Chapter 411 – Dying of an Illness
At the end of Shen Hour, the sun was setting in the west.
Jiang Yishi led CunCun and Yin’er to play in the Jin Garden, and Meng Zhimo and the others returned to the mansion one after another.
Cun Cun held her sister and greeted him, “Daddy, daddy ……”
Meng Ruimo picked up Yin’er, who pounced over, and held CunCun in one hand.
He said to Jiang Yishi, “Meng Xiu became famous with one sword.”
The analogy made Jiang Yishi laugh.
“It seems that sister Xiu did well.”
“I think she should have taken first place, but it’s a shame she only took fourth.”
Meng Zhimo didn’t like attending flower banquets, and when he did go occasionally, he wouldn’t go to see the talent show. Since Meng Xiu and Huang Xin were performing today, he went to watch.
The top three were all men, one playing the zither and two doing poetry, Meng Ruimo felt that none of them were as stunning as Meng Xiu’s sword dance.
Jiang Yishi felt that Meng Xiu had already achieved her goal by taking the first place in the women’s competition.
After the Peach Blossom Banquet, many families came to marry Meng Xiu, including Zhao Lingxin, the sixth son of the Marquis of Changsheng, whom Liu had previously favored.
Zhao Lingxin nineteen years old, is the youngest son of the Marquis of Changsheng, Zhao Qiuyue’s younger brother. Jiang Xun and the same in the Beijing martial arts school, the year before the martial arts candidate, the scholar failed, and now serves as the sixth grade of the city door leader.
The reason why so old has not been betrothed, is to pick a lot. The reason why he is still not betrothed at such an old age is that he is very picky. He picked and picked, and was impressed by Meng Xiu’s gallantry at the Peach Blossom Banquet.
Mrs. Zhao had been in contact with Liu a few times. Before the impression is very bad, and then found that Liu is not like the legend of the shrewd and unreasonable, on the contrary, very wise, the Chengdu Duke of the dead, Chengdu Duke of all the people with her relationship is very good. Especially with the daughter-in-law Jiang’s relationship, many pro mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not so good.
Meng embroidery in addition to some tall, other good.
Seeing that her son is so old, she finally has her eye on a girl, and Mrs. Zhao nodded her head in agreement.
Marquis Zhao did not agree, saying that his son “picked a leaky lamp”.
In terms of a political marriage, the Duke of Cheng’s House is powerful, General Liu is the King of Ping’s absolute heart, and his son’s marriage to Meng Xiu will be of great benefit to the Marquis of Changsheng.
But Liu’s reputation is really too bad, Marquis Zhao has seen her pugnacious and jealous. That time, Liu went to the Education Department to “catch adultery”, Marquis Zhao was on the scene.
He was afraid of his daughter’s mother, and his son married a shrew.
Zhao Lingxin invited her fourth sister Zhao Qiuyue back to her mother’s home as a lobbyist. Zhao Qiuyue played well with Jiang Yishi and met with Meng Xiu more often.
Zhao Qiu Yue’s evaluation of Meng Xiu was that she was the opposite of Liu, gentle, shy, and well mannered.
Zhao Lingxin, Lady Zhao, and Zhao Qiuyue work together to convince Marquis Zhao, and only then does Marquis Zhao relent.
Meng Xiu and Zhao Lingxin were finally betrothed. Because Zhao Lingxin was older, the marriage was scheduled for next October.
Jiang Yishi had seen Zhao Lingxin once, he was very tall and imposing, and he loved to smile. Jiang Xun also said that Zhao Lingxin is very good, although some of the problems of the children of the nobility, but gentle character, good character.
This marriage is Liu’s favorite, to the old master and old lady kowtowed, to Jiang Yishi sent a gift, to Cheng Guogong also have a little smile.
Cheng Guogong has been looking at Liu’s cold face, suddenly saw Liu’s smile at him, but also a little uncomfortable. Secretly, is Liu trying to make up with herself through this matter?
After watching for a long time, I don’t think Liu is particularly ugly. This kind of physical strength of the woman, should not be the same as those weak women …….
