Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 28
Mrs. Zheng had already asked people to inquire about Xia Yiqing's ins and outs. She only knew that Xia Yiqing was a relative of the Fang family, and her father was a Qipin county magistrate. Fang Zheng imitated what the wives and wives said about the Xia family's mother and daughter, and couldn't help laughing:

"It turned out to be a descendant of the Pang family and the Wu family! No wonder, the child said that he came from other provinces and villages, but he was as dignified and elegant as these girls in the capital. This is what children from aristocratic families have! Now the Wu family is in decline, and the Pang family is just a third-rank servant of the Ministry of Rites, but after all, the lingering charm is still there! Anyone who is a little older knows Wu Daru and Pang Dashi back then... Mrs. Jin must have heard it long ago. Say you don’t care about the girl’s family background, hehehe! She can’t coax me!”

Mrs. Zheng was also unambiguous, because she asked Fang Yuxian at Jin's house and learned that Xia's mother and daughter are now living in their cousin Fang's house, so she asked her daughter-in-law to visit Fang's house with gifts the next day, but she didn't disturb Xia's mother and daughter. It is said that when the eldest granddaughter of the Fang family held the full moon wine a few days ago, the Hou Mansion was probably too busy to congratulate with the gift, and offended, so I came here today to make up the gift and take a look at the young lady by the way.

When Mrs. Zheng said goodbye and left, she invited Mrs. Zhao to take a walk in the Hou's mansion. Mrs. Zhao agreed, and with a smile on her face, she sent Mrs. Zheng out of the house.

After thinking about it on the way, Mrs. Zhao turned and walked towards Xitou Jiaoyuan.

Mrs. Zhao also went to the Jin Mansion's birthday banquet yesterday. Although she returned home early, her daughter Fang Yuxian told Xia Yiqing all about what happened later when she sent Xia Yiqing back. She didn't say anything to her daughter, but she understood in her heart Seeing Mrs. Zheng visiting again now, the more I thought about it, the more it seemed like that. I decided to talk to her cousin. It was because she was too indulgent back then. She hadn’t heard from her cousin for more than ten years. This time, it was hard to reunite. It is better for the two cousins ​​to talk to each other. If the cousin has any difficulties, the cousin must help her with an idea.

The cousin and mother were talking in the room over there, Xia Yiqing and the sisters did not go to sit next to each other, each doing needlework, Yiqing embroidered and wiped the forehead for the mother and aunt, and Leqing used silver crochet to weave small clothes. The method was taught by my elder sister, who twisted the thread with cashmere, and then used such a silver crochet needle to weave a soft and warm clothes. Weaving clothes, the two sisters agreed, and while weaving by themselves, they taught the girls in Fangfu, so that not only children will have it, but adults will also have it!
Pang is now a big belly and two months away from giving birth. It is the most critical time. Zhao always asks the people around her to take care of her and not to let her go out. Except for rest, she only walks around in the banana yard every day. Don't let her know what's going on outside, just ask her to spend these two months safely, and everything will be fine if the baby is born smoothly!So Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Pang talked for a long time, full of gossip about their parents, and finally Mrs. Zhao joked that Yiqing was too old for her. Seeing that, I am afraid that I will be asked to be a daughter-in-law, so what should I do?

Pang said with a smile: "Sooner or later, my daughter will be someone else's daughter-in-law. Even if the parents are reluctant, can they still keep her and raise her for the rest of their lives? There are people who really look up to our girl. If it suits Yiqing, first It's okay to settle down... Now I am like this, her father will not come until February and March next year, and everything is up to my cousin to decide for her!"

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, she nodded and smiled in agreement, and sat for a while, seeing that Pang was a little tired, so she let her rest, left the east room by herself, and went to the west room to watch her two nieces doing needlework.

Yiqing and Leqing got up to welcome their aunt, and asked Cuixiang to make a cup of hot tea. Mrs. Zhao took a close look at the work the two girls had done, praised them with a smile, and then told Yiqing said:

"Your needlework is extremely delicate. With such care, even the embroidery from the palace can't compare to yours! Yesterday at the Jin Mansion, Mrs. Jin and Mrs. Zheng kindly gave you something, and you also You should prepare two small items, no matter what they are, if you made them with your own hands, it is a kindness, and if you have the opportunity to present them, it will be considered as a favor or two!"

After hearing this, Yiqing nodded her head and said: "What my aunt taught me, I know! I don't know what else to do, so why not embroider a forehead for everyone?"

"Okay, courtesy is light and affection is heavy, that's fine!"

Mrs. Zhao said again in a low voice: "Yesterday you robbed Miss Yu in the Jin Mansion, so don't pay too much attention to it! What you said is all the truth, it's because she is ignorant! That's fine, I don't need to bother to explain, everyone will I know your backgrounds: you are the granddaughter of the Pang family, the great-great-grandson of Wu Daru! Now the word is spreading: the Miss Pang family who disappeared inexplicably back then is back! The husband is a seventh-rank county magistrate, and the daughter is as beautiful as a flower, astute and intelligent ... There are also people who say that since ancient times, stepmothers have not tolerated daughters-in-law of the former house, and that your mother was secretly married by Mrs. Yu to other places in order to save a dowry! No wonder people say that, not many people know that your grandmother left you Such a large dowry!"

Le Qing sighed: "The Pang family is a high-ranking official. He doesn't want our mother and takes away the dowry. Our mother and daughter are weak and can't get it back, so we have to suffer this loss!"

Yiqing looked at her and said to Mrs. Zhao: "Mother also said that it is something outside of the body, if you don't give it, you don't want it. But I think, if there are some items that my grandmother once used and cherished very much? Or my grandmother's? What about the treasures that my father has treasured for decades? If they are lost in the hands of outsiders, they will be very sad if they know it! If you can get back a few pieces and put them on the altar when offering sacrifices, it will be comforting!"

