In a corner of Xiyang City, in the Xiyang County Mansion, Zhang Dingfa, the head of the guards in the front yard, is leading a group of subordinates to point at a wooden model around the bookcase, which is the model of the completed Xiyang County Mansion, and the shape is exquisite as the real one.

"If someone attacks the main gate, the guards on duty everywhere must not leave their posts easily, lest the other party move away from the mountain, and there is no need to support unless the gong sounds." Zhang Dingfa pointed to a small building in the model and said that this mansion was rebuilt after listening to his opinion and adding some defense facilities.

For example, this watchtower, set up several places can be seen on all the roofs of the mansion, if any snitch dares to fly the eaves at night, the wall can not avoid the sight of the guards, the height and distance of the watchtower are also exquisite, so that people can not see the situation in the backyard, so as not to have unscrupulous people peeping at the women.

"All the security points in the house must be in code, everyone memorize them well these days, and in a few days \ I will take the school exam." After Zhang Dingfa finished speaking, he added: "All paths must be memorized, including the two different day and night, and they will also be tested together!" ”

The Xiyang County Mansion is roughly a 'hui' shaped structure, and the passages between the courtyards during this period are somewhat winding, and the doors in some places are closed or opened at night, so the roads that can be walked during the day and at night are very different.

This strange layout design was first proposed by Gongyu Wenwen of Xiyang County, it is said to be inspired by the 'tower defense', Zhang \ Dingfa does not know what 'tower defense' is, but still put forward suggestions for improvement, Yang Ji is responsible for the design, in order to avoid unnecessary waste, this is said to be in Chang'an to supervise the construction of many noble mansions Mr. Yang is spent a few nights to come up with the plan.

"Chief, I remember the way, but the ordinary servants in the house may not remember it, so what if I get lost." A guard asked. It's a bit of a headache. They worked hard to carry it for a few days, and they were sure to remember it, for fear that a servant would get lost and come to someone for help.

"That's what Steward Li is responsible for. The maid in the inner courtyard has Liu Shopkeeper urging her to be punished if she can't remember it in a few days. Zhang Dingfa looked at a group of guards and said, his wife Liu Caiyun is now pregnant, so the county prince is exempt from going out to run around, and he is in charge of affairs in the house, including managing the maids.

"Do you remember what I said?"

"Remember!" Everyone replied, each of them nodded like a chicken pecking rice, Zhang Dingfa smiled slightly and pointed to one of them and said, "Liu Lao Wu, you repeat what I just said!" ”

The person he pointed at touched his head and smiled a little embarrassedly, and then retold what Zhang Dingfa had just said under the gaze of everyone, although there were some omissions, but it was generally complete.

"Very well, everybody has to be mindful, and. In a few days, the fifteenth leader, Brother Zhang and Brother Wu will compete with us, you can draw lots to determine the candidates, and choose nine people! ”

"Again!" Everyone was bitter when they heard the words, that Yuwen Fifteen and Zhang Yu fought like mad dogs, it is said that the newcomer Wu Ming is not good at leg and foot kung fu, but he is also a ruthless character, and I don't know if everyone will have a blue nose and swollen face again in this competition.

"Again? What are you nine afraid of beating the three of them! Fu Youcai shouted on the side, Zhang Dingfa coughed dryly when he heard this, and said Yuwen Fifteen designated you to participate, and the others all looked at him with sympathy when they heard this.

In another place, the housekeeper Li Sanjiu is directing people to be busy, it has been a few days since he moved here from Anlu, but there are still many things to do, this mansion is renovated according to the design of Lord Lang and Mr. Yang, and there are some follow-up finishes that have not been completed.

The bamboo forest outside the study has only been planted for a few months, and there are dead ones to deal with. There are fish stocked in the fish pond in the garden, and some of the belly fish have to be fished up, and the path in the house is turned around, causing many servants to be unfamiliar with it, so they are afraid of getting lost from time to time.

