Chapter 258 Chaos
August [-]th is called the Mid-Autumn Festival. Since ancient times, it has the meaning of reunion and auspicious celebration. From the emperor to the subjects of the Dahua Dynasty, everyone attached great importance to this festival. It is inferior to the Lantern Festival after the Spring Festival.

After such a reunion and festive season, it is unknown how other people feel, but the people in the Rongping Marquis Mansion feel chaotic, and the Marquis Zheng Jingyan is even more annoyed. Looking at the elderly grandmother with gray hair and a full face. With a complex expression full of shock and worry, he wanted to violate his filial piety for the first time, allowing himself to vent all his bad emotions.

Yiqing persuaded him, leaned on his chest and whispered: "When grandma was young, you were always so restrained. Now that grandma is old, you want to make trouble instead. What is this? Don't say that grandma can't bear it." Stay, even you yourself will regret it!"

Zheng Jingyan hugged Yiqing tightly, stroking the fetus in her belly that kicked or punched from time to time, a little sad, and said in a sullen tone: "Bao'er still refuses to calm down...I regret it now, if I hadn't Allow them to live in the Hou's mansion, and your mother and son will be spared this fright tonight!"

Yiqing smiled: "We're fine, the place where the fire started is so far away, I don't feel scared... The baby is always moving around at this time."

"I checked the pulse, it's okay, but he was somewhat frightened by you walking around like this!"

Zheng Jingyan looked at the crying crowd around the old lady, his eyes were cold: "Don't do this in the future, let them mess around, just take care of yourself, sit properly, and don't pay attention to other things!"

Yiqing was kind and gentle, and said softly, "I see."

In fact, when the incident happened, she didn't go anywhere, she just walked around the old lady and the wife, and she didn't know if the thing in her stomach tonight was because she didn't eat the big crabs that were steamed with red, bright cream, fat and thick meat. She was also greedy and unhappy, and she had been moving non-stop for several hours. Yiqing felt that his movements were very regular, not irritable, so she was not very flustered, and Zheng Jingyan heard the news from the palace. After rushing back to stay with her, she became more stable.

She knew that Zheng Jingyan was in a very bad mood at this time. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, when thousands of families were reunited, and the new emperor of the palace was on a high platform to entertain all the officials to enjoy the bright moon and jade splendor, and to point out the prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, the Rongping Marquis Mansion actually had a big commotion. Thick smoke billowed up from the fire, which frightened the family members, and outsiders didn't know how to talk about him, Rong Pinghou. Anyone who encountered such a thing would be annoyed.

The incident was caused by Wang Wenyuan, but it was Fang Baozhang and Feng Yuejiao who caused the trouble. In the end, Fang Baochan and Wang Wenhui scolded each other and fought together, making the whole house restless. ... Yiqing has convinced these cousins, so she can't perform some positive and interesting shows for the old people, and she will come up with bad ideas.

Lanterns are hung during the Mid-Autumn Festival. Because the national mourning is still in progress, the lanterns made and sold on the street cannot be colored. They are all ink and carbon pictures, but they have a special artistic conception. During the period, brothels were not allowed to be noisy, and sex with prostitutes was not allowed for fun. It was very boring for a few people to just drink vegetarian wine like that. I bought a few plain lanterns and came back, wanting to give them to my younger sister and my maids to enjoy, but when I returned to Changxi Courtyard, I found that my younger sister had gone to An He Tang, while Feng Yuejiao was standing alone in the yard staring at the moon in a daze , Wang Wenyuan gave Feng Yuejiao a lantern, and asked the maids to put out the snacks they bought, and took out the wine jar, and asked someone to call his cousin Baozhang.

The two cousins, leading a few maids, invited Yuejiao to sit down together, drinking wine and admiring the moon, talking and laughing. The little girl who sang the song sang a few words to add to the fun, and then divided the people into two factions, and ordered them to drink with fists. The young people were free from restraint, and they drank freely. Feng Yuejiao's two girls were the first to get drunk, and Wang Wenyuan Fang Baozhang and Feng Yuejiao looked at each other speechlessly, Fang Baozhang wanted to go back, Feng Yuejiao picked up the lantern Wang Wenyuan gave him and sent him off. It was sent into Feng Yuejiao's room, it is unknown who started it first, but the two of them undressed and entered the drapery while drinking, and the lantern that was randomly hung under the window did not know when to burn. Get up, the veil hanging by the window, the autumn is crisp, the weather is dry, the fire is unstoppable, the flames rise up instantly, fortunately, the front yard manager is extra careful, let people climb on a high place to observe the situation in the back yard As soon as they saw something was wrong, they immediately led people to rush in to put out the fire. Even so, half of the entire Changxi Courtyard was burned down!
Fortunately, Fang Baozhang and Feng Yuejiao were not confused. They had just tasted the sweetness, and they were dying when they suddenly found a big fire by the window. They woke up in fright and pulled each other to escape. It was ugly to see the nakedness of the two people. They ran back to Changle Courtyard carelessly, but they didn't care about the lives of Wang Wenyuan and others!
Fortunately, Wang Wenyuan lived in the East Wing, while Feng Yuejiao and Wang Wenhui lived in the West Wing. The fire was extinguished when it reached the main house, but did not reach the East Wing.

