Chapter 358: Don't Rush into the Nobles
Wan's voice was not small, and even the surrounding guests pricked up their ears.
Glancing at the people around him, Wen Qingzhu said with a smile: "What the eldest aunt said is as if my father treats the twelfth sister very harshly, as an elder sister, I just routinely add a little dowry, more or less depending on my personal intentions, but the eldest aunt, the fourth aunt sent Mingliang to add makeup, and the eldest aunt hasn't seen it yet." ”
Wen Qingzhu's voice was also not small, as soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes were wrong when they looked at Wan.
Although they are currently separated, they used to be a family.
The people in the four rooms of the old Wen family gave makeup regardless of their previous suspicions, and as the eldest son, the big house not only did not give makeup, but questioned the origin of the dowry.
Seeing Wan's blue face, Wen Qingzhu was not easy to chase and fight, so he only smiled and said: "It has always been the sixth sister who married to the Huai Wangfu as a side concubine some time ago, the eldest aunt forgot about it, and she will add it to the twelfth sister later, and she will not blame you." ”
Okay, don't mention it, this also mentions Wen Qingfang's matter.
used to be the prince's side concubine, but if she gives birth to a child in the future, she may be able to rely on her son.
But now that the crown prince has been demoted to King Huai, Wen Qingfang is destined to be a concubine, and no matter how good the side concubine is, she is also a concubine!
Wan endured and endured, and finally held back his anger, then he politely said and turned his head away.
Wen Qingzhu shook his head, this Wan clan really likes to be boring to himself.
After eating a few dishes, Wen Qingzhu had no appetite.
Xi'er's figure appeared at the door, and Wen Qingzhu got up and went over with the green pottery.
Xi'er is gone again.
She hurriedly stopped a little girl and asked, "Did you see another maid beside me just now?" ”
The little girl shook her head, and Wen Qingzhu had no choice but to let her go.
After looking around the yard, I still didn't find any trace of Xi'er.
Wen Qingzhu was a little puzzled: "Could it be that something happened to the new house?" ”
"Probably not, since Miss Twelve is married, she must be prepared." Green Tao doesn't think so.
The two of them decided to go next door or so to look for it.
As soon as he crossed a verandah, a man suddenly hurried out of the corner.
Wen Qingzhu retreated, and Green Tao stepped forward to stop him: "Someone!" ”
The man hurriedly raised his head, and Wen Qingzhu's eyes lit up.
It's not-
The man in front of him was dressed as a scholar, and his appearance was clear and elegant, which was exactly Fu Yu's breezy and moon-like appearance, and he was very good-looking.
He hurriedly took a few steps back and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, it's abrupt." ”
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "It's okay, Wanjia is holding a happy event today, seeing that you are in such a hurry and panicked, but what happened at home?" ”
The man was stunned, then raised his head and glanced at Wen Qingzhu.
This glance froze him for a moment.
Wen Qingzhu took the opportunity to look at him and found that a big red tassel was exposed in his sleeve.
The color was familiar to her.
"Why are you staring at my young lady! Miss asked! Seeing this person's rude gaze, Green Tao couldn't help but remind.
The scholar immediately came back to his senses and lowered his head: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I really have an urgent matter at home, so I'll leave first." ”
After the scholar left, Xi'er appeared.
Seeing the direction Wen Qingzhu came from, she hurriedly asked, "Miss, have you met Wanju people?" ”
"Well, what did you just give her?" Wen Qingzhu nodded.
Xi'er looked left and right, and whispered to her: "Miss, Wanju people came to attend the wedding today, and the things they brought were too shabby, and they were being kicked out by the Wan family, and they were seen by Xiao Tao, and Miss Twelve immediately gave the slave maid a bag of silver, and asked the slave maid to give it to Wanju people." ”
"Then how did he get out of here?" Wen Qingzhu looked at this road, which was the road leading to the lobby.
Xi'er explained: "The Wan family received the money, and his face was better, and he chased after the slave and maid to ask who it was, but the slave and maid avoided him, and only then did he appear when he left." ”
"I see." Wen Qingzhu nodded, it seems that there is no smart person in the Wanjia family.
