Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 169
Once the marriage is settled, it's not so easy to back off, and I don't know how to back off without knowing the cause and effect.

Vanilla hurriedly told Ming concubine everything she knew, and the matter had to start with yesterday's purse.

Yesterday, Su Man and the others went to the Minister's Mansion of the Ministry of Industry to return the purse, but Miss Zhong Si hadn't returned after shopping, so Su Man didn't want to make another trip, so she handed the purse to the manager of the Zhong family, explaining about the purse, she later found out There is still a bank note in the purse, I am afraid Miss Zhong Si has forgotten it, so I am here to return it.

The steward of the Zhong family promised to deliver the purse, and Su Man and the others went back to the Su family.

But I didn't expect that this morning, when Su Man and the others went out for an appointment, the eldest wife of the Zhong family came to ask for marriage.

Young Master Zhong went back to the academy yesterday, Miss Zhong Si went home alone, Mrs. Zhong asked her about the purse, Miss Zhong Si explained a few words, but she shook her head and said, "Mom, don't you Knowing me, my monthly money for one month will be spent as soon as I get it, so I can’t save money.”

Mrs. Zhong was surprised, "It's not your bank note, so whose bank note is in this purse? Could it be from a small vendor selling purses?"

Miss Zhong Si sneered, "Mother, you're just kidding. Small vendors can't find a tael of silver. Where did you get 1000 taels? I've seen the purse before, and there's no silver bills in it."

The sharp-eyed servant girl next to Mrs. Zhong found that a corner of the bank note was missing, which was exactly the same as what Mrs. Zhong gave to Young Master Zhong, so she reminded her, "Could it belong to the young master? Didn't the wife give him 1000 taels yesterday?" ?”

Miss Zhong Si blinked and said, "I remembered, this purse was handed by the elder brother to the eldest daughter of the Su family, but why did the eldest brother give the silver ticket to the eldest daughter of the Su family?"

Mrs. Zhong understood, "It must be the same virtue as your father. He likes other girls but can't say it, so he expresses his love in such a clumsy way. Fortunately, the girl from the Su family has a noble character and is not moved by money. If you don't send it back, how will mother know that your elder brother has a sweetheart?"

Miss Zhong Si nodded again and again, "It must be. Brother saw Miss Su yesterday, his face was red and his neck was thick. I've never seen him like that before."

The son is also old enough to marry a wife. He has a sweetheart and is a girl from the Su family who is famous all over the world. Can she, a mother, help match him up?
After tossing and turning and not sleeping well all night, thinking about how to talk to the Su family, Mrs. Zhong set off for the Su family early in the morning.

Mr. Zhong was studying at Yuelu Academy, and Mr. Su had an impression of him. In addition, Mrs. Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry and Mrs. Su's favorite student, Mrs. Right, were cousins, so he knew everything about him.

The marriage was a perfect match, and everyone was happy.

When Su Man returned home and the servant girl said congratulations, Su Man was as anxious as an ant on a hot pot. She was so vicious yesterday that she stunned Master Zhong at a loss. Now she is going to marry To him, how can she face him, she doesn't want to marry.

Su Man approached Mrs. Su to protest, but the protest was ineffective. Su Man was so anxious that she didn't know what to do, and then she thought of Ming Concubine. The last time Su Li was engaged to the Prince of Zhennan, it was Ming Concubine who tried to help her withdraw. Maybe Ming Concubine Xie also has a clever plan to withdraw from her marriage to save her in dire straits.

However, after Ming concubine heard what had happened, she burst out laughing. It was just a coincidence that sending a purse can also send a marriage.

But she thinks Young Master Zhong is a good person, he apologized for his mistakes, took into account Su Man's reputation, and borrowed money from his purse, not to mention that he is a student of the academy, so he knows his character.

Ming concubine was distracted, while Xi'er asked, "Master Zhong is missing an arm or a leg, is there any hidden illness?"

Vanilla shook her head, "Probably not."

Xi'er was in a difficult situation, "There is nothing wrong with it, how can my girl help my cousin get divorced?"

