Rebirth of the Main Room Manual

Chapter 98
When Zheng Jingyan returned to Rongpinghou's mansion, An Hetang hadn't passed on the dinner yet. Because he brought back the blessings that had been enshrined during the ritual ceremony in the temple, the old lady asked the kitchen to re-steam, insisting on waiting for the grandson to come back and watch him eat some. In order to increase blessings and longevity, the wife also meant the same thing. Yiqing went back to her room to take a shower and change clothes, and then went to Anhetang to share dinner with the family.

Zheng Jingyan met his grandmother and mother and explained the reason for his late return. The old lady Zheng heard that he had gone to Pang Mansion to visit his father-in-law and the two old people who had just arrived by boat, she nodded and smiled, "You did the right thing, as it should be! They are newcomers and they are not familiar with the place of life. If they don’t rely on you as a son-in-law, who else can they rely on? Another day, when they have a rest, let’s invite relatives to the house to have a lively meal together. I will also meet Qing’er’s natal grandmother, look See what the old lady in Jiangnan looks like!"

Yiqing said goodbye to Zheng Jingyan, thanked him for going to visit her natal family who had come all the way for her, then turned to old lady Zheng with a smile and said, "Grandmother, you heard that the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River are beautiful, so you think the old lady in the south of the Yangtze River is also beautiful. Like a flower?"

Mrs. Zheng pointed at her and scolded with a smile: "Stop talking nonsense, I don't want my in-laws to blame me for teaching my granddaughter to be rude!"

Mrs. Zheng said: "Mother, this is my grandson's wife!"

Mrs. Zheng paused, then stretched out her hand and patted Yiqing: "It's all because of this monkey! It confuses me: the daughter-in-law is like a daughter-in-law!"

The grandparents and grandchildren laughed happily. Zheng Jingyan sat in a corner and looked at Yiqing. Under the orange light, his eyes were warm and gentle, like dragonflies or butterflies vibrating in the sun, quietly attached to her shoulders, waiting for people to turn around. And flew away gracefully and calmly.

After laughing for a while, Lin's mother sent Chun Nuan over to pass the word that the food was ready, so Yiqing and Zheng Jingyan helped the old lady and Mrs. Zheng, and went to the dining room.

The four people, plus Fang Zhengshi and Wang Wenhui, sat around a table. There were more than ten or twenty dishes of various meat and vegetable dishes. Yiqing served chicken soup for everyone, and took hot freshly cooked chicken meat from the maid. The steamed buns were lightly placed on the table, but he put a plate of four coarse millet steamed stuffed buns in front of Zheng Jingyan, and said with a smile:
"I'm sorry, Lord Hou, we're all going to eat meat tonight, you should be a vegetarian yourself!"

Mrs. Zheng said with a smile: "Look at this child, he can't speak nicely—Yan'er, this is something that Master Jing Kong brought from the altar after the practice at the White Horse Temple. He specially brought it back for you to eat Son. Rough is a bit rough, think about when children from poor families are hungry and have nothing to eat, they will eat two at least... Eat, although you have had dinner in Pang Mansion, it is a blessing, eat it Good for you and your wife!"

Yiqing glanced at the old lady helplessly: "Ancestor, don't bring such a thing. You are always superstitious and coax your grandson to remember bitterness and sweetness. It is all to satisfy your personal wishes, but why do you have to involve me?" thing?It's a pity that your grandson is not a lecher, otherwise you can have a promotion for those thick corn buns, just change the last sentence to - eat grandson, eat a corn bun and send a granddaughter-in-law!
Guaranteed to work!

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Zheng did not change her words, and her grandson Zheng Jingyan silently wiped out all the steamed buns!

After eating a meal, Yiqing ate meat and gnawed on the chicken bones. When her eyes accidentally glanced over the empty plate in front of Zheng Jingyan, her eyes widened, she looked at him in disbelief, and asked silently: Are you really done eating?
Zheng Jingyan smiled at her and said: It's over, what's the problem?
Mrs. Zheng smiled with satisfaction: "It's really grandma's grandson!"

Mrs. Zheng stroked her son's arm, and smiled at Mrs. Zheng: "During these days, Yan'er has a good appetite, and his complexion is much better! Mother, look, there is flesh growing on this hand!"

"That's it, that's it! I saw it, and my face became rounder!"

The two women appraised their precious children and grandchildren lovingly, touching and pinching Zheng Jingyan, wishing that one meal would turn him into a fat man.

Yiqing stood by and watched, Zheng Jingyan pursed his thin lips, squinted his eyes and stared at her coldly, because the ambiguous smile on her face made him very uncomfortable.

In fact, Yiqing just wanted to express a meaning: Well, this is the inheritance of the Chinese people, no matter what dynasty or generation, every family has an emperor!
Because everyone was tired today, they only sat down for a while after dinner, and Mrs. Zheng sent everyone back to their rooms to rest.

Mrs. Fang Zheng was accompanied by Wang Wenhui, insisting that the young couple should not send her off. Zheng Jingyan and Yiqing only escorted Mrs. Zheng back to the Qingxinyuan, and then sent the servants away just like last night. The two of them talked while bathing in the moonlight. Back to Yuhui courtyard.

As soon as Yiqing asked, she asked who did her father bring to Beijing?

