On the eighth day of August, news came again that Second Grandma Meng was pregnant.

Mistress Meng was injured while giving birth to Meng Zhaoan, and after several years of recuperation she finally became pregnant again.

Not to mention that the second master and his wife were happy, the old couple were also happy. The old lady came to visit her personally and told her to rest at home and raise the baby until she was three months old and not to go anywhere.

Jiang Yixi asked Linxiang to take Shuicao and Shuiping to the warehouse to find two pieces of soft cotton cloth suitable for children to make clothes. She also took two pieces of small clothes that Li Zhenbao had given to her brother Cun and gave them to the second mistress.

go.

Shuicao and Shuiping were little girls before, but now they are promoted to second-class girls. They are both twelve years old, and they are trained by Linxiang and Aunt Wu.

Shuixiang was getting married in September. Jiang Yixi rewarded her with two hundred taels of silver, two pairs of gold bracelets, two jade hairpins, two sets of silver-headed masks, and four bolts of satin, and asked her to leave the house to prepare for the marriage.

Shuixiang made Nanny Wu her godmother and was to get married at Wu's house. Nanny Wu helped her prepare and only came into the house to see her master every once in a while.

Shuixiang has served Jiang Yixi for nine years, and Jiang Yixi is very reluctant to leave her. But she is one year older than Jiang Yixi, and is already eighteen this year. Meng Lianshan is older, already twenty-three years old, so it is not good to delay them any longer.

Jiang Yixi was very happy for Shuixiang. In her previous life, she was beaten to death for no reason. In this life, she not only survived, but also found her husband and was about to become a bride.

Shui Ling Jie Shui Xiang's classmate is the eldest girl. Although she is a little reckless, she is loyal, has a sweet mouth, and has liveliness in her eyes. She is liked not only by Jiang Yixi, but also by almost all the elders. When she is nineteen years old, which is the next year,

When Wu Yougui is twenty, let them get married.

Linxiang will get married next year, and Meixiang will take over Linxiang's class. Meixiang is fifteen years old this year and is very useful. Jiang Yixi will keep her for two more years, and then release her to get married when she is twenty.

Jiang Yixi also likes Shui Qing, a very smart and loyal girl. She had a good impression of Grandma Qin before. She was loyal to Hu and Jiang Xun. But since Jiang Yixi learned about Hu's experience with Zheng Ji when she was young,

My impression of Grandma Qin was greatly reduced.

What Hu did was wrong, and Aunt Qin not only did not dissuade or tell her elders, but also helped spread the news, which can be said to be a helper. Hu did not dare to tell her elders the truth, otherwise Aunt Qin would have been beaten to death.

Nanny Qin was young and ignorant at that time. She learned a lesson after the Hu family's accident and became more stable. She was very loyal to her master and taught her children well.

However, Jiang Yixi just couldn't respect Nanny Qin as before, and she wouldn't give Shui Qing the chance to be promoted to the eldest daughter. When a suitable candidate is found, she will marry her off.

It was afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, the autumn breeze was refreshing, and there were already dots of small flowers on the osmanthus trees. The fragrance of the flowers was not strong, but you could still faintly smell it under the osmanthus trees.

There was a large velvet blanket spread out in the Jinyuan pavilion, and Meng Zhaocun was lying on it. He was wearing a one-piece baby clothes with his little feet caged in it, and a little tiger head hat. His limbs were waving in the air, and he said "Ah ah" from time to time.

"the sound of.

This voice was like the sound of nature, which warmed Jiang Yixi's heart.

Huahua lay next to Brother Cun and looked at him with interest. The tweets above her head were not idle either, shouting "Hua'er", "Baby" and "Beauty" all at once.

The old man suddenly came to Jinyuan with an angry look on his face.

Jiang Yixi stood up and asked, "What happened to grandfather?"

Little Cuncun also felt his great-grandfather coming, laughed out loud, and danced his limbs even more energetically.

The old man ignored them and squatted down to tend to a pot of chrysanthemums that were in full bloom.

Little Cuncun suddenly started crying loudly, as if he was extremely wronged.

Huahua and Jiujiu were both unhappy that the old man ignored their younger brother. One meowed loudly, and the other scolded "go home".

The old man stood up and asked, "Why are Cuncun crying?"

The old man also knows that this child is easy to take care of and doesn't like to cry.

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Cuncun was sad to see his great-grandfather ignored him."

The old man quickly clapped his hands and walked into Tingting's house, leaned down and picked up Cuncun.

As soon as the child entered his arms, he really stopped crying and looked at him with his big, tearful eyes.

The old man's heart melted and he said harmoniously, "Don't cry, little Cuncun, my great-grandfather cares about you."

The scowl on his face disappeared, and he teased his great-grandson with a cheerful smile.

Huahua is a good child and has never been jealous of her younger brother. Seeing that the old man likes his younger brother, she happily pulled the old man's trousers and meowed.

The old man held the baby and walked around in the brocade garden. His eyes were full of bright purple and red, and the wind carried the fragrance of flowers. The baby's "Ahhh" sounds came from time to time. Occasionally, his old face touched the soft little face, and his mood calmed down.

The little guy felt sleepy and yawned with his mouth open. The old man handed him to Mother Huang, who took him to Dongkua Yard to rest.

When the old man returned to the pavilion, Jiang Yixi served him good tea.

He took a sip before saying, "That brat is out again."

The old man was only willing to talk to Meng Cimo about some things before, but now he can also talk to his second son, second grandson, and fourth grandson. When they are away, he can only talk to Jiang Yixi, his granddaughter-in-law.

It turned out that Meng Ciyu went out to drink again.

Meng Ciyu now occasionally leaves the house, not to meet friends and enjoy the scenery, but to go to a restaurant to drink. Once he went to a prostitute and was whipped several times by the old man when he came back. Having an adulterer and having an extramarital affair is absolutely not allowed by the Meng family.

No matter how the old man tried to help him regain his confidence, Meng Ciyu couldn't listen, like mud that he couldn't carry.

Although the old man let him out intentionally, he was still very angry every time he saw Meng Ciyu come back drunk.

The old man was unwilling to give up on Meng Ciyu, hoping that after settling some matters, he could stand up again on another piece of land and live a peaceful life.

"Oh, it's a pity that a child who was so good before has died. A useless thing can't bear a little blow. Why can't he be stronger? Look at Ci Mo, it was much more difficult for him back then. His own mother died.

, was surrounded by enemies on all sides, but he persevered and grew into a real man. But he..."

He was so angry that his beard was trembling.

In front of the old man, Jiang Yixi was unwilling to say anything right or wrong about Meng Ciyu. She couldn't say he was bad, nor was she willing to say he was good.

She listened silently to the old man's scolding, and when she saw that he had finished drinking the tea, she took another cup.

At this time, Meng Chen hurried over and whispered, "Old man, I heard someone reported that Zhao Hu went to the Fuju Restaurant where the third master went."

The old man snorted coldly, got up and went to the outer courtyard.

Fuju Restaurant is two streets away from Chengguo Gongfu. It is a two-story small building and is a medium-to-high-end restaurant in the capital. It was just the end of the Shenshi period and it was still dark, so several long strings of colorful lights were already lit outside.

Several beautiful women with pipa in their arms were wandering around, looking for targets. There were also little boys selling snacks, shouting loudly, and walking among the guests.
