Zhihua wiped her tears, got up from the ground and retreated, and the outside chess came to help her, pointing to her knees.

Zhihua shook his head, signaling that he was okay.

Zhen Xuan changed her clothes for Xia Yiqing and left the Tianyi Courtyard together.

This time is just right, there is no need to hurry up, Zhen Xuan saw that Xia Yiqing didn't mention the painting at all, and estimated that he probably didn't know about He Er.

"Second master, did you see the clouds in the afternoon?" Zhen Xuan asked tentatively.

Xia Yiqing didn't understand Zhen Xuan's meaning, glanced at her, and replied, "No." ”

I don't know.

Zhen Xuan moved closer to Xia Yiqing and whispered the matter.

Xia Yiqing frowned after hearing this, and said, "He Er, Yun is in the meeting." The affairs of the inner court, you can watch. ”

What Yun Zai will do with He Er, Zhen Xuan can't judge for a while, but Mother He, she doesn't want to stay in Tianyi Courtyard anymore. Mother He's temperament can't be changed, and sooner or later she will cause trouble.

Zhen Xuan gave Xia Yiqing a quick look, and he kept saying that he would let her watch the maid in the inner courtyard. When she sold Yun Yin to Cai Xi before, Xia Yiqing didn't say anything, but Mother He was a little different after all.

Zhen Xuan was hesitating about how to mention it to Xia Yiqing again, and Xia Yiqing knew what she was concerned about, so she suddenly opened her mouth.

"If you don't stay, you have to talk to your mother."

What Xia Yiqing meant by this was to agree with Zhen Xuan to take He's mother out of the Heavenly First Courtyard, but also reminded her to take care of Zheng's face and ask, but He's mother could only say a few words in front of Zheng. Not entirely decent. Something like this happened. I won't blindly cover it up.

Zhen Xuan knew in her heart, and when she saw that she was about to enter the Wind Garden, she stopped talking about it.

After finishing dinner, Mrs. Zheng smiled and listened to Xia Jingqing tell interesting stories.

Zhen Xuan whispered to Zheng: "Mother, my daughter-in-law has something she wants to ask her mother about. ”

Zheng looked at Zhen Xuan, saw that she was a little cautious on her face, and estimated that it was not good to say it in front of everyone, so he smiled and said, "Yiqing's daughter-in-law will accompany me to the garden for a walk." Gram Gram Gram. ”

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she smiled and said, "It's windy outside, beware of catching a cold." ”

Zhen Xuan helped Zheng out of the main house, walked away a little, Zheng left the maid and wife behind, and then said, "What do you want to say to me?" ”

Zhen Xuan respectfully told He's mother that he couldn't borrow money, and He Er's revenge for robbing the painting.

Zheng's face turned gloomy, and he shouted in a low voice: "Ridiculous! ”

Zhen Xuan didn't respond, the things in Tianyi Courtyard couldn't be hidden from the Zheng family, and the dispute between the painting and He's mother today will reach the Zheng family's ears tomorrow. She said it in advance at this time, and she was respectful. Second, it won't make Zheng feel that she is dragging mud and water.

As for the last time He Er peeked at Tianyi Courtyard outside the corner gate, and the matter of He Ma's mother borrowing money from the courtyard on the day of Laba, there is no need for Zhen Xuan to say, Zheng should also know it in his heart.

Zheng asked Zhen Xuan, "What about the two of them?" What about Mother He? ”

He Er called Yun to watch. Mother He is in her own room. ”

Zheng's fingers holding the handrail of the verandah were slightly forced, took a breath, and said, "Since she doesn't know how to discipline her son, don't do anything else." Don't be soft-hearted when dealing with minions who can't be carried clearly, and you can send them out how you want to go. ”

Zhen Xuan bowed her head and replied: "Daughter-in-law, thank you for your mother's teachings. ”

Zheng patted Zhen Xuan's shoulder, suppressed his anger, and smiled: "You are a smart child, and I have nothing to worry about." ”

Zheng didn't rush to leave, stood under the porch and thought for a while, called Zhen Xuan to him, and said in a low voice: "I've thought about it before and after, it's still not appropriate." ”

Zhen Xuan was stunned, does Zheng mean that she didn't ask her to betray Mother He?

