Chapter 358: Not Marrying Qing
Thinking of Zheng Tingting, Jiang Xun’s eyes were again filled with the color of pain.
The crying before was unbelievable and unbearable. At this time, he did not shed tears, his eyes were red, the pain was in his heart and every bone, so much so that his expression was distorted, looking at Jiang Yishi’s heartache.
Jiang Yishi dryly persuaded, “Xun Er, you are still young, good girl ……”
“Sister, in my heart, big girl Zheng is the best girl in the world, I only want to marry her.”
“Xun’er, think about Mother and Zheng Ji, they have been capricious, and the pain continues until now ……”
Jiang Yishi didn’t know how to persuade Jiang Xun.
She knew that Jiang Xun letting go of this relationship was good for both Jiang Xun and Zheng Tingting. But for her to say it plainly, for her to be just as stick up as the Grand Princess of Yichang, she couldn’t say it, she couldn’t do it. When Hu Mingya was forced to throw herself into the river, Zheng Ji couldn’t let go until now.
But she also knew that if she couldn’t let go, Jiang Xun and Zheng Tingting would suffer even more.
She felt that since she was reborn, this was the most difficult choice question for her, she did not know what to do.
“Sister, don’t force me to take a daughter-in-law, don’t force me like Grand Princess Yichang forced Uncle Zheng, please.”
Jiang Xun’s voice gurgled in his throat.
“If Miss Zheng doesn’t marry someone, I’ll just keep waiting. When those people are gone, as long as Miss Zheng is still in her boudoir, I will marry her. If she marries first, I’ll die and give her my blessing.”
Thinking of Zheng Tingting becoming someone else’s bride, Jiang Xun clutched his head in pain.
He even had an impulse that if Miss Zheng was willing, he would take her far away.
But thinking of Zheng Ji and his mother’s impulse, he forced himself to hold back that thought. That would harm Tingting. Hire for a wife and run for a concubine, such a good girl, he could not trample on her lightly.
Also, he couldn’t let go of his sister who had always loved her. If he left, his sister’s life would be publicized, how would she face the situation of “illegitimate daughter”?
At that time, Mrs. Jiang would definitely not care about her.
If he is in, even if his sister’s life out, he can also be the identity of the second house family, to express his sister’s never give up …….
Jiang Xun looked at the sky thinking about his mind. After an hour or so, a few prairie blisters actually grew around his mouth.
Jiang Yishi accompanied him without words.
The room was silent.
Jiang Yishi also had an impulse to go and talk to the Zheng family, can we not beat the lovebirds, do not let Zheng Ji and the two women s generation drama repeat ……
Meng Zhimo went down to the government office and went straight back to the Floating Life Residence.
He accompanied Jiang Xun drinking to the beginning of the eleventh hour, the second door is almost locked. Jiang Xun was so drunk that he was helped into the sedan chair and carried to the guest room in the front yard to rest.
Jiang Yishi asked Sister Wu to go to the guest room to serve his uncle well before going home.
With red eyes, Jiang Yishi told Meng Zhimo about her conversation with Jiang Xun.
“Xun said that as long as Tingting doesn’t marry, he won’t marry. He has a screwed up nature and will definitely do it. The old lady is also shallow-eyed and bent on climbing up the ladder, so there’s going to be a ruckus in the house.”
Meng Zhimo said, “If both he and Elder Miss Zheng have that determination, the outcome is still uncertain. I understand Zheng old tai pao, the most is to protect the calf, Mrs. Zheng is also love daughter heart. Xun Er is also so excellent and infatuated …… We will see.”
At night, it rained.
The raindrops tic tic tic tic knocked on the tiles, noisy Jiang Yishi could not sleep.
At the end of the next day, Jiang Yishi sent Meng Zhimo out the door.
He also handed over to Shui Ling, “Go to the guest room to keep watch at dawn, and when Xun’er wakes up, have him come to the Floating Life Residence.”
After breakfast, Shui Ling went to the guest room in the outer courtyard.
