Chapter 179: Bringing Up the Mother’s Family

Breakfast was laid out on the kang table. There was a bowl of bird’s nest, a bowl of rouge rice porridge, an egg, a small dish of meat buns, and a small dish of scallion oil pancakes.

Jiang Yishi actually ate half of it. Perhaps the time is still early, in addition to drowsiness, there are no other early pregnancy reactions.

At the beginning of lunchtime, Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Xun, Jiang Yirou came with gifts.

Jiang Xun still walks with a slight limp, looking at Jiang Yishi giggling. He heard yesterday that he was going to be an uncle, so happy that he did not sleep well all night.

Jiang Yirou quickly ran over and wrapped her arms around Jiang Yishi, laughing, “Second sister, I’m finally going to be a sister-in-law.”

Jiang Xun also said, “I’m going to be an uncle.”

Third Lady Jiang first blamed Jiang Yirou for two sentences, “So big and still don’t know what’s important, don’t touch your second sister.” Then she smiled at Jiang Yixi and said, “Congratulations, girl Xie, you’re expecting a baby in less than two months after marrying into your in-laws’ family.”

?

This news made everyone in the Jiang family happy. Jiang Yi Hui had married into her in-laws for three years without getting pregnant, which was one of the criticized points of the Jiang family’s daughters looking for in-laws.

Jiang Yixi checked Jiang Xun’s injuries, the scars on his face had become very light, and his foot injuries were basically healed. Jiang Yishi put her heart down, she was still afraid that Jiang Xun’s face would remain scarred, then it would be a pity for this handsome face.

Being pulled by his sister to look like this, Jiang Xun reddened his face and grinned with a giggle.

Third Mrs. Jiang and Jiang Xun were invited to sit on the circle chair, Jiang Yishi pulled Jiang Yirou to sit side by side on the kang. Hua Hua very consciously did not go to stick to Jiang Yirou who is close to Jiang Yishi, but jumped on Jiang Xun’s arms.

Third Lady Jiang took a look at the room full of riches and laughed, “Ma’am Shiyi is blessed.”

They talked about the Jiang family’s affairs. Today the old lady and uncle Jiang went to the palace to pay their respects, the old lady was so excited that she didn’t sleep well for a few days.

Uncle Jiang was engaged to marry again, next March. The betrothed is a twenty-two year old girl, because her fiancé died of illness a few days before the wedding and delayed the marriage.

Jiang YiYan is fifteen years old, high not low, the marriage is not settled. The old lady saw that it was not good enough to climb up the ladder, so she wanted to betroth her to one of her sister’s grandchildren. Jiang Bo master is not willing to be angry for a few days before the old lady put away her hand …….

After finishing what should be said, Jiang third wife is a bit of speechless, looked at Jiang Xun and Jiang Yirou a glance.

Jiang Xun and Jiang Yirou can see, this is to say that certain topics are not willing to let them hear.

Jiang Xun got up and laughed, “Third sister and I will go to the Brocade Garden to take a look, it looks so good there.”

He stuffed Hua Hua into Jiang Yirou’s arms, went to the porch to carry Jojo, and the two of them went to the pavilion in the brocade garden to drink tea.

Second Grandma Meng saw this and had her nursemaid bring An Ge’er to accompany them to talk.

Logically, Meng Ruyu, who was studying in the front yard, should have invited her male guest Jiang Xun to the front yard to catch up at this time. Jiang Yishi would then be able to invite Meng Lan and Meng Frost to play with Jiang Yirou and keep them for dinner at the Floating Life Residence.

However, Fu’s mother and son were not close to Meng Ruimo, and Meng Ruyu had even more of a relationship with Jiang Yishi, so she left Jiang Xun alone.

After Jiang Xun and Jiang Yishi left, Jiang Third Lady lowered her voice and said, “I heard my master’s meaning, the old lady for Xun’s good look at a girl, is her niece niece. My master disagreed, saying that Xun’er has great prospects and should be matched with a good family.

“But the old lady wants to bring up her mother’s family, Yan Yatou’s marriage did not work out, so she wants Xun Er to marry this niece. My master in the end is an uncle, this is not good to meddle. Shiyatou want to think of a way to eliminate the old lady of this mind. That girl I saw once ……”

She shook her head and didn’t continue on.

