In less than a quarter of an hour, Li Wei and Xia Feiyuan walked out together.
Wen Qingzhu felt strange for no reason as he watched them walking side by side.
When they arrived, Li Wei looked at Li Wu and said, "Master Li, please come to the palace with me."
"Yuanbao, you are here to accompany Miss Wen, don't act nonsense, you know?" Li Wu told Jin Yuanbao a few words, then turned around and followed Li Wei.
Xia Feiyuan looked at them with a smile: "Miss Wen, please come this way."
"Thank you, Crown Princess." Wen Qingzhu smiled brightly and did not take Li Du's sudden appearance to heart.
Once inside the house, Jin Yuanbao volunteered to stay outside.
Xi'er immediately rolled her eyes, turned to Wen Qingzhu and said, "Miss, this servant and Lu Tao will come into the house to serve you."
"Hey, hey, hey! You just said you were going to stay outside, why are you suddenly going in again?" Jin Yuanbao chased after Xi'er and almost reached out to pull Xi'er back.
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said, "You all should stay outside. The Crown Princess and I have something to discuss."
Xi'er had no choice but to nod, glance at Jin Yuanbao with a straight face, then turned around and went out.
Jin Yuanbao hurriedly caught up with him.
Seeing this scene, Xia Feiyuan said with envy: "Every maid around Miss Wen is extraordinary. I am so envious."
"Why should the Crown Princess envy me? Looking at this capital, who doesn't envy the Crown Princess now?"
Xia Feiyuan smiled shyly: "Miss Wen is joking, it's all my luck that makes me like this."
Wen Qingzhu smiled and said nothing, but she did not intend to expose her.
After complimenting each other for a while, Wen Qingzhu got down to business: "How effective are your words now in Wanjia's side?"
"It's not that big, but my aunt is still willing to listen to a few words from me." Xia Feiyuan answered while pouring a cup of tea for Wen Qingzhu.
Wen Qingzhu took a sip gently. This tea was of the finest quality.
It seems that Xia Feiyuan's life in Jingyuan Hou Mansion was very nourishing.
"Since you can make the decision, I won't talk nonsense. Concubine Cheng granted marriage to Wanze and Qingmei back then, but now the Wan family is dragging their feet and refuses to get married. Can you please help the Crown Princess to persuade them?"
Xia Feiyuan sighed in confusion: "This is not difficult. It's just that Concubine Wen of Prince Huai's Mansion has never liked me. My sister died inexplicably, and I feel very sad here. I'm afraid of the future." Concubine Wen deliberately made things difficult for me. When the time comes..."
She raised her eyes and looked at Wen Qingzhu, her meaning self-evident.
Wen Qingzhu's lips curved: "Don't worry about Concubine Xia, we are already investigating. Now she is only Prince Huai's concubine. What's more, Princess Huai is back. When her child is born, her good days will be over. .”
"That's good." Xia Feiyuan breathed a sigh of relief, but she was still a little unwilling.
Her sister's child was not saved, so why could her Wen Qingfang's child be saved.
But she didn't say these words to Wen Qingzhu. She only said: "Concubine Wen really wants to make things difficult for her. Please ask Miss Wen for more help."
"Don't worry, Concubine Wen has offended many people." Wen Qingzhu was not worried. Wen Qingfang wanted to die on her own. She probably thought that He Wenru framed her for Xiaoping's matter.
After a few days, Mrs. Wan came to pay the betrothal gift.
She looked down upon Aunt Yue, but Mrs. Ning came to help her.
Mrs. Wan thought of her two promising sons and did not dare to embarrass Aunt Yue too much.
After hastily paying the betrothal gift, the date was casually arranged.
On August 18, the Wan family came to welcome the bride.
Wen Qingzhu was not surprised. Not to mention Mrs. Wan, the entire Wan family looked down on Wen Qingmei.
They probably thought that since Wen Qingmei was married, the Wan family had the final say on how they wanted to spend their money.
I'm afraid they plan to let Wen Qingmei die of illness in a few years, and then choose a good one for Wan Ze.
After the invitation was sent, Wen Qingzhu asked Lu Tao to prepare the dowry.
Wen Qingzhu also bought her various items such as fabrics, spices, etc. for the dowry of 10,000 taels of silver that she had agreed upon before.
After all, there is another very important person in the Wan family who needs Wen Qingmei to win over.
Three days before the wedding, Wen Qingzhu personally delivered the dowry to Uncle Wen's family.
Wen Qinglan and Wen Mingqian were at home at the time.
When she saw boxes of things being moved into the house, Wen Qinglan was still calm, but Wen Mingqian exploded.
"Wen Qingzhu! Where did you get so much money?"
Wen Qingzhu glanced at him lightly and ignored him.
Although Aunt Yue had a smile on her face, she winked and the two nuns passed by.
When Wen Qinglan saw that the situation was not good, she immediately took Wen Mingqian back to the small courtyard in the east chamber.
When we arrived at the small courtyard in the west wing, there were thirty-eight sets of everything, filling the entire courtyard.
Aunt Yue excitedly held Wen Qingzhu's hand: "Miss, it's really costing you a lot of money. So many things must cost a lot of money."
Wen Qingzhu pulled her into the house: "Auntie, these are just external possessions. Since I have this ability, I will naturally give her the best. After all, I have requirements, right?"
Aunt Yue nodded, but her face was still very worried: "After Meier is married, can she really manage such a large Wan family?"
"Don't worry, I still know my sister's ability. This is the most important thing. Money is just something external." Wen Qingzhu smiled.
Wen Qingmei from next door came over, her eyes were red: "Sister Qi, I originally thought that the ten thousand taels of silver you mentioned was just silver, but I didn't expect that there is such a thing."
