Chapter 129: Formal Appearance

Ruyi Hall was instantly bustling with activity as everyone congratulated the old lady in unison.

Third old master’s granddaughter-in-law, Sun Clan, laughed and said, “Ai yo yo, the old lady is blessed, her granddaughter-in-law is the son in law of the Bofu, and her future grandson-in-law is the son in law of the Duke of State’s House, a general of the third rank. The blessings of the whole world can all be taken up by your old man.”

The old lady was patted on the back and laughed, pointing at Sun and saying, “Just your little mouth is sweet.”

Accompanied by Jiang Jin, Meng Zhimo and Guo Zifei came to Ruyi Hall together.

Guo Zifei was average looking, dark and chubby, with fancy clothes wrapped around his body.

Meng Ruimo wore a third-grade military official’s uniform, with a jade-like appearance and a good meter. His starry eyes were shining, and he couldn’t tell that he was blind before. Standing together with Guo Zifei, he looked even more elegant and dignified.

Everyone’s eyes were attracted to Meng Zhimo.

This was Meng Jimo’s first real appearance in the capital after his eyes had healed. Before that, besides going to the palace to see the Emperor once, he was basically busy in the military camp, and would only occasionally meet with Jiang Yishi quietly. He seldom even returned to the Meng Mansion, and refused the promotion banquet that the Meng Mansion was preparing to hold for him.

Years ago, he was not well known in the capital, those who are not familiar with him only know that the eldest son of the Duke of Cheng, at the age of fifteen, followed his grandfather to the border to fight in the war, and on the way back fell off his horse and became blind.

The three most outstanding people in the Duke of Cheng’s residence, one is the wife of the world’s son of twenty years ago, Qu’s, the beauty of the group. One was Meng Yue eight or nine years ago, the first of the “Four Beauties of the Capital”. One is the current Meng Yu, a gentleman like jade, talented, at the age of sixteen, won the Lifeng.

But it turns out that Meng Shizi is even more remarkable …… Not to mention the women in Ruyi Hall, even the men in the front yard were surprised that Meng Ruimo’s talent is actually better than Meng Ruyu.

No wonder, when his mother was alive, she was one of the “Two Songs”, and his aunt was once the most beautiful concubine in the palace.

Everyone looked at Meng Zhimo with surprise. Jiang YiYan was even more so, not only did she stare blankly, but her mouth was even half-open, and she even called out “Meng Shizi” in a low voice later on.

The Third Mistress was the first to react, frowned and coughed, but she couldn’t wake Jiang YiYan up.

Jiang Yishi saw Jiang YiYan like this, also quite ashamed to have such a cousin.

Guo Zifei gave the old lady a long bow and called out, “Grandmother.”

It was Meng Zhimo’s first time seeing the old madam, and when the underlings set up a futon, he knelt down and kowtowed.

“Latecomer pays his respects to grandmother.”

Even though he hadn’t yet become the Jiang family’s official son-in-law, calling the old lady “grandmother” was correct.

The old lady was happy, and agreed with a pile of voices, “Eh, eh, good …… child, good child.”

First wanted to call “good son-in-law”, and then hurriedly changed to “good child”.

Luo Luo took a tray with a jasper brush holder on it. This was something that the old lady had specially prepared when she learned that Meng Jimo was coming to celebrate her birthday.

Meng Ruimo didn’t bring her subordinates to the backyard, and the old lady’s other eldest maid, Yu Zhan, went up to receive it, and took it out in a few moments to hand it over to Meng Shizi’s subordinates.

After the two men met, Jiang Jin accompanied them to the outer courtyard to eat.

After the birthday dinner and a period of joking, the guests took their leave.

Meng Zhimo’s gift this time was also more expensive, it was a rosewood carved flower Pokou rack.

Jiang Yishi had some pain, she knew that Meng Ruimo was doing this to give her a long face. But she would rather not have this face.

