83. Chapter 83: Untitled
After the prince finished the trial here, he threw all four of them to the sweeping place, and at the same time secretly made a note to the Du family in his heart.
To be honest, there is no simple woman who can be a concubine in the harem. Although Du Guifei instructed the four female officials, she only instilled in them Su Yan's demeanor of taking her husband as the sky, being virtuous and virtuous, not fighting or grabbing, and being good at representing the concubines, as for strictly teaching her various palace rules and rituals, losing her personal characteristics, and becoming a vase-like model princess, it cannot be said that she is wrong, it can only be said that she is too demanding for the sake of the prince.
As for the crown princess who is taught in this way, whether the prince likes it or not, whether she will be taken away from her favor by the side room is completely unimportant, okay? Marrying a wife and marrying virtue, taking a concubine is used to be respected, and a concubine is used to pamper.
From this point of view, Du Guifei is not wrong at all. Even if he sued the emperor, his father would not say that the concubine was at fault. However, does it have anything to do with what others say is right or wrong? He just knows who is right and who is wrong, doesn't his aunt and grandfather's family want the Du family daughter to enter the East Palace, as long as Daddy gives him it, he will continue, but when he enters the East Palace, what kind of life he wants to live is up to him.
The prince made up his mind here, and Du Guifei also knew the whereabouts of the four female officials. She was a little weak-hearted, so she didn't dare to ask someone to ask at that time, but waited for two days before sending her henchman and palace maid over. Li Hui and Mu Qing have been tortured for a few days, and they know that they can't get out of here, so their reply to Du Guifei is half-true.
When Concubine Du learned that it was the prince who went to the Yasukuni Mansion to change the person, she was very uneasy, for fear that some of her plans would be known by the prince, so she could only urgently recruit Mrs. Du.
"Ah Niang, you say, will the prince know?" Du Guifei asked anxiously. The prince is her reliance in her future life, if she really offends the prince, there will be times when she is unlucky and suffers.
Mrs. Du is not sure, it is true that the relationship between the prince and the Du family is not close, just look at the prince's companion reading from childhood to adulthood, the men of the Du family were not selected into the East Palace. The old lady thought more than Du Guifei, looking at the prince's love for Su Shi Niang, would it be because of this to the Du family, they sent a daughter to the East Palace in order to be favored and give birth to a son, but not to send it to the palace to let the prince treat him coldly. If this is the case, it is better to choose a family with a good family to marry, and you can also marry more in-laws for the family.
"Look at it again, if it doesn't work, it's okay to change to Liuniang and Baniang to enter the palace." Mrs. Du thought about it for a long time, but she still couldn't give up the idea of sending her daughter to the palace. However, the candidate can be changed, the concubine is used for marriage, and it is not bad to choose a concubine to enter the palace, and when the time comes, this chess piece will be abolished, and it will not affect the overall situation. If she is unexpectedly favored, she is also a member of the Du family, knowing that surviving in the palace is inseparable from the support of the family.
Du Guifei was a little unwilling, even if the crown princess didn't fight, she couldn't even fight for Liangdi and Liangyuan, how could she get this face. "Ah Niang, anyway, it will take two years to get married to the prince, if the saint gives someone to enter the East Palace, it will probably be before the princess enters the palace. Looking at it this way, Qi Niang still has a chance to win. "Entering the palace first is equivalent to having a chance to get close first, the palace is not comparable to other families, and concubines are not allowed to have children before their wives have children. In the royal family, the fight is whose belly is more competitive, whose luck is better, and Mr. Son.
Mrs. Du has always been stubborn, and she didn't say she agreed or disagreed, but said vaguely: "Don't worry, let me take a look." ā
"A-Niang, I have seen Shi Niang too few times, and I can't figure out her character, so it's better for A-Niang to let Si Niang post and take a good look at her." Du Guifei has lived in the palace for a long time, and she has seen a lot of all kinds of little girls who like to play scheming and play tricks, and it is really the first time she has met a girl like Su Yan.
