At the end of Shenshi, the setting sun was setting in the west.

Jiang Yixi was playing in Jinyuan with Cuncun and Yin'er, while Meng Cimo and others returned home one after another.

Cuncun took his sister and greeted him, "Daddy, daddy..."

Meng Cimo picked up Yin'er who rushed towards him, and held Cun Cun with one hand.

He said to Jiang Yixi, "Meng Xiu became famous with one sword."

This metaphor made Jiang Yixi laugh.

"It seems that Sister Xiu is doing very well."

"I think she should have won first place, but it's a pity that she only got fourth place."

Meng Cimo didn't like to attend flower banquets. He went there occasionally, and he didn't go to the talent show. Because there were performances by Meng Xiu and Huang Xin today, he went to watch them.

The top three were all men, one played the piano and two wrote poems. Meng Cimo felt that none of them were as stunning as Meng Xiu's sword dance.

Jiang Yixi felt that Meng Xiu had achieved his goal by winning the first place among women.

Meng Xiu can be said to have "become famous with one sword". After the Peach Blossom Banquet, many people came to marry her, including Zhao Lingxin, the sixth son of the Changsheng Hou Mansion, whom the Liu family had previously been optimistic about.

Zhao Lingxin is nineteen years old. He is the youngest son of Changsheng Hou and the younger brother of Zhao Qiuyue. He studied at Jingwu Hall with Jiang Xun. He won the martial arts examination the year before last but failed to become a Jinshi. Now he is the sixth-grade city gate leader.

The reason why I haven't gotten engaged yet at such an old age is that I have a lot of choices. After many choices, I was impressed by Meng Xiu's heroic appearance at the Peach Blossom Banquet.

Mrs. Zhao has had several contacts with Mrs. Liu. She had a very bad impression at first, but later she found out that Mrs. Liu was not as naughty and unreasonable as the legend said, but on the contrary, she was very wise and managed Duke Cheng Guo very well.

I have a very good relationship with her. Especially my relationship with my step-daughter-in-law Jiang, as many mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law are not that good.

Except that Meng Xiu is a bit tall, everything else is good.

Seeing that at such an old age, his son finally fell in love with a girl, Mrs. Zhao nodded in agreement.

Mr. Zhao refused and said that his son "picked and picked a lamp that leaked oil."

In terms of political marriage, the Chengguo Palace was extremely powerful, Liu Zongbing was an absolute confidant of Prince Ping, and his son marrying Meng Xiu would be of great benefit to the Changsheng Hou Palace.

But Mrs. Liu's reputation was so bad that Mr. Zhao had seen with his own eyes how tough and jealous she was. That time Mrs. Liu went to Jiaofangsi to "catch an adulterer", Mr. Zhao was at the scene.

He is afraid that his daughter, Xiao Mu, will marry a shrew if his son marries her.

Zhao Lingxin invited his fourth sister Zhao Qiuyue back to her parents' house to be a lobbyist. Zhao Qiuyue played well with Jiang Yixi and met Meng Xiu more often.

Zhao Qiuyue's evaluation of Meng Xiu is that she is completely opposite to Liu's character, gentle, shy, and well behaved.

Zhao Lingxin, Mrs. Zhao, and Zhao Qiuyue persuaded Mr. Zhao together, and Mr. Zhao relented.

Meng Xiu and Zhao Lingxin finally got engaged. Because Zhao Lingxin is too old, they are scheduled to get married in October next year.

Jiang Yixi met Zhao Lingxin once. He was very tall, imposing and very fond of laughing. Jiang Xun also said that Zhao Lingxin was very good. Although he had some shortcomings of a noble son, he had a gentle personality and good character.

The Liu family was very pleased with this marriage. She kowtowed to the old man and the old lady, gave Jiang Yixi a gift, and smiled a little at Duke Cheng Guo.

Duke Cheng Guo, who had been looking at Mrs. Liu's cold face, suddenly saw Mrs. Liu smiling at him, and was a little uncomfortable. He thought to himself, did Mrs. Liu want to reconcile with him through this incident?

