The Fu Mansion of the capital is in the Zhuangyuan Alley on the left side of the main gate of the Imperial City.

The carriage stopped at the door of Fu's house, and Dongzi walked down and handed out his sign.

Wen Qingzhu sat in the car, lifted the curtain of the carriage, and looked outside.

A short time later, an old servant came out.

"I'm sorry, the young master has already seen the son, please ask this little brother to go back and wait quietly."

Dongzi suddenly became anxious: "But Childe has been in for two hours, I'm just going in to see what's going on, isn't that okay?" ”

The old servant was kind, but his tone was firm: "I'm really sorry, please wait a while." ”

Wen Qingzhu, who was sitting in the car, touched the sign given to her by the county lord of Pingshu.

When she was in the Wei family before, the county lord of Pingshu gave her a piece of the Liang family's hand card.

It was to thank her for saving Lord Wei Zheng.

Wen Qingzhu went out this time, thinking that Wanrentang's affairs were not easy to handle, so he took it out.

I didn't expect it to come in handy now.

After getting out of the carriage, Wen Qingzhu walked to the gate and handed out the hand card of the county lord of Pingshu.

"This old man, I want to meet Fu Yu and Fu Gongzi."

As a result, the old servant looked at Wen Qingzhu's hand and was shocked: "Pingshu County Lord? ”

"No, I'm not the county lord of Pingshu, I'm a friend of the county lord of Pingshu, the county lord owed me a favor before, so he gave this hand card, I don't know if the county lord's face can see Fu Yu's son?"

Wen Qingzhu's calm words carried a hint of threat.

The old servant pondered for a moment, and he finally relented.

"Miss, please."

Dongzi was overjoyed: "Fortunately, you have the hand of the county lord." ”

Wen Qingzhu followed the old servant inside, and told Dongzi: "Don't say anything later, just follow this old man to see Fu Yu's son." ”

"Okay." Dongzi nodded, he knew that the Fu family was a century-old family and had strict rules.

In some ways, even the Jiang family in the palace can't compare.

The old servant who walked in front heard their conversation clearly, and he looked sideways at Wen Qingzhu.

I don't know why, I always feel that Wen Qingzhu's temperament and style behind him are extremely similar to those nobles in the palace.

Walk through the corridor of the Moon Gate and walk through one garden courtyard after another.

They finally arrived at a gazebo in front of a lotus pond.

Fu Yu and Fu Lie stood in the pavilion, the two of them facing the lotus pond, with their backs to them, talking about something.

Hearing a voice behind them, both of them turned around at the same time.

When they saw Wen Qingzhu, Fu Lie and Fu Yu were shocked at the same time.

"Miss Wen." The two men spoke in unison.

As soon as the words fell, Fu Lie and Fu Yu retracted their gaze at the same time and looked at each other.

Fu Lie was full of vigilance, and Fu Yu was very surprised.

Wen Qingzhu walked over, looked at Fu Lie and said, "Are you okay?" ”

Fu Lie turned his head: "It's okay, how can you come in?" ”

As he spoke, he looked at Dongzi.

Dongzi hurriedly explained: "Miss Wen used the hand of the county lord of Pingshu. ”

"The county lord actually gave you her hand?!" Fu Yu looked at Wen Qingzhu's gaze and became more and more serious.

Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly: "It's just the county lord's love, and this hand was originally convenient for me to enter the Liang family, but I didn't expect it to be used to enter the Fu family first." ”

After a pause, she asked again, "I don't know if the matter between Master Fu and Brother Fu has been discussed?" ”

"You call me Master Fu, but you call him Brother Fu, Miss Wen is very angry with me." Fu Yu deliberately made a joke, but in fact, he was looking at Wen Qingzhu's expression under the light veil.

Wen Qingzhu walked to Fu Lie's side, and said with a smile: "Brother Fu is an ordinary general, which is different from Fu Gongzi's famous family, of course the little girl has to be polite to you, this is not a raw point, but a respect for Fu Yulang." ”

It was obviously a compliment, but it was particularly harsh when it stopped in Fu Yu's ears.

But did Wen Qingzhu say anything unpleasant, Fu Yu didn't know how to answer for a while.

