Ten Miles of Red Makeup: The Legend of Ming Yu

Chapter 382 Blocking the way
Ming concubine hasn't come to Su's house for a while, compared to her, Chu Mochen came here once, but Ming concubine didn't expect that Wei Minghui was also there.

In the past, Wei Minghui was the daughter of the second family, and she couldn't speak, and it was difficult to get out of the second family, not to mention that she came to the Su family, but now she recognizes that she is the granddaughter of the Su family, and she is engaged, and she will marry Jiji, the Su family can't wait To make up for what was missed before, this is not just leaving Wei Minghui to live in Su's house for a short time, but it is like staying with Su Man, living in the same small courtyard where Ming concubine lived before.

Seeing Ming concubine, Su Man's cheeks were flushed, and she didn't dare to look at her.

Mingyu stepped forward and said with a smile, "It's been a long time since I saw you, so you still blame me for coming up with bad ideas?"

Su Li and Su Yao cover their mouths and laugh together.

Su Man's porcelain-like delicate face was intoxicated with a touch of red, no other kind of rouge could match it.

Su Li walked over and said with a smile, "I used to think it was a bad idea, but now I think it's a perfect match. I really have to thank the old man who shouldered the burden. If it wasn't for his turning around, I wouldn't be able to make big sister and young master Zhong together." Right."

Ming concubine nodded and smiled, "Then, the old man and I each account for half of the matchmakers."

Su Man was so ashamed that she wanted to dig a hole in the ground on the spot, "You all know how to embarrass me, my face is always hot, and it's not white."

Su Li smiled and said, "How wonderful, even the rouge is saved."

Su Man chased her, trying to scratch her, "You know how to tease me, if it wasn't for cousin, you and cousin Yan are not engaged yet, I toast half a glass, you have to toast a whole pot."

Su Li giggled, "You're not afraid to get my cousin drunk, my cousin's husband is annoying you."

Su Yao said, "it's easy. Let my cousin drink instead of my cousin. Don't talk about a pot, even a pot is not too much."

Everyone agrees that Su Yao's idea is good. You can't get Ming concubine drunk, but you can get Chu Mochen drunk.

After arguing for a while, Ming concubine brought the makeup she had prepared and said, "Do you like it or not?"

Su Man accepted the makeup with a blushing face, opened it, and received several praises in unison, "It's so beautiful!"

Su Li looked at Ming Concubine and said, "Which store's jewelry is this? It's so delicate and unique in style. I've never seen it before."

Before Ming concubine could speak, Xi'er held her neck high and said triumphantly, "This is the only one that my family's concubine Shi Zi drew a drawing for someone to customize."

Ming concubine took a look at Xi'er, and said, "It's not the only one, I have prepared a few more in the same style, just for your makeup."

Hearing that she had it too, Su Li exclaimed, "The makeup from my cousin is too expensive."

In contrast, they couldn't even get what they sent at the beginning.

Ming concubine smiled and said, "It's really difficult for me to embroider the screen one by one for you to add makeup, but it's easier."

Talking and laughing in the room, happy and harmonious.

Ming concubine stayed for two quarters of an hour, and the maid outside reported that someone was coming to add makeup to Su Man, Su Li and the others went to greet her, and Ming concubine went to greet Mrs. Su, seeing that Mrs. Su's complexion was rosy, Ming concubine helped her by the way Feeling the pulse, she said with a smile, "Grandmother has a strong body and a radiant face."

Mrs. Su held Ming Concubine's hand, and she was indescribably grateful to Ming Concubine, the entire Su family. It all showed that Concubine's blessings were profound, and she and the Su family were truly blessed by Ming Concubine.

Ming concubine chatted with Mrs. Su, while Chu Mochen was called by Mrs. Su to play chess with him in the study when he entered the mansion.

In Su's house, Concubine Ming stayed for an hour, and when she left, she was still reluctant to let go. What made her reluctant to let go was the kind of happy and harmonious atmosphere. It was not like when she was in the Zhennan Palace, what she said had to be in her heart. After a few laps, if you listen to it, you have to think about whether Cen has any overtones.

Su Li sent Ming Concubine and Chu Mochen to the door, Ming Concubine said, "Why didn't you see Third Cousin and the others?"

