Chapter Eighty-Five: Yao's Thoughts
Second Master Qi looked at Li's expression, although she didn't open her mouth to judge anything, her subtle expression still showed a bit of resistance.
The Li family has been suppressed by Mrs. Qi when she was in the Hou Mansion all these years, but at that time, it was still justified, Mrs. Qi was the wife in charge, and the second room would be divided sooner or later, so she had no intention of doing these indifferent disputes.
Therefore, the relationship between the Li family and Mrs. Qi is quite flat because of Li's initiative to retreat, but Mrs. Qi has always been above the top, looking down on Li's silence, let alone Yao's blind gentle concession, even her husband was surrounded by the concubine, every time they met, although Mrs. Qi didn't say anything, but no one was stupid.
Occasionally, her sneering gaze and disdainful attitude can be seen, and now the Li family is busy with their own affairs in this peaceful city, and they are also cooperating with each other with the Yao family, but when Mrs. Qi comes, it is inevitable that she will still be criticized.
Second Master Qi hugged Li with some pity, and whispered to her to comfort, "Don't worry, I'll go talk to my father, but it's best to talk to my third brother and sister about this matter and see what kind of attitude she has over there."
After listening to Second Master Qi's words, Li said with a sigh: "Don't make your father too embarrassed, the eldest and third master are both his children, how can he not remember? It's just that the sister-in-law's side had better figure it out first, don't accuse us of opening a pastry shop, and don't want to get a piece of the pie.
Now that I am no longer in the Mansion of the Marquis of Mingyuan, I naturally don't have to be under her control, and she doesn't want to use the identity of the lady in charge to suppress us, this is my attitude, if my father wants to send a letter to Nanding Town, he will leave my words.
If you are embarrassed to say anything, I will say it myself, sister-in-law, she can come, but you have to let her know that she has to change her attitude after coming, everyone has their own things to do, and now I can't bear to let her."
Listening to Li's somewhat angry words, Second Master Qi patted her shoulder with a smile, and said in a very gentle tone:
"Okay, I remember your words, you don't have to come out of this matter, I will personally write it in the letter, you are busy making pastries during the day, I look really distressed, in fact, you hire a few guys the same, you don't have to work so hard."
Qi Erye said while gently pressing Li's shoulder, this is the usual behavior of the two of them when they were in the Hou Mansion, feeling the strength of Qi Erye's hand, a light smile appeared on Li's face, and his voice slowed down and said:
"Okay, I know what you mean, you don't have to worry too much about the other three brothers and sisters, they were called at the beginning similar to splitting and leaving, and before I was worried about whether the third brother and sister would be able to call the shots after the separation, after all, she was too weak before, and even the concubine of the third room could mock her.
Even occasionally the sister-in-law ran over to take care of the family affairs of the third room, so that the maids in the third room only recognized her as the eldest lady in charge of the house, but forgot who the person in charge of the first room was, but these days the third brother and sister stood up, she didn't seem to be very concerned about the third brother, only thinking about Zhen Zhen wholeheartedly, and the current third brother and sister are also full of fighting energy.
You don't have to worry too much, I guess she still has to listen to Zhen Zhen's opinion, but Zhen Zhen is a young person, but she has always been a bit of an opinion, and I don't think she is very dependent on the third brother."
Listening to Li's comments on Qi Zhenzhen, Second Master Qi also nodded with some sympathy and said, "Yes, Zhen Zhen is indeed smart, and she is quite independent, sometimes when I look at her, I think that maybe the Qi family will rely on her in the future, my father has always attached great importance to Zhen Zhen, let alone others......
At this time, Qi Zhenzhen, who was discussed by Li and Qi Erye, was leaning on Yao's side, Yao's was busy opening a pastry shop during the day, Qi Zhenzhen would occasionally go to Jingwang's Mansion with Concubine Rou to meet Concubine Shu during the day, but more often she stayed in the study to read and practice calligraphy by herself.
Yao's heart is always a little reluctant to Qi Zhenzhen, but she also knows that Zhenzhen will not rely on her all the time, and Zhenzhen has always been assertive, and she knows very well what she wants
Easy people are also clouds. Chinese Net
Yao leaned against the window, and combed Qi Zhenzhen's hair with a comb very pityingly, this is an action she has always liked, when Qi Zhenzhen was in exile, Qi Zhenzhen's hair was a little yellow when she was exiled, but she had been carefully raised these days, so her hair was already black.
Yao Shi said happily to Qi Zhenzhen: "These days have been carefully raised, your hair is finally the same as before, waiting for you and after the hairpin mother will customize a hairpin for you, according to the style you like, at that time Zhen Zhen you are a big girl, mother dress you up well, Zhen Zhen said okay?"
