Chapter 177 Tea and Change of Words
Last night, the crabapple blossoms were wet with rain, and the flowers were light and delicate, and seemed to want to speak. The beautiful lady got up early in the morning and came out of the orchid room, picking some flowers to compare her makeup in front of the mirror.

"Why did you get up so early?"

Early in the morning, Yang Zhengshan lifted the curtain on the bed and asked softly.

Yu Qingyi was sitting in front of the dressing mirror, combing her long black hair.

"The children are coming over to pay their respects, so we have to prepare first!" Yu Qingyi's face was still slightly flushed, perhaps because it was her first time having sex, there was a hint of charm between her eyebrows.

Yang Zhengshan got out of bed wearing only his shirt, and looking at her like this, he couldn't help but feel hungry.

"Just let them wait!"

Logically speaking, they should serve tea to their parents today, but Yang Zhengshan no longer has parents, so naturally there is no need to serve tea to them. They only need to pay their respects in front of the spirit tablet.

However, Yang Mingcheng's adopted children wanted to serve them tea and change their tune.

Yu Qingyi glanced at him coquettishly, "You are my biological father, you can do whatever you want, but I am my stepmother!"

There was some resentment in her tone.

It’s not easy to be a stepmother!

Moreover, the children are all grown up, making it even more difficult for her to be a stepmother.

"It's okay, I'll let you be my mother next year!" Yang Zhengshan said casually.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Yu Qingyi's face turned red again.

Yang Zhengshan smiled, walked behind Yu Qingyi, and kissed her rosy face, "What's there to be shy about? We are husband and wife, and it's normal to have a child!"

He still really wants to have a biological child.

Although Yang Mingcheng and the others are very filial, they were not raised by him after all, so there is always something missing when they get along with each other. It is probably like the feeling of almost being his biological father.

Yu Qingyi leaned on him, her eyes full of tenderness. She also wanted to have a child.

"Sir, madam!"

The maid outside the door may have heard the noise in the room and called out softly.

The warm atmosphere was broken, Yang Zhengshan was a little helpless and said, "Come in!"

Afterwards, four old women and four maids came in one after another.

Among them, Madam Liu, Madam Lin, Qingxia and Hongyun were all Yu Qingyi's dowry, and the rest were arranged by Wu Hai.

From now on, these old women and maids will be the people of the main courtyard, responsible for serving Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi.

"Greetings to the master, greetings to the lady!"

A group of people came in and greeted the two people first.

"No need to be so polite!" Yang Zhengshan said indifferently.

He had been in this world for four years, and he had never had anyone serving him. One reason was that he had a spiritual spring space, and he needed his own private space, and it was not suitable for him to have someone serving him all the time. The other reason was that he was not used to it.

But now he is not alone, so he still needs to have the necessary servants.

Afterwards, the old women and maids came forward to help Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi dress up.

Yang Zhengshan doesn't know how to comb his hair. He usually just ties it up casually as long as it doesn't look too messy. When he got married yesterday, it was Yang Yunyan who combed his hair. Today, two maids combed his hair, which made him feel a little uncomfortable.

However, everyone has their own expertise, and the two maids had obviously practiced before. Not only did they tie Yang Zhengshan's hair, they also put a net scarf on him, making him look more neat overall.

Yu Qingyi's outfit hasn't changed much from before, except that it's a little more refined today.

After dressing up, the two walked side by side to the main hall.

Yang Mingcheng and others had been waiting outside the hall for a long time. When they saw Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi coming, they went into the house one by one.

Yang Zhengshan and Yu Qingyi first kowtowed and burned incense in front of the spirit tablet, and then sat in the main seat waiting for Yang Mingcheng and others to pay their respects and change their words.

"Mother, please have some tea!" Yang Mingcheng and his eldest family came forward to offer tea.

The second wife is also the legal wife, and the legal wife is the stepmother.

There is only one mother in a family, and that is the wife.

Even a bastard's son has to call his wife "mother", while the biological mother of the bastard can only be called "aunt".

From today on, Yu Qingyi is the mistress of the Yang family and the mother of Yang Mingcheng and others.

Filial piety is more important than anything else. As children, we should not disobey our parents.

If they were unfilial, Yu Qingyi only needed to file a lawsuit with the government, and Yang Mingcheng and other children would be ruined.

Yu Qingyi took the tea and took a sip, then took out the gift she had prepared long ago and presented it to him.

It was a book of boxing techniques, a post-natal boxing technique called Hanshan Fist.

The next one was Yang Mingzhi. Yu Qingyi also taught him a martial art called Eight Steps to Chase the Cicada.

The skills she gave were not given randomly, but were based on the characteristics of Yang Mingcheng and Yang Mingzhi.

Hanshan Fist emphasizes strength and dominance, and Yang Mingcheng has a sturdy build, which makes him very suitable for practicing this kind of boxing.

In comparison, Yang Mingzhi looked a little thinner, and his fighting style tended to be more flexible and varied, so Yu Qingyi chose a footwork for him.

Afterwards, she gave Yang Minghao a book of Paikong Palm. Yang Minghao was more like Yang Mingcheng, with both of them having relatively large skeletons. To put it simply, Yang Mingcheng and Yang Minghao followed Yang Zhengshan, being tall and strong, while Yang Mingzhi followed Yang Lu, being shorter and thinner.

