Chapter 018: First Confrontation (1)
"Yuan Niang, don't you dare to say that," Zhao Mama heard Yuan Niang's whispered muttering at the tip of her ear, quickly stood up, leaned over to the door to look, and found that there were no outsiders in the yard, so she turned around, closed the door with her hand, and said in a serious tone: "Yuan Niang, the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother are your elders, how can you say such words as 'they are not good people'?" If it is transmitted to outsiders, I don't know what to arrange."
When Mama Zhao said this, she was not making a fuss. Although the status of Zhao Tianbai and his wife in the Zhao family is a little embarrassing, they are Yuan Niang's uncle and aunt after all.
"Mama......" Yuan Niang saw that Mama Zhao, who had always been good-tempered, had a straight face, reprimanded herself coldly, and couldn't help but feel aggrieved: "Originally, they, they were, they weren't-"
"Okay, anyway, there are no outsiders here, Mama Zhao shouldn't care too much," Wang Qifang saw her daughter's crying appearance, and suddenly felt a little distressed, and hurriedly hugged the little girl, patted her back gently with both hands, and comforted her softly: "Don't be afraid, little girl, Mama doesn't blame you, I just hope you can respect the elders, don't let people say that our Yuan Niang is a bad girl who doesn't understand the rules and has no respect for her elders."
"Mother, Xiaoya knows to respect the elders," Yuan Niang threw herself into Wang Qifang's fragrant arms and whispered: "Moreover, Xiaoya didn't lie, the uncle and the aunt are really not good people." Not only did they kill the old man and the wife, but they also kicked their father out of the house, and finally married Yuan Niang to Aunt Su's stupid nephew...... "The voice became quieter and quieter, and finally disappeared completely.
"Huh?" Wang Qifang only heard Yuan Niang muttering something dead and alive, and finally mentioned Aunt Su. However, she was about to pull up her daughter to ask a good question, and when she gently raised her daughter's little head, she found that Yuan Niang had already fallen asleep in a daze, and there were still two lines of undried tears on her tender little face.
"Yuan Niang slept?"
Mama Zhao came to Wang Qifang's side, and saw that the little girl had fallen asleep with steady breathing, so she asked in a low voice.
"Well, Mama, go and call Grandma Sun," Wang Qifang nodded and commanded silently with an exaggerated mouth.
After a while, Mama Sun walked in with two little maids, first gave Wang Qifang a salute, and then carefully took Yuan Niang and took her to the ear room to rest.
"Mama, I want to take Yuan Niang back to our yard as soon as possible," Wang Qifang watched Grandma Sun leave, thinking that when Xiaoya said with a frightened face just now that Zhao Tianbai was not a good person, she was very sad - alas, she knew that Yuan Niang had suffered a lot of grievances in the Zhao family, after all, without her own mother to watch, even if she was protected by her wife, other masters or subordinates would still ignore Xiaoya.
But she still didn't expect that Xiaoya's situation in the Zhao family was so bad, and even Zhao Tianbai, who had the least status, would treat Xiaoya harshly. So much so that the child, when he heard the name of the uncle and the aunt, was scared like that.
There is also the scene she "saw" in her dream before, Yuan Niang is so immature, but she honestly stays by his wife's side to copy scriptures. Originally, Wang Qifang mistakenly thought that this was just her dream. But after returning to Zhao's house, she found that her dream was also well-founded.
Thinking of the stacks of hand-copied Buddhist scriptures in Xiaoya's study, and then thinking about the little girl's flattering and timid appearance when facing everyone, Wang Qifang felt very guilty - she was really derelict as a mother, and let her daughter bear so much at a young age.
"Pick up? Of course, I have to take it back, although Mama Sun is very dutiful, but the tiger still has time to nap, not to mention that Mama Sun and we are not very caring people, "If Mama Sun takes care of Yuan Niang like protecting her own children, that day, she will not let Wang Xin's son Diao Nu run to coerce Yuan Niang."
However, it is one thing to want to take it back, and whether it can be brought back is another matter.
Mama Zhao thought of what Mrs. Zhao said when she picked up Yuan Niang, and couldn't help but say worriedly: "It's just that Mrs. is afraid it's not easy to relax." ”
"Well, it's a bit troublesome, but it's not completely out of the question."
Wang Qifang tilted her head, leaned back on the pillow, and began to think of a way with half-squinted eyes.
At the beginning, on the one hand, Mrs. Zhao disliked Wang Qifang's cowardice and petty family spirit, and threatened to let her granddaughter become as useless as Wang Qifang; On the other hand, it is for the rumors of Wang Qifang's "mother and brother", although it is not explicitly stated, but it is revealed in and out of the words that the granddaughter is thin and light, and she can't stand the hard eight characters of her biological mother.
"Mama, do you think there are people in our yard?" Thinking of this, Wang Qifang slowly opened her eyes and asked in a low voice.
In fact, even if Mama Zhao didn't investigate, Wang Qifang could guess it.
A few days ago, when they just returned to Zhao's house, so many cleaning and rough girls suddenly appeared in the originally lonely peony garden, and all of them were unfamiliar faces, not to mention that Wang Qifang didn't recognize any of them, even Mama Zhao didn't have any impression of these people, but one thing is certain, that is, these people are not the subordinates of the peony garden.
As for their identity, it is even more worth exploring the birds.
