Chapter 429: Listen to Grandmother
Rose glanced at her and said, "What are you doing, what is it like?" What do you mean by pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info really came? Mrs. Zhuang handed over the post yesterday, dignified Duchess Anguo, is it still fake? I just don't know, why did you come to the door on purpose?"
Xu Wanzhen hid her excitement and slowly put down the account book in her hand. She couldn't be clearer about the purpose of Mrs. Zhuang's visit. Wu Zhengxiang has long said that as long as she passes Wu Jiao's pass, she will ask Mrs. Zhuang to come to protect the media.
It seems that the design in the annex of the Anguo Mansion was not in vain, Wu Jiao and the Chen family behind her really believed it, and it was not in vain for her to be pretentious.
After changing the clothes of the guest and letting Caisi comb her hair again, Xu Wanzhen slowly walked towards Ronghui Hall. At this moment, Mrs. Zhuang and her grandmother are probably talking about her marriage, and she doesn't need to arrive so quickly.
In Ronghui Hall, Mrs. Xu was surprised and said, "What Mrs. said, is it true?"
Mrs. Zhuang smiled: "It's true. When Mrs. Wu came to the door, I was as surprised as an old lady. This Zhongguo Mansion picked a daughter-in-law, and it actually picked Wanzhen's head. I went to inquire again, and although the prince of the loyal country did not have a good reputation, he was a good one. ”
"For the sake of Wanzhen, Madame has a heart. Mrs. Xu thanked her.
"You're welcome, old lady, Wan is really a good boy, and she is my daughter-in-law. It is reasonable for me to plan a thing or two for her. ”
Mrs. Zhuang elaborated on what she knew: "The population of the Zhongguo Mansion is simple, and the Chen family only has one sister-in-law under his knees, and he is now serving as the commander of the Northern Ya Army. A concubine is Mrs. Wu, who came to ask me to protect the media, and her name is Wu Jiao. If you want to say that the pro is called Wu Zhengxiang, the old year and the crown, now he is nineteen years old, he has not heard any news on weekdays, and he has just been awarded the third rank of General Yunlu. ”
Old Madam Xu pondered for a moment and said, "Although our Xu family has not been back to Beijing for a long time, we have also heard that the Duchess of Zhongguo is quite harsh on this concubine?"
Mrs. Zhuang nodded and said, "Everyone in the capital knows about this matter. Because of this, Zhongguo Gong has no other heirs. Although Chen's name is his mother-in-law, she is not a serious mother-in-law. What is rare is that after I inquired about it this time, Wu Zhengxiang was clean and self-conscious, there was no maid in the room, and he was just a small servant in and out. ”
"Madame thinks this is a proper family matter?" asked Mrs. Xu.
"Yes, in my opinion, it is more suitable than Fan Bin. Mrs. Zhuang said slowly: "Fan Bin is excellent, but after all, he was born as an orphan, and General Long is far away in the western frontier. There is no family support behind him, and he is all on his own. If Wanzhen marries in the past, it will inevitably be hard. ”
Mrs. Xu knew in her heart that the two candidates, Sun Zhitao and Fan Bin, were vetoed by her granddaughter. Mrs. Zhuang came to the door to say that this Wu Zhengxiang can be considered carefully.
"Madame is thoughtful, and the old man thinks about it. The stakes are high and need to be discussed with the family. ”
Mrs. Zhuang smiled: "It should be so." ”
Xu Wanzhen pinched the point and walked into the door, and said with a salute: "Zhen'er said hello to my grandmother, I have seen my stepmother." ”
"Good boy, get up. Mrs. Zhuang pulled her up, looked left and right, and said, "I heard that you are helping your grandmother with the housekeeping?" ”
Xu Wanzhen said modestly: "They are all old people that my grandmother is used to, I am just a hand, nothing is anything." ”
After a few more pleasantries, Mrs. Zhuang got up and said goodbye, "What I just said, the old lady thinks about it seriously, I will wait for the letter." ”
Mrs. Xu smiled: "Okay, the old body is saved." Zhen'er, send your stepmother out. ”
Seeing off Mrs. Zhuang, Xu Wanzhen returned to Ronghui Hall. Old Madam Xu leaned on the big pillow and was closing her eyes in contemplation. She didn't dare to disturb, so she stood quietly aside.