After hearing this, Mrs. Zhao hugged Yiqing with red eyes and sighed, "My son, why didn't you become a man! Alas! Your mother has half your heart, so it's fine!"

At noon, Pang Shi went back to the mansion, without changing his official uniform, he went straight into the inner courtyard, slammed the table and threw bowls in the second hall, and scolded Mrs Yu again.

Because of the episode at the Jin family's birthday banquet, the couple are now extremely angry. Yu had a child at the age of 40, and his health has always been poor. Every spring, autumn, early winter and early winter, he needs to take care of himself to reduce the pain. After listening to the report from the eldest daughter-in-law at night, she knew that her niece Peizhu had caused a big problem, so she had to cheer up and accompany the master to persuade the master carefully when he returned home, concealing the facts, and only said that the little girl Xia Yiqing was too hateful , Those remarks were really ulterior motives. The couple were trying to deal with it, but their daughter Pang Ruyun came running to the door. After a lot of noise, Yu Peizhu was finally stabbed. Figured it out: it turned out that Yu Peizhu was stupid and ignorant, and ran to provoke Ruxue's daughter Xia Yiqing, but Xia Yiqing was not Pang Ruxue who could be rounded and flattened. A newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and she is not afraid of girls in the capital. Opportunity, publicize that she is the granddaughter of the Pang family!Through the mouths of the noble ladies, she achieved her goal—Pang Ruxue, the eldest daughter of the Pang Mansion, brought her son and daughter back to the capital, Pang Mansion, do you recognize it or not?
Pang Shizhi felt ashamed of the past, and she refused to think about it. After so many years, people have long forgotten Ruxue. She returned to the capital, lived quietly in Fangfu for a while, and then left. Then nothing would happen, but that ignorant woman from the Yu family provoked the trouble!
Pang Shizhi was furious, pointing at the mother and daughter and yelling at them, without giving Yu any face, in front of his son, daughter-in-law and all the servants, he recounted that Yu had only cared about his natal family for many years, moved money and things back to Yu's house, and the girls of Yu's house let her go. She was raised in Pang's house, the upper beam was not straight and the lower beam was crooked. In the end, her daughter Pang Ruyun also learned to be a mother. The mother's family is making trouble!

Pang Shizhi finally scolded Yu's mother and daughter: two prodigals!
The eldest daughter-in-law, Jiang Shi, who was standing next to her was very relieved, while Yu Shi was so angry that she spit out a mouthful of old blood, causing old problems, and felt pain all over her body all night long.

Today, too, he didn't have enough food, and he was sickly and weakly leaning on the couch, and was scolded by Pang Shizhi for running home. He was so angry, hated and regretful that he almost fainted.

She really regrets it now, regretting that Yu Peizhu should have followed Jiang to Jin's house to join in the fun!

After all, Mrs. Yu did not pass out, took a sip of the ginseng soup served by the eldest daughter-in-law, and then came back slowly. He figured out that Pang Shizhi came home and lost his temper. The husband of Yue Shumei, Pang Ruxue’s childhood playmate, asked about Pang Ruxue on behalf of his wife in front of all the officials, and said that his wife wanted to bring the children to Pang’s mansion to visit her best friend in the past two days. I couldn't stop asking about Pang Ruxue. After all, as the eldest daughter of the Pang family, Pang Ruxue got married quietly and didn't even hold a wedding banquet, while Pang Ruyun, the youngest daughter of the Pang family, got married and made a big fuss. Those who were officials in the same dynasty didn't have weddings and funerals, so naturally there were accompanying rituals, and if there were accompanying rituals, there would be records, and they would never be forgotten!
Pang Shizhi choked out a few pale explanations, already sweating profusely!

If the evil fire in his heart does not burst out, he will be the one who fainted!

Why are all the sons and daughters raised by him unvirtuous and unfilial? The youngest son made him think hard and empty out his old self. Although the older son is more secure, he has mediocre qualifications. It takes a lot of effort to be the old man. Pull him into a six-rank idle job; the younger daughter is not worrying when she gets married, she ran back to her mother's house crying after arguing with her son-in-law, poured out her grievances and sought justice for her... and the eldest daughter , she is disobedient, she would rather marry Bai Yilang far away than resolve his worries, if she was willing to marry to the Prime Minister's mansion back then, Pang's mansion would not be so sad now!
Pang Shizhi knew his daughter well. She met a bandit in the mountains, and it was Xia Xiuping who rescued her. The two lonely men and widows spent the night together. According to the teachings Ru Xue had received on a daily basis, she must promise her with her body. If she married another For others, she will feel guilty, afraid of being rejected by others, and will have no peace for the rest of her life!

But things should be treated differently. The third son of the Xiangfu who is asking to marry her is a widow with many concubines and children. It would be nice to marry Ruxue. What does he have to dislike?
But Ruxue was stubborn, and followed Xia Xiuping regardless of his obstruction!But she was a conscientious person who didn't ask him for all of her mother's dowry. You must know that if she had done that, he wouldn't have been able to get the full dowry!

The 1 taels of silver note given to Ruxue was that he sold a precious jade article in the dowry. He got 3 taels, used up [-] taels, and gave the remaining [-] taels to Ruxue as a pawn. her dowry!

Now that Ruxue came back, if he brought up the dowry matter again, he would also be unable to deal with it!
Therefore, he hated it very much, hated Yu's mother and daughter for not accomplishing enough and failing!It's all for the girls of the Yu family to take care of them, and they take them with them everywhere they go all day long, just like the daughters of their own family!Finally, something happened. If you don't clean up well this time, you will be ashamed to see others!
