After this topic was revealed, Wen Qingzhu had already made up his mind to completely collapse Wanrentang.
Wen Qingzhu turned to Tian Chong and asked, "Have you found out everything about the situation inside?"
"The situation of Wanrentang is roughly clear. That shopkeeper Chai is very shrewd, not the shrewdness of ordinary people. The villain only knows that Wanrentang should be completely under his control. In addition, regarding the accounting issues, he did it in front of the villain. I wrote part of it, but I didn’t see much of it. But there weren’t many customers at that time, so it didn’t have much practical effect.” Tian Chong expressed his conclusion.
Wen Qingzhu was silent for a moment and then asked: "If I want Wan Ren Tang's reputation to be completely ruined within a month, what can you do?"
"This-" Tian Chong was stunned.
At this time, Nan Xiao said calmly: "It's very simple, just let the patients who are destined to die go to see a doctor."
"But there are not so many patients who are bound to die." Tian Chong questioned.
Nan Xiao suddenly fell silent.
Wen Qingzhu sighed and said: "Steward Tian, the prosperity of the capital is the accumulation of the flesh and blood of countless common people. The prosperity is only its surface. You can learn more about it in places where light does not shine."
Nan Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Wen Qingzhu, and suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Wen seems to know a lot about things in the capital?"
"No, I don't understand. I just know how things develop. Light and darkness have always complemented each other." Wen Qingzhu explained with a slight smile, not afraid of Nan Xiao's gaze.
"Then what did Miss Wen want to ask when you invited me over?" Nan Xiao asked again.
Wen Qingzhu turned to look at the patients coming in and out of Wanrentang and said, "I would like to ask, what happened in Beijing recently, and why did the number of people seeing doctors and taking medicine suddenly increase sharply?"
"Miss Wen is indeed not an ordinary person." Nan Xiao felt very complicated. She did not expect that what Wen Qingzhu thought of was far-reaching.
"Many people who built the Emperor's Mausoleum died. In order to conceal this matter, the Ministry of Works hired many temporary workers." Fu Lie suddenly said.
Wen Qingzhu asked again: "It should be more than just this, what else is there?"
Nan Xiao spoke at this time: "Last year after the death of Queen Zheng, there was a snowstorm in the south, but what was reported by the local government was just an ordinary minor disaster. The court allocated a symbolic amount of money, but in fact the situation was very serious. I originally I was collecting herbs in the south and had no choice but to come back early."
"The refugees have arrived in the capital?" Wen Qingzhu found that the problem was more serious than she thought.
Fu Lie shook his head: "No, those refugees were all stopped in Kangcheng. Those who can come to the capital are those who have some wealth and are relatively smart."
Wen Qingzhu felt that something was wrong. The nearest city across the capital was Luocheng, and the other side was Kangcheng.
"Who is the prefect of Kangcheng?" Wen Qingzhu suddenly asked.
"It's Yunfeng." The person who spoke was Tian Chong.
Everyone turned to look at him and saw him continue: "The Third Master was already studying the map last month. At that time, he marked all the prefects of Kangcheng, Luocheng, and the villain happened to take a look."
Wen Qingzhu thought of a terrible thing, the prince might be implicated.
"Brother Fu, there may be some action in Daying Road in the suburbs of Beijing at the end of the year. You should be careful." Wen Qingzhu looked at Fu Lie seriously. She was very worried.
…
At night, Wen Qingzhu lay on the bed and tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
Before dawn, news came from the pine smoke of Fushou Hall.
The old lady invites you.
Wen Qingzhu had to get up early to freshen up.
Songyan stood outside the curtain waiting for Wen Qingzhu, while whispering the news about Fushou Hall.
"The old lady has been in a bad mood these past few days. The matter between Master Wan and Miss Twelve was not kept secret last time. Everyone in the Wen family knew about it. Miss Seventh must not bring Miss Twelve with her when she goes there this time. ”
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "It's okay, grandma won't implicate me."
