The sky was clear and blue, with only a few floating clouds passing by.
The rising sun casts a layer of golden light on the rows of houses. Spring is a season of growth, and the occasional breeze brings a softness that is not found in winter.
The spring weather is just right outside.
In the main hall of the backyard of Duke Anguo's Mansion, Zheng Yuwei tilted her head slightly, naturally retracted her gaze that she had just cast outside, and raised her eyes to stare at her superiors. Her gentle expression on her face remained unchanged, as she continued to listen carefully to the conversation of the elders in the hall.
She is currently carrying out an important activity every day, greeting her grandmother, so Zheng Yuwei must sit on the high-backed chair dignifiedly and elegantly, maintaining her elegant image as a noble lady of the palace.
Zilai's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are enemies. Her mother, Mrs. An Guogong, does not have a harmonious relationship with her grandmother. Zheng Yuwei's slightly careless words and deeds can easily become the reason why her mother is criticized by her grandmother. Therefore, she must be extra careful every morning. cautious.
This dynasty continues the old dynasty's rules and governs the world with filial piety. Therefore, greetings is still the first important activity in the back house. This extremely long and boring greeting made Zheng Yuwei yearn for the bright spring scenery outside the house.
However, she still had to stay in the house and listen to the elders making excuses.
"In that case, you should pay more attention." Mrs. Han, the boss, looked calm and said with slightly lowered eyes: "I am older, so I don't have to worry too much."
"The daughter-in-law does not dare to disturb the mother. These little things should be taken care of by the daughter-in-law." Yang, the Duke's wife, had a smile on her lips and was gentle. She turned a blind eye to her mother-in-law's displeasure and replied in a very respectful tone.
In the past few days, Mrs. Han has always wanted to make the decision for her daughter's marriage. Ms. Yang only has one son and one daughter, both of whom are her heart's content. The marriage is about her daughter's life. How can she rest assured if she doesn't personally check it.
Fortunately, children's marriages are naturally based on the orders of their parents and the matchmaker. Even if the mother-in-law decides, it cannot be decided without the consent of the couple.
Ms. Yang was resolute and refused to give up an inch of ground, repeatedly letting her mother-in-law get into trouble. Today, Mrs. Han's patience ran out and she finally decided to let go.
Mrs. Han¡¯s face was expressionless, and Yang was laughing and talking to Yan Yan. It seemed quite harmonious, but no one sitting in the hall was stupid. Everyone was silent in unison, trying to reduce their sense of presence.
Mrs. Yang is the mistress of Duke An's mansion, and Mrs. Han is the previous mistress and the mother of Duke An. One of them holds the actual power, and the other naturally has the highest status. Neither of them is easy to get along with, and now they are colliding. When he got up, naturally no one wanted to come forward to highlight his presence.
As the focus of the competition between the two, Zheng Yuwei continued to smile and fully demonstrated the demeanor that a lady should have.
Mrs. Han and Ms. Yang were actually talking about Zheng Yuwei¡¯s marriage. Logically speaking, our lady would hide her face and leave in shame at this time, but the two of them spoke in a cryptic and secretive manner, and she should not be able to understand.
Zheng Yuwei, who should not understand, really couldn't show that she actually understood, so she had to look a little confused like the sisters in the next room in the hall, and continued to sit quietly.
Zheng Yuwei has just turned fourteen this year. A noble girl of her age should have already made a marriage contract. No matter how bad things are, she still likes her. There is a tacit understanding between the two parties, and they only wait to marry into her husband's family later. It's a pity that the situation in recent years has been special. Now that we are getting older and the princes have grown up, the prince cannot subdue his brothers, and the battle for the right to inherit the throne is in full swing.
Fights between gods have always brought disaster to mortals, and the fight at the top naturally brought about cannon fodder that fell to the ground. In the past few years, officials in and out of Beijing, big and small, as well as noble families, have been harvested one after another like cutting leeks.
Under this situation, Zheng Yuwei¡¯s parents were naturally extremely cautious in choosing a son-in-law. The two of them were quite optimistic about one company a few years ago, but unfortunately that company collapsed at the end of last year, and the whole family ended up in exile.
"Don't say that the two families are just interested in each other. Even if the marriage is arranged, it is impossible for An Guogong and his wife to marry their only daughter, so the matter will naturally be settled.
Although Zheng Yuwei is a little older now, this is not a big deal, because there are many noble daughters who have been delayed in the capital. Everyone would rather observe carefully than marry randomly, so as not to miss the daughter and bring trouble to the family.
Therefore, although Yang does not have much time to choose a son-in-law, he can still choose carefully.
"Has the yard been tidied up?"
When Zheng Yuwei was distracted for a moment, Mrs. Han spoke again and asked Yang. She hit a snag with her daughter-in-law and wanted to leave immediately, but then she remembered something else and had to continue saying a few more words.
