Chapter 338: Climb up
After lunch, many female relatives watched the meeting.
Jiang Yixi took Xiao Cuncun, Meng Zhaoan, and Zheng Tingting to Zhuoyuan. Huang Xin, Niu Xiu, and Zheng Jingjing also came because they didn't like going to the theater.
Meng Zhao'an and Meng Zhao were sleeping in the bedroom, the three girls were whispering in the side room, and Jiang Yixi and Zheng Tingting were talking in the living room.
Zheng Tingting's eyes were filled with excitement, and she was no less happy than Jiang Yixi. She seemed to have accidentally brought the topic to the affairs around Jiang Xun. She did not mention Jiang Xun's name, but she led Jiang Yixi to talk about Jiang Xun.
Jiang Yixi sighed secretly and could only say a few insignificant words.
As long as Jiang Xun is mentioned, Zheng Tingting's eyes will light up.
Jiang Yixi thought, when she and Meng Cimo admired each other, they had the same expression, right?
For such a good girl, the marriage may not go smoothly. The first man she got engaged to was a scumbag, and she finally broke off the engagement, but her reputation was greatly affected. Many people thought she was jealous and unworthy, and were unwilling to hire her.
She and Jiang Xun are both talented and beautiful, but there is an unspeakable past between them.
The laughter of the little girls in the side room could be heard from time to time.
Jiang Yixi said with emotion, "Time flies so quickly. When did we hold hands and laugh as carefree as they did? I feel like it's been a long time."
Zheng Tingting smiled and said, "How long has it been? Two years ago, when my sister-in-law was not married yet. Oh my, when my sister-in-law said this, I felt like I was old."
"You are only sixteen years old..."
Suddenly, Jiang Xun opened the door and came in.
Jiang Xun knew that his sister would take her nephew back to Zhuoyuan to rest after dinner, so he took the time to come over and wanted to talk to Jiang Yixi.
He heard the chatter and laughter of Huang Xin and the other girls, but he didn't expect Zheng Tingting to be there too, so he was stunned for a moment.
Zheng Tingting stood up and greeted, "Second Young Master Jiang."
The bright shadow was like a ray of sunshine, illuminating the small house. Jiang Xun quickly clasped his fists and returned the greeting, "Miss Zheng."
He wanted to leave, but he couldn't bear to leave and hesitated.
Jiang Yixi asked, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Xun blushed and said with a smile, "It's nothing, I just want to see my nephew." Then he looked at Zheng Tingting and smiled and said, "Miss Zheng, please sit down, I'm leaving."
Zheng Tingting's face turned bright red and she said softly, "Second Young Master Jiang, walk slowly."
The footsteps were full of joy. Even if you didn't see the person, you knew how happy he was at this time.
Zheng Tingting sat down, blinked her eyes, and said unintentionally, "In this autumn exam, almost all candidates are over twenty years old..."
She wanted Jiang Yixi to say, yes, my brother is only sixteen years old, how young and capable my brother is.
Jiang Yixi did not answer her words, "Next month, we will go to Zhaoming Temple to see the treasures. I miss her."
Zheng Tingting smiled and said, "Okay, let's call my elder brother..."
If you call Zheng Yu, Zheng Yu will call Meng Cimo and Jiang Xun.
Jiang Xun will take a ten-day holiday. Before spring, he will still go to Jingwu Hall for classes.
Jiang Yixi knew what she was thinking and said, "General Zheng is currently in the Fifth Regiment Camp, Xunli is close to Zhaoming Nunnery. I heard from my uncle that General Zheng will take time to see the treasures every few days."
This year Li Zhenbao has been even more difficult than in previous years. His life was hanging by a thread several times. Yu and Master did not dare to go out for a wander. They would go to Zhaoming Temple every ten days.
Seeing Li Zhenbao's suffering with her own eyes, Zheng Yu felt very sad and would run to Zhao'an whenever she had time.
Zheng Tingting thought to herself and said, "After seeing the treasures, we stayed in Huzhuang for a day and asked my eldest brother and Meng to come over for dinner. They will live in Mengjiazhuang."
