Chapter 7 Travel

The maiden family of the Zhu family's eldest and youngest grandmother Qin is very famous in the capital, and Qin Hongqin, the eldest sister of the Qin family, is a well-known beauty in the city, and now, she has become the side princess of King Jingrong, with a noble status.

King Jingrong is an authentic relative of the emperor, and after Qin Hongqin became his side concubine, the Qin family's position in the power of the capital suddenly became very important.

I think that at the beginning, the Zhu family was able to marry the Qin family, and it was all because of the Jingguo Mansion that pulled the red line from it.

Although Qin's appearance is not as outstanding as that of the eldest sister, she can also be called beautiful and lovely, and she is also proficient in piano, chess, poetry, calligraphy and painting, and can be regarded as a talented woman among talented women!

Zhu Jintang, the eldest of the Zhu family, has been married to her for three years, and the two of them respect each other like guests, but they have no children under their knees, which makes people anxious.

As the eldest daughter-in-law of the long house, Qin's family was eager to have a child, and almost searched for all kinds of famous doctors, and finally got pregnant and gave birth to a son, but people couldn't afford to get sick and were dying.

The Zhu family attaches great importance to this hard-won eldest grandson, but for the Qin family, which has not had much time and has worked hard, they have to plan early and take precautions.

On the morning of going to Zhu's house for the banquet, Shen Yuechen deliberately got up a little early, and Cui Xin came in to groom and dress her, with a smile in her crooked eyes.

"Girl, this is the first time I've gone out with an old lady, and the slave must dress you up."

Cui Xin said as she dressed her and combed her hair with her hands and feet.

"Our girl has fair skin, so she is suitable for wearing such bright colors." Mother Wu then also came in, with a happy look on her face, and praised with a smile.

Shen Yuechen lowered her eyes and looked at the placket, only to hear Mother Wu caressing her back, and said in a somewhat touching tone: "The girl has really grown up, she is a big girl." ”

Shen Yuechen raised the corners of her mouth, and when she looked up, she saw Chunxi, the maid in the old lady's room, walking in the door with a smile.

Mother Wu hurriedly greeted her: "Miss Chunxi, why are you here......"

Chunxi smiled and said, "The old lady asked me to come over to see if the eldest lady is ready, and if there is anything else you need?" ”

Mother Wu hurriedly led Chunxi into the house, and said with a smile: "It's almost ready, girl, let's go to the house and have a look." ”

Chunxi is the eldest girl in the old lady's room, in her early twenties, born with a round baby face, and her smile is very likable.

After entering the house, Chunxi greeted Shen Yuechen generously, and looked at her quickly with his eyes, seeing that she had a bright dress and long hair shawl, she just needed to comb her hair in a beautiful bun.

"The eldest lady is dressed up so well, why don't you let the slave comb your hair in a matching bun?"

When Shen Yuechen heard this, she subconsciously nodded and said yes.

Come to think of it, the reason why the old lady sent her here may also be out of this consideration.

Chunxi took the wooden comb from Cuixin's hand, Cuixin immediately stepped aside with interest, slightly pursed her mouth, and saw that Chunxi seemed to be playing a trick, neatly curling the young lady's long black hair into a concentric bun, skillful techniques, light movements, and couldn't help but be a little more careful and serious in her eyes.

After combing her hair, Chunxi took out a white jade inlaid beaded jade hairpin from the open jewelry box on the table and gently inserted it into her bun, and after looking at it carefully, she asked with a smile, "What does Miss think?" ”

Shen Yuechen nodded with satisfaction.

Chunxi followed: "It's about to have breakfast, so it's better for the young lady to go to the main courtyard with the slave and maid and accompany the old lady." ”

"It's fine." Shen Yuechen got up slowly, turned her head and glanced at Mother Wu, "Mom and Cuixin will rest at home today." ”

"Miss, just go out happily and don't worry about anything." Wu's mother answered, and then followed the two of them out of the house and sent them to the gate of the courtyard.

