Chapter 120: Notes
"Girl's house, walking, sitting and lying, frowning and smiling, are all exquisite, don't mention these first, let's start with the salute today, I'll do it first, you watch with your heart, and I'll tell you the main points later." Mama Zheng swept in front of the four little girls in front of her with a straight face, walked to the middle position, slowly walked a few steps forward, and then paused, put her hands on her waist, and squatted down to salute.
Ordinary salutes, Mama Zheng always has a kind of magic when she does it, which makes people involuntarily attracted.
Jiang Zhi and the little girl next to her shook hands excitedly, you push me, I looked at you, my eyes lit up, I felt that this Mama Zheng had real skills, if they learned it, they would also benefit themselves in the future.
When Mama Zheng finished finishing, she looked back at them, her eyes swept over Jiang Chun and Jiang Quinoa, and finally fell on Jiang Zhi, and said, "Second Miss, Madam said that you grew up in the capital since you were a child, and you are used to going in and out of the eunuch's house, so you come to do this simple salute." ”
was named, Jiang Zhi took two steps forward with apprehension, thinking about Mama Zheng's actions just now, and moved forward step by step.
Jiang Qu frowned and looked at Mama Zheng's face, but saw that her face remained unchanged, and she still looked seriously, so she hurriedly pretended to cough and retracted her mind.
Jiang Zhi finished the salute, and her heart was sudden, and she looked at Mama Zheng tightly, waiting for her to comment.
"Next, please ask Miss Liu to do it again." Mama Zheng's eyes fell on the little girl who had just held hands with Jiang Zhi.
The former Hu family listened to Liu's proposal, and the next day he sent the bundle of silver to Mama Zheng, and asked Liu Xiaojun to come over to meet Mama Zheng. I met with Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun, and we can also get familiar with each other when we study together in the future.
Liu Xiaojun looks like Hu, but he is not like Hu's long-sleeved dance. Be tactful. She grew up with Jiang Zhi since she was a child, and she thought she was from the capital, although she was careful to hide it, but when she looked at Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun, she always unconsciously brought out contempt, and sometimes she would bring out some pride when she spoke. Jiang Quinoa didn't hear it, Liu Xiaojun didn't look down on her, and she didn't want to go up. Jiang Chun really didn't hear Liu Xiaojun's voice. I simply felt that Liu Xiaojun's gaze at her made me uncomfortable.
Four little girls, the second one let herself come out to demonstrate, Liu Xiaojun raised her head. The first two walks are saluted.
Next are Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun, who have not undergone formal training, and usually just watch how others salute and learn some fur. At this time, it is naturally not as good as Jiang Zhi and Liu Xiaojun.
Wait until all four of them are done. Mama Zheng then began to talk about the main points of the salute, and commented on the specific situation of each person, and everyone felt that what she said was very to the point, and she got to the point at once. In addition to Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun, there are many things that need to be modified, Jiang Zhi and Liu Xiaojun are much better, only some small places need to be paid attention to, and it is good to change them slowly. They are still young, and the most important thing in their salute is to be upright. Other things will be taught slowly later.
The whole afternoon was spent in the contact salute, and the four little girls were tossed and their whole bodies ached. Fortunately, now that I have just learned, everyone's enthusiasm is still relatively high, and I was attracted by Mama Zheng's hand casually, thinking about a gain for a fee, but I was not much discouraged.
The maid helped Liu Xiaojun get out of the carriage, Hu Shi was already waiting at the door, and when she came back, she came over to help hold on, and asked with concern: "But it's hard?" ”
Liu Xiaojun's legs were weak and he couldn't use his strength, but his spirit was good, and he shook his head: "It's worth the hard work, mother, you don't know Mama Zheng's ability, I can learn a little bit of those things casually, and I will be of infinite use in the future." Besides, I am a businessman's daughter to be able to learn etiquette from my grandmother who came out of the palace, which is also my blessing, even if I work hard, I can endure it. ”
Hu Shi was both happy and sad when he heard it, if he hadn't been born in a businessman family like them, how could Xiaojun use such hard work, that is, to learn etiquette and look at the faces of others.
"How do you feel about spending an afternoon with Jiang Quinoa and them today?" Hu Shi still remembered this Liu's special attitude towards Jiang Quinoa in his heart, and asked.
Hearing her mother mention this, Liu Xiaojun paused and said: "I can't see anything, I just feel that my eldest cousin doesn't like to talk, that Miss Tang talks a lot, but she is too idiotic, I can't even listen to what she says, poor eldest cousin still has to deal with her." Today, Mama Zheng praised me for doing well with Cousin Zhi, the eldest cousin has made great progress, only this Miss Tang, Mama Zheng said that she still needs to practice. At the end, there was some contempt in his tone.
