Chapter 017 Eccentric Yuan Niang

In Wang Qifang's memory, the impression about Liu Da*'s milk is not deep. On the one hand, because Wang Qifang's predecessor was too cowardly, she rarely went out of the yard, and she was not familiar with the concubines and sisters-in-law at home; On the other hand, it is the reason for the eldest and youngest grandmothers, in fact, it is not that they have a bad temperament, but only the most embarrassing person in the Zhao family, and Zhao Tianbai and his wife are the first to be recommended.

It stands to reason that Zhao Tianbai is the eldest son of the Zhao family, although he is a concubine, but because he is Zhao Yongnian's first son, for a long time after he was born, he was the only boy in the family, and he was favored by the late Mrs. Zhao, and was even raised by the old lady in her own yard.

Therefore, in the first few years, Zhao Tianbai's status in the Zhao family was quite transcendent, and Zhao Yongnian also valued him a lot, thinking about the eldest son everywhere, which also attracted the secret hatred of Mrs. Zhao, who had just given birth to her eldest daughter.

However, no matter how much she hates, there is no way, as the old saying goes, "the old son, the eldest grandson, the lifeblood of the old lady", for Mrs. Zhao, Zhao Tianbai is her heart, eyeballs, I can't wait to guard my grandson all the time, how can I let Mrs. Zhao touch her hands at will?

This situation has lasted for many years, and even Zhao Tianqing's birth has not changed.

It wasn't until Mrs. Zhao died of illness that Zhao Tianbai's status became delicate. On the one hand, he is the eldest grandson raised by his grandmother, and he has been deeply favored by his elders and father since he was a child, and his status in the Zhao family is not low; On the other hand, he is the son of a lowly concubine, and no matter how favored he is, he is just a concubine with no inheritance rights.

Originally, there was Mrs. Zhao who sheltered him, and he still had the hope of getting a share of the family property. But with the death of the old man, Zhao Tianbai immediately had no support.

Mrs. Zhao, her scheming is not ordinary, she saw that after the old lady died, Zhao Tianbai had no one to take care of, so in the name of her poor health, she directly left the few mothers-in-law who were serving by the old lady's side to serve by Zhao Tianbai's side, and she did not interfere in Zhao Tianbai's affairs at all.

Later, Mrs. Zhao not only disciplined her concubines strictly, but the old grandmothers were a little strict with Zhao Tianbai, and she also came forward to protect and stop her, looking like a loving mother.

In this way, Mrs. Zhao has a reputation for being kind to her concubine and tolerant and generous, but Zhao Tianbai, who has no one to discipline her, has been turned into a gentleman who plays with dogs and birds, and she doesn't do anything serious, but all the chaos that fights and makes trouble must have the shadow of Zhao Tianbai, so that Zhao Yongnian became more and more disappointed in this eldest son, until he finally regarded him as a waste.

As for the eldest and youngest grandmother Liu Shi Huiniang, she was born in the Liu family in Dengzhou, and she can be regarded as a scholar for generations. Judging from the identity alone, Liu's marriage to Zhao Tianbai is a bit of a marriage, because the Liu family's family background may not be as prominent as the Zhao family, but the Liu family is a concubine, and she is a talented and good-looking daughter, if it weren't for the fact that this family matter was negotiated by Mrs. Zhao herself, Zhao Tianbai would never have dreamed of marrying such a good lady.

To tell the truth, the Liu family was willing to agree to this family affair, but it was more or less on the face of Mrs. Zhao, thinking that although Zhao Tianbai was a concubine, he was favored, if the wife of the main house had nothing to do, wouldn't the Zhao family's huge property fall into his hands?

It's just that the next development only confirms the sentence: the idea is very plump, and the reality is very skinny

If it weren't for the fear of falling into the notoriety of untrustworthy, the parents of the Liu family really wanted to repent of their marriage after seeing the unmotivated Zhao Tianbai.

For the sake of fame and for the luck in the bottom of their hearts, Hui Niang and Lu were in that year, after the Liu family got the letter of marriage from the Zhao family, they married their daughter to the Zhao family with ten miles of red makeup according to the agreement.

After the Liu family married into the Zhao family, he realized that the elders of the family were too naïve, not to mention that Zhao Tianbai inherited the family's property, I am afraid that it will be lucky not to be swept away by Mrs. Zhao when the family is separated. She really didn't expect that her Lang Jun's position in the Zhao family was so embarrassing, and Mrs. Zhao's guard was so strict, she didn't give them a husband and wife at all.

But things have developed to this point, and it is too late to regret it, so Liu can only grit his teeth and endure it in the Zhao family: externally, he serves his mother-in-law in a proper manner, and internally, he takes the trouble to correct the bad habits of the prodigal son's husband......

Recalling this, Wang Qifang couldn't help but admire the smiling ** in front of her - in just seven or eight years, Hui Niang may not have completely reformed her husband, but at least she can let the eldest young master listen to her advice, and even in their West Cross Courtyard, everything is decided by the Liu family.

Being able to determine one's position in such a difficult environment and do his best to make life develop according to one's own wishes, Liu is by no means an ordinary person on this alone.

Wang Qifang secretly admired, but there was no expression on her face, she walked a few steps quickly to the front of Liu's family, and said with a very intimate attitude: "Since Qi Niang came back, she has been busy cleaning up the yard and tidying up housekeeping, and she has never visited her sister-in-law...... Qi Niang can't compensate her sister-in-law here, and I hope that my sister-in-law won't blame her."

