Chapter 107: Coming in Torrent (4)
I see!
Wang Qifang looked at the four palace maids who flashed out of the inner hall a little speechlessly, half-lowered her head, covered the sarcasm in her eyes, and said in a panicked tone: "Thank you for the reminder of the third princess, it is all the concubines who are not well considered, and the four nobles who have been slow The concubine thought that she would go out with her husband, but there was no one to take care of the Guogong Mansion, but fortunately, the four sisters were capable and loyal, so they left them and a few personal old servants in Pingzhou, and took care of the grandfather and the eldest lady on my behalf but forgot that the four sisters were nobles given by the emperor, Qi Niang really deserved to be damned, and she actually treated the four sisters slowly, also begged the third princess for forgiveness. ”
Saying that, Wang Qifang was about to kowtow, and when the third princess saw this, she hurriedly called someone to stop: "Okay, this palace knows that you want to keep capable people in the house to take care of the two old men, but outsiders don't know, if which imperial history knows about you, a "big disrespect", wouldn't you still have to implicate the grandfather of the country?" ”
Wang Qifang chuckled in her heart, she understood that this was a threat from the third princess, so she didn't think much about it, and kowtowed again and again: "It's all the fault of the concubine, she actually failed Your Majesty's Longen, it is really a crime that deserves death, and I ask Your Majesty to forgive your sins, and the third princess to forgive your sins!" ”
Seeing that Wang Qifang's attitude was humble and her head was buckled, the third princess gave a satisfied look to the people who stopped Wang Qifang, and motioned for them to help people up.
The two shì women hinted at the master, and they grabbed Wang Qifang's arm and forcibly pulled her up.
"Okay, this palace is for the sake of your loyalty, and this time I will bypass you. Your Majesty, this palace will also ask for guilt on your behalf. Okay, don't be too afraid, remember to be loyal to Your Majesty in the future, keep your duty, and then leave. ”
The third princess lit a chair and said in a familiar voice, "Sit down, it's not an outsider, what else do you do in front of this palace?" ”
The words of the third princess sound like a complaint between acquaintances, but in Wang Qifang's ears, it does have another meaning: be honest, don't do things that damage the court and rebel against the emperor. The Li family's Danshu Iron Coupon can save you once, but next time you won't be so lucky.
Wang Qifang quietly translated the words of the third princess in her heart, "her face was still stunned and panicked, and she sat down on the chair with trembling leans over, and when the third princess finished saying this, she hurriedly stood up again, lowered her head and answered obediently, "Yes" Yes, what the third princess said is very true, the concubine will not forget the instructions of the third princess, and she will be loyal to His Majesty in the future and abide by her duty. ”
"Hmm" that's right. After the third princess knocked Wang Qifang through, and saw that she had a good attitude in admitting her guilt, she nodded with satisfaction, smiled slightly, and said, "This palace heard that you cooperated with several Confucian merchants a few days ago to develop and plant herbs together?" ”
If the beating was an appetizer, the next thing is today's meal. Wang Qifang's spirit was highly concentrated, and she thought about the words of the third princess in her heart almost immediately, for fear that she would miss any information.
As soon as the third princess's words fell, Wang Qifang stood up respectfully again and replied, "Back to the third princess's words, this is indeed the case." The last time the concubine entered the elixir offered to His Majesty, it was the last batch treasured in the concubine's treasury. The concubine knew that these medicinal materials were of great significance to His Majesty, but she was worried that the newly planted medicinal materials would not be able to supply His Majesty's needs normally, so after repeated consideration, "I specially selected the Confucian merchants of the Confucian Chamber of Commerce with the name of heaven and earth, and worked with them to grow medicinal herbs for Your Majesty." ”
Wang Qifang said this with two intentions: first, to tell the third princess that she really had no stock in her hand, "If Emperor Longqing wants it again, he can only wait for the newly planted batch: second, in the future, this herb is not her exclusive possession, even if the herb has a problem, it is not her responsibility alone, and she also hopes that the third princess will not keep an eye on herself."
"Well, you can share your wealth for Your Majesty's sake, but you are not disloyal. However, medicinal materials are very important, and we must not be negligent. Even if you partner with everyone, you have to do it well in the end, do you understand?! ”
The third princess didn't care about Wang Qifang's words, she only had one meaning, that is, whether the herbs were good or not, I just had to find you Wang Qifang to be responsible.
The words of the third princess are so straightforward, how could Wang Qifang not understand? She quietly pursed the corners of her lips, hoping that Li Jingtian would act quickly, so that she could transfer this aunt out of the capital as soon as possible.
However, no matter how much she complained in her heart, Wang Qifang couldn't show the slightest expression, so she had to nod again and again, and responded: "The concubine understands, thank you for the third princess." ”
The third princess gently led the way, what the Zheng family was busy with these days, of course she knew. Well, Brother Bihuang also heard about it, "Hmph, these people really think that the capital is their Houhuā Garden, and they can let them toss around?"
However, the third princess is still satisfied with Wang Qifang's performance, and if she can understand the Li family's movements more accurately, the third princess will be more assured. Therefore, she flew a pigeon to pass the book to a few people in Pingzhou, and asked them to rush to the capital.
Today, the three masters clearly beat Wang Qifang again, believing that even if she is disgusted with these four palace maids, she will honestly carry them with her, unless the Li family really wants to rebel.