Zheng seemed to see Zhen Xuan's doubts, and said with a smile: "I don't want you to be this wicked person." I will make people spread the word when the cloud is there, just throw it out, don't hurt your life, seeing that the New Year is approaching, you don't have to find us unhappy. As for Mother He, she can't sell it for a few dollars if she calls someone to come here, so she should send it out to take care of her son. Tomorrow, you ask Mother He to come to Zhonghe Hospital, I will make it clear to her, I will keep her son's life, and no matter how presumptuous she is in the future, don't blame our Xia Mansion for being ruthless. ”

Zheng's saying is also reasonable, ordinary people are not willing to get into trouble by taking their lives during the New Year's Festival, let alone big families. Mother He sold it or sent it, Zhen Xuan had no objection and nodded in response.

"The silver money that was lost by the painting, as well as the money borrowed from Mother He in the house and couldn't be recovered, asked someone to report it and made up for them from my private account."

Zhen Xuan remained silent, and her heart turned around and understood.

How much silver can Mother He borrow in total, and it is only twenty or thirty taels in one piece, as long as the Zheng family takes out such a little, it can reassure the hearts of the slaves and receive a reputation for virtue, no matter how you look at it, it is a cheap deal.

When others mentioned the Xia family's room, they all said that Mrs. Zheng was powerful, and under the brilliance of Mrs. Zheng, the Zheng family was not conspicuous. But when Zhenxuan saw her deal with this matter this time, she knew that her mother-in-law was also sharp.

But then again, how can a woman who is in charge of the Xia family's feed be incompetent.

Zhen Xuan smiled and said, "Mother is kind, tomorrow I will draw a few to kowtow to you." ”

Zheng bent the corners of his lips, with a little satisfaction in his eyes, and led Zhen Xuan back to the house.

Zhen Xuan and Xia Yiqing returned to Tianyi Courtyard together.

Xia Yiqing heard Zhen Xuan talk about Zheng's plan, and also agreed: "Mother thinks about it thoroughly. ”

Zhen Xuan sat down by the window and said to Tao Aya: "Go and inform you to play chess and paint, and go kowtow to your mother tomorrow to thank you." ”

Tao Aya went out to spread the word, Xia Yiqing sat down next to Zhen Xuan, looked at her and said, "Why don't you just show your loyalty and tell your mother that you will pay for this silver?" ”

Zhen Xuan glanced at Xia Yiqing and pouted: "How dare I steal the limelight from my mother?" ”

Xia Yiqing raised her eyebrows, her eyes full of smiles: "In this way, it's not stupid." ”

"The second master is making fun of me again." Zhen Xuan's mouth pouted, turned her head to ignore Xia Yiqing, and looked out from the slightly open window, Tao Aya just knocked on the door of the painting and chess room in the West Wing, she rolled her eyes and said to Xia Yiqing with a smile, "Mother Gao said that she wanted to set a table, and I would give them a few taels of silver to add wine and food?" ”

What a good one will plan!

Xia Yiqing couldn't help laughing, reached out and gently pinched Zhen Xuan's cheek: "Do you want me to come out for you?" ”

Zhen Xuan's face turned red, patted Xia Yiqing's hand lightly, and said angrily: "Second master, don't steal the limelight from me." ”

Zheng's work was resolute, and He's mother went to Zhonghe Hospital in the morning, and as soon as she came back, she wiped her tears and packed her things.

The wine table in the night was placed in the flower hall of the Agarwood Courtyard on the edge of Tianyi Courtyard, and the painting was much better, so I called some familiar maids and women who were on errands in the house to eat together.

