Chapter 8: Face Saint
In an instant, a few days have passed, and the palace order has tested the advance and retreat etiquette of all Baolin for the last time, and finally it is the day of the saint. The official family is busy with daily court affairs, and the time to face the saint is chosen to start in the afternoon.
Since just after lunch, all the new Baolin have been bathed in incense and carefully dressed up. According to the regulations, all pull the cloud bun, a lock of black hair hangs down tactfully, the hairpin on the head is a gold silk hanging bead step shake, two palace flowers, and the silver silk Huasheng is spurted.
Wearing the same color and style of Baolin palace clothes, a lotus pink Baohua Luo skirt fluttering, and a palm-wide green embroidered brocade belt tightly tied around the waist. Shoulders of five-color shadow yarn shawl hanging to the waist. Slightly exposed skirt tip small red satin silk warbler toe toe.
Light makeup, thin powder of the palace, slightly dyed rouge, smoky eyebrows and ink lightly, lips painted red lipstick. Lin Yuzhen's face was made of Mei Caiping's snow grease, and it was restored to its original cleanness. It seems that he has forgotten about the lotus viewing platform, and he began to laugh and jump again. Zang Jiao and others were finally relieved.
Before the time came, the Baolin people led the strong and healthy white-clothed palace people to walk along the palace road along the palace road with their shoulders carried by the red-clothed palace orders who taught etiquette in the Xuan Pavilion, and went to the Chunxi Palace.
Fifteen Baolin gathered to meet today, and each stood quietly behind the leading palace commander. After a long time, the door of the palace opened, and the inner attendant slowly announced: "Chuan and Yunxuan Gu Baolin, Yan Baolin, Meng Baolin, Duanmu Baolin, and Cao Baolin enter the interior to see you." The five women bowed their heads and walked into the temple to bow down and bow to the driver.
Zhao Jing wears a white jade and gold beam on his head, his sword eyebrows are in his temples, and his eyes are like morning stars. Dressed in a blue thin brocade silver silk five-clawed dragon robe, with a jade brocade belt around his waist, he sat on a golden silk nanmu pan dragon chair. Concubine Xian and Concubine Shu sat down on both sides of the palace dress. Condescendingly, he looked at the five women who were dressed in the same attire, but each with a different style.
The chamberlain read aloud: "Qingzhou envoy Gu Hanyi, sixteen years old. Yan Qiaoyue, a child of Pingchang County, is fifteen years old, and Meng Jinxuan, the daughter of Hejian Mansion, is seventeen years old. Duanmu Ying, the monarch of Pingzhou Mansion, is seventeen years old. Cao Caidie, the daughter of the commander of the Beijing Cavalry, was sixteen years old. Knock to see Your Majesty, knock to see the virtuous concubine, knock to see the lady concubine. ”
Zhao Jinglong's eyes swept over the women and were silent, and Concubine Xian smiled and pointed at Gu Hanyi and said: "This Gu Baolin is very beautiful, and the second selection contains his poetry and painting, which can be described as talented and beautiful." Worthy of serving the official family. ”
Concubine Shu also nodded her head carefully and praised: "It is said that among the new Baolin, Gu Baolin and Jin Baolin are the most outstanding in color, this Gu sister has ice muscles and jade bones, and her eyebrows are picturesque, but she really lives up to her reputation." ”
Zhao Jing raised his long black eyebrows and asked, "Since Yunshi and painting are both unique, I don't know what kind of painting I am good at?" Gu Hanyi's voice was clear and tactful: "Back to Your Majesty, the little girl likes to depict flowers and birds in blue and white." ”
"Oh? The white drawing is very meticulous and meticulous, and you can solve the five strokes? Zhao Jing himself is also good at calligraphy and painting, so he can't help but think a little bit of it.
"Flat, round, stay, heavy, become indispensable, the little girl can solve it." Gu Hanyi replied respectfully. Zhao Jing smiled, and his thick eyebrows flew into his temples: "Elegant, give her a set of green jade painting tools and her, and become a talented person." Gu Hanyi kowtowed and thanked everyone with envy.
