Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 108
Mrs. Zheng, Mrs. Zheng and Wan tasted the cold salad with bowls and chopsticks. The more they ate, the more delicious they became. Everyone ate a whole bowl without knowing it. Others couldn't help but pick a few and put them in their mouths Taste it, after a taste, how can I keep my mouth shut, Mrs. Zheng rewarded Mother Lin with another bowl, and soon, there were no more than five or six pots of cold salad left!
Everyone was still unsatisfied, Zheng Lanti asked Chun Nuan: "Is there any more? Bring some more!"

Chunnuan wondered: "It's gone, it's all here!"

Feng Yuejiao bit the chopsticks, Wang Wenhui muttered: "This is too little!"

Yiqing sneered in her heart: I just disliked it just now, now I know less?Two goods, too lazy to bird you!
In fact, Yiqing taught Mother Liu, Pang Ruxue and Leqing how to make these cold dishes.

Mama Liu and Le Qing are the best learners. Le Qing can add seasonings randomly. The little ones tend to focus on the taste, and the spicy taste is too spicy for ordinary people. Pang Ruxue is not skilled enough, but the taste is still authentic.

If these cousins ​​are well-behaved and cute enough, she can also consider finding other ingredients for cold salad for them to eat, but it will take half an hour to satisfy their taste buds, but for now, let their appetites hang!
Zheng Jingyan held a banquet in the outer courtyard to entertain guests, mainly to accompany the sixth uncle. As for Fang Baochan's husband, the uncle of the Gong family, he never paid much attention to him.

This cousin-in-law, eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling is all-encompassing, and he is a dandy who cannot be supported by mud, so he is not worth supporting.

After fulfilling all due etiquette, Zheng Jingyan asked the Qing guests to accompany him at the table, and he left the table first, and went into the inner courtyard to meet his grandmother and mother.

When the lights came on, An He Tang had just withdrawn their seats. Everyone ate some sour, fragrant and slightly spicy cold salad before the meal, and everyone's appetite was whetted. The big fish and meat were very delicious. It is enough to be full, and I am willing to add half a bowl of rice to make me full.

Zheng Jingyan walked into the hall and saw that the hall was full of flowers and bustling. Grandmother laughed and talked to Wan Shi while stretching out her palm for Yiqing to pinch her. Zheng Jingyan smiled: Yiqing, what are you doing here?

When she was young, because her mother-in-law was sick and weak, she got advice from the doctor in the medicine hall, and learned some ways to keep in good health. She also learned massage and kneading techniques from the doctor's wife. She can recognize many acupuncture points on the human body. Please grandma and mother!His grandmother and mother worried about him and loved him for more than [-] years, but he couldn't repay him. The playful and sweet Yiqing came to fulfill his filial piety in front of the elders instead of him, doing things for the elders that he wanted to do but had no time to do... This is a destiny in the dark, Yiqing, you are bestowed on me by heaven!

Seeing her grandson walking in with a happy face, Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but patted Yiqing happily: With the granddaughter-in-law here, the grandson began to like going back to the inner courtyard!
In the past, he would find excuses to eat in the outer courtyard even if he didn't have to socialize. The purpose was to avoid his grandmother's nagging, forcing him to agree to go out to see the girl. He really had to come to pay his respects to his grandmother and mother. The sickly appearance, not having a headache, but diarrhea, sore waist and weak legs, makes the two old people worry. It is rare for them to be full of energy and look good like this!

Zheng Jingyan greeted his grandmother and mother, and then slowly looked back at Yiqing. Every time he came over, Yiqing always looked at him eagerly, which made him very happy.

If you don't care, how can you care?

If Yiqing heard what he said, she would definitely roll her eyes: This Anhetang is full of old and young women, they are so boring, you come in from the outside with a fresh air, at least you are a man, if you don’t look at who are you looking at?
From the reactions of the cousins ​​when they saw Zheng Jingyan walking in, it was clear that this was not just Yi Qing's idea.

Fang Baochan and Wang Wenhui stood up and followed their cousin with their eyes. Even the arrogant Zheng Lanti stepped forward to greet him abnormally today. Feng Yuejiao didn't wait for Zheng Jingyan and Liu Cousin's aunt to finish talking, and rushed forward and hugged him tightly. His right arm shook his body and shouted: "Brother Jing, Brother Jing, I'm back! Brother Jing, I miss you so much, do you miss me? Look at me, have I grown up?"

The girl's voice is soft and delicate, there is nothing wrong with it, acting like a baby is the prerogative of a little girl, but if she deliberately changes her tone, it will make people speechless.

Yiqing couldn't bear to hear or look, she lowered her eyes and wanted to cover her ears, but that was rude, so she had to let her ears suffer.

Zheng Jingyan quickly glanced at Yiqing, and said to Feng Yuejiao with a flat face: "Cousin Yuejiao is back, I have heard about Liu Cousin from the front. Aunt Liu Cousin brought you here, it's hard work! The journey is tiring, it should be Go back and rest earlier."

Feng Yuejiao pursed her lips: "Brother Jing doesn't like me anymore? Hurry up as soon as we meet!"

Mrs. Zheng said, "Yuejiao, why are you so ignorant? Your cousin is doing it for your own good!"

Feng Yuejiao said: "But there are still guests here, Sister Lanti and Sister Baochan are still here, how can I leave first?"

