Chapter 32 – So Much Reliance
That smile made Jiang Yishi’s mood brighten up, bright as the flowers in the courtyard. Unexpectedly, the cold Meng Zhimo could smile so brightly, and smile so beautifully.
Jiang Yishi’s face burned, and she busily pulled the topic elsewhere, ”I gave the brocade chicken that my old master gave me to Li Qi. Oh, that’s Li Kai’s son, Little Qi. Yesterday, Sheriff Zhen Bao brought him to my house to visit me.”
Meng Zhimo said, “You’re familiar with Princess Zhenbao? The Prince of Yong goes to Zhaoming Nunnery and occasionally comes to Meng’s house to play chess with my grandfather, who also went to Zhaoming Nunnery to meet the Prince of Yong. My grandfather also went to the Zhaoming nunnery to meet with the Prince of Yong. My grandfather said that the Princess Zhenbao was very interesting and that the Prince of Yong was more afraid of her than of the Empress Dowager.”
Jiang Yishi told about the time she corrected Li Zhenbao’s eyes, and also told a few interesting stories about Li Zhenbao.
“Countess Zhenbao is not well, but she is lucky. Aside from her physical confinement, she can do everything as she pleases, and Prince Yong and Prince Yong’s son favor her so much.”
Speaking of that living treasure, the atmosphere in the room lightened up.
Meng Zhimo said, “Not only them, the Emperor and Empress Dowager also favored County Precious Owner to the point of being tight. There is a reason for this ……”
When Li Zhenbao’s mother, Princess Xianyong, was seven months pregnant with her, she took a walk with the Empress Dowager in the Imperial Garden. While passing by a rockery, the rockery suddenly collapsed and fell down, and the first Yong Wangfei pushed the Empress Dowager in front of her, while she was crushed underneath by a boulder. She was crushed by a boulder and died after giving birth to Li Zhenbao with one breath left.
Li Zhenbao was born prematurely, the body has not been good, several times life-threatening. The imperial physician and the doctor could not cure her, but she was saved only by the monk Yu He, a senior monk of the Temple of the State of Retribution. Yu and the master also said, she must become a monk after three years old in order to live ……
Empress Dowager is grateful to the first Yong Wangfei sacrificed her life to save herself, and pity Li Zhenbao was born prematurely in poor health, just born without mother, very favor her. The emperor is also the same, their love for Li Zhenbao even more than the princess.
Prince Yong seven sons only this one daughter, daughter’s mother and saved his own mother, on Li Zhenbao since the favor of the boundless ……
Listened to the words of Meng Ruimo, Jiang Yishi realized that Li Zhenbao has so much to rely on, no wonder after entering the capital Li Zhenbao want to how wantonly how wantonly.
Jiang Yishi also realized that Meng Ruimo can be so talkative and his voice is so nice. Moreover, he was not cold at all today, completely different from her previous perception of him.
When she saw the smile in his eyes, instead of the helplessness and coldness before, Jiang Yishi was in a great mood.
It was already two minutes past noon after the acupuncture.
Jiang Yishi wanted to keep Meng Zhimo for lunch, but felt it was too presumptuous. Let’s wait, when we are familiar with each other, then we can invite Master Husband here. ……
She sent Meng Zhimo and the two of them to the entrance of the hanging flower gate and watched the oxcart disappear outside the courtyard gate.
The corners of Meng Ruimo’s mouth couldn’t help but hook up again as he sat on the car. Spending time with Miss Jiang was a pleasant thing.
After they left, Sister Wu laughed and said, “The Meng family sent four wild rabbits and half a deer, saying that the old master brought people into the mountains to hunt them.”
Jiang Yishi said, “Marinate half of the venison and wait for Xun’er to come over to eat it.”
On the twenty-eighth morning, Meng Zhimo came over again to be cured.
Meng Lianshan supported him, and Meng Qingshan held a pot of peonies in his hand. Pale pink petals, yellow stamens, large flowers, a dozen or so in bloom, and a fresh fragrance.
Jiang Yishi knew that this pot of peony was called “Child’s Face” and was very precious. That day, Elder Meng specifically pointed to this pot of flowers and introduced it.