The corners of Fu Lie's mouth chuckled, and then he turned his head to Fu Yu and said, "Master Fu, I'm sorry, a friend has come over, and I'll leave first." ”

"Am I being inhospitable? Brother Xian wants to leave so soon? "Fu Yu wants to stay with Fu Lie more, but the person he was waiting for hasn't come back yet.

Wen Qingzhu probably guessed Fu Yu's thoughts, and said with a smile: "I have something to do with Brother Fu today, he has been in the Fu family for two hours, since the matter has not yet come to a conclusion, then let's discuss it next time." ”

"But—"

Fu Yu wanted to say something, but was coldly interrupted by Wen Qingzhu: "Fu Gongzi keeps people like this, doesn't he have any unsightly intentions?" ”

Fu Yu was dumbfounded, he looked at Wen Qingzhu in shock, what could he think of something unseemly!

"Since there is nothing unsightly in mind, then Fu Gongzi might as well say it directly, it is better than Brother Fu waiting here," Wen Qingzhu was aggressive, making Fu Yu difficult to resist for a while.

At this time, the old servant from before came over: "Young master, Madame is back, she said that your affairs are done, let's go over there first." ”

Hearing the old servant's words, Fu Yu knew that he had lost today's opportunity.

"The two of you go slowly, my mother has an invitation, so I won't send it." Fu Yu is still the appearance of a handsome son, polite and courteous, which makes people unable to give birth to any disgust in their hearts at all.

But Wen Qingzhu was different, and still said coldly: "Thank you." ”

Fu Yu choked, constantly recalling in his mind that he should not have offended this Miss Wen.

Walking out of the gate of the Fu family, Wen Qingzhu saw Nan Xiao by the carriage at a glance.

"Brother Fu!" Nan Xiao just shouted Fu Lie, and suddenly found that Wen Qingzhu was also standing by Fu Lie's side.

Her face sank suddenly.

When they walked down, Nan Xiao asked sullenly, "Why is Miss Wen here?" ”

Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly: "I met Dongzi on the way, and I was worried about Brother Fu, so I came over to take a look." ”

Nan Xiao glanced up at the Fu Mansion behind her, turned around and stopped talking.

Although she didn't know how Wen Qingzhu entered the Fu Mansion, she couldn't compare to Wen Qingzhu just because Wen Qingzhu brought Fu Lie out.

The three of them got into the carriage and left the Fu Mansion all the way. 4E

Not long after they left, another carriage came out of the alley opposite the Fu Mansion.

The carriage stopped at the entrance of the Fu Mansion, and the curtain was lifted through a gap.

A pair of eyes appeared inside, and they looked at Fu Fu.

After a moment, the voice inside said, "Let's go, go to the incense shop." ”

……

The courtyard at the foot of Lingyun Mountain.

Wen Qingzhu got out of the car, turned to Fu Lie and said, "Brother Fu, I've been out for too long, I'm going to Nancheng to have a look." ”

"I'll send you there." Fu Lie immediately went to lead the carriage.

Nan Xiao stood to the side, pursing her lips and looking at them.

She knew very well that she was not qualified to say anything.

"Yes, but can you trouble Miss Nanxiao to go with you? There are some things I want to ask you about. Wen Qingzhu turned his head to look at Nan Xiao.

Nan Xiao was surprised, she didn't expect Wen Qingzhu to invite her to go with her.

"Me?"

"Yes, Miss Nanxiao is more familiar with the affairs of the capital than me, and Brother Fu is in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing all the year round, and there are many things that he doesn't know." Wen Qingzhu's voice was very gentle, she really needed Nan Xiao.

Although when Nan Xiao was there, he was a little uncomfortable.

"Yes." Nan Xiao looked at Wen Qingzhu strangely, but didn't say much.

The three of them got into the carriage again and went to the Wanrentang in Nancheng.

Arrived in front of the original tea shed, after stopping the carriage, Wen Qingzhu lifted the curtain.

"Mother Ye, peony."

The three people sitting in the tea shed immediately got up and turned their heads to look.

"Miss!" The three of them hurriedly walked out.

Wen Qingzhu got out of the car, and Fu Lie and Nan Xiao got out of the car together.

