Red makeup against the world

Chapter 908 Mother
Hearing that her tone showed a bit of intimacy, and she didn't reward herself again, Zhiyan was slightly relieved in her heart.

Although being polite and rewarding is nice, it reveals a sense of alienation.Only outsiders can be so polite.Young Madam's like this means that she has recognized herself.

She still maintained a respectful expression on her face, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.This was already a big mood swing for her who had been trained by Lu Shi since she was a child.

After Zhiyan withdrew, Xu Wanzhen opened the account book and read it carefully.

Her current task is to formulate dividends based on the operating conditions of each store and Zhuangzi.This dividend is also particular. The profit of a shop does not only depend on whether the shopkeeper is diligent or not.

The source of goods, the location, the quality of the customers, and whether the orders passed down by the store are correct, all these factors determine how much money a store can make in the end.

And these things can't be seen just by looking at the account books.Xu Wan really wanted to ask Xu Wenmin to take a look after finishing the distribution method.He is more familiar with the operating conditions of these stores.

After finishing writing the dividend plan and taking a nap after lunch, Xu Wanzhen asked Bai Yao to check the warehouse.

The Chinese New Year is just around the corner, so it's time to prepare New Year's gifts for each family.

The Xu family and the Tu family are blood relations of direct relatives, and the gifts prepared are mainly various fresh goods.Tangerines and pomelo from the south, medicinal materials from Zhuangzi in Suzhou, and New Year’s goods from Zhuangzi in the suburbs of Beijing, etc.

The Mansions of Anguo, Pingguo, and Dingguo prepared different annual gifts according to the degree of friendship.Although she is not the mistress of Duke Zhong's mansion, she is close to the Shi family and Liu family, so naturally she cannot leave the Cao family behind.

And the He family who is far away in Songzhou cannot be forgotten.Tu Fangyan gave birth to two children in a row, presumably the wife of the Second Young Master He became more wary of her.

Zhiyuan lived inside, and ordered the sewing room to sew New Year's clothes for the servants in the courtyard.I rewarded Caisi and Sangzi with silver, and asked them to send New Year gifts to their future in-laws.

It was almost dusk after this busy trip.Fortunately, Xu Wanzhen doesn't like to socialize, and there are not many people outside of her relatives.

"Young Madam." Qingluo walked in a hurry, walked up to her and knelt down and said, "I heard that the old lady of the Cheng family has gone."

Xu Wanzhen flipped through the booklet and asked, "What's going on?"

The old lady of the Cheng family, also known as the former Mrs. Anpinghou, is the eldest sister of the Lin family.

"Today is the day when Gao and Cheng's families were escorted and set off." Qing Luo reported, "According to the news from Jiaofang Secretary, Mrs. Cheng is struggling to see her family off."

"After being stopped, I turned around and found her hanged in the room." Qingluo was in her prime of youth, and when she talked about the news of a person's death, her tone was unavoidably heavy.

Xu Wanzhen closed her eyes, Mrs. Cheng's death was just the beginning.

Perhaps, such a big gap from the dignified Mrs. Hou to the servant of the Jiaofang has already made her want to die.However, the desire to see her family for the last time must have made her struggle.

But in detail, only Mrs. Cheng herself understood her thoughts before she died.

"There is another piece of news." Qingluo thought for a while and said: "After all the people who were sentenced to exile have left, one person was found dead in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice."

"Who?"

"Wang Miaoyan, the former female historian of the abolished prince's mansion."

Xu Wanzhen closed the booklet in her hand, and it seemed that Wang Miaoyan's howling that day echoed in her ears.She died in the end and didn't live another year.

She absolutely did not believe that Wang Miaoyan's stubborn temper would ask for death on his own.Behind this, it is not known who made the move.

Maybe she knew too much and killed her to silence her.Perhaps, it was she who committed crimes against Ledo in the past and was sought out by her enemies.

Shaking his head, he put the news of Wang Miaoyan's death behind him.This woman who regarded her as an enemy, Xu Wanzhen didn't take her seriously.

……

The Gao family was dispatched to Yunling, while the Cheng family was sent to Yazhou, which was even more miserable.One is in the extreme south, and the other is in the extreme east. The two teams do not go the same way.

The guards who were escorting the two teams parted ways after they came out of the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice.

Gao Zhiyuan was wearing a wooden shackle in his hand, and he hugged his young son tightly in his arms with great difficulty.The son was still too young, holding his small body, Gao Zhiyuan couldn't help but throbbing in his heart.

The Gao family is over, but Kai Geer is really innocent.

After leaving the city gate, everyone seemed to have a tacit understanding, and they all turned their heads to look at the majestic Luoyang City silently.

do not!the capital.

The jailers who escorted them were used to this situation.I know that although these dignitaries are down and out, their ancestors have made great contributions to the establishment of the country.There was no urging, and I stopped to drink water by the way.

After half an hour, we started again.

Shi Jingyu led the people and waited anxiously under an old tree with a crooked neck.The servants reported that the Gao family had been escorted out of the city and was coming this way.

With his son and husband in his heart, the waiting time seemed extremely long.

Fortunately, she didn't have to wait too long, and the group of prisoners who were being escorted appeared not far ahead.

Because it was going a long distance, the shackles on everyone were replaced with light wooden shackles.The shackles on the feet have also been removed, and everyone is only connected with hemp ropes to prevent escape.

Gao Zhiyuan hugged his son, not long after he walked, his feet started to ache.He really didn't know if he could walk such a long distance with only his own feet.

He has also practiced martial arts, but he used horses to travel when he went hunting and so on, but he had never walked such a long distance.

Holding his son tighter, Gao Zhiyuan secretly made up his mind.As long as I still have breath, I must hold on.In this situation, everyone is overwhelmed.If you die, don't expect anyone to help take care of your son.

He mechanically moved his legs forward, but the team slowly stopped under the command of the team leader, the captain.

Gao Zhiyuan doesn't know why, but it's always good to get some rest time.He put his son on the ground and rubbed his sore shoulders.

Gao Kai has just turned two years old, and the changes in his family these days have caused him to lose the vivacity of a child.At this moment, he frowned, and his big, ignorant eyes were full of worry, "Father, are you tired?"

Gao Zhiyuan was about to speak, but he became happy when he heard Gao Kai's voice. His immature hands hooked his father's sleeves, and he jumped up excitedly, "Mother! It's mother who came."

This child, I'm afraid he thinks his mother is stupid.I had already given the letter of divorce to Shi Jingyu, how could she come at this time?Are you not afraid of being implicated?
He was about to squat down and explain to his son when a trembling voice came from behind him, "Husband."

This voice is so familiar, Gao Zhiyuan couldn't believe it.He turned his head slowly, his eyes were a little red, and he really saw her standing upright, looking at him with tears in her eyes.
