Chapter 24: A Month's Grounding
At this time, Wen Guanbin's voice appeared at the door.
"Which is Master Zhang's painting?"
Everyone looked up and saw that Wen Guanbin was stepping into the house.
Wen Qingzhu and the others immediately got up and hurriedly greeted: "Grandfather." ”
The old lady stood up with the help of Ziyan.
Seeing Wen Guanbin coming, she inertly explained to Wen Qingxin: "Master, it's just a painting sent by the seven girls, I don't know if it's true or not!" ”
Wen Guanbin walked to the side of the warm bed, asked the maid to step back, and picked up the picture scroll and opened it to see.
After looking up and down, he immediately frowned, turned his face and asked, "Who spilled the tea on this!" ”
When the old lady heard this, she hurriedly asked, "Is this painting the true work of Master Zhang?" ”
Wen Guanbin calmly frowned, nodded and said: "It is a genuine work, and it is also one of the three rare paintings in his later years." ”
"Huh?" The old lady was also stunned.
Wen Guanbin closed his eyes, then glanced around at everyone, and finally his gaze fell on Wen Qingxin.
The head of the Wen family has always been serious, and when he saw it, Wen Qingxin was really scared to cry this time.
"Grandfather, grandfather...... Xin'er didn't mean it. ”
The old lady walked over, protected Wen Qingxin behind her, and persuaded: "It's just an orchid picture, you are scared of Xin'er, why don't you let Ji Hua find another one." ”
Wen Guanbin pinched his eyebrows, and said in a more gloomy voice: "Zhang Qian rarely painted orchids in his life, do you know how rare this painting is?" ”
Only then did the old lady realize the seriousness of the problem, and opened her mouth, not knowing how to speak.
Wen Guanbin turned around, looked at Wen Qingzhu and asked, "You sent this painting?" ”
Wen Qingzhu bowed his head and whispered: "Yes, Master Zhang's painting is only this one." ”
Hearing this, Wen Guanbin's brows furrowed even more.
Looking back at the old ladies and them, he asked Wen Qingzhu again: "Didn't you say that this painting is genuine?" How to put it on the warm bed at will! ”
"The granddaughter said it, but Xin'er's sister suspected that it was not true, and the granddaughter couldn't produce evidence, so she let the maid let it go like this......"
Wen Qingzhu was terrified on his face, but he was sneering in his heart.
She would rather destroy the painting than let the Wen family use her mother's things to please that person!
Wen Mingliang in his previous life, it was precisely because of the solemn calligraphy that he had a friendship with the fifth prince Jiang Yuancheng.
Later, Wen Guanbin found out that she still had Zhang Qian's orchid picture, and after forcibly leaving, he gave it to Jiang Yuancheng and asked him to curry favor with the emperor at the birthday banquet.
It was precisely because of this opportunity that he was named the king of Chu.
Wen Guanbin's career is not going well, and he is looking for a relationship everywhere.
finally caught Jiang Yuancheng's line, but there was nothing that could enter his eyes.
Looking at the destroyed cliff orchid in front of him, Wen Guanbin was furious, and turned his head to stare at Wen Qingxin fiercely.
"From today onwards, Wen Shiyi will be grounded for a month, learn the rules of etiquette and come out again!"
After speaking, Wen Guanbin threw down the orchid picture, threw up his sleeves and left.
"Grandmother! Grandmother! Xin'er really didn't know that this painting was so valuable! beg grandmother to help Xin'er intercede, Xin'er still wants to accompany her grandmother! ”
As soon as Wen Guanbin left, Wen Qingxin immediately knelt down and begged the old lady.
Wen Guanbin rarely didn't give her face, and this time the old lady was also annoyed.
She shook off Wen Qingxin, completely hardened her heart, and said coldly: "Go back and reflect on it!" Now I'll have Fang'er with me! ”
"Grandmother! Grandmother! Wen Qingxin panicked instantly, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed.
It's a pity that this time, the old lady didn't raise her eyelids, and ordered: "Purple smoke!" Send someone to send Xin'er back! ”
Ziyan took the order, signaled to the maid behind him, and helped Wen Qingxin up.
Wen Qingxin was used to being rude, and immediately struggled and yelled: "You! Let go of Miss Ben! ”
The old lady raised her eyes and said in a solemn tone: "Xin'er." ”
A cold sweat broke out on Wen Qingxin's head instantly.
Only then did she remember that this was Fushoutang, not a place for her to go wild.
In desperation, she could only follow the maid out.
When she passed by Wen Qingzhu's side, she glanced at Wen Qingzhu viciously.
The room finally quieted down, and the old lady looked at Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu stood quietly, waiting for the fate.
Who knows, this time the old lady did not want to punish her, but asked: "In addition to the calligraphy from last time and the painting this time, what other master's things do you have there?" ”
Wen Qingzhu replied respectfully: "Back to grandmother, there are others, but they are all invaluable calligraphy and paintings, if grandmother likes it, just send someone to the treasury to choose." ”
"Let me just pick your mother's dowry? Are you saying that our Wen family bullied you, a motherless person! The old lady is looking at Wen Qingzhu now, and it is becoming more and more unpleasant.
Wen Qingzhu hurriedly explained: "My granddaughter didn't mean that, these things were left to me by my mother, the key to the cage was stolen last time, and my granddaughter remembered to count the things in the warehouse, and found that this painting was the best, thinking that it was the most suitable to give to my grandmother, but I didn't expect it to be ...... by Xin'er's sister."
"Your cage key was stolen?" The old lady frowned.
"Yes, otherwise I wouldn't have counted my mother's dowry, and then I knew that Mr. Zhuang's notebook was a fake." Wen Qingzhu began to gradually put down the set.
remembered the matter of the last copy, plus what Wen Qingzhu said today.
