On this day, Lei Yan and Lei Shuo came together.
Wen Guanbin happened to be at home, so he went to Wen Shuquan's place with him.
Today Wen Shuquan originally wanted to find out about the strength of the Lei family.
But Wen Guanbin was here, so he could only stop thinking about it.
This side of the east courtyard of Yanyuan.
Wen Qingzhu entertained Lei Shuo in the pavilion in the backyard.
"Sister Shuo, try it. These snacks are made by the chefs from Jiangnan. They taste very good."
Lei Shuo didn't like sweets, but Wen Qingzhu kindly invited her, so she had no choice but to try them.
After taking a bite, she was stunned: "It's not sweet, but it tastes good!"
"Yes, last time you said you liked sweet food, so you asked the cook over there to find a way not to make sweet food." Wen Qingzhu opened another soup can.
She personally scooped a bowl of soup for Lei Shuo.
"Sister Shuo, try this again. It will be good for your body. It can relieve the problem of menstrual cramps when you come to Kuishui."
Lei Shuo looked at her in disbelief: "How come you know everything? It makes me want to marry you back!"
Wen Qingzhu smiled: "Whenever Sister Shuo needs you, Qingzhu will be there at your call."
After Lei Shuo finished drinking the soup, she started to talk about the business: "But will your father really choose our Lei family? After all, the fifth prince is a prince. If there is an accident, he can still-"
Lei Shuo pointed to the palace in the north.
Wen Qingzhu smiled softly: "I don't want him to choose, but I just want to hold him back temporarily. His desire will never be satisfied."
"Then next time at the Wen family's banquet, are you sure you can make..." Lei Shuo coughed, lowered his voice and continued, "Can you make Jiang Yuancheng give up on you?"
Wen Qingzhu looked in the direction of the camp on the outskirts of Beijing: "Sister Shuo, don't worry, as long as I'm in the Wen family, it will be very convenient for me. What he told his father was that he wanted a girl from the Nawen family, but I am not the only one in our Wen family. Miss."
"What do you mean?" Lei Shuo looked in the direction of the West Courtyard and Tingqinxuan.
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "There is someone who really likes him. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I can just make them happy."
Lei Shuo frowned. She looked at Wen Qingzhu drinking the soup, but she was very confused in her heart.
She always felt that Wen Qingzhu was hiding something.
But that day is not far away.
When Lei Yan left that day, he invited Wen Qingzhu to visit Lingyun Mountain in front of Wen Guanbin.
Now is a great time to see the snow.
If Wen Guanbin was not here, Wen Shuquan would definitely agree.
But Wen Guanbin was here, so he still hesitated.
But with just such a hesitation, Wen Guanbin noticed something unusual.
Before Uncle Wen could speak, Wen Guanbin asked in advance: "Fourth Young Master Lei, Xiao Qi has not left the cabinet yet. Isn't it appropriate to go out with you alone?"
Lei Yan immediately explained: "Don't worry, Mr. Wen, my sister Lei Shuo will be here too, and I will have other friends as well."
"Is that so?" Wen Guanbin turned to look at Wen Shuquan thoughtfully.
Uncle Wen raised his head and agreed: "Then come and pick up Zhu'er tomorrow. Miss Lei Liu is still at Yanyuan, so I'll go with you to pick her up."
"Thank you, Uncle Wen." Lei Yan looked very excited, but felt bitter in his heart.
What is this!
It was clearly agreed that we would only be performing for two or three days!
Unexpectedly, Uncle Wen would try different ways to invite him over every day, so he could only stay with him with a stiff face.
"You go ahead." Wen Guanbin stroked his beard.
After Wen Shuquan and Lei Yan said goodbye, they left Zimingtang.
When their figures disappeared from sight, Wen Guanbin immediately called Wen Dahai in.
He ordered with a stern face: "Go and find out. When did the third child have such a deep relationship with the Lei family?"
…
On the second day, Wen Qingzhu dressed up carefully.
