Daughter of General

Chapter 3 Escape
When no one was around, Shen Yulan opened the wooden box.

There are not many things in the wooden box, just a stack of papers, and a few gold hairpins and gold bracelets.Shen Yulan played with the hairpin and bracelet carefully, and found that they were not light in weight. If they were exchanged for money, they should be able to exchange a lot.

After putting down the gold, Shen Yulan looked at the papers again.After just one glance, she immediately understood—these are silver notes.Each one was in denomination of 100 taels, and after counting it again, there were actually thirteen of them, that is, 300 taels of silver.

Because she didn't know the value of the silver, Shen Yulan didn't know how much wealth these silver could be considered for a while.However, she understood what Wu meant—this should be all of Wu's property, and it was left for her to live and live.

There is also a plain silver hairpin under the wooden box, which is very light in weight. The head of the hairpin is in the shape of a small magnolia flower, bright as new, it seems that it should be played with frequently.Needless to say, this is naturally Wu's too.

However, Mrs. Wu put this silver hairpin together with the precious silver ticket and gold, but she didn't know why.Does it have a special meaning?
After thinking about it for a while, Shen Yulan still put the things in the box and put the box next to his pillow before falling asleep.

In the early morning of the second day, Master Jingru brought breakfast and soup over, and Shen Yulan told Master Jingru that he wanted to leave.I also thank Mrs. Jingru for taking care of me these few days.

Mrs. Jingru was a little worried, and persuaded her a while: "Miss is just recovering from a serious illness, and her body is still weak. I'm afraid it's not suitable to go on the road."

Shen Yulan lowered her head, "Don't hide from my teacher, my mother is going to go, I'm going back to the funeral. I can't even see each other for the last time and say goodbye to heaven and man forever. Riding a horse is fast, and it will be fine if you think about it Son."

Master Jingru's eyes widened in surprise, and then she chanted the Buddha's name in compassion.But I still disagree: "The girl is already as cold as her body, how can she be blown by the wind again? It's really inappropriate."

Shen Yulan smiled wryly; "This is something that can't be helped, and there's no way to find a carriage right now, isn't it. Let's make do if you can. Funeral is important, but other things can't be taken care of."

Master Jingru thought for a while, and then said: "That poor nun, go and report to the host, maybe the host may have something to do."

Shen Yulan couldn't help but thank her again.After Mrs. Jingru left, she put on her clothes and walked around the room to exercise her muscles.The past few days have been sleeping for too long, and I always feel that my body is a little stiff.

She even quietly stood at the door and opened a crack to look at the scenery outside.I saw that the eyes are all lush and green, or there are elegant flowers and trees dotted among them, smelling the faint sandalwood fragrance in the air, and feeling the quiet atmosphere, it makes people feel like they are in a fairyland in Taoyuan Come.

Shen Yulan's mood improved a lot.However, she didn't dare to stay at the door for too long, for fear that her condition would recur if the wind blows.Besides, there is still something to pack.

When she was packing her things, Shen Yulan remembered that she hadn't combed her hair yet.Looking down at the hair that was already hanging down to her waist, she couldn't help but smile - she used to have short hair to save trouble, and she combed it just to see her mood.Comb it if you think about it, and let it go if you don't think about it.But now, obviously, it's not going to work.

Fortunately, there was a mirror and a wooden comb in the room, so she hurriedly picked up the comb to comb her hair.As a result, after combing, I found that my hair had fallen asleep in the past few days, and it was almost knotted.I had to roughly unclog it with my fingers first, and then use a comb to comb it out a little bit, and comb it smoothly.

While combing her hair, Shen Yulan looked at herself from the dim bronze mirror.The facial features are not very outstanding, but they are somewhat similar to Wu's. The skin... should be fair.With a grin, the teeth are very neat, white and fine.Maybe it's the shine from the teeth, but after such a smile, it's much more colorful.

After watching for a while, Shen Yulan came to a conclusion.That is the good thing that time travel usually turns into a beautiful woman, but it really didn't happen to me.Such a face can only be described as handsome, but how wonderful it is...it's really hard to say.

After combing her hair, Shen Yulan didn't know how to do it, so she just loosely braided a whip and tied it with a hair rope, which was refreshing.

Clothes - there is only one piece, and what I am wearing now is still a dark suit.After thinking about it, Shen Yulan changed the clothes back, folded the black clothes and put them on the side of the bed.

Naturally, the box should be put away properly.Not surprisingly, these silvers are really the capital for her to settle down in this world.Poverty is more than a bitter fruit, Shen Yulan is well aware of the fact that a penny can't beat a hero.No matter what time it is, as long as you have money in your hands, you will be confident enough.

As soon as everything was settled, Wang Li came over. Wang Li also had a small bundle in his hand. He didn't know what it contained. He was dressed in short clothes and wore a bamboo hat on his head.He looked like an ordinary guy.In the crowd, it should be inconspicuous.

