Chapter 019: First Confrontation (2)

It's another day of greetings.

Wang Qifang sat on the big kang by the window, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised to watch a pair of children lying on the kang surface obediently, dancing with her little hands, blinking her big round eyes, and looking around curiously.

"Mama, you don't have to be so formal, just comb your hair in a homely bun"

When Wang Qifang looked up, she saw Mama Zhao walking in with a mahogany box in her hand, followed by Mother Wu, who was combing her hair, thinking of what happened next, she couldn't help but sigh.

"How?" Mama Zhao ignored Wang Qifang's complaints, directly put the box on the kang table, opened the lock, unfolded the box in front of Wang Qifang, and picked up a red gold ball hairpin, came to Wang Qifang's side, and was busy with the left and right on her hair.

It's not that Mama Zhao wants to show off Wang Qifang's jewelry, but today is the day when Wang Qifang asks Mrs. Zhao to say goodbye, and she has to look at it.

In addition, later, Zhao Tianqing's concubines will come to Wang Qifang to say goodbye first, if Wang Qifang dresses too casually, she will be looked down upon by the fox spirit.

As soon as she thought that the concubines were going to come to greet Qi Niang, the corners of Mama Zhao's mouth couldn't help but rise.

Recalling that at the beginning, because Qi Niang was not treated well by his wife and the second young master, coupled with the arrogance of the concubine Su, the concubines in the courtyard of the second young master did not take Wang Qifang, a genuine young grandmother, in their eyes. Usually, don't talk about greeting her, even if Wang Qifang is sick one day, I don't see any concubines come to the hostess's bed to serve the sick.

Instead, they all ran to pat Su's sycophants, and looked at their enthusiasm and respectful flattery towards Su, so that outsiders who didn't know saw it, and thought that Aunt Su was the second young grandmother of the Zhao family.

Now it's okay, since Qi Niang was taken back to the Zhao family by the second young master, the fox spirit has also begun to warm up again, and every now and then she runs to the peony garden to ask Qi Niang for peace, but in terms of attitude, the temptation is greater than the sincere awe.

However, after Qi Niang thunderously punished the Diao slave that day, Zhao Tianqing's concubines completely changed their attitudes, from the original politeness and appearance, to the current respectful and respectful, just like all the concubines in the family, they served Wang Qifang, the housewife, tremblingly. For fear that the service was not careful, it would anger the second young grandmother, and the new and old hatreds were counted together, and they were also sent to Tianshan to plant cotton.

Mama Zhao, as the person who cares most about and feels the most sorry for Wang Qifang, is very happy to see such a change.

The result of the old lady's happiness is to use all methods to make those little vixens more in awe of Wang Qifang.

Among the many methods, Mama Zhao's favorite and most common use is to let Wang Qifang dress up.

It's a pity that Wang Qifang doesn't have much interest in these. Originally, she didn't come back to compete for favor and rob her husband, what about Zhao Tianqing's concubines, and she had nothing to do with her.

The reason is very simple, Wang Qifang has no feelings for Zhao Tianqing, and naturally she will not look at those women who share her husband with her with the mentality of a wife, let alone jealous or secretly hate them, except for Su and Zisu, the other concubines are no different from strangers for Wang Qifang.

"Oh, my Qi Niang, 'people rely on clothes and Buddha rely on gold', you are the second young grandmother of the Zhao family, and you are also the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, you must not lose your dignity in front of those subordinates." Mama Zhao didn't look at Wang Qifang's expression, she knew that Qi Niang was frowning at the moment, so she persuaded without raising her head.

While talking, Mama Zhao's hands were not idle. I saw her put down the group flower Jin Tian, took out a white jade inlaid jade comb grate from the box, a red gold danfeng bead step shake, as well as a pair of gold-inlaid pearl earrings and colorful glass necklaces, put these neatly on the kang table, looked at it for a long time, nodded with satisfaction, turned to Wu's mother and said, "Sister Wu, I'll trouble you." Let's be quick, and they'll come to say hello to Qi Niang later."

"Hey, Mama Zhao, don't worry"

Mother Wu was given to Wang Qifang by the third uncle and wife of the Li family, and it was originally said that Wang Qifang stayed in Qingzhou for a day, and Mother Wu and the others served her for a day. However, if Wang Qifang returns to the capital, the family will stay in Qingzhou.

However, the plan could not catch up with the changes, with the popularity of the cotton business, the Li family's original transportation and sales network was not enough, Uncle Li Chang saw this situation, and immediately decided to expand the business, and promoted many people from the second-class steward and small steward in the house.

And Wu's mother ** man, Su Yongsheng is an errand boy in the outer courtyard of the Li family, he is honest, but his brain is not rigid, plus Wu's mother is serving by Wang Qifang's side, when Uncle Li Chang was choosing a candidate, he specially promoted him, and let Su Yongsheng and his son Su Qiang be in charge of a certain warehouse in the outer city of the capital, specializing in the delivery of cotton cloth and warehouse management to the capital.

In order to reunite with the family, when Wang Qifang set off to return to the capital, she also followed and continued to serve Wang Qifang to comb her hair.

The errand is still the same errand, and the object of service is still Wang Qifang. However, at this moment, Wu's mother's feelings for Wang Qifang have changed - in the past, she served Wang Qifang as the master's guest; Now, her family relies on Wang Qifang for food, and she directly regards Wang Qifang as her own food and clothing, parents, and masters.

The mentality has changed, and Wu's mother is also very serious when she starts to do things.

