Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 51
When the carriage turned out of the street, Zheng Jingyan leaned on the seat and closed his eyes to rest his mind. Yiqing turned to look at him several times, wanting to ask a few words. Seeing his peaceful and peaceful appearance, she felt that it was not easy to disturb her, so she swallowed back the words she wanted to say.

But Zheng Jingyan said indifferently: "If you have something to say, just say it."

Yiqing was stunned for a moment: "Aren't you closing your eyes? How do you know I'm looking at you?"

"I know!"

Zheng Jingyan answered briefly, what's so difficult about it?The two people are in such a small space, the wind blows, the sound of the beads colliding with each other, the fragrance of clothes, and the smell. Although these changes are very subtle, as long as they move, they can be felt.

There is another thing that he is not willing to admit: every time Yiqing looks at him, he can feel it.

Yiqing sighed for his "supernatural power", and Leng Ding remembered that on the morning of the second day of their wedding, she thought she was very careful to slow down and quietly walked up to see the handsome man, but he suddenly opened his eyes and stared at her with resentment, Startle her!It turns out that she has supernatural powers, but she dared to get close to her, so she almost used a magnifying glass to appreciate him like a flower. I guess no one can bear it...

Thinking of this, Yiqing couldn't help snickering, but Zheng Jingyan opened her eyes at this moment, taking in all her expressions.

Embarrassed, Yiqing coughed lightly: "Well, just now in the Pang Mansion, my younger sister and younger brother were ignorant and offended me. Please forgive me, Lord Hou!"

Zheng Jingyan hummed, and said, "Your sister, is your name Le Qing?"

"Yes, Xia Leqing, this year... is almost 13 years old!"

"You told her that I don't like tea very much?"

In the west courtyard of Pang Mansion, a girl who was as fresh as a small lotus bud in May stood by the door and called him "brother-in-law". Her sweet and crisp voice was kind and natural, and the bright smile reminded him of Yiqing as soon as he caught his eyes.

He knew that this was Leqing, a bit like Yiqing, but her smile was more sincere than Yiqing's, her eyes were pure and honest, unlike Yiqing's, which seemed clear and sparkling at first sight, but in fact there was a hidden vortex, which made people look at her. If you are not careful, it will be cut in.

When Yueqing offered the tea bowl himself, he lifted the lid of the bowl and saw that it was warm boiled water without half a tea leaf.

He can identify the smell of thousands of herbs, and he also likes the smell of tea, but he doesn't like to drink tea.

Yiqing was very careful, and on the third day of the wedding, she put warm water on him.

Therefore, as a son-in-law, Le Qing offered him a glass of boiled water when he came to the door. He thought it was Yi Qing's gesture, so he didn't think it was strange.

When Yiqing heard Zheng Jingyan's question, she paused for a while and didn't explain much, just nodded with a smile.

Maybe people don't believe it after saying it, but Le Qing first discovered his habit of not drinking tea!

The last time when she returned home, Yue Qing went to see her brother-in-law, and when she came back, she told her sister that her brother-in-law was sitting in the living room chatting with everyone, and the teacup had been changed three times, but he just picked it up to smell and sip the tea, but he didn't know how to drink it!

Back at Hou Mansion, Yiqing tried to bring boiled water to Zheng Jingyan, but he drank it all without saying anything!

Only now did she realize that he had this habit. Thanks to Le Qing's careful observation, she didn't know where that silly girl was hiding to watch her brother-in-law, and she was able to watch it for so long!

Maybe it's because she didn't have a father to love her since she was a child. Leqing has a deep affection for her mother and sister. Her sister is married, is her brother-in-law good, and whether she is worthy of her sister? These are enough for her to worry about for a while, and now Xia Yiming comes out again. To distract her, the little girl is too busy, right?

