Red makeup against the world

Chapter 259 Talking About Parents (Adding more to Bai Xiongfang's golden pig)

Seeing that Mrs. Xu didn't answer her words, Mrs. Zhu didn't feel annoyed, let alone the slightest bit of embarrassment. The topic changed slightly and changed to Songxi Academy.

I just heard her say: "In this Beijing, when it comes to Songxi Academy, who doesn't give a thumbs up? The students want to enter, and the father-in-law mentions it from time to time. He has admired Tu Shanchang's pine and cypress paintings for a long time, but it is a pity that he has no chance. I can see you. Just now I went to pay a visit to Mrs. Tu, he really is a great Confucianist."

She praised her father so much, and Mrs. Xu had to respond in terms of etiquette: "I wish you too much praise. My father is just a man at home, how can he deserve such praise?"

Mrs. Zhu took a sip of tea and said: "A few days ago at the peony flower party at the princess' mansion, the two sisters of the Tu family were quick-witted and outstanding. The "Seven Steps to Poetry" has the style of the old lady."

The main event is coming, why do you mention Xu Wanzhen for no reason?Mrs. Xu was vigilant in her heart, and said lightly: "She is still in Xiaozhong's little daughter's house, but she is only writing poems under the order of the princess."

Mrs. Zhu heard the alienation in her words and cried out in her heart.Although she had expected it before coming here, it was an errand assigned by Princess Zhaoyang herself.

She was chosen because Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Xu had some friendship when they were young, and with Dr. Yushi's family background, it would not be a problem for her to meet Mrs. Xu.Therefore, even if you bite the bullet, you have to finish the sentence.

She tilted her head slightly to signal, and the maid Huyan behind her presented a red sandalwood box painted with gold, and said: "This is Miss Xu's first poem at the flower festival. It was given by the queen, and the princess ordered me to send it."

Of course Mrs. Xu knew about this matter, she thought that Xu Wan was really dangerous that day, Princess Zhaoyang would expose the matter, she didn't expect to wait here.Since it was a gift from the queen, she had to accept it, she nodded, and Biluo stepped forward to take it.

It turns out that Yushitai has already stood on the side of Empress Cao with a clear-cut banner, and Mrs. Xu's heart is as clear as a mirror.

Look at this style, to win the support of such important officials in the court, Empress Cao didn't want to keep it secret, but acted in a high-profile manner.In her position, this is undoubtedly very correct. Firstly, it will show that there is nothing to hide; secondly, it will let the court officials recognize her strength and win more courtiers to rely on.

"I'm sorry to trouble you to make this special trip." Mrs. Xu thanked her sincerely, waiting for her next words.It's just a lottery, where can I work for her master?

"Where is there. I came here today to congratulate the old lady. This is a happy event, and there is another big happy event that I want to tell the old lady." Zhu Da Furen's conversation makes people feel like a spring breeze.

Mrs. Xu smiled slightly, but did not answer.

Mrs. Zhu went on to say: "The old lady has not yet gone to Beijing, and there is a champion of martial arts in this capital. You don't know, he is called a young hero! When parading on the street, throwing fruit to the cart, The girls almost didn't throw themselves out and caused a sensation in Luoyang City."

Glancing at Mrs. Xu's face, Madam Zhu changed the subject and asked, "I heard that Miss Xu's marriage in Jiangnan Road has already retired in the old year?"

This matter is not a secret in the first place, as long as you inquire carefully, you will know.But Mrs. Xu was worried, the resignation would affect Xu Wanzhen's reputation.In this dynasty, it doesn't matter what the reason is. As long as the two families have divorced, outsiders who don't know the reason will always think it is the woman's fault.

Originally thought of coming to the capital, because of the distance between the two places, the news of the resignation cannot be spread so far, and it will not affect Xu Wan's real marriage proposal.But because of Princess Zhaoyang, this matter was revealed again.

How big is the social circle in Beijing?There are only a few men of the right age that Xu Wan can really choose. It won't take long for this matter to be brought up again.In this way, it will be even more difficult for her to discuss marriage.

Mrs. Xu let out a heavy "hum" and placed the teacup heavily on the table, not hiding her dissatisfaction.Whether it's Empress Cao or Zhaoyang, they are all important figures that the Xu family can't afford to provoke.But relying on seniority, it is still possible to express her dissatisfaction to Mrs. Zhu in front of her and let her convey it to the envoy behind.

Since Mrs. Zhu said this, she already expected that she would be dissatisfied. No one wants the scars to be uncovered, right?

But just like buying vegetables, those who really want to buy must comment on the juicy Chinese cabbage to find out the flaws, first lower the seller's expectations, and then negotiate the price and finally close the deal.

Right now she is the one who buys vegetables, and Xu Wanzhen is the juicy Chinese cabbage.This matter was brought up to show that although Xu Wanzhen was excellent, her reputation for being divorced was flawed; secondly, it paved the way for her next words.

"You may not know that Fan Bin, the champion of martial arts, is the adopted son of Lord Long, the general of Zhenxi. He is only [-] years old, and his marriage was delayed because he has been guarding the northwest frontier. He is now the emperor's personal appointment. Worked in the Zhechong Mansion of Daying. Although it is only from the fifth rank, the future is limitless."

Mrs. Xu has heard of Fan Bin a little bit.Seeing her careful introduction, she couldn't help listening attentively. If nothing unexpected happens, Mrs. Zhu should come here to tell Xu Wanzhen.

Sure enough, she went on to say: "At the peony flower party, Miss Xu's demeanor of 'poetry in seven steps' fascinated Fan Duwei. But he was alone in Beijing, and he had no elders to speak for him. I'm here."

Mrs. Xu's heart moved, this Fan Bin sounds like a good person.

Mrs. Zhu saw that she was a little moved, and continued to insist: "Old lady, according to this junior, this marriage is very good. Captain Fan Du is an orphan. Although General Long regards him as his own son, he is far away in the northwest. Miss Xu Once you get married, you will be the mistress of the house, there will be no mother-in-law and no sister-in-law, and you can do things smoothly."

In light of this point, many old wives in the capital have chosen Fan Bin as a good son-in-law, but he turned them all away on the grounds that "the marriage must be arranged by the adoptive father".

"Lieutenant Fan Duwei is so brave that he won the championship in one fell swoop in the martial arts competition full of talents. The two families are well-matched, and they don't need to marry far away. Moreover, he was the one who fell in love with him. Miss Xu married and waited to enjoy the blessings!"

He told all the benefits of marrying Fan Bin in one breath, and wished the eldest lady to believe that such a good marriage would not leave Mrs. Xu unmoved.

Mrs. Xu was really moved.If it wasn't because he was an orphan, the Xu family would not be able to reach this relative no matter what.Xu Wan could really marry into the Zhenxi General's Mansion and become a fifth-rank wife, which was something she had never imagined before.

But Xu Wanzhen has already retired once, Mrs. Xu should be more cautious about her marriage, and she will never be able to withstand the second twists and turns.

"I understand what Da Furen means. It's just that Wanzhen is still in filial piety, and she needs to discuss this matter with her father."

Mrs. Zhu didn't expect that she would be able to answer her first visit.Marriage negotiation is a major event, which is equivalent to a woman's second reincarnation. Besides, Xu Wanzhen has already experienced divorce once, so she can't be too cautious at the moment.