There were several connected small courtyards in the southwest of the outer courtyard. It was surrounded by a small forest and was very secluded. One of them housed Qu Xiu and Hu Jiwen, who were attentively preparing for the Temple Examination next month.
Jiang Xun lived in the leftmost small courtyard.
Wang Fu and Jiang Da were mostly up, sitting in the courtyard and gossiping in low voices.
Jiang Da thought his sister was here to see him and smiled, “What is it sister?”
Shui Ling said, “Where is uncle?”
“Second Master hasn’t woken up yet. What happened to him yesterday?”
Jiang Da and Wang Fu were puzzled, uncle master was happy when he came, how did he become that way at night.
Shui Ling, now very much the conscious of a great maid of a public house, frowned and said, “The master didn’t say, so we lackeys shouldn’t inquire too much. Great Grandma asked me to keep watch, and when uncle wakes up, invite him to Floating Life Residence to catch up.”
He also took out the package in his hand and opened it, “This is the tonic medicine I bought for grandfather, and this is the clothes and shoes I made for my little nephew.”
Jiang Da smiled so much that he couldn’t see his teeth, “Meizi’s hands are getting more and more skillful, she can still make clothes.”
Shui Ling blushed a little. Most of these clothes and shoes were made for her by her sisters, she only sewed a small part of them, and those uneven stitches were her masterpiece.
Jiang Xun only got up at the beginning of the sixth hour. He looked depressed, the prairie blisters around his mouth rose a long string.
Shui Ling said the master’s meaning.
Jiang Xun shook his head, “You go back and tell my sister, I have nothing to do, I’ll go home first.”
Right now he didn’t want to face anyone, just wanted to be alone. This was someone else’s home, one couldn’t be capricious here.
He didn’t eat breakfast either and led Jiang Da and Wang Fu back to Jiang Mansion.
Shui Ling said, “It’s still raining, slave girl will go call a carriage.”
“The rain is not heavy, no need.”
Jiang Da still put the cloak and straw raincoat on for his master.
Several people were about to walk into the hutong where the Jiang Mansion was located, when a girl came out from under the tree and blocked the way.
The little girl had an oil paper umbrella and was wearing a green shirt, very familiar.
She introduced herself, “Jiang Er Gongzi, slave girl Xia Liu, is Miss Zheng’s maid.”
Jiang Xun remembered, it was Zheng Tingting’s maid.
He dismounted and said, “What is the matter with you girls?”
Xia Liu reddened and gathered enough courage to say softly, “Our girl was reprimanded by her elders and banned from her feet. She asked her slave girl to come and bring a message to Gongzi, she is infatuated with Gongzi and is not married to him.”
Jiang Xun was so touched that his eyes reddened, and the depressed air in his chest drifted away with the wind. He felt that the girl’s family could do this, he as a man, could not do nothing.
He said, ”Go back and tell your girl, my heart is the same as hers, non-Qing will not marry. Tomorrow is the day off, the Zheng family elders are all at home, I will personally go to the Zheng family to reveal my feelings to the elders. If they don’t agree, I’ll wait. I also ask Miss Zheng to take care of her body and wait until the day I marry her.”
Xia Liu’s eyes rippled with laughter, there was no wrong payment for the girl’s infatuation.
“Slave girl will talk to the girl clearly, also Jiang Er please take care of your son.”
Jiang Xun returned to his small courtyard.
Sister Qin was startled, “Ouch, what’s wrong with the second master?”
She knew that the second master went to find the second aunt yesterday, she didn’t know what they said.
Jiang Xun dismissed the subordinates and looked more serious.
“Grandma, yesterday my sister told me about my mother and Uncle Zheng. You are an old man of the Hu family, you must be clear about my mother’s matter, say it again more carefully.”
Xia Liu returned to the courtyard, Zheng Tingting was still copying the Female Precepts.
The elders didn’t let her go to the Grand Princess’ residence on the grounds that she was ill. She was punished by being grounded for three months and copying the Female Precepts thirty times.
Zheng Tingting cried tears of joy when she heard Xia Liu’s words.
