Chapter 356: The Way Out
Tinglu soon brought a shuttlecock made of a few beautiful chicken feathers, rolled up the skirt, and kicked the shuttlecock in the warm pavilion, the body is light and agile, like a swallow flying up and down, it is very pleasing to the eye, this is a kind of sports beauty, and the feeling of dance is completely different.
Tinglu's skill in kicking the shuttlecock is very superb, and when the shuttlecock kicks out, it seems to be attracted back by a magnet, and it is firmly stuck to Tinglu's toes.
Su Yiqing slowly counted Tinglu in her heart, until she counted to a thousand, before telling Tinglu to stop, lest this little girl kick for too long, exhaustion is not good for her health, and now the weather is cold, and it is easy to catch a cold.
Just waiting for Tinglu to stop, she casually pulled off a gold-dotted ball hairpin on her head and rewarded Tinglu.
The little maids in the warm pavilion are all admired, the jewelry worn by the princess is precious, not to mention, it is also very meaningful, they have been waiting with the princess for a long time, the princess is generous on weekdays, and often rewards people, but I have never seen the princess reward with the jewelry she has worn.
This Tinglu is really lucky, kicking the shuttlecock, many maids will be a little, not even worse than Tinglu kicking, but into the palace, everyone is busy learning a variety of more practical work, such as needlework embroidery, cooking, or other work that can please the master, who still has the kung fu to play shuttlecock, that is, Tinglu is a little silly, will play all day long, I didn't think that this time it was so lucky, there is such a hairpin, and it will be beautiful with a dowry in the future.
In the admiration of everyone, Su Yiqing called Tinglu to step forward again and asked her carefully how could she kick the shuttlecock so well?
Probably because of the excitement, the anxiety before listening to Lu disappeared, and the words became more, and he talked in detail about playing shuttlecock with his friends in the village when he was a child. And the tricks of playing, she talked about childhood anecdotes, she was eight years old into the palace, before she lived in the village, the memory of the village is still very deep, rural children, there are many ways to have fun. Catch grasshoppers. Picking wild flowers, weaving garlands, blowing bamboo whistles, etc......
Obviously, Tinglu is also full of nostalgia for those years, and she speaks with affection. It's very beautiful, Su Yiqing listened to it with relish, and from time to time she asked some trivial things about rural life that she didn't understand, and the time was so easy to pass by.
Finally. Su Yiqing instructed the green vine again and rewarded Tinglu with a big red flower cloth. Because I heard Lu talk about an interesting story in her childhood, she talked about a detail, that is, the envy of her sister next door when she saw her sister wearing a new dress of red flower cloth during the Chinese New Year, but unfortunately her family is poor, and she has two sisters above her. All the clothes were worn by her sister before she was given, and she didn't wear a new dress before she entered the palace to be a maid.
Su Yiqing felt sympathy, thinking that the clothes of the maids in the palace had certain standards. There is no kind of red and green flower fabric that the countrymen like, and Tinglu still misses the past. I must still want a dress like that, so I will reward her with a piece of such fabric, but in case I hear that Lu no longer wants it, it is easy to exchange the uncut fabric for money.
Listening to Lu's joyful thanks, he then retreated at the command.
Su Yiqing was also sleepy at this time, thinking back to the quiet country life she had seen before, and soon fell asleep.
The next day, it spread all over the palace, and the princess liked to kick shuttlecocks and listen to interesting stories.
Those little maidens no longer embroider or do anything else in their spare time, and they all get together to kick the shuttlecock in twos and threes, and play with various tricks, but they seem to be much more vigorous.
There was only one day, when Yuemian passed by and saw the little maids getting together to kick the shuttlecock, and listened to her aunt Xue Niang tell the story, she couldn't help but smile, "These little maids, the princess must be on a whim, it is really unnecessary to practice this on a whim for the princess, or should you seriously learn the skills you can use to live at home." ”
Xue Niang thought so, but sighed again, "The truth is so, but where can this group of little maids listen to it now, it is said that the hairpin that Tinglu has about the same gold on the outside, it costs eight hundred taels of silver, Tinglu's estimate is more valuable, and you can reward such a valuable hairpin by kicking the shuttlecock for a while, that little girl is not red-eyed?" Embroidery, cooking, rouge, these are not necessary to live at home, ordinary people know how to make a clothes, soles and burn a few home-cooked dishes, they are only good at learning to be appreciated by the master one day earlier, bad luck may not be much better than kicking shuttlecock, and hard. ”
Yuemian looked at Xue Niang with some surprise, "Auntie thinks quite thoroughly. ”
Xue Niang was very helpless, "I'm also a person from the past, I didn't know how to think when I was young, so I wanted to get those bells and whistles bloggers like it, but this master likes it, that doesn't necessarily like it, even if it's the same master, what I liked when I was young doesn't necessarily like it after two years, we did spend many years of youth learning this, it's better to think more about it at that time, and only slightly understand it when I'm old, what's the use, it's already old." ”
Yuemian could hear the loneliness in Xue Niang's words, since the princess entered the house, the beauties in Linglong Garden and Liuli Garden have completely fallen out of favor, and after the princess entered the door, the few who were ready to move were suppressed, but a few who saw the bad situation and retreated bravely, asking for grace or returning home or marrying with savings, I heard that it was good.
