Spring in Beijing

Three months have passed in the blink of an eye, and it is already mid-October.

Under the leadership of Master Yu He, high-yielding crops were grown in Jiangnan and Huguang areas, which greatly alleviated the disaster. This major event would benefit the entire Jin Dynasty and make the emperor and civil and military officials unable to help themselves.

Mr. Meng and Mr. Shen, the genius doctor, still lived in Huzhuang and were happy to miss Shu. During this period, the old man only went home twice on August 17th and September 6th, once when Xiao Yin'er turned one year old and once when his fourth grandson Meng Ciyan got married.

.

The old miracle doctor tasted his favorite delicacies three times and was still reluctant to leave. He listed the ones he wanted to try a fourth time.

Prince Ping's insomnia was also cured, and he gained a lot of weight.

When Concubine Qu De recruited Jiang Yixi into the palace, she said that Prince Ping had not lost his temper during this period. Of course, nothing major happened that made Prince Ping particularly angry in the past few months. The medicine has been stopped, and Concubine Qu De will continue to enlighten her son.

"Five Dynasties Rivers, Mountains and Winds"

On the tenth day of October, on the eve of Jiang Yishan's wedding, at the strong suggestion of Uncle Jiang and the Third Master, the Jiang family privately separated.

The old lady lived with the big house, and the three heads continued to live in Uncle Wu Xiang's house. After the old lady died, the second and third rooms moved out.

The reason for the separation of the family was that the first and third households had a dispute over money, and they were unwilling to share food in the same pot. Part of it was indeed this reason, and the other was Uncle Jiang's promise to Meng Cimo.

The old man sang a play with the old lady.

The old lady was unwilling, but also unwilling to have a quarrel with her beloved eldest son and her third son. She was even more afraid that the quarrel between the brothers would spread and affect their good future, so she gritted her teeth and agreed.

The front yard, the back garden, and the stables are shared. The large room in the inner courtyard occupies half of the area, and the second and third bedrooms share the other half. There are fewer people in the second room, and there is currently no hostess. The inner courtyard occupies a smaller area than the third room, and only Jiang Yixi lived there before.

Zhuoyuan and the adjacent Jiang Yirou courtyard and the surrounding area.

In addition to the 4,000 taels of silver that was supposed to be given to Jiang Xun as a betrothal gift, he was also given another 6,000 taels of silver, 800 acres of land, some ornaments, and four rooms of slaves.

These things may sound like a lot, but after marrying a daughter-in-law and buying a house, there won't be much left. Moreover, half of the gifts that the old lady gave Jiang Xun as "escrows" have not yet been handed over.

Even so, Jiang Xun is willing.

The old lady also made Jiang Xun promise that when he becomes successful in the future, he will not forget the kindness of his uncle and third uncle.

Of course, you still have to show filial piety to your elders when you should, and spend the holidays together even though they are financially separate.

After this incident, the old lady also withered.

On the 18th, the first snow fell in the sky this year, and the temperature dropped suddenly.

Today Jiang Yishan is getting married, and Jiang Yixi is taking Xiao Cuncun, Huang Xin, and Meng Xiu back to the Jiang family for the wedding banquet.

The old lady was not in good health, so she took her children to the main courtyard where Mrs. Jiang lived.

Jiang Yishan was a concubine, and the palace family was not well-known. Most of the people who came to congratulate her were relatives, and there were only a few down-and-out nobles and low-level officials like Uncle Jiang.

Meng Cimo, the most honorable son-in-law of the Jiang family, could not come to protect the emperor and his concubines. The prince went to the Fuxiang Hall of the Royal Taoist Temple.

Even the third son-in-law Qi Anbai didn't come.

Uncle Jiang especially hoped that King Wen and Prince Yong would come to congratulate him out of nowhere like last time, but unfortunately they didn't come until almost noon.

Fortunately, Princess Zhenbao and the Zheng family sent people to send congratulatory gifts, which made Wu Xiangbo's house more respectable.

All four sisters of the Jiang family came back. Three of them brought their children with their faces happy. Jiang Yiyan came back alone, looking angry, as if someone had offended her.

