Chapter 129: Official Appearance
The Ruyi Hall was lively, and everyone congratulated the old lady in unison.
The granddaughter-in-law of the third old lady, Sun Shi, said with a smile, "Ouch, the old lady is blessed, the grandson-in-law is the prince of the Bofu, and the future grandson-in-law is the prince of the Guogong Mansion, the general of Sanpin." All the blessings in the world are all taken up by your old man. β
The old lady was refreshed, pointed at Sun and smiled, "Your little mouth is sweet." β
Accompanied by Jiang Jin, Meng Cimo and Guo Zifei came to Ruyitang together.
Guo Zifei is average-looking, black and chubby, wrapped in gorgeous clothes.
Meng Cimo is wearing a three-grade military attache uniform, Yushu is in the wind, and his appearance is dignified. Ruxing's eyes were bright, and he couldn't tell that he was blind before. Standing with Guo Zifei, he looks even more outstanding and lofty.
Everyone's eyes were attracted by Meng Cimo.
Meng Cimo: This is the first time that Meng Cimo has really appeared in the capital after his eyes have healed. Except for entering the palace to meet the emperor once, he was basically busy in the military camp, and only occasionally quietly met Jiang Yixi. Even the Meng Mansion rarely returned, and he refused the promotion banquet that the Meng Mansion was preparing for him.
Many years ago, he was not well-known in the capital, and those who were not familiar with him only knew that the eldest prince of the Chengguo Mansion was stubborn, and at the age of fifteen he followed his grandfather to the border to fight, and on the way back he fell off his horse and became blind.
The three most capable people in the Chengguo Mansion are Qu Shi, the wife of the prince more than 20 years ago, who is glamorous. One is Meng Yue eight or nine years ago, the head of the "Four Beauties of Beijing". One is the current Meng Ciyu, the son is like a jade, only eight years old, and he was promoted at the age of sixteen.
But it turned out that Meng Shizi was even more unbelievable...... Not to mention the ladies in the Ruyi Hall, even the men in the front yard were surprised, Meng Cimo's talent was even better than Meng Ciyu.
It is no wonder that his mother was one of the "second songs" when she was alive, and his aunt was the most beautiful concubine in the palace.
Everyone looked at Meng Cimo in surprise. Jiang Yiyan was even worse, not only did he look blankly, but he even opened his mouth half-open, and later whispered "Meng Shizi".
The third lady was the first to react, frowning and coughing, but she couldn't "wake up" Jiang Yiyan.
Jiang Yi regretted seeing Jiang Yiyan like this, and he was quite embarrassed to have such a cousin.
Guo Zifei bowed to the old lady and shouted, "Grandmother." β
Meng Cimo saw the old lady for the first time, and when the next person put the futon, he knelt down and kowtowed.
"The younger generation visits the grandmother."
Even if he has not yet become the official son-in-law of the Jiang family, it is not wrong to call the old lady "grandmother".
The old lady was delighted and agreed, "Eh, eh, okay...... Kid, good kid. β
first wanted to be called "good grandson-in-law", and then quickly changed it to "good child".
Yingluo took a tray with a jasper pen holder on it. This is what the old lady specially prepared when she learned that Meng Cimo was coming to celebrate her birthday.
Meng Cimo didn't bring anyone to the backyard, and the old lady's other big girl, the hosta, stepped forward to take it and took it out and handed it to Meng Shizi's subordinates after a while.
After the two saw each other, they were accompanied by Jiang Jin to the outer courtyard for dinner.
After eating the birthday banquet, the guests said goodbye after talking and laughing for a while.
The gift given by Meng Cimo this time is also relatively valuable, it is a rosewood carved Bogu frame.
Jiang Yixi felt a little painful, she knew that Meng Cimo was doing this to give her a long face. But she would rather not have this face.
Later, I learned that Zheng Shaobao's Mansion also sent a congratulatory gift. The master didn't come because of something, and the manager sent a pair of large vases of colorful porcelain from the official kiln.
