Sitting in the soft sedan chair, Tu Manfen looked out. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

I saw the twists and turns of the corridor along the way, the servants and women who came and went were divided and kept to themselves, and the pavilions and pavilions carved beams and painted buildings, and the weather was far stronger than that of the Marquis of Anping.

Tu Manfen pinched the handkerchief in her hand, pursed her lips vigorously, and secretly warned herself in her heart that when she saw Xu Wanzhen for a while, she must not show her timidity. This Zhongguo Mansion is good, but she is not the housewife. Although he is not the eldest son of the marriage, he is also a son-in-law, isn't he?

The second son of the Zhongguo Mansion is just a good name. Actually, it's just a concubine. I heard that I have been abused by the Duchess for many years, and I have only recently heard something.

When the soft sedan car arrived at the door of Zhiyuanju, Yinping helped Tu Manfen get off the sedan chair, Sang Zi led the way in front, and the group walked to the courtyard.

As far as you can see, there is a shadow wall painted with mountains and rivers crawling with rose vines. The verdant branches waving in the wind, lined with ink murals, are more vivid. On the right side there is a small pond with a pond of water lilies. The flowers only bloomed at the end of summer, but there were no dead branches and leaves, and it was a vibrant scene.

All this shows the leisurely self-satisfaction of the hostess, which makes Tu Manfen's heart sour. This has just entered the door, there is such a good view, Xu Wanzhen is really good in this mansion!

I only heard a brisk footsteps from far and near, Tu Manzhen's body was as flexible as an antelope, turned out from behind the shadow wall, looked at Tu Manfen and said with a smile: "When I heard that my sister was coming, I hurried out to greet her! No, it's a coincidence." ”

As she spoke, Tu Manzhen grabbed her arm and walked inside, saying as she walked: "Sister, you just entered the door, I don't know how big this yard is." I just went to the back and the lake was bigger than my yard!"

Tu Manfen smiled reluctantly: "Is it? ”

Tu Manzhen didn't understand the twists and turns in her heart, and said with a big grin: "Don't you want me to say, this name is really good." To live far away, it sounds very comfortable. My cousin said she took it, and my cousin-in-law agreed. Sister, you read a lot, what do you mean by this name?"

"Indifference has no clear ambition, and non-tranquility has no far-reaching. Tu Manfen said abruptly: "From the "Book of Commandments" written by Zhuge Liang to his son when he was fifty-four years old. ”

She followed Tu Manzhen all the way, with a wide field of vision in front of her, and every scene, stone, table and chair in her eyes had rules, ancient and calm, and full of natural wildness, which made people feel comfortable.

Look closely at the silent servant woman who walks quietly. Both young and old, they are all neatly tied, and the silver hairpins on the buns show the wealth and generosity of the main family. Their faces are stable, which is a look that can only appear when they have great confidence in their master.

Tu Manfen's heart moved, and she carefully looked at Sang Zilai, who was leading the way in front. She was dressed in a lotus-colored embroidered silk skirt with twig patterns, her blouse was a half-arm with a cloud-edged roll, and the bracelet on her wrist was better than the jade pendant she used on her body. The hair comb inserted next to the bun is made of white jade, and there are several pearls the size of rice grains on the side.

She gasped in her heart, although Sang Zi was Xu Wanzhen's confidant. But this all-over dress, if it is replaced with silver, it is enough for ordinary people to chew for a year!

Moreover, when she dressed up like this, she saw elegance but not luxury. A mere maid can have such a level, which can only show that her master is more clever.

Coupled with the name "Zhiyuanju", how could she come up with such a name without a big heart? This is still Xu Wanzhen's own master, which shows her husband's trust and favor for her.

What he has seen and heard since entering the door shocked Tu Manfen everywhere. At this time, she couldn't afford to compete with Xu Wanzhen.

The reason why people compare themselves to each other is between similar classes. For example, the contest between the maids, and the open and secret battles among the aunts. When the gap is too great, where can we afford to compete? I have never heard of a maid going to compete with the housewife.

Tu Manfen's mood at this time was to find that no matter in terms of identity, husband, money, or residence, Xu Wanzhen had far surpassed herself by more than a grade.

How can she care about this? If she really wants to be more serious, she will only appear to be more humble, and naturally there is no way to compare, and there is no way to be jealous.

Tu Manzhen didn't know that in just a few steps, Tu Manfen's mood had changed drastically.

She chattered to herself: "Liu Qiran said that he would come to pick me up tomorrow and go back to my home, so I won't go back! Sister, you don't know, our house is crowded, only my mother-in-law's yard is bigger, and there is a small lake to enjoy the shade. ”

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

"What's this?" Tu Manzhen said indifferently: "I call him that, otherwise what would I call him?"

Tu Manfen looked at her with a disapproving expression, and suddenly realized that this is only a woman who is favored by her husband has such a look.

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

Xu Wanzhen Yingying stood in the courtyard, looking at the two sisters who walked over, with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Although she has not lived in the Tu family for a long time, she is full of admiration for her great-grandfather, and she also has a good impression of the well-informed Li family.

The elders can only see each other during the New Year's holidays, in this case, the two sisters of the Tu family, who are married in Beijing, may wish to move around more, and they can also help one or two if they have spare energy.

"Cousin Manfen is down, and Manzhen can't wait. Xu Wanzhen greeted her, "I set up refreshments in the flower hall, why don't you sit down and rest first?"

Tu Manzhen didn't agree: "My sister has just arrived, what is there to rest? Why don't we go to the back to swim in the lake, I am just waiting for my sister to come to have a good time!"

Xu Wanzhen smiled and said, "You are naturally alive and kicking around, and you naturally have nothing to rest." Don't ask your eldest cousin, she can't be 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 slightly red, she exclaimed strangely: "Sister is happy, even Cousin Wanzhen knows, why don't you send anyone to tell me." ”

Tu Manfen nodded shyly and said busily: "You speak softly! My cousin here also sent silk flowers over yesterday, so I happened to know. ”

"Sister, congratulations, sister, I'm finally looking forward to it!" Tu Manzhen grinned, happy for Tu Manfen. As long as I have children, my sister won't be so aggrieved in her in-law's house!

Xu Wanzhen shook her head while listening, the two sisters were really thinking too simply.
