Chapter 189: Named Xiao Cavalry Captain
Three days later, there were more forbidden troops in the streets.
Wen Qingzhu sat in the study of the east courtyard.
Next to her sat Mother Ye, who was sitting with a needle and thread while chattering about the situation outside.
"There are a lot fewer people on the street these days, and the profits of shops everywhere have plummeted, I heard that the emperor had an accident in Fengguo Temple, but fortunately, Miss stayed in the courtyard with Mrs. Lei San......"
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu put down the book in his hand and looked out the window.
It's almost March, and the emperor's decree has not yet been issued.
It seems that King Shou still hasn't been caught.
In the corridor, Green Tao brought bird's nest soup.
After coming in, she put down the bird's nest soup and turned her head to look at Mother Ye: "Mother, the people from Zhongbo's side have sent the account book." ”
Mother Ye hurriedly put down the basket and instructed: "Don't let Miss go out!" ”
After saying that, Mother Ye hurried out.
waited until there was no one around, and Lu Tao quietly told Wen Qingzhu: "Miss, that cousin of the fourth lady hit the pillar, and now Fushoutang has become a pot of porridge." ”
The crisp voice of the yellow warbler came from the green bamboo branches outside, and Wen Qingzhu looked outside with emotion: "I really didn't expect that my eleventh sister would have so many candidates." ”
"Now I heard that Miss Hu refused to marry General Qin, and she almost died when she hanged herself." Green Tao said again.
In the corridor outside the house, Mother Ye came over with a few account books.
Wen Qingzhu hurriedly retracted his gaze: "You continue to stare and see what to do in the end." ”
"Yes." Green Tao took the tray and retreated.
After a while, Mother Ye came into the house.
She glanced sideways at the back of the green pottery, and asked Wen Qingzhu a little uncertainly: "That girl didn't say anything to the young lady, did she?" ”
"No, Mother Ye came and sat down, and I will read the account book with you." Wen Qingzhu's face was not red, and his heart was not beating.
Night.
In the bathroom of the East Courtyard.
Wen Qingzhu leaned against the tub, and Peony massaged her behind her.
In front of me is Jasmine whispering about the day's events.
"In the end, it was the lord who made the decision, saying that he would definitely let Miss Eleven marry, and the fourth lady turned her face on the spot and was escorted to the ancestral hall by the sea steward, and the fourth master is still kneeling outside the door of Fushoutang."
"Hey......" Wen Qingzhu sighed, slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of bright eyes.
In the matter of the emperor's assassination, the fact that a little Miss Hu was almost insulted is nothing at all.
It can only be said that Xiao Yang's scheming is still not enough to discern the true purpose of the fourth lady's mother and daughter.
"By the way, how is Brother Fu?"
Jasmine stepped forward and took out a piece of gold from her sleeve: "This is what Dongzi gave to the slave, saying that Fu Gongzi asked him to give it to Miss." ”
Wen Qingzhu fixed his eyes and saw that it was actually a golden order given by the emperor.
Seeing this order is like seeing the emperor himself.
This stuff is useful at critical moments.
"Did Dongzi say anything else?" Wen Qingzhu took it, feeling the familiar touch.
Fu Lie also had such a piece before.
It was also handed over to her for the first time.
"He said to ask the young lady not to go out these days." Jasmine added.
After bathing, when Wen Qingzhu was about to sleep, Lu Tao walked in with a strange face.
"Miss, Miss Eleven asks to see you."
The corners of Wen Qingzhu's mouth hooked: "You go and tell her, I am unwell these days, I have to recuperate, and I don't see anyone." ”
Green Tao breathed a sigh of relief and went out to recover his life.
Early the next morning, Wen Qingzhu had just woken up, and Lu Tao was waiting for her to freshen up.
The peony that had just gone out went and returned.
She looked embarrassed: "Little, Miss, Miss Eleven knelt in the front yard all night, and she hasn't left yet......"
Wen Qingzhu frowned, what did Wen Qingxin want to do?
She immediately ordered: "You go to Fushoutang and tell your grandmother that Miss Eleven is here, and she will know what to do." ”
Half an hour later, Wen Qingxin was dragged away by the Liu family.
The eastern courtyard was quiet again.
For the next half month, the capital has been secretly and strictly investigated.
There were only a few more forbidden troops walking the streets.
