Chapter 167 Injured
The old couple heard that only three tomatoes were ripe. One Huahua ate it, one was given to Li Zhenbao, and the other was brought here. They quickly put down the tomatoes, and there were two slices left on the plate.
The old lady pushed the plate and said with a smile, "Take a bite, dear Cimo, you have worked hard for so long and you haven't eaten yet."
Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "I'll eat it next time."
As soon as she finished speaking, Huahua rushed to the old lady's legs, stood up and bowed to her.
It still wants to eat.
Jiang Yixi said angrily, "You ate one by yourself and still argued. If you ask for more, there won't be any for you tomorrow."
The old lady smiled and hugged Huahua into her arms, "If you have eaten so much, you are not allowed to argue. There are two slices left for An Ge'er and Xin'er to eat."
The other two tomatoes were ripe the next day. In the evening, Jiang Yixi made tomato scrambled eggs according to Li Zhenbao's instructions. The masters each took a bite and tasted the freshness. The color was delicious and the taste was unique. The masters began to look forward to more ripe tomatoes.
Jiang Yixi was a little disappointed when Meng Cimo didn't return home on the night of the 19th.
On the morning of the 20th, all six tomatoes were ripe.
The flowers were rolling all over the ground and tears came out. Jiang Yixi had to give it one more. He also gave one to the Dachang Princess Mansion and Zheng Shaobao Mansion in Yichang, and promised to give more to it when it matures. This is what Zheng Ji asked Zheng Yu to give.
The seeds that come here are always given to their families to taste. They also send them to the eldest princess of Yichang, as well as the tonic soup made by Jiang Yixi.
The remaining three tomatoes were taken to Fu'antang and cut into slices. She scraped out the seeds before letting them eat. All the guests who came to pay their respects tasted one slice, and each of the elderly and children ate an extra slice.
At the end of July, all the tomatoes began to ripen. In addition to sending three kilograms each to Master Yuhe of Baoguo Temple, Princess Dachang's Mansion and Zheng's Mansion in Yichang, they also sent some to several old friends of the old Guo Gong and the Jiang family.
Two kilograms. Jiang Yixi only kept a small part of the rest for Huahua to eat, and most of it was taken to the small kitchen of Fu'antang. When the cook was cooking, she would scrape out the seeds and give them to Jiang Yixi to save the seeds.
Jiang Yixi asked Wu Yougui to tell Uncle Wu to send some to Li Zhenbao, three at a time, once every three days. Then send another five kilograms to the Fifth Regiment Camp to Meng Cimo, along with a recipe for making tomatoes. Or give it to him.
Prince Ping and Concubine Qu may be given to Shangfeng, it's up to him.
At the beginning of July 29th, Meng Cimo finally returned home.
He first went to Fu'an Hall to greet the old couple, and then talked secretly with the old Duke for a quarter of an hour before returning to Fusheng Residence.
Jiang Yixi had already had the food and wine prepared, and even made tomato scrambled eggs and squirrel fish specially for him.
Meng Cimo was sweating profusely and went directly to the clean room to take a shower. Jiang Yixi found a pair of medium-length clothes and trousers and put them on a hanger outside the clean room, and went to wash his long hair in person.
Before getting married, Meng Cimo's hair was washed by Meng Lianshan and several other soldiers. After moving into Fusheng Residence, he didn't like girls washing his hair, so Jiang Yixi washed it for him.
Jiang Yixi washed and massaged her head, listening to Meng Cimo talk with her eyes closed.
"I went to the imperial mausoleum yesterday to meet Prince Ping and my aunt, and I didn't return to the camp until early this morning. I went to meet Prince Ping before, but my aunt didn't see her because of her poor health. This time I met her, and she even invited me to dinner. My aunt is very young.
She is very beautiful, and they say that my mother looks very much like her. When I see her, I feel like I see my mother. Oh, she likes the shoes you gave her very much, and she even brought you a gift."
Jiang Yixi had an idea. Everyone who had met Qu said that Meng Cimo and Meng Yue were very similar to Qu. That is to say, Meng Cimo and Meng Yue looked very much like Concubine Qu. If the emperor saw Meng Yue, he would
Wouldn't you think of Concubine Qu to recruit their mother and son back to the palace?
