Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 174 Rules
Yiqing greeted the old lady and Mrs. Zheng first, and then asked if the old lady still had a bad cough?Chun Nuan came up and said that she had coughed three or two times in the middle of the night yesterday, and she took medicine on time, and the coughing times were less this morning. Yiqing smiled and said, "That means Doctor Guan's prescription is very good, and it's okay if you don't cough anymore." I still have to continue to use the decoction, the cough must be cured and cleared!"

After Yiqing finished speaking, she turned to the two aunts and said hello to each of them, and then explained the reason for being late to the old lady, and then sat down beside Mrs. Zheng.

The two aunts were there, but there were no cousins ​​at the banquet. Yiqing naturally wanted to ask to show her concern. The old lady smiled and said, "Wen Yuan is reviewing his homework in the study in the front yard, and Yan'er invited him I got a master, he should have accompanied the master to dinner. Just now it was said that some classmates came to visit each other today, and he wanted to host a banquet in the front hall to entertain these guests. It’s okay for young people to get together, as long as they get drunk It’s good to study! Baozhang doesn’t need to go to college these days, he’s all with Wenyuan, and he doesn’t have time to accompany us! Don’t mention Wenhui girl, she’s weak, she came back from here yesterday, and said she caught a cold in the night wind , she is not feeling well and doesn’t want to walk! Forget it, your mother just asked the kitchen staff to cook some light and soft dishes for her and send them to Changxiyuan... It’s just us here, let’s eat!"

Yiqing nodded and smiled to show that she understood, but she was thinking in her heart that she hoped that no talkative person would tell the old lady that she was just talking to that bastard Wang Wenhui on the veranda!

Feng Yuejiao came to serve her dishes, but Yiqing declined politely: "Cousin Yuejiao is really sensible and well-behaved, but we are of the same class, how dare you let me take care of me... Hey, aren't you hungry? Let's eat first ?”

Feng Yuejiao was a little embarrassed, looked at the two aunts, and said softly: "I'll eat later, I have to serve the elders well first!"

Fang Zheng cleared his throat, and Wang Zheng raised his face when he heard the sound, looked sideways at Yiqing and said, "In a rich family like ours, the rules and etiquette are very strict. When eating, the daughter-in-law should serve the family first. The elders eat, and the daughter-in-law can sit down to eat after the elders have finished eating... Nephew and daughter-in-law, your mother is also from a family, hasn't she taught you? Yue Jiaoer grew up beside the old lady, and the old lady She has been carefully trained, so she understands this rule! Even if you are hungry, you have to endure it, and serve your elders first, this is true filial piety and virtuousness!"

Mrs. Zheng waved her hand and said: "Forget it, our family has a lot of servants that we need, so why bother to burden our own children! Originally, there are only a few children in the family. If you keep messing around with your little wife, no one will accompany my old lady to eat! Qing'er is very filial, I don't want those vain gifts, nothing compares to a family sitting around, eating green vegetables and swallowing white water is delicious! Yuejiao, don't stand still, sit down and eat! Well, it's just your sister Sit on the side!"

Feng Yuejiao politely told her to sit down, walked to Yiqing's side, called "sister", and sat down next to her.

The cry of her sister made Yiqing extremely depressed, feeling that her body was covered with black ants, which made her extremely uncomfortable.

Fang Zheng said: "Mother, the rules passed down from the ancestors are not empty etiquette! If you know it, you will say that you love the younger generation, but if you don't know, you will blame you for pampering the granddaughter-in-law and breaking the ancestral rules and precepts!"

Wang Zhengshi also said: "That's right, mother, love is love, and the rules can't be abandoned at all, otherwise, it will become a habit in the future. If there are foreigners at home who come to see the two granddaughter-in-laws so lazy, why not make fun of our family? When they marry their own wives, I'm afraid they won't know how to teach them!"

Yiqing smiled and said: "The eldest aunt has taught me in the Hou Mansion for a long time, and I probably know the ways of the eldest aunt. Apart from strict requirements, there is still a little bit of slack! But I didn't expect that the second aunt is more important than the eldest aunt. Strict! My second aunt, do all the daughters-in-law in your family really have to do this? You have to stand behind the elders every meal, and wait for the elders to finish eating before they can sit down and eat?"

"That's natural!"

Wang Zheng's face was serious, and the contempt and arrogance in his eyes was exactly the same as Wang Wenhui's: "I'm not like your mother-in-law, who is as gentle and soft as dough! I have been married to the Wang family for more than [-] years, and I have managed the family for more than [-] years! In our royal family, I say that one cannot have two, the rules are strict, the family style is good, and the son and daughter-in-law are not dissatisfied! Two daughter-in-laws have been in the house for three years, and which meal does not first serve the elders, their husbands, and children? Uncles, sisters-in-law, can you eat them afterward? I’ve never been like you, and you just go to the table and take a bowl to eat as soon as you come, regardless of the elders, it’s too unruly!"

Yiqing deliberately lowered her eyes as if thinking, and then asked Feng Yuejiao in a voice that seemed to be whispered, but in fact the whole table and even the maid standing behind asked Feng Yuejiao: "Cousin Yuejiao, why don't I understand? Cousin Wenyuan is The eldest son of Wang, right? But isn’t Wen Yuan’s cousin unmarried? Where did the second aunt get the two daughter-in-laws?”

