In March, the spring is warm, and the grass grows and the warbler flies.

The Wen Mansion was filled with joy, and the maids and women began to get busy.

On Yanyuan's side, as always, no one has set foot on it.

Wen Qingzhu was in the backyard, directing his subordinates to serve herbs.

In the gazebo, green pottery sits next to it, doing needlework.

Peony is looking at the medical book, and if there is a question that he doesn't understand, he asks Wen Qingzhu.

When the sun rose, Wen Qingzhu took off his coat.

Jasmine came out of the house, walking without a sound.

When he got behind him, he spoke: "Miss." ”

"Ahh Green Tao shook his hand holding the needle and thread, startled.

Turning around, he patted his chest angrily and said, "Jasmine, can you make a little noise when you go, if you continue like this, I will be scared to death." ”

Jasmine looked apologetic.

Wen Qingzhu waved his hand, so that Jasmine didn't have to care: "Tell me, is there any movement over there in the big house?" ”

"Not for the time being, but the slave maid found that the eldest lady and the sixth lady have been out of the house frequently recently, and sometimes, they have brought the second young master with them."

Wen Qingzhu thought for a while, and the corners of his mouth curled: "I understand." ”

Jasmine asked again, "Is the slave going to keep watching?" ”

"Well, you are mainly staring at the second young master, in less than a month, Aunt Wu will definitely beg to go to their side."

"Yes, the slave and maid retreated first." Jasmine took the order and quietly walked out of the Yan Garden.

Soon after Jasmine left, Xi'er came back with a food box with a sad face.

Lu Tao got up and teased her: "What, let you go and get a stew, so unhappy?" ”

Xi'er hurriedly shook her head: "No, no, it's the sisters who listened to Qin Xuan recently, they are too good to me, I think it's weird." ”

The food box was placed on the table, and Xi'er took out a bowl of bird's nest soup.

"Miss, this bird's nest was given by Aunt Yue, so I have to stew it for you and send it to you." Xi'er frowned, thinking that everyone had been weird lately.

Wen Qingzhu picked up the silver spoon and tasted it.

The entrance is soft and glutinous and sweet, and it is the best bird's nest.

"You don't have to worry, Aunt Yue needs your help in a few days, you can just watch it when the time comes." Wen Qingzhu knew that Aunt Yue was preparing to make a big move.

In recent days, Yanyuan has been exceptionally calm.

Green Tao suddenly remembered something: "Miss, a few days ago, when the slave maid went to see the young master, she met Miss Eleven, she asked at the time, and asked what we sent to the master in the East Courtyard, and the slave maid felt that Miss Eleven had become a lot gentler, so she said, this is no problem, right?" ”

Wen Qingzhu put down the spoon in his hand and frowned slightly: "Miss Eleven asked us what gift we gave?" ”

"Yes, the slave maid thought it was strange at that time, Sifang is the richest in the Wen family, and he will definitely send the most valuable things, why did he come to ask us instead?" Green Tao was very puzzled.

Wen Qingzhu looked up at the medicine garden, his eyes slowly narrowing.

Seriously recall, since that time when he came back from the Lei family, Wen Qingxin had a serious illness, and his temperament seems to have changed completely?

Why is that?

And last time, Yang and Wen Qingxin saved Wen Qingmei.

If it was in the past, they would have been willing to go far, and they would only pretend that they didn't know Wen Qingmei.

There's something wrong with this Wen Qingxin.

Wen Qingzhu turned his head and said with a smile: "It's okay, in a few days, let's go see Miss Eleven." ”

Three days later, Dong Ling, who was beside Wan's, sent cloth for spring clothes.

Green Tao walked to the study with doubts and took the list.

"Miss, look at the list of spring clothes, it's much better than in previous years, hasn't the Wen family's silver always been in the hands of the fourth lady?"

Wen Qingzhu took it and saw that the fabric had indeed risen by more than one grade compared to last year.

What's even more rare is that among these fabrics, there is even a cloud veil.

