Chapter 20: The Journey of the Two

On the other hand, Fang Tianji didn't know that his future mother-in-law had already sent people to inquire about him. He was also immersed in the happiness of meeting Jinran in the daytime.

Fang Tianji was lying on the bed, his hand unconsciously rubbing the purse that Jin Ran gave him, and the snow-white neck that Jin Ran lowered his head slightly and revealed came to his mind. Disturbing his mind was confused, he knew that he shouldn't stop Sheng Jinlan, that meant that he had to be involved with Jinran, but he couldn't help it, he didn't want to see Jinran hurt a little, besides, this was the only time he could intersect with her.

Fang Tianji never thought that he would receive a purse from Jin Ran one day, he was really surprised, although he said that he had always liked Jin Ran, but he also knew very well in his heart that he was not worthy of Jin Ran. He is just a military general, even if his sister has now entered the palace and become a concubine, but there is still no background in the family.

But the Sheng family is different, the Sheng family is a big family, and the family is a scholarly family. There are countless young sons who are close friends of friends, and they can pick out any one that is compatible with Jinranji, how can they take a fancy to themselves? But although reason has been telling Fang Tianji not to think about anything, but in the face of Jin Ran, what ability does he have not to be moved?

Jin Ran didn't know what Fang Tianji was struggling with now, she was checking the rouge gouache shop under her hand. This is a shop that Zhang's gave her a few days ago. Jin Ran was reborn after ten years, and he couldn't know more about these rouge gouaches and balm honey grease.

The juice squeezed out of rose petals and the pollen of jasmine flowers dazzled the shopkeeper in the shop, because with these general recipes and secrets of future gouache, this shop managed by Jinran is particularly popular in Kyoto.

The goose egg powder sold in the shop is delicate, light and fragrant. It is to use Wuxing stone on the edge of Taihu Lake, add a fixed proportion of titanium dioxide powder, take water and wash more, remove impurities, and add egg white and fragrant powder to stir slowly. Put it in a delicate and elegant sandalwood box. Take the silk puff and gently plop it on your face, even if it is a hot summer, your face is still dry and smooth.

And the wide variety of rouge, which is made by using the sap of different flowers. Take the rose rouge in the shop now, it is a large rose transported from the West, using the reddest petals on the outer layer, plus pearl powder, various Chinese medicinal materials and extremely rare ice silk, to make a small one, although it is worth a lot of money, but it is still sought after by the nobles of the capital.

Such a variety of rouge gouache quickly became all the rage, and how many girls and young ladies fought for a box of incense powder, which made Sheng Jinran, the proprietor behind him, smile and bend his eyes.

And Zhang's didn't expect that Jinran would be able to run such a small shop prosperously. This small shop was not very good in business, and the location was also very remote, so the customers did not patronize it much. But Jinran was stunned and turned it into the No. 1 rouge gouache shop in Kyoto that was not afraid of the aroma of wine and deep alleys.

Zhang is also amazed at her daughter's ability, she is relieved and happy. In private, I also pondered waiting for my daughter to get married, and adding a few more shops to her dowry, with my daughter's means, those shops would not be bad.

The days passed day by day, and in private, how many people did the Zhang family send to inquire about Fang Tianji without mentioning it, anyway, she was more and more satisfied with this prospective son-in-law. Not to mention the handsome appearance and good conduct, it is rare that the young man has not had a concubine or a roommate, and he is completely clean and self-conscious. Zhang is more and more fond of this young man. has already ordered several of Jin Ran's elder brothers to have a good relationship with Fang Tianji.

Jin Ran couldn't cry or laugh after learning about her mother's behavior from her brother, and she said to the third brother who came to her to make fun of herself: "Then you shouldn't be too embarrassed, Fang Tianji still doesn't know anything?" ”

"Ouch, you haven't married yet, so you'll protect it? Okay, okay, my sister, it seems that the better days are coming! "Jinran's third brother and Jinran are a pair of dragon and phoenix fetuses, and they have had a very good relationship since childhood, at this time he deliberately sighed, spread his hands, pretended to be depressed, and looked sad for his sister.

was so angry that he couldn't stop beating him: "Where can I get my turn!" I know that my mother has been showing you these days, and I'm just waiting to see. ”

The third brother of Jinran also had a big red face, the two blushed face to face, glanced at each other, and both poofed and laughed.

After the two joked and played for a while, Jin Ran brought up the matter: "Third brother, you are going to take a scientific examination this year, will you go back to Jinling with me and my mother for the summer?" "Jinran's mother, Zhang's maiden family, is in Jinling, and she is also a famous family in the local area. Every year, Jin Ran and several older brothers will return to Jinling with their mother to visit relatives in the summer.

Jinran's third brother Jin Mo sighed: "I guess I won't be able to go back this year, the eldest brother and the second brother also have a lot of official business, you and your mother go back, your father must not be at ease, you have to find someone to escort you." ”

Jin Ran was also very sad when she heard this, she had never seen her grandfather and grandmother since she was reborn, and the two old people loved her very much since she was a child, before she was reborn, Jin Ran's family was exiled to the frontier, and Jin Ran's grandfather's family secretly helped a lot, so they barely kept a little family.