Thinking of her younger brothers and sisters, Yiqing forgot to ask questions, and the carriage fell silent. Out of the corner of Zheng Jingyan's eyes, she saw Yiqing's quiet and soft smile, thinking that compared to Yaozhen, Yiqing was much happier. Parents, younger sister and younger brother, the family members love her so much, but younger sister Yaozhen has nothing now!
Hearing Eucommia ulmoides outside the car report that he had passed Guizhu Street and turned the intersection to Ningde Street, Zheng Jingyan leaned on his seat and remained silent, but Yiqing gently raised the corner of the curtain to look out. There is a Broadcom Bookstore. She left her hometown last year, and the owner of the bookstore gave her this address, saying that if she needs help with something, she can go to Broadcom Bookstore. The owner is from Huzhou.

Yiqing easily found the big signboard of Broadcom Bookstore. It has three frontages, tall, wide and bright, and there are actually four floors at the top. Then this Broadcom Bookstore can be regarded as a famous big bookstore in the capital, right?
Looking around, Yiqing lowered the curtain of the car, turned her head, and met Zheng Jingyan's eyes.

Zheng Jingyan was a little bored, he leaned on the chair cushion and looked out the window with Yiqing, she turned back so suddenly, as if he had been waiting for her here.

What Yiqing said saved the embarrassment of the two of them: "Master Hou originally wanted to go out to do some business today, right? But he followed me to the Pang Mansion. Obviously, that business couldn't be done. Why don't we go now?"

"How? I'm leaving, let you go home alone? Did you see the old butler following behind? Are you trying to make the old lady blame me?"

"No. You see, it's still early. I also want to go to the bookstore to pick up some books. There is a silver building over there. I want to go for a walk... for an hour, is that okay?"

A one-hour date can talk a lot about love, right?And shopping for an hour is really not enough to see, but it is better than nothing, you know, once you are locked in the deep house of the Hou Mansion, it is too difficult to go out again!
Zheng Jingyan looked at Yiqing, what is this little girl planning?Anyway, it's something she's interested in, right?There seems to be a spring in the eyes, the flowers are blooming like a brocade, and the waves are shining... Would a person like her like to visit bookstores?I really can't see it, maybe the silver houses and embroidery houses over there are her destination!

Zheng Jingyan thought for a moment, then nodded in agreement: "Du Zhong has some banknotes on him, I'll let him hand them over to Hua Yu later, if you like something, go buy it! Just hang out on this street, don't run too far, I will soon return!"

The two got out of the car one after another. Zheng Jingyan accompanied Yiqing into Broadcom Bookstore and looked around casually. Zheng Jingyan said that he wanted to go to the antique shop across the street, but Yiqing didn't want to go, and said that he would go to the jewelry store and silks and satins later. For the shop, Zheng Jingyan showed embarrassment and said that it would be a waste of time, so the two discussed a few words in a dignified manner, and decided to look at their own things, and they will meet again in this bookstore after an hour.

In this way, the husband and wife separated temporarily, the old housekeeper Zheng Ji was worried about the young lady, and led the servants and maidservants to follow Yiqing, while Zheng Jingyan took his long entourage and left.

Seeing that they were far away, Hua Yu came and reported to Yiqing: "Eucommia gave 500 taels of silver notes, saying that this is for the young lady to go shopping!"

Yiqing pursed her lips and smiled, it's quite generous, she gave 500 taels for shopping, Zheng Jingyan and Wang Yaozhen's date is really worth it!
He ordered: "It's finished, and I'll go to Yinlou Embroidery Village for a stroll, and the women and girls who follow each choose two things they like to buy, and the old housekeeper will give each of them a tael of silver... This is Grandpa rewarded it!"

After hearing this, Hua Yu happily went down to spread the word.

Yiqing began to stroll around with peace of mind, and it was unrealistic to take a large group of people wandering among the bookshelves. Yiqing agreed with the old housekeeper to let them sit and rest on the first floor, and she took her close maid Cuixiang and Hua Yu went upstairs, anyway, it was in a shop, so she couldn't lose it. In the cold weather, there were not many customers in the bookstore, so the old housekeeper let her go.

The ancient bookstores are actually not much to shop around, the decoration is simple and simple, and the rows of dense bookshelves are full of thread-bound books with rich ink fragrance. After coming to this dynasty for five or six years, Yiqing can understand the ancient characters with many strokes However, she still doesn't like the vertical script, and the books of this era are really not very readable compared to her. She just walked around the bookstore in a different mood, thinking that before she came to the capital, she Originally, I planned to take the recommended book and make a living by drawing illustrations and New Year pictures in this bookstore as a "gunner", but in the end I took a different path. I can't help but lament the wonderful and unpredictable fate.