It used to be that there were still people going out at night, but now it is dark, and there is hardly any figure on the street.
On the fifteenth of March, a chamberlain came to the palace.
Mr. and Mrs. Wen Guanbin went out to greet them.
Not long after, Wen Dahai hurried to the east courtyard of Yanyuan with people.
Wen Qingzhu was trying to concoct the Condensing Pill.
"Miss Seven, my lord, please go to Ziming Hall to receive the holy decree."
For the first time, Wen Dahai's face had a solemn expression.
Wen Qingzhu put down the hammer in his hand, and Green Tao hurriedly came over with a wet handkerchief.
After wiping her hands, she asked Wen Dahai: "May I ask the sea steward if you know the father-in-law who came to announce the decree?" ”
"It's Gonggong Fang by the emperor's side." Wen Dahai stared at Wen Qingzhu carefully, wanting to see something from her expression.
It's a pity that Wen Qingzhu is not abnormal.
After Wen Qingzhu tidied up his appearance, he followed Wen Dahai to Zimingtang.
When I arrived at the main hall, Uncle Wen was also there.
They knelt in front of Grandpa Fang.
Wen Guanbin heard the footsteps behind him, turned around and ordered: "Hurry up and kneel down to receive the order!" ”
Wen Qingzhu stepped forward quickly and knelt down to receive the order.
Father-in-law Fang smiled and arched his hand to Wen Qingzhu: "I've seen Miss Wen Qi, the miscellaneous family will announce it." ”
After the little chamberlain next to him handed over the holy decree, Gonggong Fang opened the holy decree and began to announce the decree in a loud voice: "Fengtian carrier, the emperor edict said, Wen Qingzhu, the seventh lady of the Wen family, is virtuous and intelligent, and has excellent medical skills...... Chin this! "Celestials
After reading it, Father-in-law Fang said very respectfully: "Miss Wen, take the order." ”
Wen Qingzhu raised his hands and took the holy decree: "Courtier, thank Lord Longen." ”
Wen Guanbin and the three of them knelt down at the same time.
"Miss Wen, there's this." Father-in-law Fang turned around and took a gilded invitation from the little chamberlain on the other side, "Ten days later, Your Majesty will hold a reward banquet, and then invite the seventh lady to watch the ceremony." ”
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wen Qingzhu passed the invitation and hesitated in his heart.
Jiang Yue rewarded her like this, didn't he push her to the cusp.
Standing up, Wen Qingzhu squinted his eyes and gestured to the green pottery.
Green Tao handed over the purse that had been prepared a long time ago.
Father-in-law Fang politely excused himself and said, "Miss Wen Qi doesn't need to be polite. ”
Wen Qingzhu didn't dare to take it seriously, and hurriedly smiled and said: "Father-in-law Fang came from afar, and he didn't even drink tea, this is nothing, I hope Father-in-law Fang won't dislike it." ”
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu was so sincere, Father-in-law Fang reluctantly took it.
I tried the weight and was quite satisfied.
Fifty taels is nothing, but the Wen family is already generous.
After Father-in-law Fang left the Wen family, he got into the carriage.
The little chamberlain who followed him opened the purse given by Wen Qingzhu, and suddenly said in surprise: "Master, this is gold!" ”
"Gold?" When Father-in-law Fang opened his eyes, he was also different in his heart.
If it was silver, he could still understand it, but this Miss Wen Qi was gold as soon as she made a move.
Fifty gold is much more than a public nobleman's reward.
Father-in-law Fang restrained his emotions and instructed his apprentice: "Good life is good, this Miss Wen is amazing." ”
In the main hall of the Ziming Hall of the Wen family.
Wen Qingzhu stood in the middle of the room, standing with his hands down.
Wen Guanbin looked at her coldly: "Haven't you always stayed with Third Lady Lei?" How to make a great contribution in the Shouwang rebellion case? And what is this Shouwang rebellion case? What the hell happened at Fengguoji Temple? ”
Four questions were thrown over in a row, and Wen Qingzhu smiled bitterly.
It was not easy for her to let the big room and the fourth room attract Wen Guanbin's firepower.
Now that Jiang Yue's holy decree came down, she was at the center of the whirlpool again.
"Back to my grandfather, Your Majesty has not announced this matter for the time being, and Your Majesty has issued an order regarding the case of King Shou, and it cannot be publicized."
