Nong Zhaohua

Chapter 5

After hearing Yan Zhaohua's words, Yan Zhaoning knew that Yan Zhaohua was not willing to part with the thing she embroidered, a little dissatisfied, and said:

"Why didn't you embroider it well? My sister showed it to me when she finished her embroidery last time. Aren't you afraid that I will steal it?" Yan Zhaoning is ten years old this year, but he often goes out with Mrs. Xie, so he learned that kind of beating around the bush at a young age.

Yan Zhaohua only hated himself for being blind back then, not realizing her true character, and not going around in circles with her, and said directly:
"There is still no signature added. It will not be considered complete until all signatures are added."

When Yan Zhaoning heard this, he couldn't help but said, "Sister, do you want to add your signature?"

I thought to myself: If she signed it, how could she take it and pretend it was embroidered by herself?Yan Zhaoning recalled what his mother said, that Mrs. Dingguo's wife, Mrs. Liu, is a person who pays attention to her heart and not to gold and silver. It made her feel vulgar, which maybe even Yan Zhaohua didn't know about. After all, the former Mrs. Hou passed away early, and Yan Zhaohua was raised by her mother since she was a child, and naturally her mother would not take the initiative to tell her these important things.However, Yan Zhaoning knew these things very well in his heart, and originally planned to embroider something by himself, but he didn't expect to see Yan Zhaohua embroidering such a large format last time, the handkerchief she embroidered was too petty , so I gave up at that time, and while giving up, I also made up my mind to ask for the few things that Yan Zhaohua embroidered, and then just send Yan Zhaohua with some empty and rich things. .

But now, it was obvious that Yan Zhaohua wanted to mess up all her plans.

"Such an elegant thing, adding a name, won't it... be too vulgar?" Yan Zhaoning could only say this, and then glanced at Yan Shuyan who was eating at the side, and kicked Yan Shu in the belly of the table With Yan's kick, Yan Shuyan immediately understood her eyes, put down the pastry and nodded, and echoed, "Yes, yes."

As for 'yes', Yan Shuyan doesn't understand. After all, he is only nine years old, and he grew up in a study in the front yard. Yan Zhaoning's little calculations learned from women, how can he be now? I can understand, but I just go along with it.

"It doesn't matter. I reserved a place for my signature when I embroidered it. It's just a small seal, and it won't hinder the viewing." Yan Zhaohua is no longer the old Amon, and it is more than enough to deal with a little girl.

Anyway, Yan Zhaoning said [-] words, and Yan Zhaohua always had this attitude, and he almost became angry when he talked, Yan Zhaoning didn't want to stay around anymore, so he called Yan Shuyan directly, and left the pavilion with a gloomy face.

Qingzhu came forward to support Yan Zhaohua, and said worriedly:

"Why does the eldest miss compete with the second miss, and now the second miss should go back and complain to the wife."

Yan Zhaohua turned his head to look at Qingzhu, and suddenly asked, "Qingzhu, what do you think of my wife's treatment of me?"

Qingzhu didn't understand Yan Zhaohua's meaning, thought that what he had said offended her, so she hurriedly knelt down and pleaded guilty: "Miss, I spared this servant, and this servant is talking nonsense, there is absolutely no intention to provoke her."

Yan Zhaohua helped Qingzhu up, bent down to pat the dust on Qingzhu's knees, and said, "I don't blame you, I just want to hear you tell the truth. After all, the three of us grew up together. I have no one around me, so I can only ask you."

These words almost touched Qing Zhu's heart, and the "three people" mentioned in the words even included Ran Xiang, only to hear Yan Zhaohua say again: "You don't have to be shy, just say it."

After Qingzhu bit her lip and hesitated for a while, she plucked up the courage and said to Yan Zhaohua: "This servant thinks...it's good for my wife to be nice to the eldest lady, but...the kindness is a bit superficial..."

Qing Zhu did not continue to speak, but Yan Zhaohua could fully understand that from the beginning to the end, she was the only one who was kept in the dark and couldn't see through. She used to despise Qing Zhu and Ran Xiang for being stupid , not as clever as Hong Qu, but who knew that she said that Zhaohua was the stupidest person in the world.

No matter how nice Mrs. Xie was to her, in the final analysis, it was only on the surface of life, giving her good food, clothing, and use, but she seldom taught her in terms of upbringing and behavior. She used to only feel grateful. Mrs. Xie could not have been nicer to her, and what her biological mother did was nothing more than that, but after growing up and gaining more experience, she realized that Mrs. Xie actually used the method of "praising and killing" that is commonly used by the heads of large households. It's nothing more than a trick, but Xie's motherly behavior in front of Lord Hou has deceived everyone. It can be said that the authorities are obsessed. Going further and further down the wrong road will eventually lead to irreparable doom.

After Qingzhu saw that she had finished speaking, Yan Zhaohua froze, and tentatively called out: "Miss?"

I was extremely anxious.But seeing Yan Zhaohua's absent-minded mouth suddenly evoked a smile of unknown meaning, Qingzhu trembled in his heart, feeling that since the eldest lady was ill, she seemed to have changed suddenly, with deep eyes from time to time, and revealing her eyes from time to time. Sneer, just like now.

Yan Zhaohua looked at Qingzhu in a blink of an eye, and saw that Qingzhu seemed to be frightened by him, so Yan Zhaohua smiled, took the newly fired hand stove from Qingzhu, and walked down the stone pavilion wrapped in a cloak.

