Chapter 321: Thinking Big
Liu set a three-month deadline because she still held the last bit of expectation for that man. Not to expect him to treat himself, but to hope that he would have the limits that a grown man should have, and that he would be able to get along with him peacefully for the rest of his life.
Hopefully, Meng Daoming would honor his agreement. If this man couldn’t even endure three months, there was nothing to look forward to.
Even if she hit someone and got out of the way, it was not a life she was willing to live. Thinking of the little bit of luck she held before marrying in, she laughed mockingly, her nose a little sour. In her own life, she should not think about the kind of days where husband and wife are beautiful together.
Although the old Duke of Meng and Meng Ruimo have a promise, but the old Duke is already more than sixty years old, Meng Ruimo she does not dare to completely believe ……
At the beginning of Shen Hour, the dressed Liu walked out of the upper room to the east study.
She said very sagely, “Master, it’s time to go to Fu An Hall to accompany your father-in-law.”
Duke Cheng put the word book in his hand down on the table, didn’t even look at her, got up and walked out. But the afterglow still vaguely saw, so big a pile, face smeared like a monkey s butt …… He frowned in disgust, this is his daughter in law?
His eyes and can not help but emerge Qu’s beautiful and gentle face. If I had known today, I should have treated her well. If she was alive, how could he face this ugly and splashy Yan Lo woman, not only being laughed at, but also being a monk for three months.
And then thought of Jiaojiao s small appearance, and heaved a sigh ……
Liu also saw the dislike in Duke Cheng’s eyes and coldly grunted in her heart. Big steps to grab in front of the Duke of Cheng Guogong forward, he does not want to see, is to let him see.
Cheng Guogong was so angry that he glared at the broad and thick shoulders in front of him and cursed “shrew”. Really see the master as a soft rice cow Jun? If you can tolerate it,……, you can’t tolerate it.
Out of the main courtyard, Liu’s steps only pressed down, and Cheng Guogong peer, face of hostility is also gone.
The old couple is sitting in the side room on the Luohan bed waiting for them, the old lady’s knee is also lying on a black cat.
The two people bowed, Cheng Guogong sat next to the old Duke, Liu sat next to the old lady.
The cat kept staring at Liu.
Liu was puzzled and laughed, “Granny, why do I feel that Hua Hua is smiling at me?”
Cheng Guo Gong nose “hum”, disdain said, “silly ……, how can a cat laugh.”
The word “pussy” did not dare to say, the old master also knew what he wanted to say, sank his face.
Seeing the old master s threatening gaze, Duke Cheng hurriedly adjusted his expression, his heart depressed. He made himself look like a suspicious son-in-law, and that shrew looked like the family’s own daughter.
The shrew will also pretend, privately evil like Yan Luo mother-in-law, now a virtuous daughter-in-law Sun-like ……
The old lady laughed and said, “The flower of our house is the smartest, and it really can smile. When it smiles with you, it means it wants to be close to you.”
As soon as her words fell, Flower jumped to Liu’s lap and lay on it, amusing Liu.
The old lady said a few words about the family, and then said, “Jiang’s about to give birth, the family’s affairs you have to take over to manage ……”
Liu smiled, “According to reason, daughter-in-law should not be lazy, but the daughter-in-law is a big grin nature, the most is not good at housekeeping. My father often said, if I was born in the ordinary family, the family was I lost all not certain. My father and my mother still hope that after I marry in, I can get more mother-in-law coaching, mother-in-law don’t think I’m annoying …….”
Liu politely declined.
Meng Yue was an aunt, a guest, and everyone knew that her helping with the housekeeping was temporary.
And she herself was Mrs. Cheng Guo Gong, the mistress of this mansion. She also clearly knew that Duke Cheng didn’t treat her well, and that it was still impossible for her to give the Meng family a son, and that sooner or later, this mansion would be owned by Meng Ruimo and his wife, so why would she bother to go through the trouble of going to this extra trouble.
Moreover, the old lady wouldn’t really be willing to give her the right to manage the house.
Before coming to the capital, her parents had repeatedly told her that she was only the stepmother, and her stepson had already grown up. She had come to enjoy her blessings, regardless of anything else. Although Meng Ruimo is indifferent on the outside, he has the word “righteousness” in his vocabulary. If Meng Ruimo’s daughter-in-law is really as good as the old Duke of China said, then make good relations with them, and rely on them to retire in the future…….
This point Liu thought more transparent. The man can not rely on, why still rely on other people’s sons. Old age does not dare to think, they have endless silver, as long as they do not give her more trouble, let her live quietly, to fulfill the promise to let her into the ancestral tomb into the ancestral hall, that is, they have love and justice.
She glanced at Meng Daoming who was sitting across from her with a sunken face. Secretly grunting, the person who can truly find a good in-law for Xiu Xiu is definitely not this man, but the old Duke and Meng Zhimo couple.
Hearing Liu’s polite refusal, the old lady’s smile intensified. This daughter-in-law, looking rough and tumble, is not a luddite, not greedy.
The two mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law were talking with smiles on their faces, and the old Duke of State’s hands itched at the sight of his son begging for a beating. He could only get up and say, “Go, go play two games of chess.”
Back at the Floating Life Residence, Meng Rimo and Jiang Yishi noticed that the book Liu sent Xiao Cun Cun was the authentic work of the previous dynasty’s book saint Xia Daozi.
The Liu family was a family of military generals, and to be able to find this book as a meet-and-greet gift could be considered to be full of sincerity.
Meng Zhimo flipped through the book and said, “This First Mistress is not as rough as she appears. What she cares most about is embroidery, care more about that child ……”
Jiang Yishi laughed, “I’ll save it.”
She knew that having a good relationship with Liu was not just about family harmony, but also because of politics.
Meng Zhimo thought of that thing that he had thought of many times and asked quietly with a bad smile, “You said, did Duke and Mrs. Cheng that?”
After saying that, his face even reddened, feeling that it was not good to talk about such things about his old man. However, deep in his heart, he never respected Duke Cheng as his father.
Jiang Yishi said, “Duke Cheng likes beauty and has a high vision, I don’t think so.”
Meng Zhimo shook his head and said, “Madam has a bad temper, if Duke Cheng dared to ignore her, she wouldn’t be so good-tempered to put up with it, she would have fought long ago.”
Jiang Yishi thought of those two agreements and laughed, “The First Mistress may be wiser than what we see, and ultimately subdue Duke Cheng may not be certain.”
Meng Zhimo said, “If Duke Cheng can really be subdued by the First Mistress, it’s still his good fortune.”
Jiang Yishi thought deeply.
After getting up in the morning, Jiang Yishi sent someone to invite Niu Xiu and Huang Xin to come to Fusheng Residence to play.
Niu Xiu lived in a courtyard close to the Floating Life Residence, and came first, and sent Xiao Cun Cun a bottle of sweet jasmine lotus root perfumed dew, Hua Hua a packet of shrimp crisps, and actually brought a packet of milky pine nuts for little Jojo, who had never met her.
“I’ve heard of Jojo in Wu Cheng, I know that it’s especially good at reciting poems, and I also know that it’s a gift from Great General Zheng …… My mother’s most worshipped heroes are grandfather in the first place, and my grandfather and Great General Zheng in the second place.”
Jiang Yishi smiled and thanked them for them.
Huang Xin came and called Niu Xiu “little aunt”, shouting the little girl’s little face red, and sent her little niece a paddle embroidered by herself.
Niu embroidery than Huang Xin older than three years old, although the difference in generation, the female master of this house they are the most similar age, half a day the two played very well, talking to hold hands.
