In the eighteenth year of Jian'an, in July.

It is the hottest time of the year, walking all the way from the southwest to the capital, even if the people of the Zhenguo Mansion take the official road, the road is dusty, and people and horses are inevitably sleepy.

Fortunately, there was still some time before the birthday of the old prince, and the days were quite easy, so he was not in a hurry.

There were nearly 100 strong government soldiers escorting this way, but nothing happened.

The afterglow of the setting sun reflected half of the sky, the golden sunlight sprinkled on Wan Jinlan's face, beads of sweat on her forehead, and at this time, a gust of breeze blew, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

In this kind of weather, she is more willing to wear men's clothes and ride a horse to follow the convoy than to sit in a carriage and swing around.

Although there is more dust in the face every day, it is much more comfortable than being swayed in a carriage and trying to vomit.

Seeing the post station ahead, the convoy stopped.

Wan Jinlan got off the horse, got to the carriage, and jumped up with a dexterous jump.

The carriage looked unremarkable on the outside, but it was very comfortable on the inside.

The window is a breathable bamboo curtain, and there is a soft couch inside, on which is covered with a thick snow-white fur blanket, and a long several, with some snacks and snacks.

Aunt Cuiwen was gently fanning Shen Qing with a fan, looking at her with a gentle smile.

Shen Qing saw that his girl jumped up like this, and her willow eyebrows frowned, "Lan'er, this place is only a few days away from the capital, and it is almost Kyoto, so you can be more restrained in your style." ”

Shen Qing also has a headache, although she was not born in a high-ranking family for generations, she was also born in a rich nest in the south of the Yangtze River.

Shen Qing self-denial and etiquette, behaved moderately, and educated her only daughter like this since she was a child, but her girl didn't learn a single thing from her.

In the past two years in the southwest, she has been a girl who has been out of the city with the prince of Zhenguo and her brother every day, and sometimes she disguises herself as a man and mixes in the army.

Shen Qing just thought about it, and his gentle face was a little sad.

Wan Jinlan looked at his light men's clothes, made a strange face, and hugged Shen Qing's arm.

She always felt that she was not close enough when she called "mother", so in private, she called Shen Qing directly "mother".

"Mother, how many times have you said it, I really wrote it down, and when I entered the post house, I changed back into women's clothes, and I must be cautious in my words and deeds in the future."

Wan Jinlan said, and then moved to smooth Shen Qing's frowning brows.

Shen Qing is a standard Jiangnan native, with a body frame not as tall as a northern woman, but small and exquisite, with a face like a full moon, gentle eyebrows, delicate complexion, and unhurried when speaking, with the delicate softness of a Jiangnan woman, even if she reprimands people, she does not have much power.

Shen Qing is a person who has given birth to two sons and a daughter, seven out of thirty, but he doesn't look like he is in his twenties.

Wan Jinlan's relationship with his mother has nothing to say.

Shen Qing said that it was normal for her to be unruly, and seeing her behaving like a little daughter at this time, how could she continue to talk about it, but she still said: "I don't know about you? It's all perfunctory to say one thing on the lips, and another set in private. ”

Aunt Cuiwen smiled and said: "The girl is sensible and filial, but she is perfunctory Mrs., and Mrs. is also happy in her heart." ”

Wan Jinlan smiled, "Aunt Cui, you slandered me, I didn't mean to be perfunctory." ”

Shen Qing glanced at her, "Smile without showing your teeth." ”

Wan Jinlan hurriedly closed her mouth, and then hurriedly helped Shen Qing to get up.

The servant had already put the stool under his head with a good eye.

The group got out of the carriage and entered the post house.

The afterglow of the setting sun is gone, and it is already twilight.

The chirping of mosquitoes and birds outside was particularly obvious at night, and Wan Jinlan bathed in the room with the noisy sound of the summer night.

In Wan Jinlan's eyes, her mother must be a beauty, with a fair complexion, a greasy face, a petite figure, a delicate body, and a charm of her own when her brows are frowning.

And Wan Jinlan did not inherit her mother's appearance, and now she is not yet in time, but she is already about the same height as Shen Qing, and her father and brother have said that at her age, she can grow a lot more in the future.

Compared with her mother, not only is her body shape different, but her face is also very different from the gentle and beautiful Shen Qing.

The skin is still quite white, but Shen Qing's face looks like that kind of chaste temperament, and her pair of Danfeng eyes with upward tails, coupled with the bridge of her nose, presents a completely different appearance from Shen Qing.

If it is said that it is not similar to Shen Qing in the slightest, then it is not, if it is said to be like her father Zhen Guogong, it is also a little.

But because of her red phoenix eyes, the grandmother in the house likes her the most among all the sisters in the family.

The grandmother said that her face was two points similar to her when she was young, and five points similar to the noble concubine aunt in the palace because of these eyes.

After bathing, he put on a snow-white undershirt and sat in front of the bronze mirror to smear his body and face.

The maid Chuntao took a cloth towel and wried her hair.

"The girl's black and thick hair is envious when she sees it."

Wan Jinlan casually picked up a small box of head oil on the table, "Ran out of the previous ones?" I'll give you another box. ”

Chun Tao grew up with her since she was a child, and although she is a master and servant, she has always been very good to her.

Chun Tao shook her head, touched her yellowed hair, and said depressedly: "It's a waste of these good things that the girl gives to the maid, my hair, with these head oils, will only become more and more yellow, and it will be yellow and bright." ”

Wan Jinlan snorted and laughed, "It's also strange, you and I have eaten a lot of flax porridge together, how can my hair get darker and darker, and yours is still as yellow as ever." ”

Wan Jinlan once suspected that Chun Tao might have Hu blood, and in the southwest market, there were occasional Hu slave sellers, and their hair was yellow, and they were full of beards, which looked very sloppy and had a lot of body odor.

But in addition to her yellow hair, Chuntao's face is not as deep as that of Hu Ren, and she still looks like a Han person.

Chun Tao pursed her lips aggrievedly.

She fled to Yangzhou when she was a child, was bought back to the house by her wife, and brought to Kyoto, grew up with the girl since she was a child, and the food was much better than the little lady of the flat-headed people's family, and even the rare thing such as flax The girl was willing to give her to eat, and a few taels of silver and a box of head oil were also willing to give her to use, but her hair was still yellow and yellow, and she seemed to have never eaten a full meal and her body was empty.

Don't look at Wan Jinlan in Shen Qing's mouth, she seems to be an unruly, she loves to wear men's clothes to go out, in fact, she is a girl who loves to be clean and exquisite.

As the daughter of the Changfang of the Zhenguo Mansion, she was naturally pampered and raised.

Although Shen Qing was born in a business, he is not ambiguous at all in terms of food and clothing, but he is very particular.

Wan Jinlan is definitely a mother and daughter with Shen Qing in terms of eating and using.
