Chapter 59 Rewards
Thinking back to Zheng Lanti's marriage to the second youngest of the Liu family, who was looking at the foolish eyes, and Fang Baochan's playboy son-in-law with a pair of hanging peach blossom eyes, a handsome, flirtatious and frivolous talk, Yiqing couldn't help sighing secretly: Rongpinghou's mansion is also regarded as a place in Beijing. A dignified and honorable family, but the girls of the Zheng family, including the niece, seem to be married unsatisfactorily. Is this the fate of the daughters of the family?

It is really difficult to explain clearly that destiny is said to be passed down from generation to generation.

Some people say that being a daughter is the easiest way to repeat the mother's old ways. If the mother is not doing well, most daughters will not be happy.For example, Pang Ruxue, her mother passed away when she was just born, and she lived cautiously in the shadow of her stepmother. In the end, she married far away and lived a good life for two or three years. Her husband betrayed her and lived with his concubine. Struggling alone in poverty and illness for more than ten years!
And Pang Ruxue's fate seems to have vaguely reincarnated on Xia Yiqing who is the eldest daughter!
If there is no such agreement, what is waiting for Xia Yiqing is that Wang Yaozhen will take off her filial piety soon and be carried into the marquis mansion by Zheng Jingyan to become a noble concubine. Even if it is not possible, Xia Yiqing will be imprisoned in a cold and remote courtyard like Pang Ruxue many years ago, and spend her whole life alone!
Xia Yiqing shook her head in self-pity and self-pity: It's okay, I can finally look at things calmly, I shouldn't mess with things, and never touch them, otherwise not only will it be difficult to clean up, but I'm afraid it will cost my life!As everyone knows, the heart of the most poisonous woman, if a woman becomes ruthless, she will be chased and killed!

Just look at Xia Xiuping's concubine, Huang Shi, the cheap father. Not only does he want to be the main wife, but he also wants to take the child in Pang Ruxue's belly as his own!
After the twentieth of the first lunar month, the last trace of the New Year’s festival has gradually faded away. People are looking forward to the arrival of spring. Mrs. Zheng hasn’t said anything yet. The aunt and wife are already busy making spring shirts for everyone. The old lady laughed Then he said, let's make it tailor-made. When the clothes are ready and the weather is warm, it's just right to wear them.

The old lady had spoken, and the matter of making spring clothes in the Hou's mansion would naturally be taken care of by the aunt.

Soon, someone went to the account room to withdraw the money, but was told that the young lady had made a new rule, no matter who it was, the money had to go through the young lady's place, and the old woman who was in charge of the affairs was not happy, and went to the account with a bitter face. Come from Yuhuiyuan.

Except for those who have followed since they were young, most of the women and maids who are ordered by the aunts are the old ladies of Anhetang. They come out of Anhetang. It gave way, not to mention the servants, who were able to do everything smoothly and easily, but Meng Ding was hindered when he came back after the New Year, so he was very unhappy.

Mama Chi lured Mama Ren, who was next to the eldest aunt, into the room. Zheng Jingyan and Yiqing were having breakfast. Mama Ren explained the reason, and Yiqing didn't talk too much. She asked the amount of money to be withdrawn, and said with a smile:

"Mother Ren came to the wrong place, 500 taels, I can't make the decision, please go to my wife to answer!"

The mother Ren was a deadbeat, and said: "Oh, young lady, in the past, my aunt and wife took care of these things. If you want money, you have to go to the tent to get it, but now you have to run back and forth... My old man The old man with old arms and legs is about to fall apart after walking for a long time. Look, can you just give me a word and ask the accountant to put the money? The left and right numbers are here, and the old lady knows it too!"

Hearing Mama Ren's words, Zheng Jingyan's face became slightly condensed, and he paused for a while with his hands holding the chopsticks. He finally cared about eating his breakfast. Men don't care about the inner house. Married out in Hou's mansion, I heard that he once served his father, so he can be regarded as an old man of seniority, he is too lazy to talk, and just wants to see how Yiqing will deal with it.

