When it was almost time, Jasmine finally came back quietly.
"Miss, the nanny from the west courtyard is here to treat Aunt Wu."
Wen Qingzhu suddenly opened his eyes and smiled: "Aunt Wu is indeed smart."
This side of the west courtyard.
Aunt Wu sat at the table, trying hard to hold back her anger.
Standing in front of her was Wen Mingqian, pacing around anxiously.
"Auntie, why don't you stop taking that medicine for a while? Grandma said it might be a side effect." Wen Mingqian stopped suddenly and tried to persuade her.
Aunt Wu didn't answer, but Wen Qinglan next to her sneered: "What side effects! Aunt Wu has used this medicine several times, but it's only this time that something went wrong?"
"It's not a side effect!" Wen Mingqian was surprised.
Aunt Wu then spoke: "There is someone else's spy in our courtyard."
"who is it?"
Wen Qinglan raised her hand and taught him: "Brother, you don't have to worry about it. My aunt and I will handle the matters in the inner courtyard. What you have to do is to make your father only care about you!"
"But Aunt Yue is the housekeeper now, can you handle it?" Wen Mingqian was still worried.
Aunt Wu stood up and looked at him up and down: "Don't worry, the housekeeper's cards will come back to me sooner or later. Whether it's Aunt Yue or Wen Qingzhu, I will never be soft this time."
Wen Mingqian still wanted to speak: "But father -"
"Qian'er!" Aunt Wu scolded, "You are a manly man. What you should care about is your future, not the small things in the inner court. Have you forgotten? Your father hates men being detained in the inner court!"
Wen Mingqian lowered his head: "What my aunt taught me is that the child understands."
After sending Wen Mingqian away, Aunt Wu looked fiercely, stared in the direction of the west courtyard, and murmured to herself: "If you had a son, I would still be afraid of him. It's a pity..."
In the next two days, Uncle Wen stopped coming to Yanyuan.
Yanyuan's side was also unexpectedly calm.
Wen Qingzhu was sitting in the room, with a screen embroidered with the Eight Immortals wishing their birthdays.
"Miss, Miss!" Mother Ye hurriedly ran to the house.
Wen Qingzhu put down the needle and thread in his hand, stood up and helped Ye's mother: "What's wrong? What happened?"
Mother Ye sat down after her, panting for a long time before saying, "No, it's Mr. Fu."
"What's wrong with him?" Wen Qingzhu was a little nervous.
Mother Ye took out a brocade box and handed it to her: "Master Fu said that this is his thank you gift for saving your life last time."
Wen Qingzhu opened the brocade box and took a look.
On the sapphire blue brocade, there is an ancient jade pendant.
A green luan is carved on it, lifelike.
"This is..." She looked at the thing in front of her, and her heart was extremely complicated.
This jade pendant was given to her by Fu Lie when they got married in their previous life.
At first she thought it was just an ordinary jade pendant.
Later, in order to help Jiang Yuancheng, she randomly gave away the jade pendant.
It wasn't until much later that she accidentally discovered the jade pendant in his study.
Only then did she know that Fu Lie had exchanged the jade pendant at the cost of serious injury.
The reason is that this jade pendant has been passed down from generation to generation in their Fu family.
"Master Fu said, this is..." Seeing Wen Qingzhu's strange mood, Mother Ye stopped and asked, "Miss, what's wrong with you?"
Wen Qingzhu came to his senses and closed the lid: "It's okay. What did he say?"
"He said that this jade pendant is his precious thing, and he can only use this to repay your life-saving grace."
Two days later, there was finally movement in the west courtyard.
Jasmine told Wen Qingzhu: "Miss, Lu Yu is very likely to go out tonight."
Wen Qingzhu stood up, looked out the window and said, "I promised sister Qinghe last time that if I have time, I will teach her how to make lotus cakes, green pottery, and take out the lotus flowers from the ice cellar. Let's go to Liuyuan."
After preparing his things, Wen Qingzhu took green pottery and jasmine and went to Liuyuan.
When they arrived at Liuyuan, the little maid led them inside.
Just after passing through the corridor, Wen Qingzhu saw a small woman rushing over with a nanny.
Soon, people on both sides will make peace.
The respectful and cautious woman in front of her is none other than He, the wife of Wen Zhongcong, the second master of the Wen family.
"Miss Seventh." Mr. He was very surprised to see her coming.
Wen Qingzhu greeted him politely: "Second aunt, you won't be offended by the intrusion this time, right?"
Mrs. He hurriedly helped her up: "Miss Qi can't help her!"
"You are my elder, there is nothing I can't do." Wen Qingzhu was very polite, and then explained the reason for his visit, "I made an appointment with Qing He before to teach her how to make lotus cake. I just have free time today, so I came here."
Made an appointment with Qinghe
Shan He had never heard Wen Qinghe say this.
But she immediately told the nanny beside her: "Mother Bao, hurry up and call the eighth young lady out."
Aunt Bao turned around to call someone, and Mrs. He led her to the front hall.
Liuyuan is not big, there is only one main courtyard, so they quickly arrived at the front hall.
Shortly after sitting down, Wen Qinghe hurried over.
The moment he saw Wen Qingzhu, his eyes immediately lit up.
"Seventh sister! You are really here!"
"No!" Wen Qingzhu also stood up, "Since I promised you to come, I will definitely come."
"Seventh sister!" Wen Qinghe's eyes suddenly turned red.
The people in their second room are not welcomed by the old lady, so almost no one comes to Liuyuan.
