Chapter 288 – Zheng Ji Returns to the Capital

Back at the Floating Life Residence, Jiang Yishi opened the brocade box, which contained a pair of superb red Fei bracelets, bright and colorful, delicate and translucent.

Jiang Yishi remembered that the Grand Princess often wore these bracelets.

A personal item and precious, Grand Princess Yichang was showing herself how much she valued herself, right?

Jiang Yishi skimmed her mouth for a moment and picked up the gift list again to look at the jewelry ornaments, which were more than a thousand taels of silver.

She said to Sister Wu, “Put these things in the treasury.”

On the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Yishi went to Grand Princess Yichang’s residence again.

She was supposed to go to the clinic tomorrow, but after receiving the news a few days ago that Zheng Ji and Meng Zhi Xue returned to the capital on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, Jiang Yishi sent a letter to the Grand Princess yesterday, saying that she would have a temporary appointment tomorrow, and that she would go to the clinic today.

Jiang Yishi knew that meeting with Zheng Ji could not be avoided, she just instinctively wanted to delay.

The Grand Princess thought that Jiang Yishi knew better than to come and treat her during her own family reunion.

She pulled Jiang Yishi’s hand and laughed, “This child of yours, thinking is just too …… much.”

Again, she began to read and talk about Zheng Ji.

Jiang Yishi didn’t want to listen, she had already said these words several times, yet she was too embarrassed to interrupt her.

In the end, it was Zheng Tingting who laughed and said, “Uncle Grandmother, Sister-in-law Meng is waiting to finish giving you the needles. After she finishes applying the needles, you can speak again.”

The Grand Princess was made to laugh.

The idlers retreated, and Jiang Yishi began to wash her eyes with eye needles ……

A quarter of an hour or so later, there was one more person outside the house silently watching the Grand Princess and her.

Zheng Ji had returned.

He traveled day and night, and came back a day early.

For fear of affecting Jiang Yishi’s “eye needle”, Zheng Ji came back to the crowd did not dare to make a little noise.

Zheng Ji kowtowed to the emperor’s son-in-law in the hall room, and then went to the side room to look inside.

At the end of one layer of curtains, on the gold and jade bed, an old lady was lying on the bed, and only the hair below her chest and above her forehead could be seen.

A young daughter-in-law was in front of her, her head lowered as she administered needles.

Walking from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, Zheng Ji had already heard the steward roughly talk about the Grand Princess’s condition. The one who diagnosed her was Meng Shimo’s daughter-in-law, Jiang, Meng Great Grandma got the inheritance from Master Yu He, and also used a strange medicine, the Grand Princess’s eye disease has been greatly improved, and she can see people ……

Meng Ruimo’s daughter-in-law, is not Jiang Yishi! She is the daughter-in-law of Ming Ya and Jiang Chen, she actually has that ability!

Looking at the figure behind her, she really does look a bit like Ming Ya from years ago ……

Jiang Yishi’s ears were unusually sensitive. She had already heard the movement in the hall house and knew that Zheng Ji had returned at this time.

She forced her heart to hold back her emotions and finished the “eye needle” for the Grand Princess, and then applied the general needling. She did not look back, quietly looking at the Grand Princess.

When the last silver needle was removed, Zheng Ji walked into the bedroom and knelt down in front of the Grand Princess’ bed.

“Mother, son is back.”

The Grand Princess opened her eyes and cried as she took Zheng Ji into her arms.

Everyone in the room only paid attention to the mother and son, the women following them in tears, no one noticed Jiang Yishi silently exiting the bedroom and taking the two maids with her.

Jiang Yishi didn’t give Zheng Ji more than a glance, her eyes drifting off to see that it was a man of tall stature.

She came to the outside of the hanging flower gate and looked up at the sky, the sky was clear and the winter sun was bright.

She pulled the corner of her mouth and smiled.

What happened in that room had nothing to do with her, the world was so beautiful, why let other people’s business affect her mood?

