Chapter 42: The West Courtyard is on Fire

Wen Qingzhu raised his eyes and saw Wen Qingfang's smile shallow, which made people feel like a spring breeze.

"The sixth sister laughed, the younger sister is just helping Aunt Yue." Wen Qingzhu insisted on not answering, and only looked at her with a smile.

Wen Qingfang didn't say more, and the smile on her face deepened.

Just then, there was the sound of footsteps outside the door.

The three of them looked up in unison, and Aunt Yue appeared at the door.

"Auntie." Wen Qingzhu hurriedly got up to greet him.

Walking up to Aunt Yue, Wen Qingzhu winked.

Aunt Yue understood and understood what she should say.

The affairs of Yanyuan should be handled in Yanyuan.

Wen Qingzhu gave up the main seat to Aunt Yue to sit down, and sat on the first place by herself.

Wan Shi glanced at her meaningfully, and then turned his head to say hello to Aunt Yue: "Auntie has been working hard lately, I heard that Yan Yuan is very busy." ”

Aunt Yue said modestly: "It's hard work, but it's really busy recently, and the big and small things in Yanyuan have to be handled by the concubine, if it weren't for the help of Miss Seven, the concubine might have been dizzy." ”

Seeing that Aunt Yue and Wen Qingzhu's words were so tacit, Wan didn't know how to speak for a while.

Aunt Yue saw that she was thinking, so she asked first: "Recently, the eldest lady has been busy with the old lady's birthday banquet?" ”

"Yes, the old lady is fiftieth birthday this year, and she can't be sloppy, and I'm busy here." Wan Shi was a little unhappy in his heart, why was he robbed of the conversation by Aunt Yue.

Just as she felt that something was wrong, Aunt Yue then asked, "Is the concubine negligent, but the eldest lady wants someone to help?" If the manpower is insufficient, the concubine here will try to send you manpower over, although there are not many, but ten or twenty maids and women can still be transferred, in terms of candidates, the concubine has already made arrangements, just wait for the words of the eldest lady. ”

Hearing this, Wan immediately understood.

Aunt Yue didn't want her to interfere in Yanyuan's affairs.

Wan Shi was very dissatisfied in his heart, but he still smiled on his face and said: "Then thank you Aunt Yue, I don't need it for the time being for the past two days, I came here today to remind you first." ”

"The concubine knows." Aunt Yue's head said yes, with a cautious and humble appearance.

Originally, she wanted to find out the specific situation of Yan Yuan, but now the excuse she prepared has been said.

Wan picked up the tea cup in his hand and took a sip gently.

When he put down the teacup, his eyes casually glanced at the west courtyard.

I heard that Aunt Wu was seriously ill, and she didn't come out to take a look at such an important event as the old lady's birthday banquet.

Is it really seriously ill?

Wen Qingfang, who was sitting under Wan's hand, saw what her mother meant.

She thought for a moment in her heart, looked at Wen Qingzhu and asked, "Seventh sister, I haven't seen the fourth sister for a long time, is she also sick?" ”

Wen Qingzhu sighed as if it was true or false: "Dissatisfied with the sixth sister, since Aunt Wu was sick, the fourth sister didn't think about tea and dinner, and served in front of Aunt Wu all day and night, and she was sick or not, but her filial piety was rare, so she didn't have time to come out." ”

With such a perfect reason, Wen Qingfang couldn't think of what to ask next.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Wen Qingzhu hit the railway while it was hot: "The sixth sister is worried about the fourth sister, why don't you accompany the sixth sister to see the fourth sister?" ”

Hearing this, Wen Qingfang didn't have time to reply, and Wan Shi opened his mouth to refuse: "No need. ”

Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look at Wan.

Wan's expression said lightly: "Since Xiao Si has such filial piety, we don't have to go over to bother." ”

"That's what Auntie said." Wen Qingzhu lowered his eyebrows and replied in a low voice.

After being silent for a while, Wan took Wen Qingfang to leave.

