Jiang Da went to the front yard to kowtow to Jiang Xun, and asked Shuiling to kowtow to the second girl on his behalf.

He didn't expect that he would be rewarded by the emperor for going to see a play with his master and earn so much money at once. Since last night, several groups of matchmakers have gone to his house to talk about matchmaking, and several groups went to his house this morning.

Even though he is still a little lame, there may be hope for the girl he only dares to think about in his dreams...

In the evening, the third master went back to his house and heard about the distribution of rewards, and he felt a little resentful in his heart. The children have made such great contributions, and the elders should reward them. How can they withhold the rewards from the emperor and the rewards from the yamen, and express gratitude to others without fear of spreading the news?

Make people laugh.

But even if he stayed, he couldn't say much.

After he returned to his yard, he asked the girl to give Jiang Xun a horsewhip with a carved copper handle as a token of encouragement.

Jiang Xun liked this whip very much and went to the third room to bow to the third master and his wife and say thank you.

The twentieth day was the last day of long vacation for Jiang Xun and Jiang Fei. They both quietly asked the old lady for leave and wanted to take their sisters out for a day.

The old lady and the two grandchildren from the third room liked her very much. Jiang Xun had just earned honor and money for the family, so he let them go.

The third lady was informed of this matter in advance. The third lady was almost crying when she saw her daughter, and when she heard that they were watching alone, instead of watching it with men in the theater, she agreed.

Before getting off the carriage, Jiang Yixi and Jiang Yirou changed into men's clothes.

It was already midnight, and there were no performances in the theater in the morning. A few actors were rehearsing on the stage, and more actors were adjusting their voices and doing somersaults in the yard. It was very lively.

The gatekeeper knew Jiang Xun, and after receiving the order from the class leader, he bowed down and invited them to the side room.

Jiang Xun said, "They are my elder sister and younger brother. I want to hear a few scenes."

The man bowed down.

The troupe leader came over personally to say hello, and ordered some good tea and some candied melon seeds and other snacks. He then smiled and said, "Caiyunqing is no longer on stage, so she can only sing a few times here for the two gentlemen and two girls."

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Since she doesn't sing anymore, let's replace her with someone else."

The class leader wiped his sweat. He had already seen some tricks, and he didn't want Caiyunqing to come out to sing again.

After a while, three piano players came in, and finally a Qingyi and an old lady came in. They were all wearing costumes and makeup.

Jiang Xun and Jiang Fei like to watch martial arts dramas, but don't like "hum hum ji ji" literary operas. From time to time, their eyes drift to the people doing somersaults outside the window.

But Jiang Yirou likes it, so it's not easy for them to replace him.

After singing three excerpts of the opera, it was already noon.

Jiang Yirou hasn't seen enough yet.

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "Okay, I'll listen to you later."

Jiang Xun rewarded those people with five taels of silver.

As soon as they walked out of the theater gate, they saw an old acquaintance - Li Jiao's wet nurse, Mama Guo, and two other people from Prince Wen's palace.

Mother Guo and Jiang Yixi smiled and entered the theater.

Jiang Xun was also thoughtful, "Prince Wen's Mansion won't be so kind to the servants. Let them come out to watch a show now?"

Jiang Yixi whispered to him, "It should be that King Wen is inconvenient to go out right now, so he sent someone to say something to Caiyun Qing, or to give him something."

Jiang Xun nodded in understanding. He also remembered the way King Wen looked at Caiyun Qing that day.

Entering February, the weather is getting warmer, and the few red plum trees in the garden are blooming more vigorously.

Thinking of Meng Cimo who was about to come back, Jiang Yixi's heart was filled with sweetness. When Meng Cimo comes back, his eyes will be "healed" and he will no longer have to work hard to pretend to be blind. I don't know how disappointed Mrs. Meng will be. And Li Zhenbao,

I heard that I can now walk a few steps around the house.

The only thing is that she hasn't finished the things Li Zhenbao told her yet.

Jiang Yixi is looking for an opportunity to launch her in a place where there are many noble women and make a big splash.

