Chapter 405: Foreign Man
The sun sets in the west, and the clouds on the sky become more and more colorful.
Duke Cheng Guo and Master Meng returned home and were invited to the study room.
Before entering the yard, I heard Cun Cun and Yin'er's laughter coming from inside, mixed with the meowing of cats and Zheng Ji's laughter.
Duke Cheng Guo and Master Meng looked at each other.
This is the wooden studio, the outer study room where men of the Meng family discuss important matters and entertain distinguished guests. It is always solemn and silent.
Why are children, outsiders, and even cats allowed to run wild here?
When they entered the yard, the two of them were even more surprised. Zheng Ji was holding Yin'er and holding Cun Cun's hand, and Hua Hua was running and jumping around them. The three of them and the cat were having a great time.
How long has it been since Zheng Ji smiled like this? It seems like he was still a teenager.
Master Meng raised his hands and said with a smile, "General Zheng, why are you so cheerful?"
Duke Cheng Guo looked unhappy, this scene bothered him.
He is the grandfather of those two children. He has never hugged his grandchildren, and their grandchildren have never been so warm to him. Why is Zheng Ji, a foreign man, hugging his granddaughter, licking his face and smiling like this?
.
Duke Cheng Guo said with a deadpan smile, "General Zheng, your son is about to get married. Let your daughter-in-law have more grandchildren. You will have a lot of fun holding her."
Zheng Ji's face froze. He knew that Meng Daoming, this idiot, had always been unkind to his son-in-law, and he was also not kind to his daughter and grandchildren. He had been unhappy for a long time, but it was hard to say it out.
After hearing this, Zheng Ji sneered, "Don't worry, Mr. Meng, I will definitely be happy when I have my own grandchildren, just like I am now. I won't be like Mr. Meng, who doesn't know how to cherish such well-behaved grandchildren.
Not as good as me."
As he spoke, he kissed Yin'er, who kissed him back. He leaned over and picked up Cun Cun with his other arm, kissed Cun Cun, and Cun Cun kissed him back.
Yin'er's pro-Zheng Ji simply likes Zheng Ji. But besides liking Zheng Ji, Cun-cun's pro-Zheng Ji also does it to show her grandfather.
He saw that his grandfather was not close to him and his sister, and he did not want to get close to his grandfather.
Duke Cheng Guo refused to admit that he did not cherish his grandchildren. He walked over and stretched out his hand and said, "Cun Cun, Yin'er, come here, let me hold you in my arms."
Cuncun and Yin'er both looked at him expressionlessly. Zheng Ji snorted, turned around and walked towards the house.
Duke Cheng Guo wanted to chase him, but was startled by a sharp meow.
Huahua was standing in front of him.
Duke Cheng Guo instinctively raised his leg to kick Huahua, but then pulled back. His father treated the cat much better than he treated him. If he dared to kick it, he would beat him.
Not long after, Meng Cimo also came back.
After the food and wine were served, Zheng Jicai reluctantly let go of the two children, and the wet nurse took them back to the inner courtyard.
Seeing Zheng Ji's reluctance, Mr. Meng Er laughed and said, "General Zheng also wants to tease his grandson."
Zheng Ji smiled and said, "I didn't know how to cherish children when I was young, but now I care less about children."
Before Cheng Guogong could get out of his anger, he sneered at him, "General Zheng is less than forty years old and is still young. I have two concubines and will give you a bunch of children. You can be as rare as you want..." Why bother?
I hate other people's children.
I didn't dare to say the last half of the sentence.
Zheng Ji snorted coldly, "Do you think I'm one of those fools? Huh, a good woman doesn't know how to cherish her, and she misses my concubine every day."
Duke Cheng knew that he was scolding him and was just about to retort when he saw the old Duke giving him a cold look and did not dare to say anything. He was so angry that he was not only inferior to a cat, but also inferior to an outsider.
The next day Zheng Ji did not come to the Chengguo Duke's Mansion, but went to the palace to discuss state affairs with the emperor and important ministers for a day. On the third day, he came to the Chengguo Duke's Mansion to play again, and then every two or three days to play with his children.