Mrs. Du thought about it, then nodded in response. She smiled: "There is no need for our family to post it, there will be a flower viewing banquet in the Wei family in a few days, and our family has also received the post, I'll just go over and take a look." ā
Su Yan has a new female official here, and the four new female officials have obviously learned the lesson of their predecessors, speaking and acting kindly, like a spring breeze, putting their posture very low, and even when facing Qingyun, Lu Xue and other personal maids, they greet each other with a smile, compared with the first four, they are simply two extremes.
I am about to wake up from a nap, it is the time of the day when the sun is at its fullest, and the two female officers who came to teach today were at the door of Su Yan's study early, with a decent smile on their faces, and their posture was straight, which looked particularly conspicuous.
They didn't wait long, the bamboo curtain in the main room was opened, and a girl in a refreshing light blue Confucian skirt walked out with lotus steps.
"It's been a long time for the two female officers to wait." Su Yan owed a little.
Zhang and Wang hurriedly curtsied, and waited for Su Yan and his party to enter the study, and then the two entered.
Su Yan entered the study, still sitting upright behind the bookcase, with cut paper and polished ink in front of him.
"Female official Zhang and female official Wang, please sit down, Qingyun will serve tea." Su Yan said.
The two female officials, Zhang and Wang, owed at the same time and sat down in front of the bookcase. Today, Lady Zhang gave a lecture, her smile was kind, her tone was gentle, her voice was neither high nor low, and her words were clear, which slowly entered your ears and made you feel very comfortable to hear.
"Shi Niang, let's familiarize ourselves with yesterday's content first." Before you teach a new lesson, review what you learned yesterday. This has been the usual pattern between them for a few days.
Su Yan didn't think about it, opened her mouth and said, retelling what Lady Wang said yesterday, word for word, and when she finished speaking, she picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, without asking whether what she said was right or wrong. As a scholar, I am so confident.
Although the two female officials, Zhang and Wang, have seen each other for several days, they are still shocked by Su Yan every time. You must know that their daily teaching time, just speak well, and they don't even need to repeat it twice, and then this ten ladies of the Su family can memorize all of them word for word, this ability is really incomparable.
The corners of Female Officer Zhang's mouth rose a little more, "Shi Niang remembers it well, let's continue to talk about the banquet and clothing today." "At this rate, in ten days, she won't have anything to teach. Female Officer Zhang inadvertently turned her head to glance at Female Officer Wang, and found that this colleague was no better than herself.
Wang Nuguan bishops Gong Yi, walking, sitting and lying, talking, etc., a qiÄ is related to movements, and she is to teach them. However, Su Yan herself is a concubine of a famous family, and her etiquette is good enough, so she doesn't need them to teach her at all, just say something that needs attention. Yes, Lady Wang will probably leave class earlier than Lady Zhang.
"As the crown princess, your makeup should be dignified, and you must not be frivolous and beautiful." When talking about the color of the dress, Lady Zhang especially emphasized this point, "Of course, it is natural to follow your preferences in private. Lady Zhang thought about it and added the last sentence.
With the predecessor in the front and the prince in the back, the new female official did not speak at all about those virtuous and virtuous people, and only picked up useful words. By the way, he also trained all the maids around Su Yan with comprehensive service.
An hour later, the two female officials Zhang and Wang, who were dry-mouthed, got up and retired, Qingyun and Luxue sent the two out, and Su Yan took a pen to record all the contents of today, so that the people around him could read it.
When this qiÄ was done, it was time for dinner, she went back to her room to change her clothes and took someone to Qingyuan. Before, those female officials also turned the corner and mentioned yƬ to her, hoping that her diet in the future would be controlled by them.
The female official Wu in charge of health and beauty also persuaded her earnestly: "In the harem, not only the appearance is important, but the body hair and skin should not be improved. ā
Su Yan pursed her lips, raised her chin slightly and motioned for Qingyun to untie her bun, waiting for the bun to spread out and her hair hanging low, Qingyun casually took a comb from the dressing table, inserted it into her hair, and then let go of her hand, the comb went from top to bottom, almost didn't even stay, and fell directly to the ground.