Lei Shuo and Lei Yan came to pick them up at home.
But when leaving the Wen family, Wen Qingzhu discovered that Wan Ze was also here.
He immediately came over to greet Lei Yan.
"Fourth Young Master Lei."
Lei Yan couldn't bear to see a playboy like Wan Ze, but in the Wen family, he could barely smile.
But when he came outside, he said expressionlessly: "Master Wan."
"Are you going out for fun?" Wan Ze didn't care about Lei Yan's rudeness, but became more polite.
"So what!" Lei Yan became impatient, "Get out of the way, we're leaving."
Lei Yan waved his hand unceremoniously to Wan Ze to leave, and at the same time told the groom to start.
"Master Lei, go slowly." Wan Ze greeted him respectfully with a smile on his face.
It was only when their carriage was far away that Wanze's expression darkened.
Don’t think your Lei family can be proud for long!
snort!
On the carriage where Wen Qingzhu was.
Lei Shuo was teaching Lei Yan: "You are rude to others again! How did my mother teach you when she was at home!"
Lei Yan whispered: "Mother is not here."
"How dare you talk back!" Lei Shuo was very dissatisfied. "If you meet a villain in the future, you will suffer a loss! How many times have your father and grandfather told you that no matter who it is, you must be polite!"
"I know, I know!" Lei Yan picked his ears carelessly.
But he was still dissatisfied in his heart. That boy Wanze was just a jerk, so polite!
Wen Qingzhu was still thinking about what happened when he met Wan Ze just now.
Lei Shuo was really helpless and could only call Wen Qingzhu: "Sister Qingzhu, tell me about my brother! He will suffer from this in the future!"
Wen Qingzhu then raised his head, smiled and said: "It's okay, Wan Ze can't make trouble, he is just a coward. But when you meet Mrs. Wan in the future, be polite, her methods... are a bit vicious .”
"Mrs. Wan?" Lei Shuo thought for a while, "Is it the one from the Xia family?"
"Well, Mrs. Wan is Consort Xia's aunt." Wen Qingzhu explained.
Lei Shuo lowered his head and began to think.
When Lei Shuo seemed to have figured it out, Wen Qingzhu asked again: "Sister Shuo, can you go back to Yanyuan and help bring Wen Qingmei over?"
"Why take her with you?" Lei Shuo didn't understand.
Wen Qingzhu explained: "Didn't you meet Wan Ze just now? I think he may have picked up Wen Mingyu and Wen Qingfang to go to Lingyun Mountain together."
"No way!" Lei Yan's eyes suddenly widened.
Lei Shuo nodded and asked the driver to pull over.
She went out to ride a horse, then turned around and rushed to Wen's house.
After Lei Shuo left, Lei Yan asked her again: "Wan Ze really wants to come to Lingyun Mountain too?"
"Well! If Brother Yan doesn't believe it, let's make a bet?" Wen Qingzhu said with a smile.
Lei Yan glanced at Wen Qingzhu warily, then shook his head and said, "I won't bet with you. There must be a reason why you are so smart."
After a moment of silence, Lei Yan asked again: "But why did you go to pick up your concubine? This time we go out, we have something serious to do!"
Wen Qingzhu smiled mysteriously: "I picked her up because Wan Ze is also going to Lingyun Mountain. I was afraid that he would disturb us, so I specially asked my twelfth sister to come over and hold him back."
"Can she do it?" Lei Yan expressed serious doubts.
In less than an hour, they finally arrived at the other courtyard at the foot of Lingyun Mountain.
At the same time, Lei Shuo himself drove a carriage and chased after him.
As soon as Wen Qingzhu got out of the car, he saw a trembling Xiao Xing coming out supporting a pale Wen Qingmei.
She walked over, held Wen Qingmei's other side, and asked with concern: "Are you okay? I don't have any motion sickness medicine with me yet."
"No, it's okay." Wen Qingmei knew that this opportunity was rare, so she didn't dare to ask for more.
