Chapter 288 Zheng Ji returns to Beijing
Back at Fusheng Residence, Jiang Yixi opened the brocade box, which contained a pair of top-quality red jade bracelets, which were bright, delicate and translucent.
Jiang Yixi remembered that the eldest princess often wore these bracelets.
Items that are personal and precious, Princess Yichang must be telling herself how much she values herself.
Jiang Yixi curled her lips, then picked up the gift list and looked at it. The jewelry and ornaments were worth more than a thousand taels of silver.
She said to Aunt Wu, "Put these things in the warehouse."
On the morning of the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, Jiang Yixi went to Yichang's Dachang Princess Mansion again.
I was supposed to go to the doctor tomorrow, but a few days ago I received the news that Zheng Ji and Meng Ciyue returned to Beijing on the eighth day of the lunar month. Jiang Yixi sent someone to deliver a letter to the eldest princess yesterday, saying that she had something to do tomorrow and would go to the doctor today.
Jiang Yixi knew that she could not avoid meeting Zheng Ji, so she instinctively wanted to delay it.
The eldest princess thought Jiang Yixi was sensible and was unwilling to treat her when her family was reunited.
She held Jiang Yixi's hand and smiled, "You kid, you just think too much..."
He started talking about Zheng Ji again.
Jiang Yixi didn't want to hear it. She had said these words several times, but she was too embarrassed to interrupt her.
Finally, Zheng Tingting smiled and said, "Grandma, Sister-in-law Meng is waiting to finish the acupuncture on you. You can talk after the acupuncture is done."
The eldest princess laughed when she was told this.
After the idlers left, Jiang Yixi began to wash her eyes and give her eye injections...
More than a quarter of an hour later, there was another person outside the room, silently watching the eldest princess and her.
Zheng Ji is back.
Traveling day and night, he came back one day early.
Afraid of affecting Jiang Yixi's "eye needle", no one dared to make any noise when Zheng Ji came back.
Zheng Ji kowtowed to Mr. Zheng's consort in the hall, then went to the side room to look inside.
At the end of the layers of curtains, on a bed inlaid with gold and jade, an old lady was lying on the bed. Only the hair below her chest and above her forehead could be seen.
A young daughter-in-law stood in front of her, lowering her head and giving her acupuncture.
Walking from the outer courtyard to the inner courtyard, Zheng Ji had heard the steward tell her about the condition of the eldest princess. The person who diagnosed her was Meng Shizi's daughter-in-law Jiang. Grandma Meng received the inheritance from Master Yuhe and used strange medicine.
The eldest princess's eye disease has improved and she can see people...
Meng Cimo's daughter-in-law is Jiang Yixi! She is the daughter of Mingya and Jiang Chen, and she actually has that ability!
Looking at her figure from the back, she really looks a bit like Mingya from many years ago...
Jiang Yixi's ears were extremely sensitive. She had already heard the movement in the hall and knew that Zheng Ji was back at this time.
She suppressed her emotions and finished applying the "eye acupuncture" to the eldest princess, and then applied normal acupuncture. She did not look back and looked at the eldest princess quietly.
When the last silver needle was taken off, Zheng Ji walked into the bedroom and knelt down in front of the eldest princess's bed.
"Mom, my son is back."
The eldest princess opened her eyes, hugged Zheng Ji into her arms and started crying.
Everyone in the room only paid attention to the mother and son, and the women cried with them. No one noticed that Jiang Yixi silently exited the bedroom and left with the two girls.
Jiang Yixi didn't take a second glance at Zheng Ji, but suddenly she saw a tall man.
She came outside the hanging flower door and looked up at the sky. The sky was clear and the winter sun was bright.
She twitched her lips and smiled.
What happened in that room had nothing to do with her. The world was so beautiful, why did she let other people's things affect her mood?
Although her parents died early, she still has a husband who loves her, a lovely son, a sensible brother, and is about to give birth to another child...
Back at Fusheng Residence, Nanny Wu said with a smile, "Second Master is back. The masters are having lunch at Fu'an Hall and they haven't left yet."
Jiang Yixi didn't want to go over and join in the fun, so she simply ate a little food and went to bed to rest.
When she woke up, she saw Meng Cimo sitting by the bed looking at her.
Jiang Yixi thought she was dreaming, and Meng Cimo had already reached down and kissed her on the face.
Jiang Yixi was pleasantly surprised. It turned out that she was not dreaming.
He must have heard that Zheng Ji was returning to Beijing today and was afraid that he would be sad, so he came back to be with him.
Jiang Yixi put her arms around his neck and asked knowingly, "Why are you back?"
Meng Cimo buried his head on her chest again and said with a sullen smile, "I missed my wife, so I came back."
Jiang Yixi's hands moved freely on his cheeks and head, and she murmured, "I miss you too, very much..."
The two were intimate for a while, and then Jiang Yixi said, "That person is back."
"Have you spoken?"
"No."
"Don't think too much. Since you don't want to recognize him, just think of him as my grandfather's apprentice and my superior."
"Um."
At the end of Shen Shi, the two went to Fu'an Hall.
Except for the second master of Shangya and Meng Ciyan and Meng Ciyu, all the masters are here, and even the second lady and Meng Hua, who have not seen each other for many days, are also here.
Meng Zhaoan leaned at his father's feet, smiling happily.
Jiang Yixi called the second lady "Second Aunt", but the second lady only raised her lips, and Jiang Yixi didn't notice.
Seeing Meng Cimo, the old lady was happy, but she still wondered, "Why are you back today?"
Meng Cimo said, "I have something to do and I went to the Ministry of War."
Seeing his father, whom he hadn't seen for many days, little Cuncun, who was lying on the kang gnawing his feet, turned over and crawled towards the kang, grinning happily, and a string of silver threads came down from the corner of his mouth.
Meng Cimo went over and took him into his arms, smiled at Meng Ciyue and said, "Thank you for your hard work, second brother."
The old man also praised Meng Ciyue greatly, saying that he could endure hardships, was responsible, and put the family first in everything.
Meng Hua stood up and knelt down to thank Meng Ciyue, "Thank you, second brother."
After not seeing each other for many days, Meng Hua not only changed his personality, but also his appearance seemed to have changed. He was very thin, and his square face looked smaller, but he looked more delicate.
The old man is very satisfied with Meng Hua's changes. He is aware of current affairs, brave, able to face all adversity, and knows how to plan and prepare for the future life. But as a man, Meng Ciyu still does not have the courage to appear in front of others.
After the meal, several men went to the outer courtyard to discuss matters.
In the mansion of the eldest princess in Yichang, everyone went to chat and laugh with the eldest princess after finishing the reception banquet.
At the time of Xu, Zheng Shaobao took his family back home, and even Zheng Tingting went back with him.
Only the eldest princess, Prince Consort Zheng, Zheng Ji, and Mr. He were left in the room, and the atmosphere immediately became awkward.
Zheng Ji looked at Mr. He, who was so nervous that his body was shaking a little. He looked away, then turned to her, and said harmoniously, "I have to attend to you at night. You can go back and rest."
The eldest princess especially wanted to say, "I don't have to wait for you, you can go back to accompany your wife," but she didn't dare to say it out loud. She was afraid that her son would live in an outer courtyard like before and escape after only a few days at home.
Both his wife and son are strong. What Mr. Zheng did most before was to act as a peacemaker between the two of them.
The eldest princess didn't dare to let her son accompany her daughter-in-law, and the consort Zheng didn't even dare to say so. He said to Mrs. He, "You are not in good health. Go back and rest. Come back tomorrow."
