Chapter 051 Hot Spring Manor (3)
For their different purposes, Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Tianqing agreed without hesitation after listening to Wang Qifang's request.
Perhaps because he felt that he had promised too much, it was easy for people to have the illusion that they couldn't wait to let Wang Qifang leave home, Zhao Tianqing added, "Lady, your Zhuangzi is in Lingzhou, and it takes half a day to take a carriage. Let your husband escort you. ”
Wang Qifang didn't hear the slightest confidence from his words, nor did she have any sincerity at all, so she knew that this was Zhao Tianqing's face. Realizing this, she shook her head with a smile, "No need, the second young master is busy taking care of business all day long, and it is hard enough, and it is already unvirtuous for the concubine to not be able to help her husband share the burden, how can she still delay the second young master for the sake of play." Besides, I still have chivalrous apprentices recommended by my uncle and cousins, and with them, ordinary little thieves can't help me at all. ”
Not to mention, she is going to take the remaining thirteen retired women's soldiers with her, even if the Jiangyang thieves come, as long as the number is not too much, they will not be hurt in the slightest.
Of course, she would definitely not tell Mrs. Zhao and Zhao Tianqing these words. Otherwise, once Mrs. Zhao knows that she has gone to the princess's mansion, she will definitely ask about the princess's reward, and at that time, Wang Qifang will really not be able to explain.
"Well, okay. That lady must bring more useful subordinates over," Thinking of the four chivalrous apprentices with martial arts who stayed by Wang Qifang's side, Zhao Tianqing couldn't help but be a little envious. Alas, what's going on? He is the future president of the Confucian Business Association, but he is not as good as his own wife, a female streamer has face, and there is no chivalrous guard around him, and Wang Qiniang has a high apprentice as a bodyguard.
What's even more tangled is that there is not only one, but more than one.
What's even more tangled is that these high-ranking disciples are gifts from the lady's family and belong to Wang Qifang's private property, even if he, who is a husband, can't borrow them casually.
"The concubine understands," Wang Qifang nodded hurriedly, thinking of the ambiguous appearance of Zheng Sanniang and Zhao Tianqing just now, as well as Aunt Su's 'aggrieved' face, she reminded again: "The concubine is here, let alone seven or eight days." In the days when the concubine is not at home, I still hope that the second young master will take care of herself...... Hmm, I know that you feel sorry for Aunt Su who is pregnant with a child, and you are also considerate to her in every way, but the concubine still has to say that the second young master also has to take care of the other sisters. ”
"Huh? Lady, what do you mean? ”
Somehow, listening to Wang Qifang actively pushing herself into the courtyard of other women, Zhao Tianqing really didn't feel good in her heart, and she felt like she was ignored by Wang Qifang.
"Alas, there is no way to be a concubine, since she injured her body last time, the concubine can only have a son in the future," Wang Qifang saw Zhao Tianqing's sour appearance of being abandoned by her, and secretly laughed in her heart, but there was no trace of expression on her face, she had a bitter hibiscus face, and said sadly: "In the future, after the second young master is in charge of the Zhao family's industry, if there is only one son of the new brother as a helper, wouldn't it be too tiring?" And the new brother is too lonely. Instead of letting outsiders who are prone to outsiders to meddle in the Zhao family's industry, it is better for the second young master to add a few more capable concubines...... After all, they are blood relatives, and the new brother will have helpers in the future, right? ”
With a helpless expression and good intentions, Wang Qifang very successfully interpreted the image of a helpless wife who was unwilling in her heart, but for the interests of the family and the rights and interests of her son, she still let her husband accept concubines.
"Qi Niang...... It's just bitter for you."
Seeing that Wang Qifang kept saying that it was for himself and for their son, he reluctantly pushed himself out, and Zhao Tianqing's inexplicable illusion was suddenly eliminated, more like drinking cool well water on dog days, and the whole person was much more comfortable and comfortable.
"It's nothing, as long as the second young master understands Qi Niang's heart, no matter how much Qi Niang suffers and suffers more grievances, it's nothing."
'Moved' lowered her head, Wang Qifang successfully covered the slight ridicule in her eyes.
The next day, Wang Qifang, accompanied by Zhao Tianqing, took the three children who were tightly wrapped, and their respective nurses and girls, got into the carriage together, and the other servants got into the carriage behind.
"Mother, are we really going to live in Zhuangzi?"
Yuan Niang opened the car window, looked at the scenery outside curiously through the white muslin window, and said excitedly.
"Yes, is the little girl happy?"
Wang Qifang held a bamboo rod needle in her hand, and a dustpan was placed beside her, in which colorful cotton threads and woolen threads were neatly arranged. Seeing that the weather was getting colder and colder, Wang Qifang specially ordered someone to spin cotton thread and wool, and she was going to knit a few thick cotton socks and sweaters for several children.
The carriage slowly drove out of the capital and came to the increasingly desolate official road. Seeing that there was no excitement outside the window, Yuan Niang sat back in her seat and saw that her mother was holding a few weird bamboo sticks, knitting clothes one by one. Judging from the size of the clothes woven on the bamboo sticks, Yuan Niang speculated that this strangely shaped dress was woven by her mother.
