Jingxingyuan.
The inner courtyard of the Zheng family belongs to the courtyard where the lord Zheng Xuancheng and his wife Yao Jingxin live. It is also one of the most luxurious and high-standard courtyards in the entire inner courtyard of the Zheng family except Baolu Hall.
Jingxingzhe, one refers to noble virtue; the other refers to the great road.
From this, we can also see Zheng Xuancheng's great ambition. Compared with being limited by various common affairs, he preferred to explore the secrets and wonders and explore the avenue.
Of course, for Mrs. Yao Jingxin Yao, words such as Jing Xing, Hong Hu, Qing Yun, and Ling Yunzhi are not her favorite.
Her residence is either called "Shi'an Xiaozhu", or "Delu Pavilion", "Mengyu Tower" or something like that.
The core reason why everyone in the world knows her name is because she is not only a daughter of the Yao family, but also a practitioner. Her cultivation level is quite high, and she has almost stepped into Zhuzhao with one foot.
When he was young, he even became famous!
It's the day.
Yao Jingxin still teaches martial arts to her eldest daughter Zheng Yingru as always. Although she only teaches martial arts, she is still very strict.
Occasionally, when his daughter makes mistakes, Yao Jingxin is not soft-hearted at all. He corrects and punishes when necessary, which makes his eldest daughter, who has not yet reached the age of hair, full of grievances and depression.
After her schoolwork was finished, Yao Jingxin asked her maid Shiyun to prepare meals.
Shiyun didn't think it was anything at first, but after the lady told a few of the Lord's favorite dishes, Shiyun's eyes suddenly lit up.
Shiyun said with a smile, "Congratulations, madam, congratulations, madam. I will go and prepare now."
Yao Jingxin looked a little lazy as usual and said, "What's there to congratulate? If he doesn't come back, I won't be alive?"
Shiyun lowered his head and said nothing, while several maids next to him also pursed their lips and snickered.
Yao Jingxin: "By the way, prepare a few more dishes today... Prepare some of various dishes, and also prepare some dishes from Linchuan County. Shibai, Ru'er, and Yuan'er like the dishes. Also be more prepared.”
"yes."
If "Linchuan County" had been mentioned a few months ago, no one in the yard would have known which remote country it was, but now when it is mentioned, almost everyone knows it.
There is no other reason, because the master's direct disciple comes from Linchuan County.
Seeing Madam's instructions, everyone immediately understood that this was the arrival of the legendary direct disciple!
Everyone in Jingxingyuan shuddered at the thought of this.
There was no other reason. As soon as the master accepted this Yu as his disciple, Mrs. Yao immediately rectified the entire Zheng family tradition.
This was unimaginable before!
Who could have imagined that Mrs. Yao, who usually looks quite lazy and often prides herself as "a person who has nothing to do in the world", could have such powerful tactics?
Whenever any servants found to be using the prestige of the Zheng family to oppress the village and run rampant in lawlessness, they will be liquidated immediately.
The process was a combination of kindness and power, and the big ones were caught and the small ones were caught, just like the stewards who wanted to take bribes and take bribes. They did not need to recover the stolen money, but they were ordered to return the money they had withheld to the slaves who had been deprived of it.
For a time, the entire Zheng family management hierarchy was in turmoil, but it seemed that they had been at the bottom of the hierarchy being squeezed and exploited. While they were frightened, they were grateful to Mrs. Yao at the same time.
As for those slaves who had caused extremely bad effects, Mrs. Yao directly used thunderous means, either selling them, killing them with sticks, or punishing them. In a short period of time, the entire Zheng family had completed a self-correction and self-examination.
The atmosphere is peaceful!
Like the kind of unscrupulous slave who sacrifices his public life and enriches his personal life, Mrs. Yao directly used this "strict-da" to cut out these abscesses with a sharp knife.
As for those stewards who had made mistakes, but the mistakes were not of principle, Mrs. Yao graciously gave them a chance to redeem themselves and make meritorious deeds.
