Wen Qingzhu turned around and looked at Wen Mingliang quietly: "Ninth brother, my grandfather is dead. Our whole family must observe filial piety for my grandfather. It is better that we go out less often. As for the King of Chu, he is not something you can afford." of."
"I don't mean to cling to him. I just met His Royal Highness King Chu by chance two years ago when he was just a prince. I have always thought that he is a good person. If he wants to see you, there must be something important."
Seeing Wen Mingliang's frightened and serious expression, Wen Qingzhu couldn't help but stretched out his hand and touched the top of his head.
Only then did he realize that Wen Mingliang was already a little taller than him.
"Mingliang, you are still young. You should take advantage of these two years of observing filial piety to study hard and try to be a scholar. You are very talented in reading. You may even be ranked second in the rankings in the future. In a few years, you scholars will be better. Your status will gradually increase."
Wen Mingliang didn't understand what she meant, and Wan Zegang and her were confused.
Wen Qingzhu said the last thing: "You know people but not their hearts. You can't tell whether her heart is black or white when you see someone every day. It's better that you have less contact with King Chu."
Wen Mingliang wanted to say something else, but Wen Qingzhu had already left.
After two full days, the separation of the Wen family was finally finalized.
What was sent to Sanfang was the three thousand taels of silver mentioned that day, which had been converted into silver.
As for the old house of the Wen family, it was bought with a lot of money.
The people from the big house and the fourth house searched around the Wen family but couldn't find the land deed or house deed, which was worth at least 20,000 taels of silver.
They were getting angry, and the third room had already begun to salute.
As early as before, Wen Shuquan had already taken a fancy to the house.
However, Wen Qingzhu asked Lu Tao to deliver a message to Ye's mother. She had a separate courtyard and planned to go there.
In the afternoon, Uncle Wen came over.
"What do you mean?" Today at the mourning hall, Uncle Wen could see that the emperor valued his daughter very much.
Vaguely, he heard some rumors that the emperor wanted to reverse the case of his father-in-law.
This is not a trivial matter. He was a witness back then.
If the case is overturned, he will definitely be implicated.
Now the emperor likes Wen Qingzhu. As her biological father, he separates the family and does not live with his father, but lives alone in another courtyard.
This is very imaginative.
Wen Qingzhu was looking at the account book. After a long time of recovery, he slowly raised his head: "Father, are you worried that the emperor's redress of grandfather's case will implicate you?"
Uncle Wen's eyes were dark and he didn't speak.
Wen Qingzhu asked Shaoyao to take down all the ledgers, then turned to look at Wen Shuquan: "Don't worry, I won't make you look bad. I will stay in the house you bought for two days, and then go to another courtyard. "
"I saw Tian Chong helping you today." Wen Shuquan said again.
Wen Qingzhu was slightly surprised: "My father even noticed this. All I moved was my mother's dowry. Do I need to report to my father where I moved it? Is it possible that my father thinks that my mother's dowry belongs to you?"
Her words became older and more sarcastic, and in the end, Uncle Wen could only throw down his sleeves and leave.
After watching Uncle Wen leave, Wen Qingzhu's face darkened and he ordered Shaoyao: "Go and call Jasmine. I want to see who dares to stare at me!"
Three days later, a second-class maid died in the west courtyard of Yanyuan and was sent to a mass grave by Tian Chong in front of Aunt Wu.
A mother in Huayuan lost her footing and fell into a pond. She was not rescued in time and drowned.
A concierge in Fuyuan suddenly contracted the plague, and even after taking medicine, he died that night. Yang sent people to burn the woman overnight.
The woman's family came to make trouble, so Yang gave them money to go back.
After fifteen years, the four rooms of the Wen family were finally divided.
Mrs. Liu returned to Wen Jihua and his wife to support her, and Mrs. Wan took away half of her money on the grounds that she had raised Wen Guanbin for several months.
Wen Zhongcong was supposed to have 1,500 taels of silver, but Wan refused to give it. He only gave him 500 taels and told him to get out of the Wen family.
On the morning of the 16th, He took a letter of divorce and handed it to Wen Zhongcong.
Wen Zhong subconsciously wanted to hit someone, but was knocked over by Xiaoman from He's side.
"Zhong Cong, let's get together and relax. I'll take care of my children, and I don't want a penny from your Wen family." He's expression was unusually calm.
Wen Zhongcong jumped to his feet: "You bitch! If I hadn't given you the gift of marrying you! You would have become an old girl and have no one now! You actually dare to ask me to divorce you! Don't even think about it! You... Don’t ever think of leaving me for the rest of your life!”
Wen Qinghe winked at Xiaoman.
Xiaoman rushed forward unceremoniously and punched Wen Zhongcong several times in the stomach.
"Puff puff!"
Wen Zhongcong was so angry that he didn't eat because his boss had deducted money from him. He was suddenly beaten and spit out acidic water all over the floor.
"Second Master, Xiaoba originally called me Heli Shu, but I thought that after being married for so many years, I have to give you some face. I asked Second Master to sign this letter of divorce as soon as possible."
He looked at Wen Zhongcong and felt no more waves in his heart.
Wen Zhongnong did not dare to take action. He only dared to curse and picked up the divorce letter under Xiaoman's pressure.
After taking a look, Wen Zhongcong became angry: "What do you mean! Shuiqi is my son! Why did you take him away!"
"Zhuo Qi is also my son! What's more, he has been taken away by your biological mother and his whereabouts are unknown! If you can find Shuo Qi now, I will let him go to you! Can you!"
Speaking of this, He suddenly became excited.
Aunt Ding went into Fushoutang's warehouse, and what she never expected was that she would be taken away by Wen Mingqi.
