Chunlu was surprised when he heard this.
On weekdays, her young lady and her cousin are in constant contact with each other.
I can't wait for my cousin today.
Chunlu nodded and said:
"That's what the lady said."
Meng Li arrived at the old lady's courtyard, entered the room, bowed to the old lady in a very standard manner, and said:
"Ming Xi paid his respects to his grandmother."
The old lady is sitting at the top, wearing pearls on her head and purple clothes. She is well-maintained and has a good temperament. She is a beauty that has accumulated over the years.
Looks less than sixty years old.
She looked at Meng Li, nodded with a smile, let Meng Li stand up, let Meng Li come to her, looked at Meng Li and said:
"Where's Yizhi?"
"Didn't I come with you?"
Meng Li lowered his head and said with some embarrassment:
"Grandma, my granddaughter missed you so much when she woke up early in the morning, so she couldn't help but come over first."
Then Meng Li said casually:
"If we go to my cousin's courtyard and wait for my cousin to come together, my granddaughter won't be able to see her grandmother so soon."
The old lady was a little surprised and asked with interest:
"Why do you miss grandma so much?"
Meng Li said without hesitation: "Because my granddaughter dreamed about her grandmother."
The old lady smiled and nodded, and asked, "What were you dreaming about?"
Meng Li kept telling lies:
"I dreamed of my granddaughter catching butterflies with my grandmother in the garden when I was a child."
The old lady looked a little nostalgic, looked at Meng Li and sighed:
"Yeah, in the blink of an eye, you agreed to it."
Meng Li quickly lowered his head when he heard the words, his face turned red, his mouth opened, but in the end he didn't say a word.
The old lady smiled when Meng Li was shy, and then went back:
"You go to your cousin's hospital every day and wait for her to come with you?"
Meng Li: "Yes."
The old lady nodded and chatted with Meng Li.
Let me ask you about Meng Li's study progress. As the legitimate daughter of the Hou family, there is a shortage of female chess, calligraphy and painting girls.
Meng Li responded one by one, neither bragging nor being overly modest. The old lady nodded with satisfaction, which was exactly the same as what the female gentleman said.
After a while, the woman next to the old lady came in and said to the old lady:
"Madam, my cousin is here."
The old lady nodded, and Meng Li sat quietly next to the old lady.
Jiang Yizhi came in.
Meng Li looked over and met Jiang Yizhi's gaze.
Jiang Yizhi was surprised when she saw Meng Li sitting slightly lower than the old lady, and confusion flashed across her face.
I don’t understand why I came here without waiting for her.
However, her expression quickly cleared up, she lowered her head and bowed politely. The old lady nodded, and Jiang Yizhi stood up and walked directly towards the old lady.
In the past, Jiang Yizhi saluted, sat next to the old lady and chatted with her.
So Jiang Yizhi went naturally as usual.
The old lady smiled and said:
"Yizhi, your cousin is here."
Jiang Yizhi's expression changed and she quickly said to the old lady:
"Grandma, Yizhi is rude."
Then he bowed slightly to Meng Li and said:
"My cousin is fine."
Meng Li just nodded and said:
"Hello, cousin."
Jiang Yizhi's expression changed, and she felt a little unhappy when she saw Meng Li's cold attitude.
After all, she was still a little girl, prone to moodiness and anger. The old lady saw it but said nothing.
He began to ask Jiang Yizhi how he was doing in various aspects.
Jiang Yizhi answered one by one.
His tone was very deliberately to accommodate and please the old lady, and what he said was in line with the old lady's wishes, making the old lady laugh all the time.
Meng Li sat quietly and listened quietly.
After they had finished chatting, the old lady had no intention of continuing. Meng Li stood up and saluted the old lady goodbye.
Jiang Yizhi thought about it and got up to say goodbye to the old lady.
The old lady watched Meng Li and Jiang Yizhi leave the room, sighed, took a sip of tea, and the woman next to her had good eyesight, so she quickly went to massage the old lady's shoulders.
The old lady half-closed her eyes in enjoyment.
Jiang Yizhi looked at Meng Li and asked in a low voice, but with a hint of resentment:
"Ming Xi, why didn't you come to see me today?"
Meng Li said: "Cousin, you and I have already grown hair, so we should be stricter in terms of address."
"If they listen to it, they will only say that our Marquis has no rules."
Jiang Yizhi twisted her delicate eyebrows, not expecting Meng Li to say such words.
Do you dislike her birth
Jiang Yizhi stretched out her hand and tugged on Meng Li's sleeve, and said with watery eyes:
"Okay, cousin."
"Cousin, you haven't answered why you didn't come to see me today." Jiang Yizhi was convinced at first, and then asked about Meng Li.
Jiang Yizhi was afraid that Meng Li would not get close to her after hearing other people's rumors.
After all, she is the legitimate daughter of the Hou family. If the two of them don't deal with her, her life will not be as smooth as before.
Meng Li said calmly:
"forgotten."
Jiang Yizhi curled her lips in grievance, feeling very uncomfortable with Meng Li's attitude.
Meng Li said to Chunlu:
"Come with me to my mother's place to pay her respects."
Chunlu responded yes.
Meng Li said to Jiang Yizhi:
"I'm going to pay my respects to my mother first."
Jiang Yizhi thought for a moment and said:
"I haven't gone to pay my respects to my aunt for a long time. Let's go together."
Meng Li:…
"All right."
If she wants to go, she can't stop her from going.
Although she is not a serious daughter of a prince, she seems to have a freer status than those concubines.
But when it comes to family status, Jiang Yizhi's surname is not Fu, and it seems that she can't even compare to her status as a concubine in the Hou Mansion.
This makes it impossible to get up or down.
Meng Li and Jiang Yizhi went to Mrs. Hou Ye's place. Madam was not surprised to see Meng Li and Jiang Yizhi together.
Her daughter had liked this cousin since she was a child. She deliberately did not want them to have a close relationship, but she was also afraid that the old lady would make a fuss about it, thinking that she looked down on Jiang Yizhi.
After thinking that her daughter had not suffered much after all these years, she felt relieved.
Mrs. Houye felt that she was tolerant, but she just didn't like Jiang Yizhi, and she didn't know why.
Although I was thinking this privately, I still smiled when I looked at Jiang Yizhi.
It's just that his face is a little raw and distant.
Jiang Yizhi has a sweet mouth, and she doesn't hesitate to say nice things at first.
However, Mrs. Hou Ye only listened to it lightly and did not take it into her heart.
Jiang Yizhi couldn't stand Mrs. Hou's alienated attitude. She didn't like her as an aunt in the first place. After talking for a while, she felt that she was asking for trouble, so she stopped talking.
Finally, he sat quietly aside.
Mrs. Houye wanted to have some personal words with Meng Li, but she felt it was inappropriate because Jiang Yizhi was nearby.
Unable to speak.
In addition, she is her niece and the granddaughter that the old lady likes. Although the old lady is old, she still dominates her. She is not good at giving cold looks to people whom the old lady likes. In the end, she had to take Meng Li and Jiang Yizhi dismissed them all.
