Chapter 166.
At the end of July 11th chen hour, the sky was not yet bright, and there was a drizzling rain in the air.
Jiang Yishi sent Meng Zhimo to the gate of the courtyard and looked at the tall back without a trace before reluctantly turning around to go back to the house.
When she returned to her bedroom, she saw that Hua Hua was squatting on the footrest, open-mouthed and happy.
Jiang Yishi picked it up and wiped its feet clean with a handkerchief. It happily jumped onto the bed and meowed, “Boss Meng is finally gone, I can finally sleep with my master. Don’t disturb me, I want to sleep more in the marriage bed.”
Hua Hua slept in the bed, and Jiang Yishi leaned on the bed to think about her mind.
Meng Zhimo was busy with his official duties and had to deal with some personal matters in Ping Wang and his private army, and would not be going home for this decade……. Thinking of him running around in the rain, and then thinking of not being able to see him for such a long time, Jiang Yishi’s heart was aching.
She hesitated, but decided to follow Meng Zhimo’s advice and go directly to Fu An Hall to greet the old couple instead of going to the main courtyard to greet the Fu Clan.
She would definitely be criticized by the elders for doing so, and she would also incur the hatred of the Fu Clan and Duke Cheng even more. She didn’t care about Fu’s and Cheng Guogong’s hatred, even if she went to pay her respects, Fu still hated her and would still look for a chance to clean her up. As for the elders’ dissatisfaction, she could only earn expression elsewhere.
Thinking of this, she got up and went to the kitchen in the backyard.
At the beginning of the hour, Shui Ling and Mei Xiang went to the large kitchen to bring back breakfast.
Jiang Yishi ate breakfast and took the sedan chair to Fu An Hall, she was the first to arrive.
Seeing her come alone, the old lady asked, “Didn’t you go to greet the eldest daughter-in-law?”
Jiang Yishi smiled and said, “My grandson-in-law boiled a medicinal meal that has a relieving effect on wheezing, and for fear of letting it get cold, I hurriedly sent it to grandmother to drink.”
Shui Xiang, who was carrying a food box, walked up and took out two bowls of soup and placed them on the few. This kind of soup was good for anyone, including patients suffering from asthma.
The old lady was not interested in tonic soups, but when she heard that it had a relieving effect on asthma, she didn’t reject it anymore and picked up a spoon to take a sip.
“Mmm, it tastes really fresh.”
The old man laughed, “I told you that Zhimo’s daughter-in-law has good cooking skills, so you believe me this time. The medicinal food can also be boiled this fresh, only she can do it.”
After saying that, he picked up a spoon and started to drink the soup.
The old lady was skeptical, “This soup cures asthma, can the old master drink it?”
The old master said, “I heard the doctor say that I already have the precursor of asthma, drinking more of this kind of soup is good for the body.” He also said to Jiang Yishi, “From now on, send this kind of soup over every morning, it’s beneficial for the old woman to drink more.”
Previously, he was afraid that Jiang’s sending soup only to their two old mouths was bad. Now that Jiang said that this soup was a medicinal food for asthma, he could let her send it over every day.
They had just finished the soup when Third Lady Meng and Meng Frost arrived, followed by Third Lady Meng and Meng Lan, mother and daughter Meng Yue, Second Grandmother Meng’s mother and son came over, and Fu, Meng Qiuyu, and Meng Hua arrived last.
Fu greeted the old couple, sat down and said to Jiang Yishi, “I thought that Daughter-in-law Resignation Mo would go to my place, and waited for a while.”
She seemed to be smiling, forcing down her dissatisfaction.
Jiang Yishi got up and curtsied to her and said, “I’m sorry to keep you waiting, ma’am. I boiled the medicinal meal for asthma in the morning, and for fear of letting it get cold, I hurriedly brought it to honor my grandmother.”
Fu was so angry that she secretly grunted, you could have asked the subordinates to bring the soup to Fu An Hall first, or it wouldn’t be too late to make the soup after asking for peace. But she didn’t dare to say so and only smiled, “Oh, it’s like this. Resignation Mo’s daughter-in-law did the right thing, honoring the old lady comes first.”
