Chapter 109: When to Grow Up
The ancestors and grandchildren of the Meng family still eat in the West Chamber, and Meng Zhong and Meng Lianshan are accompanied by Uncle Wu to eat in the East Chamber.
Jiang Yi cherished eating alone in the upper room.
The gifts that Meng Cimo brought to her have been brought in, which are jewelry from Shu Real Estate, rouge gouache, comb grate, bamboo pillow, and fan, packed in a big box. In addition, there is a set of pen and ink inkstones, which are for Jiang Xun.
There are not many things, but they are delicate and beautiful, and Jiang Yixi especially likes the pair of bamboo pillows and the group fan embroidered with double-sided Shu embroidery.
After the meal, neither grandparent nor grandchild left.
The old man couldn't be idle, so he sat in the yard with Jiang Yixi to pick up flowers and plants.
Meng Cimo stood alone in front of the window, moving with the movement of the beautiful shadow. In his eyes, that Raider was more beautiful than all the flowers.
In his mind, another garden was bigger and more flowery, and Jiang Yixi was shuttling through it, and there were actually two little dolls......
As the sun set in the west, Jiang Yixi went to the kitchen to make two dishes and soup.
After eating, the grandparents and grandchildren returned to Mengjiazhuang.
The old man walked back with two personal soldiers. Meng Cimo didn't want people to know that he was back now, so he still took the carriage back.
In the sunset, seeing the carriage and figures disappearing at the end of the path, Jiang Yi regretted that he returned to the courtyard.
She sat in front of the east window, watching the sunset on the horizon gradually sink into the top of the mountain...... A day of getting along is so sweet.
The next day, Jiang Yixi baked dim sum with Mama Wu and Shui Zhu, and cooked a can of mushroom soup.
Meng Cimo won't come today, he went out to run errands again, and returned to the capital directly two days later.
Mama Wu's mother-in-law and Shui Zhu joked with Shui Xiang, and Shui Xiang was so ashamed that Shui Xiang hid in the house and was embarrassed to come out.
In the morning, he baked dim sum, and asked Wu Youfu to send two boxes to Meng Laoguogong, and Jiang Yixi took Shui Ling and Wu Yougui to Zhaoming Nunnery with dim sum and mushroom soup.
The road is winding, the wheat in the field is rolling, and the busy villagers greet Wu Yougui. In the distance, the mountains are continuous, and the cornices and corners on the other side of the woods are faintly visible.
Walking on this path again, Jiang Yi was refreshed.
She likes life in Zhuangzi as much as she likes this warm, free and fragrant spring breeze. It's just the same, the little treasure of the sick seedlings makes her feel distressed.
When I came to Zhaomeian, there were still many pilgrims. They went directly to Li Zhenbao's Zen monastery.
Mama Chai and Mama He stood outside waiting, and when they saw that Jiang Yi had gone and had taken so much food, they all smiled and bent their eyes.
Mama Chai whispered, "The dieting master also misses Miss Jiang very much." Miss Jiang waited, and the host of Lonely Cang was giving acupuncture to the dieting little master, and after acupuncture, she wanted to make medicinal soup. After the acupuncture was finished, I asked her if the dieting master could see if he could meet the guests after making the medicinal soup. ”
also made his own assertion that he would send Lonely Cang to host a box of vegetarian points. The county lord said that Miss Jiang's vegetarian chef couldn't catch up.
Jiang Yixi agreed, so he went to the main hall to burn incense and worship the Buddha first.
Wait until you finish fasting and then go to the small Zen temple, Li Zhenbao is making medicinal soup.
Mama Chai smiled, "The host of the lonely cangs agreed to go on a diet for two quarters of an hour for the little master to see the guests, but he had to wait until after Shen Shi. Miss Jiang, please go to the wing room and sit ......"
Jiang Yixi smiled, "I see that the apricot blossoms in the garden are blooming just right, go there and come back." ”
When Shen arrived, Jiang Yixi entered the meditation room with Su Wei.
Li Zhenbao leaned on the Luohan bed, his wet hair hung down, his face was pale, he was thinner than before, he had grown a little taller, and his facial features had grown a little. There was a smile in his eyes, but his mouth was deflated without crying.
Jiang Yixi took a few steps forward and took her hand, and said, "Zhenbao, I finally saw you again." You've grown taller......"
"Second Sister Jiang, I miss you so much."
"I miss ......you too," Jiang Yixi sat next to her.
Li Zhenbao's head rested on Jiang Yixi's lap, and he couldn't wait to complain of bitterness.
"Sister, I'm so uncomfortable, I feel like I've been dark for the past few months, and I really want to die...... But you can't die. I can't bear my father, but he is very kind to me. And the royal grandmother, I know how good she is to me. And the big brother, Kiki......
"Life is too difficult, I just think about the happy time I have with my sister, and my sister let me know that I can be so happy, persevere, get through the disaster, and the future will be so good. Really, we're the happiest ...... I've ever been together."
The voice became softer, "I have never had a ...... in my previous life"
In her previous life, she pretended to be hatred and resentment towards her parents, and she thought most about how to be angry with them and how to rebel. I don't like my elders and teachers, and I don't have a true friend. There are classmates who please her, but they just want to eat and drink with her, and even instigate her to do bad things...... Only her father was good to her, and she didn't figure it out until she died.
In those seventeen years, she was beautiful, had a father who loved her, and lived in a modern society with highly developed science and technology, but she lived a muddy life, and even her laughter was fake.
In this life, she finally knew the preciousness of her relatives, and she was fortunate that there were so many relatives who really liked her, and even liked them unusually. However, they didn't understand her, they all treated what she said as a child, and only Second Sister Jiang understood her. She is only willing to tell her what she thinks in her heart......
Jiang Yixi gently wiped her back with his hand and listened to her whispering.
When she had finished, she said, "Jumbo is brave, and the darkest days have passed, which is the light." There's so much to do, you have to hurry. Oh, and that different and interesting lover is waiting for you to find him. ”
Li Zhenbao laughed, "It's not me who went to him, it was he who came to me." His face wrinkled again, "Alas, I haven't received a monthly letter yet, and I'm in a hurry......"
"Little Master of Diet."
Mama Chai had to stop this topic, and her voice unconsciously thickened. In fact, she is also very worried, the county lord is not in good health, she has been soaked in medicinal soup since she was a child, and she doesn't know when she will grow up. But no matter how anxious this kind of thing is, you can't say it in public, it's embarrassing.
Jiang Jian smiled and nodded Li Zhenbao's garlic nose. He also told who he had given those two things to and how they were to be passed on. Especially when it comes to giving the duckling doll to Zheng Jingjing, the little girl thinks the duck is too cute and never eats the duck again......
Li Zhenbao's eyes were shining when he heard this. She had also heard her father and brother talk about the rumors about her in the capital now, but they were not so detailed.
The two seemed to have only spoken a few words, and Mama Chai talked about the time.
Although Jiang Yixi was reluctant, he still did not dare to stay.
Li Zhenbao said, "The host of Lonely Cang said that my body is recovering well, better than in previous years. At the end of this month, I will be able to leave the meditation room, and I can return to Beijing in May and June. Second Sister Jiang, I'm happy to be able to attend your wedding, right? Alas, it's a pity that there are no bridesmaids here. ”
Jiang Yixi was also happy for her, and said, "At the end of the month, I will go back to Huzhuang again, make you something to eat, and you can come over to play." ”
Li Zhenbao said happily, "I am hungry for scrambled eggs with leeks, scrambled eggs with Chunxiang, braised eggs, steamed eggs, salted duck eggs, ......"