Female official Wu was dumbfounded, and what made her even more dumbfounded was that the beautiful and vulgar girl in front of her rolled up her sleeves, picked up the inkstone with ink at will, and poured the rest of the ink on her arm, and the thick ink passed through the skin and fell in the wash, but did not leave a trace on the snow-white skin, as if the scene just now was just an illusion of a few people.
Su Yan smiled lightly, "Female Officer Wu, what else do I need to strive for?" ā
Female Officer Wu smiled awkwardly, "No, no need." ā
Since then, no one has talked about diet, beauty, etc. Because several female officials found that Miss Su was much more delicate and exquisite than them in these aspects, and they were embarrassed to talk about it in front of others.
"Auntie." As soon as Su Yan stepped into the Qingyuan, like a cheerful bird, he flew into the Lu family's main house and pounced on his mother's side.
Lu pinched his daughter's little face, "Why is it so early today?" "On weekdays, when the daughter comes over, the father and son of the Su family come back.
Su Yan took a incense box from Lu Xue's hand, sent it to the Lu family, and proudly said: "Ah Niang, this is my new four unique incense, it is best for you to order it when you enjoy the orchid." ā
Lu opened the incense box and sniffed it, closed the box with a smile, and boasted: "It's better than last time." ā
Su Yan nodded, "Well, I changed the spice." "Snuggle up to your mother," after Ah Niang used it, she wanted to tell me which one you like best. I've written it all down and I'll send it to you later. ā
Lu's is so fragrant, Su Yan has been learning to make incense since she learned it, and what her parents use in their daily life is made by herself, and Lu and Su Zhoucheng are used to the incense made by their daughters. In the past few years, she doesn't know how many recipes she has modified, and no one knows it except her. When she gets married, she will probably no longer be able to make incense for her parents. Su Yan has always been accustomed to doing things in front, she recorded all the incense she made one by one, and handed them over to her mother when the time came. In this way, even if she gets married, she will not let her parents have no fragrance. Perhaps, the mother will give the incense to her sister-in-law and niece, and it can also be a family heirloom in the future.
She shook her head quietly, threw away the sudden sadness, and smiled brightly again: "A-Niang, my eldest brother will be out in a few days, can I wait for him outside the examination room." ā
Lu touched his daughter's hair, "You can go if you like, but what about the female officials?" ā
"I'll be done in two days." Su Yan said very confidently, "As for Qingyun and them, anyway, for a while, those female officials won't leave, so there's no need to worry." But ......" Su Yan looked at the Lu family, and stopped talking.
Lu asked, "Ashu, what are you telling me?" ā
Su Yan was a little embarrassed and said, "Ah Niang, Qingyun and Luxue are already before they get married, I don't want to delay them." ā
"You don't want to bring Qingyun and Luxue into the palace?" The Lu family was also thinking about this matter before, Qingyun and Luxue were four or five years older than Su Yan, and now they are both eighteen or nineteen-year-old girls, so it stands to reason that they should be married. Su Yan wants to get married at least fifteen days later, and the prince's wedding ceremony is not something that can be prepared in a day or two. When Su Yan got married, Qingyun and several people were usually in their early twenties, and when they first entered the East Palace, it was impossible for Su Yan to consider the marriage of the maids around him, and it was easy to enter the palace and difficult to leave the palace.
Lu pondered for a moment: "Have you asked them what they mean?" ā
"Qingyun and Luxue have given relatives in their families, Mei Ying and Hanfang, I heard that they also have people who are optimistic." Su Yan had already understood, so he wanted to let out all the maids around him. "And Yuan Niang......" she pursed her lips, "Yuan Niang is old, she served me for a while, I really don't want her to enter the palace with me, and break off the relationship between husband and wife." Su Yan said it very tactfully, she believed that her mother would understand what she meant.
