Chapter 41 – Meng Yue
Meng Zhimo said, “Yes. Uncle Zheng was a general brought up by my grandfather, and was also my grandfather’s most honored student. Of course, I am also my grandfather’s most pleased student.”
Jiang Yishi patted a horse’s ass, “I’ve heard that if Brother Meng’s eyes weren’t injured, he would have been as established as Grandfather Meng.”
Meng Zhimo’s eyes darkened, that too if his eyes weren’t injured. But nowadays, the eye disease trapped him in a square inch, and he was bound by everything.
Jiang Yishi busily said, “Brother Meng trusts me, I can cure you.”
When it was time, Jiang Yishi began to pull out the silver needle. Suddenly, a “gurgling” sound rang out, Jiang Yishi turned red, but insisted on removing all the silver needles and ran out of the house as if fleeing.
Meng Zhimo sat up. Seeing the little girl shy and embarrassed, he was also quite embarrassed.
Being hungry, anyone would encounter this kind of thing.
This room he was already familiar with, and faithfully walked to the window.
He could vaguely see the beautiful purples and reds in the yard, although he still couldn’t see clearly, his eyesight didn’t deteriorate further, which was a good sign.
Jiang Yishi walked into the kitchen to look for food. The meat in the pot hadn’t been brined yet, so she ate two snacks and a small half of the roasted chicken she bought in town. It was only after she had some goods in her stomach that she felt better.
Sister Wu sighed as she watched.
Shui Qing ran to the bedroom to bring out the small mirror and lipstick hidden in the sleeve cage, Jiang Yishi hid in the kitchen and wiped her small oily mouth clean, and then applied her makeup in the mirror before she walked out as if nothing had happened.
She was too embarrassed to go see Meng Zhimo, so she stood under the eaves and teased Jojo.
As soon as Jojo saw her, she called out “Miss Jiang, Flower”, making her laugh.
Meng Ruimo saw the green color, and then heard the happy laughter, and felt that Jojo had sent it to the right place.
Not long after, Meng Laoguo Gong came, also brought Meng Zhuyue, Meng’s second master, Meng’s second grandmother Xia, and his grandson Meng Zhao’an.
Meng Zhuyue was Second Master Meng’s eldest son, two months younger than Meng Zhimo, and his son was already three years old. He was serving in the Imperial Forest Army, and today he happened to be off-duty, and was ordered by the old madam and the second master to bring his daughter-in-law and son to visit the old master and Meng Zhimo.
Shortly after they arrived at Meng’s estate, the old master said he would take them to the Huzhuang for dinner.
Instead of saying that Meng Ruimo had gone to Huzhuang to see a doctor, the old lord said that he had gone to Huzhuang to deliver a parrot. Afraid that they would misunderstand, he even said that he had asked Meng Ruimo to deliver it.
Meng Ruyi and Xia’s were puzzled, sending a bird like this would be enough to send a subordinate, why let the big brother with bad eyes go? Big brother is a cold person, after the bad eyes, even more do not like to interact with people, and even the interaction between brothers are less, actually willing to go to the little lady to send parrots. But thinking that Miss Jiang’s father died to save him, this kind of behavior from him is normal.
Jiang Yishi didn’t expect Meng Zhi Xue’s family of three to be able to come.
In his previous life, except for the old Duke and Meng Ruimo, the living dead Third Lady Meng who hardly appeared in front of people, and the unintelligent Meng Zhao’an, all the Meng family members looked down on Jiang Yishi who had utilized that kind of means to marry into the Meng family. Coupled with First Lady Meng’s dislike and Meng Zhaoyu’s depression, they were even more hostile to Jiang Yishi. Especially the women, not only did they not have a good face towards Jiang Yishi, they sneered at him when they caught the chance, and Xia didn’t say anything ……
They gave Jiang Yishi a really bad feeling.
But the visitor is a guest, and do not want to make the old Duke unhappy, Jiang Yishi still suppressed the dislike, smiled to welcome out the door.
Today’s Meng Zhi Xue and Xia’s were all smiles and smiles to Jiang Yishi, their attitudes were extremely good, and it still made her a little uncomfortable.
