Chapter 012 Study Negotiations

Is the little whitebait dead?

Wang Qifang looked at the things her daughter put in the palm of her hand in a daze, and she had an ominous premonition in her heart.

"Mother, mother, why did the little silverfish die, didn't you say that these things are all to help us get sick, how did they die?"

Yuan Niang's tender white chubby face was full of sadness, and there were crystal tears in her big eyes. Woo, how cute these little whitebait are, every time they take a bath, they come to play with her, and they don't see each other for two days, why do they die?

Yuan Niang's question, Wang Qifang couldn't figure it out.

You must know that when I almost had a miscarriage, I relied on the little whitebait in the hot spring to suck off the blood scale and toxins on my body, and under the combined action of the hot spring, I was able to save the fetus in my womb; Even when Mei Niang was pregnant, thanks to the soothing of the little whitebait, the fatigue of the body was eliminated, the physical fitness was indirectly enhanced, and the health of the mother and fetus was ensured.

It can be said that Xiao Yinyu has always been like Wang Qifang's private doctor, because of their existence, after Wang Qifang came to Da Zhou, she didn't even have a cold and fever, and she didn't use 'ingestion' of some bad things to be poisoned.

And Wang Qifang is also very sure that these little silver fish, like space, are all gifts from the Buddha, and they are little elves full of aura and abilities, and she never thought that one day these little things would also die.

"This ......" Wang Qifang met her daughter's bright eyes, tried her best to suppress the uneasiness in her heart, and said softly: "Yuan Niang, do you think, since the beginning of winter, the lord and wife have suffered from the cold, and the girls and mothers-in-law have also frozen their hands and feet, but only we have always been healthy, and that is the reason why the little silverfish has sucked the sick gas...... You see, it's only so big, but it helps us suck in so much sickness every day, and naturally we can't bear it, so-"

"Then, that little girl doesn't need to bathe in the hot spring water, and the little whitebait I don't want is dead."

Yuan Niang's chubby little hand touched the lifeless body of the little silver fish lovingly, and said sullenly.

"Hehe, okay, then we won't wash it today."

The little whitebait died inexplicably, and Wang Qifang was also a little worried, not knowing if it was safe to soak in the hot spring water. She hurriedly took Yuan Niang's hand, took a few steps to the hot spring pool, took out Xiao Maruko and Xiao Xin'er, who were still kicking the water, wrapped the two children separately with a soft cotton towel, and put them on the carpet laid out on the side, and wiped Yuan Niang's hair, changed into shorts and shorts, and asked her to play with her younger brothers and sisters.

After placing the children, Wang Qifang came to the hot spring by herself and carefully inspected it.

It doesn't matter if you don't look at it, Wang Qifang leaned over and looked at it, and was really startled by the abnormality on the water...... On the water surface more than ten meters square, there are small whitebait floating stars, all of them turning their bellies, and it seems that they have been dead for a long time.

"Little girl, have you been in the water for the past two days?"

Wang Qifang was holding a fishing net made of fine arrowroot cloth, carefully fishing for dead fish floating on the water, and asked a certain pit who was staying at the water's edge.

"That's right, I'm a mythical beast in the water, so naturally I have to stay in the water." The little boy twitched his tail up and down boredly, and made a splash.

"Did you notice when dead fish began to appear in the hot springs?"

"Well...... "Well," he sat up straight, tilted his head and thought about it, then patted the stone next to him and said, "It seems like yesterday." However, why is your face so ugly, isn't it just that a dozen fish have died, such a small thing, it is tossed by you every day, it is strange that you can live. ”

Seeing that Wang Qifang's brows were twisted into twists, and his face was heavy, he asked puzzledly.

"It's nothing, it's just a little strange," Wang Qifang didn't explain much, but turned her head to it and said: "Since you know that these little fish don't need to be tossed, don't dangle in the water, go play with the little new brother and them."

"Playing with two milk dolls? Hey, I'm a beast, not an old mother. ”

It's really holding the dragon and not being a divine beast, the little obedient crawled out of the hot spring, although he complained in his mouth, but he was not slow, and obediently crawled slowly towards the carpet.

After dealing with the dead fish fished out, Wang Qifang stood in front of the steps of the wooden house, and the more she looked, the more she felt that something was wrong, so she simply came to Fanggen'er and counted the steps step by step.

One, two, three, four...... Nineteen steps? There are 19 steps from Fanggen to the hot spring pool. And her steps are about half a meter, that is, from the wooden house to the hot spring, a total of less than ten meters?

No, it's not right.

Wang Qifang shook her head, although when she first entered the space, she did not measure the area of the space, but in terms of visual inspection, the whole space is about more than 1,200 square meters, the entire courtyard plus the hot spring pool, there are more than 300 square meters, the open space around the courtyard is about 600 meters, and the edge of the space is a fog wall about four or five meters wide on three sides, occupying the remaining area.

But now, the size of the space seems to have shrunk. Wang Qifang stood at the entrance of the space, that is, on the edge of the courtyard and began to pace evenly towards the wall of fog opposite.

One, two, three...... Fifty-one, from the south end to the north end of the space, there are a total of fifty-one steps, that is, about twenty-five meters. 1.2...... Sixty-six steps, a total of sixty-six steps from the east end to the west end of the space, which is equivalent to thirty-three meters. In this way, the area of the space is only more than 800 square meters, and even if you add the area of the fog wall, it is less than a thousand meters

Is the space really getting smaller?

