Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 35 Unwilling
The news of the marriage between Zheng Jingyan, Marquis of Rongping, and Xia Yiqing, the granddaughter of the Pang Mansion, spread in the capital. Many girls were sad and disappointed. Among them, Zheng Jingyan's cousin, Wang Wenhui, lived in Zheng Mansion since she was 12 years old. , enjoying the comfortable and rich life far better than her family, she almost regards herself as a real lady of the Hou Mansion. She also knew that one day she would leave the Hou Mansion and marry into someone else's house, but she never expected that when this day really came. At that time, she was reluctant, she was not willing!

Back then when her mother asked her if she would like to be her cousin's wife, because her grandmother meant that, she refused without even thinking about it!Although my cousin was born handsome, his body was as weak as a wicker. Even the fortune teller said he would not live long. She didn't want to be a widow at a young age!

But now she knows that she likes her cousin!

But it was already too late. The Peng family in the capital city came to propose a marriage. The grandmother said that the Peng family was a rich family, and someone in the family was an official. Moreover, the second master Peng had a reputation for raising others, which is very good!After sending the letter back to Wang's family, her mother wanted her to marry in the capital, so she asked her aunt Fang Zheng to accept the marriage first, and wait for her parents to arrive in a few days before giving up the rest of the ceremony... Seeing how my cousin got engaged these days The ceremony was held in a grand and lively manner, and she suddenly regretted it, extremely regretted it!
She once begged her aunt in private, and Fang Zhengshihu raised her face and scolded: "You can't think about it! Your grandmother thought about getting married back then, but if you match your horoscope, it's the fate of Xiangke, it won't work! You must know that your Cousin Jing is the lifeblood of the old lady, so there is no chance of any mistakes! You have your own blessing, the Peng family has already agreed, just wait until the ceremony is over to plan the wedding date, don't worry!"

Wang Wenhui lay on the bed, crying heartbroken.

Another person who is sad because Zheng Jingyan is about to get married is the Wang Yaozhen who is in the filial piety period of the Wang family.

On a cold winter night, although it was not yet the time for snowfall, the wind was blowing and the chill was penetrating the bones. The sound of Yaoqin came from a lighted room in the backyard of Wang's residence. The woman's lingering sighs and low moaning sobs make people sigh and cannot help but feel sad.

The person who played the qin was Wang Yaozhen, who was feeling sad late at night, so she played the qin by the window to soothe her sorrow.

Speaking of which, Wang Yaozhen was indeed extremely wronged, Zheng Jingyan took her to heart, and tried every means to marry as a companion for life, who knows that good fortune tricks people, and several times of twists and turns lead to such an ending!

The tears she shed in the past few years have almost gathered together into a river. She was not a weak body, but now she has been reduced to a sick Xishi. Zheng Jingyan made a lot of pills for her to strengthen her body. There is no way to make her plump up again. Minor illnesses continue on a daily basis, and dizziness is a common occurrence. This is caused by emotional depression and irregular diet. It is difficult to cure these problems.

The night wind was cold, and in the courtyard outside, under the clear starry sky, at some point, there appeared a tall and handsome figure, wrapped in a dark red cloak and wearing a moon-white brocade robe, like a Lanzhi jade tree, with a charming elegance, Standing silently in the cold wind, quietly listening to the sad sound of the piano coming from the house.

The lamps and candles in the house shook from time to time, and finally were blown out by the wind. The sound of the piano stopped abruptly, and a maid's voice said: "Girl, the wind is too strong, let's close the window, Liu Yan, light the lamp." Come on, take another stick of incense!"

The voice that was supposed to be gentle and melodious became hoarse and low at this time, and he said lazily: "No need, pack everything up, I'm sleepy too...Qing He, I heard noises in the yard, go and have a look again Is the courtyard door closed?"

Qing He said: "Miss, don't worry, I just sent Mrs. Yan out and closed the gate of the courtyard...Miss, go to bed, I have been staying up late every night for a few days in a row, my health will not recover!"

"Speak up, go to sleep!"

Zheng Jingyan was about to step forward, but the candles in the room went out again, so he stopped, sighed slightly, looked at the long wooden box in his hand, and thought to himself, come back tomorrow, let her sleep well Feel better than how many panaceas to eat!
The body moved slightly, and the clothes fluttered up into the sky, but the elegant figure like a banished fairy fell into the eyes of Qing He who pushed the door out, Qing He was stunned with her mouth open: Oh my God!It turned out that he had come early!The girl has been waiting for half a night, if she can hold on for a little longer, she will be able to see Lord Hou!

She regretted that she shouldn't have persuaded the girl to go to bed, but at this time she would never tell the girl what she saw!
Zheng Jingyan came home very late in the evening. He could have gone out earlier to see Wang Yaozhen, but was kept by his grandmother and mother to discuss the marriage, making him one big and two big, very troubled.

He didn't expect that he just went out with the fourth prince for more than ten days, and when he got home, his grandmother really got the girl right for him, even marrying her!
On the way there, he confidently boasted to the Fourth Prince: "This time I can be quiet for a while!"

