Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 2 South Campus
Entering the inner courtyard, the three masters and servants walked along the cobblestone path to the south courtyard. The south courtyard was not too big, but the five blue-tiled houses were built solidly and reliably. It was built by Xia Yiqing's great-grandfathers with all their financial resources and painstaking efforts. The foundation is built high, and when you climb five stone steps, you will find a wide corridor with carved stone railings. Xia Yiqing and her younger sister Yueqing chased and frolicked along the corridor when they were young.This was the best ancestral house of the Xia family back then, and it was natural for the eldest son and daughter-in-law to live there. Pang Ruxue followed Xia Xiuping back to the Xia family, and lived here all the time, and gave birth to two daughters until today.

This does not mean that Pang Ruxue is treated well in the Xia family as the eldest daughter-in-law. The old lady Xia let their mother and daughter live here for a long time and did not come to harass her. The youngest sons naturally live in the brand new and spacious courtyard, and they don't look down on the old courtyard and old house.

The Xia family was not considered a high-end family in the local area. They inherited 1 to 1 acres of land and cultivated and studied for generations. After finally getting Xia Xiuping's high school, they rushed to Beijing to seek greater fame. Hua used one tael of silver to bring back a daughter-in-law, and Pang Ruxue brought back [-] taels of dowry silver. The pie fell from the sky, and the Xia family was so happy. At that time, she was very kind to Pang Ruxue. Unable to be coaxed, all the [-] taels of silver bills were handed over to the mother-in-law, and Mrs. Xia used the money to buy land and expand the house, and became a wealthy family that the neighbors envied. Xia Xiuping's younger brothers and sisters married Their marriages lead to good marriages, which make them more respectable in the city and gain the recognition and respect of the middle and upper classes in the city. The Xia family's glory began at that time.

The three years after Xia Xiuping and Pang Ruxue's marriage were the time when they were most in love. At that time, Xia Yiqing was just born, and the couple's love was full of sweetness. He just won the last Jinshi, and there is no way to stay in Beijing to hold a job. He still took Pang Ruxue's money and went around to do business, and got the post of magistrate of a certain county in the south of the Yangtze River. Salary.

The Xia family owns land, and Xia Xiuping has become an official. It is said that life is already very good. If we continue to live in a down-to-earth manner, the whole family will work together and plan slowly, and the family business will always grow bigger and bigger. Greedy enough, Xia Jinshi saw that her son was promising, and she became more and more complacent, thinking that her son would be a Wenquxing descendant, and would be very expensive in the future, and she, the mother who gave birth to Wenquxing, was even more remarkable. Self-proclaimed, showing off everywhere, and being instigated by others, I feel that my son wants to make the official bigger and bigger while he is young, but he needs to be married to a powerful family. Coincidentally, a matchmaker came to propose marriage. When Xia Jinshi heard that she was the daughter of Tongzhi, she was overjoyed. Regardless of the girl's background, she immediately agreed. Soon, under Xia Jinshi's arrangement, Xia Xiuping married Huang. Shi entered the door.

At this time, Pang Ruxue had just given birth to Xia Leqing. The delivery was not smooth, her body was seriously injured, and she couldn't recover after being bedridden for two months. The mother-in-law and husband married another bride without discussion. What a heavy blow Pang Ruxue was in it. It goes without saying that Pang Ruxue's body could no longer recover, and she stayed in bed for several years.

Thinking of the past, Xia Yiqing sighed secretly. Pang Ruxue never said that the Xia family was not good in front of their sisters, and she always taught them to respect their elders and respect their father Xia Xiuping. husband!Such a wonderful mother Xia Yiqing has nothing to do with her. When she is bored, she pries Liu's mother's mouth and coaxes her to tell the sisters about her father and mother in the form of ancient stories. Liu's mother is tortured by the sisters. I had no choice but to tell them all, but Mama Liu could only talk about it from the time when Xia Xiuping brought Pang Ruxue back to Huzhou, because Mama Liu was bought by Pang Ruxue on the streets of Huzhou Zhoucheng when Xia Xiuping brought Pang Ruxue back then. Things, she doesn't know.

However, according to Liu's mother, who worked as a girl and servant in a rich and wealthy family since she was a child, she speculated: Pang Ruxue was actually born as a lady!She is dignified and elegant, has a calm demeanor, can read and write, as well as the rules and upbringing that have formed habits, all of which, if she hadn't been trained strictly since she was a child, she would not be able to succeed!
Xia Yiqing and Xia Leqing had asked Pang Ruxue about her grandfather's house many times. Pang Ruxue looked sad and said that her grandfather's house was so far away that we couldn't get there!
As he said this, tears welled up in his eyes.

The two sisters couldn't bear to ask any more, Xia Yiqing secretly guessed: maybe her grandfather's family was ruined for some reason, Pang Ruxue escaped by herself, met Xia Xiuping, and let the cheap father take advantage of it, it's unknown!

