Chapter 031: Big Brother Arrives in Beijing (2)

Eldest brother? Wang Qifang paused, and after a while, she remembered, yes, just now she thought that this year's Spring Festival was about to start, and her cheap eldest brother was also here to participate in the Enke of the son of the family, and the day should come.

"What about faith? Show me."

Wang Qifang's mind turned slightly, but there was no expression on her face, she turned her hand and took the envelope, opened it and saw that there were a few short words on the white letterhead, "I already know the things in Beijing, everything is fine at home, don't read it"

'The matter in Beijing' should refer to the matter between her and Zhao Tianqing. Why did this eldest brother hear that his sister-in-law and brother-in-law had a quarrel to the point of dividing their property and living separately, and there was neither reprimand nor comfort in the letter?

It seems that the relationship between his predecessor and this eldest brother is really weak.

Wait, it's not right, last time she obviously heard Xiaoya say what the eldest uncle was like and how well-intentioned, even Mama Zhao looked like the eldest young master took care of their mother and daughter, if you think about it from this point, the eldest young master doesn't seem to be completely ignoring herself.

Wang Qifang held the letter paper, her face sank like water, and Mama Zhao stood aside and saw that she didn't say a word, so she asked tentatively, "What, isn't that what the letter says?" What else does the eldest young master have to explain? ”

"Oh, no," Wang Qifang thought for a long time, but there was too little impression of Young Master Wang in her mind, and the two of them had even less intersection when they grew up.

However, things can't be seen on the surface, Wang Qifang suddenly thought of the past life that he had 'dreamed of', squinted his eyes slightly, shook his head and said, "The eldest brother said that he already knows about the affairs of the capital, and also said that everything is fine in Qingyuan's hometown, so let me not worry, as for him, he will be in the capital soon." ”

"Hehe, that's good, that's good," Mama Zhao didn't see the letter, so naturally whatever Wang Qifang said, she believed it. Hearing that the eldest young master was really going to Beijing, she was very happy, and rubbed her big hands happily, "Oh, since the eldest young master went out to study that year, it has been four or five years, and the old slave really misses him." By the way, the young grandmother and Brother Xing should also come together. ”

"It didn't say anything in this letter," Wang Qifang saw that it was not a matter of standing in the courtyard, so she folded the letter and put it away, and then beckoned Mama Zhao into the main house.

Sitting on the clinical kang, Wang Qifang pondered for a moment and asked, "By the way, Mama Zhao, how is my sister-in-law's temperament?" As you know, I've seen her two or three times, and every time I see her, it's a room full of people, and I haven't had any solitary relationships with her, and I don't know how she behaves. ”

This is true, Wang Qifang doesn't have much impression of her cheap big brother, let alone her sister-in-law Cui. I just vaguely remember that my sister-in-law's maiden name is Cui, who is a side branch of the Cui family in Qinghe, married to the eldest brother for nearly ten years, and has only one sister-in-law, Wang Wenxing, and I don't know anything else.

Now seeing that the eldest brother is about to enter Beijing, although the letter does not mention whether the Cui family is with him, but according to Mrs. Wang's temperament, since she wants to squeeze Wang Jinyu out of the Wang family, it must be a pot, and she will never let Wang Jinyu enter Beijing alone, and her daughter-in-law and eldest grandson are still left at home.

If Wang Qifang's guess is not wrong, and Cui's family also followed Wang Dashao into Beijing, then how to get along with this sister-in-law is the focus of Wang Qifang's next step.

After all, in the eyes of the world, Wang Jinyu's family is Wang Qifang's closest mother's family, and they are also Wang Qifang's last support. If she and Zhao Tianqing reconcile and leave, it will be the eldest brother and sister-in-law who will be responsible for supporting their mother and son in the future.

This is not Wang Qifang's idea, but the social customs of the Great Zhou, following the old practice of the Tang Dynasty, a woman who is widowed or separated from her husband (note that she is not divorced) will be sent back to her parents' home, except for the alimony given by her husband's family, the woman almost has to live on her mother's family. After the death of his parents, he was supported by his brother and younger brother, and his brother and brother passed away, and his nephew was raised, and after a hundred years, he could be buried by his parents and enjoy the sacrifice of his mother's descendants.

And in Wang Qifang's current situation, she is only one step away from making peace with Zhao Tianqing. After she reconciles with her husband and leaves, if she does not marry again, she will inevitably deal with her sister-in-law Cui in the future. Now she doesn't even know about other people's situations, what do she do to get along with others?

"En, Qi Niang don't worry, our young grandmother is the same as you, she is a noble lady of a family, and the rules and etiquette don't need to be said, just that temperament is one in a million," mentioning the Wang Da * milk, Zhao Mama's old face smiled chrysanthemums, and her mouth was full of praise and said: "Speaking of which, this family affair was personally arranged by the eldest uncle, at that time his old man was an official in Jiaozhou, and he had a good relationship with the chief Shi Cui there...... The eldest young grandmother is the niece of Master Cui...... As for our master, because of the matter of the first wife, he felt ashamed of the eldest young master and the Li family, so he agreed to this family business. ”

Wang Qifang leaned on the pillow, listening to Mama Zhao's explanation, while secretly analyzing. Hmm, it seems that his cheap father did something to be sorry for his mother, and let the Li family catch the handle, otherwise, the eldest son's marriage will never let his uncle interfere and call the shots.

