Not long after, an old servant who was over half a hundred years old came to Wei Feng's courtyard: "Young master, master, please come over." ”

When I arrived at the palace, it was just getting dark.

The father-in-law who led the way took her to the gate of Qianyuan Palace and stopped.

"Miss Wen, go in by yourself, this girl has to stay outside for the time being."

"Thank you, father-in-law." Wen Qingzhu nodded, signaled to the green pottery to give the reward, and then walked in.

Just after passing the palace gate, the little chamberlain in front of Father-in-law Fang greeted him: "Slave Fang Hong, Miss Wen is here, please." ”

When he arrived at a side hall, Wen Qingzhu saw Jiang Yue sitting down from a distance.

She walked over and said hello.

After sitting down, I saw eight plates of cold dishes, eight plates of hot dishes, and eight kinds of soup on the table.

Jiang Yue had a smile on his face, but Wen Qingzhu knew that he was not in a good mood.

"These dishes, you can like them, I heard that when you were in Lao Wen's house before, you liked to go to Baiwei Building, there are a few signature dishes here, and Father-in-law Fang specially went to Baiwei Building to invite a cook to come and make them."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Wen Qingzhu didn't feel very good.

In her previous life, she knew that the more Jiang had a habit of inviting people to dinner, the more dishes there were, and the more complicated the problem became.

It's not good, and the good thing is that Jiang Yue doesn't like to talk when he eats.

That is, you can wait until later, Wen Qingzhu was eating, and he thought, what exactly is Jiang Yue trying to say?

In this way, the news that the emperor had a separate banquet for Wen Qingzhu spread throughout the palace in an instant.

Immediately afterwards, people in the palace continued to leave the palace under the pretext of excuses, and many high-ranking families also knew the news.

Everyone was speculating about what the emperor wanted to do.

Only in the courtyard of the head of the Wei family, Boss Wei, who was lying on the hospital bed, threw out a medicine bowl in a fit of rage.

There was still half a bowl of decoction in it that had not been drunk, and it was directly poured on Wei Feng, who couldn't move.

"Lao Tzu has only explained such a sentence, you sold the Wei family after you changed hands! A commander of the forbidden army, even if there is a criminal department book, how can it compare to the century-old reputation of the Wei family! ”

Boss Wei was so angry that his face turned red, and he scolded in one breath, but his spirit was much better.

Wei Feng knew that he was at a loss, and he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

Qiaoyu stood behind him, looking at Wei Feng very distressedly, but he didn't dare to step forward to clean up.

Fortunately, Yao'er, who stayed outside the door, felt that something was wrong, and quietly went to invite Mrs. Wei over.

Mrs. Wei was still scolding, and Mrs. Wei, supported by her eldest daughter-in-law, walked in tremblingly with a cane.

Seeing Wei Feng, who was sitting on a chair and couldn't move, his body was full of half-dried medicinal juice, and he was so angry that he raised his crutches to hit the old man Wei on the bed.

"You old woman!" Elder Wei was so frightened that he hurriedly rolled inside, and his face turned red again with anger, "Who called it!" ”

Mrs. Wei was so angry that she wanted to rush up and fight again, but she fainted with her eyes.

"Mother!" Mrs. Wei was so frightened that she hurriedly raised her hand, "Someone! The old lady fainted! ”

At this time, Mr. Wei, who was hiding on the bed, saw this, and was so frightened that he quickly climbed down, and just reached out to grab Mrs. Wei.

As a result, her hand was grabbed with a backhand, and Mrs. Wei's face was wrinkled, and she smiled like an old child: "Old thing! I was caught by the old woman! ”

There was chaos in the house for a while, but after all, Wei Feng's matter was temporarily revealed.

In the middle of the night, Wei Feng stood in front of Mrs. Wei's bed, and asked Qiaoyu to wait for Mrs. Wei to drink medicine.