Approaching the South Courtyard, one could smell the familiar fragrance of fresh flowers. Once Xia Leqing smelled the fragrance, she lost her temper and said, "Sister, I'll go and see my mother first!"

The voice was still there, but the person had already passed Xia Yiqing like a gust of wind, trotting along the low parapet covered with roses, her skirt fluttered, and quickly slipped into the courtyard gate.

Mother Liu couldn't stop herself, and said angrily, "This child is still so impatient!"

Xia Yiqing smiled slightly, didn't say anything, just closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the refreshing and pleasant fragrance of flowers. At this moment, Leqing can't be blamed for being impatient. People returning home are like swallows returning to their nests, who can stop them?The south courtyard is the site of Pang Ruxue's mother and daughter. The three of them and Liu's mother took good care of it, and decorated the south courtyard like a small garden. She has only been here for five years, and she has already developed feelings for this courtyard, not to mention Leqing's presence here. Lived in it for 12 years!

The Xia family's foundation is poor, and the house expanded with Pang Ruxue's dowry money has only a few courtyards in total. A few green bamboos are planted in every corner, and a few stones are piled up as rockery. There is no extra space to build a garden. Xia Yiqing and her sisters were invited by the proprietress of the embroidery village to be guests at her home four years ago. They saw a variety of flowers in full bloom in her home. The proprietress cut more than a dozen rose vines and gave them to them, and taught them how to plant and build a frame. After returning, the sisters planted the rose vines together, and transplanted them year after year for three years. Next, cut bamboo branches to build a flower stand, and now the whole south courtyard house is full of pink, red, white, and yellow roses. The climate in the south of the Yangtze River is humid, and the roses do not bloom except in late autumn and winter, and bloom freely in spring, summer and early autumn. , the flowers are as dense as stars, and the fragrance of the flowers is elegant. The quaint south courtyard has become an elegant and beautiful rose garden. In the past two years, the roses have climbed out of the courtyard, decorating the low courtyard wall beautifully. Xia Xiuping and his concubine The Huang family and the two concubine daughters went back to their hometown to worship their ancestors in the Qingming Festival, and they couldn't help admiring and envious when they passed by outside, but Huang's family was arrogant and arrogant, so he controlled Xia Xiuping himself and didn't allow him to enter the south courtyard, and the two daughters were not allowed to stay under the flower wall of the south courtyard. Every time the two daughters came back, they picked many flowers from outside, but the budding flowers were pinched and scattered all over the ground, making Xia Leqing so angry that she wanted to settle accounts with them, but Pang Ruxue controlled her, Xia Xiuping only went back to her hometown once or twice a year Once, the mother-in-law was restrained by her mother-in-law and was not allowed to leave the south courtyard, but she wanted her daughters to behave well, thinking that by doing so, they could win their father's love.

What a naive mother!
Xia Yiqing was standing under the flower wall thinking, sneering to herself, when suddenly she heard a noise from the yard, Xia Leqing shot out like a cannonball, dragged her inside with red eyes, panting and shouting: "Sister, come quickly! It's terrible, they want to occupy our yard!"

Xia Yiqing was taken aback: "What? Who is it?"

The two sisters entered the yard together, Xia Leqing pointed her hand, her voice was full of resentment, crying, "It's them! They are sent by grandma and second aunt!"

Even if Xia Yiqing had the patience and self-control to look into the yard, she couldn't help feeling angry: the littering in the yard belonged to her mother, Pang Ruxue, and their sisters—the cages were crooked and half-opened, Everything was poured out. The clothes that were worn on weekdays were hung on the hangers properly, and the cotton quilt covers were neatly folded and placed on the bed. At this moment, they were all rolled into balls, thrown directly from the steps, and scattered everywhere. The embroidery frame fell apart and broke its legs, and the half-embroidered wintersweet picture on it seemed to be a waste product, and a few birds landed on it, and they even sprinkled bird droppings when they stepped on it...

Xia Leqing stomped her feet and screamed, "Stop! You all stop!"

No one paid any attention to it, the five or six women on the porch threw all kinds of things down even faster.

Xia Yiqing stepped forward without making a sound, stretched out her hand to her chest and grabbed a woman who had just come down the steps, raised her hand and slapped her twice, before the woman recovered, she had already pulled away and let go , the woman couldn't stand upright and fell down, knocking her head on the stone steps, blood splashed on the spot immediately, and there was a gash on her forehead.

Xia Leqing saw that her sister moved her hand, so she also picked up a bamboo pole, and ran to stab and beat the women on the porch. The two women couldn't dodge and were knocked on the head, screaming, and the one who fell down the steps and was injured The woman lay on the ground and howled screamingly. Xia Yiqing stepped up to the highest step, stood in front of the porch and said crisply:
"Have you all seen it? Who dares to throw my things away? A rich daughter-in-law is a role model! This is still light. You are all slaves bought by my Xia family with money. I am the eldest girl of the Xia family, so I killed you." You guys are nothing more than a trivial matter!"