This pair of large vases is a fine product, half a person high, no less than two hundred taels of silver, the old lady and Uncle Jiang are quite satisfied.
Except for the Bogu frame sent by Meng Cimo to Ruyi Hall, the other gifts Uncle Jiang received into his private treasury.
Jiang Yixi snorted secretly, half of the juniors' thank-you gifts should be confiscated, and almost all of the elders' thank-you gifts were kept by themselves, and only the mother and son made it, and they thought it should be so.
The fact that Meng Cimo is more handsome than Meng Ciyu has also spread in the streets and alleys. Many people don't believe it, thinking that the source of this kind of talk is in the Jiang Mansion, that is, the mansion of Meng Cimo's fiancΓ©e, and it must be that the Jiang Mansion put gold on his son-in-law's face and was not ashamed......
Shui Ling was very angry when he heard these rumors outside, and went back to Jiang Yixi and said, "Girl, you hurry up and write a letter to Meng Shizi, and ask him to go to Changshun East Street, Changshun West Street, Luofu Street, and Jinque Street, so that those who don't have long eyes can see whether Meng Shizi is handsome or Meng Ergongzi is handsome." β
Those four streets are the most prosperous streets in the capital.
Shui Xiang smiled and said, "You can figure it out." Meng Shizi's heart is pretending to be all about family and country affairs, and he can run to the street for who is handsome and who is not. β
Jiang Yi was also very happy, ignoring this girl's broken thoughts.
Since meeting Meng Cimo, Jiang Yiyan has also been a little abnormal, and deigned to come to the Zhuo Yuan twice. came and had a stinky face, and talked with a gun and a stick.
Jiang Yixi knew her thoughts, she was looking at Meng Cimo to be handsome, and she was the son of the world, the general of Sanpin, and her orphan girl was not worthy of him. This mansion can match him, only the daughter of the Bofu concubine.
Jiang Yixi would not be polite to this girl, and scared her away with a few words.
Two days later, a deed was handed over to Jiang Yixi.
The three old men and their wives have already sold the land and Zhuangzi in Chang County, Tangzhou, and due to the urgent sale, they lost more than 80 taels of silver, which were made up by the big house. He also bought 800 acres of second-class land in Tonglin County, a suburb of Beijing, and spent 5,000 and 40 taels of silver.
Every account was clearly stated, and the extra forty taels of silver and the few taels of silver used to do things were all posted by Mr. and Mrs. Jiang San.
This piece of land Jiang is very satisfied, it is relatively close to Huzhuang, and Uncle Wu's father and son can manage it together. Jiang Yi took their favor and returned the more than forty taels of silver to the third lady. The third lady didn't accept it, saying that the elders would pay the juniors for this money, which made people laugh.
Jiang Yirou privately told Jiang Yixi that the eighty taels of silver lost when selling the land were still mentioned by the third master to the old lady, and the old lady asked Jiang Jin to take it out.
After that, bad news came, and the two family affairs that Jiang Yirou said were not completed. One is that I heard that the man's stepmother was unkind, and the third old man and his wife were afraid that their daughter would marry in and be angry with their stepmother, so they were unwilling.
The other man's family is very fond of Mr. and Mrs. Jiang San. Uncle Tang is now serving as a general soldier in South Vietnam, and his father is a guerrilla general in Nan Daying, and his family has a lot of prestige in the army. I am eighteen years old, and I am the seventh rank general in the fifth regiment camp, and I am also tall and handsome. are ready to ask the official media to formally propose marriage, how did the family know about Zhou's crime, I don't know for what reasons I don't want to.
Zhou's affair still affected the daughter's family, and Mrs. Jiang San was so angry that the old lady cried.
Jiang Yirou was also so angry that she hid in the house and secretly wiped her tears.
This was not what Huahua said, but what Jiang Yixi heard by himself.
