Chapter 35: Learning the Rules (I)

Early the next morning, Ming and Ying Wan went to the old county lord's courtyard to say goodbye, and after eating together, the old county lord left her alone.

The old county lord's eyebrows were very gentle, she looked at this loud face like jade, and said with a smile: "After the banquet yesterday, your uncle's side Fujin Wusu clan came to look for me in private, and the meaning of her words was like asking to marry you for Hui Zhou. ”

Hao Ming already knew about this in advance, so she was naturally able to deal with it easily, and she said softly: "Mama, Yingning still wants to run for election." ”

The old county lord nodded with satisfaction, "I also responded to the Wusu clan in the same way. Hui Zhou's kid is really good, but I think he is more compatible with Ying Wan. ”

Hearing this, Ming Ming only said "yes" softly, and said no more.

The old county lord said: "Although your uncle loves the Wusu clan and prefers the young son, it is really uncertain what will happen in the future." The Wusu clan is indeed quite capable, but your aunt is not a simple person! The success or failure of the Wusu clan and Hui Zhou is still unknown, and it is too risky to take it now. Fortunately, Wan'er is still young, at least she has to wait for another four or five years, and when the time comes, success or failure must be certain. It is most appropriate to ask for a marriage at the same time. ”

Sure enough, with the cleverness of her grandmother, she naturally doesn't see rabbits and eagles. How could she be willing to increase the bargaining chips for the Wusu clan when there was a fierce confrontation in this Kangwang Mansion? She could wait until the Wusu clan won and Hui Zhou became the son of the family, and then mention the marriage.

Therefore, now he only shirks, but does not refuse. It's the old lord's cleverness.

Humming sighed, sure enough, Jiang is still old and spicy, and the Wusu clan has a city government, after all, it will fall to the old county lord.

The old county lord had a kind face, "I thought that you entered the palace, but my brother has not yet ascended, but if there are two in-laws of the Iron Hat Royal Mansion as the backstage, you will be more confident, and you will be able to rely on it in the future." ”

Hearing this, Ming Ming smiled slightly and said, "Mama is far-sighted. For the sake of family glory, the old county lord is indeed far-sighted. In the old county lord's mind, the interests of the family are always in the first place, and on the premise of not violating the interests of the family, she is still willing to plan for her granddaughter.

The old county lord stroked his sideburns full of silver threads, and said slowly: "From now on, you don't have to go to the study to study, just concentrate on learning rules and etiquette from Grandma Sun." ”

Mama Sun is an old man next to the old county lord, and she was sent to teach her the rules at the beginning of the year, and now that the draft period is getting more and more, the old county lord is naturally going to carry out assault training for her. This grandmother Sun is also an extremely strict master, and she likes Mr. Zhang more than her. However, the old county lord has always said the same, and since she said it, she naturally can't tolerate questioning.

Yu Ming said "yes" to Wanfu, and said: "I heard that the saint likes talented women, Yingning doesn't want to delay, and wants to take some time out every day to practice calligraphy." ”

The old county lord said with a smile: "Yes, it has always been 'a woman is virtuous if she is not talented', but now the emperor's favorite concubine Gao, is a person who reads through the four books and five classics. If you are so careful, you will naturally not be spoiled in the future. ”

Hao Ming smiled embarrassedly, the situation in the palace, Mama Sun also told her early, the middle palace is naturally the queen of Fucha who was born in a big family, and she is quite famous. When Empress Fucha was the emperor's mansion, the first emperor gave birth to the second elder brother Yonglian in the eighth year of Yongzheng, and now she is pregnant again, and her natural status is particularly stable. There is also the maiden niece of the Queen Mother, the concubine Wulanala, who was also the side Fujin of the mansion, who was born noble, and gave birth to the eldest princess when she was in the mansion, but the emperor's favorite is the concubine Gao who was born in the coat flag.

It was probably changed by the Empress Dowager Wulanara, the famous Huixian Emperor Concubine in history, did not be crowned a concubine as soon as Qianlong ascended the throne, nor was she carried the flag to the three flags of the Manchurian army, and this Gao family has always been just a concubine when she was in the emperor's mansion, and she was never promoted to the side Fujin, and the emperor only named her Concubine Hui after he ascended the throne.

And the rest of the concubines of the domain, even including the third elder brother Yongzhang's biological mother Su Shi, only sealed pure nobles, and there are also a few nobles, Chang Zai, promised, etc., in short, the status is relatively low. In other words, there are only one queen and two concubines in the palace now, and the concubines are vacant.

Thinking about it, the original Qianlong Emperor was a concubine, but now he is a concubine in the middle palace, so he is naturally high-spirited, and he can't look down on those low-born concubines, so naturally the status of those concubines is low, of course, I am afraid that there is also the suppression of the queen mother.

The corners of the old county lord's wrinkled eyes slanted slightly, and he sneered with a little disdain, "It's just that everyone knows what Concubine Hui's origin is! Although she is favored by the saint, the queen mother is disgusted with her for the first time! If you really imitate her in everything, you will despise yourself!"

Ming smiled slightly: "Yes, Mama said yes." What's more, Yingning prides herself on being talented and not inferior to others. ”

This answer made the old county lord very satisfied, the old county lord is a noble and high-ranking Heshuo Gege, a senior respect, naturally extraordinarily arrogant, so he also likes his granddaughter to have a similar pride as her.

Fortunately, she is a person who has been immersed in etiquette since she was a child, and now she can only be regarded as a review, but every day in front of Grandma Sun's stereotyped old face, every step and every expression must be dignified, and it is really tiring.

Mama Sun is over forty years old, but her body is straight as a pine, her flag is meticulously combed, and her demeanor is respectful, but she is extremely strict. During this period, all the maids who served around Mingming were not allowed to serve anymore except for Banxia, and Banxia was only allowed to serve food and drink, and all the dresses had to be done by themselves.

Because of the show girl's candition, after the second round of the palace election, it will "stay in the palace to stay" for a period of time, in the days of staying in the palace, it is naturally not allowed to bring their own maids to serve, although the palace will also arrange palace maids to serve, but it is also many show girls with a palace maid, naturally most of the things have to be handled by themselves, especially combing hair and dressing up, which is particularly crucial.

Fortunately, Bo Ming can comb a few simple styles of Manchurian buns, such as the small two heads and the shelf head, which are not very complicated, after all, the show girl does not need too luxurious flags, and it is not troublesome.

It's just that in the end, it can't compare to Banxia's dexterous craftsmanship, and under the urging of Grandma Sun, the little two heads are still delicate, but the swallowtail bun on the back is really a little loose and crooked. When Grandma Sun saw it, she immediately asked her to spread her hair back and comb it again.

Humming didn't refute, just honestly did what Grandma Sun said, so patiently combed it three times, and Grandma Sun finally nodded, and at this time it was already past the hour, and Humming was already rumbling with hunger.
