The next morning, while Wen Qingzhu was still sleeping, he vaguely heard the sound of green pottery outside.
She originally wanted to rest again, but thinking of Aunt Yue last night, she got up anyway.
"Green Tao!" Wen Qingzhu shouted in a daze.
As the door opened, a stream of hot air blew in through the curtains.
Lu Tao hurriedly walked in: "The lady still heard it."
"What?" Wen Qingzhu was confused.
At this moment, Aunt Yue's figure appeared at the door.
She stood inside the door, looking here from a distance, and said hello respectfully: "I've seen Miss Seven, can I come in now?"
Wen Qingzhu thought for a moment and waved her in.
Aunt Yue was overjoyed and called out to the door: "Meier, come on, come in and see your seventh sister."
The two men quickly opened the curtain and came in.
When Wen Qingmei appeared in front of him, Wen Qingzhu felt his eyes blurred.
Looking closely, she found that Wen Qingmei was dressed very gorgeously today.
A rose-red dress, a moon-white blouse, a shawl embroidered with peonies, and an exquisite lily bun on her head.
"Twelve sisters?" Wen Qingzhu was startled. This outfit was completely inconsistent with Wen Qingmei's previous outfits.
Aunt Yue was surprised when she saw her, and quickly explained: "Mei'er has grown up gradually, and she has become more and more flirty. Recently, she likes to dress up like this."
Wen Qingzhu nodded, and then asked: "I was really sleepy last night and couldn't see Aunt Yue right away. I'm really sorry."
Now that Aunt Yue is asking for something from her, how can she dare to accept her apology: "Seventh Miss, you are so polite! You are the legitimate daughter of the Wen family. It is my fault that I disturb you late at night."
Wen Qingzhu smiled slightly. Aunt Yue was indeed as good at talking as ever.
Although I knew she was flattering, I felt very comfortable hearing it.
"There's no need to be polite, Aunt Yue. Let's talk about something. This afternoon, my grandma made an appointment with me to go to the Fushou Hall to enjoy the flowers. I have to go there early."
Wen Qingzhu turned around and waved for Lu Tao to come over and help her get dressed.
Aunt Yue walked forward diligently and helped Lu Tao deliver the clothes: "I would like to ask Miss Qi to take Mei'er with her to see the world. After all, she is old, and it is not good to stay in Yanyuan all the time."
Wen Qingzhu paused. Aunt Yue seemed to know something.
"Miss, if the old lady really doesn't like it, please let Mei'er come back." Seeing her not moving, Aunt Yue thought Wen Qingzhu was worried that Mrs. Liu wouldn't like it.
Wen Qingzhu turned around and looked at Aunt Yue quietly with his dark eyes: "Auntie, tell me straight, who does the twelfth sister want to meet at Fushou Hall?"
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Yue froze.
Wen Qingzhu had asked her several times to control Wen Qingmei and not get close to Wan Ze.
But now that she knew what happened between her daughter and Wanze, Aunt Yue had to be cruel.
She suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "It's Young Master Wan Zebiao who is coming! I have already heard about it. Today, the old lady invited Mrs. Wan to come over to enjoy the flowers together. Young Master Wan Zebiao will also come."
Wen Qingzhu turned to look at Wen Qingmei next to him, and then realized that Wen Qingmei had also knelt down at some point.
Looking at their persistent looks, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but sigh: "Hey... do you know that Master Wan is not a good man, and the twelfth sister deserves a better man. After she is married, she can only be a concubine, are you willing to do it?"
These words touched Aunt Yue's heart, but Wen Qingmei was determined to marry only Wan Ze.
Coupled with some reasons, Aunt Yue finally chose to compromise.
"My concubine knows that if Mei'er gets married, her life may not be better than my current life, but Mei'er has fallen in love with Master Wan at first sight, and I can't bear to let her not think about food or tea all day long, so she I have no choice but to come to Miss Seventh."
Aunt Yue was crying while talking, which made Lu Tao almost unbearable.
But Wen Qingzhu was not moved. She knew Wan Ze's temperament deeply.
The most important thing is that she also knows that Wan Ze will eventually marry a very cruel wife.
