Chapter 007: Knowing is not a blessing
Chapter 007 is not a blessing
There is a more important point, that is, as soon as the Zheng family dies, Wang Jinyu, as the eldest son of the Wang family, will also return to his hometown to mourn. Moreover, in the next three years, according to the rules, he will not be able to go out, and he needs to worry at home.
"Well, although my brother joined the rebellion movement of the Chivalry League on behalf of the Qingyuan royal family, but now that this kind of thing has happened, my brother must stay away from the power center of the capital, and he must not leave Qingyuan for three years, and he can't effectively use his identity and status to help the Chivalrous League, so that the eldest brother can also avoid the 'involvement' after the rebellion."
After Wang Qifang said goodbye to Xiao Zheng, she went to Songhe Garden to greet the old lady, and learned from the old lady's mouth that the eldest brother had also received the letter, and he was hurrying back at the moment.
When she thought of her eldest brother, she couldn't help but calculate.
"Sister, what do you think, so engrossed?"
Wang Qifang was thinking about it, and suddenly a slightly hoarse female voice came from behind her, she couldn't help but look back, the person who came was none other than Wang Liufang, the sixth lady of the third room, looking at her full of plain white mourning clothes, and her eyes were also red, she should have just come from the mourning hall to meet the old lady.
"Qi Niang has seen the sixth sister, and the sixth sister has always been good!"
Wang Qifang hurriedly bowed slightly, with a little detachment in her tone, and saluted.
"Thanks to my sister, I'm fine."
Wang Liufang, like Twelve Niang, is a concubine in the third room, she is a month older than Wang Qifang, and at the age of fourteen, Xiao Zheng's family was in charge and married her to a down-and-out family in Xihai County, Qingzhou. Speaking of which, Wang Qifang has never seen her since Wang Liufang got married, and she hasn't seen her for more than ten years.
However, it can be seen from Wang Liufang's face and demeanor that she has not had a good time over the years, just the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes are much more than Wang Qifang, and the two of them stand together, not like sisters of the same age at all, but like aunts and nephews with many age differences, and even mother and daughter.
Obviously, Wang Liufang's sentence 'I'm fine' was very contrary to her intentions, and Wang Qifang didn't know if it was an illusion, she heard a trace of resentment from Wang Liufang's words.
Resentment?
Wait, she has never been familiar with this cousin, and in her limited memory, the number of times Wang Qifang and Wang Liufang have met will definitely not be ten times. Also, even if the two meet, they don't stay alone, but have fun with seven or eight little ladies of the Wang family. As for what the two of them said, I'm afraid that one slap can be counted, where did she offend this cousin?
"That's good," However, whether Wang Liufang resents her or likes her, these have nothing to do with her, thinking of this, Wang Qifang hooked the corners of her lips slightly, and said, "Sister is also here to say hello to the old lady, then I won't bother my sister, sister go slowly!" ”
Wang Qifang's words were basically saying goodbye, but Wang Liufang didn't seem to understand, but lowered his voice and said, "Seventh sister, do you know that my eldest brother was called by the patriarch a few days ago, saying that he had an extremely important errand to do...... It's like when the patriarch chose the lobby brother. ”
"Huh?"
Wang Qifang froze, her face was not revealing anything, but her heart was really startled as if she had set off a stormy wave, she couldn't help but secretly speculate, "What does she mean by this?" The patriarch called the eldest son of the third room, and said that there was any errand for him to do? Could it be that the patriarch also realized that the eldest brother needed Ding Wei to be at home and could not participate in the 'move', and to assist in the restoration of the Li Tang Dynasty, the Wang family could not be absent, so he needed a replacement? ”
"Actually, there are so many little ladies in the Wang family, the situation of the two of us is the most similar, they are both born without their own mothers, and there is only one eldest brother to rely on, and they are not compatible with the housewife of the family, let alone the old lady. However, you are stronger than me, your eldest brother was chosen by the patriarch, and with the patriarch's support behind him, the eldest aunt didn't dare to torture your brothers and sisters to death. My brother and I weren't so lucky......"
The more Wang Liufang spoke, the more sad she became, and tears were about to well-up in her red eyes...... However, when she saw Wang Qifang's stunned appearance, her crying face suddenly showed a little smugness, and her sallow face was full of smiles, and said, "Now it's okay, your brother wants to worry about Ding, no one does the errands in the clan, and my brother is favored by the patriarch again, and he will be able to take the top soon." The patriarch will also recommend my brother to be an official, hehe, with my brother who is an official as a backer, I see if the people of the Qi family dare to bully me, especially that vixen, see how I clean you up! ”
At first, Wang Qifang could still understand Wang Liufang's words, but the more later, the more strange the expression on Wang Liufang's face became, and she couldn't understand a word of what she said, so she had to nod, casually echoed twice, hurriedly greeted her, and then turned back to her yard to rest.
However, some of Wang Liufang's words attracted Wang Qifang's attention, after she returned to Chaoxia Garden, she hurriedly called Ziyuan to call Wang Liang, that is, Wang Qifang took in a dart master, this time Wang Qifang returned to Qingyuan, with a total of four guards, all of whom she inadvertently took in the down-and-out dart master, Wang Liang is the best kung fu among them, and the most righteous, is the head of several dart masters.
"You go and investigate the patriarch of the Wang family in Qingyuan and Wang Jinyan's movements, especially Wang Jinyan, what abnormal behavior has he had recently...... Also, don't tell anyone about this, including Lei Jun and Qingfeng! ”
It's about the Chivalrous League, Wang Qifang doesn't want Li Jingtian to know this, so it's safer to use his own people.
