Red makeup against the world

Chapter 624 Simple

Sitting in the soft sedan, Tu Manfen looked out.

I saw winding corridors along the way, servants and women who came and went to keep their own place, pavilions, pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, the atmosphere in it is far stronger than that of Anping Houfu.

Tu Manfen pinched the handkerchief in her hand, pursed her lips vigorously, and secretly warned herself that she must not show timidity when she saw Xu Wanzhen.This Zhongguo Duke's Mansion is good, but she is not the head of the house.Although he is not the eldest son of the married couple, he is still the first son, isn't he?
The second son of the Zhongguo Duke's Mansion is just a good name.In fact, he is just a bastard.I heard that she was abused by the Duke's wife for several years, and only recently did she make any noise.

The sedan chair arrived at the gate of Zhiyuanju, Yinping helped Tu Manfen get off the sedan chair, Sangzi led the way, and the group walked towards the courtyard.

At the entrance of the eye is a screen wall painted with landscapes and covered with rose vines.The green branches are waving in the wind, and the ink murals are more lively.There is a small pond on the right with a pond of water lilies in it.The flowers bloomed in the late summer, but there were no broken branches and leaves, and there was a vibrant scene.

All of this showed the hostess's leisure and contentment, which made Tu Manfen's heart ache.Just entered the door, there is such a beautiful view, Xu Wanzhen is really living a wonderful life in this mansion!
There was only the sound of brisk footsteps approaching from far away, and Tu Manzhen's figure was as flexible as an antelope, she turned out from behind the screen wall, looked at Tu Manfen and said with a smile: "When I heard my sister was coming, I hurried out to meet her! , it was a coincidence."

As she said that, Tu Manzhen took her arm and walked in, and said as she walked, "Sister, you just entered the door. I don't know how big this yard is. I just went for a walk in the back, and the lake is bigger than my yard!"

Tu Manfen forced a smile and said, "Really? Cousin is doing really well."

How could Tu Manzhen understand the twists and turns in her heart, and said carelessly: "Isn't it? Let me tell you, this name is really good. Zhiyuanju, it sounds very comfortable. My cousin said she took it, and the cousin-in-law agreed. Sister, you read a lot, what does this name mean?"

"Indifference can't lead to aspirations, and nothing can lead to long-distance without tranquility." Tu Manfen said shyly, "It comes from the "Book of Commandments" written by Zhuge Liang to his son when he was 54 years old."

She followed Tu Manzhen all the way forward, with a wide field of vision in front of her eyes. Every scene, every stone, every table and chair has a well-organized structure. It is simple and calm, but also reveals natural wildness, which makes people feel at ease.

Take a closer look at the silent servant girl walking.No matter they are young or old, they all tidy up neatly, and the silver hairpins on their buns show the wealth and generosity of the master's family.Their faces are stable, that is the look that only appears when they have great confidence in their master.

Tu Manfen's heart skipped a beat, and he looked carefully at Sangzi who was leading the way ahead.She was wearing a lotus-colored satin skirt embroidered with twigs, her top was a half-arm rolled by the clouds, and the bracelet on her wrist was even better than the jade pendant she was wearing.The hair comb next to the bun is made of white jade, and there are a few pearls the size of rice grains on the side.

She gasped in her heart, even though Sangzi was Xu Wanzhen's confidant maid.But if this all-over attire were exchanged for silver, it would be enough for ordinary people to chew on for a year!

Moreover, when she dressed up like this, she was elegant but not extravagant.A mere maid can have such a level, it can only show that her master is even better.

Coupled with the name "Zhiyuanju", how can such a name be chosen without a big heart?This is Xu Wanzhen's own decision, which shows her husband's trust and love for her.

What she saw and heard since entering the door shocked Tu Manfen everywhere.By this time, she was no longer in the mood to compete with Xu Wanzhen.

The reason why people compare with each other is that they are of similar class.For example, the contest between the maids, the open and secret fight among the aunts.When the gap is too big, how can there be any desire to compete?It has never been heard that the maid actually wants to compete with the head mother.

Tu Manfen's mood at this time is that she found that Xu Wanzhen has far surpassed her in terms of status, husband, money, and residence.

How does this make her care about it?If you really want to be serious, you will only appear to be more humble. Naturally, there is no way to compare, and there is no way to hate.

Unbeknownst to Tu Manzhen, just a few short steps away, Tu Manfen's state of mind has changed drastically.

She chirped to herself: "Liu Qiran said that he would come to pick me up tomorrow, so I won't go back! This place is very good, the place is very spacious. Sister, you don't know, our house is crowded, only the mother-in-law's yard It’s bigger, and there’s a small lake where you can enjoy the shade.”

"Manzhen, how can you call your husband by his name directly." Tu Manfen taught her.

"What's the matter?" Tu Manzhen said nonchalantly, "That's what I call him, otherwise what would I call him?"

Tu Manfen looked at her indifferent face, and suddenly realized that only a woman who is doted on by her husband can have such an expression.

In the past, she was still worried that with her younger sister's temperament, she would not be able to adapt to the complicated backyard of the Pingguo Mansion.But in fact, when a woman has a husband who protects her, all this is not a problem.Right now, it seems that the one who can't adapt to the backyard life is himself.

Xu Wanzhen stood gracefully in the courtyard, looking at the two sisters walking slowly, with a smile on her lips.

Although she didn't live in Tu's house for a long time, she was full of Confucian admiration for her great-grandfather, and she also had a good impression of the well-educated Li family.

The elders can only see each other during the holidays. In this case, the two sisters of the Tu family, both married in Beijing, might as well walk around more by themselves, and help them if they have spare energy.

"Cousin Manfen is down, Manzhen can't wait any longer." Xu Wanzhen went up to meet her, "I set up refreshments in the flower hall, how about sitting down and resting?"

Tu Manzhen disagreed: "My sister just came here, what is there to rest for? Why don't we go to the lake at the back, I'm just waiting for my sister to come so we can play together!"

Xu Wanzhen smiled and said: "You are alive and kicking, of course there is nothing to rest. Don't ask the eldest cousin, she is too tired now."

"Really?" Tu Manzhen let go of Tu Manfen's arm in surprise, and looked her up and down.Seeing that her face was reddish, she yelled strangely: "Sister is happy? Even cousin Wanzhen knows about it, so why don't you send someone to tell me?"

Tu Manfen nodded shyly, and hurriedly said: "Speak softly! Husband has said it, and you can't say it before it's been three months. My cousin also sent silk flowers to her yesterday, so she just happened to know about it."

"My sister, congratulations to my sister, it's finally here!" Tu Manzhen giggled, happy for Tu Manfen.As long as she has a child, my sister won't be so aggrieved in her in-law's house!

Xu Wanzhen was listening and shook her head, the two sisters really thought too naively.
