Red makeup against the world

Chapter 766
After taking a hot bath, Xu Wanzhen changed into the dress she had prepared, which must have been brought for her by the dumb woman.

Holding her underwear and other close-fitting clothes, Xu Wanzhen said, "I want to wash it myself." She frowned as she spoke, and said in distaste, "It's too dirty."

What she meant was obviously that the place was too dirty.That's all for the coat, and her underwear won't be taken out for washing.

The mute woman nodded and brought her a basin of hot water.

Xu Wanzhen put the clothes in the basin, and carefully scrubbed the bellyband and inner clothes where the golden beans were hidden.He tentatively asked, "Where are you from? Northern or Southern?"

The dumb woman didn't speak, she still had that blank expression.

Xu Wanzhen was not upset, and said to herself: "I am from the south and my family lives in Suzhou. It is because my father had an accident in Beijing that our family came to the capital. Otherwise, I am still in Suzhou at this time. .”

"Then I never went back. I got married later, and now I'm locked up. I don't know if I will go back one day."

Xu Wanzhen looked at her expression while talking.Seeing that although her expression remained unchanged, she was also listening carefully to what she said.

"I have a servant girl. She is not from Suzhou, but originally from Lingnan Road. She was sold. She is a little younger than me. We are like sisters."

Xu Wanzhen was talking nonsense.Here, due to the constant traffic and poor information, she pays more attention to the relationship with her fellow countrymen than in her previous life.

She just talked casually, as long as she wanted to listen.One day, she will guess her hometown.

……

On the seventh day of November, at dusk.

The motorcade from the Duke of Zhongguo's mansion entered the city in the afterglow of the setting sun, drove mightily to the second gate of the Duke of Zhongguo's mansion, and everyone got out of the carriage.

Lu's expression was a little tired and a little happy.

She has been in fear for several days, but has not heard any bad news.Could it be that the mother-in-law really has no other plans this time, just praying for the practice?

However, it is best that nothing happens.

After seven or eight days of busy work, even her young body couldn't bear it, and she felt listless and weak.

Fortunately, because of the Dharma conference, Wu Sheng asked for leave yesterday and went to Dabei Temple, and today it happened to be his turn to take a rest.I can see my husband for two days in a row, except for the New Year, not after marriage.

Thinking that he was going back home at night, a shy expression appeared on Lu's face, looking forward to the nightfall.

Chen Shi and Wu Lie walked in front, and Lu Shi led Wu Chao to walk behind. The accompanying monks respectfully sent Guanyin Bodhisattva to the Buddhist hall and recited scriptures.

After the ceremony was over, Lu ordered people to give the offering silver to the leading monks and send them away.

Something happened here, but as the housewife, she hasn't returned home for three days, and there are still many things waiting for her.After pleading guilty, she went down and made arrangements not to mention it.

Since today, Mrs. Chen has officially lived in the Buddhist hall.

Wu Lie originally thought that she would be unwilling, but he did not expect Chen's mentality to be extremely peaceful.He even offered to propose that in the future, only Nanny Tian and Nanny Liu would be by her side.

Only in this way can we show our sincerity in serving the Buddha.

Wu Lie naturally didn't do it, no matter what she still bears the name of Mrs. Guo, she is too poor, doesn't it seem that he is too ruthless as a husband.

This little matter, Chen Shiyuan just brought it up and talked about it casually.She really knows Wu Lie too well, the more she is like this, the less he will treat her badly.

After chatting for a while, Wu Lie felt that the current Chen family looked much more pleasing to the eye.

It would be great if she could figure it out earlier!There is no need to live in a Buddhist hall, the family is harmonious and beautiful, and it is fun to have grandchildren.

After chatting about something else, Mrs. Chen inadvertently asked, "Huh? Why didn't you see Brother Xiang's daughter-in-law when you came back this time?"

Wu Lie also had a puzzled expression on his face, he already felt a little unhappy if Xu Wan really didn't go.At this time, the parents-in-law came back, and as a daughter-in-law, she didn't come out to greet her, which was a bit outrageous.

"Hurry up and send someone to ask." Chen Shi said, "Don't be sick, young people just don't know how to cherish their bodies."

She looked anxious, like a loving mother-in-law who worried about her daughter-in-law.

"Okay." Hearing what she said, Wu Lie also felt that Xu Wan would not be absent for no reason, and there must be some reason for it.

In less than a quarter of an hour, the people who were sent to ask the question came back and said, "If you return to the father-in-law and madam, the second young lady will be taken into the palace by the queen mother to accompany you."

"What?" Chen asked in shock.

Wu Lie glanced at her, and she realized that her reaction was inappropriate.

"It's because I was too nervous." She smiled concealedly: "It's such a coincidence that I just entered the palace at this time."

Wu Lie also went out of the city to the Great Compassion Temple yesterday, and just came back together now, he doesn't know the Queen Mother's order.Said: "The Empress Dowager likes her, she must have missed her, it's nothing."

Hearing this news that greatly surprised her, at this moment, Mrs. Chen no longer had the patience to be hypocritical with him, so she said a few perfunctory words, "I'm tired, I want to rest earlier."

After Wu Lie left, she just let Chun Shan wait for her to wash and wash.If it wasn't for Aunt Arita watching from the side, she would have already lost her temper.

Even if it is built in the Duke Zhong's mansion and served by servants, the Buddhist hall is a Buddhist hall after all.

All tools are incomparable to those in Chen's main courtyard.

Copper basins were replaced by wooden basins, mahogany furniture was replaced by cypress wood, and soft silk tents were replaced by awn tents.Bright clothes, expensive jewelry, etc. have all been put away.

Not to mention the furnishings in the house, just a table, a chair and a bed.The only decoration is a high table placed in the corner, and a few evening chrysanthemums are inserted in the big round-bellied vase on it.

Although it is definitely much better than practicing in Dabei Temple, the arrangement in the main courtyard can be described as cloud and mud.On this kind of day, the Chen family is a hundred times stronger in her boudoir than here.

Looking around, the more she looked, the more frustrated she became.

After paying such a high price, she still had a false relationship with Xu Wan.Didn't the picture mean that she didn't end well?

But what does this news mean today?She was taken into the palace by the Queen Mother?

Whether this incident is true or not, whether something happened to Xu Wanzhen or not.All kinds of speculations were churning endlessly in her heart, making it difficult for her to sleep.

In Chen's mind, she kept thinking about what the man had said to her.

"Ma'am, please don't worry. Lei Ba has long coveted the second young lady's beauty, and he will not let her go easily."

Chen didn't know what the other party would do to take Xu Wanzhen away, and she didn't care.She just wanted to know if Xu Wanzhen, a scheming woman, ended up miserable in the end.

"And then?" Lei Ba alone is not enough, Chen wants to see Xu Wan's life would be better than death.

The man said: "Her identity is not visible. After the master's goal is achieved and Lei Ba is tired of playing, she will only have a dead end."

Although Chen was not satisfied with this answer, he reluctantly accepted it.
