Red makeup against the world

Chapter 7
In a blink of an eye, Mrs. Xu's burial ceremony was over. The tea master looked at the auspicious date and calculated the time of burial, and it would take seven days to stop the coffin before the burial.

Mo Zhu waited at the back corner door of Xu's house for three days, but Ge Ma didn't come out, so he went to the back alley to find Ge Ma's aunt, and asked her to deliver the message, asking Ge Ma to come out.

Aunt Ge Ma is in charge of the small kitchen in Mrs. Xu's courtyard, and she has a few hand skills. The man Xu Dayou drives the car for the owner, and the family has a lot of face in Xu's house.Of course she knew about the Sun family's resignation, and seeing Mo Zhu said coldly, "Hey, look who this is? He's really a rare visitor."

Mo Zhu bit the bullet and said: "Ma'am, there is really a very important matter, please help me accommodate it."

Aunt Ge Ma, who is Xu Dayou's family, snorted coldly: "I don't dare to take it seriously, do our two families have anything else to say?"

Mo Zhu begged repeatedly, Xu Dayou thought that he must have something to do, agreed to him and asked him to wait in the house.

After changing clothes, Xu Dayou hurriedly came to the courtyard of Yingyun Pavilion, grabbed a little girl who was sweeping and asked, "Where is Ge Make?"

The little girl replied: "Miss just came back from the mourning hall, she was exhausted these days, Ge Ma waited for her to rest in the room."

After waiting for a while, seeing Ge Ma come out of the room, he hurriedly gestured for her to come over.

Ge Ma was surprised when he saw his aunt. Although they were related, they each had their own jobs in Xu's house, and they didn't have much contact with each other. They only got together when they returned to the back alley.It was the first time that he made a special trip to find her like this.

"What is my aunt looking for?"

Xu Dayou said the reason again, and said: "I think there is something really wrong with him. He has been waiting for several days, and it will not be for nothing."

Ge Ma thought for a while, "Miss just fell asleep, so it doesn't matter if I go to see him." He said bitterly, "If I'm interceding for his young master, I don't think I can spare him."

Mo Zhu was circling anxiously at Xu Dayou's house, wondering if Ge Ma would agree to come to see him.Seeing Ge Ma walking in, he couldn't help but let out a long breath of relief.The task assigned by the young master is finally half completed.

Ge Ma asked him coldly, "What do you need from me?"

Mo Zhu explained the young master's instructions carefully. Seeing that Ge Ma was puzzled, he gave Ge Ma the personal seal of the Ninth Young Master, and said, "Miss Xu recognizes this small seal, so you must give it to Miss Xu." Ge Ma agreed, and hurriedly warned: "You must not tell anyone about this."

Ge Ma was sullen: "You think I'm stupid? It's about Miss Qingyu, I'll talk about it everywhere?" Mo Zhu said awkwardly, "I'll be at the back corner door when I apply tomorrow, waiting for your reply."

Ge Ma thought for a while and said: "It's better to stay at my aunt's house. There are many people in Jiaomen these days, and there are many people who know you and me, so I'm afraid that any gossip will spread."

After Mo Zhu left, he told Xu Dayou's family that he must keep it secret. He knew his aunt Ge Ma very well. After more than ten years in charge of the kitchen, he knew what to say and what not to say, and his mouth was extremely tight.

Returning to Yingyun Pavilion, I saw that the young lady hadn't got up yet.Ge Masi thought about it, and it is said that the two families are already discussing the divorce. If the ninth young master of the Sun family is good for the young lady, he should avoid suspicion. He doesn't understand why he wants to meet the young lady at this juncture.

Xu Wanzhen has been exhausted for the past few days, the emotions that belonged to her original body have been grieving, and she was dizzy from crying.In addition to being a vegetarian during the mourning period, the whole person lost a lot of weight and looked overwhelmed.

Mrs. Xu saw her and drove her back to her room to rest after the funeral was over.This time, I slept until it was getting dark before waking up.

Sangzi heard the movement and brought hot water to wash her up.After applying a hot towel to her face and rinsing her mouth with tea, Xu Wanzhen was completely awake.

