"Enter the family tree?"
Mrs. Qi responded with a smile: "Qing Niang, are you happy?"
Wen Yiqing picked up the tea cup, but her hand shook a little, and the cup clinked. She looked at Mrs. Qi, quickly lowered her head and took a sip.
Somewhat gaffe.
Mrs. Qi only thought she was happy.
Who wouldn’t be happy to be the rich daughter of Uncle Zhongyong’s house?
The expression on her face became softer, "My mother still left the courtyard where you lived before, and asked the servants to clean it up every day. You will still live there when you come back. By the way, if you want to be included in the family tree, this name must be If we change it back, the girl from our Zhongyong residence should be named Qi."
Wen Yiqing looked cold.
"What about Qi Wenyue?" she asked: "If I want to enter the family tree, wouldn't her identity also have to be changed? She is the wife of the Xuanping Marquis Mansion, with a golden branch and beautiful leaves, but you are willing to call her a merchant's daughter?"
"You mean Yue'er?" Mrs. Qi had already thought about it and said with a smile: "Mom and your father have discussed it. Both of you are girls from the uncle's house. No one needs to go back. If outsiders ask, just It was said that the twins were born that year, and when the time comes, I will go to the eminent monk of Jinyun Temple for approval, saying that you are in poor health and have been raised outside, and you have just returned to Beijing in recent years."
Her expression became colder: "Since you have thought of a countermeasure, why didn't I do this when I first came to Beijing?"
"At that time, my parents didn't think of a way."
Besides, the matter of twins is full of loopholes and cannot be explained to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion. Mrs. Qi's calculations have already come full circle. There had been a rift between the two of them before, so they coaxed her back first, and after Wen Yiqing's heart moved towards the uncle's house, they would then enter the family tree. Whether it was her biological daughter or the daughter of a distant relative, it was just a matter of a few words.
Wen Yiqing said coldly: "Did you not think of a way? Or did you never think about it at all?"
Mrs. Qi's face changed slightly.
She sat up straight: "Qing Niang, what do you mean?"
Wen Yiqing smiled sarcastically.
"Do you want to recognize me, or do you want to recognize the Queen Mother?"
She pushed the things in front of her away, picked up the tea cup and took a sip. The weather was hot, but the herbal tea could not calm her heart. "How could I not know what your Uncle Zhongyong's plan is? It's just to see me follow the Queen Mother." I came to the palace to escape the summer heat, and when I saw that I was making a profit, I remembered that I, the daughter of a merchant, had not shown mercy. If the Queen Mother hadn’t taken pity on me, how could you be sitting here today and talking to me about these things?"
"Qing Niang?!" Madam Qi couldn't maintain the dignity on her face, "How can you say that? Doesn't it mean that Mom wants to harm you because she wants you back?"
Wen Yiqing sneered: "My third brother, who has been serving you for so many years, was kicked out of your house as soon as you said he was kicked out of the house. How dare I go? I'm afraid that if I hadn't just entered the door, I would have been torn apart by you, and you would have knocked the bones and sucked out the marrow." , now I have shown my face in front of the Queen Mother, but what if it wasn’t me? Even if it was a dog, you would all rush to recognize it as your own."
"Wen Yiqing!"
Mrs. Qi stood up suddenly, her whole body shaking with anger. Her fingertips coated with Danko trembled in the air: "How dare you say such a thing?!"
But Wen Yiqing just glanced at it lightly and quickly looked away.
It's just bullying others, who wouldn't?
"Your uncle's house is famous and noble, but my daughter is very fond of the Queen Mother, and she calls her brother and sister to His Highness the Crown Prince. What kind of girl is there..." She chuckled: "I told you a long time ago, I don't care about her. "
"you……"
She raised her head and looked into Mrs. Qi's eyes without fear: "And you, if you dare to touch the good and evil again, and if you use any slanderous means, I will go to the Queen Mother tomorrow to complain. You are so shameless, how dare you Do you want the Queen Mother to know these things?"
Mrs. Qi looked at her in disbelief: "How dare you talk to me like this?!"
Wen Yiqing picked up the tea cup and drank it slowly.
Mrs. Qi added: "It doesn't matter if your daughter shows her face in front of the Queen Mother. The uncle's house has contributed to the founding of the country. How can the Queen Mother condone you?"
Wen Yiqing raised the corners of his lips without any gentle smile, "You might as well give it a try."
Mrs. Qi looked at her in surprise.
Wen Yiqing went to the palace with the Queen Mother to escape the summer heat. He stayed there for several days. During these days, he ate and lived with the Queen Mother, and he didn't know how much he won her favor.