"But Miss, you still have to pay attention. Yesterday, the old lady called Miss Six and Miss Eleven over again." Song Yan was worried that Wen Qingzhu would fall out of favor again.
Wen Qingzhu did not answer this question, but asked another matter: "How did Zi Yan deal with it in the end?"
Hearing Zi Yan's name, Song Yan suddenly trembled all over.
Wen Qingzhu saw Song Yan's defeated face through the mirror. She concentrated and asked, "Zi Yan is dead?"
"Hmm..." Song Yan's voice was full of fear.
Seeing her like this, Wen Qingzhu didn't ask any more questions.
Anyway, it won’t be long before Jasmine will send the news.
Half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu took green pottery peony to Fushou Hall.
When she entered the room, she found that Wen Qingfang and Wen Qingxin had already arrived.
"Grandma, sixth sister, eleventh sister." Wen Qingzhu walked up and said hello one by one.
Mrs. Liu glanced at her and then at the door.
Wen Qingzhu didn't say much, and quietly waited for Liu's instructions.
"Are you feeling better?" Ms. Liu looked at her and asked.
Wen Qingzhu whispered: "It's better, but I still need to rest for a while."
"I hope you went out yesterday? Aren't you feeling well?" Mrs. Liu had a look of dissatisfaction on her face.
"Ahem." Wen Qingzhu deliberately coughed twice and said in a low voice, "It's really because there is a problem with the shop outside and Mother Ye can't solve it. I really need to go out."
"Hmph! I'm so weak, why wouldn't I hand it over to your father?! Do you think your father will embezzle your mother's dowry?" Mrs. Liu became more and more angry as she looked at Wen Qingzhu's appearance.
Go out when you are in good health, but refuse to go out when you are in poor health.
There is no such precious young lady as her in the entire Wen family!
Wen Qingzhu knew that Mrs. Liu was angry about her refusal to go to Jiang's house.
This time the Jiang family held a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet, which clearly had ulterior motives.
Who is Jiang Guogong? Does he need to invite the Wen family, a low-level family
It was obviously for him.
The last time Jiang Liu suffered a loss at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, it seemed that the Jiang family was not going to let him go.
"The granddaughter told her father that the father said that this was left by her mother to her granddaughter, so he asked her to take care of it by herself. If she needed help, she would go to him. Last time, her granddaughter went to ask her father, and her father sent Manager Tian to follow. "Wen Qingzhu explained slowly, his voice light and airy.
She used the reason that she was stimulated by Wanze's incident last time as an excuse to stop going to Fushou Tang to accompany him for meals.
This makes Mr. Liu lose face.
But her important purpose was that she didn't want to go to a Mid-Autumn Festival banquet.
"Humph." Ms. Liu was speechless and could only hum softly to express her dissatisfaction.
After sitting down, Wen Qingzhu quietly drank tea.
Half an hour later, there was movement outside the house.
After a while, Wan and Yang walked in one after another.
Wen Qingzhu looked at them in surprise and called them over at this time. What on earth was going on
"Mother, the Jiang family's clothing materials have been delivered." Wan walked to Mrs. Liu and said softly.
Yang also said: "The tailor was also sent by the Jiang family."
Wen Qingzhu secretly thought something was wrong.
Sure enough, a very serious-looking nanny walked in at the door, leading a few maids and tailors.
I saw this grandma walking up to the old lady without looking away.
"I've met Mrs. Wen." Grandma saluted, her movements as regular as if she was being controlled.
Wen Qingzhu glanced sideways at the maid tailor behind the grandmother. It seemed that she couldn't escape.
"Auntie Gui, please get up. I'm sorry to trouble you." Mrs. Wan greeted her with a smile and personally helped the person named Auntie Gui up.
After Mother Gui thanked Mrs. Wan, she looked at Wen Qingfang and Wen Qingxin next to Mrs. Liu, and then asked, "I wonder who Miss Wen Qi is?"
