Wei Ziqing sat for a while and was about to leave. Before leaving, he held Wei Chengxuan's hand with a heartache, sighed constantly, and finally pursed his lips and said decisively: "No, for Xuan'er, I will go to Guo tomorrow and say, "You must not continue like this!"

Wei Ziqing's maid Dingxiang disagreed, "Madam, if this matter is spread, others must gossip."

Wei Chengxuan's matter is within the scope of management of the Hou Mansion's Hou's house. It is indeed inappropriate for Wei Ziqing, a married girl, to intervene.

Even though he had not gotten married, due to etiquette and law, Wei Ziqing was not good at saying that Guo’s housekeeper was not.

Wei Ziqing bit her lip and said, "Is Guo so arrogant? Isn't it just bullying Xuan'er and Ziyi and there is no one in the mansion? I will let her know that they still have me, my elder sister!

Don't worry, I will grasp the degree of this matter well. I will not break up with her, nor will I interfere in her housekeeper's affairs. I just feel sorry for my younger brother. As the eldest sister, I will care about my younger brother's situation in the Marquis' Mansion."

Dingxiang was still worried, "Madam, why not go find the marquis and let the marquis come forward. Isn't that better?

No matter what the Marquis said, he was also Erlangjun's father. Even if he neglected Erlangjun, his wife would not ignore him if she spoke in person."

Wei Ziqing smiled and said, "If I asked my father to come forward, Guo would feel that I had her face in front of my father, and would only hold a grudge against us siblings.

The entire Hou Mansion is under the control of Guo. My father, a big man, can control him for a long time, but he can't control him for the rest of his life."

Moreover, she didn't know about this, and whether her father knew about it or not.

Wei Ziqing took a naive breath and said, "Don't worry, I have fought with Guo for more than ten years in secret, and I know her more. She cherishes her feathers. No matter what she does in private, it will not affect herself. No one pays more attention to the Marquis' Mansion and her reputation than her.

Like the scale of my wedding and dowry when I got married, it should be very shabby for a marquis' mansion. If people know it, it is a joke. It is inevitable that she, a stepmother, is biased and does not pay attention to the original wife's children.

However, later, I found out that what was rumored outside was that the Yuan family Sanlang was very strong. Although he married the eldest daughter of the Nanping Hou Mansion, he did not receive a penny from the Hou Mansion. He was also deliberately low-key when holding the wedding. In order to fulfill his backbone, the eldest lady of the Hou Mansion specially asked to reduce the dowry by half and marry him in a low-key manner.

I felt strange at the time, but because this had no bad effect on my husband, I didn't think about it carefully. Later, I thought that it must be Guo who ordered someone to spread the word, just to not catch her little tail!"

The once glorious former dynasty was because of the excessive power of the border generals, which eventually led to war and destruction. The founding emperor of the Daxia Dynasty was one of the rebellious generals. Therefore, after he ascended the throne, he was very afraid of military generals and valued culture over military officials.

Although this has improved after the war fifteen years ago, the trend that has spread in society is still "Zhu Zigui in the court, and he is all scholars."

This led to everyone's obsession with the Jinshi who were admitted to the imperial examination. The enrollment every three years became a great opportunity for the powerful and wealthy people in Xiangyang City to pick up their son-in-law, commonly known as "catching son-in-law under the list".

It is not enough to capture them as their son-in-law, and they have to give them a lot of money. To put it nicely, this is the living expenses for them to study in Xiangyang City. In fact, everyone is very clear about it. This is the money for selling themselves. After all, many families who have passed the Jinshi are so poor that they are very poor.

Although everyone thinks this is nothing because of their blind admiration for scholars, they will still give thumbs up when they are surprised by the Jinshi who are not greedy for money.

I can only say that everyone still understands it very much!

Wei Ziqing's husband Yuan Hongjie was the last Jinshi. According to Xin Yi, at that time, Wei Ziqing went out to buy things and happened to be caught by Yuan Hongjie who went to Xiangyang City to take the exam. Yuan Hongjie was shocked at the moment. After passing the exam, he immediately went to the Marquis's mansion to propose marriage. He ran faster than those dignitaries who went to the list to catch their son-in-law.

When Yuan Hongjie proposed marriage, he did say that he would not collect money from the Marquis' Mansion, otherwise Guo would not have responded so readily to this marriage.

In fact, Yuan Hongjie's family was indeed very poor. He couldn't even get a decent betrothal gift when he got married. He had made an oath of "not getting married if he didn't get married" and he was thirty-four when he came to propose marriage. Therefore, after the marriage was settled, many wives in Xiangyang City secretly mocked the marriage.

But people with some knowledge will not think that this marriage is not good. They say that don’t bully the young and poor. Who knows if this guy is a marquis and minister in the future? If he really has a bright future, what’s wrong with being older?

Therefore, the words that Guo asked people to spread were actually stable and appreciated, except for Wei Ziqing's part. This is why Wei Ziqing didn't think deeply at the beginning.

Wei Ziqing continued: "Ziyi... When she married into the Princess's Mansion, Guo must have calculated that she would not attract gossip when she bought a dowry like this, so she would do so.

Besides, no matter how bad my husband is, he still has to think that my husband has entered the Hanlin Academy now. Although he is just a small editor, he is also working next to the official family.

So, look at it, I'll tell her about Xuan'er's affairs. Although she won't admit that it was her command and she will definitely have to pull a scapegoat, Xuan'er's diet should at least return to normal later."

As he said that, he smiled sarcastically, "But it is impossible to get her to do something extra for Xuan'er."

After hearing Wei Ziqing say this, Dingxiang had no choice but to persuade him.

In the end, Wei Ziqing left some money and told Wei Chengxuan's two maids to go out to buy some things for Wei Chengxuan to replenish their bodies when they were free, and then left.

The next day, Wei Ziqing indeed came to the Hou Mansion again. After that, Wei Chengxuan's food finally returned to the regular standards of the Langjun in the mansion, and even the monthly fee of two taels of silver that had been stopped for almost a year was also sent.

Mo Xiaodie saw it and couldn't help but secretly admire it. Only a woman who is as clear-headed as Wei Ziqing and well versed in the rules of the back house can survive in this complicated back house!

After Wei Chengxuan got the money, he immediately ran to Mo Xiaodie's room, patted his chest boldly and said, "Second sister, you can't go out now. What do you want? I'll buy it for you!"

Mo Xiaodie narrowed her eyes, suddenly clenched her right fist and waved her towards him. Wei Chengxuan widened his eyes and avoided the left with a relatively sensitive look.

However, Mo Xiaodie was waiting for him to dodge. At the moment he made the dodge move, he kicked his left leg and stopped suddenly when he was only a few centimeters away from Wei Chengxuan's body.
