In the back house of the Wang family, Mrs. Wang put down the account book in her hand and rubbed her forehead a little tiredly.

Seeing this, Xianglan, the big girl behind her, hurriedly asked her, "Is Mrs. tired?" Let's take a break, shall we? You've been looking at the ledger for two hours. ”

Mrs. Wang sighed: "Why don't I want to rest?" It's just that when I think that the money in the family's account is used so quickly, but there is not much income, I can't settle down, even if I throw away the account book, I am also upset. ”

Xianglan is the henchman of the housemother, and she has some understanding of the family's financial situation, and she can't help but sigh: "No wonder others say that it is not easy to live in the capital." When did our family run out of silver in the northwest? After only a few days back in the capital, I felt that my hands were tight. In the past, I only thought that our Wang family was extremely wealthy, and even the Governor's Mansion may not be comparable. But in this capital, there are many wealthy and wealthy families in our family. I went out with my wife as a guest, and when I saw the clothes of the people and the style of the house, my heart also became terrified. ”

Mrs. Wang smiled bitterly: "You are from the northwest, and you have never seen the prosperity of the capital, so you will have such an idea." When I first married your general, I went in and out of the Jiannanhou Mansion several times, and I saw what a real nobleman looks like, and there are few people I visited after returning to Beijing this time, so I am not afraid. It's just for the general's new position, our family gives gifts everywhere, and the silver is spent like water, but there is no sound on it. Originally, I heard that he was going to serve in the Ouchi Forbidden Army, but now there is no sound, but a general guarding the outer city has been transferred to Ouchi. The future of the general is uncertain, and I always feel empty in my heart, and I don't know what to do. ”

The Wang family has been in the northwest for many years, and in fact, they have accumulated a lot of net worth, and they will not empty their family because they have given a few more gifts. But when the gift is given, it has no effect at all, and it can't be stopped from now on. There is no way forward, and Mrs. Wang naturally has no bottom in her heart. That's what makes her suffer the most.

While sighing, the mother-in-law reported outside: "Miss Zhao is here." "That's Zhao Xiang.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly cheered up: "Please come in." As he spoke, he closed the ledger and set it aside. Xianglan had already personally greeted her and asked the little girl to lift the curtain and invite Zhao Xiang in.

Zhao Xiang walked in gracefully. Today, she is wearing a moon-white entangled lotus dark pattern brocade jacket, a navy blue horse-faced skirt with silver threads, a simple bun on her head, only a very delicate chrysanthemum silver hairpin is inserted, her earlobe is wearing a pearl pendant with a peanut grain, and she is wearing a white jade double bracelet on her wrist, which is crisp and soft, and there is a mutton fat white jade pendant hanging from her waist. This dress is both elegant and rich, where is it still the daughter of the criminal official who is in the market? If it weren't for Dai Xiao, he would have dressed plainly, compared to the princess's daughter, it would be nothing more than that.

She bowed slowly to Mrs. Wang: "Say hello to my aunt." Mrs. Wang hurriedly helped her up: "I'm not an outsider, why be so polite?" He pulled her to the kang and sat down. Xianglan stood aside, took the freshly brewed tea from the little girl's hand, put it on the small table next to Zhao Xiang, and then respectfully retreated and stood with the little girl.

Mrs. Wang took Zhao Xiang's hand and asked some common words. She liked this little girl very much, so she treated the other party very affectionately, and she was warm-hearted, so she seemed to be long-winded. Zhao Xiang always maintained a gentle and obedient expression on his face, smiling, and occasionally a little shy, his attitude towards Mrs. Wang was both respectful and profound, and he also showed a little nostalgia and sadness from time to time, which made Mrs. Wang remember that she was a person who had been away from her mother since she was a child, and her biological mother was also very unreliable, and she felt more pity for her in her heart.

After greeting for a long time, Zhao Xiang mentioned today's intention. She said softly: "It is really a sin for my grandmother to suddenly commit an old illness, and even my uncle and aunt are worried about it. Yesterday, the doctor also prescribed a recipe for ginseng soup, asking my aunt to spend money on medicine, and said that she would eat more nourishing things. My grandmother told me that she was an old disease, it was not well maintained when she was young, and the symptoms left over from it had not improved for decades, even if she didn't eat the ginseng soup and didn't take supplements, it was just a little harder during the attack, she was weaker, and she had a short life for a few years, so it was no big deal. In such a situation at home, every grass and paper has to rely on Uncle Wang, this ginseng soup and tonic are still exempt, right? ”

After the Niu family moved into Wang's house, it was originally said that they would stay for a few days and move out when they found a suitable house. But she never mentioned it, and she didn't see her sending her second grandson out to look for a house, Mrs. Wang originally thought that she was asking her eldest grandson to do it, so she didn't ask much. But when Zhao Ze came to visit and wanted to pick up his grandmother and siblings to leave, Niu said that he hadn't found a suitable house yet, so don't move yet. Zhao Ze said that he had found it, but Niu refuted that the house he found was an inferior house that someone else deliberately rented to him at a high price in order to coax him with money, and it was uninhabitable at all, but the rent was ridiculously expensive, and he didn't want his grandson to spend money in vain. Zhao Ze had no choice but to dispel his idea.

Mrs. Wang proposed at that time that she could let her housekeeper help the Niu family find a house, and Niu said that she didn't want to trouble the Wang family, and Mrs. Wang repeatedly said that it didn't matter, and she was very enthusiastic about helping. Unexpectedly, on the second day, Niu fell ill, saying that he had committed an old illness. Zhao Xiang cried and asked Mrs. Wang to invite the doctor who was used to Niu's to come to see her, and came to the conclusion that she was too serious about her to commit an old illness. Wang Dongsheng and his wife didn't understand what else she was thinking, and asked Niu's, but Niu's refused to say, Zhao Xiang also looked like he was stumbling, and Aunt Xiaoqian's mother and son directly said that they didn't know. Later, it was the girl next to Niu's side who revealed her thoughts in private: she felt that Mrs. Wang was so enthusiastic about helping her find a house because she wanted her to leave the Wang family as soon as possible, so as not to let Wang Dongsheng be dragged down by their family members.

