Chapter 161 – Punishment
Seeing the flourishing scene of the Jin Garden, the old master asked his mother-in-law to carry the “Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers” and a few other pots of colorful flowers to Fu An Hall, so that the old lady could enjoy them for a few days before carrying them back.
Jiang Yishi and Meng Zimo were working with the old man on the flowers and plants. Meng second grandma saw, and let little brother An send herbal tea to honor the great-grandfather.
Jiang Yishi was busy for a while, and went to the kitchen to make hot pots, and asked Grandma Wu to make a few savory dishes.
After the old man finished tending to the flowers and plants, Meng Ruimo invited him to have lunch in the floating residence.
The words are also good, “Xie Xie personally made a tonic soup for grandfather, grandchildren with grandfather to drink two cups.”
The old man gladly stayed. After entering the house, he quietly told Jiang Yishi, “I’m almost finished with that kind of good tea, do you still have it, give me some more. I’m saving it all to drink, the old woman’s health is not good, it’s mainly for her to drink.”
The good tea he was talking about was the tea that had been specially treated by Master Yuwa. He also tasted out that that kind of tea was not only good to drink, it was also beneficial to one’s body.
Jiang Yishi laughed, “Master Yuhe gave three pounds. I know that grandfather likes, he did not want to drink, the grandfather craved hard to give him to drink a little. I gave Grandfather a catty before, and now I have more than a catty left. I’ll give him another pound, and keep the rest for him to drink. Grandfather Wan Mo said out that I gave it to him, I really don’t have any more.”
She was unwilling to give it to Cheng Guo Gong and Fu, so she had to say this.
The old master smiled wryly, “Grandfather knows that you are filial, externally I have said that this tea is subordinate filial piety. Eldest son and second son asked a few times who sent it, I didn’t say anything.”
Jiang Yishi personally went to Fu’an Hall to invite the old lady to have lunch at Fusheng Residence, but the old lady refused because of her lack of health.
These days, the old lady to Meng Ruimo and Jiang Yishi are light, words outside the words to knock, to distinguish between inside and outside, can not be combined with outsiders against their own family.
The old lady is good, afraid of shame the new daughter-in-law, embarrassed to say more bad words. Jiang Yishi said euphemistically, as if she did not hear who she was talking about.
Jiang Yishi’s intention was to invite the old lady to have a meal at the Floating Life House, and to give her a good health conditioning. In her previous life, she had died of illness in a few months.
In the future, Meng Zhimo would not be home often when he went to the court, so Jiang Yishi could not afford to leave the old man alone to eat at the Floating Life House. If the old lady could come, the old couple could often eat at the Floating Life House.
Seeing that the old lady does not come, Jiang Yishi only had to go back to the floating life of the residence of a small can of soup, and personally took to the Fu An Hall filial piety to the old lady. According to reason, she should also send another cup to the Fu Clan, and even send it to the elders, Second Lady Meng and Third Lady Meng.
But she is not willing to send to the Fu’s, do not want to do face love, will not send to the other two elders.
The old lady is eating the morning meal. Said, “You have a heart, put it down.”
Jiang Yishi obediently put it down, smiled and boasted, “Grandmother taste, granddaughter-in-law’s handiwork is very good na.”
The old lady did not drink, repeatedly let people take plates to follow over to the flower flowers to feast on food.
Flowers stayed with the old lady, Jiang Yishi went back to the floating life residence.
The old man came back from the morning meal and asked the old lady, “How does that tonic soup taste?”
The old lady said, “I didn’t drink it, I rewarded my subordinates for drinking it.”
The old master frowned in pain, “If you want to be angry, don’t be upset with your body. Jiang knows medicine, and has some insight into tonic medicines. When she was in her mother’s house, even the Grand Princess Yichang often had people go to her house to ask for tonic soup.”
The old lady felt that the old master was exaggerating by treating Jiang Clan differently because of Jiang Chen.
Saying, “It’s just a little daughter-in-law who grew up in the inner house, where is it so mysterious. I do not like to eat the people, that Jiang’s by Li Zhenbao bullying Hua girl, is not her.
“Not too young used to be able to please, every day the man detained in the house, and now come to coax us. The eldest son has been blaming himself these days, saying that if he had known that Jiang was so bad, he shouldn’t have let Resignation Mo marry her. Alas, it’s a pity that Resignation Mo, should have found him a daughter-in-law with more atmosphere, but I didn’t realize that this daughter-in-law is even more careful.”
If Jiang’s father hadn’t died saving his grandson, she wouldn’t have given Jiang a good look.
The old master didn’t say anything, he had been observing the days after returning to the residence.
Only a few days of work, the world’s son and the great grandmother is extremely love, love is also no scruples, the great grandmother together with outsiders to bully the little aunt a few things in the house quietly spread ……
The old lady and the eldest son is not happy Jiang’s with outsiders to deal with the little sister, but as the family’s eldest son and Fu’s how can the subordinates so arranged the master?
Think of the eldest grandson when he was a child, “thinking too much, small-minded, do not know gratitude, do not respect elders” and other shortcomings is so spread out, right?
It seems that there is no Fu’s a little thing, but she as the head of the family, if she has the intention to control, how the rumors could be so very. This kind of person, how can be a loving mother.
The old master glanced at the old lady, talking too much to catch a few breaths. I don’t know when, the old lady completely handed over the affairs of the house to Fu, only listening to the words of the eldest son and his wife. He himself had been remiss in his duties, rarely being at home, and at home he only knew how to care about the court, not giving much thought to the affairs of the inner house.
Although Changsun didn’t tell him explicitly, he knew that Changsun and his granddaughter-in-law must have done it on purpose. Those two children were smart enough to know to tear open the gap and lure the enemy to strike. The enemy would only know how to fight back if they struck. More than that, they still wanted to show themselves Fu’s true virtue, right? It s just that, in the end, they are a bit young and too eager to achieve success ……
Then let’s take a look at their respective virtues.
However, the old lady s body should still be managed, not only let her drink that kind of good tea that can strengthen her body every day, but also let Jiang’s often send tonic soup over …… No, if Jiang’s take the initiative to send, it is not good to only send it to Fu An Tang. Then let the Fu An Tang people take the initiative to go to the floating residence to be, no relatives and no relatives of the Yichang Grand Princess have the good sense to go to want, their own this serious elders should be more ……
Suddenly, a series of scattered footsteps came from outside.
A small girl came in and reported, “In the inner courtyard council hall, the big lady lost her temper, hit two people on the board, deducted five people’s monthly money, and even the Qin steward was reprimanded.”
The old lady was extremely puzzled, “The eldest daughter-in-law is good-natured, it’s rare for her to lose her temper. Why did she hit someone?”
The little girl shook her head, “I don’t know, they punish people behind closed doors ……”
The old lady gave Sister Ye a corner of her eye, and Sister Ye quickly walked out.
More than two moments later Sister Ye returned, she was a little embarrassed, “It seems to be because of Great Grandma ……”
The old master frowned, “Stuttering, what is it?”
Sister Ye only had to say, “These days, there are some bad rumors in the mansion about Master Shizi and Great Grandma, the Great Lady was angry when she heard about it, and had people privately investigate. It was the first one from the Ma Er family in the Great Kitchen to say that one of her sisters-in-law works as an errand boy at the Floating Life Residence. The one who spread the most rumors was the Hexi family, who specializes in sweeping the North Lake ……”
