Chapter Thirty-Three: But Three-Yuan Soup?
Wen Qingzhu walked in quickly and told Lu Tao to close the door.
After looking around the house and finding that there was nothing unusual, he asked Jasmine, "What's the matter?" ”
Jasmine replied: "An hour after Miss left, Aunt Wu took the fourth miss to visit suddenly, and she had to see Miss Miss. ”
"And then?" Wen Qingzhu sat down with peace of mind.
Jasmine stood beside her and continued: "The slave maid said that the young lady had fallen asleep and asked them to come back tomorrow, but they insisted on coming in, and they all broke into the door of your bedroom. ”
"Did they say why they wanted to see me?" Wen Qingzhu felt a little strange.
In the middle of the night, why did they see themselves?
"They said that they were grateful to the young lady for interceding in front of the old lady."
Wen Qingzhu thought about it for a while, and realized in his heart: "So that's the case." ”
"Miss, it was Aunt Yue who came, and Aunt Wu and they were willing to leave." Jasmine didn't understand what she meant, but continued.
Wen Qingzhu asked again: "What did Aunt Yue do?" ”
"Aunt Yue said that she also wanted to see Miss, just enough to be with Aunt Wu, Aunt Wu heard this, immediately changed her face, and after a stalemate for a quarter of an hour, she took the fourth miss back to the West Courtyard."
After listening to Jasmine's words, Wen Qingzhu nodded: "I know, you will go with me to listen to Qinxuan tomorrow." ”
From this point of view, Aunt Wu didn't know about her going out, but she really had something to see her.
But Aunt Yue came in such a timely manner, it is very likely that she will know that she is not there.
Aunt Yue's housekeeper has only been around for more than two months, and the news is so well-informed.
This time, she has to repay Aunt Yue well.
Early the next morning, news came from the West Courtyard that Aunt Wu's mother and daughter were sick.
Wen Qingzhu sat in the small hall to eat, and when he heard Xi'er's report, he smiled silently.
Aunt Wu really has a plan.
In this way, Wen Mingqian will inevitably come to the West Courtyard.
Wen Mingqian knew that their mother and daughter had been wronged, and Uncle Wen would naturally know about it.
After putting down the chopsticks, Wen Qingzhu got up and instructed Lu Tao: "You prepare Sanyuan soup with Peony at home, and I will take Jasmine to listen to Qinxuan." ”
"Miss don't worry, the slave must be ready." Green Tao nodded and turned to go to the backyard.
took Jasmine out, and as soon as he arrived at the small garden, he met Wen Mingqian, who came over in a hurry.
"Tenth brother." Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly.
He already knew everything about last night.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu now, he glanced at her angrily, ignored it, and walked straight over.
Looking at Wen Mingqian's back, Wen Qingzhu shook his head regretfully.
Aunt Wu called Wen Mingqian to come to the backyard many times, and Uncle Wen must have disliked it.
Although the Wu family was able to help Wen Guanbin, they did not help Wen Shuquan.
In this way, Uncle Wen must be dissatisfied in his heart.
When she arrived at Tingqinxuan, Aunt Yue had already prepared.
As soon as Wen Qingzhu came, he was invited to sit down, and there were all kinds of refreshments on the table.
"Auntie has a heart." Wen Qingzhu said politely.
Aunt Yue poured the tea herself and smiled kindly: "Miss Seventh doesn't have to be polite, in this Yan Garden, you are the serious master, these are what the concubines should do." ”
Wen Qingzhu took her tea and took a sip.
It is the best Longjing tea.
"Auntie, Xiao Qi came this time, mainly to thank you, I was too tired to serve my grandmother last night, so I rested early, and the affairs of the East Courtyard bothered you."
