Chapter 8 Passing a Message
Don’t look at how tall the Bean girl has grown, she’s only fourteen years old.
Jiang Yishi laughed, “What a good girl.”
The praised Bean maid smiled happily and added, “She asked the granny’s mouth for suspicion, saying that the second girl wanted to climb up to that prince or whatever. The slave girl was so angry and panicked that she beat her face blue. The second girl is so handsome, how can she climb others, it is others who want to climb the second girl.”
Shui Xiang couldn’t stop her words even if she wanted to.
Jiang Yishi smiled without thinking, “What maid Bean said is true, I think so too.”
Maiden Bean changed the firewood to a smaller size and yarded it by the side room. Clapping her hands, she said, “Sister Shui Xiang, I’m returning. In the future, if the second girl has an errand, she must remember to let me do it, don’t give it to anyone else.”
Shui Xiang smiled and agreed, giving her two red juan flowers, “This is the girl’s reward.”
Bean girl smiled happily, wiped her hands on her body, took the flowers and gestured on her head, “Thank you for your reward. This flower is so handsome, go home and wear it to my grandpa and brother, they will surely praise me for my good looks.”
Just as Sister Wu returned from shopping, she laughed and said, “Our Bean girl was already good-looking.”
In addition to her grandfather and father and brother, this is the first time that the Bean girl has heard someone compliment her on her good looks, and covering her face in embarrassment, she trots off.
Sister Wu was already outside washing the fat intestines and went into the side room to brine them into the pot.
Jiang Xun came running with a red face.
“Sister, sister ……”
The young teenager looks like Jiang Chen, handsome and handsome, wheat skin, is the most handsome of the boys in the Jiang family. It was the fact that he walked without proper form, bouncing and jumping, giving people the impression that he was unsteady and had no temperament.
As soon as he ran into the house, it was like a ray of sunshine coming in, Jiang Yishi even brightened up her heart.
Jiang Yishi knew why he ran back at this time, and got up to wipe away his beads of sweat with a handkerchief.
“Slow down, why did you come back without school?”
Jiang Xun didn’t say anything, looking around with his thieving head.
Sister Wu and Shui Xiang understood and both retreated.
Only then did Jiang Xun get close to Jiang Yishi’s ear and whispered, “Sister, big brother Lianshan just quietly came to me and said that Meng Shizi said that if Duke Cheng and Great Lady Meng come to propose marriage, sister must not agree. Both of them and Third Duke Meng resisted this marriage, and it was the old master who forced them to agree. Sister will not be happy if she marries Third Duke Meng. If our family refuses the marriage, we can to some extent salvage sis’s reputation, and they will complain less about sis.”
When old Duke Cheng passed the title to his eldest son, he had asked for the title of World Son for Meng Ruimo even though he foresaw the possibility that Meng Ruimo would be blind in both eyes. He said that the Duke Cheng’s House was already rich and powerful, and that he did not need a future successor to carry forward the family business. The emperor respected the old Duke of Chengdu, but also pity Meng Ruimo young age on the battlefield, allowed.
Meng Lianshan is Meng Ruimo’s personal soldier and long follower. Because of the memory of Jiang Chen’s life-saving grace, Meng Ruimo returned to the capital last year after seeing Jiang Xun once, asked Jiang Xun what the requirements. Jiang Xun said that he wanted to learn martial arts and become a general like his father in the future.
Meng Ruimo gave Jiang Xun 500 taels of silver, a sword, a set of bows and arrows, so that Meng Lianshan regularly guide Jiang Xun martial arts.
