Spring is full of Jinghua

Chapter 254 Retirement

At noon on May [-], the rain that had been raining for two days finally stopped.Raindrops were still dripping down from the trees on the eaves, and the sky was as blue as if it had been washed.

In the near future, the old Duke came to Jinyuan again.

He asked people to bring out more than a dozen pots of flowers that had been brought to the porch, and supported the flower stems bent by the rain and wind with sticks.After serving, he washed his hands and went to Fushengju to take care of his grandson and drink tea.

There is a smile on the old man's face today, unlike the gloomy face before.Even Xiao Zhaocun felt the joy of his grandfather, and smiled at him while lying on the kang.The little guy was waving his hands and feet in the air, his laughing mouth had no teeth, his eyes were crooked, and there were two dimples at the corners of his lips.

Ci Mo was like this when he was a child, right?

The old man stretched out his big hand to pinch the child's small face, then retracted to look at the rough belly, and changed direction to pinch the child's chubby feet.

Said, "When your father was young, my great-grandfather often fought outside, even if he was at home, he didn't care about his children and grandchildren. Alas, my great-grandfather was sorry for him and made him suffer a lot. If my great-grandfather is in good health and can live a few more years, I will Responsible for teaching you well..."

Jiang Yixi personally served the good tea.He said with a smile, "My family is blessed to have been taught by the God of War since childhood."

The old man laughed loudly.

He has no daughter, and his granddaughters are afraid of him, and they are not close to him.But this granddaughter-in-law can always make him, an old man, happy.

Jiang Yixi smiled again, "Second Uncle, go home soon."

Meng Ciyue went to his hometown to find an heir for Sanfang at the end of last month.

The old man said, "If all goes well, I will be home in five to ten days. Well, if my third son is still alive, and Cimo has a good helper, I can rest more."

The old man has worked hard all his life, and when he gets old, he wants to rest more, raise flowers and birds, and stop worrying about court affairs.But the eldest son is unreliable and lagging behind, the second son's ability is mediocre, Meng Ciyue and Meng Ciyan have not yet grown up, and Meng Cimo can't do it alone, so he has to continue to worry about it.

Meng Ciyan didn't even pass the exam as a scholar, and the Imperial College failed to graduate. The old man found a vacancy for him in Tonglin County, and served as the magistrate of Bapin County.The old man wanted him to start from the bottom, know the sufferings of the people, learn more skills, and become a talent in the future.It's not like his father, the promotion is all in the face of the old man.

The two were chatting and laughing, the girl from Fu'an Hall came to report, the old lady and the eldest lady from Cui Cifu's house came, and the old lady asked the eldest grandmother to accompany the guests.

Mrs. Cui is Cui Cifu's wife. She is over 50 years old and in poor health. She seldom goes out.

The old man sighed, "I've already told the old lady, we don't want to delay Miss Cui like Ci Yu. We agree to divorce, as long as they let the empress dowager relax."

Jiang Yixi went to Fu'an Hall.

After Fu's accident, news spread that Cui Wenjun was seriously ill.Two days ago, I received a letter from Zheng Tingting, saying that she, Zhao Qiuyue and Xue Qingliu went to Cui's house specially.

Jiang Yixi wrote another letter to Cui Wenjun, sending a pot of flowers and a box of snacks to show his condolences.

Jiang Yixi knows Cui Wenjun better. Although the little girl is a bit high-minded, she is definitely a good girl.If the Meng family falls, she will not dislike Meng Ciyu.But Meng Ciyu's biological mother is such a person, and now many people are beginning to question Meng Ciyu's behavior, she is definitely not willing to marry again.Moreover, the Cui family has always disliked this marriage, and it was forcibly calculated by Concubine Zhao.

At this moment, when something like this happened to Mrs. Fu, if the plan was right, and Li Zhenbao happened to be beside Empress Dowager Xia, helping Cui Wenjun to say good things, Empress Dowager Xia should take back her order.

Retirement is not about wealth but about character, and others will not accuse the Cui family of disliking the poor and loving the rich.However, after this incident, it is not easy for Cui Wenjun to find a good husband's family he likes.

When I came to Fu'an Hall, I saw an old woman in her fifties talking to Mrs. Meng Tai. Mrs. Cui and Mrs. Meng Er were both there.

Mrs. Cui is very thin, she looks about the same age as Mrs. Meng who is over [-] years old.When Mrs. Meng was not in good health, she was not thin, she was puffy.Now being nursed by Jiang Yixi, she has become white and fat, her face is pale and red, she is really fat.

Mrs. Cui and Jiang Yixi met at the Peach Blossom Banquet. She is Cui Wenjun's mother.

Jiang Yixi stepped forward and bowed her knees to salute.

Mrs. Cui waved her hand and smiled, "I often hear Wen Jun mentioning you. Thank you for writing her a letter to comfort her when she was in the most difficult time."

Jiang Yixi was polite, and those people talked about how beautiful Qu Fen was, how gentle and virtuous she was, how pitiful Meng Cimo and Meng Yue were, and the bad rumors about Meng Cimo in the early years were all intentional...

Mrs. Meng also knew what they meant.First he said the same thing, "Oh, those old men have been fighting outside for many years, and I have been bedridden for many years, so those people with bad consciences and shameless people took advantage of the loopholes. We are sorry for Mrs. Qu, and let Cimo and Yue girl was wronged.

Fu's shameless person not only harmed his stepson and stepdaughter, but also his parents and daughter.Little girl Cui is a good girl, we can't delay her.If the Empress Dowager is willing to withdraw her order, our Meng family has no objection..."

Mrs. Cui, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other with smiles in their eyes.

Cui Cifu shed tears in front of the emperor because of his eldest granddaughter.

The emperor expressed his understanding, no one would want his granddaughter to have such a disgusting mother-in-law.Mrs. Fu has been pretending to be virtuous in the past few years, who knows if Meng Ciyu's good reputation is just pretending.

The emperor promised that if the Meng family did not seek trouble, he would persuade the empress dowager to see if he could ask the empress dowager to withdraw her order.

This is not a return, the queen mother gave marriage not only to see whether the two young children are a good match, but also to see the character of the elders.Now that one of the elders is known to be of extremely bad character, of course it is not easy to make them a pair again.

Cui's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law laughed and said goodbye and went home.

At the beginning of noon the next day, a servant from the Palace of Compassionate Ning came and said that the Empress Dowager had an order for Meng Ciyu to take over.

Even if they knew something, the masters at home all went to the front yard.The man with imperial orders wears a phoenix coronet, and the old man wears an official uniform.

Meng Ciyu, who was dressed in plain clothes, staggered when he walked, his face was very gloomy, and his eyes were full of hatred.

The old man whispered to him.

Meng Ciyu and the old man knelt at the front, and the others knelt behind.

The servant sang, "The empress dowager gave an order. Ai's family heard that Mrs. Fu had done a lot of evil, deceived the top and concealed it, and lost the face of women all over the world. The daughter of the Cui family, Wen Jun, was virtuous and gentle. She was born in a scholarly family. The door, I feel sorry for the family. The matter of giving marriage is over, and the man and woman will marry each other."

The servant left, but Meng Ciyu was still kneeling on the ground in a daze.

With tears in his eyes, Meng Hua stepped forward and tried to help Meng Ciyu up.

Meng Ciyu retracted his arm and shouted at her, "Get out, I don't need your sympathy."