Hu Shi heard it and advised: "Your attitude had better be restrained, if your aunt sees it and provokes her to dislike, you will cry at that time." ”
Liu Xiaojun pouted, picked up the blue and white porcelain teacup on the table, took a sip of tea, and exclaimed: "This time, the taste of Longjing is right." ”
Hu Shi felt sorry for her, put the newly made dim sum in the kitchen on the table, and said, "Hurry up and eat some dim sum pads." ”
Looking at her daughter's beautiful face, her demeanor is dignified and delicate, if she hadn't been born in her own home, she didn't know how rich and noble she would be.
"I heard from your aunt that a few days ago, Changning Bofu sent a post to Jiang Mansion and invited Miss Jiang Mansion and Miss Tang to participate in the flower viewing banquet. This Changning Bo is a noble family, and there are no officials and daughters who come in and out of the banquet, and this time he gave a post to the Jiang Mansion, naturally because your uncle was promoted not long ago, and now he has a little reputation outside. So what is Jiang Chun's identity? has lived with her widowed mother since she was a child, if she hadn't relied on Jiang Mansion, would she have been able to enter and exit Changning Bo Mansion? You have to be a little longer, you are also a relative of Jiang Mansion, and you are much closer to Ah Zhi and Jiang Quinoa than her, but don't let her take the lead in everything. Hu Shi said, as long as he thought of taking his children back to his hometown a few days ago and missing the time for Changningbo's next post, he regretted it in his heart. At that time, if Xiaojun was also in Jiangfu, how could she not have a place to attend the banquet.
"She's going too?" Liu Xiaojun held half a piece of dim sum and exclaimed, she also heard Jiang Zhi talk about going to Changning Bo Mansion to participate in the flower viewing banquet yesterday, and she was crazy with jealousy at that time, but she also knew that she was the daughter of a businessman, and she didn't have that identity to go to Xungui's house, and she didn't dare to be delusional. Now I know that even the soil buns who grew up in the countryside can go to the banquet, why can't she go?
Hu Shi looked at Liu Xiaojun's back as he walked away angrily. Sigh.
As soon as Cai Yin and Cai Lu helped Jiang Zhi and Jiang Chun back to Xinglan Courtyard, Jiang Shun rushed over.
"Why are you in such a hurry?" Jiang asked Quino.
Jiang Shun took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Jiang Quinoa, saying, "I was selling willow baskets in the market today, and a small servant came over and stuffed this paper to me, saying that I wanted me to pass it on to you." ”
"For me?" Jiang Quinoa curiously took the paper, opened it, and wrote "Not for a moment." Please go to Xinghualou to talk about it, there are important things to discuss", the payment is a Yan word.
Among the people that Jiang Quinoa knows. There is only one person named Yan, Zhou Yan, the son of King Ming, could it be a note written by him?
"What did the man say?" Jiang asked Quino.
Someone stuffed a note in the bazaar, and spoke in a low voice, and Jiang Shun was stunned for a moment. But things are still remembered. While thinking about it, he said: "The man rushed over and asked me how much a willow basket cost, I handed a willow basket to him to see, and he took the opportunity to stuff the note to me, and said that I would hand it over to Miss Jiang, saying that you know." ”
Jiang Quinoa is not familiar with Zhou Yan, but the prince of Ming has the name of the little overlord of the capital, so he hides his head and shows his tail. It's not like his style. Could it be that the Tongzhou house deed and land deed are related to whom?
"I didn't hear anything out there." Jiang Shun scratched his head, these days he is bent on making money. Walking the streets every day, although it is a good time to gather information, he is not good at this, and he doesn't know who people are talking about, so he doesn't know the rumors outside.
"I estimate that Jiang Kai must know about this." Jiang Chun affirmed.
Cai Lu also nodded again and again: "Jiang Kai loves these street gossip the most, as long as you want to know, he can ask you about it." ”
Since the last time someone from Shuntianfu said that she had cleared the suspicion of the Tongzhou murder case, she hadn't heard the follow-up news at all, and she had to inquire carefully.
After dinner, it was still early, Jiang Quinoa and Jiang Chun went out to take a walk near the lotus pond to eat, and after a while, Jiang Shun took Jiang Kai over.
"This matter has really caused an uproar in the court recently." When Jiang Kai heard Jiang Quinoa ask about the Tongzhou murder case, he immediately became enthusiastic: "The prince said that the title deed is unclear, did I buy the house or the land I bought?" How to calculate the money to buy a house, and how to calculate the money to buy land? How the harvest in the field is graded, how much tax is collected every year, etc., in the court, the prince of the world faced many officials of the household department, one question after another, the household department could not answer, and the officials below only knew how to ask for guilt, and could not say one, two, three. The prince said that there is such a situation in Tongzhou so close to the capital, and the far away Guangzhou, Fujian, southwest and other places are not more seriously blinded? Recently, the court has been arguing about this matter every day, some advocating a new measurement of the land, and some opposing it saying that this matter costs the people and money, and the two parties do not give in to each other, and there has been a stalemate. Two days ago, the prince invited someone to listen to a small song in Yuyin Pavilion, and he was assassinated, and it is said that he was slightly injured, and he is still recuperating in the house. ”
"Is the prince injured?" Jiang Chun asked with concern, she was still very grateful to this approachable child of the royal family who saved Jiang Quinoa from danger, and her heart tightened when she heard that he was assassinated.
