Chapter 018: Magical Plants (1)

After the first day of the Lunar New Year, Wang Qifang closed the door of the peony garden and took the child to nest in winter.

As for the disturbing spring banquets and flower-viewing banquets outside, she reluctantly showed up to those who were familiar with each other, and those who were not familiar or caught up with her did not go.

Wang Qifang's practice of avoiding it did not arouse the disgust of the ladies in the capital. There are no secrets in the capital, and the matter of the second young master of the Zhao family sharing the property and living separately in one breath has not been made public, but this matter has long been spread in the upper class society of the capital. The wives and young grandmothers of the major mansions also knew that Wang Qifang was going to separate the Zhao family after the New Year, and naturally they would not think that there was anything wrong with Wang Qifang refusing to show up in the name of the Zhao Mansion.

The only one affected by the incident was Zheng Sanniang.

Wang Qifang refused to go out to visit, and Mrs. Zhao didn't want to take her eldest daughter-in-law to make friends with a noble lady, so she thought of Zheng Sanniang's capable appearance when dealing with housework, and calculated in her heart that Zheng Sanniang would be a member of the Zhao family, although she was just a noble concubine, but fortunately, her family background was noble, and taking it out would not be an insult to those wives and young grandmothers.

As a result, the ladies in the capital found that every time Mrs. Zhao went to a banquet, she always brought a little lady dressed as a girl by her side. At first, everyone thought it was a distant relative of Mrs. Zhao, but later after inquiring, they found out that it was Zhao Erlang's future concubine.

Hearing this news, the ladies in the capital were very disdainful, and some were upset with Wang Qifang - look, this is the Zhao family's style, just fell a concubine with no rules, and the eldest lady has not yet left the court, and she has raised a second one. By the way, there are many people who also despise the Zheng family, what happened to the Zheng family in Xingyang, it is not that they are in a hurry to give the daughter of the family to others as concubines, and they have ruined the reputation of the five surnames and seven wangs in vain.

The housewives in the wealthy merchants in Beijing did not have this idea, and after carefully investigating the accuracy of the information, they began to talk about Zheng Sanniang one by one. The reason is very simple, in the future, Zhao Ershao's grandmother will leave the Zhao family, and the middle feed of the Zhao family will be presided over by Zheng Sanniang, if they can deal with the person in charge of the inner courtyard of the Zhao family, it will be beneficial to their own business. As for whether Zheng Sanniang is a wife or a concubine, it doesn't matter if she is a concubine, I think when Aunt Su was favored, didn't she also come out to socialize and take care of housework instead of the housewife.

In particular, this spring is the triennial certification meeting of the Confucian Business Association, and many wealthy businessmen from other places entered Beijing early, looking for ways to get involved with the Zhao family. It's a pity that Zhao Yongnian and Zhao Tianqing's identities are too high, and they can't touch them at all. Coincidentally, a Zheng San Lady appeared at this time, and they happened to hear that Zheng San Niang would be the future mistress of the Zhao family, how could they let go of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

So, those who don't know each other, whether they are fellow villagers or have the same surname, people from all walks of life try their best to have a relationship with Zheng Sanniang, and all kinds of expensive gifts flow into Zheng Sanniang's bedroom as if they don't want money.

"Oh, Sanniang, look at it, how good this white jade Guanyin is, the jade is transparent, the carving is exquisite, and even the compassionate demeanor of Guanyin is carved vividly, it's really a baby."

Mama Li is Zheng Sanniang's nurse, and she is also one of the few closest people who followed her into Beijing, I saw that her somewhat thin face was full of smiles, carefully stretched out her equally thin hand, and caressed the white jade Guanyin on the table.

"Well, it's good," Zheng Sanniang nodded lightly, but her heart blossomed. No wonder my aunt tried her best to let her enter the Zhao Mansion, it turned out that the Zhao family had such a status among the merchants. I haven't seen it before, but I just heard others talk about how the Zhao family is, Zheng Sanniang is just curious and envious, but she doesn't think about it more. Now that I have experienced it myself, I know that this feeling of being stuttered and touted is so wonderful, and I am afraid that my aunt has not been able to experience this feeling, right?

And the most important thing is that she is not a member of the Zhao family now, everyone is so stammered, if she really marries into the Zhao family and becomes the hostess of the inner courtyard of the Zhao Mansion, what kind of flattery will outsiders have?

Thinking of her high acceptance of everyone's envious and admiring eyes, Zheng Sanniang's whole person was about to fly, the corners of her mouth were even higher, and the smug look between her eyebrows and eyes couldn't be hidden.

"Qiyu three ladies, there is a situation in the peony garden"

Just as Zheng Sanniang was immersed in the wonderful scene of future success, an inappropriate voice suddenly sounded.

"Peony Garden? Didn't Wang Qiniang close the door a long time ago, what situation could she have? ”

Zheng Sanniang's dream was suddenly broken, and her mood suddenly became very bad, so she asked angrily.

"Hui Sanniang, it's not Wang Qiniang, but Shiso who lives in the Peony Garden."

The little girl saw that Zheng Sanniang's face was a little gloomy, and her heart tightened, and she hurriedly explained: "The nail left in the peony garden said that Shisu seems to be pregnant."

"What? Shiso, that is pregnant? ”

Zheng Sanniang felt that she was suddenly poured a basin of cold water, which washed away her sweet dream.

……

"What? Shiso, that is pregnant? ”

The same question sounded in the most remote bamboo garden of Zhao Mansion. I saw Aunt Su with a cold face, constantly walking around the damp and cold room, and the handkerchief in her hand was almost crushed by her.

