Chapter 297: Visitation

Mrs. Wu waved her hand and drove the maids and daughters-in-law down, pulled her daughter and said, "But Mrs. Zhao can't bear the loneliness of the empty boudoir, or is she looking for some adulterer?" ”

"Mother, why are you following along?" Wu Xiangyun covered his ears angrily, his face was slightly red, "My daughter doesn't want her ears to be polluted by this." ”

Mrs. Wu sighed, tore off her daughter's hand, and said softly, "Daughter, you will marry into the Zhao family in a few months, no matter how much you can't see the Zhao family acting in your heart, you can't talk like this, let people grab the handle, and tell the Zhao family that you will not have a good time in the future." ”

Wu Xiangyun snorted coldly, "My Wu family is a scholarly family, and I am the eldest daughter, and I am married to a merchant family, and I am already married." It was Brother Fengnian who was married to me at the beginning, and now you have passed me on to the useless Zhao De, you and your father only care about the family, take care of your younger brother, and never think about me, you, how do you want your daughter to swallow this grievance? ”

Mrs. Wu was also a little annoyed when she heard her daughter being so stubborn, pointed to the handkerchief in her hand and the clothes, shoes and socks on her body, and said, "How can I wronged you, although my father and mother wanted you to marry into the Zhao family for the sake of the family, but you are our daughter, how can we not think about it for you?"

You have liked fine clothes and jade food since you were a child, go to other mansions to have tea with your little sisters, but whenever you see that your household is better than you, you have to break the cup and tear the bed curtain when you come back, if you don't promise you to the Zhao family, can you have a rich life today? The embroidered handkerchief has to be made of cloud brocade, and the embroidery thread is mixed with gold wire, not to mention the jewelry in your makeup box, gems and jade, which is not priceless? This was all sent by the Zhao family.

The eldest prince disappeared that day, and his life was not guaranteed, and your father and I also asked you, if you only shed tears and didn't speak, we will be reluctant to let the Zhao family be rich and noble, how do you know that you still have such a complaint now?

If you insist that you don't like the Zhao family, then it's okay, I and your father will fight to be removed from the family, fight for your brother's future, and go to the Zhao family for you to withdraw from your family, you will pick up all the jewelry and money, along with clothes and materials, and return them to the Zhao family, so you don't have to marry that Zhao De..."

Mrs. Wu was also very angry, she didn't think about saving face for her daughter, and she made things clear from beginning to end, Wu Xiangyun had to argue for a while that she didn't like those luxury things before agreeing to marry Brother Fengnian, she loved his talent, and then remembered how proud she was when she showed those gorgeous clothes in front of her girlfriends, and gradually her face turned purple and her eyes turned red.

Mrs. Wu drank a cup of tea, felt that her daughter had been woken up, and looked at her crying appearance, very distressed, so she said, "Don't cry, my mother said this, it's all for your good, women are the most taboo and extravagant, the east family eats, the west family rests, if you don't eliminate this idea, there will be times when you regret it." Listen to your mother's words, embroider the wedding dress with peace of mind, after three months, your grandmother's filial piety will pass, and you will have no excuse to delay the marriage, so you have to marry into the Zhao family. Your uncle also happens to need the help of the Zhao family, and your brother's future will depend on you. ”

"Mother, my daughter is wronged..."Wu Xiangyun cried and fell into her mother's arms, "That Zhao De is much worse than Brother Fengnian..."

Mrs. Wu sighed and gently stroked the top of her daughter's head, "Mother knows that he is not worthy of you, but if you want to live a rich life for your daughter, you must have some sacrifices." Originally, my mother was still worried about a shrewd person like Mrs. Zhao, you will have to suffer some grievances when you marry, but this time she got into such rumors, it is inevitable that she will weaken her momentum, plus our family supports you, and when you marry, maybe you will be in charge of the family in a few months. ”

Wu Xiangyun was instructed by his mother's guidance, turned his smile in the end, and asked, "Mother, does that daughter want to go to Zhao's house to visit her with a child's gift?" ”

Mrs. Zhao was full of smiles, looking like a teachable child, and said, "Naturally, I want to go, and I want the Zhao family and even the people in Mantong City to see how polite and filial my daughter of the Wu family is." ”

Wu Xiangyun's eyes rolled, and he understood his mother's intentions, so he stood up and said, "It just so happens that I still lack a box of pearls to make a necklace, and Mrs. Zhao has a lot of them. ”

Mrs. Wu took a handkerchief to cover her mouth and chuckled, "You girl is really naughty, go ahead, remember to bring more people to serve you, and come back early." ”

"Yes, mother." Wu Xiangyun responded, so he went out and took the little girl back to the room, thought about it, and instructed his subordinates to prepare a light and soft thin quilt and two boxes of snacks, and turned over a set of simple clothes in the box and changed, and only two plum hairpins were inserted on his head.

Passers-by saw the Wu family sign hanging on the carriage door, and there were many maids and wives on both sides, all the clothes and materials were very extraordinary, and they lowered their eyebrows and understood the rules very well, so they guessed that Miss Wu went out, and then pondered the direction they were walking, and instantly understood where they were going, so the whole city in less than half an hour and spread that Miss Wu's two marriages were wronged, and now under such rumors, visiting the future mother-in-law is really filial piety and reasonable, and the Zhao family can marry such a daughter-in-law, it is really the blessing of the ancestors.