"That's good." Wen Qingzhu admired Wen Qingmei's resilience.
As long as she seizes this opportunity, Wen Qingmei might actually be able to enter the Wan family.
After all, Mrs. Wan is afraid of Mrs. Wan, so Wan Ze would not dare to disobey Mrs. Wan.
But people like Wan Ze are not real cowards, he must be dissatisfied.
Once he gets a chance, he will definitely rebound.
After a few people made some repairs in the other courtyard, they set off again to Lingyun Mountain.
This time they were not going to the red plum forest, but to another more famous attraction - the snow viewing platform.
The snow viewing platform was built decades ago.
Every year before and after heavy snowfall, many people go to the snow viewing platform to enjoy the snow.
Both literati and ordinary people in the capital like to come here.
The snow viewing platform is not a small place.
Instead, it is a large and open place.
There are dozens of pavilions and several inns here.
Looking towards the south, there are endless mountains and rivers.
After the heavy snowfall, the scenery is extremely beautiful.
In less than half an hour, Wen Qingzhu and the others finally arrived at the snow viewing platform.
They got off the carriage and a steward came to greet them immediately.
"Masters and ladies, please come this way."
The steward led them to a second floor.
There is a huge signboard at the door with three words written on it - Third Floor.
After arriving on the second floor, all the refreshments are available.
There are no walls or windows on three sides of the second floor, only rolled up bamboo curtains.
At present, the bamboo curtains on the left and right sides have been down, and only the bamboo curtain on the south side has been rolled up.
The view is wide and it’s a good time to enjoy the snow.
After sitting down, Wen Qingzhu looked at the passers-by downstairs and felt filled with emotion.
She hasn't been here for a long time.
Not long after sitting down, Lei Yan excused himself and left.
Wen Qingzhu introduced the surrounding environment and cultural scenery to Wen Qingmei.
Lei Shuo couldn't help but frown as he listened.
Wen Qingzhu has never been here before, so why does she seem so familiar with everything here
"Has Seventh Sister been here before?" Wen Qingmei asked Lei Shuo's question.
Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly: "The book has its own golden house, and the book has its own beauty like jade. If you read more books after twelve years, you will know a lot of things. This snow viewing platform has existed for many years, and it will naturally be recorded in the book."
"So that's it. My sister will study more in the future." Wen Qingmei nodded respectfully, admiring Wen Qingzhu in her heart.
But before Wen Qingzhu could speak, a voice suddenly sounded from next door.
"The lady said that there is a golden house in the book, which is certainly true. There are also many books that record the environment and customs of the snow viewing platform. However, after listening to the lady's words, I don't think that the book will record such detailed information. .”
The three of them looked to the right and saw an upright figure standing upstairs opposite the bamboo curtain.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said nothing.
Lei Shuo naturally would not interrupt, and Wen Qingmei followed them closely and kept silent.
Soon, Lei Yan came back.
He walked to the south railing and looked toward the road on the right.
Originally, he wanted to say that Wan Ze and the others were really here, but in the end he saw a young master who was a little familiar and a little strange.
"Fourth Young Master Lei, nice to meet you." The handsome young man raised his hand and said hello to Lei Yan.
Lei Yan thought about it for a long time, but he really couldn't remember who he was.
Lei Shuo was also surprised, so he simply walked over and lifted the curtain to take a look.
"Master Pei!"
"It turns out that Miss Lei Liu is also here. I'm glad to meet you." The man whom Lei Shuo called Mr. Pei said in a gentler tone.
Wen Qingzhu sat in his seat without moving, searching in his mind constantly.
Mr. Pei whom the Lei family knew—
Could it be that he is the direct grandson of Prime Minister Pei
At this moment, Lei Yan suddenly remembered who he was!
He quickly raised his hands and said hello: "It turns out to be Pei Yi! Disrespectful!"
"You don't have to be polite, Fourth Young Master Lei!" Pei Yi looked at the two figures sitting motionless here. Which one is the so-called seventh sister