Looking at Shen Yuechen's graceful back, Mother Wu sighed deeply, her heart was sour and sweet, and she had an indescribable feeling.

When the old lady saw Shen Yuechen's dress, she was naturally very satisfied, and said in person: "It looks good." ”

Dress her up beautifully, and when she is taken out, she will make people look decent, and her own face will also be bright, so why not do it yourself.

Shen Yuechen lowered her eyes slightly, pretending to sit in front of her shyly, silent.

Before going out, although the old lady didn't say much, she just asked them to behave well, but Shen Yuechen could still see from the serious look on her face how much she cared about going to Zhu's mansion for a banquet today.

Shaw and her two daughters are still dressed in fancy clothes and jewels.

Shen Yuechen and the old lady sat in the same carriage, except for Chunxi and Chunying, they didn't bring more people, because Mama Li was too old and Wu's mother didn't go out often, so the old lady specially assigned two young and sensible entourage, and let Chunying, who was the most old, take care of Shen Yuechen.

Along the way, the sweltering heat inside the carriage made people sweat frequently. Although the ice basin was placed, it was still not used, and the maids fanned hard, and their wrists were so tired that their wrists were sore.

"Grandmother, are you suffocated?" Shen Yuechen looked at the beads of sweat overflowing from the old lady's nose, asked for an extra fan from Chunxi, and gently fanned it for her.

The old lady was sweating hot, first lifted the curtain and looked out, then glanced at Shen Yuechen beside her, and saw that her face was clean and still refreshed, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Why is this kid different from others?" I don't feel the heat. ”

Shen Yuechen quietly played the fan and replied, "I'm fine." ”

When the old lady heard this, she sighed a little depressedly and said, "Bring me some peppermint oil." ”

As soon as her words fell, Chunxi immediately found it out and was about to hand it over, but when she saw Shen Yuechen take the initiative to stretch out her hand, she immediately handed it to her.

Shen Yuechen opened the box, dipped a little bit of it with the tips of her fingers, and gently applied it to the temples of the old lady.

"Is grandmother better?"

"Well, it's cooler." The old lady closed her eyes and raised her spirit.

Traveling in the summer is a sinful thing, especially for women who apply grease and powder, the rouge and gouache on their faces will be turned into a mess by sweat.

The carriage had only been on the road for half an hour, and Shaw had to pick up the small bronze mirror again to touch up his makeup.

Shen Yueyan looked at her and applied a thick layer of fat powder to her face, and frowned slightly: "Mother, the powder on your face is too thick." ”

Xiao Shi looked at himself in the bronze mirror, raised his eyebrows and said, "How can you do it if you don't paint it thicker, so that you look good." ”

The ladies of the deep house, it is rare to have the opportunity to come out for a walk, and now that she is a big family with a head and a face like the Zhu family, Xiao naturally hopes that she can show her face well.

Shen Yueyan pursed her lips disapprovingly, and lifted the corners of her skirt to herself, wanting to cool herself down.

Seeing this, Xiao Shi immediately put on a straight face and said, "Hurry up and put the rules down, this is outside, and in your own room, you are not allowed to look like a girl's house." ”

Shen Yueyan frowned and said impatiently: "This will be just the three of us, and others can't see it." ”

Xiao Shi saw her lazy look, and his face suddenly became ugly, and he hated iron but not steel.

Along the way, Shen Yuechang quietly lifted the curtain, secretly paying attention to the situation outside, looking left and right, with a faint look of impatience.

When she saw the magnificent and spacious gate of the Zhu family from a distance, and the big stone lion lying on both sides of the door, she couldn't help but hook the corners of her mouth slightly.

The whole Zhu Mansion had already started to get busy, and there were constantly carriages stopping in front of the door, and the maids at the door were busy leading the ladies and ladies of each family to the courtyard.
