Chapter 046: Letter from Big Brother

“…… However, there is also a condition for this palace."

The third princess saw Wang Qifang's face happy, and her conversation suddenly changed, and there was a turning point.

"What conditions, the third princess said"

Although Wang Qifang was also a little worried that the third princess would put forward excessive conditions, since she asked for others, the conditions should also be set by others.

"There are a total of seventeen retired women's soldiers in this palace, six of whom have been injured in the past, and, and they all have various degrees of disability-"

Wang Qifang understood, she didn't wait for the third princess to finish speaking, so she nodded and responded: "Princess, don't worry, as long as these women's soldiers are willing to go back with the concubines, the concubines will definitely treat them well...... Well, the treatment, the same as the rest of the women's army. ”

"Second young grandmother, did you hear what Bengong said just now? Even if they can't help you take care of the shop, or can't do any heavy work, but need you to ask a doctor for medicine from time to time, are you willing to do that? ”

Seeing that Wang Qifang agreed so simply, the third princess asked with a little suspicion.

"Third princess, the concubine body just said that my Wang Qiniang is a businessman, but she is also a common person of the Great Zhou. If you just want a woman who knows martial arts to come to the shop, you can ask the Chivalrous League for help. Presumably the third princess has also heard that Li Jingtian, the leader of the Chivalry League, is the distant cousin of the concubine, and the concubine also has a cooperative relationship with the Li family in Pingzhou. ”

Wang Qifang naturally pointed out that the third princess had investigated her, just like the third princess once sent someone to Haicheng to investigate her, after Wang Qifang returned to the capital, she also asked the branch president of the Xia Ke League in the capital to help her investigate the situation of some prestigious ladies in the capital, including the third princess.

In fact, if it weren't for a detailed investigation report from the Chivalrous League, Wang Qifang would not have thought of starting with the retired women's army and getting in touch with the three princesses who have always been iron-faced and selfless.

"But with such abundant resources, the concubine chose some retired women's soldiers, more to express a kind of respect."

"Respect?"

The third princess obviously didn't expect to hear such an answer, she looked at Wang Qifang deeply, and her sharp eyes seemed to want to see some clues on Wang Qifang's round face like a full moon.

"That's right, since ancient times, the world has believed that it is a man's business to defend the family and the country, and women should be in charge of housework at home in a proper manner. Only the third princess led a dozen personal attendants to help the first emperor quell the Gyeonggi rebellion...... From a dozen female attendants to 10,000 women's iron-blooded army, from guarding Gyeonggi to the east and west, the blood, tears and bitterness in it are only known to the three princesses and those women's soldiers......"

Wang Qifang sincerely recalled the history of the three princesses and the women's army in her mind, in order to highlight the heroine image of the three princesses, she was even more selectively amnesia, erasing the Pingyang princess who was the first of the women's army in the previous dynasty, and directly pushed the three princesses to an unprecedented height.

"As a woman, the concubine has great respect for the three princesses who bravely killed the enemy and the women's army under her command, and now she has the opportunity to contribute to these heroines, and the concubine feels very honored."

Listening to Wang Qifang's words, the third princess was silent for a long time.

"Well, since the second young grandmother values the soldiers under the command of this palace so much, then this palace will hand them over to you, I hope you can keep your promise and take good care of them...... Although there are many exaggerated elements in what you just said, one thing is not wrong, those retired women's soldiers are all brave soldiers who followed the palace to fight in the west. They have made great contributions to the court and deserve the respect of the court and the world. ”

The third princess did not accept Wang Qifang's admiration completely, she said in an extremely firm tone, "Today I handed them over to you, just because I rushed to your 'respect', and I also believe in your 'respect'...... Wang Qiniang, I hope you don't live up to the trust of this palace"

"The third princess can rest assured, the concubine will do what she says"

Wang Qifang stood up, gave a deep salute, and promised again.

After receiving Wang Qifang's repeated promises, the third princess summoned the seventeen retired ladies who stayed in the princess's mansion, first told Wang Qifang about hiring them with a high salary, and then introduced the people present to Wang Qifang one by one.

"Huh~~ It's okay, it's okay, none of these people are too seriously injured"

Mama Zhao followed Wang Qifang closely, and naturally heard the conversation between the third princess and her own Qi Niang. At first, when she heard the third princess say that she was "disabled", Mama Zhao was a little worried, for fear that Wang Qifang would keep some people who could not be used for the sake of face - you must know that the shop that Wang Qifang said will be managed by her family Erlang in the future. If they are all people who lack arms and legs, they can't do any work, but they receive a high salary for nothing, which makes Erlang how to do a good job in the store

Therefore, when the third princess called everyone up, Mama Zhao was more concerned than Wang Qifang. Seeing the six injured women, some injured their arms, some injured their legs, and some of them had facial features, although their movements were not as agile as other women's troops, but the momentum was still fierce after all.

En, yes, yes, there are such female guards to help guard the shop, and behind them is a high-powered third princess, she wants to see if there is an idea in the capital that dares to hit the shop without long eyes.

Suddenly, Mama Zhao seemed to understand why Wang Qifang had to ask the retired women's army to help.

