Chapter 25: On the Horse Farm
Sheng Jinran didn't plan to meddle in the Zhang family's mess, but seeing this Zhang Zi's aggressive appearance, she couldn't help but open her mouth, Jinran snorted coldly: "Zhang Zi, look at what else you look like?" I don't know what my grandmother will say when she hears your 'wonderful remarks'. ”
Zhang Zi's face changed, she had always been most afraid of the old lady of the Zhang family, not to mention that Bai Mo was being loved by the old lady Zhang these days, and even Sheng Jinran was also her grandmother's own granddaughter, offending two people together, she still didn't have such great ability.
She boasted that she couldn't be provoked, so she had to stare at Bai Mo, who bit her lower lip, and swaggered away with a few maids.
After Zhang Zi left, Zhang Qi on the side came out and comforted Bai Mo softly.
Jin Ran glanced at her and didn't ask her why she didn't dare to speak just now.
Jin Ran knew that although Zhang Qi was the daughter of the long house, his second uncle, that is, Zhang Zi's father's position, had reached the third grade, and the entire Zhang family was counting on Zhang Zi's father, and Zhang Qi did not dare to offend Zhang Zi on weekdays.
Bai Mo didn't cry until after Zhang Zi left, she clenched her veil tightly, although she was crying, she didn't dare to let out a sound. The shoulders shook and shook, so pitiful.
Regarding what happened to Bai Mo today, Jin Ran has long experienced.
After the Sheng family was exiled before, she didn't know how much she suffered and insulted in the Luo family, and Jin Ran felt pity for this girl who was alone under the fence.
But she didn't comfort like Zhang Qi, she just asked coldly: "Bai Mo, is it useful to cry?" ”
Bai Mo's crying gradually became smaller, but she was still sobbing quietly.
Jin Ran didn't care, she was still cold, and asked herself: "Bai Mo, it's useless to cry, it's useless to endure, and the pity of others is even more useless, only your own strength can make you settle down, let you have a way to survive, and let you not be tortured by villains." ”
After Jin Ran said these words, she beckoned Li Ying to go down the mountain, and she could only say that. As for whether Bai Mo listens or not, it can only depend on herself.
After experiencing the accident on the mountain, Jin Ran couldn't get up to the idea of entanglement with the Zhang sisters.
She didn't like to travel in the first place, she simply didn't go, except for the fixed greeting to Mrs. Zhang and her mother, the rest of the time was in this small courtyard, writing, playing the piano, and living a leisurely life, which was extremely comfortable.
After that, Bai Mo and Zhang Qi came a few times, and also invited Jinran to visit places like the poetry club in Jinling, but Jinran refused on the grounds of "physical discomfort".
One day, Jin Ran was still in the study opposite the account book in the shop, but saw her mother walk in with a happy face.
"Yes! Don't be right, go out and take a look, General Fang's house is here. Zhang's steps didn't stop, he pulled Jin Ran and walked out, chanting as he walked: "You kid, you don't tell me when General Fang's family comes." Now it's scrambling. ”
Jin Ran was surprised: "Then you said that you want to come?" I'm still confused! ”
When the two were separated, they only talked about riding horses together, and as for Fang Tianji to send someone, Jin Ran really didn't know at all.
After a while, they arrived in the hall, and there was an old woman in a brown cloth skirt standing at the bottom, she was very neat and clean, her gray hair was pulled into a bun on her head, and her face was smiling, giving people a sense of affinity.
Seeing Jin Ran come in, before Zhang could greet her, the old lady knelt down and kowtowed, bluffing Jin Ran.
Jin Ran hurriedly asked this person to get up, and the old lady didn't shirk, stood up for a few sentences, and said the purpose of her coming like a bean: "Miss Sheng, Da'an!" The slave maid is the housekeeper of General Fang's family, and General Fang sent me to deliver something to you, and the deed of two people. ”
It was not surprising to send something to Jinran, but she really couldn't think of this deed, Jinran hurriedly asked: "Deed?" What is the deed? ”
The woman smiled all over her face: "General Fang said that it was the identity of the two foreigners who went to play with you on Huren Street before and met." ”
Jin Ran realized that he was a little sweet in his heart, he was not allowed to meet with those two foreigners before, he was worried that something was wrong, but now he sent the deeds of those two people......
Looking at the wooden box that came with the deed, it turned out to be a red and black flannel riding suit, the riding suit did not have some lace inlays, gemstone embellishments, it was a clean body, but the stitches were fine, and the easy grinding place on the shoulder was also carefully wrapped with two layers of arrowroot cloth.
Even the embroidered boots with cowhide soles were neatly prepared, and there was a horsewhip woven together with various kinds of fur on the top, and there were really all kinds of corners and corners.
Jin Ran picked up the horsewhip, which was woven together with layers of colored animal hair mixed with some skin. The handle is also wrapped in a soft silk cloth to prevent the user from scratching his hand. This whip is not long, it is much shorter than a normal horse whip, and Jin Ran is still small, but it is just right to use at this time.