If nothing else happens, within three years of waiting for the first wife to marry, Wanze's aunt and uncle will die one after another for various reasons.
"Lu Tao, let's get familiar with the clothes first. Aunt Yue and Twelve should go out and wait first." Wen Qingzhu didn't know why Aunt Yue was suddenly willing to change her mind, but she didn't want to lose Aunt Yue as a chess piece yet.
Half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu finished washing and walked out.
Aunt Yue and Wen Qingmei stood up immediately.
After Wen Qingzhu sat down, he smiled and said, "Auntie and twelfth sister, please sit down."
They sat down uneasily.
The old lady of the Wen family dislikes concubines and concubines very much. They cannot enter the Fushou Hall unless necessary.
But now the old lady likes Wen Qingzhu very much, and even no longer allows Miss Six and Miss Eleven to accompany her, leaving only Wen Qingzhu.
If she was willing to come forward, her Meier would definitely have a chance.
Wen Qingzhu drank tea for a while.
Not long after, Xi'er brought breakfast.
After she finished her breakfast leisurely, Wen Qingzhu asked, "Auntie, have you thought about it? The twelfth sister will be just an aunt in the Wan family at most."
Aunt Yue glanced at Wen Qingmei, and finally gritted her teeth and said, "Mistress, I have thought about it."
"Okay." Wen Qingzhu's lips curled up.
Looking at Wen Qingmei who said nothing, she was still very surprised.
Wen Qingmei was finally able to change Aunt Yue's mind.
You must know that in the past, Aunt Yue had always hoped that Wen Qingmei would marry as a wife, even if she was just a scholar from a poor family, she was willing.
"Then, did Miss Seven agree?" Aunt Yue suddenly raised her head and looked at Wen Qingzhu nervously.
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "Of course, it would be a beautiful thing for the twelve sisters to marry their sweetheart."
Hearing Wen Qingzhu's words, Wen Qingmei raised her head in confusion, her eyes were red.
"Thank you, thank you Seventh Sister..."
Wen Qingmei's voice was choked with sobs, and she looked forbearing and excited.
The smile on Wen Qingzhu's face did not diminish, and he continued: "But as an older sister, I still want to remind my younger sister that being the aunt of the Wan family is not that easy. Wanze's mother is the biological sister of Uncle Xian, and she is the sister of Uncle Xian. That kind of woman who grew up in a Lord’s family is not easy to deal with!”
"I know, but I have made up my mind." Wen Qingmei raised her chin and looked at Wen Qingzhu intently.
If Wen Qingzhu hadn't known Wan Ze's inner story, he would have thought that Wen Qingmei and him were in love.
The smile on Wen Qingzhu's face slowly faded: "When I say this, I'm not asking you to fight with Mrs. Wan, but to remind you that if you really get your wish and enter the Wan family, you must take good care of yourself. lived for more than a year."
As soon as these words came out, Aunt Yue's expression suddenly changed.
Wen Qingmei's lips trembled, but she didn't say anything in the end.
"Please, please make it clear to Miss Seven, is it true that Mrs. Wan cannot tolerate an aunt?" Aunt Yue's voice began to tremble.
She has been in the Wen family almost all her life. After becoming Wen Shuquan's aunt, she didn't even go out to Yanyuan much.
She could guess a thing or two about some things, but her vision was limited and she couldn't think of anything deeper.
Wen Qingzhu looked at them calmly and said quietly: "The last time the Twelve Sisters went to the Liang family with me to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet, I should have seen Concubine Xia from a distance, right?"
"I've seen it, I've seen it." Wen Qingmei remembered what happened that day, and her hands couldn't help but tremble.
She was outside the curtain and didn't know what was going on inside.
All I know is that Concubine Xia seemed to have had an accident, and later a dead maid was brought out.
Although no one else said it, Wen Qingmei had seen that maid and it turned out that she walked in alive.
When he came out, he was carried out sideways.
Seeing that Wen Qingmei seemed to understand a little bit, Wen Qingzhu nodded and said: "As long as you know, Concubine Xia and Mrs. Wan were both taught by Lao He and Mrs. Xianbo. If she can survive as the Crown Princess, she will naturally get rid of the obstacles that hinder her. Opponents, the Wan family are far inferior to the Prince's Mansion, so the twelve sisters probably know their situation."
