The next day, the entire Wen family was calm.

Wen Qingzhu sat in the front hall and continued to embroider the screen.

Green Tao stood aside, arranging the silk threads for her.

The sun was just right outside, but the weather was getting colder, and the house was a little unwarm.

"Miss, why are you embroidering screens? The old lady's birthday banquet, you have such a big screen, it's not good to send it over on the spot. ”

"The pale pink thread came to me." Wen Qingzhu smiled and pointed to the coil of thread in the middle.

Green Tao hurriedly took it out to her, still puzzled: "This old lady has never liked the third master-"

Before he finished speaking, Wen Qingzhu raised his index finger and put it in front of his lips: "Shhhh......hh

Realizing that he had said the wrong thing, Green Tao quickly covered his mouth.

Wen Qingzhu instructed: "In the future, you can't talk nonsense, and you can't say anything if you see through it." ”

Green Tao nodded hurriedly and continued to bury his head in sorting out the silk threads.

Picking a thicker silver needle, Wen Qingzhu lifted it up and began to thread it.

Reflecting the sunlight, her eyes narrowed, and the pale pink thread pierced through.

After threading, Wen Qingzhu lowered his head, pinched the silver needle with three fingers, and threaded it into the white satin.

"Green pottery."

"Hmm." Green Tao looked up and found that Wen Qingzhu had put down the needle and thread.

Wen Qingzhu got up and said, "You clean up here, someone is coming." ”

"Nope!" The green pottery looked left and right, and didn't find anyone.

Wen Qingzhu pointed out the window, and Lu Tao looked at it and found that Jasmine was walking this way with pine smoke.

After a while, the two of them arrived at the door of the house.

After Songyan entered the door, he saluted with a smile: "Miss Seven." ”

"Sister Songyan is polite, we are all so familiar." Wen Qingzhu held her hand very politely.

This made Songyan very useful, and the smile on his face was a little sincere: "Miss Seven is really amiable, there are many young ladies in the Wen family, but Miss Seven has such a good temperament, and she will definitely live a long life in the future." ”

Good words are loved by everyone, and Wen Qingzhu is no exception: "Thank you Sister Songyan for your words." ”

But she knows better that what she wants, she must fight for herself.

"Sister Songyan is here, but what's the matter?"

Speaking of the topic, Songyan looked at Jasmine and Green Pottery.

Wen Qingzhu nodded, and pulled her to the study: "Sister Songyan is here." ”

The bead curtain was lifted, and the two of them went in one after the other.

Song Yan said cautiously: "Miss Seven, the old lady wants to thoroughly investigate the matter of the last time, and I will invite all the people in the three rooms of you to come over for dinner tonight, you should be careful." ”

"Thank you Sister Songyan for telling me, and Qingzhu has a reluctant request, dare to ask the old lady how well she has been sleeping and eating lately?" Wen Qingzhu asked quietly on his face.

Song Yan was surprised: "Are you worried that the old lady is not in good health?" ”

Wen Qingzhu smiled worriedly: "Yes, the last time I went to see the old lady, I found that her temper was a little irritable, although I didn't care, but the other sisters in the yard were different from me after all." ”

Songyan suddenly understood.

Wen Qinglan and Wen Qingmei's personalities, neither of them is good.

If Wen Qingzhu is affected because of this, the gains outweigh the losses.

Then, Songyan told Wen Qingzhu about the old lady's diet, sleep time, and usual activities.

After Wen Qingzhu thanked her, he took off the white jade bracelet in his hand and handed it to her: "Sister Songyan, don't dislike it, although this is not as good as last time, but the white jade raises people, and after a long time, it is good for the body." ”

Song Yan took it and said with a satisfied smile: "Where is Miss Seven, this bracelet slave likes it tightly." ”

After sending off Songyan, Wen Qingzhu turned back into the house.

"Green Tao, call the peony."

After a while, Green Tao came in with a peony.

Wen Qingzhu called her to the table and asked her to sit down.

"I have a recipe for a sachet here, I'll say, you can write it, then prepare it, and send it to me in the afternoon."

"Miss, say it." Peony held a brush and listened attentively.

A quarter of an hour later, Wen Qingzhu finished speaking, and the peony was also finished, and left with the prescription.

Green Tao stood beside him and wondered: "At this time, with the sachet, is it for the old lady?" ”

"Naturally, the old lady has been in poor health recently, so she has to make good adjustments." Wen Qingzhu said with a smile, his eyes becoming darker and darker.

In the middle of the afternoon, Aunt Yue brought Wen Qingmei to visit.

Jasmine welcomed them into the house, and Wen Qingzhu ordered the green pottery to serve tea.

"Miss Seven is polite, I took the liberty to visit this time, and I ask Miss Seven to forgive me." Aunt Yue stood up slightly, apologizing.

Wen Qingzhu smiled kindly: "Where my aunt is, it's all a family, and it's normal to see each other." ”

Aunt Yue thought that before, Songyan came to the East Courtyard first, and then went to the West Courtyard.

It seems that Wen Qingzhu and Songyan have a good relationship, so at tonight's dinner, Wen Qingzhu must know something.

Thinking of this, Aunt Yue raised her hand, and Ruyun behind her handed over a brocade box.

When opened, inside were a pair of coral-colored agate earrings.

"Miss Seven, last time Qingmei was ignorant, the concubine is here to make amends for you." Aunt Wu got up and bowed her head to apologize.

Before Wen Qingzhu could speak, Wen Qingmei also got up and bowed her head to apologize.

"Seventh sister, it was Qingmei who was rude last time, I hope you don't remember the villain, forgive Qingmei, Qingmei will definitely not be so reckless in the future."

