Chapter 143: Good and Evil Are Rewarded
Liu Ke straightened up and said to Liu Wan: "I'll tell you later, let's go to Xiaoguangsha quickly, otherwise Mama Song will come." ”
After she finished speaking, she stretched out her hand to Liu Qingyi, who was kneeling on the ground with a surprised face, and said, "Get up, let's go to Xiaoguangsha." ”
Liu Qing came back to his senses with the surprise on his face, stood up with Liu Ke's hand, and followed Liu Ke towards the small mansion.
They just said to the small mansion, and Mama Song took a small bamboo sedan chair to the door of the small mansion.
This is what Shi has long instructed, Mama Song can come in directly in a sedan chair, and also arranged for the little girl Astragalus to be responsible for serving tea and other things.
At this time, the small mansion had been cleaned up, and additional tables and chairs had been specially prepared for Mama Song.
Liu Ke and Liu Wan put the female ring they had written on the table, and went out to meet it.
Mama Song got off the small bamboo sedan chair and saw that Liu Ke and Liu Wan had arrived on time, nodded and said, "Did I let you copy all the female rings that you copied?" ”
Liu Ke and Liu Wan both said: "It's finished!" ”
Mama Song took the little girl's astragalus hand into the small mansion, saw the neatly placed hand-copied manuscripts on the table, nodded with satisfaction, didn't even look at it, picked up the ring ruler on the table and turned around and said: "Today is the first time I teach you women's etiquette, let's start with 'Lirong'." ”
After she said this, she circled around Liu Wan and Liu Ke, who were standing in front of her, and said, "Jia Zi said: Gu Yi is square, with flat shoulders and back, and his arms are like holding a drum. Two inches of leisure, the end of the face of the tassel. The end of the strand is full, the body does not shake the elbow, and it is said to stand upright; Because of the co-existence of the micro chime; Because it is said to stand solemnly with a chime; Because of admiration, he said that he was humble. ”
After Liu Wan heard her finish reading this paragraph, he glanced at Liu Ke blankly.
"Don't look around!" Mama Song accentuated her tone.
was so frightened that Liu Wan quickly turned his head back to the right.
Mama Song patted Liu Wan's tense shoulder with the ring ruler in her hand and said, "Your shoulders are too straight." When standing, you should stand naturally relaxed, and don't let people look at it with a stiff and uncomfortable feeling. ”
After Liu Wan heard this, her straight back relaxed, she was already tired from standing, and she wanted to relax.
But Mama Song's ring ruler came down again. "Don't be blunt, but don't be casual." ”
Liu Wan, who was told by Mama Song, didn't know how to stand.
Mama Song sighed and set her eyes on Liu Ke again.
Seeing her standing tall, naturally generous, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart: "No wonder the Liu family attaches so much importance to this Miss Liu, she is really a talent that can be created." It's just a pity that the emperor is dying of old age, and even if he enters the palace, he won't have a good time for a few years. ”
Thinking of this, she lowered Liu Ke's head slightly, dragged her chin slightly upward with a ring ruler, and said, "Don't be too humble, you are the eldest lady of the Liu family." Even in the capital, there is no need for anyone to be humble. ”
Liu Ke was short and said, "Yes, thank you for your advice." After speaking, he immediately stood up according to Mama Song's request.
Mama Song, seeing that their standing posture was already relatively standard, walked to the table and sat down, and began to open the female ring they copied.
As he watched, he kept looking up at the two of them.
Liu Wan felt that her back hurt when she was already standing, but Mama Song still didn't let them rest.
In fact. Liu Ke was also tired, just holding on.
After Mama Song read the female rings they copied, she stood up expressionlessly. To the little girl next to him, Astragalus: "Go to the study and find two books about two inches thick." ”
Astragalus said yes in his mouth and walked out of the small mansion.
After a long while, Astragalus walked in with two thick books.
Liu Wan thought that Mama Song was going to let them read, and she was full of joy, and finally she didn't have to stand, her legs were already wooden.
I only heard Mama Song say: "Put the book on the heads of the two young ladies." From now on, the time to stand for two more pillars of incense will start again if the book falls. ”
After saying that. Turned around and lit a stick of incense in front of the portrait of Aunt Ban.
When Liu Wan heard this, he frowned. With a bitter face, he scolded in his heart: "Where is this to teach people etiquette, it will obviously torture people." ”
After Mama Song lit the incense, she turned around and happened to see Liu Wan's dissatisfied face.
She didn't speak, but walked slowly towards them, holding a ring ruler and circling them around them again and again.
Although Liu Wan was too tired to do anything, she was afraid of the ring ruler in Mama Song's hand, and she still insisted on it.
After all, Liu Ke has gone through a lifetime, and he is much more qualitative than Liu Xuan.
But she is also persisting with strong willpower.
The time of the two pillars of incense is not long, but it is not short, and it can pass by gritting your teeth.
But if you breathe, you may collapse.
When half a pillar of incense was burned, Liu Wan's body began to shake, and the book on Liu Wan's head fell when he heard a "pop-" sound.
Mama Song glanced at her and didn't speak, slowly walked to the statue of Aunt Ban, lit a stick of incense, and said, "Second Miss, start again." ”
Liu Wan spread out on the ground panting and refused to get up, thinking in his heart that sitting for a while would be a while.
"Second Miss, if you don't start, I'll add another incense to you."
