Chapter 006: Just as I first met
Chapter 006 is just as first seen
"Oh, this Erlang, he just likes to tell jokes," Zhao Chuniang was the first to react, and hurriedly interrupted everyone's whispered discussions, covered her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with an exaggerated smile: "Where are you here to talk about business, it's clear that you are here to see Qi Niang and the child, hehe, Mother Guo, why don't you hurry up and welcome the second young master in?" ”
As she spoke, Zhao Chuniang glanced at Guo's mother, who had not yet come back to her senses, and motioned her to go out quickly and settle the matter.
Guo's mother was slammed down by the little girl behind her, and then she reacted and laughed busily: "Hehe, yes, yes, our second young master is funny, obviously he came to pick up the second young grandmother, but he made a surprise attack." ”
"Hehe, I see"
The people in the conservatory, when they heard the words of Zhao Chuniang and Guo's mother's master and servant, their eyes flashed with banter, and they didn't believe their words at all, and looked at each other's relatives and friends, conveying each other's clear message - I had long heard that the second young master of the Zhao family was a "spoiled concubine and wife" person, but I didn't expect to see it today, and it was really like this.
Only Wang Qifang didn't seem to feel the strange atmosphere around her, and asked Zhao Chuniang with a hint of expectation: "Auntie, what you said is true?" Is it really a father-in-law? Oh, Mama Zhao, hurry up and send someone to invite Xianggong in. ”
The words were full of the wife's affectionate longing for her husband, Wang Qifang said this, and was afraid that others would not know her mood at the moment, so she was a little stunned, and whispered: "It's been seven months, Xianggong, you're finally here"
Kindness? Wrong
Zhao Chuniang sat on the top of Wang Qifang, the seats of the two people were not far away, she clearly heard Wang Qifang's soft complaint, the deliberate smile on her face suddenly dissipated a lot, frowned slightly, and began to re-evaluate the younger brother and sister in front of her.
And the people around seemed to have heard Wang Qifang's muttering, thinking about what happened to this Wang family girl and all kinds of rumors in Beijing, they all showed sympathy, and secretly spit on the behavior of the Zhao family's nouveau riche in their hearts.
"What? Mother Guo, you said that this Zhuangzi belongs to Qi Niang? ”
Zhao Tianqing stood at the gate of the villa and waited for a long time, and finally saw that the lord's family had sent someone. It's just that when he saw the person clearly, the whole person was stunned. After listening to Guo's mother explain the matter in three or two sentences, he exclaimed in disbelief.
"That's right, Second Young Master, this Zhuangzi and the fields and orchards under the mountain were all bought by the Second Young Grandmother with a dowry," Guo's mother stood beside Zhao Tianqing with her head down, and muttered in a low voice: "In addition, in addition to these Zhuangzi and fields, the old slave also heard that the second young grandmother also has a big plantation in Haicheng, and she grows a lot of rare crops."
As for what is planted in Wang Qifang's manor, Guo's mother doesn't know. This can't be blamed on her, it's just that she has been here for a short time, and the people of Qingquan Villa are very jealous of her, and rarely show the slightest hint in front of her, and it is not easy for her to find out that Wang Qifang has a plantation.
Plantation?
Zhao Tianqing lowered his eyebrows again, his eyebrows twisted together, and various thoughts appeared in his mind.
Wait a minute...... The Li family in Haicheng, the Li family in Pingzhou, the Wang family in Taiyuan, and the plantation of the lady, is there any connection between them that he doesn't know?
Could it be that Zhao Tianqing thought of a certain possibility, his face became more and more gloomy, and a trace of anger appeared in his heart.
"Yo, uncle, you can come, everyone is waiting for you," Mama Zhao's chubby figure appeared at the gate, she pulled her face and squatted at Zhao Tianqing with a smile, "What, doesn't my uncle recognize the door?" Oh, by the way, look at the old slave's memory, hehe, I forgot to report to you about Qingquan Villa, no wonder you don't know it."
"Well, I was negligent," Zhao Tianqing heard the deep meaning of Mama Zhao's words, wiped the gloom on her face with her hand, and returned to her usual flat tone: "Mama Zhao, Qi Niang and the child are thanks to you for taking care of them, Mama Guo, pass on my words, Mama Zhao is attentive, reward"
"Hey, the old slave wrote it down" Mother Guo saw strangers passing by at the door, they stood here and talked very unfashionably, hurriedly took a few steps forward and grabbed Mama Zhao, turned to Zhao Tianqing and said, "Second young master, let's go in quickly." The eldest wife and the third wife of the Li family are in Zhuangzi, and our aunt and grandmother are also here, everyone is waiting for you to sit down."
"Oh? The eldest aunt and the third aunt are here? ”
To be honest, Zhao Tianqing is somewhat afraid of her mother's uncle's family. Hearing that the two aunts had come from afar, a bad premonition flashed in his heart. Thinking of the farce that happened at home a few months ago, Zhao Tianqing couldn't help but shiver - last time, it was only the eldest uncle's wife who came to the door alone, which made the Zhao family discredited, and was laughed at by the upper class and nobles in the capital for half a year.
Now that there are two of them together, and it just so happens that he is caught ignoring his wife and children, and only cares about talking about business, he has a seizure on the spot, does his Zhao family still have any face to speak of?