"Auntie, sister, hurry up, what are you doing, Qingmei was right last time, I was worried about annoying my grandmother, so I refused."

Wen Qingzhu hurriedly helped them up.

After the three of them sat down again, Wen Qingzhu continued: "There is no need to mention what happened last time. ”

Aunt Yue's temptation was fruitless, she couldn't see Wen Qingzhu's joy and anger, and she hesitated in her heart.

What to do?

At this moment, Wen Qingmei said softly: "Seventh sister, this time my grandmother summoned me, Qingmei was a little scared, can I not go?" ”

Wen Qingzhu looked at her meaningfully and said with a smile: "Sister Qingmei wanted to see her grandmother more last time, and this time she just had the opportunity, so you can take advantage of it." ”

When Aunt Yue heard this, she sensed what Wen Qingzhu meant.

It's none of their business to listen to Qin Xuan!

She then asked, "What do you have to prepare for the concubine to go to the old lady's side?" I hope Miss Seven will mention it, after all, the concubine is different from Aunt Wu, the concubine is the first time to see the old lady as a housekeeper, and she is afraid of being picked on by the old lady, and the concubine really doesn't know who to ask? ”

At the end, Aunt Yue sighed deeply.

Wen Qingzhu smiled and hinted: "Aunt Yue, don't worry, the old lady has never liked to meddle in the family affairs of each room, not to mention the affairs of our third room, this time, I am afraid that it is something else." ”

Speaking of which, Aunt Yue doesn't understand.

She couldn't help but glance in the direction of the west courtyard.

When he turned around, he found that Wen Qingzhu was nodding with a light smile.

Aunt Yue was relieved and began to chat with her.

After chatting for about two quarters of an hour, Aunt Yue left with Wen Qingmei.

When they left the door of the east courtyard, a mother-in-law immediately quietly turned around and rushed to the west courtyard.

In the west courtyard house, Aunt Wu listened to the report of Lu Yu, and her face was gloomy as water.

Wen Qinglan, who was standing in front of her, was anxious, and said to herself: "It won't be my grandmother who wants to assign me my mother-in-law!" I don't want to be like Wen Qinglian! ”

Thinking of her marriage, Wen Qinglan turned around and sat down in front of Aunt Wu, took her hand and said, "Mother! I don't want to marry casually! Please help me figure it out! ”

Aunt Wu is now upset, and Wen Qinglan is still whispering in her ears.

One didn't hold back, she slapped the table and said angrily: "You give me a stop meeting!" ”

Wen Qinglan was stunned, her aunt had never been so angry before.

My heart became more and more aggrieved, and tears piled up in my eyes, and I wanted to cry.

Seeing her baby daughter like this, Aunt Wu couldn't help but feel distressed again, and took her hand and comforted: "Don't worry, this time I went to my grandmother's, it wasn't your marriage about you." ”

"Then why did Grandmother invite us all over?" Wen Qinglan wiped her tears, and her heart was puzzled.

Aunt Wu's brows furrowed, and she said in a deep voice: "I'm afraid that the matter between Wen Qingxin and Wen Mingliang last time was exposed." ”

Wen Qinglan was shocked: "How could it be!" We didn't do it ourselves! ”

"The one who listened to Qin Xuan just now left the East Courtyard so quickly, I don't think it's the housekeeper's problem, and it's not that the one in the East Courtyard has committed anything, so it can only be for our West Courtyard."

Aunt Wu suddenly raised her head, stared at Lu Yu and asked, "Last time you went to see Bizhu, were you sure you weren't discovered?" ”

Lu Yu was so frightened that she hurriedly knelt down and swore repeatedly: "The slave and maid guarantee with the lives of the whole family that the slave and maid have not met anyone!" ”

"It's not just those people in the East Courtyard, have you ever met the people in the big room and the fourth room?" Aunt Wu always felt that this incident was strange.

Lu Yu thought about it carefully, and suddenly she thought of the day when she ran into a plain girl when she went out.

"Auntie, the slave has met Su Xin'......"

In the evening, everyone was ready and met at the gate of Yanyuan.

Wen Qingzhu glanced around and found that everyone's faces were calm and there was nothing unusual.

Aunt Yue's mother and daughter are fine, after all, it's none of their business.

But today's meal was specially invited by the old lady to Aunt Wu's mother and daughter.

They were so calm.

Mama Du in front of her saw that everyone had arrived, so she opened her mouth to remind: "Miss Seven, ladies and sisters, it's time to go." "Yes."

Everyone responded in unison and followed Mama Du to Fushoutang.

When they arrived at Fushou Hall, the old lady sat on the main seat, looking down on the people in their third room.

"Granddaughter greets grandmother."

"The concubine greets the old lady."

The masters of the third room knelt down and kowtowed together, and respectfully greeted the old lady.

The old lady lifted her eyelids, glanced at them lightly, and said softly, "Get up." ”

Everyone got up and sat down in turn under the arrangement of Ziyan and Songyan.

This time, Wen Qingzhu sat at the front, Aunt Yue's mother and daughter followed, and Aunt Wu's mother and daughter Luo were at the end.

The maid and lady present saw it in their eyes, and couldn't help but guess in their hearts why the old lady suddenly changed her position.

In the past, Aunt Wu's mother and daughter sat at the front, Aunt Yue's mother and daughter almost didn't appear, and Wen Qingzhu was not taken seriously at all.

Everyone turned back and forth in their hearts, speculating about the status of each master of the third room in the future.

"Seven girls, I heard that you have been very close to the eight girls in the second room recently?"

The old lady opened her eyes slightly, her eyes were like torches, and she looked straight at Wen Qingzhu, her eyes full of suspicion.
