Chapter 18: Legends
The lord of Lanxin was a legendary figure in the Dashun Dynasty.
She is the youngest daughter of King Yujun, with five older brothers, and she has been held in the palm of her hand since she was a child.
It stands to reason that the daughter raised in such an environment should be delicate and gentle like water, but the lord of Lanxin is not biased.
She didn't like to laugh since she was a child, and it is said that she cried very loudly when she was born, and when King Yujun, who was guarding outside the house, heard this cry, he yelled: "Why is he a boy again!" ”
As a result, Wen Po came out to congratulate her, saying that she was a beautiful little daughter, and King Yujun thought that he had heard it wrong.
Later, the county lord of Lanxin did not become a little baby cared for and pampered by her brothers, nor did she become a little heel who followed her brothers to fight and kill, she frowned all day long, disgusted with everything in the world. Its character of "which pot is not opened, which pot is not mentioned, which sentence is not heard", can be said to be well-known throughout the capital.
The status of the county palace is high, who dares to accuse the county lord of Lanxin of being unpleasant?
Besides, parents all over the world, which is either "the leper son is good", or the "Chongsheng girl" is no exception, the county king and the princess of the county are so tight that they can't listen to half a word of gossip.
Of course, any bad temperament and strange temper are harmless, not enough to make the Lord of Lanxin County famous in the capital.
What really makes her "stand out" among many royal women is that she is old and unmarried.
It is difficult for a royal woman to marry, it has been the case in all dynasties, and it is not a new thing, but the lord of Lanxin is not difficult to marry. When the queen of the dynasty took great pains for her marriage, she even took six young talents, either the children of nobles, or the children of the family, or the talents of the imperial examination, sorry, the lord of Lanxin County didn't look down on her.
The county lord said, "You weigh me, I weigh you, and the little pig goes on the scale?" ”
Later, the queen didn't bother to "weigh" her anymore. Therefore, the county lord of Lanxin was "angry" all the way, and he was "angry" to the full twenty.
That's right, today is the twentieth birthday of the Lord of Lanxin.
She didn't care in the slightest.
If it is an ordinary girl's family, if she does not marry at this age, the government will punish the crime. is a noble woman, although the government does not dare to punish the crime, the girl's family herself lives in a simple place, and strives to forget the world.
The county lord of Lanxin is not, she is proud of her twenty years old, and even has to celebrate her birthday in a big way.
I'm afraid that the world won't know that she is twenty years old.
In the past, the two young ladies of the Guogong Mansion had met the Lord of Lanxin, but there was basically no communication.
Chen Muxi is not in good health, rarely goes out, and occasionally goes to banquets and is not very social, so he is a glass beauty. Chen Muzhi is young, often with ordinary underage children, and does not participate in the topics of female dependents.
But now Chen Muzhi is like a new student, and it is the first time she has appeared in the noble circle of the capital after returning home, and she is also very curious about what those people will think of her.
When the ladies of the Guogong Mansion went out, the sky was gloomy. Guerlain sent Chen Muzhi and them to the door, and when she saw that it was not good, she stuffed two umbrellas into Chen Muzhi's carriage.
Wang Hualan saw it in front of him, and couldn't help glaring at Qiaotong. Qiaotong immediately understood that the young lady thought that she was not clever and thoughtful, and she was scared and sweating.
The Wang family happened to come out surrounded by the maids, and when they saw this scene, they patted Wang Hualan gently.
"Don't worry, I've got it in the carriage."
Wang's carriage was spacious, but Chen Muzhi was unwilling to sit with Wang Hualan, so he prepared two carriages, Wang Hualan and Wang rode together, and Chen Muzhi rode alone.
The ladies of the Guogong Mansion traveled, the pomp was still very large, the honor guard leading the way in front was majestic, and the two carriages were not magnificent, but they were followed by a group of servants on the side, and the plain carriage was particularly solemn. There were also several teams of servants behind the carriage, and five large boxes were carried in the middle, which were birthday gifts from the Guogong Mansion to the lord of Lanxin.
"After changing places, are you still sleeping?" Wang asked.
"It's not very good, when I fell asleep, I could already hear the sound of roosters crowing in the distance." Wang Hualan said in a low voice.
Yesterday, under the command of Chen Muzhi, the vine flower even lifted the bed in the bedroom of Liuxiangju, Wang Hualan suffered a dumb loss, and moved to Qiaosiyuan that night.
Wang Hualan was angry in her heart, and said, "Wasn't my aunt unwell yesterday, but today is okay?" ”
Wang naturally knew that she didn't care completely, but secretly mocked that she couldn't shrink her head yesterday. I wasn't annoyed at the moment, and said lightly: "It's not that I've been working hard lately, this mental trance is also good and bad for a while, just hold on." ”
"Speaking of which, my aunt still lacks a man."
Wang's face suddenly turned solemn, and he said in a low voice: "Hua Lan, some words still have some weight in the stomach, and they are always put on the lips, and if they are heard one day, they will be worthless." ”
Wang Hualan changed her smile again: "My aunt is too careful, Hua Lan doesn't mean anything else, but I feel sorry for my aunt to support such a big national mansion, it's not easy." ”
Seeing that she was soft, Wang's face also eased.
"I'm good to you, it's because of the blood of our aunt and nephew, not for anything else. Daughter's family, it is important to find a good family affair, there are many handsome people in the capital, and my aunt will not treat you badly. ”
Wang Hualan said: "How my aunt looked for Chen Muxi at the beginning, she will also look for Hua Lan, right?" ”
Wang raised his eyes and looked at Wang Hualan. is a blood relative, and she can't say that Wang Hualan can compare with Chen Muxi's disobedience.
But Wang Hualan's heart is high, but she is even more than Chen Muxi, and Wang knows this very well.
"Whether it's for Mu Xi or for you, my heart is the same, and no one has more than half a point. But the word marriage still has to talk about chance. ”
The implication is that I just spend the same amount of thought, and I can't marry you into the prince's mansion.
"It's man-made. Chance is also created. ”
Wang Hualan was full of ambition, and her previous well-behaved and weak was gone, and her eyes were full of desire.
Wang looked at her deeply, and said after a while: "The scars on the face are almost invisible, it seems that my aunt's ointment is good......
After a pause, he added, "The goose egg powder is also good, and it is well covered." At today's banquet, you should be careful, don't talk nonsense, rub off the fat powder on your face, and the scars will be exposed. ”
I don't know if Wang Hualan understands this pun. She let out a noncommittal "um", her eyes moving again, and she didn't know what she was thinking again.
The carriage behind was quietly opened by Chen Muzhi in the corner of the window.
She loves to see the street scene. Watch the people in the market come and go on the bluestone road, watch the shopkeepers shouting hard, and watch the children running and giggling on the side of the street.
This is a picture of the endless market.
Suddenly, at the intersection of two streets, a black horse rushed out of the air, and the children who were playing were screaming and running around.
The horse did not seem to expect a convoy to pass by at the corner of the street, and immediately tried to restrain it, but it could not hold back, and saw a child who was about to embark on a hasty run.
Chen Muzhi did not hesitate, rushed out of the curtain with an arrow step, snatched the horsewhip from the horseman's hand and swung it out.
