After leaving the Wei family, Fu Lie took Wen Qingzhu to the Liang family.
It was almost noon, and they had better arrive at Liang's house before the luncheon started.
But as soon as Fu Lie and the others came out, an arrow flew towards them.
Fu Lie took out his long sword and blocked it. With a click, the feather arrow fell to the ground.
Wen Qingzhu looked down at the feather arrow on the ground, bent down and picked it up.
The feather arrow in front of me is made of black iron, and the feathers are the tail feathers of a white skylark.
This is made by the director...
At this moment, a woman jumped down from the opposite wall.
She wore a military uniform with gold embroidery and narrow sleeves, and a layer of pale golden cloud veil on her face, embroidered with a pair of lifelike peacocks.
Delicate eyebrows, dark eyes, beautiful nose and cherry lips, and bright and three-dimensional facial features.
"Are you the Wen Qingzhu that Shuo'er mentioned?" The woman carried a small black crossbow on her back and kept looking at Wen Qingzhu.
"County Lord." Wen Qingzhu immediately guessed who she was and saluted.
The woman in front of him is the head of Pingshu County.
Seeing Wen Qingzhu, he guessed who she was at a glance, and his eyes suddenly became curious: "Have you seen me before?"
"The daughter of the people has never met the county master, but in the capital, apart from Sister Shuo, the only one with such skills as the county master is the county master." Wen Qingzhu was polite but not humble.
"You..." County Lord Pingshu's eyes flashed, "You are different from other rich ladies. No wonder Shuo'er admires you so much."
Wen Qingzhu was startled. Did Lei Shuo appreciate her
"Stop dawdling, you can go back in my car!" Pingshu County Lord whistled, and a sandalwood carriage came out of the alley not far away.
After all three people got in the car, the carriage started to drive towards Liang's house.
Sitting in the car, County Master Pingshu touched his chin, looked at Wen Qingzhu in confusion and asked, "I came here after you. How did you deal with that row of archers when there were only two of you?"
After saying that, she looked at Fu Lie again: "And you are not injured yet!"
Wen Qingzhu did not hide anything and told the Lord Pingshu everything that happened.
The Lord of Pingshu County was shocked: "You actually have such a powerful poison!"
"The daughter's grandfather was Dr. Lu back then." Wen Qingzhu thought for a while and found an excuse.
When he heard what Dr. Lu said, County Master Pingshu's expression changed.
But soon, she returned to normal and nodded to herself: "So that's it."
On the way back to Liang's house, they finally didn't encounter any more pursuits.
Arriving at the door, Wen Qingzhu had just stepped out of the car when he unexpectedly saw two people standing at the door.
One is Wen Qingmei and the other is Wan Ze.
"Seventh sister." Wen Qingmei trotted up excitedly when she saw her.
Wen Qingzhu responded, looked up at Wanze, and found that he was sizing up Pingshu County Master.
Wanze seemed to notice her gaze and turned over.
"Do you know him?" County Lord Pingshu suddenly asked.
Wen Qingzhu smiled lightly and said, "He is the cousin of my sixth sister's maternal grandfather's Wan family."
County Lord Pingshu seemed to recall some bad memories, frowned and said: "I hate him!"
Wen Qingzhu nodded slightly and said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Me too."
At this moment, County Master Pingshu's eyes lit up.
Half an hour later, Wen Qingzhu returned to the banquet place.
Lu Tao and Shaoyao hurriedly came forward and shouted in unison: "Miss!"
"I'm fine." Wen Qingzhu smiled.
Wen Qingmei beside her suddenly asked: "Sister Qi, did you really go out to play with the county leader just now?"
Wen Qingzhu turned around and found that Wen Qingmei's expression looked envious, but in fact there was a trace of jealousy hidden.
"Seventh sister, I heard that you went out with the county master, but it wasn't the county master who took you away earlier?" Wen Qinglan's strange voice sounded from behind.
Wen Qingzhu frowned, looked around, and found that people on both sides were looking over.
Wen Qinglan's voice was not quiet just now, I'm afraid it was intentional.