Thinking of this, Yuan Niang's small mouth couldn't help but burst into a smile - it's good to have a mother in pain
It's just that when she thought of the disappointed expression on her face after her mother broke through her chatting with Mama Zhao two days ago, she felt ashamed in her heart, her little hands were nervously twisted, and she bit her lip and asked:
"Mother, aren't you angry with Xiaoya?"
"Huh? Angry? Wang Qifang raised her head and saw that the little girl's round face was wrinkled into a small bun, and said with a smile: "Why is my mother angry with you?" Did Xiaoya do something wrong? ”
For a long time, Wang Qifang always felt that there was something between herself and Yuan Niang, and the two of them could not be as close as ordinary mother and daughter. This is also the reason why she brought Xiaoya out this time. Since she decided to take good care of Xiaoya instead of the deity, Wang Qifang will do her best.
In addition, now that she has successfully brought Yuan Niang to her side, and their mother and daughter will get along more intimately in the future, Wang Qifang began to consider whether to tell Yuan Niang about the space.
Brother Xiaoxin and Xiao Maruko will follow her into the space for a period of time all day long, thanks to the blessing of the aura in the space, the two children are now healthy and fat, and they also have a feeling of spiritual connection with Wang Qifang.
And what about Yuan Niang? In terms of identity, she, like Xiaoxin Ge'er and Xiaomaruki, is the biological flesh and blood of 'Wang Qifang'. The only difference is that Xiaoxin Ge'er and Xiaomaruko are children born by Wang Qifang who experienced the production process and worked hard; And Yuan Niang, who has followed Mrs. Zhao since she was a child, although she loves her biological mother very much, she always has an inexplicable sense of distance from Wang Qifang.
Especially recently, after Wang Qifang's observation, she always felt that Yuan Niang seemed to have some secrets to hide from herself. And this secret must be related to Yuan Niang's early wisdom.
Could it be that Yuan Niang is also wearing it? Wang Qifang has guessed more than once, and has tried again and again. But when Yuan Niang saw her knitting sweaters or embroidering cross-stitch, even if she saw her making some popular Q dolls in her previous life, she was just curious, and she didn't reveal a little different color.
Especially when I heard her and Mama Zhao say something about 'Uncle's hard work' that day, Wang Qifang felt that something was wrong with Yuan Niang. If Yuan Niang was just a precocious child, Mama Zhao would never tell Yuan Niang a six-year-old child about what she even hid from herself.
But what is the secret?
This question is like a thorn in Wang Qifang's heart, as she finds it deeper and deeper, she is worried that she will not be able to pull it out.
"Mother?" has always called Wang Qifang's mother, and her mother has never objected. Today, when I heard my mother call herself "Niang", a touch of joy flashed on Yuan Niang's tangled little face.
She always knew that she was not the same as her younger siblings. Since she was a child, she grew up with her wife and nursing mother; Later, after my aunt took charge of the house, she saw that her wife doted on her very much, and she was worried that she would threaten her status, so she tried every means to harm herself. Her close nurse was sent away, the trusted girl was pulled out and sold, and even her own cat was poisoned......
At that time, the only one who could comfort himself was himself, his mother was first kicked out of the house by his father, and then he came back with two younger siblings. After coming back, her mother became stronger and more capable, which made Yuan Niang very happy - her mother's fate had indeed changed, and it was completely different from the 'dream'.
But somehow, Yuan Niang always felt that her mother looked at her wrongly, as if she had discovered her secret, and she was far less casual than her two younger siblings. In fact, she is not jealous that her younger siblings have taken away her mother's favor, but she also wants her mother to treat her like her.
Do you want to tell your mother that secret? Or tell your mother about your uncle's plans?
However, what if she leaks the 'heavenly machine' and God blames her? If she let her mother and her fate change back to the way it was, wouldn't she hurt her own mother?
"Xiaoya, what's wrong, what's wrong?"
Wang Qifang saw that the little girl had a little white face, and tears slid down her cheeks.
"Woo, mother, Xiaoya didn't mean to hide it from you, don't worry, Xiaoya will never harm you, and when your uncle comes to the capital, he will tell you everything." When the little girl saw Wang Qifang stretching out her hands to her, she plunged into her mother's arms, whimpering and crying: "The little girl really misses her mother, loves her mother so much, and wants to be like her younger brothers and sisters, and she is also liked and loved by her mother."
Wang Qifang felt that her chest was cold, but it felt really hot, as if the burning tears passed through the thick placket and burned her chest firmly.
"Little girl," Yuan Niang's whimpering cry came from her ears, Wang Qifang felt that she was really wrong, how could she doubt her daughter (although she was not born herself, but half of the memories and feelings left in this body belonged to Wang Qifang herself).
Raising the little girl's wet cheeks, Wang Qifang looked at Yuan Niang's eyes seriously, with a little smile, and said to her: "Yuan Niang, do you want to go to a good place with your mother, where there are hot springs, fruit trees, and all kinds of small animals......"
