Red makeup against the world

Chapter 9 Thunderbolt
Xu Wanzhen went out to see Young Master Sun Jiu, and Sangzi had been worried all night, and she still hadn't calmed down yet, and didn't feel sleepy yet.Hearing this, she got up lightly, put on her coat, walked to Xu Wanzhen's bedside and said, "Miss, I'm here."

Xu Wanzhen let her lie down and talk, and asked, "Do you know the jade bracelet I'm wearing? Why don't I have any impression?"

Sangzi said: "No wonder Miss doesn't remember, Miss was just full moon at that time, I heard about it from Madam later. When the full moon banquet was held, an ascetic monk in coir raincoat and straw sandals came to the door. Madam is kind-hearted and asked someone to give it to me." They provided him with food and water, and took him to rest in the front yard for a night. When he left, he left this jade bracelet, and someone sent a message to his wife, saying that the young lady was doomed, and she had to wear this jade bracelet after she was ten years old. You can avoid disaster. Madam knew that she met an expert, so she hurriedly sent someone to chase him. How could he catch up? I regretted it again and again."

Xu Wan's heart was shocked, so the origin of this jade bracelet is so big?And I did come here because of this jade bracelet, so it can be regarded as a success in avoiding robbery.

Could it be that there were immortals and Buddhas in this dynasty?

In today's materialistic world, people's belief is money. Xu Wanzhen herself is a materialist through and through. Even if she is confused, she never thought of asking for help from religious belief.

Sangzi's words almost destroyed the three views she had formed in the past 25 years, and made her feel the mystery of the Gaoman Dynasty. "The case of father and brother, the emperor's heir, Sun Zhitao, and the jade bracelet", Xu Wanzhen fell asleep amidst wild thoughts.

On the second day at Mao, Sangzi called Xu Wanzhen to get up and wash up. After breakfast with Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Su, they all went to the front hall of the temple.

The water and land ashram for doing things has been set up, and all the monks are chanting scriptures together.Xu Wanzhen's sister and brother offered a long burning lamp for A Niang, lit a standing candle, and burned the sacrificial paper money.

At this time, relatives and friends came to offer incense and worship one after another, and Mrs. Sun San and Sun Zhitao were among them.

The two finished incense and left after talking with Mrs. Xu. Sun Zhitao didn't say a word the whole time, just looked at Xu Wanzhen silently, with love and helplessness hidden in his eyes.Xu Wan sincerely sighed, this is a good man with affection and righteousness, but it is a pity that there is no fate.

Xu Wanzhen didn't take her marriage seriously.I have lived in modern times for 25 years and have never met love, and I have never had any longing for the political marriage arranged by my parents.

And Xu Wanzhen with this body likes Sun Zhitao, right?You can feel her remaining affection, if there is no such accident, the two will be a harmonious and beautiful couple.

Although Xu Wanzhen has no affection for Sun Zhitao, she doesn't hate him, and treats him kindly.

Back at Xu's house, Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Su talked about the Sun family's divorce.

Mrs. Su said: "In terms of family status, we were originally superior to the Sun family. It is not a bad thing to retire the engagement now. The Sun family is huge. If Zhen'er marries, there will be a double mother-in-law and sister-in-law on the head. There are several concubines and concubines in the third house alone, and I was worried that it would be difficult for Zhener's character to deal with such a family."

Mrs. Xu said: "What I'm talking about is that Zhen'er is not yet ready, and there is still time. But after the filial piety period, he will be 16 years old, and he will be too old to find a marriage at that time. But Zhen'er is much more sensible now. "

"Anyway, there are still a few years left, and you can pay attention slowly in the last year of filial piety." After the two old ladies discussed Xu Wanzhen's marriage, Mrs. Su returned to Changzhou that afternoon, leaving Third Master Su to find a shop in Suzhou and prepare to open a medical clinic. .

Xu Wanzhen thought about it for two days, but her father's case still had to be discussed with her grandmother.On this day, Mrs. Xu got up after taking a nap. Xu Wanzhen brought a bowl of honey tea, served her grandmother to drink it, and threw away Yulu and Biluo.

Mrs. Xu smiled and said, "Is there something wrong?"

Xu Wanzhen said: "It is true that I have something to discuss with my grandmother." She recounted the news she got from Sun Zhitao in detail, saying that it was from Sun's family, but only concealed the private meeting with Sun Zhitao at night in the temple.

Even Mrs. Xu, who had experienced the wind and rain, heard that the case was related to the emperor's heir, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, her heart was shocked, and the teacup fell to the ground with a "bang" and shattered into pieces.

Biluo was about to come in when she heard the voice, when Mrs. Xu ordered in a hoarse voice: "It's okay, come in later."

Mrs. Xu knew in her heart that it was a matter of the emperor's heir, whether big or small.If it is a big one, the family will be ransacked and the family will be wiped out, and the whole Xu family will be ruined; if it is a small one, as long as you get through the door, the powerful and powerful will say a few words, and you will be fined.This was completely different from the news that Xu Changrong sent back, and Mrs. Xu couldn't accept it for a while.

Only Xu Wanzhen said: "After the granddaughter knows, she has some ideas, tell her to grandma?" Mrs. Xu nodded.

"According to my granddaughter, this news is true, and the news sent by the second uncle's family is not false. It's just that the Sun family has a deeper connection, so they know the truth of the matter. Father and elder brother must be implicated, and they are definitely not the first criminals."

Mrs. Xu nodded lightly. If she was the first criminal, she would not have been convicted for nearly two months.

Xu Wanzhen continued: "Since it is the emperor's heir, the concubine must be involved. I don't know which concubine's child it is. We are far away in Suzhou and have no way to understand these situations. The granddaughter wants to spend a hundred days with her mother. Immediately after getting rid of the heavy filial piety clothes, go to Beijing. Staying here is equivalent to waiting for death."

Mrs. Xu thought for a moment and said: "Zhen'er has considered very carefully, I am only worried that you will go to the capital, you will be unfamiliar with the place, and there will be all kinds of ups and downs."

Xu Wanzhen said: "Don't worry, grandma, I will take good care of myself. Besides, if I go to the capital, I can still go to my great-grandfather?" She smiled mischievously at Mrs. Xu, "I only heard my grandmother mention it, but Zhen'er has never returned. I haven't seen my great-grandfather."

Xu Wanzhen's smile diluted the dignified atmosphere, and Mrs. Xu also showed a look of yearning: "Yes, since I married to Suzhou, I haven't been back to Beijing once. I haven't seen my father and his old man for a long time."

It was agreed that Xu Wanzhen would go to Beijing in a hundred days, and some preparations had to be made before leaving.

Mrs. Xu said: "Zhen'er, I will ask the foster mother to teach you the etiquette norms in Beijing. During this period of time, you should hurry up and practice, so that you will not be underestimated when you go to Beijing to socialize. Also, go to Beijing to find connections Everything needs money. Before you leave, I will sell most of Jinxiuji's property and give it to you for money."

Xu Wanzhen said: "Grandmother, should I wait until I arrive in the capital to sell the properties one after another? Now that I am in a hurry to sell, I am afraid that the price will not be fair."

Mrs. Xu waved her hand and said boldly: "Since the case involves the emperor's heir, it must not be taken by chance. If you go out of your way, you may not be afraid of too much money. What is property, as long as there are people, you can earn back the property."

Xu Wan really admired her, and said: "Don't worry, grandma, I will definitely be able to save father and elder brother." Mrs. Xu said again: "Before that, separate the third room."