The place where there are many noble ladies is, of course, the flower banquet. The two most famous ones recently are the red plum banquet and the peach blossom banquet.

The red plum banquet hosted by Princess Pinghe at the end of the first year has already been held. Because of Meng Yue's relationship, Jiang Yixi would not go to the Huang Mansion, and Princess Pinghe did not send a message to Jiang Yixi.

In mid-March, the eldest princess of Yichang will hold a peach blossom banquet. Based on the relationship between Zheng Ji and Meng Laoguo's grandson, she will also send messages to Jiang Yixi. Although it is Jiang Yixi's sad place, in order to complete the tasks assigned by Li Zhenbao

, Jiang Yixi pinched her nose and wanted to go.

At noon on the second day of February, Jiang Yixi was doing embroidery, Huahua was talking boredly to Jiujiu, and Grandma Wu came.

Jiang Yixi asked Uncle Wu to secretly follow Chen Er to Tangzhou to inquire about the purchase of land.

Aunt Wu said that when Uncle Wu came back from Tangzhou, Manager Chen Er sent by Mrs. Jiang bought 800 acres of slope land in Chang County, Tangzhou, at a cost of 4 taels and 9 silver per acre. He also bought a house with a garden and a plum grove.

Zhuangzi spent one hundred taels of silver.

Jiang Yixi sneered. The land and Zhuangzi were the same as in the previous life, and the price in the deed in the previous life was, 800 acres of second-class land, six taels of silver per mu, and Zhuangzi's one hundred and eighty taels of silver.

Wait until Mrs. Jiang gives the deed to the old lady. If the deed is false, let’s talk about it later.

When they heard that Grandma Wu's daughter-in-law was pregnant, Jiang Yixi was also happy for them and rewarded her family with another ten taels of silver.

When Aunt Wu returned to Zhuangzi the next day, Jiang Yixi made some snacks and brought them to Li Zhenbao and Mengjiazhuang, and asked Huahua to play with them for a few days.

After Grandma Wu left, Jiang Yirou came over to do embroidery work with Jiang Yixi. The sachet she made for Jiang Yixi had been finished, and she was making shoes for Jiang Xun.

Jiang Yixi glanced at it and said angrily, "Why are boys' shoes so complicated to make?"

Jiang Yirou pouted and said, "This is my first time making something for my second brother, so of course I have to make it better."

She and Jiang Xun are both fourteen years old this year, but she is two months older.

The hairpin came to report, and the old lady invited Jiang Yixi to Ruyi Hall.

Jiang Yirou was also in Zhuoyuan, but only Jiang Yixi was invited.

Jiang Yirou asked curiously, "Sister Baohan, why does grandma call her second sister?"

Baohan smiled and said, "I don't know, I don't know. However, Aunt Xia from Zheng Shaobao's Mansion is here."

Zheng Shaobao Mansion?

Jiang Yixi was a little confused. She didn't know anyone named Zheng.

She knew that Zheng Shaobao was the younger brother of Mr. Zheng’s consort, and he had an official title of Shaobao. When he was a young man, he fought with Mr. Meng on the battlefield, and he was basically his deputy. He was seriously injured more than ten years ago and stopped fighting.

After a battle, he now has the false title of Shaobao.

He has a son who is the deputy commander of Xi Daying and the second highest ranking officer of Mr. Jiang San. Deputy Commander Zheng occasionally visits Mengjiazhuang as a guest, and Jiang Xun has even met him.

Zheng Shaobao also has an identity, that is, the second uncle of Zheng Ji, the original owner of Jiujiu.

Jiang Yirou also knew that Deputy Commander Zheng was her father's best friend, so she looked at Jiang Yixi with great envy.

Jiang Yixi changed into the clothes she wore when meeting guests, and went to Ruyi Hall with Baohan.

In Ruyi Hall, there was a strange woman sitting on a brocade stool talking and laughing with Mrs. Jiang.

Jiang Yixi bowed her knee and bowed to the old lady. The old lady pointed at the strange woman and said with a smile, "This is Aunt Xia from Zheng Shaobao Mansion."
