Red makeup against the world

Chapter 155 hatred because of jealousy
Xu Wanzhen got up, dried her body and put on her pajamas, and said with a smile: "So there are other reasons." She turned her head and asked curiously: "In March, Madam Zheng was on the boat with us, how could she be so kind to Jingzhong?" know all about it?"

Madam Zheng looked confident, and said: "Since I am returning to Beijing, how can I not pay attention to such important matters? Don't mention anything else, just ask me about the dignitaries in the capital."

Everyone has their own secrets. Madam Zheng has been in the palace for many years, so of course there are connections she has made. This is her trump card.Regarding this, Xu Wanzhen didn't intend to ask further questions, and nodded slightly. Mother Zheng is loyal, as long as she can use these trump cards, what does it matter if they are in the hands of Mother Zheng?
In "Wenhan Residence", Tu Manfen was sitting in front of a desk under a lamp, on which was an open book.It seemed that she was reading a book leisurely, but the hands tightly twisting the handkerchief betrayed the anger in her heart at the moment.

Yin Ping stood aside in trepidation, she knew that the eldest lady was in a very bad mood, and she was afraid that she would be hurt by accident.Although Tu Manfen is not like Tu Manzhen, who beats and scolds maids to vent her dissatisfaction, but the way she punishes her servants makes Yinping shudder when she thinks about it.

Tu Manfen murmured, "She, Xu Wanzhen, has a low status. How can she be able to get Princess Zhaoyang to look at her differently?" After learning yesterday that Xu Wanzhen had won the invitation of the "Peony Flower Festival", it was a great blow to Tu Manfen, who was always proud.

Ever since it was rumored that this year's "Peony Flower Fair" will be held in the Princess Mansion, Tu Manfen was determined to win it. With her talent and reputation in Beijing, she regarded the invitation as her bag.Since we want to taste flowers and compose poems, how can such a grand event lack her?

It never occurred to her that before the invitation came, she would be preempted by a merchant's daughter whom she despised. This is really embarrassing.

Yesterday she mentioned a few words that her second younger sister Tu Manzhen was going to make trouble, but even so, it couldn't hinder Xu Wanzhen in the slightest, making it difficult for her to vent her anger.

Since Xu's family came to Beijing, Xu Wanzhen was better than her in every way.What's annoying is that Xu Wanzhen never showed any intention of competing with her.Those hands and feet that she moved in secret were resolved by Xu Wanzhen in an understatement, and she was still polite when she saw her, as if she had punched cotton, and she had nowhere to use her strength.

Jealousy slowly fermented in her heart, and gradually evolved into a trace of hatred.Tu Manfen's eyes became sharper, Xu Wanzhen, let me make you proud for a few more days, at the "Peony Flower Fair", I will let you know what the difference between clouds and mud is!

In the early morning of the next day, when the sky had just turned pale, Xu Wanzhen got up and took a shower.After the morning exercise, he went to greet Mrs. Xu, told all about yesterday's incident at the Princess Mansion, and talked about his worries and solutions.

Mrs. Xu patted her hand and said: "It's up to you to make up your own mind on these matters. If you need me, an old lady, just speak up. Just pay more attention, my daughter's family can't be tired."

Feeling her grandmother's love, Xu Wan felt warm in her heart, and coquettishly rubbed on Mrs. Xu's body, and said, "How old is grandma? Zhen'er looked at her, she was younger than Mrs. Lin from 'Changhongyuan'." It's more than 20 years old."

"You monkey, you are talking behind your back again." Mrs. Xu laughed and scolded: "Aren't you going to the Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs today? Why don't you go quickly? I knew that Zhuangzi too, and it's quite a distance away. You take two more Go alone."

"It's really worth it, grandma, please rest assured."

After eating breakfast with Mrs. Xu and Xu Wenyu, Xu Wanzhen took Sangzi, Caisi, and another nursing home according to Mrs. Xu's instructions, got into the carriage, and set off for Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs.

Songxi Academy is located in the northern suburb of Luoyang City, and there are two roads to choose from to the eastern suburbs.

One is to go through Luoyang City, the distance is short but it takes time to get in and out of the city gate; It takes less time to arrive.

The road through the city is obviously much more comfortable, but in order to hurry, Xu Wanzhen still ordered the driver Yu Xuemin to take the dirt road around the city.

Starting at Chenshi, the road is bumpy and uneven.The bumpy journey along the way made Xu Wanzhen feel a little uncomfortable. Caisi served her and drank some hot tea before suppressing the churning in her stomach.

About an hour later, Yu Xuemin's voice came from outside the car: "Miss, be patient, we're almost there!"

Sangzi opened the curtain of the car and looked out. Compared with the northern suburbs, the terrain of the eastern suburbs is more gentle.

"Miss, there are many Zhuangzi here!"

Caisi said softly: "The terrain here is flat and irrigated by rivers. The big families in the capital love to set up properties in the eastern suburbs." As the child of the Tu family, she naturally knows the situation in the capital.

Hearing this, Xu Wan really wanted to look outside, but suddenly she heard a commotion ahead, and the carriage stopped.

Yu Xuemin said: "Miss, there is a fast horse coming ahead, let's take shelter by the side of the road."

"Okay, drive the car to the side of the road." Since you want to avoid it, let it be thorough, so as not to cause trouble.

Xu Wanzhen was sitting in the car, only heard the sound of horses' hooves outside the car, and galloped away, the dust kicked up entered the curtain of the car, choking the three of them to cough again and again.

Sangzi took out a handkerchief and waved it around, trying to drive away the dust, saying, "What kind of people are these people, they don't slow down when they see a carriage on the side of the road, it's really disgusting!"

Xu Wan really wanted to order to move on, but she heard "Herod" neighing, and the rider who had just passed turned around again and stopped beside the carriage.

Immediately came a knight in a blue brocade robe. He reined in the horse's head, looked at the Tu family's carriage beside him from above, and asked rudely, "Who is the Tu family in the carriage?"

Liu Qiang, the nursing home of the Xu family and the car, went up to meet him, and said without showing any weakness: "Who are you? There is no reason, why do we have to answer."

"Presumptuous!" A long follower behind the knight stepped forward, and hit Liu Qiang head-on and face-to-face with a "whoosh" of the whip in his hand.

Liu Qiang was proficient in martial arts, so he never expected that this person would strike so unreasonably and suddenly, he couldn't dodge for a while, so he blocked it with his hand, his spring shirt was light and thin, and when the whip came down, his skin was ripped apart.

He held back the pain and glared angrily at the long follower.But the long follower laughed loudly and said, "What are you looking at? Dare to be rude to my family's eldest son, you deserve it!"

Xu Wanzhen was in the car. Although she didn't see it with her own eyes, she felt the same way.Who is so arrogant, but with just one sentence, he indulges and hurts others, it is simply too deceiving!
Since she came to the capital, she has always been cautious, but it doesn't mean that she has to swallow her anger when someone bullies her to her door.Knowing her temperament, Sang Zi hurriedly helped her put on the veiled hat, and helped her get off the carriage.

The knight in the blue brocade robe was slightly surprised when he saw a young lady getting off the carriage, but he smiled frivolously and said, "Hey, which young lady is this, why have I never seen it before?"
