Red makeup against the world

Chapter 673 The price of growth

As Tu Manfen's mother, since Mrs. Li said she was not in a hurry, Xu Wanzhen listened quietly to the following.

"We are here today, and we also want to hear the young lady's opinion on this matter." Li Shi said: "Manfen was rescued by you, we all take your opinion seriously."

Xu Wan was really surprised, the tone of discussion in this way was to treat her as a peer rather than a junior.Li's doing so obviously obtained the consent of the Tu family.

She got up and saluted lightly, and said: "Auntie, you are being polite. Even if you don't tell me, Zhen'er originally planned to go to the academy in the afternoon to see my great-grandfather whom I haven't seen for a long time, and tell you about mine by the way. view."

Mrs. Li turned sideways with elegant demeanor, and only received a half-courtesy: "We handed over the Heli document to the Cheng family. However, the Cheng family refused to sign on the pretext that Cheng Jinghao was recovering from illness. Yesterday the official media came to remind me, but was beaten come out."

Seeing the Cheng family's reaction now, Mrs. Li felt that they might want to waste this matter forever.

For Cheng Jinghao, apart from the absence of his first wife, what impact does it have?You can still take a concubine, hug the left and the right.For Tu Manfen, these wasted time is her flowery years.

One day before reconciliation, one day she will bear the name of the daughter-in-law of the Cheng family and will not be free.

"What did great-grandfather say?" Xu Wanzhen asked.Ordinarily, Tu Shanchang would never sit back and watch this situation because he protected his weaknesses so much.If he made a move, the Cheng family would have no choice but to give in.

Yan shook his head and said: "We still keep this matter from our grandfather. He is more than a few years old. As juniors, we only hope that he can spend his old age in peace. How can we bother him with these trivial matters. Really , This is what we came here specifically to say, when you see your great-grandfather, you must not reveal your secrets."

So that's the case, Xu Wanzhen nodded.No wonder Mrs. Li and the others came to her, but there were reasons like this.

"Auntie, Cousin Manfen is here, she just told me that even if the reconciliation is successful, she will not go back to live with her natal family." Xu Wanzhen said: "Great-grandfather's place can be kept a secret for a long time. "

"This child..." Hearing this, Li Shi was startled, then understood the reason, took out a handkerchief to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said, "If she doesn't go home, where else can she go?"

Xu Wanzhen said softly, "Don't worry, Auntie, I am on good terms with Mr. Ning. She is Cousin Manfen's teacher, and now she is alone in Beijing, with the friendship of mentor and apprentice, she will not ignore her cousin."

Tu Manzhen nodded repeatedly and said, "It would be great if my sister went to Mr. Ning's place!"

Xu Wanzhen said again: "The last time I entered the palace, the empress dowager told me that as long as the imperial order uniforms are completed, someone will be sent to the mansion to reward the second-rank imperial order status. I think it should be soon, why don't I get the imperial order after I get the imperial order? Go to the Marquis Mansion of Anping to find out what's going on, and then play it by ear."

She is thoughtful, and with her current status as a fifth-rank pleasant, when she comes to Mrs. Hou's place, she is also a junior.

But when the second-rank Madam is conferred, even though she is a junior, she is comparable to Lin Anjia in terms of status, and behind her stands the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion, so she is not afraid that the Marquis of Anping's Mansion will not take her seriously.

Li Shi nodded gratefully, originally she just wanted to ask Xu Wanzhen for advice, but she didn't expect that she would personally help.With her current status, it is human nature to be willing to help, but it is normal to not want to help.

After discussing this matter, Xu Wanzhen smiled and said: "I just came back from my eldest cousin, so I won't accompany you there any more." She raised her voice and said, "Sangzi, wait for my eldest cousin to go to the east wing."

Xu Wanzhen found an excuse and left time for Tu's family reunion.

Tu Manfen was lying halfway on the bed, and Madam Zheng told her not to use her eyes, so she couldn't read, so she quietly thought about her thoughts.

Hearing the sound of footsteps outside, Bai Yao opened the curtain, Tu Manzhen blew in like the wind, and shouted happily: "Sister!"

Mrs. Li came in right after her, and when she saw the eldest daughter lying on the bed, although she forcibly endured it, tears still rolled down her cheeks disobediently.

Tu Manfen said with a smile: "Mother, don't have to feel sorry for me. In the past, I lived to marry, and married to live to have children. Now, I want to live for myself."

Under Xu Wanzhen's persuasion, the initial confusion has long since passed.Instead, it is yearning and longing for a new life.

Mrs. Li wiped away her tears, quickly stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed, said: "My son, it's useless to be a mother, but you persuaded me."

Tu Manzhen held her mother in one hand and her sister in the other, and said with a smile: "The three of us have not been together for a long time, but it will be convenient in the future. Mother, please don't be sad, and my sister will live a better life in the future."

Yan Shi also persuaded: "Sister-in-law, you can see that the children are so capable, you can finally rest assured!"

With tears in her smile, Li choked up and nodded.Having said that, if she had to choose, she would rather Manfen was still that proud girl than this sensible and well-behaved girl.

The price of growth is painful.If someone pampers you all the time, who will become sensible overnight?
Bai Yao brought refreshments, put them on the table, put away the tray and said in a low voice: "Young Madam said, these refreshments just made by the chef are specially brought to the first aunt, the second aunt, and the other two. Cousin to taste."

Tu Manzhen picked up a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake and put it in her mouth, giggling and said, "Thank you young lady for me."

Tu Manfen whispered about her future plans: "Mother, no matter whether we can reconcile or not, I don't plan to go back to the Cheng family. I will stay with Mr. Ning with the cheek. It's not that I don't want to go home, it's just that I don't want to Great-grandfather was disappointed."

She is as talented as a man, and Tu Shanchang has high expectations for her.Teach her to write the first word by hand, hold her in your arms and read the first poem.She still remembered the excited look in his old man's eyes when she wrote the first poem.

Even on policy theory, Tu Shanchang taught her how to solve problems and establish righteousness.In the end, he always patted her head and sighed: "It's a pity that you are a daughter, and you can't take the first prize. But after learning these things, you can enlighten your children in the future."

Mrs. Lin objected to Tu Manfen's teaching to Tu Shanchang, saying that a woman's lack of talent is virtue, and knowing too much is not good for her.However, Tu Shanchang really didn't want to let go of such a high-quality beauty, and still taught her her own way.

It can be said that 100% of Tu Manfen's talents come from Tu Shanchang, and [-]% from Mr. Ning.And her pride comes [-]% from her great-grandfather.

I am the child of the great Confucianism in the dynasty who hugged the child of the Jiaoda University, how can those boudoir daughters compare?

However, no matter how proud he was at the beginning, how painful the fall is now.Such a self, what face is there to face the great-grandfather who loves and looks forward to him?

Looking at her earnest eyes, even though Li Shi felt pain in his heart, he had no choice but to nod his head and agree to her request.