The look came from the heart, and the fierce light in Jiang Yiyan's eyes was even stronger than when he was at his parents' home.

Jiang Yishan sat cross-legged on the bed, and everyone said auspicious words. Guo Jie and Cun Cun's children looked at the bride without blinking, praising her beauty.

The happiness and joy in Jiang Yishan's eyes made Jiang Yiyan's chest hurt. She opened her mouth, but she still didn't dare to speak nonsense in front of Jiang Yixi. Not only her family, but also her husband's family would not allow her to offend Jiang Yixi.

As soon as Jiang Yixi came out of the house, she curled her lips and said, "How can an eighth-grade official and a concubine live such a good life and be so successful?"

She was particularly uncomfortable. The little concubine who didn't even dare to raise her head in front of her was getting married, and it was even more exciting than when she was getting married.

Tears welled up in Jiang Yishan's eyes and she bit her lips without speaking.

Jiang Yirou snorted coldly, "As long as husband and wife are harmonious, ordinary people can live happily. They are often beaten, no matter how big the official is, no matter how much money they have, what's the use."

The second half of the sentence directly poked Jiang Yiyan's pain point.

Jiang Yiyan said angrily, "Jiang Yirou, if you dare, say it again."

Jiang Yihui frowned and said, "Third sister, this is Fourth sister's big day. If you dare to cause trouble, just leave. Don't go back to your parents' home again."

This was the first time she lost her temper, and it was also the first time she used her eldest sister's money.

A sister-in-law from the clan quickly persuaded Jiang Yiyan to leave.

Amidst a burst of firecrackers and silk music, the groom came to pick up the bride. Jiang Jin carried the bride into the sedan chair, and several brothers from the Jiang family went to see her off.

Everyone was talking and laughing, but there was no sadness about a married woman. There was only one woman hiding in the corner wiping her tears. She was Jiang Yishan's aunt. Today, she had a seat, sitting on an embroidered pier in the hall, watching the fourth girl and the fourth girl.

My uncle kowtowed to Uncle Jiang and his wife to say goodbye.

After the wedding banquet, we watched a play.

Jiang Yixi didn't like going to the theater and took Xiao Cuncun to rest. Jiang Yihui took Guo Jie to the second room with them.

The inner courtyard has been divided into three courtyards with brick walls.

The courtyard of the second bedroom has not been cleaned up yet, so everything is as it is. In the future, the two small courtyards will be opened up and renovated to accommodate the mistress. Two more wing rooms will be built on the north side to serve as a kitchen and for the servants to live in.

This place is very cramped. If Zheng Tingting were to marry and live here, she would indeed be wronged. This is only temporary. It will be fine if she moves out in the future.

Little Cuncun had fallen asleep, and the wet nurse took him to the side room to rest. Jiang Yixi and Jiang Yihui talked about family affairs, while Guo Jie sat aside and read the Thousand-Character Essay in an honest manner.

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Brother Jie, if you work so hard, you will definitely be successful in the future."

Jiang Yihui smiled softly, "I'm looking forward to it too."

Jiang Yixi looked at Guo Jie's side face. His skin was as white as jade, his nose was straight and slightly hooked, his big, black eyes were staring at the book seriously, and his small mouth was opening and closing as he read silently.

Jiang Yixi always felt that he looked like someone, not just Zhao Yuancheng or someone from the Zhao family.

When Jiang Yihui interrupted, the doubt disappeared again.

At the beginning of Shenshi, the opera was over and the guests left one after another. Jiang Yixi and others went to Ruyi Hall to say goodbye to the old lady, then went to the front yard to meet Meng Cimo and left Jiang's house together.

It was already dark when we returned to Duke Cheng's Mansion, so they went directly to Fu'an Hall.

Xiaoyin'er burst into tears again when she found out that her mother's brother was a guest.

Xiao Cuncun ran over and coaxed, "Sister, my mother and brother have been thinking of you. Here, this is for you."

He handed over a "lollipop" from the food store in his left hand, and a small wooden doll carved by his uncle in his right hand.

Yin'er cried loudly and didn't waste time grabbing things with her hands.

Jiang Yixi smiled and hugged her over, "It's too cold outside..."
