Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 103 The Truth
The two got into the carriage, Yiqing looked at Zheng Jingyan and asked, "Why don't you ride a horse?"

Zheng Jingyan asked back: "Isn't it good to accompany you in a car? Why do you want to ride a horse?"

Yiqing smiled and said: "You are thin and thin, and it is good to wear light-colored clothes. Today you look good, and you are riding a horse through the street... Tsk! Let the girls and aunts take a look: This is Rong Ping Hou, you are chic and handsome!"

Zheng Jingyan glanced at her, then turned his face away: "Xia Yiqing, do you always stare at others like this when you go out on the street?"

Yiqing sighed: "I really want to see you, but it's a pity that 'once you enter the Hou's gate, it's as deep as the sea', you can't get out! I have to see you every day!"

"Hmph! You look at me every day, and only today do you realize that I look good in this dress?"

Yiqing thought for a while, then smiled and said, "Hey, don't you have any other clothes? Since I met you, why do you wear clothes of this color every day?"

Zheng Jingyan was completely speechless, and he said for a long while: "I usually wear pure white and jade colors alternately. The wedding day is the same as you. I wear bright red, red-bottomed flowers, and bright purple... When you were dusting me for me yesterday. , I’m wearing sky blue!”

"Yeah, that seems to be the case."

Yiqing's heart was not fading, she looked out through the window screen: "It's Ningde Street, look, Broadcom Bookstore!"

Zheng Jingyan now understands that she is not interested in bookstores for reading, so he asked, "What do you do with bookstores? Could it be that you still want to paint New Year pictures?"

Yiqing smiled: "When I first came to the capital, I really had this plan! The owner of the bookstore in my hometown gave me a letter of recommendation, saying that with my drawing skills, I can do various illustrations for this Broadcom bookstore!"

Zheng Jingyan snorted softly: "Botong Bookstore is one of the largest bookstores in the capital. Most of the visitors are dignitaries, celebrities, and everyone. Those who can do paintings for this bookstore are all famous scholars. Do you have that reputation?"

"I don't have any!" Yiqing said firmly, "But I have superior conditions that others don't have. Broadcom Bookstore will definitely use my paintings. My painting skills are not very good, but they are by no means bad. Maybe I can draw pictures. So, my name has been established, and I have been popularized by Broadcom Bookstore!"

Zheng Jingyan was silent for a moment, and asked seriously: "What is your 'superior' condition?"

Yiqing looked at him and smiled embarrassedly: "It's nothing, it's just nepotism!"

Zheng Jingyan frowned: "Let's hear it!"

"Well, the owner of our hometown bookstore is a relative of the owner of this Broadcom bookstore, and the owner of Broadcom bookstore is from my hometown!"

"If you are from your hometown, you have to take care of you? How does the owner of the bookstore in your hometown know you so well?"

"I paint for him all the year round. His youngest daughter, Guan Wanjun, is a handkerchief handkerchief to me. Why don't we know each other well? Boss Guan is the uncle of the young storekeeper of Broadcom Bookstore. The recommendation letter written by the uncle himself, dare the nephew not give face? Wanjun also Said, her cousin is very gentle and talkative! She also wrote me another letter of recommendation and asked me to give it to my cousin, but it's a pity that I can't use it now!"

Zheng Jingyan really wanted to bring Yiqing's face back towards the window, so he raised his hand to make a gesture or let it go, and said coldly: "That's his cousin, why are you so affectionate?"

"Wanjun's cousin, can I call you twice?"

Zheng Jingyan's hand landed on Yiqing's shoulder, and patted lightly: "Turn around, I'll tell you something serious!"

Yiqing turned to look at him: "What's the matter?"

Zheng Jingyan pointed to a mahogany box under Yiqing's window, and said, "There is a bank note, 1 taels, and you will give it to your father-in-law and mother-in-law later!"

Yiqing was stunned: "1 taels? That's a lot! Why did you give it to my parents?"

"Daughter and son-in-law respect their elders, it should be done!"

Yiqing looked at the box, her eyes lit up, and then she shook her head: "No more! I can't ask you for too much money! Du Zhong said that you gave my father a big house to solve a big problem for me, that's enough , thank you! You don’t have to count the dividends for my shops this year—you can’t eat as much as you want, you said it, and I understand the truth!”

Zheng Jingyan lowered his eyes and saw that there was only a fist distance between his knees and Yiqing's. Exactly the same as when newlyweds were enthroned!
The tightly pursed lips relaxed, Zheng Jingyan raised his eyes and looked at Yiqing with a smile, and said, "Those shops share dividends, but it's just to trick you. As pocket money! You help me so hard, you are filial to my grandmother and mother at home, and you are willing to go out with me to socialize, well-behaved and obedient, and do what you say... What I can give you is more than what you read in the account books of the Hou Mansion every day !"

Yiqing opened her mouth slightly, and stared at him blankly: "The Hou Mansion has so many properties. Yiqing is only involved in some internal and external related account books, which dazzles her. The amount of gold and silver is astonishing. She Just looking at it, now Zheng Jingyan dares to say that he can give her more money than those!is it possible?

"You... Seriously?"

Zheng Jingyan smiled more sincerely: "Have I ever lied to you?"

"Why not? The sentence just now is completely deceiving!"

Zheng Jingyan restrained his smile helplessly, looking very unhappy.

Yiqing turned her eyes slowly: "But... you really plan to give me the 1 taels of silver? Is it okay?"

"What's the problem?"

"I'm worried, what if you, you and the fourth prince do some secret things, and I get involved?"

