Red makeup against the world

Chapter 288 Xiaoman
Hearing this, Sun Zhitao was not discouraged, and his eyes lit up with fighting spirit: "As long as my mother agrees, I will study in the academy, and I will try my best to win it." This is what he said.

Mrs. Sun saw that she couldn't dissuade her, so she had no choice but to say: "You need to ask your father's opinion on this matter."

"Don't worry about it, baby, I'll write to Dad now."

After leaving the room, he silently calculated in his heart that if things go well, he will be able to arrive in Beijing at the end of July. The twice-yearly autumn exams of "Songxi Academy" are in September, and there is exactly one month to prepare.

……

Two days later, Xiaoman Festival.

The two sides of the Luoshui River are very lively, and the grand scene reappears.The yamen servants of Jingzhao Mansion organized various teams to patrol here.

As soon as the gate of "Anxi Gate" was opened, the carriage of Duke An's Mansion sped out and headed straight for the Tu family's mansion.

Xu Wanzhen got up early in the morning, and after taking herbal diet, she changed into the dress she was going out with.So I went to Mrs. Xu's room to say hello and chat with my grandmother.

After a while, Qing Mai came to report: "Report to Madam and Miss, the carriage from An Guogong's mansion has arrived."

Mrs. Xu gave her some advice before letting her go.

Sangzi helped Xu Wanzhen into the carriage, and the man driving the carriage smiled and said, "Miss Xu, sit still!" He raised his whip and headed towards Luoyang City.

Compared with the simplicity of the Tu family's carriage, the carriage of Duke Anguo's mansion is spacious and comfortable.There are tea and pastries in the hidden compartment in the car, Xu Wanzhen is thinking that Xu Wanzhen is not in good health yet, so she specially prepared silk mattress and thin quilt so that she can take a nap.

Sang Zi smiled and said: "Miss, we should also use this for our own carriages in the future." Miss is weak, so naturally the carriage should be as comfortable as possible.

Xu Wanzhen smiled slightly: "Okay, I will tell Elder Brother when we move back to Jiashanfang."

The roads in ancient times were not smooth enough. Although horse-drawn carriages were already a means of transportation that only wealthy families could afford, they did not do well in comfort such as shock absorption.After sitting for a period of time, people will be shaken apart, and they have to spend energy to maintain balance. After getting off the carriage, everyone will have backaches.

How is it like in modern TV dramas, where the lady sits safely in the car and can cook tea and read a book?Not afraid of astigmatism.

Xu Wan secretly slandered from the bottom of her heart, thinking about going back to Jiashanfang, Xu Wenyu had to take a carriage every day to school.He is still young, so traveling back and forth like this, the means of transportation should be more comfortable.

There was already a commotion outside the carriage, Sangzi secretly opened the curtain of the carriage and said, "Miss, we are almost here."

The colorful sheds of the four major kingdoms are lined up side by side, next to the eminent monk's Dharma Assembly.The location here is the best, and it is an excellent location for watching the scenery, listening to the Fa, and releasing animals.

Of course, the locations better than the Duke's Mansion are the colorful sheds of the Prince's Mansion, Prince Qi's Mansion, Princess Chu and Princess Mansion.They are both princes, even if they don't get along in private, on such occasions, they still show love for each other.

It's just that looking at the three colorful sheds lined up in the Prince's Mansion, he looks more and more lonely.She slandered in her heart: "Empress Cao has no other skills, but she is not inferior to others in childbirth. It is obvious that her father only rests with her for two days a month. Including her prince who died young, she gave birth to four children in total, and the population is thriving. Tight."

For the color sheds of the Duke’s Mansion, Dingguo’s Mansion is the first, followed by Zhongguo’s Mansion, Anguo’s Mansion, and Pingguo’s Mansion.This ranking shows the current status of the four major kingdoms in the DPRK.

