Chapter 142 – Floating Life Residence
Zheng Tingting was extremely excited, her little face flushed.
“Big brother, Li Zhenbao is fully filled with contradictory points. Looking average in looks and rowdy, but with a unique temperament that doesn’t let people get bored. Seems to have no heart and mind, frank and uninhibited, but actually has her wisdom, insightful, some words hit the nail on the head. There is also poker, more fun than the horse hanging that uncle grandmother likes to play, and more fun than the long cards that grandfather likes to play …… I like to play with her one place.”
Zheng Yu shook her head and laughed, “Li Zhenbao has so many merits? Perhaps she doesn’t even know it herself. However, there’s one thing my sister didn’t say, which is that her thinking is different from normal people. Before, I thought she had fewer tendons, but now I realize it’s one more. That what dry eyes, only she can think of it.”
Zheng Tingting beamed, “Mouthing off, just now you were having more fun than I was and even sneaked a few glances at her.”
Zheng Yu’s eyes glared up, “Eh, you can’t talk like that, when did I sneak a peek at her, I was looking at you, okay.”
Zheng Tingting was unsure again, she was next to Li Zhenbao, maybe big brother was looking at herself. Laughing, she said, “Oh, that’s me looking at the wrong thing. There’s also Meng Shizi, he’s really even more handsome than Third Duke Meng, and he’s also stable.”
Zheng Yu said, “Brother Meng is not only more handsome than Meng San, he is also more capable than him. Don’t say that Meng San is only a lifer now, even if he were to win the jinshi, he wouldn’t be able to compare to Big Brother Meng. When we fought the Tartars, several key battles were led by Brother Meng, and even Uncle Ji praised him for his military brilliance. Know why your brother and I play well with him, we are like-minded …….”
Meng Zhimo walked with Jiang Yishi’s siblings for three blocks before stopping.
As expected, he saw the girl open the curtain and smiled at him, her smile in the twilight light was as beautiful as a delicate flower.
He also smiled at Jiang Yishi before contentedly taking Meng Qingshan in another direction.
Meng Zhimo didn’t go home, but went to the South Wind Pavilion. There was no Shy in that home, and Grandfather wasn’t there either. Although his sister went back, she was not close to him …… He was not willing to go back.
He ate at the South Wind Pavilion and stayed until the restaurant was about to close, and then returned to the Chengguo Gongfu.
Meng Qingshan tapped the corner door, his voice was particularly abrupt in the quiet night.
“Open the door, Master Shizi is back.”
The boy sleeping in the gatehouse hurriedly got up and confirmed that it was indeed the Shizi Master before opening the door.
Meng Zhimo went directly to the outer courtyard study, listening to the maids Linxiang and Linmei report on the renovation of the courtyard and what had happened in the house recently.
Meng Ruimo still wanted to see with his own eyes how well the courtyard was decorated, and climbed over the wall into the inner courtyard.
The courtyard was called Floating Life Residence at Jiang Yishi’s suggestion, and she said she wanted to live a quiet life.
They both knew that they would definitely not be able to live these days in recent years, and hoped that these good days would come sooner.
The decoration of the Floating Life Residence is mainly supervised by Meng Gaoshan.
On the way to the Floating Life Residence, he passed by the courtyard where Meng Yue lived, Meng Yue lived here before she got married, and she also lived here after she returned to her mother’s home.
Meng Zhimo’s steps slowed down.
He had been back in the capital for so long, and hadn’t spoken to his sister for more than half a quarter of an hour. He wasn’t sure if it was wrong to let his sister return to live in the mansion. Or, she should be allowed to live elsewhere, even if life is monotonous and boring, it is better than being used …… again.
The Floating Life Residence was only two entries, the same as the rest of the Meng family’s grandchildren who had become relatives. However, the footprint was much larger.
The first courtyard is equivalent to other people’s two, the east side of the moon gate past also used a fence around a garden, before and after the flush with the floating life residence, named Jin Yuan.
This is the old man who loves flowers like an obsessive, especially entrusted. The eldest grandson’s daughter-in-law will raise flowers, and the vast majority of his flowers and plants will be put here to be raised.
Meng Zhimo knew that this was only one of the reasons. The other reason was to let people see that he was extraordinarily different to this eldest grandson who had been away from home for a long time.
There was a pond in the middle of the first courtyard, with a few water lilies floating on the surface, especially delicate under the starlight. Some of the flowers and trees had already been transplanted over, and the house was basically renovated.
The east room of the upper room is the bedroom, which is empty, waiting for the Jiang family to move furniture over before the wedding.
He stood frozen in the house for a long time, his heart overflowing with sweetness. A month later, no matter where he was, he would think of this home.
He lay down on the bed in the east side of the house and slept until the early morning before going over the wall to the outer courtyard.
Two days later, Li Zhenbao asked Jiang Yishi to go to see the “food”.
Jiang Yishi took Hua Hua and Shui Ling with her. The reason why she brought Flora was because the cook was going to try to cook something delicious today, so how could she be missing out on something delicious?
The saying to the old madam to take leave was, “County Precious asked me to go play on the street.”
The old lady asked, “Why don’t you bring Zou Yaotou this time? I heard that Little General Zheng was punished to go to County Lord Zhenbao as a guard, we are now the in-laws of the Chengguo Gongfu, and you are County Lord Zhenbao s best handkerchief friend …… Why don t you, bring Yan Yaotou with you as well.”
The refined light in her eyes made Jiang Yishi’s heart sink.
This was thinking that Zheng Yu had dropped a level and her own family had risen a level, so the two families could be in-laws?
How dare the old lady think that. Even if Zheng Yu is demoted, it is not something that the Jiang family girl can climb, unless Zheng Yu is pleased with the Jiang family girl to take the initiative to marry.
Jiang Yishi believe, Jiang Yirou will not have this kind of idea, only to Zheng Yu “demoted” half-understanding of the third lady on the heart, told the old lady what.
In order to find a good marriage for her daughter, the Third Mistress is a bit bewildered.
It seems that Li Zhenbao’s practice of “matching men and women” is really not good.
Jiang Yishi was worried, “County Prefect Zhenbao didn’t invite them, so it’s not right for me to take the initiative every time. Next time.”
The old madam also said, “If your sisters have good in-laws, it will also be a favor to you.”
“I’ll save.”
“Eating on” is on the edge of Changshun East Street, the busiest street in the capital, with the street to the east and the residence to the west. Before was two three into the mansion, last year by the Yong Wang Fu steward to buy, and into a large courtyard, according to Li Zhenbao’s design remodeled into this.
The plaque engraved with “Food” was not hung on the gatehouse, but on the roof of the main building. It was so big and tall, and so shiny that it could be seen from two blocks away.
There was a four-story building at the front, and ten separate rooms behind it, interspersed with beautiful trees and flowers and streams. There was also a small courtyard behind the Moon Gate, which was the office and warehouse of the food.
The food on the Min big boss was previously the Yong Wang Fu second steward, thirty-something years old, very capable, by Li Zhenbao forced to pry to.
Mr. Min stood in front of the door of the restaurant to welcome guests.
Hearing that this is the second proprietor, Miss Jiang, he arched his hand and smiled, “Miss Jiang, please wait in the house for tea, my master will be here in a moment.”
In front of the main building, there are fake rocks and many potted plants, seeing this déjà vu scenery, Jiang Yishi sighs.
She had come here three times in her previous life, all to buy food for her gluttonous master. At this time, she came here again, and things have changed. I don’t know if I can meet Master his old man again in this life ……