After sending them away, Wen Qingzhu turned around with Aunt Yue.

"Auntie, is it okay in the West Courtyard?"

When it came to the West Courtyard, Aunt Yue had a headache now, pinched her eyebrows and said, "Aunt Wu's condition has improved, but Qinglan is still unwilling to go with me to listen to Qinxuan." ”

Of course Wen Qinglan won't go!

There is still Aunt Wu in the West Courtyard to help her, and when you arrive at Tingqin Xuan, you can let others rub it round and flatten.

As he walked, Wen Qingzhu thought of one more thing: "Auntie, does my father have any plans for the marriage of the fourth sister?" ”

Aunt Yue glanced at her in surprise, only to see Wen Qingzhu nodding with a light smile.

After thinking about it for a while, Aunt Yue pondered and replied: "The third master and the concubine have mentioned it, and it seems that they already have plans for the marriage of the fourth lady. ”

"Really? Do you have any intention to disclose it? Wen Qingzhu's heart couldn't help but hang.

Uncle Wen is already thinking about her marriage, so Wen Qinglan's marriage must have a direction.

Aunt Yue shook her head: "The third master just mentioned it casually, and the intention has not been revealed." ”

Although Wen Qingzhu sympathizes with the Lei family, she is unwilling to let Uncle Wen be in charge of her marriage.

After thinking about it, she decided to give Aunt Yue a chance.

"Auntie." Wen Qingzhu stopped.

Aunt Yue turned her head sideways and stopped.

Wen Qingzhu looked at the maid beside her, and Aunt Yue raised her hand and retreated.

In the small garden, there were only two people left, Aunt Yue and Wen Qingzhu.

Wen Qingzhu said in a low voice: "Auntie, over there in the West Courtyard, there is also Uncle Wu, I heard that he may be promoted recently." ”

Hearing this, Aunt Yue was shocked.

Uncle Wen, on his side, is actually optimistic about others and has told her.

Wen Shuquan meant that through the old lady's birthday banquet, she would come forward and meet the lady over there.

If there is no big problem, she will set it for Wen Qinglan.

But if the Wu family is promoted, Aunt Wu doesn't talk about turning over, at least Wen Qinglan's marriage, Uncle Wen has to reconsider.

Once the news of her coming forward to say that she is related is leaked, she will inevitably be hated by Aunt Wu's mother and daughter.

Thinking of their methods against Wen Qingzhu, Aunt Yue couldn't help frowning.

After thinking about it, Aunt Yue bowed her head and thanked her: "Thank you Miss Seven for reminding me." ”

Wen Qingzhu just likes to talk to smart people.

Needless to say, both sides understand what each other means.

After separating from Aunt Yue, Wen Qingzhu took the green pottery and walked towards the east courtyard.

Lu Tao didn't understand a little, so he asked, "Miss, isn't it good to let Qin Xuan fight with the West Courtyard?" Didn't we just reap the benefits of the fisherman? ”

Wen Qingzhu sighed: "We can't just look at the West Courtyard and Tingqin Xuan, we also have to see the Golden Pine Pavilion. ”

"Third master? What does this have to do with the third master? "Green Tao still doesn't understand.

After arriving at the house and sitting down, Wen Qingzhu carefully explained to her: "Do you think the current situation is allowed?" It is the father, and only he can decide their situation with one word. ”

Green Tao was stunned for a long time before he said, "It seems to be so." ”

In the afternoon, Wen Qingzhu waited for news from Jasmine and Green Pottery.

Waiting and waiting, it was Xi'er who hurriedly ran in.

"Miss! Big things are not good! The west courtyard is on fire! ”

"What!" Wen Qingzhu slapped the table and got up, and hurriedly walked down.

Xi'er hurriedly stepped forward to support her: "The slave maid was in the kitchen, and found that there was smoke rising from the west courtyard, so she immediately called someone to put out the fire, and then came to your side." ”

Wen Qingzhu's heart was like electricity, and the West Courtyard was on fire at this time!