After Wang Li met Shen Yulan, he saluted respectfully, and then he opened the bag and took out something: "Miss, please put this veiled hat on, it can keep out the wind, and it won't be seen by others." go."

"En." Shen Yulan reached out to take it, studied it for a while, and then put it on.The veil is made of black gauze, and after wearing it, it will not completely block the line of sight, and you can still see the road.But it managed to cover her face.The black gauze was so long that it almost covered half of her body.

"Let's go." Shen Yulan took another look at himself and Wang Li, and felt that nothing was wrong, so he opened the door and stepped out of the room.

After walking two steps, he paused again, turned his head and asked Wang Li, "Do you have any silver with you?"

Wang Li was taken aback for a moment, although he didn't know what Shen Yulan wanted the silver for, he still readily took out a silver ingot.

Shen Yulan weighed it in his hand, but couldn't make up his mind, so he had to ask again: "Will it be less money for making incense in the nunnery?"

Wang Li was taken aback for another moment, and then explained: "There are two taels, less is a lot. It's just that according to the status of the eldest lady, it's not too much."

Shen Yulan thought in his heart, a lot would be fine.As for identity—who knows who she is?Just looking at her appearance, she is just a daughter of a well-to-do family.

Speaking of which, Shen Yulan really felt that her attire was not worthy of the title of daughter of the General's Mansion.She reckoned that maybe the girls in the general's mansion could dress similarly to her.

But it's not surprising to think about it, Wu is a country woman, even if her husband becomes a general, those deep-seated concepts will not change.As for vision - in the countryside, it is impossible to have too good things.

Shen Yulan asked Wang Li to take her to the main hall where the Buddha was enshrined, and was about to leave the silver and set off.

In the end, when I went to the main hall, I saw Master Jingru talking with several other masters.

Shen Yulan hurriedly stopped, clasped his hands together and performed a Buddhist salute, not daring to disturb her rashly.Throwing the silver into the wooden box dedicated to raising incense money, I looked up at the solemn Buddha statue.With a move in my heart, I went forward to kneel, kowtowed my head seriously, and prayed in my heart: "Buddha, if you are really alive, please bless me to go smoothly and safely."In the future, let me seek justice for Mrs. Wu.I would ask for nothing more.

"Amitabha." As soon as Shen Yulan stood up, he heard a solemn Buddha's name.Turning around to look, it turned out to be a teacher next to Mrs. Jingru who was dressed in a different color from the others.After thinking about it, she smiled and called out, "Master."

"The poor nun's still photo." The teacher's wife was also smiling, and she looked kindly and compassionate, and for a moment Shen Yulan thought of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"I have disturbed you a lot in the nunnery these days, thank you teachers for taking care of me." Shen Yulan saluted again, with a sincere tone.She is really grateful.

"It should be." Master Jingzhao sighed too, with loving eyes: "With your body, you really can't run around anymore. Otherwise, if you relapse, I'm afraid it's not good. It's just that you have a reason to leave, and we can't persuade you. It's just that there is a distinguished guest from the capital in our nunnery, and he is going back to Beijing after lunch. Just now, the poor nun discussed with that guest to see if it would be convenient for him to take you along. The guest agreed I'm just afraid that you will be wronged to be in the same car with the person who waits beside him."

Shen Yulan was overjoyed, and quickly shook her head: "No grievances, no grievances, it's great to be able to ride in a carriage. Besides, I'm not a noble person, let alone anything to be picky about." After a pause, He also sincerely thanked Mrs. Jingzhao and the other one: "I really don't know how to thank all the teachers."

Shen Yulan was really pleasantly surprised, as if she was going out to meet a nobleman.In fact, it is a great blessing for her and Wang Li to be able to return to the capital with the honored guests that Mrs. Jingzhao said.

Since Mrs. Jingzhao said she was an honored guest and had servants accompanying her, that person must have a high status.Not only is it much easier to enter the city, but the road is also much safer.If you mix in the opponent's convoy, you don't have to worry about being discovered by the enemy, right?

"Where is that distinguished guest now? Naturally, we should thank you face to face for helping us so much." Shen Yulan spoke again.

Mrs. Jingzhao shook her head, "You don't need to be so polite. You will see it when you leave. I'm afraid I won't see you when I go now."

Shen Yulan didn't insist anymore.After saying a few more words, he and Wang Li went back to the previous meditation room.

For such a good thing, Wang Li was a little worried: "The other party doesn't know who it is, and the eldest lady is so rash, is it a little hasty?"

Shen Yulan took a fixed look at Wang Li, and smiled wryly: "Then tell me, is there any other choice? It's more dangerous to go by yourself. Which one do you choose?"

Wang Li pursed his lips, but said nothing.
