Granny Li, the housekeeper, picked up a golden bell and shook it three or five times, and saw a woman outside the courtyard hurrying over. I saw that this woman was born with a delicate body, a graceful demeanor, her nose leaning against Qiong Yao, and her eyes were full of autumn water. Cuiyun hairpin with golden uranium, lotus flower skirt step by step. As soon as she entered the door, she smiled and saluted Granny Li, and said, "Changqing greets Granny Li." ”

"No courtesy. Granny Li took the woman's hand, pointed to the second sister, and said: "Changqing, this is the maid newly bought by the eldest young master, I have explained it, and put it in the lady's room, you have to teach it carefully, unlike the little maids who start from the firewood room, and some of them have time to hone." ”

Changqing looked at Wanyu and Xue Fei with a smile, and said, "The eldest young master is so optimistic about them, he will arrange to serve in the lady's room as soon as he comes." Mother-in-law rest assured that Changqing will do her best to teach. ”

Granny Li said: "You just teach them the simplest water basin service, in the afternoon I asked Miss Lu Yuan to teach them to make tea, first learn the most basic skills in front of them, learn and use them now, while serving, just practice." ”

"Mother-in-law, don't worry, I will do my best. Changqing smiled at the corner of his eyes, his eyes were gentle, he glanced at Xue Fei and said, "You go and fetch a basin of water." ”

Xue Fei was stunned, and said in her heart, this woman is so beautiful, she is really like a beauty walking down in a painting, are the maids in this Oriental Washington Mansion so beautiful?

Wanyu saw that Xue Fei was stunned, so she hurriedly touched her arm lightly and said, "Xue Fei, go get a basin and fetch water." ”

"Where's the water, where is the basin?" asked Xue Fei in a hurry.

"Hey" The steward sighed and said, "Look behind you, there is a basin on the shelf, and there is hot water in the bucket next to it, which will be warm." ”

"Oh, got it. Xue Fei glanced at Granny Li out of the corner of her eyes, hurriedly walked over, poured water into the basin, brought it over, put it on the ground, and said, "The water is here." ”

Changqing and Granny Li couldn't help but shake their heads at the same time, and Granny Li said: "Children who have never been out of the house, don't understand anything? ”

"Slaves and maids are in charge of internal affairs. Changqing congratulated Granny Li and said, "Granny Li walks slowly." ”

Wanyu and Xue Fei also gave courtesy, and as soon as they saw Granny Li leaving, Changqing smiled and said: "You two are individually restrained, my master is the most temperamental in Washington, no matter how naughty you are, I can't bear to punish you?"

As soon as Xue Fei and Wanyu saw the evergreen girl, they had a good impression, and Xue Fei couldn't help but say: "Master Changqing, you are like the beauty who walked down the painting, I was stunned just now, how can there be such a good-looking person in the world." ”

"This has a sweet mouth, and the person is a big ghost. Changqing smiled, "What's your name?"

"Sheffield. She couldn't stop glancing at Changqing and smiled.

"Wanyu, I've seen Master Changqing. Wanyu gave a salute, and when she saw Xue Fei's appearance, she gently pulled her sleeve.

Changqing smiled: "It's okay, she's young, don't worry if I don't care, if she is in front of the master, she will be punished." ”

"Huh?" Xue Fei looked at Changqing in confusion.

Changqing said: "Xue Fei, you have to remember that in Washington, slaves and maids can't look directly at their masters, Granny Li should have told you just now, right?"

"Yes. Xue Fei lowered her head and said.

Changqing bent down gently, moved lightly under his feet, his legs were undulating, he picked up the basin from the ground, held it with his hands crossed, and said: "Take water from the ground from a low posture, the force is from the root, and the strength is neat and the strength is gathered; I saw that her figure was erratic, her temperament was noble, and the basin of water was like a blade in her hand, swaying freely.

