Red makeup against the world

Chapter 271 Drag

The grandfather and grandson were discussing, Xu Wenmin strode in, greeted Mrs. Xu first, and hurriedly asked: "I heard this news in the city last night, and thought it was a rumor, so I didn't go to it." Take it to heart. Didn't expect to actually come to propose marriage? This is too ridiculous!"

Turning her head, she saw Xu Wanzhen sitting on a high-backed rose chair beside her, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sister, don't worry, with my brother here, I won't let you suffer any grievances."

Seeing the eagerness on his gentle face, Xu Wan's heart felt warm, and she said softly: "I'm fine, why is elder brother here? Father's body is not well yet."

A few days ago, Xu Changzong's father and son had moved back to Jiashanfang. Xu Wanzhen sent someone to send a message to Su Liangzhi, asking him to temporarily live in Xu's house to recuperate his father's health.Great-grandfather's health is already very good, and he will no longer need acupuncture at the beginning of May. Su Liangzhi only needs to take his pulse at intervals and change the prescription.

"Father is fine, and my little uncle is taking care of her. Hearing this, Daddy was worried about my sister, so I asked me to take a look at the situation. How is it now? I met an iceman on the way here just now, what did she say of?"

Xu Wanzhen told him what matchmaker Gan said, together with the results of the analysis she had just discussed with her grandmother.

Xu Wenmin has been in business with his father since he was 15 years old. At that time, the Xu family was the leader of the silk industry in Jiangnan Road, and their business was on track.Even though the business was cumbersome and the business was highly competitive, no real difficulties were encountered.He was young and quick-witted, and when he was in high spirits, his temper could not help being a little impulsive and impatient.

Xu Changzong originally thought that he would hone him for a few more years and experience more things, and he would naturally become calm, so he didn't blame him too much.

Until this time, he was tricked by Zhen Tianlu into signing the contract, which led to disaster and his mother died of illness.Xu Wenmin learned from the painful experience, introspected every day in prison, and chewed everything in his past experience repeatedly in his heart.The transparency of the world is not comparable to that before being imprisoned.

He frowned when he heard that his younger sister's marriage had turned into a dispute between King Qi and the crown prince.It's about the royal family's high winds and rough seas, and if one is not good, the Xu family's ship will capsize.In the previous year, he just supplied a batch of clothing materials and was implicated and imprisoned.Wouldn't the dispute between these two princes be more dangerous?

"Brother, it's because of my younger sister's fault that the family is affected. It took you and daddy a long time to get out of prison, and our Xu family can't stand any more storms."

Xu Wanzhen supported Sangzi's hand to stand up, and said resolutely: "Since neither of us can afford to offend, let's delay it in the name of my filial piety. This situation will not last long, if it is true that it will still be like this two years later , that means my sister’s life is bad. I combed my hair and never married.”

Xu Wenmin looked at her distressedly: "How can you blame my sister for this matter. Don't worry, let me think of a way."

Bowing his head and pondering for a moment, Xu Wenmin said: "Fan Duwei's place is fine, Mrs. Zhu came to the door and did not disturb others. But there is too much movement on the side of Mr. An Guogong's son. What is he thinking, I will ask him about it." understand."

After speaking, she was about to go out, Xu Wanzhen hastily held him back: "Don't worry, brother. How can you enter the Duke's Mansion if you go like this?"

Xu Wenmin paused, and said, "My sister reminded me. I'm going to ask my great-grandfather for a name card."

Xu Wanzhen nodded and let him go.

Mrs. Xu looked at the worried look on her face, and comforted her: "You don't have to worry too much. It is right for Wen Min to go and find Shi Shizi. We just wait for the news with peace of mind. This matter is not rushed. .”

After all, let Sangzi help her go back to rest, and it is serious to take care of her body right now.

Xu Wanzhen walked back to the west wing slowly, but thoughts kept turning in her mind.In such a situation, it is not suitable for Wu Zhengxiang to propose marriage again.At this time, it is of no benefit to meddle between the crown prince and King Qi.Fortunately, her filial piety period is two and a half years, so she can take her time.

……

At the Prince Chu's mansion, Wang Danruo, the side concubine, was dressing in front of the mirror in the room.

Looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, she couldn't help but sighed.Flowers are beautiful, but they need people who love them.In my whole life, I may have been childless like this, and died of old age in this mansion.

She is not yet 20 years old, she should be in the prime of life, charming and charming, but she seems to have seen the desolation of her own evening scene.

On such a day, even if you enjoy the glory and wealth, so what?What can I do if I have my fate?Is it just to enjoy the envious eyes of others when communicating?But whether the life is good or not, only you know.

The younger sister complained that she had no wrists and didn't know how to fight.But in this backyard, there must be capital to fight.The king of Chu is stingy with giving himself even the slightest wink, so how can he fight?I can only let Princess Chu flatten and round her.

Wang Miaoyan came in from the door, walked gently to her and stood still.

Wang Danruo motioned for Qingyan, the close servant girl, to guard the door, before he said to her: "Sister, what do you want to do?" in a rather helpless tone.

Wang Miaoyan leaned down and whispered softly in her ear, speaking urgently and quickly: "It's not what I want to do, it's what Princess Chu wants me to do. Sister, don't you know that she wants me to do something to Pingguo?" The eldest son Liu Qiran prescribes medicine to achieve good things with him. Then he is exposed in full view and threatens Liu Qiran to marry me as the eldest son and concubine?"

"What?" Wang Danruo heard this for the first time.She only knew that Princess Chu took Wang Miaoyan to socialize around and had other plans for her marriage.But I never thought that it was such a vicious arrangement.

"Sister, your life is too muddled!" Wang Miaoyan said contemptuously: "I came to the Chu Palace because of Sister. I didn't expect you to ignore me. When I saw the Princess Chu, I told you The mouse is like a cat! You just let that woman manipulate you? If I were like you, how could I stand here and talk to you today."

Looking at the beautiful figures of the two sisters in the mirror, Wang Miaoyan said: "Sister, look, our sisters are inferior to other people in addition to their backgrounds? If I also listen to that woman, of course I can marry into the Pingguo Duke's Mansion. Became the princess of the world. But with the name of seducing Liu Qiran before marriage, how will I live in the future? Isn't everyone in my husband's family bullying me? Isn't the reputation of our Wang family trampled into the mud? !"

Hearing what she said, Wang Danruo shed two lines of tears in a daze.

Every word my sister said pierced her heart fiercely.It's because she is incompetent, unable to gain a foothold in the Chu Palace, unable to protect her sister, but what can she do?

Seeing the guilty look on her face, Wang Miaoyan's eyes flashed a look of shame, and finally convinced her.

After a pause, she continued, "Because I didn't want to do such a scandal, that woman grounded me, and Dongxue's whereabouts were unknown. Sister! Dongxue is the maid who grew up with me, named The master and servant are like sisters. I went to Beijing with me, but I didn't expect to encounter unexpected disasters!"
