The third lady of the metropolis had a generous dowry, but she didn't expect that she would be so generous.
The old lady is not unaware of Aunt Wu's actions in the past few years.
But Mr. Wen didn't want to renew his marriage, so the old lady could only praise Aunt Wu.
The reason why I never mentioned this matter is that I couldn't stand Aunt Wu's short-sightedness and stared at Lu's dowry.
When she took a look today, she found that the Lu family's dowry was extremely rich.
Touching the bracelet under the armhole, Song Yan had a lot of thoughts.
Although she was favored in front of the old lady, she was far inferior to Zi Yan.
"Don't worry, Miss Seven, I will take this matter to heart." The smile on Song Yan's face was a little more sincere, and she decided to hug Wen Qingzhu's money tree for the time being.
After sending Zi Yan away, Wen Qingzhu continued to count the books.
At noon, Xi'er brought lunch.
Looking at the four dishes and one soup on the table, yesterday it was ginseng and native chicken soup, and today it has become tomato and egg drop soup.
Wen Qingzhu picked up his chopsticks and asked while eating, "The people in the kitchen didn't make things difficult for you today, did they?"
Xi'er pursed her lips, as if she had something to say.
Lu Tao beside him frowned: "The lady is asking questions! Just tell me what happened, and the lady will make the decision for you!"
"It's Xiao Tao next to Miss Twelve!" Xi'er lowered her head and gritted her teeth and said, "Today's soup was originally squab soup, but Xiao Tao suddenly appeared and stole your soup."
Wen Qingzhu laughed out loud. This Wen Qingmei was indeed too tender.
But I didn't give her face, so I will come back with revenge today.
Narrow-minded, it seems that there won't be much of a threat in the near future.
After finishing lunch, Wen Qingzhu put down his chopsticks.
Xi'er cleared the table, and Wen Qingzhu told her: "From now on, when you go to get the meals, no matter what the mothers in the kitchen say, let the people in the West Courtyard and Tingqinxuan finish picking them first, and then you can get them, you know."
"Yes, I have remembered this." Xi'er nodded obediently.
After Xi'er left, Wen Qingzhu stood up and took Lu Tao to a wing in the backyard.
"Miss." Shaoyao was looking at a stove. When she saw Wen Qingzhu coming, she immediately turned around and said hello.
Wen Qingzhu walked to the stove, picked up the rag and opened the lid of the jar.
The rich fragrance hits your nostrils.
After closing the lid, Wen Qing turned around and asked Shaoyao: "I think you know a lot about herbal medicine. Are you willing to learn medical skills from me?"
Hearing this, Shaoyao suddenly raised his head and looked at Wen Qingzhu in disbelief.
Following Wen Qingzhu these days, Shaoyao noticed all her medical skills.
After she came to her senses, Shaoyao immediately knelt down, kowtowed and thanked her: "Thank you so much, Miss Seventh, for your kindness! I am willing!"
"Get up and take care of this jar of soup first, and wait until you have it ready and take it to the front hall."
"My slave, I obey." Shaoyao stood up, her voice trembling.
After leaving the penthouse, Wen Qingzhu returned to the study and continued to look at the account book.
Lu Tao stood beside her and waited on her, and asked a little jealously: "Why do you teach Shaoyao medical skills? She is a child of the Wen family and not one of ours. Why are you so nice to her?"
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said: "Shaoyao's father suffered from dysentery. He took medicine for two years and it didn't heal. He even lost his position as a manager at the beginning of this year. Otherwise, she would not come to our east hospital. She is here for my medical skills."
"She actually has an ulterior motive!" Lu Tao was a little angry.
"It's not scary to have ulterior motives. What's scary is that people's hearts are not enough." Zhang Taoqing looked out the window, her eyes gradually blurred.
When the Youshi hour comes, peony will be delivered on time to make up the soup.
After letting her put it down, Wen Qingzhu asked her, "Can you read?"
"This slave knows something." Shaoyao bowed his head and replied.
"This medical book is for you. You read it first. If you don't understand anything, come and ask me." Wen Qingzhu handed her an old blue-covered medical book.
Shaoyao took it excitedly and kowtowed again to say thank you: "I am willing to work as an ox or a horse for you, even if I die."
Wen Qingzhu responded and asked her to step back.
"Let's go, call Jasmine in, and let's go to Zimingtang to see Mingxuan." Wen Qingzhu stood up and decided to take the initiative.
Two quarters of an hour later, the three of them arrived at Zimingtang.
As soon as Wen Qingzhu entered Wen Mingxuan's courtyard, Alai immediately greeted him.
"Miss, the young master is waiting for you inside."
Wen Qingzhu asked as he walked: "How is Mingxuan's health these days? Is there anything abnormal?"
Alai answered one by one, and Wen Qingzhu felt relieved.
When he arrived in the study, Wen Mingxuan stood up immediately when he saw her coming.
"Sister!"
Wen Qingzhu stepped forward, looked at the books on his table, and said with concern: "You have been resting so much these days, you don't have to work so hard."
Wen Qingzhu hopes that he will be safe and happy more than letting him get ahead.
Wen Mingxuan came out and pulled her to sit down at the small table.
"I know everything Sister said. It's just that my father will test my homework tomorrow and I have to review it carefully."
The two were talking when Aqi suddenly came in from outside.
"Master, Miss Eight is in the Lotus Pavilion. I heard that Miss Seven is here. I would like to invite Miss and Master to come over and practice calligraphy together."
Thinking that Wen Qinghe helped her last time and Wen Mingxuan rarely went out, Wen Qingzhu nodded and said, "Okay, we'll go there right away."
"Sister!" Wen Mingxuan was a little anxious. He still had to review carefully.
Wen Qingzhu asked everyone to leave, leaving only her and Wen Mingxuan in the room.
"Mingxuan, do you believe sister?" Wen Qingzhu knelt down and looked at him levelly.
"I believe it." Wen Mingxuan was a little at a loss as to why Sister A was so serious.
Wen Qingzhu held his shoulders and said seriously: "If you believe Sister, just listen to Sister. Go out to play with me today, and tomorrow my father will check your homework. You must make two mistakes."
"Why, why..." Wen Mingxuan didn't understand.
If he hadn't studied hard and made his father look at her differently, Wen Shuquan would never have visited his sister.
Wen Qingzhu didn't know what he was thinking, but if the trees were beautiful in the forest, the wind would destroy them.
"Do you know why Aunt Wu tried her best to poison you?" Wen Qingzhu asked with serious eyes.
Wen Mingxuan shook his head.
"Because you are smarter than Wen Mingqian and work harder than Wen Mingqian. Even though you are only five years old, your future achievements will definitely be greater than his. My father will naturally like you more. Your and my status will naturally rise. If you are weak and sick, you will not have the energy to study at all. Woolen cloth?"
After listening to Wen Qingzhu's words, Wen Mingxuan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something.
Seeing that Wen Mingxuan had understood, Wen Qingzhu continued: "People's hearts are unpredictable. Aunt Wu and the others are destined to be mortal enemies. What you have to do now is to hide your clumsiness and make yourself look like there is no threat to Wen Mingqian."
"But if I disappoint my father, he won't listen to me. Go see my sister more often. What will you do if you are bullied alone in Yanyuan?" Wen Mingxuan said, his voice gradually choked up.
Wen Qingzhu's eyes turned red instantly, tears fell like rain, and he hugged Wen Mingxuan tightly.
"Don't worry! Sister will protect herself in the future! She will also protect you!"
