Chapter 059: Reunion of Old Friends (2)
"Oh, Seventh Sister, your Zhuangzi is really good, I don't understand, why is your luck so good, just a Zhuangzi can dig out a hot spring," Mei Niang followed Wang Qifang with great interest, first went to see the hot spring Zhuangzi under construction, and after seeing the hot springs that had just been dug up, she moved to Beiyuan to rest.
"Hehe, of course, sister, I am a person with a Buddha fate, and I am naturally protected by the Buddha," Wang Qifang pulled Mei Niang to sit down, and asked Mama Zhao to settle the girls and mothers-in-law brought by Mei Niang, but she looked around and didn't see Mei Niang's son, so she asked with concern, "By the way, what about your eldest man, why don't you bring it?" ”
"Well, it's delicious, it's still the fruit grown by the seventh sister herself," Mei Niang saw a few plates of delicate strawberries and cherries on the small table, and unceremoniously picked up the bamboo skewer next to the plate, inserted a strawberry and threw it into her mouth, and the familiar taste suddenly hit the tip of her tongue. She licked the juice that flowed out, and said with a little helplessness: "Alas, Da Lang, I was left at home by my mother-in-law, saying that the weather is too cold now, and Da Lang is too young to travel far...... said that he knew that we came to the capital to open a shop, and it must have been very hard at the beginning, so he proposed to leave Da Lang at home first, and then take Da Lang into Beijing after I and the second young master settled down in the capital. ”
"That ......" Wang Qifang heard the helplessness and bitterness in Mei Niang's words, so she avoided this sad topic, turned around and called Yuan Niang, and asked her to give Mei Niang a salute: "...... When my mother was in Qingzhou, thanks to the care of Qian Ershao's grandmother, come, little girl, please say hello to my aunt."
"Yuan Niang has seen my aunt." As soon as Yuan Niang heard that the gentle and beautiful aunt opposite was actually the sister with a different surname she had made in Qingzhou mentioned by her mother in the capital, she hurriedly came to Mei Niang, bowed in a proper manner, and said hello politely.
"Oh, this is Yuan Niang, come on, let my aunt have a good look."
In Qingzhou, although Mei Niang and Wang Qifang did not officially worship, the relationship between the two is irreversible, and they are better than sisters if they are not sisters. In addition, Wang Qifang gave Mei Niang a lot of powerful things, whether it was the tomatoes that stopped vomiting at the beginning, or the magical little silverfish later, all of which allowed Mei Niang to go through the most difficult days of a woman smoothly, until she gave birth to Da Lang safely...... Da Lang, her biological son who was taken away by her mother-in-law as soon as she was born.
When Mei Niang thought of her son thousands of miles away, her heart hurt like a pinprick.
"Auntie, you, are you okay?" Why are you crying, is the little girl making people angry? Yuan Niang stretched out her hand to wipe the water marks on Mei Niang's face, and asked in a panic.
"Huh? It's okay, hehe, the wind and sand here are so big, my aunt is blinded by the sand"
Mei Niang was shocked by her gaffe, and hurriedly pulled out her handkerchief and wiped away the tears on her face.
"Wind and sand?"
No, Mama Zhao said, Lingxian is not as good as the capital, and there is only wind and sand in spring and autumn. But it's winter now, and the wind and sand are long gone.
Xiaoya tilted her little head suspiciously, obviously questioning Mei Niang's words. However, looking at the way the aunt was choked with tears by the sand, the little girl was very worried, and hurriedly raised her little face, pouted, and said to Mei Niang: "Auntie, the little girl will give you a call, my mother said that it doesn't hurt anymore."
As she spoke, the little girl broke off Mei Niang's hand to wipe her tears, puffed up her pink and tender little face, and helped her blow seriously.
"Yuan Niang is so good, being snorted by you like this, my aunt's eyes really don't hurt."
Wiping away her tears, a pair of watery innocent eyes appeared in front of Mei Niang, she held back the sadness in her heart, and said to Yuan Niang with a smile, "Come, this is my aunt's gift to you, see if you like it." ”
Saying that, Mei Niang took out an apricot yellow purse embroidered with a kitten fluttering butterfly from her sleeve pocket, and she didn't know what was in the purse.
"Mother?"
Xiaoya passively held the heavy purse, and turned her head to look at her mother at a loss.
"Don't thank you, auntie?"
Seeing this, Wang Qifang nodded hurriedly and motioned to Yuan Niang to accept the purse. Alas, it seems that Mei Niang is not having a good time during this time, with obvious melancholy on her face.
"Thank you, auntie"
The little girl hugged her purse tightly and thanked Mei Niang loudly.
"Okay, let's go play"
When Mei Niang saw the cute smile of the little girl, her heart warmed, and she gently patted Yuan Niang's little PP, let her go, and let her play.
"Mei Niang, ...... you" Wang Qifang also took the opportunity to send the girls down, and saw that there were only two of them left in the garden, so she asked worriedly: "You, are you okay?" Why didn't Second Young Master Qian come along? "Could it be that their husband and wife are having an awkward quarrel?
Can't it, Wang Qifang shook her head secretly, thinking that when she was in Qingzhou, Qian Zhixin was very pampered to Mei Niang, in order for his beloved wife to eat a bite of something she liked, she didn't hesitate to spend a lot of money to buy it, but now it's only been half a year, even if you change your mind, you can't change so quickly?
