Chapter 028 has ulterior motives

"Qi Niang, are you okay?"

After sending everyone down, Mama Zhao saw that Wang Qifang's face was a little pale, so she asked worriedly.

"It's okay," Wang Qifang shook her head and asked with a wry smile, "Is the capture of Jingzhao Mansion leaving?" ”

"Let's go, alas, don't you just kill a slave who betrays the master, such a situation can be found in any mansion in the capital, why bother to call for arrest every time."

Mama Zhao was very dismissive of Wang Qifang's excessive caution.

"It's a matter of human life, it's better to be careful," Wang Qifang is not very familiar with the laws of the Great Zhou, but only roughly understands that the laws of the Great Zhou follow the "Tang Law Shu Yi", but the specific legal provisions are not known.

Of course, as a privileged class, it is "natural" to kill their own slaves and maids, even the government will not ask, but she doesn't want this matter to cause her any trouble, so be careful to sail the ship for ten thousand years.

However, thinking of Wang Shide's bloody appearance, Wang Qifang panicked again, she sighed slightly, and said to Mama Zhao: "Mama, you say it's strange, when I saw the scars of Amethyst, I hated Wang Shide so much, I really wanted to give him a thousand cuts, but, but-"

Wang Qifang didn't know what words to use to describe it, but when Mama Zhao saw this, she took over the conversation guessingly: "Qi Niang, are you worried that someone from the Wang family will come to ask for the guilt?" We first sent Wang Xin's family, and then killed Wang Shide, and when the news came back to the house, Mrs. Wang might not be so angry. ”

"She? I'm not afraid of her," Wang Qifang shook her head, she wanted to say that she just couldn't get used to seeing a big living person being beaten to death by her own order, even if that person really deserved to die. But thinking about Mama Zhao's disapproving tone just now, she swallowed back the words on her lips again, and changed the topic: "Hmph, I haven't settled accounts with her about Wen Po last time, if she really dares to come, then I will settle accounts for her, and by the way, let her spit out all the dowry left to me by my mother, who is greedy for ink."

"Stable woman?" Mama Zhao paused, and then asked in a low voice when she thought of something: "What, this matter has been clarified, it was indeed Mrs. Wang who did it?" ”

At the time of the incident, Mama Zhao was only guessing, after all, Wang Qifang's circle of life was small, and there were many people who offended.

"Well, it's been investigated, and I've got conclusive evidence."

Wang Qifang nodded, thanks to Li Jingtian's blessing, she still has a lot of resources in her hands that can be used, and there is still a problem with investigating the origin of the two stable women.

"By the way, the nail in Mrs. Zhao's yard just now said that Mrs. Zhao has already sent a message, asking the second housekeeper to find a mason to renovate the rose garden as soon as possible."

Mama Zhao helped Wang Qifang take off the bead hairpin on her head, took a grate, and gently massaged her scalp.

"Hehe, it seems that the temptation of Bodhi is still quite big," Wang Qifang subconsciously touched the phoenix-eyed Bodhi on her wrist, and once again thanked the Buddha for giving her such a magical treasure. If there is no space, if there is no magical effect of space, she really doesn't dare to go back to Zhao's house easily.

Now it seems that her first plan has been nearly half successful, and after Yuan Niang is settled, she can start the second plan. Thinking of the key person in the second step, Wang Qifang suddenly remembered one thing she had ordered:

"Hey, Mama, have they done the errand I asked the cotton cloth store to do for me?"

"Oh, it's done, I heard Mother Wu, who combed her hair yesterday, say that her man had already received the batch of goods to the warehouse of the warehouse, thinking that this batch of goods was specially sent to you by my uncle, and it must be a very urgent and important thing, so I specially arranged for his son Xiao Qiangzi to take care of it," Mama Zhao said as she put the unloaded packing into the box, but she didn't understand Qi Niang's arrangement, "But, Qi Niang, what do you want so much cotton for." Now the cotton cloth business at home is very hot, and those thousands of catties of cotton are worth a lot of silver, so why bother......

"Mama, don't worry, when did I ever make a loss-making deal?" Besides, not all of this cotton is from the plantation, a lot of it is old goods accumulated in her space, and it basically doesn't cost anything.

Wang Qifang took the comb grate in Mama Zhao's hand, combed her long hair, and thought about how to have a good relationship with the third princess.

"Hehe, that's the same."

Mama Zhao helped Qi Niang take off the crotch outside, and put on a homely skirt for her, thinking of Wang Qifang's "outstanding" performance in recent months, Mama Zhao smiled with a look of relief - alas, her Qi Niang has finally grown up.

In the evening, Wang Qifang asked Mama Zhao, who had been busy for a long time, to go back to rest, while she guarded the two children to sleep on the big kang. The nurses lie on low couches outside, ready to be called.

In fact, Wang Qifang prefers that they go to the next room, so that no one will find out when she and the children enter the space.