Listening to Yao's words, Qi Zhenzhen also responded with a smile: "Zhen Zhen is very happy these days, Zhen Zhen hopes that her mother can be happy, as for the hairpin next to her or something, Zhen Zhen doesn't value it, Zhen Zhen only hopes that your mother can do what you like, and you don't have to be bound by other constraints."
This sentence was inspired by Qi Zhenzhen, these days she has watched the behavior of the Qi family and others in Pingcheng, and some of the changes that followed, some of these things made Qi Zhenzhen feel very much, and at the same time, she also thought a lot.
At the beginning, Qi Zhenzhen saw that Qi Sanye was pampered by the concubine, but the Yao family just blindly tolerated it, and even occasionally humiliated herself by the concubine in person, and Qi Zhenzhen had to protect her.
At first, Qi Zhenzhen was a little strange for Yao's weakness, but later she found out that Yao's previous weakness was all to protect Qi Zhenzhen, she would rather lower her posture a little, and also wanted Qi Zhenzhen to have more protection.
And these days, Qi Zhenzhen found that Yao's was not like this, she was originally a lively and cheerful person, but she had been trapped in the inner house for many years, and after the intrigues and calculations in the back house, she lost her previous cheerfulness and liveliness, and became silent and introverted.
But after this Pingcheng, Yao is busy with her favorite business every day, and she has become lively and cheerful again, she has been smiling more and more these days, Qi Zhenzhen found that her eyes are shining, and her appearance is more outstanding than before.
If the Yao family was as weak as silk grass before, then now she can stand alone in the wind, becoming a unique landscape.
Feeling Qi Zhenzhen's dependence on her, Yao smiled and touched Qi Zhenzhen's hair bun, and said softly: "Now just wait for Zhenzhen to grow up, I will choose a good husband for you, and then marry you, and I will be very happy to see that you are harmonious with each other."
Yao secretly said her thoughts, but unexpectedly, Qi Zhenzhen in her arms suddenly replied: "I hope mother, you don't have to worry about Zhenzhen all the time, Zhenzhen wants you to do the things you like, imagine what you like?" These days have been busy, mother, what is your biggest concern in your heart? What do you think you have seen and felt over the past few days, and what do you think of?
Vera hopes that your mother will have something that you are independent of and that you love, and that you don't have to think about other people and plan for other people."
Yao had already listened to a lot of Qi Zhenzhen's more novel words, and Yao had become quite accustomed to this these days, and even she felt that what Qi Zhenzhen said was quite reasonable, and a few sentences would be thought-provoking.
So at this moment, after listening to Qi Zhenzhen's words, Yao couldn't help but follow Qi Zhenzhen's words and think, what is the thing she likes? She only feels that all her focus is on Qi Zhenzhen, and she hopes that Qi Zhenzhen can grow up and become a talent, and she can find a lover, and she doesn't have to get along with each other as coldly as her.
As for her own words, Yao thought about it, when she was still a girl, she was still the eldest daughter of Dingguo Gong at that time, she was from a very noble background, she had seen the scenery of the Gobi Desert since she was a child, and she liked to ride a horse and gallop in the vast grassland.
Later, she lived in Beijing, and there was no Dingguo Mansion to rely on, and when she married Qi Sanye, she also thought about the days when the husband and wife were harmonious and stayed with each other, but Qi Sanye spoiled his concubine and killed his wife, and she had no outstanding family to rely on, so she could only retreat silently.
Later, after having Qi Zhenzhen, she was even more reluctant to be pointed at by Qi Zhenzhen because of her parents' relationship, so she was even more hidden
endured a little, never quarreled with others in the Mingyuan Marquis Mansion, and stayed quietly in the backyard.
Since those days, she seems to have gradually gotten used to those days, but since coming to this Pingcheng, avoiding Qi Sanye and those Yingying Yanyan by her side, and making talented cakes with the Li family, the Yao family only felt that she seemed to be much happier, and she had also seen many scenery that she had never seen before.
She no longer has to be bound by the so-called rules, she doesn't have to be avoided by the ridicule of the concubines, and she doesn't have to be embarrassed by the occasional ridicule of Mrs. Qi.
Yao has seen a lot of women doing business outside, and most of them sit and do business casually, not bothered by other people's words, and only do what they like.
That's something she hadn't seen before, unlike the secret calculations and all kinds of careful thinking when she was in the house, Yao likes to do some things she likes to do like this freely.
Now she can also calmly stand outside the Caizi cake shop, talk to others about the taste of each Caizi cake, and make some improvements according to their requirements.