Aunt Yue respectfully bowed her head and said: "Miss Seventh is polite, your health is not good, you worked so hard last night, you should have rested earlier, the concubine knows that you are quiet, you didn't stop Aunt Wu early last night, it was the concubine's dereliction of duty, and the concubine will definitely take good care of the house in the future, so that others will no longer disturb you at will." ”
The corners of Wen Qingzhu's lips curled.
Listening to this, even if you know that she is flattering, it is still very comfortable to listen to.
This month's aunt is really an interesting person, it seems that she really knows what happened when she went out last night.
But since she has shown her loyalty, Wen Qingzhu will not be stingy.
"Jasmine."
Jasmine behind her pulled a piece of paper out of her sleeve.
After putting it on the table, Wen Qingzhu pushed it to Aunt Yue: "Auntie, my father has been working a lot recently, and this recipe for Sanyuan soup was left to me by my mother, which nourished my kidneys and nourished qi, and my father liked it very much." ”
Looking at the Fang Zi on the table, Aunt Yue was slightly stunned.
The recipe for tonifying the kidneys and nourishing qi is still what Uncle Wen likes......
In these two short sentences, she had to think about it more.
After contemplating for a while, Aunt Yue put her head away and hesitated for a long time before asking, "Is the concubine really okay?" ”
"My father is in the prime of life, so of course my aunt can." Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly.
Hearing her affirmation, no matter how calm Aunt Yue was, she couldn't help but get excited.
She has less than the West Courtyard, and she is a son.
After Aunt Yue calmed down, Wen Qingzhu said again: "Auntie, you have to study this three-yuan soup hard, these two days, I will go back to prepare three-yuan soup, I plan to visit my father, I want to come to Yanyuan in a few days, he will come to Yanyuan again, aunt should take advantage of the opportunity." ”
Aunt Yue got up and saluted: "Thank you Miss Seventh for your kindness, if you need anything in the future, Miss Seventh will do her best to do her best." ”
For Aunt Yue's words, Wen Qingzhu didn't care very much.
After returning to the East Courtyard, Peony brought the three-yuan soup over.
Wen Qingzhu picked up the small spoon, scooped a little, and tasted it.
After putting down the spoon, she commanded again: "When the heat is over, do it again." ”
"Yes." Peony came over and brought the three-yuan soup down.
Half an hour later, the peony was served again.
Wen Qingzhu tasted it and put down the spoon: "No!" Redo it. ”
Half an hour later, the peony was served again.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head after tasting it: "No! ”
Over and over again, it wasn't until late afternoon that Peony boiled a three-yuan soup that satisfied her.
Looking at the sky, Wen Qingzhu got up and instructed Lu Tao: "Prepare a cup of Sanyuan soup and follow me to Zimingtang." ”
The two arrived at Zimingtang and saw Cao Yu at Wen Shuquan's door.
"Steward Cao, the trouble is spread through, I brought soup to my father." Wen Qingzhu was very polite.
What happened to Aunt Wu in Fushoutang yesterday, he heard a little.
The old lady was so polite to Aunt Wu, thinking that coming to the Wu family should be able to help Master Wen.
Once successful, Aunt Wu's status will definitely rise with the tide.
Thinking of this, Cao Yu smiled and said: "Miss Seven, I'm really sorry, the third master doesn't like others to disturb at this time, why don't Miss Seven go back first?" ”
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows and said with a meaningful smile: "Steward Cao, my father said last time that if I want to come, I can come." ”
Hearing this, Cao Yu replied without changing his face: "Since this is the case, then let the villain go in first and say goodbye." ”
Wen Qingzhu nodded.
After Cao Yu entered, Green Tao immediately rolled his eyes.
Why don't you like others to disturb, it's not that you look down on our young lady.
The previous green pottery may not be able to help but scold.
But now, following Wen Qingzhu, she has learned to be patient.
Soon, Cao Yu turned around, stood on the side, and raised his hand respectfully and said, "Seventh Miss, Third Master, please come in." ”
"Thank you, Steward Cao." Wen Qingzhu bowed his head slightly and stepped in.
