Chapter 4 – Thanks in Advance

Jiang Xun glanced at Jiang Yishi first, right into Jiang Yishi’s gaze at him. The gaze contained a smile, gentle like the spring sun outside the window.

Jiang Xun knew that he was disliked by everyone in the family, including his sister. When he saw Jiang Yishi’s expression, he was both surprised and excited, and had the urge to cry. Not paying attention to his feet, he stumbled and fell into a dog’s ass. The left foot shoe fell off, revealing the sock, the white sock was already yellow and had a hole in it. He hurriedly got up and put on the shoes, embarrassedly smiled at Jiang Yishi.

That sock made Jiang Yishi’s heart ache, this is the child without father and mother, no one to love, even if the slaves are many, still not good. I was confused in my previous life, so I must guard him well in this life.

Jiang Yishi asked, “Did it hurt?”

Jiang Xun said, full of concern, “It doesn’t hurt, it’s nothing.” And exaggeratedly bent down to look at the ground, laughing at himself, “Falling on a cloudy day – no shadow. Hehehe.”

Several soft laughs rang out.

The old lady frowned and said, “All thirteen years old, still fussy.”

In her heart, she said, “This is the child who has no mother to teach him, standing without standing, sitting without sitting, walking on the road will fall down, will not have a future. If the girl did not offend into the state government, they look at the second love can also help Jiang Xun, now …… alas, do not expect him to have success, do not get into trouble on the good.

Jiang Xun did not dare to smile, followed by a few brothers to the elders salute, sit to their own position.

A few people just sat down, heard a thunderstorm outside, then pouring rain poured down.

Elder Mrs. Jiang, Eldest Mrs. Jiang, Third Mrs. Jiang, and Great Grandma Jiang all looked at Jiang Yishi with a stunned expression on their faces.

Jiang Yishi was very calm, looking down at the green jade finger placed on her knee, white and tender, ten points of cardamom bright and colorful ……

In addition to the sound of rain and the sound of drinking water touching the tea bowl, there was not a single other sound. The old lady’s face was serious and puzzled, glancing at Jiang Yishi from time to time. Not to mention the others, even Jiang Xun, who loved to make a fuss, didn’t dare to make a sound.

The rain kept falling, when the sky was completely dark, the subordinate hurriedly came to report that uncle fell and broke his foot when he got off the carriage, and was carried directly back to the main courtyard.

Upon hearing this, First Lady Jiang glanced at Jiang Yishi in horror and said to the old lady, “Granny, I’ll go back to look at Master Bo.”

The old lady looked at Jiang Yishi in a daze, and didn’t look at the eldest Mrs. Jiang, waving her hand for her to go.

Grand Madame Jiang walked outside, Jiang Jin and several other people from the big house got up and hurriedly followed her out.

It was only a moment later that the old madam’s eyes rolled up, her eyes overflowing with laughter. Saying, “Maiden Xi stays behind, everyone else goes back to eat.”

Normally, the family ate breakfast and zhoumei separately, and dinner would be eaten together.

The crowd got up to leave.

Jiang Xun still looked at Jiang Yishi worriedly as he left. Second sister had just gotten into trouble, being left alone by her grandmother would not be good.

Jiang Yishi smiled at him and shook her head, meaning I’m fine.

The old lady removed the Buddha beads from her wrist and dismissed her subordinates, leaving only her and Jiang Yishi in the large room.

The old lady’s heart is overjoyed, but also forced to suppress. If the dream made by the girl is really true, tomorrow, the Duke and Duchess of Cheng actively come to the marriage, since the family is the in-laws of the Duke of Cheng’s house, why worry about the future of children and grandchildren is not good.

The old lady took a deep breath before she asked, “Shi-yatou, what else did you dream of?”

Jiang Yishi got up and came to the old lady’s front and said in a low voice, “Actually, it was my father who came to give me a dream.”

The old lady’s pupils shrank.

