Xie An also thought that Mama Zhou would teach her manners, standing with a bowl of water on her head like on TV, or walking around with the water on her head, the water can't be sprinkled, and the skirt can't move, after all, she herself knows that she is a modern person, walking with a gust of wind, it's good not to run, where can she learn to look like a lady.

Who knew that Mama had been here for two days that week, but she didn't teach anything, where was the devil training she imagined at the beginning? Every day, she sat there and listened to Mama Zhou's words. Of course, it is not about ordinary people's affairs, but about the preferences of concubines in the palace, the temperament of the saints today, and the situation of the princes and princesses of each family. Among them, the one who talked about it the most was Prince Li Xiao Xiaohan.

“…… Prince Li's palace is the largest in Beijing, just in the middle of Changping Hutong, and there is no other house in the whole street. There are also a few large mansions across the street, which are reserved for the princes to open their mansions in the future. …… Although Prince Li's mansion is large, the palace is well managed, because the prince is not in good health, and there is no other hostess in the house, and now there is a housekeeper Wang Yong in charge. Wang Yong's old man is stubborn, and he will know when the girl sees him later......" Mama Zhou began to talk endlessly every time she talked about Li.

The more Xie An listened, the more wrong she became, how could she see someone else's housekeeper in a girl's house, and hurriedly interrupted her. To be honest, she was really happy when she heard that Mama Zhou came to be a nurturing mama, because living in ancient times, especially in this kind of mansion, if she can't adapt to it, she will definitely be eliminated. She is now terrified every time she comes into contact with others, for fear of being seen as flawed, just because she doesn't understand etiquette.

Thinking of this, Xie An also stood up and bowed to Mama Zhou, Mama Zhou was startled, and quickly stepped aside and said, "Girl, how can you do this, the old slave can't stand it." The old slave is here to help the girl on this errand. How dare you accept the girl's gift, it's really a long life. ”

As soon as Xie An heard this, he immediately followed her words and said: "Then I beg Mama to help me, I must have heard that I suffered from soul loss before, and I can't remember many things." I have even forgotten a lot of some daily etiquette and behavior, and I ask my grandmother to mention one or two. ”

Mama Zhou helped Xie An to sit down and said: "I have observed the girl in the past two days, and I have seen everyone's demeanor in her gestures, but some details can be improved, so that I will not lose face when socializing with other noble ladies." ”

Xie An also hurriedly asked Aimo to give Mama Zhou a seat, and said, "I still hope that Mama Zhou will give advice." ”

Mama Zhou didn't hide it, and said: "We women walk, lotus step Shanshan, although the pleated skirt is not immovable, but it is only limited to the slightest trembling. The Yuan family in Beijing once had a daughter, Yuan Shanshan, who was wearing a bride's red dress when she got married, with streamers half an inch wide hanging down from the skirt waist, and a bell tied at the end of the belt, but when she moved, there was only a faint jingle sound, like a wind chime on a pagoda on a distant mountain. The Queen Mother also heard about this at that time and praised her as a model among the ladies. Another point is that although women in this dynasty do not bind their feet, men are still people who advocate small feet. The girl is tall and has petite feet, which is just a good thing. It's just that sometimes when a girl walks with too big a step, she will show her feet, which is absolutely unacceptable. ”

Xie An also thought about it, but wasn't that the case. She hurriedly asked Mama Zhou how to walk without revealing her skirt, and memorized it carefully.

Mama Zhou saw that she was studious, so she taught her to bow hand in hand. The first is to make a fist with the right hand, form a palm with the left hand, and wrap or cover the right fist. Xie An also did it a few times, and Mama Zhou saw that there was no problem, so she nodded.

"Girl, you must remember that the left palm is a fist, this is Jibai. If the right hand is palmed and the left hand is clenched into a fist, it is a fierce worship, and it is only used during mourning. ”

Xie An also took a few more strokes attentively, and then followed Mama Zhou to learn the squatting ceremony and the Wanfu ceremony.

In this way, a few days later, Xie An also learned a lot from Mama Zhou. Mama Zhou deserves to come out of the palace, she knows all kinds of etiquette, and she is subtle in her observations, Xie An is also wrong, she immediately found that when she finds a mistake, Xie An only feels that she has made rapid progress.

This morning, she went to greet Mrs. Xie, and after the ceremony, the old lady's eyes lit up, and she smiled and said to Mother Rong next to her: "Look at the girl of the seventh sister, she is getting more and more breathing." The gesture is now the same again, and it looks like it is coming out of the big door. ”

Seeing that the old lady was happy, Mother Rong hurriedly picked something nice and said, "Isn't it?" Old lady, look at it, what is the difference between this and the nobles who came out of the palace? Anyway, I can't see the slave. How do you look like the old lady when he was young. ”

The old lady Xie was very comfortable, and even looked at Xie An and felt a lot more pleasing to the eye, so she smiled and said to her: "Seventh sister, there will be a few of my old sisters to come to see me today, they should all bring their grandchildren, I can't deal with so many leather monkeys as an old woman, you can come too." ”

"Yes." Xie An also said obediently.

"Grandmother, I don't follow. Why do you only call me my sister and not my granddaughter? The granddaughter also came to help the grandmother deal with the monkeys. Xie Anmin, who was on the side, heard this, and immediately became coquettish.

Although Mrs. Xie usually has a cold attitude towards the Wang family, she loves Xie Anmin in her heart, and when she saw her like this, instead of getting angry, she laughed: "You also said that people are monkeys, so aren't you the monkey king?" Okay, you can come too, and take care of those monkey cubs by the way. ”

Xie Anmin hurriedly thanked the old lady, turned his head to look at Xie Anxin who was sitting next to him, and turned his head proudly like a peacock.

Xie Anxin didn't speak, but gave the second wife next to her, who had been watching the excitement, and the second wife said to the old lady Xie: "Mother, those old sisters of yours are as respectable as you, and they have a lot of weight in Weicheng and even in the capital. You asked the fifth sister to follow, and they said that it was a compliment, and the fifth sister will also raise her head in her mother-in-law's house in the future. ”

Old Madam Xie glanced at Xie Anxin, saw that she was sitting there obediently and silently, and nodded.

In this way, when Mrs. Xie's three old sisters arrived at Xie's house with their five granddaughters, Xie An'an, Xie Anyi and Xie Anmin stayed with the old lady.

After greeting each other for a while, the three old ladies were also very satisfied with Xie An, only to feel that this girl was generous in her manners, good at talking, and full of style, as if she was born with it, and she was not pretentious at all.

"I wonder if you, the seven girls, have ever been married?" A white-haired old lady at the head asked.

This old lady's surname is Nie, and her mother's family is the richest man in Weicheng, Nie's family, and she married a Xiucai. Who would have thought that this Xiucai would later pass the imperial examination, win the sacred heart, and now he is the son of the country to supervise the sacrificial wine. Now that she asks this, she should value Xie Anyi and want to keep a matchmaker.