This time, Wen Qingmei did one thing right.
If Wen Qingzhu remembered correctly, Wan Hongyu's old mother also came to the capital, and she will probably die of illness the year after tomorrow.
After the wedding, Wen Qingzhu left Wanjia.
Xi'er then talked about what happened in the new house.
"Miss doesn't know, Wanjia now, except for Young Master Wan, I'm afraid that no one likes Miss Twelve, and after arriving at the new house, the situation is repeated, if Miss Twelve hadn't been prepared, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to wait for Young Master Wan to come back."
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "After all, the eldest aunt is the daughter of the Wan family, and Mrs. Wan and Mrs. Wan are mother-in-law, Mrs. Wan is relieved, and Mrs. Wan naturally dislikes Twelve." Let's see what comes next. ”
In September, Jiang Wuyang and Liang Pingshu returned to Beijing.
Jiang Yue presided over the banquet and brought their mother and daughter to the palace.
On the way, the king of Chu mentioned the matter of hunting, and Concubine Luo added fuel to the fire and asked Jiang Yue to agree to the matter.
This time, Jiang Yue only decided to play for a few days, so he knew that the people in the royal family had passed.
When Wen Qingzhu got the news, he inexplicably thought of Yun Xian's words.
She immediately wrote a letter to Lei Shuo to send it.
Lei Shuo came over that day.
"This time, General Lu and Lu Lei are also with them, if Jiang Yuancheng's target is really the eldest princess and the county lord, then I'm afraid there will be problems with this hunt."
Wen Qingzhu's tone was very heavy, and Qiaoyu's affairs were easy to handle.
Inform me, Wei Feng will deal with it himself.
But the eldest princess and the county lord are all under everyone's noses.
Without a suitable reason, Jiang Yue couldn't be rejected at all.
Wen Qingzhu turned his head and asked Green Tao: "Did Hei Jiren also go over with him?" ”
"Well, let's go over together, Lord Hei is ready to make meritorious service in front of the emperor this time." As soon as Green Tao sorted things out, he guessed Hei Jiren's thoughts.
Lei Shuo heard that they were very familiar with Hei Jiren, and frowned slightly: "Why did you suddenly have a relationship with such a person?" ”
"Sister Shuo, Hei Jiren is certainly hateful, but think about it, if he can help the eldest princess and the county lord this time, do you think we will lose by dealing with him a few times?" Wen Qingzhu patiently persuaded Lei Shuo. All right
"It's not a loss, it's just that he's-"
Wen Qingzhu sighed and interrupted her: "I know what Sister Shuo means, being a man is not black and white, maybe Sister Shuo doesn't agree with my opinion, but I still have to say that if I can help the eldest princess and the county lord, I would be happy to associate with people like Hei Jiren, and it would be no problem to be a friend in terms of interests!" ”
"Qingzhu ......" Lei Shuo didn't know what to say, and finally said, "Okay, I'll go with me this time, and I'll help watch it, but the county lord is different from me, she has an uncle who was almost killed by Hei Jiren, and she will never accept Hei Jiren's kindness." ”
"Then trouble Sister Shuo, if there is any news at that time, I will let Hei Jiren contact you." Wen Qingzhu was actually not at ease.
Jiang Yuancheng is quite deep in the city, she can have a deal with Hei Jiren, maybe he also has a deal with Hei Jiren.
"Sister Shuo, there's one more thing I want to explain......"
This year's autumn came very early, and the matter over there in the paddock could only be handed over to Lei Shuo and Lu Lei.
As for her, she's going to the canal.
Under normal circumstances, Fu Lie would reply to a letter a day.
But yesterday's letter from Fu Lie did not arrive on time.
Taking advantage of the fact that those people in the capital were preparing for hunting, Wen Qingzhu quietly left the capital.
It's just that not long after she left the city, she found out that she was being followed.
