Yuan and the eighth year, the beginning of February.

The snow had just faded in the entire Shengjing City, and the green shoots had not yet been pulled out of the branches.

Everywhere it looks bare.

In the university scholar's mansion, at this moment, the servants are sweeping the snow and holding the lamp.

In the elegant and graceful courtyard, a scarlet girl sat under the porch.

A white fox fur wrapped her very tightly, revealing a very delicate face.

The maids beside her waited for her, trying to put charcoal near her feet.

But she refused.

"Miss, I've dressed enough, I don't like the smell of charcoal, take it."

It's a little difficult to chase the moon, if the young lady is frozen, wouldn't it be troublesome.

There is still a draft in the palace in January, and with the appearance and family background of the young lady, she must stay.

If she is sick at this moment, then the old lady blames her, what should she do?

Thinking about it, I was going to open my mouth to persuade a few words.

It's a pity that the eldest lady of the Lan family didn't plan to give her this opportunity, but instead took a book of poetry and read it seriously.

"It is a good scenery in the south of the Yangtze River, and the season of falling flowers is a good time."

Every time she read this, she would pause a little.

I kept thinking about the good scenery of Jiangnan.

The winter in this Shengjing City is too long, not as slow as coming from the south of the Yangtze River, and going early.

At this moment, I am afraid that the spring water has melted, and the wicker on both sides of the strait is ready to sprout.

"I've never been anywhere in my life, and I'm trapped in this four directions."

After saying this, Lan Xianya was a little sad.

It was Chasing Yun next to her who comforted her and said.

"Miss, don't be sad, we will definitely have a chance in the future. The slave maid heard that the emperor is cute to the east and south, if you enter the palace and get favored, you can naturally go with you, don't say Jiangnan at that time, but I'm afraid that the next place is not a problem. ”

Lan Xianya glanced at Chaiyun and suddenly chuckled.

There was a look of "you are stupid" in his eyes, but he still patted her on the shoulder.

Said funny.

"Okay, if you go to Jiangnan by then, how about I find you a Jiangnan son-in-law, Miss? Miss, I haven't seen the vast world, how about you go and see it for me? ”

Chasing Yun blushed when she said this.

Stomping his feet, he said with some embarrassment.

"Miss! I won't talk to you anymore. ”

After saying this, he turned around and went to the house and made his bed.

Lan Xianya couldn't straighten up with a smile.

Mrs. Lan, who had just come in from outside, was also in a good mood when she saw this scene.

"Yo, what did the girls say to make you so happy?"

"Mother is here? Quick, get in and sit! ”

She didn't like to let her family know that she loved to sit under the porch and read, and she didn't have to be choreographed again.

Fortunately, the big is thick enough, so her hands and feet are not cold.

Mrs. Lan didn't notice anything, and entered the house with her daughter with a smile.

The furnishings in the house are still as elegant and polite as ever, and Mrs. Lan looks at her daughter who has been carefully raised, and the more she looks at it, the more she likes it.

So he reached out and helped the hairpin between her buns, and then said with a smile.

"The clothes for the palace draft have been sewn, I'll rush to try them on for you, if there is anything wrong, there is still time to modify it."

As he spoke, he asked the grandmother next to him to bring up the clothes.

This dress was specially invited by the embroidery lady of the Cloud Embroidery Pavilion.

It took half a year, a total of eight embroiderers, and they came out with all their might.

I saw a dress with intricate lake blue silk embroidered butterfly pattern jumping in front of me.

The embroidery color of three blue and three green looks ordinary at first glance, but after looking at it for a while, it feels elegant and fresh.

At the bottom of the dress, the legs are densely embroidered with a butterfly love flower pattern.

At first glance, it is with heart.

Lan Xianya liked this dress very much, and hurried to get on it.

Sure enough, as soon as this dress is put on, it is very suitable for her whole person's charm.

When I walked, the butterfly love flower at my feet seemed to be alive, and people couldn't take their eyes off it.

For Lan Xianya's appearance and bearing, the Lan family has always been proud.

Seeing that his daughter is about to enter the palace as a concubine, Yu Lan's is also a great thing.

Therefore, Mrs. Lan liked it more and more, and then praised it.

"My daughter is beautiful! Even the Nine Heavens Fairy may not be able to compare with each other. ”

Such exaggerated rhetoric made Lan Xianya embarrassed.

She rarely goes out, and occasionally follows her mother to guest church meetings, and she just chats with some official wives and ladies.

It's true that I haven't seen a few better than her.

Therefore, Lan Xianya also affirmed herself in her heart.

Fingers stroked the placket of her blouse, and the smoothness of the silk thread gave her a little more confidence.

And Mrs. Lan said while the iron was hot.

"Mother also recreated a pair of jewelry for you in Jumbo Zhai, and the shopkeeper said that it was ready, do you want to go to the door to see it, or send them over?"

Lan Xianya naturally wants to go out, otherwise she will be trapped in this house every day.

It's a delicate flower, and it's going to be defeated.

Thinking of this, she said coquettishly.

"Good mother, let's take my daughter out with you. If he really entered the palace one day, wouldn't this be the last time his daughter went out? ”

When Mrs. Lan heard this, she also felt very reasonable.

So I agreed.

After Lan Xianya changed her clothes, the mother and daughter walked towards the door.

The men below had already prepared their chariots and horses, waiting for them to go.

The mother and daughter were talking and laughing, so lively.

Walking to the front yard, I happened to meet a scholar from Lan University who had just returned from outside.

He was followed by a young man with a raw face.

It is now the eve of the Spring Festival, so these days, there are strange men coming and going in the Lan Mansion from time to time.

Therefore, you don't have to guess much, you can also know that the young man born in this face is about a certain talent who is preparing for the exam.

entered the eyes of the Lan University scholars, so I invited them to come home to "cultivate" one or two.

Mrs. Lan and Lan Xianya did not shy away from it, and walked straight forward and said.

"The concubine has seen the master."

"The daughter has seen her father."

Scholar Lan nodded, and saw that they were wearing big hats and looked like they were going out, so he asked with a little curiosity.

"Madam, where are you taking Xianya?"

Mrs. Lan smiled and replied.

"The jewelry of Zhenbao Zhai is done, the concubine is elegant and picked, and in a few days it is not going to enter the palace for the draft, and it is not decent to line it with good jewelry."

"Well, Madame is right! Then choose it with your mother, and if there is something that is insufficient, send someone to the account office to get it. ”

Lan Xianya's entry into the palace is the biggest expectation of the Lan family now.

Naturally, everything has to be properly prepared.

"The daughter thanked her father."

After the three of them finished speaking, the man behind him spoke.

Obeying the rules, he bowed and saluted Mrs. Lan and said.