Zhao De has accidentally met two fellow Chinese people in the flower building these days, the more he talks, the more speculative, eat, drink and have fun together, he is really happy, he stayed in the flower building last night, and woke up today, only to reluctantly remember that there is a mother soaked in a wooden barrel at home, so he simply picked it up, said goodbye to the very enchanting goblin and returned to his home.

As a result, as soon as he arrived at the gate of the house, he met the Wu family's convoy, and the shrewd old woman saw that he looked sluggish, disheveled, and even had some dots around his neck, and he was angry in his heart.

So he whispered outside the car window, "Miss, Second Prince Zhao is also coming back to the house, looking a little embarrassed." ”

When Wu Xiangyun heard this, he opened the curtain and looked at it, and he also guessed one or two, and he was annoyed, but he held back his anger and said, "He came back just in time, otherwise he would have to send someone to call him, wouldn't it be troublesome." ”

Zhao De was also weak-hearted, shouted and cheered, pulled out the threshold, welcomed the carriage into the gate, and then stood outside the carriage and said with a smile, "Sister Xiangyun can get off, it is already her own yard, and there are no outsiders anymore." ”

Wu Xiangyun replied softly, "It turns out that the second brother is at home, and Xiangyun thought that the second brother had gone out to take care of business." As she spoke, she took the little maid's hand, stepped on the small stool, and walked down from the carriage with a light and elegant posture, with the dazzling morning sun behind her, lining her in a plain dress, which was pure and elegant, as if the fairy above the nine heavens had descended to earth, and looked at Zhao De and a group of small servants who were stupid.

The shrewd old woman next to her lowered her head and coughed twice, and when she saw that everyone was awakened, she said, "Miss, it's windy today, let's go to the backyard to visit Madame." ”

"Ah, Mama is right, it's rare for me to see my second brother, and I forget about business when I gossip." Wu Xiangyun seemed to feel a little guilty, half-hanging his head, his face was slightly red, and he was even more shy and lovely.

Zhao De hurriedly waved his hand and comforted, "Sister Xiangyun is polite, you have to go all the way to work, it's not ours, mother..." ”

"How's that going to work? Madame is an elder," Wu Xiangyun said politely, his gaze seemed to inadvertently sweep towards Zhao De's neck, and suddenly asked in surprise, "Ah, second brother, why is your neck red, but you are injured?" ”

As she spoke, she was about to step forward to take a look, Zhao De suddenly raised his hands to cover his neck, regretting that he was too crazy last night, his eyes quickly turned a few times, and he covered it up, "Sister Xiangyun, don't worry, it's just that the pillow is a little damp, and I accidentally got some red rashes, and it will be fine after a while." It's a sister, why are the clothes and jewelry so plain, didn't the color clothing workshop send brocade and ready-to-wear to my sister this month? These dog minions, see me clean them up later, sister, you go to the backyard first, I still have a dozen good brocades and two boxes of gold jewelry in this warehouse, I will bring them to my sister. ”

As he said this, he turned around and ran away like a wind under his feet, Wu Xiangyun frowned slightly, and his face seemed to be a little confused, but he changed his smiling face and took his mother-in-law's hand into the second gate.

As soon as they left, a small servant came to ask and asked, "Second Young Master asked, did Miss Wu have doubts just now?" ”

A long attendant immediately smiled and said, "Tell the second young master to rest assured, Miss Wu didn't have any doubts, and she didn't ask more than half a sentence." ”

"That's good, that's good." The little guy ran back and passed the word to Zhao De, Zhao De felt even more guilty, such a fairy-like woman wanted to marry him as his wife, and trusted him so much, he was still messing around?

Thinking like this, his subordinates were busy, and the good clothes and jewelry, and small objects inlaid with gold and jade in the warehouse were enough to move several large boxes, and all the important people loaded them and sent them to the Wu family.

Saying that Wu Xiangyun, as soon as he left the eyes of the Zhao family in the front yard, his face immediately sank, and he slowly disdainful, and said in a low voice, "What a waste, I can't even lie and cover it up, Brother Fengnian left so many shops, and one day he will be defeated." ”

The mother-in-law was sent by Mrs. Wu to serve her daughter, and she had some status and was also shrewd, and when she said this, she saw that the Zhao family was far away, so she persuaded, "Miss, the eldest son is gone, you must remember not to mention it again." Although the second son is stupid, it is not necessarily bad, with the intelligence of the young lady, he can easily hold him in the palm of his hand, as long as he grabs Mrs. Zhao's handle again, it is not the Zhao family or the young lady who is in charge. ”

When Wu Xiangyun heard this, his mind turned, and he also felt reasonable, and immediately put on a gentle smile again, and praised the mother-in-law, "Mama is reasonable." ”

The master and servant smiled all the way through the verandah, and came to the door of the main house, and a little girl had already come to report it, Mrs. Zhao climbed out of the barrel in a panic, afraid of breaking the swollen bag that was more fragile because of the soaking water, so she simply put on a light brocade robe on her upper body, sat on the bed, and covered her thighs with a quilt, barely making the kind and kind appearance of the past.
