Chapter 98: Jishengtang
As soon as Tang Yuxiang walked into the inner room, she sat down on the bed. If she was just surprised and a little unbelievable before, then when she really realized that her cheap husband-in-law wanted to take a wife and concubines again, she felt sad in her heart.
Inexplicably feeling congested and feeling out of breath, she turned around and saw two little maids following closely. She frowned and wanted to wave them away so that she could be alone.
Zhiqiu saw that her master's face was a little sad, and thought that his master was shocked by Lin Zhou's incident. He took two steps forward and asked with concern: "Second Grandma, are you okay?"
Zhidong took two steps forward and touched his master's forehead. He felt relieved when he saw that there was no fever.
Feeling the sincere care for her from the two little maids, Tang Yuxiang was afraid that they would be too worried, so she replied: "It's okay. I'm fine. I just feel a little tight in my chest. I'll be fine in a while."
"Second Grandma, the old lady quietly asked the Second Master to marry Grandma Fang as his equal wife. You feel uncomfortable after knowing this. The slaves can understand, but you must not let it happen because of this."
, so I got into trouble with the second master." Zhiqiu knew that his master was very willful, and once he became stubborn, he would definitely take his anger out on the second master, but now he had to add an equal wife in the backyard who had the same status as his master.
We can no longer be as unreasonable as before.
Otherwise, if I attract the disapproval of the second master, the second master’s backyard may be replaced by a mistress.
It doesn't matter if the second mistress is the head wife. Once the second master, who is the head of the family, no longer loves you, you will be nothing. The three masters and servants will be like when they first entered the house, and even the servants would dare to look down on you.
Zhidong's thoughts were basically the same as Zhiqiu's, and he nodded in agreement.
Speaking of Lin Jingzhi, Tang Yuxiang's heart suddenly burst into flames. No wonder this cheap husband left in such a hurry after dinner last night. Moreover, when he came back, he took off his clothes and pretended to sleep before she came in. It turned out to be a guilty conscience.
Yeah, he had known for a long time that Mrs. Lin was going to marry Mrs. Lin Zhou to him as his equal wife. "Huh, it's none of my business who he marries. I won't intentionally get into trouble with him."
Seeing the mistress pouting at Lao Gao, who was obviously really angry, Zhiqiu became anxious and said, "Second Grandma, just listen to my slave's advice. It's not the same as before. When Grandma Fang comes in, there will be more people in the backyard."
An equal wife with the same status as you, she is the equal wife of the second master. The children, like the children you gave birth to, are direct descendants, so you really can't be as willful as before now, otherwise even if the second master is still
I dote on you, but if Second Master thinks you have a bad temper and often sleeps in Grandma Fang’s yard, if Grandma Fang becomes pregnant with Second Master’s child first, it will be very bad.”
After Zhiqiu finished speaking, he stamped his little feet repeatedly, he was really anxious.
Whoever loves to give birth will give birth!
Although Tang Yuxiang knew that Zhiqiu was thinking about her, she only wanted to escape from the Lin Mansion and did not want to be the second wife of the Lin family, so she just replied angrily in her heart.
Seeing that her master was silent, Zhidong had a look of disapproval on her face, and her two light eyebrows knitted tightly into a ball. The master was a very independent person. Once he decided on something, even eight cows could not stop him.
Come back, what should I do?
The current situation in the government is really no better than before!
Mother is more valuable than her son. This is a common rule in all wealthy mansions. If a boy and a girl can be born earlier, the mother's position in the house will be more stable, especially the second grandmother. She is the head wife. If she can give birth to a legitimate son, she will be more valuable.
The eldest son, when the old lady disappears from the Lin Mansion, this backyard will definitely be her world.
But although Zhidong understood, he couldn't make his master listen.
Seeing that the two little maids were still trying to persuade her, Tang Yuxiang felt annoyed, so she quickly changed the subject and said to Zhidong: "Tomorrow, you go out of the house again, go to our small pharmacy, and ask Zheng Zheng
Sir, look at what is missing in the drug store, then write it down on paper, and calculate how much money it will cost. When everything is ready, our drug store can reopen."
At this time, Zhidong had no time to think about the drug store, but her master gave the order, so she could only nod helplessly, and then she seemed to have thought of something, and asked: "Second Grandma, if the drug store reopens, what should we do?"
What name would be good? At that time, we would also need to make a big plaque, put a few large gilded characters on it, and hang it above the door."
When Tang Yuxiang heard that she was going to choose a name, she first patted her forehead and secretly blamed herself for being too careless for forgetting such a big thing. Then she immediately became interested and asked happily: "Zhidong
Ah, thank you for reminding me, otherwise I would have forgotten this matter, but you two should also think about it and see what name it should be."
"How about calling Lin's Pharmacy." Zhiqiu suggested.
After hearing this, Tang Yuxiang rolled her eyes and shook her head to reject it. She did not want her pharmacy to have anything to do with the Lin family. In Luo City, as long as the Lin family did not decline, the word "Lin" could not be used by just anyone.
Seeing that his master disagreed, Zhidong said, "How about calling it Tang's Pharmacy?"
