Chapter 369: Set off to meet the elders

That night, Shang Nianlan had been very nervous and at a loss. Because she doesn't know what to face tomorrow.

As soon as the sky opened slightly, the red clothes woke up Shang Ruonan, because today's schedule may be a little tight, so Shang Ruonan and Shang Nianlan had to get up early in the morning and have to paint a light makeup first.

Shang Ruonan is still young, so naturally he doesn't need to paint, but Shang Nianlan has to paint makeup. Shang Ruonan watched Lily paint her sister's makeup, because Shang Nianlan's skin was good, so she didn't need to put any powder, just lightly painted her eyebrows, and then put some powder on her cheeks.

Shang Ruonan reached out and touched the cheek powder, this was the last time he went to Beijing, he bought it for his sisters, and said that it was the best powder, but the tentacles were very rough.

Shang Ruonan said on the side:

"This powder is not very good, I will make a powder for my sister in the future, and I guarantee that it is better than this."

"Do you also make cheek powder?"

"What's so hard about that. I will go back and plant flowers on our Zhuangzi, and when the time comes, I will use the flowers to make some powder for my sisters. Guaranteed to be better than these powders. ”

"Oh, Lily, are the eyebrows drawn high here?"

Shang Nianlan said while looking at herself in the bronze mirror.

Shang Ruonan looked at the bronze mirror, to be honest, under this kind of bronze mirror, it really can't be seen whether the makeup is good or not. And then again, in candlelight. It's even hazy.

Shang Ruonan turned his head to look at his sister's makeup, nodded and said:

"It's not high, it's just right, sister, you're dazzled."

Lily and pothos also turned around to take a look, and both thought that it was not high. Shang Ruonan smiled and said:

"Sister, it seems that you are too nervous."

Shang Ruonan reached out and pinched Shang Nianlan's hand, and Shang Nianlan's palms were sweaty. Shang Nianlan sighed, lowered her head slightly and said:

"It's okay to go to see Tan Jushi, I'm not so nervous. But thinking about going to meet the elders of the Kou family, I was a little scared. I heard that the old lady of the Kou family is also a little stern. ”

Shang Ruonan smiled and said:

"You don't have to be afraid, now as long as you don't make any mistakes, your marriage with Kou Xiaohou is a sure thing. Worried about so much to do? Those who go to see their elders are not out of line, do not say the wrong thing, and understand etiquette. ”

Shang Nianlan sighed and said:

"You are still young, if you make a mistake, you can still say that you are a child, but I am not young, and I am an eldest sister, if I make a mistake, it will be a big mistake."

"It's better for you to let go. When we were at home, didn't Mama Lu teach us how to salute and how to meet people? Otherwise, let Mama Lu follow you, I am also a person who is not afraid of things. And Mrs. Kou is a little targeted at you, not at me, but I'm not afraid. ”

Mama Lu has now become Shang Ruonan's housekeeper. It turned out to be Mrs. Murong's person. It was the last time Shang Ruonan entered Beijing, she was called by Murong Qing to teach Shang Ruonan, and she has been following Shang Ruonan since then.

Today, I was also going to follow Shang Ruonan to Murong's house, but now seeing that Miss Shang was worried about this, she also chuckled and said:

"Don't worry, eldest lady, in fact, Mrs. Kou is a very good talker, I just came out of the Kou family, I must know. Besides, there is Tan Jushi to accompany you, in the Kou family, Tan Jushi said that if you want stars, no one will give the moon. ”

Worry or not, pack up, have breakfast, and set off right away. Mama Lu really got into the carriage to the Chengde Hou Mansion. And Shang Ruonan only brought red clothes and green clothes, as well as peony to Murong Hou's house, of course, it was Qingfeng who drove.

Two carriages drove out of this street, to be honest, yesterday because of the eldest sister motion sickness on the way, Shang Ruonan didn't pay attention to which street he lived in, and now he turned out to take a look, I don't know the name of the street, but this street is still very lively, and the people are buzzing. Variety Literature

Qingfeng seemed to know what Shang Ruonan was thinking, and said while driving:

"Miss, this street is a street in the south of the capital, on this street, there are many officials of five or six grades in Beijing, turn around here, and there are some Hou mansions living on the east street. Therefore, we have to go to Dongdajie, Chengdehou's Mansion and Murong Hou's Mansion are not on the same street, and we will split our ways when we get to Dongdajie. ”

Shang Ruonan nodded slightly, only then did he think that the breeze was outside, where could he see himself nodding. In response:

"Okay, the people on my sister's side can clear the way, right?"

"Miss, don't worry, the coachman of the eldest lady is also our person."

In this way, Shang Ruonan is also relieved, and today Shang Ruonan is wearing a dress made by himself. Of course, I didn't make it myself, I just drew the pattern by myself and let people make it, because I came this time to attend the wedding of the county lord, so I had to dress up a little bit. Therefore, Shang Ruonan's clothing is also slightly more formal.

Originally, he was not tall, but Shang Ruonan worked his clothes, and after wearing this clothes, he didn't look short.

The carriage went all the way forward, and after leaving this side of the street, it was much quieter, and when it came to a slightly wide place, the breeze stopped the carriage aside. Shang Nianlan's carriage drove over, and when it was side by side with Qingfeng's carriage, Qingfeng said:

"Miss, I'm about to part ways with the eldest lady."

Shang Ruonan gently rolled up the curtain a little and looked over, and happened to see the eldest sister roll up the curtain. Shang Ruonan chuckled at the eldest sister and said:

"Eldest sister, don't worry, it's okay."

As they spoke, they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and the two sisters hurriedly lowered the curtain. Shang Nianlan's carriage was also busy taking two steps forward, so that he could get out of the way and let others pass.

I didn't expect the sound of horses' hooves to come to me and stop leaving.

"Nianlan!"

As soon as he heard the voice, it was Marquis Kou, and the subordinates also went down to salute one by one, leaving only the two young ladies still sitting in the carriage.

Shang Ruonan chuckled in the carriage behind him and said:

"It's okay now, with Marquis Kou to greet you, the eldest sister doesn't have to worry."

Kou Ziyu smiled and said:

"I don't have to worry about it, just go and see the people at home."

And then he said:

"Qingfeng, take care of your young lady. Let's go first. ”

It seems that Kou Ziyu is specially here to pick up Shang Nianlan.

Kou Ziyu got on his horse again and shouted:

"Let's go."

Shang Nianlan's carriage set off first, and then Qingfeng's carriage also drove out.

East Avenue is divided into north and south, and there are several small streets on each side. Every small street you enter, it is basically a Hou Mansion or Guogong Mansion, and the largest one is naturally the Huayang Wangfu on this street.

The Chengde Marquis Mansion is a newly given residence by the emperor. Go in the third alley to the south. And Murong Hou's Mansion entered in the seventh alley on the north side. So, it's still a bit far apart.