Wang Qifang sat on the ground in front of the fog wall in a daze, looking at the space she was extremely familiar with in a daze, and question marks kept flashing in her mind - what's going on? How can the space become smaller for no reason? Will it continue to shrink? Will it disappear one day?

Wait, the space area has become smaller, and the aura is still there?

Thinking of this, Wang Qifang suddenly stood up, stumbled to the Bodhi tree by the hot spring, looked up at the big tree with branches and leaves like fallen eggs, closed her eyes hard, and tried to feel the faint fragrance that once lingered on the tip of her nose.

"Mother, what's wrong with you?"

Yuan Niang's worried voice came from her side, waking up Wang Qifang's somewhat confused spirit.

"Eh, it's okay, it's okay"

Wang Qifang shook her head absentmindedly, but her heart was surging like a stormy wave—her aura became lighter

……

Early the next morning, after breakfast, Wang Qifang took out the indigo wrapper given by Li Huaien and put it on the kang table, opened the wrapper, turned the thick booklet upside down, shook it vigorously, and more than a dozen pieces of white paper fell on the wrapper like fallen leaves.

She picked up the pieces of paper and put them neatly in a large envelope, put the booklet and locked it in the kang cabinet, then took the envelope, took the girl's mother-in-law, and went to the middle courtyard in a mighty way.

"Miss Ziyuan, you are, are you the second young grandmother who wants to see the master?"

In front of the study in the middle courtyard, two young men about twenty years old stopped Ziyuan who was fighting in front and asked cautiously.

"Yes, the tired little brother went in and replied, and said that our second young grandmother had something important to ask to see the master."

Shion bent her knees slightly, folded her hands on her waist, and said sweetly.

"Oh, okay, I'll go and tell the master, it's just that the girl is going to tell the second young grandmother, the old man is busy at this time, and he may not have time to see the second young grandmother."

Xiao Jia is very clever, before running an errand, he first said the ugly things to the front, so that he could not see the master, and the second young grandmother was angry again

"It's okay, it's just about the safety of the Zhao family's firm, and I ask the master to take the time to meet our second young grandmother."

Ziyuan obviously got Wang Qifang's instructions in advance, and after hearing Xiao Jiajia's reminder, he said in a soft tone.

"Is it about the safety of the Zhao family's firm? What a big breath," Zhao Yongnian sat behind the desk, closed the account book that was being checked, and smiled coldly: "She is a woman, and she thinks she is a businessman if she can do some small business, hum"

"Master, my subordinates may really have something important to see you," a man about forty years old stood at the desk, he rubbed his somewhat sore neck, and said thoughtfully: "Don't forget, Qingzhou Sanleng Cloth is the business of the second young grandmother, although she didn't buy it single-handedly, but her planning is indispensable." ”

"Well, that makes sense," Zhao Yongnian pondered for a moment, raised his chin at the man, signaled him to retreat to the inner room of the study, and then instructed the little maid waiting outside the door: "Go, please let the second young grandmother come in"

"Qi Niang asks the master for peace"

Wang Qifang came to Zhao Yongnian's study for the first time, she peeked at President Zhao, whose face was sinking like water, the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, and she gave him a blessing without being humble or arrogant.

"Well, get up," Zhao Yongnian has a very complicated feeling about Wang Qifang's daughter-in-law, on the one hand, Wang Qifang was born in a famous family, and she was able to marry into the Zhao family, and gave birth to the eldest grandson of the Zhao family, which can be regarded as helping the Zhao family integrate into the blood of the nobility, which is a merit; On the other hand, she was cowardly and useless, which caused Erlang's backyard to be restless, his wife and concubine were incompatible, and she made many jokes in vain, causing the Zhao family to become the laughing stock of the capital, and this time it almost made the Zhao family and the Haicheng Li family break up, which was excessive.

There are merits and demerits, but they can't be counteracted, Zhao Yongnian looked at Wang Qifang's gaze, a little more cold, and a little more alienated between the words: "There are no outsiders here, if there is anything important, let's talk about it." ”

Wang Qifang is not a fool, of course she can see the dissatisfaction with her in the eyes of Master Zhao. However, whether she is satisfied or dissatisfied, when she leaves the Zhao Mansion, it has nothing to do with her.

took out the envelope from his sleeve pocket, took out the pieces of paper inside and put it on the desk, Wang Qifang said softly: "Master, look at this." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yongnian didn't know what Wang Qifang meant, so he didn't care much and reached out to take it, and looked at it, "Zhao's firm's cloth tickets, wine tickets, and silverware tickets...... Second young grandmother, don't say that you don't recognize the bills issued by the Zhao family. ”

Hmph, that's what she's called important?

Zhao Yongnian slapped the bill on the table angrily and asked coldly.

"Don't be angry, master, the daughter-in-law is the young grandmother of the Zhao family, of course she recognizes our family's bills," Wang Qifang was not affected by Zhao Yongnian's ridicule at all, smiled slightly, and said: "It's just that the daughter-in-law has a little doubt, if someone takes our bills and comes to exchange for goods at the same time, does our firm have the ability to cash them all?" ”

P: One more, there are still oh relatives who continue to support in the evening, (∩_∩) Thank you