Here, Wang Qifang recognized seventeen heroic retired veterans, and over there, the people of the princess's mansion have counted all the three thousand sets of cotton clothes and moved them into the warehouse.

When Wang Qifang returned to Furong Fang, most of the more than a dozen carriages were empty, and only some of them were left to help the women's army pull simple luggage.

"Second young grandmother, you're back"

As soon as she walked into the inner courtyard, before she walked into the peony garden, Wang Qifang saw the purple plants that had been waiting for a long time.

"What's wrong? What's going on at home? ”

Seeing Zizhu's relieved look, Wang Qifang couldn't help but ask worriedly.

"Back to the second young grandmother, everything is fine at home, but a visitor came"

Zizhu quickly followed Wang Qifang's side and whispered: "Not long after you went out, the cousin of the Zheng family came. The slave said that you are out, so it is better to ask her to go back to the guest room first, and then go to see her when you come back. ”

"Well, and then?"

Wang Qifang asked Mama Zhao to send someone to find Zhao Erlang, and asked in a deep voice.

"But, it just so happened that the third young master woke up at this time, and the cousin girl heard the crying, so she went straight in, and said something while walking, she was not an outsider, and now that the second young grandmother is not there, she will help to see the young master and the young lady." Among the men of the third generation of the Zhao family, Xiaoxin Ge'er ranks third, so everyone calls him the third young master.

"What?" Wang Qifang's face suddenly sank, and her tone became a little stern: "You let her hug Xiaoxin'er?" Kindness? ”

"No, no, you have already explained to the slaves and maids, saying that except for you and the nurse, no one is allowed to hug the young master and the young lady without your permission, the slave and maid remember," Zizhu felt Wang Qifang's displeasure, and explained in a busy voice: "The third young master is still held by the nurse, Qingyun and Qingyu are also guarding the house, and the cousin can't even touch the placket of the little new brother." ”

"Well, yes, I still remember my instructions," after listening to Zizhu's words, Wang Qifang breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Where is she now, still in the peony garden?" ”

"Yes," Zizhu nodded, "At first, she didn't hug the third young master, and her face was a little ugly, and then she saw that the little new brother was very cute, so she eased her emotions and laughed and teased the third young master." Later, when the third young master was tired of playing, he was carried to sleep by the nurse, and the cousin refused to leave, but pulled a book from the shelf and read it alone......

"Oh~" Wang Qifang raised her eyebrows slightly, and then nodded: "Okay, I know." By the way, did she say something about me? ”

"No, it's just that when she came, Mrs. Wang asked her to bring you a letter, so she must have come to deliver a letter to you."

Zizhu couldn't figure out this Zheng Sanniang, and after listening to Wang Qifang's question, she lowered her head and thought about it, and said hesitantly.

Wang Qifang didn't ask anything more, and her complexion didn't change much, only her steps stepped up a lot.

"Zheng Sanniang visited her cousin, how is her cousin?"

After reading a travelogue, Zheng Sanniang gently rubbed her sour neck, and when she looked up, she saw a group of girls walking in with Wang Qifang in her arms. She hurriedly threw away the book, walked a few steps briskly to meet it, and bent her knees slightly to make a blessing.

"Hehe, the third sister is in a hurry, let's go, let's talk in the house"

Wang Qifang raised her right hand and cordially beckoned Zheng Sanniang to enter the door.

The group came to the hall and sat down, Wang Qifang said to Zheng Sanniang with a smile: "Yuan Niang's yard has not been vacated yet, and today I will grieve my sister to continue to live in the guest room." ”

"Oh, don't be in a hurry, it's all Sanniang's abruptness, which makes my cousin 'embarrassed'."

Just as Mrs. Zhao praised, Zheng Sanniang's tone of voice was sweet, which made people feel comfortable listening to it. It's just that the tone of her voice is a little unpleasant.

"Where, you are a guest, and you are a relative of my mother's family, it is easy to come to the house, I can only be happy, where will there be any 'embarrassment'. Besides, I have long wanted Yuan Niang to move to the Rose Garden closer to me, but my wife is always reluctant. Fortunately, the third sister came, and she voted for his wife again, otherwise his wife would not have ...... Oh, speaking of which, my sister really wants to thank the third sister."

Wang Qifang took out the handkerchief, pressed the corner of her mouth, and said with a needle hidden in her mouth.

"......" Zheng Sanniang was choked, she originally wanted to find out Wang Qifang's bottom, but she didn't expect to help her invisibly.

"By the way, I just heard from people that 'Mother' has a letter to me?"

I don't know whether it was intentional or unintentional, when Wang Qifang said the word 'mother', her tone was extraordinarily heavy.

"Not only does my aunt have a letter to my sister, but also my eldest cousin who has just returned to Qingyuan also has a letter to you."

Zheng Sanniang said as she took out two envelopes from her sleeve pocket and handed them to Zizhu who was serving on the side.

"Big cousin?"

Isn't that her brother, the eldest young master of the Wang family, Wang Jinyu?

P: Woo, I originally wanted to refine Jin Xueyue's comment, but I didn't expect to click 'delete' by mistake, sorry, sorry
