Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 207 Retirement

Princess Qin deliberately detoured in her car and sent Yiqing back to the gate of Rongping Hou Mansion. Yiqing respectfully asked Princess Qin to get out of the car and sit in the mansion for a cup of hot tea. Princess Qin declined with a smile, saying that there are many things going on in the palace. Waiting for the disposal, I will visit the old matriarch and aunt Mrs. Zheng another day.

Yiqing saluted and left, and when she was about to turn around and get out of the car, she heard Princess Qin say softly: "Ayan, he is fine! He told you to take care of yourself and wait for him to come back!"

Yiqing was stunned for a moment before remembering to answer: "Thank you, Princess!"

I can't say much about the rest, so I hurriedly got off the princess car.

Princess Qin looked at Yiqing's back and sighed: "No way, at this critical moment, the whereabouts of King Qin must not be revealed at all!"It's not that the king of Qin on the southern tour didn't have letters and news coming back. Those officials and counselors in the palace were so tightly guarded that even the princess couldn't easily read the letters, just relying on them to dictate a few words of peace. Zheng Jingyan may have expected this, knowing that he Even if they wrote a letter, it was impossible for these people to pass it on to Yiqing, so they appended two sentences at the end of King Qin's letter, and Princess Qin would convey it on her behalf.

Yiqing stood in front of the gate of the Hou's Mansion and watched Princess Qin drive away, and stayed alone for a while. Hua Yu, Du Zhong and others stood silently by the side, and no one urged her until Mrs. Zheng came out and called After giving her a sound, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law walked into the gate of the mansion with each other and went back to the inner courtyard.

It turned out that it was Mrs. Zheng and Mrs. Zheng who heard that Princess Qin was driving to the door, and thought that Princess Qin would enter the mansion, so Mrs. Zheng rushed out to meet her, but she just sent Yiqing back to the mansion and left again.

Mrs. Zheng said: "I haven't seen Zhen'er for a long time. She is a capable person who manages Prince Qin's mansion in an orderly manner. Just look at her expression, okay?"

Yiqing smiled and said: "Princess Qin looks very good, and her body is also good. She said that today she has no leisure, and she will come to visit grandma and mother some other day!"

Mrs. Zheng said: "I don't expect her to come to see us, as long as she lives a happy life, don't be tired! Alas! The concubine can't enjoy the happiness like the concubine in the palace. Such a big palace is all up to her." It's hard work for one person to manage!"

"No, Princess Qin is really working hard!"

Yiqing responded, and looked back at Huayu who separated the maidservants and wives behind her, and was four or five steps away from the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, so she casually asked, "Mother, I'm not at home today. How is the old lady? Is there anything to be happy about?"

After hearing her words, Mrs. Zheng sighed, and a bit of tiredness and boredom appeared on Xianwan's peaceful face, and she said: "Your grandmother and I don't ask for any happy things every day, we only want peace and tranquility. It’s good to live, but... Alas! Fortunately, you are not at home today, otherwise I am afraid that you will be troubled! When you arrive at Anhetang in a while, you can just tell grandma about the lively things at the banquet and let her Take it easy, don't mention your aunt or the others, and don't ask about Wenhui, do you understand?"

Yiqing was taken aback for a moment, and asked softly, more cautiously: "What's the matter?"

Madam Zheng sighed again, and told Yiqing what happened in the Hou's Mansion after Yiqing went to Zhao Wang's Mansion in the morning:

Yiqing smiled inwardly, she knew it would be like this when she met Wenhui in the hallway of Anhe Hall last night, and now she just listened to it again.

It's about her lifelong happiness. Wang Wenhui can't take it lightly, let alone procrastinate. Last night, she took some things from Yiqing that can be used as physical evidence, and wanted to make a fuss on the spot. Yiqing asked her to take care of herself, although I don't expect to be able to get along well with my aunt, but it's better to live in peace than to cross-eyed every day, which is not good for anyone.

At least Wang Wenhui held back, and at dawn this morning, she dragged her mother to Mrs. Zheng and cried, scolding Mrs. Fang Zheng, arguing that she must withdraw from the Peng family.

After hearing Wenhui's story, Wang Zhengshi became angry when she learned that her sister had collected such a large amount of benefits for her own benefit and helped the Peng family keep Wenhui in the dark. Even my niece wants to sell it to make money!At first, Fang Zheng argued that what she did was all for Wen Hui's benefit, and Wen Hui would not buy her account, so she refuted it without saying a word. Later, Fang Zheng couldn't explain it, and was furiously scolded by Wang Zheng, and also patted the table. Come on, when the two aunts deal with Yiqing together, they are an offensive and defensive alliance. Due to different interests, they will become opposites.Wang Wenhui was in charge of crying, crying louder and louder, almost drowning out the scolding voices of the two aunts and wives, making the Anhe Hall into a chaotic mess.It was useless for the old lady to slap the table and yell. Finally, the servants came forward and pulled the two women apart, trying to gag them with handkerchiefs, so they stopped.

Mrs. Zheng sighed: "It's a good thing you didn't see that scene. It's really scary, and it's really outrageous! This is the Hou's mansion, but they treat it like their own home and make such a fuss, even the old lady is furious!"

