Section 45: Purposeful Visitation

Two days before the commissioner arrived in Yuzhou, Cheng Dongyang said to Murong Hualou: "Madam, you can go to the Wu Mansion tomorrow, I heard that General Wu Yi's wife accidentally had a cold, and you ask for condolences on behalf of the overseer......

Murong Hualou was holding a dense porcelain gold-painted coffee cup, which was rich and mellow, and she asked, "General Wu Yi?" Is that the admiral of the southeast, General Wu? ”

Cheng Dongyang heard that she rarely went out to socialize, thinking that she didn't know about the Wu family. Hearing her accurately report the other party's background, Cheng Dongyang bowed: "It's ......."

She rolled her eyes, slightly confused: "How did I hear that General Wu has a bad relationship with the Overseer?" Although they are colleagues, the two have the wrong temper and rarely interact with each other......"

She can also guess one or two of the inside story. Bai Yungui is in charge of the military in Yuzhou, and General Wu Yi is in charge of the southeast navy.

Cheng Dongyang observed Murong Painting's face, and said implicitly: "Mrs. Wu is a famous lady in Kyoto, and she is arrogant, and it is difficult for ordinary family members to enter her elegant hall. Madame is not in Yuzhou, the overseer army is busy with the military, and there is less entertainment, so naturally she is estranged from General Wu......"

This means that Mrs. Wu looks down on Yun Yuan's background and is unwilling to befriend Yun Yuan, right?

The two families have a close friendship, and they have to move around each other. Mrs. Wu was unwilling to befriend Bai Yungui's aunt, so she lowered her identity and became estranged from the Bai family?

Fan Run's fingertips rubbed gently along the edge of the coffee cup, the cup of coffee was cold, Murong Hualou's eyes flickered, and he didn't take a sip, just held it in the palm of his hand. After a moment, she raised her face, her pupils as clear as water: "General Wu and the Overseer are colleagues, Madame Wu is a few years older than me, and now she is sick again, I should visit...... Adjutant Li, can you prepare a gift for me......"

He asked no more.

Cheng Dongyang was slightly surprised. He remembered that when the Overseer asked his wife to help him defend Yuzhou, he said with some concern, "After all, Madame is a woman, and if she sees a big scene, if she has stage fright, she will ...... it," but the Overseer chuckled, "She won't have stage fright, she will only be clumsy...... Never underestimate a woman, especially a woman with soft fingers! ”

Everyone said that the lady in the mainland was cowardly and rustic, but the overseer felt that she could take on a big role, and Cheng Dongyang was faintly uneasy at first. In the past two days, I have seen her docile and demure again, and my heart is even worse.

It wasn't until this moment, with a little puff of words, that she was able to follow his instructions, and Cheng Dongyang felt that the Overseer's eyes were like torches. Maybe she is the kind of woman who is soft on the surface and strong on the inside?

Cheng Dongyang breathed a sigh of relief.

At dinner in the evening, knowing that Murong Hualou was going to visit the Wu Mansion tomorrow, Bai Yunling smiled secretly.

Being looked at by Murong Hualou, she raised her eyebrows: "You smiled so meaningfully, did you hear anything inside?" ”

Bai Yunzhan also listened with his ears pricked up.

Bai Yunling snorted, he laughed first, and his eyes shone on Murong Hualou's face: "I also listened to what Lu Ran said, I don't know if it's true or not...... Young Marshal Wu wanted to marry Miss Rong Zhou as his aunt's wife, and Mrs. Wu was furious, saying that their Wu family was a famous family, where could they allow the drama to be the aunt's wife, and lose the face of their ancestors. He also said that it was all Baiyun who returned to the ringing horse, and accepted Yun Yuan first, and the younger generations could learn from it. That's when I'm sick...... Sister-in-law, you must be careful tomorrow. That Mrs. Wu's family style is fierce, I am afraid that I will not give you affection at that time, and I will accuse you of not governing your family strictly......"

"Where is this?" Bai Yunzhan was displeased, and glared at Bai Yunling, "It's all women's knowledge, you still pick up people's teeth, where do you look like a woman in the new era?" ”

The reprimand made Bai Yunling's face red, and he raised his hand to beat him.