Jiang Xun went home and gave the silver to Jiang Yishi, but Jiang Yishi confiscated it, saying that this is not etiquette, men and women are not kissed. I don’t know how the old lady knew about this matter, the silver to collect the past, said to help Jiang Xun safekeeping, and later to give him a daughter-in-law with ……
Jiang Xun also passed the same words in his previous life, Jiang Yishi did not listen. She knows that marrying Meng Ruyu will attract the hatred of Meng Da Mistress and Meng Ruyu, but thought that she and Meng San Duke already have a skin to skin, refused this marriage is unlikely to find a good marriage again. As long as they are gentle and small-minded some, virtuous and understanding some, the steel into a soft, always be able to move them. Not only do not want to refuse to marry, but also not let Jiang Xun Meng Ruimo message this matter to others to hear ……
Meng Ruimo understand the real idea of the Duke and Duchess of Cheng, afraid that she married into the Meng family suffering, only to let people pass the message to stop. I don’t hear myself, but I still think I got a great deal.
Jiang Yishi heart sadness, the previous life of their own was not the rich and powerful lost eyes.
Jiang Xun saw his sister dumbly thinking about things, persuaded, “Sister, I also think that Meng third son is not a good match for you, so married in, sister will not be happy. I heard from Big Brother Lianshan that Big Madam Meng is particularly heavy on rules.”
This child was quite sober at a critical time, and was genuinely concerned about his sister.
Jiang Yishi laughed, “Don’t worry, I know my place, I won’t climb up to the Meng family. Don’t say anything about this either, it’s not good for Meng Shizi and me.”
Jiang Xun breathed a sigh of relief, he was first afraid that his sister would scarcely care about that marriage, marrying Third Prince Meng and suffering.
“Brother is not stupid, of course I won’t say anything. Sister still has to convince grandmother and elder uncle to keep them from agreeing.”
Jiang Yishi said, “I’ll explain to them what’s at stake.”
Jiang Xun pulled out a small straw woven fish from his pocket, “I went to the street corner to buy it during class.”
Jiang Yishi took it, “It’s very somewhat wild.”
“Sis likes it, I’ll buy a few more next time.”
Jiang Yishi stopped, “It’s fine to have two of these for fun. Brother buy me a set of Immediate Medical Forest and a set of silver needles, quietly, don’t let people see.”
The Immediate Medical Forest is the most advanced and comprehensive ophthalmology monograph of the Jin and Dynasty, totaling six volumes.
In her previous life, Jiang Yixi, who had entered the nunnery, blamed herself very much, thinking that if she had listened to the advice and not married into the Meng family, that person would not have harmed her and Meng Zhimo with this method.
She wanted to cure Meng Zhimo’s eyes, even if she thought it was a fool’s dream. The first few years in the nunnery, she had been following the books with all her heart, and it wasn’t until she met old Dr. Shen that she began to learn systematically. Because of the foundation from the previous years, learning was twice as easy as learning with half the effort.
The book explains and treats various eye diseases such as red eye, glaucoma, cataract, etc. However, Dr. Shen said that these things can’t play a big role in Meng Zhimo’s eye disease. The root of Meng Ruimo’s illness was not in his eyes, but in his brain.
However, she still had to pretend, and in the future, she would hold on to her medical books and read them when she had nothing else to do. She is gifted and can cure diseases after reading medical books.
The set of books was expensive, it cost twenty taels of silver, and three taels of silver for silver needles.
Jiang Yishi took ten taels of silver and took out another gold hairpin.
“This hairpin can be pawned for fifteen taels of silver, give less not to be pawned.”
Jiang Xun heard that it was a medical book, but didn’t know exactly what it cured, and thought that it was not bad for his sister to read a book to pass her boring days. Hearing that she even knew how much a hairpin could be pawned for, she was puzzled.
“Sister, how do you know that this gold hairpin is worth ten taels of silver?”
Jiang Yishi said vaguely, “Sister Wu said so.”
Jiang Xun returned the gold hairpin and five taels of silver to Jiang Yishi again, “Big brother Lianshan gave me twenty taels of silver, so five more taels will be enough.”
Meng Ruimo knew that after Jiang Xun’s silver was taken away by the old lady, Meng Lianshan occasionally gave Jiang Xun silver again, he wouldn’t give more, only ten or twenty taels to give him pocket money.
Jiang Yishi took, she used the money place is still more. He also instructed, “My brother is getting bigger by the day, it’s not good to collect his money again, don’t collect it again.”
Jiang Xun nodded in agreement.