When business is sluggish, the shopkeeper won't come over. Yiqing has no chance to meet the fellow, so it's better to visit his bookstore.

Up to the second floor, Yiqing has picked out a dozen or twenty books, all of which are travel notes and gossip. Among them are two simple hand-painted embroidery patterns, which are commonly used by the local people in the capital. I bought them and kept them for reading. Maybe it will be useful, and there are also two books of elegant music scores, and four or five books of poetry and songs of contemporary celebrities. She may not be able to read them, but they are placed on them as a show to show that she also has a little bit of elegance.

The boy at the bookstore said that all the books on the third and fourth floors were calligraphy and paintings, and there were no books, so Yiqing asked the boy to carry the selected books down to check out, and didn’t plan to go upstairs anymore. Appreciating calligraphy and painting takes time, so I’ll come back next time I have a chance. Today, she was finally able to stay on the street for an hour, and she still wanted to go shopping elsewhere.

Surrounded by maidservants and wives, Yiqing left the bookstore and walked towards the carriage parked by the side of the road. At this time, a gorgeously decorated two-horse carriage pulled up, and four or five attendants behind the carriage also rode tall horses, looking at the posture Another wealthy customer, Yiqing looked sideways at the beautiful patterns engraved on the outer wall of the carriage and the exquisite and unique decorations hanging from the four corners, and guessed that the person sitting in this carriage should be a girl.

But she guessed wrong, not only was the person sitting in the car not a girl, but someone she recognized.

Shou Wang Yuan Cong casually looked at the young woman outside the car through the tulle. The red embroidered cloak wrapped her whole body, and a soft snow fox fur scarf around the neckline covered half of her face. She didn't wear a hood, and her head was covered with jewels. , the hairpin ring is bright, obviously I got off the car and went to the bookstore to have fun on the way to relatives. Otherwise, it will be cold again during the New Year's Eve, who wants to go out?This woman is quite elegant.

When the young woman was about to walk to her carriage, she quickly looked sideways at his carriage, and Yuan Cong suddenly froze: This, isn't this the little shoe seller at the market?

Yuan Cong quickly raised the curtain of the carriage, put it down after thinking about it, got up and opened the door and stepped out of the carriage, but the woman had already boarded the carriage in front, and when he looked at the logo on the carriage, his eyes suddenly darkened, and the expression on his face Inexplicably complicated.

He summoned a follower and asked, "Can you see clearly? Is the carriage that just left belonged to the Rongping Marquis Mansion?"

The entourage replied: "It is the carriage of the Rongping Marquis Mansion! I usually deliver letters and items to the Marquis Mansion on behalf of the prince. I have seen this old housekeeper many times. Today, the old housekeeper personally led people out with him. He must have just come out of the bookstore." That one must be Mrs. Rong Pinghou who is newly married!"

Yuan Cong twitched his lips: "How can you be sure that the girl is the newly married Mrs. Rong Pinghou? Have you ever seen a newly married young daughter-in-law wandering alone in the street?"

The attendant didn't understand what he meant, so he was stunned for a moment before replying: "This... Your lord, you didn't pay attention, that is not a girl! Although she is young, she wears a woman's bun! There is an old lady in Rongping Hou's mansion. Ma'am, such a young woman, is she Madam Hou? She is not considered to be wandering alone, she is accompanied by a large group of people!"

"Okay, you know as much as you do!"

Yuan Cong flicked his sleeves, not in the mood to go to the bookstore, turned around and got into the carriage, leaned on the cushion and thought about it more and more, and ordered: "Go to Rongpinghou's mansion!"

He was going to ask Zheng Jingyan: Didn't she say she was just a small business girl?How did she become the granddaughter of Pang's family and the daughter of the Qipin county magistrate?The girl that two people met at the same time, why did Zheng Jingyan marry secretly without letting others know?

It made him go back and forth to the market several times to find her. If he hadn't met her by chance here today, he might not have thought about when!
