Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 11
The mother and daughter had a discussion in the middle of the night that day, and in the end Pang Ruxue could only obey the two sisters' opinions: in order to keep the child in their womb, and in order to prevent Yiqing from being randomly betrothed by the Huang family, they must leave Xia's house as soon as possible without telling anyone. People, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble!

Pang Ruxue wanted to bid farewell to Xia Xiuping, but was bluffed by Xia Yiqing's words: "Mother, you also know that Daddy's everything is under Huang's control now, so you told Daddy, don't say that Daddy wants to save face and won't let you go, just go Even Mrs. Huang refused to let us go! Dad may be worried, but Mrs. Huang is afraid that you will leave the Xia family and set up a new family outside, and spread the word that you are Xia Xiuping's first wife. What face will she have then? You must know that you and your father have official documents as proof that they are the real first spouse. Huang is just the wife that the old lady thinks, and she will lose the lawsuit! So, she only needs to lock you in the back yard for the rest of her life. If you don't let her see anyone, she will be a regular wife for the rest of her life! Now you are arguing to go out and seek refuge with relatives. If there is a big trouble, then it's okay? Mrs. Huang will definitely not agree, she just stops it, she If you refuse to stop it, it will be even more terrifying! The Huang family has such a bit of power in the local area, if a robbery incident is deliberately created, our mother and daughter will have to finish the game halfway!"

Pang Ruxue is also 32 years old. Being bullied and suffering for 15 years has finally opened her mind a couple of times. Knowing how dangerous people's hearts are, she stopped talking and let Xia Yiqing make arrangements.

The blood in Leqing's eyes gradually subsided. During this time, Mrs. Huang came over to take a look. She pretended to give a small porcelain bottle with a dozen pills in it. According to Mrs. Huang, it clears away heat and detoxifies, Xia Leqing took it in her hand and said thank you , but how dare to eat indiscriminately?Just put it on the wall.

Mrs. Tong also came here once, and sent two bolts of old-colored satin silk. Summer is almost over, and she is only now distributing fabrics for summer clothes to the girls in the South Courtyard.

Xia Yiqing was indifferent to Tong Shi's various sarcasm about her marriage, and also restrained Le Qing not to allow her to talk nonsense. Tong Shi talked to herself for a while and found it boring, so she pulled her face down and said to Pang Ruxue:

"You originally said you would move out of the South Courtyard in seven, eight, or ten days, but now it's been eight days, and Yue Qing is fine, you should give me a day, so that I can teach someone to help you move things! My sister-in-law is waiting for the South Courtyard Well, it will take time to redecorate, and the distinguished guests will come in six or seven days! At that time, it will be my sister-in-law’s birthday, and my love’s engagement. Our family will have a big banquet for guests, and we will invite all the respectable wives in the city Ladies, my sister-in-law, Aizhi, and Xizhi are going to live with their parents for a year or so, so I can socialize more with everyone! The two sisters-in-law said they would make clothes for the two maids. There are relatives in the house, and when she comes to visit relatives, she must come with a gift on the day of the treat, and take a look at the eldest girl, maybe she will give a gift if she is satisfied! When the time comes, let Qing girl dress up, and she will be a concubine Don't be too shabby, you'll lose face to the Xia family!"

Xia Yiqing couldn't bear it anymore, so she walked over and yelled at Tong Shi: "You are a concubine! Your whole family's concubine!"

The servant girl who was honestly standing beside Tong Shi suddenly burst out laughing when she heard this sentence, Tong Shi was suddenly furious, she had no choice but to take Xia Yiqing, she turned around and grabbed her maid, pinched and beat her fiercely. Seeing this, the maid hurriedly came up to persuade her, but Tong was still unrepentant, walking and beating, swearing, the girl hissed and screamed, and the group left the hospital weeping and howling.

The next day, another woman in front of Huang's came over and said that the back yard had been cleaned up, and asked Aunt Pang to take a look.

Le Qing was sitting on the porch, grabbed a broom and threw it on the woman's head, scolding: "You are blind! Please go to Mrs. Huang's place, this is the wife's yard. Can you see clearly?" Get out of here! Auntie, I'll smash it later!"

After hearing the report, Mrs. Huang came with seven or eight people. As soon as she entered the door, she said loudly: "Which one is it? Which unruly little hoof, come out and let me see! I dared to fight with my predecessors, it's against the sky !"

Pang Ruxue and Xia Leqing were sitting on the porch embroidering. Afraid that her daughter would suffer, she hurriedly stood up. Before she could speak, a door creaked behind her. Xia Yiqing came out, protecting Xia Ruxue behind her, and stood on the steps. Shang smiled and said: "Yo! Aunt Huang is here, Aunt Huang, please sit down!"

"you!"

Huang clenched his fists in his sleeves, and shot at Pang Ruxue sharply: "Pang! I underestimated you, so you are such a duplicity! What did you say a few days ago? You promised the master, Don’t need to say anything, I will move in seven or eight days, but now I teach the little hooves to rebel! Do you think I’m so easy to talk to as an old lady? Very good, I should show you my tricks!”

She took a step back and waved her hand: "Come here! Go up four or five people and throw down all the floating objects in the house, leaving three or four people to transport them to the back yard! Tonight, I will let them be neighbors with chickens and dogs!"

Seven or eight women, servants and maids got the order, and immediately rolled up their sleeves and started to act.

Xia Yiqing still stood where she was, still smiling gently, her eyes met Huang's, shining like a cold star, her unruffled Duanfang's composure made Huang's heart slightly startled.

After seeing several gorgeously dressed young girls coming out of the door from which Xia Yiqing came out, Huang Shi suddenly understood what was going on, and hastily shouted to stop the servants: "Stop, don't move! Get out!"

