Chapter 008 Cook Lady Qin's Clan

"Home?"

Wang Qifang stopped, lowered her eyes, covered the trace of mockery under her eyes, and muttered distractedly: "Go home?" Second Young Master, didn't you, didn't you say you didn't want to see me? Now, really let me go home? ”

At that time, Zhao Tianqing stood on the steps and scolded her with great hatred and indifference, telling her to get out of ...... I don't think about the half affection of husband and wife at all.

Although she has not personally experienced that scene, some fragments buried in the depths of her memory always remind Wang Qifang of how she was swept away and exiled to the mountains.

Now, half a year has passed, and Zhao Tianqing suddenly said to her affectionately: "Qi Niang, let's go home"

As if everything in the past has never happened, Zhao Tianqing still looks like a considerate husband, it seems that he and Wang Qifang have never been separated, and they have never been isolated, which makes Wang Qifang unacceptable.

"......" Zhao Tianqing listened to Wang Qifang's muttering, a little embarrassment flashed on his handsome face, and then he rubbed his nose and said with a little shame, "Alas, Qi Niang, it was all her husband's fault that day, and she mistakenly believed the words of the slut of the Su family, so that the lady was wronged." However, don't worry, now the Su family has been sent to Orchid Yuan by his wife, and she has taken back her right to be a housekeeper. ”

Oh? Has the Su family, who has lost its use value, also been thrown into the cold palace?

Wang Qifang secretly slandered herself, thinking that when the Su family came to the Zhao family as a concubine with a large dowry, Zhao Tianqing got two lucrative silver buildings from the Su family, plus N more invisible resources, it was really a double harvest of money.

Su is also well-behaved, busy with Zhao Tianqing, helping him to entertain the family members of his business partners, and helping him check the accounts and sort out the business, which is simply a model of Zhao Tianqing's unparalleled virtuous helper and wife

Compared with the Su family, Wang Qifang, who lost her dowry, lost her mother's support, and was cowardly, in Zhao Tianqing's eyes, was like a shoe, and she had a great posture of abandoning it.

It's not been ten years now, and the east of the river has become the west of the river?

Or, the temptation of cotton cloth was too great, so that in Zhao Tianqing's mind, it overwhelmed the property in Su's hands?

“…… There is also Zisu, Mrs. ordered someone to try it, and the things of the day were all caused by this dead girl, and she lied at both ends in order to frame you and Su, and this is what happened in the garden

Don't worry, your wife has already disposed of that slut on your behalf. Of course, what Zisu says is also your dowry, and my wife said that when you return to the house, she can send it as she wants, and Mrs. will make the decision for you. ”

Zhao Tianqing saw that Wang Qifang was silent, thinking that she was dissatisfied with the result of Su's treatment, so she hurriedly changed the topic.

Perilla? Wang Qifang's mind immediately appeared with that young and beautiful face and delicate falling ponytail. It seems that the Su family has not completely fallen out of favor, and in order to keep the Su family, Zhao Tianqing simply took out the perilla as a scapegoat.

"Qi Niang, let it pass in the past, it's October now, and the New Year is about to be celebrated, you and the children don't have a reason to celebrate the festival in Zhuangzi," Zhao Tianqing said a basket of good words, but Wang Qifang still lowered his head, his two hands kept rubbing his clothes, and he didn't reply in half a sentence, so he had to take out the killer weapon, "In addition, Yuan Niang hasn't seen you for several months, and I miss you very much." When I was about to go out, the little girl came to see me, saying that I wanted me to greet the lady for her."

Sure enough, at the mention of Yuan Niang, Wang Qifang couldn't remain silent anymore, she slowly raised her head and looked at Zhao Tianqing seriously: "Second young master, the concubine is also homesick, and she misses her wife and Yuan Niang, it's just-"

"Just what?" Zhao Tianqing saw that Wang Qifang finally opened her mouth, knowing that she had been moved by herself, and now she might have to put forward conditions, the tense heartstrings in his heart were loosened, and he hurriedly asked.

