I didn't become a princess today

Chapter 303 First Arrival in Cangzhou
When Wei Yan came back, Shen Yuan had already woken up, "Are you going on your way?"

Wei Yan came over, squatted down, and put the shoes on for Shen Yuan. The movements were not very skilled, but the strength was very gentle, "Let's go after breakfast. If you want to eat, let Xinsu buy it."

Shen Yuan thought for a while and said, "Xiaolongbao."

"Okay." Wei Yan smiled and picked her up.

The weather was getting colder and colder, and it was late autumn in a blink of an eye. Wei Yan wanted to buy a carriage to drive, but Shen Yuan refused.

"I'm not that delicate yet, I can bear it." Shen Yuan pursed her lips and said to Wei Yan.

If it was a carriage, it would definitely take a few more days.

The four of them continued on their way, leaving Jinling City and heading all the way to Cangzhou, without wasting any time on the way, they entered Cangzhou one step faster than Wei Su and the others.

Cangzhou is not as prosperous as Chang'an City and Jinling City, but the people can live and work in peace and contentment here, and the folk customs are simple.

Cangzhou is somewhat different from other states and counties in the Ming Dynasty. There is a city lord under the direct jurisdiction of the emperor. This is also to cover up the military training ground. It has been like this for a hundred years.

The current Cangzhou city lord, Song Chengwen, has been in office for more than ten years without any major disturbances, and he is favored by Emperor Yunjing.

After entering Cangzhou, Shen Yuan turned her head and whispered in Wei Yan's ear: "All the dowry I prepared for myself has arrived in Cangzhou."

Wei Yan frowned slightly, and said, "When did you prepare a dowry for yourself?"

Shen Yuan smiled and said, "I met you when I was four years old."

At first I saved my favorite toys, then I saved some self-made female celebrities, and when I grew up, I saved money...

Until now, what she has seriously saved is enough to fill a bank.

"My people have been waiting in Cangzhou for a long time, and have also bought a house. Shall we live there? Or do you have other plans?" Shen Yuan asked.

Wei Yan patted her head and said: "Let's go to the City Lord's Mansion first, and then you can live in the City Lord's Mansion or your own mansion. I may often live in the barracks during my military training."

There are rules in the barracks, so naturally you can't just take Shen Yuan in casually.

Although Shen Yuan felt reluctance in her heart, she still nodded, "I'll stay with myself, you don't have to worry about me, I will obediently wait for you to come back."

Although the City Lord's Mansion is good, it is not his home after all.

"Okay, then I will send more people to protect you." Wei Yan is most worried about Shen Yuan's safety, as it is easy to hide a spear with an open gun, but it is difficult to defend against an arrow with a hidden arrow.

Shen Yuan looked at the streets around Cangzhou. Because Cangzhou is surrounded by mountains on three sides and the transportation is inconvenient, there are very few contacts with the outside world, and the things sold are very simple.The dresses and jewelry sold in the shop can be said to be outdated styles if you take them to Chang'an or Jinling to see.

Wei Yan took Shen Yuan to the Cangzhou City Lord's Mansion. Song Chengwen had been waiting at the door for a long time, and when he saw Wei Yan, he rushed over to greet him.

Because it was inconvenient to reveal Wei Yan's identity, he could only change his words and say, "Your Majesty has seen the young master."

Wei Yan nodded, and then led Shen Yuan and the others into the City Lord's Mansion.

The City Lord's Mansion is not as gorgeous and extravagant as imagined, but it is elegant and exquisite everywhere.

Shen Yuan recalled what she had found out about Song Chengwen before. 30 years ago, he participated in the scientific examination and became an official. He was originally an official in the capital, but later he was transferred to a local office by Emperor Yun Jing, and he was loved by the people.The common people called him stern and selfless, and was later appointed by Emperor Yunjing to take over the position of Cangzhou city lord. Song Chengwen did not disappoint Emperor Yunjing, and he was diligent and conscientious in his tenure.

Over the years, I haven't heard any bad comments about him.

Song Chengwen and Wei Yan wanted to discuss important matters, and it was naturally inconvenient for Shen Yuan to follow, so Song Chengwen asked his daughter-in-law Xu to entertain her.

"Mrs. Wei, how about we go sit in the garden?" Mrs. Xu came from a scholarly family, elegant and generous. She is over 30 years old, but she still has charm.

Shen Yuan was stunned for a moment when she heard Xu's name for her. This was the first time someone called her Mrs. Wei, and she quickly responded: "Okay."

Song Chengwen said to Xu again: "When Zhi'er comes back, let him come directly to the study."

"Yes, father-in-law." The Zhi'er that Song Chengwen said was his eldest son, that is, Xu's husband.

Wei Yan helped Shen Yuan close up the cloak, and said, "I'll pick you up soon, ma'am."

With red ears, Shen Yuan nodded.

What did she suddenly call her madam...

In the past, Shen Yuan was always shouting, but suddenly she was called Mrs., and she really didn't feel comfortable with it.

Mrs. Xu knew the identities of Wei Yan and Shen Yuan, and when she saw their affectionate look, she smiled from the bottom of her heart.

"Young master, please don't worry." Mrs. Xu saluted Wei Yan, and then took Shen Yuan down.

The nine-curved corridor in the garden of the City Lord's Mansion was ingeniously built. Mrs. Xu brought Shen Yuan to a small pavilion in the corridor, and hung a light gauze curtain around it to keep out the wind. Mrs. Xu asked someone to add two stoves , I don't feel cold anymore.

"Mrs. Wei can take off her mask now, the minister won't talk nonsense." Mrs. Xu waved away the other servants, and said to Shen Yuan.

Shen Yuan didn't like wearing a mask all the time, so she took off the mask after hearing what Xu said.

Xu knows that Shen Yuan is known as the number one beauty in Chang'an, seeing her today, she is so beautiful that even a woman can be moved.

"Dare to ask Mrs. Wei's age?" Seeing that Shen Yuan was not very old, Mrs. Xu felt a little curious.

"Seventeen." Shen Yuan didn't dislike Xu Shi, she could feel Xu Shi's kindness towards her.

Mrs. Xu smiled and said: "Mrs. Wei is one year older than my daughter. My daughter is sixteen years old. She is usually naughty and active. Up to now, she has not even settled on a marriage."

"Mrs. Song is a beauty, and Ms. Song must be pretty good too. Why can't you find a marriage that suits you?" Shen Yuan replied.

Xu Shi was coaxed into laughter by Shen Yuan's words. She thought that Shen Yuan would be a bit airy as the princess of Prince Qin, but now she saw that she was unexpectedly easy to get along with.

Although not to the point of heart-to-heart talk, on the surface it is easy to talk.

"Thanks to Mrs. Wei's good words, the little girl is lively. Mrs. Wei has no friends to talk to when she first arrived in Cangzhou. If Mrs. Wei doesn't dislike it, she can often go out with the little girl." Xu's words were also tactful, in fact He also has his own selfishness. After all, there are only advantages and no disadvantages in making friends with the princess and concubine of Qin Wang.

Shen Yuan smiled and agreed.

Xu said again: "My wife has already arranged the yard for you, why don't Mrs. Wei go with my wife to see if you are satisfied and if there are any things you need to buy."

Shen Yuan smiled apologetically, and said, "I'm sorry to bother you so much, my husband and I don't live in the City Lord's Mansion, we have already bought a house outside, so I will trouble you."

Xu felt a little pity in her heart, but she could only respond softly.

"Mother, mother, I heard that there are guests at home!" A pleasant and lively voice came, and Shen Yuan looked up.
