Chapter 50: The Third Lady of the Lei Family

"Thank you Master Fu for your help." Wen Qingzhu is sincerely grateful to him.

If Jiang Yuancheng came to Yanyuan, he insisted on seeing her.

She really couldn't refuse.

"Miss Seven, you don't have to be polite, I only got the news this morning, and Wu Shan also temporarily decided to attend the birthday banquet, and now he has arrived at the Wen family." Fu Lie looked at Wen Qingzhu, his eyes becoming more and more gentle.

Wen Qingzhu nodded, the fifth prince is here, Wu Shan, a person who tends to be inflammatory, why didn't he come back to join in the fun.

Then she checked his pulse and made sure that there was no big problem, and then she was relieved.

After chatting with him for a while, Wen Qingzhu was ready to leave.

Fu Lie subconsciously said, "Wait! ”

Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and looked at him: "Do you have anything to ask?" ”

Fu Lie's face was very entangled.

A few days ago, he learned that Wen Qingzhu and the fourth son of the Lei family had a marriage contract.

"Just say that if there is anything I can do to help you, I will try to help you." Wen Qingzhu thought he was in some difficulty.

Looking at her cut pupils like autumn water, Fu Lie couldn't help it: "It's okay, Miss Seven should go and get busy." ”

Wen Qingzhu wanted to ask more, but Lu Tao reminded: "Miss, it's about to be a banquet." ”

"Hmm."

Wen Qingzhu said goodbye to Fu Lie and turned to leave.

Fu Lie looked at her back, his gaze became deeper and deeper, and he couldn't help but clench his fists.

Dongzi beside him doesn't know his master's thoughts.

"Master, you tried your best to sneak into the Wen family, don't you ask Miss Seven in person? After all, her marriage contract with Lei Sigongzi has not yet been counted. ”

Closing his eyes, Fu Lie shook his head and said, "Compared to me, Lei Sicai is more suitable for her." ”

"But-" Looking at the master's forbearance, Dongzi felt distressed.

Soon after returning to Yanyuan, someone came to invite them over.

The banquet of the men's guests was placed in the Wanjin Garden next to the Ziming Hall.

The banquet of the ladies is the hundred gardens next to the Wanjin Garden.

Since it was the old lady's birthday banquet, she went to Wanjinyuan first, and the younger generations congratulated her on her birthday one by one.

When she returned to Baihuayuan, Old Madam Wen's smile was a little vain.

Sitting at the main banquet, Mrs. Wen glanced at it and asked Mama Du beside her, "What about the fourth lady and Xin'er?" ”

Mama Du replied in a low voice: "The fourth lady said that she has something to do temporarily, and she will come over later." ”

Old Madam Wen was a little speechless on her face.

The eldest lady next to her hurriedly said: "Mother, my daughter-in-law will invite my younger siblings here, don't worry, she will come over on time when the banquet is held." ”

Today is a day of great joy.

All the people in the second room made a rare appearance.

Aunt Wu's mother and daughter and Aunt Yue's mother and daughter in Yanyuan also arranged seating.

Wen Qingzhu sat at the old lady's table, and she squinted at the seat next to her.

Only Aunt Yue's mother and daughter were in the third room, and Aunt Wu's mother and daughter were nowhere to be seen.

Thinking that the Yang family had captured Wen Qinglan, I was afraid that Aunt Wu was now fighting with the Yang family.

After waiting for a while, Dong Ling, who was beside the eldest lady, trotted back and whispered a few words in the eldest lady's ear.

The eldest lady frowned, as if she was hesitating.

In the end, she got up, said a word to Mrs. Wen, and left with Dongling and Mama Lu.

Two quarters of an hour later, the eldest lady returned with the fourth lady mother and daughter, as well as Aunt Wu's mother and daughter.

When Wen Qinglan passed behind her, Wen Qingzhu obviously noticed that there was too much white fat powder on Wen Qinglan's face, which seemed to be hiding something.

The time for birthday greetings has arrived, starting from the eldest lady Wan, and presenting gifts to the old lady one by one.

The eldest lady Wan gave a jade Guanyin.

Recently, Mrs. Wen began to worship the Buddha, and this gift was very much in line with her heart.

Then the second lady He sent a pair of luminous cups.

Wen Qingzhu looked at it carefully, it was indeed a good thing, and it should have cost a lot of money.

But Old Madam Wen's expression was very light, and she waved her hand and directly asked her to be subordinate.

Lu has passed away, so let's skip it for the time being.

The fourth lady, Yang, sent a pot of red jade coral, which was crystal clear.

Yang personally unveiled the silk cloth, the shape was exquisite, and the texture was shiny, which made everyone's eyes shine.

"Good, good!" Old Madam Wen liked this red jade very much, not to mention that there was a pot of coral made of red jade in front of her, and she couldn't help but say three good words in a row.

Yang deliberately squinted at Wan, and curtched back: "Mother likes it." ”

Then there are gifts from the granddaughters.

The eldest lady Wen Qingruo has been married far away, but she still asked someone to send a pair of pigeon-egg-sized Nanhai Dongzhu.

Dongzhu is not rare, but such a large Dongzhu is still rare.

Old Madam Wen nodded, expressing her satisfaction.

Sixth Miss Wen Qingfang gave a picture of Master Zhang Qian's crane.

Mrs. Wen was a little surprised, although this painting was not as good as the cliff orchid picture last time, but the crane picture was also rare.

What's more, today is her birthday, and the crane means longevity.

Old Madam Wen was very satisfied: "Fang'er has a heart. ”

Then there is Wen Qingzhu, and she has already delivered the previous screen.

Now she presents a picture of a hundred flowers, which looks very ordinary at first glance.

