It's not that forbearance will be exchanged for concession, not that silence can be purified, she is restrained and tries her best to restrain herself, but she will only be seen as a timid move. If her retreat is useless, then why should she grieve herself?

She doesn't want to retreat again and again, she doesn't want to be a foil for others forever, she doesn't want to be a laughing stock in the eyes of everyone, and she doesn't want to stay silently and enjoy herself when they are talking and chatting with interest.

Because of this, no matter how difficult it is to learn the rules and etiquette, she must try her best to be perfect, no matter how obscure the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are, she will not throw them aside as if nothing happened. Since so many people have been able to do these things, how can she give up so easily without trying them?

His eyes were full of eagerness, and the light in Xie Ning's eyes was a little brighter than the candle flame in the middle of the night.

Noticing the change in her expression before and after, Mama Qin nodded imperceptibly and said slowly, "It's good that you can see what you are lacking." Rules and etiquette are important, but dress, conversation, and talent are also indispensable. There is still a lot to learn in the future, so don't be in a hurry, let's take our time. ”

I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, Shaining still understands this truth. Seeing Mama Qin's words, she nodded hurriedly and agreed.

Mama Qin continued: "Your rules have been learned very well a few days ago. Dress up and talk, I'll give you more pointers, so you don't have to worry too much. As for talent and knowledge, let's wait for me to discuss it with King An for the time being, and then invite a famous teacher for you. ”

Xie Ning thought for a while, and then said loudly: "What Mama said is very true, I still have a lot to learn, and it is better to wait until His Royal Highness returns from Yandi to think about it." "The transaction between her and Qin Feng, Mama Qin seems to have learned from Qin Feng. I don't know if it's because of this, she used the money very casually, and Xie Ning couldn't help but feel a little painful, so as soon as she heard her mention it, she wanted to delay.

There is no merit, she is just helping out of the righteousness of friends, although the two have an appointment in advance, it is not good for her to take advantage of Qin Feng in the name of trading. In addition, she didn't want Qin Feng, who was in Yandi to suppress bandits, to spend her mind on this trivial matter.

Mama Qin is old and refined, and she couldn't hear Xie Ning's words, so she immediately snorted slightly, but didn't say anything about it, just said lightly: "I'm tired after tossing for a morning, you can also go back to the room to rest for an hour." When we wake up, let's move on. ”

"Okay." Because of Mama Qin's empowering words, Xie Ning almost didn't sleep last night, tossing and turning and thinking a lot, before he was at a loss at the beginning and gradually woke up. In the morning, I got up according to my usual habits, I didn't feel sleepy at that time, and after lunch, I was inevitably a little tired.

Now that she has Mama Qin's permission, she doesn't want to be happy in her heart. In response, he went back to the room, pulled up the silk quilt on the bed, and didn't bother to change his clothes, so he lay straight up. After a while, I fell asleep.

After sleeping for nearly two hours, when Xie Ning woke up again, it was already afternoon, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Xiaoyue who was sitting next to her fan, and couldn't help complaining: "Okay, what kind of fan are you playing here." While I'm asleep, it's only right to rest. ”

Not to mention, the maids in King An's Mansion are really outstanding, not to mention Mingshuang, as a henchman who can follow Qin Feng's side, she must have something extraordinary, but this Xiaoyue and Qingliu are also considerate and caring in everything. Since they came, Xie Ning has never been distracted by food, clothing, housing and transportation, and even Gu Sui has become much more diligent these days, standing with these three people, he has not lost at all in terms of momentum.

It's good to be considerate, but Xiaoyue is so meticulous, but it's a little too considerate. Xie Ning is not a noble girl from everyone's background, she grew up in the military camp, she does not have so much attention and pomp, and she is even more unwilling to enjoy herself for a while, so she goes to embarrass others and makes the people around her suffer.

"The slave is idle anyway, thinking that this year's summer is hot, so I will come over to fan you." Seeing that Xie Ning was about to get up, Xiaoyue picked up a pair of shoes she had placed under the bed and said with a smile.

Quickly snatching the shoes from her hand, Xie Ning shook his head helplessly while changing them: "Don't worry, I grew up in Shudi, how can I be afraid of heat?" You're all talking about the heat, and I think it's very cool in Beijing. ”

Xiaoyue pursed her lips and laughed, and followed Xie Ning out of the bedroom.

When he woke up, Xie Ning finally relieved his fatigue and returned to his former spirits. I was about to go to Mama Qin's house to look for someone, and when I walked outside the room, I saw her sitting at the stone table in the courtyard, casually fiddling with the flower branches in the bottle.

Xie Ning walked closer, nodded to Mama Qin, and then slowly sat down according to the rules she taught.

It stands to reason that most of these rules and etiquette are for outsiders to see. With the intimacy between her and Mama Qin, there is no need for this. But Xie Ning is just a new acquaintance with etiquette, for fear that he will accidentally forget a fine light, he will do it a few times on weekdays, even when there is no one, he does not dare to relax in the slightest.

She's worse than others, it's just time. If you can make up for this gap, it will be a little more effort, and what is it?

Mama Qin was very satisfied with her approach, nodded with a smile, raised her hand and motioned for her to sit down, before she said loudly: "I trimmed the hair on your face today, and now it seems that it is a lot more refreshing." You have a saying that is very right, piano, chess, calligraphy and painting are not achieved overnight, and it will take a lot of time. I can't be called proficient in this, so I don't mistake people's children. But I can give me some pointers. ”

Xie Ning said humbly: "Mama, please speak." ”

"Your appearance is not stunning, but you can barely catch the eye. I can guide you for a while, but I can't teach you for a lifetime, and you have to be attentive yourself, don't count on me for everything. ”

"Yes." Xie Ning thought to herself that she was ignorant, and on weekdays, Mama Qin's guidance to her, whether it was a long speech or a few numbers, she would secretly remember it in her heart, and when she practiced calligraphy, she would specifically transcribe it on paper so as not to forget. Even this morning, she also used the bronze mirror on the side to remember Mama Qin and Mingshuang's eyebrows and face-pulling techniques.

Seeing her response, Mama Qin let go of the hand holding the flower branch and continued: "Beauty is not in the skin, and it is difficult to change the appearance of people, but if you want to change your face, it is not difficult. There is nothing lacking in your facial features, but this complexion is really darker. Roll up your sleeves and I'll see. ”
