Chapter 623: A Word Awakens the Dreamer (The Ninth Month)
Lu Shi smiled: "I understand your wife's kindness. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ info between the women, it should be better to move more. β
After receiving the silk flowers, Lu instructed Xuezhu to let the kitchen send a basket of newly acquired crabs to Zhiyuanju as a return gift. "This basket of crabs was specially transported from Taihu Lake by water, and it is a rare cream crab, give your wife a taste. β
Ce thanked her and said goodbye.
Being disturbed by her like this, Lu Shi didn't have the heart to look at the accounts at the moment, and sat under the window a little distracted. She thought about Xu Wanzhen, and only had a few contacts with her, but each time she showed a different side.
Suddenly naΓ―ve and coquettish, suddenly snobbish and hypocritical, suddenly noble and elegant, and suddenly not understanding the world. Which side is the real her? This silk flower, is it her own decision to give it away, or is it her idea to raise her grandmother?
After thinking about it for a long time, she still couldn't make up her mind, and asked Xue Zhu: "Look, who is this Xu Wanzhen?"
Glancing at her face, Xue Zhu said, "The maid feels that the second young lady is very powerful." β
"Oh, why do you feel that way?"
"Look, princess, she was obviously in a coma when she married in, but Zhiyuan Juli was not chaotic at all, and there must be a powerful figure presiding. can subdue such a person, how can she not be powerful. Later, when she woke up, Madame tried to stuff Miss Fan into Zhiyuanju, but she was unsuccessful. In the past two days, the lady was even punished by the Queen Mother. Isn't that great?"
A word wakes up the dreamer.
Xue Zhu's words, like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, split the fog in Lu's brain.
yes, no matter how those things happened. Just looking at the results, everything is really beneficial to Xu Wanzhen. Even if it is all Mama Zheng's loyal management, how can she be a mediocre person if she can control such a powerful and capable Mama? She is really stupid, she was confused by the Xu Wanzhen at the summer banquet, and she has never taken her to heart.
Thinking of this, Lu Shi's face was shocked. In this way, Xu Wanzhen has always been disguising herself in front of herself? So, what she and Wu Jiao heard during the summer banquet was deliberate on her part, or was it her true face that she hid?
If it is deliberate, this Xu Wan's real scheming is too deep.
A gust of autumn wind blew in through the window, making Lu shiver, and goosebumps appeared on his arms. Knowing this, he shouldn't have hired this Xu Wanzhen to enter the door in the first place. How much is true and how false is that she can't have children?
Lu Shi stopped thinking, forget it! The matter has come to this point, it is better to believe it than not, and he will stay away from her in the future. Even her mother-in-law can't fight her, so it's better not to take it lightly.
Horizontally and vertically, the son-in-law of this Zhongguo Mansion is Wu Sheng instead of Wu Zhengxiang, and the one who inherits the title in the future will also be his own son-in-law. Since Zhi Yuanju has an attitude of living behind closed doors, he will not provoke her and maintain politeness on his face.
Thinking of this, she asked Xue Zhu to find the furniture booklet that Xu Wanzhen had sent before, and instructed: "Send this booklet to Liu Jimuxing, and they will start doing it immediately." β
Originally, she wanted to suppress this matter for a few more days. Now that she thinks about it, she doesn't need to, since she has to do it sooner or later, and she uses the money in the public school, she can't be guilty of being this ugly person to offend Xu Wanzhen.
Xue Zhu was a little surprised, because of this matter before, the princess was still a little unhappy, and complained that the furniture reported was too detailed. Why did this suddenly change its mind?
"Princess Shizi, do you do it all?" This is a large expense, and Xue Zhu will confirm it again.
"Well," Lu nodded, "according to what she reported, do it all." The main ones are made of huanghuali, and the rest are made of good cypress and camphor wood. Tell Liu Ji's shopkeeper that this is the furniture made for the courtyard of the commander of the Xiao Cavalry Guard, if it is not done well, take care of his head!"
After Wu Zhengxiang handled a few major cases, his reputation at this time was more famous than Wu Sheng in the capital, and it was easy to use it to scare these businessmen.
The snow and bamboo clubs are all written down, and they don't mention it when they go to arrange.
β¦β¦
In the Pingguo Mansion, a good show is being staged.
In order to compete for the order of enjoying the scenery, several aunts of Liu Jingshan, the prince of Pingguo, were pinching each other in the garden.
From a distance, I saw a few beautifully dressed women, with their own maids, and about seven or eight people making a mess at the pavilion. I only heard the screams, crying, and shouting of the woman one after another, and occasionally the crisp sound of the collision of the ring, which was a farce.
Tu Manzhen took the swift and sat on the verandah, watching the excitement with relish.
Such a good show can not be easily seen in the Tu family. In other homes, it is not allowed to be seen.
After getting married for more than a year, Tu Manzhen followed Liu Qiran to open up a lot of eyes, and participated in many banquets in Beijing as a princess. It's no longer the girl who raised a deep boudoir in the past.
"Princess, let's go first, right?" Swift was a little apprehensive, what if the two of them were discovered by those women and made a fuss.
Tu Manzhen is not stunned, with Liu Qiran, a favorite wife, he has never said a word about what she does. Who is she afraid of in her own home?
"No, let me see it again. β
An aunt in a blue phoenix tail skirt was quietly stepped on by another aunt's maid, she was scolding at the waist and taking a step forward, but she almost fell into the mud. At this time, the war escalated even more, and Tu Manzhen was happy.
Yuyan glanced at her own young lady worriedly, Miss, Miss, even if you are watching a play, don't make such a big show, okay?
Seeing the swift's eyes, Tu Manzhen grinned nonchalantly and said, "You can rest assured! This garden is so big, isn't it normal to encounter it?
The area of the four major mansions is actually about the same. Compared to other magnates in Beijing, it is much more spacious. A national mansion can at least be worthy of two princes' mansions. This is the grace given by the first emperor, and only the four great princes who have been following him in his achievements have it.
But no matter how spacious it is, it can't withstand Liu Jingshan carrying his aunt into the house one after another.
His standard for accepting his aunt is very simple, that is, she must be beautiful enough. As for knowledge, origin, etc., it doesn't matter. In the backyard of Ping Guogong, it can be said that the swallows are thin and fat, and the warblers and swallows are all together.
Since there is an aunt, there must be a place to have a yard, and then there will be a concubine and a concubine. Fortunately, the concubines are still young, and they are not yet married. The population is getting bigger and bigger, and no matter how spacious the place is, it can't withstand the toss, and there is even a farce of three aunts crammed into one courtyard.
But even so, after repeated divisions, there was not much left of the courtyard of the Pingguo Mansion. The area of this back garden is pitifully small, and it only takes two quarters of an hour to walk around, which is really no scenery to enjoy.
Tu Manzhen really doesn't understand, what is there to fight for in this garden?