Meng Hua felt that Jiang Yishi was doing this just to not go to her mother’s house to greet her, and was not putting her mother in her eyes. But with Jiang Yishi saying this, she couldn’t say much.
If it was before, the old lady would have said to have her subordinates send the soup over, and Jiang should still go and greet her mother-in-law first, as a matter of filial piety. But since hearing the old master’s words, and hearing that Granny Ma had actually hanged herself, there was more suspicion towards the Fu Clan. If Fu’s really so screwed up her stepson and stepdaughter, and had to pretend to be virtuous, why would the Resignation Mo couple want to honor her?
Seeing that the old lady didn’t say that Jiang did something wrong, Fu’s heart sank. That thing oneself indeed gullible, also eager, let the old couple dislike, but also let them more pity Jiang’s, in the future to be cautious more cautious ……
Meng Zhaoan looked around the house and asked, “Great-Uncle Mother, how come I don’t see Hua Hua?”
Jiang Yishi laughed, “Hua Hua is still sleeping.”
An Ge’er beamed, “An Ge’er is not lazy, Hua Hua is lazy.”
This made everyone laugh.
Jiang Yishi lived a peaceful life. Every morning, she sent medicinal food to the old couple, and almost every day, the old man would come to the Jin Garden to tend to the flowers and plants, and would also bring Huang Xin. Fu’s patience was excellent, and she didn’t find any more trouble on the surface, and her attitude towards Jiang Yishi was very gentle.
The only thing that Jiang Yishi and Sister Wu regretted was that on the sixteenth night Jiang Yishi had her monthly letter and did not get pregnant as she had hoped.
In the past few days, Hua Hua went into a state of alert. Not a step away from the Floating Life Residence, guarding the tomatoes every day, even sleeping with her ears standing up.
Four pots of tomatoes, of which Jiang Yishi planted two pots already have five fruit almost completely red, six red half. After the old man brought two pots, a few have already hung red. I heard from Wu You Gui that the eight pots of tomatoes in Huzhuang, there are also a few starting to hang red.
Seeing the flower’s craving, Jiang Yishi wanted to give it a pick to eat. Flower is not willing, ripe tomatoes are delicious.
Seventeen this day, the day is not yet bright, flowers suddenly shouted.
“Tomatoes are ripe, tomatoes are ripe …….”
Everyone in Floating Life Residence was woken up by it.
Jiang Yishi put on his clothes and walked out to see Hua Hua squatting in front of the tomatoes, his mouth watering.
In the weak morning sunlight, three tomatoes were seen to be reddish and reddish, without a hint of green, and the other two still had a little bit of green.
Jiang Yishi reaches out and picks one, wiping it with a handkerchief and hands it to Flower.
Hua Hua took it with both paws, first biting down with one mouthful, the red juice splashed half of his face, then two mouthfuls, three mouthfuls, a few mouthfuls and ate all the tomatoes. After that, it tilted its flowery face back to look at Jiang Yishi, it still wanted to eat.
Jiang Yishi picked off the other two fully ripe tomatoes and shook her head, ”You were the first to eat it, and ate one alone, there’s no more for you. One for someone to give to Li Zhenbao, and one to take to honor old master and old lady.”
She was afraid that Hua Hua would steal the food and locked the tomatoes in the cupboard, and took Sister Wu to the small kitchen to make vegetarian points for soup.
After breakfast, she had Wu You Gui deliver a tomato and a box of vegetarian points to Li Zhen Bao. Putting someone to take the medicinal food and a box of vegetarian points, she herself held the tomato and went to Fu An Hall.
She came earlier today, and the old couple had just finished breakfast.
They were also rare when they saw the reddish fruit. Each of them held it in their hands and looked at it for a bit before Jiang Yishi had someone bring a knife over, she cut it into slices and had someone put some cane sugar on it.
The old man first tasted a slice, smiled and said, “delicious, although not particularly sweet, but another flavor.”
The old lady tasted another piece and laughed, “Sweet and sour, delicious.”
Jiang Yishi laughed, “I heard Zhenbao say that cooking with it is even better. There are three more that are almost ripe, we can eat them tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.”