After all, he was young and in good health, so he recovered most of his energy after a good night's sleep.I heard Sangzi say: "The old lady ordered that the condolence guests have dispersed, the young lady and the young master don't have to go there for the next few days, and take good care of themselves."

After a pause, he continued: "Miss's grandmother's family came to report that Mrs. Su and Mr. Su's boat was blocked on the way, and they will arrive tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."

Xu Wan really thought of her grandma, who had a kind face and a hale and hearty spirit. When she was young, she followed her grandfather all over the world to practice medicine.It was only after I had a child that I opened a clinic in Changzhou and settled down.

The two raised three sons and one daughter together, and they did a great deal to A Niang and his own baby.Now that Auntie is gone, grandma still doesn't know how to be sad.Asked: "Why is it blocked?"

Sang Zi replied: "The family member who reported the letter said that when they reached Sanhe Wharf, the river ahead was blocked by the officers and soldiers of Jiangnan Road Governor's Mansion. After some inquiries, they said that they were arresting water bandits under their subordinates. The old lady Su sent him first Come overland to report."

Xu Wanzhen was worried when she heard this, the journey was not peaceful, and she hoped that her grandmother and uncle could arrive safely.Then I heard Sang Zi say: "The old lady has already sent someone to wait at the pier for a few days."

Seeing Ge Ma walk in at this moment, he bowed his knees and said, "Miss, I have something to report here." After saying that, he looked at Sangzi.

Seeing this, Sangzi was about to retreat, Xu Wanzhen said: "No, you should listen to it too. You are all people I trust." Sangzi was moved.

Ge Mahjong repeated Mo Zhu's words, and took out the small seal of Master Sun Jiu and handed it to Xu Wanzhen.

Xu Wanzhen is of course very familiar with this small seal. Master Sun Jiu often brought her some playthings from his daughter’s house such as round fans and makeup mirrors. To avoid suspicion, he never wrote letters. Instead, he carefully wrapped the playthings with paper and stamped this small seal , enough to see that he really cares about Xu Wan.

Ever since Mrs. Sun San came to divorce her engagement, and seeing Fang Xiaoyin again, she feels that things are right and people are wrong.

Xu Wanzhen thought for a long time, and said to Ge Ma: "You tell Mo Zhu that after A Niang is buried, she will perform Qiqi ceremonies in Guangren Temple. Mrs. Sun San should come, and we will find a chance to meet at that time."

Although the two families have agreed on the intention of retiring the engagement, Mrs. Xu will not invite a matchmaker to make the resignation document until at least July [-].In the eyes of outsiders, Xu and Sun's family are still in-laws, and the Sun family should come to worship Mrs. Xu's July [-]th ceremony.

Ge Ma responded, and said doubtfully: "After listening to Mo Zhu's words today, I have been thinking about it, but I still can't figure out what happened to the Ninth Young Master. Does Miss know?"

Xu Wanzhen said: "There should be some clues about Dad's case. The Sun family is a scholarly family, and the official connections accumulated over the years are intricate, which is beyond our imagination."

Just after washing, the nanny brought Xu Wenyu to arrive.These days, Xu Wenyu became more and more attached to Elder Sister, and the two went to the main room together to greet Mrs. Xu.

Yulu has already set up a meal in Bisha Pavilion, and Mr. Xu and Niu are also there.Biluo helped Mrs. Xu out, and Niu stepped forward to serve her attentively.

Mrs. Xu glanced at the deserted people. The eldest granddaughter Xu Wan was really quiet; the grandson Xu Wenyu's face was so thin that his chin was pointed;I can't help but recall the excitement when Mrs. Xu was still there, and my heart is sour.

After dinner, Mrs. Xu told Biluo: "Add eggs to Yu'er's meal and milk for breakfast. The child is growing up, so he can eat these things." Biluo agreed.

Seeing Mrs. Xu was going back to her room, Mrs. Niu tugged on Mr. Xu's sleeve, and Mr. Xu said hesitantly, "Mother, I have something to do."

Seeing Xu Changxing speak, Mrs. Xu said: "I know what you want to say, and I will discuss it after finishing the Qiqi ceremony." Niu was secretly happy when he heard this.
