Red makeup against the world

Chapter 188

Tu Manzhen glanced at the shy Tu Manfen, her future mother-in-law Liu, sister-in-law Cheng Huixin, husband-in-law Cheng Jinghao, and uncle Cheng Jingtong. Cheng Huixin was talking with her head tilted, and they all smiled.

This family got along well, and when she was awakened by Wang Miaoyan, she immediately felt a little uncomfortable. It turned out that she was a superfluous person here.

Tu Manzhen grew up being held in the palm of her hand, how arrogant, how can she accept this situation?Immediately stood up, bowed to everyone, and said with a crisp smile: "Mrs. Liu, we three little sisters want to take a break in the garden, so we will take our leave first."

"Manzhen!" Tu Manfen raised her head and called out, ignoring her shyness.When she was about to leave the house, Mrs. Li urged her to keep an eye on her younger sister. How could she let Tu Manzhen act alone?
Xu Wanzhen didn't want to cause extra trouble, and it was very safe to follow the Anping Hou's family.But Tu Manzhen had already spoken, so she couldn't express her objection.

Wang Miaoyan said softly: "Miss Tu, don't worry, we can just wander around in the garden. This is the Princess' Mansion, so please be safe."

Mrs. Liu also wanted to say some personal words to Tu Manfen, but with the three of them around, it was difficult to say many things.Although Madam Tu had asked her to take care of the two sisters, Miss Wang also said that this is the Princess Mansion, what could happen?Then he laughed and said, "It's really boring to let you three little girls accompany me, an old woman. It's good to go for a walk."

Wang Miaoyan said with a smile: "Madam Liu and Miss Tu are like two sisters together, how could they be old ladies?"

Everyone loves to hear good things. Madam Liu smiled when she said a word, and said: "This little girl from the Wang family can talk. You go, take it easy."

Xu Wan really had no choice but to follow Wang Miaoyan and Tu Manzhen, bid farewell to everyone, and left the pavilion with their respective maids following behind.

Hong'er, the maid of the Princess Mansion, led the way and asked, "Where do you ladies want to go?"

Xu Wanzhen didn't want to go anywhere, but Wang Miaoyan said excitedly: "I heard Wang Hao said that there is a huge lake in the mansion? Is there a painting boat?"

Tu Manzhen's eyes lit up, and she asked, "Huafang?"

Hong'er hesitated for a moment, she didn't intend to take them to this place, Princess Zhaoyang was swimming in the lake with King Qi, King Chu and their concubines at the moment.But he swallowed the words again, thinking of Bai Shao's order that any guest at the "Peony Flower Party" should try his best to greet them well, and they can go shopping in the Princess Mansion as much as possible.

He bent his knees and said, "If you go back to Miss Wang, there is indeed a boat. It's just that King Qi and King Chu have already gone first."

Xu Wanzhen didn't want to go swimming in the lake at first, so she hurriedly said, "If so, it's not convenient to go. How about we take a walk nearby?"

"I don't know how many painting boats there are? You can also use small boats." Wang Miaoyan asked: "I heard that the lake is very big, I think it will not affect the interest of the princes."

Tu Manzhen looked at Hong'er expectantly, and said, "Let's go around the lake and come back if there is no boat." She couldn't compare to Xu Wanzhen, who grew up in the south of the Yangtze River and was used to the scenery of water towns, so she didn't care about the lake ?She was very interested in the huge lake that Wang Miaoyan was talking about.

Hong'er said: "There are two painting boats, and there are also small boats. In that case, please three young ladies follow me." After saying that, she led the way ahead.

Because Wang Miaoyan suggested a good place, Tu Manzhen became close to her immediately.Holding her arm, he asked, "Is sister Wang familiar with the Princess Mansion?"

Wang Miaoyan said with a smile: "How can I be familiar with it? It's my first time to visit the Princess Mansion. It's just that I'm currently living in the Prince Chu Mansion. The Princess treats me very well and often tells me about some people in the capital. The Princess is most familiar with this place. The Princess Mansion is here, after all, it is the sister of the King of Chu, and there are many trees in it, which were brought back from various places by the King of Chu and planted in the Princess Mansion."

When did Tu Manzhen hear these royal gossips?The Tu family's daily social circle is mostly civil servants' wives and daughters.What she saw and heard in the princess mansion made her yearn for the life of the prince and princess, so she chatted with Wang Miaoyan very enthusiastically.

Caisi supported Xu Wanzhen to walk at the end, silently listening to the lively chat between the two people in front.If she had to choose, she would rather be with Tu Manfen, with the whole family of the Marquis of Anping.

But Tu Manzhen is gone, she has nothing to do with the Anping Hou Mansion, and she is far from familiar with Cheng Huixin, so why is there any reason to stay?

Hong'er led a few people out of the peony garden, and walked along a cobblestone path towards the lake.

Just after turning around a clump of dense and green Xiangfei bamboo, two heroic men with long entourage came to meet them, they were Wu Sheng and Wu Zhengxiang.Right now, he was on the path, there was no way to avoid it, Hong'er had no choice but to go up to her, bowed her knees and saluted, "I have met the son of Duke Zhong, Captain Wu."

Xu Wanzhen was walking casually, but suddenly a very familiar figure appeared in front of her eyes, she couldn't help shaking her body, and looked at Wu Zhengxiang.

Seriously, this was the first time seeing him in real life during the day.At night, he was as lonely as a falcon, exuding an elegant and mysterious atmosphere.But under the sun, he was still shrouded in the breath of night, as if the bright sunlight couldn't reach his side.In the depths of the black eyes, there is a kind of vicissitudes that do not match the age, it is a kind of indifference that sees through life and death.

Xu Wanzhen's heart seemed to be pulled, and she felt heartbroken for him.

But only for a moment, Wu Zhengxiang saw her, and his whole body became brighter.A cheerful smile rose from the corner of his mouth, dispelling the darkness around him.

Wu Sheng asked Hong'er to get up, and was about to ask a question, when he felt Wu Zhengxiang's change, followed his line of sight, and saw an elegantly dressed woman standing there quietly, with a trace of pity in her eyes.

As the commander of the Northern Army, he has amazing eyesight, and he recognized the woman who made a poem in seven steps in "Shu Yuxuan" with just one glance.Nodding secretly in his heart, Yizhi's vision is really good.

Even though they met by chance, they still have to be cautious about men and women. Hong'er took the initiative to introduce her, "This is Miss Tu Er, Miss Wang, and Miss Xu."

In Tu Manzhen's world, all men are gentle and full of elegance.When he saw such a mighty man as Wu Sheng, his heart skipped a beat, and he took half a step back in fright.

Introduced by Hong'er, the two parties greeted each other, Wu Sheng and Wu Zhengxiang avoided to the side of the road and let them pass first.

Under the coercion exuded by Wu Sheng, Tu Manzhen didn't dare to say a word, and took Wang Miaoyan's hand and walked quickly.

Xu Wanzhen walked slowly at the end, quietly looked at Wu Zhengxiang with a pair of wonderful eyes, it turned out that he was a child of the Zhongguo Duke's mansion, but what exactly did he go through?Why do you always meet him in such a dangerous situation?Madam Zheng talked about Duke Zhong's family affairs, but she didn't go into details, so I went back and asked her to explain it more carefully.

When the two passed by, Wu Zhengxiang could no longer hold back his emotion when he smelled the familiar cold fragrance, he reached out his hand very quickly, shook her left hand hanging by her side, and let it go very quickly.