"Steward Li. I can't find where the kitchen is! A maid said with a bitter face, Cuiyun beside the housewife asked her to go to the back kitchen to urge the pastries, but she couldn't find the way when she walked around.

"You, go straight from here, then turn left, then turn right at the intersection of the second cloister, and then," Li Sanjiu said, feeling that his tongue was about to twist, and seeing that the other party was about to cry, he sighed and asked his entourage to take her.

Seeing the two of them leaving, he wanted to cry without tears, Lord Lang made such a complicated road, saying that it was to prevent thieves, but as a result, his own people were confused, in order to avoid this situation, the house also made a plane model for the servants to review the route, just moved here for a few days, many people walked and walked and got lost.

"Steward Li!" Another maid hurriedly ran over, Li Sanjiu asked what was wrong, and the other party said that the little girl took the maid to the back garden, but she didn't know where to go while walking, she followed behind, lost it, and didn't find it for a long time.

"I'll send someone to find it right away!" Li Sanjiu was so anxious that he could only arrange for someone to find Yuwen Eying, although the design of this house is a little weird, but the inside and outside are separated, and the backyard where the ladies live has to go out in a few places, and there are healthy women guarding them, so the only thing that is gratifying is that the little girl can't sneak into the outer courtyard.

In the backyard, Yu Chi Chifan was holding his son to breastfeed, the little guy was born and tossed so much that she wanted to live or die, and now she is also very hard to eat milk, looking at this son who looks quite similar to her husband, her whole body is full of happiness.

"Mastermother, if the slave and maid don't urge her again, she may get lost" Cuiyun said on the side, everything in this new mansion is too winding, and she is not sure to go by herself, for fear of getting lost.

"It's okay, I don't feel hungry." Yu Chi Chi Fan saw that his son was full of food and drink and fell asleep, and then handed it over to the nurse next to him, and the husband was afraid that his son would not eat enough so he hired a nurse to move over together, and now it is two people who are serving the little guy together.

She sorted out her clothes and walked outside, Yang Lihua was sitting on the couch looking through the accounts, and after seeing her come out, Yang Lihua put away the book and got up to usher: "Sister, this is last month's accounts." ”

"Where can I still see that the Thorn Lang has a headache all day long." Wei Chi Chi sighed, the little guy tossed all day long, making her and the nurse helpless.

"It's good to stay older, and Brother Magpie was like this for the first month or two." Yang Lihua persuaded in the tone of a person who came over, and now she is in charge of the money and food in the house, so she is afraid that something will go wrong, and she will report to Wei Chi Chifan every month.

"Okay, let's let me see it when I'm free" Wei Chi Chi waved her hand straightly, and now she had a headache when she saw the accounts, and at this moment, she thought of Yuwen Eying's laughter outside, and saw two figures, one big and one small, running in.

"Mother, Mother!" Yuwen Eying crashed into Yang Lihua's arms, and the panting Xiao Jiuniang followed her in, and before Yang Lihua could ask what was going on, Yuwen Eying crackled and said:

"Auntie! I hid and couldn't find anyone! Steward Li can't find it! "I almost showed them just now, but luckily I was fast!" "Aunt Xiao is coming to my mother's place, but she got lost, I brought her here!"

The three big and one small were talking, Steward Li walked in sweating, he saw Yuwen Eying first breathed a sigh of relief, and then saluted and said that Lord Lang had just sent someone back to inform him that he would not eat in the mansion tonight.

"Will the county lord come back tonight?" Wei Chi Chifan asked, there is also a mansion behind the assassin official mansion, which is for the assassin history and the officials who have been in office, and now the husband is the new official who thinks that there are many official duties to be busy, so she has this question, most of the state officials in this era live in the official office with their families, and it is not that there are others who buy houses like their own families, but it is too much waste of money.

"Lord Lang is in the official office tonight, along with Yang Sima and Xu Beijia, so they won't come back, Lord Lang asks Mrs. and the two side ladies to have a good rest" (to be continued.) )
