Chapter 79: Asking for Marriage
Meng Cimo said, "The phoenix hairpin is the jewelry left by my mother, and the emerald is what I gained during the war. When you look at them, you can think of me..." He felt that it was not good to use these two bright jewelry to compare himself, and
Added, "Think of me well."
The emerald is as big as the pad of your thumb. It is crystal clear and dazzling. It is very expensive at first glance. Looking at the appearance, the emerald is much more valuable than the phoenix hairpin inlaid with treasures, but the hairpin was left by Meng Cimo's mother.
heavier.
Jiang Yixi smiled and nodded, picked up the hairpin and said, "It's so beautiful."
Meng Cimo smiled. Most of the dowry and relics left by his mother were used as dowry for his sister. He only left a few pieces of jewelry for him, and they were not in good condition. This one is the best.
After lunch, they will rush back to the Duke's Mansion and set off southward tomorrow morning.
Jiang Yixi put Meng Cimo into the carriage. At this time, they only had eyes for each other. They didn't notice that Meng Lianshan glanced at Shuixiang a few more times. Shuixiang's face turned red with embarrassment. He still stood behind the girl, watching the carriage drive away.
It's full of reluctance.
The carriage disappeared for a long time, and Jiang Yixi was still standing at the gate of the courtyard looking at the path.
Aunt Wu couldn't help but persuade her, "Girl, it's windy here, don't get cold."
Jiang Yixi turned around and went back to the house.
The night swallowed up the last trace of afterglow, and light snow began to fall in the sky.
Jiang Yixi sat blankly on the kang, holding Huahua in her arms. Huahua knew that her master was in a bad mood, so she obediently used her as a pillow. The servant did not dare to say a word loudly, and even chirped noisily and dozed off with her mouth closed.
The military courtyard was extremely quiet, even Jiang Yixi's occasional sighs of regret were so obvious.
Huahua was really hungry, so she meowed, "Master, Huahua is hungry."
Only then did Jiang Yixi notice that it was getting dark. At some point, the girl came in and lit the lamp.
He raised his voice and said, "Let's eat."
After the meal, Jiang Yixi was full of strength again. Meng Cimo left briefly in order to stay together better in the future. Meng Cimo was right, when the Meng family went to propose marriage, the old lady would definitely let her go back to live in her house.
She has only been in Huzhuang for half a year, but she has accumulated a lot of belongings. She has to sort out what can be taken home and what can be kept here. She also needs to make some more snacks for Li Zhenbao...
Huahua heard that her master was returning to the mansion soon, and wanted to play in the woods for a few more days. She also wanted to bring some cakes to Aunt Bear and Aunt Ape, who played well with him. As for Brother Tiger and Uncle Leopard, they only eat raw meat.
No matter how fragrant the braised meat is, I don’t like it.
Jiang Yixi had already made a shoulder bag according to the pattern Huahua said. She put the small bag on its back and put some snacks in it. She also told her to come back early, otherwise she would leave it in the village.
She went around the warehouse and looked at the precious flowers and plants inside and outside the house, as well as the birdcage on the porch.
The old lady and the big house are both greedy for money, so they cannot bring back big and famous things. The old lady has a taste for Xilan, so she only brought a pot of famous orchids as a gift, and a few more pots of less expensive ones to put in her yard. Tweet
I must take it back, saying that the old man wants to see it occasionally, and no one else will leave it no matter what.
The Wu family father and son and Qin Lin will continue to stay here. Shuizhu definitely doesn't want to enter Jiang Mansion and leave Nanny Wu behind temporarily...
While Jiang Yixi was thinking secretly, Nanny Wu laughed quietly and said, "Girl, Shuixiang seems to have an eye with Manager Lianshan."
Jiang Yixi was startled, "Really?"
"This old slave will not be mistaken. Manager Lianshan and Shuixiang looked at each other several times, with admiration in their eyes..."
Jiang Yixi was also happy for Shuixiang.
