Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 217
Chapter 216

Wang Zhengshi's words were abrupt, and the meaning of ridicule and humiliation was fully revealed. The sentence "a table of food in the Hou's house is worth several tables of banquets in other people's houses" was particularly harsh to Yiqing's ears. Saying such things in her face is not mocking her poor family, what else could it be?
There was a silence on the table, Mrs. Zheng looked at Wang Zhengshi dissatisfied, and said, "Second sister, what are you talking about? No one can hear it, and think how extravagant and arrogant our family is! The eldest sister is here She is a long-term resident of the Hou Mansion, and she knows that our family does not have such good meals every day. This table tonight was originally used to entertain distinguished guests! Aunts and cousins ​​are all guests! The second aunt does not Come here often, and the two young masters don't often enter the inner courtyard, so they set up this table of food. But how can this be worth a few tables of banquets? You haven't seen how good the banquet in Xiafu is today It can be said to be both rich and unique. The wife of the in-laws is wise and thoughtful, and she thought of a good way: to match the famous dishes of the capital with the famous dishes of the south of the Yangtze River. The dishes are exquisite, and the flavors are pure and delicious. The guests are full of praise! It’s true that she ate more, but Qing’er didn’t take a few serious bites——she had many friends who came to congratulate her little uncle’s [-]-day birthday, and she had to go and say hello! Now she said she had a bad appetite, I'm afraid she's exhausted!"

Mrs. Zheng glared at Mrs. Wang and Zheng, both angry and helpless: the daughter-in-law herself blamed the sister-in-law, but as a mother, she was not easy to agree with. save face.

Unexpectedly, Yiqing didn't think so. She was feeling tight in her chest, and then she was stymied by Wang Zhengshi for no reason, and she suddenly became angry: I'm already very unhappy, how dare you provoke me?Then don't blame me for being impolite, what face is shameful, first let me breathe a sigh of relief!

After waiting for her mother-in-law to finish speaking, Yiqing showed a gentle smile on her face, looked at Wang Wenyuan who had been silent all this time, and persuaded in a gentle tone:

"Brother Wenyuan, why are you so downcast? Isn't it just that you can't become a Jinshi? What's the big deal? Although you didn't make it to the imperial list this time, you are still a tribute student. Among scholars, this is a good result! If you If you have the courage, you can still wait for the next one! Come, eat more, your mother said, this table of food is worth several tables of banquets in other people’s homes! Don’t waste it! As the saying goes, people are iron, Rice is steel, and good food can make you strong. After eating these meals, you will be strong and strong, and you won’t lose energy to study because of two pretty girls! Eat more, don’t be discouraged, maybe next time You can pass the exam!"

Wang Wenyuan quickly raised his head to look at Yiqing, his originally pale face turned red, and he just said, "Thank you cousin for your encouragement!"

There was no sound on the table, Mrs. Zheng looked at Yiqing strangely, not quite understanding what she meant by that.

Wang Zhengshi was stunned for a while, then slammed the table: "Xia Yiqing, what do you mean by that? Ah?"

Wang Wenhui sighed secretly, she knew her mother's temperament well, knew that she couldn't stop her at this moment, so she just sat still with her eyes downcast.

Brother Yan was not at home, but sent many guards to guard the Hou Mansion overtly and secretly, and handed over everything in the Hou Mansion to Yiqing. All the movements in the Rongping Hou Mansion are now under Yiqing's control. What happened, how could Yiqing not know?If Brother Wen Yuan has been studying in a foreign academy, he should actually have a good chance of winning, but his mother came and asked him to go back to Changxi Courtyard in three or two days, asking questions and giving him delicious food, and obeying his aunt's instigation , warmed Wen Yuan’s bed with two beautiful maidservants, and accompanied him to study at night, but once Wen Yuan indulged in the pleasure of the boudoir, he would no longer have the mind to study. Wen Hui tried to persuade him several times to no avail. hoped.

Aunt and mother are too self-righteous, too stupid, let them be so, until one day they bump their heads against the south wall, and it is not too late to look back.