Su Li smiled and said, "Third brother left early in the morning, so I don't know what he's busy with."

Ming concubine just asked casually without thinking too much. After leaving, she took a carriage and prepared to go back to Zhennan Palace.

As a result, Ming concubine inadvertently asked, and after getting into the carriage, Chu Mochen put his arms around her and said, "Do you really want to see your third cousin?"

A smell of vinegar hit her face, making her teeth sore, she said, "I haven't seen you for a long time, why don't you just ask?"

"It's as simple as asking a question?" Chu Mochen played with Ming Concubine's hair, but his eyes were fixed on Ming Concubine.

Mingyu looked at him, "Otherwise?"

Chu Mochen coughed lightly, changed the subject and said, "Would you like to visit the shop?"

Ming concubine shook her head, "It's better to say goodbye. If something happens on the street later, I'm probably not allowed to go out."

Just as Ming Concubine spoke, the carriage stopped suddenly. Ming Concubine leaned forward, and then hit Chu Mochen's nose backwards, causing him to gasp in pain.

Ming concubine lifted the curtain of the car, intending to ask what happened, when she saw several ferocious men dragging the man who fell on the side of the road aside, saying, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry."

The carriage of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion is luxurious and spacious, and at first glance, it is not something ordinary people can sit in.

A woman over there knelt down and begged, "Let my son go, please."

One of the men sneered and said, "It's only natural to pay back the debt. Your son owes us 2000 taels in the gambling house. If you don't have the money to pay it back, it's easy for him to have an arm. Is your son's life worth 2000 taels?"

The woman begged bitterly, and said, "Give me one more day, just one day, and I will definitely raise 2000 taels, please."

The woman kowtowed on the ground, knocking her head on the stone with a thumping sound.

The man glared and said, "Yesterday I went to ask you for money, and that's how I was prevaricating. If you procrastinate every day, you really think that the old man is very leisurely, and you are staring at you. This is the last chance. We can't see it tomorrow." By 2000 taels, you will need two arms for your son! One is the capital and the other is the interest!"

The woman thanked her repeatedly.

The men took a sip on the ground, turned around and left.

As soon as they left, the woman went to wipe the sweat from her son's forehead, but was pushed away by the man and said, "Didn't you go to the Zhennan Palace to ask for money, where is the money?!"

Concubine Ming thought this woman looked familiar, but now that the man mentioned Zhennan Palace, she frowned and said, "The other day, this woman went to Zhennan Palace to ask for money?"

Somewhere in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, a woman with plain clothes and wrinkled face can ask for money, and it's still 2000 taels. My intuition tells Mingyu that this is not about asking for money from relatives, but about catching someone. Going to blackmail a fortune.

It's just that the Zhennan Prince's Mansion offered 2000 taels, which one is easy to provoke, and can it be caught by someone casually?
Chu Mochen planned to ask Zhao Feng to ask, but he heard the woman say, "I'll send another letter, if it's really impossible, I'll go there in person, even if mother risked her life, she couldn't watch your arm get chopped off. "

Ming concubine looked at Chu Mochen and said, "Intercept her letter later and have a look?"

Chu Mochen nodded, "Go home."

The carriage moved forward slowly, and the woman just watched the carriage go away. Soon, the woman looked away in a panic.

In the distance, a carriage was running, and the curtain was raised, revealing Xi'er's delicate face with a bewildered expression.

Half an hour later, Ming Concubine and Chu Mochen returned to Zhennan Prince's Mansion. As soon as they got off the carriage, they saw a young servant leading the imperial doctor into the mansion, leaving in a hurry with a hasty look on his face.

Xi'er asked the boy, "Who is sick in the house?"

The boy replied, "It's the third wife."

Ming concubine's eyes moved slightly, could it be that the woman is related to the third wife?

Xi'er had a gossip face, her eyes sparkled and said, "Why is the third wife sick, and is it Aunt Tao's mother-in-law again?"

The servant made a silent gesture, "Be quiet, this time it's not Aunt Tao, it's the third young master and Princess Langhuan."

Xi'er's eyes were wide open, Ming concubine and Chu Mochen looked at each other, and after entering the mansion, they caught a young servant and asked, and the result of the question almost made Ming concubine's jaw drop.