Lu looked at her daughter with some relief, her pampered little girl had grown up. "Yuan Niang has taken care of you since she was a child, and she has worked hard, so you have to persuade each other and reward more things."
Su Yan nodded, "I know." Ah Niang ......" She looked up at the Lu family, "If you can, you and Daddy, take care of Yuan Niang's house more, and ensure that their family has no good food and clothing." ā
"Okay." Lu nodded in agreement.
Yuan Niang had a premonition when Su Yan left her alone to talk, her eyes filled with tears, and she knelt on the ground: "Shi Niang, the slave is not old, and he can serve you for a few more years." ā
Su Yan helped her up with tears, "Yuan Niang, how sinister the palace is, you have a husband, a son, and a grandchild, isn't it good to enjoy the joy of family?" Why bother to enter the palace with me and be afraid. I will let people remove the slavery of your husband and wife, add four more boxes of books to you, train your grandchildren well, and when they grow up, they will also seek fame. Don't worry, I begged Daddy and Auntie to let them take care of your family without worrying about being bullied. ā
Su Yan really should have considered everything, especially the four boxes of books she promised, which many poor families couldn't think of. Yuan Niang knew that Su Yan had made up her mind, she couldn't stay any longer, so she could only cry and kneel down and kowtow three times, "I'm not here in the future, Shi Niang should take care more." After saying that, he covered his face and went out.
Yuan Niang has been by Su Yan's side for many years, although she made a decision, she was still reluctant in her heart, and she stayed with Yuan Niang for a few more days before adding books and giving her money and sending her home.
solved the problem of Yuan Niang, it was Qingyun and the other four maids, but they were not in a hurry, just take their time. Su Yan talked to a few of them one by one, and the four of them thought that after a few days, they all planned not to enter the palace with Su Yan, but they went out with Su Yan, and they would directly take care of her dowry in the future, and they would also be her servants, and they would have the opportunity to meet in the future, so it would not be sad.
The four of Qingyun are close to the big girls, it is impossible to replace them all at once, and they still have to train the people who take over. According to the Lu family's idea, since they all want to mention newcomers, they simply set the first-class maids into eight people, sixteen second-class maids, and thirty-two third-class maids, and train them together, and these people will definitely follow Su Yan into the palace in the future.
According to Lu's words, these people are all simple, and they are not just reluctant. However, anyway, after her daughter marries into the East Palace, the Ministry of Internal Affairs will definitely match the palace maid, and she will not worry about the lack of pomp.
There were originally four second-class maids in Su Yan's room, Bai Su, Hua Rong, Banxia, and Mu Lan, they were originally the successors specially cultivated by Qingyun and a few people, so they were familiar with it quickly, and the four people who were selected later were still young and needed to be adjusted again.
Qianniang, the girl saved by Su Yan before, was also put into Su Yan's yard by the Lu family because of her excellent flower planting skills, and became a second-class maid, serving flowers and plants full-time, and there was a perilla with her.
Su Rong occasionally went to sit in Su Yan's courtyard, and when he saw Qianniang repairing flowers and plants in the courtyard, his eyes widened suddenly, "Tenth sister, is this girl the one you saved?" ā
Su Yan nodded, "Not bad." A-Niang saw that she was born well and her skills in conditioning flowers and plants were good, so she transferred her to my hospital. ā
Su Rong was a little worried, "She is not a servant in our house, is it a little inappropriate to put her by her side?" ā
Su Yan has been with Su Rong for a long time, and she is also used to her worry-loving nature, so she didn't explain much, only said: "A-Niang has already checked, and her brother has now voted for our family." ā
Su Rong reminded him, he did his best, and it was her business whether Su Yan listened or not. She didn't make much fuss about it, and just chatted a few words casually and passed. "I'm going to the Wei family tomorrow, what is the tenth sister going to wear?"
Su Yan really didn't think about it, she looked up at the hot sun in the sky, "Refreshing, it's weirdly hot." ā
Su Rongqi said: "Don't wear red? "When Su Yan went out, she wore red clothes more often, and her peerless appearance was really overwhelming.
