Chapter 176: They Are Old Acquaintances
Huahua was chattering about the sad history of the original owner, while Jiang Yixi was thinking about her own thoughts.
The water fragrance on duty in the side room was very puzzled, and Huahua meowed for most of the night, but the master didn't stop.
For a period of time after that, Jiang Yixi would send someone to send Jiang Xun medicinal food and snacks every two or three days, and also sent tomatoes and snacks to Mrs. Jiang once.
Finally waited until the ninth day of the eighth month, despite the light rain in the sky, Meng Cimo still came back in time for the beginning of the year.
Hot water and wine and food were prepared, and after he finished bathing, he sat on the kang and drank wine.
Jiang Yixi drank with him, and Huahua was forcibly carried to the wing room by Shui Qing.
Meng Cimo looked at Jiang Yixi's pointed little chin, and said with pity, "You lost weight, those two are looking for trouble again?" ”
Jiang Yixi smiled, "Eat first, and then talk after eating." ”
Meng Cimo's face sank and he finished eating as fast as he could.
The two went into the bedroom, and the girl had to serve them to bed.
Jiang Yixi said, "No need, you go down." ”
The girl stepped back and closed the door.
Meng Cimo lives at home, and the girl on night duty will not live in the east side room, but in the west side room next to the hall room.
There was no one in the house, so Jiang Yixi threw herself into Meng Cimo's arms and hugged his waist tightly. Smelling this familiar smell and feeling the broad shoulders, Jiang Yi's heart that had been hanging for many days finally settled down.
"Cimo, I look forward to your return every day, and I am anxious."
For the first time in so long since she had been reborn, she felt so helpless.
She wouldn't hide that from her. One is that she absolutely believes in him, and the other is because of politics. Meng Cimo has been sparing no effort to win over Zheng Ji and the Zheng family to join King Ping, and the Meng family and the Zheng family are world friends. Let him know about it to avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, or if there is trouble, he can help cover it up.
Meng Cimo thought that Jiang Yixi was bullied by the Fu family and Cheng Guogong, and said in a deep voice, "Damn, I'll find a way to let my grandfather clean them up tomorrow." ”
Jiang Yixi's head shook at Meng Cimo's neck, and said sullenly, "It's not them, it's surnamed Zheng." You must not have imagined that Zheng Ji is my biological father. ”
Meng Cimo was shocked and said incredulously, "What? This, this ......"
Tears welled up in Jiang Yixi's eyes, "You heard it right, my mother married into the Jiang family while pregnant, and my father is not my own father." ”
When Meng Cimo listened to Jiang Yixi's words, he was shocked, and his open mouth couldn't be closed.
Jiang Yixi instructed, "You are not allowed to say anything about this, including your grandfather." I will always be Jiang Chen's eldest daughter, the second girl of the Jiang family, this is my mother's last wish, and it is also my wish. ”
Meng Cimo's half-open mouth closed, "Of course, I won't say anything to anyone." It seemed to dawn on him, "I finally know the real reason why Uncle Zheng is reluctant to return to Beijing......
Meng Cimo often heard Meng Laoguo talk about how Zheng Ji fought bravely. That time he went south to quell the rebellion, Zheng Ji fought for the first time, and he was extremely brave and fearless, where the danger was.
Zheng Ji is the only son of the eldest princess of Yichang, and he is afraid that he will die in battle and will not be able to deal with the emperor and the eldest princess. He wrote a bloody letter in public to ask for war, so that they could not object. Zheng Ji not only did not die in battle, but also made great contributions.
Zheng Ji wanted to continue to stay in southern Xinjiang, but was forced back by Zheng Lao and Shaobao.
After returning home, he was forced by the eldest princess to marry a girl from the He family. He was unwilling to let him be an errand in the Imperial Forest Army or the Governor's Mansion, so he still chose to go to the Fifth Regiment Camp on the outskirts of Beijing.
He put his whole mind in the barracks, leading the troops to train every day, even if he was resting, he was not at home. The eldest princess and the concubine were so angry that they sent someone to call them and couldn't call them back, so Zheng had to go to the barracks to arrest them in person. If he happens to be caught, Zheng Ji has to go back. If Zheng Ji runs away, he can't do it.
Not long after Mrs. Zheng gave birth to her son, Zheng Ji didn't know what to say to the emperor and was suddenly transferred to Biansai......
This incident caused a lot of trouble at the time. A child of the clan does not enjoy the blessings of the capital, but runs to the border, and this dynasty is the only one. The emperor praised him greatly, saying that he was a model of the clan. The eldest princess of Yichang was unwilling, crying and running into the palace to beg the emperor and the queen mother to stop Zheng Ji, but the emperor did not fulfill her wishes.
Meng Cimo's gaze slid to Jiang Yixi, "Calculate the time when Uncle Zheng ran to the side plug, it should be shortly after your mother's death." In the following ten years, he only returned to the capital twice, and stayed for less than ten years. And he never looked for a woman, no matter the beauty sent by the eldest princess, or the filial piety of his subordinates, he refused......
"Before, we all thought that Uncle Zheng was like this, he had no other love except for fighting and training, and even the most basic human nature was suppressed. Now I know that there is another secret, his heart is given to that girl, but that girl married someone else and died young.
"The last time we fought, my father-in-law and I were both incorporated into Uncle Zheng's camp, they were business-like and had a normal attitude, and I didn't find anything wrong with them. After every battle, it is the easiest day for the soldiers, others like to talk about women, only the father-in-law likes to talk about his daughter and son. I'm young, I'm embarrassed to listen to others talk about women, and I like to listen to my father-in-law talk about family affairs. At that time, I was very envious of you, and I loved your father so much......
"It's a pity, it's not good to blame me, my father-in-law was seriously injured and died because he blocked the knife for me, and it hurt you and Xun'er. Before we returned to Beijing, I went to sweep my father-in-law's grave with wine, and I actually saw Uncle Zheng sitting in front of my father-in-law's grave. There was not only fragrant wax paper money on the ground, but also knife heads and wine, and Uncle Zheng was also half drunk. He told me that he and General Jiang were old acquaintances, and they had known each other since they were young......"
Thinking that Jiang Chen died for saving himself, Meng Cimo became sad again, and the muscles on his face were trembling.
Jiang Yi cherished his rebirth, and knew that Li Zhenbao had crossed over, and he didn't take life and death so seriously. She held Meng Cimo's big hand and said, "If people really have reincarnation, my father will definitely go to find my mother, and they will stay together in another world until they grow old." ”
Meng Cimo took her little hand to her lips and kissed it, and said softly, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law went to another world to get together, and Uncle Zheng who was left behind was the most painful." Perhaps, he attributed your mother's early death to himself, and spent the rest of his life in repentance. ”
Jiang Yixi's face turned cold again, "No matter how painful that person is, he doesn't deserve sympathy." If my mother hadn't met my father, she would have died twice. If he doesn't have the ability to deal with his father, he shouldn't provoke my mother, so that my mother will commit suicide before marriage, what's the use of him repenting. ”
Both of them were in a bad mood and sat at the head of the bed with each other snuggled up.
After a moment of silence, Jiang Yixi asked again, "Do you know what Mrs. Zheng's reputation is?" My two water-related incidents were related to Zheng Ji and the eldest princess's mansion, and I am afraid that the other one will also have something to do with the Zheng family. Looking at Mrs. Zheng's attitude towards our sister and brother, she should know about my mother and that person, and she hates my mother in her heart. ”
