Chapter 371: Obsessive thoughts

Latest website:

Two days later in the morning, Meng Xiu's name was officially written into the ancestral hall by the old Duke.

Today we invited girls Li Zhenbao, Zheng Jingjing, Zheng Fangfang, Zhao Qiusu, Jiang Yishan and Li Rujuan to play.

Zhao Qiusu is Zhao Qiuyue's little sister. Zhao Qiuyue did not invite her to marry.

Meng Xiu was embarrassed to invite Li Zhenbao at first, but instead invited Zheng Tingting, who was more familiar with her. Jiang Yixi said that Zheng Tingting was ill and could not come, so she helped invite Li Zhenbao. Li Zhenbao could come to the party called by Meng Xiu, which raised the profile of those people.

The powerful noble lady will look at Meng Xiu differently.

This made Liu's mother and daughter very happy.

After a busy day, Shen Cai sent away several guests except Li Zhenbao. Today, Meng Cimo protected the emperor and went to the Temple of Heaven to offer sacrifices. If he didn't come back at night, Li Zhenbao had to stay in Fusheng for the night.

As soon as Meng Xiu saw off his guest, he went to the main courtyard and talked to Mrs. Liu about the fun between several good friends.

Seeing that her daughter's excitement was not over yet, Mrs. Liu laughed.

Although Meng Xiu's surname is "Meng", she is not a real bloodline of the Meng family. She is still a dragster brought over by her. But let others see the special love that the Chengguo Palace has for its daughter. If you marry Meng Xiu, you will be a true bloodline of the Meng family.

This is enough for my in-laws.

Because of her fate, she hoped that Meng Xiu could marry into a family with better conditions. She wouldn't say a wealthy family, but she should at least have a certain background.

Marrying a poor boy at a low age will surely lead to respect and happiness? How is it possible? When a poor boy relies on his in-laws to climb up the ladder, he will not only not be grateful for the support of his in-laws, but will feel that he has gained everything with frustration and cowardice, and that he has to get everything from all sources.

Looking for "self-esteem" in many aspects, including looking for women...

I'm not saying that every poor boy is like this, but it's almost the same.

Mrs. Liu had really taken a fancy to a good youngster, Jiang Xun. He had good appearance, good conduct, both civil and military skills, and his family background was acceptable. Although his grandmother was worried, but with Jiang Yixi as her support, Mrs. Jiang did not dare to make too many mistakes.

Later, Jiang Xun won the lottery, and there was an endless stream of people coming to propose marriage. Even Mrs. Meng helped to propose marriage. There were many girls who were better than Meng Xiu, but neither sister nor the brother agreed. Mrs. Liu knew it after tasting it.

, they should have found a good candidate for a girl. Later, Mrs. Liu saw that Jiang Yixi was particularly different about the Zheng sisters, and she made even more speculations.

She knew that not only she had that idea, but her daughter also had that obsession.

I must suppress my thoughts about my daughter.

She said to Meng Xiu, "I went to Fu'an Hall to have dinner and then came to my mother's place for a rest. We two have not had a good talk for a long time."

Meng Xiu was very busy every day. She had to pay greetings, study, do needlework, and visit the garden. In addition, she was a little afraid of Duke Cheng, so she didn't like the main courtyard very much, so she didn't have much time to whisper to Mrs. Liu.

Meng Xiu and Huang Xin are now studying together with two teachers. The male teacher teaches reading, writing and painting, and the female teacher teaches playing the piano. One hour in the morning and one hour in the afternoon.

Perhaps due to heredity, Huang Xin is a few years younger than Meng Xiu, but she is better than Meng Xiu in reading, writing, and painting, and her piano skills are about the same, but Meng Xiu is much better at embroidery than Huang Xin.

The girls in the Meng family all started school at the age of six and stopped studying at the age of thirteen or fourteen.

But Meng Xiu didn't go to school at all when she was in the Niu family. After returning to the Wu family, she didn't go to school much because she couldn't get along with several girls from the Wu family. So even though she was thirteen years old, she still chose to continue studying. The little girl

So strong and studies very hard.

Meng Xiu also had something on her mind that she wanted to tell her mother, so she nodded and asked, "Won't my father come back to live?"