"That's right, in our yard, from the kitchen to the washing, to the cleaning, there are a total of eight mothers-in-law and four girls." When Mama Zhao mentioned these people, although she didn't know them very well, she still knew some things, such as their identities: "Among them, the wife installed two mothers-in-law and a girl, who were responsible for the kitchen and cleaning respectively; Another cook in the kitchen was sent by the second young master, according to Qingxia's investigation, this cook was the mother of the second young master's study; The two mothers-in-law were sent by the old aunt and grandmother Zhao Yanniang; The two little girls on the needle and thread are Su's nails......"
"Hehe, it's quite complete," Wang Qifang smiled mockingly, then sank her face, and said to Mama Zhao seriously: "Mama, we all have two people and four eyes, but we have to look at so many people, Rao is the two of us can't see it without eating or sleeping." But Xiaoya, Xiaoxin and Xiaomaruko are still young and can't tolerate sloppiness...... Mama, you must remember that the three children must be our henchmen who are serving closely, and the kitchen must also be taken back. ”
Illness comes from the mouth, and the kitchen has always been one of the preferred battlefields for house fighting, which is for Wang Qifang, who has returned to Zhao Mansion for the first time, she has to guard against it.
"Well, don't worry, although Mama is old, these things are still difficult for me." The old lady nodded, in her heart, Wang Qifang was more important than her own children, how could she let someone hurt Qi Niang under her nose?
Besides, the current Qi Niang is much stronger than in the past, not only is she able to calculate, but there are also many capable people around her.
"In addition, isn't there Qingfeng and the four of them, hehe, Qi Niang, speaking of Qingxia and Qingyun, we really want to thank the young master of the Li family in Pingzhou. It was the first time for people and us to meet, and it was such a big gift as soon as they made a move, they were really exquisite, worthy of being the descendants of Lord Li, and their behavior was generous."
"Generous?" Wang Qifang sneered lightly, and said secretly in her heart, where is he Li Jingtian generous, is he weak-hearted. Hey, I think when I was in Qingquan Villa, the assassin's sword was against her Wang Qifang's neck, Li Jingtian and the divine horse protector, but they leisurely nestled on the roof to watch the play. If she hadn't had space to hide, she Wang Qifang and the two babies in her womb would have died long ago.
What's even more infuriating is that this assassin is none other than Li Jingtian's subordinates - hmph, the discipline is not strict, his subordinates have done evil, and he, Li Jingtian, the master, cannot escape responsibility.
In order to compensate, but also to apologize, Li Jingtian was stingy and picked two chivalrous apprentices from the Chivalrous League, and asked Li Jingkuo to transfer them to Wang Qifang in the name of his cousin, these two people are Qingyun and Qingxia.
Of course, these things involve the secrets of space, Wang Qifang is not good to tell Mama Zhao, but don't say it, she was aggrieved and panicked, so she could only snort coldly a few times and vent her trouble.
"Yes, it's really generous," Wang Qifang didn't want to talk deeply about this issue, so after casually echoing twice, she changed the topic and said, "Since they have placed eyeliner in our yard, then we can't be idle and let those people don't use it, and we have failed the kindness of others in vain."
"Hmm~~" Mama Zhao pondered for a moment, and then guessed: "Qi Niang, what do you mean-"
"Hehe, Mama, we've been back for a few days, and the thorns of the Wang family have been almost cleaned up, so it's time for us to start tidying up the inner courtyard."
Wang Qifang interrupted Mama Zhao's speculation, and said in a tone that you know and I understand, full of deep meaning.
"Eun, it's time to rectify these things that don't have a master in their eyes."
Mama Zhao met Wang Qifang's crystal eyes, and immediately understood what she meant, and nodded with a smile.
In the evening of this day, in the flower bed of the peony garden, several little girls were chatting together.
"Hey, did you see it at noon, someone came from the second young grandmother's village, saying that he was escorting a tree." The maid opened her mouth gossiping.
"A tree? What kind of tree is it worth transporting from Qingzhou all the way to the second young grandmother? The maid obviously didn't know about this, and asked curiously.
"Hey, let's talk nonsense, as the old saying goes, 'people move to live, trees move to die', it is not easy to survive when you move a tree, let alone thousands of miles away?" The maid is a flower and grass in the yard, and she is very good at flowers and trees, and retorted in an expert tone.
"Don't know, do you? Heck, this is no ordinary tree...... Hey, let me ask you, have you ever heard of Bodhi? It is what my wife often recites when she recites the scriptures, like 'Bodhi Ben has no tree', which refers to the Buddha tree Bodhizi...... I heard that the second young grandmother brought it from Qingzhou is the sacred tree of Buddhism, the Bodhi Zi tree," said the maid with the appearance of an insider.
"It's really fake, didn't people say that we can't plant Bodhi trees here, even in a place like Lingyan Temple, the Bodhi tree can't be raised, if it weren't for the second young grandmother and the Buddha, this Bodhi tree wouldn't grow big——"
Speaking of which, in the corner of the peony garden, a figure flashed by.
The maid didn't seem to notice it, and continued to gossip: "Also, I heard Sister Ziyuan say, when our second young grandmother first arrived at Qingyuan Villa, she was so sick that she was almost a breath away, and the child almost had a miscarriage, thanks to this holy tree, not only did she get better, but the child was also saved——"
Before this sentence was finished, at the corner gate of the peony garden, the figure swayed......
P: Thank you for your little pink, it's a little Kavin today, and it's late for the update, so I'm very sorry