After talking about business, the third princess casually told Wang Qifang about the interesting story of the capital, and after drinking a cup of tea, she ordered the four palace maids to serve Mrs. Wang, and sent Wang Qifang out of the princess's mansion.
Alas, yes. This time, the house is lively.
Wang Qifang sat in the carriage, shook her head with a wry smile, and thought that there were two other cousins in the house with ulterior motives, and her head was big.
But what happened next told Wang Qifang that this was far from enough, and the inner courtyard of the Li family could be more lively.
A few days later, Lu Qiuniang's daughter came back, the little lady didn't come alone, there was a nun with her who led the practice.
"Grandma, Jing'an is my savior, if it weren't for her, I, I would have been captured by the people sent by my father." The little girl in a light pink sè fine kudzu cloth skirt, Jiāojiāo timidly stood in front of Wang Qifang, and said pitifully: "You are willing to take our mother and daughter to the house, it is already for the sake of relatives, it stands to reason that I, I should not cause you any more trouble, and bring an outsider."
It's just, woo, it's just that the nunnery was fired, and Jing'an is an orphan girl, so there is nowhere to go except to follow me to the capital.
Speaking of this, the little lady fell to her knees with a puff and begged, "Please ask the young grandmother to be kind and take in Sister Jing'an, she is just leading the practice, not a real nun, and will not bring any bad luck to the house." ”
Wang Qifang doesn't like this kind of jiāojiāo weak woman very much, to be honest, she listened to Lu Qiuniang's 1 story "I thought that since Lu Qiuniang's daughter could escape from the house with her mother,
should also be a cool woman, but, who knows that there is indeed such a sick Shih Tzu appearance of a weak willow and a wind.
If it weren't for the wrong dynasty, she really thought that the one kneeling in front of her was the famous Yangzhou thin horse.
Wang Qifang thought too much for a while, and was so stunned that she forgot to give a reply.
The little lady whimpered and cried for a while, but she didn't see Wang Qifang responding, she quietly raised her eyes and looked at her, and saw that the faces of the people on the main seat were sinking like water, and she couldn't see her joy and anger, and she didn't know what the other party's attitude was for a while, so she had to beg again: "Woo, young grandmother, you are so noble and so kind, you will not let a weak woman live on the streets, right?" For the sake of my mother and me, please let Sister Jing'an stay in the house, right?! ”
Somehow, when Wang Qifang heard this, Jī Lingling shuddered. The heart speaks, hey, why does this sound so familiar? Where have you heard of it? And, hearing this, she always had a feeling of being bored, as if she had eaten something unclean.
"Cousin-in-law, I know we're causing you trouble, but for your cousin's sake, let Jing'an stay with Rou'er. It's a big deal, transfer some people from my yard to take care of her, okay? ”
Lu Qiuniang also came up, stood next to her daughter, and knelt down while talking.
Seeing this, Wang Qifang hurriedly asked people to stop her, and said with a smile: "Hey, look at what my cousin said, how big is it, do you still need to ask for it?" Hehe, since it's Rou'er's benefactor, let's live with you in the East Cross Courtyard, fortunately, there are still a few empty houses there, just stay. As for the maid? Hmm, Mama Chen still has a few in her hands, and I'll send it to Rou'er when the rules are taught, I don't know what my cousin thinks? ”
"Thank you, cousin." Lu Qiuniang lowered her head, thanked her with a sigh of gratitude, and specially explained to her daughter, "Rou'er, don't you thank your cousin and aunt?!" ”
, "Rou'er thanked the young grandmother. You are such a kind and nice person. ”
I don't know if it's deliberate, Rou'er didn't call Wang Qifang "cousin aunt" according to her mother's instructions, but still insisted on calling the young grandmother.
Wang Qifang resisted the urge to hold her forehead, and said with a smile: "Hehe, they are all relatives, where can they be so polite." Rou'er has been on the road for a day, she must be tired, come on, don't you wait for the cousin and Rou'er to go back to the room to rest?! ”
Zizhu had already seen the master's displeasure, and when he heard this, he hurriedly agreed, stretched out his hand to summon the two little girls, and "invited" Lu Qiuniang's mother and daughter out.
Looking at Rou'er's soft back and nose, Wang Qifang slapped her forehead, and finally remembered why that sentence was so familiar, and suddenly felt that she couldn't cry or laugh. I secretly said in my heart, are there still colleagues who love Qu-? If not, how can it be this tune?
"Kindness? Benevolent? Noble? Isn't that scolding?
Pursing the corners of her lips disdainfully, Wang Qifang called Qingfeng "Go, check what is going on with this Rou'er and Jing'an?" And what about Lu Qiuniang's husband's family? I want detailed information. ”
Qingfeng agreed and went down.
Zi Zhu, who had just gone out, walked in with a strange face, and curtsied his knees and said, "Grandma, there is someone outside the door who wants to see you." ”
"Who?" Wang Qifang picked up the teacup, although she didn't say much, she just felt that her heart was on fire, and her throat was a little dry.
, "The helper said that she was the fiancée of the eldest young master"
Poof, Wang Qifang finally couldn't help it, a sip of tea squirted out, and almost blurted out and scolded: Don't let people live, what kind of messy people are these, why did they run to the door in the blink of an eye? !
