Chapter 353: Each in Peace
In the evening, Jiang Yishi told Meng Zhimo about this.
Meng Ruimo said thoughtfully, ”The Zheng family should know. Zheng Yu has also asked me to go to Huzhuang tomorrow, he is probably talking about this matter. Alas, I’m afraid Xun’s wish will be dashed.”
Jiang Yishi sighed and didn’t sleep well for the rest of the night.
The next day after breakfast, Meng Zhimo and Jiang Yishi took Little Cun Cun and Hua Hua to Hu Zhuang. This time, they let also Shui Zhu go and make food for Li Zhen Bao. She left early with the ingredients and flowers, leaving the city as soon as the city gates opened.
Arrived at the manor at the beginning of the afternoon.
Kitchen chimneys smoking cooking smoke, not yet entered the courtyard to smell a strong fragrance.
It was the first time for Little CunCun to go to the countryside, and he was surprised to see a large expanse of good land and cows tethered by the door to graze.
“Cows and cows, wheat, saplings …….”
Jiang Yishi had drawn him a picture of what wheat looked like, so he could see the wheat that had already drawn ears. The oilseed rape that hadn’t blossomed and the other seedlings were unrecognizable and were said to be saplings.
Meng Rimo smiled and took him into his arms, explaining what was what.
Farming was a big plan, and Meng Ruimo was willing to have his son interested in crops.
Jiang Yishi went into the kitchen to look around before going to the inner courtyard to rest.
The spring colors filled the garden with fragrance.
This place is much smaller than the Garden of Brocade, and there are far fewer rare flowers, but Jiang Yishi especially likes this place, feeling that it is more vibrant than the Garden of Brocade, and blends in with nature.
She has thought well, when Jiang Xun daughter-in-law, this manor is written in his name. In the future, when she comes to the countryside, she can live here, or she can live in Meng’s manor. Mengjiazhuang is Meng Rumo’s private property.
She sat on the porch to rest, and not long after, saw Meng Zhaocun stumbling into the outer courtyard, led by Meng Rumo.
He heard the sheep barking and yelled, “Niu Niu, Cat Cat …….”
He had heard cat calls and cow calls, but hadn’t heard cow calls yet.
Sister Wu smiled and picked him up, going behind the screen door to see the sheep. The one sheep from before had turned into five sheep, Jiang Yixi was not allowed to kill them, in fact it was Hua Hua who was not allowed to kill them, and kept them all the time.
Not long after, they heard noises outside, and Watercress, who was guarding the doorway, said in a loud voice, “Great Grandmother, Little Master Diet is here.”
Jiang Yi shi led little Cun Cun to welcome out the door.
Li Zhenbao actually came walking, surrounded by a few maids and a few guards.
She was too far away to see her appearance, but only saw that she was wearing a green dress and her footsteps were quite strong.
Li Zhenbao also saw them, stretched out her arms and shouted, “Sister, Cun Cun ……”
She was so excited that she wanted to run, but was persuaded by Sister Chai at the side.
Cun Cun shouted, “Aunt Bao, miss you ……”
The tender childish voice echoed between heaven and earth.
He had long forgotten what Li Zhenbao looked like. The reason why he remembered that there was such a person was because Jiang Yishi often mentioned it in front of him.
Jiang Yishi picked up Cun Cun and greeted him.
Li Zhenbao had gained weight and grown a little taller. The sunlight gave her a layer of golden light, eyes curved full of joy, really bright and charming little girl.
Jiang Yishi handed the little CunCun to her nurse, pulled Li ZhenBao with both hands and smiled, “Little ZhenBao, you’re really well, congratulations.”
Li Zhen Bao chimed in with an even warmer response, wrapping her hands around Jiang Yishi’s waist and laughing, “Sister, thank you, thank you Hua Hua.”
The two laughed, but both shed tears.
A voice came, “Good things cry too.”
It was Zheng Yu, who had only just returned from practicing in the battalion, still wearing his armor, riding on his horse and looking at them and laughing.