"Xiao Qi, you are finally back." The voice of Mrs. Wan came from behind again.
Wen Qingzhu had to turn around and say hello: "Auntie, Sixth Sister."
Wan asked sarcastically: "The eldest princess is holding a hundred-flower banquet today. Why doesn't Xiao Qi wait for Fang'er and come with her?"
"The aunt is busy with business, Xiao Qi can't disturb her." Wen Qingzhu finally realized that they blocked her here just to make herself look embarrassed.
I think Wan was a friendly person on the surface, but now it doesn't look like he can maintain his superficial harmony.
Is it because of what happened this morning, or because she went out alone with the county leader
"Then you have time to come over with Fourth Aunt?" Wen Qinglan secretly resented her, and then Wan's words became sarcastic.
Why does she, Wen Qingzhu, have everything, but she, Wen Qinglan, has nothing!
Originally, my aunt was going to become the mistress of the house, but this dead girl got in the way.
Otherwise, she would not have begged Wanshi in a low voice today to come to this Hundred Flowers Banquet.
Wan Shi glanced sideways at Wen Qinglan with a very disdainful expression.
As expected, it was something raised by my aunt, without any education.
The curse words are so straightforward, and if outsiders look at them, they will only make you lose face.
Thinking of this, Wan Shi moved his position with Wen Qingfang.
Wen Qingzhu didn't bother to talk to Wen Qinglan and turned around and left.
Wen Qinglan was so angry that she couldn't help shouting: "Wen Qingzhu! How dare you ignore me! Auntie, look at-"
When she turned around, she found that Wan and Wen Qingfang had walked away.
Wen Qinglan was a little panicked now, and she realized that everyone around her was looking at her.
"Auntie, wait for me." Wen Qinglan hurriedly chased after Wan.
Under the flowering tree.
After Wen Qingzhu sat down in his seat, Wen Qingmei followed him.
"Sister Qi, how do you know the county lord?"
Wen Qingzhu raised his eyelids and looked at her quietly.
Wen Qingmei suddenly felt a little scared and looked around and said, "Since the seventh sister doesn't want to talk, Qingmei will go first."
Without waiting for Wen Qingzhu to reply, Wen Qingmei quickly turned around and sat down in her seat.
Not far away, Wen Qingzhu heard a familiar voice.
Looking up, Wan Ze and Wen Mingyu came over.
Wen Qingzhu asked Lu Tao in a low voice: "How did cousin Wanjia know Qingmei?"
Lu Tao suddenly clapped his hands, and then said hurriedly: "Didn't the young lady leave with the county lord at that time? The Qinghu girl asked the servant and Shaoyao to come back and wait here. On the way, they met the 12th young lady and Master Wan. At that time, they Sitting in the corridor talking."
"How did Wen Qingmei meet Wanze?" Wen Qingzhu felt something was wrong.
Lu Tao also felt strange and said: "When Miss Twelve saw us coming, she immediately stood up and took a few steps away from Master Wan. When we walked over, she explained that she was worried and went out to look for her. She got lost halfway. Master Wan brought her out."
"Didn't Xiao Xing follow Twelve at that time?" Thinking of Wan Ze's temper, Wen Qingzhu felt that there must be something fishy going on.
Shaoyao suddenly said: "No! When we came back here, Xiao Xing had not appeared. It was not until shortly before the young lady came back that Xiao Xing appeared. Then Master Wan came over and said that he was taking Miss Twelve to the door of Liang's house to greet the county lord. and you.”
Wen Qingzhu's mind sank. Wouldn't this Wan Ze fall in love with Wen Qingmei
But this is the Liang family, so Wan Ze shouldn't be so bold.
She brought Wen Qingmei here. If something happened, Aunt Yue would blame her for it.
Thinking of this, Wen Qingzhu waved Shaoyao over and said in his ear: "I'll ask Lu Tao to spread the little apricot, and you can..."
"My slave knows." Shaoyao nodded.
After Shaoyao left, Wen Qingzhu asked Lu Tao to call Wen Qingmei and Xiao Xing over.