In fact, the emperor doted on the beautiful concubine Qu very much. Even if he believed that concubine Qu had seduced the prince, he could not bear to execute her and only drove the mother and son to the imperial mausoleum.
She said, "So, the eldest sister looks very much like Concubine Qu. If we try to find a way for the emperor to see eldest sister, will he think of Concubine Qu who is suffering far away in the imperial mausoleum?"
Meng Cimo shook his head and said, "I have thought about it before. But the eldest sister is a person who can live together and separate..." If the emperor fell in love with her, it would be even more troublesome.
He didn't say this clearly.
Jiang Yixi understood what he meant. After all, the emperor couldn't let Meng Yue see him.
She let out a long sigh.
Meng Cimo laughed, opened his eyes and looked at her tenderly, then pushed her head down and kissed her for a moment before letting go.
He smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. As long as we all live well and plan for the long term. Although Prince Ping is far away from the center of power, he has a bright mind and has found ways to cultivate many dark forces. In a few days, my cousin from the Qu family will come to see him and me."
After washing her hair, Jiang Yixi left the clean room. After taking a shower, Meng Cimo put on her clothes and pants, went out and took out a brocade box from the package she brought back and gave it to Jiang Yixi.
It is a pair of ice jade bracelets that are extremely water-resistant.
Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "It's very beautiful, I like it very much."
The two sat on the Kang, Jiang Yixi poured him a glass of wine and ate with him.
Meng Cimo also liked the squirrel fish dish very much. He said, "Of those few kilograms of tomatoes, I gave two kilograms to Mr. Jiang and three kilograms to my aunt. My aunt likes to eat tomato scrambled eggs very much. She said it is delicious, refreshing and relieves tiredness.
.Both Prince Ping and I can’t bear to eat more, so we’ll give her a few kilograms more in the future.”
Jiang Yixi failed to get pregnant, and Meng Cimo was also very sorry, so she worked hard twice more at night.
The next morning, as soon as Meng Cimo and Jiang Yixi started to have breakfast, the woman from the front yard came to report that something had happened to the second uncle's uncle, Jiang Da, who was the eldest son of the second uncle.
Jiang Yixi was startled, "Something happened to Xun'er? Let Jiang Da come in and answer the question."
Wu Yougui accompanied Jiang Da to Fushengju in a hurry.
Jiang Da's nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his head was wrapped with gauze. He knelt down and said, "Second Grandma, my servant neglected my duty and caused Second Uncle to be injured."
Jiang Yixi was extremely anxious, "What's going on? Is my brother seriously injured?"
Jiang Da said, "Last night, the second master and his classmates went home after eating and drinking, and met a group of people fighting on the road..."
Of the two groups fighting, more than a dozen were from outside the city and the other three were from the capital.
Jiang Xun took Jiang Da and Wang Fu to start a fight. Unexpectedly, the outsiders were so arrogant and unreasonable that they fought with Jiang Xun and others. Jiang Xun and Jiang Da were very powerful in martial arts, and the other three were not weak either. They defeated many with less, and they were beaten together.
More than a dozen people fought hard, and both sides were injured.
When the government officials arrived, they found out that the group of outsiders were Yuan Xian, the grandson of Princess Dachang of Yishan, and his bodyguard, while the other group was Zheng Jing, the grandson of Princess Dachang’s Mansion in Yichang, and his servant, and the third group was from Uncle Wu Xiang’s Mansion.
Jiang Xun and his slaves.
Ignoring the third group of people, the other two groups could not be offended by the government officials. Seeing that they were seriously injured and still young, they had to be taken back to Jingzhao Mansion for bandages, and then reported to Jingzhao Mansion...
The eldest princess of Yishan died early. Yuan Xian has been living in Hangzhou with his father, who was an official in Jiangnan, since he was five years old. This time he returned to Beijing to attend the 65th birthday of the Queen Mother. He drank too much and fought with Zheng Jing and others.