"Master is so beautiful!" Xue Fei clapped her hands and exclaimed, "I can't even see clearly, how can it be so wonderful." ”

Changqing said: "This set of water basin service twenty styles is created by Aunt Ya'an, the ancestor of the Oriental Washington Mansion, and it is taken from the meaning that spring, summer, autumn and winter are ordinary services. Take the meaning, the four gentlemen of Meilan, Zhuju and chrysanthemum, serve the text. Take the meaning of "twelve-shaped: dragon, tiger, monkey, horse, dragon, chicken, harrier, swallow, snake, mackerel, eagle, bear" for the martial service. ”

I saw Changqing holding a basin of water in his hand, his wrists and elbows were falling, his legs were parallel to each other, his feet were shoulder-width apart, he was squatting vertically, his toes were parallel to each other, his knees were propped outward, his thighs were parallel to the ground, and his hips were adducted forward and inward. I just listened to her: "The ordinary service in spring, summer, autumn and winter corresponds to the four basic steps, horse steps, flutter steps, virtual steps, and rest steps. Naqi is supported by both hands, and the dantian is lifted in the chest. The abdomen is full of essence and energy, and it is like soaring into the sky. ”

Xue Fei and Wanyu looked at Changqing, still as pine as a pine, calm and relaxed. I also learned it, but the first practice of this horse step was very hard, bending over and pouting my ass did not count, and after standing with my legs for a while, I couldn't help but feel sore and trembling, and I didn't listen to the call, and the two of them sweated like rain.

"Hold on. Changqing said: "Concentrate and calm down, make the crotch into an arc, this horse step is commonly known as a round crotch." Pull out the back with the chest, the chest should be flat, and the back should be round. Hold the basin with both hands and be at the same level as your chest. The void spirit is strong, the head is like a hanging line hair beam, the eyes are slightly lowered ahead, the breath is evenly proportioned like nothing, and when it is inhaled, it becomes a spit, and the clear air is heavy and the turbidity is removed. The breath is still too empty, the two qi circulates in no order, and the inside and outside give birth to a thought. The turbidity is clear, and the roots under the feet are like Mount Tai. ”

"Master Changqing, how long does it take for the ladies and sons to wash, I really can't hold on. Xue Fei fell to the ground, panting, beads of sweat rolling down her forehead like soybeans. Immediately afterwards, Wanyu also knelt on the ground, her face was pale, and her legs couldn't stop shaking.

Changqing said: "On weekdays, when the ladies and young masters eat some snacks, they will wash their hands first, and it takes about five minutes. It takes about seven or eight minutes to wash your face in the morning and evening, and you have to practice for more than half an hour to deal with the four-step pile in spring, summer, autumn and winter. ”

"Why so long?" Wanyu asked breathlessly.

Changqing said with a smile: "Because, sometimes the young masters will teach the maids their homework according to the convention, and they will deliberately delay and not wash, so the maid will not be able to move, if they can't hold on, they can only go to the back mountain to kneel for two hours, and if they are punished more than three times, they will wear the same iron shoes as the sweeping servants, and wear sandbags on their legs to do rough work." ”

"Huh, how can this be?" said Xuefei's mouth wide in shock.

"The ladies' room is the most relaxed, and the most difficult thing for you now is not the basin service, but the shoes. Changqing raised his feet and said: "The shoes of the maid in Chinese clothes are hollowed out with bells, so you should be especially careful when walking, and you can't let the copper bell ring, in case you accidentally make a movement, and be heard by the lady and young master, you don't have to wait for reprimand, just go to the back mountain to punish kneeling, this is the most basic rule." ”

Xue Fei and Wanyu looked at each other when they heard this, this was not at all the same as the Dongfang Mansion they imagined, and said in their hearts, can this still stand up?

Seeing this, Changqing smiled and said, "You two don't get up quickly, don't be afraid, just get used to it." For a year and a half, we practiced after being punished a lot, and we all came over like this, and we had to get up and practice every three watches, unlike at home, where we couldn't sleep lazy. ”