Zheng Jingyan secretly smiled: Other women always show their most cultivated and best side in front of men, why Xia Yiqing, this strange flower, does the opposite, the closer she gets to understand her, all she sees is her shortcomings!

Can this impatience be changed?

He purposely said in a slow manner: "Shouldn't you ask your grandfather and grandmother first? They are all old people, and they have come to see you from thousands of miles away. Are you afraid that they will not be able to bear it?"

Yiqing pursed her lips: "Who wants to see whom? They were all over the south of the Yangtze River, and now they come to the capital to see me? I don't believe it! He doesn't want to come, and I didn't ask them to come!"

Zheng Jingyan had heard too many shocking remarks from her, so he was no longer surprised by her outrageous words, so he just stared at her and said, "You can talk nonsense as you like in the room, and it's the same outside. You are so unfilial, how are you going to break it down?"

Yiqing looked around: "Isn't there no one? In our house, it's just you and me. God knows, the moon can't talk!"

Zheng Jingyan had no choice but to tell Xia Yiqing everything about his father-in-law Xia Xiuping's coming to Beijing.

Yiqing said angrily, "This Xia Xiuping..."

Zheng Jingyan interrupted her: "Don't be rude, he is your father!"

"My father!"

Yiqing took a deep breath: "I don't even know how my father's heart grows! He wants to be reunited with his wife and children, but he dares to bring that vicious concubine with him! Do you really think that our mother and daughter are clay figurines, and want to make him Are we sick to death? He is dreaming! When I go back tomorrow, I don’t need to say much, I’ll beat them all out of the street!”

She turned her face to discuss with Zheng Jingyan: "Can you lend me some of your tall and burly guards?"

Zheng Jingyan remained expressionless: "No borrowing!"

Yiqing walked away with a flick of her sleeves: "Forget it!"

Zheng Jingyan stretched out his hand to grab her: "Xia Yiqing! As Mrs. Rong Pinghou, you must not do such a brutal act!"

Yiqing paused for a moment before she came to her senses: "Okay, it won't affect the image of your Marquis Mansion! Then I'm your man now, shouldn't you settle him for me?"

It was the first time Zheng Jingyan heard the word "settling" and could understand what she meant literally. He couldn't laugh or cry: "Why do you want to settle him? I don't think there is anything wrong with your father. He has been in the lower-level official circles all year round, trying to win the upper hand." It is not a big mistake to devote all your energy to managing up and down, and drilling left and right, so that you may ignore your family. This is not a big mistake. He told me many interesting things about your childhood. When your mother was pregnant with Leqing, He took care of you and often took you to study until midnight, and you developed the habit of refusing to fall asleep at night. At the age of two, he taught you to recite poems and write your own name... If a father does not love his daughter, how can he be so patient and meticulous ? Yiqing, have you misunderstood him? What can’t be broken in this world is the bond of flesh and blood. Don’t do things you regret, and look for troubles and never have peace for a lifetime!”

Yiqing sneered: "That's what my father told you? How shameless! Did he tell you: How did I live after I was three years old? Cleaning the courtyard when I was four, collecting firewood when I was five, and helping Mama Liu to watch Huo made medicinal soup for her mother. At the age of six and seven, she dragged her younger sister out of the street into a medicine hall to buy medicine for her mother. At the age of nine, her younger sister was seven years old. I went to the embroidery village to pick up embroidery products and earn money for painting New Year pictures in the bookstore. I still remember that winter, our South Courtyard waited and waited to celebrate a truly prosperous New Year. My sister and I put on new clothes and stood in front of the When she was in front of my mother, my mother cried so hard that her heart was broken. She never blamed her father, but said that she herself caused her daughter... Where was my father at that time? If he just forgot about us because of his official career, I can forgive him, But he is marrying a new man and forgetting the old man! The Huang family, relying on her father Huang Zhizhou's power, wants to occupy the position of my mother's first wife, and wants to snatch Xia Yiming from my mother's belly to be her son. My snobbish and mean grandmother and aunt drove our mother and daughter to live in a backyard, and even married me to another county... If I hadn't persuaded my mother to run away, I would have died in some wilderness by now! Such a father, do you think he is patient, meticulous and caring?"

The moon was bright and bright, but Zheng Jingyan's face seemed to be cast with a dark shadow, and the darkness was like a cloud that was about to rain: "Is what you said true?"

"No lie!"

"Then this matter can't be taken lightly! That Huang family has to be dealt with!"

Yiqing said: "Of course! After such vicious incidents, if my father is still allowed to keep that concubine by my mother's side, am I still human?! I will take leave with my wife tomorrow, so I have to go home! You today Now that you have met my family, there is no need to go again!"

Zheng Jingyan said: "If you were to handle this matter, and if you act in such a violent manner, the matter would definitely cause a commotion and seriously injure everyone. Don't worry about anything else. If it affects your mother-in-law, can you bear it? Besides, although the father-in-law is not good, After all, he is your biological father. When you grow up and get married, you can no longer rely on him. What about Yueqing and Yiming? And your mother-in-law... Don't forget, you yourself have thought about detaining your father-in-law no matter what. In the capital, he will be with his mother-in-law for the rest of his life! If you go too far, their broken mirror will never be reunited!"

Yiqing lowered her eyes slowly, sniffed her nose for a while, and murmured: "It's not fair! I just can't figure out why a person like my father, who broke my mother's heart, can still get her Give everything, never give up, life and death promise!"
