Wen Wan entered Hongwen Academy in early February when she was twenty. To conceal the fact that she was married, she had to let down the woman's bun she had worn for three years and dress like a young lady.
Having already given birth to a chubby little boy, Wen Wan, even after being a mother for a year, didn't look much different from a young lady in appearance.
She was fortunate to have good timing. When she gave birth to Jinbao, both her family and her in-laws were relatively well-off, allowing her to sit through the postpartum month fully, with nutritional supplements uninterrupted.
Not long after the postpartum period, she went up to Beijing and became an official's wife.
Nowadays, although there are no servants at home, many things require her as the official's wife to do herself, but compared to the days right after she got married, it's already much better.
