Chapter 2 Entering the Palace
On the first day of July, the sun shines just right. With the sound of clattering hooves, the carriages galloped towards the palace gate. Today is the day when the show girl enters the palace, and after the end of the day, the palace gate can not be re-entered.
Song Liansheng wore a new dress from Shiquanfang and said goodbye to her parents before leaving. Song Qingxiu sat in front of the hall with the Chu family in the main room, and only after Song Liansheng knelt down and offered farewell tea did she get up.
"Liansheng is here, and she is very reluctant to give up her mother. This bit of Ding'an silver can be regarded as a little bit of motherhood. ”
Taking the money bag stuffed by the Chu family, Song Liansheng thanked him in a low voice. According to custom, before entering the palace, Ding'an silver will be prepared, which is intended to bless the road to be safe and stable.
Song Qingxiu saw that she looked down, and she only regarded it as her daughter's love before she went out. Seeing that the hour was about the same, he didn't want to say anything more. only told carefully: "The palace is sinister, remember not to venture." If you are bullied, just endure it. It's not too late to wait until the early days. ”
"Don't worry, daddy, my daughter knows." Song Liansheng listened calmly, but she couldn't bear the contempt in her heart. She just couldn't bear it too much, so she ended up in such a tragic end. I still remember that when I was desperate, I wanted to ask my family for help, but what I got was Song Qingxiu's masterstroke to break off the relationship between father and daughter!
Raising his head, the expression on Song Liansheng's face was as indifferent. In this life, she will no longer have any expectations for the Song family. Out of this door, she has nothing to do with the Song family!
"The palace is no better than the home, a qiē careful. This is Lingjiao, let her serve by your side in the future. ”
After Song Qingxiu finished speaking, a maid with a delicate face walked out behind him. The sparkling eyes add a bit of translucency.
"Lingjiao has seen the eldest lady." Respectfully stepped forward to salute, she still had a burden on her body, which was the clothes that Song Liansheng had packed up yesterday.
Song Liansheng's biological mother died early, and she was only a concubine in the Song Mansion. So since she was a child, she has only been a nursing grandmother, when has there been a maid to serve? If it weren't for the fear of losing face in the palace, I was afraid that she wouldn't be able to enjoy this treatment.
looked at her quietly for a few seconds, but Song Liansheng did not answer. Yiqiē's memories all followed the trajectory of her previous life, she stretched out her hand to help the woman in front of her, and said to Song Qingxiu: "Thank you, Daddy." ”
A whip sounded, and the sound of clattering horses' hooves carried the expectations of the Song family towards the direction of the palace. Lifting a corner of the car curtain and looking at the scenery speeding by outside, Song Liansheng was rarely a little surprised.
It was this path that allowed her to step into the boundless abyss. The point of no return, the point of no return, I'm afraid that's what it looks like, right?
"Miss, are you uncomfortable?" Seeing Song Liansheng frowning, Lingjiao, who was packing up her things, wondered. This carriage is already the best in the Song Mansion, but the cushion is insufficient, and it is inevitable that there will be some bumps.
Thinking of the master's instructions before entering the palace, the caring look on Lingjiao's face became even more urgent.
Shaking his head, Song Liansheng retracted his thoughts, "It's okay, it's just a little tired." ”
"That young lady lies down first, there is still a distance from the palace, you can rest first." As she spoke, she conveniently put the soft pillow behind her, and then spread out the blanket and gently covered her body.
Lying down, Song Liansheng also took advantage of the rest. I thought that if I was reborn in a lifetime, I would be able to be light and light. But I didn't want to, and before I even entered the palace gate, my thoughts began to become anxious.
It seems that she still overestimated herself.
The carriage swayed all the way, and Song Liansheng, who only planned to recuperate, fell asleep in the bumps. When she woke up, with a long cry, she was at the gate of the palace.
"Who's in the car?"
The guards guarding the door stepped forward, ready to check their identities. The little guy driving the horse hurriedly came down and stepped forward with a smile, "Official, this is the young lady of Lord Song's family, the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, who just said goodbye to her parents and is rushing to enter the palace!" ”
Hearing that it was the young lady of the official family, the guard paused. Then another person came out from the side, dressed as an attendant, and said proudly: "Oh? Is it the young lady of the Song family, with a brand? ”
All the selected show girls will be given a wooden card. The name is engraved on the front, and the national seal of Daqing is on the back.
The little guy was about to answer, when he suddenly heard a light cough. Then as soon as the curtain opened, with Lingjiao's support, I first saw a white jade slender hand, and then Song Liansheng, who was covered with a veil, slowly descended.
Even through the tulle, Song Liansheng's eyebrows and eyes are still good. When the chamberlain saw it, he put away a little arrogance. When Song Liansheng approached, he was even more polite.