"Tell your grandfather to be a hype?" Wen Guanbin was so angry that the green tendons on the back of his hands burst out, this Wen Qingzhu is really getting more and more disagreeable.
Four days have passed since such an important news, and Wen Qingzhu didn't mention a word!
The fire in the south side of Fengguo Temple, he knew that there must be an inside story.
It's just that I didn't expect that King Shou was involved in the rebellion.
"I'm sorry, my granddaughter can't say!" Wen Qingzhu made up his mind not to tell the Wen family.
They are on the periphery of power, and the slightest mistake is doomed.
"Presumptuous!" Wen Guanbin was so angry that his face turned pale, and he wanted to slap her to death.
At this moment, Uncle Wen got up and helped Wen Qingzhu and said, "Father, since this matter was ordered by His Majesty, please don't persecute Zhu'er." ”
"Huh!" Wen Guanbin squinted at Uncle Wen and sneered, "Don't think I don't know what you think in your heart?" Lao Tzu made it clear here that if you really want to split up, then go out of the house! ”
Uncle Wen frowned, but he still continued: "Father, it's good that Zhu'er can come back alive, the child knows a little bit of news about the Fengguo Temple Annex, there are piles of corpses over there, and there are rivers of blood, this matter is not something that our Wen family can interfere in." ”
"Huh." Wen Guanbin continued to sneer.
Until the afternoon, a small servant outside the door came to report.
"Master, Captain Fu Xiao asks to see you."
Wen Guanbin was puzzled: "Which Fu Xiao cavalry captain?" ”
Hearing the word Fu, Wen Qingzhu's heart jumped, and he subconsciously thought of Fu Lie.
Has the emperor directly awarded Fu Lie the title?
After a while, Fu Lie, who was dressed in military uniform, walked in with the leader of the little servant.
Xiao Cavalry Lieutenant is the rank of the sixth rank, and Wen Guanbin is a civil official from the fifth rank.
By default, the rank is half a level higher than that of civil officials, because Fu Lie and Wen Guanbin are considered to be of the same rank.
"Master Fu." Wen Guanbin immediately stepped forward to salute.
He stared at Fu Lie's face, and always felt that he was inexplicably a little familiar.
Uncle Wen and the others behind him got up and saluted him.
"No courtesy." Fu Lie raised his hand, then turned sideways and let the subordinate behind him bring in a row of gifts.
After everyone opened the small box in their hands, it contained the four treasures of the study with excellent texture.
There are also some beautifully bound master calligraphy and paintings.
Wen Guanbin was puzzled, looked at these gifts and asked, "Master Fu, is this?" ”
Fu Lie replied respectfully: "Lord Wen, junior Fu Lie, on the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival, I was rescued by Miss Wen Qi, and I came here to thank you this time, some thin gifts are not respectful, I hope Lord Wen will accept it." ”
"Well, Master Fu is welcome, Qingzhu is her blessing to be able to help adults." Wen Guanbin responded politely, and he carefully recalled the Xiao cavalry captain in Beijing.
He didn't seem to have seen Fu Lie before.
Wen Qingzhu was faintly excited in her heart, and her gaze stopped on Fu Lie's face.
She can't go out these days, Fu Lie came over today, he must have been rewarded by Father-in-law Fang just now.
Uncle Wen, who was standing on the side, looked at Fu Lie and then at Wen Qingzhu, and roughly understood in his heart.
He reminded Wen Guanbin: "Father, please sit down, Master Fu." ”
"Yes, yes, Master Fu, please." Wen Guanbin hurriedly turned sideways and raised his hand to invite Fu Lie to sit down on the main seat.
But Fu Lie gave up his hand: "Lord Wen is an elder, and I am a junior, so you can sit at the bottom." ”
Seeing him give face like this, Wen Guanbin suddenly felt good in his heart.
Since Fu Lie insisted, Wen Guanbin was no longer invited.
After everyone sat down, Wen Guanbin asked her: "Master Fu, I have something to understand, there are two Xiao Cavalry Captains in the capital, and it seems that they have not seen Master Fu before?" ”
Fu Lie replied: "The junior previously served in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, and was only awarded the title of Xiao Cavalry Captain by His Majesty four days ago, and Lord Wen doesn't know that it's normal. ”
Four days ago!
Wen Guanbin's heart sank, isn't this the day of the Flower Dynasty Festival?
