Chapter 159: This Is Trying to Force Me

Years ago, Jiang Yuancheng finally failed to come to the Wen family.

But he wrote to him and said he would come back in March.

When Wen Guanbin saw the letter, he made a decision in his heart.

Early the next morning, Wen Qingzhu was called to Fushoutang.

In Fushoutang, only Wen Guanbin and Liu were there.

This time, even Wen Qingxin was not there.

"I've seen my grandfather and grandmother." Wen Qingzhu felt that something was wrong.

"Get up."

Wen Guanbin's tone was unusually soft.

But this kind of Wen Guanbin made Wen Qingzhu more and more vigilant.

After sitting down, Liu asked her very kindly: "How have you learned to arrange flowers and order tea recently?" ”

"Okay." Wen Qingzhu had a guess in his heart.

Liu Shi asked again: "Don't you feel any difficulties?" ”

"Not yet." Wen Qingzhu carefully worded.

Liu beckoned and asked Mama Du to bring a few handfuls of flowers.

Soon, tables and cushions were set up in the main hall.

The maid on the left is holding a variety of flowers, and the maid on the right is holding a variety of vases.

Wen Qingzhu sat upright, his eyes not squinting.

After a while, Songyan walked in with an old woman with a serious face.

She walked to the front and saluted: "I've seen Master Wen, Old Mrs. Wen." ”

Wen Qingzhu's gaze condensed slightly, this old lady came out of the palace.

Liu got up, walked to Wen Qingzhu, and pulled her to stand up: "This is Mama Quan, who has been in the palace for thirty years, and it is a first-class craft to interject and order tea, and she once served in the palace of the deceased Empress Zheng." ”

"I've seen Mama Quan." Wen Qingzhu was very respectful on his face.

Mama Quan kept a straight face, staring at Wen Qingzhu's saluting movements.

Originally, she was ready, and she had to be picky.

But when Wen Qingzhu finished saluting, she was surprised to find that Wen Qingzhu's etiquette was impeccable.

However, in order for her to be able to get this rich silver, she still spoke: "Miss Wen, when you bent your knees, you were two points higher, and it should be lower." ”

Hearing her words, Wen Qingzhu looked up in surprise, looked at Mama Quan's height, and then looked at her own height.

"Mama, what you said is wrong, everyone's height is different, and the degree of knee bending is naturally different." Wen Qingzhu felt that this Quan Mama was simply ridiculous.

If there is a problem with her interests, then the interests of few people in the whole capital will be fine.

Mama Quan was slapped in the face, but she couldn't admit it, so she could only turn to Liu and say, "Old lady, I can't teach Miss Seven." ”

"Little Seven! Mama Quan is an old mama in the palace, how could her words be wrong! Don't apologize yet! Liu Shi lowered his face coldly, took Wen Qingzhu's hand and asked her to apologize.

Wen Qingzhu pushed Liu's hand away, took two steps back, and said with a smile: "Does Grandmother really think that Xiao Qi is wrong?" But I have read the book "Daqi Court Etiquette" before, which records that when bending the knees, the most standard is less than one-ninth of the original height, if my grandmother doesn't believe it, Xiao Qi can send someone to get the book now. ”

"There are rules in the palace!" Mama Quan's face stiffened, and she refused to admit her mistake.

Seeing this, Liu followed Grandma Quan and said, "Xiao Qi! How can you be a Chinese mother! Don't apologize yet! ”

Wen Qingzhu said with a smile: "Grandmother, you may have forgotten, I have been to the prince's mansion before, and the princess and other maids are all from the palace, and the princess has praised my etiquette before!" If you don't believe me, I'll send someone to beg the princess and ask her to arrange a palace maid to come over? ”

Hearing this, Grandma Quan's face was visibly ugly.

Liu thought about it, as if it was really the case.

She looked at Mama Quan tentatively: "Do you want to go to the Prince's Mansion?" ”

How dare Mama Quan let Wen Qingzhu send someone to the Prince's Mansion, she hurriedly said: "No, no!" It's me who remembers wrong! Miss Seven is not wrong, but there is still a problem with her height, although I am not surprised, but I can still see it just now. ”

"Mama Quan, my etiquette is fine, otherwise I'll do it again to show you?" Wen Qingzhu didn't want to be taught a lesson by this so-called grandmother.

