Chapter 149 – New Home

The room finally fell silent.

Jiang Yishi said, ”Quickly remove the phoenix crown, my neck is about to be crushed. And drink the herbal tea, thirsty. To bathe, hot.”

After a day of not talking and not drinking, her voice was a bit dark and hoarse.

Shui Xiang hurried over to help her remove the phoenix crown. Shui Ling served a cup of herbal tea that had been prepared earlier, and took out a large bushel fan to fan her.

The house put four pots of ice, every now and then to change, the partition window is also open greatly, today there is a wind, still feel stuffy. Good thing the rouge and powder is good, not sweat stains make-up.

Two fresh-faced maids went to the purification room to prepare.

Sister Wu also came to the cave, reported with a smile, “I’m afraid that Hua Hua and Jojo disturbed the guests, and detained them in the backyard. The dowry has been basking in the yard, and has just been put away in the backyard compartment ……”

Jiang Yixi twisted her sore neck and finished her cup of tea, finally relieved.

Only then did she have the presence of mind to look around the house. Familiar furniture, red tents and red quilts, red damask colored flowers, palace lamps draped with red spikes, large red joyful candles, light red curtains, the sound of birds chirping outside, and the bustle just now ……

Everything is so joyful.

A maid came over and curtsied and said, “Great grandmother, slave girl Lin Xiang, bath soup is ready.”

Another maid also curtsied and said, “Great Grandmother, slave girl Lin Mei.”

Meng Zhimo had already told Jiang Yishi that Linxiang was his eldest maid, sixteen years old. Lin Mei was a second-class maid, thirteen years old. She had been serving him in the outer courtyard study before and was trustworthy. Fu’s past maids have all been sent away by him for the wrong reasons.

Jiang Yishi laughed, “Serve well in the future.”

Linxiang and Linmei heard this and knelt down to kowtow again, “Yes, at Great Grandmother’s command.”

Shui Xiang handed over two wallets containing four silver ingots.

Shui Xiang and Shui Ling served Jiang Yishi and went to the purification room to take a bath. It was hot, so they even washed their heads together.

Jiang Yishi put on a big red silk dress, much cooler. Her hair was half-dried, and she casually pulled a roll on top of her head. Because she was too excited, even though she hadn’t put on any makeup, her cheeks were still as colorful as a red haze.

The food was already set on the kang table in the east side of the house.

Although Jiang Yishi was very hungry, she still took a tour of the new home first.

The east side of the house was the living room, with the south window facing the kang, and the food was already set on the lacquered and gilded kang table.

The living room was very large, with a light green curtain and a nine-panel, double-sided embroidered screen dividing the space into two areas. On one side of the large room, there were a high table, an eight-immortal table, and two rows of eunuchs’ chairs. On the other side is a round table a few brocade stools, a row of multi-precious pavilion, three-legged filigree enamel incense burner with curling smoke.

The west side of the house is a small living room, beauty couch beside the ancient zither. She was reborn more than a year have not played the piano, reached out and fiddled with the strings a few times, making a few sounds of running water.

The west house is a study, and both walls are bookshelves ……

In addition to the bedroom, each room is covered with a large pile carpet from Persia, and the furniture is all made of yellow pear, carved flowers and jades, saying that it is not rich.

Here is another feature, is the partition window open lower than the general house is bigger, sitting in the house can see the scenery of the courtyard. In the center is a pond, surrounded by flowers, on both sides is the east and west rooms, and then leaning against the side of the good trees and bamboos …….

The last glimmer of the evening sun dyed everything with a layer of golden light, and the colored lights on the trees under the porch were all lit up.

This place was supervised by Meng Gaoshan, but the silver and labor still had to be paid by Fu.

Listening to Meng Ruimo said, floating life residence to engage in such a big battle, the old lady specifically praised Fu, said she “heart is right”.

In terms of face, Fu has always been so good at what she does. Today, when paying homage to the high hall, Fu’s words were very nice, even because Meng Ruimo finally married a daughter-in-law and excitedly shed tears, more than a mother than a mother.