"Kind of weird, huh?" Wen Qingzhu muttered to himself.

Green Tao nodded: "No, the materials at home in previous years were not so good!" ”

Wen Qingzhu thought about it, got up and walked to the dresser in the bedroom.

"Green Tao, rinse and dress me up, I'm going to meet Sister Eleven."

Half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu took the green pottery to Fuyuan.

They were received by Mama Fang, who was next to the Yang family.

"Miss Seven?" Mama Fang was obviously surprised that Wen Qingzhu actually came here at this time.

Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly and said: "Excuse me, Mama, I received a cloud yarn here today, but the familiar tailor has no experience in doing this, didn't the fourth aunt make a set of clothes for the eleventh sister before?" I came here to ask for advice. ”

"Please come in." Mama Fang is very good at figuring out the master's intentions.

On this day, she saw Sifang's attitude towards Wen Qingzhu.

Wen Qingzhu came today, and she naturally welcomed Wen Qingzhu in warmly.

"Miss Seven is really coincidental, Madame is in the house with the tailor about this matter, but Miss went to Zimingtang to see the young master, if Miss Seven wants to see Miss, the slave maid sent someone to Zimingtang to say something?"

"Don't bother, it's good that the fourth aunt is here." Wen Qingzhu smiled and shook his head, Wen Qingxin was not better.

When they arrived at the house, Yang was making calculations.

The sound of crackling beads resounded throughout the room. Seeking Chinese

"Madam, Miss Seven is here."

Yang suddenly stopped what he was doing, got up and looked over: "Xiao Qi? ”

Wen Qingzhu stepped forward to salute and say hello: "Fourth aunt, I want to inquire about something with my aunt this time." ”

"You're welcome, you're welcome, Xiao Qi is sitting here." The Yang family was also surprised that Wen Qingzhu actually came.

After the two sat down, Yang ordered his subordinates to serve refreshments.

Wen Qingzhu explained the meaning directly and clearly.

After listening to her words, a trace of embarrassment flashed in Yang's eyes.

But soon, she smiled again: "It's nothing, I'll lend you the tailor two days when the time comes." ”

"Thank you so much, Aunt Four." Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly.

Yang looked at her and suddenly remembered Wen Qingxin's words.

It's better for us to learn from the Seventh Sister, don't send such valuable things to your grandfather, everything is simple and important.

Yang couldn't understand why Wen Qingzhu sent such a simple thing.

She couldn't help it, so she asked: "Xiao Qi, I want to ask you something, your grandfather's promotion is a great event, is it really appropriate for your Eastern Courtyard to send a congratulatory gift so simple?" ”

Wen Qingzhu had expected it, and replied with a smile: "With my grandfather's ability, there are many opportunities for promotion in the future, but this promotion is not very important, and at this time, you can't celebrate too much." ”

"Is it because of Concubine Xia's incident?" Yang didn't quite understand what Wen Qingzhu meant.

The promotion of the Wen family is a happy event, and it is normal to celebrate.

But listening to Wen Qingzhu's words, it seems that this is not appropriate.

Wen Qingzhu sighed, this is the disadvantage of the Yang family's perennial dealings with merchant women.

She didn't understand the questions about the situation.

But Wen Qingzhu came this time to inquire about Wen Qingxin.

It is necessary for her to show a certain sincerity.

Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu simply said directly: "This matter doesn't have much to do with Concubine Xia, but it has a certain relationship, you can ask the fourth uncle, he should be able to understand." ”

A look of chagrin appeared on Yang's face: "Yes, I'm sorry, I don't know much about these things." ”

"It's okay, in the future, the four aunts will walk around between the official ladies and wives, and these things can be understood." Wen Qingzhu comforted her softly.