"Official, this Yan Baolin is good at singing and dancing, can he get into the eye?" Concubine Xian really lived up to her name, and recommended Yan Qiaoyue again. Zhao Jing smiled: "If you talk about singing and dancing, there are still people who can compete with the feather dance of the treasure bottle?" ”
The treasure bottle is the name of Concubine Shu, and her eyes fluttered towards Zhao Jing and smiled: "The official family has come to trick the concubine, and the concubine has no leisure to sing and dance after giving birth to Changtai." The flesh around this waist is half a finger thick,"
Concubine Xian shook her head and smiled: "Official, look at Sister Shu, they are all mothers and they are still so jumpy." Zhao Jing also smiled: "Since the treasure bottle can't dance anymore, I will teach the Yan family to live with you, and teach her to dance for you when she is idle, and you can also relieve your boredom." "This is to be promoted to Yan Qiaoyue, Yan Qiaoyue is overjoyed and thankful.
In a moment, two Baolin positions had been promoted one after another, Duanmu Ying bowed her head and stood solemnly, secretly anxious in her heart, but Zhao Jing pointed at her and said, "This woman, I look a little like Li Wanyi?" ”
Duanmu Ying replied softly: "The sage's eyes are like torches, the little girl Duanmu Ying, the mother of the family and the mother of Li Niangniang are sisters-in-law. Concubine Shu quietly poked her a glance and pretended to talk to Concubine Xian.
"Your sister is very gentle and peaceful, you are a little clever, and it seems that you are only similar in appearance. In this case, I will fulfill your move to the Bird Feather Palace to live with Li Wanyi. Zhao Jing said lightly.
Duanmu Ying thanked her with joy, and the rest of Meng Jinxuan and Cao Caidie, Zhao Jing waved her hand, and Concubine Shu ordered: "You wait and step aside first, and pass the next batch in." ”
"Huaizhou Governor Shi Nu Su Yuchan, fifteen years old. Jiang Qin, the chief bookkeeper of Cangzhou, is seventeen years old. Hua Nianlan, the daughter of the security doctor, is 17 years old. Duan Huaiyun, the daughter of Cangcao in Yunzhou, is sixteen years old. The daughter of Jingling Tailang, Yuan Yan, is seventeen years old. Knock to see Your Majesty, knock to see the virtuous concubine, knock to see the lady concubine. ”
Concubine Shu looked at the five women, and said with a smile: "Official, although this Su Baolin is only fifteen years old, he is tall and slender, and he doesn't look like he is fifteen years old." ”
Zhao Jing took a sip of tea: "Well, I am so tall at the age of fifteen, and I think I can grow a little longer." Concubine Shu instructed the palace order to go up and lift the corners of Su Yuchan's skirt slightly, and said with a smile: "Although she is tall, the golden lotus under the skirt is delicate and small." The embroidery on these shoes is very good, but you embroidered it yourself? ”
Su Yuchan blushed and said: "Back to Concubine Shu, the little girl has been bound since she was three years old, and the foot-bound grandmother invited is very famous in Huaizhou." If the mother likes this begonia pattern, the little girl will embroider a pair to give to the mother when she goes back. ”
"It's a well-behaved woman, is Concubine Shu willing to leave her in your palace to embroider some tricks with you?" Zhao Jing tapped the black glazed rabbit teacup in his hand. "The concubine is naturally willing." This is what left Su Yuchan behind.
Seeing that Zhao Jing's expression was slightly sleepy, Concubine Xian said softly: "The official family is lacking, why don't you announce the remaining five Baolin together, and the official family can rest earlier." ”
Zhao Jing stroked his forehead: "It's really a little tired, this morning Song Sheng, the secretary of the Ministry of War, went to the book again to ask for more military food and silver because the Baishan Yi people repeatedly violated the border, and the ordnance, grain and grass were greatly consumed."
The household department also said that the reclamation of barren land was insufficient, and the people were not able to pay enough taxes at the time of green and yellow, and the grain depot was empty. There was a lot of noise all morning. Then teach them all to come in. ”
Jin Zangjiao and the others had been standing outside for a long time, and it was when their legs were sore and their waists were weak. When they heard that they were called in, they were all overjoyed. Lin Yuzhen whispered words in her mouth as she walked, Amitabha, it's finally my turn, fortunately, the fat powder is still thin, otherwise it would be nonsense.