He bowed his head and said, "Thank you, grandmother, for letting you toss again." ”

Mrs. Wei didn't like to drink medicine, so she waved her hand to make Qiaoyu retreat.

But Qiaoyu was clever, took out a candied fruit with Wei Feng on her back, and quietly placed it in front of Mrs. Wei: "The old lady should hurry up and drink the medicine." ”

Mrs. Wei has always liked sweets, but when she got older, she suffered from thirst-quenching disease, so she was forbidden by her family.

Qiaoyu made such a move, and immediately let Mrs. Wei drink the medicine obediently.

Seeing that Old Madam Wei was so refreshing, Wei Feng became suspicious, and when he was about to ask, Yao'er's voice came from the door.

"Young master, Miss Wen came to visit overnight."

"How is it so fast?" Wei Feng was worried that things would change, and when he was about to go out, he saw Old Madam Wei waving her hand.

"Let that girl come in and take a look, and let the old woman also see if her ability is worth the Wei family's life for her."

Mrs. Wei is seventy years old this year, has been an emperor of three dynasties, and was once the only daughter of a British duke.

Married into the Wei family for decades, she has seen all the ups and downs, and she has seen some things more clearly than most people.

The Wei family is indeed at the end of the road now.

In less than a quarter of an hour, Wen Qingzhu arrived at Old Madam Wei's room.

Asking about the smell of medicine, I immediately guessed the physical condition of Mrs. Wei.

"I've seen Mrs. Wei, General Wei." Wen Qingzhu is still very well-behaved in front of the older generation.

Old Madam Wei looked at her for a long time, and finally nodded lightly: "Well, yes, it didn't insult Xiao Lu's reputation." ”

Wen Qingzhu didn't understand it at first, but later realized that Mrs. Wei was talking about her maternal grandfather.

Only then did she remember that Mrs. Wei was the oldest in the capital, and her seniority was also the highest. Lazy people listen to books

Who knew that Mrs. Wei's words changed: "It's polite to be polite, but this kid is no longer a general, don't compliment him all the time, let him lose his brain, and ask your uncle and uncle to follow you." ”

"Yes." Wen Qingzhu nodded quietly, she only glanced at Old Madam Wei a few times.

Even though she was full of white hair and lying on the bed, she had a majestic aura all over her body, which Wen Qingzhu rarely saw.

The most important thing is that Wen Qingzhu has an inexplicable liking for this old lady.

This old lady Wei folded her grandson's face, Wei Feng didn't dare, and said with a dark face: "Grandmother, although I have served in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, I still have the false position of a general, is it wrong to call me a general?" ”

"Huh?" Old Madam Wei's chin was already cocked and sunken inward, and her eyes were staring, which looked inexplicably frightening.

Wei Feng chose to shut up.

Old Madam Wei gave her a chair and asked her to sit down and talk.

chatting and chatting, he accidentally figured out Wen Qingzhu's family situation.

Waiting for Wen Qingzhu to react, he secretly regretted it in his heart.

She is also a person who has lived for more than ten or twenty years, how can she slaughter the old lady-

Uh, well, this old lady has lived for more than seventy years.

Wen Qingzhu was convinced, he really couldn't compare.

"You mean you're living alone with your brother in another courtyard now?" Mrs. Wei didn't expect that even if the Wen family was separated, why did she live separately from her father.

"Yes, my younger brother wants to study, there are many people on my father's side, I'm worried that he won't be able to calm down, he is still young, and he will change his personality as soon as possible while he can change his personality now." Wen Qingzhu explained.

Old Mrs. Kewei is a human spirit, and it is not clear that this is her excuse.

But that's it, she can't worry about the affairs of the Wei family, and it is not her turn to do other people's affairs.

"Then what's the matter with you coming in the middle of the night?"

Old Madam Wei finally asked about the most important topic, but Wen Qingzhu glanced at Wei Feng first.