"That's not good either!" Tang Yuxiang shook her head again. These two little girls were either named after their husbands' surnames or after their own surnames. They were really unskilled. It seemed that this arduous task had to be done by themselves.
To finish, she frowned and thought for a long time before her eyes widened, she clapped her hands and said, "Jishengtang, let's just call it Jishengtang."
In the Zheng Mansion, the atmosphere has obviously become colder since Zheng Xuemei arrived at the restaurant. Lin Jingzhi just tried his best to put on a false smile, stopped provoking topics, and just chatted lightly with others.
Among them, Zheng Jianqiu was the most active. He praised Lin Jingzhi a lot in front of his sister. However, Zheng Xuemei had never been in contact with Lin Jingzhi before and was very dissatisfied with his talent. So after hearing these compliments, she felt
It's a bit exaggerated and vain, but it also arouses the desire to compete with it.
But every time she tried to test him, Lin Jingzhi refused to answer her question. This made her depressed, and she also doubted whether Lin Jingzhi's talent had been exaggerated by rumors.
When the moon gradually rose and the hour got late, Lin Jingzhi stood up and said goodbye. Zheng Sheng specially took time to accompany his eldest son today. He still had a lot of business to do, so he did not ask him to stay, but asked him to be careful when traveling.
.
Zheng Jianqiu was not willing to let Lin Jingzhi go just like that. After thinking about it, he once again invited him to come to Zheng Mansion as a guest, and the time was set at noon tomorrow.
Lin Jingzhi originally planned to rush back to Luo City the next day after visiting Zheng Mansion. He really had something urgent to do, because the locust plague was about to break out, and he had to make an appointment with Zhang Jia in advance to go to the wasteland to inspect it.
Please arrange the preliminary preparations for reclaiming wasteland and digging canals.
Also, in his opinion, there are still some unsatisfactory aspects of those drawings, which must be revised in advance.
He calculated secretly that if he rode on horseback when he returned home, he could reach Luo City before dark. He nodded and agreed to enter the Zheng Mansion one more time so that Tian Ji could see the relationship between the Lin family and the Zheng family.
, how good is it?
The more scruples Tian Ji has in his heart, the better it will be for the Lin family to implement their plan step by step.
Zheng Sheng and Zheng Xuemei just sent him out of the restaurant and then stopped, but Zheng Jianqiu insisted on sending him out of the house. Lin Jingzhi really couldn't figure out why Zheng Jianqiu was so polite to him, but he naturally didn't do it if he wanted to.
The reason for forcing people to go back.
The two of them were walking and chatting in the corridor until they were approaching the gate of Zheng Mansion. Suddenly they saw a soldier dressed as a sergeant rushing into the gate of Zheng Mansion. When Zheng Jianqiu saw this, he was about to scold him, but saw that there was still something in his hand.
After holding a black booklet, his face changed slightly, and he forced himself to endure it.
The sergeant recognized Zheng Jianqiu, and he quickly knelt down on one knee and gasped: "I have seen the eldest young master before."
"Get up." Zheng Jianqiu saw the anxious look on the sergeant in front of him, as if he had something important to report to his father, so he gave him a hand and said: "My father should be in the study at this time. If anything happens, you can go directly there.
The study will be ready."
Seeing that there was a young young master beside Zheng Jianqiu, the sergeant secretly covered the fold in his hand. Hearing Zheng Jianqiu's instructions, he hurriedly responded and ran towards the Zheng family's study.
After the sergeant broke into the Zheng Mansion, Lin Jingzhi saw the black zipper with sharp eyes. He had heard people say before that the black zipper was specially used to convey orders in the army, and the sergeant looked panicked.
, it can only be said that something big has happened.
What just happened?
Lin Jingzhi thought for a moment and thought of the locust plague in the north. News in the army came from the imperial court. It was normal to inform officials in various places of the news a few days in advance. After thinking about it, he secretly clenched his fists. It seemed that he had to
Speed up the pace of action.
Since seeing the sergeant, Zheng Jianqiu no longer had any intention of being polite to Lin Jingzhi. He sent Lin Jingzhi out of the door and hurried straight to the study.
When he arrived at the study, the sergeant had already retreated, leaving only his father sitting at the desk, frowning in deep thought.
Zheng Sheng has always been very assertive. Unless he encounters something difficult or important, he will not show such an expression. Zheng Jianqiu's heart skipped a beat when he saw this, and he secretly had a bad feeling.
"Father, what happened in the army?"
Zheng Sheng did not blame his son for breaking into the study without knocking on the door. He had been cultivating his eldest son with all his heart. As for the other sons, although he also liked them very much, he understood that their mother had already found someone to teach them behind her back.
, which is relatively loose.
Hearing the question, he shook his head slightly and replied: "It's not that something big happened in the army, but something big is going to happen in the four northern continents!"
"Oh?" Feeling that his father's voice was obviously a little heavy, Zheng Jianqiu straightened his face and asked: "Father, what big things are going to happen in the four northern continents?"
Zheng Sheng did not reply, but just handed over the black folding paper in his hand. Logically speaking, most of the folding papers in the army were confidential information, and Zheng Jianqiu and Bai Sheng were not allowed to read them at will, but this was at home, so there were no such taboos.
