Chapter 138: Explaining the Wang Family
Chapter 138 explains the Wang family
Wang Qifang went to Qingyuan this time, it can almost be said that she was traveling lightly, with a simple luggage belt, and there were not many people accompanying her. Except for Mama Zhao, she only brought two people, Ziyuan and Qingyu.
Originally, after the Zhou banquet of the dragon and phoenix fetus, Mama Zhao was ready to follow her son and daughter-in-law back to the capital.
But as soon as he heard the letter from the Wang family of Qingyuan, Master Wang ordered Qi Niang to return to her parents' house as soon as possible, and Mama Zhao immediately decided that she would not return to the capital for the time being, and she would follow Qi Niang back to Wang's house.
At that time, she said this to her son and daughter-in-law:
"You also know Mrs. Wang's temperament, she has always been the most vicious and vicious. Coupled with her more than 20 years of operation, the Wang family has long become her world, and she is also her confidant up and down, even the lord wants to let her score three points.
Now that the old man has called Qi Niang back, it must have been the idea of the poisonous woman. Although Qi Niang has become stronger now, her heart is still kind, and that poisonous woman is the most skillful person at pretending, in case Qi Niang doesn't notice that she calculates for a while, how can I have the face to see my wife?"
Zhao Erlang and his wife listened to the old lady's words, and thought about it, Wang Qifang can't be bullied. Not to mention anything else, their family relies on Mrs. to live, and once Mrs. has anything wrong, they will not be better off in Beijing.
Therefore, Zhao Erlang personally accompanied Mama Zhao to see Wang Qifang, and the mother and son persuaded her to agree to take Mama Zhao back to Qingyuan.
Afterwards, Wang Qifang thought about it, in fact, it was good to take Mama Zhao with her.
First, she came halfway, and the memories of her mother's family in her mind were very scattered, and there were many people who she didn't even have the slightest impression in her heart. If she encounters something or someone she doesn't know clearly, and the words leak out, arousing Zheng's suspicions, it will be bad.
Second, since she wants to compete with the Zheng family, she can't do it without someone available. Not to mention anything else, just talking about the relationship between the top and bottom of the Wang family, if there is no familiar person to guide her, Wang Qifang can't find a starting point if she wants to deal with it.
With Mama Zhao, it's different, her old man has been in the Wang family for half her life, and she knows all the masters and slaves in this family, as well as all aspects of relationship entanglements, maybe she can find someone who can be used through Mama Zhao.
"Qi Niang, how can we take this carriage?"
Although Wang Qifang said that she didn't go back to Wang's house this time to return to her hometown, she didn't want to be too ostentatious. But there is no need to make it so shabby, I don't sit in a spacious and comfortable carriage, but I use a broken carriage that I don't know from which corner, such a hard seat, a rickety frame, if you sit all the way, your body bones will be shaken apart.
Mama Zhao felt that she was nothing, she was a subordinate, a person who was used to suffering, and it was nothing to suffer some crimes.
But Qi Niang is different, she is a dignified lady, why do you have to be so wronged when she goes back to her parents' house?
"Hehe, this carriage is good, it's not obtrusive."
Wang Qifang took a thick cushion and stuffed it behind Mama Zhao, and said, "It's just that Mama Lian has suffered with me."
"Oh, what do I have to suffer and not suffer, I feel sorry for you," Mama Zhao pulled out the mat from behind her, turned it to Wang Qifang, and said angrily, "I know that you don't want the Zheng family to know how much your current family property is, and you want to go home in a low-key manner, but no matter how much you disguise, you can't let yourself suffer." ”
"Mama, don't worry, I know it in my heart," Wang Qifang saw that Mama Zhao's eyes were full of distress, and a warm current suddenly surged in her heart, this is Mama Zhao, even if she is not by her side, she will think about her everywhere.
Stuffing the mat back behind Mama Zhao, Wang Qifang pressed her arms that were about to struggle, and said, "Mama, you are old, you still have a thicker cushion and are more comfortable...... Don't make me feel bad, okay? ”
"Alas, well"
Seeing Wang Qifang so insistent, Mama Zhao had no choice but to give up, held her hand with her backhand, and said, "Qi Niang, I know that you are a soft-hearted person, but that Zheng family, you must be careful, you must not be deceived by her rhetoric." ”
"Well, I understand," Wang Qifang nodded, speaking of which, she really hadn't seen this Mrs. Wang with her own eyes, but in the remaining memory, the deity hated and feared this stepmother. She lowered her head and thought for a while, and asked, "Mama, I haven't been home for a long time, and I don't know what the situation is at home, so why don't you tell me about it." It's not good for me to go back, to be concealed by others, and to do the wrong thing."
"En, Qi Niang, if you don't take the initiative to ask, Mama will also give you a good talk. I think at the beginning, you didn't like to run to the main courtyard when you were a child, and you were not very familiar with those people in the family, and the old lady and several aunts and grandmothers were not close to you, so that when you got married later, you suffered such a big loss as the Zheng family, but there are so many people in the Wang family who are willing to help you out, alas, this is all a lesson," Mama Zhao patted Wang Qifang's hand gently, her eyes full of bitterness of memory.
