Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 327
Before entering Beijing, Mrs. Wang Zheng boasted to the daughter-in-law of the Wang family about the dignity and wealth of Duke Wen’s Mansion. The daughter-in-law and children were all proud to live in Mr. Wen’s Mansion. Unexpectedly, they were turned away after they arrived. How can the grievances be calmed down so easily? In two days, I will visit Mrs. Zheng at home and cry out in front of my mother.

Mrs. Zheng felt sorry for her little daughter, but she knew that her grandson’s words were very reasonable. The grandson said: Before the royal residence was built, the aunt brought her relatives to live in Wen Guogong’s mansion. The big house with five entrances has a back garden, which is empty. It is where cousin Wen Yuan lives. People from the Wang family can't go in, but they insist on crowding into the Duke's mansion. Those who don't know think that the house is there. How unlucky, this influence is not good!

Another meaning, Mrs. Zheng also understands, and she must support it. Her daughter has been married to another person, which represents the interests of other people's family, and it is her own grandson who supports the Zheng family's family. Can tell.

But after all, it's my own mother, who can ignore the flesh that fell from her body?Mrs. Zheng comforted Mrs. Wang with kind words, and gave her a few good things for her, and also taught her some principles. In the end, she asked Yiqing to generalize the mansion on the grounds that the second aunt's family had just arrived and the Wang residence was not well prepared. The new quilts, clothes and cloths, dried food and medicinal materials and all kinds of things that should be prepared for the winter in the warehouse were loaded into three large carts and sent to the Wang's residence. Only then did Wang Zheng show a smile.

On October 27th, the [-]th birthday of Grandpa Xu, the grandfather of the current emperor, the cousin of the empress, and the grandfather of Wen Guogong Zheng Jingyan, the whole capital is floating, and almost all the inns and pubs in the southeast and northwest urban areas have guests who come from other places to pay their respects. Not to mention the dignitaries, celebrities and rich men of the imperial capital of the capital, many people gave birthday gifts a few days before the birthday, and the streets and alleys are talking about the scale of the birthday banquet in the Xu Mansion, and people are talking about it. : The surname Xu, a famous family of a century-old family, was once oppressed by the Yu family, and finally became proud again, and rose again.

When Yiqing first learned that Mrs. Xu celebrated her 70th birthday, she couldn't help asking Zheng Jingyan curiously: "Our old lady is not even [-] years old, isn't she from the same generation? Why is my grandfather only [-]?"

Zheng Jingyan said: "What's so strange about this? We are still husband and wife, isn't there a difference of six or seven years?"

"That's what you say, but think about it, our mother is only in her 40s, and she doesn't have any older brothers or sisters. Could it be that my grandfather only married and had children in his thirties? Why did he go so early?"

Zheng Jingyan paused, and couldn't help reaching out and flicking her forehead: "This brain is too idle, and he will think about things! How do I know about the things of the older generation? But I can tell you: my teacher The door used to be the place where my grandfather lived. There were four brothers in my grandfather's family. There was an elder brother and a younger brother. He had indeed wandered outside for many years. Later, his elder brother died unexpectedly, so he had to go home! Stepping into the official career, he has made many achievements in government affairs, and was once in charge of the court, and the official was the Taifu!"

"That's right! I mean... the grandmother?"

"Grandmother passed away long ago. She had two daughters and one son, who were our mother and the emperor's mother. My uncle was framed by the Yu family, dismissed from office and returned home, and died in depression. My aunt went too sad, leaving two The son was brought up by Xu Xian's grandmother. This Xu Xian's grandmother had no family. She was the grandmother's concubine. She was timid and weak by nature. Both uncles and cousins ​​followed her. They were cowardly and had already married and had children. , but dare not stand out in everything, just stay at home and spend the day... The entire family of the Xu family has more than a hundred people in Beijing, and there are more than a hundred people outside the capital. There are many cousins ​​of our generation, and the house is In the same neighborhood, this grandfather’s birthday, family reunion, you can see and know many relatives!”

Yiqing complained: "You don't have any useful brothers and sisters. It's the first time I go back to my natal family on behalf of the women of the Zheng family. I'm so weak. I feel a bit shabby... Mother, I advise you After so many times, she just refused to go back to the Xu Mansion to kowtow to my grandfather to celebrate his birthday—hey, you used to say that I was ruthless to my father, but you see my mother is stronger than me!"

Zheng Jingyan smiled wryly and said, "You are not the same as your mother. This matter is a long story, but I should let you know. Let's make a long story short: when my mother married my father, there was already a woman beside my father, and that was Lan Ti. The woman’s name is Hongyun, Hongyun appeared in Zheng’s mansion because of her great-grandmother—the general you admire the most, and you always pay extra respect to her every time you go to the ancestral hall. Grandmother! Hongyun and his father were childhood sweethearts, and they had a very close relationship, but grandma didn't like Hongyun, so she hired another Xu family for my father, that is, our mother! Father and mother were married, so they had to allow Hongyun to be a noble concubine, but Hongyun felt malicious , Poisoning my mother’s fetus—my mother lost a baby before me, and then Hongyun repeated the same trick, which is why I was born prematurely and almost died because of the huge poison! At that time, my grandfather asked my father to deal with Hongyun, but my father refused. Instead, he exonerated Hongyun from his guilt. In a rage, my grandfather brought the Xu family children to the door to take my mother back, but my father refused to let my mother take me away. From now on, there are only sons and husbands, no fathers! The mother swore a poisonous oath, and she dare not go back to the Xu Mansion, not because she is afraid of harming her, but because she is worried that her grandfather will be harmed!"

Yiqing was stunned for a long while, and she had long forgotten her original question, and murmured: "Lanti is vicious enough, a mother with such a vicious heart should be damned! Mother is so pitiful! Your father is a big bastard! Let him It's bad luck for eight lifetimes!"

Zheng Jingyan looked at Yiqing helplessly, and sighed: "He is my father after all, Bao'er's grandfather, you don't scold him if you are a daughter-in-law! Father is actually a good man, upright, loyal to the king and serving the country, except for Hong Yun This is wrong!"

Yiqing sneered coldly: "Isn't this abominable enough? What else? I don't care who he is? With me, those who spoil concubines and destroy wives are all..."

Zheng Jingyan stretched out his hand to cover her mouth, and begged, "Little ancestor! The deceased is dead, and I'll ask forgiveness and admit his mistake on his behalf, okay?"

Yiqing broke away from him, and asked angrily, "What happened to that Hongyun? It's unreasonable for her to give birth to a poisonous woman like Lanti!"

"That Hongyun, she was protected by her father, and her grandmother took action to punish her, so she could only be sent to the village to meditate, and her father often visited her. Later, she gave birth to Lanti in the village and said that she died of dystocia. Take Lanti back and raise her under her mother's name!"

Yiqing was furious: "Men are thick-skinned, but women are so weak... I have nothing to say! I'm going to die of anger!"

"It's all in the past. I don't even have time to grow up. Protecting my mother, it's useless for you to be angry!"

Zheng Jingyan hugged her waist and said: "Okay, don't be angry, it hurts you! Let's discuss the matter of paying respects to grandfather's birthday—let's check the birthday gift again. For such a big thing, Du Zhong and Gan Song will be sent to the mansion first, then the couple will just hold Bao'er and come to pay their respects!"