Wen Qingzhu found that Mrs. Wen frowned, and she explained: "Grandmother, Mr. Zhuang's calligraphy is famous all over the world, and everyone knows it, but few people know that he is also good at painting, and this picture of a hundred flowers is from Mr. Zhuang's hand. ”

Mrs. Wen is not particularly good at piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her background is low.

She didn't say yes, she didn't say bad, she just looked at Wen Qingzhu quietly.

Just when the atmosphere fell into an embarrassing situation, Old Lady Wan, who was beside Old Lady Wen, spoke: "Can you let the old man take a look?" ”

Everyone was stunned and looked at Mrs. Wan in unison.

Mrs. Wan smiled and explained: "It's not a secret, Mr. Zhuang's paintings are even rarer than his calligraphy, just unfortunately, our Wan family sent a picture of Mr. Zhuang to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince a few days ago, but I didn't expect to meet his hundred flowers today, which really made the old man curious." ”

Wen Qingzhu saw that her grandmother nodded, so she asked Jasmine to send the picture of a hundred flowers to Mrs. Wan.

After taking a closer look, Mrs. Wan nodded, and said to Mrs. Wen with some envy: "My family is so blessed, I actually got a picture of Mr. Zhuang's hundred flowers." This picture of flowers is better than the meaning of the picture. ”

"This is all the filial piety of the seven girls." When Mrs. Wen saw that Mrs. Wan was envious, she was immediately in a good mood.

Miss Eleven Wen Qingxin gave a Wanbao vase.

Mrs. Wen doesn't understand piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she still has some eye for famous porcelain kilns.

This vase looks very ordinary, but on the vase, some auspicious words such as Fulu Suxi and Xianshou Yongchang form a chrysanthemum picture with very small characters.

"Xin'er has a heart." Mrs. Wen was also quite satisfied.

When the concubines finished giving their birthday gifts, it was the turn of the Wen family's concubines to give gifts.

The third lady, Wen Qinglian, gave a set of clothes embroidered by herself.

Wen Qingzhu looked at it, the embroidery was excellent.

It's a pity that Old Madam Wen can't look at it.

Eighth Miss Wen Qinghe gave a pair of emerald hairpins.

Others may not understand, but Wen Qingfang and Wen Qingxin know.

Three months ago, Mrs. Wen broke an emerald hairpin that she particularly liked.

Now that Wen Qinghe has sent it, the gift is not expensive, but it is very satisfactory.

Old Madam Wen had a faint smile on her face, and nodded at Wen Qinghe.

It was the turn of the fourth young lady Wen Qinglan, she got up in person, walked to Mrs. Wen's table, and said in a low voice: "Grandmother, Lan'er doesn't have a few sisters who are dexterous, and a few days ago, she just learned some acrobatics. ”

Old Madam Wen didn't know what kind of medicine she was selling in her gourd, so she only motioned for her to continue.

Wen Qinglan swept away her frustration, stood up straight, pointed to the row of pine trees not far in front of her and said, "Grandmother, please look, today is your birthday banquet, Lan'er invited the Rainbow Fairy for you." ”

As soon as her words fell, a layer of mist rose in front of the row of pine trees.

Immediately after, an arched rainbow appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

This scene attracted many female relatives who came to the banquet, and many people exclaimed.

Now that the sky is sunny and the winter is still rainy, there will be a rainbow!

Old Madam Wen's face was full of surprise, and looking at the guests' reactions, she suddenly felt that her face was very bright.

"Lan'er is clever, loose smoke, and sit down for the fourth lady." Old Madam Wen was in a better mood now, and directly ordered Songyan to add a seat at the main banquet.

The seats at the main banquet were almost full.

If you want to add a location, you can only go to the house next to Wen Qingxin.

She came late before, and the place left for her was relatively large.

Soon Songyan ordered the little maid to move a stool over.

Wen Qingxin was naturally a hundred unwilling, she waited for Wen Qinglan fiercely, eager to tear her apart.

It's a pity that Wen Qinglan was still smiling, walked to Wen Qingxin's side, curtsied, and said, "Eleventh sister, I have wronged you." ”

Wen Qingxin couldn't be stimulated the most: "You-"

Before she finished speaking, Yang hurriedly grabbed her.

With this unique gift, Wen Qinglan successfully won the position of the main seat for her.

Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but look at Wen Qinglan twice.

Artificial rainbows are not very difficult, and there were concubines in the palace before who attracted the emperor's attention through this method.

Unexpectedly, Wen Qinglan found a way to give it to the old lady as a birthday gift.

Wen Qingzhu lowered his head and smiled, it seemed that Wen Qinglan's uncle had sent them a good gift.

Finally, Wen Qingmei's birthday gift, a parrot that can only speak and sing.

Her gift was originally a coincidence, but unfortunately with Wen Qinglan Zhuyu in front of her, this parrot was also overshadowed.

Wen Qingmei was unwilling, but she had no choice.

Aunt Yue quietly grabbed Wen Qingxin's hand and signaled her to be calm.

Now the situation is a bit complicated.

Wen Qinglan alone suppressed the limelight of all Miss Wen Jiayan, not to mention whether Wen Qingzhu would forget it.

Wen Qingfang and Wen Qingxin would never be so kind.

Then came the birthday gifts of Mrs. Wan and other foreign guests.

Their gifts were just ordinary gifts, and Mrs. Wen smiled and accepted them one by one.

It wasn't until a lady gave a pair of rare Bai Ruyi that Old Lady Wen stopped and looked at it twice.

She looked at the young lady in front of her, she had never seen such a strange face!

Just when Mrs. Wen was puzzled.

The young lady in front of her saluted with a smile and said, "Old lady, I am the third lady of the Lei family, I heard about the old lady's birthday banquet today, and I came here to give a congratulatory gift." ”
