Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 40
Zheng Jingyan quietly returned to the new house, a pair of dragon and phoenix candles were still shining brightly, and there was heavy snow falling outside, the wind was blowing, and it was bitingly cold, but inside the new house was full of joy, warm as spring, with thick and soft cashmere Lichen pulled out the bead curtain and walked into the inner room. The round table was still served with wine and dishes, and the bowls and chopsticks were arranged neatly, apparently untouched. Stopping in front of the gauze, I glanced at the jewels inside with my hands behind my back. It was so splendid, it felt like looking at someone else's bedroom.

Is she the owner of this luxurious new house?
The rosewood carved large bed has no curtains hanging down, and a woman is lying sideways in the soft and gorgeous brocade bushes, her arms stretch out the quilt, her long black hair like water hangs down the edge of the bed, her skin is better than snow, her hair is like a waterfall, like a treasure of dragon and phoenix. Candles cannot be extinguished intentionally. The red light in the new house is bright and transparent. It's hard for her to sleep so sweetly and peacefully without any discomfort!

Zheng Jingyan's lips curled into a sneer, he didn't know whether to laugh at himself or Xia Yiqing.

Knowing that his grandmother really chose the little business girl who sold shoes on the street as his fiancée, Zheng Jingyan couldn't help but be surprised. That woman actually got into his grandmother's eyes, which means that she really has some wealth background, but she was mistaken and miscalculated?

He immediately asked people to check on Xia Yiqing, from the father to the three generations of the ancestors to check thoroughly, there must be no omissions!

Even if you find something bad about her house, it can be used as a reason to withdraw from the engagement!

The result of the investigation made him laugh and cry——Xia Yiqing, she was indeed not a merchant girl, maybe it was just a misunderstanding that she was selling shoes on the street that day!

Her father, Xia Xiuping, graduated from the imperial examination and is currently the magistrate of Qipin County in a certain county in Huzhou. His files are kept in the Ministry of Officials, and it is written clearly: After passing the Jinshi examination, he will serve as the county magistrate of a certain county in Huzhou. He has married his wife Pang Ruxue. The eldest daughter Xia Yiqing is two years old!

Xia's family has been farming and studying for generations, and they are innocent, and her grandfather's Pang's family, and even her mother's grandfather's Wu's family, needless to say, the aristocratic families are noble and famous, which can be compared with the Hou's mansion!
The three of them, mother and daughter, came to the capital and got married to the Hou's mansion within a month. Apart from Xia Yiqing's luck, it was inseparable from her wit!

Of course, Zheng Jingyan's smartness played a key role!

Pang Ruxue, the eldest aunt of the Pang Mansion, married quietly to the south of the Yangtze River. She had no contact with her natal family for 16 years. After 16 years, she returned to the capital. My aunt Pang Ruyun had been to Fang's mansion before, and finally got into an argument. The concierge of Fang's mansion said that Mrs. Jian was too outrageous, she went to other people's house to make noise, and wanted to drive away other people's guests, she was really crazy!

Combined with Xia Yiqing's quarrel with Pang Ruyun's cousin Yu Peizhu in the Jin Mansion, she admitted that she came from other provinces, and her father was only a seventh-rank county magistrate, but at the same time publicized that she was a descendant of the Pang Mansion and Wu Mansion. Si, so, she has a foundation in the capital!
Although it was just a child quarreling, what she said was very reasonable and everyone recognized it!
In this way, we can find out the reason why Xia's mother and daughter returned to the capital but did not live in the Pang Mansion - the Pang Mansion actually doesn't want to see them, and it can even be said that they don't want to recognize them at all!
Otherwise, why did Xia Yiqing need to use such an opportunity to reveal her identity as the granddaughter of the Pang family?At that time, the female relatives of the Pang Mansion who came to the Jin Mansion to celebrate her birthday could have introduced her and told everyone who she was, it was just a matter of one sentence!

As for why Pang's family didn't want to recognize Xia's mother and daughter, the reason is simple: the stepmother's respect!

It is difficult for a late mother to tolerate a stepdaughter, and it has been the same since ancient times. Pang Ruxue was born of Pang Shi's former eldest lady. It is said that this young lady was gentle and timid when she was a girl. There is a means, Miss Pang Da disappeared in the capital without a sound and married to other provinces, it should be Yu's handwriting!

