Chapter Seventy-Nine: Asking for Marriage
Meng Cimo said, "The phoenix hairpin is the jewelry left by my mother, and the emeralds are the ones I caught when I was fighting, you can think of my ...... when you look at them." ”
Emeralds are as big as the fingertips of your thumbs, crystal clear, dazzling, and the price is not high at a glance. Looking at the condition, the emerald is much more valuable than the inlaid treasure phoenix hairpin, but the hairpin is left by Meng Cimo's mother, and the meaning is heavier.
Jiang Yixi smiled and nodded, picked up the hairpin and said, "It's so beautiful." ”
Meng Cimo smiled. Most of the dowries and relics left by his mother were given to his sister as dowry, and only a few pieces of jewelry were left for him, and they were not in good condition, but this one was the best.
After dinner, they will rush back to the palace and set off for the south tomorrow morning.
Jiang Yixi sent Meng Cimo to the carriage. At this time, they only had each other in their eyes, and they didn't notice that Meng Lianshan looked at Shui Xiang a few more times, Shui Xiang's face was red with shame, and he still kept standing behind the girl, watching the carriage go away, his eyes were full of reluctance.
The carriage disappeared for a long time, and Jiang Yixi was still standing at the gate of the courtyard looking at the path.
Mama Wu couldn't help but persuade, "Girl, it's windy here, don't be cold." ”
Jiang Yi turned around and went back to the house.
The night swallowed up the last rays of light, and a light snow fell in the sky.
Jiang Yi sat on the kang in a daze, holding Huahua in his arms. Huahua knew that the owner was in a bad mood, so she obediently used her as a pillow. The subordinate didn't dare to say a word in a loud voice, and the noisy tweeter also closed his mouth and fell asleep.
The courtyard was extremely quiet, and even Jiang Yixi's occasional sigh was so obvious.
Flowey was so hungry that Meow shouted, "Master, Flowey is hungry." ”
Jiang Yixi noticed that it was dark, and I don't know when the girl came in and lit the lamp.
Raise your voice and say, "Let's eat." ”
After the meal, Jiang Yixi was full of strength again. Meng Cimo's short departure is for the sake of staying together better forever in the future. Meng Cimo was right, when the Meng family went to propose, the old lady would definitely let her go back to live in the house.
She has only been in Huzhuang for half a year, but she has accumulated a lot of belongings. Sort it out, what can be brought back to the house, and what will continue to be put here. I also want to make more snacks for Li Zhenbao to send to ......
Huahua heard that the owner was about to return to the mansion, and wanted to go to the forest to play for a few more days, and wanted to bring some cakes and cakes to Aunt Xiong and Aunt Ape, who had a good time with her. As for Brother Tiger and Uncle Leopard, they only eat raw meat, and they don't like meat that is marinated even more fragrant.
Jiang Yixi had already made a shoulder bag in the style that Huahua said, put the small bag on its back, and put some snacks into it. And instructed to come back early, otherwise leave it in the Zhuangzi.
She went to the storeroom and looked around the house, and then looked at the precious flowers and plants inside and outside the house, and the birdcage under the porch.
The old lady and the big house are greedy for money, and they can't bring back the big items of fame. The old lady had the elegance of Xilan, so she only brought a pot of famous orchids to her, and then brought a few pots of not very expensive ones to her yard. Jiu Jiu definitely wants to take it back, saying that the old man occasionally wants to see it, and others will not leave no matter how much they want to.
The Wu family's father and son and Qin Lin will continue to stay here, and Shui Zhu definitely doesn't want to enter the Jiang Mansion and leave Mama Wu for the time being......
Jiang Yixi was secretly thinking about it, and Mama Wu quietly laughed, "Girl, Shui Xiang seems to be looking at the Lianshan steward. ”
Jiang Yi was stunned, "Really? ”
"The old slave can't be mistaken, Lianshan steward and Shui Xiang looked at each other several times, and there was admiration in their eyes......"
Jiang Yixi is also happy for Shui Xiang.
