Glory in Troubled Times: The Empress' Growth Path

Chapter 6
Sitting on the donkey cart, Zhao Tingan was about to drive away, when he suddenly realized how did Hua Qiong know that the mother-in-law's surname was Wang?
This little girl, but it doesn't matter, as long as she is happy, it doesn't matter.

The winter wind was howling, and the snow outside the window was getting bigger and bigger. Hua Qiong and Granny Wang were drinking rice cereal comfortably in the firewood room. Granny Wang felt comfortable drinking it, and the warmth flowed through her body. A voice came out of her mouth.

There are several keys hanging from her waist.

Hua Qiong thought about it, don't rush to take it, there are too many people in the daytime, and it is not good to make Granny Wang tired, you have to wait until night before you can act.

The courtyard began to be noisy, Hua Qiong built some firewood as a stepping stone, and looked towards the window outside the woodshed.

The Zhao family was cleaning up after dinner. A little girl who looked like a servant was helping to carry the plates. She looked about her age. She secretly glanced around and found that she hadn't noticed her. The little girl picked up the leftover plates, I licked several mouthfuls.When she passed by other people, the little girl pretended nothing happened, and hurried to the well to fetch water to wash the dishes.

"Wangya, come here, this is your meal, hurry up and eat it."

Hua Qiong looked over and saw that a slightly older girl broke a steamed bun into two halves, picked up half of it and ate it, and Wang Ya picked up the remaining half aggrieved.

"What are you looking at! If you don't want to eat it, bring it here!"

Wang Ya lowered her head, her eyes were red, she didn't say anything, she ran and ate the remaining half of the steamed bun, and went to the well to continue biting the steamed bun to fetch water and wash the dishes.

"Bah! If the master didn't see that you were starving to death, who would care about you! Don't think that you can pass me if you are pitiful to the master! Do you hear me!"

Wang Ya quickly stood up, and said submissively, "Sister Wang Ting, I heard you."

Wanger, Wangya, Wangting, the Zhao family is quite fancy about the prosperity of the family.

However, Mr. Zhao, who is raising Zhao Tingan, the orphan of the family, and helping Granny Wang, and taking in Wang Ya, does not sound like a hard-hearted person. How could his two sons develop such virtues.

After Wang Ting ate half a steamed bun, she turned and went into the room on the left, and began to clean, while Wang Ya walked towards the kitchen with the cleaned house in her arms.

Hua Qiong saw the timing, took a sweet potato, rushed out of the firewood house, put the sweet potato next to Wang Ya's dishwashing basin, and then rushed back to the firewood house, lying on the window to observe with.

Wang Ya just came out of the kitchen and saw someone entering the firewood room. She thought it was because she was dazzled, so she shook her head and didn't care. As if being frozen, he stretched out his hand and kicked the sweet potato into his clothes, looking around vigilantly.

A shadow passed over the window of the firewood room, could it be Grandma Wang?

Wang Ting in the room on the left was still sweeping, so she didn't notice it.

Hua Qiong hid by the wall of the woodshed, patting her chest, but luckily, she was almost discovered.

As soon as she turned around, she found that Wang Ya was poking her head and looking around inside the woodshed.

Pfft, this little girl!Hua Qiong almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

As long as Wangya turns her head, she can see herself!

But her eyes were firmly attracted by the sweet potatoes on the ground, and she saw Grandma Wang, who was snoring in the firewood, crept into the firewood room, touched a sweet potato, and when she was about to withdraw, she looked at Hua Qiong. Relatively, awkward in place.

"I..."

Before Hua Qiong could speak, Wang Ya ran away, ignoring the sweet potatoes that fell on the ground.

Oops!What if Wang Ya tipped someone off!
I can't chase him out now, Wang Ting will come out of the house at any time.

Seeing that there seemed to be brakes on Wang Ya's feet, she suddenly stood there and looked back, and saw Hua Qiong standing by the door, holding a sweet potato and looking at her with a smile, even shaking.

"Come and get it, it's delicious."