While speaking, she also turned around quickly, and left the South courtyard quickly surrounded by her servants.

Xia Yiqing giggled crisply behind her: "What's wrong, Aunt Huang? Don't you want to smash our yard? You smash it! I don't mind!"

It's no coincidence that a few friends who met in embroidery villages and bookstores came to visit today. If Mrs. Huang wants to smash it, let her make a fuss, and let outsiders see her hideous face!

It's a pity that Mrs. Huang was also clever, so she didn't fall for the trick!

That Huang gritted her teeth and left, sneering secretly in her heart: She is not so stupid, falling into the trap of that yellow-haired girl!In a few days, she will hold a big banquet, and invite the famous ladies and ladies in the city to come to her house as guests, and promote her status as the main family of Xia's family, how can she make a mistake at this juncture?The girls who came out of the room were not as well dressed as the ones she usually saw on various social occasions. They were obviously not girls from ordinary families, and they might be the guests of the banquet in the future. How could they be here? Let them see her bad side at this time?
It's just that, I didn't expect that poor girl Xia Yiqing to be able to make friends with a girl from such a good family background!
After noon, Mrs. Huang heard her mother-in-law come to report that the visiting girls were only the daughters and nieces of the proprietor of Zhiyun Embroidery Village in the city and the proprietor of Fengya Bookstore. As the guests at the family banquet, Huang Shi breathed a sigh of relief, but also hated Xia Yiqing to the bone - let that damn girl play tricks for nothing!
The next day, she came to the south courtyard again to find Xia Yiqing to settle the accounts, but she saw that the courtyard door was tightly closed, and she couldn't open it no matter how hard she knocked. Mrs. Huang asked someone to carry a ladder to climb up the wall. The bamboo pole was knocked down mercilessly, and Huang was so angry that he jumped up. Seeing that the sun was getting brighter, he had to go back for a lunch break and think of a way to come back.

But she didn't know that Xia Yiqing's mother and daughter were busy packing their things at this time - they were leaving Huzhou tomorrow!
The proprietress of Zhiyun Embroidery Village recognized a rich merchant from Yizhou who was going to deliver a batch of goods to the capital. Four or five large merchant ships went together and arrived in Huzhou in two days. Hearing that Xia Yiqing's mother and daughter were going to Beijing to celebrate their grandfather's birthday, they enthusiastically expressed that they could ask family friends for them to let the mother and daughter go to Beijing with the merchant ship. In this way, not only would they save most of their troubles, but it would be relatively safer, Xia Yiqing The sisters are naturally very happy!

She was about to leave the Xia family where she had lived for more than ten years, and Xia Xiuping, Pang Ruxue seemed to have lost something, with a sullen expression on her face.

Another troublesome person is Mama Liu. Mama Liu was originally from the North. She sold herself as a slave to a wealthy family when she was young. When her five-year-old and three-year-old son and daughter drowned in the pool on the same day, Ms. Liu was distraught, but she was blamed by the mistress for not being optimistic about the child. A lowly concubine, the man died within two years, and she was sold again. It was also bad luck. No matter where she went, she was not safe. She was sold four or five times in the past seven or eight years. Pang Ruxue bought it and brought it back to Xia's family. Later, Xia's family got Pang Ruxue's money, expanded the house and bought servants. Xia Jin's bought the coachman Liu Da, and Liu's mother rationed Liu Da.

The problem now is: if Liu's mother wants to leave with Pang Ruxue, their family will be separated, because the coachman Liu Da is a servant of the Xia family, and Pang Ruxue does not have Liu Da's contract of sale, so he cannot take Liu Da and Gou Wang away together!
But Ms. Liu was reluctant to part with Pang Ruxue and her daughter. Although Pang Ruxue was weak and incompetent, she was the only master who made her settle down. The friendship between master and servant is as strong as that of family members!
Seeing Liu's mother sitting on the porch crying, Xia Yiqing was helpless.

However, Pang Ruxue put the deed of selling herself to Liu's mother, together with a purse containing 50 taels of silver, and put it in her hand, and said softly: "From now on, you will be a beloved man, and you will no longer be a servant for a slave, and you will rent a house outside by yourself." Live in a small house, so Uncle Liu and Gou Wanger can go over to reunite with you from time to time!"

Mother Liu knelt down on the ground and cried, "Ma'am, I would rather go with you..."

Pang Ruxue shook her head: "No! What about Gou Wang'er? He's only 12 years old, a child cannot leave his mother, and a mother cannot leave her child!"

Leqing used to drink mother Liu's milk when she was a child, and she was very dependent on mother Liu. She couldn't help crying and hugged mother Liu. Yiqing was also red-eyed, and walked over to mother Liu and said:
"Mom, don't cry. Let's go to the capital and send you as much money as possible. After two months, you can go to Zhiyun Embroidery Village at the end of each month and ask. I will write a letter to Qinglian, the lady of the embroidery village. I will send you the money as well." Go to her! If we have the ability, we will definitely send more, and then you let Uncle Liu redeem yourself, bring Gou Wang'er, and if you are willing to come to the capital to find us, come!"

Mother Liu cried again and fell to the ground, sobbing and shouting: "Madam...girl..."

In the early morning of the next day, when the first ray of sun rose, Pang Ruxue and her daughter boarded a large merchant ship and headed towards Uncle Liu, Mama Liu, Gou Wang, the proprietress of Zhiyun Embroidery Village and her family on the shore. Daughters Qinglian and Yulian waved frequently, the merchant ship raised its sails, and the fleet quickly disappeared from everyone's sight and disappeared into the boundless place where the water and the sky meet.
