Red makeup against the world

Chapter 117 Sleepless Night

Xu Wanzhen chuckled, and handed the list she had just written to Madam Zheng, with a smug gleam in her eyes.Even including her previous life, she is only in her 30s, and she still has a bit of a childlike heart, eager to be recognized.

Mother Zheng looked at it carefully, and praised: "This is a good idea, how did Miss come up with it?"

"You know, how can I take care of the house properly? Right now, everything is a matter. I will make a list, so I won't be afraid of missing it."

Madam Zheng nodded and said, "Except for the housekeeper, you can't forget about your daily homework. Morning exercises for early waking up, homework in the afternoon, and taking a bath in the evening, everything must be missed."

These days, how is it busier than modern students?Xu Wanzhen sighed, and leaned on the table, revealing two big black and white eyes, and said: "Nurse, please forgive me."

It was rare to see her play tricks, Sangzi laughed "puchi", Madam Zheng smiled slightly, and said: "Miss understands in her heart, why bother to beg for mercy."

The three of them laughed and quarreled for a while, and Madam Zheng said sternly: "This note, Sangzi, you need to put it away. Except for the three of us, it cannot be known by others. This involves the young lady's views on many matters. , if it gets out, it will inevitably be a storm."

Xu Wanzhen nodded and said: "Well, I didn't want to write it out, black words on a white background are easy to leave behind. But now I have just taken charge of the house, I am afraid that I will lose sight of the other."

"It's inevitable when you first get started, and you won't need it after you get used to it," said Madam Zheng.

"Sangzi, go and inform the stewards that tomorrow, April [-]th, the meeting will be held in the flower hall in the morning. This will be the rule from now on. Every two-day meeting, if there is an urgent matter, report back in private."

Sangzi took orders and left.

Madam Zheng had already prepared the medicated bath. After a tiring day, Xu Wanzhen soaked her body in water with a suitable temperature, and couldn't help sighing comfortably.Nanny Zheng combed her long hair with balm, and said with a smile: "Miss's hair is getting better and better."

Xu Wanzhen's hair was already black and smooth, but after half a year of nursing care by Madam Zheng, it became more lustrous and smooth to the touch, like silk.

The night was getting darker, after taking the medicated bath, Xu Wanzhen felt comfortable all over, hugging the soft brocade quilt and fell asleep soundly.

The moon was covered by light clouds in the sky, the lights of the entire "Songxi Academy" were extinguished one after another, and the sound of insects was silent.

However, in a house in the capital, torches as thick as a child's arm were burning everywhere, and the lights were brightly lit.With a study as the center, men kept coming in and out, but all of them possessed martial arts, and they landed silently, advancing and retreating in an orderly manner.So busy, yet so quiet, like a pantomime.

In the study room, Yingfeng sat behind the desk.There are all kinds of letters and letters piled up in front of the desk, the right side has been processed, and there are two tall stacks on the left side.

In the first place under him, there are two cases laid out, and two masters are writing hard.Men kept coming in quietly, presenting new news.

This place is one of the strongholds of the Feng Group. It has been more than half a year since Ying Feng left. Although Feng [-] and Feng [-] deal with daily news, most of them need to be seen by him personally, so there is a backlog of many.

After returning from the emperor, he was here to deal with all kinds of information.Some just need to sort out and file, some urgently need to report to the emperor immediately, and some need to continue to follow up, all of which require him to make up their minds one by one.

Three days later, he had to go to the palace to wait for Emperor Qinglong to announce his appointment. He didn't know what would happen, so he planned to deal with the backlog of information beforehand.You know, some news may become useless after a while.

Yingfeng took a sip of tea, moved his stiff wrist, and thought: "It looks like I can finish it today." He picked up a letter with his right hand and opened it, his pupils shrank, and he said to himself: "So that's the case. "Put the book aside simply, but a thought popped up in his heart, which was out of control.

Since arriving in Luoyang, affairs have come one after another, Yingfeng has been concentrating on the affairs of the wind group, and has no time to think about other places.At the moment when I was free, Xu Wanzhen's beautiful face appeared in my mind, her frowns and smiles, her embarrassment, her high spirits, and her soft lips.

Ying Fengfeng rubbed her heart involuntarily, it was like this every time, so it hurts so much to miss someone?The end of the nose seems to smell her clear and delicate fragrance again, so I want to hold her in my arms and love her fiercely.

The pen in his hand snapped into two pieces with a "click", which woke up Yingfeng.The two masters next to each other looked at each other, they had never seen Master Yingfeng lose his composure like this.

Yingfeng rubbed his eyebrows and asked, "What time is it?"

One of the masters replied: "Go back to your lord, it's almost time."

Yingfeng thought silently in his heart: "It seems too late tonight, why don't we finish all the rest, rest for a day tomorrow, and go see her later at night."

Make up your mind and continue to focus on the affairs at hand.

The sleepless person this night is not just Yingfeng.

Inside Yijing Palace, in the garden pavilion.

On the tables of white marble, there are tributes such as fresh fruits and pastries, as well as children's toys such as windmills made of colored paper.

Dressed in plain clothes, Liu Zhaoyuan lit a candle with her own hands, lit the paper money on the candle, and put them one by one into the copper basin.The light of the flames jumped, reflecting her face which was neither sad nor happy.

After burning all the paper money, she put the windmill and other toys into the basin and watched them slowly turn into ashes.

I silently said in my heart: "My child, it is my mother who is incompetent and failed to protect you. Today is the anniversary of your death for nine months. If everything is safe, you should be full moon at this time? I don't know what you like Your toys? Auntie brought you some of everything, don’t be afraid if you break it, Auntie will burn it for you.”

In the thick night, she seemed to see a fat boy giggling and stretching out his hands to her, begging her to hug him coquettishly.Liu Zhaoyuan stretched out her hands in the void, but the tentacles were filled with cold air.The bottom of my heart was sour, a tear welled up from the corner of my eye, there was a look of sadness on the delicate face, and a trace of hatred flashed in the depths of the eyes.

"Boy, it's easy for you to play in the sky. The person who hurt you, A Niang has some clues, and I will definitely avenge you."

Zi Mo stood by the side of the pavilion from a distance, it is taboo to worship in the palace.Although it is Zi Shi now, all the palaces have already been locked and rested.But there are dangers everywhere in the palace, so we still need to be careful.If you are not careful, it will lead to a serious crime.

After Liu Zhaoyuan paid her respects, Zi Mo carefully packed her belongings and followed her into the bedroom.

Sitting in front of the dressing table, she untied the hairpin, and her black hair like a waterfall fell to her shoulders. Against her unpainted face, she became more and more desolate like snow.She was completely different from the woman who danced in the palace that night.

Zi Mo brought a pineapple comb and combed her hair silently.

Liu Zhaoyuan quietly said: "Is that news true?"

"Indeed, my servant is afraid that the news is wrong, so I have confirmed it again and again." Zi Mo replied in a low voice: "There are two palace maids who have died at the Chunling Palace. One is the little maid who delivered the starch and laundry that day. How long will it take to die of sudden illness?"

"Well, what about the other one?"