But the rules can't be broken, it's already very unruly for her to take care of the children herself, if she violates the rules so clearly, then isn't she sending the handle to the enemy.

After waiting for a long time, there was finally a sound of even and long breathing outside, Wang Qifang propped herself up, listened attentively, and found that the two nurses and the girls who were keeping vigil outside were asleep, so she carefully held the two children and flashed into the space.

"Giggles, hee~~"

The two children also seemed to have a feeling for the space, and they were still sleeping soundly, but they didn't expect that as soon as they entered the space, the little new brother woke up, blinking his two big round eyes, and looked at everything around him curiously.

After a while, the little guy's fleshy face was full of excitement, and he grinned and giggled.

He didn't stop laughing, the little pill on the side was woken up, pouting with a red and glamorous little mouth, a few dissatisfied chirps, a good sleep was interrupted, the little girl twitched her nose, ready to open her little mouth and cry.

It's just that she just opened her eyes, her little face was wrinkled into a bun aggrievedly, but she found that it was no longer a familiar scene in front of her, but a very comfortable place.

Wang Qifang couldn't help but smile when she saw the two children being so hapi. She carefully placed the two children on the sofa under the porch of the wooden house, and then went to the bathroom to prepare toiletries and pajamas.

After a while, Wang Qifang came out of the house with a wooden basin with a few clean clothes, cotton towels and bath beans.

"Ahh~~"

Putting down the wooden basin, Wang Qifang turned around and picked up the little balls, came to the small bubble on the side of the hot spring pool, stripped the little girl naked, and then carefully put it in the shallow water. The white and tender little feet, as soon as they came into contact with the warm spring water, the little pills screamed excitedly, and the two little slaps were even more cheerful, as if to remind her mother to put her down quickly.

Wang Qifang saw that the child was so happy, so she put the lifebuoy she found in the warehouse into the water, and then put the little girl in the lifebuoy.

In fact, this small bubble is formed by the water seeping out of the hot spring water, and the whole area of the blister is not large. The diameter is only three or four feet, and the water depth is very shallow, and the lifebuoy is almost impossible to float up.

Xiao Maruko's two chubby arms were resting on the edge of the lifebuoy, his body was almost half sitting and half lying, and his little feet were even more excited.

Brother Xiaoxin saw his sister so happy from a distance, he was so anxious that he squirmed his chubby little body, and his mouth was even more vigorous.

"Okay, okay, don't worry, come right away"

Wang Qifang only felt funny when she saw her son's anxious appearance, and hurriedly walked a few steps to the sofa and hugged the struggling little new brother.

Three or two to take off his clothes, Wang Qifang put his son into the lifebuoy, the two little guys each guarded half of the space, playing with the water, and were so shocked that the little silverfish that slipped out of the big pool with the spring water and fled in all directions.

After the two children were settled, Wang Qifang also breathed a sigh of relief, came to the side of the bathtub, pumped some water with a plastic pipe, sprinkled some rose petals, and then carefully sat in.

"Whew~~ It's still comfortable to take a bath in hot spring water," Wang Qifang sighed with satisfaction, raised her head and half-squinted her eyes, and her nose lingered with the fragrance of melons and fruits and the unique smell of the Bodhi tree.

"Well, it's Mrs. Zhao's birthday in two days, what kind of gift should I give her?"

Wang Qifang opened her eyes, and her eyes involuntarily glanced at the Baicao Garden that she had specially opened up.

Baicao Garden, as the name suggests, this yard is planted with some precious medicinal materials, such as ginseng, Tianqi, Ganoderma lucidum and He Shou Wu and so on more than ten kinds.

Some of these herbs were replanted by Wang Qifang using the new function of the space to make semi-finished medicinal materials, and some were purchased from local farmers when she was in Qingzhou.

Now, after several months of breeding, most of the acres of the garden are full of various medicinal herbs. Thanks to the miraculous effect of space, despite the short time of cultivation of these herbs, the growth rate is very fast, and the medicinal effect is not compromised, but it is much better than ordinary wild herbs.

After Wang Qifang returned to the capital, she once asked Zizhu to take a ginseng to the pharmacy to inquire about the price, and after some inquiry, Wang Qifang suddenly realized that where she planted ordinary ginseng in this space, it was simply a century-old miracle medicine.

"Well, although most of these ginseng were sent by Mrs. Zhao, after the improvement of the space, now all of them are valuable ginseng, so it's a pity to give them to her like this."

After touching around, Wang Qifang's eyes finally fell on the ginseng trees that had already grown six-grade leaves. But when she thought of the prices offered by those medicine shops, she was a little reluctant - alas, she didn't want to do anything with Mrs. Zhao in the first place, and she didn't want to waste such good ginseng to slap her up.

"If you don't give ginseng, what do you give?"

Wang Qifang bit her lip and wrinkled her brows in embarrassment.