After so many days of cultivation, she has also figured out what she should think about. She didn't want to be reborn, but God gave her this opportunity. Since the opportunity came, she would not miss it. The events are vivid in her eyes, who is good and who is bad, she has a mirror in her heart, and she will never be played by these treacherous villains in this life!

Back in the master bedroom of Qingqueju, Hongqu was checking the things in the room for Yan Zhaohua. When he saw the green bamboo, his eyes looked like he wanted to cut off the flesh of the green bamboo piece by piece, but on the surface he was smiling happily, helping Yan Zhaohua. After Yan Zhaohua entered the room, he reported the affairs in the room in detail. Yan Zhaohua listened to each other, and after drinking a dose of throat-strengthening medicine, he said to the chattering Hongqu:

"Go prepare two plates of snacks, order horseshoe cake and chestnut cake, and warm a can of brown sugar ginger tea with a small stove."

Hongqu didn't know why Yan Zhaohua was about to eat when she heard her talk, so he asked with a smile, "Miss, are you hungry?"

Yan Zhaohua said noncommittally: "When the chef is preparing, you go to the warehouse and take out the bowl set of gold-plated silk unicorn beasts that I brought back from my grandfather's house. After the ginger tea is ready, come back Use our own Eight Immortals lotus pots, use the new small copper stove for the stove, and bring a few auspicious bowls of Qilin beasts, and put them on jade trays with red brocade patterns."

Hong Qu was a little flustered. The eldest lady suddenly said so many things, each of which had its own background and particularity. Her subordinates are easy to serve, but what she doesn't know is that the so-called "easy to serve" is just that she doesn't want to bother herself or others. Hongqu is new here, so how can she tell the difference? Embarrassing her, she winked at Qingzhu, and Qingzhu stepped forward and said to Hongqu regardless of past suspicions:

"Sister Hongqu, let's go, let's prepare the object that the lady said."

Hongqu was a little unwilling to suffer from ignorance again, and wanted to say something more, but was stopped by Qingzhu, and said: "Sister Hongqu, hurry up, there are many processes to take out the things in the warehouse, and I have to go to Mama Li Match the cards."

After Qingzhu's words, Hongqu couldn't ask any more questions, so he followed Qingzhu out of the master bedroom.

Only then did Yan Zhaohua put down the things in his hands, and went to the place where Hongqu was staying to take a look. It was indeed the entry and exit ledger of Qingqueju, but it was only the tent of a single courtyard. Yan Zhaohua went to the inner room , took out a black box from the Duobao Pavilion hidden by the bed, opened the box, and revealed the gold and silver that was safely stored inside. Although it was worth one or two thousand taels, these things were Yan Zhaohua’s monthly allowance. There is no old lady in the Marquis of Changning, so there are not many rewards, and there are only rewards from the four seasons in the whole house. These are used and stored in previous years. The new ones should be in the box on the dressing table, but there are so many things. Speaking of it, the value is at most 2000 taels. When Xie Wei married into the Marquis of Changning, the dowry shop given by the Duke of Dingguo was full of red makeup. Even in the capital city more than 2000 or 20 years later, people still enjoy it. That's right, but after Xie Wei's death, all these things were sealed in the warehouse of the Marquis of Changning, and some shops that needed to be taken care of were all taken care of by Xie Wei's accompanying room back then. They are all counted into the treasury, and will not be transferred to Yan Zhaohua's account.Looking back on her last life, she was in a difficult situation, and in the end she had to help Yan Ruiqian who was also in a bad situation, and the things left by her mother back then disappeared in the end, and it was clear at a glance whose pockets it all went into. something happened.

Yan Zhaohua knew that even if Xie Lan wanted to swallow the dowry, he didn't have the ability for the time being. After all, the amount was huge, and Dingguo's mansion hadn't fallen yet. Xie Lan just had the evil intentions and didn't have the ability to put it in the warehouse. It doesn't matter, at least as long as Yan Zhaohua stays in the Marquis of Changning for a day, the ostensible owner of these things is still her.

After more than an hour, Hongqu and Qingzhu prepared everything according to Yan Zhaohua's instructions, including a jade tray, a brand-new small copper stove, an Eight Immortals pot, and a set of gilt silk filigree for unicorns. Bowls, such a set of things, even if they don’t contain anything, just placing them there is pleasing to the eye.

After everything was ready, Yan Zhaohua suddenly said again:

"Let's go, take your things and follow me to the main courtyard."

Hong Qu and Qing Zhu looked at each other, they didn't know who Yan Zhaohua said these words to, Hong Qu couldn't understand even more, if a month ago, Hong Qu still had confidence, what did the young miss say? I told her, but now, she is not sure. After all, the eldest lady has changed a lot after recovering from her illness, and she is even more alienated from her. Even if she goes for a walk in the yard, she brings all the green bamboos that she despised in the past.

Yan Zhaohua saw that the two of them were not moving, so he smiled, pointed to the things on the table, and said to Hong Qu: "I'm going to the wife's side, of course you followed, take the things carefully and follow me .”

When Hongqu heard Yan Zhaohua said to take him to the main courtyard, he stopped muttering in his heart, and immediately understood that the eldest lady was going to see his wife, and she was the one who was rewarded by the wife, so even the eldest lady had to give seventy to the wife. She has a lot of face, and dare not replace her easily. Thinking of this, Hong Qu felt much more at ease, and briskly took the prepared things, followed Yan Zhaohua, walked through the corridor of Qingqueju, and walked towards the main courtyard go.