Jiang Yishi furrowed her brows. The old lady’s mother’s family wasn’t just low on family power, the key was inappropriate. Looking at the old lady’s short-sightedness and greed for money, as well as the expression on Third Mrs. Jiang’s face, it was impossible for the girl taught by that family to be good.

Jiang Yishi was a bit angry.

That old lady can only see the money and profit in front of her, and she is cool, how can she make people not like her. In the face of Jiang Chen, if the old lady was a little more kind, Jiang Yishi would honor her.

But look at what she did!

Jiang Yishi said, “Thank you Third Uncle and Third Aunt, I know, I will find a way to stop the old lady.”

Mrs. Jiang laughed again and said, “There is another family that has taken a liking to Zou Yaotou, and asked someone to come and say yes. That family is good, the descendant is good, the errand is also good …… Your third uncle and I want to ask the second aunt to help inquire about, if the descendant is really as good as said, then settled.”

This descendant is exactly the family that Jiang Yirou said in her previous life. The family’s position, duties, and talents were all good, but the descendant had a hidden disease and died not long after he was married. The family was also widowed and treated Jiang Yirou very badly, saying that she had killed her husband.

Jiang Yirou laughed, ”Good, I will ask my family’s grand master to inquire clearly. Fourth sister is a good girl, with good looks, talent, and temperament, so don’t be in a hurry, third aunt. My grand master and I are both helping her inquire about it ……”

Third Mrs. Jiang was pleased with herself.

Jiang Yishi stayed with them for the morning meal, and Mrs. Jiang said she wanted to check out the Jin Garden and took Jiang Yirou out. She was trying to give Jiang Yishi and Jiang Xun a chance to whisper.

Jiang Yizhi pulled Jiang Xun to sit beside her. She looked at Jiang Xun carefully, more and more like Jiang Chen.

Jiang Yishi’s nose was a little sour, wiping her gray-free face with a handkerchief, she laughed, “My younger brother is growing more and more like father, and more and more handsome as well.”

Jiang Xun red faced and giggled, letting his sister wipe.

Jiang Yi shi let the maid make two pairs of shoes to her, from the sleeve purse out three fifty taels of silver tickets into his hand.

Jiang Xun pushed back, “Sister, I have money.”

“You have is yours, this is what sis gave you. Eat better in school, if you don’t have any money, talk to sis.”

Jiang Yishi babbled on for a long time, telling him to pay attention, if a girl from the old lady’s maiden family came to the Jiang family, he must be careful not to be set up. And let him keep a distance from Zheng Jing, less play with those playboys ……

Jiang Yishi said one sentence, Jiang Xun promised one sentence.

Waiting for the mother and daughter of the Third Lady Jiang to come over, they excused themselves and left. Jiang Yishi gave Jiang Yirou another box of palace flowers, and gave old Mrs. Jiang a satin and some tonic medicine.

Jiang Yishi’s sudden generosity towards the old lady made Third Mrs. Jiang a little puzzled.

At the beginning of the next morning’s shen hour, the people who went to pay their birthday calls came back. The old lady was exhausted and went to bed to rest as soon as she returned to Fu An Hall. She had already instructed in the morning that each would eat their own dinner.

Jiang Yishi was still asleep in bed, Meng Jimo tiptoed to the west side of the house.

The house was silent.

Sister Wu, Lin Xiang, and Shui Ling were in the kitchenette cooking dinner, while Shui Xiang and Mei Xiang went to the needlework room to collect fabrics and threads for the children’s garments.

There was no more water in the teapot, Shui Qing was about to go to the ear room to carry water when she saw Hua Hua running back from outside.

She grabbed Hua Hua and said in a small voice, “Where did you get so dirty, go to the backyard to take a bath.”

She looked around and said to Xiaozhu, who was standing in the yard, “Go to the ear room and carry water to make tea for Master, who is in the west side house. Be gentle with your hands and feet, if you make too much noise and wake up Great Grandma, see if Shui Ling doesn’t beat you up.”
