Red makeup against the world

Chapter 426 Listening to Grandma
Cai Si glanced at her, and said: "What are you talking about? What do you mean it's really coming? Mrs. Zhuang handed over the post yesterday. The majestic Mrs. Anguo Gong, is it still fake? I just don't know, so I came to the door on purpose. What's the matter?"

Xu Wanzhen concealed her excitement, and slowly put down the account book in her hand.She couldn't be more clear about the purpose of Madam Zhuang's visit.Wu Zhengxiang said long ago that as long as she passed Wu Jiao's level, she would ask Mrs. Zhuang to come and protect the matchmaker.

It seems that the design in the other courtyard of An Guogong's mansion was not in vain, Wu Jiao and the Chen family behind her really believed it, and her pretentiousness was not in vain.

After changing the clothes for meeting the guest and asking Caisi to comb her hair again, Xu Wanzhen walked slowly towards Ronghui Hall.At this moment, Mrs. Zhuang and her grandmother are probably talking about her marriage, so she doesn't need to arrive so soon.

In Ronghui Hall, Mrs. Xu said in surprise: "Madam said, is it true?"

Mrs. Zhuang said with a smile: "It's absolutely true. When Mrs. Wu came to the door, I was as surprised as the old lady. The Zhongguo's mansion picked a daughter-in-law, and it actually picked Wanzhen. I asked someone to inquire again. Although the name of Zhongguo Gong Shuzi is not well-known, he is a good one."

"For the sake of Wanzhen, madam has a heart." Mrs. Xu thanked her.

"Old lady, you're welcome. Wan is really a good boy, and she's my adopted daughter. In terms of love and reason, I have to do something for her."

Mrs. Zhuang explained in detail what she knew: "The population of Duke Zhong's family is simple, and Mrs. Chen has only one legitimate son, who is currently serving as Wu Lie, the commander of the Beiya Army. A legitimate daughter came to ask me to protect her. The matchmaker's Mrs. Wu, her boudoir name is Wu Jiao. The relative is Wu Zhengxiang, who was crowned in the old year and is now nineteen years old. He has not heard much news on weekdays. He has just been awarded the title of General Yunhui of the third rank. "

Mrs. Xu pondered for a moment, and said: "Although our Xu family has returned to Beijing not long ago, we also heard that Mrs. Zhongguo is very harsh on this bastard?"

Mrs. Zhuang nodded, and said: "Everyone in Beijing knows about this matter. Therefore, Duke Zhong has no other heirs. Although Chen's name is aunt, she is not a serious mother-in-law. What is rare is that I After some inquiries, Wu Zhengxiang kept himself clean, he didn't have a housemaid, and he was only served by servants when he went in and out."

"Ma'am, do you think this is a proper marriage?" Mrs. Xu asked.

"Yes, in my opinion, it is more suitable than Fan Bin." Mrs. Zhuang said slowly: "Fan Bin is certainly excellent, but he was born as an orphan after all, and General Long is far away in the western border. There is no family support behind him, and he is all on his own If Wanzhen marries in the past, it will inevitably be difficult."

Mrs. Xu knew in her heart that Sun Zhitao and Fan Bin were both rejected by her granddaughter.Mrs. Zhuang came to talk about Wu Zhengxiang, but he could think about it carefully.

"Madam is very considerate, and I will allow myself to think about it. It is a very important matter, and I need to discuss it with my family."

Mrs. Zhuang smiled and said, "It should be so."

Xu Wanzhen stepped into the door, and said politely: "Zhen'er pays respects to grandma, I have seen my stepmother."

"Good boy, get up quickly." Mrs. Zhuang pulled her up, looked around, and said, "I heard that you are helping grandma with housekeeping? You are really capable."

Xu Wanzhen said modestly: "They are all old people that my grandmother is used to, I am just helping, it is nothing."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Mrs. Zhuang got up to say goodbye, and said: "What I said just now, old lady think carefully, I am waiting for the letter."

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Okay, I will save my life. Zhen'er, send your foster mother out."

After sending off Mrs. Zhuang, Xu Wanzhen returned to Ronghui Hall.Mrs. Xu was leaning on the big welcoming pillow, closing her eyes and meditating.She didn't dare to disturb, so she stood quietly aside.

After a cup of tea, Mrs. Xu opened her eyes, saw Xu Wanzhen, and asked, "Madam Zhuang is gone?"

"Yes, grandma." Xu Wanzhen replied with a bow.

"Zhen'er, do you know what she is here for today?" Mrs. Xu asked with a smile.

There are hundreds of daughters in the family, and she was worried that she would be affected by the Sun family's resignation, which made Xu Wanzhen's marriage hard to say.But in this capital city, good marriages have already come to their door one after another.

Xu Wanzhen calmed down and said, "I really don't know."

"Duke Zhongguo's Mansion, do you really know? Their family has a simple population. Mrs. Zhuang came to the door today to talk about marriage for Wu Zhengxiang, the concubine of their mansion. Madam Wu came to ask for this marriage in person, which means that the Duke of Zhongguo's mansion Everyone agrees with this matter, what do you think?"

Hearing her grandmother's words, Xu Wanzhen only felt her heart beating wildly. It was one thing to guess in her heart, but it was another thing to actually hear it and turn it into a fact.She covered her heart with ecstasy, lowered her head and said, "At the Peony Flower Festival, my granddaughter saw Wu Zhengxiang from afar."

"Then what do you mean?" Mrs. Xu asked.

"Zhen'er listens to grandma." After saying that, a blush appeared on her pink cheeks.

Seeing her state of mind, what else does Mrs. Xu not understand?It turns out that the two have already met, no wonder there will be this marriage proposal, it seems that it is your love and my wish.

"That's the best way. If there is no problem, I will discuss it with your father and brother. Mrs. Zhuang said that if it can be confirmed, the two families can exchange tokens first. After you have become a filial piety, you can exchange Geng Tie."

Xu Wanzhen lowered her head, and said in a soft voice, "But it's arranged by grandma."

Mrs. Xu smiled heartily, she also came here from a young age.Seeing the rare and shy granddaughter, I remembered that she also had such a girlish feeling.This marriage seems to be quite good.

When Xu Wanzhen stepped back, she asked Yulu to pass Xu Le'an in.Instruct him to inquire carefully about the affairs of Duke Zhong's mansion, no matter how big or small, especially the various news about the concubine Wu Zhengxiang.

Girlish feelings are one thing, but as Xu Wanzhen's grandmother, she has to be responsible for her marriage, which is related to her future life.

……

As the night darkened, Xu Changrong walked into the house in the dark. Xu Wenyu, who was guarding the door, rushed forward and said, "Father! Why is it so late? I left some snacks for you."

Xu Changzong stretched out his arms to hug him, and said with a smile: "It rains too much these days, I need to arrange more people, and watch them move the warehouses in those low-lying places."

It is said that "caring for grandchildren but not children", but Xu Changzong cherished the relationship between parents and children even more after going through a catastrophe.

Xu Wenyu asked in a daze, "What does moving the warehouse have to do with the rain?"

"Brother Yu, this warehouse is located in a low position, so it will be flooded if it rains too much?" Xu Changzong asked persuasively.

"Oh! I understand! If the warehouse is flooded, the silk in it will be flooded." Xu Wenyu was very happy after understanding the truth.

"That's right." Xu Changzong said: "This silk is related to the livelihood of many people. Once it is flooded, not only will the hard work be destroyed, but also the livelihood of these people will be lost. It is not easy for ordinary people to live. When you become an official, remember to be considerate of people's livelihood."

"En!" Xu Wenyu nodded seriously.
