Chapter 39 Spending money to buy people's hearts
At night, Wen Qingzhu tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
Green Tao heard a noise outside, and quietly got up and walked outside the screen.
"Miss, are you still thinking about the words of the third master?"
"Hmm."
Wen Qingzhu simply sat up, lifted the quilt, put on a white fox fur, and instructed Lu Tao: "Light the lamp and go find out your mother's codex." ”
"Yes." Green Tao turned to light the lamp.
After a while, the room was lit up.
Wen Qingzhu sat on the small couch, and the green pottery took a yellowed codex.
After looking through it for half an hour, Wen Qingzhu unexpectedly found that what Uncle Wen said was true.
Raising his head in a daze, Wen Qingzhu muttered to himself, "How could my mother know Third Lady Lei?" Impossible......"
"Miss?" Green Tao shouted at her worriedly.
Wen Qingzhu came back to his senses, looked at Lu Tao and said, "Quick, go and call Mother Ye, I have something to tell her." ”
Half an hour later, Mother Ye put on her clothes and entered the house, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”
Wen Qingzhu said solemnly: "Mother Ye, have you heard of the third lady of the Lei family?" Is the mother and her close friends? ”
"The third lady of the Lei family?" Mother Ye pondered intently.
After a while, she suddenly exclaimed: "The third lady of the Lei family is surnamed Ruan? ”
She didn't know what Mrs. Lei's surname was, but Ye's mother's reaction, her mother did have a close friend.
After being silent for a long time, Wen Qingzhu propped his forehead and said, "It's okay, you go down to rest first, I'm going to see Fu Gongzi tomorrow night." ”
Mother Ye looked at her, and finally decided not to ask more.
In the early morning, Wen Qingzhu had already gotten up, and Lu Tao groomed her.
Jasmine said outside the door: "Miss, the second lady and the eighth lady ask to see you." ”
"You tell them to wait a moment, and I'll come out right away."
Wen Qingzhu looked at himself in the bronze mirror, obviously he couldn't get cardamom, but his eyes were already like an old woman, and there were no waves in the ancient well.
After finishing the makeup, I went to the front room.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu coming, He and Wen Qinghe hurriedly got up.
"Miss Seven."
"Seventh Sister."
"You're welcome, sit down." Wen Qingzhu raised his hand and fell into the main position himself.
After the two sides sat down, He Shi's face was full of gratitude: "Thank you Miss Seven for your help the day before yesterday, otherwise Shuqi would only be afraid of a big disaster." ”
Wen Qingzhu replied with a smile: "Second Uncle Niang is not welcome, this is what Xiao Qi should do, Shuqi is a good child." ”
He knew in his heart that Wen Qingzhu was very good to her Shuqi and Qinghe.
But this time was different, and the Wen family was angry.
After thinking for a while, He asked, "I heard that Miss Seven is prescribing medicine for the mother who is in charge of the field?" But there is something to ask for the field manager? ”
Wen Qingzhu was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Can the second uncle talk to Steward Tian?" ”
He nodded slightly: "The words are still reasonable, Mama Bao's granddaughter is the nephew and daughter-in-law of Steward Tian, but they are not in the house, and they have also helped Steward Tian twice before, if Miss Seven needs any help, you can say come and listen." ”
"Really? It just so happens that I do have something here that I want to ask for steward Tian. Wen Qingzhu was not polite.
Since the He family is here, they must have heard about it.
"Miss Seven, please speak." He should take a bite.
Wen Qingzhu replied: "That's the case, Ming Xuan lived in Ziming Hall before, and there was always a little bit of treachery and evil slaves in his daily use, so I would like to ask Steward Tian to help me watch a little." ”
After listening to her words, He Shi's heart was relieved, and said: "This is simple, I will bring a letter to Steward Tian today, he is also on the side of Zimingtang, and he is still a person next to the third master, he will definitely be willing." ”
"Thank you, second aunt." Wen Qingzhu was really grateful in his heart, and got up to thank him.
He Shi hurriedly got up and helped her up: "Miss Seven, this is what I should do." ”
Wen Qingzhu looked sideways at the green pottery.
Green Tao nodded, and turned to go into the back room.
In less than a quarter of an hour, the green pottery returned, holding a tray in his hand.
The tray was covered with white silk and placed a pair of agate earrings, a pair of mutton fat jade pendants, and six small gold bats.
"Second uncle, this is a thank you gift." Wen Qingzhu asked the green pottery to be delivered.
He hurriedly excused himself: "I should have helped Miss Seven, how could I ask for Miss Seven's things!" ”
Wen Qingzhu grabbed her hand and said with a serious expression: "The second aunt can help, this has already used the favor of the uncle, Xiao Qi is very grateful, after all, I want to ask the Tian steward to help, and I can't let the uncle break the bank!" ”
He still felt that this was inappropriate: "But Miss Seven has helped so much-"
Wen Qingzhu deliberately frowned and interrupted He: "Second uncle! ”
Seeing that the two of them were resigning each other, Wen Qinghe took the opportunity to rush and said, "Seventh sister, Qinghe brought you lotus cake, do you want to try it?" ”
"Okay." Wen Qingzhu immediately turned around and walked to Wen Qinghe's side.
Looking at the two who got along harmoniously, He was relieved and worried.
At this moment, the green Tao beside her reminded: "Second lady, the slave maid wrapped these things for you?" ”
"Hmm." Ho eventually relented.
When they left, Wen Qingzhu sent someone to inform the stewards from all over Yanyuan to come over.
Half an hour later, only three of the eight stewards came.
Wen Qingzhu was not surprised, when Aunt Yue first started to take care of the house, there was only one housekeeper in total.