"Sit down, sister. You have also seen that the time for a humble scholar to come to the fore is here. You must remember the person I mentioned to you before. No matter what means you use, you must win over him."
Wen Qingzhu's expression was very serious, and he didn't mean the slightest bit of tolerance.
Wen Qingmei nodded: "I remember everything my sister said. I will establish a foothold in the Wan family as soon as possible and then take over the power of the housekeeper."
"Well, that's good. Prepare for the wedding properly and don't worry about anything else." Wen Qingzhu patted her hand, but his mind was far away.
That Wanjia flower girl should have already participated in this year's Spring Festival.
He failed in the previous life, but he didn't expect that he would still fail in this life.
It seems like I need to find a chance to check it out.
On the wedding day, people from thousands of families came to welcome the bride.
Including those carrying the sedan chair and playing gongs and drums, there were less than twenty people in total.
Except for Wan Ze who was sitting on a tall horse, none of the other relatives of the Wan family saw anyone.
After Wen Qingzhu heard Lu Tao's words, he shook his head slightly.
"What about Wanze?"
Lu Tao looked outside and saw that Aunt Yue and Wen Qingmei were not there, and then said quietly: "He has a dark face, but the servant looks at him, he should be very happy, but the Wan family doesn't want to give this face, the surrounding people The people watching the excitement are all pointing and pointing."
"It's okay. When our dowry is carried out, the Wan family will be embarrassed. Anyway, Wan Ze will have to bear the shame." Wen Qingzhu didn't like Wan Ze very much.
When the sedan to welcome the bride arrived, Wen Qingmei had no biological brother, so Wen Mingxuan came to block the door.
Wen Mingxuan, who is only nine years old, is already able to speak well.
Wan Ze was stumped by several questions in succession.
Fortunately, Alai had eyes and said quickly: "Master Wan, there are two ways to get in. If you don't answer the question, just give me a red envelope."
Wanze's boy quickly handed over the red envelope, and Alai led Wen Mingxuan out of the way.
When they arrived at the door of the room, Wen Qingzhu stood guard at the door and looked at Wan Ze with a faint smile: "Master Wan, I don't intend to embarrass you. I only want to ask you one question. Do you really like Qingmei?"
Wan Ze immediately felt relieved: "Of course, I came here today to marry Meier home!"
"Okay, come in." Wen Qingzhu got out of the way.
Looking back, Wen Qingmei's hands were trembling slightly. It seemed that she was very moved.
Wen Qingmei knew exactly what was going on outside.
Hearing Wan Ze's words, he was naturally moved.
After singing the fan poem, Wen Qingmei slowly took away the fan, revealing a delicate and pretty face.
Wan Ze was pushed forward by the servant, took Wen Qingmei's hand, held her in his arms and strode away from Wen's house.
When they arrived at the door, Wen Qingmei was put on the sedan chair by Wan Ze himself.
As soon as the firecrackers went off, the sedan chair was lifted up, and boxes of dowries were carried out of the Wen family's house like water.
Wen Qingzhu stood at the door. When the last box of dowry was carried out, Wan Ze could not be seen.
"Lu Tao, prepare the carriage, let's go to Wanjia." Wen Qingzhu turned around to enter the house, but saw Uncle Wen standing with his hands behind his back, looking at her quietly.
"Master Wen." Wen Qingzhu called him with a smile.
Uncle Wen's face was calm and he asked, "You still can't forgive me?"
"Mr. Wen was joking. How can he forgive or not forgive?" Wen Qingzhu walked over and ignored Wen Shuquan.
As a father, how could he, Wen Shuquan, have ever been so competent
Ever since she found out from Jiang Dejia that Uncle Wen was plotting against her behind her back, Wen Qingzhu had already thought that she was dead.
Arriving at the gate of Wan's house, Wen Qingzhu heard the crowd outside discussing Wen Qingmei's dowry.
"It is said that Mr. Wen is not favored, but the dowry for this first daughter to get married is a lot! I heard she is still a concubine!"
"Isn't it right? When the eldest daughter of the Wen family got married, she seemed to have received thirty-eight dowries."
"That being said, it seems to be true!"
…
Wen Qingzhu got out of the car and soon after arriving at the house, he saw Wan and Wen Mingyu here.
When he saw her, the hatred in Wan's eyes was self-evident.
No one in the Wan family seemed very happy. On the contrary, Mrs. Xia, Mrs. Wan who hated Wen Qingmei the most at first, happily welcomed them in.
After praying to heaven and earth, Wen Qingmei was supported by Xiniang back to her new house.
Wanshi came up to her with a smile on her face, and when she was about to reach out, Xiaoxing raised her hand to block her: "Madam, Madam, please let me help you."
After saying that, Xiao Xing pushed Wan away directly and took Wen Qingmei away.
Wen Qingzhu didn't pay attention to this little incident.
Just in the blink of an eye, he saw the oriole next to Wen Qingfang actually appeared in Wanjia.
Wen Qingzhu felt something was wrong, so he took Xi'er and Lu Tao to the new house.
Just as he was about to turn, there was a scream from the side of the new house.
"ah!"
Wen Qingzhu was about to walk out when he suddenly remembered.
If Wen Qingmei couldn't even cope with this, it would be difficult for Wen Qingmei to gain a foothold in Wanjia in the future.
"Xi'er, just go and watch quietly and don't kill anyone. Lu Tao is coming back with me."
After giving these instructions, Wen Qingzhu returned to his seat.
Wan Shi came forward with a smile and asked maliciously: "Xiao Qi, I heard that you paid for Twelve's dowry?"