The woman saw that Jin Ran was very interested, and also said on the side: "These are all ordered by the general personally, the general read that Miss has just arrived in Zhang's mansion, and many things may not be available for a while, so he sent the minions to buy it, this set of riding clothes, the general has asked back and forth I don't know how many times." ”
Jin Ran's eyes softened. At the beginning of the boat, Jin Ran vomited to death, Fang Tianji was able to learn the tricks of one-handed massage from the doctor, and pinched his hands every day.
Zhang watched from the side, and she was also very happy, she didn't agree with the other party's halberd very much before, but just to see that her daughter liked it.
Now he looks at it coldly, but he is really a good choice for a son-in-law, not to mention that this child is very motivated, and his official position is not low at a young age, just say that he cares about his daughter on weekdays, which is already rare among many children of the family.
Carefully packed up and put in order the things sent by Fang Tianji.
Jin Ran also ordered someone to get a small brocade box, a long one, it didn't look very big, she smiled and asked the old woman: "Mama, this is something from my foreign goods store, it's not a precious object, but it's rare to be rare, please help me give this to General Fang." ”
The old woman was overjoyed, she took the brocade box, and said with a smile: "Where does it matter what is precious or not?" The things that Miss Sheng gave, even if it is a flower or grass, our general must love it very much. ”
Jin Ran blushed and asked for mercy, and the mother-in-law happily took the return gift and left.
Fang Tianji's riding outfit was delivered in time, Jin Ran had never ridden a horse before, although the family could temporarily rush to make it, but it couldn't be so complete anyway.
She took the clothes to the room and tried them on a little, it turned out to be not too big or too small, and Fang Tianji thought that he had secretly inquired about Jin Ran's size before ordering someone to make it.
The red and white riding suit is a slim style, and the narrow waist is cut to line the thin waist of Jin Ran wicker, but although it looks slender, because of its color, it also adds a bit of heroism to Jin Ran. This riding outfit flatters her better than the big gauze skirts on weekdays.
There is also the small and delicate little hat, embroidered with a lot of daylily patterns, and the octagonal hat has a lot of good East Pearls on the edge, which can not only decorate, but also suppress the long hair that flies with the wind blowing, and even the embroidery girl brought by Jinran is also amazed by the exquisite thoughts.
The weather is getting cooler day by day, and the hottest part of summer is finally over.
"Enough with some?" Jin Ran had never been to a horse farm, let alone ridden a horse, and he didn't know anything about what to bring.
Zhang's got up early in the morning and took people to clean up Jinran's dress, and since Jinran grew up day by day, Zhang's family cared more about Jinran's clothes than usual.
"There should be nothing missing." Zhang Shi pulled up Jinran's broken hair with the red jade with gold-rimmed tassel comb in his hand, and nodded with satisfaction.
Jin Ran's comb today is Chaoyun bun, one left and one right take two butterfly-shaped blue-burning gold clips to get stuck, pull a long fine broken gold chain behind, and there is a comb inserted by Zhang's, and wear a pair of begonia flower-shaped gold studs on the ears, a small point, particularly delicate.
Other than that, Jin Ran didn't have a second piece of jewelry.
is refreshing and refreshing, and the dark red riding clothes on his body actually make Jinran feel more bright and atmospheric. Accompanied by her gorgeous and delicate face and heroic eyebrows, she vividly revealed the neat and dangerous beauty of a thorny rose.
Jin Ran turned around by himself, and he was also very satisfied. Although most people who have seen her don't say it, Jin Ran knows that these ladies and wives don't like her appearance very much, and they don't think she has the kind of "dignified" eldest lady.
However, they didn't dare to say that Jinran's appearance was not beautiful, but it was too beautiful, which made them very vigilant.
At the end of the day, it's just jealousy.
Everything was packed up, and Jin Ran got into the carriage that went to the racecourse, these were the servants of the Sheng family who originally stayed in Jinling, so it was quite easy for Jin Ran to summon them.
Although she and her mother live in Zhang's house, they can't trouble Zhang's family from time to time. And she didn't want the Zhang family to know that she and Fang Tianji went to the racecourse together.
Judging from the chaotic relationship between the Zhang family. They don't have any kindness to themselves.
This horse farm is very far away from Zhang's family, according to Zhang's family, even because it is too far, so the girls of the Zhang family usually run horses in the mountains behind their homes.
It took a lot of time for Jinran to arrive by car. In addition, after stopping and stopping along the way, it was close to noon when he arrived at the racecourse, and Jin Ran was in the car, and he also finished reading a book and eating two or three plates of dim sum.
After sitting in the carriage all morning, Jin Ran was also choking enough, so as soon as the carriage stopped, she jumped out and walked around for a while before she became more comfortable.
Fang Tianji had been waiting at the door of the racecourse for a long time, and when he saw Jin Ran get out of the car at this time, his eyes lit up, he had never been interested in women's looks and postures, and he didn't know much about them, but at this time, he felt that Jin Ran's outfit today was much more beautiful than usual.
He walked up to Jin Ran and said with a smile: "It's a shame that I have covered the first area of this racecourse today." ”
Jin Ran was very strange: "Why do you say that?" ”
Fang Tianji turned his face away slightly, and his tone was a little worried: "I don't want others to see you so beautiful." ”
Only then did Jin Ran realize what Fang Tianji's previous words meant, and two blushes appeared on his face: "Oops! Don't talk nonsense. ”
