Red makeup against the world

Chapter 687 Sun Renjian

Sweet-scented osmanthus fish sticks are made from the freshest and tender parts of mandarin fish, deboned and de-stabbed, cut into fish sticks and coated with poria powder, and deep-fried when the oil in the pan is seven minutes hot.When the color is bright yellow, take the pot and pour the prepared sweet-scented osmanthus sauce.Fresh, sweet and crisp, with a lingering fragrance on the lips and teeth.

Wu Zhengxiang ate to his heart's content, picked up a few chopsticks for Xu Wanzhen, and then ate up the fish sticks with a bowl in his hand.

Xu Wanzhen couldn't help but smile, her husband's habit of eating sweets is really consistent.When I have free time, let Feng Xing's daughter-in-law teach me a few more hometown dishes. Suzhou cuisine must suit my husband's appetite very well.

……

One day later, Jiashanfang, Xu's house.

Mrs. Xu got up, and grandson-in-law Zhu came to invite Ann, and had breakfast with her.

She doesn't have the habit of embarrassing her daughter-in-law, maybe it's because she's getting older, looking at these water-like women, she thinks of herself back then.

I am not familiar with the place where I married to Jiangnan Road, and my mother-in-law is very kind to me.So at this time, what reason do I have to make things difficult for a granddaughter-in-law who is also married from afar?
The Zhu family is trustworthy, even if something happened to the Xu family and all the family property was sold off, they did not regret the marriage.Now that he doesn't hesitate to let his beloved daughter marry far away, he should treat her well to repay the Zhu family for their unwavering grace.

"Grandmother," Zhu said after breakfast, "Yesterday, I received an invitation from the Sun family in Zeshanfang. It is said that on the [-]th of next month, Sun Hanlin and Miss Liu's family will get married and invite us to come Go to the ceremony."

After all, let the personal servant girl hold a pen and present the invitation.

"Sun Hanlin." Mrs. Xu accepted the invitation, slightly absent-minded.

The Sun family in Zeshanfang is naturally the Sun family who had been engaged to Wanzhen since childhood. When Sun Zhitao was the top student in high school, the Xu family saw the friendship from the same hometown, and specially sent people to help Sun Zhitao.

So, is he finally getting married?Thinking of the Sun family's stalking, and thinking of Sun Zhitao's deep affection for his granddaughter, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

It doesn't matter if they are married, the Liu family is a scholarly family.Speaking of which, the help to his official career is far greater than that of the merchant Xu's family.

Liu Bocheng was both his tutor and his father-in-law, and after he selected the No. [-] Scholar, he successfully became a minister of the Imperial Academy. Among them, the Liu family should have contributed a lot.

Although his father is not a thing, Sun Zhitao is a good boy.I only hope that he will have a bright future in the future, Mrs. Xu thought silently.

Although Mrs. Zhu didn't know about the past, her natal family was also in Jiangnan Road, how could she not have heard of these rumors?
The Xu family and the Sun family have been engaged for many years, and there was an uproar when the marriage was withdrawn.Many people who have been favored by the Xu family pointed at the Sun family's backbone and scolded them as snobs who are following the trend.

When she was in her natal family, the Sun family was often used by her father as a negative teaching material.He taught her: "Although our Zhu family is a small family, we should not be as cold and ruthless as this Sun family."

Therefore, although the Zhu family has never dealt with the Sun family, they are familiar with them.Knowing that there was such a connection, she deliberately picked out this invitation and presented it to Mrs. Xu, asking her to make up her mind.

If not, she has been the head mother of the Xu family for two years.If it's just an ordinary invitation, just prepare a gift and send it as usual, why do you need to ask Mrs. Xu to show it?
Seeing Mrs. Xu lost in thought, Mrs. Zhu didn't bother, and waited quietly.

At this moment, Qing Ju walked in gently, and said: "Madam, the third master of the Sun family has arrived."

What is he here for?Mrs. Xu frowned.It's just that Cao Cao Cao Cao is here, don't think she doesn't know, it was the third master who insisted on retiring the engagement.

"Please come in and meet me in the flower hall." For Sun Zhitao's sake, meet him and listen to what he has to say.

Sun Renjian entered the door with a look of shame on his face. When he saw him, he said politely: "Madam, I really have no face to see you."

"Okay!" Mrs. Xu didn't want to talk nonsense with him, and said: "You and I know what happened that day. Why are you talking about it hypocritically now? Your third master has always been in the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. Please speak up if you have something to say."

You don't have to be polite to him, Mrs. Xu is already giving the sky a big face by seeing him.

Sun Renjian's face was sad. How did he know that the Xu family not only did not collapse, but soared into the sky?Xu Wanzhen turned out to be a celebrity in front of the queen mother, such a good daughter-in-law, it would be great if it was his!
Unfortunately, it's too late to say anything now.

At that time, he retreated from the Xu family's marriage by seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages, and he also weighed the pros and cons.Although he was worried about Tu Shanzhang, the Tu family was separated from the Xu family after all, and they had no real power, so even if they wanted to manage it, it would be nothing more than embarrassing him.

However, seeing that Xu Wanzhen was favored by the empress dowager, he was not the only one who followed suit in the world.The Sun family took advantage of other people's dangers to do such things as retiring the marriage, which was originally despised by scholars. They were a bit on the sidelines, but everyone shouted and beat them.

In the past few years, Sun Renjian's life has been quite uncomfortable. A county magistrate has not had a bright future yet.The Sun family used resources in Beijing to operate in many ways, but no one dared to accept his gift.

After all, his son has become promising and has become the first champion since the founding of the country to win three consecutive awards.Sun Renjian thought he had finally made it through, but found that it didn't help his situation.

This is about to become an in-law, and Liu Bocheng, as the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, even dismisses him.He also said to keep himself safe and not block his son's future!This made Sun Renjian, who wanted to climb up, extremely aggrieved.

I thought I could rely on my son to get on the Clippers, but found that there was no place for me on this ship!Even with his father's prestige, the son just responded with a few words in a neutral manner, but did not make any substantive statement.

After much deliberation, he realized that the key to all this was to divorce the Xu family.However, Xu Wanzhen is already married, and it was the marriage bestowed by the Queen Mother. In the high-ranking Duke's Mansion, can he still turn things around?
Therefore, taking advantage of the opportunity of returning to Beijing for his son's wedding, he specially came to visit Xu's family.First explore the Xu family's tone, and then find a way to get the Xu family to make a condition, how can I let myself go.

Mrs. Xu's attitude is not good, which has long been expected by him.With Sun Renjian's face, he was naturally indifferent.

At that moment, he put on a smile, bowed slightly and said: "Our two families were neighbors when we were in Suzhou. Now in Beijing, we are not only fellow villagers, but also grateful to the old lady for taking care of the dog. Sun has always been in office. Because of the dog's marriage, yesterday I just arrived in Beijing, so I hurriedly came to thank the old lady."

Zhu Shi watched coldly from the side, she was a junior and there was no room for her to speak here.But it didn't prevent her from secretly despising this third master Sun in her heart.

After all, he is a scholar and a Jinshi, how could he be so shameless and groveling?And he said it so grandly, as if the Sun and Xu families are good friends.
