Chapter 199 Extra Story: Wei Ruo catkins blow up by the wind
Chapter 199 Extra: Not as good as a catkin blowing in the wind (1)
In the eighth year of Yuanhe, early February.
The entire city of Shengjing has just faded from the color of snow, and the green buds have not yet been pulled out from the branches.
Everywhere looked bare.
In the Grand Scholar's Mansion, the servants are currently sweeping away the snow and holding lamps.
In the elegant and beautiful courtyard, a scarlet girl sat on the porch.
A white fox fur cloak wrapped her tightly, revealing a very delicate face.
The maids beside her were waiting on her, trying to put coals near her feet.
But she refused.
"Miss, I've worn enough. I don't like the smell of charcoal fire. Take it away."
There was a "you think I'm stupid" look in his eyes, but he still patted her shoulder.
"I have met the master."
"Good mother, you'd better take your daughter out with you. If she really enters the palace, won't this be the last time your daughter goes out?"
Unfortunately, the eldest lady of the Lan family did not intend to give her this opportunity. Instead, she took a volume of poetry and read it seriously.
The mother and daughter were chatting and laughing, it was so lively.
"Okay, if you go to Jiangnan by then, how about I find you a son-in-law from Jiangnan? Miss, how about you go see the vast world for me that I have never seen?"
And behind him was an unfamiliar young man.
So I agreed.
The winter in Shengjing City is too long, unlike in the south of the Yangtze River, it comes slowly and leaves early.
Seeing that her daughter is about to enter the palace and become a concubine, it is a great thing for Yu Lan.
It's true that I haven't seen anyone who is more outstanding than her.
On the other hand, Zhuiyun next to her comforted her and said.
Said funnyly.
When I walked to the front yard, I happened to meet the Bachelor of Lan University who had just returned from outside.
Stomping his feet, he said angrily with embarrassment.
Sure enough, once she put it on, this dress perfectly matched her overall aura.
As I walked, the butterfly flowers at my feet seemed to come alive, making people unable to take my eyes away from them.
Mrs. Lan and Lan Xianya didn't shy away from it, they walked forward and said.
"The jewelry from Zhenbaozhai is ready. I'm going to pick it out wearing Xianya. I won't be entering the palace in a few days. It's not decent if I don't order good jewelry to complement it."
"Miss! I won't talk to you anymore."
Therefore, you don't need to guess too much to know that the young man you met here is probably a scholar from somewhere who is preparing for the exam.
Lan Xianya liked this dress very much and quickly put it on.
Mrs. Lan smiled and replied.
A dress made of intricately crafted lake blue silk with embroidered butterfly patterns pops into view.
At first glance, it's obvious that it's been done with care.
The embroidery color combination of three blues and three greens looks ordinary at first, but after looking at it for a while, it feels elegant and fresh.
Every time she read this sentence, she would always pause for a moment.
"Madam, where are you taking Xianya to?"
After saying that, he asked the nanny beside him to bring the clothes up.
Her fingers touched the bodice of her shirt, and the smoothness of the silk thread gave her a little more confidence.
Therefore, Mrs. Lan liked it more and more the more she watched it, and then she praised it highly.
Fortunately, the cloak was thick enough, so her hands and feet were not cold.
Lan Xianya glanced at Zhuiyun and suddenly chuckled.
"Miss, please don't be sad. We will definitely have a chance in the future. I heard that the emperor likes the east and south tours. If you enter the palace and gain favor, you will naturally go with him. Don't say that it is
Jiangnan, I’m afraid the other places are not a big deal either.”
"Hey, what did the girls say to make you so happy?"
I am afraid that the spring water has melted now, and the willow branches on both sides of the bank will be ready to sprout.
If she is ill now, and if the master and his wife blame her, what should she do?
Thinking about it, I decided to say a few words of persuasion.
Thinking of this, she said coquettishly.
This dress was specially made by the embroiderer of Yunxiu Pavilion.
Academician Lan nodded and saw that they were wearing long cloaks and looked like they were about to go out, so he asked with a bit of curiosity.
It is now the eve of spring, so in these days, strange men come and go from time to time in Lan Mansion.
Chasing the moon is a bit difficult. If the lady gets cold, wouldn't it be troublesome?
I kept thinking about the beautiful scenery of Jiangnan in my mind.
"My daughter is very beautiful! Even the Nine Heavens Fairy who comes to earth may not be able to compare with her."
Mrs. Lan, who had just come in from outside, was in a good mood when she saw this scene.
"Well, Madam is right! Then Xianya and your mother can choose carefully. If there is not enough, send someone to the accounting office to get it."
The bottom of the dress is densely embroidered with a pattern of butterfly love flowers.
The Lan family has always been proud of Lan Xianya's appearance and demeanor.
"that was nice scenery at Jiang Nan, met you again in autumn."
Mrs. Lan didn't notice anything and entered the house with her daughter with a smile.
Such exaggerated remarks actually made Lan Xianya feel a little embarrassed.
So he stretched out his hand to hold the hairpin in her bun, and then said with a smile.
It took half a year and a total of eight embroiderers to put their best efforts into it.
Therefore, Lan Xianya is very confident about herself.
The people below have already prepared their carriages and horses, waiting for them to go.
Lan Xianya laughed so hard that she couldn't even straighten up.
"My mother also made a new pair of jewelry for you in Zhenbaozhai. The shopkeeper said it is ready. Do you want to come and see it, or send them to deliver it?"
After saying this, Lan Xianya felt a little sad.
Lan Xianya naturally wanted to go out, otherwise she would be stuck at home every day.
After saying this, he turned around and went to the house to make the bed.
"The daughter has met her father."
Lan Xianya's entry into the palace is the biggest hope of the Lan family now.
There is still one month left for the palace draft, and with the young lady’s beauty and family background, she will definitely stay.
The furnishings in the house were as elegant and polite as ever. Mrs. Lan looked at her carefully raised daughter, and the more she looked at her, the more she liked it.
"I've never been anywhere in my life, I'm stuck in this four-dimensional world."
She rarely goes out, and occasionally goes to the living room with her mother to chat with some official ladies.
"The clothes for the palace draft have been sewn. I'll hurry up and give them to you to try. If there's anything wrong, there's still time to correct them."
"Mom is here? Come on, come in and sit down!"
After Lan Xianya changed her clothes, mother and daughter headed out the door.
She is not happy to let her family know that she likes to sit on the porch and read, without having to be arranged again.
Mrs. Lan said, striking while the iron is hot.
Even a delicate flower will fail.
Zhuiyun blushed when she said this.
After hearing this, Mrs. Lan also felt that it made sense.
He caught the eye of the bachelor of Lan University, so he invited him back home to "train" him.
Naturally, everything must be prepared properly.
"The daughter thanked her father."
After the three of them finished speaking, the unfamiliar man behind them spoke.
Observing the rules, he bowed and saluted Mrs. Lan and said.