Mrs. Wang Zheng patted the table, startled Mrs. Zheng, and immediately became angry: "Second girl, what are you doing? It's too outrageous!"

Wang Zhengshi just stared at Yiqing resentfully, as if she had never heard of it.

Yiqing smiled and said: "What I mean, the second aunt understands very well! Don't you? Also, I want to tell Brother Wenyuan, tell everyone: that genius of 'Three Yuan Ji Di', Mr. Chen Boyuan, he We are from Huzhou! I am very honored, because I have met this champion! Just today, he came to my natal family to congratulate him, and several Jinshi and Jishi came with him. These young talents, the pillars of the country, All of them are proud and proud! They are all nephews of my natal father! So, I am very happy! Zhuangyuan Lang is actually from my hometown, which shows how outstanding our Huzhou is!"

How could Wang Wenyuan, who failed in the ranking, stand up to Yiqing's excitement?His face turned red and pale, and he wobbled and almost couldn't sit still. Wang Zhengshi was so angry that his forehead turned black. He pointed at Yiqing and said, "You have such a vicious heart! Do you want to piss off our mother and son?"

Yiqing shook her head: "How could it be? I'm just telling you one happy thing! It's just like my second aunt told me that a table of meals in Zheng's family is worth several tables of banquets! It's the same reason!"

Wang Zheng was furious, and cried to Mrs. Zheng: "Mother! Look, this is the good wife you married Yan'er! Can you bear to humiliate us as aunts like this?"

Seeing Wang Zhengshi going crazy, Yiqing let out a bad breath, and the stuffy feeling in her chest was really relieved a lot.

She looked at the old lady with innocent eyes, and said: "Grandma, I really didn't want to humiliate anyone! What I said is all the truth, and my mother also saw it today. Is it mother?"

Mrs. Zheng nodded hurriedly: "Yes, I saw it! Many wives and wives are scrambling to see these young talents who have won the imperial list. Those sons must come from good families. They are all good-looking talents, humble and polite... "

Mrs. Zheng said while going to see Mrs. Wang and Zheng, and she also blamed her for provoking Yiqing for being troublesome. Originally, when she met the number one scholar in Xia's mansion, the two of them agreed in the carriage: "I didn't say a word when I got home." I mentioned it so as not to irritate Wang Wenyuan and my second aunt.She has planned for her like this, but she doesn't appreciate it at all!
Seeing that Mrs. Zheng was leaning towards Yiqing, Wang Zheng became even angrier. In addition, Fang Zheng said a few words from the sidelines. Wang Zheng's temper developed since childhood came up, and he blurted out and interrupted Mrs. Zheng's words:
"Shut up! I'm talking to my mother, and you don't need to intervene!"

Everyone was taken aback, except for Fang Zheng, who had a faint smile of success on his face.

How could she not understand her sister?She has been loved the most since she was a child, and she is fine when she is calm, but once she plays tricks, no one can control her, even her mother is afraid of her!At this time, let her make trouble in the Hou Mansion for a while, it is best to make the old mother dizzy, and then she will remember again, which daughter is the best and the most docile and obedient!
Mrs. Zheng was really pissed off by Wang Zheng this time. She pointed at Wang Zheng with trembling fingers and said, "Are you in a daze? My elder sister-in-law is like a mother, how can you talk to your natal sister-in-law like this? Ah? Do you know that you are unvirtuous and unfilial?"

Wang Wenhui hurried to Wang Zhengshi's side, took her arm, and whispered in her ear: "Mother, don't listen to your auntie, wake up quickly! If grandma makes you angry, there will be no one else." I love you! Auntie, you dare to offend me, do you still want the Hou Mansion to help your brother in the future?"

Wang Zhengshi finally listened to it, calmed down, hurriedly left the table and knelt down in front of Mrs. Zheng, crying: "Mother! Wen Yuan failed to be on the list of emperors, and he failed his father's high expectations. My daughter feels so bitter! But Then why is Xia Yiqing relentless and willing to expose my wounds..."

　Here's the modified one, roughly the same.
