Second-hand lady

Chapter 50

When Wen Liang said pitifully that she was injured from a fall and needed to recuperate well, don't make any fuss about it, so when he just went back to the Duke's Mansion by himself, Miss Rucui didn't care.

Miss Rucui felt that she had rough skin and thick flesh, so she didn't take this injury seriously.Sure enough, after a day, I felt that my face was not so painful, and the swelling also subsided a little visually. I guess the day after tomorrow should not be so scary.

When Miss Rucui asked her two maids, the two maids looked at her silently at the same time, their expressions were quite delicate, so Miss Rucui decided not to ask.On the other hand, Yusheng, who was in charge of the master's clothing and other matters, frowned when she saw her face, hesitant to speak, and finally closed her eyes under Miss Rucui's innocent expression, pretending to be innocent. See.

On the day of Zhen Guogong's 50th birthday, Miss Rucui woke up before Wen Liang woke up.

It just so happened that the snow had stopped that day, and there were snowflakes hanging on the corners of the eaves and branches, and the early servants were gently removing the snow.

Miss Rucui took a selfie in the mirror in the light of the sky, her swollen face turned into a steamed bun, but the bruises did not disappear much, Miss Rucui thought, using powder should be able to cover it up.Thinking about it, I pressed my face, and it still felt a little tingling
Just when Miss Rucui was trying to look in the mirror, a lazy voice sounded: "I got up early this morning, aren't you cold or tired?"

Miss Rucui turned her head and saw the man lying on the side of the bed and stretching out his hands to lift the curtain, only a hairy head sticking out from the corner of the bed—the image was really ruined, so she didn't need to destroy his image at all, he would destroy his own image.At this time, someone was lazily nestling under the blanket, stretching his neck to look at her, his peach blossom eyes were deep.

Miss Rucui put down the mirror and came over, and said happily: "Master Wen, Grandpa Hu's medicine is really good, you see the swelling is almost gone, rub some pink to cover it up, no one will find out. "

Wen Liang hugged the quilt and got up, pulled her to the bed for a closer look, then rubbed her intact half of the face and said: "The two sides of the face don't line up, one side is thin and the other is swollen, it's still easy for people to see. If someone asks Your face is fat like this, how do you answer?" He asked.

Miss Rucui said calmly: "It's been cold recently, I've eaten a lot, half of my face has become fatter by accident."

"..."

Wen Liang raised his forehead immediately, do you think others are stupid?Or are you too thick-skinned?In fact, girl, you are thick-skinned, right?
However, Wen Liang could also see from it that this girl was very persistent in going back to celebrate his father's birthday, which made him inexplicably broke the principle and asked to go back automatically... Wen Liang sighed in his heart, dragged her into his arms and bowed his head under her A kiss on the lips.If there is no principle, then there is no principle. Anyway, since I met her, I have no principles for a long time.

But Master Wen sighed that he was unprincipled, but in Miss Rucui's eyes, what she thought was: Master Wen is having a quarrel again, obviously there are some things that can be avoided so stiffly, but he can't keep his face.

After breakfast, Miss Rucui called all the Tsing Yi and Blue Clothes over, and it was rare for them to put on delicate and beautiful makeup for her, instead of putting on light makeup casually like in the past.Tears welled up in the eyes of the two maids. Although they knew that Miss Er Cui was just trying to cover up the wound on her face, it was rare for her to have this awareness, which made them extremely happy.

Miss Rucui was originally a beauty with an oval face, as long as she didn't open her mouth, she was still very pleasing to the eye.After careful grooming, Wen Liang was stunned for a moment when he first saw her, and then reached out to hold her hand, met her smiling eyes, returned a warm smile, and said, "Girl, you are very beautiful today."

Miss Rucui returned a smiling face without hesitation, gave him a thumbs up and said: "Master Wen is as beautiful as usual!"

"..."

Er Que's girl laughed so hard that Wen Liang could only look at her with a blank face for a while, and the cold wind blew for a while.

