Red makeup against the world

Chapter 104 Soft persimmon?
Liu Zhaoyuan respectfully sent the emperor away until the figures of the master and servant disappeared into the night.Then I went back to the bedroom in the palace and changed the dance clothes.

Zi Mo waited for her to change into her pajamas, looked at the cold young lady, and hesitated to speak.Now that Miss is acting, even I often can't understand her thoughts.

Liu Zhaoyuan saw that she was confused, raised her eyes and smiled, and said, "If you have any questions, just ask. In this palace, you are the only one I have."

"Miss, you clearly know that today is the fifteenth day. After a long time of hard planning, why did you choose today?" When there were only two people around, Zi Mo still used the old address.

"It's because I know. A Niang said that for a man, it's easier to think about what he can't get. It's a pity that I have forgotten these words before, and I just fell into it. If I succeed in serving the bed today, what will I do?" How? It took a lot of effort to make the emperor feel a little fresh, and it will last for a few days at most. After all, I am not a newcomer."

Speaking of this, Liu Zhaoyuan sighed softly again, and said: "Besides, use this body as a tool to compete for favor. If this kind of thing can be delayed one day, it will be one day."

In her heart, in the past six months, she has lost her affection for Emperor Qinglong.But she still has to be attached to the emperor, avenge the child, and seek benefits for the family. This kind of false love made her sick, but she had to continue acting.

Now it is three o'clock in Xu time, the night is as cool as water, and the palace walls are deserted.Only the stone lions guarding the gate of the palace are left, as if listening to the long past of the palace.

At this time, the Qingzhuyuan was about to be locked, when an eight or nine-year-old maid came from outside and knocked on the courtyard door.

The gatekeeper woman said impatiently: "The door will be locked soon, what's the matter, let's talk about it tomorrow!"

Although the maid was young, she was very clever, and hurriedly said: "Grandmother, I really need to find Miss Xu urgently. Please tell me that it is related to the trip tomorrow, and Miss Xu will definitely see me. "

The old woman also knew that the old lady and the eldest lady were going to Dali Temple tomorrow, so she didn't dare to delay after hearing the news, so she hurriedly reported it.

Xu Wanzhen had just finished taking a medicinal bath and was about to rest.Hearing that the mother-in-law reported it outside the door, she asked Sangzi to bring the little maid in.I frowned and thought, what will happen when I travel tomorrow?
The little maid came in behind Sangzi, saluted politely, and said crisply: "The fifth servant girl is the cousin of Du Caizhi, the manager of the horse gallery. She is doing some sweeping in the 'Songtao Courtyard' now. I have seen Xu Da Miss." In a few words, she explained her background clearly.

Xu Wan was really happy, this little maid was very interesting, and asked: "Then you are not in Songtao Courtyard at this time, why are you here with me? Are you afraid you won't be able to go back?" There is still a quarter of an hour, which is Haishi.At that time, all the courtyards will be locked, and Wu'er will not be able to return to the "Songtao Courtyard".If it's the master, someone will keep the door open. Such a little maid must be unable to do it.

"Back to Miss Xu, Wu'er was entrusted by his cousin. Thanks to Miss Xu for your concern, Wu'er does not live in the 'Songtao Courtyard' now, but lives in the back alley with his parents."

"Oh? What did your cousin ask you to do?"

"Today, my cousin found that some horses were sick. After checking, I found out that a groom mistakenly put moldy fodder into the manger, and the horses ate badly. Because Xu Le'an came to explain Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Xu want to use a carriage tomorrow, so I hurriedly called the veterinarian to see it, thinking that I can’t delay the trip tomorrow. But just now my cousin came to me and said that these horses will definitely not be used tomorrow, at least I have to raise them. Two days. He can't enter the backyard, so he can only entrust me to ask Miss Xu for his crime." Wu'er finished a series of words, explained the whole story, and lowered his head to listen to the training.

Xu Wanzhen listened quietly, smiled lightly, and said, "Okay, I know. You can go down."

Wu'er looked up in surprise, she agreed to Du Caizhi's job, and was prepared to be punished.Unexpectedly, this Miss Xu would let her go lightly.But isn't it better?Pressing the suspicion in my heart, I bid farewell and left.

Sangzi said unhappily: "Miss, you just let her go like this? There will be no carriage available tomorrow, what should I do?"

Xu Wanzhen said: "Leave her, or punish her, will there be a horse tomorrow?"

Sangzi choked, and said, "No."

"Since that's the case, why bother to make things difficult for a little girl? She was the one who passed the word on, but she didn't do this." Xu Wanzhen narrowed her eyes slightly. Where must the Xu family be? Some master of the Tu family is in the way. eye?Looking at this handwriting, it doesn't seem to be Lin's work, let alone the ascetic aunt of "Hanmeiyuan".I don't know if it was Li's or Yan's, it's just these two families.With the scope delineated, this matter is not difficult to investigate.

This Tu family really went on and on, adding chaos to the Xu family.Xu Wan said sincerely: "Do you really think my Xu family is a soft persimmon? Everyone will come and squeeze it. After these few days pass, we must pay back, otherwise we will make more progress."

Sang Zi said anxiously: "Miss, what should we do now? This is the first thing the old lady ordered."

Xu Wanzhen smiled suddenly, and said: "This Du Caizhi is quite talented. He did things according to the master's wishes, and then told me carefully, neither of them should offend. If so, this matter has to fall on him."

Sang Zi was confused and asked, "Miss, what are you talking about?"

"Look for my mother-in-law to send a message to Xu Le'an, and ask him to go to the horse gallery to find Du Caizhi tomorrow. He said that he knew that the Tu family's horses had a bad stomach and couldn't pull the cart. Ask Du Caizhi to help and borrow a few horses from the academy. , let's borrow it tomorrow. If Du Caizhi can't find horses, the Xu family will bring a veterinarian. Why don't you try those horses? " Xu Wanzhen ordered.

"When did we bring the veterinarian here?" Although Sang Zi was suspicious.But Xu Wanzhen's orders, she still carried out to the letter.

The next day, at Mao's time, the sky was not yet clear.

Du Caizhi yawned and went to the door of the stable, about to unlock it.Seeing a dark person standing by the door, I was taken aback, and the key fell to the ground with a "crash".

The man helped him pick up the key, smiled and said, "Brother Du, it's me."

Du Caizhi took a closer look, came back to his senses, and said, "So it was you, you scared me."

Xu Le'an said with a smile: "Last night, the eldest lady sent someone to say that all the horses in Brother Du's place are sick."

Du Caizhi waved his hand weakly, and said, "It's good to know, and don't make things difficult for me. I really can't help."

"Miss said, please help me to borrow a few horses from the academy next door. Brother Du is in charge, so he must be very familiar with the academy next door."

Du Caizhi hurriedly said: "How can you dare to be a young lady to ask for a request. It's just that the academy is busy, and there are arrangements every day. If I go to borrow it now, I may not be able to borrow it from me." He finally came up with such an idea, let Cui Xiu Not only was he able to do business for Miss Tu Manfen and Tu Manzhen, but he also took the time to tell Miss Xu yesterday so that his sister would not be responsible.If he came forward and borrowed a horse from the academy right now, I'm afraid the two young ladies of the Tu family would turn their anger on him.Therefore, he is extremely reluctant.

Hearing what he said, Xu Le'an didn't take it seriously, and just said: "Our eldest lady also said that if Brother Du refuses, the Xu family has a veterinarian. Come and check, these horses are fine, why are they suddenly Get ill?"