On the way back, he heard that his marriage had been settled. After confirming the authenticity of the good news, the fourth prince pointed at him and laughed, almost fell off his horse with joy.

But he turned black. He was the only one who was good at making people suffer from being dumb. Unexpectedly, this time when the boat capsized in the gutter, he actually miscalculated!

Is he too confident?He used her as a shield without seriously inquiring about the real background of the girl. Now this situation can be regarded as shooting himself in the foot?But at that time, Mingming saw that girl selling shoes at a stall, she was single in the monastery, she didn't even have a personal servant, and her clothes were simple and plain, at best she looked like a noble family, but she definitely didn't look like a noble girl!
After Wu Daru and Pang Da, the granddaughter of a third-rank court official, she sells shoes on the street like a very experienced businessman. She is skilled in bargaining, and even collects money in a calm and natural manner... It's ridiculous!Even if she's just the daughter of a seventh-rank county magistrate, it's not... so short of money, right?

If Yuan Cong knew that he was going to marry that shoe seller girl as his wife, I don't know how surprised he would be, I'm afraid he would laugh even harder than the fourth prince!
The one who got hurt because of this was sister Yaozhen... It's really his fault, he made a big mistake by pretending to be clever!

If the old grandmother hadn't decided on this marriage, he would definitely have to find a way to get it back. It doesn't matter if he broke his promise, he would do it anyway, and he never tires of cheating, but he can't move now, and he can't afford to offend the old ancestor!
The ancestor looked radiant as if eating a pistachio, and laughed loudly. He took his hand and said: "That's a wonderful girl!"The master combined your horoscopes, ouch!It is a rare match in a century!They are born and prospered together, a match made in heaven!No wonder you like her, I also looked at her in the monastery that day, it turns out that this marriage is a match made by Yuelao, a match made in heaven!You see, the world is far and wide, she came when she should come!If this is missed, not only the ancestors will be angry, but even the world will not tolerate it!
Facing the happy and smiling faces of his ancestors, Zheng Jingyan couldn't express it. He really couldn't bear to go against her wishes and say even a half-sentence of unpleasant words!

It was destined to be difficult for some people to fall asleep that night, and even Wang Wenhui and Wang Yaozhen's sadness and troubles fell asleep, but Zheng Jingyan sat leaning on the table in the study, sighing, suffocated by his own self-defeating internal injuries!

The girl in the capital, he has seen each other for several years, and also rejected it for a few years. It's not that the girl is not good, but because he has a firm heart and has no intention of showing mercy. His promise was already given to sister Yaozhen. Xia Yiqing's little girl from the south of the Yangtze River, who just arrived, so easily snatched the position of wife he reserved for sister Yaozhen!

It's really both helpless and a little unwilling.

Sleepless all night, practicing qi and meditating until dawn, the housekeeper came to report that there were guests in the hall in the front yard. Many people heard that Marquis Rong Ping had returned to his mansion, and they all came to visit him. When I went to my room, I found that the long wooden box that was casually placed on the table last night was gone.

I called the girl who was in charge of wiping the furniture in the room to ask, but the two girls couldn't help but say: I didn't see anyone taking the wooden box, but in the morning, my aunt and Miss Biao came to visit Lord Hou, and they were in the house. Sit for a while.

Zheng Jingyan didn't ask them any more questions, he just called the mother who was in charge of the affairs of the Hanjin court over, and said to her, "Take these two girls away, the Hanjin court will not leave anyone with blind eyes, and then you go and receive the punishment yourself. You don't have to come back to me!"

The mother in charge and the two maids hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy, Zheng Jingyan said: "You are not so smart, I will remember for you, this is the third time: in my house, in my own yard, it has been stolen three times for no reason. , still can’t tell why, what’s the use of you?”

The mother in charge stared back at the two girls, and a little girl cried and said, "It was the aunt who took the wooden box! In the past two times, one was the aunt, and the other was the cousin!"

Zheng Jingyan snorted: "You are from the old lady, you don't need to listen to what I say? Do you know the rules of the study in the front yard? Even if I'm not inside and the door is open, no one can put half a foot in! This is Hanjin Courtyard, the place where I rest, even with the door closed, people can come and go one after another. I don’t speak to give you a chance to reflect on yourself! There are only three things, and everyone has three chances, not less than one, and one more But it won’t work! Let’s all go, if the old lady still takes you in, you go back to An He Tang, there will be no one left here!”

After dismissing these people, Zheng Jingyan sat alone in the room and felt bored: There is no shortage of ginseng in the Hou's mansion. There are more than a dozen top-grade ginsengs that have been around for decades or even a century. Ginseng, which is extremely rare to see, he hid it quietly, thinking that sister Yaozhen's physique is getting weaker and weaker, he can teach her to use this ginseng to nourish slowly, and in a year or so, she can return to her original rosy and healthy body, but unexpectedly last night two People didn't meet each other, the next day the ginseng flew away!