The silver armor was glowing with golden light, and the golden light reflected on his face, making the brilliant smile even brighter, and softening the slightly hard features a bit.
Li Zhenbao’s eyes were unblinking as she watched him smile, her mouth whispering in Jiang Yishi’s ear, “Am I right, brother Zheng is much more handsome than brother-in-law Meng.”
Jiang Yishi couldn’t help but cry and laugh, there was no reason for her to lift one and step on another like this.
Jiang Yishi ignored her and smiled at Zheng Yu, “General Zheng, my grandpa is waiting for you at the manor.”
Zheng Yu let out an “oh” and looked at Jiang Yishi with a more critical gaze.
Li Zhenbao hugged CunCun and kissed him a few times, then asked, “Where is my life-saving cat?”
“Went to the mountains to play, came back to see you in the evening.”
Several people returned to Huzhuang, none of them wanted to enter the house, sitting under the tree and joking.
When the meal was ready, the maids brought the dishes towards the upper room and the east wing.
Li Zhenbao wondered, “We’re all so familiar, why don’t we eat together?”
Jiang Yishi said, “They want to drink and eat slowly.”
Seeing a table of food she loved, Li Zhenbao smiled and bent her eyes. Although she still couldn’t eat to her heart’s content, it was much better than before, and Silent Cang presided over the approval for her to be able to eat a bowl.
Jiang Yishi asked, “How was it, did you pick a fight with your brother Zheng?”
Li Zhenbao beamed, “My sister, I’m still a little nun now, you can’t instigate me to break the commandments.”
Her mouth was saying this, but her expression was sweet and cloying, itching to let everyone know that her relationship with Zheng Yu was not ordinary.
Jiang Yishi nudged her little head, “Still using me to abet, what a backhanded way of saying it.”
Seeing her like this, Jiang Yishi regretted Jiang Xun and Zheng Tingting even more in her heart.
She glanced out the window.
The sun was shining brightly and scorchingly. The door to the east was closed at some point, the small window only gaping a crack. So mysterious, it must be talking about that, right?
What to say, she has already discussed with Meng Zhimo.
In the east room, Zheng Yu closed the door and window. He didn’t move his chopsticks and only drank a glass of wine before looking meaningfully at Meng Zhimo.
Meng Zhimo had already guessed what he was going to say and didn’t look at him, drinking and eating his own food.
After the two were silent for a while, Zheng Yu tentatively asked, “Do you know about that incident?”
Meng Zhimo didn’t look up, “What is it?”
“That is, the matter that you and I might be relatives.”
Meng Zhimo put down his chopsticks and looked up, “What do you want to say?”
Zheng Yu pondered for a moment, pursed her lips, and said, “Sister-in-law, perhaps she’s family with us.”
Meng Zhimo wiped his mouth with a paddle and said solemnly, “You’re talking about what happened between Uncle Ji and my mother-in-law before, right?”
Zheng Yu’s eyes narrowed, “You really know?”
“I only know that Uncle Ji met my mother in law when he was young, and then each of them married their own wives and didn’t bother …… each other,” Meng Zhimo drank the wine in his cup and added, “From then on, Xiaolang was a passerby.”
“But, sister-in-law looks like our Zheng family ……”
“That’s a coincidence.”
“Definitely not a coincidence, we have checked ……”
“General Zheng, some irresponsible nonsense not only affects the reputation of the dead, but also affects the lives of the living. Be careful.”
Zheng Yu looked at the incomparably serious Meng Zhimo. He knew that this matter was known to both Meng Ruimo and Jiang Yishi, but they only recognized that Zheng Ji had once fallen in love with Hu, and definitely did not recognize Jiang Yishi as Zheng Ji’s flesh and blood.
He asked, “Does my uncle know?”
Meng Zhimo said, “The last time I returned to the capital, Uncle Ji investigated Shishi’s mother. He talked to me about it, and he respected my mother-in-law’s wishes to not bother her and her descendants. He also respects Shiji’s wish that each be at peace.”
