Chapter 13 Curriculum
Although she said that she didn't want to get up, Xu Cancan gritted her teeth and sat up, no matter what she thought in her heart, but in reality, she could only adapt to this world.
As it was not yet dawn, the house was lit with candlesticks, which covered the whole bedroom with a dusky veil.
Biyun quickly took the clothes that Xu Cancan wanted to change, asked Xiaoxiang to serve Xu Cancan to dress, and went outside to ask for hot water to wash.
Xu Cancan quickly put on white silk underwear.
She walked to the window, opened it, and found that it was still gray outside, and the pine trees in the yard were soaked in the gray morning mist, and they did not look clear.
She inexplicably remembered that "flowers are not flowers and fog, and they come and go in the middle of the night", and there was an inexplicable melancholy in her heart.
After washing, the sky was already dark, and everything in the yard gradually became clear. Xu Cancan asked Xiaoxiang to stay in the bright room, and notified himself when he saw the eldest lady and others entering the courtyard.
Xiaoxiang obediently stayed in the bright room, and Biyun and Xu Cancan stayed in the bedroom. Xu Cancan had the heart to try Biyun's dressing skills, sat in front of the dresser, and listened to Biyun's arrangement.
Biyun cleaned his hands, opened Xu Cancan's mirror case, looked at the fat powder inside, and found that there was only incense, rouge and charcoal inside. She looked at Xu Cancan's snow-white and crystalline face, and understood the reason why there was no official powder in the mirror box - Xu Cancan didn't need it at all!
In order to match the makeup, she opened the drawers of Xu Cancan's jewelry box one by one, and found that there were three sets of light and all the heads and faces, not to mention those fragmentary rings.
Xu Cancan looked at her expression and said with a smile: "I have liked gold, jade and gemstones since I was a child, these are all prepared for me by my father and mother over the years. ”
Biyun also smiled: "The girl's jewelry is in good condition!" ”
Hearing this, Xu Cancan casually picked up a jade bracelet and handed it to Biyun: "Take it and play!" ”
She is familiar with her grandmother's stingy temper, and the things she used to bathe last night must be Biyun's own, so in order to thank Biyun and to envelop Biyun, this is what she did.
Biyun was a little frightened, and just about to excuse himself, Xu Cancan said: "Wanzhou Dushan produces jade, I have a lot of things here!" ”
She opened the bottom drawer again and took out a pink jade bracelet: "Tell Xiaoxiang to come over!" ”
Xiao Xiang got the hibiscus pink quartz jade bracelet, and she was so happy that she ran out of the house after making a salute - she still had to watch the movement outside!
Although Biyun doesn't understand jade, he also knows that the bracelet he got is blue-green and has a delicate texture, similar to jadeite, and it should be the most precious azure jade in the single jade. She didn't say much, just said softly: "The slave will do her best, the girl can rest assured." ”
Xu Cancan has always been generous, and he was very happy after giving the gift, sitting in front of the dresser and letting Biyun use his means.
As soon as Xu Hanshi, Xu Yipeng, Xu Yilian and Xu Yitong entered the courtyard, Xu Cancan greeted Biyun with Biyun - Xiaoxiang stayed in the room.
At this time, it was early summer, and it was dawning very early, and Xu Han looked at Xu Cancan, who had just stood up after saluting.
Xu Cancan combed a complex bun with the clouds today, such as a cloud black hairpin with only a gold silk inlaid ruby butterfly hairpin, and a complete set of gold silk inlaid gemstone butterfly-shaped earrings on his ears, and a red gold and ruby bracelet on his snow-white wrist. On the body, there is a red Luo shirt embroidered with gold butterfly flowers and a pleated skirt with white and gold hemming. Compared with yesterday's simplicity, today's Xu Cancan is beautiful and luxurious, which reminds Xu Hanshi of the poem "Red Apricot Leaning on the Cloud on the Sun Side".
Xu Hanshi thought in his heart: the second husband and wife are very fond of their daughter, and they prepared such valuable jewelry at a young age.
With a smile on her face, she took Xu Cancan's hand and walked forward: "Cancan is in the eldest mother, there is no need to be formal in front of her." ”
Xu Yipeng stood behind his mother, and when he saw Xu Cancan, his eyes lit up. Xu Cancan was dressed very plainly and elegantly on the road, but he didn't expect to look so good when he was dressed luxuriously!
The group walked towards the main hall.
Xu Yitong, who was walking behind, looked at Xu Cancan's back with jealousy: It's just a country girl, what kind of lady is she pretending to be!
After having breakfast at Mrs. Xu's place, Xu Yipeng went to the front yard to study, and Xu Hanshi found an excuse to take Xu Cancan back to his Qingxin Courtyard, leaving Xu Yilian and Xu Yitong Chenghuan on their knees.
Xu Cancan didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in the gourd of Aunt Lu Dao, so he could only respond to all changes with the same, and took Biyun to follow Xu Han's into Qingxin Courtyard.