The carriage stopped in front of the color shed of Duke Anguo's mansion, and Sangzi helped Xu Wanzhen get out of the carriage.

Qing Lu greeted her from the shed, smiled and saluted, and said, "Miss Xu is here, please come in quickly. My wife has been talking about it for a long time."

Xu Wanzhen followed her into the colorful shed, and first bowed to An Guogong and the Zhuang family: "I have seen my adoptive father and adoptive mother. Zhener is late, and my foster father and adoptive mother have been waiting for a long time."

Then he saluted the eldest daughter Shi Jingyu and the second daughter Shi Jingfu of An Guogong's mansion: "I have seen the eldest sister and the second sister." At the peony flower party, she met the second daughter face to face.

Shi Jingze watched her come in and salute, and felt a bitterness in his heart.Such a beautiful woman has been her righteous sister ever since.Forget it, the righteous sister is the righteous sister, and I will protect her myself in the future.

Xu Wanzhen greeted him, and she remembered his helping hand in Xinghualin.Unexpectedly, he turned out to be his righteous brother.

After she greeted everyone one by one, Mrs. Zhuang pulled her in front of him and said, "You child, you are so polite. You live at the foot of Mount Mang now, and it takes half an hour for a carriage to come here. That's not counting as entering the city. Time, of course, came later."

She turned her head and said, "Jingyu, Jingfu, take Zhen'er to meet Duke Ding, Duke Zhong and Duke Ping."

The main purpose of having Xu Wanzhen here today is to make her official debut on this occasion, to confirm her status as the righteous daughter of the Duke of Anguo.Visiting other dukes' mansions is just the first step.

Before coming, the Zhuang family had already entrusted the task to the two daughters.The matter is of great importance, even if today is the first official meeting of the three sisters, they have to act intimately, which has confirmed the rumor that "Xu Wanzhen has long been the adopted daughter of the Zhuang family".

Shi Jingyu has a slender figure, with a swan-like neck, and every gesture reveals the dignity of the eldest lady of the Duke's Mansion.

She smiled slightly, and stepped forward to take Xu Wanzhen's hand. There is no such thing as a biological girl whom you met for the first time. The eldest sister will take you to visit the elders first, and then talk to your mother when you come back. "

Shi Jingfu is only 11 years old, which is the age of innocence and romance.She giggled, leaned forward and said, "So you are our righteous sister, let's go."

The three of them put on their veiled hats and walked out of the color shed together, with their respective maids following behind, and the eyes of the crowd outside the color shed swept over intentionally or unintentionally.

A few days ago, there were many rumors about Shi Jingze and Xu Wanzhen. Later, when the rumors changed, Xu Wanzhen became the adoptive daughter whom the Zhuang family had long recognized.When she got out of the car just now, she had attracted everyone's attention, so it was even more important to see what happened at this time.

Seeing the three women coming out hand in hand, many people believed in Xu Wanzhen's identity as the adopted daughter.

The three of them first went to the colorful shed on Duke Ding's mansion, where the women's family members and the Shi family sisters had been acquainted since childhood.

Shi Jingyu first introduced Xu Wanzhen to Duke Ding and Mrs. Li, who said with a smile, "In the princess mansion, I think this child is a good one. He looks upright and talented. I never thought there would be such a fate."

As Empress Cao's mother-in-law, Li Shi naturally supported An Guogong's resolute refusal to board the prince's ship, and looked at Xu Wanzhen more and more pleasing to the eye.

The three sisters of the Cao family were talking with the two sisters of the Shi family. Although the political positions of the two families were different, there was no fundamental conflict, and it did not hinder the communication of these juniors.

As the eldest sister, Cao Qinghui smiled and said: "In this way, we have another good sister. Sister Xu, we need to have more contacts in the future."

Xu Wanzhen responded: "My younger sister has admired my older sister's demeanor for a long time, as long as I don't think my younger sister is ignorant, I will definitely come to bother you in the future."
