Following Xu Wanzhen's gaze, Mama Zheng said: "The old man asked the two mothers-in-law, this lake and Meilin originally belonged to the back garden of the mansion, and it was only after the death of the second son's biological mother that they were enclosed in this courtyard.

She looked a little hesitant, hesitating whether she should say the next thing.

Xu Wanzhen asked, "What else does Mama know?" ”

"I heard from them that after Aunt Yun left, Madame took out all the furniture in her house, split it into waste materials, and burned it with all the relics she had used."

Xu Wanzhen gasped in her heart, knowing that Chen's behavior was crazy, she didn't expect that she wouldn't even let go of Aunt Yun's relics, she just didn't want to leave any traces of Aunt Yun's life in the mansion.

She seemed to see that the young Wu Zhengxiang grew up lonely in the house, and he couldn't even find the slightest trace of his biological mother, and he couldn't get any comfort or help.

Xu Wanzhen suddenly complained a little about Aunt Yun, since she couldn't protect herself and couldn't protect her son, why bother to give birth to him and suffer?

Mama Zheng continued: "Such a big move, naturally, it can't be hidden from the Duke of Zhongguo, and Madame didn't think about hiding it. Later, the two had a big quarrel, and Zhongguo Gong built a road wall, enclosed the lake and Merlin in the back garden into the courtyard, and expanded the house to achieve the current scale. ”

Xu Wanzhen listened and sighed in her heart.

At that time, Zhongguo Gong should pay the most attention to the young Wu Zhengxiang, not how big this courtyard is, and what happened to the furniture used by Aunt Yun? If Wu Zhengxiang hadn't been clever enough, he would have been unable to resist Chen's abuse and died.

Looking at the lake in front of her, Xu Wanzhen couldn't help but think of the past in this house, Zhongguogong's evasion back then caused the consequences of today's father and son, even if he had the heart to make up for it, but it was too late. If it weren't for the mysterious young man who wanted to understand the cause and effect, Wu Zhengxiang would definitely become the terrifying dark lord in this time and space.

However, everything is in time, and the mysterious young man said that the future has completely changed, and what kind of trajectory will be produced depends on the efforts of everyone.

No longer thinking about this in her heart, Xu Wanzhen walked back, took a cursory look at the courtyard, and found a lot of problems.

This courtyard has obviously been uninhabited for many years and has been abandoned for a long time. Even if it is cleaned cleanly on the surface, it can't hide the traces left by those years.

The tenacious weeds growing in the cracks of the bluestone slabs in the courtyard, the dead leaves floating in the lake, the dust hidden in the depths of the hollowed-out carvings of the verandah, the empty courtyard with only two large cypress trees, and the empty houses all tell this point.

While walking back, Xu Wanzhen thought about it, it would not take a day and a half to clean up this yard, but fortunately, she now has time.

"Call all the roommates to me." Xu Wanzhen commanded.

After returning to the room, the ear room next to it came out for the time being to use the flower hall, and the four accompanying rooms all stood over and listened to the instructions.

Xu Wanzhen was pleasantly surprised to find that the Yu Xuemin family and Feng Xing's family, which she was familiar with, accompanied her, and there were two other families she didn't know, thinking that they were newly bought by the Xu family later.

With Yu Xuemin's family, there is no need to worry about driving and embroidering, Yu Xuemin has been driving the carriage for many years, and it is extremely safe. Yu Xuemin's daughter-in-law learned from the old embroidery lady of the Splendid Workshop in Suzhou, and her embroidery skills were only a little worse than Xu Wanzhen.

Feng Xing doesn't have any outstanding skills, but she is loyal, and she can do errands outside, she has so many Zhuangzi and shops, even if she wants to be managed by her eldest brother, she needs to be sent by manpower. Feng Xing's daughter-in-law has good cooking skills, and Xu Wanzhen likes to eat the dishes she cooks when she is in her mother's house. No wonder today's food doesn't feel unfamiliar, it turns out to be from her craft.

When they saw Xu Wanzhen, they knelt down with a "plop", and Feng Xing's daughter-in-law had tears in her eyes. When she was still living in Tu's Qingzhuyuan, it was Xu Wanzhen who asked her to let go of her hands and feet, and she became handy with kitchen matters later.

Mama Zheng introduced the other two: "This is Liu Jie and Liu Jie's daughter-in-law, Huang Manming and his daughter-in-law." ”

The four of them saluted together: "I've seen the second young lady." ”

When the Xu family chose a room for Xu Wanzhen, there were many people who were willing to come with her, after all, she was married into the Zhongguo Mansion, and she had a good reputation in the Xu family and the people, and brought people to be kind. Among these people, Mrs. Xu chose these four families for her, loyalty is the first priority, and they all have their own skills.

Liu Jie is a middle-aged man who is honest, and he took a step forward: "The little one was born in a peasant family, and he knows a little bit about farming. My daughter-in-law follows me and knows a little about crops. ”

Huang Manming said: "The small ones are rough and have some fists and feet, and the mother-in-law also has a lot of strength." ”

Xu Wanzhen nodded slightly, seeing that Huang Manming's daughter-in-law was a little familiar, it turned out to be one of the two mothers-in-law guarding the courtyard gate.

"Here are the heads of several families, they still have family members to follow, and they also have children under their knees, all of them add up to twenty or thirty people, so they didn't all call over to see the second young lady." Mama Zheng said. Every family has old and young, and the Xu family naturally can't do such a thing as dismantling the flesh and blood, so they all accompany it.

"Since you have followed me, you can do things in peace. No matter what else, as long as you are loyal and restrain your family, I will not let you work hard in vain, and you can retire with peace of mind when you are old. Xu Wanzhen said slowly, she didn't know about the other two families, so let's put the words here first, and then look at them slowly.

Several people looked at each other, looking excited. What she said hit their lifeline. The deed is held in the hands of the master's family, and the thing they are most afraid of and worried about is that they are too old to contribute, and their children and grandchildren will be swept away or sent to do some rough work to barely make ends meet.

They have seen many of these things, and as servants of the world, their fate is in the hands of the master's family. Even if it seems to be a decent family, the fall is just a word from the main family. Xu Wanzhen's commitment to provide for them is very important to them.

Several people knelt on the ground in unison: "Please rest assured, the little ones will do their best." ”

After the families retreated, Mama Zheng told her about the placement of these families now, Xu Wanzhen said: "Since there is a small kitchen in the courtyard, Feng Xing's daughter-in-law is still in charge of the kitchen. Feng Xing ran errands outside the second gate, and then matched him with a clever little guy. Yu Xuemin is still in charge of catching the car, did I accompany the carriage I used to use? ”

"It's not the original one, the eldest young master remade one for the second young lady, which is more spacious and comfortable than the original." Mama Zheng said.

Speaking of the carriage, Xu Wanzhen remembered something, "The stables are in the outer courtyard?" "She didn't see the porch.

"Yes, the old man went to see it yesterday, the horse corridor is very large, and there are several thoroughbred horses, presumably for the masters to travel. There were five or six variegated horses, which were supposed to be used to pull carts. ”
