Chapter 044 Ill-intentioned (2)

"Qi Niang, that Zheng Sanniang is not good," Back in the peony garden, Mama Zhao saw that only she and Wang Qifang were left in the house, so she pulled Wang Qifang to the side of the kang and sat down, and said worriedly.

"Well, I know," Wang Qifang nodded, then took out a booklet and a homemade quill from the dustpan with a few clicks on the kang, spread out the booklet, and prepared to write.

"Qi Niang, since you know that she has another purpose, why do you follow her wishes and let her stay in his wife's yard?"

You must know that Yuan Niang's small courtyard belongs to the Garden of Compassion, which is not only exquisitely arranged, but also the closest to the wife's main house. Once Zheng Sanniang lives in, first of all, she will get along with her wife day and night, and it will be too easy for Zheng Sanniang to get his wife's liking at that time; Secondly, several young masters have to go to their wives every day to say goodbye, and they have to pass by the small courtyard every time, which means that they can meet Zheng Sanniang who lives in it every day, and by that time......

dipped in some ink, Wang Qifang didn't raise her head, and said, "Hehe, you also saw the scene just now, even if I don't take the initiative to bring it up, my wife or Zheng Sanniang will try their best to force me to agree." Instead of being forced into a passive situation, it is better for me to take the initiative to bring it up, and by the way, see what agreement can be reached between this Zheng Sanniang and his wife. ”

"Could it be that Zheng remembered some crooked eyes again?"

Mama Zhao thought of the mean appearance of the stepwife of the Wang family, for fear that she would come to harm her Qi Niang again, so she couldn't help but ask a little worriedly.

"It should be," Wang Qifang took the quill pen and wrote something on the book, and when she heard Mama Zhao's words, the hand holding the pen paused, and then said: "Although the Zheng family's maiden family belongs to the Zheng family in Xingyang, it is just an inconspicuous side branch. In particular, most of Zheng's elder brothers are businessmen, but none of them can obtain the certification of the Confucian Business Association, they are just ordinary businessmen."

And Wang Qifang's mother-in-law, the Zhao family in the capital, is the leading boss of the Confucian Business Association, if you can establish a close cooperative relationship with the Zhao family, then the Zheng family can easily get the certification of the Confucian Business Association. This is why when helping Wang Qifang choose a wedding girl, the Zheng family deliberately inserted his cronies and distant nieces into it, so that these girls could be favored by the second young master in the future, and then help the Zheng family.

At first, Zheng's plan went quite smoothly, and Wang Qifang became pregnant within a year of marrying the Zhao family, so she could not serve Zhao Tianqing. At this time, Zi Su took advantage of the situation, and without waiting for Wang Qifang to help Zhao Tianqing arrange a room, she climbed onto her uncle's bed without permission, and became a very favored girl in the second young master.

After that, Zisu also dutifully fulfilled the things assigned by the Zheng family, often blowing pillow wind in Zhao Tianqing's ears, and won a lot of plans for the Zheng family to cooperate with the Zhao family, and even got Zhao Tianqing's verbal promise, saying that when the Confucian Business Association recruits new members next year, the Zheng family will be recommended.

Everything went exceptionally smoothly, and both the Zheng family and the Zheng family were very happy to see that the plan that had been planned for many years would come to fruition. But no one expected that at such a critical moment, Wang Qifang would suddenly make a difficulty, attracting a foreign family to help her make the decision, and the Zhao family had to push out Zisu as a scapegoat in order to give the Li family an explanation, and all of a sudden Zisu's efforts for four or five years were destroyed.

Without internal response, Wang Qifang pulled out the cronies installed by the Zheng family one by one, breaking the last trace of influence of the Zheng family on the Zhao family.

"Presumably, someone quietly told the Zheng family about my disposal of Wang Xin and Wang Shide, and Zisu was still locked up in the attic at that time, which invisibly made the Zheng family know nothing about the Zhao family...... Hmph, with Zheng's temper, how could she just give up? This Zheng Sanniang is probably the person who was found by the Zheng family to be inserted into the Zhao family. Hmm, as for the object of seduction, it is either Zhao Tianqing, or the third young master Zhao Tianchu who returned from the New Year. ”

Although she has not fought with the Zheng family face-to-face, the residual memories of her in her body still make Wang Qifang still know a little about this woman.

"So, what are we going to do?"

Qi Niang, who tossed a perilla, has been sad for several years, and now there is another Zheng Sanniang, looking at this pomp and posture, it is far more flamboyant than the original perilla, and it has an advantage in identity alone, after all, there is a huge gap between a good concubine and a room.

"Hehe, let's do whatever we have to do, and watch the play when we have free time, it's good"

Wang Qifang raised her head, met Mama Zhao's worried eyes, and said with a smile.

"Watching a play? But, if Zheng Sanniang is coming for the second young master, what should he do? ”

Now Qi Niang is still Zhao Er's young grandmother, if Zheng Sanniang's goal is the second young master, then in order to achieve her goal, she will definitely be unfavorable to Qi Niang, at that time, what should Qi Niang and the children do if they are harmed by that black-hearted person?

"If Zheng Sanniang's target is Zhao Tianqing, wouldn't it be better?"

A ruthless Su family, a scheming Zheng family, tsk, if these two people get up, the inner courtyard of the Zhao family will be lively.

has decided to give up, Wang Qifang naturally will not care too much about Zhao Tianqing, let alone be jealous of the woman who has entanglements with him. On the contrary, Wang Qifang is looking forward to the next 'drama', and really wants to see the arrival of the 'Warring States' era in the inner courtyard of the Zhao family as soon as possible.