"Seventh sister." Wen Qingmei was a little nervous. Why did Shaoyao leave just now
Wen Qingzhu asked Lu Tao to move a stool across from him, and after Wen Qingmei sat down, she said, "Don't you want to know why I know the county leader?"
"Seventh sister is willing to talk?" Wen Qingmei looked a little surprised.
Wen Qingzhu nodded, then glanced sideways at Xiao Xing: "It's best not to let others know about this matter. Xiao Xing and Lu Tao should step aside first."
Xiao Xing looked at Wen Qingmei hesitantly.
But Wen Qingmei didn't pay attention at all. She just waved her hand and said, "Please step aside first. Sister Seven is here, so nothing will happen to her."
"Yes." Xiao Xing glanced at Wen Qingzhu, then followed Lu Tao and retreated.
But before he had gone far, Lu Tao suddenly said: "Xiao Xing, I suddenly have a stomachache. Please accompany me to the latrine."
"But Miss and the others..." Xiao Xing was worried about Wen Qingmei.
Lu Tao took her hand and said: "This is the Liang family. There are maids and women everywhere. You can do whatever you want with them. Besides, we will only leave for a while, and Shaoyao will be back soon."
"Okay then." Xiao Xing knew that the warmth group and Aunt Yue had a good relationship, so she didn't think much about it.
After Wen Qingzhu sent the two maids away, she smiled and said, "Mrs. Lei San, do you still remember?"
"Remember, remember." Wen Qingmei nodded seriously.
"Mrs. Lei San has a daughter, Sister Shuo. She has a very good relationship with the County Lord. Today, we are not qualified to attend the Hundred Flowers Banquet hosted by the Grand Duke. It was Sister Shuo who begged the County Lord and sent three tickets to the Wen family. The county owner was very curious about the invitation and wanted to meet me. Later, the county owner didn't want to stay at home, so he took me out for a walk." Wen Qingzhu explained with a smile.
Wen Qingmei nodded thoughtfully, and then seemed to understand: "It turns out it's still the relationship between Mrs. Lei San, Mrs. Lei San is really kind to the seventh sister."
"Sister, try this green plum wine. It's not intoxicating." Wen Qingzhu poured her a glass of wine himself.
"Thank you, Seventh Sister." Wen Qingmei finally stopped being afraid and took the glass and drank it.
Wen Qingzhu watched her swallow the entire glass of wine, and then raised her hand to stroke the hair on her forehead.
Not long after, Xiao Xing came from a distance.
She whispered a few words into Wen Qingmei's ear.
Wen Qingmei's face lit up with joy. Just as she was about to stand up, she found Wen Qingzhu looking at her.
She quickly stabilized herself and explained sheepishly: "Sister Qi, I want to go to the toilet."
"Well, go ahead." Wen Qingzhu's eyes were like crescent moons and he nodded gently.
With Xiao Xing's help, Wen Qingmei quickly left here and came to a secluded courtyard.
"Did you really see Master Wan around here?" Wen Qingmei couldn't hide the smile on her face.
Xiao Xing smiled: "Miss, don't worry, I really saw it, but there is someone around Master Wan, but why did the miss meet Master Wan?"
Wen Qingmei glanced at her: "Didn't I tell you? I was originally going to find him. Have you taken care of Wen Qinglan's affairs?"
"Oh, it's almost done, but I still want to go take a look." Xiao Xing replied with a smile.
…
After half a stick of incense, Wen Qingmei came back alone, with a bit of disappointment on her face.
Wen Qingzhu was pouring wine and waved to Wen Qingmei to come and sit down.
"Drinking a little plum wine appropriately is good for the stomach and intestines." Wen Qingzhu handed Wen Qingmei another glass of wine.
Wen Qingmei couldn't refuse easily, so she could only take it and drink it.
After putting down the wine glass, Wen Qingmei suddenly felt her eyes dazzled.
Holding her forehead, Wen Qingmei felt as if she had forgotten something.
"Sister Qingmei?" Wen Qingzhu called her.
Wen Qingmei suddenly woke up and looked at Wen Qingzhu with confused eyes: "What's wrong?"