The smiling face in Tsing Yi and Blue Yi was stiff, twisting her pretty face and looking at someone who broke the warm atmosphere with a single sentence, she felt infinite sympathy for Mr. Wen in her heart.

Today is Laozhen Guogong's 50th birthday.

Fifty is a very solemn number. Fifty knows the destiny. In ancient times, it can be said that it has entered the ranks of the elderly. Even the emperor sent envoys to celebrate the birthday of Zhen Guogong, so that there are prominent families and ministers in the capital. They are very happy to come here to celebrate the birthday of Laozhen Guogong. At the same time, I also want to have a closer look at Wen Liang, the grand master who is well-known in Gyeonggi.

However, after arriving at the Duke of Zhen's mansion, he found that the two adult concubine sons of the Duke of Zhen's mansion were receiving the guests in front of the door, and Wen Liang, who was the legitimate son, was not there.Everyone looked at each other, conveying something that can only be understood and cannot be expressed in words. The older generation naturally knows that this is the case every year, and it is not surprising. What they want to know this year is that it is not easy for Wen Haohao to return to Beijing to settle down. , and working in Beijing, there should be no reason not to go home to celebrate his father's birthday, right?
People of the older generation know what happened to the Duke of Zhen's mansion back then. The eldest son of the Duke of Zhen died in the palace, and then the wife of the Duke of Zhen also passed away, and the second son of the Duke of Zhen died. The son had a quarrel with the Duke of Zhen Guo, and left the house when he was young.But what makes them feel funny is that they are obviously just a brat, but over the years, no matter what absurd things that brat has done, he has the ability to smooth it out, although there are some clues that can show that the emperor His handwriting is in it, but Wen Liang's reputation has not been damaged. On the contrary, mentioning this person has made everyone talk about it, and he has become the object of admiration and pursuit by the younger generation.

Another carriage stopped at Duke Zhen's mansion, Wen Yun saw the sign of the carriage, and hurried forward to meet it.

It is the carriage of the Imperial Physician Fang. This Imperial Physician is the judge of the Imperial Hospital and one of the family friends of the Duke of Zhen. The old Zhen Guogong formed a close friend, so that the children of the Zhen Guo Mansion would respectfully call him Grandpa Fang when they saw him.

After the two juniors greeted him, Imperial Physician Fang smiled and let Wen Yun help him into the door, and asked, "Where's your father?"

"It's resting in the main hall. Dad is getting old, and his health is not as good as before. Now it's cold, so we persuaded him to rest inside. Grandpa Fang, don't blame me." Wen Yunsu's upright face showed a little smile: "Father has been looking forward to your coming today, Grandpa Fang, and told me and my fourth brother to treat you well."

Physician Fang nodded, and then asked, "Where's Brother Liang? Why don't you see him?"

Wen Yun hesitated for a while, then Fang said: "The third younger brother is on his way and will be back in a while."

Hearing this, Imperial Physician Fang froze, then sighed heavily, and asked, "Their father and son are still so stiff?"

Wen Yun just smiled.

Doctor Fang knew what the father and son were thinking, so he didn't say anything.

After Wen Yun sent Imperial Physician Fang to the main hall, he went back to the gate to greet the guests.

Duke Zhen was overjoyed to see Imperial Physician Fang again, and hurriedly asked his servants to serve refreshments.

After the two chatted for a while, Imperial Physician Fang signaled Lord Zhen Guo to send his subordinates, and Fang said solemnly: "There is something I want to tell you, but I'm afraid that you will be angry if you find out. And what about Brother Liang? I also watched the child grow up, I know the pain in his heart, I always hope that you father and son can be kind, both father and son are connected by blood, there is no obstacle to overcome... "

The corners of Duke Zhen's eyes twitched slightly, and he had a bad premonition in his heart. He reluctantly said, "It's because that scoundrel is too stubborn. When he was young, he was busy with government affairs... so he has never been able to discipline him well. Alas, in this life I don't ask for anything, I just hope that he can come back to inherit this son after a hundred years, so that I don't lose the face of my Wen family." After a pause, he asked again: "Brother Jinhuai, I don't know if you have anything to ask for. Said? You and I have been friends for decades, what else can't we say?"

