Chapter 144: Such Relatives (3)

Wang Qifang expected it well, and half an hour later, her garden really had guests.

But it's a pity that she got the beginning right, but she didn't guess the character, because the guest who came was not Zheng's companion or the grandmother next to her, but Wang Jiufang, the ninth lady of the Wang family.

"Sister, you haven't had dinner yet, my mother said, you just came back, and the house doesn't know yet, and the big kitchen doesn't know what to send you, so I haven't sent ......."

Wang Jiufang was followed by four girls, two mothers-in-law, these two mothers-in-law each carried a food box in their hands, she walked to the main room of the Xiyuan, gently pressed her nose with a handkerchief, frowned slightly, and seemed to be very dissatisfied with the taste in the room.

However, the moment she saw Wang Qifang, she quickly put down her veil, her face was full of smiles, and she pointed to the two mothers-in-law behind her and said, "However, my mother remembered my sister in her heart, and after handling the chores, she hurriedly took out five taels of silver from her own body and asked the big kitchen to prepare dinner for my sister." No, the meal was just right, so it was delivered. ”

As she spoke, Wang Jiufang waved her hand, signaling the mother-in-law behind her to hand over a food box to Mama Zhao, and then placed the remaining one on the small table near the window.

"The time is a little rushed, and the big kitchen still has to stew soup for the old lady, so I only made these few dishes for my sister," Wang Jiufang came to the small table very invisibly, and ordered the food on the table with her white fingers, like an explanation, and like an invitation, she said softly, "Sister, you taste it and see if it suits the taste." ”

"Oh good"

Wang Qifang was very surprised to see Wang Jiufang, and she hadn't come back to her senses at this time. She followed Wang Jiufang's fingers blankly, and her eyes swept over the steaming meal on the table - it was really freshly made, Wang Qifang spoke in her heart, presumably it didn't take more than two quarters of an hour to make and send it away, right?

"Heh~~, this is about the same," different from Wang Qifang's sluggishness, Zhao Mama took the food box neatly, held it in one hand, and lifted the lid of the box with the other, the food box is three-layered, each layer has two vegetable plates, and the innermost layer also has three small bowls of rice, rice is very ordinary white rice, this is a very common thing in ordinary people's homes, but the Wang family with a rich family seems to be a little shabby.

Seeing this bowl of white rice, Mama Zhao snorted dissatisfiedly and said, "Hmph, has the Wang family been defeated, and the first-class grandma has also fallen to the point of eating white rice?" Or does the wife think that the old slave is a newcomer, so she fools me with this kind of thing? ”

Hearing such an unceremonious accusation from Mama Zhao, the smile on Wang Jiufang's face suddenly collapsed, and she was about to teach her a lesson. I saw Wang Qifang timidly pulling her sleeves, and said pitifully, "Sister, don't be angry, grandma is old, and her speech is a little unpleasant, in fact, she doesn't think so, she, she is very grateful to his wife." ”

"Qi Niang, you, why are you-"

Mama Zhao seemed to be very angry at Wang Qifang's cowardly performance, she pointed at Wang Qifang tremblingly, and reprimanded with hatred.

"Mama, didn't you say you're hungry, hurry up and eat," Wang Qifang saw that Mama Zhao was angry, and she trembled violently, she quietly glanced at Wang Jiufang, who had a pretty face, and said to Mama Zhao with a little pleading, "Mrs. is also kind to bring us food, Mama is tired of a day or go to eat." Qingyu, go and serve Mama's meal"

Qingyu listened to Wang Qifang's instructions, and did not rush to answer, but raised her eyes to look at Mama Zhao, and after seeing Mama Zhao nodding angrily, she simply agreed, "Yes, Qi Niang"

As soon as the words fell, I saw Qingyu reach out and take the food box in Mama Zhao's hand, and respectfully followed Mama Zhao to the wing room on the east side.

"Sister, you're too presumptuous, there's no master in your eyes."

Wang Jiufang's eyes flashed with a fierce color, frowned and watched Mama Zhao leave, took a deep breath, she calmed down the resentment in her chest, and when she turned around, her face had returned to the original coquettishness, she said unhappily, "Sister, it's not a lot of things to do with my sister, we are all daughters of the dignified Taiyuan Wang family, noble birth, pure blood, I don't know how many queens and concubines have been born in the previous dynasty, how can I let a slave be held hostage?" ”

"I ......" Wang Qifang lowered her head, grabbed the handkerchief with her hands uneasily, and was bored for a long time, and only squeezed out one sentence, "...... Mama didn't mean to, she's usually fine, but she might be too tired today. ”

"Alas~~" Wang Jiufang let out a long sigh and shook her head very depressed, "Sister, I'm ...... Forget it, you'd better eat first."

To be honest, if it weren't for some schemes, Wang Jiufang really didn't want to talk to such a useless woman. Especially this woman is actually her half-sister, but she is born with such a weak and deceitful appearance, which really ruined such a noble bloodline of their Wang family, and made her feel ashamed when she saw it

"Well, has my sister eaten it?"

Wang Qifang saw that Wang Jiufang finally stopped holding on to Mama Zhao's affairs, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a shy smile, "If not, let's eat with my sister." ”

"I, I've eaten it, my sister can eat it herself."

Wang Jiufang glanced at the food on the table with disgust, and secretly disdainful in her heart, hey, she shouldn't eat such a bad thing. In addition, she already looked at Wang Qiniang unpleasantly, and if she ate with her again, she might choke, and even if she didn't, she would have indigestion.

"Okay, that sister is free."

