lady

Chapter 682
Zhao's sad and weak appearance not only greatly overturned Wang Qiao's previous understanding of his mother, but also made him helpless.But he didn't want to give in, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Xiuqin looked at Mrs. Zhao like this, and persuaded Wang Qiao in a low voice: "Cousin, I don't know if this matter will be successful. Cousin should do it first. Aunt has been unhappy in Japan these few days. Don't know if it will be possible because of this." Things, first make my aunt angry."

Mrs. Zhao cried: "He has already bought his heart by his little favors, so he doesn't care about my life."

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

When Zhao heard this, she became even more angry.She asked her several times if she had seen her son, but Qi Younian didn't take it seriously, but now that her son came back in good condition, he bought it instead.Her muddled son is being played around like this.

Zhao said angrily: "What could be the matter? Aqiao came back well, and he came to ask, what did he do so early? If there was something to do, and no one cared about it for such a long time, he would have died a long time ago!"

Xiuqin poohed a few times, "Auntie is really angry, you can't talk like that when you're on Chinese New Year's Eve."

Mrs. Zhao also regretted it after she finished speaking. It is the most taboo to say inauspicious words during the Chinese New Year, and it is also related to her son.It's all because of that Qi Younian, who played tricks with his family all day long and forced her son to have a separation with her.

Xiaocui stood outside in a daze, she was only a child of twelve or thirteen years old, she didn't know how to answer the Qi family, she couldn't tell the old lady's words to the Qi family boy, could she?

After waiting for a long time, there was no reliable person to tell her the truth again, so I had to ask again: "Old lady, how does the slave give an answer?"

Mrs. Zhao said angrily: "Tell them, we are living a good life." Thinking that her son was deceived by others not to treat him as a mother, Mrs. Zhao felt sad again, took the handkerchief from Xiuqin's hand, and pressed it. on the face.

…………

The next day, Wang Qiao approached Qi Younian and said that he wanted to say a few words 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.So, when Wang Qiao had something to say to him, he led Wang Qiao to his room, let the kitchen warm the wine, and prepared peanuts and bacon slices to go with the wine.

Qi Younian had just sat cross-legged on the kang, and when he asked Wang Qiao to sit, he saw Wang Qiao lift up the hem of his robe and kneel on the ground.

Startled Qi Younian, he hurriedly pulled on his shoes, got off the ground and helped Wang Qiao up, "What are you doing, talk about it if you have something to say. Is there anything you can't say about our relationship? Come, come, drink too Alright, let's talk."

Qi Younian dragged Wang Qiao to the kang with help and drag, and the father and father sat down again.

Qi Younian picked up the jug, and Wang Qiao quickly took it over, "I'm here, how can I ask my uncle to pour the wine?"

Wang Qiao drank the small cup of wine in front of him, and then said eagerly: "Yesterday, my mother and I went to Dajue Temple to offer incense...it happened to happen...there was a steward from the palace who asked for a steward..."

Wang Qiao couldn't speak anymore.When it was Chinese New Year, the steward of the palace went to Dajue Temple to recruit stewards. He himself felt that no one would believe such words.

Helpless, he drank another glass of wine, but he couldn't open his mouth again.

Qi Younian looked at Wang Qiao hesitating, saying half of what he said, and not half of what he said, so he didn't know that Wang Qiao was embarrassing.It was probably caused by the Zhao family again, and it was not easy for Wang Qiao to blame the whole thing on his mother, that's why he was so embarrassed.

Qi Younian filled Wang Qiao with wine, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Okay, I know you're in trouble. Even if you go back to Hezhou, if you don't do construction work yourself, being in charge of others is a good job." It’s okay, it’s the same wherever you go. Don’t think so much, no matter where you go, just do it well for others, and don’t embarrass your father and our old brother.”

After 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 again.Pulled back by Qi Younian, "Okay, let's have a good drink. It's good if you stay in the capital. In the future, we can see each other often and drink from time to time."

The drinking didn't end until the end of the day, Wang Qiao had something on his mind, and he was so drunk that the two boys fought to help him back to the room.

When he woke up, it was already midnight when he opened his eyes.Under a dim oil lamp, Mrs. Zhao was leaning on a chair beside the kang, watching over him half asleep and half awake.

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

As expected, Li Erming's daughter-in-law, Mrs. Zhang, did not talk empty words. Half an hour before the seventh day of the lunar new year, Mrs. Zhang brought her mother-in-law to Qi's house in a carriage.

Qi Younian knew that Mrs. Zhao already had an affair with him, so she paid extra attention to the affairs of the Wang family. She had already told Nanny Liu that if anyone was looking for Wang Qiao and Mrs. Zhao, don't ask too many questions, just take them in.

Grandma Liu got the order, and when she heard that someone was looking for Mr. Wang, she hurriedly sent her mother-in-law to lead them in.

Wang Qiao accompanied Mrs. Zhao to entertain the guests with a blank expression, and listened to Mrs. Zhang telling Mrs. Zhao that Wang Qiao should go see the housekeeper of the palace on the tenth day.

Seeing Wang Qiao's uneasy expression, Mrs. Zhang could probably guess that Wang Qiao was not very willing to accept this job.Thinking of her man asking her to inquire about Wang Qiao's attitude towards this errand, she looked at Xiuqin again, and if she had a chance, she would ask this cowardly village girl.

Mrs. Zhang pretended not to see Wang Qiao's face, and still chatted with Mrs. Zhao intimately.When parting, Mrs. Zhao generously wrapped ten taels of silver for Mrs. Zhang, and thanked her a thousand times.

Mrs. Zhao said to Xiuqin: "Xiuqin, send Mrs. Zhang off, remember to send Mrs. Zhang out of the gate."

Mrs. Zhang said she was polite, and walked out with Xiuqin.

All the way out, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but praise Xiuqin as a quiet and sensible girl, she is a good girl.

Walking to the carriage outside the yard, Mrs. Zhang glanced at the Qi family's yard out of the corner of her eye, and seeing no one nearby, she asked very sincerely: "Miss Xiuqin, you are a sincere girl at first glance, give me a Actually, is your cousin not willing to take on this job?"

Xiuqin was startled, and quickly said: "No, my aunt and cousin are worrying about not having a suitable job to do." After finally finding a job with a good salary in the capital, it was inevitable.

Mrs. Zhang said angrily: "You child, you can't trust your aunt, right? Don't worry, my aunt is also afraid that this matter can't be done. Tell me the truth, and my aunt has a precaution in mind, so I can find a way to get rid of this matter." Do it right. If this matter is done, if my family can settle well with the steward of the palace, it is very likely that there will be a reward."

To be honest, Xiuqin was also afraid that this matter would not work out, if her cousin talked nonsense and disrupted the situation when he saw the prince's mansion, this matter would really be suspended.

Xiuqin hesitated for a moment, then looked around to see if there was 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. Will handle the errand."

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