Red makeup against the world

Chapter 421 Girl's Feelings
Hearing this, Tu Manzhen picked up the embroidery frame on the dressing table and stammered: "Yes, I am embroidering."

Tu Manfen glanced lightly, and said, "You took it upside down."

"Oh, oh?" Glancing at the strap in his hand, Tu Manzhen frantically tried to turn around, but accidentally fell to the ground.She froze for a moment and stood there blankly.

Tu Manfen smiled helplessly, waved Yinping out, and said, "What the hell are you doing, can you tell me now?"

Seeing that Tu Manzhen's face was on fire, it turned red quickly, Qiqi Ai said: "Sister, it's really nothing, it's just some gadgets."

Tu Manfen walked over slowly, she became more nervous, and used her body to block in front of the dressing table.

"Since it's nothing, just let me take a look." Tu Manfen frowned.

Then he stretched out his hand, passed Tu Manfen, and opened a box in front of the dressing table.The box was put on by Tu Manzhen in a hurry, and it wasn't tight.When it was opened, a huge oriental bead rolled out.

Tu Manzhen was taken aback, and quickly caught it with her hands.

If you take a closer look, the box is filled with all kinds of objects in a mess, including hairpins, jade pendants, coral bead strings, oriental beads, etc., which are not valuable but interesting, such as colored glaze dolls, jade bells, Moro, etc. .

Fiddled with the box lightly, Tu Manfen's expression gradually became serious, and asked, "Where did you get these?"

Both of them are women in boudoirs and rarely go out.Lin's butlers are meticulous in their calculations, and there is not much money left in their monthly bills except for daily expenses.

Even if you go out to play, you don't have the money to buy these impractical toys.What's more, there are one or two pieces of jade and the Dongzhu inside, which are very valuable, let alone something she can afford.

"Tell the truth!" Tu Manfen raised her brows upside down, and there was a hint of sternness in her voice.

What she was worried and afraid of was that her younger sister was coaxed by some rogue man because she was ignorant of the world.How important is a woman's boudoir reputation!It is related to Tu Manzhen's life, and even the reputation of the entire Tu family woman.

Tu Manzhen also knew that she had done something wrong, she bowed her head and said, "These were all given to me by Liu Qiran."

Liu Qiran saved her life on the Dragon Boat Festival, and she personally agreed to his marriage proposal.From then on, Liu Qiran asked Gao Yi to bring her some small items from time to time to relieve her boredom.

She thought, since they all agreed to propose marriage, it would be nothing to accept some things, so she didn't refuse.What's more, the items he sent were exquisite and interesting, and she couldn't put them down.

Hearing that it was Liu Qiran, Tu Manfen breathed a sigh of relief.She also guessed a little bit about the family's plans.It's just that it's not appropriate to give and receive in private like this.

Tu Manfen hated iron and said: "You, what do you want me to say about you? He is a foreigner, and you have forgotten your mother's teachings since you were a child? The most important thing for a woman is self-love, and the most important thing is to avoid frivolity. "

Tu Manzhen distinguished: "It's just some objects, and I haven't seen him."

"Do you need to meet? Since you accept it, he knows your attitude. How do you know, and what will he think of you?" Tu Manfen said seriously: "As a woman, you must be cautious in your words and deeds."

"Sister, I know I was wrong. Please, don't tell mother."

After pondering for a moment, Tu Manfen said: "I don't need to tell my mother, it's fine for now, but I can't accept it in the future. Sister, how do you like him?"

Hearing this question, Tu Manzhen was in a daze.

She had never thought about the relationship between men and women before, and it was the age when she was curious about everything.For outstanding men, it is more to appreciate than to like.

But Liu Qiran's appearance was like a wild bull, rushing into her life unreasonably, appearing in front of her again and again, leaving a deep imprint on her heart.

Thinking of the fiery eyes he looked at her, and agreeing to her four harsh demands without hesitation, Tu Manzhen's heart slammed like a deer, she couldn't help but feel ashamed.His tone was a bit confused, and he said, "I don't know, do you like it?"

Seeing her sister's puzzled appearance, Tu Manfen felt a little distressed.

Why is the younger sister who has not yet reached Ji's shoulders the responsibility of the Tu family and the Liu family?She is still so naive, she was pampered and grew up since she was a child, and she doesn't even know what "love" is, so she is about to get married?

In the Pingguo mansion, the interpersonal relationship is extremely complicated, how does she know that people's hearts are sinister?It has not been swallowed alive.

Taking Tu Manzhen's hand, looking at her ignorant and clear eyes, Tu Manfen brushed a strand of hair from her forehead behind her ear, and said, "Sister, don't worry. Eldest sister will protect you."

She secretly made up her mind that after she got married, she would find an opportunity to ask Liu Qiran for clarification.If she didn't understand what was going on in his heart, she would definitely oppose this marriage to the end even if she tried to be unfilial.

But right now it is helpless, they are all boudoir girls, how can they easily see foreign men?

……

After two more rainstorms, the heat in the air was swept away.

Looking at the rainwater flowing down the eaves, Mrs. Xu frowned and said, "This year, there is more rainwater."

Now that the summer solstice has passed, the rice in the field is half the height of a person.There is too much rain, and I am afraid that it will not be discharged in time, which will affect the autumn harvest.But even more worrying is the flooding caused by the rain.

Xu Wanzhen was sitting on the spring bench below. It was early autumn when she came to Gaomang Dynasty, and this was her first summer.

Since the beginning of summer, there have been heavy rains and light rains, and there have been several heavy rainstorms.She thought the weather was like this, but after hearing what her grandmother said, she realized that it was an abnormal climate.

Madam Zheng stood behind her, and heard the words: "What the old lady said is that this kind of rain has only been seen twice in this old age. Every time, it will cause floods."

The capital is built on the Luoshui River, and the Tongji Canal is firmly built and extends in all directions.Even if there is a flood in the upper reaches, the flood can be released well without disaster.However, in some states and counties further south of the capital, the rivers are narrow and the embankments are low. Whenever there is a flood, they will bear the brunt of it.

"It's June now, as long as it doesn't rain any more, there's no need to worry." Madam Xu said worriedly: "Be afraid, just be afraid, the sky doesn't obey people's wishes. Seriously, you need to prepare more rice."

Xu Wanzhen nodded, every time there is a disaster, the price of goods will soar, and the first thing that bears the brunt is food.This is the law of the market, and it is no exception from ancient times to the present.Even if it is at the feet of the emperor, it will be overwhelmed by the panic of the people.

After leaving the "Ronghui Hall", Xu Wanzhen went back to the back room, called Wan Shi who was in charge of the purchase, and gave her the pair of cards after giving detailed instructions.

"Bought in several households, it must be enough for the family to chew for two months. In addition, buy another month. If there is a disaster, grandma should set up a porridge shop to help."

Wan Shi respectfully responded, and said: "This servant girl is about to report to Miss that the price of rice has risen a little in the past two days."

Xu Wanzhen nodded. There are quite a few old people in Beijing, all of whom have experienced floods.When seeing such a weather, as long as the family has some spare money, they will buy some to prevent problems before they happen.