"But Miss Song?"
didn't answer immediately, Song Liansheng glanced at Lingjiao. Then I saw her take out a wooden card from her sleeve and said respectfully, "Father-in-law, please." ”
After taking the wooden card and checking it carefully, the father-in-law gradually smiled. After returning the sign to Lingjiao, it will be released. And at this moment, Lingjiao took out another bag of things and stepped forward, and said with a smile: "My young lady sees that her father-in-law is hard, and she has a little heart, and she forgets that her father-in-law should not refuse." ”
Secretly weighing the weight in his hand, the smile in the father-in-law's eyes was even worse, and he said again and again: "Miss Xie Song understands, it's a hot day, there are many people entering the palace, and Chuxiu Palace is even more noisy." I heard that the courtyard in the west is cooler, so Miss might as well go and see it first. ”
Knowing that he had words in his words, Song Liansheng nodded and said softly, "Thank you, father-in-law." ”
Chuxiu Palace is where the show girls live, there are many people, if you can find a clean place inside, it is really rare. The father-in-law accepted her bounty and gave her a message in return. After all, in this palace, what I am most afraid of is owing favors.
After Song Liansheng entered, there were already some show girls waiting there. There were two grandmothers standing in front of them, holding signs against the list. After the number of people was full, he led the show girls to the direction of Chuxiu Palace.
Along the way, the sound of discussion in my ears was endless. After all, it was the first time to enter the palace, and curiosity and excitement were inevitable. Song Liansheng walked quietly in the crowd, silently looking at the surrounding scenery.
The boxy wall is like a layer of heavy shackles, locking people tightly in this deep palace, consuming the original passion day by day, and the remaining endless loneliness and sorrow, accompanied by the cycle of the four seasons, over and over again......
"What are you thinking?"
An abrupt voice interrupted her thoughts, and Song Liansheng turned her head and saw a beautiful face. The big eyes were crystal clear, and the reflection of his own stunned was imprinted in them.
"You are?" Song Liansheng was a little puzzled, in her memory, she had never seen the woman in front of her. However, the scene of entering the palace at that time was not very clear, and if you forgot it, it was also very common.
However, if she doesn't remember, then I'm afraid she has nothing to do with herself......
Seeing that her face began to suddenly start again, the woman stretched out her hand and shook it in front of her eyes, "I'm Tangerine, who are you?" ”
"Song Liansheng", coping with it hastily, just entered the palace, Song Liansheng didn't want to entangle with others.
Unexpectedly, Tangerine Citrus continued: "My father said that oranges are oranges when they are born in Huainan, and oranges are oranges when they are born in Huaibei, so they named me Tangerine Citrus." ”
She blinked mischievously, looking very lively, "Why are you called Liansheng?" Any allusions? ”
Sighing in his heart, Song Liansheng only said that he couldn't dodge, so he didn't look back and said: "I was born next to the lotus pond, and there is no allusion." ”
At the beginning, her mother was watching lotus in the shallow pond, but she didn't want to give birth by the pool. And when she was born, a lotus bloomed in the pool. Therefore, there is a saying that "shallow pond and lotus birth".
However, Song Liansheng didn't want to talk more about Tangerine.
But obviously, she underestimated the skill of the woman in front of her. A few steps to keep up with Song Liansheng, who was walking quickly, Tangerine said with great interest: "My father is King Muning, what does your father do?" ”
Hearing the three words of King Muning, Song Liansheng was stunned when he heard this, "You are from Wuliangha?" ”
Tangerine nodded, "Yes, my name is Wuliangha Tangerine, easy to remember, right?" ”
Ignoring her inviting eyes, Song Liansheng pondered to herself. Wuliangha is the collective name of the grassland region in the north of Daqing, which is governed by the three kings of Muning, Shouning and Shengning. Wuliangha was an important frontier for the defense of the Xiongnu in the north, and the three kings belonged directly to the emperor and were extremely important centers of power.
And this King Muning is famous for his military exploits. It is rumored that he is brave and good at fighting, invincible in a hundred battles, and is a rare good general in Daqing. Among the three kings, the emperor attaches the most importance to him.
Thinking of this, Song Liansheng changed his indifference, and said: "My father is just a waiter in the Ministry of Rites, and I don't know the county lord if I want to come." ”
Before the show girl was sealed, her position was the same. But among them, the daughter of the great official Wang Sun is not subject to it.
Although it has not yet been canonized, according to the identity of the orange orange, it will not be low. If you make a bad deal with her, I'm afraid you won't be able to please her. Thinking of this, Song Liansheng was indifferent before she returned to the square, and slowly chatted with Tangerine Citrus.
Although most of the time she just listens, nodding her head from time to time is better than not responding. xh:.74.240.212
