What was the reaction of the people of the Zhao family in the capital, Wang Qifang, who was far away in Qingzhou, did not know. Whether Master Zhao was angry, whether the second young master was reprimanded, or Mrs. Zhao and Aunt Su's respective minds changed slightly, these Wang Qifang didn't know. Compared to people who seemed insignificant to her, she valued the attitude of the third uncle of Haicheng more.

It's just that what makes Wang Qifang feel uneasy and anxious is that after Chen Dongsheng came back from Haicheng yesterday, he didn't bring back the third uncle and the third aunt to make a clear statement.

"Mama, what do you mean by the third uncle? Are you blaming me for not saying hello to him and his aunt a few years ago? ”

In the bright spring light, Wang Qifang casually reclined on the chaise longue in the small garden in the backyard, twisting a bamboo skewer in her hand, and a plate of tomatoes cut into orange petals was placed on the small table beside her. She absentmindedly chewed the tomatoes that had just been sent to her mouth, and when she thought of her third uncle's lukewarm reply, she asked Mama Zhao worriedly.

"Hehe, Qi Niang, you can rest assured!" Mama Zhao held a half-wet handkerchief in her hand, and after seeing Wang Qifang finish eating the tomatoes, she carefully wiped her hands with a handkerchief, and when she heard Wang Qifang's words, she lowered her eyes and was silent, and then raised a soothing smile, and said: "The third uncle has always had the best relationship with his wife, and he listened to Qi Niang's situation, maybe he is more distressed." Perhaps, the letter questioning the Zhao family has been sent to the capital! ”

"That'...... Why didn't the third uncle bring me a word? "Wang Qifang sent a wordless letter with the idea of 'silence is better than sound', but why did this third uncle Li reply to a wordless letter? Could it be that his old man is also pretending to be a mystery? Or does he have nothing to say to himself?

"Didn't the second dog say it, when he was leaving, the third uncle specially instructed him to tell you that you must take good care of yourself, this, this is not the third uncle's words?"

To be honest, after leaving the Li family for more than 20 years, Mama Zhao rarely had the opportunity to meet the two uncles of the Li family. She is not completely sure whether the third uncle can stand up for Qi Niang as he did with his wife. After all, people's feelings are deepened in mutual interactions, and even if there is a blood relationship, if they do not contact each other for more than 20 years, they will gradually become estranged.

What's more, Qi Niang was a little temporarily cramming this time, and when she was in trouble, she remembered that she had two maternal uncles, and only then did she think of greeting her uncles.

Well, it stands to reason that the two uncles are not small people, and the only variable is the two uncles. Don't......

"Well, then let's wait!"

Wang Qifang spread her hands and let Mama Zhao help her wipe it. After wiping the juice off her hands, she sat up straight and looked at the newly completed rooms next door to the garden, "By the way, have you bought the glass?" ”

"Oh, I'll let Ergou go to the county seat with the size early this morning. Qingyang is a small place, there is only one glass workshop, and it mainly produces some cups, saucers, bowls and jars, like the large glass wall you requested, which has never been produced. Mama Zhao put the wet handkerchief on the small table, followed Wang Qifang's gaze, and also looked at the rooms without windows, "Qi Niang, there is no glass on the windows of our main room, why spend the money on the hot spring pool?" ”

"Oh, it's nothing, I just thought about taking advantage of the temperature of the hot spring and taking advantage of the hot spring pool to have a few conservatories by the way, so that when it's cold, I can also grow some fresh fruits and vegetables in the hot spring conservatory!"

Wang Qifang retracted her gaze, and a suspicious flush rose on her cheeks. Er, lying to Mama Zhao, who takes care of herself like a relative, is still a little uneasy and guilty for Wang Qifang. In fact, she built a conservatory, more to cover up the things in her space. A tomato made her spend a lot of time to explain, and if there are other fresh fruits and vegetables in the future, then there must be more lies?!

The appearance of hot springs gave her a more reasonable explanation. Because, in Dazhou, it is not without that the owners of the farms who use the constant temperature of the hot springs to grow out-of-season fruits and vegetables, and the crops planted are irrigated by the spring water, and the taste is better and more delicious.

"I said, as soon as we dug out the hot spring here, you hurriedly asked Ergou to move the tomatoes planted in the small yard to the spring, it turned out that it had been planned for a long time!" Mama Zhao listened to Wang Qifang's vague explanation, and suddenly realized, she nodded approvingly, "Yes, I remember that the uncle's wife's maiden home in Beijing also has a hot spring Zhuangzi, and there is also a greenhouse built on the Zhuangzi, and in winter, you can also eat fresh fruits and vegetables...... The steward of Zhuangzi was also shrewd, and signed a contract with the restaurant in the capital, and bought those melons and vegetables at a high price. ”

"Uncle?" It's okay not to mention this person, when it comes to the uncle of the Li family, Wang Qifang has always been puzzled, "Mama, uncle, Er, not uncle, I mean aunt She used to treat me, no, I mean ......"

It's really hard to speak, Wang Qifang can't figure it out, the predecessor of the deity was wronged in her mother-in-law's house, and she couldn't ask for help from her third uncle who was far away in Haicheng, so why didn't she contact her uncle in the city?

