Red makeup against the world

Chapter 730
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Wanzhen's carriage slowly drove out from the side door of Duke Zhong's Mansion and headed towards Duke Pingguo's Mansion.

Both are in Mingyifang, but one is in the east and the other is in the west, not far apart.If you walk, you can get there in only three quarters of an hour.

Guarding both sides of Xu Wanzhen's carriage were six female guards riding heroic horses, and Mei Xin rode at the front.

Both Wen Mulan and Caisi sat beside Xu Wanzhen, and Caisi was carrying a burden.Not only the spare clothes and cloak were brought inside, but also the tribute dagger from the Great Food Kingdom.

Wu Zhengxiang's guards who stayed at home rode at the back, and he ordered two guards to follow.In the dark, there were two hidden guards who dropped out of the convoy so that they could respond at any time.

This formation is far more pompous than Lu's going out.Besides Xu Wanzhen and Caisi, all of them are elite soldiers.On the streets where people come and go during the day, this kind of force is enough to deter all Xiaoxiao.

After listening to the report in the Zhengchun Courtyard, Mrs. Lu frowned tightly.This Xu Wanzhen, do you know what restraint is?

The Wu family had just formed an alliance with the Qi Palace, and it was time to keep a low profile.She travels so high-profile, is she afraid that the Duke's mansion won't suffer enough envy?
Such limelight, such ostentation!She, the concubine of the world, has never been so beautiful before. She is just going out to be a guest. Who will she show such a posture?
Although Lu Shi didn't want to admit it, he was very jealous.

……

As Xu Wanzhen got into the carriage, there were a few inconspicuous ripples in the flow of people outside the Duke's mansion, and then calmed down.

The two hidden guards who stopped behind scanned the crowd vigilantly and looked away after finding nothing unusual.

Gepao was sitting in an ordinary restaurant two miles away, a man opened the door and came in, reporting in a low voice.

After hearing the news, he picked up his wine glass and said, "Sit down and eat the food and drink before leaving." He waited for the news here, the food and wine had already been served, if there is no need to raise doubts.

He had no doubts about Xiaoqiwei's ability to find traces and shadows.When doing things in Beijing, one should be more cautious and not leave any clues.

The man sat opposite respectfully, and began to eat the food and wine quietly.

The man in Gepao drank the wine slowly, Xu Wanzhen just went to the Pingguo Duke's Mansion in a square, there were nine male and female guards together.This is only visible, and I don't know how many guards are hiding in the dark.

It seems that as long as Wu Zhengxiang is in Beijing, he will have no chance.

Fortunately, the day when he leaves Beijing is getting closer.He had to think of a way to get him to go to the south of the Yangtze River with more people.

At the very least, the Hefeng Hao, which is closely related to the Xu family, cannot stay in Beijing.He had only seen Qian Feng a few times from a distance, and he was quite afraid.

The master doesn't have many people, and everyone is very precious, so don't move if you can.Why not report it to Wang Miaoyan and let her arrange it.

That woman is also a ruthless character.

After the man on the opposite side finished his meal, Ge Paoren also made up his mind.

……

In Pingguo Duke's mansion, Liu Qiran protected Tu Manzhen nervously, and said with a bitter face: "Oh, my little ancestor! Can you just lie on the bed quietly?"

"If you want to eat, I'll send someone to buy it right away. If you want to listen to the story, I'll let the lady tell you? Don't you like the lady? Then I'll read it to you..."

Tu Manzhen sat on Luohan's bed with a puffy face, glared at him and said, "No, no! I just want to go out for a walk, don't block me."

"The imperial doctor said that it's only been two months, and the fetal image has not been seated yet and needs to be rested. A few days ago, I ran around all day because of your eldest sister. I don't know. If I know, I still think about our baby. Okay?" Liu Qiran spoke earnestly for a while.

"My own body knows that it's fine, so you don't need to worry about it." To be honest, Tu Manzhen's complexion was ruddy and shiny, unlike other pregnant women who vomited badly, and her appetite was much better than before pregnancy.

She pouted her pink lips and said, "Cousin Wanzhen invited me to the chrysanthemum banquet, but I refused, so I just walked around the yard, no matter what."

Liu Qiran scratched his head, and said with a shy face, "There is still one month, just one month. Then I will accompany you to Zhuangzi to live for a while to relax."

Tu Manzhen's eyes shone brightly, and she said happily, "You said that, don't lie to me again."

She had never traveled far in her life.When I was a girl, I lived in the back house of the academy, and when I got married, I lived in the capital.For her who is lively and active and full of curiosity about things, she has long been full of longing for the outside world.

In fact, just as Liu Qiran said the words out of his mouth, he regretted it in his heart, and wished to give himself two big ears.

Even if she is three months pregnant, she is still safe in Beijing, and the staff and food that serve her must be more careful.Going to Zhuangzi is not as good as staying in the mansion.

However, seeing her joyful face, Liu Qiran's heart softened.Forget it, the big deal is to bring more people and transport all the food and supplies over there, so that she can live the same life in Zhuangzi as she did in Beijing.

Seeing him nodding, Tu Manzhen was filled with joy, thinking about who to bring over.

"Concubine Shizi, the Second Young Madam of Duke Zhong's Mansion has arrived." Shui Lan reported outside the door.

"What? Cousin Wanzhen is here?" Tu Manzhen's eyes burst out with joy. She was bored, and someone came to accompany her, full of joy.

Liu Qiran also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "I'll go and order my servants to prepare tea." Tu Manzhen and Xu Wanzhen are just cousins, as a man, it's better to avoid suspicion.

"No need, you can go to order." In order to take care of her, Liu Qiran didn't go to the Ministry of Rites for a few days.

Although he is an idler, but if he does not show up for a long time, others will always have some criticisms.Liu Qiran nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go right away. With your cousin by my side, I can rest assured."

Xu Wanzhen is as calm and intelligent as a man, and Liu Qiran speaks highly of her.Although there were some unhappiness before, as they became in-laws, those unhappiness disappeared long ago.

Caisi took off Xu Wanzhen's cloak at the door, Shui Lan bowed her knees and said: "I have seen the Second Young Madam, the Shizi Concubine is waiting for you inside."

Xu Wanzhen nodded, and sat in the warm pavilion outside for a while with a cup of tea to get rid of the coolness in her body before entering the door.

Sitting on Luohan's bed, Tu Manzhen waved to her happily, "Cousin Wanzhen, come here quickly."

Pulling her to sit beside her, Tu Manzhen asked excitedly, "Why did my cousin come here suddenly? I just happened to be bored and panicked."

Xu Wanzhen glanced at her abdomen, and asked with a smile: "You didn't come to post a post for you, so I had to come to see you. How is it? What's the inconvenience. Is there good news?"

Tu Manzhen was not ashamed, and admitted it openly.

"Little days haven't come for two months. My mother-in-law asked me about it. I was shocked. I invited the imperial physician to see her, and it really did."