She was very touched that Wen Qingzhu came today.
The two chatted for a while, and Wen Qinghe took her to the kitchen.
Along the way, Wen Qingzhu discovered that the second-bedroom Liuyuan was not only small, but also used the worst things.
The kitchen in Liuyuan is not even a quarter of that in Yanyuan.
There are only six people in total, including the mother who cooks and the woman who does odd jobs.
As soon as Wen Qinghe entered the door, he asked his mother who was chopping vegetables to step aside and occupy a chopping board.
"You guys will be busy later. Let Seventh Sister teach me how to make lotus cake first."
"But Auntie Zhen's Ruyi Meatball Soup hasn't been made yet..." The mother who was cooking was hesitant.
Wen Qinghe paused, glanced around the kitchen, pointed at another empty chopping board and said, "Go and do it over there."
The cooking mother looked over there, a little worried: "That chopping board is specially used for Aunt Zhen to make skin care products, and it cannot be moved normally."
"What?!" Wen Qinghe obviously didn't know either.
Wen Qingzhu looked over there. The entire kitchen was not big, and the chopping board occupied almost half of it.
It seems that this real aunt is not a good person either.
At this moment, a maid with a sharp face walked in.
"Auntie's soup is ready?"
"Come on, come on!" the cooking mother quickly replied.
The maid looked over and saw Wen Qingzhu, and subconsciously said: "Miss Seventh!"
Wen Qingzhu had no impression of the maid in front of him.
So she looked sideways at Wen Qinghe.
Wen Qinghe explained dullly: "She is Bizhu, the eldest maid next to the real aunt."
Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and smiled: "Since the real aunt wants to use the kitchen, let's go back and wait."
Although Wen Qinghe didn't want Wen Qingzhu to wait, she didn't want to embarrass her mother either.
So, they left the kitchen first.
Until she walked out of the kitchen, Wen Qingzhu could feel Bizhu's eyes following her closely.
Over in the kitchen, Bizhu saw that Wen Qingzhu had finally disappeared.
She then turned around and asked commandingly: "What are you doing here, Miss Seven?"
"Miss Seventh is here to teach Miss Eight how to make lotus cake." The cooking mother lowered her head and answered.
Bizhu thought for a moment, is the relationship between Miss Eight and Miss Seven actually so good
no! She had to tell her true aunt quickly.
As soon as she turned around, she suddenly turned back: "Hurry up and deliver it! Otherwise, your monthly fee will be deducted!"
"Yes!" The cooking mother tightened her hand on the apron.
In the front hall.
Wen Qingzhu and Wen Qinghe were chatting when a deliberately pinched voice suddenly came from the door.
"Ouch! Miss Seventh is here, why didn't you inform your maid!"
The two of them looked at each other and saw a woman dressed in gorgeous clothes walking into the room.
"Auntie!" Wen Qinghe stood up immediately and looked at her with a frown.
The person who came was none other than the real aunt of the second room.
She ignored Wen Qinghe at all and walked directly to Wen Qingzhu.
"My concubine has bowed to Miss Seventh." The real aunt was blessed and raised her eyelids to look at her, with an enchanting look on her eyebrows.
Wen Qingzhu said calmly: "Get up."
The real aunt was not angry either. She stood up and sat next to her. She turned around and ordered: "Biyu, bring up Yun Piansu."
jasper
Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but look up, but saw that the woman in front of him had already put her hair into a woman's bun.
After delivering the things, Biyu stepped aside and stood quietly.
Wen Qingzhu was extremely confused and kept looking at his true aunt.
This aunt is really good at it. Wen Qingxin was so dangerous before, but Biyu was still kept in the Wen family.
I just don’t know whether Biyu became Wen Zhongcong’s first wife or the fifth young master Wen Mingwei’s first wife.
"Miss Qi knows Biyu?" Aunt Zhen saw through Wen Qingzhu's doubts and asked with a smile.
Wen Qingzhu turned his face and ignored her, but said to Wen Qinghe: "It's a bit noisy here. Let's go out and walk in the garden."
"Okay!" Wen Qinghe had long agreed that the real aunt didn't like her.
Watching the two of them going out arm in arm, not taking her seriously at all, the real aunt's eyes gradually darkened.
"jasper!"
"My slave is here." Biyu stepped forward nervously.
"You stay here and watch. If there is anything strange about Miss Seven, come and tell me in time!"
After the real aunt finished speaking, she rolled up her sleeves and left.
Wen Qingzhu is in the small garden outside the front hall.
Seeing the real aunt finally leaving from a distance, they turned back.
As soon as he walked into the house, he happened to meet Biyu who was going out.
When Biyu saw them, she quickly pushed them aside, bowing her head and saying nothing.
After they entered, Biyu turned around and left.
Wen Qingzhu looked at the door and asked, "What's going on with Biyu?"
Speaking of this, Wen Qinghe became angry: "This shameless maid, just wanted to be the ninth brother's mistress, and now in order to stay, she even climbed into the fifth brother's bed! I don't know what dad thinks, He actually agreed to let Biyu stay!"
"What did they say to the Fourth Madam?" Wen Qingzhu was surprised. The Fourth Madam should not let Biyu go easily.
"I don't know! Anyway, it was my mother who said it!" Wen Qinghe was furious, "Shameless people are surrounded by shameless people."
After Wen Qinghe thought about it, Yang did not deal with Biyu.
Not right at all!
At this moment, a woman came to report from the kitchen.
"Miss Eighth, the kitchen is free. Mom asked me to invite you over."
