Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 56 Worry
Zheng Jingyan quickly went to Qingxinyuan, but a nun at the gate told him that his wife had gone to the old lady's place.

He had no choice but to walk back, wait for Yiqing to come over at the branch of the gallery, and then go to Anhetang together, lest she complain about the wasted trip.

The cousins ​​lived in the Rongping Hou Mansion, and the most complained was that the mansion was too big, and their legs ached from walking every day.

The Rongping Marquis Mansion is indeed not that big. There are so many verandas in it. The purpose is to make it easier for the female relatives to walk regardless of the cold, heat, snow and rain. It is not recommended to sit in a soft sedan chair at all times in the Marquis Mansion. I heard that this is the rule. It was handed down from the ancestors. The Zheng family was originally a noble, and the ancestors were knighted by military merits. Naturally, they have long realized the importance of physical fitness.Only the old lady in the mansion can use soft sedan chairs at any time, and Mrs. Zheng still insists on walking to the old lady's place every day. She walks very slowly, but Zheng Jingyan encourages her to keep walking.

The women are used to being pampered and do not know the benefits of walking. Even if they walk slowly, it is much better than sitting in a sedan chair at all times.

The cousins ​​have lived in the Hou Mansion for many years, and they are used to walking, but Yiqing may not be used to it when she just arrived.

Zheng Jingyan was suddenly stunned by this thought: what happened to me?Are you actually worried that Yiqing is not used to the lifestyle of the Hou Mansion?

Compared to Zheng Jingyan's ambiguity, Yi Qing generously accepted his kindness and expressed her gratitude, and said with a smile:
"Thank you, Lord Marquis, for being considerate and saving me this trip!"

In fact, she doesn't care much, she is not afraid of walking, she has some physical strength, in her hometown in Huzhou, she often leads Leqing to exercise, doing calisthenics, practicing those ten moves to catch and defend against wolf, sweating and stretching Muscles and bones, Pang Ruxue and Liu's mother saw that their sisters practiced very seriously, and asked them curiously where did they learn it?Yiqing casually said that she learned it from Gan Yulian from Jinyun Embroidery Village, and that she didn't make a draft of her lies, and only her own family could easily lie.

Went to Anhetang to say hello to the old lady and the wife. The lady was as peaceful as ever, with a gentle and kind smile. Although the old lady looked happy when she saw them, she seemed to be angry, especially when she pointed at Zheng Jingyan. Seeing him "you, you", he sighed twice, hating iron for being weak.

After spending two cups of tea and some snacks with the elders, the old lady asked Mrs. Zheng if there was anything that the little daughter-in-law should take care of today?Mrs. Zheng looked at Yiqing with a smile and asked:
"Qing'er, those two gifts I asked you to prepare yesterday..."

Yiqing hurriedly replied: "Oh, I was negligent and forgot to report to my mother: Our family will go to two places for wedding banquets on the [-]th and [-]th of the first lunar month. It's Madam Bo's fiftieth birthday in Bo Jiang's house, and the daughter-in-law has prepared a gift list as usual, but mother wants to see it now?"

Mrs. Zheng said: "You don't need to read it! This year, the gifts that our family sends for New Year's Eve are all in your hands. I think it's very appropriate, so there is nothing to worry about! So, you bring a few people, and then go to Banyan Tree Courtyard Go to the attic of the warehouse to check, I remember that there are two light-colored Shu brocades that have been kept for two years, don't let them go bad, take them out!"

When the mother-in-law gave the order, she naturally had to do it quickly. Yiqing immediately got up and saluted the old lady and the wife to leave. She also blessed Zheng Jingyan and said, "I'll go first!"

Zheng Jingyan hummed, knowing that his grandmother and mother deliberately sent Yiqing away. This morning, he just went to Hanjin Hospital and Gansong came to report, saying that Eucommia had been called by the old lady's people. Prepare, even if he doesn't come to greet the old lady today, I'm afraid the old lady will ask someone to come over to greet him.

Let's go to trial, you are not allowed to see Wang Yaozhen during the wedding period, this is the old lady's strict order, because she is a person who wears mourning, and he didn't take it to heart because she is a person who wears mourning, and he is finally discovered now.

When he came out of Pang's Mansion yesterday, he wanted to accompany Yiqing back to the Hou's Mansion first, and he didn't think about going to the Wang's Mansion immediately. After all, she had already placed an order with her, and the old lady would feel sorry if she didn't blame him— —Even if it's just for people to see, Yiqing is serious and meticulous, he is not as free and easy as a big man than a woman!
At that time, Yiqing asked him to visit Yaozhen and give her a chance to go shopping. He left her because he wanted to fulfill her wish, and it was considered as compensation.

But who knew it would be such an unexpected result!

Accident?Another surprise!Ever since meeting Xia Yiqing, Zheng Jingyan felt that there were constant accidents in his life!
Zheng Jingyan admitted his mistake very well, and promised not to see Wang Yaozhen in the near future until her filial piety period expired. Then the old lady let him go with a sigh of relief.

But the old lady's face was still tense, with an uneasy expression, and she was very dissatisfied after hearing Mama Chi's report.

"You said, when they were young, they didn't make any noise at all? Don't they just know how to sleep soundly and didn't do anything?"

Mrs. Zheng couldn't help blushing a little after hearing the old lady's words. She didn't think it was strange. When she and her husband got married...it didn't seem to make much noise.

"Mother, maybe it's because Yan'er is too weak and can't bear it... You should be more restrained in this kind of thing!"