"Mama is right, I will never make the same mistake a second time," Wang Qifang nodded, this time she came to take revenge, and she also had to get her mother's dowry back, which she would definitely not be able to do by relying on her alone, well, she had to borrow the talents of the Wang family.
Thinking of this, she raised her head, met Mama Zhao's gaze, and asked, "By the way, Mama, what is the situation at home?" Is there anyone who doesn't deal with the Zheng family? You're going to tell me all this."
"Okay, well, I'll tell you all. Hehe, don't look at Mama following you away from the Wang family for seven or eight years, but the old relationships in the house are still there, and from time to time those old sisters will bring me a letter or something, so Mama knows very well about the affairs of the masters of the Wang family. ”
When Mama Zhao heard this, a smug smile appeared on her face, she took Wang Qifang's hand, and the two of them got together affectionately and whispered.
The dilapidated carriage creaked and thought, the breeze outside drove the carriage, and Ziyuan sat on the sidelines and guarded, while looking at the road in front of her, while concentrating on listening to the movement of the rear carriage, once the master commanded something, she could immediately respond.
“…… Your grandfather is the younger brother of the current patriarch, and it can be regarded as the second room of the Qingyuan Wang family," Mama Zhao gently rubbed Wang Qifang's head on her knees, and told Wang Qifang the family story of the Wang family in detail, "Your grandmother, Mrs. Wang, was born in the Anping Cui family, which is a branch of the Boling Cui family, and after she married your grandfather, she gave birth to two sons and three daughters, and your father Wang Mingchuan is the eldest son...... In addition to the two sons-in-law born to the old lady, the Liu family, the side room of the old lady, also gave birth to the second son, Wang Mingshan. ”
"Oh, so I have two uncles? By the way, Mama, I remember that the Wang family seems to have never been separated, so the two uncles are also living in the ancestral house now? ”
When Wang Qifang heard this, she seemed to remember something, and opened her eyes and asked.
"Yes, the Wang family has ancestral training, and the high hall cannot be separated." Mama Zhao nodded and continued, "Although the old lady is gone, the old lady is still there, so the Wang family has never been separated. The second and third masters both lived in the old mansion of the Wang family. ”
"Hmm, I remember that the second uncle married his wife Li, and the third uncle married his wife Zheng, do the two aunts get along?"
In fact, what Wang Qifang wants to know more is what the temperament of these two aunts is, and whether they are good friends with the Zheng family.
"Hehe, you've met the two aunts two or three times, it's rare that you still remember," Mama Zhao smiled, patted Wang Qifang's broad forehead, and continued, "Because the second master is a concubine, the old lady doesn't like him very much, so she doesn't even pay much attention to the second wife Li, but Li is an interesting person, knowing that he can't be happy with the old lady, and he doesn't go to catch up with it, so he turns his head to envelop your stepmother Zheng." ”
Mama Zhao's meaning is very clear, and the second aunt Li has a deep friendship with the Zheng family.
"As for the third old man Wang Mingjiang, because he is the youngest son, the old lady loves him the most, and his relatives also took a lot of thought from the old lady, and he actually asked to marry the little lady of the Zheng family in Xingyang, that is, your third aunt Zheng. Don't look at the same Zheng family's daughter, she is not of the same level as the eldest wife Zheng's family, one is a descendant of the descendant branch, and the other is a descendant of the collateral branch, and the status and prestige must not be compared. ”
"Well, if it's according to Mama's words, then the third aunt should look down on the Zheng family."
"Qi Niang is so smart, she guesses it. That's right, the third wife has always been at odds with the eldest wife, and the two of them jointly preside over the Wang family's middle feed, but there are few private contacts. ”
Wang Qifang doesn't care much about Mama Zhao's praise, this is nothing, think about it, you know, she is tall, her husband is the young son of her in-laws, and the third aunt does have arrogant capital. In addition, the eldest wife Zheng is not the master of trouble, and it is strange that the two Zheng daughters get together and can get along peacefully.
However, Mama Zhao's words caught Wang Qifang's attention, "Wait, Mama, you said that the two of them presided over the Wang family's middle feed together?" In the inner courtyard of the Wang family, the two of them are in charge? ”
"But no, originally, it was the eldest lady's housekeeper, but after the third lady entered the door, she accidentally found that the kitchen steward had made false accounts and embezzled money, and a complaint was filed against the old lady, and the old lady was very angry after verifying, and in a fit of anger she checked the accounts of all the secretaries in the house, and the result was ...... Hehe, since then, the old lady is in charge, the eldest lady is in charge of the money, but the third lady is in charge of the accounts, and the two of them are in charge of the house."
"It's a 'unintentional', it seems that this third aunt is really a powerful person. As soon as I entered the door, I found a way to find evidence of Zheng's 'incompetence as a housekeeper', and divided the power of the Zheng family in three or two clicks, which is not simple."
When Wang Qifang heard this, her eyes lit up, and she secretly said in her heart, well, perhaps, this third aunt is a good object, and after she goes back, she should make friends with her.