"It's this one." Wan said, pointing to Wen Qingzhu who was sitting upright below.
Aunt Gui immediately turned around and walked to Wen Qingzhu.
She looked at Wen Qingzhu twice from top to bottom, then from bottom to top.
Finally, he knelt down and saluted: "I have met Miss Wen Qi."
"Mommy, please get up." Wen Qingzhu put down the tea cup and said lightly.
Aunt Gui in front of her seemed a little surprised, but she didn't say anything more. Instead, she waved the tailor behind her to come forward: "Miss Wen Qi, I was ordered by Mrs. Jiang Guogong to measure the size of the lady's clothes."
The warmth team glanced at the tailor who looked gentle, and said with a slight smile: "Please worry about it, Mrs. Guiguo, I am ill and have not recovered. I may not be able to attend the Mid-Autumn Festival banquet. Measuring the size of my clothes is just a matter of time." Forget it."
Aunt Gui frowned instantly.
Ms. Liu, who was sitting in the upper position, exhaled through her nose and slapped the table: "Xiao Qi, don't be rude! This is because the Duke and Madam care about you! Let's measure the clothes first, and then we'll talk about the rest."
But Wen Qingzhu stood up stubbornly and knelt in front of Mrs. Liu: "Grandma, Xiao Qi is really not suitable to go out. Doctor Fang said before that Xiao Qi cannot be stimulated, so it is best not to go out."
"How dare you talk back!" Ms. Liu's blood surged. She never expected that Wen Qingzhu would not give her face in front of outsiders.
"Grandma, my granddaughter is thinking about grandma! She is also thinking about the Jiang family." Wen Qingzhu replied calmly.
Before Mrs. Liu could reply, Aunt Gui beside her raised her eyebrows and asked, "I wonder why Miss Wen Qi thinks about the Jiang family?"
Wen Qingzhu leaned down and did not reply to Mother Gui's words. Instead, she whispered to Mrs. Liu: "Grandma, if I go out, it will be fine if nothing happens. An accident will be fatal. My granddaughter is not in good health." Doctor Fang and the Lei family all know about it. If something happens, it will bring bad luck to the Jiang family and make my grandmother suffer a bad name."
"What an insult!" Mrs. Liu calmed down and seemed to understand what Wen Qingzhu meant.
"It's definitely not a good thing if something happens to the granddaughter in the Chiang family. There are many people talking about it, so it's inevitable that rumors will spread. My grandmother was promoted not long ago. Now is the time when she needs to take shelter from the limelight. If someone catches her, she will definitely add fuel to the fire. In order to please the Jiang family, my grandmother forced her granddaughter to come to the Jiang family regardless of her safety, which caused this accident." Wen Qingzhu specifically mentioned Wen Guanbin.
After all, in the Wen family, the only person who could make Liu hesitate was Wen Guanbin.
After saying this, Mrs. Liu fell silent.
Aunt Gui looked down at Wen Qingzhu's back, feeling a hint of appreciation in her heart.
Sure enough, the person that his sixth young master fell in love with was indeed extraordinary.
Wen Qingzhu didn't know what others were thinking, but she knew that Mrs. Liu would definitely help reject this matter for Wen Guanbin.
After the room was silent for a quarter of an hour, Ms. Liu said: "Mother Gui, I'm really sorry to let you go all the way in vain. If you came here for Xiao Qi, you might be disappointed. According to Doctor Fang, We in the Wen family all remember that after all, it is the body of the granddaughter of the Wen family, so we still have to pay attention to it."
"So that's it. Mrs. Wen doesn't have to blame herself. Since Miss Wen Qi can't go, it's the same as measuring the clothes of the two ladies around you." Aunt Gui looked at Wen Qingfang and Wen Qingxin with a smile.
The two people who were stared at suddenly felt horrified. They were planning to let them go on behalf of Wen Qingzhu!