When he arrived at the house, Uncle Wen still bowed his head to deal with official business.
Wen Qingzhu stepped forward and shouted in a soft voice, "Daddy, Zhu'er is here." ”
In the past, Wen Qingzhu was elegant and dignified in front of Wen Shuquan.
Now suddenly his voice was soft, which provoked Uncle Wen's ears to move, and then raised his head.
I saw Wen Qingzhu with his hands behind his back, tilting his head slightly, looking at him with a delicate look, smiling.
Uncle Wen was stunned: "Why is Zhu'er here?" ”
"Green Tao, bring the three-yuan soup." Wen Qingzhu beckoned.
Green Tao stepped forward with a plate and put it next to Uncle Wen.
Wen Qingzhu stepped forward and opened the lid of the porcelain cup, and a unique fragrance suddenly overflowed.
When Uncle Wen smelled this, he was immediately stunned.
Memories are pouring in front of you like flowing water.
Wen Qingzhu was very satisfied with his reaction, but he couldn't let him think deeply, and opened his mouth to remind: "Father? Drink it early, otherwise it won't taste good if it's cold. ”
Uncle Wen came back to his senses and looked at Wen Qingzhu in front of him, who looked like the Lu family, and his mood was a little complicated.
After a while, he nodded and said, "Hmm." ”
Take the soup bowl and the temperature is suitable.
But in just a few seconds, Uncle Wen drank it all.
After putting down the soup bowl, Uncle Wen asked, "Is this a three-yuan soup?" ”
Wen Qingzhu picked up the tray, handed it to the green pottery, and then replied: "Yes, this is what my mother taught me, I didn't pay attention to it before, and I didn't want to study seriously." A few days ago, I found this recipe, so I studied it seriously and gave it to my father to taste. ”
"Zhu'er has a heart." Uncle Wen smiled rarely.
After chatting with Uncle Wen for a while, Wen Qingzhu retreated.
When Wen Qingzhu left, the study was quiet again.
I don't know why, Uncle Wen found that he had a feeling of loss.
Is it because you drank Sanyuan soup?
Sanyuan soup was a tonic soup specially prepared for him by the Lu family, and he has never drunk it since Lu died.
When he drank it today, he missed it very much.
Leaving Uncle Wen's side, Wen Qingzhu stopped by to see Wen Mingxuan.
As soon as I entered the house, I heard someone talking inside.
"Thirteenth brother, come to sleep with me in the future, otherwise the fifth brother will find ways to embarrass you."
Wen Qingzhu lifted the curtain and went in, looked at them and said, "Who wants to be embarrassed?" ”
"Seventh Sister!"
"Sister!"
Wen Mingqi and Wen Mingxuan stood up at the same time.
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and found that Wen Mingqi's eyes were red.
She walked over, touched Wen Mingqi's head, and asked, "Did something happen?" ”
Wen Mingxuan looked at Wen Mingqi: "Can I tell Sister A?" ”
"Yes." Wen Mingqi's voice was a little hoarse.
After getting the agreement, Wen Mingxuan explained: "That's the case, isn't the fifth brother living with the thirteenth brother?" In the past few days, the thirteenth brother's homework, textbooks, and some books have disappeared one after another, for which the thirteenth brother was also punished by the teacher, and today he found out that the fifth brother sent someone to steal it, tear it up and throw it in the well. ”
Why did Wen Mingwei suddenly target Wen Mingqi so much?
Is it because of the real aunt?
"Shuqi, you stay here in Mingxuan for the past few days, and the seventh sister will help you check." Wen Qingzhu touched Wen Mingqi's head, and he probably had a direction in his heart.
"Thank you Seventh Sister, it's just that recently my mother said that Seventh Sister had better not go to our Willow Garden, grandmother, she doesn't like you to go to Willow Garden." Wen Mingqi was worried about Wen Qingzhu again.
