Red makeup against the world

Chapter 742 Loneliness

As she said that, Madam Zheng rewarded her with a purse, "Take it and buy some delicious food for my grandson."

Mrs. Luo weighed it in her hand, and she was so happy that she could see her teeth but she couldn't see her eyes. She brought out a scorpion and said courteously: "You should sit down first, and I will go right away."

Mrs. Xu was walking in the courtyard, and Yulu helped her walk slowly.As she got older, for the sake of her children and grandchildren, she cared more and more about her body, thinking not to make trouble for the children.

The second son is about to arrive in Beijing, and every time she thinks of this, she feels very happy.After being separated for several years, the family is finally reunited.

"Yulu, what day is it today?"

"Back to the old lady, today is October 25." Yulu knew what she was thinking, and said with a smile, "I guess it will arrive early next month."

In the past few days, Mrs. Xu kept counting the days and asked several times, waiting for the day when Xu Changrong arrived in Beijing.

"It said in the letter that I don't intend to leave this time when I come back. I don't know if I can do what I want?" She believed in her son's judgment, but she couldn't help but worry about it.

"Old lady, just be careful. When did the second master say something that didn't count?"

Slowly walking around, the little maid Qing Ju said: "Old Madam, Mother Zheng who is next to Missy is here."

"Please come in quickly." Mrs. Xu replied, she couldn't help but think, it's not a festival, why is she here?Could it be that something happened over there?

Thinking of this, the hand holding Yulu couldn't help tightening.

Yulu said comfortingly: "Ms. Xu misses you, and sent someone to visit you. You will know when you see Madam Zheng. Don't worry, old lady."

Mrs. Xu nodded, she would naturally know what happened when she saw someone.

"I have met the old lady." Madam Zheng greeted calmly.

Mrs. Xu looked at her, and seeing her calm face, she breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile, "Get up, did you really ask you to come and see me?"

Mother Zheng said: "Go back to the old lady, I want to come here myself."

After considering her words, she said: "Today the second son went to Jiangnan, and the young lady was so sad that she cried a lot. The old man coaxed her to sleep first, and boldly came to rescue the soldiers."

Mrs. Xu was surprised, and said with a smile: "This child." She, who has always been the most calm, would cry bitterly when her husband left Beijing?Mrs. Xu really couldn't think of it.

"Tell me, what's your idea?"

"Young Madam loves Master Yu the most. I think about it, I will take Master Yu to live for a few days. If there is someone to worry about, maybe I won't think about other things."

Mrs. Xu nodded, and said: "That's a good idea. Yu'er will be in Shenzheng when she gets home, just wait a little longer. I will have dinner in my yard at noon, and I will accompany you, the old woman, by the way."

"It's an honor to be with the old lady." Madam Zheng replied with a smile.

……

Xu Wanzhen fell asleep and woke up, not knowing where she was in a daze.

After looking at the furnishings in the house, he remembered that he had returned from the other courtyard, and he had also gone to Jiangnan.A feeling of loneliness lingered faintly in her heart.

"Young madam, the manager of the Zhou family is here." Bai Yao came in and reported.

Xu Wanzhen tried her best to cheer up and said, "Let him wait in the flower hall first. I'll change clothes before going."

Bai Yao ordered the little maid to send a message, and she took care of Xu Wanzhen to wash and change her clothes.

Even at this moment, her expression was gloomy and she was doing a little makeup, but she couldn't hide her soul-stirring beauty.Xu Wanzhen didn't feel anything, but Bai Yao was shocked.

When they arrived at the flower hall, Zhou Xuan was paying respects: "Young madam is well."

"stand up."

"Young Madam, my father has already combined the birth date, please ask the fortune teller to see the auspicious day. I am here to ask the Young Madam to show you." As he said, he presented a piece of red paper.

Bai Yao took it and showed it to Xu Wanzhen, there were several auspicious dates written on it, from the twelfth lunar month to next February.

The father and son of the Zhou family are worthy of being businessmen, they are extremely thoughtful and appropriate in their actions.They didn't know Xu Wan's true intentions, so they simply wrote down the next auspicious days and let her choose.

Xu Wanzhen chose one and said, "It's the eighteenth day of the first lunar month." She wanted to keep her hometown for another year, as the weather gradually warmed up in the first month, it was time for weddings.

"Young Madam is thoughtful, I thank you for your kindness." Zhou Xuanzheng had a clear mind, and when he saw the day, he knew her plan.

He was amiable and even more festive when he smiled.Talking about such a happy event again, it was rare that a smile appeared on Xu Wanzhen's face.

Bai Yao breathed a sigh of relief in her heart, it seemed that Sangzi's idea was good.

In other words, how did Zhou Xuanzheng come so coincidentally this week?It was Sangzi who was really sad to see Xu Wan, and Xu Wenyu would not arrive until at least in the afternoon.After thinking about it, I came up with such an idea.

After finishing the business, Zhou Xuanzheng scratched his head and said with an embarrassed smile: "Young Madam, I want to meet the girls from Sangzi. The caravan came back this time and brought some gifts for the girls."

Nowadays, when they are engaged, unmarried couples can meet in an open and honest manner.However, the two parties have to avoid seeing each other one month before getting married.

Seeing his somewhat cramped expression, Xu Wan couldn't help but smile heartily at such youthful feelings.

"You only think about Sangzi and her sisters, why don't you bring me a gift?" Xu Wanzhen teased him.

"Ah?" Zhou Xuanzheng opened his mouth wide in surprise, scratched his head and said, "I... I am afraid that my wife will not like my things."

What is his status?It's just a small shopkeeper.

If it wasn't for the fact that the Xu family's business name was Xu Wanzhen's natal family, with this relationship, how could he talk to the young lady of the dignified Duke's mansion?

Zhou Xuan is just a responsible person, and he has always felt that he is really different from Xu Wan.Even if she could marry her personal servant girl, she didn't feel that she was any different.

Giving gifts to each other is the way of getting along among peers.For a relationship like his, at most it is a New Year's Day gift to show respect.

Bring a gift for the young lady?He dared not even think about it.

Seeing his stupid face, Xu Wanzhen couldn't help it anymore, burst out laughing, and said: "Go, I'm just kidding you."

Zhou Xuan was busy giving a salute and retreated.

"Sangzi is getting married soon, if you have any plans, you must tell me." Xu Wanzhen said to Bai Yao.

Bai Yao smiled and said, "The servant girl is still early, so you don't have to worry about it, Young Madam."

"Although the maidservant's time with the young lady is short, I also know that you have the best heart, and treat the maidservants as human beings. The maidservant only has a vague idea at the moment, and wants to serve the young lady all the time."

About getting married, Bai Yao thought very clearly.

She is different from Sangzi. Sangzi has a relationship with the young lady who grew up with her.If she gets married and leaves Xu Wanzhen's side, unless something important happens, it is impossible for her to come back for help.

And the husband and wife are living behind closed doors, what's the big deal?It's nothing more than trivial matters, and the parents are short-sighted.
