At noon on May 17th, the rain that had been falling for two days finally stopped. Raindrops were still dripping from the trees on the eaves, and the sky was blue, as if it had been washed.

Not long after, the old Duke came to Jinyuan again.

He asked people to bring out more than a dozen pots of flowers to the porch, and supported the flower stems that had been bent by the rain and wind on small sticks. After taking care of them, he washed his hands and went to Fusheng Residence to pay attention to his grandson and drink tea.

Today there is a smile on the old man's face, unlike the gloomy face before. Even Xiao Zhaocun felt the great grandfather's joy and smiled at him while lying on the kang. The little guy danced his hands and feet in the air, laughing. There are no teeth in his eyes, his eyes are crooked, and there are two small dimples in the corners of his mouth.

Was Cimo also like this when he was a child?

The old man stretched out his big hand to pinch the child's little face, then pulled it back to look at the rough fat belly, then changed direction and pinched the child's chubby feet.

He said, "When your father was a child, your great-grandfather was often outside fighting, and even at home he didn't think about his children and grandchildren. Alas, your great-grandfather was sorry for him and made him suffer a lot. If your great-grandfather was in good health and could live a few more years, Responsible for teaching you well..."

Jiang Yixi personally served the tea and said with a smile, "My family, Cuncun, is blessed to have been taught by the God of War since childhood."

The old man laughed loudly.

He has no daughter, and his granddaughters are all afraid of him and not very close to him. But this granddaughter-in-law can always make this old man happy.

Jiang Yixi smiled again and said, "Second uncle will go home soon."

Meng Ciyue went to her hometown to find an heir for her third wife at the end of last month.

The old man said, "If everything goes well, I'll be home in five to ten days. Alas, if my third son is still alive and Cimo has a good helper, I can rest more."

The old man has worked hard all his life, and when he gets old, he wants to take more rest, raise flowers and birds, and no longer worry about the affairs of the court. But the eldest son is not reliable and is holding him back, the second son is of average ability, and Meng Ciyue and Meng Ciyan have not yet As he grew up, Meng Cimo could not stand alone, so he had to continue to worry.

Meng Ciyan didn't even pass the examination as a scholar, and dropped out of the Imperial Academy. The old man found a job for him in Tonglin County, and he was appointed as the eighth-grade county magistrate. The old man wanted him to start from the bottom, know the sufferings of the people, learn more skills, and become successful in the future. .Unlike his father, promotions are all based on the emperor’s sake.

The two were chatting and laughing, and the girl from Fu'an Hall came to report that the old lady and the eldest lady from Cui Cifu's house were here. The eldest lady asked the eldest lady to accompany the guests.

Mrs. Cui is Cui Cifu's wife. She is already in her fifties. She is not in good health and seldom goes out.

The old man sighed, "I have already told the old woman that with Ciyu like this, we can't delay Miss Cui. We agree to cancel the engagement, as long as they can make the Queen Mother relax."

Jiang Yixi went to Fu'an Hall.

After Fu's accident, news came out that Cui Wenjun was seriously ill. Two days ago, I received a letter from Zheng Tingting, saying that she, Zhao Qiuyue, and Xue Qingliu went to Cui's house specially. Cui Wenjun was in very bad condition, crying every day, as if I also committed suicide...

Jiang Yixi wrote another letter to Cui Wenjun and sent a pot of flowers and a box of snacks to express her condolences.

Jiang Yixi knows Cui Wenjun better. Although the little girl is a bit arrogant, she is definitely a good girl. If the Meng family falls, she will not dislike Meng Ciyu. But Meng Ciyu's biological mother is such a person, and now many people are beginning to question Meng Ci

She was definitely not willing to remarry Yu's family. Moreover, the Cui family had always disliked this marriage and was forced into it by Concubine Zhao.

