Chapter 54: It's not an exaggeration to die
After sending off Third Lady Lei, Wen Qingzhu sighed.
She held a warm red auspicious jade pendant in her hand.
Others don't know, but Wen Qingzhu knows that Third Mrs. Lei really wants to be her daughter-in-law this time.
Is the fourth son of the Lei family?
After putting away the jade pendant, Wen Qingzhu turned around and returned to the Wen family.
The birthday banquet is not over yet, and Mrs. Wen is still accompanying the guests.
Wen Qingzhu originally planned to go back to Yanyuan directly to rest first, but a little girl came over and wanted to invite.
Master Wen invited her over.
I came to the middle courtyard of the Ziming Hall.
Before Wen Qingzhu walked in, Wen Shuquan's voice came from behind him.
"Bamboo."
Wen Qingzhu paused, turned around, and bowed his head to salute him: "Father." ”
Uncle Wen walked over in a few steps, asked her to excuse herself, and looked into her eyes and said, "Later, no matter what grandfather asks, you won't know." ”
Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu became suspicious, what does Uncle Wen mean by this?
However, she still nodded respectfully: "Yes, thank you father for mentioning it." ”
followed the little guy to the house, and Wen Guanbin was on the main seat.
Wen Bogui stood beside him dejectedly.
It seems that he should have been reprimanded by Wen Guanbin.
stepped forward and saluted Wen Qingzhu in a proper manner.
During this period, Wen Guanbin's eagle eyes looked at her quietly, observing her every movement.
When Wen Qingzhu finished saluting, Wen Guanbin raised his hand to let her get up.
He pointed to the position of his hand and said, "Xiao Qi, sit down." ”
Wen Qingzhu frowned imperceptibly, Wen Guanbin had never given a seat to his grandchildren's children before.
Thinking of the Third Lady Lei who had just been sent away, Wen Qingzhu settled down a little.
Even if Uncle Wen can't disobey Wen Guanbin, Mrs. Lei can influence Wen Guanbin's decision to a certain extent.
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu sat down obediently.
Wen Guanbin was always looking at her.
In his impression, he rarely saw this concubine of Saburo.
The last time I had an impression, it was because of the cliff orchid picture last time.
After the incident by the pond, he immediately sent someone to investigate the situation on the side of the hundred gardens.
At this birthday banquet, Wen Qingzhu sent a picture of Mr. Zhuang's hundred flowers.
How rare this painting is, Wen Guanbin knows better than the people in the Hundred Gardens just now.
At the beginning, the Wan family used a picture to make His Majesty happy.
Now that their Wen family still has a picture of a hundred flowers, at least this promotion, he doesn't have to worry about it.
"Little Seven."
"Xiao Qi is here." Wen Qingzhu's back straightened, and he bowed his head and replied.
Wen Guanbin frowned, why is Wen Xiaoqi so restrained?
After observing it just now, her ceremonial posture is no worse than that of those high-ranking daughters.
But her temperament and bearing seem to be far from good.
"This is Zimingtang, there are only me and your uncle present, you don't have to be restrained, just relax."
Wen Qingzhu still looked very restrained on his face, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.
She guessed right.
As long as she is not perfect, she cannot be used as a bargaining chip for Wen Guanbin's marriage.
The concubine of the Wen family is not very high, but it is definitely not low.
At least they won't give away people as concubines at will, or marry widowers as someone else's stepfamily.
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu still didn't dare to relax, Wen Guanbin was a little dissatisfied.
However, he still patiently asked, "How did you know Third Lady Lei?" ”
"Back to grandfather, Xiao Qi is seeing Mrs. Lei for the first time today." Wen Qingzhu didn't call Aunt Ruan, after all, she couldn't let the Lei family get involved in the Wen family's affairs.