The reason why Wang Qifang has an indifferent attitude is not because of the eyes of power, but because the relationship between her predecessor and the Liu family is not good, if she is close at first glance, the Liu family will definitely be suspicious - speak, her punishment of evil slaves has made many people in the Zhao family question her, and now that her plan has just begun, it is better to try to be as safe as possible.

It's a pity that Wang Qifang didn't know that her self-conscious alienated attitude still made Liu wary.

"Hehe, brother and sister are too polite," Liu's eyes flashed when she heard Wang Qifang's 'sister-in-law', and she seemed to be a little surprised by her reaction, but Liu's psychology is not ordinarily strong, after a short period of conquest, she quickly recovered her former appearance, and said with a smile: "We are all a family, where do we need these false courtesies." By the way, where are you going? Are you going to say hello to your wife? ”

"That's right, isn't this too wife's birthday coming soon, Qi Niang just came back, and I don't know what arrangements are at home," the other party asked, Wang Qifang naturally couldn't say 'No, I'm going to see my daughter', so she had to follow her words and say, "Sister-in-law, my wife is celebrating her birthday this year, are we going to be grander?" ”

"Well, yes," Liu listened to Qifang's words, nodded approvingly, and then sighed as if thinking of something, "Alas, it's all because the sister-in-law is too useless to help his wife share the housework." Let her old man be so old, and worry about family affairs...... Hehe, now it's okay, brother and sister, you're back, and my wife can rest well."

Belch? What does Grandma mean by that?

Wang Qifang was secretly surprised in her heart, of course she wouldn't think that Su Shi was taking the opportunity to complain about his wife, if she really meant that, then she was not the Liu Da * milk who could suppress the prodigal husband. And even if she is dissatisfied with his wife's partiality, Liu will never express it in front of her, his wife's daughter-in-law.

But now, what does she mean by that?

Or is it implying something?

Wang Qifang had doubts, but there was no expression on her face, and she chuckled a few times and then turned the topic to his wife's birthday gift, "Alas, I am a young and casual person, and I have been away from home for some days, I don't know what my wife likes recently...... The sister-in-law stays by his wife's side every day, and she must know her wife's preferences, and I hope that the sister-in-law will give Qi Niang some guidance."

"......" Liu Shi suffocated again when she heard this, her inquiring gaze swept over Wang Qifang's sincere face, and finally tugged at the corners of her mouth, and said with a smile: "Hey, my younger brother and sister also know me, I have always been clumsy, where can I guess my wife's preferences?" Birthday gift, as long as you do your best, my wife won't blame her, right? ”

"What my sister-in-law said is that I thought about things to the left"

Wang Qifang laughed twice, and then followed behind the young grandmother and went to Mrs. Zhao's yard to greet her mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law talked for a while, and Mrs. Zhao took advantage of the lack of excuse and sent the guests with a teacup.

The two of them stood outside the courtyard and said a few words, and the young grandmother led a string of beautiful rice dumplings and left the main courtyard in a swaying manner; Wang Qifang and Mama Zhao turned around to see Yuan Niang.

"Mama, my sister-in-law is not a simple character, right?"

After Wang Qifang asked Yuan Niang in detail about her life these days, she hugged Yuan Niang and sat on the big kang near the window, chatting with Zhao Mama about the bright sunshine. She thought of the glint that appeared from time to time in Liu's phoenix eyes, and asked in a sure tone.

"Of course," Mama Zhao took the refreshments offered by the little girl, poured a cup of hot tea, and handed it to Wang Qifang with her own hands, then sat on the small pestle on the side, and said to Wang Qifang: "I heard that the eldest and young grandmother is the first old lady to personally photograph, with the old lady's love for the eldest young master, if the Liu family is not good, can she leave it to the eldest young master?" ”

"Hmm, what about the eldest young master?" Wang Qifang's impression of this eldest uncle was very vague, she rummaged through all the memory fragments in her mind, but she couldn't find a detailed record of Zhao Tianbai. Even, she couldn't remember what Zhao Tianbai's facial features were.

However, somehow, the moment she saw the Liu family, Wang Qifang suddenly had a strange feeling - the eldest young master of the Zhao family was really as unbearable as the world evaluated?

You must know that the year the old lady went, the eldest young master was ten years old. At this age, in his previous life, he was just a schoolboy who nestled in the arms of his parents; If it can be placed in the inner courtyard of Da Zhou's deep house, the ten-year-old young master is already a half-adult who can be sensible and calculating.

Even if it becomes bad and mixed, it won't become so complete, right?

"Mother, I can't trust my uncle"

Yuan Niang coquettishly shrunk in Wang Qifang's arms, eating fruit quietly, while listening to the conversation between her mother and Mama Zhao with her ears pricked up. When she heard her mother mention the uncle in the West Cross Courtyard, her little face suddenly became solemn, and she couldn't help but exhale softly.

"Huh? Yuan Niang has seen an uncle? ”

Wang Qifang was stunned, she didn't expect her daughter to pay so much attention to the affairs of these inner courtyards, and she didn't think about it deeply, just because the child was precocious, and after occasionally seeing Zhao Tianbai, she had a bad impression of him.

"......" Yuan Niang hesitated for a long time, and finally didn't say anything reasonable, just muttered: "Anyway, anyway, the uncle and the aunt are not good people, and the mother still has to be careful of them." ”

P: Hehe, because of the lack of updates, a certain Sa has been embarrassed to ask for tickets, but now it's the end of the month, and the tickets should be emptied. What, the extra votes are good for a certain Sako? A certain Sa covered his mouth and snickered
