Red makeup against the world

Chapter 567
Xu Wanzhen listened, and her heart warmed up. It feels so good to be cared by him at this moment.

After dressing up, Madam Zheng came in: "Second Young Madam, are you going to take a look around the yard, and meet those escorts and female guards by the way?" Xu Wanzhen nodded.

After leaving the room, she was still a little uncomfortable walking, so Sangzi helped her to walk slowly.In the morning, I was in a hurry to meet my relatives, for fear of delaying the time, and I would not have time to take a closer look at it in the future if I hurried past.Looking around at this time, Xu Wan couldn't help but marvel at the size of the yard!
This is in the capital city where every inch of land is expensive. Even in the Duke's mansion, the yard of a bastard seems too big.

Coming out of the main room, there is a huge patio directly opposite. A water tank with a height of one person is placed at the four corners, and the water lilies in it are blooming just right.Such a large tank is used for running water, not just for good looks.

Connecting the main room, the east and west side rooms, the east and west side rooms, and the east and west wing rooms is a veranda that can accommodate three people walking side by side. The vermilion pillars are also painted with gold and phoenix paintings on the top, which is very delicate.

The ground is paved with large blue stones more than one foot long and half a foot wide. It can be seen that it has been used for some years, and the edges and corners have been washed away by the rain. Under the sunlight, it reflects a cool and faint cold light.

Walking out of the patio, looking to the left, you can see a pond surrounded by weeping willows, with a cornice exposed in the shade of the trees, which should be a gazebo on the bank.

Going right along the flower path by the pond is the way Xu Wanzhen left the yard early this morning, and in front is a screen wall that enters the yard.There is a row of extremely elegant houses on both sides of the screen wall, but now it is empty, no one lives in it and there is no furniture.

At the screen wall, a female guard came up to meet her: "My servant has seen the Second Young Madam."

She is the head of the twelve female guards, her name is Mei Xin.They were carefully selected by Wu Zhengxiang from the female guards raised in the Hefeng House, and sent to Xu's family with a single body deed, and then they went to the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion immediately before they got to know each other.

The continuous environment changes, although Mei Xin has kung fu, she is also very disturbed.In the Gaomang Dynasty, the status of women was low, especially orphans like them, it was extremely lucky that they could learn kung fu instead of being sold to a romantic place or a rich family as a slave.But their fate is still in the hands of the aloof master.

The Second Young Madam has an excellent reputation among the people, and they were very fortunate to be able to protect her by her side.It's just that hearing is believing seeing is believing, after Xu Wanzhen woke up, she didn't summon them immediately, the first ones she met were the maidservants she had been in Xu's house before, and Bai Yao, Bai Shan, the daughters who were rewarded by the Queen Mother. The guards felt a little uneasy.

Among the female guards, Mei Xin's kung fu is not the best, but her temperament is the calmest.In terms of emotion and reason, she should come to find out the truth.

Mother Zheng introduced, "This is Mei Xin, the head of the twelve female guards."

Xu Wanzhen took a closer look at her, she was a neat woman with bright eyes.The dress does not look like a woman wearing a skirt, but for the convenience of movement, she wears a mustache with arrow sleeves, the trouser legs are also tied into the boots, and a dagger is pinned to the waist, and the salute is clean and neat.

Xu Wanzhen has been in contact with Wu Zhengxiang for a long time, so she has some insight.It can be seen at once that her skills are not as good as Wen Mulan's, but she has a solid foundation, standing with uneven feet, and her foot is extremely stable.Wen Mulan's encounters are unique, and Mei Xin is a warrior who has gone through a lot of hard work, and she is indeed the one Wu Zhengxiang personally picked out.

Mei Xin was a little apprehensive by Xu Wanzhen, worried that if the Second Young Madam was not satisfied with her, how would she behave like the sisters?

Just as she was nervous, she suddenly heard a clear female voice: "Don't be nervous, you raise your head." For some reason, hearing her voice, Mei Xin immediately calmed down, raised her head and saw a pair of clear beautiful eyes.

Her first impression of Xu Wanzhen was that the second young lady was so young, she looked like she was already married as a young girl.

Xu Wanzhen said: "Now that the courtyard has not been settled yet, I have to work hard for you sisters to make do with it for the time being. It should be fine in a few days."

Mei Xinru was in a dream, and the second young lady was so pleasant to her?Hastily responded.

"How do you take turns?"

"Back to the Second Young Madam, the servants are divided into two groups, a group of six, and work in shifts day and night."

"Well, you must remember that if anyone else wants to enter the courtyard, they must first notify and obtain my permission before they can enter. Otherwise, no matter who they are, you cannot let them in."

Mei Xin complied, keeping this rule in her heart.They have been taught since childhood that whatever the master orders, they will do so, and they will never doubt it.

"In addition, if you find someone acting sneaky, or someone inquires about the situation in our yard, you should write it down here and report it to Madam Zheng."

Xu Wanzhen couldn't trust the manpower that Wu Zhengxiang painstakingly arranged.In Duke Zhong's mansion, the lack of manpower and furniture in the yard are not important. The first priority is to manage the yard like an iron bucket, and water can't get in.No matter how hard and painstaking you are outside, at least it is safe to come back here, this is the place to settle down.

Xu Wanzhen's full trust touched Mei Xin's heart, and she respectfully agreed.Seeing that she had no other orders, she retired and hid in the screen wall, and disappeared in a short while.

Seeing it with her own eyes, Xu Wanzhen still felt that this was really a magical skill.

Going forward is the gate of the courtyard, Madam Zheng said: "The four companions accompanied by the second young lady's family, the old man picked out a few women to guard the gate in rotation, and it has not yet been decided who will be in charge of the gate. The old man thought, with Mei Xin and the others around, they will be safe and sound, so the lady in charge of the door should take a look."

Xu Wanzhen nodded, if she was in Xu's house, she would be trustworthy, and the duty of guarding the gate of the courtyard was nothing more than a report.But here, the responsibility is heavy. Who can enter and who should block, this person must be carefully considered.

Sangzi supported her and walked back slowly.The veranda circles around the house in the main house and extends to the backyard.

Xu Wanzhen's eyes lit up, if what she saw just now was a pond, what is presented in front of her eyes now is a real lake.

The breeze blows across the surface of the lake, the clear water is slightly wrinkled, there are waterfowls inhabiting above, and there are several small islands in the lake.On the pier by the lake, two brand new birch boats were tied and a pergola was set up.

Looking to the right, there is a large plum forest on the shore of the lake, a small pavilion in the forest, and a deep well not far away.It was autumn at this time, and the leaves of Meilin had fallen sparsely, and it was hard to see how beautiful it was.But it can be imagined that when winter is approaching, when the snow is pressing down on the plum blossoms, it is really an elegant thing and extremely comfortable to invite friends to walk in the snow to find plums, draw water and make tea in the forest.

Looking to the left, there is a winding wall of pink, white and black tiles crossing the lake, supported by bluestone piers below, which divides the lake into two, which is very uncoordinated.