Today, three stewards came, and they already gave her a lot of face.
"You should first report the situation everywhere, and if you have any problems, just say it." There was nothing dislike on Wen Qingzhu's face.
The three stewards looked at each other, wondering in their hearts, why didn't these seven young ladies ask about the accounts?
A moment later, the kitchen steward was the first to report.
Immediately afterwards, the remaining two also reported their respective management.
Wen Qingzhu nodded, and then instructed the green pottery: "Reward." ”
Green Tao walked in front of the stewards, opened the purse, and one of them rewarded a gold coin of five taels.
The three housekeepers were shocked, they didn't do anything, and Wen Qingzhu gave such a heavy reward.
The three of them looked at each other again, and finally thanked each other nervously.
"Well, you can go down, when I'm not there, you can find Mother Ye." Wen Qingzhu didn't ask much.
"The slave obeys." The three housekeepers bowed their heads in unison.
After leaving the East Courtyard, Mother Luo in the kitchen asked the other two, "Do you know what this Seventh Miss means?" ”
Both shook their heads at the same time.
The three fell silent, their minds divergent, and they separated in the front yard.
In the east courtyard house, Lu Tao asked puzzledly: "Miss, they haven't done anything, why do they want to reward them, and reward so much silver?" ”
Wen Qingzhu smiled and looked at Mother Ye next to her, she was counting the accounts.
"This is buying people's hearts, believe it or not, next time, there will be at least six stewards who come."
"But what is the use of the hearts of people bought with money!" Green Tao thought that she had tried very hard to understand, but she still didn't understand Wen Qingzhu's approach.
At this time, Mother Ye raised her head and explained: "Silly girl, money can make ghosts grind, even if it is a human heart bought with silver, as long as they do things for you, it will be worth it, as for what kind of thing to do, it depends on how much it is worth." ”
"Is that okay?" Green pottery seems to have come to an understanding.
Mother Ye smiled: "You still have to learn in the future, many things don't have to be done by loyal people, most things are trivial, just spend money to do it well." ”
"Probably understood." Green Tao touched his chin and thought seriously.
At night, Wen Qingzhu changed his clothes, put on a cloak, took a power li, and brought green pottery and quietly left Yanyuan.
All the way to the small courtyard in the northwest corner, they had just gotten out of the courtyard wall when they saw a carriage.
In front of the carriage stood a familiar figure.
He was dressed in a tight martial artist, with a long figure, pulling out a long shadow in the moonlight.
Half of his face was buried in the shadows, and he couldn't see clearly.
Looking at the comer, in a trance, Wen Qingzhu seemed to see the night he became a general.
She couldn't help but mutter, "General......"
Fu Lie's ear power was extremely good, and he immediately stepped forward and asked, "Miss Seven?" ”
Hearing his voice, Wen Qingzhu came back to his senses.
I saw her take off the power, and in front of Fu Lie's eyes, a little face as bright as the morning sun suddenly appeared.
"Fu Gongzi." Her voice is like a mountain stream, babbling and pleasant.
Fu Lie took a deep breath, tried his best to restrain the strangeness in his heart, and turned sideways and asked, "Miss Seven." ”
Wen Qingzhu nodded, and got into the carriage with the help of green pottery.
Then, Lu Tao and Fu Lie came up one after the other.
Fu Lie sat opposite Wen Qingzhu, and when he raised his eyes, the two looked at each other.
Wen Qingzhu smiled slightly, Fu Lie sat upright, his cheeks were hot, and he couldn't help but look sideways slightly, avoiding her gaze.
Seeing this, the smile on Wen Qingzhu's lips deepened.
She really didn't expect Fu Lie to have such an innocent side.
Fu Lie in his previous life, no matter when, was always a calm and self-contained face, with very few expressions.
"Fu Gongzi?"
"Hmm." Fu Lie still didn't dare to look at her, but Wen Qingzhu's appearance kept appearing in front of him.
Tonight's Wen Qingzhu seems to be particularly exciting.
"Last time, it was Qingzhu who missed, are you okay?"
"No problem." Fu Lie's words were always concise and to the point.
Wen Qingzhu sighed slightly.
Hearing her sigh, Fu Lie immediately looked over: "What's wrong?" ”
Wen Qingzhu subconsciously said: "Fu Gongzi doesn't look at me, am I unbearable?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Wen Qingzhu himself was stunned.
Fu Lie was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head: "No, no!" Miss Seven is immortal, and she doesn't dare to look at it more. ”
Wen Qingzhu pursed her lips and smiled, this was the first time she had heard Fu Lie praise him for his good looks.
After a moment of silence, Wen Qingzhu cut directly to the point: "Master Fu, I came to you this time, because Qingzhu had something to ask for." ”
"Miss Seven, please speak." Fu Lie raised his hand slightly.
Wen Qingzhu pondered for a moment, and then said: "There is an article criticizing Your Majesty in my family, I suspect that someone deliberately sent it in, I want to ask Fu Gongzi to help check it, has the Wen family offended anyone recently?" ”
"Are the Wen family offended?" Fu Lie pondered.
After a while, he looked up and replied, "Master Wen has been looking for a way to be promoted recently, and he seems to be very close to the fifth prince. ”
Hearing the name of the fifth prince, Wen Qingzhu instantly twisted his eyebrows and asked, "The fifth prince and the Wen family are still in contact?" ”
Didn't Mr. Zhuang's handwriting last time make Jiang Yuancheng lose face once?
Why is Jiang Yuancheng still dealing with the Wen family, he won't covet the silver of the fourth room, right?
After a long time, Fu Lie asked out loud: "Miss Seven knows the Fifth Prince?" ”