Even though the uncle's house has made great contributions to the founding of the country, the people on the dragon throne have changed for many generations. Today, the emperor prefers to promote new ministers, and the Qi family has no talented people. Although it is prominent, it is extremely inconspicuous.
The Emperor is the most filial person. If the Empress Dowager really has such a good relationship with the Wen family mother and daughter, she would make a few presumptions before the Emperor... How dare she test this?
Mrs. Qi's mind was spinning so many times that she forgot to answer the question for a moment.
Then I heard Wen Yiqing say coldly: "If you come again in the future, I will bring this matter to the Queen Mother. You must think clearly about how you will explain to the Xuanping Marquis Mansion."
Mrs. Qi's face fell silent.
She opened her mouth to say something, but when her eyes touched the cold expression of the person in front of her, she was speechless for a moment.
It is not a secret that the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of Xuanping Hou Mansion are not getting along. Wen Yiqing usually communicates with his wife and young ladies, and many of her contacts are with dignitaries. Others do not know her identity, so regular customers tell her these things as jokes.
Uncle Zhongyong loves to cling to powerful people. It was because of the Marquis's concern that he refused to recognize his biological daughter. How could he be willing to lose this good family?
Compared with in-laws, a daughter who was exposed in front of the Queen Mother and was not well-raised was obviously not as important as the former.
Mrs. Qi clenched the handkerchief in her hand and looked at her with a sullen face in surprise for a long time. She could only grit her teeth and swallow all the words she said but did not say.
Finally, he glared hard at the person in front of him and said sternly to the maid: "Go back home!"
After the people left, Wen Yiqing sat quietly for a while.
She drank tea slowly. The street was the busiest time of the day, and the noise came in through several walls.
"He sent someone to keep an eye on me, right?" She suddenly said, "Don't tell him."
I don't know how much time passed before an almost inaudible response sounded.
Wen Yiqing picked up the manifest again and looked at it.
Looking at it, he suddenly chuckled.
…
dusk.
After Wen Yiqing finished handling the business at the shop, he returned home under the orange-red sunset.
As soon as she entered the door, she saw the little girl at home with tears in her eyes. The wet nurses and maids were surrounding her with all kinds of food, and even the stones were clumsily making faces to make her happy.
As I got closer, I saw that her palms were swollen and red. Wen Yiqing was surprised: "Master punished you?"
"mother!"
Shanshan immediately ran towards her. He originally wanted to hug her, but the pain in his hands was so hot that he stopped again and could only watch anxiously.
Wen Yiqing bent down and picked her up.
"What's wrong?"
Shanshan sniffed and said pitifully, "I've done my homework."
But Master Liu is really strict.
Once you take the quiz, you will know if you have continued to study during the holidays. Being a selfless person who loves to play, he has long forgotten his studies. He took the quiz and did not know anything about it. Liu Fuzi kept the learning progress of each student in his mind, and unceremoniously pulled out the bamboo sticks for those students who were stubborn and unmotivated.
Shanshan buried his face in his mother's neck, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"Brother Shitou was not even punished." She said dullly, "Master even praised him."
"You go out to play every day, but Shitou stays at home and studies every day. Master, of course you have to praise him." Wen Yiqing pinched her nose: "Do you know you are wrong? Will you still be playful in the future?"
Shanshan responded lazily.
Her hand hurt, and the food was fed by her wet nurse. After dinner, she went into the study and did her homework obediently, for fear that she would be hurt by her master again tomorrow.
It's just that she has a restless temper.
As soon as she finished writing half a page, she reached out to the snacks placed next to her.
After a while, the remains of the snacks covered the half-dried ink characters.
Shanshan glanced at his mother. Wen Yiqing was sitting at the table next to her, settling accounts. He didn't blame her. Seeing that she had finished her snacks, he asked his servant to bring another plate.
Shanshan raised his head in surprise: "Mom?!"
"What?"
"Did anything good happen to you today?"
Wen Yiqing was stunned.
Take the heart happily and happily. Normally she only has a small plate at night and nothing is left after eating. It's rare for her mother to be so generous.
Wen Yiqing thought for a while and said, "Count it as my thank you gift."
"Thank you?" Shanshan said vaguely, "Did I help you?"
"Um."
Wen Yiqing smiled and said: "I use you to scare people, and the bad guys will be scared away by you and will not dare to come back again."
"I?"
Is she that powerful?
Shanshan shook her head, and the little knot on her head also swayed. She put the matter behind her mind without much care, and ate snacks in her mouth. It feels so beautiful in my heart.
Oh, it would be better if my mother could borrow it a few more times!