He wanted to come every day, but he knew he couldn't be so willful.
Jiang Yixi followed Hu's last wish and her own intention, not to have much contact with Zheng Ji, and did not recognize his biological father. However, she was unwilling to prevent Zheng Ji from contacting Cun Cun and Yin'er. It was not easy for Zheng Ji, and she did not want him to live in trouble.
Too bitter.
On February 19th, Jiang Yixi was finally able to go out after half a month of confinement.
After breakfast, she went to Fu'an Hall to greet the old man and the old lady, and then took Mei Xiang to the Council Hall to distribute matters.
When I returned to Fusheng Residence, I saw the old Mr. Guo holding a pair of scissors and tending to the flowers and plants in Jinyuan. There were a circle of children standing next to him, including Cuncun, Brother Yi and Yin'er.
In the blink of an eye, spring comes again. Spring in Jinyuan still comes earlier than in other places. Many flowers elsewhere have not yet bloomed, but here the garden is already full of spring colors.
Jiang Yixi did not enter Fushengju, but turned around and went to Jinyuan.
She said a few words to the old Duke, then smiled and said, "I would like to ask my grandfather to help Xun'er go to the Zheng Mansion to negotiate a marriage."
The old man raised his head and said with a smile, "Jiang Xun, that boy has a good vision. Tingting is not bad, from a good background, a good person, cheerful and manly. I am optimistic about both children, so the old man will do a good deed."
He was willing to negotiate a marriage, not only because he was optimistic about Jiang Xun and Zheng Tingting, but he was also willing to promote the marriage, and the Chengguo Palace and the Zheng Family became an in-law.
In the afternoon, Jiang Yixi sent someone to deliver a letter to the Jiang family. Tomorrow she had something important to go back to the Jiang family to discuss with the old lady, Uncle Jiang, and the third master.
Mrs. Jiang suffered a loss in front of Mrs. Xie last time. She was afraid that the old lady would cause trouble, so Uncle Jiang and the third master had to be at home.
As soon as she sent the people away, Cuncun and Yin'er, who had rested for a while, were brought to the room by the wet nurse.
Li Zhenbao said that children should get more sun exposure, which is called "calcium supplementation".
Jiang Yixi led two children and a cat to play under the big tree.
At this time, the spring light is just right, neither cold nor hot. The sun shines through the branches and leaves that are not too dense, and it shines warmly on people.
He was also happy when he tweeted, and he recited love poems at the top of his voice.
At this time, the woman from the outer courtyard came to report that General Zheng had come to play chess with the old man. The old man asked Cuncun and Yin'er to be taken to the front yard.
The mother-in-law said again, "Mr. Zheng also invited me to take brother Cun, Eryin and sister, to play with Princess Dachang tomorrow."
Jiang Yixi's face darkened. By letting Cuncun and Yin'er go to the eldest princess's house to play, were they actually asking the eldest princess and the old consort to watch them, right?
She didn't stop the children from interacting with Zheng Ji, but she didn't want them to interact with the eldest princess. If it weren't for the old lady beating up the mandarin ducks, there wouldn't have been so many things later. If Jiang Chen hadn't rescued the Hu family in the dark, Hu would have
Shi and her life were long gone.
She didn't like that old lady at all.
Jiang Yixi said, "No, I have to take the child back to Jiang's house tomorrow."
Zheng Ji is a smart person. She refused so simply and hoped that she would not make unreasonable requests again in the future, otherwise she would not even see his face.
Cuncun, Yin'er, and Huahua heard that Grandpa Zheng was here again, and they all walked outside impatiently.
Huahua ran at the front, followed closely by Cuncun. Yin'er was so anxious that she cried "Wow".
"Huahua, brother, wait, Yinyin is crying."
Huahua and Cuncun couldn't bear Yin'er's cry, so they braked suddenly and looked back.
The wet nurse picked up Yin'er, and they and the cat walked out.
Chapter completed!
