Red makeup against the world

Chapter 299
No one to discipline him when he was young, coupled with the intrigue between his brothers and sisters in the house, Liu Qiran developed a lawless and reckless temperament.As long as no one is killed, it can be resolved in the name of the Pingguo government.

Hearing Tu Hongyi's words at this time, Liu Qiran suddenly realized.

He also knew that he was worthless, but he didn't seriously reflect on it, so he could only muddle along.It turned out that I lived so far that I turned out to be such a useless waste.That's right, if I have a daughter who I love as much as pearls and treasures, how can I be willing to marry such a family and such a man?
Liu Qiran was sweating profusely, and he, who was always glib, couldn't find any words to refute.

Tu Hongyi glanced at him, knowing that there is still salvation from shame.He stood up and said, "I thank you for the hospitality of Mr. Liu. Please come to me after you have thought about the matter of asking for marriage." Then he opened the door and went downstairs to get on the Tu family's carriage.

Gao Yi saw Tu Hongyi coming out, but there was no movement in the room for a long time.

He pushed open the door, poked his head in and took a look, only to see Liu Qiran standing in the room blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

This was the first time he saw his master's expression like this, he walked in lightly, and asked in a low voice: "Master, is the deal settled?"

Liu Qiran woke up suddenly and said, "Let's go, let's go back home."

Gao Yi was confused, how long will it be?In the past, I would go to Nantong Lane to gamble a few times, and never return to the house until the time to close the gate.

But since the master gave the order, as the chief follower, he should obey the order.After paying for the meal, he and Liu Qiran went back to the Pingguo Mansion together.

……

Spring rain is as expensive as oil, and the continuous drizzle makes the crops in the fields shiny and green, and the growth is gratifying, which makes the farmers who depend on the sky for food all celebrate.

The neighbors in Luoyang City have also been infected with this kind of joy. After a period of inactivity, the fresh and tender fruits and vegetables in the market are even more attractive.

Jiashanfang, at the rear corner gate of Xu's house.

A cart was parked there, and several servants dressed as servants were taking out a basket of juicy asparagus and a gazelle from the cart, and handed them to the servants of Xu's house.

Their master, Mrs. Zhu, was talking in the mansion; "Old lady, I've been so busy these past few days that I didn't know you moved back to Beijing. I should have come to recognize the door a few days ago, I really should hit!"

She kept the etiquette of the juniors, and apologized again and again with a smile on her face. Although Mrs. Xu knew the purpose of her visit, she couldn't help but asked with a smile: "How is your old lady?"

"The old lady is thinking about it. The mother-in-law is very good. No, I just sent asparagus and wild animals to the village yesterday, so let me bring them to you for a taste. The mother-in-law said that since the old lady returned to Beijing If you have free time, please go to the mansion for a sit-down. A few years ago it was too far away and it was inconvenient, but now we are all in Beijing, so you might as well walk around more."

These words were extremely beautiful, but Mrs. Xu knew in her heart that it was just an excuse.If this is the case, why didn't she come to the door when rumors were flying all over the sky a few days ago?
Now that Xu Wanzhen has become the adopted daughter of Duke An's Mansion, she reappeared only after everything was settled.

"Congratulations to Miss Xu, you have won the favor of Mrs. An Guogong." Mrs. Zhu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "In this way, we will be even better matched with Captain Fan. Captain Fan is young and promising, and he is also a guardian If you are polite, since you adore the eldest lady, you will definitely treat her generously. Madam, think about it carefully, is this the reason?"

Mrs. Xu is quite excited about this marriage.Fan Bin has no father and no mother, and his adoptive father is far away in the northwest border, so after marrying, he will be able to be the master of the family, so uncomfortable.What's more, she asked someone to inquire about him. After he entered Beijing, he performed outstandingly, no bad deeds were reported, and he fell in love with his granddaughter.

I was worried about the crown prince before, but since An Guogong's government recognized Xu Wanzhen as a righteous daughter, the crown prince's side has calmed down.At this time, there is no need to worry anymore, it is really a marriage that couldn't be better.

However, on the one hand, Xu Wanzhen made it clear that she did not want to marry, and on the other hand, she used the excuse to the official media sent by the prince that she could not discuss relatives in filial piety.

With these two points in place, Mrs. Xu couldn't let go.She smiled faintly, and said: "Thank you, old lady, for thinking about it. When you have time to turn around, you will definitely get together. It's just that Wanzhen is still serving filial piety. It is very inappropriate to discuss relatives at this time. I replied the same way to the official media."

In fact, in the Gaomang Dynasty, it was only in filial piety that they could not get married, not that they could not discuss marriage.There are many people who changed Geng Tie in Xiaozhong and got married again after leaving Xiaozhong.It's just that it's inconvenient for the Xu family to do so to hinder the crown prince.

I wish the eldest lady was prepared for this, she smiled lightly and said: "The old lady is thoughtful. Thinking about it as a junior, Miss Xu is sixteen years old after she has passed the filial piety. It will be too late to come to discuss marriage at this time. As long as the old lady is willing It is decided that the Fan family and the Xu family can exchange tokens first, Captain Fan said that he is willing to wait for Miss Xu."

Usually, a woman agrees to get married before she is 15 years old, and she will get married when she is 17 or 16 years old. It's really late when I was [-] years old to discuss marriage, what Xu Wanzhen said was very thoughtful.

Mrs. Xu's heart moved, if Xu Wan really wanted to, it would be a good idea.He laughed and said, "Wan Zhen is very filial to her mother, and we need to discuss this matter."

"That's natural. The old lady discusses slowly, don't worry."

Mrs. Zhu left and came out, sitting in the carriage and letting out a long breath.Compared with the last time, today's trip was finally rewarding. Seeing Mrs. Xu's expression, she was already moved.

……

Xu Wanzhen was reading a book in the courtyard at this time, Qingmai came in with a white porcelain plate, on which there were piles of mulberries.It has just been washed with well water, and the bright water drops are attached to the purple-black translucent fruit, which makes the mouth fluid.

"Miss, eat some fruit to rest your eyes." Sangzi said with a smile.

Xu Wanzhen didn't even raise her head: "Put it there, and eat it with Yu'er after school."

In modern times, mulberries are one of her favorite fruits.It's just that after the degree of industrialization is getting stronger and stronger, it is difficult to eat such original ecological fruits.

The mulberry tree in the backyard bore a lot of fruit, Xu Wanzhen asked Caisi to pick it together with the little maid, and each house and courtyard divided some, and asked Xu Le'an to give it to Anguo Gong's mansion twice.

It stands to reason that it would be best for Xu Wenmin to deliver it to your door.It's just that since Xu Changzong went to the brocade workshop, all the management of the Xu family was handed over to him.Buy a new Zhuangzi next to the silk flower workshop and use it as a silk fan workshop.I am also looking at some shops in the city, planning to open garment workshops for ordinary people.

These days, he is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground. Seeing that he has lost a lot of weight, he doesn't care about giving gifts.

Sang Zi responded crisply, and put the mulberries on the table.

"Send a copy to Madam Zheng too, she's really working hard these days."

Since Xu Wanzhen's illness, Madam Zheng has been watching over her medicine and herbal meals in person. She never relaxes, and prepares a medicated bath for her at night.Thanks to her careful conditioning, Xu Wanzhen recovered so quickly.
