Fast through the cannon fodder of the mission to counterattack

Chapter 159
Chunlu was surprised when he heard this.

On weekdays, her young lady and her cousin Meng are inseparable, and they are inseparable from Meng.

I didn't wait for the cousin today.

Chunlu nodded and said:
"That's what the lady said."

Meng Li arrived at the old lady's courtyard, entered the room, gave the old lady a very standard courtesy, and said:
"Mingxi pays respects to grandma."

The old lady was sitting at the top, wearing emerald jewels on her head, and a purple dress. She was well maintained and had a good temperament, which was the thickness and beauty accumulated over the years.

Looks less than 60 years old.

She looked at Meng Li, nodded with a smile, let Meng Li get up, let Meng Li come to her, looked at Meng Li and said:

"What about Yizhi?"

"Didn't you come with me?"

Meng Li lowered his head and said in embarrassment:

"Grandmother, my granddaughter missed you so much when she got up early in the morning, so she couldn't help but come here first."

Then Meng Li said casually:

"If I go to the cousin's courtyard and wait for my cousin to come with me, my granddaughter will not 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 thinking, "Because my granddaughter dreamed about her grandmother."

The old lady smiled and nodded, and asked, "What did you dream about?"

Meng Li lied casually:

"I dreamed that when I was a child, my granddaughter and grandmother were catching butterflies in the garden together."

The old lady looked a little nostalgic, looked at Meng Li and sighed:
"Yeah, in a blink of an eye, you have promised others."

Hearing this, Meng Li quickly lowered his head, his face was reddish, his mouth opened, but he didn't say a word in the end.

The old lady smiled when Meng Li was shy, and then went back:
"You go to your cousin's courtyard every day and wait for her to come with you?"

Meng Li: "Yes."

The old lady nodded and chatted with Meng Li.

Ask about Meng Li's study progress. As the daughter of the Hou family, there is a shortage of female workers in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.

Meng Li answered one by one, neither bragging nor overly modest, the old lady nodded in satisfaction, it was the same as what the lady said.

After a while, the woman next to the old lady came in and said to the old lady:
"Ma'am, Miss Biao is here."

The old lady nodded, and Meng Li sat quietly beside the old lady.

Jiang Yizhi came in.

Meng Li looked over and met Shang Jiang Yizhi's eyes.

Jiang Yizhi was surprised to see Meng Li sitting in the position where the old lady lowered her head slightly, and doubts flashed across her face.

I don't understand why he came here today without waiting for her.

However, her expression quickly settled down, she lowered her head and saluted politely, the old lady nodded, and Jiang Yizhi got up and went directly towards the old lady.

In the past, after Jiang Yizhi saluted, he sat beside the old lady and chatted with the old lady.

So Jiang Yizhi naturally went as usual.

The old lady smiled and said:
"Yizhi, your cousin is here."

Jiang Yizhi's expression changed, and he quickly said to the old lady:
"Grandmother, Yizhi has been rude."

He gave another slight salute to Meng Li and said:
"Cousin is well."

Meng Li just nodded and said:
"Hello cousin."

Jiang Yizhi's expression changed, and he felt a little unhappy seeing Meng Li's indifferent attitude.

After all, she was still a little girl, and she was easily angry. The old lady saw it, but she didn't make a sound.

He began to ask Jiang Yizhi how he was doing in all aspects.

Jiang Yizhi replied one by one.

The tone was very deliberately accommodating and flattering to the old lady, and what she said was in line with the old lady's wishes, which made the old lady laugh all the time.

Meng Li sat quietly and listened quietly.

After they finished chatting, the old lady didn't intend to continue talking, so Meng Li got up to salute and say goodbye to the old lady.

Jiang Yizhi thought about it and got up to say goodbye to the old lady.

Seeing Meng Li and Jiang Yizhi leave the room, the old lady sighed, took a sip of tea, and the woman next to her saw good eyesight, so she hurriedly 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 slightly resentful:

"Mingxi, why didn't you come to see me today?"

Meng Li said: "Cousin, you and I are already old, so we should be stricter in terms of address."

"If they listen to it, they will only say that our Houfu has no rules."

Jiang Yizhi frowned, not expecting Meng Li to say such a thing.

Did he dislike her birth?

Jiang Yizhi stretched out his hand and tugged at Meng Li's sleeve, opened his watery eyes and said:

"All right, cousin."

"Cousin, you haven't answered why I didn't come to see me today." Jiang Yizhi gave in first, and then asked about Meng Lilai.

Jiang Yizhi was afraid that Meng Li would not get close to her after listening to other people's gossip.

After all, she is the concubine of the Hou family. If the two of them don't deal with each other, then her life will not be as smooth as before.

Meng Li said lightly:

"forgotten."

Jiang Yizhi pouted aggrievedly, feeling very uncomfortable with Meng Li's attitude.

Meng Li said to Chun Lu:

"Come with me to my mother's place to say hello."

Chunlu answered yes.

Meng Li said to Jiang Yizhi:
"I'm going to say hello to my mother first."

Jiang Yizhi thought for a while and said:

"It's been a long time since I went to say hello to my aunt, let's go together."

Meng Li: ...

"Ok."

If you want to go to her, you can't stop her from going.

Although she is not a serious child of the Marquis, she seems to be freer than those concubines.

But when it comes to family status, Jiang Yizhi's surname is not Fu, and it seems that he can't even compare to the status of a concubine in the Houfu.

This can't be up or down.

Meng Li and Jiang Yizhi went to Madam Hou, and Madam was not surprised to see Meng Li and Jiang Yizhi together.

Her daughter liked this cousin since she was a child, and she deliberately didn't want them to be close friends, and she was afraid that the old lady would make a fuss and think she looked down on Jiang Yizhi.

Thinking about how all these years had passed, her daughter hadn't suffered much, so she felt relieved.

Mrs. Hou Ye felt that she was still tolerant, but she just didn't like this Jiang Yizhi, and she didn't know why.

Although he thought so in his heart, he also smiled when facing Jiang Yizhi.

It's just that the face is a little full of life and a little alienated.

Jiang Yizhi had a sweet mouth, and he was not stingy with good words at first.

However, Mrs. Hou Ye only listened lightly to her ears and didn't take it to heart.

After all, Mrs. Hou's estranged attitude made Jiang Yizhi unable to bear it. She didn't like her as an aunt in the first place, and after talking about it for a while, she felt that she was making fun of herself, so she stopped talking.

Finally sat quietly aside.

Mrs. Hou Ye wanted to have some thoughtful words with Meng Li, but she felt it was inappropriate because Jiang Yizhi was on the sidelines.

Can't speak.

In addition, she is her niece and the granddaughter that the old lady likes. Although the old lady is old, she is still overwhelmed by her. Jiang Yizhi sent them all away.
