In less than half an hour, Green Tao rushed back in surprise.

She just wanted to talk to Wen Qingzhu about the things downstairs when she saw the half-drunk teacup opposite her.

"Has anyone been here?" Green Tao looked at the empty seat.

Wen Qingzhu nodded and beckoned Lu Tao to sit down: "Well, a friend has been here, but he has already left, you tell me about the situation in the medical hall." ”

"Okay." Lu Tao's attention immediately turned back, and he began to talk to Wen Qingzhu about what was happening in the medical hall with great interest.

On the way home, Wen Qingzhu kept thinking.

The matter of the crown princess's miscarriage has dealt a big blow to the prince's mansion, at least the status of the prince's mansion is not as stable as before.

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the Wen family, the carriage had not stopped.

Wen Qingzhu heard Xia Feiyu's voice.

She immediately lifted the curtain and saw Wen Qingfang and Wen Mingyu sending Xia Feiyuan away.

Could it be that Concubine Xia has already decided?

When the carriage arrived at the door, Wen Qingzhu got up and got out of the car.

Xia Feiyuan, who hadn't gotten into the car yet, looked over with malicious intentions.

Wen Qingfang didn't want Xia Feiyuan to provoke Wen Qingzhu, but Wen Mingyu spoke in advance.

"Seventh sister, come over and say hello to Miss Xia."

Wen Qingzhu, who was going to leave directly, heard this and smiled mockingly: "Second brother's silver is enough for the past few days?" ”

Since the Wen family's various houses began to fight for the family property, in addition to the third room itself is rich, the fourth room has the connections of the treasurer and manager of the Wen family's industry.

The big house and the second room began to become more and more uncomfortable, and there was no silver in the account, so they could only rely on Wan's dowry to support them.

In the past, Wen Mingyu could go directly to the Wen family's account office to pay the silver.

Now he can only go to Wan's side to pay the silver.

Wan thought that Wen Mingyu would marry a daughter-in-law in the future, and Wen Qingfang would marry again, so he reduced most of his expenses.

This made Wen Mingyu uncomfortable all of a sudden.

A few days ago, he even made a mistake of deducting people's silver, which made Huayuan have a lot of trouble.

Hearing Wen Qingzhu mention this matter, Wen Mingyu's face suddenly turned red, and he scolded angrily: "What nonsense are you talking about!" When will I be short of money? ”

Wen Qingzhu sneered: "Okay, good, there is no shortage of silver, there is no shortage of silver." ”

Seeing that the situation was wrong, Wen Qingfang immediately came out to apologize: "Seventh sister, I'm really sorry, my brother just wants you to come over and say hello, and there is no malicious intent." ”

Wen Qingzhu was even more disdainful in her heart, and asked her to go over to Xia Feiyuan to salute just to say hello?

However, for the sake of Wen Qingfang's special knowledge, Wen Qingzhu decided not to bother with them.

She turned around to leave, but Xia Feiyuan suddenly called out to her: "Wen Qingzhu!" You give Miss Ben a stop! ”

Wen Qingfang gritted her teeth secretly, and hurriedly pulled Xia Feikite with a smile: "Sister Feikite, Sister Feikite, Seventh Sister still has something, let's take you to see her another day." ”

Xia Feiyuan didn't give Wen Qingfang face at all, shook off Wen Qingfang's hand, and walked straight towards Wen Qingzhu.

At this time, Wen Qingzhu had already reached the steps of the Wen family's gate.

Hearing the footsteps of Xia Feiyuan behind him, Wen Qingzhu stopped, and looked at Xia Feiyuan condescendingly: "Miss Xia, I know that you are the young lady of Uncle Hexian's Mansion, but the title of Uncle Hexian is the last generation when it comes to your father, you better not be arrogant in front of me!" ”

"You!" Xia Feiyuan was shocked and angry, she didn't expect Wen Qingzhu to poke at her family's shortcomings all of a sudden.

Surprised, she gritted her teeth and asked, "Did Wen Mingyu or Wen Qingfang tell you?" ”

"Of course not! I don't even know! Wen Mingyu jumped up and hurriedly rushed over.

Wen Qingfang had a headache, but she was still surprised that Wen Qingzhu actually knew so many things.