Qingxin Courtyard is different from Chunhui Courtyard, only a few pomegranate trees are planted in the courtyard, and the other is the two pink moon trees in full bloom in front of the hall house, which looks less solemn and more bright, which seems to be different from the calm and indifferent shown by Xu Han.
Xu Hanshi sat down on the couch in the hall, and Mei Xue, the eldest maid beside her, invited Xu Cancan to sit down on the chair on the west side, and served the Pu'er tea that had already been brewed.
In addition to Xu Han's and Xu Cancan's in the hall, it was Mei Xue and Biyun who were standing on the side, Xu Han's and Xu Cancan were drinking tea, and the room was suddenly quiet.
Xu Cancan recognized that he was holding a small colorful bell in his hand, which was much more valuable than the official kiln in the old lady's room, and he already knew who the head of the Xu Mansion was.
Seeing Xu Cancan put down the colorful small cover bell of the kiln, Xu Hanshi said: "Cancan, let Mei Xue take you to the East Wing!" ”
smiled again: "Cancan, you must listen to Mama Wu's words when you go." ”
She spoke very skillfully, putting the accent on "certain" and "listening", and Xu Cancan also heard it.
After entering the east wing with Xu Cancan, Mei Xue closed the door and latched the latch, then turned around and saluted the white fat old woman sitting on the couch: "Mama Wu, the second girl has arrived." ”
Mama Wu was wearing a black skirt with a purple red skirt and a few silver jewelry, looking very simple, she got up and went down to give Xu Cancan a salute, and then said, "Second girl, please come into the bedroom!" ”
Xu Cancan and Mei Xue followed Mama Wu into the bedroom.
A quarter of an hour later, Xu Cancan came out of the bedroom and left the east wing with Mei Xue.
If she was still vaguely thinking that her uncle wanted her to run for the palace, now she is 100% sure.
Mama Wu asked her to strip naked, checked the roots of her ears, touched her body, examined her breasts, and carefully examined her intimate parts, and then nodded with satisfaction and asked her to put on her dress - isn't this the same as the naked inspection during the draft!
Mei Xue did not take Xu Cancan back to the hall, but led her to the West Wing.
As soon as he arrived at the West Wing, a beautiful young woman with tall and big eyes and plump lips greeted her, squatted down to give Xu Cancan a salute, and smiled all over her face: "The second girl is really shining here!" ”
Xu Cancan recognized her as Mei Yu, the maid of Xu Han's room for Xu Tinghe, smiled, and sat on the couch in the bright room.
Mei Yu hurriedly ran into the box of dried fruits, made another pot of tea, and greeted Xu Cancan warmly.
Xu Cancan picked up the teacup and made a gesture to drink, her heart was a little chaotic at first, but she slowly calmed down - her father and mother were suppressed by the big hat of filial piety, and now instead of doing some unrealistic resistance, it is better to take advantage of the trend and take one step at a time.
It didn't take long for another big girl, Mei Yun, to come over and call, and Mei Xue led Xu Cancan back to the hall.
Xu Hanshi looked at Xu Cancan affectionately: "Cancan, your uncle has invited you to teach palace etiquette, literature and female etiquette, and you will start in the east wing in a while!" ”
It wasn't until late afternoon that Xu Cancan finished today's lesson.
She was fiddled with the palace etiquette teaching, literature teaching, and female etiquette teaching for nearly a day.
The palace etiquette is a grandmother from the palace, surnamed Zhang, who entered the palace at a young age, released when she was old, never married, and made a living by teaching palace etiquette to the ladies in the capital, and had some reputation.
The literary teacher surnamed Hu is a widow who has a widow and was also a talented woman when she was young, but what she taught Xu Cancan was some fragrant poems - as a palace concubine of Israel, she does not seek political literacy, as long as she can make the emperor happy.
And after taking the course of Ouyang everyone, who taught Nuyi, Xu Cancan, who was a person in two lives, was so red that he was about to drip blood-he hadn't taken a specific class yet, but Ouyang had already announced the arrangement of the course.
Thinking of what kind of makeup 12-style bed, 38-style pinching and seventeen skills, Xu Cancan has to cover his face.
After sitting with Xu Hanshi for a while, Xu Cancan asked Xu Hanshi for a few brand-new bedding soft pillows - she had already discovered that her beauty was not only effective for men, but also for women! Besides, since she contributed to Xu Tinghe and his wife, then they have the obligation to make her live a more comfortable life!
Ten days later, because Xu Cancan's studies were praised by the three teachers, Xu Hanshi gave her a reward - let her and Xu Yilian and Xu Yitong follow her to the Dingguo Mansion to attend the birthday banquet of Fu Meiying, the sixth lady of the Guogong Mansion.
Xu Cancan successfully found out from Xu Yilian that there are seven young ladies in the Dingguo Mansion, all of whom are from the court! When she learned that Fu Yutan had seven sisters, Xu Cancan was about to laugh so much that she hurt Fu Yushen's future daughter-in-law one by one, how much evil she had done in her previous life, there will be seven sisters-in-law in this life, and they are all grandchildren!