Early the next morning, Wang Qifang packed up, and after a few concubines asked her to say goodbye, she held Xiao Wanzi, and the nurse behind her hugged Xiao Xinge, and a team of people swayed to Mrs. Zhao's Compassion Garden.

As soon as I came to the outer room, I met the young grandmother who also came to ask for peace.

"Oh, this is the young lady, come on, let the aunt hug"

The young grandmother saw that Wang Qifang was holding a white and tender milk doll in her arms, and her small appearance gradually opened, and she recognized that this was the girl in the dragon and phoenix fetus, she was busy clapping her hands and teasing the little girl affectionately.

It's a pity that the young lady didn't give face, she yawned with her little fist, then turned her head, her chin fell on Wang Qifang's shoulder, and she didn't pay attention to the gorgeously dressed woman behind her.

"Hehe, the little girl is a little recognizable," Wang Qifang saw that the young grandmother was a little embarrassed, and explained with a smile.

"Well, yes, the young lady is only two or three months now," the young grandmother nodded with a smile, her eyes skimmed over the string of beauties behind Wang Qifang, and then she came to Wang Qifang's side, and said in a low voice, "Brother and sister, why did you let that woman out," she said Zisu, "Oh, leave such a black-hearted thing by your side, be careful...... After all, Brother Xiaoxin and Maruko are both small."

Belch? What does it mean to say this? Genuinely caring, or with ulterior motives?

Wang Qifang smiled noncommittally, "Sister-in-law, it seems that my wife is up, please first?" ”

As he spoke, he turned sideways and let the eldest grandmother go first.

The young grandmother didn't expect to eat a soft nail, and her concerned smile suddenly froze on her face, and she snorted in her nose and entered the main house in a flash.

"Hey, why are you two so neat today, it's like a post"

Mrs. Zhao rinsed her mouth, and as soon as she sat on the top, she raised her eyes and saw the young grandmother and Wang Qifang walking in one after another, as if they had made an appointment.

"Hehe, look at what my wife said, aren't the daughters-in-law worried about the delicious porridge you have here, and they also want to rub a bowl?"

With a smile on her face, the young grandmother took the porcelain cup for Mrs. Zhao from the little girl on the side and handed it to her respectfully.

"What my sister-in-law said is, I really don't know how my wife regulates people, even a cook is so good"

Seeing that the eldest and youngest grandmother was sprinkling, Wang Qifang was not easy to stand, and after handing over the little balls to the nurse, she came to the other side of Mrs. Zhao and echoed casually.

"Okay, isn't it just a bowl of porridge, what's it worth? Ruixiang, why don't you serve porridge to the eldest and second grandmothers?"

Whether it was true or false, Mrs. Zhao was still very satisfied with the performance of her two daughters-in-law, she smiled and nodded the forehead of the eldest young grandmother, and turned her head to Ruixiang and commanded.

"Yes, ma'am"

Ruixiang also smiled and agreed, and then turned around and went out on an errand.

"Madam, seeing that your birthday has arrived, I don't know what arrangements the house has?"

The eldest grandmother held the porcelain cup to her mother-in-law, stood on the side with her hands down, and asked in a low voice.

"Well...... this"

Mrs. Zhao glanced at Wang Qifang intentionally or unintentionally, and looked at what she meant, as if to say, don't ask me, now the second young grandmother is in charge

"When it comes to this, the slave has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not."

Before Wang Qifang could speak, Aunt Su, who was standing behind her, suddenly opened her mouth.

"Oh, what's that? To put it bluntly."

Mrs. Zhao paused, looked at Aunt Su, who had a big belly, suspiciously, and asked puzzledly.

"Hehe, the slave maid thinks that the wife is a whole birthday this time, so she has to handle it well, and other slaves and maids don't understand, but I heard that many dignitaries and nobles in the capital will invite the theater troupe to sing at home whenever there is a happy event...... Naturally, my wife's birthday is also a happy event for our Zhao family, why don't you also invite a troupe to be lively? ”

"Oh, Aunt Su's proposal is good, why didn't I think of it?"

The eldest young grandmother clapped her palms and agreed.

"Well, it's really good, I don't know if Aunt Su has a suitable team to recommend."

Wang Qifang seemed to understand a little, she sneered secretly and took the initiative to ask.

"Heh~ The slave is lonely and unheard, where do you know what a good team is...... However, I heard the slave's sister Mrs. Wang once mentioned that the plum blossom opera troupe in Xicheng District, outside the capital, was not bad, and the owner used to be a musician in the royal pear orchard, and his subordinates have trained a lot of famous actors. ”

Sure enough, when she heard the name of this troupe, Wang Qifang's eyes became fierce - the owner of the plum blossom troupe was none other than Zijuan's husband

P: Eh, I went to Qingdao on a business trip yesterday, I thought I could rush back that afternoon, but I didn't expect to miss the train, and I changed the ticket and waited for the train

A certain Sa owed must make up for it.,The next one is estimated to be very late.,Relatives will see it tomorrow.