At this time, something like this happened to the Fu family. If the plan was right and Li Zhenbao happened to be beside Queen Mother Xia and helped Cui Wenjun to put in good words, Queen Mother Xia would have taken back her life.

Retreating from a marriage is not about wealth but about character. Others will not accuse the Cui family of disliking the poor and loving the rich. However, after this incident, it is not easy for Cui Wenjun to find a good husband's family.

When I came to Fu'an Hall, I saw an old woman in her fifties talking to Mrs. Meng. Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Meng were both there.

Mrs. Cui is very thin, and she looks about the same age as Mrs. Meng, who is over sixty years old. Mrs. Meng was not thin when she was not in good health, she was plump. Now she has been nursed back to white and fat by Jiang Yixi, and her face is white and rosy.

He is really fat.

Mrs. Cui and Jiang Yixi met at the Peach Blossom Banquet. She is Cui Wenjun's mother.

Jiang Yixi stepped forward, knelt down and saluted.

Mrs. Cui waved and smiled, "I often hear Wenjun mention you. Thank you for writing her a letter to comfort her when she was in the most difficult time."

Jiang Yixi said some polite words, and those people talked about how beautiful Qu Fen was back then, how gentle and wise she was, how pitiful Meng Cimo and Meng Yue were, and how those bad rumors about Meng Cimo in his early years were all intentional...

Old Mrs. Meng also knew what they meant. She first said the same thing, "Oh, those old men have been fighting outside for many years, and I have been sick in bed for many years, so those people with bad conscience and shamelessness have taken advantage of the loophole.

We are sorry for Mrs. Qu, and we have also wronged Cimo and Yue Yatou.

That shameless Mr. Fu not only harmed his stepsons and stepdaughters, but also his own children. Little girl Cui is a good child, and we cannot delay her. If the Queen Mother is willing to take back her life, our Meng family has no objection..."

Mrs. Cui, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

Cui Cifu shed tears in front of the emperor because of his eldest granddaughter.

The emperor expressed his understanding. No one wanted his granddaughter to have such a disgusting mother-in-law. Mrs. Fu had been pretending to be virtuous in the past few years. Who knows if Meng Ciyu's good reputation was just an act.

The emperor promised that if the Meng family did not seek trouble, he would persuade the Queen Mother to see if he could ask the Queen Mother to withdraw his order.

This is not considered a back-and-forth. When the Queen Mother granted the marriage, it was not only based on whether the two younger children were a good match, but also based on the character of the elder. Now that one of the elders is known to have extremely bad character, it is of course difficult to pair them up again.

The Cui family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law joked a little more, then said goodbye and went back home.

At early noon the next day, a chamberlain came to Cining Palace and said that the Queen Mother had an oral order and asked Meng Ciyu to take over.

Even if they knew what was going on, all the masters at home would go to the front yard. Those who had official orders would wear phoenix crowns and harems, and the old man would wear official uniforms.

Meng Ciyu, dressed in plain clothes, staggered when walking, his face was extremely gloomy, and his eyes were filled with hatred.

The old man whispered to him.

Meng Ciyu and the old man knelt at the front, while the others knelt at the back.

The chamberlain sang, "The Empress Dowager has spoken. The Ai family heard that Mrs. Fu was dissolute, did many evil things, deceived superiors and deceived subordinates, and disgraced women all over the world. They were very angry. Wenjun, a daughter of the Cui family, was virtuous, gentle and gentle, and was born in a scholarly world.

The Ai family feels pity for her. The marriage proposal is cancelled, and both the man and the woman are to marry separately."

The chamberlain left, but Meng Ciyu was still kneeling on the ground dumbly.

With tears in his eyes, Meng Hua stepped forward and tried to help Meng Ciyu up.

Meng Ciyu took her arm back and shouted at her, "Go away, I don't need your sympathy for me." If you like Chunman Jinghua, please collect it: (https://www.myxls.net) Chunman Jinghua Search Novel Network updates at the fastest speed on the entire network
