Red makeup against the world

Chapter 566 Lunch Break
Contrary to the tranquility of Zhiyuanju, two servant girls have been punished in succession in Zhengchun Courtyard.Lu's presiding over Zhongfu has always been fair and decent, and it is rare for him to get angry for no reason.

Only her dowry maid, Xue Zhu, knew that the imperial concubine was sulking, and this sulking was not supported by Wu Sheng.

Last night, for Wu Zhengxiang's marriage, Wu Sheng managed to come back one more day, but before going to bed, the two had a quarrel.

"Husband, I only carried the dowry 64 when I got married. You see, my younger siblings accompanied 120 to carry the dowry, and the empress dowager gave her a face. Tell me, where should I put my face in the mansion?" Lu Shi was full of grievances.

But Wu Sheng gave her a strange look: "It's just a dowry, what does it have to do with face?" He couldn't understand the twists and turns in the back house.

Lu Shi said: "I'm the mistress of the house, and I have to be the elder in everything. The Xu family did this because they didn't take me seriously, and didn't take you seriously. What do they want to do?"

Wu Sheng comforted her: "My brother and sister are in a coma now, the Xu family will provide more dowry, it's just for my daughter, don't think about it."

"Why am I thinking nonsense?" Lu put the comb heavily on the dressing table: "Now in the capital, who doesn't know that Xu's family is rich? But if you have money, you have to know how to spend it. Just pass me like this." , I am afraid that others are laughing at us, and we are in-laws with a merchant."

Hearing what she said, Wu Sheng also became angry: "What is a merchant? Xu Wan is really a person that the Empress Dowager values. With the Empress Dowager here, why does her more dowry hinder you? What does it have to do with us?"

Lu Shi was at a loss for words, and felt that the two of them really couldn't agree on each other.It's fine for him to protect that concubine brother wholeheartedly, but now he even protects his younger siblings together.The two of them were speechless for a whole night, Wu Sheng waited for the confession and returned to Beiya, leaving only Lu's heart still.

Xuezhu knew what was on her mind and waited on her carefully all morning. Finally, she didn't want to think about it, but she heard that Su Liangzhi and Princess Chunhe came to the house to see Xu Wanzhen.

She was so angry that Lu dropped a pastel teacup, and the little girl who came in to pick up the pieces was a little slow, so she punished her to kneel on the porch.Xuezhu made another cup of tea for her, but Lu Shi said the water was too hot and fined her for a month.

Even Xue Zhu was fined, and everyone became more cautious.Lu Shi was full of aggrieved, but couldn't find anyone to tell, thought for a while and said: "The next post is going to Anping Hou's Mansion, I will invite their third wife to come to the mansion to enjoy the flowers."

The third wife of the Marquis of Anping is Tu Manfen.When she and Lu Shi were in the boudoir, they exchanged handkerchiefs and cherished each other.It's just that she was married two years before Lu's, and she was married to the Duke's Mansion, so it was inconvenient to communicate, so the friendship gradually faded.

Later, Tu Manfen married Cheng Jinghao, and since they were married, they had to be more free in communication.The two met again at the banquet and renewed their friendship.It's just that Tu Manfen didn't spend much time out of the Hou's residence, and the two of them didn't get to meet each other a few times.

Lu Shi, who was unhappy because of Xu Wanzhen, thought of Tu Manfen again, and thought that the two were cousins, so he wanted to ask her to find out if Xu Wanzhen was real or not.As a sister-in-law, if she doesn't want to suffer, she must preemptively strike.

……

If it is said that Lu's mood is not good, the Zhengchun Courtyard is clouded.Then the atmosphere in the main courtyard can be described as a violent storm.

Mother He stood behind Chen in horror, watching her cut the pair of brocade bird beaded hibiscus shoes on the table into pieces with scissors one by one.A good pair of shoes turned into a pile of waste, and the hibiscus flower was broken under her knife.

What was even more frightening was Chen's expression at this time.Her eyes were fixed, and she didn't know what to mutter in her mouth.

The whole courtyard was full of people, and they all avoided the main room far away.Mrs. Chen beat and scolded at every turn, she clearly knew that she was in a bad mood at the moment, and no one wanted to make trouble for her.

After cutting the hibiscus shoes, Mrs. Chen said slowly: "Such a daughter-in-law can't be beaten or scolded, and she doesn't even want a little maid under her hands, what use is she?"

Mother He didn't want to talk at first, so she had no choice but to persuade her: "Ma'am, don't be angry with her. She is good-looking, and the second son is just greedy for something new. After this month is over, it will not be too late to deal with her slowly."

This is not an effective suggestion, but Mrs. Chen seems to have grasped a life-saving straw, and said with bright eyes: "You are right, let this month pass first. My lord has a lot, so I will let her go this month first." One horse."

……

After recognizing their relatives, Wu Jiao and Wu Chenghe returned to the Shangshu Mansion.

Wu Chenghe didn't have any serious errands on him, he had been a recruiter for a long time, but Wu Shangshu read his article and said that he still lacked some enthusiasm, he didn't end in this year's Chunwei, he was afraid that he would fall into the second class and get a fellow Jinshi background.

Therefore, apart from feasting and composing poems with his friends, he spent most of his time studying hard in the mansion.

Today I accompanied Wu Jiao back to Duke Zhong's mansion, and it was almost time for dinner when I came back, so I didn't go to the study, and the two took a lunch break together after dinner.

Wu Chenghe changed clothes and lay on the bed, remembering the scene of confessing his relatives in the morning, Chen's face was really embarrassing.He thought in a daze, why didn't he see that Mrs. Chen was such a person at the beginning?
In front of herself and Wu Jiao, although Chen didn't talk much, she could tell at a glance how much she loved her daughter.

He always thought that the rumors about the Chen family were wrong.It wasn't until today that he discovered that Chen's other face was as rumored.

"What are you thinking about?" Wu Jiao asked after she came out of the clean room and lay down beside him.

Wu Chenghe glanced at her and said, "I'm afraid you won't be happy if I tell you."

As soon as Wu Jiao heard it, she knew that he was thinking that what Chen did wrong in the morning.In fact, deep down in her heart, she also felt that Mrs. Chen had done a little too much.But as a daughter, can she say her mother's, can't she?

Turning over, Wu Jiao felt a little depressed: "You don't know how much my mother has suffered, and she doesn't want to become like this."

Wu Chenghe patted her on the shoulder to show comfort, but he didn't take it seriously.It's not that he hasn't heard about what happened back then, but her reaction was a bit extreme.As long as there is a little bit of power in this capital, which one is not three wives and four concubines, as for it?

What's more, he admired Xu Wanzhen who had just married into the martial arts family. It had nothing to do with the relationship between men and women, but pure respect for her personality.Appreciate her as the daughter of a merchant, who can have such a mind.

The two have been married for nearly five years, how could Wu Jiao not know about his emotional changes?

But in this matter, it was indeed his mother who did something wrong and deliberately found fault, so Wu Chenghe took it lightly.Wu Jiao didn't want to discuss this matter any more, so as not to humiliate herself.

……

During this lunch break, Xu Wanzhen slept for an hour and a half before getting up. When she opened her eyes, she felt that she had had enough sleep and felt refreshed.Wu Zhengxiang had already gone out, and Sangzi heard her movement and came in to help her wash up.

"Second Young Master told us not to wake you up, he went to the outer courtyard to read."
