Red makeup against the world

Chapter 554 Difficult to Sleep
I don't know how long it took before Tu Manzhen was shaken and woke up from the intoxication.It was only after seeing the water marks all over the ground that he realized that he had been fooled by him again.

Liu Qiran wrapped her up in the cloak, carried her back to the bed, and coaxed her softly, "Hey, sleep well."

Tu Manzhen felt her back sore and her legs weak, she lay back on the comfortable bed, and felt drowsy, so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyelids open.Still thinking about what was on his mind, he said in a daze, "What should I do about my eldest sister?"

Liu Qiran laughed, he was so sleepy, did he forget about it?

"It's a simple matter. I'll call Cheng Jinghao out for a drink in two days and it'll be settled. Then I'll tell you, you just bring a load of gifts and go to Cheng's house as a guest."

"Really?" Tu Manzhen was about to fall asleep, and hearing what he said was easy, she couldn't help asking.

"I promise." As soon as Liu Qiran finished speaking, Tu Manzhen fell asleep.

After covering her with the quilt, Liu Qiran embraced her and fell asleep, thinking in his heart that he should give Cheng Jinghao a good beating.It is said that it is difficult for an honest official to decide on housework, but fortunately, he can still bully others, so this matter is not difficult.

……

In Zhongguo Gong's mansion, Wu Zhengxiang sat in the room without lighting the lights, just looking at the completely new layout of the house by the moonlight outside the window.

The Babu bed is the style of furniture in the south. The fine huanghuali wood is carved with exquisite begonia patterns, and the festive red silk yarn is used as the curtain.The sour branch beauty couch is placed by the window, next to it is the dressing table with huanghuali hollowed out begonia pattern, on which there are dowry boxes, cosmetics and perfumes in different categories.

He closed his eyes, as if he saw Xu Wanzhen living here, dressing up in front of the dressing table in the morning light, and asked him with a smile which hairpin was more suitable?
Wu Zhengxiang shook his head abruptly, when he opened his eyes, the room was still deserted and dark.Only the big red happy letter box placed in the corner reminds him that tomorrow is a good day to greet him.

He reminded himself that he must be patient enough to wait for her to wake up.Even if she doesn't wake up for the rest of her life, I will be with her and take care of her for the rest of her life, and I will be with her from life to life.

The barren courtyard outside the house has long since changed its appearance, and there are no wild grasses growing everywhere.Under the moonlight, the bluestone slabs in the courtyard glow faintly, and the pavilions and pavilions in the courtyard have been repaired, restoring the grand scene of the past.

Only the quietness in the courtyard was as usual, and the servants were still only Xiaocao and the two women.

Duke Zhongguo originally planned to send him enough servants, but Wu Zhengxiang refused them all.Who knows if these servants have Chen's eyeliner?If possible, he didn't want the first two wives.But the yard is really too big, and even if the grass does not touch the ground all day long, it will not be able to finish the work.

Wu Zhengxiang looked at the dowry list sent by Xu's family. In addition to the twelve female guards he sent over, she also accompanied a nurse in charge and four maids: Mother Zheng, Caisi, Sangzi, Qingmai, Qingluo , and the Sifang family who helped her manage the dowry, and Wen Mulan.

These manpower are not enough for this yard.Wu Zhengxiang planned to discuss with Madam Zheng when she got married, and buy a batch of poor maids, sweeping maids, and little maids to serve in the yard, so that Mrs. Chen could not find any chance to play tricks.

This night, he didn't intend to sleep, and he couldn't sleep.He simply flew to the roof, sat cross-legged, and began to adjust his breath.

In Duke Zhong's mansion, there are many people who can't sleep like him.

Mrs. Chen whispered to Mother He: "When we get married tomorrow, I will give Fan Qianqian to him. With such a delicate beauty in front of me, I don't believe he won't be tempted."

Mother He said: "Madam is wise. I still remember that the second young master was dumbfounded when he saw Fan Qianqian for the first time two years ago."

Chen smiled, the stiff muscles on his face looked a little sinister under the candlelight: "Let Fan Qianqian give him some more medicine, as long as he can't hold it, we will take her in."

According to the rules of newlyweds, the room cannot be vacant for a month to show respect for the woman.If Wu Zhengxiang took a concubine in the first month of his wedding, it would undoubtedly be a slap in the face to the Xu family.

This is what Chen has in mind.

After all, the Xu family has the backing of Empress Dowager Xiao, otherwise, in just over two years, the Xu family can go so smoothly and grow their business so big?
Once this matter is publicized, the Xu family will definitely not be able to swallow this breath, and will definitely come to the door.The Chen family planned to hand over Wu Zhengxiang and let the Xu family handle it themselves.Once such a scandal comes out, Duke Zhong's government will definitely lose face, but Mrs. Chen can't care about it anymore, she just wants to see Wu Zhengxiang's misfortune and regret it.

Mother He asked hesitantly: "But, what if Xu Wan is really awake?"

Chen curled her lips in disdain, and said with a sneer, "It's been almost three years. How could she wake up from a disease that even the imperial physician can't figure out? In my opinion, she won't wake up in ten or eight years."

Having made up her mind, Mrs. Chen said with satisfaction: "When Xu Wanzhen won the favor of Empress Dowager Xiao, that bastard even deliberately pissed me off. At that time, I'm afraid he never imagined that today, he is not a good daughter-in-law, right?"

Mrs. He complimented her a few words before Mrs. Chen went to bed. Thinking of Wu Zhengxiang's situation after getting married, she gloated and fell asleep.

But in this mansion, there is still a person tossing and turning.

In the room, Wu Sheng was sleeping soundly, but Lu Shi closed his eyes and thought about something.

During the day, the ten miles of red makeup sent by the Xu family hurt her eyes. As younger siblings, they married a concubine. Even with the backing of Empress Dowager Xiao, how dare the Xu family be so flamboyant?
Didn't they inquire about her dowry before sending it?
Mrs. Lu is the youngest daughter of Mrs. Lu, the minister of Taichang Temple. There are many brothers in her family. She finally got such a daughter. The whole family loves her like a treasure, and even invited Mr. Ning to teach her.

She did not live up to everyone's expectations, she was graceful and elegant, she knew everything about piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and she behaved like a fairy who had accidentally entered the mortal world, even the rudest person could not say a word of foul language in front of her.

Being able to marry into the Zhongguo Duke's mansion is the greatest recognition for her.

However, Taichang Temple is in charge of ancestral temple etiquette and teaches world music, but it is an out-and-out Qingshui yamen.When she got married, the family tried their best to buy her a 64-carrying dowry so that she would not be able to straighten her back in the Duke's mansion.When she got married, her dowry was envied by those boudoir handkerchiefs.

However, the Xu family took out 120 and [-] yuan without any hassle, and ostentatiously swaggered through the market.

The dowry of the younger sister-in-law should not exceed that of the eldest sister-in-law. Although this is not a superficial rule, everyone obeys it.The purpose is to make the newly married bride into her in-law's family not to be jealous, so that she can slowly gain a foothold.

The more Lu Shi thought about it, the more restless he became.The Xu family is really deceiving people!
