As for the matter of Sanniangwei's feet, it was the most insignificant, and no one mentioned it.
After pretending to rest for two days, Sanniang limped and went to Xu Jiarou.
She put aside the affairs of the Hongyuan Poetry Club for the time being, and if she has a goal, she is not afraid that they will not show her stuff.
But the top priority is still Xu Jiarou's side, because the draft is imminent, Sanniang needs to mention her.
After Xu Jiarou invited Wang Qiying to enter the palace, Aunt Hu treated her well, and sent a maid to take care of her, and her life was quite moist.
When she went, Xu Jiarou saw her limping and hurriedly stepped forward to help: "I heard yesterday that you broke your foot in the academy, what's the matter?" Not good yet? ”
Sanniang was afraid of the maid next to Xu Jiarou, so she gave her a look.
Xu Jiarou is not stupid, seeing Sanniang like this, she understands the meaning.
So she said to the maid, "Go down and make a pot of tea, the water must be boiled, but it must be cooled when it is served." ”
In fact, she deliberately dragged this maid, Xu Jiarou always thought that this maid was Aunt Hu's person, and it was inappropriate to send her away.
The maid didn't suspect anything, and took Xu Jiarou's order and retreated.
Not long after she went out on her front foot, Xu Jiarou hurriedly closed the door, and then came over and asked Sanniang: "What is the unspeakable hidden of your injury, do you have to send her away?" ”
Sanniang said: "This little injury is a trivial matter, I am here for your business." ”
Xu Jiarou heard her say this, and knew that it was for the draft: "You can rest assured, everything you should prepare is ready, and the rest depends on your fate." ”
"This is the second ......" Sanniang continued: "Ming'er, I asked Mama Shen to send two good hair noodles over, the palace is not as good as the outside, you are dressed decently and naturally welcome." Also, being decent can also make people feel that the Wang family values you. ”
Xu Jiarou didn't think so: "I think you think too much, with my appearance, you will definitely not be selected." ”
In fact, Sanniang didn't understand what King Qi liked about her at the beginning, Xu Jiarou's appearance can't be said to be beautiful, and she can't learn more than Erer.
But there are some things that really can't be seen on the surface, and who knows if there is a destiny in them?
Sanniang persuaded her: "Let's take precautions, even if you really can't choose, those two heads will be considered the wedding gift I will give you." Later, when you come out of the palace, there will be two more dowries. ”
Xu Jiarou was full of gratitude: "Coming here from Quzhou, apart from you, I really don't feel nostalgic." If I still have a chance to come out of the palace, the first thing I will do is come to you. ”
"That's all for later, let's talk about the present. If you are really chosen, what will happen to you in the future? ”
She thought for a moment and nodded: "Cheng, I'll listen." ”
Sanniang said to her: "If you are chosen, you will be the emperor's concubine, and the first thing to bear the brunt of is to serve the king well." Secondly, today's Zhonggong Niangniang is a jealous person, rather than carefully avoiding trouble, it is better to climb this high branch. ”
Xu Jiarou felt that something was wrong: "Since the middle palace is jealous, I want to serve the king well, and I want to climb the high branches of the middle palace, there seems to be some contradiction between the two." ”
"It's not a contradiction, as you said, you don't look good, so you're not on the cusp. Those excellent women are easy to be selected, but they are more likely to be targeted. You are different from them, after you enter the palace, you only need to be humble and low-key, bow down in front of the queen, and the queen will naturally give you the opportunity to fight with those women. ”
She understood now: "What do you mean by clinging to the Middle Palace and taking advantage of the queen's jealousy to benefit yourself?" ”
Fortunately, Xu Jiarou is not stupid, Sanniang nodded and said, "This is a shortcut, otherwise you won't come out on top." ”
After thinking about it carefully, Xu Jiarou also felt that this move was feasible: "Be taught, if I have the life to be favored by the emperor, I will have to worry more about you in the future." ”
"If that's the case, I'll do my best."
Xu Jiarou smiled softly and asked Sanniang: "It's just that I still don't know something, you save me and give me a face, this can all be figured out, but why do you want to guide me to do those things?" There is an old saying, "No profit is too early, so do you also have something to do? ”
If you don't want to say anything, presumably Xu Jiarou won't believe it, Sanniang said: "You have also seen the situation of the long house, a large family wants to live, and my mother and her wife can't bear the heavy responsibility, so they can only count on my brother." If you can have a place in the palace, I hope you can help him. ”
Xu Jiarou still knows about the royal family's room, and everyone in the house will say that the third room is still the most talked.
"I know, I remember your kindness, and I remember your request. If that day comes, I'll help you. ”
When Sanniang heard this, she got up and bowed to her: "Then thank you." ”
Xu Jiarou hurriedly came over and helped her up: "I can't help me so much, I should agree to this request." Besides, I already regard you as a bosom sister in my heart, and it's not good for you to see you like this. ”
At this time, the maid who was sent by Xu Jiarou to make tea came back, came in with a teapot and didn't even knock on the door.
Xu Jiarou and Sanniang glanced at each other, quite helpless.
The maid came in with tea, poured a cup for the two of them, and waited aside without any intention of leaving.
Sanniang got up and drank, chatting with Xu Jiarou every sentence.
When this cup of tea is drunk, Sanniang will leave.
When I went back to live at night, I saw Liu Er busy working in Wang Qilian's house, and all the quilts and mattresses were taken out to dry.
Mama Shen held hands on the side, and Sanniang asked her, "Why did you suddenly remember to dry the mattress?" ”
Liu Er's ears were so sharp that she listened to Sanniang's question, and hurriedly replied: "Someone just came to report that the old lady is coming back." The eldest lady went out with the old lady, and the old lady was coming back, so she was naturally going to come back, so I was busy cleaning up. ”
After careful calculation, Wang Qilian has been gone for a long time, and it's time to come back.
"Didn't say when it would arrive?"
Liu Er shook her head: "Since I arrived in the palace, I have never seen the old lady come back at a designated time, they all say hello in advance, and they will come back in a few days anyway." ”
It's a good thing that the old lady Wang is back, so as not to make trouble for these people in the house.
There is also a second room, and I didn't say hello to the old lady when I came back, so I don't know how it will end.
Just as she was thinking about it, Lishu hurriedly came in from outside.
When I came, I came to Sanniang and whispered in my ear: "Miss, Zhang Lin said that someone is looking for you, let you go to the back door......"
