As the sun had set, the room was dark. Yufu stood at the door, hesitated, but crept into the room and lit the candle.

"Girl, dinner will be ready soon."

"Okay."

Since Taoyuan came back, Yufu saw that Xia Wanhua was in a bad mood. She carefully helped Xia Wanhua up, and she was glad that Xia Wanhua didn't blame her for entering the inner room without permission.

She was trained at a very young age and then sent to serve Xia Wanhua, but after several years, she still can't see through this master. It's really moody and unpredictable.

"Have all the guests who celebrated Madame's birthday gone?" Before eating, Xia Wanhua suddenly asked.

"Back to the girl, most of the guests have already returned. Now only Rong Zhao, the fourth son of the Rong family in Pingcheng Rongwangfu, Mrs. Zhuang and Miss Zhuang of Hechu Zhuang, stayed in the mansion for the night. The fourth prince Rong wanted to enter Beijing with our third son, so he stayed in the house. As for the Zhuang family, I heard that Miss Zhuang was going to discuss marriage with the third son. ”

Yufu also has a certain ability to stay by Xia Wanhua's side. Not to mention martial arts, although she is young, she has a cheerful temperament, and she is very good at making friends, so she can find out a lot of gossip. Xia Wanhua is very optimistic about her.

Hearing that Xu Li was going to discuss marriage with Hechu Zhuang's family, Xia Wanhua hesitated for a while.

She has lived in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion for many years, and she has long seen that this Weiyuan Marquis Xu Qingfang is not an honest person. Hechu Zhuang, that is the heirloom of everyone, admired by students in the world. If you marry such a family, then the Xu family is equivalent to opening the door to contact the heirloom family, and also contact the circle of literati, which may attract more literati.

This is good for the Xu family. But for her Xia Wanhua, it's terrible!

"Who is the dealer girl?"

Yufu blinked, slightly mysterious. "Girl, do you remember the good woman we met near Sai Gong a few days ago?"

"Is that her?" Xia Wanhua's face finally changed slightly, but her brows twisted, and she immediately stretched out again.

Yufu nodded.

"To what extent have you gotten married?" Xia Wanhua lowered her head, making it difficult to see her face clearly. She knew that many families were fighting the idea of Wei Yuanhou's daughter-in-law.

Once she becomes the daughter-in-law of the Marquis of Weiyuan, looking at Da Zhou, there are a few women who can be higher than this status! And as a family of in-laws, the status will naturally be mentioned accordingly. This kind of good thing, all the big families will definitely sharpen their heads and squeeze in.

The Xu family has five sons, and the eldest son, Xu Ren, has entered the Medicine King Valley, and it can be said that he is half away from the world, and most of them will not inherit the throne. So many people have set their eyes on Xu Li, the third son who is also a descendant. But is Xu Li really easy to handle? If she had done it, she would have done it a long time ago. Hum!

Yufu faintly felt disdain from Xia Wanhua's voice. "So far, Madame has never shown her mouth, but a servant woman of the Zhuang family and a servant woman of the Hou Mansion revealed a sentence in a small talk, which was listened to by others."

Servant women gossiping? The number of segments is too low!

Xia Wanhua raised her face and stared at Yufu's immature little face, and her cold eyes stared at Yufu a little weak.

"Girl?" Yufu was afraid that she had done something wrong again, which would make her master unhappy, so she cautiously opened her mouth. She didn't want to be dismissed to her master! Her master will peel off her skin!

Hearing the trills in Yufu's voice, Xia Wanhua laughed out loud for the first time, and then lifted the chopsticks to prepare for dinner. But while picking up the rice bowl, Xia Wanhua opened her mouth again: "No one is perfect." It's too perfect, it's fake. ”

"What does the girl mean, is Miss Zhuang pretending to be kind?" Yufu was obviously frightened by Xia Wanhua's assertion. She had seen with her own eyes that the girl from the house had done good.

Xia Wanhua asked Yufu again: "Which one of the banker's girls is the banker?" What is your name? ”

At the mention of the name, Yufu's delicate little face immediately distorted slightly. "Zhuang Wanhua, gentle Wan. It's not a branch of the grandson, but in the past two years, the limelight has overshadowed the children of the branch. ”

"Homophony! It's also fate. Dine. Xia Wanhua said that she started to eat and didn't say anything more.

After breakfast the next day, Xia Wanhua dressed up carefully and went to the Zhixiang Hall where Mrs. Wang, Mrs. Weiyuan, lived, to greet Mrs. Wang. She began to live in the Weiyuan Marquis Mansion at the age of nine, and this year is the sixth year. But in the past six years, she has appeared in front of outsiders very rarely. At first, her health was extremely poor, she couldn't move, and she kept recuperating.

Later, when her health improved, she was reluctant to show her face. is too attention-grabbing, for fear of affecting her revenge plan, and she hates Xu Qingfang, so she still rarely appears in front of outsiders. But fortunately, with Wei Yuanhou's eldest son and her senior brother Xu Ren as his backing, she can stay in the Xu family with peace of mind.

Entering Zhixiangtang, Xia Wanhua saw a room of people.

In addition to Xu Ren and Xu Li, the five brothers of the Xu family are not there, the second son Xu Xiao, the fourth son Xu Yi, the fifth son Xu Xin, and the second son's daughter-in-law Zhan are all there. There was a man and a woman left, and that man was the drunken and sleepy man he met in Taoyuan yesterday. Xia Wanhua estimated that he should be Rong Zhao, the fourth son of the Rong family in Pingcheng.

As for the woman, it was Zhuang Wanhua, the first talented woman of Hechu, who was praised as a good woman.

Zhuang Wanhua? Xia Wanhua had a few questions in her heart. However, looking at that Zhuang Wanhua's temperament, the smile on the corner of her mouth was shallow, although she was whispering to that Rong Zhao, she was not looking at Rong Zhao. Rong Zhao's merry appearance didn't seem to attract her.

An interesting man meets an interesting woman.

The people in the room all saw Xia Wanhua come in. Zhan was the first to get up and greet him.

"Why did my sister come here so early? It's still cold in the morning, be careful with your body. ”

Zhan has a blessed face, he is not particularly tall, but he can see at a glance that his body proportion is particularly good, especially his skin is particularly fair. In the past, Xia Wanhua always joked with her, saying that her face was painted white, which was too dazzling and made people jealous. Zhan didn't mind her saying that, and always laughed. Such a person who loves to laugh is always comfortable and comfortable to get along with.

Among the daughters of the same generation of the Xu family, Xia Wanhua likes the Zhan family, and there is Xu Li'an, the third girl in the Xu family's big house.

Zhan Shi took Xia Wanhua's arm and sat beside her.

The corners of Xia Wanhua's mouth twitched slightly, and she glanced at the people in the room, which was regarded as a greeting. The moment she looked at Rong Zhao, Xia Wanhua was inexplicably weak-hearted, afraid that Rong Zhao would recognize her. Rong Zhao didn't react, squinting his fox eyes and nodding to Xia Wanhua.

The elegant and free appearance really made Xia Wanhua admire in her heart, "What a handsome man with a good demeanor, he can really be romantic or light."

It's just those fox eyes, so cunning!

Xia Wanhua felt that it was better to provoke less.
