Chapter 29: Rush for quick success and quick profit to heal the face injury
Early the next morning, Xi Yao arrived as scheduled, and sure enough, the old lady picked the most experienced mother around her to take Xi Yao to learn various etiquette.
Originally, before coming here to perform the mission, Xi Yao and Bai Moyang had already received a series of training, and "etiquette" was naturally indispensable. Just in case they are the sons and daughters of the General's Mansion, they will be dumbfounded when they enter the palace one day, but they don't want those basic skills that have been practiced diligently to come in handy at this time.
Although she knew the rules of walking, sitting and lying down well, Xi Yao still pretended not to understand some difficult ones, and learned from her mother very seriously.
It was getting dark soon, and looking at Xi Yao's graceful demeanor when she saluted herself, her mother nodded very happily, "Old lady, look, the eldest lady is really smart, she can understand it at one point, and in this day's time, she has learned all the things that others can digest in a few days." β
The old lady smiled faintly, "Well, it's good to learn it, it's also tired for a day, go back and rest." β
Xi Yao didn't retreat when she heard this, but knelt down and made a big salute, "Grandmother is above, and I am worshiped by my granddaughter Ying'er." didn't say such a clichΓ© word of thanks, but thanked the old lady with practical actions, and after kowtowing three times, Xi Yao slowly got up.
Noticing that Xi Yao's eyes were filled with tears, the old lady was also stunned for a moment, "Silly boy, what is this for?" Let's go back quickly......" As they spoke, the girls had already begun to pass the dinner to the house.
"Then, the granddaughter has retired."
returned to Cuizhuyuan, sent the red incense out to get something, Xi Yao fell on the bed with a grunt, "I'm tired to death......
Red Candle's eyesight is excellent, and without waiting for Xi Yao's instructions, she has already stepped forward to beat her legs and squeeze her arms, "Miss, the slave maid really didn't expect that the old lady would be able to call you over alone to teach the rules." That's a great thing! β
"I hope so, when I was in Fushouyuan, I was scared, for fear that if I didn't pay attention, I would make the old lady unhappy."
As soon as the chatterbox opened, the red candle began to gush, "You don't know this, the old man is sometimes similar to a child, it needs to be coaxed, the more careful you tremble, the more unnatural she will look at, Miss, you usually understand the rules, and you value friendship, there will be nothing that the old lady can't look down on, so ah, when you are in front of the old lady, you just need to be yourself, the more you are afraid and cowering, the old lady will be disgusted." β
After thinking back to the words of the red candle left and right, the more Xi Yao tasted it, the more he felt that it was reasonable, "Don't say it, what you said is really good, but where did you get your experience?" β
"When I was a child, at home, I got along with my grandmother, we have many sisters, although my grandmother is very painful, but after all, there is a weight, the slave maid found this trick, in front of my grandmother never hide the heart of the mind, innocent and lively is the best. From time to time to throw some sweet words to make the old man happy, it will be done. β
"Can't you see, you're also a sweet-mouthed?" In a much better mood, Xi Yao slowly sat up straight from the bed, "Well, I decided to give your method a try." After speaking, his brows furrowed, "Tomorrow is the banquet, how about Gao Gaolan?" β
"The news has just come out of Lamei Garden, and Mrs. doesn't know what medicine the doctor used, and the red marks on Miss's face have almost disappeared in one day!"
"Oh? Is it? "If it is an ordinary step-by-step treatment, it is absolutely impossible to achieve such a quick and good effect, so Wang must be eager for quick success and take some shortcuts. Any shortcut has a price, and there are only two ways to get to the condition on Gao Lanna's face, one is to slowly regulate it from the inside out, and the other is to cover it from the outside. Thinking about it, the mother and daughter hurriedly chose the second method.
Gao Gao Lan has been pampered since she was a child, and although her green fingers are not strong, it is different with those slender jade-like nails.
It's irrational for people to itch to the extreme, and allergies are just getting more and more itchy the more they scratch it, when she was dragged down by the girls yesterday, Xi Yao really saw it, Gao Gaolan's face was almost all red, although there was no big blood gushing out, but there was a slight bloodshot, this is not something that can be completely cured in one day.
It seems that for tomorrow's banquet, this mother and daughter are fighting hard!
Sure enough, as Xi Yao guessed, after dinner, Bai Moyang brought the news, and as soon as Wang heard that "it will take at least a month to recover from good recuperation", he exploded on the spot, and begged the doctor to think of some good way to let his daughter recover the next day. If you can't think of a way, you won't let the family go, and you will use the majesty of the General's Mansion to oppress others.
"In the end, the doctor had no choice but to write a prescription for external use, which can be applied to the face to cover the original scars in a short time", thinking that after the doctor went back, he would take the family to run away, right?
"If you want to cover it, the original scars are not good, and they are covered under a thick fat powder all day, although there are also drugs in it, but after all, it is difficult to defeat it, so like this, I'm afraid that after washing off the makeup at night, HD Lan will be scared by her appearance, right?"
"You mean?"
"How about a bet? Bet on whoever loses to promise the other party one thing unconditionally! There must be a scar on Gao Gaolan's face! β
Bai Moyang was obviously not interested in this kind of boring thing, so he didn't answer with a cold face.
"Uninteresting ......"
"Have you memorized the list of who will be here tomorrow? And the appearance of each person, don't be mistaken. β
Accustomed to Bai Moyang's repeated instructions, Xi Yao patted her chest very confidently, "Don't worry, it's all here." β
Originally, she meant to be confident, but she didn't want Bai Moyang to glance at Xi Yao, and silently spit out four words, "Big chest and no brains?" β
"You?!"
Haha laughed, Bai Moyang got up and walked away.
A long time has passed, and Xi Yao seems to be able to hear Bai Moyang's hearty laughter in the air. Is this really coming out of that iceberg-faced throat? The smile that flashed just now was also ...... It's too wicked, isn't it?
The next day, the day of the feast came.
Early in the morning, the General's Mansion Guangting Curie, very lively, the ribbons that had already been arranged were checked by the girls for the last time, and after everything was correct, including the food furnishings at the banquet, etc., they were arranged and checked over and over again.
By noon, the guests had already come to the door.
At the entrance of the general's mansion, horse-drawn carriages were parked one after another, and then because there were too many vehicles, the main road was blocked, and the carriages had to be transferred to other streets. For a time, it was very lively, and many people rushed to see the excitement in order to get a glimpse of the beautiful faces of Kyoto's nobles.
