Chapter 16 The Wood Shows in the Forest

The third lady of the capital has a rich dowry, but she didn't expect to be so generous when she made a move.

Aunt Wu's actions in the past few years, the old lady is not unaware.

It's just that Wen Sanye is unwilling to continue, and the old lady can only promote Aunt Wu.

The reason why I haven't mentioned this matter has been that I can't get used to Aunt Wu's shallow eyelids and stare at Lu's dowry.

At a glance today, she found that the Lu family's dowry was unusually rich.

Touching the bracelet under the sleeve, Songyan thought about it.

Although she was favored in front of the old lady, she was far inferior to Ziyan.

"Miss Seven, don't worry, the slave will take this matter to heart." The smile on Songyan's face was a little sincere, and she decided to hold Wen Qingzhu, a cash cow, for the time being.

After sending away Ziyan, Wen Qingzhu continued to count the ledgers.

At noon, Xi'er brought lunch.

Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, yesterday it was still ginseng chicken soup, and today it has become tomato and egg drop soup.

Wen Qingzhu picked up the chopsticks and asked while eating: "The people in the kitchen didn't embarrass you today." ”

Xi'er pursed her lips, as if she had something to say.

The green Tao beside him frowned: "Miss asked!" Just say what happens, Miss will make the decision for you! ”

"It's the little peach next to Miss Twelve!" Xi'er lowered her head, gritted her teeth and said, "Today's soup was originally suckling pigeon soup, and Xiao Tao suddenly appeared and snatched your soup." ”

Wen Qingzhu smiled silently, this Wen Qingmei is really too tender.

But I didn't give her face, and I will take revenge today.

Narrow-minded, it seems that there will not be much threat in the near future.

After lunch, Wen Qingzhu put down his chopsticks.

Xi'er cleaned up the table, and Wen Qingzhu told her: "In the future, you go to get the meal, no matter what the mothers in the kitchen say, let the people in the West Courtyard and the people listening to Qinxuan pick it out first, and then you take it, you know." ”

"Yes, slave remembers." Xi'er nodded obediently.

When Xi'er left, Wen Qingzhu got up and took the green pottery to an ear room in the backyard.

"Miss." Peony was looking at a stove, and when she saw Wen Qingzhu coming, she immediately turned around and said hello.

Wen Qingzhu walked to the stove and picked up the rag to open the lid of the jar.

A rich fragrance hits the nose.

After closing the lid, Wen Qing turned around and asked Peony, "I see that you know a lot about herbal medicine, are you willing to learn medical skills from me?" ”

Hearing this, Peony raised her head sharply and looked at Wen Qingzhu incredulously.

These days, following Wen Qingzhu, how her medical skills are, all the peonies are in her eyes.

After coming to her senses, Peony immediately knelt down and kowtowed to thank her: "Thank you Miss Seventh for your great kindness!" Slave willing! ”

"Get up, take care of this pot of decoction first, and wait until it is ready to be sent to the front hall."

"The slave obeys." Peony got up, her voice trembling a little.

After leaving the ear room, Wen Qingzhu returned to the study and continued to look at the account book.

Lu Tao stood beside her and served, and asked a little jealously: "Why do you teach peony medicine, she is the son of the Wen family, and she is not our person, why are you so good to her?" ”

Wen Qingzhu smiled and said: "Peony's father has dysentery, and he didn't get better after taking medicine for two years, and he lost his position as a steward at the beginning of this year, otherwise she wouldn't have come to our East Hospital, she did it for my medical skills." ”

"She has a purpose!" Green pottery was a little angry.

"It's not terrible to have a purpose, it's terrible to have a bad heart." Zhang Taoqing looked out the window, her eyes gradually blurred.

When the unitary time arrived, the peony was delivered on time to replenish the soup.

After letting her go, Wen Qingzhu asked her, "Are you literate?" ”

"The slave knows something." Peony bowed her head and replied.

"This medical book is for you, you read it first, and if you don't understand, ask me." Wen Qingzhu handed her an old blue-skinned medical book.

Peony took it excitedly, kowtowed again and thanked him: "The slave is willing to be a cow and a horse for you, and she will never give up." ”

Wen Qingzhu replied and asked her to step down.

"Let's go, call Jasmine in, let's go to Zimingtang to see Mingxuan." Wen Qingzhu got up and decided to take the initiative.

Two quarters of an hour later, the three of them arrived at the Ziming Hall.

As soon as Wen Qingzhu entered Wen Mingxuan's small courtyard, Ah Lai immediately greeted him.

"Miss, the young master is waiting for you inside."

Wen Qingzhu asked as he walked, "How is Mingxuan's health these days?" Is there anything out of the ordinary? ”

Ah Lai answered one by one, and Wen Qingzhu was relieved.

When he arrived at the study, Wen Mingxuan saw her coming and immediately got up.

"Sister!"

Wen Qingzhu stepped forward, looked at the books on his desk, and said with concern: "You have been resting these days, you don't have to work so hard." ”

Rather than letting him get ahead, Wen Qingzhu wants him to be safe and happy.

Wen Mingxuan walked out and pulled her to the small table and sat down.

"I know what Sister said, but tomorrow my father will inspect his homework, and I have to review it well."

The two were talking, and Ah Qi outside suddenly came in.

"Young Master, the eighth miss is in the lotus pavilion, I heard that the seventh miss is here, and I want to ask the young lady and the young master to go over and learn calligraphy together."

Thinking that Wen Qinghe helped her last time, and Wen Mingxuan rarely went out, Wen Qingzhu nodded and responded, "Okay, let's go over." ”

"Sister!" Wen Mingxuan was a little anxious, he still had to review it well.

Wen Qingzhu asked everyone to retreat, leaving only her and Wen Mingxuan in the house.

"Mingxuan, do you believe Sister A?" Wen Qingzhu squatted down and looked at him at eye level.

"I believe it." Wen Mingxuan was a little at a loss, why was Sister so serious.

Wen Qingzhu held his shoulders and said seriously: "If you believe in Sister A, just listen to Sister A, go out with me today, and tomorrow your father will inspect your homework, you must be wrong twice." ”

"For, why ......" Wen Mingxuan didn't understand.

If he hadn't studied hard and made his father look the other way, Uncle Wen wouldn't have gone to see his sister at all.

Wen Qingzhu didn't know what he thought, but the wood was beautiful in the forest, and the wind would destroy it.

"Do you know why Aunt Wu tried everything she could to poison you?" Wen Qingzhu asked with a solemn eyebrow.

Wen Mingxuan shook his head.

"Because you are smarter than Wen Mingqian, and you work harder than Wen Mingqian, even if you are only five years old, your future achievements will definitely be greater than him, your father naturally likes you more, and your status and I will naturally rise, if you are weak and sick, you don't have the energy to study at all?"

After listening to Wen Qingzhu's words, Wen Mingxuan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.

Seeing that Wen Mingxuan had already understood, Wen Qingzhu continued: "People's hearts are unpredictable, Aunt Wu, they and we are destined to be mortal enemies, what you have to do now is to hide your clumsiness and make yourself look like you don't pose any threat to Wen Mingqian." ”

"But if I disappoint my father, my father won't listen to me, go and see Sister more, when the time comes, you will be bullied alone in Yanyuan, what should you do?" Wen Mingxuan spoke, his voice gradually choked.

Wen Qingzhu's eyes instantly turned red, tears rained down, and he hugged Wen Mingxuan tightly.

"Don't worry! Sister will protect herself in the future! It will protect you too! ”