Vanilla thinks about it too, the cousin girl helped the second girl to withdraw from the marriage because she helped the prince of Zhennan cure his eye disease and broken leg, the young master Zhong has healthy limbs, and the cousin girl is helpless, "But what if the girl doesn't want to marry?"

Ming concubine's eyes are as bright as stars, "cousin has someone in mind?"

"No," the servant girl shook her head, she can guarantee that she will serve her personally.

Ming concubine's teeth were loose, and she smiled lightly, "Tell my cousin, don't worry, it's just that you're engaged, and it's not like you're going to get married. Mrs. Zhong will get it wrong. Young master Zhong is probably as anxious as she is, so let her find her." The third cousin helps me find a place with beautiful scenery, such as on a painting boat or on a broken bridge, and ask Master Zhong to have a good talk and meet a few more times. It won't make you look bad."

Vanilla nodded again and again, thinking that this idea is very good, the cousin girl is smart, and the girl did not find the wrong person, "I will go back and tell the girl."

After Xiangcao left, Xi'er looked at Ming concubine with a weird face, "Pick a place with a good view to meet, isn't this a date?"

Without comparison, one would not know that her maid is actually very smart, Ming concubine nodded, "Just let them date."

Xi'er's almond-shaped eyes widened, "But Miss Cousin wants to divorce the engagement."

Ming concubine continued to lie on the small couch and pretended to be dead, "She is thin-skinned, and she got to know her more often. If Master Zhong is good, she won't resist getting married. If she still doesn't like each other, she will call off the marriage." .”

"It's better to demolish a temple than destroy a relationship, the girl is beautiful when she is an adult," Xue Yan said with a smile covering her mouth.

Here, Ming concubine was still shaking her shoulders about the engagement between Su Man and Young Master Zhong. After Mrs. Zhong helped her son get married, she wanted to make her son happy, so she asked the book boy to send a letter to Young Master Zhong quickly.

After Young Master Zhong heard this, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning, mother cheated on him!

Since when did he fall in love with Miss Su? The girl is not happy to see him at all. When they meet each other twice, they are either crying or staring at him. He is afraid of seeing her. How could mother think he is going to marry her? No? Everyone is like a father, as soon as they have some money, they give it to her for safekeeping.

Mrs. Zhong rushed back to the mansion in a hurry, and explained the matter of the 1000 taels of silver, including the matter of Su Man disguised as a man. Only then did Mrs. Zhong realize that she had done something bad with good intentions and was buried by her son. But she just likes Miss Su as a daughter-in-law, who is talented, beautiful and courageous. Such a daughter-in-law is hard to find even with a lantern, and he is not satisfied.

Mrs. Zhong glared at her son and said, "When playing cuju and smashed the girl, shouldn't he stare at you? If you smash the girl, you should be responsible. What's wrong with the girl, you don't like her?"

Young Master Zhong had a headache, "There's nothing wrong with her, and my son doesn't look down on her..."

Mrs. Zhong happily interrupted him and said, "Look, mother knows that you secretly like other girls. You were born by me, so how can I not know what you are thinking? Alright, go back to the academy quickly, before we get married. If the Su family is engaged, they will skip school, don't regret marrying my Zhong family, Su family."

Young Master Zhong was very tired, knowing that reasoning with his mother was like playing the piano with a cow, so he walked away with his hands on his forehead, and perhaps had greater hope of persuading the Su family to resign.

As soon as he left, Mrs. Zhong stared at Mr. Zhong, "I'm in a hurry to go to the Su family to propose marriage, why don't you stop me?"

The corner of Mr. Zhong's mouth twitched, and he didn't know who was worried about going to Su's house in the middle of the night, his daughter-in-law would be the first to get there, and his son could not regret his life after asking for it...

After Young Master Zhong, Master Zhong also got up silently and left.

Mrs. Zhong sat there, rubbing her temples, sighed, and said to herself, "Is there something wrong with my son's vision? What a lovely girl..."
