Chapter 166: Rules

Ye Qinglan was out of luck and glanced at Mrs. Zheng.

Mrs. Zheng smiled helplessly: "It's okay, Mama Rong was ordered to come to teach you the rules, and she can be regarded as your master." It's also a matter of course that the two of you will accompany you to lunch. ”

Gu Xiyu pursed her lips and smiled proudly, and winked at Ye Qinglan, her rare childishness was very cute.

Mama Rong didn't expect that Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan would accompany her to lunch in person, so she couldn't help but be a little flattered, and said again and again: "The slave maid can eat here alone, and the two young ladies should go to the dining room next door." ”

Gu Xiyu was silent as usual, and Ye Qinglan said with a smile: "Mama doesn't need to be polite. From now on, we will have to bother my grandmother to teach us the rules. The two of us are students, and having a meal with our master is really nothing. ”

This was said appropriately and naturally, and Mama Rong listened very happily and comfortably, and sat down after a few words of self-humility. Although he was not moved by this sentence, his impression of Ye Qinglan was much better.

Eating without saying a word, Mama Rong's table manners have already been tempered, even the posture of holding chopsticks is very elegant, each dish has eaten a few bites, and then eats a small half bowl of rice and puts the chopsticks aside.

Ye Qinglan had always felt that the appearance of eating was enough to be delicate enough, but now she finally understands what it means to have someone outside the world.

However, Gu Xiyu has long been accustomed to the behavior of noble ladies, and is not surprised by Mama Rong's behavior.

Mama Rong has a heavy responsibility and does not dare to slack off. After settling down, they started teaching Gu Xiyu and Ye Qinglan in the afternoon.

The first thing to learn is to stand.

At this time, most of the women were slender, and most of them preferred to wear wide-sleeved short and floor-length skirts, and their posture was slender and graceful. Gu Xiyu has received strict boudoir etiquette training since she was a child, standing like a loose and straight waist. Impeccable.

Mama Rong glanced at Gu Xiyu a few times, but shook her head: "Miss Gu has no problem standing like this on weekdays, but when she entered the palace, she saw the emperor and the queen, as well as a concubine and nobleman, so this posture is a little inappropriate." Keep your head down slightly and don't look straight ahead...... You can't go too low, and raise your eyes a little more...... And the hands, be sure to hang down softly at your side. It's okay to hold a handkerchief in your hand, though. Pinching the handkerchief is also exquisite," he said endlessly.

Gu Xiyu is like a puppet doll, let Mama Rong fiddle.

Ye Qinglan watched from the sidelines, and she felt tired and panicked for Gu Xiyu.

I finally got my feet right. Mama Rong was just about to breathe a sigh of relief, but suddenly found that Gu Xiyu's eyes were too dull, and she smiled again: "Cousin Gu doesn't need to be nervous. Even if you meet the emperor and the queen, you don't have to be afraid. Don't look so ......" After thinking for a moment, I couldn't find the right words. He simply vaguely said, "The eyes can be a little more flexible." ”

What does it mean to be slightly more flexible?

Gu Xiyu's dark eyes were full of confusion, and she subconsciously glanced at Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qinglan thought for a while, and explained with a smile: "Cousin Xiyu, what Mama Rong means is that you'd better focus on looking at each other. You can't look directly into the other person's eyes, but you can look at the position of the other person's chin. "The eyes are in focus. It won't look too dazed and sluggish.

Gu Xiyu finally understood, and sure enough, she looked at Mama Rong's chin intently, her eyes were much more focused than just now.

Mama Rong was in good spirits. Hurriedly smiled and praised: "Miss Gu is really very perceptive. That's good! ”

After Gu Xiyu was praised, she didn't show much joy, and glanced at Ye Qinglan again. Ye Qinglan nodded with a smile: "Cousin Xiyu is so smart, she learned it so quickly." ”

Gu Xiyu suddenly pursed her lips and smiled.

……

Mama Rong, who was ignored by Huali, felt a little aggrieved in her heart, coughed and laughed: "Okay." Now it's time for the Miss. I should have heard what I said just now, so please stand as I just said. ”

Isn't that easy?

Ye Qinglan restrained her smile. Stand with her eyebrows lowered and her eyes down, her hands hanging down at her sides, her eyes slightly lowered, and she looked at Mama Rong's chin. In that way, it is both well-behaved and tame, and it is impossible to find the slightest mistake.

Actually, it's not that hard to do at all. As long as you take out the respect that you usually deal with the Jiang family, there is basically no problem.

Mama Rong didn't say anything to praise, only smiled and said "It's okay", then moved her eyes to Gu Xiyu's body again, and patiently and meticulously explained the rules of the palace.

Ye Qinglan had been prepared for such treatment, so she naturally didn't take it to heart. also listened carefully with Gu Xiyu.

Gu Xiyu is the protagonist, she is just an observer. Mama Rong naturally had no time to pay attention to her. To put it mildly, even if she is ugly and loses people in the palace, it has nothing to do with Mama Rong, and people are naturally too lazy to take care of her. Therefore, even if Mama Rong rarely looks at her from beginning to end, she is not unhappy.