So Jin Ran also wanted to go back to meet his grandfather and grandmother.

On the other hand, the Zhang family had an escort candidate for returning to her hometown this time, and she made up her mind, but she still needed to discuss it with Sheng Ning.

Sheng Ning listened to Zhang's idea, but he didn't agree with her idea a little, only to see him twist his eyebrows: "Fang Tianji? Isn't that good? If they are not related to us, they will ask them to send you back to their hometowns...... This ....... to mention, our family is not without a son. ”

Zhang's also raised eyebrows: "What do you know?" As soon as you and Mo Er have a lot of affairs, I also sent someone to inquire, this Fang Tianji will also go to Jinling on an errand recently. Second, this return to Jinling is also to let Sister Ran and that Fang Tianhalberd everywhere, if it is good, the marriage of the two children will be decided, if it is not good, we also have a bottom in advance, right? ”

No one can resist what the Zhang family decides, and even Sheng Ning can't persuade her. And Sheng Ning listened to Zhang's words, and felt a little interesting in his heart, so he also pushed the boat and went with her.

This Zhang got her husband's permission, so she immediately sent her henchman Mama Wang to the Fang Mansion to post.

Fang Tianji saw Mama Wang in the main hall, and he was a little incredulous after listening to the words of the old mama in front of him: "What you said is true?" Mrs. Sheng asked me to escort her and Miss Jinran back to Jinling? ”

At this time, Mama Wang was full of smiles: "But isn't it, Young General Fang, my master and several young masters have been very busy these days, but Miss and Mrs. Jinling have to go back, so Mrs. sent the old slave to ask you, is it convenient for you to take this time inconvenient, can you please escort back for a while?" ”

Fang Tianji was dizzy with joy, and he hurriedly said: "No problem, it's convenient, I will also go to Jinling today to run an errand, and I will definitely send my wife and young lady to Jinling safely and worry-free!" ”

Zhang was also very satisfied with Fang Tianji's reply, and then it was a few days of busy cleaning up. Although it is said that it is to go back to escape the summer, this gift is indispensable, and the luggage and backpacks for the two people to go back must be prepared one by one. Even with Jin Ran, he followed the axis for a few days, what gold beads and silver flowers, brocade embroidery shed, Zhang's even Jinran's fat powder shop also searched again, and Jin Ran also learned a lot of gifts and rules in the busy past few days.

After a few days of hectic work, everything is finally cleaned up. Jin Ran and his mother finally took the reluctance of their father and brothers and embarked on the journey to Jinling.

The smoothest route from Kyoto to Jinling is by boat from Fenshui. Jinran's return to his hometown this time is no exception. The Sheng family specially chartered a boat for the mother and daughter to go home. Jin Ran was looking forward to the journey slowly, but he didn't expect that after getting on the boat, he began to get seasick.

Jin Ran had never been a boat before, and she didn't know that she was seasick, and she never got out of bed since she got on the boat.

Fang Tianji and Zhang's were also anxious, but there was no way.

Fang Tianji saw that Jin Ran was very uncomfortable, and his heart was very distressed, so he simply ordered the boatman to dock on the shore, and with his own good light skills, he went ashore and directly captured a doctor to show Jin Ran.

This doctor is an old lady in his seventies and eighties, and he is not afraid of being caught, but he keeps looking at Fang Tianji and Jin Ran back and forth while touching his beard: "You bastard, I'm worried that my daughter-in-law will have to take it easy next time, and you won't be blind in the future." He taught Fang Tianji a lesson while being Jinran's vein, and regardless of Fang Tianji's stammering explanation on the side, he said slowly: "It's not a big deal, it's just seasickness, I'll prescribe you a few doses, bastard, fry a pair every day and feed it to your daughter-in-law, and it will be no problem in less than three days." ”

Jin Ran blushed and sent someone to send the old doctor away, she was a little shy, but she had to keep a straight face: "You won't be allowed to do this in the future, you are still an official of the imperial court, this is not good for your reputation." ”

Fang Tianji's eyes looked at Jin Ran motionlessly, and the corners of his lips smiled: "Okay, I won't be like this in the future, I just see you uncomfortable, I'm really scared, just for a while, okay?" ”

He carefully helped Jin Ran up from the couch and added a pillow behind her to make Jin Ran sit more comfortably: "I'll let the maid decoction the medicine, you will take the medicine in a while, can you sleep well?" ”

When Jin Ran heard that he wanted to take medicine, his delicate brows furrowed: "Huh? Need to take medicine? I don't want to take medicine, can't I? ”

Fang Tianji disagreed: "If only you were fine, but seeing that your body is so weak?" I see that your seasickness is also the reason for your bad body bones, even if it is this time, you still have to practice more in the future. Hey, don't move, lie down quickly, and get up when the medicine is ready. ”

Jin Ran looked at his look of being afraid of melting, and laughed: "Okay, okay, how can it be so delicate?" I'll take my medicine in a minute, okay? ”

Fang Tianji was barely relieved after listening to Jin Ran's words, but he didn't leave, stared at Jin Ran and drank all the medicine, and stuffed a piece of candied fruit into Jin Ran's mouth before leaving with confidence.
