Red makeup against the world

Chapter 48 Disposal of the Painting Fan
The painting fan is used to being loose in front of Han Runiang, so where has anyone scolded her?His hands trembled in fright, and the whole box of rouge fell off, just falling onto Han Runiang's cloak. A good camel-colored cloak was immediately dyed a dazzling begonia color on the right side.

Madam Zheng frowned and said, "So careless!" She thought that this girl would not be able to stay with Han Runiang in the future. It doesn't matter if the girl is stupid, but it is the worst thing to be irresponsible like a fan fan.

Han Runiang has a weak temperament, and with her temperament, she can't hold her back at all.Remember to tell the lady when you look back, you need to change the girl.Otherwise, when she marries into the He family in the future, this girl will bring disaster to Han Runiang sooner or later.

Huafan was startled when he saw this accident.

This cloak was bought in "Yunshang" by Mr. He personally accompanying Han Runiang when he was still in Yangzhou City.The scattered flower pleats on the top are the best embroiderers of "Yunshang". They are embroidered one stitch at a time. There are hundreds of small flowers of various colors, layered and scattered at the end of the cloak. The swaying figure is like a flower blooming at the feet.

These were all introduced by the shopkeeper of "Yunshang" that Huafan had personally heard at the time. They were worth as much as 500 taels of silver.

Knowing that he had gotten into trouble, Hua Fan was frightened stupid for a moment.

Because the rouge box was thrown onto the cloak from Han Runiang's back, she still doesn't know what happened.Xu Wanzhen said: "The shopkeeper and Madam Zheng think of a way to see if it can be remedied?"

The female shopkeeper of "Huayan Pavilion" hurriedly stepped forward, took off the cloak and shook it gently, shaking off some of the rouge, but more of it was still attached to the cloak.Madam Zheng asked her to fetch white silk satin and clear water, slightly soaked the water with the silk satin, wrapped it around her right index finger, and absorbed the rouge on the cloak little by little.

Only then did Han Runiang see clearly the glaring begonia color left by the rouge on the cloak, and her pair of beautiful eyebrows were tightly frowned, feeling extremely distressed.Rarely, the voice was a little more severe, and said: "How could this happen? Is there any help?"

Madam Zheng said: "After I've dealt with it like this, I'll wash it carefully again, it shouldn't be noticeable."

But this kind of water milling effort is extremely time-consuming and exhausting.The female shopkeeper ordered her servants to tidy up a quiet room and come out, served tea, and invited the group of people to go in and rest.

Nanny Zheng spread out the cloak on the square table in the quiet room, handling it bit by bit carefully, with Sangzi assisting.

Han Runiang was sitting on the rosewood chair on the right. She was worried about whether the cloak would be intact, staring closely at Mother Zheng and the others, and had no time to do anything else.

Hua Fan knelt on the ground, his eyes blank.Xu Wanzhen drank tea expressionlessly, looking at her coldly.For a while, the quiet room was silent, and Hua Fan knelt on the ground, feeling more and more pressure and flustered in his heart.

Xu Wanzhen wanted to let Han Runiang handle it herself, the painting fan was her maid after all.But seeing that Han Runiang didn't care about this matter, she knew that when she was the daughter of an official family, she hadn't had time to be taught how to control servants, and she didn't realize the importance of training maids.

Xu Wan sincerely said: "Since this is the case, I need to discipline this girl for Sister Ru Niang. I will talk to her in detail later." Therefore, she didn't open her mouth, and was confused and restless by the painting fan. This girl needs to be taught a lesson.

After a while, the painting fan finally couldn't bear the pressure, cried "wow", knelt down to Han Runiang's feet, kowtowed: "Miss, I really didn't mean it."

Madam Zheng handled it skillfully and gracefully. Han Runiang, who was watching in a daze, was taken aback by Huafan's crying.Just as she was about to speak, she heard Xu Wanzhen sternly say: "Huafan, it is said that you are sister Ru Niang's maid, and I have no right to deal with it. But today's matter, do you know what is wrong?"

Han Runiang didn't know what to do, so she wanted to punish her for drawing a fan. Seeing her crying and being sad, she had served her for a few months, so she couldn't bear it; please forgive her, this cloak really hurts me, and her past behavior , I really don't like it.But I am not good at restraining servants, seeing Xu Wanzhen speak, I happily said: "Huafan, answer Wanzhen's younger sister's questions carefully." This is handing over the right of disposal to Xu Wanzhen.

Huafan saw this, so he had no choice but to reply: "Responding to Miss Xu's words, Huafan knew it was wrong, it shouldn't have sprinkled rouge on the cloak."

Xu Wanzhen squinted her eyes and said, "Oh? Only this mistake?"

The painting fan sobbed: "Also, you shouldn't pick up rouge casually."

Xu Wanzhen stood up and said: "Your mistakes today, first, taking rouge without Sister Ru Niang's permission to watch it is due to bad character; second, being careless and not prudent in doing things, it is because you are not competent for the work of a maid." After a pause, he asked, "What's the use of a maid like you who has a bad character and can't work?!"

The painting fan was so frightened that he sat down on the ground.She thought that according to Han Runiang's temperament, she could expose the matter with a few words of begging for mercy, but she didn't expect Xu Wanzhen to punish her. Is this to drive her away?

Han Runiang showed unbearable expression, Xu Wanzhen gave her a reassuring look, and signaled her to be calm.

Huafan came to his senses, crawled over and hugged Han Runiang's leg, and wept incoherently: "Miss, miss! The slave really didn't do it on purpose, so please forgive me! By the way, it was Madam Zheng who suddenly taught me a lesson. I, the servant girl, can't hold the rouge firmly."

Mother Zheng sneered when she heard the words, she kept her hands on the job, and said without squinting: "You know that troubles can be diverted from east to west, you are not bad!"

Xu Wanzhen said coldly: "If you can sincerely repent, and let you go. Now it seems that you don't know that you made a mistake."

Huafan heard the words and cried: "Miss Xu, I know I was wrong, I will never dare to do it again next time. If you don't dare to make assertions, you will be a big man. I beg you to let me go."

Seeing Huafan crying so badly, Han Runiang's expression of unbearable expression became more and more serious, so she almost asked for mercy in person.

Seeing this, Xu Wanzhen sighed secretly.I wanted to take this opportunity to get rid of this restless girl, but I also had to take Han Runiang's face into account.The relationship between sisters with different surnames is delicate, so there's no need to make Han Runiang feel uncomfortable for an insignificant little girl.Besides, it's better to be in Suzhou than to find a suitable maid to replace her after throwing out the painting fan, and Han Runiang can't live without a maid to serve her.I had no choice but to deal with it lightly for now, and slowly talk to Han Runiang about the rest of the matter.

"Since you are sincerely repenting," Hua Fan heard Xu Wanzhen's tone loosened, and hurriedly got up and knelt down. Xu Wanzhen then said, "Then I will forgive you. You will be deducted half a year's monthly report, and you will return to 'Moon Xiaju'. You will be fined to kneel in the middle of the yard for three hours."

Han Runiang was relieved to see this dealt with.

The painting fan lay on the ground, with hatred towards Xu Wanzhen in his eyes, he kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Miss, thank you, Miss Xu." She got up and tidied herself up, and silently stood behind Han Runiang.