Mama Quan said calmly: "Next time you may be thoughtful." ”

Liu Shi also said coldly: "Xiao Qi! Don't make a fuss! There will be nothing wrong with Mama Quan's words! ”

Wen Qingzhu couldn't be angry, but Wen Guanbin was here, and she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.

He only turned his face away, kept his head shut and did not speak.

Mama Quan glanced at Wen Qingzhu, and suddenly thought of the sixth miss last time.

How come they are all the granddaughters of the Wen family, the difference is so big!

Even if Wen Qingzhu's etiquette is indeed fine, she is a very senior old mother, and she was questioned by a little girl!

No way! She had to pick a little thorn.

Thinking of this, Mama Quan turned around and said, "Please sit down, Miss Seven, and see how your flower arrangement skills are?" ”

Liu nodded hurriedly: "Quick, you sit down." ”

Wen Qingzhu had no choice but to sit down.

Mama Quan stood next to her and said condescendingly: "Miss Seventh can start, you can pick a vase first." ”

Wen Qingzhu held back the dissatisfaction in his heart and turned his head to glance at the vase.

These vases, she looked very familiar.

One of the vases with a lotus pond carp figure is almost the most conspicuous one in Empress Zheng's palace.

She raised her eyes and looked at Grandma Quan.

Mama Quan, who was looked at by her, jumped inexplicably.

I only heard Wen Qingzhu point to the vase of the lotus pond carp and say, "That's it." ”

When Mama Quan saw it, her eyes narrowed.

This isn't ......

Then, Wen Qingzhu asked the maid to send several kinds of flowers.

Wen Qingzhu cut the flower branches quickly and steadily, and in less than a quarter of an hour, a vase of flowers was inserted.

"Mama, look, how about this vase of flowers?" Wen Qingzhu got up and looked at her with a smile. Writing Zhai

Mama Quan didn't know that this vase of flowers was Queen Zheng's favorite match.

Even His Majesty is praised today, and even a lot of poems have been written by the talents of the Hanlin Academy.

"Good." Quan Mama squeezed out two words with difficulty.

However, her next sentence secretly derogated Qingzhu: "You can blindly copy Queen Zheng's collocation, Miss Seven has no intentions." ”

"It's a beginner after all! Then I will follow Queen Zheng's matching method and match a bottle for Mama again. ”

Wen Qingzhu obviously smiled gently, but in Mama Quan's eyes, it seemed to be provocative.

In less than two quarters of an hour, Wen Qingzhu once again matched a vase of flowers.

Whether it is from the choice of bottles, or the color type of flowers, it is not the same as the original.

But the whole feeling is exactly the same as the original.

Mama Quan was very frightened, but she couldn't praise Wen Qingzhu.

Once she praised Wen Qingzhu, maybe the silver in her hand would be gone.

"It's good, but you ...... here"

Since it is different from the original, Quan Mama naturally tries her best to pick thorns.

Wen Qingzhu had a smile on his face, and he already decided that this Quan Mama was a liar.

A morning passed, and Wen Qingzhu was finally liberated.

When I left Fushoutang, I ran into Wen Qingxin.

"Hello Seventh Sister." Wen Qingxin greeted her politely.

Wen Qingzhu nodded, he wanted to leave, but suddenly thought of something.

"Eleventh sister, what is this Fushoutang doing?"

"Grandmother invited me a grandmother in the palace, didn't the seventh sister just finish learning?" Wen Qingxin looked at her strangely, didn't she know about this?

Wen Qingzhu pondered for a moment: "So that's the case, but the eleventh sister should be careful, that Quan Mama has no ability to talk nonsense, but she has a hand." ”

"Well, my sister will remember, thank you sister for reminding me." Wen Qingxin smiled kindly.

After Wen Qingzhu left, he found that there were more flowers in the house.

When she saw this, she was angry!