"Lately I've been liking light colors." Su Yan shook the fan and said lazily.
"By the way, Enke will open in five days, the eldest brother and the fourth brother will be gone, is the tenth sister going to send it off?" Su Rong remembered the topic of Enke this time, and had already made a prediction for her brother in advance, believing that her eldest brother would never be compared to the dust by the fourth brother like in his previous life.
"I definitely want to go, I told my aunt that I will not only send it, but also wait outside the field to pick up my brother back." Su Yan said as a matter of course.
Su Rong smiled and stretched out his hand, "Then let's say okay and go together." ā
Su Yan struck each other with his hand, raised his eyebrows and said, "It's okay." ā
The study of Su Rong's palace rules had just come to an end, and he had been nervous for many days, so he was able to relax for a day, so he sat here for a long time in Su Yan. When it was almost lunch, Su Yan invited, "Seventh sister stay and eat together." ā
Su Rong nodded happily, "Okay." "She has been very strict recently, and she is not allowed to eat many taboo things, even the heavier ones, saying that her skin will turn black if she eats too much. Su Rong was really tortured, and besides, she wanted to see how Su Yan, who had also been taught by the female officials in the palace, was different from her, and she happened to study it secretly.
Su Yan wanted to leave Su Rong for lunch together, and the dishes were naturally not easy to eat, so she asked people to go to the big kitchen to get some ingredients back.
When the two sisters were chatting under the tree, Banxia, who was small and delicate and had a sweet smile, brought two teas to a reddish rectangular tray and said playfully: "Qi Niang, try our dark fragrant soup." ā
"Dark fragrant soup?" Su Rong curiously opened the lid of the bowl, and saw that in the pale honey-colored tea soup, there were a few freshly ground plum blossoms, and the nose was full of the cold fragrance unique to plum blossoms. "Dark incense floating moon dusk." She muttered to herself, "Sure enough, it should be called Dark Fragrant Soup." Tenth sister, you girl is so ingenious. ā
Banxia's face turned red, "What can we think of, it was originally taught by Shi Niang." ā
Su Rong raised a smile, and only then did he want to praise Su Yan a few words, but he couldn't help but hear a low roar, and then saw an obedient and vigorous figure directly knocking down a servant woman. The woman screamed and fainted.
Su Rong stood up in shock, "What's going on?" She looked at the leopard uneasily, with deep fear in her eyes.
Obediently suddenly attacked, frightened the people in the Yutang courtyard, and looked at the servant woman who was crushed under it blankly.
Su Yan took a sip of the tea bowl slowly, squinted his eyes with satisfaction, and then had time to wave to the obedient, "Obedient, come here." ā
After obediently pounced on the person, he did not bite directly, but kept using his paws to the front of the servant woman. Hearing Su Yan call it, it turned its head to look at Su Yan, then looked down at the person under its paws, and shouted at Su Yan in a low voice.
Su Yan smiled: "I know, I will send someone to search her body." ā
Obediently seemed to understand, then let go of the clawed people, turned around and ran to Su Yan's side, rubbed her with his round head, and obediently lay down on her lap.
"Qingyun, go search her body." Su Yan calmly commanded. Obediently will not attack people for no reason, there must be something hidden in her by this woman.
Qingyun took the order, took the minifigure and searched it carefully, and found a fan that Su Yan threw away from the servant's arms. At that time, she had already finished painting the entire fan surface, and even the poem was mentioned together, but her fifth brother saw it and reached out to take it, but accidentally tore a corner of the fan and was thrown away directly by Su Yan.
If she remembered correctly, this fan was painted by her four days ago, and it should have been burned, so how could it be on this servant?
Needless to say, Qingyun led someone to tie up the woman and press her directly into the firewood room, and after lunch, Su Rong left for a retrial.
This kind of thing happened in Su Yan's courtyard, how could Su Rong sit still, and quickly got up to say goodbye. Su Yan didn't stay long, but said: "I was lucky today, and I will invite my sister the day after tomorrow." ā
