Zhao's sad and weak appearance not only greatly subverted Wang Qiao's previous perception of his mother, but also made him even more helpless. But he didn't want to give in, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Xiuqin looked at Zhao like this, and persuaded Wang Qiao in a low voice: "Cousin, I don't know if this matter will be successful or not, cousin should go down first." My aunt is not happy in Japan these days, don't make my aunt angry first because I don't know if it will be done. ”

Zhao cried: "He has been bought by other people's little favors, where can he take care of my life and death." ”

At this time, Xiao Cui's voice came from outside the door: "Old lady, Old Man Qi sent someone to ask if the third master is back, and ask if there is anything wrong." ”

When Zhao heard this, he was even more annoyed. She asked several times in the second half of the day if she saw her son, he didn't take it seriously, and now that his son is back well, he will buy it. Her foolish son is like this.

Zhao said angrily: "What can it be? Ah Qiao came back well, and he came to ask, what did you do earlier? If there was something, no one would have taken care of it for so long, and the person would have died a long time ago! ”

Xiuqin snorted a few times in a row, "Auntie is so angry, you can't talk like this during the New Year." ”

Zhao also regretted it after speaking, and it was the most taboo to say unlucky things during the New Year, and it was also about his son. It's all to blame for Qi Younian, who plays with his own family all day long, and just lets his son and her have a relationship.

Xiaocui stood outside in a daze, she was just a twelve or thirteen-year-old child, she didn't know how to reply to the Qi family, she couldn't tell the old lady to the Qi family, right?

After waiting for a long time, there was no reliable person to give her a sincere word, so she had to ask again: "Old lady, how can the slave and maid give people a reply?" ”

Zhao said angrily: "Tell them that we are living well." Thinking that his son was deceived by others like this and didn't treat him as a mother, Zhao was sad again, pulled the handkerchief in Xiuqin's hand, and pressed it on his face.

…………

The next day, Wang Qiao found Qi Younian and said that he had a few words that he wanted to talk about in private.

Seeing that it was almost the tenth day of the first lunar month, Qi Younian originally wanted to find a chance to talk to Wang Qiao. Therefore, when he heard that Wang Qiao had something to say to him, he directly led Wang Qiao into his room, let the kitchen warm the wine, and prepared peanuts and bacon slices for the wine.

Qi Younian was just sitting cross-legged on the kang and was about to let Wang Qiao sit too, but he saw Wang Qiao lift the hem of his robe and kneel on the ground.

Qi Younian was startled, hurriedly pulled his shoes, and went down to the ground to help Wang Qiao up, "What are you doing, you have something to say." What can't we say about the love of our grandfather? Come on, come on, the wine is also set, let's talk well. ”

Qi Younian dragged Wang Qiao to the kang, and the two sat down again.

Qi Younian picked up the wine jug, and Wang Qiao hurriedly took it, "I'm coming, how can I let the eldest uncle pour wine?" ”

Wang Qiao dried up a small cup of wine in front of him, and said in a hurry: "Yesterday, my mother and I went to Dajue Temple to offer incense...... I happened to run into ...... There is a steward of the royal palace who said that he was recruiting stewards......"

Wang Qiao really couldn't go on. During the Chinese New Year, the steward of the palace went to Dajue Temple to recruit the steward, and he himself felt that no one believed this kind of words.

Helplessly, he drank another glass of wine, but could no longer open his mouth.

Qi Younian looked at Wang Qiao's speech, half-talking, and half-talking, and didn't know that Wang Qiao was in a dilemma. It is estimated that it was the Zhao family who made trouble, and Wang Qiao was not good at blaming the matter on his mother, so he was so embarrassed.

Qi Younian filled Wang Qiao with wine, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, I know you're embarrassed." You just go back to Haozhou, if you don't do construction by yourself, it is also a good livelihood to be a steward for others. Okay, don't think so much about doing it wherever you go, no matter where you go, just do it well for others, don't embarrass your dad and our brothers. ”

Qi Younian said a few words, Wang Qiao almost shed tears, his eyes were red, and he wanted to go down to the ground to thank him. was pulled by Qi Younian, "Okay, let's have a good drink." It's better if you stay in the capital, we can see each other often in the future, and we can drink from time to time. ”

This scene of drinking didn't end until the end of the time, Wang Qiao had something on his mind, and he was drunk, and the two little guys helped him back to the room.

He woke up in the middle of the night. Under a dim oil lamp, Zhao leaned on a chair by the kang, half-asleep and guarded him.

Wang Qiao sighed secretly and closed his eyes again. He didn't complain about anything, only that his life was bad.

Li Erming's daughter-in-law Zhang really didn't say empty words, and in the first half of the seventh day of the new year, Zhang took her mother-in-law and took a carriage to Qi's house.

Qi Younian knew that the Zhao family had already had a knot with him, and he paid extra attention to the affairs of the Wang family, and had already told Mama Liu that there were people looking for Wang Qiao and the Zhao family, don't ask too much, just lead it in.

Mama Liu got the order, and when she heard that someone was looking for Wang Da Steward, she hurriedly sent her mother-in-law to bring her two in.

Wang Qiao accompanied the Zhao family to entertain the guests with a blank expression, and listened to the Zhang family tell the Zhao family to let Wang Qiao go to see the palace housekeeper on the tenth day of the first month.

The Zhang family glimpsed Wang Qiao's expression, and he could probably guess that Wang Qiao was not very willing to take on this errand. Thinking that her man had told her to inquire about Wang Qiao's attitude towards this errand, she looked at Xiuqin again, and if she had the opportunity, she could ask this cowardly village girl.

Zhang pretended not to see Wang Qiao's face, and was still close to the Zhao family. When parting, Zhao generously wrapped ten taels of silver for Zhang's family and thanked her a thousand times.

Zhao said to Xiuqin: "Xiuqin, you send Mrs. Zhang, remember to send Mrs. Zhang out of the door." ”

Zhang Lian said politely and walked out with Xiuqin.

Walking all the way out, Zhang's non-stop Kua Xiuqin is quiet and sensible, and she is a good girl.

Walking to the carriage outside the courtyard, Zhang glanced at the courtyard of the Qi family out of the corner of his eye, and saw that no one was nearby, so he asked very sincerely: "Miss Xiuqin, at first glance, you are a sincere girl, you give me a real truth, is your cousin reluctant to take this errand?" ”

Xiuqin was taken aback, and hurriedly said, "No, my aunt and cousin are worried that there is nothing suitable to do." "It's hard to find a job with a good income in the capital, but I can't go without it.

Zhang said angrily: "You kid, you can't trust your aunt, right?" Don't worry, my aunt is afraid that this thing can't be done, you give the truth, and the aunt has a precaution in her heart, so she can find a way to do this thing. If this is done, my family can settle down in front of the palace steward, and it is likely that there will be a real reward. ”

Speaking from the heart, Xiuqin is also afraid that this matter will not be successful, if her cousin talks nonsense and stirs up trouble when he sees the palace steward, this matter is really hanging.

Xiuqin hesitated for a moment, then looked at no one around, and briefly told Zhang about the conflict between Wang Qiao and Zhao that night, "...... My cousin listens to my aunt very much, and with my aunt pressing, my cousin will definitely be on an errand. ”

Zhang didn't know why the palace steward wanted to know Wang Qiao's attitude, but if he could ask, it would be a mistake. She smiled and patted Xiuqin's hand, "Okay, I know, when the time comes, let my family mention Mrs. Zhao to your cousin a few more times, and your cousin will not dare to talk nonsense."