"But, Master Wan is her legitimate son. Could it be that Mrs. Wan can't even tolerate an aunt?" Wen Qingmei already had a certain idea in her mind, but she still had no intention of giving up.
"Of course Mrs. Wan can tolerate her son's aunt." Wen Qingzhu chuckled, "The person who may be Master Wan's aunt must have Mrs. Wan's consent. Who is the most trustworthy? Of course, it is someone whom Mrs. Wan trusts and finds useful. , does Twelve Sister think she is such a person?"
Wen Qingmei's face instantly turned miserable. Although Wen Qingzhu didn't explain clearly, she already understood.
Wanjia's door is not that easy to enter.
But when she thought of Wan Ze, she became full of expectations.
Master Wan treats her differently.
"Please help me, Seventh Sister." Wen Qingmei bent down deeply and no longer hesitated.
Even if she is just an aunt, she accepts it. Now she is also an aunt, so she is living a good life.
More than half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu left Aunt Yue and his daughter to have lunch.
During this period, she asked Lu Tao to pick out a set of plain clothes for Wen Qingmei to change into.
When the people from the Fushou Hall came to invite him, Wen Qingzhu picked out another ruby gold hairpin for Wen Qingmei and inserted it into it.
"The twelfth sister is dressed up like this. Although she is plain, she can still make people's eyes bright." Wen Qingzhu took two steps back and kept praising Wen Qingmei.
Aunt Yue stood beside her with mixed feelings.
Looking at Wen Qingmei, I felt filled with joy.
Looking at Wen Qingzhu next to him, his heart suddenly became heavy again.
When we had lunch together just now, Wen Qingzhu made a request.
Wen Qingmei agreed, but she felt that this incident would only plunge her daughter into a deeper abyss.
"Let's go to Fushou Hall together." Wen Qingzhu turned around and took Wen Qingmei out.
When we arrived at Fushou Hall, the room was already full of people.
Mrs. Wan and Wan Ze were here, and Wen Qingzhu had seen them.
However, there was a young woman who looked somewhat similar to Concubine Xia, whom she had never seen before.
Looking at the woman's graceful and exquisite dress, Wen Qingzhu guessed that she must be Wan Ze's mother.
Xia, the eldest wife of the Wan family.
Mrs. Liu, who was sitting on the main seat, saw Wen Qingzhu coming in, and hurriedly waved with a smile on her face: "Xiao Qi! Come on, come on! Meet Mrs. Wan and Mrs. Wan soon."
Wen Qingzhu stepped forward quickly, and Wen Qingmei followed closely behind.
The moment she saw Wen Qingmei, Mrs. Liu's eyes flashed imperceptibly.
Arriving in front of Mrs. Liu, Wen Qingzhu bowed and said, "Grandma is well."
"Okay, okay, okay, okay." Ms. Liu nodded with a smile, deliberately ignoring Wen Qingmei.
She pulled Wen Qingzhu to her side, pointed at Mrs. Wan and Mrs. Wan and said, "This is Mrs. Wan, whom you have met before. This is Mrs. Wan, Xiaoze's mother, Concubine Xia's direct aunt."
"Mrs. Wan, Mrs. Wan." Wen Qingzhu greeted them one by one again.
"A few days ago, I heard the concubine mention the seventh Miss of the Wen family. I didn't expect that when I saw her today, I was really impressed. She is really talented and beautiful!" Mrs. Wan's eyebrows were curved into crescents, and she was smiling. Praising Wen Qingzhu.
Mrs. Wanlao nodded kindly: "That's not the case! Xiaoqi seems to be a lucky person. I heard that she has a very good relationship with the Lord of Pingshu County!"
"Really?" Mrs. Wan pretended to be surprised, picked up the handkerchief and covered her lips.
Hearing what they said, Mrs. Wen felt that her face was particularly bright, and she couldn't hide the smile at the corner of her mouth: "That's not true. Xiao Qi has a gentle temperament and is someone who is friendly to everyone. Except for the last time, Lord Pingshu The Hundred Flowers Banquet, and later I took Xiaoqi out for a trip."