Yiqing didn't have any special reaction, the smile on her face didn't fade, and she said softly: "Accordingly, I don't want to let Mama Ren go a few more times, after all, the Hou Mansion is really big, no matter how beautiful the scenery in the courtyard is, I get tired of watching too much, and I feel more and more tired when I walk. Mother Ren is an elderly person, and she should be sitting in the house to enjoy the happiness. It is fine for young people to do errands. Why do you bother to come out, old man? But I don’t know what the matter of this money used to be like, but now the old lady and wife have clearly told me: We have to sign a note from the top to withdraw the money in our house! All I can sign is 100 taels, if it’s more than 100 taels, you have to find your wife! I’m sorry, there are no rules and rules, and there are rules in every family. Even at the age of my mother, I should understand this truth, even in Fang’s house, I can’t You can get the money just by talking about it, right? That’s why I said just now that Mama Ren went to the wrong place, if she went straight to the wife or the old lady, there would be no need to make this trip in vain!”

Xu's mother Xu was really tired from walking, and she stood for a long time, her breathing was a little short, and she hissed like a bellows. After hearing Yiqing's words, she opened her mouth to say something, but was caught by Chi Mom pulled her sleeves, looked at Yiqing who was eating breakfast slowly, and finally stopped making a sound, and followed Chi's mother to salute and leave.

After Ren's mother left, Zheng Jingyan looked up at Yiqing and said, "Ren's mother said just now that the old lady knew the amount, and she obviously came from Anhetang, so you're going to drive her back now, aren't you treating her like a ball?" ?”

Yiqing said: "Otherwise, what should I do? Ask the accountant to give her 500 taels of silver? Do I have that right?"

Zheng Jingyan put down his chopsticks: "Our family is small. Before you came, the income and expenditure in the mansion were always chaotic. You have to slowly establish the rules. This is the right idea. Otherwise, there will be gold and silver mountains, and one day you will get into trouble." Cheng Kong! You were the one who came up with the rules. The old lady and the wife like you, and they let you do it when they feel happy. Now you don’t come forward to deal with something, but you push it back to the wife, which makes the wife embarrassed! You also know that my wife is kind-hearted and soft-hearted, and she is only willing to be friendly with others all her life, never embarrassing her aunt. When the matter is brought back to Anhetang, after my aunt said a few words in front of the old lady, I am afraid that this newly established rule will be used again. No more!"

"Then I have nothing to do. This is your family's business. I only live in this mansion for a few days and have nothing to do. If you want to be serious, what is my identity and what is my position?"

Yiqing said seriously: "However, you can take this opportunity to stick to this rule. After all, your newly married young lady will also be a housekeeper when she comes. You first clear the obstacles for her and pave the way, so she won't have to worry about it." With so many hearts, you won't offend people once you marry in!"

Zheng Jingyan pursed his thin lips, looked into Yiqing's mottled and charming eyes, and said coldly: "Now in this mansion, only you can confront the eldest aunt, and you will not be guilty of offending her at all. Sad! Tell me, how can you take care of things?"

Yiqing giggled: "Master Hou, this is a difficult task! Even if you want to take care of that person, you can't push me to the front as a shield, right? Children are the darlings of their parents, and the aunt is the eldest daughter of the old lady." , in the eyes of the old lady, the eldest daughter is much more precious than the granddaughter-in-law. You are not willing to easily offend the eldest aunt, how dare I? I don’t just stay for three or five days and leave, I have to stay in this mansion for a year Half a year, right? If it's too stiff, how can I face my aunt for so long?"

Zheng Jingyan said expressionlessly: "Stop talking nonsense, conditions!"

Yiqing picked up the handkerchief and pressed it on her lips, cleared her throat on purpose, and said, "Since you insist on this, I have no choice but to do it! As for the condition, I can't think of it for a while. As the saying goes, good steel should be placed in the On the blade, then remember it for now, when I want to use it, Hou Ye remembers to cash it in as soon as possible!"

"According to your!"

Facts have proved that Zheng Jingyan is right, there must be a brave man under a heavy reward, Xia Yiqing lived up to the high expectations, with a three-inch tongue and the spirit of a newborn calf not afraid of tigers, as well as the ability to stalk and act coquettishly, it is rare to be soft Mrs. Zheng also helped to say a few words, and insisted on overcoming the eldest aunt Fang Zheng in front of the old lady. The new rules established by the Hou Mansion during the Chinese New Year are still effective and have not been abolished.

Zheng Jingyan is very satisfied, how can he not see all kinds of disadvantages in this family?But he also knew that he was not suitable to come forward to rectify the affairs of the inner house. Since Xia Yiqing could, of course he should make full use of it!

The conditions were not fulfilled. As a temporary reward, Zheng Jingyan gave Xia Yiqing another flat box one night. Seeing her carrying the box into the inner room and hanging down the embroidered curtain and not coming out again quietly, he secretly laughed inwardly: Don’t say any conditions in the future. Just give her the banknote and keep it!
