Red makeup against the world

Chapter 34 The Beauty Cousin
Han Runiang heard that He Qingsong had thought so carefully, although he said it lightly, but asking Mrs. Xu to recognize her as a distant niece is actually a debt to the Xu family.

The favor of the second son of the He family is more valuable than gold.Being able to do such a thing for herself, she was extremely moved. She couldn't help but hold his hand with a pair of soft hands, with tears in the corners of her eyes, she said: "It is the greatest blessing in my life to meet the young master."

He Qingsong was distracted, and embraced her in his arms, warm and fragrant, and immediately filled with pride, he said: "Ru Niang, please rest assured, with me, you will have a good life."

The two returned to Xu's house after eating, Han Runiang returned to Shuyunju, He Qingsong begged to see Mrs. Xu, and talked about it.

Mrs. Xu had pity for Han Runiang, and considered her a distant niece. She could not only help her, but also make Mr. He owe a favor, so why not do it?
Immediately agreed, and said: "Please rest assured, Second Young Master, I will definitely take care of this matter. I remember that there was a side branch of the Tu family, who was extinct. Let them recognize Ru Niang, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds? Such parents and relatives All four corners are complete, and the plan is perfect. Although Ru Niang was originally the daughter of Beijing, but fortunately, there are not many people who are raised in the deep boudoir, and the He family is far away in Songzhou, HN. Small."

He Qingsong was overjoyed when he heard the words. Of course, this kind of method is more appropriate than the identity of a distant niece, and it can stand scrutiny and investigation.Immediately saluted and said: "Thank you, old lady, for your help."

Mrs. Xu waved her hand and said: "Second Young Master, you don't need to be too polite. Mother Ru is a child that I love very much. I will arrange this matter when I go to Beijing."

The two discussed some details about going to Beijing, the method of handing over the bank notes after arriving in Beijing, etc.

He Qingsong handed Han Runiang's money for food and clothing to Madam Xu, but Madam Xu refused to accept it, saying: "Although my Xu family has fallen, there is no shortage of food and clothing for a little girl." That being said, He Qingsong had no choice but to do so.

When Han Runiang received He Qingsong's news, she was filled with grief and joy.

The sad thing is that once he recognizes other people as his parents, the father who loves him can only live in his heart. The mother was so heartless back then, so it doesn't matter if I don't mention it.The good news is that after this operation, I will regain a new identity and start a new life.

He Qingsong sent another box of head jewellery, several hundred taels of silver bills for her.

The little girl who served Han Runiang bought the painting fan on the road after He Qingsong accepted Runiang. She didn't teach the rules, and her eyes that looked around were very clever.Where did she see so many good things, she couldn't help picking up a malachite gilt walking stick with exquisite workmanship, and said enviously: "Miss, Second Young Master He is really kind to you."

Han Runiang was used to these jewelry when she was the daughter of an official family, so she didn't take it seriously.Seeing the painting fan went to get it, she was not happy, but she was soft and weak, so she just let the painting fan put the step back into the box.

When Xu Wanzhen went to pay Mrs. Xu good-bye in the evening, Mrs. Xu talked about it.Xu Wanzhen said happily: "Then I have an extra beautiful cousin?"

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Look at what you said. To do this well, we need to work carefully after arriving in Beijing. Now that we have done it, we must strive for perfection."

Xu Wanzhen smiled slyly, and said: "You want to make He Ergongzi's debt of favor even greater." The grandparent and grandson looked at each other and smiled.

In the blink of an eye, it was the Lantern Festival on the 15th day of the first lunar month, and the masters of Xu's family, Han Runiang, and He Qingsong all gathered in Mrs. Xu's warm pavilion, preparing to eat glutinous rice balls together.Besides the glutinous rice balls, Mrs. Xu also ordered people to reconcile the noodles, and prepared dumpling fillings, including fish fillings, water shield vegetable and beef fillings, etc., and brought the chopping board, and everyone made dumplings by themselves.

Mrs. Xu smiled and said to the crowd: "It's hard to eat dumplings in Jiangnan, but it's hard to eat these fillings when you go to Beijing."

He Qingsong agreed: "What the old lady said is that the dumplings we make at home are all stuffed with leeks and celery. How can there be fish so tender and water shield so smooth." He waved his hand proudly and said: "Since there are such delicacies, My Hejia restaurant is not well-decorated, so the old lady will definitely be able to eat it in the capital."

In the north, no matter rich or poor, high or low, they will make dumplings by themselves during the New Year, as a good intention. Of course, it is a meaning for the masters of rich families to make dumplings.

He Qingsong's dumplings are filled with a lot of fillings, and the dumplings are neat and generous, sitting in a row on the upper left of the chopping board; The ground was placed under He Qingsong's dumplings; Mrs. Xu took out a few small coins and wrapped them in the dumplings. They were well-regulated, of moderate size, and placed them in the middle of the chopping board.

Xu Wanzhen added that she had never made dumplings in her previous life, but thanks to her ingenuity, she made them in a good shape after a while. At the beginning, the buns were crooked, and then the bread was neatly placed on the right side of the cutting board.

As for Xu Wenyu, instead of making dumplings, he was just kneading dough for fun. He didn't wrap a few dumplings, but he pinched a shapeless rabbit with flour all over his face. Everyone couldn't help laughing at it.

The glutinous rice balls and dumplings were served steaming. After Mrs. Xu picked up the chopsticks, everyone ate happily.

The child loves sweets, and the nanny was afraid that he would eat too much glutinous rice, so Xu Wenyu pouted to act like a spoiled child to Mrs. Xu.Mrs. Xu pinched his chubby face and pointed to the food in the bowl: "Look, what is this?"

Xu Wenyu saw that the little rabbit he pinched was cooked, and his eyes lit up immediately.Pouting out his greasy little mouth, he gave Mrs. Xu a "baji" kiss, and he ate happily.

Han Runiang said "Oops", Yingyingtan spit out a piece of money, and Xu Wanzhen said: "Congratulations, sister Runiang, having money is boundless blessing."

Mrs. Xu said: "Mother Ru is a child with good fortune."

This kind of liveliness made Han Runiang feel the warmth of family, so I don't want to say more words of thanks, just keep them in my heart.

After dinner, everyone dispersed.He Qingsong took Han Runiang to watch the bustling Lantern Festival in Suzhou City, the nanny took Xu Wenyu down to get ready for bed, and Xu Wanzhen accompanied Mrs. Xu for a walk in the garden to digest food.

Mrs. Xu was a little emotional. The Lantern Festival was supposed to be a day of reunion, but this year the Xu family was separated.

I don't know if we can get together during the Lantern Festival next year?The case of the eldest son Xu Changzong weighed heavily on her heart like a big rock.As the backbone of the Xu family at this moment, she must not show any weakness on weekdays, she must make a calm posture so that the Xu family will not be in chaos.

Xu Wanzhen helped her to walk slowly, feeling that Mrs. Xu's mood was a bit depressed, so she changed the subject and said, "My granddaughter doesn't know yet, but how many cousins ​​are there in the capital? Grandma should tell me about it."
