Spring is full of Jinghua

Chapter 29 Ancient Features
After the snacks were ready, Jiang Yixi packed a food box for Wu Yougui and Shui Ling to send to Mengjiazhuang.Shui Ling has always wanted to kowtow to the old man to express his respect and give her a chance.

For the vegetarian banquet, Jiang Yi regretted not preparing high-end vegetarian dishes. Madam Wu was not as good as the chef of the palace, and Zhuangzi didn't have so many high-end ingredients.Just make a few vegetarian dishes such as garlic sprouts and leeks that do not contain meat and cannot be eaten in the nunnery. Things that are not easy to eat are good things.

When Wu Yougui and Shui Ling came back, they also brought back a gift from Mengjiazhuang - a beautiful golden pheasant.

Wu Yougui smiled and said, "I didn't see that, Shui Ling is very good at dealing with things. He kowtows to the old man sincerely and speaks pleasantly. Both the old man and Prince Meng like it."

Shui Ling smiled with eyebrows crooked, and took out the silver ingot that the grandparents of the Meng family rewarded her.

"The old man and the elder son both know my father, and they also said that I am a good girl, let me serve the girl well, and be a loyal slave like my father. Brother Lian Shan, Brother Dingshan, and Brother Qingshan also know my father, let me Go find them if you have something to do. When the second master comes to Zhuangzi, ask him to help the slaves bring the silver to grandfather."

As he said that, he knelt down and kowtowed to Jiang Yixi again, "This is such a good thing because the servant became a maid for the girl. I didn't dare to think about it before."

Grandma Wu smiled and said, "Tsk tsk, everyone loves to hear these words. I said earlier that the water spirit is not stupid, and it is clearer than a shrewd girl."

Shui Xiang also smiled and said, "Oh, Shui Ling relies on so much, we won't dare to mess with her in the future."

Shui Qing joked, "Not only dare not provoke her, but also flatter her."

Shui Ling laughed so hard she couldn't see her teeth.With nowhere to use his strength, he ran to the front yard to chop firewood.

At the beginning of noon, Li Zhenbao arrived in a carriage, bringing with him more than a dozen guards and several leading nuns.

Li Kai didn't come, but there was a beautiful little boy.

Li Zhenbao was already able to walk, so she walked in with the child.

"Second Sister Jiang, this is my nephew Li Qi. My elder brother has gone outing with someone, so leave this little trouble to me."

Li Qi is three years old and is Li Kai's only son.

He made a bow to Jiang Yixi and shouted, "Auntie."

Jiang Yixi smiled and said, "What a handsome little brother."

Li Zhenbao frowned again, "Hey, don't talk short words in front of dwarves, don't say handsome, beautiful, good-looking words in front of me, I'm irritated."

Jiang Yixi couldn't laugh or cry.

Li Qi frowned and glanced at Li Zhenbao, and said helplessly, "A bird again."

Li Zhenbao patted him on the head, "I'm in pain, why don't I say it? Little brat, you think I'm too talkative if you can't speak clearly."

Li Qi rubbed his head, his eyebrows frowned even tighter, "Girl Jiajia, fart, fart, how difficult it is."

Li Zhenbao bulged his eyes and said, "My father and your father are so old and immoral, but you are young and immature. You can't even say 'listen', and you are still 'young'. Leave me alone, your father is not Dare to manage."

Li Qi pouted, "I don't dare to control my aunt, my aunt is upset, your father and my father want to beat you. Hmph, a loving father often defeats geese."

Seeing that small red mouth, Li Zhenbao couldn't speak clearly and wanted to pretend to be old and love him to death.Picked him up and kissed him vigorously, "Little Zhengtai, Auntie loves you so much, come and kiss me."

Li Yi stiffened his neck and tried to avoid her mouth, but he was forced to kiss him a few times.

Jiang Yixi was amused by their aunt and nephew.

As soon as Li Zhenbao put down Li Qi, he was attracted by the bougainvillea and said loudly, "Ah, isn't this a bougainvillea? There is also this kind of flower here?"

Jiang Yixi said, "Meng Laogong gave it to me. He said it came from a special episode, and it's called Sanjiaohua."

Li Zhenbao ran over to admire the bougainvillea for a long time, then looked at the other potted flowers, and said, "The most beautiful day is April, let's talk in the yard. Sigh, I've been here for so long, only today I have this leisurely mood."

Jiang Yixi asked people to come out with chairs and tables, and entertained them with homemade snacks and candies bought in the county.

Li Qi was immediately attracted by the rose crystal cake, and started to eat it with a small spoon.

"Auntie, I like cakes like Qi."

Jiang Yixi liked this child very much, and said with a smile, "Auntie cooks a lot, you can take some back and eat if you like."

Li Zhenbao was also very surprised when he saw the rose crystal cake, "It's like jelly, there's this stuff here, how do you make it?"

Jiang Yixi roughly talked about it.

Li Zhenbao rolled her small eyes, but it was still different from the jelly she wanted to make.

Li Qi ate two pieces of crystal cake, and was attracted by the golden pheasant tied to the corner.

Li Zhenbao whispered, "Is my nephew very beautiful?"

Xiao Nizi is domineering, she can say "beautiful", but she doesn't allow others to say it.

Jiang Yixi nodded and said, "Yes, very...cute."

Li Zhenbao said again, "Oh, but she is a poor child. She lost her mother at a young age. With me... oh, just like me, my mother also died because of giving birth to me."

Jiang Yixi sighed, "Women pass the gate of hell to give birth to children, and my mother died because of giving birth to my brother..."

There is also Meng Shizi's mother, who seems to have died because of giving birth to him.

Li Zhenbao said, "I found a characteristic in ancient times. Young women died more than young men. Oh, I mean accidents and illnesses, not counting strong men who died in war. When women pass that hurdle, they are a little older. , older women live longer than older men.”

Jiang Yixi knew that Li Zhenbao often said some inexplicable and wonderful things, so she didn't bother with the word "ancient", and felt that her words made sense.Suddenly said, "It seems to be true. Many young women die early after giving birth or getting sick, and most old women live longer than old men."

Li Zhenbao said, "This is because young women not only have to bear children, but also suffer from the anger of their husbands, mother-in-law, and family. They are oppressed by several mountains. Women with poor health and tough hearts will not live long. And men, Wealthy people are mostly lustful, they don’t care about themselves when they are old, and they lose their bodies, so they naturally die early. Poor people do too much physical work, so of course they don’t live long.”

Jiang Yixi blushed when she said "hollow out her body".

Seeing Jiang Yixi like this, Li Zhenbao giggled and said, "I'm still shy. Is sister engaged?" Seeing Jiang Yixi shaking her head, she said again, "Do you have a man you like? Or, do you have a man who likes you? She is very beautiful, she is a beauty with no dead ends, and she should have many suitors. A fair lady is a gentleman, and the ancients were also bold and unrestrained in their pursuit of love."

Jiang Yixi's handsome and indifferent face and those dull eyes appeared in front of Jiang Yixi's eyes.I often dream about him, is it because I like him?No, it was because of his kindness to her.No matter how nice he is, she doesn't want to go in that house again.What's more, if his eyes are good, he must be the man that every young woman in the capital wants to marry...