Wang Qifang could hear the disgust in people's tones, she smiled indifferently, sat on the edge of the kang, and didn't care about cleaning her hands, so she picked up the chopsticks and ate them.

Wang Jiufang thought that the mattress on the kang was too old and didn't want to sit at all, so she stood in the room and pretended to be unintentionally touching around.

When her eyes came into contact with Wang Qifang's rude meal, the corners of her mouth couldn't help twitching, and she hurriedly moved her gaze to the side, and said secretly in her heart, tsk, her sister is also the daughter of the Wang family and the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, even if she is an abandoned woman now, she shouldn't be so vulgar, she is even worse than their Wang family's housekeepers.

"Sister, is there anything missing in the house? What is lacking must be told to my mother, although my mother is now pressed by the third aunt and has too many restrictions, but for her sister's requirements, she will definitely find a way to do it for her sister. ”

After turning for a while, and finally waited for Wang Qifang to swallow all the rice grains in the bowl, Wang Jiufang covered her nose with a handkerchief and said affectionately.

"Eun, I know, my mother is very good to me." Wang Qifang took a half-old handkerchief, wiped the oil stains and rice grains on the side of her mouth, listened to Wang Jiufang's words, and asked puzzledly, "Huh?" My sister said that her mother was pressed by the third aunt? What's going on? Hasn't my mother always presided over the middle feed of the family? And everyone in the clan knows that my mother is the most virtuous and virtuous person, and she is also a capable person who manages the inner house, even my mother-in-law, oh no, Mrs. Zhao praises my mother for being a virtuous woman. ”

When Wang Qifang heard this, she hurriedly helped the Zheng family say good things, and it was hard for her to say such a lot of words so fluently in front of the Wang family for the first time.

Of course, in Wang Jiufang's opinion, she was quite satisfied. After all, the silly sister is less wary of her mother, the better the chance that their plan will succeed.

"Alas, my sister doesn't know anything."

Wang Jiufang easily persuaded herself, sat on the broken and damp mattress next to half of her buttocks, and pretended to say, "This third aunt has always looked down on our mother......"

I have to say that Wang Jiufang's ability to tell right and wrong is still quite big, Wang Qifang spoke in her heart, if she hadn't learned about the various grievances of the Wang family in advance, and now after listening to Wang Jiufang's almost bloody story, she would definitely listen to her words, thinking that the third aunt Xiao Zheng relied on her mother's high background and mother-in-law to favor her, and bullied and embarrassed her sister-in-law everywhere.

It's a pity that Wang Jiufang's story is well told, but I can't bear that Wang Qifang has already made the whole thing clear and will never fall for her.

However, in front of her, she is playing a weak Miss Mu who has no scheming, and now when she hears that someone oppresses her mother-in-law like this, she naturally can't help but express it, only to see Wang Qifang frowning, and said unhappily, "How can the third aunt be like this, her mother is her sister-in-law, and it stands to reason that she should respect her sister-in-law." Even if there is something negligent in the mother's actions, she should remind her in time, how can she-"

"It's not, as the saying goes, the eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, although the old lady is alive, but the mother has always been very good to the third uncle. When he married his third aunt, his mother specially picked a lot of things from her dowry and gave them to the third uncle as a dowry. ”

Wang Jiufang lowered her head, the handkerchief in her hand kept rubbing, and her face also had a very unhappy expression for her mother.

Hmph, it's my dowry, right?

Wang Qifang also lowered her head, a hint of mockery flashed in her eyes, and said in her heart, why, she got to the point so quickly?

"Huh? Sister, what are you? ”

Wang Jiufang waited for a long time, but she still didn't see Wang Qifang say anything, she was inevitably a little anxious, so she simply pointed to the jewelry box with a half-open lid on the kang cabinet behind Wang Qifang and asked.

"Oh, this is my jewelry," Wang Qifang hurriedly raised her head and followed Wang Jiufang's line of sight, she saw that Wang Jiufang seemed to be very interested in her jewelry box, so she got up and hugged the box.

The dishes and chopsticks on the small table have long been cleaned up, Wang Qifang put the box on the small table, opened the box, "Sister, please see"

"Huh? This flower is red gold, isn't it? Is it inlaid with multicolored glass? ”

Wang Jiufang picked up the multicolored glazed flower on the top of the box, her face was full of blazing expressions, and she caressed the fine lines on the flower with great care.

"Of course, Miss Jiu, this Jin Tian is the dowry left to her by our Qi Niang's biological mother, and it is also a boutique in the inner palace of the Great Zhou Palace, a treasure that can't be bought with any amount of money on the market."

Here, Mama Zhao had already finished eating, and when she heard what was being cleaned up in the house, she was worried that Wang Jiufang would take advantage of Qi Niang, so she hurriedly rushed over.

"It's so beautiful," Wang Jiufang of course could hear the meaning of Mama Zhao's words, but she didn't pay attention to this at all, but liked to take Jin Tian and gesture on her sideburns, and finally, she finally found a suitable position to put the hairpin down, tilted her head, and asked Wang Qifang with a smile, "Sister, is it good-looking." ”

"Good, good-looking"

When Wang Qifang saw Mama Zhao, she seemed a little timid, and she said in a whisper.

"Hehe, I also think it looks good, sister, the sixth day of the first month of next month is the annual plum banquet in Lufu, I haven't had suitable jewelry, why don't you lend me this hairpin with you." Don't worry, sister, I don't want you, I'm borrowing, and when the plum banquet is over, I'll return it to you."

P: Eh, thank you for the reminder, a certain Sa is really confused, I didn't even find this mistake, hehe, go change it immediately
