Chapter 260: Abolished
On the eighth day of the eighth month, there was news that Second Grandma Meng was pregnant again.
Meng’s second grandmother had injured her body when she gave birth to Meng Zhaoan, and after a few years of recuperation, she was finally pregnant again.
Not to mention that the second master and his wife were overjoyed, the old couple was also happy. The old lady personally visited the door and told her to stay at home until she was three months old and not to go anywhere.
Jiang Yishi asked Linxiang to take Shui Cao and Shiping to the storehouse to find two pairs of soft cotton cloth suitable for children’s clothing, and also took two Li Zhenbao to send Cun’er’s small clothes that have not yet been on the body, and sent them to the second grandma.
ShuiCao and ShuiPing were little maids before, but now they were promoted to second-class maids. They are both twelve years old, let Linxiang and Sister Wu teach them.
Shui Xiang will be married in September, Jiang Yi Shi rewarded her with two hundred taels of silver and two pairs of gold bracelets, two jade hairpins, two sets of silver headdresses, and four satin, and has already let her go out of the house to prepare for the marriage.
Shui Xiang had worshipped Sister Wu as her godmother, and she would be married in the Wu family at that time. Sister Wu helped her with the preparations and would only come into the mansion every now and then to see her master.
Shui Xiang had served Jiang Yishi for nine years, and Jiang Yishi was very reluctant to part with her. But she is still a year older than Jiang Yishi, and is already eighteen this year. Meng Lianshan was even older, already twenty-three, so it was not good to delay them any longer.
Jiang Yishi was very happy for Shui Xiang. In her previous life, she was killed for no reason, but in this life, she not only survived, but also found a husband of her choice, and will soon be a new bride.
Shui Ling took over Shui Xiang’s class as the eldest maid. Although she is a bit reckless, but loyal, sweet-talking, eyes live, not only to Jiang Yishi favorite, but also to almost all the elders like. Wait until she is nineteen years old, that is, the year after the big year, Wu You Gui twenty, and then let them get married.
Next year, Linxiang will get married, and Meixiang will take over Linxiang’s class. Mei Xiang is fifteen years old this year, very useful, Jiang Yi Shih will keep her for two more years, when she twenty and then released to marry.
Jiang Yishi also like water Qing, very clever and loyal girl. Before the impression of Sister Qin is also good, loyal to Hu, but also loyal to Jiang Xun. But since Jiang Yishi knew about Hu’s experience with Zheng Ji when she was young, her impression of Sister Qin was greatly diminished.
When Hu did something wrong, Sister Qin not only didn’t discourage her or tell her elders, but also helped to inform them, which could be considered as aiding and abetting the evil. Hu did not dare to tell the elders the truth, otherwise Sister Qin would have been killed.
Sister Qin was young and uninformed at the time, but after Hu’s accident, she also learned a lesson and became more stable, very loyal to her master, and taught her own children well.
However, Jiang Yishi just couldn’t respect Sister Qin like she used to, and wouldn’t give Shuiqing the chance to be promoted to First Maid. When there was a suitable candidate for a descendant, she would marry her off.
In the middle of the day, the sun shone brightly, the autumn breeze was refreshing, and the osmanthus tree already had starry little flowers on it. The fragrance of the flowers was not too strong, and could still be smelled faintly under the osmanthus tree.
A large velvet blanket was spread in the Jin Yuan pavilion, and Meng Zhaocun lay on it. He was wearing a one-piece baby suit with his little feet caged inside, wearing a small tiger hat, his limbs waving in the air, his mouth from time to time emitting “ah ah” sound.
This sound was like heavenly music, warming Jiang Yishi’s heart.
Flower lying on the side of Cun’s younger brother looked at him with interest, and Jojo on top of his head was not idle, “Flower”, “Baby”, “Jia Ren” a mess of screaming.
The old man suddenly came to Jin Yuan, a face of anger.
