picked up the pen and wrote a letter, Xu Wanzhen put down the pen and said, "Take the letter to Xu Le'an and ask him to arrange to send it to Suzhou." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Although the distance between Beijing and Suzhou is far away, it is connected by the Tongji Canal and belongs to the same river network. There is too much rain here, and it is necessary to prepare the old house in Suzhou.

In Suzhou, the Xu family's silk industry has been sold to the He family, but the Zhuangzi and Tiandi industries are still there. Xu Wanzhen's wife Zhuangzi is also in the suburbs of Suzhou. Prevention is always good.

After explaining, Qingluo came in happily and said, "Miss, Sister Mulan's carriage is almost at the second gate." ”

"Good. Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly and said, "Sangzi, you and Qingluo go to greet you." ”

Wen Mulan was seriously injured in order to save herself, and she has been recuperating from her injuries on the "Hefeng" Zhuangzi in the eastern suburbs. Now that I'm back, I don't know if the injury has healed?

Not long after, Wen Mulan appeared in front of Xu Wanzhen's eyes. It seems that except for the paler face, the whole person is still as tall as a sword and in good spirits.

"Mulan greets Miss. ”

Xu Wanzhen smiled at the corner of her mouth and asked, "Can you be cured?" ”

"Miss, rest assured, when I was in Zhuangzi, Master Qian provided a lot of precious medicinal materials, and Mulan could get better so quickly. ”

Xu Wanzhen nodded and said, "You just came back, go and rest first." ”

Wen Mulan shook her head lightly, and her tone was firm: "Mulan has been recuperating for a long time, so she doesn't have to rest." ”

Seeing that she insisted, Xu Wanzhen was no longer reluctant, nodded and said, "Go and put down the burden first, and come over here." ”

……

Anguo Mansion, back house.

Banmei opened the curtain and came in, and said on her knees: "Madam, Mrs. Wu is about to arrive, and the maid asked Shumei to wait at the second door." ”

Mrs. Zhuang sat on the Arhat bed covered with ice silk mats, and a little maid behind her fanned her.

In the ice basin in the corner, white smoke billowed out. The rain outside had just stopped, and the temperature in the house seemed a little low, but Mrs. Zhuang was extremely comfortable.

"I see. Mrs. Zhuang responded lightly, turned her head to talk to Zhou's mother, and said: "Over the years, we have had a face-to-face friendship with the Zhongguo Mansion, and the Monk Mansion has never had any contact. What is she doing here?"

Mother Zhou is her bride-in-law, and she is also her confidant and steward, and she knows Mrs. Zhuang's heart knot.

Over the years, the momentum of the Zhongguo Mansion has risen, but the Anguo Mansion has been tepid, holding its tail and being a man. Wu Jiao has a straightforward temperament and speaks loudly, which has made Mrs. Zhuang unhappy several times, and Mrs. Zhuang has stayed away from her.

Zhou's mother was relieved: "The maid can't guess what is going on, and she is asking for Mrs. ”

Shumei lifted the curtain, and a cool breath overflowed from the room.

Wu Jiao entered the door, only to feel that her skin was irritated by the cold air and her hairs stood on end. It had just rained, and Mrs. Zhuang was still using ice? She muttered in her heart, smiled on her face, and said straight to the point: "I haven't seen Mrs. for a few days, but this time, Wu Jiao has something to ask for." ”

Mrs. Zhuang is also straightforward, but when she saw that she said so justifiably, she was a little unhappy in her heart, and said: "Mrs. Wu is polite, there is something to say, but it doesn't hurt." ”

"Madame, you know, my second brother has been crowned in the old year, but he has never said anything about his family. The mother was worried day and night, but she was struggling to find a suitable woman. Wu Jiao said.

Mrs. Zhuang secretly laughed in her heart, the Duchess of Zhongguo, Chen's jealousy, who in this capital does not know?

It's just that everyone can say the scene, and she naturally won't expose it. Let Shumei serve tea, Mrs. Zhuang said with a smile: "What I said is that this man should get married, and the woman should get married." It's not easy for your mother to run the Guogong Mansion, and even if you are married, you have to help you more. ”

Wu Jiao smiled: "It's still Madame who understands me." Am I going to ask for it?"

Mrs. Zhuang took a sip of tea, put down the cup and said, "Oh?

Between families, it is common to help people protect the media. It's just that what she didn't expect was that Wu Jiao was asking for the inconspicuous concubine in the Zhongguo Mansion.

One thing flashed in my mind, yes, not long ago, I heard that the concubine was awarded the title of General Sanpin Yunlu. Maybe Chen felt that he couldn't suppress him anymore, so it was better to find a daughter-in-law who could handle it.

is also the head of the house, Chen's thoughts, she naturally understands. In that case, she didn't mind reaching out to help.

Wu Jiao smiled: "Naturally, my wife knows it, not only does she know it, but she is also very close." ”

"Oh, what do you mean by that?"

"Mother wants to marry Mrs. Zhuang's newly accepted daughter, Miss Xu, for the second brother. ”

"Wanzhen?" Mrs. Zhuang groaned slightly, rubbing her hand lightly on the cup. This candidate was greatly beyond her expectations. She originally thought that the Chen family was interested in the inconspicuous concubine in the clan, and her mother's family had no power or power, so she could hold it in the palm of her hand.

However, from the perspective of identity, Xu Wan can really marry into the Zhongguo Mansion, even if she marries a concubine, she can be regarded as a high marriage. It's just that I rarely hear about him in Beijing, and I don't know what his character looks like. Since you want to protect the media, and you are for your own righteous daughter, it is better to find out.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhuang said: "As far as I know, Wanzhen is still serving her mother's filial piety. How can I talk about marriage?"

This is the Xu family's excuse for refusing the prince's protection of the media, at this time, she might as well use it again, delay the time, and then she can inquire about the character of the concubine of the Zhongguo Mansion.

"Madame is very worried. It's just that this family affair can't be done in a while. If the Xu family is willing, they can exchange the tokens first, and then change the Geng sticker when the Xu family is filial piety. ”

What Wu Jiao said is the usual way for the magnates in Beijing to discuss relatives, and it is just right to compromise at this time. She couldn't wait to settle Xu Wanzhen.

So anxious? Mrs. Zhuang was suspicious in her heart, isn't there something wrong with that concubine?

immediately smiled and said: "Since you asked me to protect the media, I have to be cautious." Let me consider it for a few days before I reply to you. ”

This is the first time she came to the door, Wu Jiaoyuan didn't expect her to respond in one bite, smiled heartily, and said, "Then I'll wait for Madame's letter." ”

After Wu Jiao said goodbye, Mrs. Zhuang instructed: "Mother Zhou, you send someone to investigate, what is wrong with the concubine of the Zhongguo Mansion?"

Mother Zhou smiled: "Madame loves the second lady, and the old slave can save it." ”

……

Chungkook Mansion.

Chen put away the letter and said, "Jiao'er has gone to ask Mrs. Zhuang to protect the media." Although she has to think about one or two, it shouldn't be a big problem. I asked you to send someone to pick up Fan Qianqian, what's wrong?"

Mother He said: "According to the footsteps, the cousin should have arrived." ”

It is said that "one table is three thousand miles", this Fan Qianqian's cousin, the kinship with the Zhongguo Mansion, needs to be bent and twisted to barely catch up. If it hadn't been for a trip two years ago, Chen would probably not have known about her existence.
