Chapter 207.
In the middle of the night, while Jiang Yishi was sleeping in a daze, she heard the sound of scratching the door.
Then, Shui Qing’s voice was faintly heard, “Great Grandma is already asleep, come back with me.”
Hua Hua was reluctant and meowed.
Shui Qing’s voice, “Ouch, the back of my hand is scratching again.”
Jiang Yishi came to her senses and said loudly, “Let Hua Hua come in.”
Shui Ling, who was on night duty in the side room, walked out, took Hua Hua and patted its little butt, scolding in a low voice, “It’s the middle of the night, and it’s still making noise.”
Among these several maids, only Shui Ling dared to hit it, and Flower could not do anything with Shui Ling. Shui Ling’s hands and feet are flexible, flowers want to scratch her bite her, basically will not succeed. Occasionally, Shui Ling is not afraid of pain, and will also pinch its little butt.
It went to the owner to complain, the owner does not hurt to say a few words to the water spirit, the water spirit next time the same pinch. Over time, the flowers will not dare to mess with the water spirit.
Shui Ling put Hua Hua down, lit the lamp again, and left the bedroom.
Jiang Yishi is not interested in the content of today’s conversation, but it is not good not to appreciate the small things. Getting up and leaning on the bed, she said, “It’s late, keep it brief and pick the highlights.”
Hua Hua meowed, “Meng Dummy wants to take 25,000 taels of silver to give Meng Lao San a bride price, but the old Duke of State disagreed, saying that it was the treatment of a son of the world. The bride price for the first son of the house is twenty thousand taels of silver, so take twenty thousand taels. Duke Cheng also said that he posted his private house, his two sons treatment should be the same.
“The old Duke of State said that to post private posting, the bride price can only be twenty thousand, this is a fixed rule …… The old Duke of State also said that Miss Cui is small in age, and Meng Laosan is not big, and Meng Laosan will marry again after the spring exams. Cheng Guogong and pay granny are reluctant, especially pay granny, are crying, they want to marry next year. To make a long story short, after a lot of arguments, the old State Duke won in the end.
“Afterward, the old lady educated the paymaster-in-law, telling her to remember that the in-laws were her home, and if she dared to turn her elbow out again, don’t blame them for not being polite. Meng Foolishly helped her daughter-in-law again, saying that Paying Granny wouldn’t betray her in-laws and that the incident was an accident. The old Duke of State was so angry that he wanted to hit again, and only then did he shut his mouth …… Then there was the change of venue.”
Hua Hua stopped to take a few breaths and shook his beard again, his voice became strange, “Ow~~ Ow~~ Ow~~”
Jiang Yishi shivered and got goosebumps. Hurry to call a halt, “Stop stop stop …… you call spring, the voice is so unpleasant.”
Flowers and weirdly screamed a few times, only to return to the normal voice meowed, “It is not me who screamed spring, it is the pay granny who screamed spring, heard my four legs trembling, and rushed to run away. Tsk tsk, I’ve heard so many wallopers, the current mother-in-law’s, the original mother-in-law’s, the original mother-in-law’s daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law’s, none of them look like her, shame on her.”
Jiang Yishi brainstormed that scene and burst out laughing. Snapping, she said, “What a little villain. Alright, you go rest.”
After Hua Hua left, Jiang Yishi came to her senses.
It seemed that whether it was based on political reasons or family reasons, the old master didn’t want Meng Ruyu to marry Cui Wenjun while Fu was alive. There were still at least two and a half years left after Meng Ruyu finished the Chun Exam. With such a long time, he should be able to find out about Fu’s situation and then secretly get her killed or repudiate her. Even if they don’t find out, they won’t leave Fu as a scourge.
Fu was cunning and would definitely find a way to make the Cui family propose an early consummation of the marriage. But Cui Zisu is an old ghost, if he does not like this marriage, he will also find a way to push …… it back.
Since there is still so much time left, the bride price is not too busy at this moment.
However, thinking of Meng Daoming had to stick five thousand taels of silver to Meng Ruyu, wanting Meng Ruyu and Meng Ruimo bride price as high, Jiang Yishi again cursed.