Shui Xiang is already fifteen years old, and he was killed in a few months in his previous life, and he didn't even say anything about his relatives. Meng Lianshan is Meng Cimo's absolute confidant, more trusted by the ancestors of the Meng family than Meng Qingshan and Meng Gaoshan, has a bright future, and is especially liked and respected by Jiang Xun.
When Shui Xiang served Jiang Yixi to bed, Jiang Yixi asked with a smile, "You and Brother Lianshan have something to hide from me?" ”
Shui Xiang blushed, but still bowed her head and said, "Brother Lianshan sent the ...... captured during the war like a slave."
Jiang Yixi smiled, "Brother Lianshan is very good, congratulations." ”
Early the next morning, Jiang Yixi took someone to make Li Zhenbao's favorite snacks, and took Wu Yougui and Shui Ling, who carried four food boxes, to Showa Nunnery.
Li Zhenbao's courtyard was quiet.
Mama Chai heard that Jiang Yixi was about to return to the capital, so she asked her to say a few words to Li Zhenbao outside the window.
Li Zhenbao is still brewing medicinal soup, confused, maybe he can hear it, or maybe he can't hear it.
Jiang Yixi raised his voice and said, "Little Master of Diet, I'm going home, you can take care of your body." If you are still before, your future life will be as beautiful as flowers. Hold on and everything will be fine. Although I went to the capital, I will always think about you in my heart, and I will have people bring you food regularly. ”
Li Zhenbao's weak voice, "A word is a certainty, don't forget me." ”
Jiang Yixi smiled, "You can't forget me." When you can meet outsiders, let someone tell me and I'll play with you. ”
"Good. Remember, take those two little things I taught you to the capital and send them out. ”
Jiang Yixi smiled secretly, it's all like this, and he is still worried about those two little things spreading in the capital. In this way, Li Zhenbao is full of hope for the future even if he is in pain at this time.
She smiled, "Don't worry, I'll always remember it." ”
Mama Chai was afraid that Li Zhenbao would be too excited, so she urged, "Second Miss Jiang has finished speaking, please." ”
Jiang Yi regretted leaving the small courtyard and went to the main hall to worship the Buddha and Bodhisattva. I ate fast at Zhaoming Nunnery again before returning to Huzhuang.
On the fourth afternoon of the first month of winter, Yingluo came, smiling much more humbly than before, and presented a letter from Uncle Jiang.
The letter said that the Meng family had gone to the Jiang family to propose marriage, and the old lady agreed with him. Although it has not yet been finalized, it is not good for her to live in the countryside by herself anymore, so she will return to Beijing immediately.
Jiang Yixi snorted coldly, when he drove her to Zhuangzi, he wanted to summon her back with a letter?
She said with a cold face, "Go back and tell my grandmother and uncle that I have been in Zhuangzi for half a year, and I have been reflecting on what I have done all the time." I feel that I have not completely calmed down, and my soul has not been redeemed, and I still need to continue to reflect on what to do so as not to disgrace the Jiang family. ”
This time, not only did she not give Yingluo a reward, but she didn't even keep dinner.
At noon on the fifth day of the first lunar month, Master Jiang, Mrs. Jiang San and Jiang Xun came to Huzhuang together.
Mr. and Mrs. Jiang San were full of smiles, and their eyes were even more eager to see Jiang Yixi.
Jiang Xun was also overjoyed, and said with a smile, "Sister, the Chengguo Mansion invited the old marquis Wang to come to our house to say yes, and ask for Brother Meng to marry his sister." I really didn't expect that Brother Meng was going to be my brother-in-law, hehe......"
He couldn't sleep for the past two days.
Although Mama Wu and the others already knew that Meng Shizi and her own girl had a heart-to-heart, and heard that Meng Fu had gone to propose marriage, the old lady agreed again, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, and they all congratulated Jiang Yixi.
Jiang Yixi pretended to be shy and lowered his head and twisted his veil.
Mrs. Jiang San said with a smile, "Congratulations to the girl, with this noble family, the old lady and uncle, we are all happy for you." It's just that you can't continue to live in Zhuangzi, you have to move back to the house. ”
