Chapter 331 – The Goon

One day of autumn rain, one day of coolness, and it was the end of September.

The Qu family’s great-uncle’s son, Qu Xiu, and the Hu family’s great-uncle’s son, Hu Jiwen, have come to live in the Meng residence.

Jiang Yishi also just saw that Qu Xiu and Liu’s relationship is very good, which also means that the Qu family and the Wu family, who holds the military power of one side, have a very good relationship.

Then, the Ping Wang …… Wu family behind the Qu family should have long been the Ping Wang party. The reason for not hesitating to marry his daughter to the muddleheaded Duke Cheng is not only the relationship of Elder Meng, but also the reason of King Ping.

Marrying in Liu, no matter if she made too much trouble or not, the old Duke and Meng Rumo would not let her out based on politics.

And marrying this Liu into the family, the role is really very big, only one shelf completely wilted the Duke of Cheng.

The Duke of Cheng feels that he can’t stand it more than when Fu’s betrayal, Fu is already dead, it is impossible to betray him once again. Also than the old father beat him shame, the old father hit all the children and grandchildren, hit him again hard are normal.

But Liu, pulling his hair and scratching his face, but he could not beat him. The most infuriating thing is that the old father not only does not rest her, but also to help her. Every day by the daughter-in-law so beaten, spread the word he still how to be a man.

After that, Duke Cheng was much more honest on the surface, still getting along with Liu as before. Although he looked at Liu’s eyes full of hatred, he also had to regularly go to the main courtyard to live, and regularly competed with Liu in martial arts.

Even Meng Ruimo privately looked down on him even more, no matter how should be more tough a few days ah, or more beat a few times before softening ah.

He is really a “wimp”.

Meng Ruimo felt that not only did he look down on Duke Cheng, but even his grandfather looked down on him even more. Although the old man hoped that Liu would restrain him, but it was so easy to be stopped, the old man also liver pain.

There is also the old lady, for the first time, she felt that her son had no talent. The original scolded the son has no talent, that are angry words, now is truly feel so.

The old master talked to the old lady, said Liu’s so teach his son as if under a dose of medicine. Although difficult, but extremely useful. Also said that the reason why the son is like this, are the old lady before the vertical, not allowed to intervene again. Can not be harsh Liu, more can not be harsh cattle embroidery.

Although the old lady did not give Liu set the rules, but is not willing to answer her. Niu Xiu is still gentle, without any change.

Liu doesn’t matter, don’t talk to herself less, as long as her daughter is good, everything is good.

Meng Ruimo more than once with Jiang Yishi said, “If there is no my grandfather, Cheng Guogong is only worthy of using silver to donate an official, but also what a great officer.”

Hu Jiwen did not live in his nephew’s home Jiang House, is Jiang Yishi Lord invited him to live here.

One is Jiang Xun fast down the examination, can not distract his energy. One is that Qu Xiu with Hu Jiwen, are going to participate in the next year’s spring exams, the two together is conducive to the discussion of coursework and cultivate feelings.

Now Jiang Xun has not gone to the Beijing martial arts hall, at home to study at ease. Jiang Yishi would send someone to send him tonic soup every two days to condition his body. Occasionally, Jiang Xun would also come to the Jiang residence to consult with Elder Duke Meng, not only for advice on strategy, but also to practice riding and shooting at the Cheng Duke’s residence stable.

On this day, the autumn rain was steady, the autumn wind was rustling, and the cherry blossoms were colorful in the Floating Life Residence.

Jiang Yishi sat on the kang, watching Cun Cun shaking his rattle and teasing his sister, and the sound of chirping love poems coming in from time to time from the porch.

This morning, Jiang Xun came again, the old man and Meng Zhimo went to the outer courtyard. He also said that he would let the Floating Life Residence kitchen prepare some dishes for drinking and send them to the outer courtyard, and the men would drink in the outer courtyard.

Shui Zhu was a good cook, and the old master had especially enjoyed her dishes before. Now that Sister Wei, the steward of Fu An Tang’s small kitchen, had been kicked out of the house, the new steward’s cooking skills were not very pleasing to the old master.