Jiang Kai looked left and right, and said in a low voice: "I heard Mazi say that the prince was actually not injured at all, and the assassin was stopped by the guards before he even got close to him, and he was just a little frightened." How noble their lives are, even if they are bitten by mosquitoes, they have to kill all mosquitoes, not to mention that this time they were assassinated at the feet of the Son of Heaven. The Holy Lord ordered that this matter should be strictly investigated to the end, and let the prince recuperate well in the mansion, in fact, it means that before all the assassins are arrested, let the prince not come out in the mansion. ”
I haven't recovered from the robbery and killing for several days, let alone the prince who is so expensive. Jiang Qu also understood the consideration of the Holy Lord, especially when he was assassinated at a sensitive moment when the prince was advocating for a new measure of the land, which was always somewhat disturbing.
"No wonder the prince wants to see you and sneak around, it turns out that he is afraid of attracting assassins." Jiang Chun said suddenly.
Jiang Kai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "The eldest lady is going to see the prince, where to meet, do you need a little one to lead the way?" "Since I had a meal with the prince last time, and listened to Miss Qingfang playing the piano in Yuyin Pavilion, Jiang Kai has been in the limelight in the mansion for a while, and recently the limelight has passed, and he is just thinking about how to continue such a brilliance, so he heard that Jiang Quinoa will go to see the prince of the world, so how can he not be excited.
Jiang Quinoa pondered for a moment and whispered a few words. Jiang Kai frowned, with a puzzled expression, not knowing Jiang Quinoa's intentions.
"You just do what I say, and you will be in the limelight in the later stage." Jiang Quinoa said.
was exposed to his thoughts, Jiang Kai scratched his head and responded with a smile.
"Doing things for the eldest lady, let alone being in the limelight, even if I am upside down, the small ones are also willing."
Jiang Chun pursed his lips and scolded: "Dog legs." ”
Jiang Kai didn't mind, but silently recited Jiang Quinoa's instructions twice in his heart, making sure that he wouldn't be mistaken, so he took the things and left.
……
In the Ming Palace, in the courtyard where the prince lived, Zhou Yan was holding a plate of lychees and eating happily, in front of the desk next to him, Tongmu scratched his head and scratched his cheeks, eager to stare at the paper in front of him out of a hole, and after thinking about it for a long time, he still didn't remember how to write this word, and was about to secretly ask the pine wood next to him, when he heard Zhou Yan speak: "You have to think about it, if the pine wood tells you, you have to copy the book twenty times." ”
Although copying a book twenty times is a torture, but if you can't write the words, the letter can't be sent, and if you delay it for one day, the young master of the Xu family who is far away will receive the letter one day later, and the day he will reply to the letter will be one day later, and if you delay it for another day on the way back, the next letter will arrive three or four days later. The prince remembers the day of receiving the letter every day, if he can't receive the letter by then, he will complain about himself, and he doesn't know how to make it difficult for himself when the time comes, so it's better to receive the punishment now, at least he still has the bottom in his heart.
Zhou Yan saw that he still chose to copy the book and be punished, and praised: "A real warrior, a wise choice." I just remembered that I had been so wise and powerful in the court recently, and I was so powerful and powerful, how could I not share such heroic deeds with my good brothers, and I thought that this paragraph should also be written on the letter, you take a piece of paper again, and I will read and write it. ”
Tongmu almost vomited a mouthful of blood, he had already written four pieces of paper, and he hadn't finished what he was going to say, and it wasn't a girl's house, how could he be such a mother-in-law, so many words.
With tears in his eyes, he took out a piece of paper again, and finally wrote two more pieces of letterhead, Tong Mu thought that this time the letter was finally finished, and was about to dry the paper, so he listened to Zhou Yan again.
"I can't do such a big thing for no reason, if Brother Xuan wants to know the reason, and he has to write a letter to ask, the road will be delayed for many days, I still tell him directly, I have to ask him if he still remembers the Miss Jiang he met in the countryside of Huguang last year?"
Matsuki looked sympathetically at the paulownia who wanted to cry without tears, and was glad that it was not himself who was tortured today, so he heard someone outside to spread the word, saying that there was a Jiangfu servant at the door who asked to see the prince. (To be continued......)
