Wen Qingzhu raised his eyebrows but said nothing more.
The Prince's Mansion was now a stagnant place. Jiang Yuansheng knew that he had offended the emperor, so he simply stayed behind closed doors.
It's a pity that the princess has to suffer along with the prince.
When Mrs. Xia saw that Wen Qingzhu didn't explain anything and didn't even bother to say a nice word, her expression became even more worried.
Wen Shuquan didn't say anything, he just said: "We have accepted Mrs. Xia's post. When Mingyu gets married, we will definitely go back. Mrs. Xia, please don't worry."
Seeing Wen Shuquan being so rude, Mrs. Xia felt extremely upset.
Are they and Xianbo Mansion really in decline? Actually, even people like Wen Shuquan didn't take her seriously!
If it weren't for her husband's request, she wouldn't have come all the way!
Mrs. Xia became more and more angry as she thought about it. Seeing Wen Qingzhu stand up, she said to Uncle Wen: "Father, if everything is okay, my daughter will leave."
The main purpose of Mrs. Xia's coming here was to let Wen Qingzhu pass. How could she dare to get there? She quickly stood up and shouted: "Wait a minute, I have one more thing to say."
Upon hearing her words, Wen Qingzhu turned around and looked at Mrs.
Wen Qingzhu turned to leave, but Mrs. Xia finally couldn't bear it anymore and shouted out loud: "Miss Wen! This is your etiquette and upbringing!"
But Wen Qingzhu didn't bother to pay attention to her and walked out in a few steps.
Mrs. Xia behind her still wanted to speak, but was interrupted by Wen Shuquan.
As for what was said next, Wen Qingzhu didn't care at all. These things had nothing to do with her.
In addition to becoming familiar with Mrs. Ning, she also had another purpose, that is, it was necessary to understand how Wen Qinglan fell into Wan Bin's eyes and how she suddenly became proficient in medical skills.
While Aunt Wu and Mama You were away, Wen Qingzhu sent a little girl to call Xiaocui to the kitchen.
On the way to the kitchen, Wen Qingzhu suddenly appeared and stopped her.
"Tell me, what's going on with Wen Qinglan?"
Wen Qingzhu and Lu Tao suddenly appeared in front of her. Xiaocui was startled and couldn't help but look back and forth.
After confirming that no one was coming, Xiaocui took her behind the bushes and whispered: "Miss, the eldest lady can cure Wanbi, is it because she knows a little bit about witch doctors, or because the two in front know witchcraft? The mother-in-law taught her, and the servant has been suspected by her. In the past half month, Aunt Wu has not allowed the servant to be close to serve her. Mother You and Lu Yu have done it themselves. "
Wen Qingzhu nodded, Xiaocui looked very scared, looked left and right, and finally said: "Miss, if I have anything else to do, I will leave first. If there is any specific news, I will prepare it in the next two days and ask the fourth lady to give it to you." Bring the letter over there."
Seeing that Xiaocui was so scared, Wen Qingzhu didn't ask any questions and let her go.
After returning to the penthouse where he originally lived, Lu Tao opened the door and a puff of dust spurted out.
Lu Tao fanned the dust in front of her in disgust, and couldn't help complaining: "Didn't someone leave someone to clean it every day? They have to be lazy in such a small place!"
After entering, Lu Tao fetched water and wiped the desk and chairs before letting Wen Qingzhu sit down and write a letter.
Wen Qinglan was not in a hurry, but she wanted to find a reason to contact Mrs. Ning's eldest son.
After thinking for a long time, Wen Qingzhu started to write.
There were too many people staring at her now, so she had to be more cautious.
Just as I finished writing the letter, a voice like a star came from outside.
"Second Miss, this is a post sent to you by Mrs. Xia."
Wen Qingzhu collected the letter and looked at the post sent by Ruxing. He couldn't help frowning: "Now that the capital has just recovered and the Wen family is still observing filial piety, what kind of post does Mrs. Xia send?"
