Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 175 Rumors
After the meal, Yiqing and Mrs. Zheng helped the old lady back to the main hall from the small flower hall. When mentioning the wedding banquet at Yiqing's natal family a few days later, the old lady said with a smile: "My in-laws are blessed with three blessings, and our grandparents and grandchildren must go. Three blessings come to the door, that is very rare, go and come back with some happiness! There must be a lot of people on that day, and it will be lively, um, I want to pick the best clothes to wear, I can’t call your mother’s grandmother Compare me!"

Yiqing burst into laughter: "Grandmother, my natal grandmother can't compare to you! Look at your overall demeanor, both elegant and rich, with a noble appearance. My natal grandmother is just an ordinary little old lady. She saw you , I'm afraid I'm going to turn into a gourd with a mouth!"

"Why is that?"

Yiqing gestured with one hand to match the expression on her face: "Old Madam Zheng walks over in all her splendor, and Madam Xia is so dumbfounded that she doesn't dare to talk nonsense anymore!"

Old Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng were shaking with laughter, and Mrs. Zheng patted her: "You monkey, you know how to arrange our old lady! You should fight!"

The grandparents, grandparents, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked together, laughing and laughing all the way, but Fang Zhengshi and Wang Zhengshi who followed behind were sullen and sullen.

After drinking tea, Mrs. Zheng rushed Yiqing back to rest: "I'm tired this morning, go back and have a good rest. The young people sleep soundly, and their strength recovers quickly. I have Chunnuan here and they are all very happy." It’s working fine, don’t worry, the most important thing is to rest, come back later at night!”

"Yes, grandma and aunt don't sit too long, remember to take a nap!"

After Yiqing finished speaking, she helped Mrs. Zheng leave together.

After the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law left, Fang Zheng sent Chun Nuan and other girls away, and Wang Zheng surrounded the old lady Zheng. At first, you talked with each other, and the two sisters worked together to advise the old lady not to be like Xu. She is so soft and easy to be fooled by Yiqing's rhetoric. She is still young and has not yet made up her mind. Who knows what her heart will become in the future?Now that the entire Hou Mansion is in her hands, this is too careless!It's better to take back all the power in Yiqing's hands while Yan'er is not at home, so as not to regret it that day!
Mrs. Zheng listened to her daughters' nagging, pondered for a moment, and sighed: "You are just girls from the Hou family. When we were daughters at home, we parents do our best to spoil you. Once married, you are from other people's family. Don't worry too much about the affairs of the government! You can also see that Yan'er doesn't care about the internal affairs, and your sister-in-law is soft, but Qing'er, she is very powerful, and carefully annoyed her. In the future, when I am gone, you can still It's time to ask her!"

"Mother!" Fang Zheng said angrily, "Since you know she is powerful, why didn't you suppress it? You are still here now, just watching her flamboyant, if you don't rectify the family law to restrain her, wait until... really At that time, will she still be able to tolerate us? Look at her talking back to me every now and then. How long has it been since the second sister came back? She just entered the door, and she was so angry! Which family's daughter-in-law is this How do you treat your elders?"

Wang Zhengshi slapped her hands, and then said: "She is so complacent! She thinks that she is the most important person in the house because she is in charge of the whole family, and she doesn't take you seriously, mother! This little girl, It's too arrogant! According to me, mother, you should take away half of the power in her hand. You can't come forward to take care of it. Let my sister, or Wenyuan Wenhui help you run errands, wouldn't it be enough? This is a restraint Stay with her, teach her to be more honest, and fear you! We aunts and aunts can hold her back when we come back to our mother’s house! Sister-in-law, nephew or nephew's wife, who is not the most respectful? Our family is like this, then Xia Yiqing is too rude to me, I can't swallow it!"

Mrs. Zheng gave Wang Zheng a reproachful look: "You, you are ashamed to say it! Every time I come back, I specially teach you to respect your sister-in-law! Have you done it? I came in for a long time yesterday and didn't go to you. Sister-in-law is presenting the ceremony, Qing'er said that, it is still very tactful! If Lanti, do you think what she said would be nice?"

Wang Zhengshi snorted, and said with a pout: "Sister-in-law is also very dull, she has to wait for me to see her, I am busy talking to you and sister, can't she say hello to me first?"

Mrs. Zheng sighed, and taught with great patience: "She is the sister-in-law, and you are the younger sister. It is reasonable for you to greet her first!"

Mrs. Wang Zheng still wanted to argue, but Mrs. Fang Zheng interrupted her with a wave of her hand, and said to Mrs. Zheng: "Mother, let's not talk about anything else, I think what the second sister said is very reasonable: Yan'er is not at home at this time, really should put her Take back all kinds of power in Yiqing's hands. You know, the Xia family has just moved from Jiangnan and has no family background. It is necessary to prevent Yiqing from moving the money of the Marquis Mansion back to her mother's family! If it is a normal subsidy, that's fine, I'm afraid of her Young people don’t know how to measure, it’s not good to take too much away, and when Yan’er comes back to find out, the husband and wife can’t have a grievance?”

Mrs. Fang Zheng said these words with a worried expression, which really caught the attention of Mrs. Zheng. She hummed, frowned slightly, and said, "Qing'er shouldn't be that kind of person, right? She cares about it." It’s not been a day or two since the treasury, the account books are clean, there’s nothing unclear about it, your sister-in-law and I have called someone to check carefully...don’t talk nonsense!”

Wang Zheng said angrily: "Mother, Xia Yiqing is not that kind of person. Could it be that your daughter is a nonsense person? There have long been rumors outside: Xia Yiqing's father is just a seventh-rank county magistrate, and he can move house when he comes to the capital." Living in the compound of the deep house that was originally reserved for fourth-rank officials, I heard that the building and decoration in the house are extremely exquisite, and all kinds of gardening are too beautiful to behold. It would cost twenty thousand taels of silver! The Xia family is not a wealthy family in the south of the Yangtze River, so where did he get so much money to buy such a big house? Many people said that it was Yiqing who transported the money back to her natal family!"

Mrs. Zheng was slightly stunned, and glared at her daughter: "Can you believe all the rumors? You just came from the capital, and you don't know the truth, so you can't say what others say!"

"If you don't believe me, you can always trust my sister, right? Ask her!"

Mrs. Zheng looked at Fang Zheng, and Fang Zheng said with a sneer: "Is it true? Mother can ask someone to find out! I just heard about this - the house is beautifully decorated, and the furniture inside Things, I heard that Yishuier is all made of very precious mahogany, and everything in the house is very valuable, and the place where the second daughter of the Xia family lives is simply a crystal palace! It all needs silver, tens of thousands The two must! Even if Yiqing didn't smuggle the money back to her natal family, if Yan'er listened to her and the husband and wife gave it together, then it shouldn't be right? Have they asked the elders in the family? The taels of silver are good enough to please the father-in-law's family, but in everything, there are two. This time, tens of thousands of taels will be given away. If the gift is less next time, then the Xia family will be happy? Yan'er is not worried about money, looking at his father-in-law With a bad face, he will only add more silver taels... How much money can our Hou Mansion have to withstand their transfer like this?"

Mrs. Zheng gradually tightened her face, pursed her lips tightly, and said after a long while: "Where did this rumor come from, who do you want to ask?"