"Jin Zangjiao, the daughter of Qingxian County, is sixteen years old. Lin Yuzhen, the daughter of Ping'an County, is 14 years old. Mo Lanyi, the county magistrate of Fen County, is fifteen years old. Wu Huili, the deputy envoy of the Beijing regiment, is seventeen years old. Mei Caiping, a doctor of the Taiyi Bureau, is 17 years old. Knock to see Your Majesty, knock to see the virtuous concubine, knock to see the lady concubine. ”
In the sound of warblers, Zhao Jing seemed to have found some fun, and his plump lips slightly hooked a smile. Concubine Shu has always been good at looking at colors, and she paid attention to the women, but she didn't find it. Simply curled his red lips slightly to Zhao Jing and said, "Since the official family is lacking, can we take a look at these younger sisters?" The concubines should also serve the official family and rest early. ”
Zhao Jing stroked his chin and smiled slightly: "I have two sentences here, you can learn them for me in turn." Concubine Shu raised her eyebrows: "What kind of new trick is this by the official family?" The concubine also wanted to hear what those two sentences were. ”
"Uproar and majesty!" Zhao Jing said these two sentences word by word. Zangjiao and Mo Lanyi were beating wildly, and they quietly glanced at each other, and their faces changed.
"If the official tells you to read it, hurry up and read it." Concubine Xian urged. Lin Yuzhen stood first on the left, cleared her throat and said, "Uproar, majestic posture", the voice is crisp and pleasant, like a birdsong and a warbler.
Zhao Jing smiled slightly: "The voice is clear and pleasant, small and moving, but you are a good girl, you are a talented person." Lin Yuzhen was stunned, and the attendant next to her urged, "Lin Cairen is not faster, thank you for your longen." Then he hurriedly threw himself on the ground and thanked him.
Cao Caidie, who was standing beside the hall and hung her head, suddenly opened a pair of hanging eyes, her fingers were pinched white, and her face was as gray as dirt. Lin Yuzhen got up and stood Tingting, glanced at Cao Caidie out of the corner of her eye, and her cherry lips raised slightly.
Then there is Wu Huili, she was born in a military attache family, and her eyebrows are lush and heroic. Finish it with a refreshing and sharp read. Zhao Jing shook his head, and it was Mei Caiping's turn.
Concubine Xian suddenly pointed at Mei Caiping and said, "Your father is Mei Daoji of the Taiyi Bureau?" Mei Caiping replied that it was her father. Concubine Xian suddenly hid her mouth and laughed. Shufei Qi said: "Sister Xian has always been steady, why did she smile like this when she mentioned a doctor?" ”
Concubine Xian smiled: "Official, tell me a joke for you to hear." The concubine went back to the Crane Year Palace to ask the queen mother to say goodbye, and it happened that the Tai Hospital ordered the old man Wang and the queen mother to ask for a pulse, and asked who was the most proficient in medicine in the Taiyi Bureau.
If Wang Dadao talks about medicine, he should be Mei Daoji Mei Doctor, and the queen mother didn't hear it clearly, so she chased and asked who it was? Moldy in the end? Moldy I? Who is the mold of the hell? ”
Zhao Jing and Concubine Shu leaned back and forth, Concubine Shu laughed with tears in her eyes, raised her sleeves to cover her face and called Yilan to get the fine paper. Yilan couldn't help but smile and brought the paper up, and everyone in the palace bowed their heads and couldn't help laughing.
Zhao Jing clapped his hands and smiled: "In this case, I will be moldy for a lifetime, but I can't teach my daughter to be moldy for another life." I will give you to live in the Huang Xiu of Luomei Palace. Wipe out the musty. Mei Caiping thanked her in surprise, joy and amusement.
In the hall, only Jin Zangjiao and Mo Lanyi were left standing in the middle, and Concubine Shu pointed at Mo Lanyi and said, "Hurry up and repeat the doctrine that the official family just recited." Mo Lanyi's body trembled slightly, and he said softly.
Concubine Xian looked at her with pity in her eyes: "This Mo Baolin was chosen by the concubine that day, and the concubine saw her delicate and weak that day. Thinking about it, she is docile, and it is recorded in the show girl that she can also use some massage skills. How does the official family look? ”
Zhao Jing saw that her waist was thin and thin, and her face was delicate and moving, which was a little pitiful. nodded and said: "Women's talent and appearance are secondary, gentleness and obedience are the right principles." Let's go to Hanzhu Palace. "Moran Yiru bowed to Shane.
There was only one Jin Zangjiao left, and Zangjiao raised Yingying's eyes and glanced at Zhao Jing, but saw him smiling on his face, the corners of his lips were slightly hooked, and his fingers were gently tapping on the table with the red sandalwood carved Wanfu reunion pattern and looking at himself. The two looked at each other and just met each other.