Wen Guanbin's face became more and more displeased: "But when I look at it today, you and her are very familiar, not like the first time we met." ”
Wen Qingzhu hurriedly got up in fright: "Grandfather, Xiao Qi is really the first time to see Mrs. Lei, if you don't believe it, you can ask your grandmother, when Mrs. Lei San gave a congratulatory gift, Xiao Qi was still strange." ”
Wen Guanbin naturally knew what was going on at the banquet, he was just testing Wen Qingzhu.
"Then tell me, what did you say with Mrs. Lei San today?"
Wen Qingzhu picked up some inconsequential things and said for a while.
Wen Guanbin was already a little impatient, how could Mrs. Lei San show favor to Wen Qingzhu for no reason!
Just now, Uncle Wen told him that when Mrs. Lei was in the boudoir, she was friends with the Lu family.
This time the old lady's birthday banquet, she came to see her friend's daughter.
Wen Guanbin sensed that Uncle Wen must have hidden something.
But Uncle Wen didn't say anything, and it was definitely not a way for him to ask.
Thinking of this, he asked, "Have you heard anything from your father?" ”
"Nope." Wen Qingzhu's voice was as thin as a mosquito and fly, and his body seemed to be trembling, looking like a child.
Wen Guanbin saw that he couldn't ask anything, so he impatiently ordered: "Okay, you can step down." ”
Wen Qingzhu saluted and said goodbye here, and nervously retreated.
Out of Wen Guanbin's courtyard, Wen Qingzhu wiped the beads of sweat on his forehead with a handkerchief.
"Bamboo."
Wen Shuquan's voice came from the side.
Wen Qingzhu turned her head to look and found that Uncle Wen's eyes were a little deep when he looked at her.
"Grandfather didn't embarrass you, did he?"
"No, thank you for your concern." When Wen Qingzhu looked up, he found that it was Tian Chong who was following Wen Shuquan this time.
He furrowed his eyebrows slightly.
Wen Qingzhu comprehended, lowered his head and asked obediently, "Is there anything else wrong with my father?" ”
"It's okay, your grandmother's side." Uncle Wen found that he couldn't see through his daughter for the first time.
Third Lady Lei's attitude towards Wen Qingzhu is already obvious, but doesn't she have any hints about Wen Qingzhu?
Uncle Wen didn't believe it.
After leaving the Ziming Hall, Wen Qingzhu's expression was extremely cold.
"Let's go back to Yanyuan first."
Tian Chong's eyes just now, she understood.
Uncle Wen began to doubt her.
Even though the Lu family and the third lady Lei used to be on good terms, she suddenly visited quietly, obviously because the Lei family and the Wen family had a connection.
The Lu family has passed away, and Uncle Wen has been unable to ask people here several times.
Why did the third lady Lei suddenly come this time.
Uncle Wen could only doubt her.
After returning to Yan Yuan, Wen Qingzhu wrote a letter and quietly hid it in his sleeve.
She was going to go to Fu Lie and ask him to contact Third Lady Lei.
The matter of marrying must not be brought up by Mrs. Lei first.
Although she didn't want to marry Ji.
But now that Uncle Wen thinks that Mrs. Lei San has this intention, she is the safest.
As soon as he walked out of Yan Garden, Wen Qingzhu felt a strange gaze.
Her footsteps did not stop, and continued to walk towards the Hundred Gardens.
Halfway through, she met Wen Qinglan who was coming towards her.
When Wen Qinglan saw her, she was a little surprised: "Seventh sister? ”
Wen Qingzhu looked at her not superb acting skills, and replied with a smile: "Fourth sister." ”
"Why don't you dress up well today?" Wen Qinglan walked to her side cordially and wanted to hold her hand.
Wen Qingzhu was willing to give her this opportunity, and when she dodged sideways, Wen Qinglan fell short.
Wen Qinglan didn't feel embarrassed at all, and continued to smile: "Seventh sister, is this going to Baihuayuan?" ”
"Hmm." Wen Qingzhu looked behind Wen Qinglan.
I saw two strange mothers-in-law holding something, standing with their heads bowed, and they didn't say hello to her at all just now.