How can it be!

There was a sudden light in front of him, and Wen Qingzhu exclaimed in his heart: Mother Wei!

At this time, Mother Ye came with her two mothers-in-law.

"Miss!"

Wen Qingzhu's heart relaxed slightly, and he immediately commanded in a deep voice: "Go!" Let's go to the West Courtyard! ”

Hurriedly rushed to the west courtyard with people, and Aunt Yue was already directing people to extinguish the fire.

Wen Qingzhu stood at the gate of the west courtyard, scanning the maid who rushed over to help.

Many of her were very faceless.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the green pottery ran out of it with a gray face.

"Miss! It's okay! ”

Wen Qingzhu was startled when she saw her like this, and trotted forward with her skirt: "Why are you in the West Courtyard?" Hurt? ”

Green Tao laughed and shook his head: "No! Don't believe it, miss, look! ”

In order not to worry her, Green Tao specially raised his hands and spun in a circle.

Except for some ashes on his face and body, Green Tao really didn't have anything to do.

Mother Ye next to her was relieved, and hurriedly asked, "What's the matter?" ”

"That's her!" Green Tao turned around with a cold face and pointed to Mother Wei, who was being escorted by the rough mother-in-law behind her.

Wen Qingzhu wrinkled his eyebrows and looked at her, and found that this Mother Wei didn't look too scared!

At this time, Aunt Yue walked out with a calm face.

Seeing Wen Qingzhu here, her face changed slightly.

"Miss Seven, I've disturbed you." Aunt Yue is very sorry.

After all, she has been here in the West Courtyard for a while now.

I didn't walk away for a while today, and this happened.

Wen Qingzhu took a closer look at the people behind Aunt Yue and found that none of them were harmed.

"It's okay, is the situation inside okay?"

Aunt Yue nodded: "Miss Seven, don't worry, she just knocked over a charcoal basin and burned half of the window." ”

"That's good, the people in the West Courtyard are fine."

Wen Qingzhu and Aunt Yue glanced at each other, and they already understood in their hearts.

The west courtyard is watery, but I'm afraid that Aunt Wu can't fit it anymore.

Aunt Yue turned her head to look at the green pottery and said: "Speaking of which, I would like to thank the green pottery girl, if she hadn't reflected in time and poured a basin of water, I'm afraid that this fire would not be so easy to extinguish." ”

"Green pottery?" Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look at the green pottery.

Green Tao replied with a grin: "It's not a big deal!" Fortunately, the slave maid had a problem with this servant in advance, otherwise he would not have been able to extinguish the fire in such a timely manner! ”

Everyone looked in the direction of her fingers, and saw that Wei's mother's face was like ashes, and her legs were weak and knelt down.

Aunt Yue's face sank like water: "It's you again!" ”

Wen Qingzhu keenly heard the strangeness, and hurriedly asked, "What else did she do?" ”

Aunt Yue decided not to hide it anymore, and pointed at Mother Wei and said, "This evil slave! I had knocked over the charcoal basin in Meier's room before, if it wasn't for Xiao Xing next to the fire in time, I would have to go to the water for no reason! ”

"Mother Wei......" Wen Qingzhu slowly stepped forward.

Stopped in front of Wei's mother-in-law, and instructed her mother-in-law, "Help her up, let me see her hands." ”

The two mothers-in-law immediately grabbed Wei's mother's arm, grabbed her hand, and stretched it out in front of Wen Qingzhu.

Wen Qingzhu looked down and found that on her palm, the back of her palm was burned several large pieces.

The whole hands, almost not a whole piece of skin.

But such a cover-up still can't escape her eyes.

The burns were nothing more than a cover for her old wounds.

"Mother Wei, you are deliberately overturning the charcoal basin and murdering the master, do you know the consequences?" Wen Qingzhu stared at Mother Wei's eyes, and her voice was as cold as ice.

These hands, she had seen several times by her mother's side, Lu.
