Mrs. Liu woke up suddenly, in the middle of the night after Wen Qingzhu's visit.
The first thing she did after waking up was to call Wen Guanbin over.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Liu asked Wen Bogui to bring Mrs. Wan in.
At the same time, he handed over the housekeeper's key to Wanshi in front of Wanshi.
After sending Wan Shi away, he called Yang over again.
After discussing in secret for half an hour, Yang left.
However, she sent someone to deliver a message to each room, and the money did not need to be paid by each room.
The person who came to the east courtyard and told this story was a little maid next to Song Yan.
After Wen Qingzhu heard this, he asked Lv Tao to reward him with silver.
After sending the little maid away, Wen Qingzhu looked outside the door in silence.
Liu's ability to defeat Aunt Ding was indeed quite skillful.
Just before dinner, Song Yan came to the east courtyard with a bunch of gifts.
"My slave, please give your regards to Miss Seventh." When Song Yan saw Wen Qingzhu, she quickly saluted.
Wen Qingzhu raised his hand: "You're welcome."
Having said that, her eyes fell on the maid behind Song Yan.
Song Yan stepped aside with a smile and explained: "These things were given to you by the old lady. She said that she caused trouble to your third wife before."
Wen Qingzhu watched coldly, without even a hint of a smile on his face.
Liu's gift is not easy to get.
Seeing that Wen Qingzhu was not very happy, Song Yan ordered the maids to put down their things and asked them to go out and wait.
When Song Yan was the only one in the room, she asked, "Miss, are you unhappy?"
Wen Qingzhu looked away and asked quietly: "Did grandma send anything to the sixth sister and the eleventh sister?"
"I gave it away, but it's not as much as Miss Qi's." Song Yan answered truthfully.
Wen Qingzhu frowned and asked coldly: "Does grandma still want to invite me over for dinner?"
"Well, that's what the old lady said indeed. She said that she has made you suffer a few days ago and will treat you well in the future." Song Yan noticed that Wen Qingzhu's expression became more solemn.
Half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu followed Song Yan to Fushou Hall.
"Xiao Qi, you're here, come here, come here!" Ms. Liu's body was fine, and she was almost fine after waking up.
Wen Qingzhu walked up to him as he was told and bowed politely and said hello.
Mrs. Liu personally stood up, helped her up, and pulled her to sit down on the small couch.
"Xiao Qi, it's true, I'm your grandmother, we're all part of the same family, why are you so polite!"
Wen Qingzhu nodded slightly and said in a low voice: "Grandma is the elder."
"You kid! You really have more rules than Eleven, but this is grandma's territory. From now on, you can do whatever you want, no matter what!" Ms. Liu held her hand and spoke cordially and cheerfully, just like a loving grandmother. .
Wen Qingzhu gently replied: "Okay."
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Liu saw that Wen Qingzhu still refused to speak, so she ordered her servants to serve the dishes.
This time, Mrs. Liu did not let Wen Qingfang and Wen Qingxin come over, but only asked Wen Qingzhu to accompany them.
For three days in a row, Wen Qingzhu was called over for dinner every time.
The wind in the Wen family has been changing rapidly, and the servants who used to look down on Wen Qingzhu began to flatter and please Wen Qingzhu.
But Wen Qingzhu always had the same indifferent attitude as before.
During this period, Uncle Zhong received news that the house had been chosen.
Wen Qingzhu took advantage of the night to visit the courtyard of Fu Lie's house.
Before Mother Ye could knock on the door, the door to the other courtyard opened.
In front of him stood Fu Lie, and beside him stood Nan Xiao, who was holding a lantern.
"Brother Fu, Miss Nanxiao." Wen Qingzhu took off the hat and said hello to them.
"Miss Wen, please come inside." Nan Xiao spoke first, then stepped aside to make way.
Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie looked at each other and walked in side by side.
When he arrived at the house, Uncle Zhong stood up and explained: "Young lady, you are finally here. The matters concerning the house and shop have almost been taken care of by me."
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "Where is that house?"
