Chapter 613 One family goes out!
Mu Xin Nuan and Madam Liu reached a consensus. Next, they would discuss the matter of guards with Duanmu Chu Ze.
Since last year, Duanmu Chuze has been selecting female guards from various places and then bringing them together for various training programs, with the aim of enabling them to better fulfill their duties as female guards.
Of course, Duanmu Chuze selected some of the more outstanding individuals from among these people and trained them separately.
Duanmu Chuze didn't tell Mu Xinnuan about the individual training.
Actually, his thinking was very simple. Since the girls' school needed female nurses from Dali, it would be perfect if the princess could be accompanied by female guards when she went out in the future.
"Anuan, the location for the girls' school has been chosen, but you still need to take a look at the decoration and other construction. I did it according to your previous instructions, but whether it suits your taste or not, it has to pass your approval first."
Duanmu Chuze took Xiao Zonghua from her arms and said, "Go change your clothes. The three of us can go out for a walk. Xiao Zonghua has never been outside before."
As he spoke, Duanmu Chuze gave him a very affectionate kiss on the little face.
Rongyue accompanied Muxin Nuan to the inner room to change clothes, while Aunt Fang had someone quickly prepare some things that the young master might need.
Since it was the young master's first time going out, he brought everything he could, whether useful or not, just in case he needed it and ran out, causing his master some worry.
The group headed west of the city in a grand procession.
Rong Yue, Mu Hua, and the others naturally had to follow, which made the scene quite large.
Since becoming pregnant last year, Mu Xin Nuan has rarely gone out. Now that her child is almost four months old, she can count the number of times she has gone out on one hand.
"Yanzhou is indeed many times more lively than when I left last year. Aze, you are really amazing."
"You deserve credit for this as well. If you hadn't always helped me out, I wouldn't be able to govern Yanzhou so well. The security in Yanzhou is quite good. Ah Nuan, you can go out for a walk whenever you have free time."
"it is good."
After lowering the small curtain, Mu Xin Nuan glanced at Xiao Zong Hua, who was being held in Duanmu Chu Ze's arms, and reached out to tap his slightly chubby little face.
"How can he eat and sleep so much? I wonder if he'll grow up to be a big lazybones?"
Duanmu Chuze smiled faintly, "How could that be? He's a child now, so naturally all he does is eat and sleep. That's good too; children like that grow up quickly and are also quite smart."
Mu Xin Nuan glared at him reproachfully, but didn't say anything. However, the smile on her lips shone with a dazzling brilliance.
Duanmu Chuze stared blankly for a moment, then raised an eyebrow slightly. His Anuan was indeed extremely alluring at any time.
“Aze, we chose the west side of the city for the girls’ school. It’s quieter here than the east side, not as lively as the east side.” Mu Xin Nuan noticed that the further west the carriage went, the quieter the noise outside became, which meant that the west side of the city was not as prosperous as the east side.
"Yes. The west side of the city is indeed not as lively as the east side. However, the east side is mostly made up of workshops. Some of them rent shops in the east and then process and produce the goods in the west, which reduces their costs. This is because the rent is cheaper in the west, and moreover, the west side is mostly made up of ordinary people's houses."
Mu Xin Nuan nodded; this was indeed a cost-saving method.
"Aze, have you looked around the girls' school? Is there any disreputable business there?"
When Duanmu Chuze saw Mu Xin Nuan frown slightly, he knew what she was thinking.
"Don't worry, there are only residential areas around here. Also, if you're still worried, I can issue another prohibition. Just like in Xingwen District, brothels are not allowed. So, within a few miles of the girls' school, no indecent businesses are allowed either."
"That's good. We can't let the girls' school be tainted by filth."
Upon arriving at the destination, Duanmu Chuze carried the child downstairs first, then used one hand to help Mu Xinnuan down as well.
"This place is nice. What's that tallest building you see here?" Mu Xin Nuan looked up as soon as she entered the main gate and then asked.
"Oh, that's the girls' school's library, but you can't go up to the third floor. It's just for decoration."
Mu Xin Nuan nodded, "That's good. If we can really go up to the third floor, then wouldn't we be able to be clearly seen by the people outside just by standing on the corridor? That's not good, not good."
Duanmu Chuze knew what she was worried about, and just smiled faintly, "Let's go, I'll show you the kitchen, the school, and the teachers' resting place inside."
After walking around, Mu Xin Nuan had no complaints. The only thing she felt was lacking was that the girls' school should have a passageway.
"Why did you set up a passageway here?" Duanmu Chuze asked, puzzled, especially since the passageway was oriented east-west.
"That's the school over there. And isn't this where the students rest? Let's set up a passageway here, and have some tables and chairs set up. In their spare time, they can play the zither or play chess. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Duanmu Chuze raised an eyebrow. "You mean to widen the corridor here a little, and then add doors and windows?"
"Yes, it won't be too much trouble. What do you think?"
"Alright, I'll do as you say."
Mu Xin Nuan looked at the dining area again. It was not bad. Although the tables and chairs were not completely new, they were not bad either.
"Aze, does this school have a storeroom?"
"Yes, it's at the very back. Shall we go take a look?"
Mu Xin Nuan glanced at Xiao Zong Hua and saw that his eyelids were drooping again. The child had been following them around for more than half an hour. Children are young, so it's inevitable that they would be a little tired.
"Never mind, how big is that warehouse?"
"Yes, it's about the size of two schoolhouses. It's separated in the middle. Also, I've had more than ten large water vats placed outside, so you can rest assured about that."
"That's good. Actually, there aren't many things to put in the girls' school. Since they'll be learning embroidery and other crafts, they'll need something to use. I'm thinking of moving these things from our Prince's mansion's storeroom first. Anyway, I'm the only proper master in the Prince's mansion's backyard, so we won't use too much."
"Okay, as you say."
Mu Xin Nuan smiled and said, "This time, Her Majesty the Empress sent over a lot of silk. I'll pick some to look at. Things bestowed by Her Majesty cannot be moved here, otherwise, it might give us something to hold accountable."
"Oh, right, now that you mention it, I do remember. That Lady Fengyi didn't deliberately make things difficult for you, did she?"
