shock!She can travel through time

Chapter 142
"Is this me?" Xiao Ronghua looked at himself in the bronze mirror and muttered to himself, unable to move his gaze away from the bronze mirror.

It has to be said that every young girl is a potential beauty, and she will be bright and moving with a little dressing up, because youth is the most beautiful appearance.

Xiao Qingyu blinked her big eyes and boasted: "Auntie is so beautiful with makeup! Hey, when will I become an adult? If only I were an adult, adults can wear makeup."

Lin Wanwan smiled and pulled her into her arms, saying, "Oh my little Yu'er, why are you so funny?"

"Hmph, I'm not funny." Xiao Qingyu thought Lin Wanwan was laughing at him, and suddenly became unhappy, Lin Wanwan hugged her and laughed again.

After a long while, Xiao Ronghua came back to his senses, looking at Lin Wanwan's put away makeup box hesitant to speak, but at this moment Xiao Jingkun came to urge them again.

"Sisters, are you all dressed up? It's the last moment, and it's time for us to set off. While the weather is fine, we can enjoy the beautiful scenery in Mrs. Lu's garden."

Xiao Ronghua walked out of the main room and responded: "Brother, we are all fine."

Xiao Jingkun looked up to see his sister who had taken on a new look, and said in surprise: "With such a dress, my fourth mother is actually very beautiful. Not bad, Madam Lu will definitely praise you when she sees you put so much effort into it."

Xiao Ronghua bowed his head and smiled slightly, it was not easy to get a compliment from his own brother.

When everyone gathered at the gate, several sisters saw the radiant Xiao Ronghua today, they looked sideways, this is an ugly duckling turned into a swan!

The twin sister Xiao Liwei stepped forward and asked curiously: "What kind of powder did my sister use to apply the face today, and why is it so docile and beautiful?"

Xiao Ronghua lowered her head in embarrassment, looked at Lin Wanwan when she heard the words, and said in a low voice: "Cousin Wanwan made it for me."

All the sisters immediately surrounded Lin Wanwan to ask questions, but were stopped by several elder brothers.

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it later. Get in the carriage first. It's cold outside. Be careful and get a headache if the wind blows too much."

Xiao Jingkun hurriedly said: "That's right, get on the carriage quickly, let's go. Mrs. Lu doesn't like people who are late, everyone hurry up."

The five gentlemen of the Xiao family naturally wanted to ride horses regardless of the severe cold—the most fashionable means of transportation for men in the Tang Dynasty was tall horses, and unless there were special circumstances, men who rode in carriages would be despised to the end.

Two aunts, four ladies, Lin Wanwan and Xiao Qingyu squeezed into three carriages, and the servants sat in the front of the carriage holding salutes and headed towards the Qiantang County Government Office.

Because it was a private visit, naturally they would not enter through the majestic and gloomy gate of the county government office. A group of people came to the small door in the back garden for the family members to enter and exit, and knocked on the door.

A servant waiting here had already stepped forward to take away the horses and carriages, leading everyone to walk through the garden. Lin Wanwan enjoyed the scenery in the garden with a sense of freshness. Compared with the place where Xiao Chong lived, there was a huge gap.

The county government office in Hu County gives people a sense of deserted and secluded residence, while the county government office in Qiantang is decorated with colorful flowers, rich and enchanting, not inferior to the fairyland of Yaochi. Obviously, the owner who lives here has spent a lot of effort on this aspect, This is probably the difference between having a hostess butler.

Xiao Jingkun led the crowd to explain the interior layout in detail, there was nothing he didn't understand about verandas, mountains, rocks and trees.If you don't know the inside story, you may think that he is the master who lives here.

As soon as they entered the main hall, the timid brothers and sisters Xiao Ronghua and Xiao Haolin were already tense. The impression that Mrs. Lu left on them was quite cold and severe.

But Lin Wanwan didn't have so many burdens in her heart. Although the other party was a noble daughter from the direct line of the Xiao family, and now she was the county magistrate's wife, she was a law-abiding citizen, so why panic?Pure power is not enough to make her afraid, this is the idea that the modern concept of the rule of law that everyone is equal has instilled in her since she was a child.

She wasn't even afraid of the county magistrate, would she be afraid of the female relatives who depended on the county magistrate?

Following the maid who welcomed guests into the main room, and then to the side room where Mrs. Lu and her children rested daily, the maid opened the curtain, and a burst of warm air with the scent of sandalwood rushed towards her face.

Lin Wanwan finally saw the true face of the majestic and unattainable Madam Lu who Xiao Jingkun talked about.

The woman in front of her was rich and noble, in her early thirties, with exquisite features, but the thick layer of powder on her face lowered her appearance, and Lin Wanwan couldn't help but worry that the powder would fall off if the other party moved slightly, which would be embarrassing up.

But Lin Wanwan's worries were obviously superfluous. When she saw the visitor, this dignified lady got up to greet her with the help of her maid, her makeup firmly stuck to her face without any change.Everyone in the Xiao family naturally looked flattered, but Lin Wanwan was much more indifferent.

In the ear room, in addition to Mrs. Lu, there is also a beautiful girl in a beautiful dress, who must be the daughter of the county magistrate Lu.At this time, she was casting her sizing eyes on Lin Wanwan, and the two looked at each other, Lin Wanwan smiled at him, but the latter casually looked away, but did not respond, Lin Wanwan did not take it as disobedience.

After the guests and hosts were seated, Xiao Jingkun took the initiative to undertake the etiquette task of introducing each other. Although the introduction to Mrs. Lu was flattering as always, it was generally decent.

The daughter of County Magistrate Lu is called Lu Ying'er, she is fifteen years old, and although she and Xiao Chong are cousins, they have no similarities in appearance, but Mrs. Lu's appearance is still a little bit close to Xiao Chong.

Mrs. Lu stared at Lin Wanwan for a while, then suddenly asked, "Are you still working as a female doctor?"

The female doctors of the Tang Dynasty were not as respected by society as the female doctors of later generations. On the contrary, the social status of female doctors was very low, and most of them were served by slaves.When the other party asked such a question, it was obvious that they didn't think highly of Lin Wanwan.

The other party spoke Mandarin, and Lin Wanwan could barely understand it after following Mrs. Chen for a while, but she had difficulty in the conversation, so she calmly replied in the local dialect of Shan County: "It's good to hang the pot to help the world, but I'm not good enough at the lower level, and I never thought about formally practicing medicine." .”

Mrs. Lu showed a reserved smile on her face, and said slowly: "You don't have to be too modest, you cured the disease of the ovary before, and you are kind to our Xiao family. Now that I have come to Qiantang today, I naturally want to use the ovary Thank you very much for your status as an elder. Come here, take that phoenix rhinoceros hairpin and give it to Wanniang Lin."

"Here." The maid beside Deling stepped back.

Lin Wanwan declined: "Ma'am, you are too polite. The next one is not the only one who has dedicated himself to treating my cousin. I dare not take the credit alone, let alone accept the gift."

Mrs. Lu suppressed her smile a little, and said: "The gift from the elders is irresistible, so there is no need to say too much."

Lin Wanwan showed an awkward but polite smile, got up and took the gift from the maid who returned with the brocade box, thanked her, and then sat down.
