Red makeup against the world

Chapter 460
Seeing a group of people entering the main hall, Xu Le'an breathed a sigh of relief, took out the reward money he had prepared, and rewarded all the guards of honor who came with He Jin one by one.Everyone got two ingots of snowflake silver.

Immediately afterwards, they arranged for servant girls to serve them refreshing sour plum soup to quench their thirst.

These servants and guards in the palace are not people who have never seen money, but the Xu family is so generous in their actions, thoughtful and appropriate, and they have a high opinion of the Xu family in their hearts.

Afterwards, Xu Le'an commanded a few rough envoys and servants to go out with a few large baskets of copper coins, and sprinkled them among the hairy children and half-grown boys who came to watch the fun. Everyone had a share.

For a while, outside Xu's house was extremely lively.

The neighbors who got the reward were all smiles, and the children cheered and ran around in the alley.

"The Xu family is a good person. I always order fabrics at Jinxiufang. After so many years, there has never been a problem. No wonder there are such blessings."

"Yeah, last year when their master and young master were arrested and taken into Dali Temple, they all said that the Xu family was going to be ruined. How long has it been? Not only have people come out, but I see it is even more prosperous than before."

"What do you know? Xu's family is one of the best in Jiangnan Road, and the dead camels are bigger than horses. What's more, there is Tu Shanchang standing behind their house."

"Yeah yeah……"

With all the praise, there is no saying anything bad about the Xu family.

……

It was lively outside the door, but it was quiet inside the main hall.

With a foreigner around, it was really inconvenient for Xu Wan to show up, so after apologizing to He Jin, she took Yiren's order and went back to cover the house.

The rest of the guests were seated as guests and hosts, and Xu Changzong took out a palm-sized brocade box with sunflower petals and handed it over, saying: "A small gift is not a respect, please look at the angel Haihan."

He Jin opened it and saw a snuff bottle lying on the black velvet cloth.What is rare is that such a small square inch of land has carved a picture of a spring scene.The carving is exquisite, and even the expressions of the characters are lifelike.

He was overjoyed, picked it up and looked at it against the light, and laughed again and again: "It's a waste, it's a waste!"

Nafangzheng's eyeballs almost popped out of his eyes. He was considered one of the richest businessmen in Beijing. When had he seen such a valuable snuff bottle?Take it out, it is more than enough to buy a good Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs.

No wonder the Xu family was favored by the Empress Dowager. Such handwriting and such well-informed news made him feel ashamed.

Xu Changzong smiled modestly, and said: "I dare not take it. It was a child who accidentally discovered this thing when he was doing business in the past, and he didn't spend a lot of money. It would be a waste to put it here. It is a waste to put it here. It is a sword given to a hero here by the father-in-law."

This unrememberable flattery made He Jin feel extremely comfortable.He smiled and asked, "Is this the eldest son of Mr. Xu Bo?"

Xu Wenmin stepped forward and bowed his hands in salute, and said, "Xiaomin Xu Wenmin, I have met Mr. He."

He doesn't call him an angel or father-in-law, but an "adult" commonly used by officials.Hearing that He Jin was feeling well, he chuckled and said, "Sure enough, like a father like a son, he is also smart. What kind of job do you have now?"

"Back to Mr. He, Xiaomin is incompetent and has no errands yet. He only takes care of the family business."

"Oh? Your Xu family is Jinxiufang, right? Is it still there?" Before coming, He Jin naturally inquired about the situation of Xu's family.

Xu Wenmin smiled and said, "It's still there. If your lord likes any fabric, feel free to send someone to fetch it."

He Jin's heart skipped a beat, although he was on duty in the palace, he also set up a house in Beijing and raised a wife and concubine in earnest.Every time you rest and take a bath, you will come out to enjoy the blessing.There are free top-quality fabrics for wives and concubines, why not do it?

But at this time, apart from the Xu family, there was Fang Zheng here, and he couldn't help but secretly scolded Fang Zheng for being ignorant.

He had no choice but to say seriously: "You can take it, but the money will naturally be paid."

In an instant, the Xu family understood his concerns.

Mrs. Xu said with a smile: "Your Excellency is admirable! So please take care of your own business."

Xu Wenmin took over the conversation and said, "When will Mr. He take a bath? Xiaomin is waiting for you in the store."

He Jin nodded with a smile, this Xu family is very transparent from top to bottom, he likes dealing with such people.

"There are still five days. It's not easy. I have to go home and rest. If I have free time, I will definitely visit your store."

He received the decree of marriage, first went to the Zhongguo Duke's mansion, and then came to the Xu family.

It's not once and a half to go to Duke Zhong's mansion to announce the decree. How can there be such a good treatment in the Xu family?Look at him, his attitude is enthusiastic, he is generous, and he is extremely upright.

Thinking about the content of the Yizhi, I couldn't help but feel sorry for the Xu family daughter I saw just now.This woman looks very good, if she marries into Duke Zhong's mansion, she will be tortured by the Chen family!Chen's harsh treatment of the concubine is something that everyone in the capital knows.

……

In the back room, there was joy.

Even Qingmai, who has always been calm and reticent, laughed from ear to ear.

Qingluo was chattering there: "Miss, Miss, you are a pleasant person! Put on your imperial uniform quickly, so that the maidservant can also get a good job."

Wen Mulan was sincerely happy for the young lady, the young lady and the second young master of the Wu family finally achieved a positive result.She was given to Xu Wanzhen by Wu Zhengxiang through Qian Feng's hand to protect her.Ordinarily, her master is Wu Zhengxiang.But Xu Wanzhen not only rescued her in Yangzhou, but after getting along with her for so many days, her heart couldn't help but lean towards Miss.

Therefore, whenever Wu Zhengxiang came to meet Xu Wanzhen at night, it was the most tormenting moment for her.From the young lady's point of view, for the sake of the young lady's reputation, she shouldn't have let Wu Zhengxiang in, and even helped to cover up the traces.

Although she knew that the two had already made up their minds, she was still worried about the day before the two got married.

Amitabha, it is finally healed now!She kept chanting Buddha in her heart to thank the Bodhisattva.

Caisi and Sangzi waited for Xu Wanzhen to change into a pleasant uniform.With this title in her body, even though she is only of the fifth rank, Xu Wanzhen is no longer an ordinary commoner woman, but a high-ranking wife.Regardless of her background and her rank, she is even more noble than the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion.

If you really want to talk about it seriously, even Shi Jingyu has to salute when she sees her.

Qingluo applauded again and again, and said: "Miss is really pretty! Not only is she pretty, but she's also majestic!"

Everyone burst into laughter, what kind of word is this.

However, the pleasant imperial uniforms are not very luxurious, but they are made of golden silk thread that cannot be used by the people, which looks extremely dignified.Xu Wanzhen has filial piety on her body, and her usual dresses are all light colors.

Putting on such a beautiful and dignified dress suddenly is like a different person.

Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly, asked Caisi to help her take it off, and said: "It's best to leave it alone. I'm still doing my mother's filial piety, just try it, it won't suit you if you wear it for a long time."

In fact, she had doubts in her heart.

Ordinarily, Wu Zhengxiang was General Yunhui from the third rank.According to the rules of the court, the wives of civil servants and military generals from the third rank up will be granted the imperial order of the same rank.When the two got married, he handed over the brochure to the Ministry of Rites, saying that he was a third-rank Shuren.

Why is it unnecessary to do so now, and canonize himself as a fifth-rank pleasant person in advance?