Yang was very moved, but his face was still a little dull: "Thank you Xiaoqi, but the Wen family is your eldest aunt going out to walk around, I just take care of the Wen family's affairs, and I don't have much chance." ”

The corners of Wen Qingzhu's mouth curled slightly, and he hinted in a low voice: "The eldest aunt is the wife of the Wen family, but the fourth aunt is also the wife of the Wen family, although the young and young are orderly, but you are not worse than the eldest uncle, such as the last Hundred Flowers Banquet, the Liang family has a heart, and has placed three posts, normal people generally have the next post, and we have no family, one post invites the entire Wen family, the next time you encounter this kind of thing, the fourth aunt might as well be positive." ”

"How can you be positive?" Yang seemed to understand what Wen Qingzhu meant.

Wen Qingzhu diverted the topic and said, "I heard that the eleventh sister hasn't been going to Fushoutang much recently?" ”

Yang was anxious, but she couldn't force Wen Qingzhu, so she could only reply patiently: "Well, Xin'er said that she has been reading less, and she has been more diligent in Zimingtang recently, pestering her brother to teach her to read and write." ”

"Is that so?" The doubts in Wen Qingzhu's heart deepened.

You must know that Wen Qingxin hates piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, especially hates reading and writing.

In addition, Wen Qingfang is very good at these things, and Wen Qingxin doesn't want to be contaminated with these.

Suddenly changed his personality for no reason.

Yang didn't pay attention to Wen Qingzhu's strange expression, but asked anxiously: "Mother has arranged the truth clearly before, the sister-in-law is responsible for befriending the wife of the official family, and I am responsible for befriending the wife of the merchant, and I have not proposed to go around with the sister-in-law." ”

Wen Qingzhu comforted her and said: "This matter is actually not difficult, if the fourth aunt has done all the things explained by her grandmother, it just so happens that the eldest aunt is going to go to the official lady's side, and you propose to follow to see the world at this time, and grandmother will not object, after all, it is still dominated by the eldest aunt." ”

"Yes, why didn't I expect that the eldest aunt had also taken the opportunity to meddle in the Wen family's business before!" Yang patted his head and said with a sudden realization.

Wen Qingzhu took the opportunity to ask again, "When did the eleventh sister start to change?" ”

"What?" Yang shook his head for a moment, and did not catch Wen Qingzhu's words.

Wen Qingzhu patiently asked again: "When did the eleventh sister start to read and write?" ”

"After the illness recovered from that illness a few years ago." Yang was happy in his heart, and couldn't help but say a few more words, "I thought, it's Xin'er who has opened his mind, Liang'er is so smart and sensible, it doesn't make sense that his own sister can't do it!" The little six pianos, chess, calligraphy and painting are proficient in everything, and of course my family core can also do it. ”

Wen Qingzhu replied with a smile: "That's for sure, Sister Xin'er and Ninth Brother are both born to you, so naturally it's okay." ”

With such a flattery, Yang felt extremely comfortable in his heart, and said again: "But it may be that at the beginning of the year, I didn't come back, which scared her." ”

Wen Qingzhu's heart moved: "Fourth aunt, don't worry, Sister Xin'er is sensible and has nothing to do with you, everyone will be sensible when they are old." ”

"Hmm." Yang's tone was a little bitter.

Because she thought of the incident a year ago, Wen Jihua had never beaten her.

That time, he hit her.

Wen Qingzhu held Yang's hand and comforted softly: "Fourth aunt, as long as you have the same status as the eldest uncle in the future, you can help the fourth uncle, so that you will not have a problem." ”

More than an hour later, Wen Qingzhu walked out of the Fuyuan with Yang's tailor.

When they turned to the direction of Yan Yuan, Wen Qingxin happened to come back with the maid.

I saw Wen Qingzhu's back from a distance.

Wen Qingxin felt bad in his heart, and immediately quickened his pace and rushed back to Fuyuan.

When they arrived at the house, Yang was no longer there.

Wen Qingxin asked the little maid in the house: "What about my mother?" Isn't she checking this year's budget? ”

The little maid replied a little apprehensively: "Madam, she went to Fushoutang......

Wen Qingxin's heart sank.

Two days ago, she told her mother that it was best not to go to Fushoutang these days.
