The path outside the West City Gate is built for the villagers of the surrounding towns and villages to enter the city, mainly for the passage, in the width and flatness of the official road is far worse, the width of the path is just enough to accommodate the troika of the princess of Chang'an, because the road is uneven, the carriage goes very slowly, Rao is so, the princess of Chang'an is still bumpy and stuffy, coupled with the stuffiness in the carriage, the princess of Chang'an only feels uncomfortable all over, and hates why she will be frightened by a few words of Anatu to detour.

Xu Shu rested for half a month after the person also relieved her strength, although the road was bumpy, but fortunately, the speed of progress was not fast, and she gradually adapted to it, plus she was not afraid of heat, and when others complained about the stuffy and bitter days, she was able to sit calmly in the carriage and polish the Buddha beads.

Although most of the road is good, there are also some sections of the road that have varying degrees of damage, so that when the seriously damaged section of the road is reached, Princess Chang'an and other female dependents have to get out of the car and walk through, and the carriage has to be disassembled and carried over and then put together.

Anatu, however, turned a deaf ear to the complaints of the crowd and continued to go his own way, and they had no choice but to continue on this path.

Finally, after six days of detouring the trail, I stepped on the official road again, the road was instantly wide and smooth, and it was much more comfortable to sit in the carriage, and I walked along the official road for another day and finally arrived at Pingliang City.

Pingliang is a military fortress, is the only way to get out of the customs, from here, officially away from the capital's sphere of influence, and then go forward for three or five days to get out of the customs, close to Rouran.

Arrived here, Princess Chang'an finally gave up the idea of escaping from the family, since she had to go to the family, she had to start planning for the days after the marriage, Princess Chang'an was surprisingly calm, and the eyes of the women who looked at the marriage family were different from before.

Because of the bumpy road, the mission has suffered a lot along the way, Princess Chang'an sent a message to let everyone rest in Pingliang City for a day before setting off, and even allowed everyone to enjoy a day in the city, which is a very gratifying thing for everyone who has been running for nearly two months, and the women discussed to buy some rouge gouache and silk fabrics, and it is difficult to buy these things when they get out of the customs.

Although Xu Shu was not interested in these things, Gao Zhinan was very interested, so he went with him.

It is nearly a thousand miles away from the capital, and the fashionable fabrics, clothes and makeup are also very different from the capital, and the women are full of interest, and Mrs. Ding sent a guard to follow and protect, so there is no need to worry about safety, so they have more energy.

The women are dressed extraordinary, and the guards send each other, at a glance it is a big customer, the store is naturally 120,000 attentive hospitality, to a rouge shop, the female shopkeeper is very attentive to present all kinds of rouge for the women to choose.

Gao Zhinan took two boxes casually, looked at them, dipped his fingers in a little more, twisted them lightly, sniffed them again, and then dropped them, "This rouge is far inferior to you in terms of color, fragrance and texture!" ”

Xu Shu said proudly, "If the casual things bought outside can be compared to what I made, then wouldn't I be too bad about things!" ”

Gao Zhinan smiled, "It's too! The rouge on the outside is naturally not as good as the materials you use, and I remember that you asked me to help you find spices before! ”

"You're embarrassed to say it!" Xu Shu said disgustedly, "I can't even tell the difference between agarwood and agarwood!" After spending so much money, I finally bought a bunch of scrap products that were too small to even start a fire! ”

Gao Zhinan touched his nose embarrassedly, "I also asked my mother to help me see it, but I don't know that my mother has also lost her eyes!" ”

"It's because I can't find a good condition in the capital that I asked you to help, but what you found is not as good as those inferior ones!" It seems that Xu Shu has regarded this matter as a laughing stock for Gao Zhinan.

Gao Zhinan pretended to be annoyed, "If you laugh at me, I won't use the rouge you made again!" ”

Xu Shu chuckled, and Miss Jiang Si on the side suddenly interjected with a surprised face, "It turns out that Miss Xu Jiu can also make rouge!" ”

Gao Zhinan was stunned and turned his head sideways to drink tea, and was a little disdainful of Miss Jiang Si's inappropriate interjection.

"Leisure pastime, can't be on the stage!" Xu Shu replied lightly, and picked up the teacup like Gao Zhinan.

Serving tea to the guests, Xu Shu obviously had no desire to continue communicating with Miss Jiang Si.

Miss Jiang Si said excitedly, "I also tried to make rouge myself before, but the color of the makeup is not right, does Miss Xu Jiu know what the reason is?" ”

Xu Shu's tone was even lighter, "I don't know about this, I've never encountered this situation when I did it!" ”

"Oh!" Miss Jiang Si was a little disappointed.

At this time, Miss Xiao San suddenly said again, "It turns out that Miss Xu Jiu has also made rouge herself?" "Obviously, I heard what Xu Shu just said.

Xu Shu nodded, but didn't answer, Miss Xiao San is not like Miss Jiang Si, she is an informed and interesting person, and she stopped talking when she saw that Xu Shu had no desire to talk.

Unexpectedly, Miss Huang spoke up immediately, "It turns out that Miss Xu Jiu still has this craft, why don't you buy some materials and go back, and let Miss Xu Jiu make some to open our eyes!" ”

Looking at the two rouge boxes that were casually discarded on the table by Gao Zhinan, I knew that the rouge made by Xu Shu must be stronger than the one bought outside, and the love of beauty is something that every woman has, Miss Huang said this is actually a disguised desire for the rouge made by Xu Shu, and other people can't open this mouth even if they want to, now that Miss Huang has opened this mouth, they can also follow the light, and they all looked at Xu Shu with earnestness.

Xu Shu tugged at the corner of her mouth, holding the tea bowl and ignoring Miss Huang's proposal. Not to mention that she doesn't have the mood to be rouge now, just the tone of Miss Huang's speech made her very disgusted, and she was so natural that she really gave her face.

The sneer on Xu Shu's face silently rejected Miss Huang's proposal, and was embarrassed by Xu Shu in front of so many people, Miss Huang was very angry, and said sourly with a breath of anger, "Also, when Miss Xu Jiu was in Beijing, she only made incense for the Empress Dowager, what identity do we have, how can we be worthy of Miss Xu Jiu's condescension!" It's me who can't help myself! ”

Although Miss Huang's words sound like self-deprecation, she is not satirizing Xu Shu's stammering with the powerful!

Everyone originally had no ill will towards Xu Shu, but after hearing Miss Huang's words, they looked at Xu Shu and looked at Xu Shu's eyes badly, although they all understood that their identities were different from those of the Empress Dowager, but it did not prevent them from being affected by Miss Huang's words and being prejudiced against Xu Shu.

People are like this, they want something but don't get it, they only blame the person who didn't get it, and never think that the thing they want is what they deserve?