Jiang Yishi stood up and asked, “What’s wrong with Grandfather?”
Little CunCun also sensed that his grandfather had arrived, and laughed out loud, his limbs dancing even more vigorously.
The old man ignored them and squatted down to tend to a pot of chrysanthemums in full bloom.
Little CunCun suddenly cried out, very loud, seemingly aggrieved.
Flower and Jojo are not happy that the old man ignored the deposit brother, one meowed loudly, one directly scolded “go home”.
The old master stood up and asked, “Why is Cun Cun crying?”
The old man also knows that this child is good to bring up, does not like to cry.
Jiang Yishi laughed and said, “CunCun was upset when he saw that Grandpa didn’t care about him.”
The old master hurriedly clapped his hands and walked into the pavilion, leaning down to pick CunCun up.
As soon as the child entered his arms, he really stopped howling and looked at him with big tearful eyes.
The old master’s heart budded, and said in a harmonious voice, “Little CunCun, don’t cry, Great Grandfather loves you.”
The angry look on his face was gone, and he teased his grandson with a smile on his face.
Hua Hua was a good child, never jealous of Cun Cun’s younger brother. Seeing that the old master liked his younger brother, he happily pulled at the old master’s pants leg and meowed.
The old man holding the child in the jin garden around, full of beautiful flowers, the wind with the fragrance of flowers, the milk doll “ah ah” sound from time to time, occasionally the old face with the tender little face next to each other, his mood to calm down.
The little guy made sleepy, yawning with his mouth open. The old man handed him over to Huang mother, Huang mother carried to the east courtyard to rest.
The old man returned to the pavilion, Jiang Yixi good tea served.
He took a sip before saying, “That brat went out again.”
The old man had previously only been willing to talk to Meng Zhimo about some things, but now he was also able to talk to his second son, second grandson, and fourth grandson. In their absence, he could only talk to Jiang Yishi, his granddaughter-in-law.
It turned out that Meng Ruyu had gone out drinking again.
Nowadays, Meng Ruyu would occasionally go out of the mansion, not to meet friends and see the scenery, but to go to a restaurant to drink. Once he even went to a brothel and was whipped a few times by the old master when he returned. Apolitical adultery and keeping a mistress is absolutely forbidden in the Meng family.
No matter how much the old man let him rebuild his confidence, Meng Zhuyu couldn’t listen to him, like the thin mud that couldn’t be picked up.
Although the old man is intent on letting him out, but every time he sees Meng Yu Yu drunk back, or angry.
The old man is not willing to give up on Meng Yu, hoping that after some things are taken care of, he will be able to get back on his feet in another land and live his life in peace.
“Alas, a child who was so good before, wasted, a pity. Unproductive thing, can’t take a little blow, why can’t he be stronger. Look at Resignation Mo, in the beginning it was much tougher than him, his own mother died and he was surrounded by enemies, but he had something to hold on to and grew into a real man. But he ……”
He was so angry that his beard was trembling.
In front of the old man, Jiang Yixi was unwilling to say anything right or wrong about Meng Zhiyu. She couldn’t say that he was bad, nor was she willing to say that he was good.
She silently listened to the old master’s counting, and when she saw that he had finished his tea, she refilled another cup.
At this time, Meng Shen hurriedly walked over and whispered, “Old Master, I heard reports that Zhao Hu went to the Fugu Restaurant where Third Master went.”
The old master snorted coldly and got up to go to the outer courtyard.
Fuju restaurant is two streets away from Cheng Guo Gong Fu, two-story small building, belongs to the capital city in the high level restaurant. At this time just at the end of the Shen Hour, the sky is not yet dark, outside has already picked up a few long strings of colorful lights.
A few lute-holding gorgeous women wandering around outside, looking for a target. There are also small boys selling snacks yelling loudly, weaving in and out of the guests.
Thank you md12, the floating weeds in the water reward, thank you relatives of the monthly ticket.
