Chapter 40: Calculation
In the early morning of the second day, a group of maids got up early and were on full alert, always ready for people to come to the palace.
Chonghua didn't feel the slightest pressure and slept until the time to get up.
Whether it's a blessing or a curse can't be avoided, since you can't avoid it, it's better to accept it safely. Moreover, the third prince already knew about this, and it is estimated that it will not develop according to those people's expectations.
Jinghua came in with washing water, and saw Chonghua sitting on the edge of the bed with the quilt in his arms, his eyes were foggy, and he hurriedly walked over to put on Chonghua's clothes.
"Miss, don't worry too much."
Chonghua nodded indifferently, lowered his head and began to wash his face. Suddenly, she jerked her head up.
"Jinghua, you only care about clothes and jewelry. No one taught me how to behave. ”
Jinghua was startled by Chonghua's shout, and suddenly looked at Chonghua in confusion. Salute? Isn't it something that a deep lady should learn from an early age?
Chonghua suddenly felt a layer of cold sweat on his back. That's right, the deep boudoir girl did learn it since she was a child. But she's a halfway monk! Who would have that cumbersome etiquette in modern times!
"In my family, no one teaches me." Chonghua looked at Jinghua in surprise and said stubbornly.
This is easy to understand, the second lady has not been favored since she was a child, and she is naturally not as dedicated as the eldest lady. Lack of food and clothing is already commonplace, and who wants to teach her orthodox etiquette.
Jinghua obviously thought of this, and her face was suddenly full of guilt. It was really inconsiderate to let the young lady say it herself, no one taught her etiquette.
Fortunately, Chonghua still has some time to study, and it happens that she is a fast learner. Jinghua seized the time to teach Chonghua how to perform big and ordinary rituals.
In the core is the adult's Chonghua, who learned a rough idea in a hurry. As long as there are no special circumstances, you should be able to cope with the past.
In her heart, she subconsciously prayed that it was just a false alarm, and that the third prince was just joking with her. But the more you are afraid, the more you come. When I passed, I saw someone from the palace.
It was the little eunuch who came that day to deliver the message.
Respectfully guard the corner gate and wait for Chonghua to go out.
When she was about to go out, Chonghua suddenly changed her mind and changed into the clothes that Jinghua and others had prepared for her before. This change made Jinghua and the others almost scared to death. But Chonghua just didn't listen to dissuasion, and he had to go out in that plain dress. The hair is not combed by Shui Yue, but half of the black hair is simply tied with a hosta, and the remaining half is draped over his shoulders like a man.
"So be it." Chonghua took the silk handkerchief and helped Jinghua out of the door.
Jinghua is the biggest maid in Lixiangyuan, and she is also smarter, so she always has some care.
Out of the corner door, he saw a goose yellow sedan chair, and Chonghua's eyebrows jumped. Goose yellow is not a color that can be used casually. Is this the meaning of the nobles in the palace, or does it have a deep meaning?
Seeing that Chonghua was a little hesitant, the little eunuch said lightly: "Girl, please get on the sedan chair, our family has to go back to pay the errand." ”
Chonghua's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he glanced at him: "Then it's time to bother my father-in-law to make one more trip." It seems that there is nothing urgent in the palace with my father-in-law's attitude, so it doesn't matter if I don't go. ”
The little eunuch had never seen such a thing, and he was immediately stunned. Which noble lady knows that the summons in the palace is not looking forward to the sedan chair in the palace? Which noble girl isn't in a hurry to give him benefits?
But Chonghua raised his head slightly, and an inexplicable coercion came to his face.
The little eunuch gritted his teeth: "In this way, if the palace blames it, our family won't be able to help." ”
Chonghua waved his hand, ignored him, and turned back to the corner door.
Jinghua was about to cry urgently: "Miss, this is not the time to be hard." ”
Chonghua whispered to Jinghua: "His errand is to pick up people, and if he can't pick up people at this time, he will naturally not have good fruit to eat." Besides, you also saw the sedan chair at the door. I always felt that the color was inappropriate, and if someone deliberately asked me to sit, I didn't know who I was offending against. ”
Saying this, Jinghua suddenly woke up.
The goose-yellow sedan chair can only be sat on when the concubine enters the palace. Chonghua is now in the Three Princes' Mansion without a name, if he really takes this sedan chair into the palace, then it will be a big trouble.
If you look at it this way, Chonghua has offended the little eunuch, and it is not painful to sit in this sedan chair.
Jinghua turned sideways and hid behind the door, staring at the little eunuch. Sure enough, I saw him wandering at the door at a loss. If it was really rude, he could go to the palace to complain. But now he can't walk and shout, which can only show that there is really something wrong with the sedan chair.
After about a quarter of an hour, the little eunuch went back with the sedan chair.
Jinghua exclaimed, and hurriedly went to find Chonghua, who was sitting on a stone chair and waiting.
"Miss, the father-in-law left with the sedan chair."
Chonghua pondered for a moment: "If I really enter the palace today, someone will definitely come to pick me up." If there were other traps, no one would come to pick them up. ”
Jinghua saw that Chonghua's words were chiseled, so she believed a little more. Help Chonghua to go to Lixiangyuan. If someone comes to pick it up, someone will naturally report it.
Seeing Chonghua and Jinghua returning to Lixiangyuan, the maids in Lixiangyuan were all surprised.
"But what did you fall behind?" Shui Yue asked.
Jinghua wrinkled her eyebrows and shook her head, and Shui Yue immediately didn't dare to ask again. I had to bring hot tea to Chonghua and hand over the hand stove.
Chonghua did not rush to change clothes, but sat down by the window, took the hand stove, and looked out the window from afar.
Jinghua took the cloak to the outside, and Shui Yue chased it out: "What is it?" ”
"Here comes a little father-in-law, a goose-yellow sedan chair. The young lady said that she would not sit down at all, and the little father-in-law left. Jinghua said with a calm face.
Shui Yue was confused for two breaths, and her mind suddenly became clear: "How can it be a goose-yellow sedan chair?!" ”
Jinghua's eyes sank: "I'm afraid that someone wants to calculate Miss." ”
Shui Yue's face also sank: "It's always good to be careful." ”
No one dared to guarantee that no one would blame him for entering the palace in the sedan chair. Rather than this, it is better to blame Chonghua for being rude, and there is a reasonable reason to prevaricate.
Chonghua leaned against the window, his mind empty. Do your best not to think about the intrigues that might arise. She's used to being idle, her work is done from home, and she doesn't need to be as proficient in scheming as those OLs. In addition to the editor-in-charge, there are not many people in contact. Over time, I am very unaccustomed to these twists and turns.
What if someone really calculated her? What can be done to avoid those elaborate calculations? How to do it so that you don't fall into the trap of those people.
Chonghua looked at the snow on the cypress trees in the pear incense courtyard, and silently recalled in his mind the only little experience of Gongdou novels in his previous life.
I just don't know if it's universal.