However, Yang Minghao and Yang Mingcheng are somewhat different. Yang Mingcheng is honest and simple, and is more suitable for straightforward martial arts training. Yang Minghao is more flexible. Although the Paikong Palm also has some powerful characteristics, it has more variations and is more suitable for Yang Minghao.

In addition to the martial arts, Yu Qingyi also prepared three jade bracelets and gave them to her three daughters-in-law, as well as silver locks and jewelry for her grandchildren.

Yang Zhengshan felt a little uncomfortable watching the sons change their ways, and it was time for daughters to come.

Yang Yunyan stepped forward first, "Mother, please have some tea!"

Yu Qingyi drank tea and gave Yang Yunyan a set of headdresses. Jiang He got nothing, but Jiang Ning and Jiang Miao each got a small gift.

This is normal, after all, Jiang He’s surname is not Yang.

Next is Yang Yunxue. Yang Yunyan is already married, but Yang Yunxue is not. Yu Qingyi will have to arrange Yang Yunxue's wedding in the future.

Since it is the same set of headgear, Yu Qingyi definitely cannot favor one over the other.

Finally, there are Lin Zhan, Wang Yunqiao and Wang Mingzhe. Although their surname is not Yang either, they are Yang Zhengshan’s disciples.

Once a teacher, always a father.

In the underworld, the master and his mistress are almost like parents.

Yu Qingyi gave Lin Zhan a set of hardcover Four Books and Five Classics, gave Wang Yunqiao a set of headgear, and gave Wang Mingzhe a silver lock.

Although Lin Zhan is Yang Zhengshan's disciple and has also practiced martial arts, he now focuses on reading. For scholars, the importance of the Four Books and Five Classics is self-evident.

The change of words was completed, everyone dispersed, and Yu Qingyi officially became the head of the Yang family.

Yang Zhengshan took Yu Qingyi back to the inner room, "Do you want a housekeeper?"

"Housekeeper!" Yu Qingyi hesitated for a moment, "Isn't Wang's housekeeper very good?"

"But you are the mistress of the house!" Yang Zhengshan said with a smile.

This is really not an easy matter to handle.

The power of stewardship is still very important in the backyard. After all, whoever holds the power of stewardship controls the family's money.

Many official families have made countless jokes in their fight for housekeeping rights, including fights between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and between sisters-in-law. This is also one of the main reasons for the disturbances in the backyard.

Yu Qingyi frowned, she also felt that it was a bit difficult to do.

What if she really wants to be the housekeeper and Wang doesn't want to?
She actually doesn't care about the housekeeper's power, but it's not appropriate for her to not care about anything.

Don't forget that the Yang family still has an unmarried young lady. She will be responsible for arranging Yang Yunxue's wedding in the future. She will be responsible for collecting dowry, finding a date, discussing marriage, and getting married.

Otherwise, people might think that she is a bad stepmother.

At this time, Yu Qingyi's mentality had changed, from a martial artist to an official's wife.

"Forget it, I'll make the decision. You take charge of the outside affairs, and Wang will take charge of the inside affairs!"

Seeing that she was in trouble, Yang Zhengshan helped her make the decision.

This "main body" does not mean the man is the main body of the family, but refers to the Yang family's overseas businesses.

In fact, the Yang family did not have many properties outside. Apart from the horse farm, there were only more than 100 acres of land in Yangjia Village, and the shops in Chongshanguan had all been sold.

"Let the boss manage the horse ranch. You can use the money to buy some shops and land."

Yang Zhengshan took out a small box from under the bed, actually he took it out from the space.

This was most of the silver and money he had. The amount was not large, only more than two thousand taels.

The reason why it is so small is that most of the Yang family’s money was invested in the new horse farm.

"It's just over two thousand taels. I'll give it to you when I have money!" Yang Zhengshan said.

Yu Qingyi nodded and understood what Yang Zhengshan meant.

Being the main person in charge means that all the income of the Yang family will go into her hands, which is equivalent to her holding the financial power of the Yang family's backyard.

Wang was in charge of the household, and was responsible for the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the backyard.

Of course, Yu Qingyi is the mistress, so Wang still has to follow her wishes.

"Okay, it's settled. Just talk to Wang later!"

"Wang is a sincere person and won't have any problem with you."

Yang Zhengshan tried his best to comfort Yu Qingyi.

Yu Qingyi would definitely have many things that she was not used to after suddenly marrying into such a big family. Yang Zhengshan didn't have any good solution for this and could only help her slowly integrate into this big family.

Fortunately, the Yang family doesn't have those messy things, and Yu Qingyi is not the kind of person who takes everything seriously, so it shouldn't be too difficult for them to get along.

"Yeah!" Yu Qingyi smiled gently and nodded. She suddenly found that Yang Zhengshan seemed very careful and caring.

This made her feel at ease.

"Do you want to go to the front yamen?" Yu Qingyi asked.

Yang Zhengshan frowned, "I won't go to the front office, but the guests haven't left yet, I have to go and receive them again!"

"By the way, several mothers-in-law are here too. Let Wang accompany you to meet them later!"

Since Yu Qingyi has entered the Yang family, she must take on the role of mistress.

"Okay, I'll go meet them later!"

Yu Qingyi said.

Then Yang Zhengshan told her about the relatives of the Yang family and the situation of the Yang clan, so that she could have a more detailed understanding of the entire Yang family.

The couple sat together to discuss household matters, and the atmosphere was particularly solid and peaceful.