Yiqing held Mrs. Zheng's hand tightly, and said with a smile: "If the eldest aunt and the second aunt continue to mess around, the old lady will be over when she gets angry, and she won't be really angry. After all, she is her own daughter, the old lady It's my mother, don't worry about it, it's not our turn to worry about it, let's just watch quietly!"

Mrs. Zheng nodded: "It has to be like this!"

Mrs. Zheng drove the eldest aunt and second aunt back to their own yard to stay. An He Tang seemed much quieter and more peaceful. Of course, this is just the feeling of Yiqing and Mrs. Zheng. Perhaps in the eyes of Mrs. Zheng, Maybe it feels very desolate and cold, and I don't know.

After all, there is a constant separation of family ties in the world. No matter how noisy the two aunts are, they are also the old lady's own flesh and blood. They have loved and cared since childhood. As a mother, you will never dislike your children, even if they have done disgusting things , even heinous, if they have the ability to cover up for them, they probably want to do that!

Therefore, when Yiqing saw the old lady's slanted lips, the big bags under her eyes and the lonely eyes, she couldn't help but feel soft-hearted. What's wrong with a mother who loves her children?The only complaint is that the children are not filial and virtuous, which makes the old man sad!
Yiqing saluted Mrs. Zheng, and the old lady asked Princess Qin, since she was at the door, why didn't she come in for a meeting?Yiqing repeated what she had said to Mrs. Zheng, and the old lady Zheng nodded frequently, and said with a smile: "Are you tired after spending a day at Zhao Wang's Mansion? No matter how good things are outside, you can't eat and drink safely at home! Sit down for a while, drink a cup of tea, and let them serve the meal!"

Yiqing thanked her for sitting down and drank a cup of tea. Seeing Feng Yuejiao standing behind the old lady and kneading her shoulders, frowning as if making the old lady very uncomfortable, she got up and walked over, saying He said "I'll come", and directly pushed Feng Yuejiao away, put his hands on the old lady's shoulders and pressed gently, and heard the old lady breathe a long sigh of relief from her nose, closed her eyes, and the expression on her face eased a lot.Yiqing softly described to the old lady the beautiful scenery of the garden of King Zhao's Mansion, as well as the clothes of the princess, ladies and noble ladies today, and also said that the empress came with the seventh prince. Huayan is also responsible for the important task of choosing concubines for the Seventh Prince!

Mrs. Zheng was very happy to hear it, occasionally interjected to ask a few words, and laughed a few times. Feng Yuejiao who was next to her was also delighted, and joined in to talk. Yiqing also let her go, as if there was no quarrel with her. All the questions were answered correctly, and by the time the maidservants set up the dinner, the old lady was in a much better mood, and her face was not broken anymore. She ate by herself, and held a hostage for Mrs. Zheng, Yiqing, and Feng Yuejiao respectively. vegetable.

After dinner, they sat drinking tea and gossiping, still talking about the Seventh Prince's choice of concubine, Feng Yuejiao asked the Seventh Prince what kind of girl did he like?What the old lady is concerned about is whether the Seventh Prince has chosen someone?This Yiqing also doesn't know, it was decided by the empress and concubines in private, it is impossible for outsiders to know easily, if you want to know which girl is selected, you have to wait until the day when the empress's decree is issued.

Does this old lady not understand?But thought that Yiqing and Qin Wangfei came back in the same carriage, maybe Qin Wangfei could not keep her mouth shut for a while and told her?Therefore, everyone has curiosity, not only young people, but the curiosity of old people is also very strong sometimes.

Yiqing neither let them down nor let them fulfill their wishes, she left them a suspense on the grounds that Princess Qin is not allowed to talk nonsense, and then she described the appearance and body of the Seventh Prince very carefully, and said that the Seventh Prince How seriously they look at the girls, and which girls the queens and concubines have taken special care of, these can also attract the interest of the old lady and Feng Yuejiao, and it is interesting to hear.

At the end, Yiqing said with a smile: "It's a pity that cousin Wenhui is not here tonight, otherwise I would be happy to hear the excitement!"

Madam Zheng saw that Yiqing brought up Wenhui out of the blue, and thought she had forgotten what she had told her before, so she hurriedly gave Yiqing a wink, but Yiqing pretended not to see, but the old lady saw it, sighed, and said to Madam Zheng:
"Forget it! Qing'er is the daughter-in-law, can you hide this from her? Tell her!"

Mrs. Zheng had no choice but to briefly explain to Yiqing the reason why her aunt and Wenhui were not in Anhetang tonight.

After listening, Yiqing said: "No wonder, I heard that cousin Wenhui has been arguing for divorce a few days ago. If this is true, the Peng family is a bully! Before marrying a wife, take a concubine first, falsely claiming to be a concubine. She is still pregnant! When Wen Hui gets married, she will be the mother of the eldest son first, and she will not talk about her grievances and sufferings after eating Huang Lian. Let the outsiders know about it, and Rong Ping will definitely laugh at her. The Hou Mansion has no prestige, and my granddaughter has been bullied like this, yet she bears it without saying a word! If Master Hou knew about this at home, I think he would not be able to bear it! After all, Wen Hui is going to marry from our Hou Mansion. Go out, there will be girls in the Hou Mansion in the future, and if this happens when you grow up, you will have to follow precedents to reason, then you really can't tell!"