"Subordinates obey!"
Wang Liang is a twenty-seven or eighteen-year-old man, tall, with a dark face and a pair of big eyes. He listened to Wang Qifang's instructions, and didn't ask why, he hugged his fist at Wang Qifang and hurried down.
"Madam, the slave maid has inquired, this time Mrs. Wang's funeral was extremely grand, not only the Wang family's close sons and nephews have arrived, but also some officials and Confucian businessmen in Qi have come to attend the funeral, and even, the Qi Wangfu has also sent someone, it is the Wuda housekeeper!"
When Wang Qifang went to visit the old lady, Ziyuan was not idle, but searched for news in the Wang family's compound without a trace.
"Well, my mother saved Princess Qi, and it is normal for the Qi Mansion to send someone to attend the funeral."
For the martial arts housekeeper with his nostrils facing the sky, Wang Qifang didn't look at it at all. She heard a lot of things today, especially Wang Liufang's inexplicable words, which made her mind a mess, and at the moment she just wanted to calm down and think about it.
It's a pity that she wants to rest, but some people like to come and harass her uninvited.
"Sister, it's so leisurely, my mother is doing the funeral in front, but you are sleeping in the courtyard, you don't seem to look like a filial daughter."
Wang Jiufang was wearing a snow-white skirt, covered with rough linen mourning clothes, with a mourning bun on her head and a linen belt tied on the bun, and she was also haggard.
Wang Jiuniang's changes are also normal, Zheng has passed away for nearly twenty days, in these twenty days, Wang Jiufang was first overly sad, and then there was a cumbersome funeral etiquette, which made her, a fifteen or sixteen-year-old Miss Jiao, really unbearable, and the whole person lost a lot of weight.
The voice is even more hoarse because of crying all day long.
Now she had a little white face, looking at Wang Qifang who was resting leisurely on the big kang with great resentment, and mocked hoarsely.
"Sister, don't be too sad, mother is gone, but you have to live well, deny, mother won't be at ease underground."
Wang Qifang didn't pay attention to Wang Jiufang's words at all, but endured her exhaustion, sat up from the kang, took Wang Jiufang's hand, and comforted her softly.
"You ......" Wang Jiufang really wanted to shake Wang Qifang's hand away, but when she thought of the next scene, she still forcibly held back, leaned into Wang Qifang's ear, and whispered provocatively: "What?" Sister, you like acting so much? Hmph, I heard that you have a theater in the capital, why are you annoyed to be the boss, and you want to get off the stage to be a play? Hey, my mother also said that your biological mother was from the Li family in Haicheng and was a noble-born daughter, but I didn't expect that this daughter had a daughter who was willing to fall. ”
The more Wang Jiufang spoke, the more addicted she became, her eyes flashed with blazing light, and she arranged Li's no, trying to provoke Wang Qifang.
Sure enough, when Wang Qifang heard Wang Jiufang talk about the Li family in such a disdainful tone, her face suddenly turned pale, and she said word by word, "Sister, don't talk about my mother in this tone, otherwise, the consequences will be unbearable for you!" ”
"Hmph, what if I just said that?" You hit me quickly, it's better to beat me viciously, Wang Jiufang saw that Wang Qifang was finally angered by her, and couldn't help showing a smug look on her face, and continued to abuse the Li family even more, "I heard that the Li family was killed by his father?" Tut-tut, my sister's mother is really a failure, and even her father-in-law can't wait for her to die......
Didn't my sister spread rumors outside, saying that if there is a mother, there must be a daughter, and sure enough, she is not wrong, no, isn't my sister kicked out of the house by the Zhao family in the capital? Moreover, I absolutely believe that even if you marry the Li League, you will soon be taken home by the Li League, because this is heredity! ”
"You, really looking for death!"
A chill flashed in Wang Qifang's eyes, and her hands were tightly clenched into fists, with a tendency to punch Wang Jiufang fatly.
Yes, yes, that's all, hit me!
Wang Jiufang looked at Wang Qifang's clenched fist and was extremely excited, and she couldn't wait to put her face on it, so that Wang Qifang was accused of beating her weak sister, at that time, her brother would hype it up again, so that everyone in Qingyuan knew that Wang Qifang was a kind and ruthless two-faced, on the surface, she respected her stepmother, but in fact, she was extremely vicious in designing to frame her stepmother, and her mother was slandered by her at the beginning......
Suddenly, Wang Qifang's tense face relaxed, and I saw her leaning into Wang Jiufang's ear, chuckling and saying, "What, do you want to learn from my sister too?" Hehe, let me tell you, your Taoism is still a little worse, not to mention you, even your mother Zheng was also ruined by me, and she had to die in exchange for the peace and future of your brothers and sisters. Hmph, even a waste like you who has to rely on the life of the old lady to get married, dare to fight with me? ”
"You~~ slut!"
Wang Jiufang was so angry that she forgot the plan set by her sister-in-law at the moment, and raised her slap to Wang Qifang.
"Sister, I—I can't make a promise? Oh, isn't it just a few Zhuangzi, although it is the dowry that my mother paid me, but since you want it, how can I not give it? Now that the family is having a funeral, and my mother is still lying in the mourning hall, you, you should live in peace! ”
When the Lu family led a large group of noble ladies to pour in, Wang Qifang held Wang Jiufang's slap and persuaded helplessly
