Before dinner, Zheng Ji left the house on the pretext of an appointment with a friend.

He didn't dare to appear in front of his family until his emotions calmed down. He still had to calm down and think about how to recognize Xixi...

On the morning of the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zheng Yu and Zheng Tingting came to Fushengju.

Yesterday they sent someone to deliver a letter to Jiang Yixi. Today they are going to Zhaoming Temple to visit Li Zhenbao, and they will detour to Fushengju to pick up some things for Li Zhenbao.

Jiang Yi got up at Xiyin time, led Shui Zhu and a few girls to make four vegetarian snacks and a can of tonic soup. Of course, the ingredients had been specially processed. Even if Huahua said it was useless for little Zhenbao's condition, it would increase her

constitution.

Aunt Wu returned to Huzhuang for vacation the day before yesterday. Huahua also wanted to go to the countryside and be with Li Zhenbao, so she went back with her.

Before leaving, the little guy made a promise that he would only play in Huzhuang, Mengjiazhuang, and Zhaoming Temple, and would never go into the mountains.

When the Zheng brothers and sisters arrived, the last pot of dim sum had not yet been cooked.

Jiang Yixi knew that it would be good if Li Zhenbao could eat two pieces with so many things, but she just wanted to bring more to see which flavor she liked.

Meng Cimo and Zheng Yu were sitting in the living room talking, while Jiang Yixi and Zheng Tingting went to the side room to talk.

Jiang Yixi was more concerned about He's movements and led the little girl to tell a lot of things she wanted to know.

The relationship between Zheng Ji and He was still estranged. Zheng Ji slept in a side room of the main hall at night. He said that he was filial to his mother who was in poor health, and it was difficult for others to persuade him.

Mr. He is more silent and gloomy, rarely leaving his yard...

"Oh, my aunt is pitiful, and Uncle Ji is also suffering. My father was talking about this matter to my mother in private that day, and I happened to hear it."

Zheng Tingting's voice was even lower, "My father said that when Uncle Ji was in love with the daughter of a low-ranking official, my great-aunt firmly disagreed, saying that it was wrong to be in a bad family. Uncle Ji knelt down to beg my great-aunt and great-uncle, and said that he did not agree with the marriage.

He wanted to be a bachelor for the rest of his life, but his great-aunt still had a hard heart and refused to agree.

"Uncle Ji was afraid that my great-aunt was secretly looking for a match for him, so he deliberately let people spread the news that he had a dispute with his mother because of the girl he loved. He thought that people who knew would be unwilling to marry his daughter to him. My father also helped out.

I spread the word and was beaten up by my grandfather.

"My great-aunt first fell in love with girls from three other families. People knew that Zheng Ji was interested and rejected her. Then she fell in love with the daughter of the He family. The He family had already begun to lose out and was very willing to have this marriage.

"Because that woman was already married, Uncle Ji married his aunt. It was not good for him to be married, and he was away from home every day. Within two years, the woman died, and Uncle Ji became even more sad and ran out to guard the border. Alas, if I

It’s that woman. It’s worth dying early to have a man who treats me so infatuatedly.”

After saying that, he blushed.

Jiang Yixi couldn't answer these words and remained silent.

Mrs. He is indeed pitiful, but her family sold her out knowing that Zheng liked another person.

Zheng Ji was also miserable later on, but he was the one who brought it about. How could he do that kind of thing with a girl when his mother still didn't agree to the marriage.

There is also the eldest princess of Yichang. Her son likes a woman so much, but she beats the couple without mercy, causing harm to her son and two women...

Zheng Tingting added, "Although my aunt didn't win Uncle Ji's heart, the He family got a lot of benefits from this noble family, including their children becoming officials and asking for money... Fortunately, my aunt gave birth to a son, and my aunt was satisfied.

She also has a place in the house, otherwise it would be even more difficult."

In the hall, Meng Cimo was joking about Zheng Yu, "You are going to Zhaoming Nunnery more and more often. Isn't it..."

Without saying anything else, she raised her eyebrows at him in a very ambiguous manner.

Zheng Yu waved her big hands and said, "What are you thinking about? That little girl, not to mention she is still a nun now, even if she has returned to secular life, she is still a little girl. We are so many years apart, how could it be possible? When I went to see her, I just felt that little girl

It’s not easy, I just sympathize with her and want to give her some encouragement.”

Meng Cimo said, "She is fifteen years old this year. In the world, she should be old enough to get married. How is she young?"

Zheng Yu was stunned, "She is fifteen years old? In my impression, she is still a twelve-year-old girl, skinny and skinny, she dares to say anything, she is so powerful."

Meng Cimo said, "Is it possible that you are the only one who is older and others are not? Princess Zhenbao is very good, tough and strong. Although her mouth is not forgiving, she is soft-hearted and kind-hearted. Don't be stupid. You only know how to look at it.

If someone snatches it away, it will be too late to cry..."

Zheng Yu was very unconvinced and pointed at her nose and said harshly, "I'm crying for her? Are you kidding me? She's just a little kid..."

The Zheng brothers and sisters took the things away and asked them to tell Li Zhenbao that when the weather got warmer and Jiang Yixi's fetus was firmly seated, they made an appointment to see her together.

At this time, a letter came in from the mother-in-law of the outer courtyard. It was from Zheng Ji.

He said he had something to discuss and invited Meng Cimo to his other courtyard for a drink.

Meng Cimo showed the letter to Jiang Yixi and said, "Instead of going to the restaurant, I went to the other courtyard. That's probably what I was talking about. I'd better go and tell him your thoughts clearly."

Jiang Yixi nodded.

Meng Cimo got dressed and asked again before going out, "Did I really say that?"

Jiang Yixi said, "Of course, this is my mother's last wish."

"He didn't meet you even if he asked to see you?"

"not see."

Meng Cimo saw that Jiang Yixi's expression was firm and showed no sign of wanting to change his mind, so he walked out the door.

When Cuncun saw that his father had left without him, he opened his mouth again and wanted to cry.

Jiang Yixi sat on the kang and put her son in her arms.

Not long after, Huang Xin came, and little Cuncun happily started playing with her cousin again.

Jiang Yixi sat aside and thought about her thoughts.

The Zheng Family Courtyard is a three-entry house, small and exquisite.

This is Zheng Ji's private property, with only one servant to take care of it. He is away from Beijing all year round, and his subordinates will stay here when they come to the capital for business.

Zheng Shou took Meng Cimo directly to the outer study room.

Meng Cimo felt that the way Zheng Shou looked at him was very meaningful and more respectful.

Meng Cimo walked into the side room and saw Zheng Ji sitting behind the desk.

Zheng Ji's tough five became a little softer and a little embarrassed.

He pointed to the chair on one side, "Ci Mo, sit down."

Zheng Shou poured tea, exited the room, and closed the door again.

Meng Cimo looked at Zheng Ji, waiting for him to speak first.

Zheng Ji's face turned slightly red and he changed his sitting posture.

The former family friend and nephew have now become in-laws and sons-in-law.

Unexpectedly, he suddenly had a daughter, and his son-in-law was sitting in front of him. He was still a close nephew and subordinate.

Zheng Ji was a little embarrassed. He had Xixi because of something like that with Xixi's mother. It was always a bit hard to talk about that kind of thing with his son-in-law.

However, looking at Meng Cimo's look, he seemed to have guessed why he was looking for him.

Zheng Ji cleared his throat and said calmly, "You and Xixi are both smart children. You should have guessed what I want from you. I, I feel sorry for Xixi's mother, and I also feel sorry for Xixi." Please like Chunman Jinghua.