"Don't, don't, can't I get up?" Liu Wan stood up crookedly with the book in his hand, reluctantly put the book on his head and continued to stand up.
After Liu Ke's incense was burned, she still didn't take the book off her head.
At this time, a thin layer of sweat had already appeared on her forehead, and Mama Song said with some puzzlement: "The eldest lady can already rest, why is she still standing up?" ”
Liu Ke didn't explain too much, only said: "I'm with my sister!" I will stand as long as she stands. ”
If she sat down on the side at this time, Liu Wan's willpower would definitely be affected, and it was already the end of the hour at this time, and she didn't want Liu Wan to fall short again, so she was willing to accompany her.
After Liu Wan listened to Liu Ke's words, his eyes turned red, and he stood dignified and dignified, no longer having any distracting thoughts.
Finally, at the end of the time, he persevered to the end.
Mama Song said, "It's time, I'll be here today." ”
Liu Ke and Liu Yun were both spread on the ground.
Mama Song said: "Don't forget to practice by yourself tomorrow, and then there will be when I come tomorrow." The two young ladies then copied the "Internal Training" and handed it to me. ”
After she finished speaking, she ignored Liu Ke and Liu Wan's reflections, picked up the female ring they copied and walked out of the small mansion, and returned to the palace in a small bamboo sedan chair.
After arriving in the palace, she reported her experience in the Liu family to her current master, Qiu Cairen, and handed over the two female rings copied by Liu Ke and Liu Xuan to Qiu Cairen.
Qiu Cai is a new promotion this year. At first, she was just a low-class palace maid who burned coal and kept vigil by Zuo Chang's side, but because she was smart and clever, she was promoted to a first-class palace maid by Zuo Chang's side, serving by Zuo Chang's side.
Last year, Zuo Chang was pregnant and couldn't serve the emperor, so he gave his maid Qiu'er to the emperor, but he didn't expect that this Qiu'er was not only handsome and thoughtful. I also read a lot of books, and I was deeply loved by the emperor, and in less than a year, I was directly named a six-grade talent, which was one grade higher than Zuo Changzai.
This is something Zuo Chang didn't expect, but there was no turning back when he opened the bow. Now it's too late for her to regret it.
Fortunately, the Qiucai people have not yet reached the point of exclusive favor, but the emperor must return to the residence of the Qiucai people for a few days a month to sit, even if he is sick now, he does not forget to summon her from time to time.
It can be said that this autumn talent is the hottest person around the emperor.
At this time, Qiu Cairen silently looked at the female rings copied by Liu Ke and Liu Wan, flipped through them and chuckled: "The second half of Liu Wan's part is obviously ghostwritten by Liu Ke for Liu Wan. ”
"The little lord is really powerful. It was seen at a glance, and the slave and maid looked at it all night and did not find it. Mama Song smiled and said, "This eldest lady of the Liu family is really a good one." It would be a pity if it was really sent to the palace. ”
Qiu Cairen sighed and said, "You should pay attention to the movements of the Shi family, and talk about it after the Queen Mother's birthday." ”
"Yes, little lord!" Mama Song bowed down and replied, "Let the slave serve you to bed." ”
Qiu Cairen stood up and said, "No need, let's go and walk around the Heart Cultivation Hall and come back to sleep." ”
"Little lord, why bother. It's already done this work, I'm afraid the emperor has already slept. Mama Song said a little puzzled.
These days. Qiu Cai people went around the vicinity of the Heart Cultivation Hall almost every day, but they didn't go in. When he met the emperor's internal guards and close attendants, he only said a few words and asked the emperor about the situation, but he was not allowed to report it.
Mama Song had no choice, so she had to take the maids Yuan'er and Qu'er out of the room behind Qiucairen.
When he arrived near the Heart Cultivation Palace, he saw that the candles were still lit inside, so he silently stood under the pine tree not far from the entrance of the Heart Cultivation Hall and watched quietly.
After a while, two people walked out of the Heart Cultivation Palace.
She leaned over to the pine tree and hid herself in the shadows.
It is obvious that the two people who came out were ministers of the court.
I only heard one of them: "Lord Zuo, you may guess who is impeaching us behind our backs?" ”
The person known as Lord Zuo replied fiercely: "I guess ten have* is Duan Mingxin." ”
"He is now in charge of Dali Temple, and we have no enmity before and after, why do you want to impeach us?"
Lord Zuo looked at the man sideways, and said coldly: "Lord Xing, I am in charge of Dali Temple first, and you are about to be released from the head of the Inspectorate, why did you only participate in the two of us at the same time, have you thought about this problem carefully?" ”
That Xing Daren's face changed suddenly after hearing this, and he stopped, and didn't say anything for a long time.
After a long while, he trembled, "Then what should we do?" ”
Lord Zuo glanced at Xing Daren with disdain, and said: "Although it was planned by a few of us back then, the emperor may not have known about it, but for so many years, he has not mentioned this matter, let alone held anyone to blame, so why should we be afraid now, it's just that we should be careful in the future, and don't let people catch any tricks." ”
Xing Daren raised his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a reluctant smile: "Lord Zuo is right!" It's unfounded, it's really unfounded. ”
As they spoke, they walked away.
Qiucairen, who was hiding behind the pine tree, slowly turned out from behind the tree, looked at them coldly, and said in his heart: "Good and evil are rewarded, it's not that they don't pay, the time has not yet come!" (To be continued)
