Mama Zhao listened to Qifang's words, and did not rush to answer, but looked at her "suspiciously", as if asking, how did their Zhuangzi attract people's attention, isn't it just a Zhuangzi who has just caught fire, where has the value increased?

"Mama, did you dig a hot spring in Zhuangzi today?" Wang Qifang understood the question mark in Mama Zhao's eyes, so she said the concerns in her heart, "Originally, this Zhuangzi was not attractive, but with a hot spring, it is different. Since more than 100 years ago, Lord Li went around looking for people to build hot springs and Zhuangzi, looking for hot springs and building Zhuangzi has become one of the necessary industries for our Dazhou nobles. But there are so many nobles in the world, but there are several hot springs, and in the past 100 years, there have been so many high-ranking officials and nobles, and they may not have hot springs in their hands. ”

"What about me, my mother's family can't be relied on, and I was swept out of the house by my in-laws, what is the difference between me and ordinary people? A weak woman who has no rights and no backing, but holds a hot spring, Mama, this is not a blessing, but a curse! ”

"Plus, I'm four months now, and in two or three months, my stomach will bulge. At that time, Steward Feng will definitely not be able to hide it, he knows, and believes that Jingli will get the news soon. When that day comes, if I am still helpless, then Mama Zhao, you, me, and the baby in the womb will become a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of some people, and they want to get rid of them quickly. ”

"So, I have to have something to rely on. The Wang family, with Mrs. Zheng, I can't be relied on. My brother has been out for many years with my husband to study and travel, and I can't disturb him; The only thing I can count on is my uncles, although my mother is gone, but I am still the granddaughter of the Li family, they shouldn't leave me alone, right? ”

Qifang was afraid that Mama Zhao would not be able to understand what she meant, so she said all the words that she had been pondering all afternoon.

"Qi Niang, you finally figured it out!" Mama Zhao met Wang Qifang's eyes, and after seeing her full of firm gaze, she first sighed faintly, and then said in a happy tone: "You are right, the Wang family has the Zheng family, maybe it will not give you a head." But the Li family is the maiden family of your biological mother, Mrs. Li, and there are two in-laws and uncles in the family, and you have been wronged in the Zhao family, so you can find two uncles to help you support you. Alas, it's a pity that you ...... "It's too submissive, it's been like this since I was a child, and I didn't dare to tell others when I was wronged, and I hid in the corner alone and quietly shed tears."

Mama Zhao couldn't help but recall the scene of Qifang's childhood, in the courtyard of the Wang family's deep house, by the dilapidated small courtyard, a weak figure curled up aggrievedly, her immature little face was full of tears, and under the half-old clothes were bruises one by one.

"Hehe, Mama, I wasn't ignorant in the past, I mistakenly thought that my uncle didn't like me, and I didn't dare to ask the two uncles for help!"

Seeing Mama Zhao's face full of sadness, Qifang seemed to think of some unpleasant past. She rubbed her nose and smiled sheepishly. Wang Qifang is not lying when she says this, after the soul merger of Wang Qifang and Wang Yi last time, she still knows more about the first half of Wang Qifang's life. In the depths of her memory, there are indeed records of two uncles, but the images of the two are very vague.

"Alas, this is not your fault, because every time the two uncles come to the Wang family, they are either blocked by the master in the outer courtyard, or deliberately concealed by the Zheng family, and they can't see you at all."

Compared with Qifang's vague memory, Mama Zhao is deeply impressed by this past. Several times, she couldn't see Mrs. Zheng's indifference and cold treatment of Qi Niang, and secretly sent a letter to the Li family asking the two uncles to help Qi Niang make the decision.

At the beginning, after receiving the letter, the two uncles went to Wang's house to find Master Wang's theory, and asked to see their nephews and nieces, but they were shirked by Wang and Mrs. Zheng with various excuses every time.

Later, the eldest uncle was promoted to the capital, and the third uncle went to Haicheng for business, except for sending things to Qi Niang and the eldest young master every year, people rarely came. And those gifts passed through Mrs. Zheng's hands, and finally arrived in the hands of the eldest young master, all of them were lost, not to mention the almost forgotten Qi Niang.