After looking at Ms. Liu for a long time, I don’t think Mrs. Liu is particularly ugly. Such a strong woman should be different from those weak women...

After dinner on the day when the marriage was arranged, he did not go to the outer courtyard and went directly back to the main courtyard with Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu thought that Duke Chengguo had gone back to the house to get something, so she ignored him and went directly into the side room.

Duke Cheng Guo drank a cup of tea in the hall, and when he saw Mrs. Liu didn't come out, he felt secretly happy. Even such a carefree woman can be shy sometimes.

He put down the teacup and walked into the bedroom.

Mrs. Liu had already put on her middle coat and trousers, and was sitting on the beauty's couch, looking through her account books and planning to buy her daughter's dowry.

Duke Cheng Guo suddenly barged in. She was so frightened that she suddenly raised her head, her eyes bulged, and shouted loudly, "What are you doing here?"

Duke Cheng Guo was a little confused, this was different from what he thought.

He frowned and said, "This is my home too, why can't I come?"

Mrs. Liu closed the account book and said coldly, "I accept the kindness the Meng family has given me. How we should get along with each other? The master made an agreement with me on the first day I married into the Meng family, and there is written evidence to prove it."

Duke Cheng Guo's face turned red with embarrassment, he snorted and left in a hurry.

Aunt Liu had long been aware of the change in Duke Cheng's attitude toward the Liu family, and was happy for them to get along well. Seeing Madam like this, she sighed and advised, "Madam, Lord Cheng has changed his mind, so you can build a ladder for him. From now on

What's wrong with living a good life?"

Mrs. Liu said, "My father-in-law and Cimo and his wife gave us a good life for Xiu'er and me, not Meng Daoming. Why should I build a ladder for him? This is how I have lived my whole life."

The night was dark, and it started to rain lightly at some point.

The spring rain was as thin as silk and made no sound.

A fast horse galloped to the east corner door of Princess Dachang's Mansion in Yichang, knocked on the door, and the man went directly to the main hall of the inner courtyard.

The eldest princess and Prince Consort Zheng were preparing to take a rest when they heard that Lu Feng asked for an audience.

Lu Feng is the bodyguard who protects the Fu family. He came back so late and at this time...

The eldest princess and the old consort looked at each other and said, "Let him come in."

Lu Feng came in, kowtowed, and said sadly, "Your Highness, Prince Consort, Madam, she died of illness five days ago."

As soon as Fu died, he came back to report the news, and was delayed for five days on the road. The truck pulling the coffin was not that fast, and it took about ten days.

The eldest princess and Prince Consort Zheng allowed Fu to "die" of illness at this time. This not only eliminated the harm of losing his family and his country, but also ensured that his grandson would take part in the autumn examination next year.

If Mrs. Fu dies after nine months, Zheng Jing will not be allowed to die until the period of filial piety is less than one year.

The eldest princess wiped her eyes with a handkerchief and said sadly, "Oh, I didn't expect her to be so ill. I thought she would be able to return home after a year or two. If I had known this, I shouldn't have let her leave."

Jing. She was a good daughter-in-law. She was filial to her parents-in-law and taught her son that the funeral must be dignified..."

The mansion of the eldest princess in Yichang was deserted, and the eldest princess also fell ill.

Upon hearing the news of He's death, several women in the Chengguo Duke's palace were in tears.

The old lady said, "We are family friends with the Zheng family. Zheng Ji is my old master's apprentice. He also takes good care of Ci Mo and loves Cun Cun and Yin'er. The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, and Ci Mo's daughter-in-law, you go

To express my condolences, Wife Cimo will make some tonic soup and bring it to the eldest princess."

Jiang Yixi guessed that the eldest princess and the consort Zheng would not keep the He family, but she did not expect it to happen so soon.

She was secretly happy at first, but she didn't expect that the old lady assigned her two tasks. She was just thinking of an excuse when the old man spoke.

"The eldest daughter-in-law, the second daughter-in-law, go ahead, Cimo's daughter-in-law, go back and cook some medicinal food. The eldest princess has always liked that bite."
