Hearing this, Tu Manzhen picked up the embroidery bandage on the dressing table and stammered: "Yes, I'm embroidering." Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Tu Manfen glanced at it lightly and said, "You took it the other way around." ”

"Oh, oh?" Glancing at the bandage in his hand, Tu Manzhen hurriedly wanted to turn around, but accidentally fell to the ground. She was stunned and stood on the spot.

Tu Manfen smiled helplessly, waved his hand to let the silver screen out, and said, "What the hell are you doing, can you talk about it now?"

I saw that Tu Manzhen's face was like a fire, and it quickly turned red, and Ai Ai said: "Sister, it's really nothing, it's just some gadgets." ”

Tu Manfen walked over slowly, she became more nervous, and used her body to block in front of the dressing table.

"Since it's nothing, let me show it generously. Tu Manfen frowned.

Then he reached out and walked over Tu Manfen and opened a box in front of the dressing table. The box was originally covered by Tu Manzhen in a hurry, and it was not tight. This opened, and a huge Dongzhu rolled out.

Tu Manzhen was taken aback and hurriedly caught it with her hand.

If you look closely, the box is full of various objects, including hairpins, jade pendants, coral beads, and eastern pearls, as well as glass dolls, jade bells, and moros, which are not valuable but interesting.

With his hand gently fiddling in the box, Tu Manfen's expression gradually became serious, and he asked, "Where did you get these?"

Both of them are boudoir women and rarely go out. The Lin housekeepers are careful in their calculations, and their monthly silver is not much left except for daily expenses.

Even if you go out to play, you don't have the money to buy these impractical things. What's more, there are one or two pieces of jade and Nadong pearls in it, which are worth a lot of money, and they are not something she can afford.

"Tell the truth!" Tu Manfen raised his eyebrows, and there was a hint of sternness in his voice.

What she worries and fears is that her sister is ignorant of the world and has been coaxed away by some rogue man. How important a woman's reputation is! It is related to Tu Manzhen's life, and even the name of the entire Tu family's women.

Tu Manzhen also knew that she had done something wrong, and bowed her head and said, "These were all handed over to me by Liu Qiran." ”

Liu Qiran saved her life on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, and she personally agreed to his proposal. Since then, Liu Qiran has asked Gao Yi to bring her some small objects from time to time to relieve her boredom.

She thought that since they had all agreed to ask for a kiss, it was nothing to receive something, so she did not refuse. What's more, these objects he sent were exquisite and interesting, and she couldn't put them down.

Hearing that it was Liu Qiran, Tu Manfen breathed a sigh of relief. She also guessed a few points of the family's plans. It's just that it's not appropriate to give and receive in private like this after all.

Tu Manfen hated iron and said: "You, what do you want me to say about you? He is a foreign man, since he was a child, you have forgotten his mother's teachings? The most important thing for a woman is self-love, and the most taboo is frivolous. ”

Tu Manzhen distinguished: "It's just some objects, and I haven't seen him." ”

"Do you need to meet? Since you accepted it, he knows your attitude. How do you know what he will think of you?" Tu Manfen said solemnly: "As a woman, you must be cautious in your words and deeds. ”

"Eldest sister, I know it's wrong. Please, don't tell Mother. ”

After pondering for a moment, Tu Manfen said: "I don't have to tell my mother, forget about it for now, but I can't accept it again in the future." Sister, do you like him?"

Hearing this question, Tu Manzhen was in a trance.

She had never thought about men and women, and it was the age when she was curious about everything. For excellent men, it is more about appreciating than liking.

But Liu Qiran's appearance, like a wild bull, rushed into her life unreasonably, appeared in front of her again and again, and carved a deep imprint in her heart.

Thinking of his fiery eyes looking at him, and agreeing to his four harsh requirements without hesitation, Tu Manzhen's heart bumped into each other like a deer, and she was ashamed. The tone was a little confused, and he said, "I don't know, I like it, right?"

Looking at her sister's incomprehensible appearance, Tu Manfen was a little distressed.

Why is the Liangzi formed by the Tu family and the Liu family carried by her sister who has not yet reached the end of her life? She is still so naïve, she has been pampered since she was a child, and she doesn't even know what "love" is, so she is about to get married?

In the Pingguo Mansion, interpersonal relationships are extremely complicated, how does she know that people's hearts are sinister?

Pulling Tu Manzhen's hand, looking at her ignorant and clear eyes, Tu Manfen pulled a strand of broken hair on her forehead behind her ear and said, "Sister, don't worry." The eldest sister will protect you. ”

She secretly made up her mind in her heart that after getting married, she would definitely find an opportunity to ask Liu Qiran for clarification. If she doesn't find out what he wants, she will fight against her filial piety, and she will definitely oppose this family business to the end.

But now it's impossible, they are all boudoir girls, how can they easily see foreign men?

……

There were two more rainstorms, and the heat in the air was swept away.

Looking at the rain flowing along the eaves, Mrs. Xu frowned and said, "This year's rain is more. ”

Now that the summer solstice has passed, the rice in the field is half a person high. There is too much rain, so I am afraid that it will not be discharged in time, which will affect the autumn harvest. But even more worrying is the flooding brought by the rain.

Xu Wanzhen sat on the spring bench below, and when she came to the Gaomang Dynasty, it was early autumn, and this was her first summer.

Since the beginning of summer, there have been heavy rains and light rains, and there have been several heavy rainstorms. She thought that the weather was like this, but when she heard her grandmother say this, she realized that it was an abnormal climate.

Mama Zheng stood behind her and said, "What the old lady said is that this kind of rain has only been seen twice in so many years. Each time, flooding is triggered. ”

The capital is built on Luoshui, and the Tongji Canal is firmly built and extends in all directions. Even if there is a flood upstream, it can discharge the flood well and will not be affected. However, some prefectures and counties further south of the capital have narrow rivers and low embankments, and whenever there is a flood, they bear the brunt.

"It's June, so don't worry as long as it doesn't rain anymore. Mrs. Xu said worriedly: "If you are afraid, you are afraid, the sky does not follow people's wishes." Really, you need to prepare more grain and rice. ”

Xu Wanzhen nodded, every time there is a disaster, prices will skyrocket, and the first thing to bear the brunt of this is food. This is the law of the market, from ancient times to the present. Even if this is at the feet of the Son of Heaven, it will be overwhelmed by the panic of the people.

Out of the "Ronghui Hall", Xu Wanzhen returned to the back cover room, called Wan, who was in charge of purchasing, and gave her a detailed order, before taking the pair of cards to her.

"Buying in several houses must be enough for two months of chewing. In addition, if there is a disaster for another month, my grandmother should set up a porridge shop to help me. ”

Wan Shi respectfully agreed, and said: "The slave is about to report to the young lady, and the price of rice has risen slightly in the past two days. ”

Xu Wanzhen nodded, there are many old people in Beijing, and they have all experienced waterlogging. When you see such a day, as long as you have some spare money at home, you will buy some to prevent trouble.
