When the sky darkened, Wen Qingzhu returned to his former calm and calm appearance, and took Zuo Bingning to Ruyi Tower.

When they arrived at the door, it was the same girl who had received her before, and led them upstairs.

"Lu Ce!" As soon as Zuo Bingning saw the person standing, his face was full of surprise.

Lu Ce slowly turned his head and pointed to the position beside him: "Come in and sit." ”

After going in and sitting down, Zuo Bingning was very excited.

When she was about to ask, Lu Ce said directly: "Zhang Chunnian plans to send Zhang Yao to the capital." ”

"How do you know?" Wen Qingzhu frowned, when Concubine Zhang died in the palace, is this Zhang Chunnian still not giving up?

"This is the purchase list sent by the Zhang family to Ruyi Building." Lu Ce pointed to a booklet on the table.

"No, it won't! The emperors are so old! Zuo Bingning was shocked.

Lu Ce glanced at her and said, "You and Miss Wen will understand by looking at that booklet together." ”

Zuo Bingning turned his head and looked at the contents of the booklet.

After reading it, Wen Qingzhu closed the booklet and sneered: "This Zhang Chunnian's heart is really big, this set of things was selected according to the princess's specifications, I don't know if he fell in love with that prince." ”

"Zhang Chunnian wants to send Zhang Yao to the capital to choose a concubine? Every good thing about the emperor's sons! He's got something wrong with his brain! Zuo Bingning felt incredible.

"However, I don't think this decision is quite like Zhang Chunnian's handiwork." Lu Ce turned around and sat down, pointing to the things on the booklet, "I think these are more like arrangements to cover people's ears." ”

Wen Qingzhu just came to Lingcheng and was not very clear about Zhang Chunnian's style of doing things.

But Lu Ce has his own territory here, and Wen Qingzhu believes his words.

"Then who else in the Zhang family can be the master of the house?" Wen Qingzhu actually thought of Mrs. Zhang, but she felt that as a mother, she would definitely not send her daughter to the capital.

Especially after Concubine Zhang had an accident.

"Mrs. Zhang." Lu Ce said the name with great certainty, and then looked at Zuo Bingning, "Didn't she send you a crystal jewel?" ”

"Yes, but how do you know it's Mrs. Zhang?" Zuo Bingning still didn't understand what Lu Ce meant.

Wen Qingzhu understood, and smiled at Lu Ce.

It turns out that this is the case, Mrs. Zhang is advancing and retreating, and she may want to confuse some people's sight.

As for Zhang Chunnian, it is possible whether he is alive or dead.

Early the next morning, Wen Qingzhu accompanied Zuo Bingning to Zhang's house to pick up Zhang Yao.

When I got to the door, I came across several sedan chairs.

Zuo Bingning whispered to Wen Qingzhu: "These people are all Zhang Chunnian's subordinates. ”

They took out the invitations, and immediately a little servant led them away from the main courtyard and went to a quiet and elegant courtyard.

After waiting for a while, Zhang Yao came over.

"Sister Bingning."

Zuo Bingning stood up, he hadn't seen Zhang Yao for two years, and when he looked at it, it seemed like a different person.

Until Zhang Yao came to the front, Zuo Bingning was still a little puzzled: "Yaoyao? ”

"Hmmm! It's me! ”

Zhang Yao only brought a maid, and today she wore a set of aqua blue skirts, which looked very gentle and petty.

Wen Qingzhu, who was standing next to him, looked at Zhang Yao, how could this girl be a little different from Zuo Bingning's character?

Soon, Zhang Yao also noticed Wen Qingzhu, and when he turned his head to look over, his eyes suddenly became a little nervous.

Zuo Bingning took Zhang Yao's hand and explained to her: "Yaoyao, don't be afraid, her name is Wen Qingzhu, she is a little older than you, you can also call her sister." ”

"Sister Qingzhu." Zhang Yao shouted at her very shyly.

Wen Qingzhu nodded gently and didn't ask anything.

After counting their things, the three of them set off.

As he was leaving, Wen Qingzhu saw a carriage parked at the door.

There were servants carrying things to Zhang's house.