Gu Xiyu was not stupid, and soon noticed Mama Rong's differential treatment. I was suddenly unhappy, and I naturally frowned.

Seeing that there was something wrong with her expression, Mama Rong hurriedly stopped and asked earnestly: "What's the matter, is it that the slave maid is not detailed enough, and Miss Gu doesn't understand anything?" ”

Gu Xiyu frowned: "Why are you only talking to me?" "Mama Rong has been talking for so long, and she has always been facing her, rarely looking at Ye Qinglan. Whether intentional or unintentional, this kind of neglect is very impolite. She hates to see someone do this to Ye Qinglan the most.

Rong Mama didn't expect Gu Xiyu to suddenly jump out with such a sentence, Rao is she is good at coping, and she doesn't know what to say for a while, the atmosphere is very embarrassing.

Ye Qinglan hurriedly smiled and played a round game: "Mama Rong speaks clearly, I can hear it very clearly!" "As for whether you look at yourself or not, what does it matter. She never cared about being despised or ignored by others.

Gu Xiyu pursed the corners of her lips, and wanted to say something more, so she heard Ye Qinglan smile and say again: "Okay, cousin Xiyu, don't be embarrassed anymore." Time is running out, let's listen carefully to Mama Rong and continue to speak! ”

Gu Xiyu had always listened to Ye Qinglan's words, and when she heard this, she didn't say anything, and looked at Mama Rong fixedly with a pair of black and white eyes.

Mama Rong took a deep breath, suppressed the slight unhappiness in her heart, and continued to say with a smile on her face.

However, after such a show just now, Mama Rong paid more attention to Ye Qinglan.

During this period, Mrs. Zheng and the Sun family each sent people over to deliver snacks and melons and fruits. Obviously, they are actually worried that Gu Xiyu will not be able to bear it if she learns the rules. With such a move, he hinted that Mama Rong should rest when it is time to rest, and don't keep talking, so as not to tire out the most delicate lady in the Dingguo Mansion.

Mama Rong was so clever and transparent, and she quickly understood what Sun and Mrs. Zheng meant. Every time a maid brought something in, she would stop for a moment and let Gu Xiyu rest a little and relax before continuing.

Ye Qinglan has an excellent memory and strong comprehension, and it took almost no effort to learn everything that Mama Rong taught.

Gu Xiyu was the opposite, at first she could still listen to it, but later, she began to feel that her brain and ears were not enough. The more I listened, the more confused I became, and my eyes were quite wide, but when I looked closely, I knew that those big eyes were full of confusion, and I didn't remember anything in the clouds and fog.

Seeing Gu Xiyu's appearance, Mama Rong was secretly anxious in her heart, and asked tentatively: "Miss Gu, the slave maid said so much, do you remember everything?" ”

Gu Xiyu has always been an honest and good boy, so she replied very honestly: "I don't remember." ”

……

Mama Rong resisted the urge to vomit blood, and continued to ask without giving up: "You should always remember a few words!" She talked for more than an hour, and she couldn't remember a word!

Gu Xiyu thought for a while, and said uncertainly: "I seem to remember a few sentences, but I can't remember it when you ask me like this." ”

……

Mama Rong was dumbfounded.

If there is a voiceover at this time, everyone will definitely be able to hear Mama Rong's heart: Queen Mother, Queen Mother, the slave is incompetent, I'm afraid I won't be able to complete the task you assigned!

Gu Xiyu still didn't know where she said something wrong, she only felt that Mama Rong was a little weird with her brows twisted, and turned her head and whispered to Ye Qinglan: "Cousin Lan, did I say something wrong just now?" "She's telling the truth!

Ye Qinglan couldn't help laughing, and said solemnly: "Cousin Xiyu, what you said is the truth, it's good." Mama Rong must be moved! "The standard lie doesn't even blink an eye, and the coaxing words come casually.

Gu Xiyu's natural single cell immediately believed Ye Qinglan's words and breathed a sigh of relief.

The distance is so close, Mama Rong can't even think of hearing the "whispering" of the two of them, her face is wonderful!

But Gu Xiyu still came to ask her: "Does Mama want to continue?" ”

Keep up the fart! Mama Rong silently said an indecent swear word in her heart. After working for a long time and wasting so much saliva, the main owner made it clear that he didn't listen to a word. It would be strange if she had the spirit to continue!

Before Mama Rong could euphemistically express her dissatisfaction in her heart, she heard Ye Qinglan say with a smile: "Mama Rong has been talking for a long time, she must be very tired." Let's let Mama Rong take a good rest, anyway, there is still half a month, and it is not too late to talk slowly tomorrow. ”

Gu Xiyu nodded obediently.

Ye Qinglan coaxed Gu Xiyu to sit down and eat snacks in a childlike tone.

Mama Rong watched the interaction between the two coldly on the sidelines, and her heart was full of surprise. After an afternoon of contact, she also had a preliminary understanding of Gu Xiyu's temperament. Don't look at Gu Xiyu's silent and obedient appearance, in fact, it is not like that at all. I don't know what method this Ye Qinglan used to coax Gu Xiyu into obedience......

"Mama, can you take a step to speak?" Ye Qinglan said softly.

Mama Rong's heart moved and nodded.
