Shulan looked at herself in the mirror and asked the excited Xiaocui beside her, "Do I look good?"
At this moment, she was wearing a simple men's outfit, but the material was very comfortable.
Although it wasn't the servant outfit she wanted, she liked it very much.
After she saw the two bearded brothers off, she was about to ask Uncle Rong where to buy men's clothing in town.
He then brought over several sets of men's clothing, all in dark colors, but surprisingly they fit her perfectly.
Not only her, but Xiao Cui also had one.
Even when dressed in men's clothing, he doesn't look like a boy.
Fortunately, she hadn't intended to dress as a man; it was just more convenient.
"It looks good, Miss looks good in anything." Xiao Cui was very excited. She looked around and whispered like a thief, "I think this general is not bad either."
Shulan watched as the little girl, who always reacted like a mouse to a cat whenever she saw the bearded man, deliberately asked, "Why?"
“My mother said that the General’s Mansion has no young and beautiful concubines or maids, not even young maids.”
Shulan did indeed notice that the women in the mansion were mostly middle-aged women and servants. When the clothes were delivered, it was Uncle Rong who brought his wife, Granny Lu, saying that Big Beard had specially sent someone to deliver the clothes she wanted.
If you need anything in the future, you can also ask Granny Lu. She is the head nanny of the household and a woman with a very good personality.
In just one afternoon and evening, she and Aunt Chen became acquainted.
Chen Ma was very happy to learn that neither of the two generals had concubines or maids and that they were usually chaste.
Seeing the little girl's smug look, Shulan smiled and said, "They are good people, but don't forget, my surname is Xie, so there's no need to have any other thoughts."
Xiao Cui was taken aback: "But...but..."
Shulan ruffled her hair and said, "Silly girl, the General and I are just cooperating. We will leave in the future, so we must recognize our position and not have any extra thoughts."
"Oh." Xiao Cui's voice was low, clearly feeling sorry for her mistress.
Their young lady is so good, why should she suffer such unfair treatment?
Seeing her like this, Shulan simply patted her head and said, "Don't worry, we can live well even if we're not in the General's Mansion."
She also felt that this state was the best. If she were to actually be married to the bearded man and have a married life, she couldn't do it.
Her idea is to earn enough money to leave within two years, then get away from here, find a suitable place to live, and live the life she wants.
He smiled and said, "Let's go."
"Okay." The little girl was happy at the thought of going out to play.
As soon as the master and servant left the courtyard, they saw Uncle Rong bringing over another boy, who looked about twelve or thirteen years old. He had an extremely ordinary appearance, the kind that you wouldn't notice in a crowd, and he looked quite honest.
Only after Uncle Rong introduced her did she realize that this was also a servant sent by He Da Hu Zi to help her familiarize herself with the border town.
Since they are two young girls, it would be more appropriate to arrange for a young boy to join them.
Besides, don't underestimate Shi Mo just because he's young. As a member of the Shadow faction, his skills can't be bad.
If anything were to happen, he and the second-year junior high student in the shadows could completely protect their lives.
He bowed respectfully and said, "Young Madam, I am Shimo. The young master has instructed me to stay by your side from now on. If you have any requests, please feel free to ask me to do them."
Shulan was truly surprised by the bearded man's thoughtfulness and was very grateful.
He said to the butler beside him, "Thank you so much, Uncle Rong. Please thank your young master for me."
Uncle Rong just smiled kindly: "This old servant usually stays at home, and the young master rarely returns home. The young mistress can talk to the young master about this matter herself."
Shulan knew he had misunderstood, but she still nodded: "Okay."
I heard that a bullock cart was specially prepared so that they wouldn't have to walk and could still see the sights of the city.
Shulan felt that if she didn't draw a blueprint for a cold weapon, she would be letting down everything the bearded man had arranged.
I plan to draw it when I get back, but I'll take a stroll first.
The oxcart moved slowly along the cobblestone street, and Shimo began to introduce the area.
The wind was very gentle today, unlike yesterday when it was so strong that you could get a mouthful of sand just by talking.
The sky was unusually blue, and a gentle breeze was blowing. It was hard to imagine that a strong wind would blow the whole city into a gray haze.
Xiao Cui looked around and whispered in Shu Lan's ear, "Miss, this place isn't actually that dilapidated."
This small town is naturally incomparable to the capital, and even less so to ordinary towns.
But: "Yes, this place is already quite good; it has its own unique beauty."
The style here is rugged and bold, quite similar to a border town TV series she had seen before.
It was much, much better than she had imagined.
At least this place isn't a place where people are living in misery and everyone has a miserable face.
The streets they are passing by now are lined with many shops, including oil shops, grocery stores, snack shops, and restaurants.
Especially when you come to the west street, the noisy hawking sounds rise and fall, children play and frolic, and neighbors chat loudly.
Although the tone was fast and they couldn't understand it at all, it brought life to the whole city.
Looking at the bustling streets and feeling the warm sunshine on her body, Shulan really enjoyed this vibrant atmosphere.
Xiao Cui nodded, though she complained, "Miss, I like it here."
Here, you don't have to be as cautious as you were at the Xie residence, and you don't have to be bullied by other servants from time to time.
Shulan ruffled her hair again and said, "Tell Miss what you want to eat."
