Red makeup against the world

Chapter 422

Picking up a pen to write a letter, Xu Wanzhen put down the pen and said, "Give the letter to Xu Le'an, and let him arrange to send it to Suzhou."

Although the capital and Suzhou are far apart, they are connected by the Tongji Canal and belong to the same river network.There is too much rain here, so the old house in Suzhou must be prepared.

In Suzhou, the Xu family's silk industry has been sold to the He family, but the Zhuangzi and fields are still there.Aunt Xu Wanzhen's dowry, Zhuangzi, was also in the suburbs of Suzhou.It's always good to take precautions.

After explaining, Qingluo came in happily and said, "Miss, Sister Mulan's carriage is almost at the second gate."

"Okay." Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly and said, "Sangzi, you and Qingluo go to greet her."

Wen Mulan was seriously injured trying to save herself, and has been recuperating at the "Hefeng Hao" Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs.Come back now, do you know if the injury has healed?
Not long after, Wen Mulan appeared in front of Xu Wanzhen.It seemed that, except for his pale complexion, he was still as tall and straight as a sword, full of energy.

"Mulan pays respects to miss."

Xu Wanzhen smiled at the corner of her mouth and asked, "Is it cured? Don't hold on."

"Miss, don't worry, when we were at Zhuangzi, Master Qian provided a lot of precious medicinal materials, and Mulan was able to recover so quickly."

Xu Wanzhen nodded and said: "You just came back, go and rest first."

Wen Mulan shook her head lightly, her tone was firm: "Mulan has been recovering from the injury for a long time, there is no need to rest."

Seeing her persistence, Xu Wanzhen no longer insisted, nodded and said: "Go and put down the burden first, and come here when you put it back."

……

An Guogong's mansion, the back house.

Banmei opened the curtain and came in, bent her knees and said, "Ma'am, Mrs. Wu is coming soon, the maid asked Shumei to wait at the second door."

Mrs. Zhuang was sitting on the Arhat bed covered with an ice silk mat, with a little maid behind her fanning her.

White smoke billowed from the ice basin in the corner.The rain outside had just stopped, and the temperature in the house seemed a little low, but Mrs. Zhuang was very comfortable.

"I see." Mrs. Zhuang replied lightly, then turned to talk to Zhou's mother, and said: "Over the years, we have only had a face-to-face friendship with Duke Zhong's mansion, and we have never had any contact with Shangshu's mansion. It's not a festival, what is she here for?"

Zhou's mother is her dowry mother and her confidant in charge, she knows Mrs. Zhuang's heart knot.

In recent years, the government of Zhongguo has gained momentum, but the government of Anguo has been tepid, and behaves like a man with its tail between its legs.Wu Jiao has a straightforward temper and speaks carelessly, which made Mrs. Zhuang unhappy several times, so Mrs. Zhuang kept her at a respectful distance.

Zhou's mother comforted: "The servant girl can't guess, maybe there is something to ask Madam."

Shumei raised the curtain, and a cool breath overflowed from the room.

When Wu Jiao entered the door, she felt her hairs standing on end from the cold air.It has just rained, and Mrs. Zhuang is still using ice?She murmured in her heart, smiled on her face, and said straight to the point: "I haven't seen Madam for a few days, this time I came here, Wu Jiao has something to ask."

Mrs. Zhuang also has a straightforward temperament, but seeing her speak so confidently, she felt a little displeased, and said: "Madam Wu is polite, there is something to say but it's okay."

"Ma'am, you know that my second younger brother was crowned in the old year, but he has never agreed on a marriage. Mother is worried day and night, but she is suffering from not being able to find a suitable woman." Wu Jiao said.

Mrs. Zhuang laughed secretly in her heart, Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Zhongguo's wife, was so jealous, who in Beijing didn't know?It is said that the Chen family is worried about the marriage for the concubine, but she is a million people who don't believe it.

It's just that everyone can say what's said in the scene, and she naturally won't expose it.Asking Shumei to serve tea, Mrs. Zhuang said with a smile: "It is said that the male college will be married, and the female college will be married. It is not easy for your mother to run the Duke's mansion. Even though you are married, you should help more."

Wu Jiao said with a smile: "Madam still understands me. Isn't that true? Did I just beg to come to the door?"

Mrs. Zhuang took a sip of tea, put down her cup and said, "Oh? Whose lady is this lady in your fancy? I know who she is?"

Among aristocratic families, it is common to help people to protect the matchmaker.It's just that she didn't expect that Wu Jiao was begged by that humble bastard in Duke Zhong's mansion.

One thing flashed in my mind, yes, not long ago I heard that the concubine was named a third-rank General Yunhui.Perhaps Mrs. Chen felt that she could no longer suppress him, so it was better to find a daughter-in-law who could handle her well.

As the mistress of the house, she naturally understands Chen's thoughts.That being the case, she didn't mind reaching out to help.

Wu Jiao said with a smile: "Of course Madam knows it. Not only does she know it, but she is also very close."

"Oh? How do you say this?"

"Mother wants to be the second younger brother, and ask to marry Mrs. Zhuang's newly adopted daughter, Miss Xu."

"Wanzhen?" Mrs. Zhuang pondered slightly, rubbing her hand lightly on the cup.This candidate greatly exceeded her expectations.She originally thought that the Chen family was interested in the humble concubine daughter in the clan, and her natal family had no power or power, so she could handle it in her hands.

But, from the point of view of status, Xu Wan can really marry into the Zhongguo Duke's mansion, even if she is married to a concubine, it can be considered a high marriage.It's just that in Beijing, people rarely hear about him, and they don't know what his character looks like.Since you want to protect the media, and it is for your adopted daughter, you must inquire clearly.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhuang said: "As far as I know, Wanzhen is still serving her mother. How can I discuss marriage?"

This was the Xu family's excuse for refusing the crown prince's mediatorship at the beginning, so she might as well use it again at this time, and delay for a while, so that she can inquire about the character of the concubine of the Duke Zhong's mansion.

"Ma'am is very worried. It's just that this marriage will not be completed in a short while. First look forward to it. If the Xu family is willing, they can exchange tokens first, and wait for Miss Xu's filial piety, and then exchange Geng stickers."

What Wu Jiao said is exactly the usual method of discussing marriage between the elites in Beijing, and a compromise at this time is just right.She couldn't wait and wanted to settle Xu Wanzhen down.

In such a hurry?Mrs. Zhuang was suspicious, could it be that there was something wrong with that bastard?

Immediately smiled and said: "Since I am asked to protect the media, I have to be more cautious. Allow me to think about it for a few days, and then I will reply to you."

This is the first time she came to the door, Wu Jiaoyuan didn't expect her to answer straight away, she smiled heartily and said: "Then I will wait for Madam's letter."

After Wu Jiao left, Mrs. Zhuang ordered: "Mother Zhou, you send someone to investigate, what's wrong with the bastard of Duke Zhong's mansion?"

Zhou's mother smiled and said: "Madam loves the second young lady, this old slave will save it."

……

Zhongguo Gongfu.

Chen put away the letter, and said: "Jiaoer has gone to invite Mrs. Zhuang to protect the matchmaker. Although she has to think about it, it shouldn't be a big problem. I asked you to send someone to pick up Fan Qianqian, what's the matter?"

Mother He said: "According to the schedule, Miss Biao should be here."

It is said that "one watch is three thousand miles away", this Cousin Fan Qianqian's relationship with Duke Zhong's mansion requires twists and turns in order to barely get along.If it hadn't been for the visit two years ago, Mrs. Chen probably wouldn't have known of her existence until now.