To tell the truth, Zhao Tianqing is not afraid that Wang Qifang will say "just", he is afraid that she will not mention the conditions, and with the conditions, he can find Wang Qifang's weaknesses, so that he can better handle her.

"Actually, the concubine also understands that the past can't just be blamed on the second young master," Wang Qifang pondered for a moment and said: "There are some things that the concubine body did not do well, and she didn't have to worry about it, the second young master was disappointed, and every time the concubine thought about it, she felt very guilty." Especially this time the concubine left the house on that occasion, although now that the matter has been clarified, the people can ......"

Zhao Tianqing hurriedly waved his hand, "Qi Niang, I know what you are worried about, don't worry, if you go back, then the subordinates dare to be disrespectful to you, you go back directly to your wife, and your wife will make decisions for you."

"Thank you Mrs. and Second Young Master," Wang Qifang saw that Zhao Tianqing didn't understand what he meant, interrupted him, and continued: "It's just that Mrs. is also a person with Spring and Autumn Period, and it is already unfilial for a concubine to be a daughter-in-law and not be able to help Mrs. take care of housework, so how dare you bother Mrs. for her own affairs?" ”

Speaking of this, Wang Qifang turned her head to look at Zhao Tianqing, and said very seriously: "Second young master, the concubine is the second young grandmother who is being married by the Zhao family. Now that the concubine has come to understand and has our son, even if the concubine is not for herself, she will be strong for her son...... So, the concubine thought-"

Zhao Tianqing paused, and immediately understood what Wang Qifang meant.

Well, Qi Niang wants to take back the sovereignty of the housekeeper.

However, this is not a bad thing, listening to what she means, it is clearly to pave the way for her son. Because only by firmly grasping the stewardship of the Zhao family's inner house can Wang Qifang have the opportunity to cultivate contacts and develop his own power, and only then can he have the capital to help his son fight for the family property.

En'en, it seems that as he guessed, Qi Niang may have a grudge against the Zhao family and Zhao Tianqing, but she still values her children the most. Now for the sake of his children, he is taking the initiative to take power.

Good thing

Zhao Tianqing's mind quickly turned, and immediately analyzed the pros and cons of this matter for himself, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, Qi Niang, what you mean, for the husband to understand." Hehe, in fact, I am the sister-in-law of the Zhao family, and the middle feed of the Zhao family should be presided over by the lady, and the past ......

I won't mention the past, and now the lady is willing to take the initiative to take on this burden, and it's hard for others to say that she is a husband, but I still understand my wife, if she hears this, she can only be happy. Okay, since the lady is willing to go through the training, then when we go home, we will talk to Mrs. Haosheng, huh? ”

That's a promise, right?

Wang Qifang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a grateful smile: "Thank you second young master, concubine, thank you wife"

"So, when are we going home?"

The matter of cotton cloth is imminent, and Zhao Tianqing can't help but be in a hurry. He walked a few steps to the round table, propped his hands on the table, and asked eagerly.

"It stands to reason that the second young master put down his official business to pick up the concubine in person, and the concubine should follow the second young master back as soon as possible." Wang Qifang saw that the initial goal had been achieved, and her tone was a little more calm, her eyebrows frowned slightly, with a little embarrassment, and said: "However, there are too many mundane things on the concubine's side, and they still need to be sorted out." Besides, the children are also small, and in a hurry, I'm afraid their bodies won't be able to support it."

"That's—"

"Second young master, the concubine knows that you are busy with business and can't delay time. Why don't you go back to the capital to get down to business, let the concubine deal with the things in the Zhuangzi, and then take the child back, how about it? Also, if the concubine remembers correctly, October 22 is the wife's fifty-fifth birthday, and the concubine will definitely rush back to the house before the wife's birthday. ”

October 22nd? Well, it's the third day of October, and there are still more than ten days to go, and the cotton on the Zhao family's plantation is estimated to be picked in the next few days when it matures late this year, and it will take a few days to dry and dry thoroughly. Well, it is estimated that the cotton will be processed well, and Qi Niang will be able to return to the Zhao family, and at that time, the Zhao family will be able to rush to the market before the Spring Festival.