Shuixiang is already fifteen years old. She was beaten to death in a few months in her previous life without even mentioning her marriage. Meng Lianshan is Meng Cimo’s absolute confidant. He is trusted by the Meng family’s descendants even more than Meng Qingshan and Meng Gaoshan. He has a bright future.
Especially Jiang Xun's love and respect.
When Shuixiang served Jiang Yixi to bed, Jiang Yixi asked with a smile, "You and Brother Lianshan are hiding something from me?"
Shuixiang blushed, but still lowered her head and murmured, "Brother Lianshan gave away his gains from the war like a slave..."
Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Brother Lianshan is very good. Congratulations."
Early the next morning, Jiang Yixi took people to make the snacks that Li Zhenbao liked to eat. At the beginning of the day, she took Wu Yougui and Shuiling, who were carrying four food boxes, to Zhaohe Nunnery.
Li Zhenbao's small courtyard is quiet.
Aunt Chai heard that Jiang Yixi was returning to the capital soon and asked her to say a few words to Li Zhenbao outside the window.
Li Zhenbao was still making medicinal soup, and he was in a daze. He might be able to hear it, or he might not be able to hear it.
Jiang Yixi raised her voice and said, "Master Dieting, I'm going home. You will take good care of your body. As before, your future life will be as beautiful as flowers. Hold on, everything will be fine. Even though I'm going
Beijing, I will always think of you in my heart, and people will send you food regularly."
Li Zhenbao's weak voice said, "It's a deal, don't forget me."
Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "You can't forget me either. When you can meet outsiders, let someone tell me and I will play with you."
"Okay. Remember, take those two little things I taught you to the capital and send them out."
Jiang Yixi secretly laughed, it was like this, and she still worried about those two little things spreading in the capital. In this way, Li Zhenbao was full of hope for the future no matter how painful it was at this time.
She smiled and said, "Don't worry, I will always remember it."
Aunt Chai was afraid that Li Zhenbao would be too excited, so she urged, "Second Miss Jiang has finished speaking, please."
Jiang Yixi left the courtyard and went to the main hall to worship the Buddha and Bodhisattvas. She also had a vegetarian meal at Zhaoming Temple before returning to Huzhuang.
At noon on the fourth day of the winter lunar month, Yingluo came, smiling more humbly than before, and presented a letter from Uncle Jiang.
The letter said that the Meng family had gone to the Jiang family to propose marriage, and the old lady agreed to it. Although the marriage had not been finalized, she, a girl, could no longer live in the countryside by herself and would return to Beijing immediately.
Jiang Yixi snorted coldly. He had driven her to Zhuangzi and wanted to summon her back with a letter?
She said coldly, "Go back and tell your grandmother and uncle that I have been in Zhuangzi for half a year and I reflect on what I have done all the time. I feel that I have not completely calmed down and my soul has not been redeemed. I still need to continue to reflect on what I should do."
Do what you do so as not to bring shame to the Jiang family and bring trouble."
Not only was there no reward for Yingluo this time, he didn't even leave any lunch.
At noon on the fifth day of the lunar month, Mr. Jiang, Mrs. Jiang San and Jiang Xun came to Huzhuang together.
Mr. Jiang San and his wife were all smiling, and looked at Jiang Yixi even more eagerly.
Jiang Xun also had a happy face and said with a smile, "Sister, Duke Chengguo has invited Mr. Wang Laohou to come to our house to make an agreement and propose to marry my sister on behalf of Brother Meng. I never thought that Brother Meng would become my brother-in-law, hehe
…”
He was so happy that he couldn't sleep for the past two days.
Although Nanny Wu and the other servants already knew that Prince Meng and her girl had the same affection, they couldn't help but be overjoyed when they heard that the Meng family had gone to propose marriage and the old lady had agreed. They all congratulated Jiang Yixi.
Jiang Yixi pretended to be shy, lowered her head and twisted the veil.
Mrs. Jiang San smiled and said, "Congratulations, little girl Xi. We are all happy for you to have this noble family. The old lady and uncle are all happy for you. However, you cannot continue to live in the Zhuangzi and must move back to the mansion."