Zheng Jingyan was still pissed off by her, all his practice and concentration were useless in front of Xia Yiqing!

He reached out and squeezed her hand tightly, looked into her eyes and said, "Since you know everything, do you want me to say more? Xia Yiqing, from the moment you stepped into the Qin Palace to participate in the flower banquet, the royal family members , Nobility and Qingliu, no one does not know you, Mrs. Rong Pinghou! A song of the beauty of Taihu Lake, and another song of "Flying Fox", you are already famous in the capital! I stand behind King Qin, King Qin, King Qi, and King Wei, live and die in this life Incompatible! And you are my wife, Zheng Jingyan, and you and your relatives and friends belong to King Qin's faction! The situation is settled, no matter what, you can't separate yourself from me, only husband and wife will follow, follow King Qin all the way!"

Yiqing frowned, struggling to free her hand: "I knew it would happen! I really regret it, I regret it so much!"

"Regret marrying me? It's too late!"

"...That's fine, I have nothing to do with you to attend the Laoshizi Flower Banquet, it's just a matter of death! Power struggles, how can ant grass people like me get involved?"

"Yiqing, you are not an ant grass man, you are Mrs. Rong Pinghou!"

"Nonsense! Let go first, I don't like being grabbed by you so hard, I always feel like I'm going to be slaughtered by you again!"

Zheng Jingyan let her go and was free. Yiqing took a deep breath, and said troubledly, "Is this my retribution for robbing her husband? There are so many high-ranking and wealthy families in the capital. I can actually wait patiently. There should be more suitable ones." People, why did ghosts enter your house?"

Zheng Jingyan looked at her, feeling really panicked in his heart: "You didn't rob, you and I exchanged sex invitations, ordered by our parents, and told by the matchmaker, we are the first couple!"

"Rare! It's just a fake show, it's so hard, you asked for it!"

Xia Yiqing muttered to herself, but Zheng Jingyan heard it, and her face turned livid.

Du Zhong's voice came from outside the window: "Master Hou, Young Madam: Pang Mansion is here, and the gate is right in front of you!"

Zheng Jingyan didn't answer, Yiqing looked at him and saw that his face was not looking good, so she said to Du Zhong: "Don't stop, go straight to Xifu!"

Du Zhong hesitated and said: "But, Lord Hou..."

Feeling the carriage slow down, Yiqing tugged on Zheng Jingyan's sleeve: "Please give instructions, Lord Hou, your people only need to listen to you!"

Zheng Jingyan cleared his throat, and said to Du Zhong: "Go straight to the West Mansion. The two extra carts of goods we added, put one cart into the gate of Pang Mansion, and tell the gatekeeper that it is to honor Mr. Pang!"

Yiqing froze for a moment: "Extra? You have a small treasury, do you also have a separate small warehouse?"

Zheng Jingyan turned his face away from her: "No! I left Beijing in a hurry this time on business, and everything went well, but I missed it by accompanying you back to your natal family to visit your relatives. The King of Qin specially compensated us with two loads of goods, one for the parents-in-law's house and one for the parents-in-law's house. Fanghou’s mansion is full of precious supplements, medicinal materials, dry goods, furs, and some cloth that have just arrived from the northeast, and we still have them in our mansion, so I didn’t put them in storage, so I brought them together so that you can honor your grandfather!”

Yiqing: "..."

She pointed to the mahogany box: "These are also compensations?"

Zheng Jingyan turned his head back, and said calmly: "The money is...yours! I think you may want to subsidize your mother's family, because you just had Xia Yiming, and your father is about to take up a new job. The time is welcoming and sending off, Mr. Pang may be promoted, and your parents also want to show filial piety, and they also want to take care of their own old people and house concubines and concubines. I went to the West Courtyard of Pang Mansion before I left Beijing that day. I inquired whether the official ship between the capital and the south of the Yangtze River could be accepted. He said that he wanted to bring his two sons and grandchildren from his hometown to study in the capital. I asked Du Zhong to help him do it. When the time comes, there may be more than one or two children... ...This large expense, your father is new here, I am afraid it will be difficult to support, so I brought it for you!"

"Okay, then I will thank you and accept it for my parents!"

Seeing Zheng Jingyan show her the back of the head again, Yiqing could only say, "Can you turn around? The car stopped, and I want to ask you something!"

Zheng Jingyan turned his face slowly, facing Yiqing's bright eyes, his eyes flickered involuntarily.

But Xia Yiqing leaned forward, almost pressed against his body, and whispered into his ear, "Tell me the truth: Can your Qin royal party succeed? Do you have confidence?"

Through the thin spring shirt, Yiqing's warm body temperature instantly spread throughout his body, and the unique elegant fragrance surrounded him. The depression in Zheng Jingyan's heart disappeared, and he felt a little dizzy. He didn't bother to blame Yiqing for asking too boldly. Suddenly, I didn't want to get really angry with her, so I looked down at her deeply, and replied:

"Of course we are confident! We will go all out and make it happen!"

Xia Yiqing and him looked at each other for a moment, then nodded: "I'm taking the whole family on your boat, I can't retreat, let's go, I'm afraid no one will go with me, so I can only follow you! I only hope that you will end up with me!" win!"

Zheng Jingyan put his arms around Yiqing's soft and pretty shoulders, and said close to her ear, "Yiqing, you have to trust me...Trust King Qin!"

"Oh, I see!"

Yiqing shrank her neck, looked out of the car window, and hurriedly pushed him: "My father and third uncle are here, get out of the car!"