Uncle Zhong did not speak, but turned to look at Fu Lie, and then explained: "I looked at many places, but there were too few that met the requirements of the young lady. Finally, Mr. Fu introduced a house near here. "
As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Xiao immediately raised his voice and said, "Brother Lie's house was left to him by General Yang."
"Nan Xiao!" Fu Lie lowered his voice and looked a little unhappy.
Nan Xiao glanced at Fu Lie, then turned around and ran away.
Fu Lie didn't care about Nan Xiao, but said apologetically to Wen Qingzhu: "You don't have to be burdened. My family doesn't have many houses, but there are fewer people."
Wen Qingzhu pursed his lips and smiled: "I know, and I have no intention of rejecting Brother Fu's kindness."
"That's good." Fu Lie breathed a sigh of relief.
But Wen Qingzhu continued: "But the house near Lingyun Mountain is indeed rare. I will not let Brother Fu suffer."
"My family has enough money." Fu Lie said immediately.
But Wen Qingzhu shook his head and saw that Uncle Zhong, Mama Ye, and Mao Bo Dongzi were all there.
She looked out the door and said, "Brother Fu, I'll tell you this news alone."
"Okay." Fu Lie nodded, turned around and walked out with her.
Arriving in the corridor outside the door, Wen Qingzhu looked at him and asked slowly: "Brother Fu, have you felt that your internal strength has improved rapidly recently, and that your five senses are sharper than before?"
"Well, I know about this. Nan Xiao said that I took Tianshan Yuwucao." Fu Lie looked at her gratefully. There was something he wanted to say, but it was not the time yet.
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Miss Nanxiao actually knows about Tianshan Yuwucao?"
Fu Lie thought for a while and explained: "Nan Xiao's mother was born in a family of medicine in the south of the Yangtze River. She knows a lot."
Wen Qingzhu didn't know what was going on, but he felt a sense of crisis in his heart.
She didn't expect that Fu Lie would have such a powerful medical woman by his side.
The most important thing is that she seems to have never seen Nan Xiao in the Fu family in her previous life.
However, she was not allowed to think too much at the moment. Wen Qingzhu continued: "Then Miss Nanxiao is here, I feel relieved. Are you still a centurion now?"
Fu Lie frowned and said, "It is still the case for now, but I have made some small contributions in the past few days. Captain Chen plans to recommend me to the superiors as a deputy lieutenant."
"Deputy Lieutenant of the Pei Rong..." Wen Qingzhu racked his brains to recall what official position this Deputy Lieutenant of the Pei Rong held.
After thinking for a long time, she finally remembered.
The deputy lieutenant of Peirong is the ninth rank in the military attache, and is the lowest military attache position.
Compared with the centurion who is a reserve force, the deputy lieutenant is regarded as a formal position who eats the royal food.
"Do you think I rose too slowly?" Fu Lie looked at her expression and felt a little nervous.
Wen Qingzhu didn't notice for a moment and nodded to himself: "It's indeed a bit slow."
Hearing this, Fu Lie's eyes dimmed. He was really useless.
Then he heard Wen Qingzhu say: "But it is indeed not easy for you to be promoted among a group of nobles with your true ability."
Wen Qingzhu turned around, looked into his eyes seriously and said, "Now there is an opportunity. As long as you can do it, you can at least be promoted to the eighth rank!"
"What chance?" Fu Lie became serious. It was extremely difficult to be promoted to two levels at once in the camp on the outskirts of Beijing, unless -
He can make a big contribution.
Wen Qingzhu smiled mysteriously and said: "With your ability, you can definitely do it. On the ninth day of August, the second son of the Minister of War will go hunting in Lingyun Mountain. If I remember correctly, your camp in the suburbs of Beijing will conduct routine inspections. By then, If you apply, something will happen to that noble young man. If you can save him, I guarantee you will be promoted."
"How did you know something would happen to him?" It wasn't that Fu Lie was not caring about Wen Qingzhu, but what she said was too shocking.