Just, what is it? Wang Qifang didn't know anything about those and wanted to ask Mama Zhao, but she was worried that she would have too many scruples to say, so she had to suppress the doubts in her heart and continue to ask: "Sister-in-law is from a famous family, so she must have an excellent temperament." ”

"That's not it," Mama Zhao nodded vigorously, indicating that what she said was true, "Although the old slave doesn't have much contact with the eldest and young grandmothers, but just say one or two things, Qi Niang, you can understand what the temperament of the eldest and young grandmothers is...... I think when we were in the Wang family, Mrs. was mean to you, and even those decent people in the courtyard also abused you, the eldest young master is a man, he can't ask about these trivial matters in the inner courtyard, only the eldest young grandmother has helped us many times behind Mrs. Wang's back. ”

Thinking of those unbearable pasts, the corners of Mama Zhao's eyes shone with water, she wiped the tears on her face with her sleeve, and said, "...... The old slave is just a subordinate, and Mrs. Wang pinched the Dalang brothers, so sometimes even if she protects Qi Niang, she fails to protect herself. Thanks to the young grandmother, I don't know how many times I have helped Qi Niang, and every time I help you, Mrs. Wang can't find out...... Especially when you get married, if it weren't for the young grandmother supporting you, I am afraid that these dowries would also be taken away by Mrs. Wang. ”

"Huh? And what's going on? I—Why don't I know at all? ”

Wang Qifang thought about it hard, and in the remaining memories of the deity, except for Cui's demure and docile face, she had no impression of what Mama Zhao said.

"Hey, at that time, the girl had a complaint against the eldest young master in your heart, blaming him for refusing to get close to you, even the eldest and youngest grandmother, you also blamed it," Mama Zhao sat on the small pestle in front of the kang, looked at Wang Qifang with pity, patted the back of her hand gently with her rough big hand, and said: "As long as the old slave mentions the eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother, you are not happy to listen." The eldest young master and the eldest young grandmother are also worried that they will protect you too much, attracting the attention of Mrs. Wang, and they are also faint when they see you...... Alas, in fact, Mama also knows that Qi Niang doesn't want to be close to her eldest brother and sister-in-law, but she was really afraid of being bullied by Mrs. Wang and the black-hearted person when she was a child, and she was also worried about causing trouble to the eldest young master, so she deliberately said something resentful of the eldest young master when she was in front of people. ”

"Mama, I don't remember anything when I was a child," Wang Qifang has always had a doubt in her heart, she planned to Zhao Mama's words, and asked, "It's just that I don't understand one thing, when I was a child, my brother was worried that Mrs. Wang would hurt our brothers and sisters behind his back, and he was cautious and careful in everything he said and did, I can understand why I should be afraid of that Zheng family when I grow up?" ”

It's not that she is suspicious and doubts Wang Jinyu's sincerity to her, it's really because Wang Dashao's overly cautious behavior makes her too puzzled.

"This old slave doesn't know either, but you haven't had a deep relationship with Mrs. Wang, so you don't know her temperament. That woman is simply an unreasonable woman, relying on the lord to trust her, and she has done a lot of black hands to the lord's concubines, that is, the eldest young master, she has calculated several times, as long as the eldest young master is a little disobedient to her, she will cry and scold the eldest young master for not being filial...... In addition, presumably the eldest young master is also worried about the recommended place, if he is rumored to have a bad character and is unfilial to his mother-in-law, the place will be taken up by Mrs. Wang's son. ”

Mama Zhao listened to Wang Qifang's question, tilted her head and thought about it, and guessed.

Well, if it's for Enke's recommendation, it makes sense for Wang Jinyu to tolerate Mrs. Wang everywhere. But intuitively, Wang Qifang still felt that there was something else hidden in this.

"Well, Mama said so, I understand, since my brother will arrive in Beijing soon, the courtyard in front of me must be sorted out as soon as possible," Wang Qifang put aside the doubts in her heart, and turned sideways to discuss with Mama Zhao, "I just don't know if my sister-in-law and Brother Xing'er came together, or I should make enough preparations first, don't wait for my sister-in-law to come, and let my sister-in-law be wronged in a hurry." ”

"En, the old slave thinks so too, but if the young grandmother also comes, I'm afraid it will be ...... to live in the outer courtyard."

Mama Zhao raised her eyes in embarrassment and looked at the main house, and hesitated: "It stands to reason that this house is the property under your name of Qi Niang, but the eldest young master is the eldest sister-in-law, and the eldest young grandmother is the eldest sister-in-law, and she has taken good care of you, this yard ......."

"It's easy to talk about the courtyard, I can live wherever I live," Wang Qifang nodded, she understood Mama Zhao's concerns. She also followed Mama Zhao's line of sight, looked around at the newly decorated house, and said: "Fortunately, when the house was renovated, the courtyard of Sanjin was repaired, and the decorative furniture was similar. ”

Not for the sake of saving face, just because in the Wang family back then, the young grandmother could take care of her under Mrs. Wang's high-pressure policy, and she should also respect this unfamiliar sister-in-law.

And the most important point, this house was originally exchanged for his mother's shop, which can be regarded as the inheritance of the Li family. And she was already very guilty for occupying other people's daughter's body, how could she still occupy all the property left by the Li family?