After the tea, Mrs. Xu opened her eyes, saw Xu Wanzhen, and asked, "Mrs. Zhuang is gone?"
"Yes, grandmother. Xu Wanzhen bowed and replied.
"Zhen'er, do you know what she's here to do today?" asked Old Madam Xu with a smile.
There are hundreds of women in the family, and she was originally worried that she would be affected by the Sun family's divorce, so that Xu Wan's family affairs are really hard to say. But in this capital, there have been good relatives coming to the door one after another.
Xu Wanzhen restrained her mood and said, "I really don't know. ”
"Zhongguo Mansion, do you know Zhen'er? Their family has a simple population, and Mrs. Zhuang came to the door today to say goodbye to Wu Zhengxiang, the concubine in their house. This family affair was personally asked by Mrs. Wu to show that the Zhongguo Mansion agreed to this matter, what does Zhen'er think?"
Hearing her grandmother's words, Xu Wanzhen only felt that her heart was pounding, and it was one thing to guess in her heart, and it was another thing to really hear it and turn it into a fact. She hid her ecstasy, bowed her head and said, "At the Peony Flower Festival, my granddaughter saw Wu Zhengxiang from afar. ”
"What do you mean?" asked Mrs. Xu.
"Really listen to my grandmother. With that, a blush appeared on her pink cheeks.
Seeing her attitude, what else did Mrs. Xu not understand? It turned out that the two had already met, no wonder there was this proposal, it seems that you and I are willing.
"That's fine, there's no problem, I'll discuss it with your father and brother. Mrs. Zhuang said that if it can be confirmed, the two families can exchange tokens first. Wait for your filial piety, and then exchange Geng stickers. ”
Xu Wanzhen lowered her head and said softly: "But it's up to grandmother to arrange." ”
Mrs. Xu smiled heartily, she also came from her youth. Seeing a rare shy granddaughter, I remembered that she also had such girlish feelings. This family business looks quite good.
When Xu Wanzhen retreated, she asked Yulu to pass Xu Le'an in. instructed him to inquire carefully about the affairs of the Zhongguo Mansion, no matter how big or small, especially about the various news about the concubine Wu Zhengxiang.
Girlish feelings are one thing, but as Xu Wanzhen's grandmother, she is responsible for her family affairs, which is related to her future life.
……
As the night grew darker, Xu Changrong stepped into the house in the night, and Xu Wenyu, who was guarding the door, rushed forward and said, "Daddy, why is it so late? I left you a snack." ”
Xu Changzong stretched out his hand to pick him up, and said with a smile: "It's raining too much these days, so I have to arrange people to watch them move the warehouses in those low-lying places." ”
It is said that "hugging a grandson is not a child", but Xu Changzong has gone through a catastrophe and cherishes the relationship between parents and children more and more.
Xu Wenyu asked ignorantly: "What does moving the warehouse have to do with rain?"
"Brother Yu, the location of this warehouse is low, will it be flooded if it rains too much?" Xu Changzong said step by step.
"Oh, I see! If the storehouse is flooded, the silk in it will be flooded. Knowing the truth, Xu Wenyu was very happy.
"That's right. Xu Changzong said: "This silk is related to the livelihood of many people. Once it is flooded, not only will the hard work be ruined, but the lives of these people will also be lost. It is not easy for ordinary people to live, if Brother Yu becomes an official in the future, he must remember to be more sympathetic to the people's livelihood. ”
"Hmm!" Xu Wenyu nodded seriously.