Also, the eldest uncle is an official in Beijing, and the eldest aunt is the wife of the official eunuch family, and she usually has a certain social circle, and she chats a lot with many noble ladies, so she should know Wang Qifang's situation in the Zhao family, how can she ignore it? !

"Alas, Qi Niang, I understand what you mean," Mama Zhao had a touch of helplessness in her eyes, "You want to ask, why are you in the same capital, the eldest uncle knows that you are having a hard time in the Zhao family, but he has never asked, right?" Actually, I don't blame the eldest uncle and his wife. A few years ago, when you first married into the Zhao family, the eldest uncle was still serving as a royal historian in the south, and the eldest uncle's wife was staying in his hometown to serve the seriously ill old lady. It wasn't until the year before last that the eldest uncle stayed in the capital, and the eldest uncle's wife entered the capital last year...... "At this time, Qi Niang has been completely held hostage by the Su family, let alone greeting the eldest uncle, but she can't even send a letter."

"In addition, the Zhao family is an emerging family, and it is inextricably linked with the Auxiliary Kingdom, and has always been the most loyal to the royal family...... More than ten years ago, when the former emperor was on the throne, he was quite afraid of the huge network of the five major families, and he planned to start weakening the power of the five major families...... After more than ten years of differentiation in the imperial court, the influence of the five major families has decreased year by year, especially three years ago, the government has a new policy for the five major families, on the one hand, vigorously support the new upstarts, and on the other hand, make every effort to reduce the influence of the five surnames and seven hopes...... Although the Zhao family has marriages with the five major families, after all, they belong to the emerging family, and they are loyal supporters of the royal family, and they are very active in supporting the new policies of the imperial court; As one of the five major families, the Li family naturally wants to protect the rights and interests of the five surnames, and the Zhao family has become an antagonist......"

OK, understand, Wang Qifang reluctantly returned to the couch, and the originally somewhat chaotic thoughts were instantly opened: to put it simply, the Zhao family and the Li family (or Wang family), one is a new nobleman, the other is an old family, when there is a fundamental conflict of interests, the in-law relationship between the two parties is much weaker. It is not difficult to explain why Mrs. Zhao, the head of the Zhao family, turned a blind eye to what happened to Wang Qifang.

"According to this, not only the Li family, even if the eldest brother returns from a study tour, the Wang family will not stand up for me?"

The Wang family is an old family, with branches all over the country, and there are not a few protégés. In this smokeless battlefield of the dispute between the rights of the old and new nobles, the Wang family will definitely stand in the camp of the old family and unswervingly PK with the emerging family to the end.

And she, Wang Qifang, a chess piece that has long been forgotten by the Wang family, I am afraid that no one will pay attention to it. Even if that person is her brother-in-law?

"Of course not! Qi Niang, what I said was before, now," Zhao Mama rubbed Wang Qifang's frowning brows, and said with a smile: "Since last spring, wars have occurred frequently in the northwest, especially in Gaochang and Tubo...... If the imperial court wants to use troops in the northwest, then money and grain are indispensable, and two-thirds of the world's money and grain are in the hands of the five major families, at this time, how can the imperial court continue to implement the policy of weakening the family? "Mama Zhao is not an ignorant woman, even in the courtyard of the deep house, she can find out a lot of the latest news.

Oh? And such a complex historical background? Wang Qifang tilted her head and thought for a while, "Since that's the case, then let's wait." "If the third uncle is willing to support her, it is estimated that there will be news in the next few days.

In addition, Aster's girl should already be on the way, and after she enters Beijing, the show will really begin.

"Ahh

Aster sneezed N times in embarrassment, her palm-sized little face was covered with abnormal flushing, and her small nose was twisted red.

"Shion, are you alright? We're in the village and town, I'm going to get a doctor for you? ”

Feng Tiezhu rubbed his stiff neck helplessly, just after leaving Qingzhou, the little girl was sick. He looked up at the sun setting in the west, and said with patience in his heart.

"Steward Feng, yes, I'm sorry, Ah Sneeze, it's all my fault for delaying the hurry, Ah Sneeze, delaying the journey. Don't worry, I'm fine, let's hurry. Ah~Ah! ”

While sneezing non-stop, Ziyuan said sorry pitifully, two bubbles of tears were already turning in his eyes, look at that posture, as long as Feng Tiezhu said a heavy word, or a little bit of blame, he was greeted by the little girl's crying!

"......" Feng Tiezhu shook his whip and said in a muffled voice: "Forget it, it's important to find a place to see a doctor first." Young grandma handed you over to me, and it is my responsibility to take good care of you! ”

"Smack!"

Li Suo shook the whip, Feng Tiezhu drove the carriage to the village and town on the fork in the official road with a sinking face, and the premonition of being calculated in his heart became stronger and stronger.

In the bumpy carriage, Ziyuan put down the handkerchief to wipe her nose, there were still a little tears left in the corners of her eyes, but her small mouth bent out a light smile of triumph - young grandma, you can rest assured, Ziyuan will definitely complete the task you assigned!