The news of the princess's pregnancy came out, and even Miss Ning, whose legend resembled Princess Ning in the past, was kicked out of the palace, and many people died of their hearts, and they asked someone to find a way, and only a few dead eyes were still holding on, hoping that the princess would be pregnant and could not serve the prince, and they would have a chance.
Those people are really stupid, even if the princess can't serve the prince, there are beauties outside who want to squeeze in, how can the prince want these people who have already fallen out of favor? It's better to take advantage of the young and beautiful to find another way out, the woman's years are limited, delay for a year more, there will be one less chance, just like the maid as big as her, earlier failed to take advantage of the princess's interest, ask for a grace, now see the reality clearly, and know that I probably have no chance to be accepted by the prince, and then I want to ask the princess to call the shots, but the princess is pregnant, and then give birth to a child in the future, followed by confinement, recuperation, childbearing, etc., I am afraid that there will be no time to Zhang Luo in a year or two, not that the little maids can not marry, but these things are in Zhang Luo, where is the princess in Zhang Luo, where is the princess Zhang Luo in person?
Many maids regret it now, but those people have nothing to do with her, Yuemian looked at Xue Niang, who was only in her early thirties, and her charm was still there, and she lowered her voice and asked, "Auntie, are you really willing to be like this for the rest of your life?"
Xue Niang was stunned for a moment, and wondered: "I'm this age, what else can I do if I don't do this?"
Yuemian's voice was lowered, "Auntie, you don't want to leave the house?"
Out of the house? Xue Niang is even more dazed, since she died after two decades of this heart, in the early years I didn't think about getting married, just saw the sisters around me, after marrying, one by one to be a daughter-in-law is the same as being a slave of the husband's family, not as good as a slave, the general slave and maid have monthly money to do well and reward something, but after marrying, tired and tired work is due, suffer the anger of the husband's family, and her average age, now can be called a mother-in-law, the old is great, lucky to survive until the mother-in-law dies or the son marries the daughter-in-law should be happy, the whole person has become hideous。
She has always been cowardly, she doesn't want to live like that, and she is even more afraid of that life, so she simply dismissed the idea of getting married.
Yuemian said: "Auntie, after I married Xianggong, I have seen a lot outside, and there are good men outside, like Auntie, there are also married people of your age, it will feel different to have a home, you can have your own children, I know you like children, you don't want to have a child of your own?"
"I'm this age. Xue Niang sighed again, as a woman, how could she not want to have her own children?
Yuemian said again: "Auntie, women outside can also go out to do things, as long as they can earn money, how can they be angry......?
Yuemian is very good at persuading people, and after a few words, Xue Niang said that she was a little moved, but she still hesitated, "You are here for a while, I ...... What shall I say?"
This is a decision about a lifetime, Xue Niang looked at Yuemian's affection and affection, and the previous six children also came to visit her from time to time, she was not envious, but she couldn't change the belief she had always insisted on with a few words from her niece.
Yuemian could see Xue Niang's concerns, and simply said: "Auntie, in fact, I think so, since I am already married, it is not good to always be on an errand in the palace, the princess is kind, I was uneasy to look at me before, and I was afraid that I would not be suitable for going out, so I was allowed to continue to work in the palace, but we can't take advantage of the princess's kindness, since I am married, the husband can also support the family, and I also have some savings, so I shouldn't be in the palace, so I thought about quitting the errand in the outer courtyard." ”
"Ahh ”
Yuemian's expression was very resolute, "Auntie, I know, I thought about it long before I got married, and now I've been together for so long, I know that Xianggong is a good person, treat me well, and have serious errands, and can support my family, even if I quit this job, it doesn't matter, I just can't bear to aunt, once I quit my job, it's not so easy to see my aunt, aunt, I've always treated you as my own mother, so why don't you go with me? Even if you don't want to do things, we can honor you for a lifetime." (To be continued)