Although Feng Yuejiao has the help of her aunt and wife and the support of the old lady, she is not afraid of Yiqing, but the old lady asked her to make up with Yiqing, and there must be no quarrel between the main wife and the side wife, otherwise she will be left alone if she suffers in the future. , Feng Yuejiao also has her own petty temper, but she really wants to get Yiqing's approval. After all, Yiqing is brother Yan's wife, and it's no good to have a bad relationship with her!
So in the past few days, Feng Yuejiao kept lowering her posture to please Yiqing, but Yiqing ignored her and used a very lethal look of contempt to prevent her from approaching. This time, Yiqing suddenly took the initiative to inquire, she was overjoyed for a while, she didn't care to look at other people's eyes, and immediately replied:
"My sister doesn't know something. Cousin Wen Yuan is the eldest son, and he has two elder brothers who were born in concubine!"

Yiqing listened, and deliberately elongated her voice: "Oh, so it is like this! The daughter-in-law married by the concubine's son should have more rules, otherwise the mother-in-law will not be able to gain authority in the future! This is what I heard from my natal aunt. You said it! But if the son-in-law remarries his daughter-in-law, then there is no need to do this!"

Wang Zheng's face turned dark immediately, and he raised his hand to slap the chopsticks on the table. Mrs. Zheng saw her and asked with concern: "Second sister, is this dish not to your liking? If it's not good, let them change it to another one." What kind of dishes do you want?"

The corner of Wang Zhengshi's mouth twitched a few times, and he could only swallow his breath, and said with a forced smile: "You are welcome, sister-in-law, these dishes are all my favorite, very good!"

After speaking, she looked at Yiqing sharply, then lowered her head to eat the vegetables.

Mrs. Zheng said to Yiqing and Feng Yuejiao: "You two girls, what are you talking about if you don't eat well? It seems that your second aunt is right. I still have to use the rules to suppress you! For today Come on, no talking at the dinner table!"

Yiqing originally thought that the old lady would say, "From today onwards, you have to stand behind and watch me finish eating before you eat", but her little face was so nervous that she heard the old lady say that talking is not allowed at the dinner table, She immediately burst into a sweet smile and said to the old lady:
"Thank you, old ancestor, for being considerate! I didn't want to talk at first, but I was so hungry! I just talked about this rule, so I couldn't help but go along with it... From now on, I don't have to do this anymore, it's great!"

Mrs. Zheng put a chicken wing into her bowl, smiled lovingly and said, "Eat slowly even if you are hungry, don't swallow it!"

"Yes, thank you mother!"

Yiqing stood up and put some favorite dishes for the old lady and Mrs. Zheng with her serving chopsticks and put them on their respective plates. She also added a few chopstick dishes for each of the two aunts and wives. The old lady looked at the obedient and filial daughter-in-law, nodded and smiled happily, but the two aunts and wives wished to shoot Yiqing across from each other.

It stands to reason that Fang Zheng's resentment against Yiqing does have her reasons. Ever since the Hou Mansion married such a granddaughter-in-law, she hasn't had a good day!This goblin woman made her miserable, fortunately, she helped her mother to arrange this wedding for her nephew, if she had known this, she would have prevented Xia Yiqing from entering the house if she was killed!

And the second aunt's wife, Wang Zhengshi, just came back to her natal family, so she shouldn't have such a big hatred for Yiqing, but she had a thorough talk with her sister Fang Zhengshi last night, and she knew all kinds of things that happened after Yiqing married into the Hou's mansion. Regarding the matter, Fang Zheng's awareness of hidden dangers was deliberately increased, indicating that if Yiqing was allowed to be favored like this, the two sisters would gradually lose their mother's love!After her mother returns to the west, the Hou Mansion will be completely in Xia Yiqing's hands, and she won't give them any more benefits!Wang Zheng couldn't help becoming anxious, and when he returned home, the joy of being reunited with his mother hadn't faded away, and was ridiculed by the little daughter-in-law, insinuating that she didn't know the rules and disrespected her elder sister, Wang Zheng felt resentment in her heart. It accumulated in an instant.He decided to join hands with his elder sister, Fang Zheng, to teach this grandson-in-law of the Hou Mansion a lesson, who came from a small family.

But she didn't expect that she hadn't learned a few words yet, and instead she was ridiculed by her nephew and daughter-in-law. If she wanted to get angry, she had to worry about her status as an elder, and she discovered something: her sister-in-law, Xu, who had always been soft and deceitful, seemed to have a similar relationship with her. It used to be different!Although she still looked like soft dough, she sat quietly with a smile and said nothing, but her eyes were no longer erratic, it seemed that she suddenly had a backbone, very calm and calm... Xu's Could this change be because of Xia Yiqing?

Xia Yiqing, this little girl from the countryside is really disgusting!
Why should she have such good luck that Yan'er was attracted to her as soon as she came to the capital?Marrying into the Hou's mansion and becoming a noble Mrs. Hou, enjoying the glory and wealth, but not satisfied, she still has to take care of others, trying to cut off the interests and dignity of the aunts and wives, she can't even think about it!
Wang Zheng strongly agreed with her elder sister Fang Zheng's approach: help Feng Yuejiao to be his concubine wife, and then take that Wang Yaozhen into the mansion, and in the future, she will persuade her mother to marry more young and beautiful concubines for her nephew. Now, the nephew's heart will be dispersed, and he will no longer favor Xia Yiqing alone, so that the Hou Mansion will not be controlled by a woman surnamed Xia!