Feng Yuejiao's room was completely burnt down, and Wang Wenhui's also left nothing behind, crying and making noises, but Fang Zhengshi and Fang Baochan blamed Wang Wenyuan for putting Feng Yuejiao and Fang Baozhang together, there must be ulterior motives!
Of course Wang Wenyuan refused to accept it, and he wanted to blame Fang Baozhang for not saving him!
Arguing and arguing, Fang Baochan gave his cousin Wang Wenhui a slap, how could Wang Wenhui bear it?Fight with Fang Baochan directly...

After the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mrs. Zheng fell ill. The poor old man escaped and hid in a hole in the ground without being frightened and sick, but a fire shocked her so much that she was bedridden.

Zheng Jingyan naturally tried his best to comfort his grandmother, offered medicine soup to persuade her to eat, and tried her best to spend more time with her before her sick bed, talking to her to reassure her, but the old lady Zheng still missed her grandchildren, and told her grandson: "No matter what, they are still yours. Dear cousins, if you didn’t cause any serious trouble this time, please forgive them! You can arrange them well and let your aunt rest assured that they will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, that’s all!”

These words sounded a bit like last words, but Zheng Jingyan agreed solemnly, and came out to whisper to Yiqing: "The old lady was frightened, and she wanted me to resettle the cousins. If the fire really destroyed The Hou Mansion is on fire, even if only half of it is burned, the grandmother can't feel at ease! She loves the two aunts, and tries her best to protect Wenyuan and Baozhang, but these two boys are not good... Sigh, you say, we two will not be in the future Do you have such a grandson?"

Yiqing rolled her eyes at him: "I tell you, no! The daughters trained by my wife are definitely a hundred times stronger than Fang Zheng and Wang Zheng! Let alone the grandson of my grandmother!"

Zheng Jingyan was both angry and funny, and raised his hand to pinch her face: "You are so bold! Such an arrogant tone! Do you dare to say this in front of the old lady?"

It is not difficult to separate the aunt and cousins. Zheng Jingyan has real estate on hand, and they are all houses in excellent locations. If Zheng Jingyan is famous on the list, if he comes forward again, he can fill a good official position, which is better than those serious Jinshi, but it will have to wait until next spring, and Fang Baozhang is still a student. Right now, he has to study hard and ask for fame in three years.

In the past, because of his grandmother's face, even if Zheng Jingyan was dissatisfied with his aunts and cousins, he never showed it. Now that even his grandmother has figured out that he wants to move his aunt out, Zheng Jingyan doesn't waste any more words, and is straightforward. Du Zhong went to get everything done first, and then came to talk to Fang Zheng after his grandmother's condition eased.

For some other trivial matters, Fang Zheng asked her, and Zheng Jingyan also helped her. For example, Fang Baochan finally couldn't stand Gong Zijie, and listened to her mother's advice, and wanted to make peace with Gong Zijie. Two silver coins were given to him as a subsidy, because he wanted to raise his son, and he would not let Fang Baochan take away his son!
Fang Zheng didn't have that much money, so he could only go to the old lady and cry. Zheng Jingyan could hear him clearly, so he asked his eldest aunt not to worry, and he would take care of it.

That is to hand it over to Gan Song and the others, and Fang Baochan took the Heli book back within a day. Fang Baochan didn't thank her, and took the Heli book in front of everyone, but cried until her heart broke. He didn't hand her the Heli book with his own hands, which made it seem like Zheng Jingyan broke up her good marriage.

As for the pair of Fang Baozhang and Feng Yuejiao, Yiqing guessed that it should be Feng Yuejiao's handwriting.

Zheng Jingyan refused to take a concubine on the grounds of physical misbehavior, and advised the old lady to send Feng Yuejiao back to her hometown as soon as possible, so as not to delay her life. Minding her own business, she asked Fang Zheng to persuade Feng Yuejiao, who knew that Fang Zheng was a person who was afraid of chaos in the world, and coaxed Feng Yuejiao to stay and wait for the opportunity, so Feng Yuejiao just didn't want to go back to her hometown in Xihua County, which is actually not her. He didn't know if he would be sold by his father and stepmother when he went back, so he listened to Fang Zheng's advice, directly bumped his head and pretended to be injured, and temporarily stayed in the Hou's mansion to "rehabilitate his wounds".

But this is not a long-term solution. Feng Yuejiao knew that the old lady had completely given up on her, so she had no choice but to find a way out on her own. She was locked up in the deep house every day, and she couldn't find anyone else. The three girls in the house are younger and more beautiful than her, so it is obviously impossible to hook up with Wang Wenyuan, so it can only be the 17-year-old Fang Baozhang!

This time the old lady learned to be smart, and very cautiously asked Madam Zheng to send her mother-in-law to examine Feng Yuejiao to confirm that she had lost her innocence.

It's ridiculous that Fang Zheng's agencies have exhausted all their tricks, and in the end his own son is the last one!