Jiang Yishi added, “My father was wearing a war robe, there was still blood on his body, and there seemed to be tears in his eyes. He said that our Jiang family had reached the point of survival, so he had to come and dream, hoping that the Jiang family would escape the calamity.”

The old lady didn’t treat Jiang Chen well, and Jiang Yishi was even more eager to say that it was the dead old uncle master who came to dream. But the old uncle was born a loser, and when he was alive, he only knew how to fight chickens and skate birds to hold the theater. The old lady would still believe him when he said he was dreaming because of a certain red card, but in all likelihood she wouldn’t believe him when he said he was dreaming because of the family’s survival.

The old lady’s eyes opened round, incredibly said, “life and death survival, disaster? It’s obviously a good thing to tie the knot with the Cheng Guo Gongfu. How did your father say it, say it clearly, don’t leave anything out.”

The old lady’s hand that was pinching the Buddha beads trembled, the veins on the back of her hand were unusually obvious. The dream prophecy was unbelievable, but the first two statements were fulfilled, and the old lady didn’t dare to disbelieve them.

Jiang Yishi took a deep breath and slowly said, “My father said this, ‘On the evening of March 26th, there will be heavy rainfall, and my elder brother will be in front of the door to give thanks to the ancestors in advance. Shiji fell into the water, big brother thank you, herald has come to the Jiang family life and death of the time.

“On March 27th, the Duke of Cheng will come to the house to ask for Meng San Gongzi’s hand in marriage to Shiji. This marriage must not be agreed to, otherwise Shishi will drown and the Burmese family will be framed for copying and destroying the family.” Grandmother, today is March 26th.”

Jiang Yishi had to make the consequences serious before the old madam and uncle Jiang would take it seriously. It also let them know that only poor decision making by the family members in charge was the root of the family’s defeat. By labeling her accidental fall into the water as a “foreshadowing”, the old lady and the big house would be less likely to use that incident to disgust her.

Her voice was getting weaker and weaker, and when she said “shi shi”, her eyes turned red. Of all her relatives, only father and mother called her “shi shi”.

She didn’t remember her mother calling her “shi shi”, but it was her father who told her.

Even after two lifetimes, Jiang Yishi still wanted to cry when she thought of how much Jiang Chen loved her and how she died in battle at such a young age.

Jiang old lady was shocked and afraid, her hand made a force, the rosary string broke, a Buddha bead fell to the ground, bouncing and rolling around.

She snapped, “Nonsense, my eldest son only fell, how can it be ‘early thanks’! My eldest son and third son are not high ranking, it is impossible for them to commit the great crime of copying and exterminating a family.”

Most of the crimes of plagiarizing and exterminating a family were plotting against or disobeying their superiors, as far as Uncle Jiang and Third Master Jiang were currently in their official positions, they didn’t even have the chance to commit this crime.

Jiang Yishi was at a loss, “I don’t know, that’s what my father said.”

The old lady raised her voice, “Come to the people.”

The maid Baozan who was guarding the porch outside the door walked in quickly, “Slave girl is here, what does the old madam command.”

“Go, ask uncle how he fell.”

Baoshan led the order to go out.

The old madam’s hands were shaking terribly. She ignored the words that Jiang Yixi might have drowned, fearing that the Burmaster’s House would really be cut off at the hands of her eldest son.

A quarter of an hour or so later Baozan returned.

“Reporting to old madam, I heard from the concierge, Old Uncle Hua, that Master Bo slipped under the car when he got off and landed on both knees and hands.”

Both knees and hands on the ground, not kowtowing.

Is he really thanking for his sins in advance?

The old lady looked at Jiang Yishi with solemnity in her eyes and waved her hand to dismiss the precious hairpin.

“Shi-yatou, what else did your father say?”

Her tone was much softer.

Jiang Yishi said, “Only that much. I woke up as soon as I was scared and went back to sleep without dreaming about my father.”
