Chapter 305 – Blind Date
Li Zhenbao welled up with tears and had to leave as well.
Jiang Yishi escorted her to the courtyard gate and watched the small sedan chair get farther and farther away. Hua Hua continued to send Li Zhen Bao back to the Zen garden, and it went into the mountains to play for a day and a night.
There was a lot of cooking to do, Jiang Yishi had someone fill two food boxes, and she slowly walked to Meng’s house with a few underlings.
The old master and Meng Yue’s mother and daughter were having their midday meal, so Jiang Yishi went over to eat with them.
Hearing about Li Zhenbao’s current situation, the old master also sighed.
After the meal, the old man took the three of them to the river near the manor house.
In March, the grass grew and warblers flew, and the green hills and water made the scenery here breathtakingly beautiful.
Huang Xin happily picked beautiful wildflowers in the grass, and the old master and Jiang Yishi enjoyed the scenery with interest. Only Meng Yue seemed to have seen nothing, her eyes were mute, she stood down when others stood down, she followed when others walked.
She really looks like a widow with a heart like still water.
Not to mention Jiang Yishi, is the old man straight shake his head, do not know that thing she will not agree.
Early the next morning, Grandma Wu and the others went to town to buy meat and vegetables.
In the morning, the Old Grand Duke and Meng Yue went to Zhaoming Nunnery to offer incense, and then they would go to Huzhuang to have lunch.
In the kitchen, Jiang Yishi personally made three of the old man’s favorite dishes.
At the beginning of the afternoon, the three old masters came to Huzhuang surrounded by a few subordinates.
The old master smiled and asked, “Do you have any wrapped pot meat, crispy fish, or marinated elbow?”
He hadn’t eaten a lot of these dishes in the mansion, but he felt that his granddaughter-in-law’s handmade dishes were delicious, and the ones made in Huzhuang were the best.
Jiang Yishi laughed, “Knowing that grandfather likes those kinds, I made them all.”
The old man was diligent, and as soon as he arrived, he took a small bench and sat in the courtyard to tend to the flowers and plants, with Meng Yue helping out at the side.
Meng Yue did not dress up much, slightly powdered, wearing blue brocade dark flower pasted, blue horse face skirt. She wore a bun with two jade hairpins.
The pasties made slightly fat, more show the figure slightly plump.
She is twenty-seven years old this year, but dresses up to thirty-seven years old.
Even so, she was a rare beauty.
Jiang Yishi continued to go into the kitchen to watch the cooking, Huang Xin also followed. As long as Jiang Yishi was there, the little nymph would stick to her.
Huang Xin chattered about going to Zhaomingan to worship the Bodhisattva. She also said that Prince Yong and King Wen and Li Jiao also went, and she kowtowed to the Goddess of Mercy together with Li Jiao. ……
Jiang Yishi secretly grunted, King Wen is now in nine out of ten places to beat the gong, actually ran to Zhaoming nunnery to beg for suspicion.
Two quarters of an hour later, Meng Zhimo led a young general. They went to find the county’s guard Wang on an errand, and took a detour to come here for the midday meal.
This man is a fifth grade military officer of the fifth regiment battalion, called Ouyang Shi, twenty-five years old this year, his daughter-in-law died giving birth to a child with two bodies. Father is a third-ranking military officer, in the Jiaodong generation, mother and the rest of the family are in the father’s office.
The family is simple, married to their own single life, the key is the fate of the future are in the hands of Meng Ruimo.
Meng Ruimo also want to find Meng Yue a family of the right family, the character and appearance of the equivalent of the latter. However, Meng Yue’s family is so complicated that she is afraid to marry into it. Meng Yue’s talent and appearance can be matched with a young man, but also afraid of Meng Yue’s heart eyes can not play the others to suffer losses and be fooled. After looking around for a long time, they felt that Ouyang Shi was the most suitable for her.
The Duke and Jiang Yishi heard the conditions and thought it was quite good, Meng Yue is suitable to marry this kind of person.
The hanging flower door was left open, and Ouyang Shi caught a glimpse of Elder Duke Meng and a beautiful beauty in the inner courtyard.