Now Pang Ruxue came back suddenly and brought back two daughters. The eldest daughter Xia Yiqing seemed to be demure and gentle at first glance, but obviously she did not inherit her mother's disposition. Taking the opportunity to force Pang's family to admit her granddaughter's identity, would such a woman be weak and forbearing?
There is another ridiculous thing - Du Zhong once reported to him that a piece of gold and stone seal carving of the Qin Dynasty that he had been looking for for many years was found in Jian's mansion some time ago and belonged to Mrs. Jian's dowry. It might be difficult for Mrs. Jian to get rid of it. Silver is not a problem, but Mrs. Jian refuses to sell the dowry, and the young and old masters of the Jian family are all fond of appreciating gold and stones, it is even more impossible to allow that piece of gold and stone from the previous dynasty to fall into the hands of others!
But today, Eucommia happily came to tell him: He happened to go to take a look while putting on makeup, and found that the gold and stone seal carving actually appeared in the young lady's dowry!In addition to the gold and stone inscriptions, there are a few other rare items, including a set of thread-bound ancient books, very similar to the ghost millet that Lord Hou once said, the heavenly book that ordinary people can't understand...

After Zheng Jingyan heard this, he also took time to take a look. It was indeed as Du Zhong said: the young lady has a generous dowry, and there are ten dowry items among them, all of which are rare treasures in the eyes of those who know the goods!
There are calligraphy and paintings by Wu Daru, which are now undoubtedly masterpieces left behind, as well as famous paintings and famous posters of predecessors, isolated ancient books, all of which are stamped with the seal of Wu Daru's collection... All signs indicate that these dowries should be given by Wu Daru. His daughter, Pang Ruxue's mother Wu family bought them, but why did they become the dowry of Pang Ruyun, the eldest wife of Jian's family, and why were they transferred here?

It goes without saying that when Pang Ruxueyuan married Jiangnan, she suffered a dumb loss. The dowry left by her mother was taken by Yu's mother and daughter. The powerful forces suppressed Pang Ruyun, and took back the dowry that belonged to his mother from Yu's mother and daughter!
Xia Yiqing, that's not bad, she is careful and scheming!If she hadn't met the marriage in Rongpinghou's mansion by chance, even if she had supernatural abilities, she would not be able to compete with Pang's and Jian's mansions, and she would still be forced to leave the capital in the end!

Therefore, she firmly grasped the Hou's mansion, and didn't care about who she married. She only needed a powerful husband's family to give her face and be her support... There is nothing wrong with this, marry into a wealthy family and enjoy wealth and honor , Isn't it the dream of most women?
Zheng Jingyan admitted the judgment secretly, what does it mean to hit a snake with a stick?Xia Yiqing is a living example!I originally wanted to use her to get rid of the marriage, but who would want to be used by her instead!

Forget it, Quan took it as a great deed, just like giving her a pillow when she was about to doze off, good man!

Good people should be rewarded with good rewards, Xia Yiqing, I hope you will be obedient, and everyone can discuss things!
Zheng Jingyan leaned on the soft pillow in the outer couch with his clothes on, stretched out his hand to pinch the space between his brows, and closed his eyes. There is still some time before dawn, let's cultivate our spirits first!

A good night's sleep, Xia Yiqing woke up first when the sky was twilight.

It wasn't that she had a good habit of waking up early, but that she heard screams outside the new house. The voice of the dowry mother Rong brought from Pang's mansion was sharp, and she woke up after only two calls.

Then I heard the maidservant Hua Yu's voice, which was much more pleasant than Rong's mother's gentle voice: "Young madam, young madam is about to wake up! It won't look good when the old lady comes and shouts later!"

Two years older is different. Huayu, Yunping, and Hongying are all dowry girls brought by Pang's mansion. Compared with Cuixiang, they are more stable and know more things. Originally, Pang Shizhi meant that he carefully The three selected will take on important responsibilities and be Yiqing's big girls, but Cuixiang is the first to follow Yiqing. She is responsible and loyal, so how can she continue?I had no choice but to keep them all and be big girls!

Yiqing remembered that she didn't cut in the door before going to bed last night, why couldn't the girls come in?
She got up and got out of bed, with her hair loose and walked quickly to the outside, and saw a man sleeping on the soft couch with clothes on, with a handsome figure and a handsome face, she felt relieved for no reason: It's okay, remember to come back, or wait a while He doesn't know how to deal with his family.