Seeing that Xia Feiji's arrogance had dropped, Wen Qingzhu took the green pottery home.

Entering the mansion, Lu Tao asked curiously: "How does Miss know that He Xianbo is the last generation of lords?" ”

Wen Qingzhu smiled and explained: "Actually, I guessed. ”

"How can you guess that?" Green Tao looked at Wen Qingzhu incredulously, and helped her more diligently.

Wen Qingzhu carefully explained to Lu Tao: "First of all, it is very unusual for Xia Feiyan to marry the prince as a side concubine, although the earl is not high, but marrying an ordinary prince as a concubine is obviously a better marriage, why do you think Xia Feiyan did not marry an ordinary prince?" ”

"It's because the power of the Hexian family is getting weaker and weaker, even ordinary princes can't look down on the Xia family!" Green Tao is enlightened.

"Well, in this way, it can only mean that the Xia family has not made any contribution to stabilize their family's title."

"So Xia Feiyan married the crown prince to consolidate the title of the Xia family, but she has never been able to give birth to a child, and her position in the prince's mansion is unstable, so she didn't help the Xia family much at all." Green Tao suddenly found that he seemed to know the reason.

Wen Qingzhu was very pleased, and held the back of Lu Tao's hand: "And Xia Feiyuan has been coming to the Wen family frequently since last time, what do you think the Xia family is about?" ”

Green Tao thought for a moment and exclaimed: "It can't be that you want to marry the Wen family, right?" ”

"Yes, but obviously the Xia family doesn't know the true situation of the Wen family." Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but sneer when he thought of this.

She has a good relationship with the crown princess, and now Jiang Yuancheng has come to the Wen family many times.

This made the Xia family have to pay attention to the Wen family.

Under normal circumstances, with the identity of Xia Feiyuan's concubine, the Xia family felt that they would not consider the Wen family.

But the Xia family is already declining, and they must forcibly save a wave.

It just so happened that the eldest lady Wan also wanted to rely on the Xia family to take the throne.

Both sides have intentions, but they don't know each other's true situation.

The most important thing is that Concubine Xia is in the Prince's Mansion, and Wan and Wen Qingfang are also staring at the Prince's Mansion.

It's a big deal.

April passed so uneventfully.

Jasmine kept coming over every day to report, and Xia Feikite came to Wen's house frequently.

Wen Mingyu and Wen Qingfang from the big room accompanied him at any time.

Wen Qingzhu was not in a hurry, and began to use the Xue-style medical hall to secretly inquire about the news of the capital.

By May, Fu Lie will be back. Wave

Sitting in the study, Wen Qingzhu flipped through a few recent documents, and was so worried that he couldn't do it.

Jiang Yuancheng officially took up his post in the Ministry of Households.

This shows that he is ready to start taking the throne.

At the beginning of May, the reputation of Xue-style medical hall gradually spread.

Wen Qingzhu sat on the second floor of the Ruyi Teahouse, drinking tea quietly.

After a while, Zheng Xu, who was full of tiredness, came upstairs.

He looked very depressed, and his eyes were scattered.

After sitting down opposite Wen Qingzhu, he only looked at the empty teacup in front of him fixedly.

Even if Wen Qingzhu took away the teacup and poured him a new cup of tea, he still didn't react.

"Zheng Gongzi!" Wen Qingzhu couldn't stand it anymore, and reached out and knocked on the table.

Zheng Xu was suddenly startled, hurriedly raised his head, stared at Wen Qingzhu for a long time, and finally covered his face and cried in a low voice.

This scene really frightened Wen Qingzhu, and he hurriedly asked him, "What happened?" How did you...... Why are you crying? ”

She really couldn't understand in her heart that Zheng Xu, a big man, was actually crying!

Still cried in front of her.

Zheng Xu covered his face stiffly, and the sound of whimpering kept coming out of his throat.

After waiting for a long time, he seemed to slowly calm down.

After letting go of his hand, Zheng Xu spread out his hands, his eyes were red, and there were tear stains under his cheeks.

Wen Qingzhu took out his handkerchief and handed it to her.

Zheng Xu took it unceremoniously, wiped the tears off his face before raising his eyes to look at Wen Qingzhu.

"Miss Wen, I'm smiling at you."