Meng Zhimo deliberately froze for a moment and smiled at the inside, “Grandfather, big sister, you guys are here too?”
Ouyang Shi reddened, feeling that he shouldn’t look at the ladies of other people’s families, or the governor’s family. He hurriedly turned his face to the side.
He had long heard that General Meng’s sister was the top of the Four Beauties of the Capital when she was young, but he didn’t expect that she would still be so beautiful at this time.
Jiang Yishi walked out of the kitchen, pretending to be surprised and said, “Why did Grand Master come over.”
Huang Xin runs out and laughs, “Great Uncle, Grandfather took my mother and I to Zhaoming Nunnery and came here to eat Great Auntie’s Bao Pan Pork.”
With an outside male, Meng Yue went into the upper room.
Meng Zhimo laughed, “General Ouyang and I went on an errand and passed by. Get more wine and food, let’s have a few drinks.”
Ouyang shi bowed with Jiang Yishi again with his fists and said, “Young Lady Meng, excuse me.”
The manor was too small for guests to be entertained in the outer courtyard, so Meng Zhimo brought Ouyang Shi into the hanging flower gate.
Ouyang Shi again clasped his fists and bowed to the old Grand Master, “My humble servant has met the old Grand Master.”
The old master looked Ouyang Shi up and down. He was very tall, about the same as Meng Zhimo, and a bit stronger. Wheat-colored skin, good looks, and a measured demeanor.
Although the talent was good, it was still a far cry from the fairy-like eldest granddaughter.
However, if the character and temper are good, it will be fine.
Thinking of the way King Wen looked at Meng Yue, the old man was furious. Meng Yue was not the type that King Wen liked, he must be thinking something bad.
That most feckless prince suddenly changed, acting strangely, not following common sense, making people puzzled ……
The work under the old man’s hands didn’t stop, pointing to a stool to the side, “Sit and talk.”
General Meng treating him differently already made Ouyang Shi elated, the fact that Elder Master Meng was still this polite made him even more overjoyed.
He bowed and smiled, “Thank you, Elder Eunuch.”
Meng Xuemo and Ouyang Shi sat next to the old master and watched him tending to the flowers.
Shui Ling brought over a small table and Mei Xiang poured tea.
Jiang Yishi also entered the upper room and stood by the small window to look out.
She turned back to Meng Yue, who was sitting on the Luohan bed, and said, “Why do I feel that Grand Master has lost weight?”
Meng Yue got up and walked over, glanced outside, and whispered, “No, it’s still the same.”
Jiang Yi shi added, “Perhaps that General Ouyang shi is a bit stouter and appears to have lost weight.”
Meng Yue glanced at Ouyang Shi. Feeling that she shouldn’t peek at the outer male, she wanted to pull Jiang Yishi away from the window.
Jiang Yishi’s feet didn’t move, “Big Sister said that the peony pot bloomed well, so I’ll give it to you, and Big Sister will take it back to the mansion to raise it.”
Meng Yue looked at the small window again, the peony had just begun to bud, but the stems and leaves were robust, and a dozen flowers were blooming at the same time. She had just complimented it a few times, and her younger siblings took it to heart.
Meng Yue smiled and bent her eyes, “Thank you, sister-in-law, I’ll make two more garments for my little nephew.”
Ouyang Shi and Meng Ruimo were sitting behind the pot of peonies, looking at the flowers while also glancing at the two men for a few moments.
In the beautiful flowers, Meng Ruimo was noble and handsome, and the scenery was beautiful, which made Ouyang Shi look ordinary and plain.
Wine and food set up, the three men went to the east room to eat and drink, Jiang Yishi several people in the upper room to eat.
When the wine and food were full, Meng Zhimo took Ouyang Shi away.
As soon as they left, the old master came into the courtyard. He gave Jiang Yishi, who was standing by the window, a wink, meaning that he thought the scion was good and asked Jiang Yishi to talk to Meng Yue.
After a drink, the old master was satisfied with Ouyang Shi, steady, gentle, very suitable for the honest and mute eldest granddaughter.