"Yes, in addition to the uncle and wife of the Li family in Haicheng, there are also several young grandmothers of the Li family in Pingzhou, I heard that they are all cousins of the second young grandmother" Guo's mother also knew the urgency of the matter, she followed Zhao Tianqing step by step, and quietly introduced all kinds of distinguished guests who came to drink the full moon wine, "In addition, there are also the two young grandmothers of the Qian family in Qingzhou, as well as the wife and young grandmother of the Qingzhou prefect Wang's mansion......"
Pingzhou Li family? Qingzhou Qian family?
Hearing these two surnames, Zhao Tianqing became more and more convinced of the guess in his heart.
"Heh~ I haven't seen you for a few months, Qi Niang has a long ability." Things have come to this point, if Zhao Tianqing can't think of who the "anonymous" is, then he is too stupid. Looking at the exquisite scenery around her, as well as the smug and detached expression of Mama Zhao who led the way in front of her head, Zhao Tianqing snorted coldly when she couldn't take it over for a while.
"No way, as the saying goes, being a mother is strong, even if Qi Niang is not for herself, for the sake of a few children, she will be strong," Zhao Mama heard Zhao Tianqing's cold snort at the tip of her ear, and hurriedly turned around and explained with a smile, "Besides, Qi Niang is also the daughter of the Taiyuan Wang family, the second young grandmother of the Beijing Confucian Business Association, and there is no reason to be bullied by a cheap concubine." Uncle, are you right? ”
Hmph, Qi Niang is right, in the eyes of his Zhao Tianqing and Second Young Master Zhao, there is no place for Qi Niang's mother and son at all.
Mama Zhao had a smile on her face, but she was secretly full of disappointment.
Originally, she also wanted to persuade Qi Niang not to be too ruthless and give her uncle another chance. In Mama Zhao's plan, as long as the second young master personally came to pick up Qi Niang and them back to the house, she would help the second young master intercede with Qi Niang and actively promote their reconciliation.
It's a pity, Mama Zhao played her abacus well, but people didn't treat her and Qi Niang as dishes, let alone come to pick up Qi Niang home, after knowing the news of Qi Niang's birth, she didn't give Qi Niang a word...... Sure enough, it's a selfish and heartless bastard
The hope in her heart was shattered, and Mama Zhao's last trace of respect for Zhao Tianqing was also hit by Ziyuan's sentence "The second young master of the Zhao family in the capital, come to talk about business with the young grandmother of your mansion" without a trace.
doesn't regard him as Qi Niang's father-in-law, and his words are a little more indifferent and fearless.
"Motherhood is strong?" Zhao Tianqing didn't expect that Mama Zhao, who has always been flattering to herself, would talk to herself in such a blunt tone, he paused for a moment, and sighed faintly, "Alas, when she gave birth to a little girl, she would be strong as a mother, how good it would be"
Thinking of the past, Zhao Tianqing's face flashed with gloom - if Qi Niang was willing to be a little stronger, their husband and wife would not have come to this point, they are in name only, and they are strangers.
"Uncle's words are inappropriate, at that time, Qi Niang was not strong enough, but believed in her husband too much." It's okay not to mention the past, as soon as Zhao Tianqing mentioned the events of the year, Mama Zhao's face suddenly became ugly, she endured it for a long time, and finally said the complaint that had been buried in her heart for a long time: "It's a pity that she mistrusted people." ”
Before the words fell, the group had already come to the greenhouse. Mama Zhao didn't care about Zhao Tianqing's reaction, quickly laughed, walked to the greenhouse in a few steps, and bent her knees to report: "Uncle's wife, third uncle's wife, and several in-laws and grandmothers, our aunt has arrived."
"Is it really Erlang?" The uncle's wife tugged at her face slightly, and bent out an arc similar to a smile, "If you don't invite it soon, I'll just say, this son and daughter are all full moon, and no matter how busy he is, he has to come and see it in person."
"No, uncle's wife, my younger brother, has been career-minded and unsociable since he was a child," Zhao Chuniang was afraid that the other party would say something even more ugly, so she hurriedly interrupted her uncle's wife's words, turned her head and smiled at Qi Niang: "Qi Niang, don't worry, as long as Erlang dares to stand you, you will tell the eldest sister, hehe, see if my sister doesn't clean him up"
When Wang Qifang heard this, she smiled slightly, and said embarrassedly: "Grandma is too polite, Qi Niang has been married to Xianggong for six years, how can she not understand his temper...... The man is ambitious in all directions, and the husband is dedicated to working hard for the Zhao family, even if he is negligent to Qi Niang, Qi Niang can understand"
However, understanding is one thing, and being able to endure it is another
Wang Qifang smiled coldly in her heart, but her face did not show any emotion, but a gentle and tolerant smile.
"Huh? Is this Qi Niang? ”
As soon as Zhao Tianqing entered the door, he looked up and met Wang Qifang's bright smile, and when he saw such a strange wife, he couldn't help but be stunned on the spot.
can't blame him for losing his temper, but since he married Wang Qifang, he has rarely seen her so confident and energetic.
Well, how to say it, the past Qi Niang was more than gentle, generous and insufficient, the whole person doesn't know if it's because of inferiority, and she doesn't dare to speak loudly every day, and she doesn't have the momentum of being a housewife at all. On the contrary, she is like a little daughter-in-law in a small family, cowardly, timid, and without a trace of responsibility.
Now that I haven't seen her for just a few months, Qi Niang seems to have been reborn, the inferiority complex between her eyebrows and eyes is completely gone, replaced by self-confidence and strength from her bones, and under the background of this unique temperament, the original plain facial features have become coquettish......
