Chapter 52 mentions

Qinglian added a cup of tea to Mingzhu, and said with a smile, "This is this year's new tea, do you still like it when my sister tastes it?" ”

"Okay." Mingzhu smiled and nodded.

"My sister often enters the palace, aren't the nobles in the palace very beautiful and dignified, I haven't entered the palace and am curious." Qinglian smiled embarrassedly.

Mingzhu glanced at her and said gently, "The nobles are naturally dignified and luxurious, in fact, I don't see the nobles much, only on the fifteenth day of the new year, the ladies will give the queen mother a greeting, under normal circumstances, I am in class or avoid." There's nothing fun in the palace, but the rules are bigger. ”

Qinglian nodded with some disappointment, with a complicated look in her eyes.

What a glorious thing it is to be educated by the Queen Mother, but it's a pity that I can't enter the palace to take a look, if I can make friends with Mingzhu, I will be able to raise my identity in the future.

Although she is the eldest daughter, she is still a concubine in the end, some families are still picky, and the third sister can have fun, but she has to work hard to please her mother-in-law, hoping to find a good family to marry in the future.

"I heard that the house also invited the grandmother in the palace to teach?" Mingzhu looked at Qinglian's face with some bitterness, expecting that the life of the concubine was not easy, not to mention that the eldest lady did not have her own biological daughter, and some things would not be so thoughtful.

Qinglian cheered up and nodded with a smile, "Yes, I was only invited recently, and the rules and etiquette are really first-class, and we admire it tightly." ”

Speaking of this, she was extremely happy in her heart, even if she let the grandmother in the palace teach her for a day, her reputation would be different.

"Well, the rules are all the same, it depends on who puts in more effort, what do you think of my second sister's rules?" Mingzhu asked rhetorically, with clarity in her big smart eyes.

"It's much better than me, I'm a little ashamed, I'm much older than my sister, but I'm not as good as my sister in terms of rules." Qinglian was a little embarrassed when she said this, lowered her head and was a little ashamed, and put her hands on her knees at a loss.

"The rules of this noble man are also learned, how can you get the cold plum and the bone fragrance if you don't suffer hardship. My second sister has good rules because she is willing to work hard, and when others do it five times, she does it ten times or twenty times in private. Behind the scenery are tears, which will not be seen by others. Mingzhu smiled and mentioned to her, they are all relatives.

"What my sister said is that the rules are good and people don't lose their reputation, so I should study hard." Qinglian also thinks that what Mingzhu said is right.

This etiquette rules go out to visit relatives and friends, this is the first impression, this is good, and the rest can continue, otherwise people will not throw you a second look.

Mingzhu smiled and nodded, this Qinglian is not bad, not to mention that she is good-looking, she has a gentle and delicate bearing, and she is also a governor in her heart, listening to the fourth sister, this cousin has a good temperament, very little more than sisters, she is mostly tolerant, and she also has two faces in the old lady, and she is obviously a smart person.

"My grandmother is also interesting, seeing that my second sister has worked hard, she is willing to say a few more heart-wrenching words, this is her ability to press the bottom of the box, and others may not know it. How else to say that the attitude determines a qiē, Mama is a human sperm, whether you are attentive or not, they all see it in their eyes, I often tell my sister that the ability to learn the hand is their own, and the rest are empty. Mingzhu chatted.

Qinglian nodded approvingly, "What my sister said is reasonable, it's really hard to learn the rules with my grandmother these days, but I think it's worth it, I used to sit in the well and watch the sky and thought I was not bad, but now I see my sister and I know that I lack too much, and my hard work is still not enough, I'm ashamed!" A hint of firmness flashed in her eyes, she had to work hard to go back, Jiaxuan's sister's rules were better than herself, why couldn't she do it, couldn't she be as good as her concubine.

"My sister tastes my family's dim sum, our family is the taste of Jiangnan, I don't know what my sister likes to eat, these are lighter." Qinglian pushed down the small plate.

Mingzhu obediently picked up a small snack and tasted it, nodding slightly, "It tastes good, it's different from the palace." ”

"It's not as good as the palace, our chef is from Jiangnan, and the old lady loves to eat this bite." Qinglian smiled.

"That's not necessarily, everyone has their own strengths. I invited my sister to visit my house another day, and we don't know anyone on weekdays, and we are all relatives who should go back and forth. Mingzhu smiled and greeted.

"Okay, my sister will give me a post, and I will definitely go." Qinglian was also very happy after hearing this, Mingzhu did not look down on her and was willing to invite her sisters, and she was still very happy in her heart.

Jia Xuan ran over, her little face was red because of running, and the smile on her face was cheerful and happy.

"Sister, look at me catching a butterfly, how beautiful! The fourth sister is so stupid, she can't catch it even after a long time. She chattered, and the light in her eyes shone like a brilliant jewel.

Mingzhu took out the handkerchief in her sleeve and carefully wiped her sweat, "Tired, drink a glass of water." ”

took a cup of warm tea and handed it to her, Jia Xuan didn't push it to pour it into her stomach, wiped her mouth with her hand casually, and Mingya couldn't wait to say, "Second sister, come soon." ”

"Here, I'll catch it, don't break the wings." Jia Xuan ran away with a huff.

"These girls are crazy. Go and pour a pot of hot water, and they will need to drink something hot when they are thirsty. Mingzhu turned her head to the girl and commanded.

"Go quickly, bring some delicious snacks and fruits, don't want tea, you want hot water, the fourth sister doesn't like tea, it's bitter." Qinglian also opened up.

"My sister's clothes are so beautiful." Qinglian sat down and chatted again after giving the order.

"I drew this myself, so it's okay. If you like me, I will go back and ask the maid to show you my book, all of which are patterns drawn by myself, some of the styles are from the palace, and some of them are learned from others. Mingzhu ripped off her clothes.

"That's good, I like to think about these things, I said how do you embroider your clothes so beautifully." Qinglian couldn't help but nod excitedly.

"Miss, the ladies said they were going to have lunch, so let's invite the ladies back to eat." The maid came to report.

"Okay, sister, let's go back." Qinglian got up and asked people to greet Mingya and them.

"Well, Mingya, you see you're sweating all over, drink a cup of hot water." Mingzhu hugged Mingya, who threw herself into her arms, and was busy asking people to pour water for her.

"Sister, the second sister said to make me a butterfly specimen, we caught three butterflies with different colors, but they are beautiful." Minya chirped like a little sparrow to announce the good news.

"Okay, your second sister has the most ghost ideas, let her get them for you. It's done to show off with your friends. Mingzhu patted Minya and coaxed her.

"Of course, I have them or not, and I envy them to death." Mingya proudly raised her white little chin.
