Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 27 The Foundation
Yu Peizhu's face was as red as a boiled shrimp, and she protested: "Jian Zhenniang is my cousin's daughter, and I am her little aunt, how can I not discipline her?"

Hearing Yu Peizhu call her name, Jian Zhenniang was a little embarrassed, and said softly but very clearly to Yu Peizhu: "I have raised my mother, and I listen to what my mother teaches. You are younger than me, but you shouldn't be like this. !"

Yu Peizhu glared at her angrily: "What do you mean? No matter how young I am, I am your aunt. I am doing it for your own good, but you are helping outsiders!"

Xia Yiqing said: "You are so lucky to be an aunt at such a young age! Fortunately, you are not my aunt, otherwise I would have no place to cry!"

A girl giggled, and Yu Peizhu spat on the ground: "You deserve it too! You stupid girl from the countryside, what are you pretending to be here?"

Yiqing said: "I'm sorry, I don't care about you! I'm from the countryside, so I don't need to pretend, I'm just better than you!"

Yu Peizhu was about to go mad with anger: "No shame! Your father is only a seventh-rank county magistrate. I'm afraid he won't be able to be a Beijing official for the rest of his life. You will only live in the countryside forever. What's so arrogant? How can you be more arrogant than me?" stronger?"

Yiqing was surprised: "Do you know that my father is a seventh-rank county magistrate? Who told you?"

Yu Peizhu sneered triumphantly: "If you want people to not know, unless... what's so difficult about it?"

"So what's so embarrassing about it? Why am I 'wanting others not to know'?"

Yu Peizhu narrowed her eyes and said contemptuously: "Because you want to climb high! You have the cheek to recognize Grandma Gu as your cousin, and just now you pretended to be a lady in front of the birthday old lady. Do you think that's enough? From now on, you can marry into a high family. Enjoy the wealth? Hmph! It's not that easy, you have no roots, who will want you? How long can Grandma Gu take you in? Sooner or later, pack your bags and go back to the countryside!"

Touched by the expression on Yu Peizhu's face, Yiqing thought of the sinister Mrs. Yu in Pang's mansion. She thought that Mrs. Yu might have looked at Pang Ruxue with this expression back then, calculating step by step, and finally swept Pang Ruxue out, pulled out the thorn in her side, and returned Take that generous dowry!
She couldn't help being angry: "Did Pang Ruyun tell you this? That's right! I am indeed from a foreign country, and my father is the county magistrate of Qipin, but I am not rootless in the capital! Didn't your cousin Pang Ruyun tell you? She His mother, Mrs. Yu, is just a house fill-in for Pang’s mansion! The first wife of Pang’s mansion, Mrs. Wu, came from a family of noble poets and rites, and her ancestors founded the famous Qingfeng Academy in the two capitals! Wu Daru, who is full of peaches and plums, is Her father! The Wu family had Pang Ruxue, the eldest daughter of the Pang family! Pang Ruxue is my mother! Do you understand now? It's my maternal grandparent's home! My ancestors grew up here, and the capital is also my hometown. How dare you say that I have no roots? Grandma Gu's grandmother and my maternal grandmother are sisters! We were originally cousins , why do you need to cling to it?"

Yu Peizhu only heard some words from the conversation between Pang Ruyun and the old servant woman beside her, and knew that Yiqing's father was just a seventh-rank county magistrate from another province, but she didn't know that Yiqing was actually the granddaughter of Pang's family!This can't be her fault, she doesn't even know about Pang Ruxue's existence!

Although she often travels between Pang's house and Jian's house, how could her aunt Yu and Pang Ruyun let them children know what happened in the past?It's too late to hide it!
So Yu Peizhu was shocked, and only knew to curse: "Nonsense, this person seems to be crazy!"

Jian Zhenniang was also very surprised, she pulled Yiqing and asked, "You, are you really my cousin?"

Yiqing smiled wryly: "It doesn't matter...if you want, just treat me as a friend!"

But there was a girl who pulled her younger sister forward and said seriously to Yiqing: "I know this! My mother said: Pang's family really had two daughters in the past. The one in front is my sister! My mother played with her and said that she is very good at learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she is also very good at needlework!"

Yiqing smiled at the girl, bowed her head and said, "My name is Xia Yiqing, my mother Pang Ruxue, may I ask who you are?"

The two girls returned the salute, and the elder sister smiled and said, "My name is Luo Suqin, my younger sister is Luo Yuqin, and my mother's surname is Yue, Yue Shumei. Go back and tell me, maybe your mother can still remember, because my mother will remember you when she sees Mrs. Jian." When your mother comes, I always think about it!"

Seeing them like this, the other girls got to know each other, and felt very novel, so they all gathered around to talk to Xia Yiqing, while Yu Peizhu was left aside and ignored, stomping her feet and shaking her hands in anger, her face became more gloomy and ugly.

The Jin Mansion held a large banquet and invited relatives and friends to come and have fun at home. Naturally, all aspects must be taken care of properly. Even in the most secluded places in the mansion, there are servants on duty to ensure safety. Here Several young ladies quarreled and quarreled. Some maids and servants had already gone to report to them. Not long after, someone in charge of the Jin family came to look after them and tried to persuade them. The girls then dispersed and went back. They went to the hall to find their own mothers, they wanted to tell what happened by the lake, the wives were all surprised when they heard this, and even those like Yue Shumei who knew Pang Ruxue hurriedly went to Xia Yiqing to ask questions. I want to know more about Pang Ruxue's recent situation.