After dinner on the day of the marriage, he did not go to the outer courtyard, directly with Liu back to the main courtyard.
Liu thought that Duke Cheng went back to the house to get something, and did not care about him, directly into the side room.
Duke Cheng drank a cup of tea in the hall room, see Liu did not come out, heart secretly happy. That big-headed woman, there are shy times.
He put down the tea cup, foot into the bedroom.
Liu has already changed into a Chinese jacket and pants, sitting on the beauty couch to look through the books, calculating the dowry for her daughter.
Duke Cheng suddenly barged in, scared her fierce head, eyes also bulged, loudly drank, “you come in to do what?”
Duke Cheng was a bit bewildered, this is different from what he thought.
He frowned and said, “This is also my home, why can’t I come?”
Liu closed the account book and said coldly, “I appreciate the Meng family’s kindness to me. How we are to get along, the first day I married into the Meng family, the master made a deal with me, and there are documents to prove it.”
Duke Cheng’s face turned red with shame, and he hurriedly left with a cold snort.
Sister Liu had long sensed the change in Duke Cheng’s attitude towards Liu and was happy to see them get along. Seeing the lady like this, she sighed and advised, “Lady, the Duke of State has changed his mind, so you just give him a ladder and live a good life from now on, what’s wrong with that?”
Liu said, “The good life for me and Xiu’er was given by father-in-law and Mr. and Mrs. Resignation Mo, not him, Meng Daoming. Why should I give him a ladder? In my life, that’s how I’ll live it.”
The night was blank, and at some point it started to drizzle.
The spring rain was as fine as silk, without a single sound.
A fast horse galloped furiously to the east corner gate of the Yichang Grand Princess’ residence, knocked on the door, and the person went directly to the main hall of the inner courtyard again.
The Grand Princess and Zheng Lao extra horse harnessed by the side of the emperor’s team were preparing to rest when they heard that Lu Feng was seeking an audience.
Lu Feng is the guard who protects Fu, so late to come back, and this time ……
The Grand Princess and the old emperor’s son-in-law looked at each other and said, “Let him come in.”
Lu Feng came in and kowtowed, sadly saying, “Your Highness, Your Highness, Master extra horse harnessed by the side of a team, the Great Lady she, she died five days ago of illness.”
As soon as Fu died he came back to report it, and was delayed on the road for five days. The car that pulled the coffin wasn’t that fast, and it took about ten days.
The eldest princess and Zheng old extra horse harnessed by the side of the emperor’s side is to let Fu’s in this time “died of illness”. Not only to remove the scourge of wronging the family and the country, but also to ensure that their grandson will participate in the autumn examination next year.
If Fu died after September, Zheng Jing would not be able to take part for less than a year.
The Grand Princess wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said sorrowfully, “Alas, I didn’t expect her to be so sick. This Palace originally thought that she would be able to return to the house after a year or two of recuperation, if I had known that, I should not have let her leave the capital. She is a good daughter in law, filial piety to her in-laws during her life, teaching her son, the funeral must be done decently ……”
Yichang Grand Princess House is onyx, and the Grand Princess is also sick.
Hearing of He’s death, several female rolls of the Cheng Guo Gongfu all sobbed.
The old lady said, “We and the Zheng family are family friends, Zheng Ji is the old master’s disciple, and he has taken much care of Resignation Mo, and he loves Cun Cun and Yin Er a lot. Eldest daughter-in-law, second daughter-in-law, resignation ink daughter-in-law, you guys go to offer condolences, resignation ink daughter-in-law will make some more tonic soup for the Grand Princess to bring.”
Jiang Yishi guessed that the Eldest Princess and Zheng Lao extra horse harnessed by the side of a team wouldn’t keep He, but she didn’t expect it to happen so soon.
She was secretly happy first, but she didn’t realize that the old lady had given her two tasks. She was thinking of excuses not to go when the old Duke spoke.
“Eldest daughter-in-law and second daughter-in-law go, Daughter-in-law Resignation Mo goes back to make medicinal meals, the Grand Princess has always liked that bite.”
The old lord helped Jiang Yishi push back the condolences, but felt that at this time she should show something to the Eldest Princess.