What saddens her the most is that as a father, Wen Zhongcong is not worried at all and still eats and drinks every day.
This became the last straw for He, and she was completely disappointed with Wen Zhongcong.
He didn't care about his daughter, He's family, but he still thought that his daughter was despised, but Shuanqi was so smart and cute, and he was a direct descendant, so Wen Zhongcong still didn't care.
If Wen Zhong never signs or stamps, she will let Xiaoman beat him to sign and stamp.
Anyway, with the help of Miss Seven, she quietly made a fortune, which was enough to deal with the government.
"Then... didn't my aunt take her away? Would she treat Shuanqi badly?" Wen Zhong was unsure in his heart, but he was a man and couldn't lose face.
He sneered and didn't reply at all.
Seeing this, Xiaoman tried to take action again, Wen Zhongcong was really scared.
He also knew that the relationship between He and Wen Qinghe was okay, but he might still suffer in the end.
Anyway, he still has a son, so it doesn't matter if he loses one.
After taking the divorce letter, He quickly took her daughter away.
Before leaving the Wen family, she went to the east courtyard of Yanyuan.
In the front hall.
Mrs. He led Wen Qinghe and a kind of domestic servant, and kowtowed to Wen Qingzhu three times seriously.
"Thank you very much, Miss Seventh, for your great kindness. I have nothing to repay. I will wait until I have the opportunity to come back to the capital after I have returned to Qi. I will stand up and come back to thank Miss Seven for my kindness."
After Mrs. He took the divorce letter, she was no longer a member of my Wen family, and naturally she was no longer Wen Qingzhu's second uncle.
"Second aunt, please get up quickly." Wen Qingzhu was also feeling a little uncomfortable. It was really difficult for a daughter of the He family to go out.
But if he continues to live with Wen Zhongcong, I'm afraid it will be even harder.
So Wen Qingzhu did not interfere with her decision.
"I'm really sorry. I really didn't expect that Aunt Ding would leave the capital with Shuiqi. Outside the capital, I couldn't find any more information. I only knew that they went all the way south."
After Wen Qingzhu helped He up, he gave her some instructions.
Mrs. He nodded while wiping her tears: "Anyway, I'd like to thank you for your help. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know where to look for Zhou Qi."
In the end, He insisted on paying back the money she had borrowed. Wen Qingzhu wanted to refuse, but thinking of He's soft-spoken personality, she still accepted it.
After they left, Wen Qingzhu asked Jasmine to prepare some things for the journey and send them to He and the others.
On the twentieth day of the first lunar month, a group of people from Yanyuan followed Wen Shuquan and left the Wen family.
When I arrived at the door, I saw the stewards of the main room and the fourth room, each greeting the bricklayer.
If you can't find the house deed and title deed, the house won't be sold.
The big house and the fourth house were reluctant to part with such a nice house, so they finally decided to split it into two and build a wall in the middle to isolate it from the Wen family's mansion.
The new home is in Qingshui Alley, which is further away from the palace, but the environment is quiet, and there are also scholars living nearby.
Although the neighbors are not wealthy, the atmosphere is very good.
When they arrived at the house, Wen Qingzhu went in and followed the servants to the backyard.
This house is much smaller. In the backyard, except for a small courtyard with a gate in the middle, there are only two small courtyards separated by moon gates on the left and right sides.
When they passed by, the girl leading the way pointed to the small courtyard in front: "Miss, please come this way."
Wen Qingzhu looked away and understood in his heart that the small courtyards on the left and right were prepared for Aunt Wu and Aunt Yue.
But the place is much smaller, and the entire backyard is not as big as the east courtyard in Yanyuan.
Fortunately, Wen Qingzhu didn't have many things, and the only people he brought over were Mama Ye, Lu Tao, Shaoyao, and two little girls who were very handy with them.
After settling in, Wen Qingzhu discovered that there were two side rooms in her small courtyard, so he decided to give up the main room.
I sent Lu Tao out to inquire about it, and then I found out that Aunt Wu lived in the small courtyard on the east side, and Aunt Yue lived in the small courtyard on the west side.
There are three study rooms in the front yard, one each for Wen Shuquan, Wen Mingqian and Wen Mingxuan.
However, Wen Qingzhu didn't plan to stay there permanently, so he had his things moved to the west wing.
Just as I was packing my things, I heard the voices of Aunt Yue and Wen Qingmei outside.
"It's inside." Lu Tao led them in.
Aunt Yue glanced at the small room and said hurriedly: "Why did the master arrange you here? Why don't I switch with you? Although the courtyard to the west is not big, the main house is still quite big."
Wen Qingmei nodded: "Yes, yes, this place is too small, not even one-third of the size of Tingqinxuan."
"Meier! We have started our own business with your father! This will be our home from now on!" Aunt Yue immediately reminded Wen Qingmei.
Wen Qingmei knew that she had said the wrong thing and nodded hastily: "Yes, my daughter knows."
The second bedroom is very small, not to mention the study, and even the bathroom cannot be separated.
However, Wen Qingzhu liked cleanliness, so he asked his servants to separate a corner on the west side.
There is a bed on the east side, and the dresser on the southeast side of the bed has been replaced with a smaller one, and only a few boxes can be placed on the end of the bed.
The screen was removed, only the bead curtain was lowered, and the cloth curtain was rolled up.
There was no room in the middle of the main room, so a book shelf was placed against the wall, with a small round table and four stools in the middle.
As for the west side, there is a desk facing the window in the front, separated by a screen in the middle, and a bathtub and other toiletries are placed in the back.
At this time of day, it would be good to lower the thin gauze curtain on the west side and take a look.