After a few days, I sacrificed to the god of the stove, and looked at a few pots of plum flower arrangements moved from the garden, and I felt more and more that this year was heavy.

Tao Aya took a few little maids to cut the window flowers, because of the good looks, there are maids in the Caifu courtyard to beg. Zhen Xuan knew about it, so she asked Tao Aya to cut some more and send some everywhere, which was also the same intention.

Xia Huqing liked these very much, and repeatedly said that they were good-looking, and he wanted to learn.

Seeing this, Mrs. Zheng said with a smile: "In this case, I asked Yuzhu to prepare scissors and red paper, and after a while, after dinner, you and your sister-in-law will go to the western room and ask Tao Aya to teach a lesson." ”

Seeing that Mrs. Zheng was happy, Yuzhu said: "Can slaves and maids also learn?" ”

Mrs. Zheng glared at her with a smile, and waved her hand again and again: "Go and go." ”

Yu Zhu covered his mouth and smiled.

After the table was removed, Zhen Xuan accompanied Xia Huqing to the west room, called Tao Aya in, and picked a few happy and uncomplicated teachings.

Old Mrs. Zheng was half-lying on the Luohan bed, with a woolen blanket on her legs, listening to the faint laughter coming from the west, and said, "These young girls are happy to get together." ”

Xia Yiqing took a sip of tea, and seeing that Mrs. Zheng was in a good mood, she said, "I calculated the days before, and I plan to set off after Shangyuan." ”

Old Mrs. Zheng squinted her eyes and thought about it, nodded and said, "The road is difficult to walk, and it will be eighteen or nineteen at the latest, so you must go." This time it should not be as little as three or four months. ”

"My grandson wants to take Qi Niang with me."

When Mrs. Zheng heard this, she opened her eyes and looked at Xia Yiqing, and said nonchalantly: "Bring your daughter-in-law...... Is that what you mean, or is it your daughter-in-law's meaning? ”

Xia Yiqing couldn't distinguish Mrs. Zheng's emotions for a while, and hesitated slightly.

Seeing this, the Zheng family understood, and smiled and made a round: "Yiqing is married after all, and she knows how to protect her daughter-in-law." ”

Mrs. Zheng snorted: "If you want to protect it, you should take care of it, and let us see that we can't get home." ”

Xia Yiqing asked Mrs. Zheng and Zheng to laugh a few words, a little embarrassed, but it was not good to say good things for Zhen Xuan.

Mrs. Zheng waved her hand and said warmly: "After all, it is her sister who gets married, and it is natural for her to want to go." Your daughter-in-law is young, and she is married, and it hurts to do harmless things, you can let it go, and it hurts if it hurts. ”

Xia Yiqing blushed slightly and answered "yes".

Mrs. Zheng didn't say anything anymore, and called the carving fence to beat her feet for her, closing her eyes and recuperating.

Xia Yiqing's gaze fell on the jade wrench on Old Madam Zheng's finger, which was given to Old Madam Zheng by the eldest old lady in the past, but his grandfather died too early, and he had never seen it.

Xia Yiqing knew that Mrs. Zheng remembered the past.

At that time, she was still the young lady of Zheng Ge, who leaned towards the government and the opposition, young and had a family background, needless to say, the pressure of marrying into the imperial merchant family, and she was loved by her husband, and this life was also enjoyable.

Mrs. Zheng found her shadow in Zhen Xuan.

With Zhen Xuan's background, it is inevitable to marry an official eunuch. On the day he returned to the door, Pei Shikui also mentioned that it should have been Zhen Xuan who entered the palace.

It was the Xia family who asked for the emperor's order to marry such a daughter-in-law.

Since you are married, you have to treat each other well, just like Mrs. Zheng said, let it if you can, and hurt if you can.

With Zhen Xuan's beautiful appearance smiling in his mind, Xia Yiqing couldn't help but smile a little, that is, he said that his Xia family was high, and this family business was satisfactory to him. (To be continued......)