Xi'er drove the carriage and asked Wen Qingzhu in the carriage in a low voice: "Miss, what should we do?" ”
"It's okay, continue to L.A."
After a day and a night of carriage driving, Wen Qingzhu finally arrived in Los Angeles.
In Los Angeles before, she already had a house, but this time she lived directly in it.
In view of being followed, Wen Qingzhu did not contact Ning Ping.
After resting for a day and a night, Wen Qingzhu set off again and rushed to the direction of the canal.
After traveling for most of the day, the carriage was about to arrive at the post station.
In front of a dense wood, their carriage was stopped.
A group of men in black with swords in their hands stared at their carriage with unkind faces.
Wen Qingzhu, who was sitting in the car, was leisurely making tea.
Hot water vapor comes out of the cup, the tea leaves tumble, and the tea quickly changes color.
As soon as Wen Qingzhu put down the kettle in his hand, the table suddenly trembled.
A few steps are approaching quickly.
Accompanied by a chilling roar, the sound of killing shook the sky.
Soon, the voices fell silently.
Wen Qingzhu asked, "It's all solved?" ”
"Well, they're already cleaning up the body, and we'll be able to leave in a minute." Xi'er looked at the corpse in front of her, but no blood flowed out, and she felt more and more that she had to learn poison hard.
In less than two quarters of an hour, the carriage started again.
Arrived at the inn before dark.
Yang Dong was already waiting here, and when he saw their carriage stop, he hurriedly stepped forward.
"Miss, you're finally here."
Green Tao lifted the curtain and came down and glanced at him: "Of course it's here, isn't this the time agreed before?" ”
Yang Dong smiled: "Yes, yes, you come down to rest first, and the master can come to pick you up after half an hour." ”
Wen Qingzhu got out of the car, turned his head and followed Yang Dong in.
Upstairs, hot water and hot meals were readily available.
After taking a bath, Wen Qingzhu deliberately changed into bright-colored clothes and waited intently for Fu Lie's arrival.
Seeing that the time was approaching, Fu Lie did not come over, but instead came a group of caravans.
After paying the money to the people at the inn, they went to several warehouses to store their goods.
Green Tao went outside to take a look, and muttered when he came in: "It's really strange, what is transported, it has to be wrapped in oilcloth, it is difficult to melt when it encounters water." ”
"You said their stuff was wrapped in tarpaulin?" Wen Qingzhu raised his head and asked.
Green Tao came over and sat down, nodding: "Yes, the slave maid asked, and they said that it was a newly dug nephrite stone, which could not be opened." ”
"Really?" Wen Qingzhu didn't think it looked like nephrite.
Generally, nephrite jade is carved locally and then released.
"Xi'er, take a look and see if you can get closer." Wen Qingzhu commanded, always feeling that this matter was not so simple.
In less than half an hour, Xi'er returned: "Miss, it seems to be really nephrite, I have seen the crumbs of nephrite." ”
Wen Qingzhu and Lu Tao glanced at each other, and their eyes became solemn.
This is simply three hundred taels of silver here.
Fu Lie didn't come over in the end, and Wen Qingzhu ate in advance by himself.
Underneath the inn, the caravan was also eating.
Yang Dong left first, and then the green pottery also came down.
Soon, though, the green pottery returned.
But in less than a quarter of an hour, Green Tao left again.
I went back and forth four times, and finally I didn't come back.
Some of the people in the caravan were curious, and the people who were familiar with the inn asked, "Which noble man lives on it, and how do his subordinates get in and out?" ”
The official of the post station lazily replied: "General Fu's friend, I was originally waiting for General Fu to come." ”
The official looked at the sky outside: "It's so late, General Fu hasn't come here yet, I'm afraid I won't be able to come tonight, you be careful, don't bump into the nobles!" ”
"Yes, yes, yes! We're just curious. The merchant hurriedly smiled, and took out a handful of broken silver for the official to eat and drink.
As soon as the servant was gone, the merchant turned around and glanced at the people around the table.
They nodded one after another, finished their meals quietly, and went back to their rooms.
Inside the inn, there was a sudden silence.