Mother Ye and Peony knew about Fu Lie, but they hadn't seen Nan Xiao.

And Tian Chong had never seen one, but he felt that Fu Lie's eyes were a little familiar.

Wen Qingzhu first pointed at Fu Lie and said to Tian Chong: "This is Brother Fu, my friend, the last time Wanrentang mattered, it was Brother Fu who helped." ”

Then she pointed to Nan Xiao and introduced them again: "This is Nan Xiao's girl, her medical skills are very good, and she is currently living with Brother Fu." ”

"Living with Fu Gongzi? Is it Fu Gongzi's sister? Mother Ye subconsciously asked.

"Yes." Fu Lie nodded.

Nan Xiao wanted to explain, but she could only swallow it back.

Wen Qingzhu beckoned them to sit in the tea shed.

"Brother Fu, Miss Nanxiao, I went out today to solve the matter of Wanrentang, and now I have changed the shopkeeper, but the accounts are still hidden."

Wen Qingzhu first explained the purpose.

Nan Xiao looked at Wanrentang and said with some surprise: "Wanrentang is actually your property?" ”

Hearing this, Wen Qingzhu sensed the deep meaning in Nan Xiao's words, so he asked, "Miss Nan Xiao knows Wanrentang very well?" ”

Nan Xiao looked at Wen Qingzhu and said intently, "You don't know it, do you?" ”

Wen Qingzhu became serious: "Wanrentang sells a healing elixir, and here in Nancheng, this pharmacy has the second best business. ”

"Business is average." Tian Chong looked over there, he had followed Mother Ye in to inquire about the news just now.

Nan Xiao shook his head, pointed to the signboard of Wanrentang and said: "On the surface, Wanrentang only sells ordinary medicines, but secretly people with a bit of power know that Wanrentang actually has a healing elixir, and I heard that it is a prescription specially left by Imperial Doctor Lu before. ”

"Grandpa's recipe?" Wen Qingzhu frowned, she didn't know anything about this.

Nan Xiao thought for a while, took out a small porcelain bottle from her waist, poured out a pill, and handed it to Wen Qingzhu: "That's it, Miss Wen can take a look." ”

Wen Qingzhu took it, stained it with his fingers, and tasted it on the tip of his tongue.

In an instant, she exclaimed, "This is—"

But halfway through, she stopped.

At this moment, Wen Qingzhu's heart can be described as turbulent.

This healing medicine is indeed effective, but it lacks a medicine.

The most important thing is that this flavor medicine has certain side effects.

Wen Qingzhu clearly remembered that his grandfather had this recipe burned before.

"When did this drug first appear?" Wen Qingzhu noticed something unusual.

Fu Lie explained: "It was about six years ago. ”

"Six years ago!" Wen Qingzhu's palms tightened.

Wasn't that the time when my grandfather had an accident?

Wen Qingzhu felt that his head was a little explosive, and countless pieces of information instantly appeared in front of him.

"Ahh Wen Qingzhu suddenly hugged his head and called out in a low voice.

Mother Ye sat beside her and hurriedly supported her: "Miss! What happened to you? ”

Wen Qingzhu bit the tip of his tongue and let the pain sense forcibly suppress those unbearable memories.

"I'm fine."

Fu Lie almost stood up just now, Nan Xiao looked at Wen Qingzhu with a solemn expression.

Tian Chong looked at her thoughtfully.

Except for Mother Ye and Peony, everyone has their own thoughts.

After Wen Qingzhu calmed down his emotions, he raised his head and said calmly to Nan Xiao and Fu Lie: "You'd better not take this medicine anymore, its side effects will generally be latent for three to ten years, if you are a person who walks the rivers and lakes, it may be no problem to take it, but your life is still very important." ”

"What are the side effects?" Nan Xiao continued to ask.

Wen Qingzhu stared at Nan Xiao and asked, "Do you know that this medicine has side effects?" ”

"I know, the previous shopkeeper said it, but he didn't say the specific side effects." Nan Xiao's expression was unusually serious, she had taken this medicine very Fu Lie.

Wen Qingzhu took a deep breath and said, "The side effect is that your limbs will gradually shrink until you die. ”