Meng Zimo laughed, “This is a gift from my grandfather to Miss Jiang.”
Jiang Yishi was somewhat flattered, “Grandfather Meng is so rare but gave it to me, how can I be so kind.”
Shui Ling took the flower pot and put it outside the window of the main room.
Jiang Yishi and Meng Zhimo felt much more familiar with each other after their previous conversation. The two would occasionally say a few words, even if it was silent it was not as awkward as before.
Meng Ruimo also invited Jiang Xun and Jiang Yishi to play at Meng’s house tomorrow, saying that he had also invited the Third Master Jiang.
April is a small month, the twenty-ninth is the last day, Jiang Xun is off from bathing. He would come to the Huzhuang in the middle of the day and return to the capital in the middle of the day tomorrow. The reason for inviting Third Master Jiang was supposedly to let Third Master Jiang see how much the Meng family valued Jiang Yishi’s siblings and let him take care of them more.
Jiang Yishi happily accepted the invitation. She also said, “Some other day, I’ll invite Elder Duke and Big Brother Meng to come to the Huzhuang for dinner.”
Meng Zhimo also accepted the invitation very cheerfully, “Good.”
Jiang Xun rushed to the manor after dark with Qin Mama.
His face was very unsightly.
“What’s wrong with you, someone bullied you?” Jiang Yishi asked.
Jiang Xun gasped, “That marriage of Jiang Yiyan’s didn’t work out, and she actually made up a story about her sister’s faults. She said that because you dragged a man to jump into the lake and tarnished the reputation of the Jiang family, people don’t see the Jiang family girls. She was crying and scolding you at home today, I was so angry that I ran over to argue with her.”
Qin mom also said, “The third girl’s style is also too much for people to see. The marriage did not say achievement should be smothered, but also have the nerve to make a scene. The old lady sent someone to reprimand the third girl.”
Jiang Yishi laughed coldly and didn’t say anything.
In her previous life, Jiang Yiyan was unable to achieve anything, and she married off at the age of nineteen. Jiang Xun came to visit Jiang Yishi at the nunnery and said this, saying that the man did come from a high family, but he was a man and a woman who ate both men and women. The girl’s family are not willing to let their daughters marry over, but Jiang YiYan desperately want to marry, she is interested in the marquis young grandma’s name. Mr. and Mrs. Jiang also hope to revitalize the family business through this in-laws …….
That was also the last time Jiang Xun came to visit Jiang Yiyan to say something.
Thinking of the past, Jiang Yishi painfully hugged Jiang Xun and wiped the beads of sweat on his face with a handkerchief, causing Jiang Xun to blush.
Jiang Yishi instructed, ”She loves to say what she says, younger brother needn’t generalize with stupid people. You are alone in the house to say less and see more, when things happen, listen to more Qin mother’s advice, do not let people use underhanded tricks to fix you ……”
Jiang Xun said, “I’m a man, so I’ll take some losses. Sister is a little lady, don’t get into other people’s way in the future.”
The next morning, Jiang Third Master rushed directly from the military camp to the Huzhuang. He didn’t return to the capital yesterday because he was going to be a guest at Meng’s estate.
When he heard about Jiang Yiyan’s behavior, he also frowned. It wasn’t good to say anything about Uncle Jiang, and blamed the eldest Mrs. Jiang.
“Sister-in-law has spoiled Yiyan girl, indulging her in not knowing what’s good for her and not knowing shame. I’ll have to go home and remind Zhuo Yaotou to interact less with her in the future. Also have to talk to my mother, teach Yan yatou more ……”
Hearing that the famous flowers in the courtyard and the rare triangular flowers were sent by Meng Jiaoshan, Third Master Jiang was even more impressed with Jiang Yishi. The old Duke of Meng loved flowers, and was generous with everything else but being stingy with flowers. To send the Huzhuang so many flowers at once, it could be seen how much the old man remembered Jiang Chen’s love.
His heart was happy. I hope to make good relations with the Meng family, his career further. Yesterday, when he got the old master’s post, a few of his superiors were envious.