Mrs. Wang suddenly felt guilty, and repeatedly said that she didn't mean that, she just wanted to help. Wang Dongsheng also complained in private that his wife couldn't speak, and swore in front of Niu's hospital bed that even if her grandchildren lived in the Wang family for a lifetime, it didn't matter, he would never drive people out, if he violated his oath, he would thunder and thunder in the sky, and he would not die well, and his descendants would be harmed - he made a heavy oath, and Mrs. Wang's face turned green when she heard it, and Mrs. Wang also felt that it was inappropriate. But Niu always felt that Wang Dongsheng was prevaricating her, and sooner or later he would sweep their grandchildren out of the house, and she didn't let go until Wang Dongsheng made such a poisonous oath. Seeing Niu's reaction, the Wang family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law didn't have much to say.

So the ancestors and grandchildren of the Niu family officially settled in the Wang family, the female dependents took the children to live in a courtyard for a long time, Zhao Yan lived with the two sons of the Wang family, and only Zhao Ze lived outside because he had a shop to take care of. In addition to the three girls brought by the ancestors and grandsons of the Niu family, the Wang family added another maid to them, and only one of the old servants was left to listen to the instructions in the outer courtyard of the Wang family, and the other two were sent by the Niu family to the study shop to be with Zhao Ze Lao Zhangtou as a companion.

The husband and wife of the Wang family have no complaints about the arrangement of the ancestors and grandchildren of the Niu family, and the clothes and food provided are all of the highest quality, and some of them are even better than those used by Mrs. Wang, but they do not exceed the standards of Mrs. Wang. The medicines and supplements that Niu's usually eats are naturally made of the best materials, and of course, the price is not low. After the Wang family entered Beijing, a large part of the large amount of money spent was used in this area. Today, Zhao Xiang specially looked uneasy to talk to Mrs. Wang, of course Mrs. Wang would not listen: "How can this be done?" Your grandmother is a patient, of course the patient must use the best, otherwise how can the condition improve? Don't say this again, and if you say it again, it means to see me outside. ”

Zhao Xiang smiled softly and didn't mention it anymore, in fact, she didn't mean to refuse, but she saw Mrs. Wang's temperament and deliberately said such things to please her. This was originally the method taught by the Niu family, and now it seems that it is really effective.

Zhao Xiang pursed his lips to hide a smug smile at the corner of his mouth.

Mrs. Wang didn't notice it, and told her again, "It's just ...... Although our family does not lack this amount of money for medicine, the patient's condition has not improved, which is not a good thing. Although ginseng bird's nest is a nourishing thing, it will also catch fire if you eat too much. I don't think the doctor who treated your grandmother is a skilled doctor, otherwise she wouldn't have seen your grandmother get better after taking this recipe for a few days? Why don't you take your uncle's post and ask a doctor to come and take a closer look. Even if it costs a little more money, it will be worth it if you can cure your grandmother's illness. ”

Zhao Xiang's face stiffened, and he hurriedly smiled: "Auntie, I don't know, in the past, when my family was still rich, in fact, my father also invited a doctor to treat my grandmother, and there was more than one." But countless prescriptions were prescribed, a lot of medicine was drunk, and money was spent, but my grandmother's illness never improved. Thinking about it, the medical skills of those imperial doctors are certainly clever, but the medicine that can be prescribed is useless for my grandmother's illness. The doctor I see now was introduced by relatives and friends, and although his reputation is not obvious, he has a lot of experience in curing his grandmother's disease. When my grandmother eats the recipe he prescribes, she will feel better. Although it has never been cured, it is much stronger than the prescriptions prescribed by others, so my grandmother has been looking for him to see a doctor. ”

Mrs. Wang suddenly said: "I see." It seems that it really makes sense for the emperor to rectify the Tai Hospital, and the Tai Doctor also has the ability to do things unusually. She didn't think much about it: "Since your grandmother is good at taking the medicine prescribed by this doctor, let's take it first." I'll ask if there's a famous doctor who is good at this condition, and then I'll ask you to treat your grandmother. ”

Zhao Xiang agreed softly, chatted with her for a while, and then got up and gently retired. Mrs. Wang watched her leave, and she only felt that it would be good if she had such a daughter.

It's a pity that such a lovely girl has been affected by her parents and ended up in this situation. If her grandmother's illness is not good, and her mother, brothers, and sisters are not close to her, and it is said that her brother's character is also very problematic, what should she do in the future? The more Mrs. Wang thought about it, the more she felt pity for Zhao Xiang, and hoped to help her.

Xianglan and the little girl sent Zhao Xiang out of the door of the main courtyard all the way, and Zhao Xiang also said to Xianglan very kindly: "I'm tired of my sister, sister, please go back." He turned around and left, but he didn't even glance at the little girl.

Xianglan was treated politely by Zhao Xiang for several days, and she had a good impression of her, and when she returned to the main house, she still had a smile on her face.

But the little girl behind her turned around and left with an expressionless face. She walked through the courtyard, arrived at the servant's residence in the corner of the Wang family's house, looked left and right, quickly entered one of the rooms, and closed the door with her backhand.

The man sitting in the room looked up at her, and she said to him with a gloomy expression, "Brother, I have met the enemy's daughter again......" RS
