Red makeup against the world

Chapter 309 The Big Secret

Mothers, of course, worry about their children.I am afraid that my daughter will be unkind to others, and that my daughter-in-law will be unfilial.Often after taking a fancy to a person, they will repeatedly inquire about the other person's family background and character before proceeding to the next step.

Even if it is a concubine and a concubine, their aunt will plan for them.Whether it is to use them for political exchanges, or to really want them to live well, or for her reputation as "tolerant and kind", the aunt will also arrange marriages for them.

But these are all inapplicable to Wu Zhengxiang.

Chen's dislike for him has intensified ever since he was smashed by Dingguo Gong Wulie.Right now in Beijing, everyone knows that Mrs. Chen hates the concubine, and no one will bring up Wu Zhengxiang's marriage in front of her.

As for herself, she no longer hides it from her predecessors and her descendants, completely throwing away the mask of motherly kindness and filial piety, and she has no intention of marrying him in the slightest.Mother He once mentioned to her that just marry a daughter from a small family and stop everyone's mouths.

But Mrs. Chen only sneered: "No matter what kind of woman he marries, he will have a wife. I only hope that he will be lonely and widowed for the rest of his life, without children and grandchildren." Hearing the hatred, Mama He shuddered, and never mentioned this matter again.

No matter what thoughts Mama He had in her mind, Wu Zhengxiang from behind the rockery said, "I heard that Miss Cao's third is pretty good. We are all born from concubines, and we are both from the Duke's mansion, so we are well matched."

The servant said: "I think so too. What's more, she has been raised by her aunt since she was a child, and she has a good relationship with the three daughters of the Cao family. The Cao family is also the mother's family of the current queen. I don't dare to do anything to Miss Cao's third."

Wu Zhengxiang's voice sounded: "You're right. If someone from another family marries in, I'm afraid that woman will take advantage of it. It's not too late. If she just gives me a girl, I'll be in trouble. Tomorrow you go to Beiya and wait for elder brother. I'll make an appointment." He went to Zuibailou to drink."

Footsteps sounded behind the rockery. It seemed that the two were about to leave. Mother He hurriedly lowered her figure and hid herself deeply between the grass and the rockery. If you didn't look carefully, it would be difficult to find someone hiding here.

Wu Zhengxiang and the boy came out, and when they passed Mama He, Wu Zhengxiang paused.

She was so shocked that she quickly held her breath. Hearing that the second young master is very skilled in martial arts, could it be that he has discovered himself?
I only heard Wu Zhengxiang say: "In the future, we will talk about this kind of thing in the outer courtyard. Her people are everywhere in the back house. It will be troublesome if people hear it."

The servant said respectfully: "Yes, master! I came back a little late today, and I didn't know that you had just returned to the back house when I arrived at the study. Thinking about this matter, you have specifically explained it, and you have to report the results immediately before you chase after him." Come here."

Wu Zhengxiang looked around, only the breeze was blowing in the garden, and it was very quiet. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Fortunately, it's lunch break, and no one comes out to walk around. You did a good job, just pay attention next time."

The servant saluted and retreated, Wu Zhengxiang stood there for a while before leaving.

Mother He clutched her beating heart, still squatting in place.Scared by him, she wasn't sure if he really went away.

After squatting for about half an hour, she went back and forth a few times in her mind what the two of them had just said, and was about to go out after confirming that everything was missing.

But he saw Wu Zhengxiang's figure returning from the same path, walked around the rockery and slowly circled around, and left after making sure that there was no one there.

He returned the carbine this time, killing Mama He by surprise, she hurriedly covered her mouth and nose and did not dare to breathe.After squatting for another quarter of an hour, she only felt her legs go numb, and then she stood up from the bushes where she was hiding.

As soon as he stood up, his legs and feet felt weak and he almost fell to the ground.After squatting for too long, the blood was blocked, and itching came from the bottom of the feet, like thousands of little ants crawling over.

Mother He gritted her teeth and slandered: "This little woman has a lot of eyes at such a young age."

It's just that she also knows that she can't stay here for long, if he turns around again, wouldn't all previous efforts be wasted?Regardless of the itching in his legs and feet, he hurried to the main courtyard.

Not long after she left, Wu Zhengxiang turned around and looked at her hurried back with a smile on his lips.

……

Mrs. Chen hadn't gotten up from her lunch break, and Mother He kept a big secret in her heart. She was restless and completely forgot about serving bird's nest porridge.

It has been Chen's habit for many years to drink a bowl of bird's nest porridge after lunch break.That's why mother He would go to the kitchen to serve bird's nest porridge during lunch break.After going back and forth, just in time for Mrs. Chen to get up, rinse her mouth and drink porridge.

She got up that day, and Chun Shan, her personal maid, cleaned her face and rinsed her mouth.Even though she just took a nap, Chen's complexion was still sallow, and she couldn't see any energy.

Mother He lifted the curtain and came in, and Mrs. Chen glanced at her, and was a little annoyed to see that her hands were empty.So many years of errands, to forget!

Seeing her eyes, Mother He suddenly remembered that she was only paying attention to what she heard, and completely forgot about the bird's nest porridge.

Busily knelt on the ground with both knees, and said: "Madam, please forgive me. I have something important to report to Madam."

Chen's face darkened, and said: "Get up and answer. Chunshan, you go and guard the door."

Mother He got up, took two steps forward, and recounted the conversation she had heard in its entirety.At the end, he said: "Ma'am, you must not take him lightly. Think about it, how can he, a mere bastard who is not liked, come to be so capable that he can find out all these ladies?"

"You mean someone is helping him?"

Mother He nodded, and said: "He hasn't returned to the house for several years. Who knows who he has met? If he really succeeded in planning to marry Miss Cao Fifth, Madam wants to make it happen It depends on whether the Cao family behind is willing or not?"

Chen sneered: "Hmph! Just rely on him? How could the Cao family be willing to marry Fifth Miss to him."

"That's not the case, ma'am." Mother He said earnestly: "If it were in the past, it would be impossible. But he just won the award, and the third-rank General Yunhui is at this age. How many people are there in Beijing? He is not seeking to marry a concubine, but a mere concubine can win over a third-rank military general, and I think the Cao family will be happy with this deal."

Chen was silent for a while, even though she was extremely unhappy in her heart, she had to admit that Wu Zhengxiang's current status was not what it used to be.Heart ruthless: "I shouldn't have allowed him to grow up! He should have drowned in the basin long ago."

As Wu Zhengxiang got older and spent more and more time outside the house, the Chen family gradually felt helpless towards him.I don't know how many times I have said this regretful sentence over and over again.

Mother He persuaded: "If he really dies, it will be a hindrance to Madam's reputation. Madam, what do you think should be done about this matter now? Tomorrow he will go to see the young master. According to the foolish opinion of this old slave, we have to catch up with him." Before that, stop the young master."