Wen Qingzhu not only knew the whereabouts of the noble young master, but also knew that something would happen to him.
Unless someone deliberately plotted against the son of the Minister of War.
Wen Qingzhu regained her composure after seeing the sudden change in Fu Lie's eyes, and then she said, "You are right, this is a trap. When the time comes, you will know who is planning to murder the son of the Minister of War."
After discussing for half an hour, Wen Qingzhu and Fu Lie initially reached an agreement.
She traded a piece of news for a house owned by Fu Lie.
It seems that Fu Lie is at a disadvantage, but for Fu Lie's career, it will be the beginning of his destiny as the God of War.
When they arrived at the house, Wen Qingzhu asked Mother Ye to pay the money, and then asked Fu Lie to take them to the house two streets over.
The night is very dark and the stars are very faint.
When they arrived at the house that Fu Lie sold to Wen Qingzhu, everyone looked around.
I just felt that it was quiet in front of me, and some fluorescent fireflies were flying among the grass and trees.
Mother Ye led the way with a lantern.
When she got to the house, Mother Ye lit the lights and candles in the house one by one.
Mao Bo lit the lanterns outside the house one by one.
After a while, the inside and outside of the house became bright.
Wen Qingzhu glanced inside the house. Although there was a little dust here, it could be seen that there were no traces of human activity.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu walking and looking, Fu Lie explained behind her: "This house was originally left to my mother by my father, but my mother preferred the south courtyard just now, so the north garden here was left idle."
Wandering from the front yard to the backyard, looking at the elegantly decorated courtyard, Wen Qingzhu said with emotion: "My uncle has a very elegant aesthetic. I think he has read a lot of books."
Hearing these words, Fu Lie fell into rare silence.
Wen Qingzhu, who was walking in front, thought of something, stopped quickly, turned around and apologized: "I'm sorry for reminding you of Shang Xin's past."
Fu Lie slowly raised his head, with a forced smile on his face: "It's okay."
Wen Qingzhu secretly regretted why he brought up this matter!
She knew clearly that Fu Lie's father had no choice but to marry into the Yang family.
If it hadn't been for something that happened to General Yang later, Fu Lie might still be called Yang Lie now.
After seeing it, Wen Qingzhu asked Uncle Zhong to move over overnight.
Now that he has decided to manage his power well, Wen Qingzhu must seize the time.
After returning to the house and sitting down, Wen Qingzhu asked Uncle Zhong: "Are all the shops in the capital ready? It is best to complete the handover by the end of August."
Uncle Zhong seemed to have encountered some difficulty and said hesitantly: "Most of them are ready. However, there is a shopkeeper in Wanrentang left behind by the master who seems to be suspicious. I don't dare to go too far. Maybe it won't be handed over at the end of August." Wanrentang.”
"Wanrentang?" Wen Qingzhu was a little worried. Two or three shops had refused to cooperate before, and Wanrentang was the one who took the lead in causing trouble.
Although Fu Lie later helped suppress it, the other two drug stores changed shopkeepers.
But the new shopkeeper of Wanrentang was recommended by the previous shopkeeper.
She heard from Mama Ye that the current Chai shopkeeper seemed obedient, but seemed difficult to deal with.
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu said: "I should be free two days before August 15th. Then I will go and see the Chai shopkeeper in person."
"You've made me worry about it, Miss." Uncle Zhong was a little embarrassed.
After handling the matters outside, Wen Qingzhu returned to the Wen family under the escort of Fu Lie.
But as soon as she returned to the east courtyard, Lu Tao came to report quickly.
"Miss, Aunt Yue was here before, but the servant said that you had gone to bed and asked her to come back tomorrow."
Wen Qingzhu's eyebrows narrowed slightly: "Aunt Yue is coming to see me at this time?"
"Yes, I look at her and she seems to want your help with something. It should be related to Fushou Hall." Lu Tao thought of Aunt Yue's words during the day and had a guess in his mind.
Wen Qingzhu nodded. Mr. Liu had been a little too nice to her recently.
Aunt Yue is right to have some ideas.