After glancing at it, Wen Qingzhu smiled and said, "The fourth sister has something to do, so the younger sister will leave first." ”
"Wait!" Wen Qinglan eagerly grabbed her.
Wen Qingzhu stopped and looked at her with a smile.
Wen Qinglan's heart jumped, and she tried to stabilize her emotions and said, "Seventh sister, grandmother and they have already returned to Fushoutang, you should go to Fushoutang now." ”
Wen Qingzhu's eyes became deeper and deeper, and he said meaningfully: "Really? ”
"Yes! If you don't believe it, if you go to Fushoutang, you will definitely meet the eleventh sister who is in the past. ”
Wen Qinglan's affirmative tone made Wen Qingzhu can't help but look sideways.
"Thank you." Wen Qingzhu didn't plan to go to Fushoutang.
Because she is now desperate to find Fu Lie.
Hearing Wen Qingzhu's answer, Wen Qinglan thought that she had changed her direction.
But when she saw that Wen Qingzhu was still heading in the direction of Baihuayuan, she was shocked.
No way!
In a hurry, Wen Qinglan saw a cup of soup in her mother-in-law's hand.
Wen Qinglan's eyes suddenly lit up, and she glanced at the woman: Splash the soup on Wen Qingzhu's body!
The mother-in-law with the soup was a little hesitant.
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu was about to walk past them, another mother-in-law nodded to her.
The mother-in-law holding the soup deliberately walked forward, but her body was crooked.
A cup of soup in the tray suddenly splashed on Wen Qingzhu's body.
Standing behind Wen Qingzhu, Green Tao shouted in fright: "Be careful! ”
But it was too late, and that cup of soup was about to be splashed on Wen Qingzhu's body.
Although Wen Qingzhu had been prepared, she saw that this mother-in-law was slow to do it just now, thinking that this cup of soup was not aimed at her.
At the last moment, a man came out of the nearby woods.
I saw him raise the cloth in his hand and completely block the soup for Wen Qingzhu.
When Wen Qinglan saw this scene, she gritted her teeth with hatred.
Where did this man come from?
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and saw that the person in front of him was Fu Lie.
Wen Qingzhu stretched out his hand without hesitation and handed him the letter in his sleeve.
Fu Lie quickly put it away, and at the same time found that Wen Qingzhu made a lip word to him: Third Lady Lei.
Slightly lowering his eyebrows to show that he knew, Fu Lie quickly took a few steps back, bowed down and asked, "Is Miss okay?" ”
Block the soup, receive the letter, and then step back and say hello.
It's only a matter of seconds.
Wen Qingzhu nodded lightly: "It's okay." ”
Immediately afterwards, Wen Qingzhu turned to look at the mother-in-law who had spilled the soup, and said with a fierce look in his eyes: "The Wen family has many guests today, and your slave is so reckless!" Jasmine! Give me twenty in the face! ”
Jasmine, who was beside her, stepped forward silently and stood in front of the mother-in-law who was crooked and had not yet stood up straight: "Please kneel down and be punished!" ”
"Stop!" Wen Qinglan immediately panicked, these two mothers-in-law are not from the Wen family, and they must not be left to Wen Qingzhu's disposal.
Rather than offending these two people, Wen Qinglan was more willing to offend Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu squinted at Wen Qinglan: "Fourth sister! Our Wen family doesn't need minions who are inconvenient! It's so good just now! She clearly did it on purpose! Jasmine, do it! ”
"You dare!" Wen Qinglan was about to rush up.
Green Tao stepped forward a few steps, stopped Wen Qinglan, and said with a smile: "Fourth Miss, don't want this slave, offend Miss Seventh with a maximum of twenty mouths, if you offend the guests, I'm afraid that I won't be too much to die!" ”
Jasmine saw that the mother-in-law in front of her did not react, and even frowned slightly.
She followed Wen Qingzhu's teachings, and without further ado, she raised her hand and began to slap her mother-in-law's face fiercely.