Physician Fang sighed again, and said, "Okay, you have to know about this too. I just hope that you will be calm after hearing this, and don't want to quarrel with that boy Liang Geer again..."

When Wen Liang arrived at Zhen Guogong's mansion with Rucui girl in full makeup, whether it was the guests who had just arrived in front of the door or the Wen family brothers, they felt incredible.

"Third brother, you are back!" Wen Yun said pleasantly, like a big brother who is tolerant of naughty siblings, he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Third brother is a busy person. You have been out on father's birthday for so many years I'm busy, so I just asked someone to bring back a congratulatory gift. Brother Wei didn't say anything, knowing that you were doing it for us Dachu, and now peace is finally achieved, seeing you come back, Brother Wei is very relieved."

Wen Liang smiled and said: "Look at what elder brother said, no matter how unfilial I am, I will come back on my father's birthday."

Hearing the conversation between the two brothers, the audience around had a good impression of Wen Liang, and erased more than half of what he had done, and the rest was good.

At this moment, the housekeeper who was busy with the banquet ran out panting. When he saw Wen Liang, he was shocked and worried, and then said to the three young masters: "Eldest young master, third young master, fourth young master, you have worked hard!" Yes. The master said, if the third young master comes back, let him go directly to the study to find him, and he has something to tell the third young master."

Seeing the old housekeeper's face, the three Wen brothers had bad instincts. Both Wen Yun and Wen An were a little worried, but due to the large number of guests, it was difficult to show it. They just smiled and said that it must be the father who missed the third brother, and urged Wen Liang The couple went in.

Wen Liang walked ahead calmly. Although the old butler was worried, he had too many things to do and couldn't accompany him, so he could only leave worriedly.

The old housekeeper's worry also made Miss Rucui a little uneasy, especially when Wen Liang asked her to go to the conservatory for female relatives to find Mrs. Zhen Guogong, Miss Rucui knew with her beast-like intuition that her father-in-law was in a bad mood, maybe She was about to make fun of her husband, and pulled Wen Liang's sleeves to follow.

"I don't know why Dad is angry, but I'll stay with you. It's better for two people to stand next to each other than one person, right?" Miss Rucui looked at him eagerly, looking at the black hair and white clothes in the bleak winter scenery. A man always feels that he is precious and fragile, and a gust of wind will blow him away.

Wen Liang was a little amused, rubbed her left cheek, deformed it, then burst out laughing, and said in a gentle voice: "It's okay, I have been fighting with the old man for more than ten years, which time was it not me who made him angry?" You have to jump? You have to trust your husband." He bowed his head and rubbed her neck affectionately.

The warm breath made her face a little red, and her head was a little confused.

But in the eyes of others, this scene seemed to be making out in broad daylight, and the eyes of the two girls who saw it from a distance changed drastically.

After Wen Liang left, Miss Rucui sighed, muttered something, and wanted to leave with her Tsing Yi on her back, when she happened to see two richly dressed girls and a few maids standing respectfully behind them on the turning road not far away. Mother Ring.And those two girls, one with a gloomy face and the other with fiery eyes, stared at her with an expression that wanted to eat her.

There was a servant waiting in front of the study, who was one of the stewards working with Lord Zhen Guo.Seeing Wen Liang approaching, the steward didn't dare to say anything to remind him. He just made a gesture, probably to persuade him not to make Duke Zhen angry, and the father and son had a good talk.

Wen Liang smiled at him, waved his hand to signal that he didn't have to worry, and then pushed the door open.

In the study, Mr. Zhen Guo was standing there with his support on the table, Yan Lai's flat and majestic face was full of anger and a little undetectable sadness.

"Father, what do you want from me?" Wen Liang stood at the door and asked calmly.

It was Zhen Guogong who answered him, picked up the teacup on the table and threw it at him.

Wen Liang didn't dodge or dodge, the teacup hit him on the forehead, the tea soaked in the tea dripped all over his face, his hair and clothes were soaked by the tea, the forehead that was hit was black, and blood stains spewed out soon ...