This is all about finding fault, and we must get rid of her as soon as possible.

Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu found Jasmine and asked her to inquire about the origin of this Quan Mama.

As soon as Jasmine left, Wen Mingxuan came over with Ah Lai.

"Sister, I have something to tell you."

Seeing Wen Mingxuan looking at the subordinates on the left and right, Wen Qingzhu asked them all to retreat.

When there were only the two of them left in the room, Wen Mingxuan spoke nervously.

"Sister, today I saw Young Master Wan coming from Zimingtang, and I heard that he came over with a message, saying that there was a way to save the uncle, but it would cost 200,000 silver."

Wen Qingzhu's expression froze, at this time, Wanjia still has a way?

"Where did you hear that?" Wen Qingzhu held Wen Mingxuan's shoulder.

Wen Mingxuan pointed in the direction of the school: "Today is the last day of school, and the teacher has some tasks to give me, so I will stay for a while." When I was tidying up my things under the desk, Young Master Wan came in with my second brother, and they didn't notice me. ”

Wen Qingzhu patted him on the shoulder: "You did a good job, but you have to be careful about this kind of thing in the future." ”

When Wen Mingxuan left, Wen Qingzhu immediately sent Peony to Fuyuan.

Presumably this news will make Yang very excited.

If nothing else, Wen Guanbin still saved Wen Bogui.

However, 200,000 taels is a bit much, and the Wen family didn't make up 100,000 taels last time.

In the end, it was the money borrowed by the Wanjia, but I don't know if the silver has been paid off now?

That night, Uncle Wen came to the East Courtyard with a cold face.

Wen Qingzhu was eating.

When he saw him coming, he instructed Xi'er: "Add a pair of chopsticks." ”

Xi'er was just about to make a move, but Uncle Wen stopped her: "No need, I'm here to ask you, how much is your mother's dowry?" ”

The smile on Wen Qingzhu's face faded, and he waved his hand to let the idlers and others retreat.

"What do you mean by that, father?"

Uncle Wen looked at her fixedly: "Is there 200,000 taels?" ”

Wen Qingzhu frowned: "Father, your opening is 200,000 taels, although my grandfather is a doctor, he is kind-hearted, and most of the money he earns is given away, although he left a part for his mother, but it can't be so much!" ”

"What about the 100,000 taels of silver! I know your mother still has several shops and Zhuangzi! If you sell them all, there should always be 100,000 taels! Wen Shuquan's expression was very cold, but he was also very calm.

Wen Qingzhu looked at him: "What does my father want so much silver for?" This is my mother's silver, which was left to me and Xuan'er, not to my father? Doesn't the father know that the in-laws have no right to dispose of the dowry brought by the daughter-in-law! ”

"Your grandfather said that as long as I help redeem your uncle, he will let me take your uncle's place!"

Wen Qingzhu sneered: "What do you mean, if you use my mother's money to buy your official position?" ”

Uncle Wen was silent, and simply said: "Far more than that, the Wen family may also be mine in the future." ”

"Really? Are you sure? Now the Wen family's money is controlled by the fourth uncle. Wen Qingzhu hit the nail on the head, piercing his greedy desires.

"I'll give it back to you later." Uncle Wen's eyes deepened.

Wen Qingzhu realized that the retreating maids seemed to have been taken away.

"Father! Are you going to force me? Wen Qingzhu stood up and looked at him fixedly.

Uncle Wen smiled: "Zhu'er, how can this be called coercion?" I'm only borrowing your mother's money for the time being! ”

Looking at Uncle Wen's undisguised Gu Hope, Wen Qingzhu only felt disgusted in his heart.

Mother was really blind, and she actually met Uncle Wen, a wolf-hearted thing.

"Yes!" Wen Qingzhu thought about it for a moment and felt that this might be an opportunity.

Wen Shuquan's emotions converged and squinted at her.

She actually agreed?

"But I have one condition, don't say 100,000 taels, I also have 200,000 taels, but you have to ensure that the fourth uncle doesn't want the position of the heir of the Wen family!" Wen Qingzhu's smile gradually became gloomy.
