Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 25
In the middle of the night in the Rongping Marquis Mansion, there are also sleepless people. Mrs. Zheng is angry, sitting on the Luohan bed with a stern face, and Zheng Jingyan is standing beside her, watching her eldest aunt Fang Zheng carefully drape a middle coat over her grandmother's shoulders On the bed, being torn off by his grandmother and thrown away, he sighed inaudibly, with a hint of helplessness and worry on his elegant and handsome face.

Sure enough, some things are easy to form habits once they are started. The old lady found that this trick worked, and she greeted her again. She didn't eat dinner, and refused to add clothes to keep out the cold.

Mrs. Fang Zheng looked at Zheng Jingyan and said, "Yan'er, is there really such an urgent matter? You said it well. I want to accompany my grandmother to the Jin Mansion to celebrate her birthday, but I won't be going for the time being. Let alone your grandmother, the old lady Jin will also If you are not happy!"

Mrs. Zheng waved her hand and said: "Don't say any more, it's useless to influence my grandmother, and a word is useless! It's only for Mrs. Jin, she pities my old lady to live to this age and only have one Grandson, I didn't even see a great-grandson, so she took advantage of her birthday and went all out to invite girls to my house to play, so that we could teach our grandparents to choose... Well, I really don't have the face to give it to her. If she adds this trouble, she will say that I am sick tomorrow, and I will not go!"

Mrs. Fang Zheng hurriedly said: "How can this be done? Your decades-old sister, Mrs. Jin, is celebrating her [-]th birthday, but you are refusing to get rid of your illness. This will make her feel cold!"

Mrs. Zheng wiped her tears and said: "Then what will I do? People like me, surrounded by children and grandchildren, are the icing on the cake. I am the only one who is shameless..."

Zheng Jingyan took a step forward and knelt down slowly: "Grandmother, it's not because my grandson broke his promise, it's really...there are urgent things to do!"

"What's the matter with you? Left and right are just fooling me!"

"Grandmother, forgive me! Grandson really needs to leave the capital for a few days. I really can't go to pay respects to Mrs. Jin's birthday tomorrow. As for choosing a girl... grandson said that if grandma is satisfied, grandson is satisfied! Just book the day in the monastery." The girl who was supposed to meet will also become!"

Mrs. Fang Zheng hurriedly said: "I've said it all: that day the monastery despised her girl, we have already prepared a heavy ceremony to apologize, so there is no need to mention it! There are many good girls, and tomorrow the Golden Mansion will be full of guests. Noble ladies and ladies in the capital, as long as you have your fancy, we will come to propose marriage!"

Zheng Jingyan just felt extremely headache, can this eldest aunt not always make trouble for him?He said that he will not be free tomorrow and he needs to go out of the city. As for what to do, it is related to the important affairs of the family and the country, so there is no need to tell them!

Mrs. Zheng looked at her grandson kneeling on the ground, and snorted, "It's not that I haven't seen your tricks before! Change your mind when you're about to come, think I don't know what you're thinking, right? Okay, okay, I agree." You: Just let the girl from the Wang family come into our house! But I want you to pick out the girl you like tomorrow, obediently obey your grandmother's arrangement to start a family, and when your granddaughter-in-law is pregnant, I will take care of it for you immediately! "

Zheng Jingyan was stunned, looked up at Mrs. Zheng and asked, "What does grandma mean by this? If my grandson gets married, how can sister Yaozhen be able to... Do you want sister Yaozhen to be a concubine? That's not possible!"

Fang Zheng pressed the corners of his lips with a handkerchief, and said with a sneer, "What's wrong? You are the only grandson of my Zheng family. You need to continue the incense and spread the branches and leaves. You can't just have a wife in the future? That Miss Wang has kept her filial piety for many years, and she is not too young. After she takes off her clothes, she will be twenty years old? If you want to talk about relatives and refuse to be a concubine, you can only continue to fill the house and marry a 50-[-]-year-old If you are an old man, it is much better for her to stay by your side! My aunt went to ask her yesterday, and she is willing!"

Zheng Jingyan held back for a while, and said coldly to Fang Zheng: "Auntie, you... have too many things to do!"

Mrs. Fang Zheng didn't take it seriously, Mrs. Zheng said: "This is what I mean. I asked your eldest aunt to visit Miss Wang! Grandma knows that you sympathize with Miss Wang. It is said that the girl often walked around our house when she was young. , you love her like your own sister, and now that your parents are gone, you should have taken care of her, but her fate is not compatible with yours. Grandma asked someone to do a careful calculation, and she is not suitable to be your first wife! If you are reluctant, you can give her the status of a concubine. If she can give birth to a son and a half, she will have something to rely on in the future! It will take another six months for Miss Wang to become a filial piety. Give her some time to prepare the wedding dress, at the latest We won't be able to move in until next autumn, during which time we will marry a new wife... grandson, what do you think?"

Zheng Jingyan smiled with some difficulty. He often strategizes and is used to scheming against others, but the marriage matters that are related to his life's happiness are firmly controlled by his grandmother. The calculations are so precise and meticulous. If he refuses to obey, he can still Is there another option?
After appeasing his grandmother, Zheng Jingyan returned to Hanjin Courtyard, summoned a guard and told him to go down immediately to make arrangements. Tomorrow will follow the plan. The others can go out of the city first, but he will have to delay for half a day, and then he will find a way to catch up. front man.

