The rear mansion of the Central Army Governor's Office became a little different from before.

At the beginning, Zhou Shixian had no idea when facing such a big place except to be amazed. When he was exhausted, he simply gave up his can and gave it to Gu Shiba and others, and made a fool of himself in the military camp.

After Hongye came, the situation gradually became a little different. First, Gu Shiba handed over the keys of the inner courtyard to Hongye according to the instructions of the prince-consort. Once Hongye was in power, he took the order and first set up two adjacent rooms in the west wing room, one as a vault and the other as a silver trunk. He also directed her eighteenth brothers and a few to clean and set up a study room for Zhou Shixian.

"What's the use of this?" Gu Shiba asked, protruding his head outside the study.

"For your husband and wife, you may meet guests or special guests," Hongye knew that these rough people didn't understand this, and said with a smile, "It's good to read when you don't see guests. I see him, it seems that he has read a lot of books."

Gu Shiba looked at the entire wall of the classics, history, and literature in the study in awe. They followed Hongye's instructions and asked the owners of several bookstores outside to issue orders and then delivered them to the mansion according to the orders.

He thought to himself that when he was working as a job with the Prince Consort in the Jinyiwei, the Prince Consort seemed not to study much. Later, one day, he somehow learned a lot of knowledge. Now he even has a study, and he is really a god.

This has not been completed. As the Governor's Office officially opened the yamen to handle official business, and as the scale of the soldiers in the palace grew larger and larger, Zhou Shixian's personal soldiers also expanded to thirty people. Hongye picked a mature man from it and used it as a guide, and found her a distant cousin.

"My surname is Mei, I called her Mei Zi, who is very good and capable." She muttered to Zhou Shixian, "I married to Nanjing in my early years, but my life was not good. I became a widow in my thirties and had no children. I asked her to help me and set up the kitchen in the side yard."

Zhou Shixian didn't understand these things and didn't like to care about them, so he could do anything and let the red leaves do it.

I didn't feel anything different in the first two days. When I was having dinner on the third day, I suddenly realized that the dishes had changed, which was completely different from what I brought to the big kitchen.

The taste is amazing.

In this way, Hongye occupied the left courtyard, and then a maid appeared naturally.

Then, she and Gu Shiba discussed how the personal soldiers should be assigned to their guard positions, how to take shifts, where to live, how to eat, and when there is something to do, they all discussed the rules from the outside to the inside. In addition to military pay, the Red Leaf Girl will also give a little extra money every month, which is a reward for the personal soldiers.

Zhou Shixian felt that life had improved, the order of the back mansion became orderly, and the soldiers under his command were all pulled over by Hongye one by one.

He was confused at first, thinking that where did this girl get such great skills? Then he suddenly realized that Hongye was the eldest lady of Xiujiazhuang and the young owner. During the three years when her father was sick, she relied on her, a little girl to support the huge Xiujiazhuang and a huge water business.

No wonder Zhou Shixian shook his head and thought, no wonder she could turn those big-headed soldiers around.

That group of killers is now saying "Miss Xiu said she wanted to do this" and "Miss Xiu said she wanted to do that". In the long run, my back mansion will probably become a branch of the Nanjing branch of Xiujiazhuang, Cangzhou.

But then again, it was the first time he had the feeling of "his own nest".

Hongye didn't know that Zhou Shixian had so much thoughts in her heart. She had just walked into the yard to see the sun. It was already afternoon. Calculate the time. Zhou Shixian should be back soon. Suddenly, he heard footsteps, and Gu Shiba walked into the yard first.

"Miss Xiu, if there are distinguished guests, the mansion needs martial law. No one is allowed to move around in the yard. We have already sealed the side yard." Gu Shiba said apologetically, "This is the military order of the prince-consort. We have also put a warning in the back of Zong Laoye Lane."

Hongye was shocked and also felt curious. I wonder what kind of guest was going to be so grand?

"Can't even walk around?" she asked.

"Of course, Miss Xiu is not listed here. The prince-in-law said that most of the guests, Miss Xiu, would recognize this guest."

She knew it soon.

Two sedan chairs were carried in from the back corner of the mansion, and kept in the inner courtyard, and placed them in front of the main hall.

A man and a woman came down from the sedan chair. The man was in his twenties and was majestic. The woman was a middle-aged woman with agile steps but her expression looked quite haggard.

The woman saw Hongye first and gave a sluggish greeting. Hongye returned the greeting, and then met the man, both stunned.

"Mr. Zhang...Zhang Huangyan!"

Hongye recognized him. He was on the official road next to Hongze Lake, leading troops to a convoy, setting up a fence to block the Ma Huabao Cavalry's recruit, and later he was appointed as an official and followed Mr. Li to Huai'an to take office.

But now he is not wearing official uniforms, he is wearing a casual robe.

Zhang Huangyan also recognized Hongye. This was the girl in red who rode on the horse that day, holding a long knife in her hand, and following the prince-consort Zhou Shixian.

Originally, it was just a glance, but later I heard that it was this little girl who looked timid and split Lu Zhenfei's Biaoying Ginseng General in two with one knife on Huaian Road, and the impression left was naturally profound.

Zhang Huangyan was not very clear about why this girl appeared in the mansion of the prince-consort. From outside Nanjing, he got into a sedan chair and was escorted by the men sent by the prince-consort all the way. Until now, no one knew about it, but the prince-consort did not avoid this girl, which shows that he naturally trusted her.

But if she is the concubine of the prince consort, she will definitely not be able to do so. The prince consort is not as good as Princess Shang, how could she get a concubine first?

Seeing this, Gu Shiba hurriedly stepped forward and introduced: "This is Miss Xiu, our son-in-law...a good friend."

Hongye was not very satisfied with this introduction, but she really couldn't find a better explanation. As the master, she sent Zhang Huangyan and the middle-aged woman into the main hall and poured tea for them herself.

"The prince-in-law is at the military parade in the school camp, and it's time to come back in a blink of an eye," Hongye said gently, "Mr. Zhang and this sister, please sit down."

Zhang Huangyan only felt that this girl Xiu was extremely stylish, and was secretly surprised in her heart. She nodded and thanked her, but did not introduce the woman.

Not long after, I heard the sound of saluting the outer courtyard and inner courtyard. Following the sound of my boots, Zhou Shixian walked through the courtyard gate and walked in with great strides.

Zhang Huangyan quickly got up, went out of the hall to greet him, and bowed deeply with his fists.

"Huang Yan meets the prince consort!"

"You're welcome!" Zhou Shixian gave a tribute and looked at the woman behind him.

The woman stepped forward and fell to her knees with a plop.

"I am Liu Wang, I will pay homage to my husband!"

"Are you the wife of Liu Konghe, deputy general of Shandong?"

"yes!"

"Are you okay with your husband?"

"He was trapped in Liu Zeqing's dungeon, begging the prince-consort to help him!"