But I heard Wei Fenghe say respectfully: "At home, except for my grandfather, I am the most authoritative grandmother, and sometimes I ......."

"Ahem!" Old Mrs. Wei would not give her husband a son in front of outsiders, so she naturally interrupted Wei Feng's words.

Wen Qingzhu understood, and when he thought of the identity of Mrs. Wei, he also knew it in his heart.

Then she talked about the conversation she had with Jiang Yue in the palace earlier.

An hour ago.

After dinner, Jiang Yue took her to the window of the side hall.

Following Jiang Yue's gaze, she realized that this place could have an unobstructed view of the harem.

Wen Qingzhu vaguely guessed what Jiang Yue meant, but she didn't speak.

Jiang Yue said slowly: "That day in the mourning hall, after listening to your words, I was very touched, it has been almost ten years, every time I take the palace test, the people in front of me are more or less seen faces in the capital, scholars from other places, or children of poor families, there are some every year, but ......"

Wen Qingzhu still didn't speak, and listened silently.

Jiang Yue dared to say these words to her, and made up her mind that she didn't understand these things.

However, after talking about the imperial examination, Jiang Yue talked about her and the Wei family.

"I heard that you have been very close to the Wei family recently?"

Wen Qingzhu replied cautiously: "Yes, didn't the price of mica grass rise particularly sharply a few days ago?" The courtiers also have a few pharmacies in their hands, before they accidentally found General Wei in the paddock, it is rare that General Wei does not dislike it, the courtiers have been with him a few times, and heard about the lack of mica grass in the capital, so they helped the courtiers and transported a large number of mica grass from other places, which solved the urgent need. ”

"Mica?" Jiang Yue pondered for a moment, and finally looked at her, "It was you who solved this matter behind your back, originally I was worried that the plague would break out, but I didn't expect you to care more about the people of the capital than me." ”

"The doctor is benevolent, when the courtiers went to the street, the people who saw the doctor stood outside the hospital and lined up, and they knew what was going on after a little inquiry, plus the courtiers also helped in the palace, so they tried their best, in fact, the Wei family helped a lot, if it weren't for them, mica grass would not have been shipped in so quickly."

In the last sentence, Wen Qingzhu has a deep meaning.

She believed that if Jiang Yue wanted to check, he would definitely find out about the Yun family.

"The Wei family is also a loyal family, I was originally very optimistic about Wei Feng, but it's a pity that ......"

He became a human being, and he could only sit at home.

Thinking of the recent actions of the Pei family and the Fu family, Jiang Yue was displeased.

He suddenly asked: "The Wei family is also a century-old family, there should be outstanding young people among the children, right?" ”

"Well, the courtiers have only been in contact with General Wei a few times for the time being, and the other courtiers don't know." Wen Qingzhu couldn't figure out what Jiang Yue meant, so he could only temporarily show that he didn't know the Wei family very well.

Jiang Yue had a smile in his eyes: "The children of the Wei family are all good, you can have more dealings with the Wei family in the future, if you have something to do, just tell me." ”

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty." Wen Qingzhu didn't expect Jiang Yue to speak directly to this level.

After hesitating for a moment, Wen Qingzhu decided to ask: "Your Majesty, the courtiers have something to understand. ”

"Say." Jiang Yue was in a good mood, and the corner of his eye kept looking at Wen Qingzhu.

Seeing that she had a panic on her face, she was very satisfied.

Hearing Jiang Yue's tone, Wen Qingzhu's heart relaxed slightly, it seemed that Jiang Yue believed her for the time being.

"There are a large number of civil and military officials in the court, as well as institutions and departments such as the Hanlin Academy, Guozijian and so on, there should be many people who can recommend talents to His Majesty, and the courtiers are just civilians, so I really don't dare to recommend them casually."

Hearing her mention these people and departments, Jiang Yue's brows tightened even tighter, last time he also saw Wen Bogui's son taking over his father's position.

Not to mention others.