Listening to Meng Ruimo, from childhood to adulthood, Meng Ruyu had gotten much more than Meng Ruimo, including material things and fatherly love. The only time Meng Ruimo got more than Meng Ruyu, still as a rule, Meng Daoming became uncomfortable.
It wasn’t a matter of money, but it was too chilling.
Fortunately, the old master was toward Meng Ruimo, and privately gave him a lot of private rooms ……
This is also not a problem of money, but let Meng Ruimo, who lacked love since childhood, feel the warmth of home and have thoughts.
The next day, after breakfast, Jiang Yishi went to Fu An Hall to ask for peace.
The old master and the old lady briefed on the bride price, saying that there was plenty of time, so Jiang Yishi could take her time to prepare.
After leaving Fu An Hall, Meng Zhi Yu came to thank Jiang Yishi again, “It’s hard on sister-in-law, you still have to be busy for your brother at this time.”
With a smile in his eyes, he bowed to Jiang Yishi. It seemed that the matter of her dragging him into the water had never happened, nor had the matter of Meng Zhimo and Jiang Yishi joining hands to fight against the Fu Clan.
Jiang Yishi didn’t want to pretend, those tragic experiences in her previous life made it impossible for her to laugh at the Fu Clan.
She only said, “Third Master is polite.”
At the end of the sixth hour, Jiang Yirou was the first to come to the Floating Life Residence.
The little girl was dressed very beautifully.
She quietly told Jiang Yishi that the Wei family’s marriage was retired, and she heard that the old Wei family was very unhappy, saying that the Jiang family had been hanging on to the Wei family for so long, and in the end, they still didn’t agree.
Uncle Jiang and Third Master talked to Old Mrs. Jiang for a long time. Although the old lady was very reluctant, she still promised not to care about Jiang Xun’s marriage, and wanted to promise Miss Duan to Jiang Wen.
Jiang Wen is the second son of Jiang uncle, thirteen years old this year, two months younger than Miss Duan.
Jiang Bozhi’s impression of Miss Duan is good, the Duan family has money and other relations, with a second son marriage he is also willing. This also depends on whether the Duan family is willing or not, after all, the Duan family is interested in having the Duke of Cheng Guo son as a brother-in-law and went to the Beijing martial arts hall Jiang Xun ……
What Jiang Yirou didn’t dare to say was that the old lady cursed Jiang Yishi, and cursed very hard.
Jiang Yizhi guessed that the old lady was unhappy, and she no longer cared.
Not long after, Zheng Tingting, Zheng Jingjing, Zheng Fangfang, Zhao Qiuyue, and Xue Qingliu came, and Cui Wenjun didn’t come.
Several young girls had heard about the Empress Dowager’s bestowal of marriage to Meng Zhiyu and Cui Wenjun.
Except for Zheng Tingting and Zheng Jingjing, several other little girls were extremely envious of this marriage, saying that the man is talented and the woman is good looking, and the family is a good match …….
Zheng Tingting had heard some of the inside story, Zheng Jingjing was completely ignorant.
Meng Lan and Meng Frost were again invited to accompany the guests.
In the next morning, a few young girls took Hua Hua with them to the warming room to visit the flowers, nowadays Jin Yuan’s flowers and plants are famous in the capital.
Jiang Yishi and Zheng Tingting walked at the end.
Zheng Tingting nibbled her ear with Jiang Yishi, “Miss Cui won’t like this marriage. Previously, we all saw that Third Duke Meng might be interested in Miss Cui, and we didn’t stop poking fun at her. Miss Cui also had a very good impression of Third Duke Meng, but she said her father didn’t like it.
“Third Duke Meng is very good, what Lord Cui doesn’t like wouldn’t be him, it should be the people behind him. Alas, the Cui family picked and picked, but still picked a son-in-law that Lord Cui doesn’t like.”
When the little girl finished speaking, she gave Jiang Yishi a meaningful look. She was very lucky that her own family had rejected Lord Cheng’s marriage proposal. The Empress Dowager asked Uncle Grandmother again before giving her big brother and Meng Hua the gift of marriage.
The two of them glanced at each other again, as much as they could.