Wang Ya looked at Hua Qiong, wondering what she was thinking, took two steps back, and ran away again.

Hua Qiong scratched her head, what to do.

"Wang Ya! What are you running around in the yard?!"

Wang Ting came out of the house holding the sweeping tools.

"Are you doing something in the woodshed?"

Hua Qiong suddenly became nervous, hid in the woodshed and leaned against the wall.

Wang Ting stared at Wang Ya, and saw that this girl was the same as before, with her head down, making people feel unlucky when she looked at her.

"No, Sister Wang Ting, the wind blew open the door of the firewood room, and Grandma Wang is inside, I'm afraid I'll freeze her."

Wang Ting looked into the firewood room, and as expected, she saw Grandma Wang who was snoring.

"You old and young, you can't do your job, you can't bear hardships, you're just wasting food, and it's better to freeze you all to death!"

Wang Ting kept scolding Wang Ya, but Wang Ya just lowered her head, grabbed the corner of her clothes with both hands, and remained silent as before.

"Dead girl, dead woman, it's really bad luck."

At the same time, Hua Qiong has a very bad impression of Wang Ting. People only reveal their true colors when they face their weak attitude.

Wang Ting twisted her waist and walked away, while Wang Ya ran over, closed the door of the woodshed and continued to wash the dishes, but she had no intention of coming back to the woodshed.

Hua Qiong also heaved a sigh of relief, thanking Wangya very much for not revealing herself, and at the same time turned around and picked up a thick firewood against the back of the door.

It seems that in my plan, it is necessary to arrange Wang Ting into it, punishing small punishments and admonishing large ones.

Granny Wang had a good night's sleep, and took Hua Qiong out to fish in the nearby river in the afternoon. Hua Qiong learned a lot of fishing skills, and accidentally caught a big fat fish. The two had a delicious meal. Until the evening, I quietly returned to the firewood house of the Zhao family.

After the Zhao family finished their dinner, while Wangya was washing the dishes, Hua Qiong put a sweet potato next to the sink for her. Wangya changed from her usual boring gourd and smiled at Hua Qiong at the window of the firewood room. .

This little girl is very cute when she smiles.

Hua Qiong continued to observe, and saw two boys from the Zhao family enter the house on the right, and Wang Ting followed a woman with a flattering smile on her face.

The woman's triangular eyes moved around like a mouse, her face was greasy from eating, she kept groping for the jade bead necklace around her neck with both hands, and leisurely returned to the room on the left, Wang Ting also followed in.

Presumably this is Mrs. Zhao.

It always gets dark early in winter, and not long after, the lights in Mrs. Zhao's room were turned off.The lights of the second son of the Zhao family on the right are still on, and Grandma Wang is also falling asleep at this moment.

Hua Qiong waited for a while, borrowing the memory of the night and the day, quietly groped to the house of the second son of the Zhao family, poked a small hole in the window with his hand, and looked inside.

I saw one of them put their legs on the stool, and the other leaned on the back of the chair. The book in their hands was crooked and dangling in front of them, as if they couldn't hold it and were about to fall off at any time.

"Ball" threw the book directly on the table, and said angrily, "This Wang'er has caused me to be punished so much, and my mother wants me to memorize this article by heart!"

"As long as you talk a lot, you just have to memorize it, and I have to copy the article ten times as a punishment. Fortunately, I have finished copying it today, otherwise I will not be able to explain to my husband."

"You still know how to copy books? Don't ask Wang Er to write it for you."

"That's what he should do."

"Cut, don't let Mr. recognize it, or you will look good."

"You don't tell, I don't tell, who knows he copied it."

"I'm so sleepy, I don't want to read it, I pack up my things, and I'm going to my husband's place tomorrow."

"Ball" got up from the chair and took two packages and put them on the table.

"Check all your things, don't forget to bring something, Mr. and punish me."

"It's all inside, I'm so annoying, go to sleep."

"The copied book is also there?"

"Yes, stop talking, I'm going to bed."