"No, it's fine." Wen Qingzhu's smile was a little reluctant, squinting at the snot and tears on his handkerchief, and regretting it in his heart.

Why did she give her handkerchief to Zheng Xu!

It's just that after a few seconds, Zheng Xu's expression dropped again.

Wen Qingzhu knocked on the table again and said to him seriously: "You called me, what is the matter?" It won't be the crown princess who will let you get married quickly! ”

"How do you know!" Zheng Xu blinked and looked at Wen Qingzhu in surprise.

Wen Qingzhu's breath stagnated: "I just said it casually." ”

But she felt strange again: "But didn't the crown princess often urge you to get married before?" How are you ...... this time Well, so sad? ”

Zheng Xu's hands were placed on the table for a while, and then on his knees.

Back and forth five or six times, as if there was nowhere for his hands.

Wen Qingzhu took the teacup and gave Zheng Xu a cup of hot tea again: "You drink this first, and we'll talk about it." ”

Zheng Xu still did the same, and when the hot tea was in his stomach, his whole body warmed up.

He didn't seem so nervous anymore, and whispered about him and the crown princess: "A few days ago, Wenru found out about the poem I wrote. ”

Wen Qingzhu was shocked, Zheng Xu actually called the crown princess Wenru.

So—

When he raised his eyes, Zheng Xu looked at each other.

Zheng Xu nodded: "That poem was written when I was young, and I was happy with Wenru at that time." ”

"Does the crown princess know you like her?" Wen Qingzhu was surprised, but he didn't expect that at this juncture, He Wenru actually found out about it.

Zheng Xu's eyes were first happy, and then dimmed: "Well, after she had a miscarriage, she was depressed and couldn't sleep at night, so I asked my sister-in-law to invite her to come to Zheng's house to relax, I wanted to accompany her, but she discovered my poems when I was a teenager." ”

"Uh......" Wen Qingzhu felt that Zheng Xu was a little pitiful.

He Wenru has been married to the prince for many years, and Zheng Xu has done his best to help the prince over the years.

Everyone thought he was taking care of his nephew.

I didn't expect this kind of inside story to be here.

"What did the crown princess say?" Wen Qingzhu cautiously asked this sentence.

Zheng Xu seemed to think of something, tears welled up in his eyes all of a sudden, he held the empty teacup tightly, and his voice kept trembling: "Wenru said that she used to be happy with me." ”

Wen Qingzhu was shocked after hearing this.

In this way, he and He Wenru were in love back then!

After a long time, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but ask him: "Then why did the crown princess marry the prince back then?" ”

"Because the prince, who was not yet crowned the crown prince at that time, also liked Wenru, and every time Wenru came to my house, the prince would also come over." Zheng Xu's voice is very worrying to listen to.

Wen Qingzhu felt that this matter was wrong, Jiang Yuansheng when he was a teenager should know that he would be the prince in the future.

His concubine is very likely to be the future queen, and she must be a daughter with good conduct, good looks and an innocent family background.

Generally speaking, there is no way for the prince to choose for himself.

Wen Qingzhu asked: "The crown princess at that time was chosen by the queen." ”

Zheng Xu nodded: "Well, at that time, my sister hesitated in the He family and the Cui family, and after the prince found out, he secretly went to see the girls of the two families, and finally chose Wenru." ”

"The prince doesn't like the Cui family's young lady?" Wen Qingzhu felt a little strange.

Zheng Xu thought for a while and said: "Old Cui, you know, she is his granddaughter, and she is very favored in the Cui family, but she has always liked His Royal Highness King Ning, and her temperament is a little ......."

"Wait! The information is a bit messy, you let me slow down. Wen Qingzhu raised his hand to ask Zheng Xu to stop.

Cui Lao is a retired cabinet minister, and now he is still an old minister respected by the emperor, with great power and at the same time a neutral.

Judging from the last contact, the Cui family should not marry their granddaughter into the royal family.

Now Jiang Yuanan's concubine is undecided, and there are many side concubines.

Wen Qingzhu asked, "Later, the Cui family married Miss Cui out of the capital?" ”

"Well, the Cui family saw that her sister had set up the He family, and they sent Miss Cui away after two months." Zheng Xu was very unwilling in his heart, it would have been better if the Cui family had taken the initiative at that time.
