Red makeup against the world

Chapter 173 Delivering Silk Flowers
Tu Manfen squinted at her, and said, "Of course you are not the Sun family. In terms of power and wealth, how can our Tu family be as good as the Sun family back then? But sister, this personal servant girl wants to show both kindness and power, and must make them loyal to you."

"But they did something wrong, shouldn't they be punished? Cuixiu scalded me, and this Swift gave me cold tea just now." Tu Manzhen stomped her feet in disbelief.

Hearing that she didn't have any regrets, Tu Manfen rubbed the center of her brows with a headache, and said: "There are many ways to punish. You have to change your usual violent temper. In a few years, you will leave the cabinet. Without a loyal servant girl, how would you handle yourself when you arrive at your husband's house? Besides, if I hadn't stopped you just now, you, a dignified young lady, would actually want to kick that swift by yourself? It's really disrespectful!"

Speaking of the latter, Tu Manfen spoke harshly.She has always been fond of this younger sister, the mother failed to give birth to a son, and only the two sisters depend on each other when they get married.Some behaviors towards her when she was young were also indulged too much.Only now did I realize that it was not an easy task to change her temper.

Seeing that her sister was angry, Tu Manzhen said embarrassingly: "My sister knows, and I won't do it in the future."

Tu Manfen sighed and said: "You really have to keep it in your heart." He taught her carefully, how to subdue the maids, how to punish them properly, how to make them afraid and how to make them grateful, Tu Manzhen listened to her frequently nod.

While the two sisters were talking, Yinping, who was guarding the door, raised his voice, "Why is Sister He Xiang free to come?"

The two looked at each other, knowing that He Xiang must have brought an invitation from the "Peony Flower Festival", so they stopped talking.Tu Manfen said loudly: "Quickly invite He Xiang to come in."

He Xiang entered the room, saluted with a smile, presented the brocade box containing the invitation, and said: "This morning, the princess mansion sent it. The old lady left the steward for dinner, so I have time to relax." Send it over to the two ladies."

Yinping stepped forward to take it and held it in front of the two of them.Tu Manfen took a deep breath, carefully opened the box, and saw two exquisite invitations lying quietly on the velvet.

She stretched out her hands to pick up one of them and looked at it carefully. This invitation card was made of high-quality flower paper, with a half-bloomed peony flower embroidered on the lower right corner, and the words "Peony Flower Festival" written in small letters on the front. Character.Below the invitation card, there is a silver bell with peony hollows and tassels. When you touch it lightly, there will be a pleasant bell.

Tu Manfen brought the invitation closer and was about to open it when a burst of intoxicating fragrance of flowers hit.When I smelled it closely, it turned out that the invitation was smoked with peony fragrance. Take a deep breath, the sweet fragrance is refreshing.

Tu Manzhen's excited voice came from next to her ear: "What a beautiful invitation! The Princess Mansion is so generous."

Not only is it a big deal, but so much effort can be put into this mere invitation, and several materials are used alone.Look at the pleasing peony embroidery and small regular script with hairpin flowers, smell the fine peony fragrance, and hear the soft ringing of silver bells.

Being able to see, hear, and hear, such an exquisite mind, I don't know who came from the princess mansion.Tu Manfen thought silently.

But He Xiang laughed and said: "Congratulations to the eldest lady and the second lady. The old lady said that tomorrow I will invite the shopkeeper of 'Yunshang' to come over and make clothes for the two ladies to attend the peony flower party."

Tu Manzhen was overjoyed, "Yunshang" is the top tailor-made clothing workshop in Beijing, and all the materials are the most fashionable and the most top-notch embroiderers are expensive.Lin's control of money is very tight, even though the two sisters were pampered and grew up, they never wore the clothes of "Yunshang" twice.

In the Green Bamboo Garden, Xu Wanzhen told Mrs. Xu about the preparations for the silk flowers, saying: "I have sent a post to the princess mansion, and I can deliver the silk flowers tomorrow. My granddaughter thought, since I have done it, it is better to be more perfect. Take the embroiderer and tie all these silk flowers to the branches."

Mrs. Xu patted her hand and said, "Even so, don't be too tired."

"Grandma, don't worry, granddaughter won't."

Several times, she wanted to tell her grandmother what Yingfeng told her, but she swallowed the words again.She really couldn't explain the source of the news, how could she easily learn about such palace secrets?Grandma didn't know about Shadow Wind's existence. Although she had great trust in him in her heart, how could she tell her about his late-night visit?
I had no choice but to press the Huatou, and everything will be discussed after the "Peony Flower Fair", depending on the situation.

As for Yingfeng reminding her to stay away from Princess Zhaoyang, she knew it well, and gradually cut off contact after the flower festival.The identities of myself and Princess Zhaoyang are originally different. As long as I don't go forward, what does the dignified princess have to do with me?

It's not bad for Xu Wanzhen to think so, but she never expected that her marriage has become the goal that Princess Zhaoyang must win, so why stay out of it?

The next day, Xu Wanzhen arrived at "Splendid Story" first.

The silk flowers are light in texture but take up a lot of space. In order to prevent the shape of the flowers from being damaged after being crushed, the shopkeeper Yu packed the silk flowers into three carts.

Xu Wanzhen said: "I will be summoned by Xuemin's house, and I will choose two embroiderers who have returned from the silk flower workshop to go to the Princess Mansion with me."

When they arrived at the Princess Mansion, just after getting off the carriage, Caisi supported Xu Wanzhen to stand still.Chun Ying came up to greet her, her attitude was a little more enthusiastic than the previous two times.She said crisply: "Miss Xu, you are here, the princess has talked about it several times."

Xu Wan was really suspicious, but she was only sending a silk flower, but Chunying was so enthusiastic but made her feel uneasy, don't you really call Yingfeng right?Suppressing the doubts in his heart, he said with a smile: "Also ask Miss Chunying to lead the way."

This time Princess Zhaoyang met her in the study to show her closeness.

Chunying brought her in, Princess Zhaoyang stopped the pen in her hand, and beckoned, "Wanzhen came just in time. Come and see, how about my quill pen?"

Xu Wanzhen took the pen and looked at it carefully. Compared with the quill pen she made, the one in her hand is more simple, and the barrel is thicker and can hold more ink.I tried it on paper, and the writing fluency is far better than before.

Xu Wanzhen respectfully said: "Princess Wanzhen has a clever mind, and Wanzhen is not in case."

Princess Zhaoyang took a fixed look at her, then burst into a big laugh, she was as bright as the sun, she shook her head and said, "Wanzhen, with me, you don't have to be so cautious. I hit you off right away, and you are just like my kiss." Like a girl." The tone was sincere and eager.

Even if Xu Wan really wanted to be on guard, she couldn't help but be intimidated by her demeanor and moved by her sincerity, and hurriedly said: "Wan really admires Princess Fanghua, and dare not make mistakes."

Princess Zhaoyang didn't say any more, she changed the subject and asked, "You came today to deliver the silk flowers? There are still two days left before the 'Peony Flower Fair'."

Xu Wanzhen bowed and said: "Returning to the princess, Wanzhen is lucky to live up to her fate, and now she has a total of five hundred silk flowers. The women thought about it and delivered it in advance, and let the embroiderers tie the silk flowers on the flower branches first, so as not to hinder the princess's appreciation of the silk flowers." Other arrangements for the flower festival."
