Chapter 272: Drag
The grandfather and grandson were discussing, Xu Wenmin strode in, greeted Mrs. Xu first, and asked hurriedly: "I heard this news in the city last night, and I thought it was a false rumor, so I didn't go to my heart." Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info didn't expect to actually come to the door to propose? this is ridiculous!"
Turning his head, he saw Xu Wanzhen sitting on the high-backed rose chair on the side, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sister, don't worry, with my brother here, I won't let you suffer the slightest grievance." ”
Seeing that his gentle face was eager, Xu Wan really warmed her head, and said softly: "I'm fine, why is Elder Brother here? Daddy's body is not well yet." ”
A few days ago, Xu Changzong's father and son had moved back to Jiashanfang, and Xu Wanzhen sent a message to Su Liangzhi, asking him to temporarily live in Xu's house to recuperate for his father. Great-grandfather's health was already well, and he didn't need acupuncture at the beginning of May, so Su Liangzhi only needed to ask him for a pulse at intervals and change the prescription.
"Daddy is fine, there is a little uncle to take care of. Hearing this, Daddy was worried about my sister and asked me to hurry up and take a look at the situation. How's that going? I just ran into an iceman on the way here, what did she say?"
Xu Wanzhen told him what Mrs. Gan said and the results of the analysis that Fang Cai discussed with her grandmother.
Xu Wenmin followed his father into business at the age of fifteen, and at that time, the Xu family was the leader of the silk industry in Jiangnan Province, and the business was on track. Even though the business is cumbersome and the competition is fierce, there are no real difficulties. He was young and alert, and when he was in high spirits, his temperament was inevitably a little impulsive and unbearable.
Xu Changzong originally thought that if he sharpened him for a few more years and experienced more things, he would naturally become calm, so he didn't blame him too much.
Until this time, he signed the contract under the trick of Zhen Tianlu, which caused a catastrophe and caused his mother to die of illness. Xu Wenmin learned from the pain, reflected day by day in prison, and chewed everything in his heart repeatedly. The transparency of the world is not comparable to that before imprisonment.
Hearing that his sister's marriage had turned into a dispute between the king of Qi and the crown prince, he frowned. It is a matter of royal wind and waves, and if it is not good, the ship of the Xu family will capsize. In the old year, he was only supplied with a batch of clothes, and he was involved in prison. Wouldn't the dispute between these two princes be even more dangerous?
"Brother, it's because my sister is not good that it affects the family. Finally, you and Daddy were released from prison, and our Xu family can't withstand any storms anymore. ”
Xu Wanzhen stood up with Sang Zi's hand and said resolutely: "Since we can't afford to offend on both sides, let's drag it first in the name of filial piety." Such a situation will not last long, if it is still like this after two years, it is my sister's life is not good. I combed my hair and never married. ”
Xu Wenmin looked at her distressedly: "How can you blame my sister for this matter." Don't worry, let me think of ideas. ”
Bowing his head and muttering for a moment, Xu Wenmin said: "Fan Duwei is okay there, Mrs. Zhu didn't alarm others when she came to the door." But on the side of the prince of Anguo, there is too much movement. What he thinks, I'm going to ask him to find out. ”
After speaking, he was about to walk out, but Xu Wanzhen hurriedly grabbed him: "Brother, don't worry. How can you get into the Guogong Mansion if you go like this?"
Xu Wenmin paused and said, "My sister reminded me." I'll go to my great-grandfather and ask for a name post. ”
Xu Wanzhen nodded, and then let him go.
Old Madam Xu looked at the melancholy on her face and said comfortingly: "You really don't have to worry too much. It was right for Wen Min to go out to find Shi Shizi, and we would wait for the news with peace of mind. Nor did it come in a hurry. ”
Let's let Sang Zi help her go back to rest, and it is only right to take care of her body now.
Xu Wanzhen slowly walked back to the West Wing, but her mind kept turning thoughts. In such a situation, Wu Zhengxiang is not suitable to propose marriage again. At this time, it is not good to mix a foot between the crown prince and the king of Qi. Fortunately, her filial piety period has two and a half years, and she can slowly try to find it.
……
In the palace of the king of Chu, the side concubine Wang Danruo was dressing up in the mirror in the room.
She looked at her flower and moon appearance in the mirror and couldn't help sighing. Although flowers are good, they also need people who love flowers. In this life, maybe this is how he had no children and no daughters, and died of old age in this mansion.
She is not yet twenty years old, and she should be in her prime, delicate and moving, but she seems to have seen the desolation of her evening scene.
What if you enjoy glory and wealth on such a day? What can you do if you have a destiny in your body? Is it just to enjoy the envy of others when you are socializing? But only you know whether your life is good or not.
My sister complained that she had no wrist and didn't know how to fight. But in this back house, there must be capital to fight for. The king of Chu is stingy with even the slightest bit of eyesight for himself, how can he fight? He can only let the princess of Chu rub and pinch the round.
Wang Miaoyan came in from outside the door and walked gently to her side and stood still.
Wang Danruo motioned to the personal maid Qingyan to guard the door, and then said to her: "Sister, what do you want to do?"
Wang Miaoyan leaned down and whispered softly in her ear, saying something urgent and fast: "It's not what I want to do, it's what Princess Chu wants me to do." Sister, don't you know that she wants me to drug Liu Qiran, the prince of Pingguo, and achieve good things with him. And then it was exposed in front of everyone, so as to coerce Liu Qiran to marry me as the princess?"
"What?" Wang Danruo heard of this for the first time. She only knew that Princess Chu was socializing with Wang Miaoyan and had other plans for her marriage. But I never thought that it was such a vicious arrangement.
"Sister, your life is too confused!" Wang Miaoyan said with a contemptuous face: "I came to this Chu Palace, also because of Sister, I didn't expect you to ignore me." Seeing the princess of Chu is like a mouse seeing a cat! You are at the mercy of that woman? If I am like you, where can I stand here and talk to you today. ”
Looking at the flower-like figures of the sisters in the mirror, Wang Miaoyan said: "Sister, you see, in addition to our background, where are our sisters worse than people? If I also listen to that woman, of course, I can marry into the Pingguo Mansion and become the princess." But with such a reputation of seducing Liu Qiran before marriage, how will I live in the future? Isn't everyone in my in-law's family bullying me. Isn't the reputation of our Wang family trampled into the mud!"
Hearing her say this, Wang Danruo shed two lines of tears in a daze.
Every word her sister said poked hard at her heart. It's that she is incompetent, she can't get a foothold in this Chu Palace, and she can't protect her sister, but what can she do?
Seeing a look of guilt on her face, a hint of pride flashed in Wang Miaoyan's eyes, and finally moved her.
After a pause, she continued to say: "Just because I didn't want to do such an ugly thing, that woman grounded me, and Dongxue's whereabouts are unknown." Dongxue is a maid who grew up with me, and she is called a master and servant. Accompanied me into Beijing, but I didn't expect to suffer a flying disaster!"