The old lady disagreed: "Yan'er occasionally suffers from colds, headaches, and coughs, but he knows medical skills and can make his own soup to recuperate his body. As he said, his bones are strong! You see, he is still following the princes all over the world." Running around, is it possible that he is still afraid of a woman? I didn’t give him three wives and four concubines, and now I just want him to save up his energy to give birth to his first son... Sigh! This Yaner, this old woman really broke my heart Look at the eldest grandson of the Jin family, doesn’t he look like a skinny monkey? But he was conceived by his wife just three months after they got married, my grandson is much stronger than the eldest of the Jin family, why can’t he?”

Mrs. Zheng raised her head to look at the old lady in horror, and said cautiously: "Mother, Yan'er, he, they haven't been married for a month yet!"

"Of course I know!"

The old lady was still frowning: "That's why I'm in a hurry! Newlywed Yaner, Qing'er is so nice, but he still has that unhurried temperament, don't, don't let him stay in the mountains for too long, Tasted too many herbs again and broke the body?"

Mrs. Zheng couldn't help but worry when she heard her say this: "If Yan'er has any discomfort, he should tell us? After all, it's about the heirs. We only have one seedling in our family. It's really bad. Then What should I do?"

"Bah bah! Amitabha! Good luck!"

Mrs. Zheng's depression made the old lady unwilling again: "My grandson, how could it be impossible? Just wait and see, I'll ask Mama Chi to watch it carefully. Listen carefully. If they dare to be lazy and take advantage of their business, old lady I will go out myself, and I have to ask them to find a little grandson for me!"

At night, after Haishi, Zheng Jingyan returned to the upper room of Yuhui Courtyard.

The maids were all still in the room, and there were two women in charge who reported the matter. Seeing that Lord Hou had returned, they hurriedly bowed and left.

Yiqing came up to say hello with a smile, took the cloak from Zheng Jingyan's hand in person, and asked if he was hungry?Did you have dinner outside and drink?After receiving the answer, she asked Cuixiang to take low-cut cotton shoes and put them on for her grandfather, and asked the little girls to bring hot water to wash her hands and face. Hua Yu quickly made a cup of green tea for Lord Hou to rinse his mouth, and then sent Warm water for drinking.

The two sat opposite each other on the couch, Yiqing flipped through a few books, Zheng Jingyan drank water slowly, subconsciously raised his eyes, and met Yiqing's clear and bright eyes.

Yiqing lifted up the thick account book in her hand for him to read: "My wife asked me to read this, do you know what it is?"

Zheng Jingyan took a glance, and the corners of his lips twitched: Grandmother and mother really liked to trust Xia Yiqing, and not long after entering the door, they let her involve in the treasury of the Hou Mansion.

Xia Yiqing clicked her tongue, shook her head and smiled, "I didn't expect your family to earn so much money every year. It's an eye-opener in this life. One day I'll find a chance to go into the bank to have a look. The gold and silver ingots are piled up into mountains, right?"

Facing her financial obsession, Zheng Jingyan could only sneer speechlessly.

Xia Yiqing said proudly again: "Madam said, from today onwards, I will issue the right cards to collect the expenses of less than one hundred taels of silver in the mansion! I never thought that I would become the God of Wealth now! Tell me, if I cheat on the public to help others, Greedy money, do the wives and the others know?"

Zheng Jingyan swallowed, and replied, "You can try it!"

"Just kidding, a gentleman loves money, get it in a proper way, it's not mine, at most I just look at it, I won't mess around, don't worry!"

Xia Yiqing closed the account book, took out something from the mahogany tree, put it in front of Zheng Jingyan, and said with a smile:
"This is for you, it's finally finished!"

Zheng Jingyan looked at it, and found that it was the "gauntlet" that Yiqing crocheted on her hand whenever she had free time in the past few days, and it was a New Year's gift for him.

The light brown cashmere thread is woven thousands of times. The pattern is similar to the various rugs that the Western Regions paid tribute to the Dahua Dynasty, but it is more delicate and dense than that. Maybe it is really warm and comfortable to wear. Bar?
If Yaozhen knew that he accepted Yiqing's needlework, would it be another heartbreak?
Zheng Jingyan didn't touch the pair of gauntlets, but said, "I'm away from home, and I have cowhide gauntlets when I'm riding a horse. Keep these, so as not to break them."

Yiqing didn't think of anything else, and persuaded: "Although the handguards made of cowhide are strong, they haven't been carefully processed. It's not as good as this one, which is close to the skin and warm. You can wear this, and cover your head with cowhide. Wouldn't it be better?"

Zheng Jingyan said: "No need, you...you can keep it for your father!"

After hearing this, Yiqing came back to the memory, and couldn't help laughing: "Cooperating with me is just being self-indulgent, and insisting on stuffing others?"
I go!If it wasn't for the thousands of taels of silver, sister, I would have to rush to weave to repay the favor?
Don't pull it down, then save it and give it to someone later, Qi Daddy doesn't need her to give it to him, Le Qing's hands and feet are much faster than her, if Qi Qi Daddy performs well, Le Qing will weave it for him.

Yiqing turned her head to look at the girls walking back and forth in the room, getting ready for the master's bath, reached out and picked up the handguard in front of Zheng Jingyan and put it into the armhole, smiled and said: "Since Lord Hou doesn't like this gift , then I will put it away. In the future, if you need me to do something, please don't be polite!"

After Yiqing finished speaking, she stepped off her shoes and walked to the inner room, while ordering: "Is the hot water ready? Fill the big bathtub with water, Huayu and Yunping get ready to change clothes, and take a few more big cotton towels to go in. Lord, it's time to wash your hair tonight, and dry your hair with water..."

Yiqing walked quickly, and a beautiful shadow behind the bead curtain disappeared in a blink of an eye. Zheng Jingyan withdrew his eyes, lowered his eyes, and casually moved the account book on the table to the front to look through the pages.