Liu said, "No."

The next morning, after Mrs. Liu returned to her room after practicing the exercises, Meng Xiu got up.

Xiao Nizi looked disgusted.

Mrs. Liu pretended not to notice. Once the little girl's concerns were made clear, she would put them aside once she figured it out.

After breakfast, mother and daughter went to Fu'an Hall to pay their respects.

Seeing that Grandma Liu had something to say, Ms. Liu said to Meng Xiu, "You go ahead. I'll be back in a while."

After Meng Xiu left, Grandma Liu whispered, "I heard from people in the outer courtyard that the Duke of Guo let Mu Rong into the house yesterday."

Murong followed Liu to Jiaofangsi to arrest someone. Duke Cheng Guo did not dare to speak out against Liu, so he took out his anger on Murong. He heard that he scolded Murong and even drove her to live in a wing.

Mrs. Liu frowned and said angrily, "What are you talking about with me? That Meng Daoming can't walk without a woman."

Entering June, the weather is hot, and except for the cicadas, even the chirping of birds is lazy.

The old Duke of Guo disliked the heat in the capital, so he took Huahua and Jiujiu to Mengjiazhuang to escape the summer heat. He did not dare to take Yin'er with him and wanted to take Cuncun with him, but Jiang Yixi did not agree. The eldest grandson Meng Zhaoan had already gone to school, so he couldn't take them with him even if he wanted to.

There is no domestic troublemaker in the family, Duke Cheng is in charge, Meng Cimo's position is conducive to having an insight into the situation in the palace and the court, and Prince Ping's party gradually grows. The old men at home and abroad are relieved and have time to go out and play.

The weather was unusual this year, so Jiang Yixi often cooked medicinal meals for the elderly couple and children, as well as Li Zhenbao, who was in poor health.

Li Zhenbao was particularly convinced of Jiang Yixi's medicinal diet and would ask for some to honor the Empress Dowager and King Yong.

Even Li Zhenbao did not dare to send food to the emperor. The emperor particularly liked Master Yuhui's fine tea and hinted that he wanted more of it. Li Zhenbao paid half of his tribute, and Meng Cimo asked Jiang Yixi to pay half of it.

Jiang Yixi didn't like the emperor very much in her heart. Although he was not a foolish emperor, he was definitely not a wise emperor. She didn't want him to live too long. But he didn't dare not give it to him even if he proposed it.

What Jiang Yixi didn't want to give was the eldest princess of Yichang. Yichang's health was not very good when she entered Xia, and she would occasionally send Zheng Tingting to ask for the medicinal food cooked by Jiang Yixi herself.

Jiang Yixi didn't like that old lady, but if she came to ask for it, she had to give it, and she couldn't cut corners - her conscience couldn't bear it.

Zheng Tingting saw that the eldest princess and the old prince consort drank the medicinal food and were in good health, so she asked for more to give to her biological grandfather Zheng Lao Shaobao.

Jiang Yixi's skill in cooking medicinal meals spread throughout the capital, and Nanfeng Pavilion's business became even better.

Jiang Yixi told Zheng Tingting to be careful and never let the medicinal food pass through He's hands.

Zheng Tingting was also afraid of Mr. He's manipulation, so she held the medicinal food she took back with her own hands, watched it warm with her own eyes, and then served the old couple to drink it with her own hands.

Because of Meng Cimo's relationship, Jiang Yixi's filial tea, and Jiang Xun's young age and cleverness, the emperor had a very good impression of Jiang Xun. When discussing court affairs with the courtiers was boring, he would make fun of the "handsome boy"

, active and lively atmosphere.

They make little jokes such as whether they are looking for a wife, whether they have a bed-warmer, and whether they know what it is like to be a woman.

The more Jiang Xun tweaked, the happier they laughed.

Men all like to make this kind of joke. After laughing for a while, they feel refreshed and continue to discuss court affairs.

Jiang Xun was embarrassed to tell Jiang Yixi these words, but they were all told by Meng Cimo when he came back.

Jiang Yixi was speechless, those old men were all dishonest. Fortunately, the older princesses had all hired consorts, and two of them were too young, less than ten years old.