Regardless of whether Fu was trying to make a name for herself or to show how poor the Jiang family was, Jiang Yishi didn’t care. She had long since lost sight of all the superficial glitz and glamor.

As long as it was her home and his home, she loved it. She believed that Meng Zhimo felt the same way.

She still wanted to go to the courtyard to take a look, but was stopped by Sister Wu.

“Great Grandma has only just married in, she’ll go out again tomorrow.”

Jiang Yishi sat cross-legged on the bed, and just as she picked up her chopsticks, Grandma Wu whispered again, “Great Grandma, you’re a bride today, it’s not good for you to eat alone. Eat two pieces of dim sum first to pad your appetite, and then eat together when Master Shizi returns.”

Seeing the chickens, ducks, fish and meat on the table, Jiang Yishi’s stomach ached from hunger. Thinking of the misery of her previous life at this time, this life was already too happy.

She put down her chopsticks and only took two pieces of dim sum to eat.

Not long after, she heard a maid’s voice outside, “Master Shizi is back.”

Then came the familiar sound of footsteps.

Jiang Yishi was overjoyed, and just as he walked to the hall room, Meng Zhimo had already walked in with large strides.

He held Jiang Yishi, who curtsied to him, his eyes overflowing with smiles, “Hungry, right?”

Jiang Yishi replied matter-of-factly, “Uh-huh.”

Meng Zhimo led her to sit on the bed, “Let’s eat first.”

He took off his hat and handed it to Lin Mei, and took out a handkerchief to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead.

Jiang Yishi said, “Brother Meng should go bathe first.”

Jiang Yishi had agreed to call him “Brother Meng” in private after the wedding.

Meng Zhimo laughed and said, “Eat before you go.”

Saying this, he picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and instead of putting the dishes he had clamped into his own bowl, he put them into Jiang Yishi’s bowl.

“Eat quickly, you haven’t eaten for a day, you’re starving.”

Grandma Wu smiled with her face full of folds, she could see that Auntie was afraid that her girl was hungry.

Jiang Yishi was very familiar with Meng Zhimo and was not willing to be fake shy, picking up her bowl and eating.

Meng Jimo wasn’t hungry and only ate a little bit occasionally, watching Jiang Yishi eat. Afraid of Jiang Yishi’s shyness, he looked at her for a couple of moments and turned his gaze away, then looked again for a couple of moments.

Jiang Yishi felt she could still eat another bowl of rice, but when she glanced over her shoulder, she saw Grandma Wu giving her a wink, and knew that she was reminding the bride that she couldn’t eat too much, so she had to put down her chopsticks and bowls.

Meng Zhimo took the clothes and pants in Lin Xiang’s hands and went to the purification room to bathe.

When he came out in his red damask pants and hair, Jiang Yishi entered the purification room again.

Shui Xiang served her to rinse her mouth with water dripping with fragrant dew, leaving a lingering fragrance in her mouth. Then simply scrub some, did not wash her hair, just combed her hair. Shui Xiang had been instructed by Sister Wu to sprinkle jasmine perfume on Jiang Yishi’s body, and the belts of her belly-band and Chinese pants were tied loosely.

Jiang Yishi walked into the bedroom, the house of the ice and changed again, the window closed only a crack, the roof hanging down the palace lights have been extinguished, only two happy candle burning, the flame jumped and jumped, appearing to be more cozy and nong Li house.

Meng Zhimo’s hair has been dried, sitting on the bed waiting for her.

When he saw her come out, he smiled at her, and the love in his eyes was like honey that couldn’t be melted.

Jiang Yishi blushed, water fragrance opened a corner of the quilt, she lay to go inside. Only when Meng Zhimo put his legs on the bed did Shui Xiang bow with a red face and say, “I wish Master Shizi and Great Grandmother a happy and prosperous life, and an early birth.”

These words were what Sister Wu had taught her to say.

She put down the Luo tent before quietly retreating.