Today, the female relatives sent by the Pang Mansion to participate in the Jin Mansion's birthday banquet is the grandma Jiang Shi. Jiang was surrounded among the female guests. Faced with all kinds of questions about Pang Ruxue, she didn't know how to answer them. Pang Ruxue suddenly disappeared from the capital back then, and she hadn't even married into Pang's residence, so how could she know anything?At this time, I really hate Yu Peizhu to death. If she hadn't caused trouble, where would all these troubles have come from?
Jiang made up his mind that even if he offends his mother-in-law in the future, he will never agree to take Yu Peizhu out to socialize!From childhood to adulthood, this cousin is purely a troublemaker, very hateful!

However, Yue Shumei failed to find Xia Yiqing. Xia Yiqing was taken away by Fang Yuxian. Mrs. Zheng was waiting for the two sisters in an exquisite and quiet courtyard.

After Xia Yiqing followed Fang Yuxian and bowed to the old lady Zheng, she was pulled to the front by the old lady. She looked left and right, and the more she looked, the more she fell in love with her. The girl who was born with good fortune was the girl who bumped into her in the monastery, and immediately laughed and scolded: "You little girl! Let me tell you, why did you look so familiar? It made my heart ache when I bumped into it that day! Well, well! This is also a fate , I fell in love with you when I saw you that day, but you walked too fast, and I couldn't even give you a gift!"

The old lady stretched out her hand, and immediately a mother handed over a small mahogany box. The old lady took it and opened it. Inside was a pair of finely crafted twisted gold filigree soft bracelets dotted with small golden flowers, which she placed in Yiqing's hands. Hehe smiled and said: "Take it, it seems that it is specially made for you. It is just right for your soft white and tender wrists!"

Yiqing hurriedly declined, Fang Yuxian also said: "Old lady, she is only a child, she cannot bear such a heavy ceremony!"

"Children?" Mrs. Zheng hurriedly asked, "Is it old enough?"

Fang Yuxian smiled and said, "Last month, I just reached my birthday!"

"Hey, it's too old, it's not too small! It's not worth anything, it's better than it came from the palace, it's beautifully made, and the girls like it! Take it! It's a gift from the elders, you can't give it up!"

Yiqing looked at Fang Yuxian's gesture, so she had to accept it, and then thanked her. Mrs. Zheng smiled and asked them to sit down, drink tea and eat fruit, gossip and laugh, and asked about Yiqing's parents and family. After Yiqing answered, after drinking two or three cups of tea, someone came from Mrs. Jin's place and said that a banquet was about to be held, so she let them go.

When the two old ladies met, Mrs. Jin had heard the people below talk about the girls' bickering. Seeing that Mrs. Zheng's face was a little disturbed, she understood what she was thinking, so she laughed and joked: "Why? Is it not enough for you to be happy that the person my grandson likes has been robbed by you?"

Mrs. Zheng said annoyedly: "It's not that I want to snatch it, it's really that little friend who fell in love with it! But you said, he hasn't seen one he likes in a few years, but this one is only a seventh-rank county magistrate." My daughter is still from another province! It’s not right for this family to be inappropriate, alas! But what to do!”

The old lady Jin clicked her tongue again and again: "I heard you say it before, but if Brother Yan likes it, even if it is a peasant girl, I will marry him back. At most, I will train her for a few years, and I am afraid that she will not become a noble lady? It can be seen that this person is not greedy enough, Brother Yan finally fell in love with her, and you are disgusted with the lowly background of the girl again! You don’t want to be just right, give it back to me! That girl is very suitable for me, demure and gentle, well-proportioned, ruddy His complexion, his snow-white skin, looks like a good-born and blessed person, and he is the most suitable for my little four'er Baogui! You also know that little four'er has been naughty and restless since he was a child, and he fell off the cliff and made horses It’s so upside down that people worry about him when he goes out! I counted his fate and said that he was born in a wealthy family. He was loved by his parents and elders since he was a child. He is too precious! When you marry a wife in the future, you can’t marry a noble family. For the delicate young lady of a big family, it is best to find someone from the country with an average family background..."

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she suddenly realized: Didn't her grandson also have a fortune teller?It is also said that you can't marry a girl who is too precious, you have to have an average family background, so that the husband and wife can live in peace, live in harmony, love each other, and have prosperous children!The grandson once persuaded her with this, if the Wang family couple had not had an accident on the road, they would have almost settled on the Wang family girl!
That Wang Yaozhen has a pale face, a pointed chin, a coquettish and petty air, and a bad life, so she is determined not to be the daughter-in-law of Zheng's parents and grandsons!Now it's so easy for my grandson to fall in love with this Miss Xia, as the old lady Jin said, Miss Xia's eyebrows are like a crescent moon, her lips are like a dandelion, she is born with a blessing, her body is healthy and dignified, and she matches her thin and thin grandson Son, just right!
Thinking of this, the slight dislike of Xia family's humble thoughts disappeared, and Mrs. Zheng soon regained her spirits. She smiled and said to Mrs. Jin: "Look at what you said, what kind of family background? What kind of country and city? We The two sisters have lived to this point, how can we not see the glory and wealth? What can we do? But as long as he obediently marries a daughter-in-law and gives birth to me a precious grandson, he will be content!"

Seeing her turn around again, Mrs. Jin couldn't help laughing angrily: "You old rascal!"