Almost every day he goes to the Jin Garden to tend to the flowers and plants, then to the Fuxing Residence to see the two children, and then stays for the midday meal. Meng Zhimo is not at home, the old master will eat in the compartment accompanied by small Cun Cun. Of course, there will be an extra nurse who will feed him.

The old master will also let Shui Zhu cook two kinds of dishes to treat the guests when they come to the mansion.

With a cat’s purr, Hua Hua walked into the east side of the house from under the soft curtain.

It took an elegant cat step, its tail rising up to the sky, its eyes glaring round, and its neck held high.

It was not happy.

Ever since Jiang Yishi gave birth to Meng Yin’er, as long as Meng Zhimo came back to live it was unhappy.

Because Meng Boss didn’t come back, it could sleep next to its mother as it wished, and how cozy it was to sleep in the smell of milk. But once Boss Meng came back, it would be driven to sleep in the compartment.

It was very unhappy and had to show it.

Jiang Yishi pretended not to see it. It was like this for a while after the initial survival deposit, and it would get used to it after a while.

She laughed, “Come look, sister is stirring her legs again.”

Hua Hua loved to see her sister stirring her legs and shaking her arms, so she didn’t get angry and jumped onto the bed, looking at Meng Yin’er as she meowed.

Two strings of clogs came from far and near, and they took off their clogs in front of the door of the main room and walked into the house.

Cun Cun had already heard their voices and clapped her hands and laughed, “Auntie Xiu and cousin sister are here.”

Niu Xiu and Huang Xin greeted Jiang Yishi and took off their embroidered shoes to sit on the bed.

Huang Xin laughed, “Auntie, we’ll eat here for lunch.”

Jiang Yishi laughed, “Good, have someone make your favorite osmanthus sweet cake.”

As she was talking, the little girl came to report, “Eldest grandmother, Eldest Miss Zheng is here.”

Jiang Yishi got off the bed to welcome her out of the side room.

Zheng Tingting walked in and smiled, “Sister-in-law, tomorrow my elder brother is off duty and wants to go to Zhaomingan to see the treasures, see what you have to bring her.”

She missed Jiang Yishi and used this excuse to come over to play.

Jiang Yishi had only gone to see Li Zhenbao five days ago, so they wouldn’t go together tomorrow. Laughing, she said, “Yes, I’ll have someone send it to your residence tomorrow morning.”

After watching a few children, the two went to the west side of the house to sit on the beauty spoils to drink tea and laugh.

Opposite them is the south window, the small window is half open, just enough to see a corner of the courtyard.

The courtyard door was half hidden, most of the leaves of the trees had already withered and yellowed, shivering in the autumn rain, and a few leaves floated down with the wind ……

Zheng Tingting sighed and said quietly, “My big brother might be transferring to the Fifth Regiment Battalion.”

The errands in the imperial army were easy and decent, while the fifth regiment battalion was much more tiring to practice, and they couldn’t go home often.

Jiang Yishi was puzzled, “Your mother is willing?”

Zheng Tingting said, “Of course my mother is unwilling, but my grandfather and my father are willing, so she can’t do anything about it.” Her voice lowered, “It seems like my father received a letter from Uncle Ji and made this decision. He said that the five regiment camp is the only way to learn real skills, and that he would learn the skills and go to Xiqing in the future. When my mother found out, she cried for days.”

The bright little girl also had a few sorrowful moments, her brows knitting lightly.

Jiang Yishi surprised, “Your mother let your brother back to the capital in the first place, is not to let him come back to marry his daughter-in-law. The daughter-in-law hasn’t even shown up yet, and then let him go out?”

Li Zhenbao hasn’t chased Zheng Yu to his hand, let him go to Xiqing, then what else to chase? Jiang Yishi was worried for Li Zhenbao.

I don’t know why Zheng Ji must let Zheng Yu go to Xiqing. Meng Zhimo must have known, but didn’t tell her.