Mrs. Han¡¯s face was expressionless and she spoke.??Cold or hot. The fact that this daughter-in-law has been able to confront her for many years has little to do with the fact that she holds the power of the back house of Duke An Guo, because she is the mother-in-law and has a natural advantage in terms of status. The key point is actually her son Duke An Guo, who looks like I was fascinated by Yang's soul, and my heart went to Yang's side.
Duke An Guo is not unfilial, but he will support his daughter-in-law whenever Mrs. Han troubles the Yang family.
This is the fundamental reason why Mrs. Han has never been able to like Mrs. Yang. Her daughter-in-law occupies her son, and Duke An Guo has no one else in the house except her. This is how her mother can feel at ease.
"Replying to my mother, my daughter-in-law has already ordered people to put the Yuliyuan behind the Shi'an Hall in a safe place. They can move in as soon as the Zhou family's cousin mother and daughter arrive." Mrs. Yang replied with her eyes still gentle and a smile on her face, and said to Han The old lady's expression turned a blind eye.
She actually didn¡¯t think so. He was just a poor relative of the old lady¡¯s mother¡¯s family. She just happened to be stuck in the courtyard behind the main hall to accompany the old lady, so that her mother-in-law would not be idle and come up with random things.
"Well, that's good. When your cousin and Wen Qian's mother and daughter arrive in the future, you should take more care of them." Mrs. Han nodded and spoke in a gentler tone.
Mrs. Han has been immersed in the back house for most of her life, and she knows everything about it. No matter she is in power or not, no one dares to neglect her at all. This is also the fundamental reason why she lives her old age peacefully and leaves the back house of the Duke's mansion to her daughter-in-law. However, as relatives who have defected to the Zhou family, the mother and daughter of the Zhou family are completely unacceptable. Same thing.
The mother and daughter of the Zhou family are relatives of the mother's family. Mrs. Han really cares about them, so her face looks better after all. After all, Yang doesn't need to be embarrassed. As long as he has a nonchalant attitude, the people below him will take advantage of the situation.
"Please rest assured, mother, my daughter-in-law will not neglect her cousin and her daughter." Naturally, Ms. Yang did everything she could to please her mother-in-law.
Zheng Yuwei, who was sitting aside, couldn't help but frown slightly when she heard this.
The Zhou family¡¯s cousin, Wen Qian, doesn¡¯t she mean Zhou Wenqian? Why does this name sound so familiar?
This name has a sense of familiarity, but Zheng Yuwei can be sure that this is the first time she has heard of this so-called cousin of the Zhou family. While she was a little confused, she felt a strong strange feeling in her heart.
It¡¯s like she overlooked something very important.
Zheng Yuwei is not a quick-thinking person. If she can't think of something, she just puts it aside. Anyway, it's just people and things that are not very relevant. But now because of this strange feeling, she began to think hard.
She sometimes has very keen senses. Zheng Yuwei felt that she must have overlooked something very important, which was about Zhou Wenqian.
But the problem is that the two of them obviously have nothing in common.
Just when Zheng Yuwei was concentrating on her errand, Mrs. Han in the hall got a satisfactory answer. After saying "yes", she waved her hand and said that she was tired, and asked everyone to leave.
Zheng Yuwei gathered her thoughts, stood up together with everyone, excused herself, and filed out of the main hall.
After leaving the Shi'an Hall where Mrs. Han lived, Zheng Yuwei followed Yang somewhat absentmindedly.
"Is Wei'er still in good health?" In front of her children, Mrs. Yang is a very loving mother. Her daughter was in a trance. She immediately noticed it and quickly warned in a gentle voice: "If that's the case, you shouldn't get up early to say hello today. You are weak. Just rest more."
"My daughter is in weak health. She fell ill when the weather suddenly turned cold a few days ago. She only got better yesterday, which made Ms. Yang quite worried.
"Mom, I've been fine for a long time. It's just a little cold. Just drink two doses of medicine and I'll be fine." Zheng Yuwei hugged her mother's arm, shook it a few times, and said softly.
Mrs. Yang loves her, and even if she is more lively, she will not be scolded because she does not follow the etiquette of a lady. Therefore, Zheng Yuwei is very relaxed in front of her mother. She didn't want to be locked in the room again and was not allowed to go out, so she quickly hugged her mother's arm and started acting coquettishly.
"You." Yang pinched Zheng Yuwei's face and shook her head with a smile. It was also her daughter's serious illness five years ago that frightened her, so she was extremely nervous in the future.
Ms. Yang looked at her daughter's face and saw that her face was very rosy. She felt relieved. She smiled and said, "Okay, let's go back."
Zheng Yuwei smiled and nodded. She could only put aside the problems that she had not thought of before and go back with her mother first. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