Yiqing slowly approached the soft couch, leaning over to wake him up, but she was a bit reluctant, this man was good-looking, and his sleeping appearance was so fascinating!Gentle, calm, peaceful, pure, refined, like a male god wandering in the world, who is it?Lu Dongbin?

No!Lu Dongbin was coquettish and powerful, which did not match this person's elegant temperament.

Yiqing thought of many young and handsome male gods in the "New Conferred Gods List" she had seen in her previous life, and was wondering which number to match. Zheng Jingyan suddenly opened her eyes, which startled Yiqing, and took two steps back in panic. , Fu Fushen said: "Master Hou is awake? Just about to wake you up!"

Zheng Jingyan sat up and looked at her quietly. This woman is still pretending to be calm. Doesn't she know that her whole face is completely red?

He actually woke up when Xia Yiqing quickly ran out of the inner room, and heard her walking towards him, thinking that if he sat up at this time, it would seem that he had a tacit understanding with her, why not let her call, she alone One must not be able to cope with what happened this morning, but she is the one who is anxious now!
Who would have thought that the woman would hold her breath when she walked up to her, and remained silent for a while, Zheng Jingyan couldn't hold on any longer, and when she opened her eyes, she saw her smiling at him with sparkling eyes and a pink face...

Like most people, did this little woman take his face for a flower?

Zheng Jingyan's face was sullen, his eyes were cold and he didn't speak, the heat on Xia Yiqing's face became hotter and hotter, as if it was on fire, she felt helpless in her heart - she didn't do anything, she just peeked at the sleeping face of a beautiful man, as for that?
Well, thick skin will blush too, no matter what, it's important to do business!

"Master Hou, look, there will be people from the old lady's side in a while, what should I do?"

Of course Zheng Jingyan understood what she was referring to. The Yuan handkerchief laid out on the bed was not red. If the groom cares about it, the bride's life will be over!

Of course, the man's family will also get some laughing stock, although it is relatively minor, but it is like a piece of mud on the clothes, it is always uncomfortable.

He sat up, put on his shoes and went to the bedroom, passed by Yiqing and said, "Come with me!"

Yiqing paused, then went in behind him, watched him go to the corner chest of drawers and opened the drawer, took out a short sword wrapped in a delicate leather sheath, and gently pulled it out for more than an inch. De Yiqing narrowed her eyes slightly and looked away.

"Come on, which hand? Or the foot?"

Zheng Jingyan's voice is nice, elegant and clean, with a little magnetism. This is his uniqueness. In addition, he has a calm and dignified demeanor. Although he looks weak and his handsome face tends to be feminine, no one thinks he has a naughty personality. On the contrary, sometimes there is a kind of intimidating force in him.

Just like when he opened his eyes on the couch just now, Yiqing's heart beats faster because of the shrewd and sharp eyes. It is definitely not because of his beauty, but because he was really frightened!
And now, his expression is indifferent and his eyes are cold, which makes Yiqing feel shuddering.

She stepped back: "Why me?"

"Of course it's you. Is it possible that a man will bleed on the wedding night? My blood is very precious and cannot be spilled meaninglessly!"

Zheng Jingyan didn't allow Yiqing to go far, and grabbed her left wrist as soon as he stretched out his hand: "Is this hand?"

Yiqing tried to pull her hand back, but she couldn't move at all, and she didn't see Zheng Jingyan's movements clearly. A white knife flashed in front of her eyes, and she felt something lightly slashing her wrist, and the shouting sound stuck in her throat. The blood dripped on the yuan handkerchief!
She didn't feel any pain, so she didn't cry anymore.

I heard Zheng Jingyan ask: "Is that enough?"

She replied: "Enough!"

When her wrist was cold, Zheng Jingyan actually pressed the blade of a knife on her wound to stop the bleeding. After only a short while, he let go of her hand, and the bleeding stopped.

"Don't let people discover your wound, otherwise, you will be gossiped about!"

Zheng Jingyan turned and walked out of the bedroom with a clear and elegant voice, calm and calm: "Open the door and let them in, I want to take a shower!"

Xia Yiqing bit her lip and stared at his back, the beautiful image of an exile in her heart collapsed, replaced by... nothing!It's just a pretentious bamboo pole!