"Okay, Mama, what is their purpose, it has nothing to do with us," Raising her eyes and seeing Mama Zhao's brows twisted into a circle, Wang Qifang put down her pen and pulled Mama to sit beside her with a smile, "Didn't Mrs. say just now, let me take Yuan Niang out as soon as possible, so that I can make way for Zheng Sanniang to make a yard for others." Let's focus on some irrelevant people, it's better to focus on how to settle Yuan Niang. You tell me? ”

"Oh, yes, how did I forget Yuan Niang," Zhao Mama patted her thigh and said suddenly: "Yes, yes, the most important thing now is to take Yuan Niang over quickly, and don't let her have any contact with Zheng Sanniang...... Hmph, our Yuan Niang is simple-hearted, don't be taught by some crooked foxes."

Saying that, Mama Zhao stood up sharply and discussed with Wang Qifang: "I'll go to the Rose Garden to keep an eye on it, and urge those people to quickly tidy up the furniture in the yard, and wait for tomorrow morning, I will move Yuan Niang."

"Well, then please Mama"

Wang Qifang waved her hand and let Mama Zhao feel free. In fact, the house in the Rose Garden has long been tidied up, just waiting for the smell inside to dissipate. Now that three or two days have passed, the moisture and smell inside must have disappeared, and it is time to move furniture and porcelain inside.

In the afternoon, after taking a nap with the two little buns, Wang Qifang got a report from Ziyuan, saying that the third princess had time to see her this afternoon, and asked her to go to the princess's mansion to visit the third princess as soon as possible.

changed into an elegantly colored skirt, carefully selected a few expensive but not fancy jewelry, and asked Wu's mother to comb a dignified and atmospheric high bun, Wang Qifang really dressed up, and then took Mama Zhao and a few close-fitting maids and mothers-in-law out of the door.

"Qi Niang, isn't the color of this skirt too plain, it's okay to wear it at home, but today I went to say hello to the third princess, but she was dressed so shabby, will the third princess think you don't value her?"

got into the carriage, and Mama Zhao persuaded worriedly.

"It's okay, it's just because I say hello to the third princess that I wear this," Wang Qifang patted the cotton half-arm smock with a blue treasure pattern printed on a white background of the moon, this dress is a sample, and its use is far greater than decoration and showing off, but when I saw Mama Zhao's worried appearance, I said casually: "Mama, you see, my body is not shabby, this golden butterfly is flying, and the Nanzhu necklace are all boutiques, this is called low-key luxury, it seems mediocre, but it is actually extremely luxurious." Hehe, what we want to see is the third princess, what precious jewelry and fabrics have you never seen? If I make a big fuss about clothing and jewelry, won't I compare my own shortcomings with the strengths of others? ”

Mama Zhao didn't know what low-key luxury was, but seeing that Wang Qifang was right, she must have made all the preparations, so she nodded reassuringly.

The carriage slowly drove out of Furong Fang, passed through the lively east and west squares, and came to the gate of the third princess's house.

"What is this?"

The third princess was dressed in a modified version of the Hu suit, and after beckoning Wang Qifang to sit down, she saw through the open door that the people in the courtyard were moving things inside. I saw that the things were the size of a clothes box, wrapped in navy blue coarse cloth, and the thumb-thick hemp rope was firmly tied, and it seemed that there were a lot of things in it.

"Back to the third princess, these are gifts from the concubine to the women's army on the Northwest Front"

When Wang Qifang heard the third princess's question, she quickly stood up and replied respectfully.

"Oh? Gift? The third princess glanced at the cyan package that was stomped outside, and then looked at Wang Qifang, who was low-eyed and pleasing to the eye, and said with a little inquiry: "The second young grandmother is too polite. A few days ago, your wife had already donated 10,000 taels of silver, and persuaded other wives and wives to donate a lot of silver taels, with this silver, the salaries of the soldiers in front and the winter military supplies have been settled, so you don't have to-"

How? Did Mrs. Zhao ask her to come? Want to ask for grace for the 10,000 taels of silver you donated?

can't blame the third princess for thinking too much, but just after the birthday banquet ended, Zhao Yanniang found the princess's mansion and asked her sister-in-law for a seal.

Sealed? Please, just 10,000 taels of silver to get a seal? She, Mrs. Zhao, can't help but think that Da Zhou's Lady is too worthless, right? Not to mention 10,000 taels, even 100,200,000 taels, it may not be able to be sealed - because this is not a matter of money at all.

"Third princess, the concubine is not donating silver"

Wang Qifang listened to the tone of the third princess, and seemed to be displeased, and hurriedly explained: "The concubine heard that the northwest is a bitter cold place. Now that it is the late autumn season, seeing that winter is coming soon, I want to help the soldiers in the northwest sew some winter clothes to protect against the cold. ”

"Winter coats?"

The third princess paused, and then nodded clearly, "That's right, the winter in the northwest is indeed much colder than in the Guannei." However, winter clothes are exempt, the imperial court has already prepared a large number of warm clothes, and the palace will transport them to the front line in a few days. ”

"The third princess doesn't know that what the concubine donated is not an ordinary thick coat, but a cotton coat that can withstand the bitter cold."

"Cotton clothes? Clothes made of cotton? ”

The third princess still didn't care much, and thought that Wang Qifang's so-called cotton clothes were similar to the ordinary thick clothes of Da Zhou, but they were sewn with several layers of cotton cloth.

P: Er, make up for yesterday's drops