"Well, just sit down! Don't pester your cousin, he is also very tired. He just came back from outside yesterday, and today he accompanied your sister-in-law back to her mother's house. He hasn't rested yet!"

Feng Yuejiao heard this, and hurriedly dragged Zheng Jingyan to sit down on an embroidered chair, and said, "Brother Jing, sit down, is Brother Jing thirsty? Jiaoer will pour you some tea!"

Zheng Jingyan waved his hand and said, "I'm not thirsty, you can sit down too."

Feng Yuejiao smiled and sat down beside him, stood up again after thinking about it: "Brother Jing is tired, Jiaoer will rub your shoulders for you!"

Among all the cousins, Feng Yuejiao is the most clingy and the most coquettish, with an innocent and innocent smile, and a kind of indomitable tenacity in her temperament. In the past, Zheng Jingyan used Wang Wenhui to deal with her, but now with Yiqing watching, it seems that this trick is not enough. Easy to use.

He stood up before Feng Yuejiao's hand was on his shoulder, walked to the old lady, stood next to Yiqing, looked at Zheng Lanti, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Grandma, what should I do about Lanti's matter?" ?”

The old lady closed her eyes, and sighed in a low voice: "Let's talk about it, there are so many people nowadays, so don't mention it!"

At this time, Fang Zheng brought Fang Baochan over, and Fang Zheng asked Zheng Jingyan with a smile: "Yan'er, Mrs. Gong is at the banquet outside, isn't he drunk?"

Zheng Jingyan shook his head: "I guess he's not drunk, he was still sitting properly when I came in."

Fang Baochan took a step forward and said to Zheng Jingyan: "Cousin Yan, Zijie is ready now, what Cousin originally said was for him..."

"Ok?"

Mrs. Zheng opened her eyes, looked at Wan's side, and stared at Fang Zheng's mother and daughter sternly: "Are you so impatient? Where can you go? These are also relatives of my family. If there are outsiders, you Also like this?"

Wan Shi smiled and looked at Mrs. Zheng, feeling very embarrassed.

Zheng Jingyan skipped Fang Zhengshi, glanced at Fang Baochan indifferently, and said, "Since I'm in a hurry, I might as well say it straight: don't talk about that matter!"

Fang Baochan was taken aback: "Cousin originally promised well, but now why does he go back on his word?"

Zheng Jingyan said coldly: "What? I still need to give you a reason? Could it be that I owe you?"

Fang Zheng gave Fang Baochan a push: "Why are you talking to your cousin? There are no rules!"

Seeing that her grandson was angry, Mrs. Zheng also put on a straight face: "Girl Baochan, I have never seen you like this before. You have only been married to the Gong's family for a few days, and you have become a bastard! It wasted my years of upbringing!"

Fang Baochan covered her face and began to cry: "Grandmother! His parents are so cruel that they want to separate us as husband and wife! It's fine to separate us, but we are given nothing but profit-making farms. How can I live like this?" Huh? If the cousin finds a good job for Zijie, the parents-in-law will not drive us out because the Hou Mansion is willing to support and take care of us. If the cousin ignores us...the granddaughter will not be able to live It's gone!"

Mrs. Zheng asked: "Since it is to be divided, it means that the brothers share the family property equally. Everyone, good and bad, has a share. Why do you only give you some things that you lose but don't gain?"

Fang Baochan said in tears: "Grandmother also knows that there are six or seven brothers in the Gong family. Zijie is neither the eldest son nor the youngest son. He ranks in the middle and is the least loved by his parents! Since the beginning of spring this year, his brothers have been arguing a lot. Treated like this by them!"

"No reason!"

Mrs. Zheng patted the mahogany arhat bed: "I will invite his mother to be a guest tomorrow, and I will ask her why?"

Fang Baochan didn't have time to speak, Zheng Jingyan said: "Before grandma wants to take care of other people's housework, let grandson tell you something!"

Mrs. Zheng looked back at her grandson: "Yan'er, tell me!"

"Why did the Gong family separate the fourth son Gong Zijie? It was because he gambled! His gambling nature remained unchanged, and people came to ask for his gambling debts again and again. The family couldn't bear it, so they took money from the public account again and again. He filled it in and repeated it. Gong Zijie spent more than ten times the money spent on other houses in the Gong family for a year! The family's public account was in short supply because of him. Tighten your belt, and starve your wife and children in the house, so that Gong Zijie can go to the gambling house to have fun!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zheng glared at Fang Baochan angrily: "Is this all true? You didn't tell the truth, I almost lost my old face for you!"

Zheng Jingyan said: "It's true! My aunt and my cousin Baochan begged me, and I also want Gong Zijie to do something serious, but Gong Zijie doesn't like to study, and it's impossible to become an official through the imperial examination. It requires concentration, meticulousness and responsibility, but he can’t do it! I think he is tall enough, and his physique looks good. I originally wanted to find him a job as the deputy battalion of the left battalion of the Dragon and Tiger Camp. It is possible for someone else to earn a piece of military merit within three or two years, and find a way to get promoted! But to enter Zuoying, one must go through some secret tests. Nine losses, the more you lose, the more you gamble! Not only that, but he also takes the top card in the brothel and raises an outside room... Cousin Baochan can go to the back street of your Gongfu to inquire. There are two young widows who he secretly raised; In the Wang alley, there is a young woman who lives in a small courtyard with a single door at the corner, she was brought out from the painting boat, and she is already pregnant!"
