Zheng Xian's family is indeed a bit chaotic and out of order.
The main reason is that Zheng Xian himself is not upright. Today's Mrs. Zheng is actually a concubine. Zheng Xian's first wife has been repeatedly targeted by the Zheng family because she never gave birth to a child for Zheng Xian. This is just because the first wife and Zheng Xian once observed filial piety for their elders. , so Zheng Xian could not divorce his wife no matter how dissatisfied she was, and ultimately just reconciled.
"I heard that after the former wife reconciled, she married to Taiyuan Prefecture. Within a few years, she added two fat boys to her new husband's family. Later, her sons also became promising and they all took the imperial examination. Now one is in the capital and the other has returned to Taiyuan to take up a post."
If someone can't have a child for a few years after being married to you, but she can get pregnant immediately after remarrying, what does this mean?
It’s not that other women can’t give birth, but it’s just that you, Zheng Xian, a man like you, don’t have a chance to conceive a child, right?
Mrs. Cheng was really curious: "Isn't this Zheng Xian the nephew of Mr. Zheng Ge? Can he just watch and not stop him?"
"Haha, she married far away and was not in the capital. How could they stop her? Besides, it was Zheng Xian who was at fault back then. He spoiled his concubine and killed his wife. Even if people didn't say anything about him to his face, who didn't say anything about him behind his back? Call him a bastard?"
Mrs. Cheng's lips curled up slightly, and Liu Ruolan dared to scold her.
After all, Xie Xiuwen's position is now comparable to that of Mr. Zheng Ge.
Zheng Xian is just a minister of the Ministry of Etiquette, which is far behind in terms of rank and power.
"Zheng Xian himself is not upright, how upright can he expect his sons to be?"
Mrs. Zheng's reputation in the capital is not very good, but because of Mr. Zheng Ge, everyone seems to have a decent relationship with her. It's hard to say that they are good friends.
The main reason is that anyone who wants to save face does not bother to deal with such a woman, and feels that it would be embarrassing to speak out.
Mrs. Zheng was born in the He family. When she first entered the Zheng family, her family only ran two small shops. Later, she was doted on by Zheng Xian because of her beauty. After having a son, she was naturally doted on by the Zheng family. Then my mother's family also took advantage of it.
Today's He family is no longer what it used to be. The amount of shops and land has increased many times compared to that of the past.
He also knew that she was from a humble background, and even though her mother-in-law's family was now rich, she was still a businessman that was looked down upon, so she was self-aware and would never take the initiative to cling to some talented women and nobles, so as not to be humiliated by others again.
It's just that recently, Zheng Sanlang's affairs in the house have caused an uproar and spread all over the capital, which makes the He family unbearable.
She chose Zheng Sanlang's wife herself, and He was also thinking of getting her daughter-in-law's family to help her a lot, but who knew it would turn out like this?
When Mrs. Zheng was shopping in the incense shop, she naturally heard people making jokes about the Zheng family's affairs, and her face turned pale with anger.
Xun Xiangyuan's business is good, and the three female bosses are naturally the happiest.
When Zheng Tingting learned that Xun Xiangyuan's business was booming, she was naturally quite displeased. She felt that they didn't want her to be in the limelight, so she deliberately acted like this.
Zheng Tingting didn't think that the things in Xunxiang Yuanli were very good. Although she didn't go to see them in person, she asked her mother. Her mother said that the things there were just ordinary things, not worthy of such rich people. ?
What Zheng Tingting didn't know was that the reason why Mrs. Zheng said this was because she heard someone criticizing their family's private affairs in Xunxiangyuan, so she also hated the shop in Xunxiangyuan.
Some people are like this. When something goes wrong, they never know to find the cause within themselves first. Instead, they blame others over and over again.
Wang Ximeng also went to Xun Xiangyuan to see it. She didn't buy anything, but she took the opportunity to walk around upstairs and downstairs. She had to admire this shop.
Whether it's the furnishings, layout, or the contents inside, it's all praiseworthy.
Wang Ximeng may not be able to design such a thing by herself, but she can still feel good taste.
After coming out of here, it seems a little less interesting to go to the beauty salon that I own and Zheng Tingting jointly owns.
It’s not that it’s not good, it’s simply incomparable!
Wang Ximeng and Zheng Tingting didn't have much money on hand, so when they were decorating, they just wanted it to be better than ordinary shops, so they didn't pay attention to these details. Now, when compared like this, it seems that their place is of low quality. A little more.
As the saying goes, whether it's high-end or high-end, the truth lies in the details.
In Xunxiang Yuanli, even an ordinary mung bean cake was made beautifully and delicately. Although some spices were not fully displayed, the bottles and jars looked high-end.
So, there is still a missing meaning.
Wang Ximeng felt a little unhappy, but then she thought about it. There were eight spice shops in the capital instead of ten, but the beauty salon was different. There was only one in the capital now, so that was the only one!
Just for this reason, they are better than Xunxiang Yuan!
Thinking about it this way, Wang Ximeng felt that she could do it again.
What Wang Ximeng didn't know was that the high-end beauty salon she thought would open soon would really open up. By then, their beauty salon would be completely overwhelmed and unable to raise its head.
Zheng Sanlang's failure to cultivate his internal affairs was aroused by others, and naturally someone brought the case to the imperial court.
This kind of thing, to put it nicely, is a private matter and has nothing to do with the court.
But if it's really true, what else can you do if you can't even cure the inner house?
In short, Mr. Zheng Ge was in disgrace because of this incident.
Zheng Xian was scolded a few times by Emperor Jingwen in court, and was so frightened that his back became wet.
After exiting the main hall, Zheng Xian was stopped by his uncle.
"Go back and clean up these messy things! You dare to bring any dirty woman into the house. I think you don't want this black gauze hat!"
"Yes, yes, uncle, please calm down. My nephew will deal with it immediately when he gets back."
Xie Xiuwen and Cheng Jingzhou, who were not far away, looked at each other and said nothing.
The reason why Zheng Sanlang's wife swallowed her anger was simply because she felt that she still had children and the trouble was too much. Is it possible to truly reconcile? She couldn't bear to part with these children, but the Zheng family couldn't let her take the children away, so they didn't dare to make a big fuss.
Now there was no need for her to compromise. After Zheng Xian returned, he immediately sent someone to find Sanlang, and then brought everyone here together with the people in his backyard.
Of course, Mrs. Zheng is also there.
After all, Mrs. Zheng is the most suitable person to deal with the female relatives in the house.
Zheng Sanlang was still making a fuss, but Zheng Xian got angry and picked up a stick and beat him seven or eight times, and ordered someone to take him aside. He watched Mrs. Zheng give orders one after another.
The beloved concubine was sent away, and the Zheng family's jokes came to an end for the time being.