It is impossible to be sloppy in seeking important matters for the fourth prince, but he really can't refuse tomorrow's birthday banquet. He can only adjust his time and try not to delay the schedule. As for sister Yaozhen... I will explain it later!

The next day, Yiqing followed her eldest cousin Fang Yuxian to Changping Houjin Mansion. Many guests had already arrived. Naturally, the painting hall in the backyard was full of female guests sitting, drinking tea and eating fruits, chatting and laughing, very lively and happy.

Changping Houjin's Mansion is obviously a noble family with a deep heritage. The mansion covers a wide area and the courtyard is spacious and spacious. The scenery is charming. In the early winter season, many flowers are still in full bloom in the garden, and there are many exotic flowers and plants in sight. Many ladies and ladies stroll around during the period, chatting and laughing while watching the beautiful scenery in front of them.

Fang Yuxian led Yiqing to the back garden first, and found a few acquaintances to talk to before returning to the painting hall to salute Mrs. Jin's birthday. I couldn't even squeeze in the hall, so I had to wait until there were fewer people before turning back.

Still had to wait patiently in the queue, because some seniors could jump in the queue, and it took them a long time to kowtow. In the hall, everyone was dressed in rich and noble clothes, and looked at the juniors who kowtowed below with vigor. Although she kept cheering herself up in her heart, she couldn't help but feel a little flustered. She followed Fang Yuxian and a few young women and knelt down straight and kowtowed , I just want to get the red envelope and leave as soon as possible.

Smiling and saying a few auspicious words such as Shoubi Nanshan, the old birthday star stood up and happily handed over the red envelope.

Fang Yuxian and others took the red envelope and stepped aside, Yiqing stepped forward to take it, but the old lady Jin smiled and Mimi looked at her, but she didn't give the red envelope to her, but pulled her to her side, Caressing her hand, she smiled and said, "Oh, look at this little girl, she is so watery, skinny and tender, just like a painting! Whose girl are you from? What's your name? Why don't you see her on weekdays?" You come to my house to play?"

Yiqing blushed a lot, and slandered: "Old birthday star, you don't bring such a joker. You stretched out your hand but didn't give you a red envelope. It's embarrassing, okay?"
Seeing that Yiqing was embarrassed, Fang Yuxian hurriedly stepped forward to hug her shoulders, and said with a smile: "Cousin, don't panic, just answer the truth! The old birthday star is compassionate, and he pities the young ones the most, and he likes little girls like you the most on weekdays." , like us daughters-in-law, if you want her to ask, she doesn't like to answer!"

Everyone in the room laughed, and the old lady Jin laughed so hard that tears came out. She pointed at her and said, "This monkey is getting more and more naughty. Grab more candy seeds and gag her!"

Such a fuss diverted a lot of attention, and Yiqing also felt a lot more relaxed.

And the old lady Jin seemed to forget that she had asked Yiqing just now, put the red envelope into her palm, and stuffed it into her with an embroidered purse from the little girl's hand, patted her hand and said: "This is from the east mountain." The nuts here are crispy and fragrant, take them and eat slowly... Go and play by yourself, there are too many people today, so I won’t take you to play, come to see me another day, you know?"

Yiqing nodded, said thank you to the old lady Shouxing, made a blessing and then retreated.

Out of the hall, several eyes immediately shot over, and I realized that those eyes were not only unfavorable but also disgusting, and I was immediately baffled.

Fang Yuxian didn't mention to Yiqing the other things brought about by the wedding banquet in the wealthy circle in central Beijing, and Yiqing naturally didn't know: she was unintentionally selected as a candidate today!Among the many old ladies sitting next to the old birthday star in the painting hall, there is the old lady Zheng who is anxious to choose a grandson's wife for her grandson.

Mrs. Zheng's grandson is unmarried, and Mrs. Jin also has two grandsons who have reached the age of marriage. They kindly invite many girls to come and play at home. This is to spread a message to everyone. Of course, not every girl wants to marry into Xun. You are a wealthy family, but it is difficult to reach the girl's family. Therefore, there are indeed a lot of girls who came today, and most of them came with a purpose.

Under such circumstances, Yiqing was taken special care of by Mrs. Jin, which naturally aroused the interest of others.

People came and went in and out of the painting hall, but no one paid attention to the large silk screen with shadowless dense embroidered flowers and birds on the left. This kind of shadowless densely embroidered screen was rewarded by the palace. You can't see through the back when you see the color of the suit, but the people behind can see the people in the front more clearly!
The girls who entered the painting hall did not expect that behind the shadowless embroidered screen, there was a small side hall separated, and three young men came in for a while, standing behind the screen and silently looking at the people in the painting hall. Girls, go out again soon.

In fact, they don't like to look at each other secretly like this, but the elder's order is hard to break, so they can only go through the motions and put on a show.Who made them rebellious, unwilling to get engaged early, and too picky and unwilling to marry someone they had never met before? The elders came to this trick just to shut their mouths!
