Chapter 290 Meeting

On the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, Zheng Ji, Zheng Yu, and Zheng Jing came to the Chengguo Palace together with generous gifts.

The old Duke and his children and grandchildren entertained them in the front hall. Except for Meng Ciyu, all the adult men of the Meng family came.

There was a cat curled up in the corner. Huahua was very curious about her mother's biological father, so she ran to watch the fun.

When my husband looked at Zheng Ji, his eyes were always smiling, and he felt quite proud that no one could be as good as my son.

Duke Cheng Guo never wanted to see Zheng Ji. Whenever his father scolded him, he would drag Zheng Ji out to compete with him. The more he competed with him, the more useless he became.

He was quite dissatisfied. What's so good about Zheng Ji? The eldest princess scolded him every day for being unfilial and would not come home for several years. How could he be like himself, a high-ranking official in the court, and still be filial to his mother...

Zheng Ji once again thanked Jiang for treating his mother and praised Meng Cimo for finding a good wife.

Among the gifts he gave, several were specially given to Jiang Yixi. The gifts were thick and unique. To outsiders, they seemed to be his thank you gifts, but only he knew that they were a meeting gift from his "uncle" to his "niece".

After chatting and laughing for a while, Zheng Ji said, "I haven't seen my wife for many years. I heard that her health is getting better and better. I will go and kowtow to her."

The Meng and Zheng families are family friends, and all the men and women in the family have met each other.

The old Duke said, "Have dinner at Fu'an Hall at noon and let the juniors kowtow to you."

Zheng Ji wanted to meet Jiang Yixi and her son, so he agreed wholeheartedly. He thought to himself that one day he would let Cimo lead his wife and son, and then call Jiang Xun to have a meal outside.

On the way, he heard Zheng Jing and Zheng Yu talk about their acquaintance with Jiang Yixi's sister and brother. Not only was Jiang Yixi capable, Jiang Xun was also good at both civil and military skills. This year, he was also selected as a martial arts scholar.

Mingya and Jiang Chen can also rest in peace...

Jiang Yixi was sitting on the kang playing with little Cuncun, when the little girl from Fuantang came.

She smiled and said, "Grandma, General Zheng is here. The old lady invites the masters to have lunch at Fu'an Hall. Fifth Master, Brother An, Brother Cun, and Sister Xin will also kowtow to General Zheng. Old Master

Say, grandma will take Jiu Jiu to meet her old master."

We have to meet one day. He is the uncle of a family friend, and I am the niece-in-law of a family friend. Let’s meet as soon as we can.

Jiang Yixi got up and changed clothes for Xiao Cuncun.

Zheng Ji first went to the east room to kowtow to the old lady. The old lady held his hand and talked for a long time, and then the men sat down to drink tea in the west room.

Except for Mrs. Meng's second wife and Mrs. Meng's third wife, all the female family members and children were Zheng Ji's juniors. They went to the west room to give greeting gifts to Zheng Ji. Several children kowtowed, and Zheng Ji gave the children greeting gifts.

Jiang Yixi's mother and son were the last to arrive, and Meng Cimo stood outside the main room door waiting for her.

When Jiang Yixi came closer, Meng Cimo whispered two words in her ear, "Nothing happened."

Entering the room on the west side, Meng Cimo led Jiang Yixi to Zheng Ji and said with a smile, "She is the Jiang family." Then he smiled at Jiang Yixi and said, "This is Uncle Zheng."

Jiang Yixi knelt down to give Zheng Ji a blessing ceremony and said, "General Zheng."

She didn't want to call him "uncle".

Zheng Ji was not used to this title. All the juniors in the Meng family called him "Uncle Zheng" or "Grandpa Zheng."

He felt that maybe Yi Xi was a stranger to him and was embarrassed to call him "Uncle."

Zheng Ji was still very excited and suppressed his emotions and looked at Jiang Yixi a few more times.