Is it difficult to become a child?
Wang Qifang recalled that when Mei Niang just said that Da Lang was taken away by her mother-in-law, there was a trace of coldness and resentment in her eyes, and then she thought of what happened to her, she couldn't help but guess.
"Me?" Mei Niang wiped her face vigorously with a handkerchief, and when she saw that the mother-in-law around her had gone down, she took off her calm mask and said with a mocking voice: "Why am I not good?" Her husband cherishes her, her mother's family is strong, and now she has a sister-in-law who is valued by her mother-in-law, and she doesn't know how good her life is......" It's just that when her eyes met Wang Qifang's worried eyes, she couldn't suppress the grievances in her heart anymore, and hugged Wang Qifang and cried: "Sister, why do you say that men change their minds so quickly?"
Not far from the garden, Liu Yingniang, the captain of the women's guard, with her three sisters, stood meticulously near the master, closely watching the movements in the four directions.
"Sister Yingniang, is our second young grandmother really a person with Buddha fate?"
Liuniang, the youngest in the escort team, saw Nanyuan on the other side of the riverbank, since the hot spring was dug out, there are a large number of farmers and lively people to see the hot spring every day, and then think about the rumors that the entire Ling County will spread all over the recent period, and couldn't help asking.
"Perhaps, I can't say for sure."
Yingniang shook her head, to be honest, she couldn't see through the new owner. Thinking that she Liu Yingniang was the most courageous soldier under Her Royal Highness the Princess, in the northwest battlefield, she was at the forefront of the charge, after several cruel tests of blood and fire, her right foot was seriously injured, Rao is military doctor treated properly, and she was also disabled.
At first, she thought that her life was over, originally, being a women's army was shocking enough, but now she has become a cripple, not to mention marrying, it is a problem to make a living by herself.
Of course, with the three princesses here, her livelihood is naturally not a problem. However, she can't let the third princess raise her for a lifetime, right? Also, there are more sisters injured on the battlefield, so they can't all be attached to the third princess to live, right?
However, if they don't rely on the three princesses, what should they do? Be a girl, be a mother-in-law?
Liu Yingniang shook her head firmly, she is never a soldier, not a subordinate, and not a waste, even if she takes off her military uniform, she doesn't want to live so undignified.
When she was in a dilemma and didn't know how to plan her future life, the second young grandmother of the Zhao family came. She not only brought thick and warm cotton clothes to the sisters on the front line, but also offered to hire them as retired women's soldiers with high salaries, as well as sisters who were injured and disabled
This, this is simply timely rain, if Wang Qifang is really seeking talent, he is really a benevolent person.
However, what really made Liu Yingniang decide to leave the princess's mansion with Wang Qifang was not her promise, but what she once said, 'Who said that women are not as good as men'. is just such a simple sentence, which makes Liu Yingniang feel like a 'confidant' to Wang Qifang.
Of course, after they came to the Zhao Mansion, Wang Qifang's various care and concern for them made Liu Yingniang's feeling of 'confidant' even stronger. Sometimes, when facing Wang Qifang's kind and unpretentious eyes, Liu Yingniang couldn't help but think - well, as long as the second young grandmother does not violate the law and discipline, do not do things that endanger the people, and endanger the Great Zhou, she Liu Yingniang and the other sixteen sisters will follow the second young grandmother.
"Oh, Sister Ying Niang has seen the Bodhi tree with her own eyes."
"No, the tree has been in the conservatory in the North Garden, and the second young grandmother said that after the conservatory in the South Garden is completed, the Bodhi tree will be transplanted. By then, we'll all be able to see it."
"Nanyuan also has to repair the conservatory, oh my God, the South Garden is much more than the North Garden, if you build a conservatory, wouldn't you also have to build a big conservatory? Well, if you do that, you need a lot of light glass."
"No, the young grandmother who went in just now is a close friend of the second young grandmother in Qingzhou, and she came to give the second young grandmother glass."
A few women's soldiers, without affecting their work, couldn't help but gossip a few words.
"Qingzhou? Could it be the Qingzhou Qian family? Their family is the richest family in Qingzhou, I heard that their family is going to marry the King of Qi."
"Really? King Qi is the most important imperial brother today, if he can climb up with him, then the Qian family will be great in the future."
In the garden, Mei Niang was also intermittently crying to Wang Qifang about marrying King Qi.
“…… It has been spread all over the family, saying that Princess Qi's niece has taken a fancy to the second young master of our family, and is begging Prince Qi to call the shots and marry her to the second young master. And I, woo, my, I have to move people as soon as possible."
"What? How can this be reasonable" Wang Qifang paused, and then said angrily: "Is there really such a thing? What does the letter of money mean? He also wants to be a relative of the Qi Palace, and he will divorce you? ”
If that's the case, then she's really looking at someone wrong.
"Second Young Master?" Mei Niang nodded and shook her head, biting her lip and saying, "The second young master didn't say anything, but it has spread all over the family——"
At this time, Ziyuan quietly came up and said in Wang Qifang's ear: "Second young grandmother, I just received a report from the women's army in the outer courtyard, saying that it was Qingzhou Qian Zhixin asking to see her