For a moment, each of these erring stewards seemed to be forgiven, and they were grateful to the mistress for her compassion.
Yu Youquan had no idea that before he entered the Zheng family, Mrs. Yao used his name to carry out a "family tradition rectification campaign" with an iron fist.
And it will inevitably damage the interests of some vested interests... The fact that some elders have such strong opinions on him has something to do with this matter...
All gone!
The eldest lady Zheng Yingru, who had just finished practicing martial arts, couldn't help feeling depressed after hearing her mother's words, and walked out of her mother's small courtyard depressed.
A mountain boy from a remote rural area is not only able to practice, but his talent is so good that he even won the favor of his father. However, with her background, she is unable to open the door of heaven... How unfair is the sky?
When she thought about having to obey the clan's arrangement and marry someone else's wife in two years' time, she inevitably felt an unprecedented sense of unwillingness.
Seeing his eldest daughter leaving sadly, Yao Jing couldn't help but feel helpless and distressed.
Cultivation is a gift from God to all living beings. People in the world have absolutely no control over who gives it or how much it gives.
No matter how high her status is, there is nothing she can do about this.
If the eldest daughter was born in an ordinary family and had never seen the outside world since she was a child, her life might be very different from what it is now, right?
In fact, it's not just the Zheng family, almost all cultivating forces have similar problems.
The children are of noble birth and have been used to the prosperity and freedom of the outside world since they were young. Suddenly, they are forced to leave the outside world and sink completely in the world of mortals. The gap in this gap will inevitably cause them great pain.
This gap even exceeds the difference between concubines and concubines!
And this is one of the reasons why many practitioners are willing to continue exploring martial arts... Who doesn't have a few children who have no cultivation level?
Some aristocratic families are very strict and will immediately let them leave the inner courtyard as long as their cultivation talent is not detected.
Some aristocratic families are relatively lenient, which also gives them an opportunity to live peacefully outside the world until adulthood, and then gradually let them take over the family's various industries.
The benefits of this are very obvious. Mortals who have seen the outside world have a much better understanding of this world than the average person.
They will also be more measured in what they do, and will not be blindly confident and put the family into a direct confrontation with practitioners.
After all, the world's industry and the training of warriors are also important parts of the family's heritage.
If these children outside the world have offspring, and if the offspring have the talent for cultivation, everyone will be even more happy.
Of course, legal principles are nothing more than human relationships. The rules are that dead people are alive, and there will always be various changes.
for example.
marriage.
If they are daughters, they will be married to them in exchange for the right of these women to continue living in the inner courtyard.
As for the most extreme, they may even be directly downgraded and asked to serve as servants and stewards for the elites of the family, in exchange for the possibility of them continuing to practice outside the world, and even advance to a higher level in martial arts.
Of course, this approach is too disrespectful of human ethics and can easily arouse hatred among family members. Very few families adopt this approach.
As for Zheng Yingru, the solution given by Yao Jingxin was to marry outside the family and become the mistress to a younger brother from another aristocratic family.
This seems very good to Yao Jingxin!
After all, a common woman has a husband who is a cultivator, and the woman is also supported by a big family. Over time, there will inevitably be a dislocation in status.
For example, a daughter from an aristocratic family may think that her husband has gained a position through her, and she will inevitably despise her husband.
The strong self-esteem of a cultivator's husband may be suppressed when his cultivation is weak. As his cultivation improves and his status increases, he may become intolerable to his first wife.
And sooner or later this will become the source of tragedy, she has seen too many.
Marriage is just an exchange of value, and after all, it must be a good match, but my daughter seems a little unhappy.
This made Yao Jingxin, who had always prided herself as "a person with no worries in the world," inevitably a little anxious. This was also the key reason why she had never been able to completely take the step of Zhuzhao.
She is named "Mirror Heart", and her Taoist heart has been clear since she was a child, but now her Taoist heart has become dusty because of her children... What a pity the hearts of parents in the world!
