Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 182 Excessive
Since Wang Zheng's arrival, eating in Shang'an Hetang is no longer an ordinary thing in Yiqing's view. If possible, she would like to find an excuse to eat alone in Yuhui Courtyard.

Without Zheng Jingyan, even Mrs. Zheng and Yiqing would not go to An He Tang. I guess the old lady would not be lonely. Surrounded by two aunts and a niece and grandniece, the old man is very happy!
This was originally a normal phenomenon: the Zheng family had few heirs and the population was too small. It happened that Mrs. Fang Zheng came back to live with her natal family, and her grandson and granddaughter Cheng Huan were under her knees. Too much!Mrs. Zheng has not been able to integrate into them for many years. Yiqing does not care about integrating into them, but in order to show her filial piety, she always has to serve the old lady. The old lady has always been very kind to her. It didn't have much influence, but I didn't expect that the Wang Zheng family came. The two sisters combined their swords, and their influence increased greatly. Indifferent.

During the meal, they could only see their mother and daughter laughing and talking about Yan Yan, Zheng sisters one topic after another, all the things that the old lady was very interested in, and she was very happy when she heard it. Feng Yuejiao, under Wang Zheng's training, completely Completely pretending to be a granddaughter-in-law, serving vegetables, adding soup and rice for the elders, becoming more and more proficient in cooking, the old lady praised her three or two times, and every time she praised her, Wang Zheng used a pair of scornful eyes to scorn and provoke her Looking at Yiqing carefully, she smiled and encouraged Feng Yuejiao: "You are a lady, so your manners are naturally better than those from a small family!"

Yiqing prided herself on her strong mentality and didn't bother to pay attention to them, but once, twice, or three times, she became impatient and just stared back. Wang Zheng was about to have an attack, but Mrs. Zheng used the excuse of persuading her to eat, and personally Standing up to serve the old lady and auntie, Wang Zhengshi had no choice but to give up, staring at Yiqing with sharp knife-like eyes, wishing she could not hold her head up.

How could Yiqing be willing to give in easily?So there are always a few lightning flashes across the dinner table soundlessly, there is no thunderstorm but there are stormy clouds, Yiqing feels that if this continues, she must gain weight--a bad habit left over from her previous life, when she is in a bad mood, she will have a big appetite, even if she is not satisfied with the food , she swallowed a lot of food at each meal.

Therefore, she really didn't want to go to Anheyuan for dinner, but she couldn't find a reason. As the only grandchild in this mansion, it would be unfilial for her not to accompany the elders for dinner!

Mrs. Zheng saw these things in her eyes. She has a gentle temperament and is used to forbearance. Over the years, even if she has any dissatisfaction with her aunt, she would never say it. While not around, I talked to the old lady about Yiqing's recent mood changes.

"Qing'er has always liked to talk and laugh, but recently she has kept her eyes closed. I think the second aunt always talks like that, it's too much!"

Mrs. Zheng asked: "What did the second girl say to Qing'er?"

"I didn't specify it to Qing'er, but every time the second aunt said something about a lady, a small family, etc. in front of Qing'er, no one felt uncomfortable after hearing it!"

Mrs. Zheng glanced at Mrs. Zheng and said: "If you say that Qing'er is indeed from a small family... If it wasn't because of Yan'er, how could the Zheng family and the Xia family have this in-law marriage!"

Mrs. Zheng was stunned for a moment: "Mother, what are you saying now! Don't forget that Qing'er was proposed by our family, not... Qing'er is very nice, didn't you like Qing'er very much before?"

Mrs. Zheng nodded her head: "I didn't know Qing'er was the one we asked to marry first? We didn't treat her badly, did we? Qing'er is smart and intelligent, and I still like her now, but... if she is too smart, she will You don’t need to be in our house, so liking it is useless!”

"Mother, what do you say? Since she married into the Marquis's Mansion, Qing'er has served our elders with all her heart, and she has been doing her best to take care of the housework. She doesn't teach us to worry about it. She is a hundred times stronger than when I was a bride. !"

Old Mrs. Zheng sighed: "It's just that she's just planning to get her husband's property back to her mother's house. What's the use of being strong and capable?"

Mrs. Zheng was taken aback: "Mother, Qing'er is not that kind of person!"

Mrs. Zheng smiled wryly: "I don't want her to be that kind of person either! I asked Zheng Ji to go out and check. The mansion that Xia's family newly bought on Guangyi Street was in Yan'er's hands before marrying Yiqing. , and now the surname Yi has been changed to the Xia family's house quietly! Tell me, is this plausible?"

Mrs. Zheng said: "Qing'er has only recently started to take over the affairs of the outer courtyard. I heard last month that the Xia family's new house is about to be ready... Shouldn't it be Qing'er's business, is it Yan'er who sent it?"

"Even so, how could they make their own decisions on such a big matter without discussing it with their grandmother and mother? Yan'er has no time to tell us that Qing'er is with us every day, but she keeps silent. Isn't that true? Are you trying to hide it from us? I let her be such a little new daughter-in-law as a housekeeper because I trust her, and I hope she learns some skills and means soon. With a capable wife at home, Yan'er doesn't have to worry about it, but I don't want her to learn to be a housekeeper at the same time. Director, while learning to blind and plug the eyes and ears of the elders... If things go on like this, is it okay?"

Mrs. Zheng lowered her eyes: "Xu Shiqing'er is too embarrassed to tell us too soon. Mother, that's just a house. There are several other houses in our house, and we can't live in them. My in-laws came to the capital for the first time and gave them a house." It doesn't matter!"

"you!"

The old lady Zheng couldn't laugh or cry, she looked at her daughter-in-law and shook her head: "With a mother-in-law like you, Qing'er is really thoughtful, and she can eat you to death without any calculations! You have followed me to visit relatives for so many years, welcome Sending it to Hongdingbai, do you think I'm that petty, have I ever humiliated you with the gift list I sent out? Not to mention, the Rongping Hou Mansion is not the first one in the capital for the dowry gift for Yiqing, it is also the first The two attract attention! Yan'er's wedding banquet, even the old lady Jin said, "It's too luxurious!" I want to host things, I must keep up with the crowd, and even surpass others! But it can't be too much If you want to give away a house to your in-laws, it is not a big deal. If the children discuss with us and say that your in-laws are really in trouble, what can we do? Just give it, give a house worth 3000 taels of silver, that’s fine It’s too big! The communication between relatives is like a steady flow of water, so you can’t let go too much at once! Do you know? It was given to the Xia family’s house, and Zheng’s money was used for all decorations and all the furniture. Everything is new and brand new, and everything is of great value. The total cost is at least 5 to [-] taels! Daughter-in-law, the Zheng family is not just a relative of the Xia family, if everyone has such a request , can we handle it? If we don’t protect Yan’er’s house, our children and grandchildren will scold us!”

Mrs. Zheng's face changed slightly, she thought the same as the old lady, and only thought that the house that Yan'er gave to Xia's family was worth three to five thousand taels of silver at most, that would be a great affection, but who knew It would be 5000 to 5 taels of silver, which is indeed too much!