She has arranged her itinerary.
Jiang Yixi couldn't refuse, so she thought of pushing the schedule to after Jiang Xun went to Jingwu Hall.
At the beginning of Shenshi, the guests left one after another.
The housekeeper in the front yard gave a gift list to Mrs. Jiang.
Seeing so many gifts, including princes, princes, ministers, dukes and lords...the old lady smiled sourly and grinned again.
"Even if the old man is still alive, our Jiang family has never had so many distinguished guests. Glory, glory, the Jiang family has risen in my hands."
Uncle Jiang and the third master were also excited.
Although King Wen and Crown Prince Yong had no real power, King Wen was the emperor's biological son, and Li Kai was one of the Queen Mother's most beloved grandsons. Prince Ping's Palace and Cui Cifu's Palace also sent gifts... This good reputation spread.
The old lady looked at Jiang Xun with loving eyes, "My good grandson, he has a promising future."
Jiang Xun hesitated and said confidently, "I will follow the example of Grandfather Meng and General Zheng, and I will be more promising in the future."
He didn't dare to say that he wanted to guard the border. He would have to wait until spring.
The third master smiled happily, "Well done, you have ambition." He then said to Jiang Fei and Jiang Wen, "I must learn from your second brother."
Jiang Fei and Jiang Wen stood up and bowed to Jiang Xun, "We will follow our second brother's example."
The old lady smiled happily and said, "The eldest brother from the Meng family came to our house to learn from Xun'er." After a pause, she added, "Xun'er is seventeen at the end of the new year. Many of the younger generations are asking for wives at this age.
. He was admitted to the Juren Examination again, and many people came to talk to him as matchmakers..."
Uncle Jiang smiled and said, "Mom, leave Xun'er's marriage to Xi Yatou. Duke Chengguo's office has more connections than us."
Through today, Mr. Jiang knows better how much benefit the second wife will bring to the Jiang family. The better Jiang Xun is, the better the Jiang family will be.
After dinner, everyone left, and the third master was left behind. He wanted to have a few words with the old lady in private.
The old lady loves money, so it is impossible to leave all these gifts to her second wife. But she must be reminded to make a good account and give Jiang Xun a share. When Jiang Xun marries his wife, more than half of the gifts will be returned to him. Don't mess with their siblings.
Not happy, I will go to many more in the future...
Although the three heads of the house are not divided into separate households, most of the gifts received by each house belong to that house. Jiang Xun has no parents, so the gifts are kept by the old lady.
The old lady's face darkened after hearing this.
"The second brother and his wife died early. Xi Yatou and Xun'er were raised by the old woman. What's wrong with showing some respect to the old woman?"
The third master said, "Mom, our house has received so many gifts today, and so many distinguished guests have come, and all we can see are their siblings. Let's talk about Guo's family, has he been to our house before?"
That snobby guy didn't even come to the old lady's birthday.
Three days later, Zheng Tingting sent someone to send a message to Jiang Yixi, asking her to go to Zhaoming Temple to visit Li Zhenbao, but Jiang Yi found an excuse to decline. Six days later, Zheng Tingting sent someone to send a message to Jiang Yixi, but Jiang Yixi still declined.
At the beginning of winter, Jiang Xun went to Jingwu Hall again for class.
During the vacation, Jiang Xun also came to Fu'anju, but Jiang Yixi didn't tell him about Hu and Zheng Ji. She told him to prepare for the spring vacation and talk about it after the spring vacation.
On the sixth day of the lunar month, Mrs. Jiang San came to Fushengju.
Jiang Yiyan and Qi Anbai are engaged. They are both older and are scheduled to get married on February 18th next year.
The preparation time is only two months, so there is no rush.
Jiang Yixi said, "Climb up to Pingyuan Hou Mansion and congratulate her."
Mrs. Jiang San sneered and shook her head, "My master has tried to persuade me. Girl Yan, uncle, and the old lady are all willing, so I have to let them go. Ouch, Girl Yan really thinks she has got into some good family. Even I don't think so."
It’s not rare to take care of it.”