Although her parents had died early, she still had a loving husband, a lovely son, an understanding brother, and was about to welcome another child ……

Returning to the Floating Life Residence, Sister Wu smiled and said, “The second master is back, the masters are all having their midday meal at Fu An Hall, and they haven’t dispersed yet.”

Jiang Yishi didn’t want to go over to join in the fun, simply ate a little bit of rice, and went to bed to rest.

When she woke up, she saw Meng Zhimo sitting on the edge of the bed looking at her.

Jiang Yishi thought she was dreaming, Meng Jimo had already attached himself and kissed her on the cheek.

Jiang Yishi was pleasantly surprised that she wasn’t dreaming.

He must have heard that Zheng Ji was returning to the capital today and was afraid that he would be sad, so he specially came back to accompany himself.

Jiang Yishi stretched out her arms around his neck and asked knowingly, “Why did you come back?”

Meng Zhimo’s head buried to her chest again, smothering a smile, “Wanted my daughter-in-law, so I came back.”

Jiang Yishi’s hand wandered over his cheeks and head, murmuring, “I also want you, I want to be tight ……”

The two of them made out for a while before Jiang Yishi said, “That person came back.”

“Did you guys talk?”

“No.”

“Don’t think too much, since you don’t want to recognize him, just think of him as my grandfather’s disciple, my upper peak.”

“Hm.”

At the end of Shen Hour, the two went to Fu An Hall.

In addition to the second lord of the upper court and Meng Zhaoyan, Meng Zhiyu, all the masters were there, even the second madam and Meng Hua, who hadn’t seen them for many days, were here.

Meng Zhaoyan leaned at his father’s feet, pursed his lips and was happy.

Jiang Yishi greeted the second lady “second aunt”, the second lady only pulled the corner of her mouth, Jiang Yishi did not realize.

See Meng Ruimo, the old lady happy, but still wondered, “How come back today?”

Meng Zhimo said, “Something went to the Ministry of War.”

Seeing his father who hadn’t seen him for days, the little CunCun who was lying on the kang and chewing on his feet turned over at once and crawled towards the side of the kang, grinning happily with a string of silver threads falling from the corners of his mouth.

Meng Zhimo went over and took him into his arms, smiling at Meng Zhiye, “Second brother has worked hard.”

The old master greatly praised Meng Zhi Xue again, saying that he was able to endure hardship, had a sense of responsibility, and put the family first in everything.

Meng Hua got up and bowed his knees to thank Meng Zhi Xue, “Thank you, second brother.”

After not seeing him for a few days, Meng Hua had not only changed his personality, but also seemed to have changed his appearance. He was very thin and appeared to have a smaller square face, but there were two more points of cleanliness.

The old man was very satisfied with Meng Hua’s changes, knowing the times, being brave, being able to face up to all the unpleasantness, knowing to plan and prepare for the future life. And as a man, Meng Zhui Yu, until now, did not have the courage to appear in front of people.

After the meal, several men went to the outer courtyard to deliberate again.

In the residence of the Grand Princess of Yichang, all the people ate the reception banquet and went to accompany the Grand Princess to talk and laugh.

At the eleventh hour, Zheng Shaobao brought his own family back to the residence, even Zheng Tingting went back with him.

Only the eldest princess, Zheng extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, Zheng Ji, He’s left in the house, the atmosphere immediately awkward.

Zheng Ji took a look at He, who was so nervous that her body was shaking a bit, and turned his gaze elsewhere, then turned to her and said in a harmonious voice, “I have to attend to my illness during the night, so you can go back and rest.”

The Grand Princess especially wanted to say, “I don’t need to attend to my illness, you go back to accompany your daughter-in-law,” but in the end didn’t dare to say it. She was afraid that her son would go to the outer courtyard like before, and would not be able to stay at home for more than a few days before fleeing.

The old wife and son are both strong, before Zheng old extra horse harnessed by the side of the emperor’s team did the most is to be a peacemaker between the two.

The Grand Princess didn’t dare to let her son accompany her daughter-in-law, and Zheng’s old extra horse harnessed by the side of a team didn’t dare to say anything. To He, he said, “You’re not well, go back and rest, come back tomorrow.”
