As soon as these words came out, Liu looked at Aunt Ding uncertainly.

Mama Du whispered a few words in her ear, and Liu took Aunt Ding to the inner room.

Half an hour later, Liu returned.

However, Aunt Ding did not come back, but only said to them: "Aunt Ding is sick and needs to rest, so she has sent someone back to Liuyuan." ”

He could only listen, and did not dare to say a word.

Until the thirtieth of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Aunt Ding never appeared.

Wen Guanbin didn't ask.

On the night of the New Year's vigil, Wen Qingzhu couldn't sleep.

The house was brightly lit inside and outside, and she got up with her clothes on and walked to the window.

Green Tao came in to add to the fire and found that Wen Qingzhu had not slept.

"Miss, you better sleep for a while, I'm going to pay New Year's greetings to the old lady tomorrow morning."

Wen Qingzhu didn't look back, and said quietly: "I really can't sleep, so I get up and stand up." ”

Green Tao didn't say much, and after adding fire, he told Xi'er to go to the kitchen to get a stew.

I didn't sleep all night, and before it was dawn, the yard was busy.

Wen Qingzhu sat in front of the dressing mirror, and Mother Ye made her up by herself.

Lu Tao put his hand on the side, looked at Wen Qingzhu's face and said, "Miss is so good-looking, she is the best-looking person the slave has ever seen." ”

"I'll shoot Miss's ass now, but there are no red envelopes!" Mother Ye deliberately teased her, and the movements in her hands were still smooth.

Wen Qingzhu looked at himself in the mirror and smiled faintly.

Her appearance is indeed good, but compared to Pei Zhixuan, the first beauty in the capital, she is still a few points worse.

Thinking of Pei Zhixuan, Wen Qingzhu thought of Jiang Yuancheng.

This year is the thirtieth year of Shunde, and Empress Zheng died early, will that incident still happen?

After finishing the makeup, Wen Qingzhu took the green pottery to the Golden Song Pavilion to wait for Wen Shuquan.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the three people from the West Courtyard arrived.

Aunt Wu took the lead in giving her a proper salute.

"Hmm." Wen Qingzhu nodded lightly.

The green pottery beside him had already prepared a silver coin red envelope and sent one to one of them.

Aunt Wu gave a gift of gratitude.

Wen Qinglan also bowed her knees and thanked her in a proper manner.

Seeing this, Wen Qingzhu was slightly surprised.

If it was in the past, Wen Qinglan would never be so obedient, how could she ...... today?

was puzzled, Uncle Wen brought Aunt Yue's mother and daughter in.

Wen Qingzhu immediately got up and greeted Uncle Wen with a salute.

Uncle Wen glanced at everyone: "Since they are all here, let's go to Fushoutang." ”

"Yes." Everyone replied in unison.

In addition to the gate of Yan Yuan, Wen Qingzhu found that the people on the road were in a hurry.

But everyone had a festive smile on their faces.

When he was about to arrive at Fushoutang, Wen Qingzhu suddenly found an incompatible figure.

Not to mention, the clothes he was wearing were black, and his face was covered with frost.

His steps were extremely fast, shuttling through the passing pedestrians, and he entered Fushoutang faster than them.

Wen Qingzhu looked at the courtyard door in front of him, how could that person look so familiar.

When they got inside, they were the first to come.

Not only did I not see Liu, but I also didn't see Wen Guanbin.

Uncle Wen led them to wait quietly.

After a while, people from the large, second and fourth rooms came over one after another.

The room was full of people.

Everyone in the Wen family greeted politely and hypocritically.

Wan Shi first asked Yang: "Fourth brother and sister, are you cured?" ”

Yang looked up, there was no look in his eyes, but he was a lot polite: "It's much better, thank you sister-in-law for your concern." ”

So polite......

Wan was surprised, but she didn't have time to ask more.

Because Wen Guanbin came out with a cold face.

Wen Qingzhu found that Wen Guanbin had changed into court clothes.

"The affairs of the family are presided over by the eldest child, the third child goes to entertain the guests of Zimingtang, the fourth child entertains the guests of Jubaotang, and the second child follows the third child to Zimingtang to help."

As soon as these words came out, everyone had their own thoughts.

Aunt Ding came back this year, and Wen Zhongcong even arranged things.

Wen Guanbin swept the four sons of the Wen family, and said with some displeasure on his face: "What? My words don't work? ”

"Do as my father commands." The four masters of the Wen family hurriedly bowed their heads.

Wen Guanbin glanced at the four of them, threw up his sleeves and left in a hurry.

When he went out, Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and glanced at the door.

The black figure he saw when he came appeared beside Wen Guanbin like a ghost, and followed him out to leave.

Who the hell is this person?

waited until Wen Guanbin left for half an hour, and Liu came out unhurriedly.

Since Aunt Ding came back, Liu's face has not been better.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, the people in each room had a bad time.

Wen Mingxuan kept vigil last night and left Fushou Hall, and Wen Qingzhu sent him back to Zimingtang to rest.

When she arrived at the house in the east courtyard, Lu Tao said to her: "Miss, you didn't eat much for lunch and dinner, so the slave maid went to the kitchen and ordered to make a few side dishes?" ”

"Hmm." Wen Qingzhu hadn't eaten much for a day, and he was indeed a little hungry.

In less than half an hour, Green Tao came back with a puzzled face.

Wen Qingzhu looked at her: "What's wrong?" ”

Green Tao walked up to her and hissed, "Miss, the slave just encountered a strange thing. ”

"Tell me about it."

"Just now the slave maid went to the kitchen, and happened to meet the fourth lady, she actually cooked herself, knowing that the slave maid was instructing the kitchen to cook side dishes, and she also diligently gave up Aunt Wu's bird's nest porridge, why did the fourth lady suddenly change her character?" Green Tao was full of doubts.