"That's right, I heard it with my own ears," a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl knelt on the ground, her knees couldn't stand the wet moisture on the ground, she moved uneasily, and then said respectfully: "At this time, the second young master already knows, and he is inviting the imperial doctor to take a look, presumably the imperial doctor has already finished the diagnosis." ”

Pregnant, pregnant, how come someone is getting pregnant again? If Zisu successfully gave birth to a son, she would definitely be raised to be an aunt and be on an equal footing with herself. And more importantly, the girl of Shisu is by no means a fuel-efficient lamp, I think that she not only climbed into her uncle's bed smoothly as a dowry girl, but also held Wang Qifang hostage, and cooperated with the Wang family's companion to embezzle a lot of Wang Qifang's dowry.

Now that Zisu has a son, he may not know what to do.

At that time, the second young master will have the capable Zheng Sanniang as a virtuous helper by his side, and the beautiful concubine who gave birth to a son as an interpreter flower, and the backyard will have the attention of those sluts in Yuzhu, where can he still think of himself being assigned to Zhuyuan?

Wait, Zheng Sanniang?

Aunt Su seemed to suddenly think of something, a strange smile appeared on her face, and she turned around and asked, "Then does Zheng Sanniang know about this?" How did she react? ”

"Back to Aunt Su, Sanniang also heard about it, and listened to the nails we planted in the wing of the Compassion Garden, after Zheng Sanniang heard the news of Shisu's pregnancy, she broke a glass vase on the spot, and then hurriedly went to the peony garden."

Mingzhu, who was standing on the side, hurriedly responded after hearing Aunt Su's question.

"Hehe, okay, since the third lady is out, then we don't have to worry, Haosheng sits in the bamboo garden and watches them fight," By the way, she also has to verify Xiuzhu's words, if her child was really killed by Zheng Sanniang, then with Zheng Sanniang's scheming, presumably Zisu's child can't be saved, right?

Hehe, this is "clam and crane fight, fisherman profits"

……

Peony Garden, Main House.

Wang Qifang rubbed her swollen temples, and looked at the prostrate figure on the ground a little helplessly, "Zisu, you are pregnant now, don't kneel, in case the child has something wrong, the wife and the second young master still think that I deliberately want to harm your mother and son." If you have anything to say, get up and say it."

"No, girl, listen to me," Shisu shook her head and knelt firmly on the ground, "the slave and maid have made so many mistakes in the past, if it weren't for the girl's tolerance and kindness, a hundred deaths of the slave and maid would not be enough to atone for their sins." Now that I have the protection of you, the girl, I invite the second young master to stay in the courtyard of several of us from time to time, which makes the slave pregnant with the second young master's child......

Girl, don't worry, this child was born to be your child, if he is a Langjun, he will be Young Master Sun's helper in the future; If she's a little lady, she'll honor your daughter in the future—"

"Hmph, you still need to say that our girl is the second young grandmother, of course the mother of all the children of the second young master"

Amethyst saw Su Ri's enemy, her eyes were full of resentment, and she said in a disdainful tone.

"What Sister Amethyst said is that it was the slave maid who said the wrong thing," Zisu heard this, kowtowed a few times, and said in an extremely humble tone, "The slave just wants to say that no matter whether the slave maid is carrying a boy or a girl in her belly, it will not affect the status of Young Master Sun's eldest grandson, and the slave and maid dare not use the child to do anything arrogant, and ask the second young grandmother to know it." ”

"Okay, I've got it, and then what?"

Wang Qifang didn't believe that Zisu Baba came to her, just to make a statement. Now that she is so respectful, she must have asked for something later.

"Slaves, slaves and maids want to serve by the side of the second young grandmother"

Shisu gritted his teeth and finally said the purpose. She knew that after the news of her pregnancy spread, there might be many people in the house who wanted the lives of their mother and child. Aunt Su is so careful, the child has been protected for six or seven months, and she can still have a miscarriage, this is a lesson from the past.

Looking at the mansion, Shisu felt that only the second young grandmother was the safest place. First, she has no direct conflict of interest with the second young grandmother; second, the second young grandmother is a person who misses the old, otherwise she would have died a long time ago; Third, after all, the second young grandmother is the rightful wife of the second young master, and some people want to be a killer, so they have to be a little scared.

"Hehe, Miss Shiso is so calculating, waiting? What can you serve the second young grandmother like this? It's just trying to find a place to stay, and it's really stupid for us to be? ”

When Mama Zhao heard this, she laughed angrily.

"No, the slave doesn't dare, the slave doesn't dare"

Zisu was exposed by Mama Zhao in person, and it was not easy to attack, so she could only kowtow again and again.

"Shisu, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's that I'm powerless." Wang Qifang didn't hold a grudge against Zisu like Mama Zhao, she said lightly a fact: "I'm going to move out of Zhao's Mansion next month, how will I arrange for you then?" Could it be that you also want to follow me and the second young master to share the property and live separately? ”

Separate property? Of course not, Zi Su just wanted to find a safe place to give birth to the child, and now that Wang Qifang said it so deliberately, if she still followed, maybe it would really make people think that she also wanted to break with the second young master.

Sending away the lost Shisu, Wang Qifang and Mama Zhao chatted a few words, and then went back to the bedroom to take a nap.

The little girl was clamoring to go to the space to see the flowers, so Wang Qifang had to send everyone out and flash into the space with the little girl.

As soon as she entered the space, Wang Qifang saw that something was wrong, it seemed, it seemed that the space had become larger again?