The old lady noticed something unusual.
After a while, the old lady didn't ask much and asked Wen Qingzhu to retreat.
After bidding farewell to the old lady, Wen Qingzhu returned to the east courtyard of Yanyuan with green pottery.
After intrigue for more than an hour, Wen Qingzhu was a little tired and instructed Lu Tao to prepare hot water.
She was going to take a good bath.
Lying in the bathtub, Wen Qingzhu closed his eyes and let the green pottery take care of his hair.
At this time, Jasmine stood outside the screen and said, "Miss, there is movement in the West Courtyard." ”
"Say."
"In recent days, the slave maid has found that Lu Yu frequently goes out of the house, and today I found that there was a slag buried in the flower pot thrown out of the west courtyard."
Wen Qingzhu opened his eyes suddenly, and asked sideways, "Is anyone sick in the West Courtyard?" ”
"No, that's why the slave felt strange, so she brought a little back."
Wen Qingzhu thought about it, got up, put on a bath towel, and walked out.
"Show me."
Jasmine opened a handkerchief, revealing a mess of pitch-black dregs.
Wen Qingzhu picked up a point, crushed it on his fingertips, and then put it under his nose and sniffed.
It's actually this medicine!
A meaningful smile appeared at the corner of Wen Qingzhu's mouth.
"Miss, are they all right?" Green Tao stood beside him, a little worried that Aunt Wu would continue to poison her.
"It's okay, this medicine is used by Aunt Wu on herself."
Wen Qingzhu raised his head, looked at Jasmine and said, "You are doing very well, I am going out next month, I can help you see your mother's illness." ”
Jasmine's eyes were red, and she knelt down and kowtowed: "Thank you, Miss, for your kindness." ”
She was not the son of the Wen Mansion, and she was not accepted elsewhere, so she was assigned to Wen Qingzhu.
After knowing Wen Qingzhu's situation, she still did her best, and only asked for more rewards for her mother's medical treatment.
Unexpectedly, Wen Qingzhu actually knew about her family.
After Jasmine stepped back, Wen Qingzhu continued to go back to the bath.
Lu Tao sat behind her, massaged her, and asked, "Jasmine is quite loyal, I didn't expect Aunt Yue to really find you someone who can use it." ”
Wen Qingzhu closed her eyes and replied: "She doesn't have a son now, I helped her get favored, if she wants to continue to get my support, she will definitely do her best in these things." ”
"And what if she has a son?" Green Tao began to worry again.
Wen Qingzhu said with a smile: "When Aunt Yue gave birth to Wen Qingmei, she lost her body, and it was not easy to get pregnant again, not to mention that the one in the West Courtyard was not a good stubble. ”
"That's good." Green pottery is relieved.
This side of Fukujudo.
The old lady sat on the couch and listened to the Wan's report in front of her.
"Mingliang's matter, Biyu has already admitted it, she said that she wanted to be Xiao Jiu's Tongfang, so she took the medicine without permission, but I didn't expect so many people to eat those things at that time."
The old lady didn't look at her, and asked lightly, "It has nothing to do with the master of the second room?" ”
"So far, it's so." Wan Shi knew some inside information, but she didn't want the handle of the second room to be held by the old lady.
"I see, you go down."
"Yes." Wan bowed his head and retired.
When Wan left, the old lady raised her head and instructed Grandma Sun beside her: "Go and call Yun'er." ”
"Yes." Mama Lu turned around and left the house.
Outside Fushou Hall, the eldest lady Wan did not leave, standing under the tree not far away and waiting.
After a while, Dong Ling rushed back and said, "Madam, Mama Lu went to Fuyuan." ”
Wan Shi instantly clenched the veil and stared in the direction of Fushoutang, secretly hating.
After a few seconds, Wan calmed down: "Let's go back!" ”
As long as she is still the Wen family's long-term wife, the Yang family in the fourth room will not want to take the housekeeper's pair cards from her.
The fourth lady, Yang, followed Mama Lu and hurried to Fushoutang.
As soon as she entered the house, she ran over crying, and threw herself into the arms of the old lady.
"Auntie! You have to call the shots for Liang'er and Xin'er! They are not only your nephews, but also your grandchildren! ”
The old lady hugged Yang and comforted: "I know that I won't let them suffer this loss in vain!" ”
"Is it poisoned by my sister-in-law! There is also Mingxuan's copybook, Liang'er told me that I was a fake, why did he send it out later! Who the hell is behind us who can't get used to our four-room people! ”
Yang raised his head and asked the old lady angrily.
The old lady touched her hand and said, "This matter has nothing to do with your sister-in-law, the second room has been a little restless recently, it seems that I have to beat them well." ”
"The people in the second room?" Yang was a little unconvinced, "How dare the people in the second room bully my family's Liang'er Xin'er!" They have eaten the heart of a bear and the gall of a leopard! ”
"If you have time these days, go to Yanyuan more often, take a look at the seven girls, look at the two aunts of the third child, come back and tell me if there is anything unusual."
"Why is it related to the people in the third room again?" Yang became more and more incomprehensible.
The old lady taught earnestly: "Since you want to get the butler's pair of cards, you must first be familiar with the entire Wen family, you are my niece, and you are different from the Wan family." ”
"My daughter-in-law knows." Yang shook his head, revealing a teachable appearance.
Early the next morning, in the backyard, Wen Qingzhu checked the growth of the medicinal seedlings.
Jasmine walked over from the front and said, "Miss, the fourth lady has come to visit you, and she has brought the ninth young master." ”
Wen Qingzhu was stunned: "Why are they here?" ”