Wen Qingzhu pondered for a moment and said, "You go and call the peony, I have something to tell her." ”

……

In the study, after Wen Qingzhu listened to Peony's words, he stopped the pen in his hand at the same time.

"So, Wen Qinglan was taught by them?"

The slave maid felt that it should be, and Xiaocui also told the slave maid that the mother-in-law looked gentle, but Miss Fan Si was a little dissatisfied with her, either standing with her heels or holding a bowl of water and not allowed to move.

"Aunt Wu is not distressed?" Wen Qingzhu felt that this matter was a little strange.

Peony thought back for a moment and said: "When the slave was over there, I just saw the fourth lady contradict the woman, and the fourth lady was punished for standing, by the way, there were two silver needles placed vertically under her heels. ”

"Two silver needles under your heels?!" Wen Qingzhu's expression was solemn, this kind of method was a private means in the palace.

In a family like the Wen family, which is not big or small, there should be no one.

There is something wrong with this mother-in-law.

Peony continued: "When the slave was about to leave, the fourth lady had already stood for a quarter of an hour, and Aunt Wu was so distressed that tears were about to flow out, but she didn't seem to dare to say anything. ”

Wen Qingzhu nodded, she had to find a way to check Wu Shan's side.

What is the origin of this mother-in-law?

To investigate Wu Shan's affairs, Wen Qingzhu subconsciously thought of Fu Lie.

After writing the letter, Wen Qingzhu didn't have time to send the letter out, but Fu Lie's letter arrived first.

When he opened the letter, Wen Qingzhu's heart tightened.

It happened anyway.

On the morning of the second day of the new year, the pine smoke of Fushoutang sent a message.

Master Wen didn't return all night last night.

This incident made everyone in the Wen family worried.

The Liu family didn't care about Aunt Ding anymore, and hurriedly called Wen Bogui and Uncle Wen over.

In the past few days, Liu's anger has been great, and Songyan said in front of the old lady that Wen Qingzhu's incense can calm the nerves.

On the Fushoutang side, let Wen Qingzhu mix incense.

Jasmine stood in the house and waited, Wen Qingzhu sealed the incense and decided to go over with Jasmine to have a look.

When he was about to arrive at the gate of the courtyard of Fushoutang, Wen Qingzhu ran into Wen Qingfang who came over.

The two men looked at each other and smiled and saluted each other.

"Seventh sister came to see grandmother?" Wen Qingfang looked at the things in Jasmine's hand.

Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly: "Yes, my grandmother has not rested well these days, so I asked me to mix incense, thinking that I was free today, so I personally sent it over." ”

"My sister really has a heart." Wen Qingfang praised her meaningfully.

Wen Qingzhu looked behind Wen Qingfang, and the maid was holding the stewed soup.

It seems that he came prepared.

"Isn't the sixth sister going to my grandmother's house to pay New Year's greetings today?" Wen Qingzhu asked without being salty.

Wen Qingfang had already prepared: "My grandfather didn't return overnight, and he always had to care about the affairs of the family first, and it was good for my grandfather's family to have my mother in the past." ”

Wen Qingzhu smiled and didn't speak.

This Wen Qingfang really makes people can't fault a little.

The two entered the house side by side.

When I walked to the door, I happened to hear Liu scolding Wen Bogui: "Your father didn't return overnight, you might as well sleep at home!" What the hell are you doing son! Aren't you working under your father?! Can't you ask someone to ask about the situation! ”

Wen Bogui was also aggrieved in his heart.

Before leaving yesterday, Wen Guanbin told him that there was an accident in the palace and he might not be able to come back in the next few days.

Unexpectedly, Wen Guanbin went out for a day and a night, and no news came.

It's not that he didn't ask someone to ask, but he couldn't find out the news at all.

"Mother, the child has asked someone to inquire about the news, isn't this that he hasn't heard the news yet?" Wen Bogui was also a little scared in his heart.

When Wen Guanbin left, his expression was very serious, and he let him take care of the family.

He thought that nothing would happen at all, but now that Wen Guanbin has not returned, he is also a little panicked.

In a panic, when he saw Wen Shuquan beside him, he immediately asked, "Third brother, aren't you in the capital water prison?" Did you go to find out the news? ”

"That's right, third! What about your side? Liu hurriedly turned his head and asked him.

Uncle Wen replied calmly: "The child is just a casual official, and he has no real job, and he only went to the capital water prison three times last year. ”

Liu patted his head, and then he reacted.

She turned her head and reprimanded Wen Bogui again: "Are you the eldest son or the elder brother, except for the master, you have a real job in the family, why don't you have anything to do!" ”

I don't know if Wen Qingfang couldn't listen anymore, she stood at the door and knocked on the door.

The Liu family in the house immediately stopped, looked at the door, and frowned, "Why are you here?" ”

"Grandmother, Fang'er heard that you haven't had breakfast yet, so you brought plum blossom soup over." Wen Qingfang entered the house generously and walked quickly to Liu.

After instructing the maid to put down the plum blossom soup, she personally filled a bowl and put it in front of Liu: "Grandmother, no matter how urgent things are, you have to eat first, this plum blossom soup is made by Fang'er who gets up early in the morning to pick the freshest plum blossoms, can you taste it?" ”

Seeing that Wen Qingfang was so sensible, Liu's heart was extremely ironed, and he relaxed his face and took it.

Halfway through eating, she looked up at Wen Qingzhu and said, "Why are you here too?" ”

Wen Qingzhu stepped forward with a smile and asked Jasmine to take out the incense: "Grandmother, today my granddaughter specially made a new incense, I don't know if my grandmother likes it or not, so I personally sent it over." ”