When he got into the car, Wen Qingzhu smelled a burst of medicine wafting from there.

She subconsciously raised her eyes and looked over, just in time to meet the steward who commanded the servants.

Just at this glance, Wen Qingzhu immediately saw that this person was not a simple character.

The steward was shocked, who was this girl?

He glanced at his own young lady and Zuo Bingning, and found that they looked very familiar with Wen Qingzhu.

Wen Qingzhu ignored the sight of the steward, and lowered the curtain after getting into the car.

When he got to the carriage, Zuo Bingning couldn't hide his words, and asked directly: "Qingzhu, what were you looking at just now?" ”

Wen Qingzhu glanced at Zhang Yao and said with a smile: "Aren't I good at medicine?" I smelled a smell of medicine just now, Yaoyao, apart from Master Zhang, is there anyone in your family who is sick? That medicine looks like a lot. ”

Zhang Yao's expression suddenly fell, but she still denied it: "No, it's all my father's medicine." ”

She is very bad at lying, and even Zuo Bingning can hear it.

Zuo Bingning raised his eyes and looked at Wen Qingzhu, only to see Wen Qingzhu shaking his head slightly, asking her not to ask more.

Zuo Bingning shut up.

Wen Qingzhu thought of the steward, so he changed the topic: "Is the steward who carried the medicinal materials by your side just now?" I saw that he was looking at you all the time, as if he was worried about you. ”

Speaking of the people and things she was familiar with, Zhang Yao was much more relaxed: "He is the big steward next to my father, different from the second steward, he is very good to me, and has been quietly helping me behind my father's back, and now that my father is sick, he will help my mother." "Book House

"No wonder, I saw that he was reluctant, and I thought he wanted to come with him." Wen Qingzhu quipped.

Zhang Yao smiled embarrassedly: "No, with Sister Bingning here, my mother and the chief steward are very relieved, but I don't go out much, they will always be a little worried." ”

"Oh." Wen Qingzhu nodded, understanding in his heart.

The news she got from Lu Ce was that Mrs. Zhang had not appeared in front of people much in recent years.

claimed to be a Buddha and a son, but now that Zhang Chunnian had an accident, Mrs. Zhang not only controlled the entire Zhang family, but the chief steward around Zhang Chunnian also changed his role so quickly.

Listening to Zhang Yao's tone, the chief steward was more like Mrs. Zhang's person.

When they arrived at the Huai River, Lu Ce rented a boat early.

After the three of them went up, the refreshments and piano girls were all available.

The table is against the window, and the boat boat goes all the way to the east, and you can see the scenery of most of the mausoleum.

Zhang Yao looked very excited, looking out the window for a while, asking the piano girl what song she was playing, and asking how the jade ribbon cake was made for a while.

In short, Wen Qingzhu was talking to her while observing Zhang Yao's temperament.

By noon, the boat had come to a halt.

Green Tao brought lunch with a row of maids.

One by one, Zhang Yao was dizzy, and couldn't help asking: "These dishes don't look like dishes from Lingcheng, where are they?" ”

"These are the signature dishes of Beijing Baiwei Building." Wen Qingzhu replied.

Zhang Yao's face suddenly froze, and she lowered her head a little nervously.

Wen Qingzhu immediately asked, "Do you like the food in the capital?" Green pottery, immediately withdrawn, all replaced with Lingcheng's dishes. ”

"No, no, no!" Zhang Yao immediately raised his head and waved his hand, "I, I just don't like the capital very much, it's not that I don't like these dishes." ”

Wen Qingzhu took care of Zhang Yao very much: "I'm sorry, I really don't know, because I'm from Beijing, and I've only been in Lingcheng for half a month, I thought you would like the food in Beijing, and if you don't like it, change it, I'm a doctor, and I make a lot of money by treating people." ”

After comforting Zhang Yao, Wen Qingzhu turned his head and asked Lu Tao to change all the dishes.

Zhang Yao's heart became even more uneasy.

However, Zuo Bingning didn't care: "Yaoyao, don't worry about Qingzhu, she is richer than us, and a meal is nothing!" ”

Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu's face froze, who said that she was richer than them?

