Red makeup against the world

Chapter 161 Fate
Xu Wanzhen replied with a smile: "Returning to my third uncle's words, Yu'er has just learned the big characters, and now the nanny will lead her to take a bath. Zhen'er thanked the third uncle's grandma for the reward on behalf of Wenyu, and I will take him with him when he comes back." Come to see you."

After a series of words, the order was clear, respectful and polite, and the third uncle and grandma smiled and said: "What a smart child."

After seeing the ceremony, the guests and hosts were seated, Old Master Tu said: "I haven't seen that girl Ru Niang, Qiongyu said it is a good one, she has always had a good eye."

The third uncle said: "With Qiongyu as a guarantor, I am naturally at ease in terms of character. I just don't know our conditions, will they accept it? The old man doesn't know, many people in the clan have wanted to adopt their son in recent years Give it to me. It's not that I haven't thought about it, if I can't think about it in the end, I have to choose one of the children in the clan." The tone was desolate.

"They are not adopted. All those children remember things. They are just planning for us to seize our property after a hundred years!" The third uncle said angrily: "Poor my daughter, she only has one child. If If their wish is fulfilled, what will my daughter rely on in her husband's house in the future!"

After hearing this, Xu Wanzhen finally understood why the two of them came to Beijing in a hurry before they got the approval letter.It must be because there is no hope of heirs, and the tribe is pressing against each other. Seeing that there is a glimmer of hope here, I can't wait.

Mrs. Xu's tone was gentle, and she persuaded: "Third cousin, don't be as knowledgeable as them. Mother Ru said that she regards you as her parents. After marriage, as long as she gives birth to the eldest son, she can adopt him to be raised by Tu's parents."

"Eldest son?" The third uncle stood up excitedly, and asked, "Did I hear you right?" Gu's eyes also flashed a look of light.

Mrs. Xu took her hand, nodded with a smile, and said: "That's right. It's just that this matter still needs Mr. He's approval. Ru Niang has already written to her. Counting the time, I estimate that there will be a reply in the next few days."

Grandpa Third Uncle nodded again and again. Things went smoothly than expected. He expected to spend more time talking, but he didn't expect Han Runiang to be so sensible.How can he not be excited when he sees a successor?
Mrs. Xu said: "It's just that you recognize Han Runiang as your daughter, but she is going to marry into the He family as a concubine. I don't know if you mind, third cousin?" It wasn't mentioned in the letter, just in case, I'd better confirm it it is good.

"Our peasant family, where do we come from so much attention? The He family in Songzhou has a big family and a great business. We have heard of their names in the Meng family. The second son of He is famous. This is the child's own fate. I only hope that she will marry in. It's better not to be at a disadvantage." The third uncle expressed his opinion.

"Second Master He is very caring about Ru Niang. Otherwise, he would not have taken so much trouble to marry her as a good concubine." Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Ru Niang is currently living in Xu's house in Jiashanfang. Look, brother, should we go and see her first, or wait for the reply from Second Young Master He before we go?"

Third Uncle's grandfather pondered slightly, and said: "Since we have this fate with this child, no matter whether it is successful or not, we must meet each other. Qiongyu, please arrange, we will meet first."

Mrs. Xu nodded, and the few of them chatted about the old days together, Xu Wanzhen listened quietly.After a long while, I left the "Songtao Courtyard" and turned back to the Green Bamboo Court.Third Uncle and his party, Mrs. Wu arranged them to live in the "Guanyun Pavilion" of Tu's Guest House.

When she went to the room in Qingzhuyuan, Xu Wanzhen helped Madam Xu to sit on the couch, and then she took a big welcome pillow and put it on her waist, before she said: "Sister Ru Niang, there is a girl I have to deal with first, then So that the third uncle and grandpa can go over."

Mrs. Xu is old after all, walking back and forth twice, and talking exhausted her energy, she felt a little tired, she closed her eyes and asked, "Painting fan?"

"Well, it's that girl." Xu Wanzhen gently kneaded Mrs. Xu's legs. For Mrs. Xu's body, she learned some massage techniques from Mr. Su, and massaged for her when she had time Fan, relieve fatigue.

"It's indeed a restless one, how do you plan to deal with it?"

"After much deliberation, my granddaughter decided to ask Sister Ru Niang to give me her body deed and arrange for her to work as an embroiderer in the 'Splendid Embroidery' shop. Is it okay for grandma?"

Mrs. Xu thought for a moment and said: "It's fine as it is now, as long as you let others watch her."

"Don't worry about granddaughter, I'll go to Jiashanfang tomorrow." Seeing that Mrs. Xu was tired, she stopped talking at the moment, so she concentrated on massaging.After a while, Mrs. Xu let out a slight snoring sound, she was already sound asleep.

Only then did Xu Wanzhen stand up lightly and rubbed her sore hands.Gently, Yulu took a thin blanket and covered Mrs. Xu, and the two quietly exited the room.

In "Changhong Yuan", Lin's face sank like water, and asked: "Has the Tu family members arranged to go to 'Guanyun Pavilion'?"

Xiangtao narrowed her eyes and replied: "Yes, old lady. Lady Wu took it herself."

With a "pop", the teacup in hand shattered, Lin said angrily: "This family is getting more and more shameless. I am the mistress of the Tu family who is in charge of Zhongfu, and the guests at the house don't even know me? Then What kind of thing is Wu Niangzi, living at home for no reason, and now she is acting as a substitute."

Lin was angry, Xiangtao and Qiaolan were silent like cicadas.Wu Niangzi is considered half an elder in the Tu family, Lin dares to say this, but how dare they talk about it?
What's more, this time Lin didn't find fault for no reason. According to the rules of the Gaomang Dynasty, no matter which room the guest came, he had to report to the mistress first.After all, the mistress is in charge of Zhongfu, how to accommodate the guests, and the food and clothing expenses of the visitors, all need to be arranged by the mistress.

While she was getting angry, He Xiang came to report: "Old lady, Mrs. Wu is here."

Lin restrained her anger, signaled Xiangtao to clean up the fragments of the teacup on the ground, and said, "Let her come in." She wants to see how Madam Wu will explain this matter.

Wu Niangzi always smiled, and when she saw Mrs. Lin, she saluted and said: "Old Madam, two elders from the Tu family came today. Because they are old acquaintances of Mrs. Xu, the old master invited her to talk, and Instruct me to place them in the guest house. I don’t want to disobey the old master’s order, and they have just been settled, so I hurried to explain to the old lady.”

These words were impeccable, Lin's face softened a little, and he muttered: "The old man is doing things more and more out of order now."

Madam Wu pretended she didn't hear what she said. Han Runiang admitted that she was a daughter of the third uncle's grandfather's family. It was originally a secret of the Xu family. How could Lin be involved in it?She naturally understood the importance of it, and had no choice but to let her complete the situation.

"The old man said that someone from the family came to Beijing to do business and stayed at our house for a few days. Their food and clothing expenses are all paid from the 'Songtao Courtyard'." Wu Niangzi said again.

Hearing that there is no need to pay money from the public, most of Lin's anger dissipated, and he hurriedly said: "The elders of Tu's family live at home, I'd better pay a visit, and pay attention to the etiquette."

Wu Niangzi said: "The old man said, it's just a side branch of the clan, so there is no need to visit. They travel by car and horse, and 'Songtao Yuan' can arrange it here."

These words hit Lin's heart, she didn't want to meet this elder who appeared out of thin air.