Xia smiled and said, “Thank you, Second Miss Jiang, the rose crystal cake you sent An Ge’er likes it very much.”
Ange’er in Nurse Nanny’s arms licked his lips and said, “Gao Gao is good seven, more seven.”
Jiang Yi shi laughed, “Auntie made a lot, take some more for An Ge’er to eat at home.”
Seeing so many visitors, the chirp in the cage got excited again, calling with his voice, “Miss Jiang, flower, there is a good person in the north ……”
The crowd burst into laughter, the old man’s laughter was especially bright.
Song Zhimo in the room was very embarrassed, making it seem as if he had taught him all these words praising Miss Jiang.
He walked out the door, and Meng Zhi Xue and Xia went over to salute.
“Big brother.”
“Eldest brother.”
Meng Ruyi nodded.
The husband and wife glanced at each other. Big brother had gained some weight and seemed to have a much better mental outlook.
Meng Ruimo explained, “This bird is a gift from Uncle Zheng, and those words were taught by people on Uncle Zheng’s side.”
Mr. and Mrs. Meng Ruyue looked at each other again, Uncle Zheng always doesn’t know that there is a Miss Jiang right ……
The old man looked around the courtyard and pointed at the two pots of flowers and said, “These two pots of orchids are about to bloom, they need more fertilizer ……”
Jiang Yishi laughed, “I just want to ask Grandfather Meng to come and help take a look ……”
Meng Zhuyue and his wife saw that almost all the flowers and birds in the courtyard were moved from the Meng family home, the old man was as casual here as he was in his own home, and was called “Grandfather Meng” by Jiang Yishi, as well as Meng Zhimo’s special treatment, he was even more impressed with Jiang Yishi.
Except for Meng Zhaoan, who was teasing Jojo in the courtyard, the others went into the west wing.
A few people had just said a few words when Shui Ling came to report that the Meng family’s Great Aunt and Cousin Miss had arrived.
It was Meng Yue and her daughter Huang Xin.
These two guests were even more unexpected.
They too should have gone to the Meng family home first and chased them here.
Meng Yue was Meng Zhimo’s sibling, and Duke Cheng’s late wife Qu only had this pair of children.
Jiang Yishi had also seen her once in her previous life.
That was in the middle of June in the previous life, and the time was coming up in this life as well, when Elder Taijun Meng celebrated her fifty-eighth birthday.
The Meng family didn’t invite the female members of the Jiang family, but in order to curry favor with the Meng family, the Jiang old lady still let the Jiang grand madam bring Jiang Yishi to deliver gifts of congratulations.
Jiang Yishi still doesn’t want to recall the embarrassment and cold treatment she received during that time.
When Meng Yue saw Jiang Yishi, she first thanked Jiang Yishi’s father for using his life to save her eldest brother, and then very unhappily blamed Jiang Yishi for using that kind of tactic to rely on her second brother, making her mother sad and her second brother miserable.
Meng Yue was very simple and very direct, what she said made Jiang Yishi sad and embarrassed, her face reddened and she bowed her head without saying anything.
Moreover, Meng Yue’s relationship with Grand Madam Meng was very good, she almost always held Grand Madam Meng’s arm, and was even more intimate than Grand Madam Meng with her own daughter, Meng Hua.
Many of her children and grandchildren came to kowtow to Elder Dowager Meng to pay their respects, and Meng Yue was also much more affectionate to Meng Zhuyu than Meng Zhimo.
Jiang Yishi felt that Meng Yue was even more foolish than herself in her previous life. In her previous life, although she didn’t really cherish Jiang Xun either, she at least knew that Elder Mrs. Jiang and Great Mrs. Jiang were not merciful, and she wasn’t so confused that she recognized a thief as her mother.
Jiang Yishi also knew that Meng Yue would make a big deal this October that would shock the capital and end up hanging herself ……
As soon as Meng Ruimo heard that his eldest sister and young niece had arrived, his eyes burst out with a gleam and he smiled as he stood up and headed out the door.
“Sister is here.”
No matter how Meng Yue treated Meng Ruimo, Meng Ruimo’s heart ached for this only sibling.
Jiang Yixi also welcomed out the door.