"I said how come I only remember two uncles, but I can't remember what they looked like," Listening to Mama Zhao's words, it seems that these two uncles don't care about themselves as they seem on the surface.

"Well, the two uncles actually love Qi Niang and Uncle very much, but because of the death of the Wang family and the Li family, the relationship between the two families is getting weaker and weaker. Coupled with the different political views of the eldest uncle and the master, if it weren't for the uncle and Qi Niang, the two families would likely turn from in-laws to enemies! ”

Mama Zhao is the dowry girl of Mrs. Li, Qifang's mother, in other words, she is the son of the Li family, and later followed Mrs. Li to marry the Wang family, Mrs. Li was the master and married her to the little housekeeper of the Wang family, when Qifang was born, Mama Zhao also happened to give birth to a young son, and Mrs. Li gave birth to a difficult birth, and when she was dying, she entrusted her newly born daughter to Mama Zhao.

First, I fancy Mama Zhao's loyalty; Second, Mama Zhao's family members are all slaves of the Li family, and they are not afraid that she will betray her master in the future and will not be able to treat her little daughter well; Third, Mama Zhao and the Li family are also familiar with each other, in case her daughter is wronged in the Wang family, she can also ask Mama Zhao to send a letter to her brother and brother.

"However, Rao is like this, if you have something to ask in front of the two uncles, they will never sit idly by." Mama Zhao almost grew up with Mrs. Li and knows very well the relationship between her and the two young masters of the Li family. Just thinking of the past, Mama Zhao said with regret: "Alas, if you could contact your two uncles and uncles too much when you got married, the Zheng family would not dare to be so presumptuous in stealing the dowry left by your wife...... That's all good things, some jewelry is still left by your grandmother to your wife, it can't be said to be priceless, but at the moment it is also a rare thing that you have money and no place to buy...... tsk, but it cheapened the Zheng family and the two daughters she raised for nothing. ”

"......" Faced with Mama Zhao's distressed appearance, Wang Qifang was also very helpless, she bit her lip and whispered, "Mama, mother's dowry, the Li family should have a dowry list, right?" "Isn't it all said in the novel, when a woman married into her husband's family in ancient times, most of the dowries sent by her mother's family had a detailed list. Hmm, the Li family is also a wang family, so there should be a stub too, right?!

When Mama Zhao heard this, her eyes instantly widened, and she looked Qifang up and down like a radar. That kind of inquisitive and puzzled gaze made Wang Qifang want to bite her tongue off - well, did she say the wrong thing again, which made Mama Zhao doubt herself?!

"Madam, you heard it, Qi Niang has really improved!"

After being silent for a moment, Mama Zhao suddenly burst out laughing, the folds on her face were all laughing, and the corners of her eyes were glowing with suspicious water. She turned her face, quietly wiped her tears, and then patted Qifang's hand as if encouraging, "That's right, Qi Niang, you're right." Not only does the Zhao family have a deposit certificate for my wife's dowry, but I also have a detailed record in my hand. Since you can think of this, then let's have a good contact with the two uncles! ”

Hmph, Zheng, do you think the Li family's things are so easy to swallow? Qi Niang didn't pay attention to these before, and her family was subject to the Zheng family, so she didn't dare to tear her face to help Qi Niang fight for it. Now that Qi Niang has made progress, how you swallow it, we will let you spit it out!

"So, my uncle is still in the capital? The third uncle is in Haicheng? ”

Whew, Wang Qifang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and spoke in her heart, Mama Zhao, don't play with such a scary thing!

"That's right, now the eldest uncle is the official of the Ministry of Officials, and he is the third grade," Zhao Mama mentioned the eldest uncle, her face was full of pride and pride, "The third uncle is still in Haicheng, he is the only Confucian businessman in Haicheng, and he is a dignified master!" ”

"Confucian merchants? You say that the third uncle is a Confucian businessman? ”

When Wang Qifang heard this, her eyes lit up, hey, maybe she could talk to this third uncle first. Confucian? A Confucian merchant from a prestigious family? Then the energy on this third uncle must be not small, maybe her cotton has a partner......