Ruxing explained respectfully: "I can't tell you, but Mrs. Xia later sent us away and said something to the master alone. The master accepted the post and asked the slave to deliver it to you, saying that after all, it is Mingyu in the future. It’s not good for us to refute the young master’s in-laws like this, not to mention the families have been separated, it’s just an ordinary flower viewing party, nothing.”
After staring at the post for a long time, Wen Qingzhu finally said, "Then let it go."
Ruxing left the post after putting it down.
Lu Tao walked over and took a look, and said with some confusion: "Isn't there some kind of Hongmen Banquet?"
Seeing how serious she was, Wen Qingzhu actually laughed: "You girl still knows the term Hongmen Banquet. If I can't think of anything unexpected, you should be trying to win over me and Wen Qinglan. After all, she is about to kick her now." Stepping through the gate of Prince Chu’s Mansion.”
After writing the envelope, Wen Qingzhu made some preparations and went to Ning's house next door.
When Mrs. Ning in the backyard heard that Wen Qingzhu was coming, she hurried out to greet her and brought her into the house.
After sitting down, Mrs. Ning ordered the girl to get snacks and make hot tea, very politely and solemnly.
But Wen Qingzhu, who only planned to come over and say a few words, was a little embarrassed.
Mrs. Ning personally brought the tea cup to her and asked aloud: "Miss Wen, come here, but what's the matter?"
Wen Qingzhu nodded: "It just happened to be a small matter. Isn't the plague still spreading in Luo City? I want to check the condition of the people there in the past few days, but I am not familiar with the place. I just heard Mrs. Ning say, your The eldest son is in Luo City, can I trouble him when the time comes?"
"It's such a simple thing, don't worry, I'll ask Xiu'er to send you a letter of divorce right now. I'll make sure he entertains you well then!"
Mrs. Ning agreed without even thinking about it, then turned around and asked the girl to go find Ning Xiu.
Seeing that Mrs. Ning trusted her so much, Wen Qingzhu felt a little embarrassed.
In fact, she had investigated in advance and found that Mrs. Ning's eldest son Ning Ping worked as a magistrate in the Luocheng government office and managed the household registration in Luocheng.
Household registration is more important. Although there are many general judges, Wen Qingzhu found out that Ningping's boss recognized him very much and gave him more power than ordinary general judges.
After chatting for a while, Wen Qingzhu went out. When he was about to get on the carriage and leave, he happened to meet Wen Qinglan who was coming back.
The carriage stopped in front of Wen's house. When Wen Qinglan got out of the car, Wen Qingzhu was getting on.
The two people suddenly looked at each other, their eyes facing each other, and Wen Qingzhu felt Wen Qinglan's obvious hostility.
But she didn't care, and withdrew her gaze and entered the carriage.
After returning home, Lei Shuo was already waiting for her at Luoying Pavilion.
"Sister Shuo, why are you here all of a sudden?" Wen Qingzhu walked up quickly, a smile from the bottom of his heart finally showing on his face.
After meeting Lei Xiao that time, Lei Shuo came over to help Wen Qingzhu.
The relationship between the two has improved a lot.
Lei Shuo pointed inside the house: "Go in first, it's still a bit cold outside, be careful of getting sick."
"Sister Shuo, I am a doctor and have medical skills. I will pay attention to this aspect." Although Wen Qingzhu said this, his heart was still very warm.
Because Lei Shuo truly cares about her.
When the plague was rampant not long ago, Wen Qingzhu spent a lot of energy and often went to the places where the plague was most serious. There were a few days when he appeared to be the precursor of contracting the plague.
However, Wen Qingzhu was alert in advance, controlled his rest time and recovered.
But that time, Lei Shuo was quite frightened. If anything happened, he would like to come here and ask her about her situation.
After entering the house and sitting down, Lei Shuo brought a letter: "My grandfather asked me to give this to you. He said that the origin of the plague is basically certain, but the evidence is insufficient and it may take longer to collect evidence."