"However, Mrs. Wu said that the eldest brother was born in Xiangma, which really makes people angry!" Bai Yunling's eyes sank, and he pursed his lips with anger, "Our Bai family is also a prestigious family, and the eldest brother graduated from a regular military academy, and General Wu just went to the British Navy for two years of further study......

"The more you talk, the farther it goes......" Murong Hualou smiled and interrupted Bai Yunling's words, but the light in his eyes quietly narrowed.

She thought of Rong Zhou's cold, arrogant, and invincible face, and thought of the rudeness of Wu Shaoshuai Wu Shifu Kong Wu. He just took the position of power by his father, and he couldn't be high or low, how could Rong Zhou choose him?

Even if it is Li Fangjing, it is a hundred times better than Wu Shifu, right? Moreover, there are many people in Yuzhou's political circles who love Rong Zhou, and there are many people who have a high position and power over Wu Shifu......

Ice and snow are a smart happy woman, this move is puzzling to Murong Painting Building.

"Ling'er, do you think Miss Rong Zhou and Young Marshal Wu are a good match?" Murong Hualou asked tentatively. The long window behind him was open, the wind-swept gauze curtain was undulating, the snow-colored embroidered tablecloth was lifted, and Murong Hualou raised his hand to press it down.

Bai Yunling pursed his lips, "It's not good to say." Think about it from another perspective, if I am holding a high banner, I will naturally take advantage of this shareholder wind to find a splendid fate for myself, and a son like Wu Shaoshuai will not be a good match...... However, outsiders said that it was given to Major Marshal Wu by Major General Li Liu, Rong Zhou...... I don't know what kind of muddled account it is......"

Murong Painting Lou was stunned.

"You women are so broken!" Bai Yunzhan said unhappily, "Who followed whom, and didn't stop you from walking and eating......

"Bai Yunzhan, you bastard! We don't stop you from walking and eating! Bai Yunling was harassed by him twice, and the gentle cat stretched out its sharp claws and became furious.

Murong Painting House did not persuade him, and he was still smiling dumbly on the sidelines, watching from the wall.

In the past, when he was in his hometown, Bai Yunzhan often teased Bai Yunling, and the two brothers and sisters had a very good relationship, but they often quarreled, like two children.

On the second day, I went to the Wu Mansion, and the tall iron gate was heavily guarded. I heard that Bai Dujun's wife came to visit the patient in person, and the chief daughter-in-law of Wu Mansion came to greet her respectfully, holding Murong Hualou's arm with a smile, and was very affectionate: "Mom is the wind and cold, and Mrs. Lao Bai remembers it." ”

Murong Hualou was overwhelmed by her excessive enthusiasm, and his smile was a little reluctant: "I don't go out much, I don't know the news, I only found out that my wife was sick yesterday, so I came in a hurry, don't bother, it's good to ......."

The eldest young grandmother hurriedly said some kind words, and then led Murong Huaupstairs to see Mrs. Wu. Seeing Murong Hualou lowering his eyes and whispering, he thought that the ladies in the mainland were different. The lady of the new school, which one is not arrogant? She is the only one who is so low-key and gentle, as if she is afraid of things.

Mrs. Wu was about fifty years old, with a plump and white face, kind and amiable, but she was a little cold to Murong Painting Building.

Feeling that the master was not very welcome, Murong Hualou sat down slightly and went back.

When he returned home, Cheng Dongyang gave her two beautifully packaged brocade boxes and said, "Madam, this is the best blood bird's nest in Nanyang, you can send it to Mrs. Wu tomorrow to see if she has completely recovered......

Murong Hualou frowned, and some thoughts suddenly floated in his heart.

She took it quietly, didn't ask much, and went again the next day.

This time, the people of Wu Mansion also felt weird. Mrs. Bai gave Mrs. Bai a cold reception yesterday, why did she come to the door again today? The White Mansion is more prominent than the Wu Mansion, does this White Lady need to slap Mrs. Wu?

Grandma Wu warmly received Murong Painting Building, and Mrs. Wu still looked worried.

Murong Hualou didn't say much, asked a few gossips, put down the gift, and left.

Grandma Wu felt that this was quite abnormal at this time, so she told her husband. Wu Dagongzi worked in a bank and did not have much political acumen, so he had to convey his wife's doubts to his father.

After hearing this, General Wu's heart sank slightly, and he recruited a staff officer to hold a meeting overnight.