"Bingning, who said that?" Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but ask.

Zuo Bingning replied indifferently: "Cousin, he said that you are very rich, and two days ago, you used several Tianshan Snow Lotus to treat the poor people in the north of the city." ”

"Gongzi Qiao said that I used several snow lotus?" Wen Qingzhu asked again.

Zhang Yao's temperament is more sensitive and sensitive, and she immediately noticed that her mood had changed, and pulled Zuo Bingning's hand: "The Tianshan Snow Lotus is very valuable, and there are not many Tianshan Snow Lotus that attack every year, so it is impossible for Sister Qingzhu to take out so many at once." ”

"Huh? Could it be that my cousin lied? Zuo Bingning looked dazed.

Wen Qingzhu saw that Zhang Yao was here, so he had to say patiently: "Although I am rich, I can't take out a few plants casually, but one or two plants are indeed no problem." ”

"Oh." Only then did Zuo Bingning understand that Qiao Hu had exaggerated Wen Qingzhu's ability, and Wen Qingzhu was unhappy now.

Zhang Yao listened, but was very moved.

When she wrote to her cousin before, her cousin seemed to mention that Tianshan Snow Lotus was very helpful to her mother's condition.

Taking advantage of the time to speak, Zhang Yao still spoke: "Sister Qingzhu." ”

"What's wrong?" Facing Zhang Yao, who has a soft and waxy temperament, Wen Qingzhu's tone is much better.

Zhang Yao didn't know where to start, and for a while, he was hesitant: "I...... I want to ask, ask...... Ask that ......"

She herself also knew that the Tianshan Snow Lotus was very precious, and her grandfather's family didn't have it, so she asked Wen Qingzhu she just met so casually, it didn't seem to be good.

Wen Qingzhu suddenly thought of the cart medicine, Zhang Yao didn't seem to have a good relationship with Zhang Chunnian.

It is very likely that it is Mrs. Zhang's business.

"Don't worry, say it slowly, Bingning and I are good friends, you are her friend, and naturally you are also my friend, if you have anything to say, just say it." Wen Qingzhu tried his best to reassure her.

After a quarter of an hour, Zhang Yao finally mustered up his courage: "Do you still have Tianshan Snow Lotus there?" ”

"Yes, yes, but it's in the capital, and it may take half a month to send it over." Wen Qingzhu replied.

Then she asked, "Is Lord Zhang going to use this medicine?" ”

Zhang Yao was stunned for a moment, and then nodded in surprise: "Yes, yes, yes!" It's my dad! ”

"Oh." Wen Qingzhu smiled very happily, Mrs. Zhang's body really failed.

The medicine of the prescription prepared by the Du family was really prepared for Mrs. Zhang.

"My father can wait, you can just say how much silver the Tianshan Snow Lotus has." Zhang Yao asked her very eagerly.

Wen Qingzhu smiled: "Since it is Bingning's friend, it is useless to leave Snow Lotus alone, I will write a letter to someone to send it over, the fastest is ten days." ”

"Thank you, Sister Qingzhu!" Zhang Yao cried with joy, in this way, her mother's illness would be saved.

Now that he knew that Mrs. Zhang was sick, Wen Qingzhu had a plan in his heart.

She asked again, "Do you need any medicinal materials besides the Tianshan Snow Lotus?" I have prepared the rare medicinal materials here, if you don't talk about it together, I will let someone send a letter back to get it. ”

"Huh?" Zhang Yao was stunned, and then became annoyed, "The others are not very clear, I have to ask my cousin about this." ”

"Then is your cousin in the mausoleum? If we were, we could go there now. Wen Qingzhu continued to guide Zhang Yao in this direction.

Although Zuo Bingning was simple-minded, she also found that Wen Qingzhu seemed to have an ulterior purpose.

Zhang Yao shook Wen Qingzhu's hand in surprise: "My cousin is not here, but my uncle seems to be in Lingcheng, I can write a letter to him!" ”

"Green pottery, bring pen, ink, paper and inkstone." Wen Qingzhu finally relaxed for a moment, and immediately turned his head and ordered.