Later realized, Zheng Shaobao house also sent a congratulatory gift. Master something did not come, the chief sent a pair of official kilns out of the five-color porcelain vase.

This pair of vases is a fine product, half a person high, will not be less than two hundred taels of silver, the old lady and the Jiang uncle is quite satisfied.

In addition to Meng Zhimo sent the Bo Gu Rack to Ruyi Hall, the other gifts Jiang Bo masters have received into their own private coffers.

Jiang Yishi secretly grunted, the younger generation’s thank you gift to confiscate half, the elder generation’s thank you gift almost all keep their own, only that mother and son to do it, but also think it should be so.

Meng Ruimo is more handsome than Meng Ruyu, and the story has been spreading in the streets and alleys. Many people didn’t believe it, and felt that the source of such rumors was in the Jiang residence, which was the residence of Meng Ruimo’s fiancée, and that it must have been the Jiang residence that plastered its own son-in-law’s face with gold, and spoke out of turn…….

Shui Ling was furious when she heard these rumors outside, and went back to Jiang Yi Shi and said, “Miss, you should hurry up and write a letter to Meng Shizi, and tell him to go to Changshun East Street, Changshun West Street, Luofu Street, and Jinjiao Street, so that those ungrateful people can see whether Meng Shizi is handsome or Meng Er Gongzi is handsome.”

Those four streets were the busiest streets in the capital.

Shui Xiang laughed and snapped, “How dare you think of that. Meng Shizi’s heart is loaded with family and state affairs, but also for who is handsome and who is not handsome to go skating on the street.”

Jiang Yishi was also very happy, ignoring this girl’s broken thoughts.

Since meeting Meng Zhimo, Jiang YiYan is also a bit abnormal, condescending to come to the burning courtyard twice. When she came, she wore a smelly face, and her words were all over the place.

Jiang Yishi knows what she is thinking, she is looking at Meng Zhimo handsome, and is the son of the world, the third grade general, himself this orphan girl can not match him. The only person who can match him in this house is the first daughter of the Burmese House.

Jiang Yishi won’t be polite to this girl, and disliked her with a few words.

Two days later, a deed was handed over to Jiang Yishi again.

The third master and his wife had people already sell the land and manor in Tangzhou Chang County, due to the rush to sell, they lost eighty or so taels of silver, which was made up by the eldest house. And in the suburbs of the capital Tonglin County bought eight hundred acres of second-class land, spent five thousand and forty taels of silver.

Every account is clearly stated, the extra forty taels of silver and a few taels of silver used for errands are all posted by Master and Mrs. Jiang San.

This piece of land Jiang Yishi is very satisfied, closer to Huzhuang, Wu Dabo father and son can be managed together. Jiang Yishi took their love, the forty silver back to the Third Mistress. The Third Mistress did not accept it, saying that the elders to the younger generation to post this money still accept, to tell people laugh.

Jiang Yirou privately told Jiang Yishi, the loss of more than eighty silver when selling the land, or the third master mentioned the old lady, the old lady let Jiang Jin take out.

Then came the bad news, and Jiang Yirou said that the two relatives did not say. One is heard that the man’s stepmother is not kind, the three masters are afraid of the daughter married into the stepmother’s anger, not willing.

The other male family is the Jiang three masters couple very like. The latter’s uncle grandfather lived to the first rank from the Governor Commander, cousin uncle is now in South Vietnam as a general, his father is the South Battalion of the guerrilla general, the family is quite prestigious in the military. I am eighteen years old, is the fifth regiment of the battalion of the seventh grade general, also looks tall and handsome. Are ready to ask the official media officially proposed marriage, the family how to know the Zhou’s offense, do not know for what considerations are not willing to.

Zhou’s matter still affects the daughter’s marriage, Jiang three Mrs. angry to the old lady there to cry.

Jiang Yirou also angry to death, hiding in the house secretly wipe tears.

This matter is not Hua Hua said, but Jiang Yizhi himself heard.
