Red makeup against the world

Chapter 457 Fan Qianqian

All the way forward, the green shade surrounds the flowing water, the pavilions and eaves hidden among the trees, and the courtyard is deep.The subordinates perform their duties, well-trained and orderly.

No matter how many times Fan Qianqian had seen this scene, it still shocked her heart.

Thinking back to that home in Jinyang, not to mention the Hanging Flower Gate, there wasn’t even a shadow wall.There are seven or eight members of a family, all crowded in a cramped courtyard with two entrances.

After adding all the servants, there are only three.A errand woman is doing rough work and also guarding the gate, and her man is leading the errands outside.A big servant girl waited on her mother, doing embroidery and washing clothes.

Although she was the eldest daughter in the family, her father only wanted to raise her for a bride price, so she had to do everything in the house by herself.This little girl, Xing'er, was bought by her mother before she left.After all, when you come to Duke Zhong's mansion, how can you do it without someone you can command.

Thinking of this, she lowered her head and looked at her hands. Calluses were worn on her fingertips due to years of embroidery work.The skin on the back of the hand is not as smooth and delicate as people of the same age, even a little rough.

"I absolutely don't want to go back and live such a hard life again!" Fan Qianqian shouted in her heart.

When she arrived at the main courtyard, Mrs. Chen was having breakfast.Hearing the little girl's report, Mrs. Chen didn't intend to stop chopsticks.

Mother He said: "Didn't you see Madam eating? Let her wait."

Hearing the little girl's reply, Fan Qianqian was not surprised.

She smoothed out the non-existing folds of the skirt, crossed her hands on her abdomen, and stood in the porch in an orderly manner.Xing'er is just a country girl who just bought her back, how did she go through such scenes?Standing aside helplessly.

There are several tall magnolia trees in the courtyard, and it is the season to fully bloom at this time.The white magnolias, which are bright and clean, seem to be white butterflies resting on the trees, fluttering their wings at any time.

The morning breeze blew, bringing the fragrance of white magnolia to Fan Qianqian's nose.Attracted by the fragrance, she raised her head slightly, looked at the white magnolia that bullied Shuang Saixue, and showed a faint smile.

Suddenly, a few petals fell down with the wind, she stretched out her hand, caught one of the petals, and put it on the tip of her nose to sniff.

The morning light was slightly light blue, outlining her figure even more slender, as if she would turn into a butterfly at any moment.The side face with the head raised slightly, the magnolia petals in the hands, and the skirt that flutters gently in the wind constitute a beautiful picture of a beauty under the flowers.

And all of this was the first scene Wu Zhengxiang saw when he stepped into the courtyard.

He paused slightly, took a deep look at her, and then walked towards the house.

Fan Qianqian only felt her heart beating wildly. On the second day she came to the mansion, she found out where the second young master lived.But I have been guarding for several days, but I have never met him. Unexpectedly, I saw him suddenly today.

But what does his look mean?
She is very aware of how beautiful she is, and she also knows very well what to do to arouse a man's pity.

Although it was a coincidence that she was caught off guard just now, the habits she has developed over the years have made her very confident, and her self just now is enough to arouse the pity of any man.

However, in his eyes, there is no surprise, no pity, or even appreciation, so what is there?

Fan Qianqian thought hard and was startled.Yes!It was a warning, he was warning himself.But how does he know his own thoughts?What is he warning himself?

Just as she was about to think deeply, a roar from the room interrupted her thoughts.

"You actually manipulated my marriage to make you proud!" That was Wu Zhengxiang's voice.Then there was a crashing sound as the dishes were smashed.

Mother He scolded loudly, and he immediately bumped back: "Whatever your status is, you dare to teach me a lesson!"

She said something later, but she couldn't hear it clearly because she was far away.Only vaguely heard words such as "Queen Dowager, Yizhi, Nacai".

The room was quiet for a while, Wu Zhengxiang slammed the curtain, and walked out of the yard angrily, without even giving her the slightest wink.

Fan Qianqian lowered her head, and did not dare to take a big breath until he was far away.When he was angry, the aura he exuded was really terrifying!

After waiting for a while, the little girl came to ask her to go in.

After entering the room, the dishes that were just broken have been cleaned up, and there is no trace of them.

Fan Qianqian met the ceremony in a proper manner, glanced at the rich and compelling furnishings in the room from the corner of her eye, and her hidden nails were deeply embedded in the palm of her hand.

There was a conflict with Wu Zhengxiang just now, Chen's face was not hesitant, and he said lightly: "Raise your head, let me take a good look."

Fan Qianqian raised her head obediently, lowered her eyes and let Chen scrutinize her.

Mrs. Chen looked her up and down carefully with critical eyes, and said: "The rules are not good, and the salutes are not standard. The hair is frizzy, stretch out your hand."

Fan Qianqian stretched out her hands, Chen looked at her with disgust, and commented: "Hands are not good either, the skin is too thick. Fortunately, the face is pretty enough, otherwise it would be useless."

Fan Qianqian just wanted to dig a crack in the ground and get in.

What is it called?It was as if she had arrived at a livestock market where people could pick and choose, and was picked out one by one for evaluation.

A pair of beautiful almond eyes gradually became wet.

"Feel wronged?" Chen said coldly: "I feel wronged now, you should go back to Jinyang!"

For Fan Qianqian, the fear of going home is far greater than the humiliation she is suffering at this moment.She knelt down with a plop, and said, "Qianqian is not wronged. Just tell me what you want me to do."

Mother He snorted coldly, and said, "What a country girl! Why are you and me calling you madam, understand?"

Fan Qianqian nodded repeatedly, her expression full of fear.

She was really afraid that for her going to Beijing this time, the mother of the family had given up everything, bought her a hairpin dress, and bought Xing'er for the show.

If she went back so disheartened, her mother would no longer be able to protect herself.Father will definitely marry himself to that lustful and rude Huang Yuanwai as his concubine.Thinking of the miserable fate of his concubines, Fan Qianqian shuddered fiercely.

Seeing that the fire was almost ready, Chen asked lightly: "Do you want to stay?"

Fan Qianqian nodded abruptly.

"Then you must obey me in everything. I tell you to go east, but you must not go west. Even if you are asked to steal, rob, or even die, you must not disobey. Can you do all of these?"

Fan Qianqian smiled sadly, and said: "Madam, since I'm here, there is no retreat. No matter what Madam orders, Qianqian will never dare to disobey."

Mrs. Chen nodded in satisfaction, and said, "Get up! Remember what you said today, otherwise I will let you go back no matter how you came here."

Fan Qianqian got up: "I remember!"

"Mother He, ask someone to make a set of four seasons clothes for her. Also add some jewelry, don't be too shabby!"

After Chen gave her orders, she looked at Fan Qianqian again: "I'll give you three months to learn the rules of etiquette, can you do it?"