Wen Qingzhu took the envelope and opened it.
The source of the plague is almost certain to be the bird in Changfu Palace.
That bird happened to be sent by Zhang Chunnian, not long after Zhang Bin died.
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu laughed out loud.
Concubine Wan helped Jiang Yuancheng become the king, and one of the reasons happened to be related to Concubine Zhang.
The letter sent by Lei Xiao said that Zhang Chunnian was Zhang Bi's half-brother, and the relationship between the two was quite good when they were young.
The most crucial piece of information is that Mrs. Jingyuan Hou was also from Lingcheng.
As a result, Zhang Chunnian's identity was revealed, and he wanted to frame Concubine Li and Prince Ning.
The suspicion of Zhang Chunnian cannot be shaken off. In the end, it is very likely that the matter will be settled.
Wanbi must have promised Zhang Chunnian something.
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu suddenly became curious about Zhang Chunnian's personality.
She remembered clearly that Zhang Ke was from Mengcheng next door to Lingcheng, and Lingcheng and Mengcheng both fell under the jurisdiction of Jiangnan.
The atmosphere there is very bad. The big families from all over the country cooperate with each other, which blocks the upward path for the poor people.
After careful calculation, the situation in Jiangnan will improve in two years. Is it because of Zhang Chunnian
Wen Qingzhu didn't remember much. He only knew that there was a serious corruption case in Jiangnan. Later, top-level officials in various places were purged, and the poor men had a chance to rise.
But there are still few opportunities, after all, the local famous families will not give up their original quota.
Even so, Zhang Ke still stood out. When he first arrived in the capital, he was recognized by Jiang Yuancheng and accepted as his disciple.
At this time, Zhang Ke should still be experiencing his first failure
At this moment, Huai'an County, Mengcheng City, Zhangjia Village, Qingshi Town.
In a dilapidated house at the end of the village, a young man with a stubble was clenching his fists and looking at a fat, middle-aged man at the door.
Behind the greasy man stood a row of strong men.
At this moment, a beautiful woman in plain clothes walked out of the house.
The moment he saw this woman, the greasy middle-aged man immediately opened his eyes wide and stared at the woman, drooling: "Beautiful, beautiful! If you follow me, I will never treat you badly!"
The woman looked at the young man blocking the door and sighed: "Sanlang, let me go. I'll leave the money for you. You go and take care of it. Prepare well this year and strive to pass the exam next year. You can't let your aunt down." What’s expected of you.”
The young man pursed his thin lips tightly, and his hair was not done well and was a bit messy.
Seeing him like this, the woman felt very distressed. She raised her delicate hands to take care of the young man's hair, and said at the same time: "Sanlang, don't worry, I will live well. I hope you can still remember me when you return home in glory."
These words and this intimate gesture made the middle-aged greasy man a little uncomfortable.
"Susu, you are already mine, why are you still reluctant to part with your fiancé!"
The woman named Su Su smiled, with a completely charming look on her brows and eyes that made people unable to take their eyes away.
This smile immediately stirred up the middle-aged greasy man's mind, and he quickly changed his words: "It's okay, it's okay! You can talk for as long as you want! If three thousand taels is not enough, I can add more!"
The woman retracted her hand and suddenly looked at the greasy middle-aged man in surprise: "What's the matter? If the master is not afraid of what the madam says, can you add another two thousand taels? After all, Sanlang is here for the scientific examination. If he becomes rich in the future, this He will definitely return double the money to you."
No one spoke, and the greasy middle-aged man immediately waved to his men to get the money.
The boy closest to the greasy man smiled bitterly and said: "Master, my wife knows that you insist on marrying Miss Su Su, and she has already stayed at the counting house. I can't afford the money."
Seeing this situation, the woman looked worried: "It turns out that I can't make the decision. In this case, I'd better go over slowly, otherwise I will anger my wife and make me feel uneasy."