The index finger tapped lightly on the table, and Zhao Tianqing crackled in his heart and counted the accounts.

"Second Young Master?"

Wang Qifang saw that the other party did not react, so she hurriedly reminded softly.

"Oh, just do as the lady said," Zhao Tianqing came back to his senses and nodded, "It's just that there is one thing for the husband, I want to ask the lady"

"What's the matter? The second young master is too polite, we are husband and wife, as long as the concubine can do it, the concubine will never refuse"

Wang Qifang's face was full of virtuous smiles, but she secretly slandered in her heart: Why, I can't help it at this time, I want to talk about cotton?

“…… Forget it, let's wait for the lady to go back, let's discuss it carefully."

Somehow, Zhao Tianqing stood on Wang Qifang's territory, always had a feeling of unsteadiness, and always felt that he couldn't be upright or strong, and he couldn't open his mouth about cotton. He paused, and asked in a roundabout way: "When the lady goes back this time, will the people on the Zhuangzi also take it away?" ”

"Well, the second young master doesn't ask, the concubine body also has to report to you," Wang Qifang resisted the urge to sneer, and continued to pretend to be virtuous with her neck, "In Zhuangzi these days, the concubine has received a lot of people who can be used, and it just so happens that the concubine's subordinates in the mansion also need to be rectified, and it is estimated that there will be a lot of vacancies." The concubine wanted to pick some innocent, clever and capable subordinates from Zhuangzi to bring back, but she was worried that the rules of the house would be broken. After all, most of the descendants of our Zhao family are born to the family, and few of them are bought from outside. Rao wants to buy it, and it is also through the tooth shop under the name of the Zhao family, and there has never been an example of buying and selling privately. There's Madame—"

"Hehe, Mrs. has me there, lady, these things in the house, everything is up to you. The people who can be used in Zhuangzi are safer to bring back to Beijing, although Feng Tiezhu has two breaths to take care of here, after all, they are not our henchmen, it is difficult to ensure that they are selfish"

"What the second young master said is very true, the concubine will do what the second young master instructs"

Wang Qifang hurriedly nodded yes, and seemed to agree with Zhao Tianqing's words.

The next day, Zhao Tianqing, who thought that it had been done, left Qingquan Villa with eight catties early in the morning, and before leaving, he specially went to see the eldest sister Zhao Chuniang, and the sister and brother closed the door and muttered for a long time.

After seeing off the other visitors, Wang Qifang began to pack up her belongings and arrange the personnel of the Zhuangzi.

"Huh? Brother and sister, how many people are you going to take away? ”

After the full moon banquet, Zhao Chuniang did not leave, but stayed in the villa to help her younger brother supervise Wang Qifang.

When she saw Wang Qifang taking Mama Zhao to settle down, her eyes swept over the few people who were going to be taken away, and she asked in surprise.

"Yes, these two girls are my personal servants, so I have to take them away;

These three mothers were given to me by my third aunt, so naturally I can't stay in Zhuangzi;

Only this cook, she won't go back to the house with me. Because she had something to do to go to the capital, she specially begged me to take her by the way."

"Cook?"

Zhao Chuniang looked up and down at the Lisuo woman in front of her, and her younger brother said that when her younger brother and sister took those subordinates, they should pay more attention to see that she took away those strangers.

Now she took a look at it, except for the cook lady Qin, the others were all people who served around Qi Niang, and it was impossible for them to be the heirs of the Zhou family.

Could it be that the person my brother is looking for is the Qin family? Otherwise, how could Wang Qifang bring someone who didn't go back with her into Beijing?

P: Make up for yesterday's one, a certain Sa smirked