This child really looks like Mingya, bright and charming, with picturesque features. But the charm is not the same. Mingya is lively and loves to laugh, like a blooming peony. But Yixi doesn't like to smile, and her eyes are deep and as elegant as chrysanthemums.

In the blink of an eye, Mingya's daughter had grown up, gave birth to a son, and was pregnant with a second child.

Hearing Zheng Yu's slight cough, Zheng Ji realized that he was being rude.

He quickly lowered his gaze, stood up, hugged Jiang Yixi, and said with a smile, "Thank you for letting my mother see the light again."

It was impolite for him to look at other people's women like this. Except for Meng Cimo, everyone thought that he was out of gratitude and curiosity because Jiang had cured the eldest princess's eyes, so he didn't care about etiquette.

Jiang Yixi twitched her lips and did not answer the next sentence.

The old man smiled and helped her and said politely, "That's your mother, she should help."

Meng Cimo pointed to Meng Zhaocun who was being held by Huang's mother and said with a smile, "This is my eldest son, Zhaocun."

Mother Huang held her child and kowtowed to Zheng Ji.

Little Cuncun was not afraid of life. He looked at Zheng Ji with wide eyes and said "ah".

This is Mingya's grandson.

Zheng Ji stretched out his hand, and Xiao Cuncun actually extended his hand to him.

Zheng Ji laughed and took the child into his arms. He hugged his neck for a moment, and his face brushed against his cheek and ears from time to time. The saliva from his mouth smeared on his face, and giggles lingered in his ears.

By the side.

Zheng Ji had a different feeling, as if his heart was melting and his nose was a little sore.

He held the child's face and looked carefully. The child looked particularly like Cimo, not Mingya, but he felt that the child was amiable.

When Zheng Jing was this old, he was fighting a rebellion in the south. When he saw his son for the first time, he could already run all over the floor. This was the first time he held such a small baby, and he realized that the weakest is the most capable.

Breaking down one’s defenses...

The boy behind him brought a tray with a Hetian jade Pegasus ornament on it, the same as the one given to An Geer. The one given to Huang Xin was a Hetian jade lotus ornament.

Zheng Ji took the wrench off his thumb and stuffed it into Xiao Cuncun's cotton-padded jacket.

Meng Cimo and Zheng Yu were both stunned.

That ring is a top-quality jade-engraved ring, one of Zheng Ji’s three favorite rings.

Suddenly, a voice broke the joyful atmosphere, "Go home, go home..."

The voice was angry and slightly hoarse. It was Zheng Ji's voice.

Both the Meng family and Zheng Yu knew it was chirping, but Zheng Jing was the only one who looked at his father for the first time.

I saw my father raising his head and looking forward in a daze. As he looked over, he saw a girl carrying a birdcage, and the parrot in the birdcage was jumping and cursing.

"Go home, get out, and serve with military sticks... Flowers, flowers, there is a beautiful woman in the north..."

Zheng Ji laughed, and everyone laughed too.

"This little thing is getting better and better at talking."

Only Huahua is unhappy. Not only did no one notice her today, but she even got more attention in the tweets than she did.

It meowed and scolded, "My mother's own father doesn't like you either. You made my grandma disappear when she was pregnant with a baby. You are a scumbag. I hate you."

After cursing, he turned around and ran out to find the old lady.

Jiang Yixi knew that everyone couldn't understand Huahua's words, so she subconsciously looked at Zheng Ji. Zheng Ji didn't seem to hear the cat meowing, and looked down at Cun Cun with joy.

Jiang Yixi couldn't stay here for long, and she didn't want to let Zheng Ji hold Cun Cun. She asked Mother Huang to carry Cun Cun over and went to the east room.

At noon, everyone was eating in the side room. There was a screen between the men and women, and the chatter and laughter at the men's table could be clearly heard here.

Jiang Yixi didn't want to hear that voice, but that voice was trying to get into her ears.