As soon as Mama Zhao's words fell, Mother Wu came to Wang Qifang's side with a comb, first respectfully greeted Wang Qifang, then opened the dressing box, put the mirror up in front of Wang Qifang, and stood behind her, holding Wang Qifang's long black hair with both hands, dancing dexterously.

After a short while, a delicate Uighur bun appeared in the mirror in front of Wang Qifang.

Mama Zhao saw that her hair was combed, and compared the jewelry she had just picked out, she always felt that something was missing, so she looked for it from the box, took out a small and delicate red gold hollow flower crown and handed it to Mother Wu.

"Okay, second young grandmother, please see"

The Uighur bun with a delicate gold crown, as well as a jade grate and pearl swaying, make Wang Qifang look more bejeweled and luxurious.

"Well, good, hard work Mother Wu"

Wang Qifang looked up and down at the bright mercury mirror, and nodded with satisfaction - which woman doesn't love beauty, and which one doesn't want to look good?

"Oh, the second young grandmother is too polite, if you like it, it's fine"

Mother Wu saw from the corners of Wang Qifang's mouth that the second young grandmother was still very satisfied with her craftsmanship, so she smiled and said a few polite words, and then withdrew.

As soon as Wu's mother left, there was a sound of Suosuo's skirt rubbing in the courtyard, and then a gust of fragrant wind blew, and several young women dressed up in fancy clothes came to Wang Qifang's door.

"Second young grandmother, Aunt Zhou, Aunt Su, Miss Ziyun and all the young aunts and grandmothers are here to greet you."

Aster flashed out of the doorway and curtsied.

"Aunt Sue?" When Wang Qifang heard other people's names, she was not too surprised, because among all Zhao Tianqing's concubines, Aunt Zhou was the oldest and most responsible, and she was the one who came to ask Wang Qifang for peace the most.

And Ziyun is basically a chess piece brought back by Wang Qifang to contain Zhao Tianqing, no matter whether Ziyun is grateful to Wang Qifang or not, just from the fact that she has not been completely favored by Zhao Tianqing yet, she does not dare to easily offend Wang Qifang, the housewife, so Ziyun is absolutely in awe of Wang Qifang.

It's just that when Wang Qifang heard the words 'Aunt Su', her eyebrows couldn't help jumping, and she said with a hint of mockery: "Oh? Our Aunt Su is finally willing to go out of the room? ”

Hmph, this Su family, from the bones are full of hatred for her Wang Qifang, although what she said is respectful, but that flash of yin, Mama Zhao has seen it more than once, and said that let Wang Qifang be careful of Su.

In other words, since Wang Qifang returned to the Zhao family, the other concubines are sincere or hypocritical, at least they can come to the peony garden to greet her according to the rules. Only this Su family, relying on the fetus in his womb, deliberately said something in front of Mrs. Zhao: "The second young grandmother is back, if the slave maid is not physically inconvenient, I really want to go to the peony garden to serve from time to time", so that Mrs. Zhao, who was distressed about her grandson, directly ordered that Aunt Su was in a special situation, so she was exempted from asking for peace every day.

Mrs. Zhao, who is a mother-in-law, doesn't let her son's concubine come to say hello, how can Wang Qifang bypass her mother-in-law and force the Su family to come to greet her?

Wang Qifang really wants to do that, once there is something wrong with Aunt Su's stomach, the crime will definitely fall on Wang Qifang's head - when the world hears about it, they will also accuse Wang Qifang, the housewife, of not being tolerant and deliberately framing the pregnant concubine

Although she wanted to come back to clean up the Su family, Wang Qifang still clearly realized that this moment was by no means the best time to fight the Su family.

Therefore, for Aunt Su's pampered and arrogant style, Wang Qifang also turned a blind eye and did not make any statement.

It's just that this Su clan has been quietly nesting aside for a long time, why did it suddenly appear today?

Don't...... Wang Qifang narrowed her eyes, thought of a possibility, and couldn't help but "hum" and sneered.

"Hmph, since you're here, then please come in," Wang Qifang spit out a few cold words from between her teeth, and when she heard a few crisp sounds of the collision of hairpins and jade, she pretended to be virtuous and said: "Ziyuan, you must serve Aunt Su well, she is a double body now, and she can't stand a trace of fatigue."

Before the words fell, several brightly dressed women and a pot-bellied ** walked in, and each looked strange - Su's expression was very complicated, she didn't expect that she hadn't appeared yet, so she asked Wang Qifang to give her some eye medicine in front of everyone; As for the others, they were jealous, with a pair of blazing eyes, staring at Aunt Su's bulging lower abdomen, and the longing eyes of the red fruit made Wang Qifang feel a little palpitating, not to mention Su Shihu?

"Okay, you Wang Qifang, fight without declaring a war," Su Shi hated to look at the second young grandmother who was gorgeously dressed and had graceful hair ornaments, and secretly said ruthlessly in his heart, "Okay, for Bodhizi's sake, I still wanted to bypass you for a while, but I didn't expect it...... Very well, in that case, then we can go to war."

P: Alas, today a certain Sa is really unlucky, last night was pricked by a toothpick and injured his thumb, this morning the whole thumb is swollen like a small steamed bun. I endured it in the company for a morning, took leave to go to the hospital in the afternoon, and after some treatment, my thumb was wrapped into zongzi by the doctor...... After coming back, a certain Sa will warp the thumb code word wrapped in a ball, the speed is simply turtle speed, I thought that the end of the month plus more sprints, but I didn't expect, alas, this is fate
