Red makeup against the world

Chapter 883 Fortune and Misfortune
"Go to Mr. Ning's house, pack up the new year's pigs that Zhuangzi sent, and pick up the best meat." Li ordered with a smile.

Knowing that she was in a good mood and cared about her daughter, Huatang proposed pleasantly: "Madam, why don't you invite the eldest lady to go home. Count the days, you haven't seen her for a long time."

Li's smile deepened.Yes, she may not have seen her daughter for a long time, but every time she sent a letter, she said that it was very good, and that she had a fulfilling and happy life with Mr. Ning.

However, I am afraid that she will report good news but not bad news.Mother and daughter are heart-to-heart, and she is very worried about this daughter who has a bad marriage.

Once the Cheng family fell, she could slowly start to pay attention to Tu Manfen.She is in her youth, and she is not a widow. Could it be that she is ready to live alone for the rest of her life?

It is not uncommon for a divorced woman to remarry.

It has to be said that in this regard, the atmosphere of the Gaomang Dynasty is much more open than that of the previous dynasties.No matter how the folks are, at least they will not discriminate against these women legally.

"Okay," Li said with a smile, "you can ask her, she will come back when she has some free time."

Huatang agreed with a smile.

……

Pingguo government office.

When Tu Manzhen heard the news, she couldn't help but congratulate her.She had been displeased with Cheng Jinghao who bullied her sister early in the morning, so the villain will take it upon himself.

"Shui Lan." She called out loudly.

Shui Lan came in from the outside, bowed her knees to salute, and said with a smile: "I also ask the concubine Shi Zi to order."

These few days Tu Manzhen was a little secretive, ordered not to enter the house without her permission, and didn't know what she was doing inside.

Shui Lan is the dowry maid she brought from the Tu family. She was originally second class in the Tu family, but was promoted to first class when she followed her.The little maid had also grown up, so Tu Manzhen planned to find a husband's family for Shui Lan after she gave birth.

"Go to Mr. Ning's house and ask if Elder Sister is free." At this point, Tu Manzhen waved her hand impatiently and said, "Whether she is free or not, I have to invite her to come, just say I want her."

Tu Manzhen has a straightforward temperament, not as tactful as Li Shi.Relying on the sisterhood, she was much more casual, so she asked Tu Manfen to come to the mansion.

It is inconvenient for her to go out because she is pregnant, but how can such a big good thing be done without talking to the elder sister?It is inconvenient for her to go out, but Tu Manfen is always convenient.

……

Tu Manfen followed Mr. Ning back to the mansion, and the two talked about the new bakery of Baicaowei, and the elimination and replacement of pastry chefs.

With Mr. Ning, she has learned a lot.

Like her before, she only knows how to taste delicious food. She never thought that there are so many processes from production to serving the guests' tables, involving many hands and different positions.

Yes, post.Mr. Ning introduced the modern post responsibility system into Baicaowei.At first, it was only implemented in the pastry shop she was in charge of. Later, Xu Wenmin thought it was good and asked the big shopkeeper to implement it in the whole store.

Tu Manfen feels that this is a completely different process from making some sweet-scented osmanthus cakes for snacks at home.

She is undoubtedly eager to learn. When she shifts her gaze to the knowledge that is new to her, she absorbs and progresses like a sponge.

The two entered the mansion gate one after the other.Mr. Ning looked gentle and patiently explained the questions raised by Tu Manfen.And Tu Manfen looked excited, like a child who just got a novelty candy.

The gatekeeper woman went up to see the ceremony, and said: "Miss Tu, the wife of the Tu family and the princess and concubine of the Duke of Ping have sent someone here just now."

"Oh?" Tu Manfen was taken aback, it's not a festival, why did mother and younger sister send people to ask? "What did they say?"

"Mrs. Tu said that Zhuangzi killed the Nian pig and sent some high-quality meat. By the way, let the lady go back when she has time."

"The concubine Shizi said that no matter how busy the eldest lady is, go to her house immediately." Tu Manfen smiled unconsciously, this was indeed what Tu Manzhen would say.

However, she still didn't understand the reason for the sudden rush to let her go back.

Seeing her confused, Mr. Ning thought it was a little funny.The collapse of the Cheng family was such a big event that it spread all over the capital.As a female student, why doesn't she seem to know?

"It should be that the Cheng family is gone, and your mother and sister are eager to marry you off." Mr. Ning rarely teased her.

It is impossible for her not to know about such a big event that happened in Beijing Lilian in the past two days.For ordinary people in the capital, the Guan family was ransacked and beheaded first, followed by the fate of the several Marquis residences.

Compared with the tragic situation of the Guan family, the Hou Mansion finally had meritorious service made by the ancestors, and Emperor Qinglong also treated him extrajudicially.Except for the beheading of the chief culprit, the Gao and Cheng families saved their lives.

Ordinarily, Tu Manfen should be very happy to see the Cheng family's misfortune.But she had already forgotten Cheng Jinghao, and when Xu Wanzhen retrieved the reconciliation document for her, she completely separated her relationship with the Cheng family in her heart.

Therefore, the focus of the people in the capital on this major case is equivalent to Tu Manfen's attitude.She didn't have any special feelings for the Cheng family, so she didn't understand what her mother and sister did for a while.

Tu Manfen was at a loss at first, then suddenly realized and understood.I don't know what she thought of, Xia Sheng's cheeks were full, and she stomped her feet in disbelief: "Sir, you are the same."

Seeing her look like a little girl, Mr. Ning blinked narrowly, and said with a smile: "If you don't believe me, just go back and try."

The two talked and walked into the house.

The weather is getting colder every day, but Tu Manfen's body is much better than in previous years.Running up and down after Mr. Ning, she didn't need to exercise deliberately, and felt her body was stronger than usual.

After getting out of the sedan chair, she hurried away. Although the weather was cold, she felt sweat on her forehead before entering the house.

"I'm going to enter the palace in the afternoon." Mr. Ning untied the cloak and handed it to Yinglan, looked at Tu Manfen and said, "You just go back, so as not to worry about them."

Tu Manfen nodded obediently. At this time, she had fully understood the concern and joy of her family, but she was the only one who realized it later.

But for the Cheng family, she really didn't feel anything.Whether it's Cheng Jinghao who used to be a husband and wife, or her mother-in-law Lin Anjia, or the sister-in-law who bullied her overtly and secretly.

It's only been a few months since we left, but she feels that these few months are more exciting than her previous days.Thinking of her days in Cheng's family now, it is as far away as the past.

"I'm relieved to see you like this." Mr. Ning said with a smile when he saw that she really had no feelings for the Cheng family.

In this era, a woman's marriage is tantamount to a second reincarnation.If you don't marry well, you will have to spend the rest of your life in it.

It was unfortunate for Tu Manfen to meet a husband like Cheng Jinghao.

But she is also lucky. When she encounters difficulties and falls into a trough, she has a loyal maid like Yinping, Xu Wanzhen who stretches out her hand to support her, and a family who loves her and cares about her to stand up for her.

In addition, there is Wang Leyu who is devoted to her.
