Chapter 33 Extensive Reading
Rao is that I have thousands of questions in my heart, and I can only swallow them alive, and I can't ask in front of so many Yulin Jun: "His Royal Highness King Yu, is it the virtuous concubine or the queen mother who killed my mother?" ”
I'm afraid that before An Chengyan answered, I would have been killed.
Daddy is right, to live in this imperial capital, you have to be like a lady.
When the third brother and An Chengyan greeted each other, I played with the eighth prince at the door, and my head was ...... Mostly I watched him play. This time, he changed another Luban lock, dismantled it, installed it, and showed me his hand speed and intelligence tirelessly.
A leader-like Yulin Army ran to the third brother and hugged his fist: "Third young master, things have been moved into the mansion." "I think of the dogs raised by the nomads in northern Xinjiang, who drove their sheep into the enclosure like this.
I said goodbye to the Eighth Prince, and he obediently ran to An Chengyan's side and looked at me reluctantly.
I suddenly noticed that the child didn't speak this time, probably because there were too many people to be frightened.
I glanced at the four words of Dingyuan Marquis Mansion written by the saint himself, sighed and followed the third brother into the courtyard.
Because it was the saint who spoke in person, the Ministry of Works put a lot of thought into the arrangement. Enter the door is the small scene of rockery and flowing water and green pines to welcome guests, through the hanging flower door to the flower hall in the front yard, there are many flowers and plants that I have not seen along the way, trimmed neatly and beautifully, at a glance it is from the hands of the palace craftsmen.
In the hall is a set of mahogany furniture, and the shelves are decorated with porcelain from the official kiln.
It looked like someone was waiting for us in the main hall.
The three of us stepped into the hall and saw a group of people kneeling down and said in unison, "I've seen the third young master!" I've seen Miss Four! ”
The sound is uniform and deafening.
I was startled: "What for?" ”
The third brother said calmly: "It was probably sent by His Majesty." ”
Mo Qingran said wistfully: "Why hasn't anyone seen me?" I feel offended. ”
I:......
I saw that the older grandmother got up first, blessed us and said, "In the future, the young master's life will be served by me, and the young master and young lady can order the slave if she needs it." ”
The grandmother drooped her eyelids and her face was solemn, and I only felt a little familiar and said, "Are you?" ”
"The slave maid Rongchan was on duty in Jinshou Palace."
Geumju Palace? Dowager? I remembered: "Are you Mama Xu?!" "My sister-in-law said that she was the queen mother! And she is also her right-hand man, what did the Queen Mother send her to do?
"Miss, just call the slave maid Rongchan."
"Aunt Rongchan." How dare I call it by its first name?!
At this time, there was another humane: "Slave maid Xiaolian, Concubine Xian Niangniang sent a slave maid to take care of the fourth young lady." ”
Hehe...... It's really funny, Concubine Xian killed Qianrou, and now she has sent someone to take care of me, do you want to take care of me in the underworld?
I sneered: "Concubine Xie Xian is worried." ”
"Slave maid Qiaocui, the noble concubine ordered the slave maid to serve the young master."
Who is the noble concubine?
Seeing that I couldn't wait, Xu Rongchan said: "Concubine Lu is the adoptive mother of the Fifth Prince. ”
Then there are different people from different palaces, I and the third brother rolled their eyes when they heard it, what kind of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods are here, I have to say that these concubines are really ruddering, and the focus of the saint is their focus, from their expressions and tones, you can see who is favored and who is not favored, especially that Xiaolian, who doesn't know and thinks she is here to be served.
After the maid introduced herself, there were several eunuchs, and it was worth noting that there was a eunuch named Debao, who was a saint.
And then we were laid out plainly.
The third brother and Mo Qingran were arranged in the east and west wings of the front yard, while I was arranged in the east wing of the backyard, and Xu Rongchan lived directly opposite me.
I observed these people for an afternoon, and found that these palace maids and eunuchs were not smiling, their behavior was rigid, they only cared about doing things, and when they were not doing things, they stood in one place, with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, like soulless puppets.
Especially that Xu Rongchan, the 10,000-year-old glacier face, if it weren't for the fact that her eyes would roll, I really doubt that she is a real person, and everyone else is respectful to her, indeed, she has served the Queen Mother for so many years, and her status in the palace is the same as that of the Queen Mother, she is an old monster.
Yu Linjun was outside the courtyard, and I couldn't go out at will, so I had to go through the words of a word to the third brother three times in my head.
Tired, really tired.
At night, I couldn't sleep for a long time, and all I could think about was: I want to escape, escape from the imperial capital.
When I found out the cause of my mother's death, I fled, this place is really annoying.
On the second day, when I was sleeping soundly, I heard Rong Chan's cold voice: "Miss, it's time to get up." ”
I widened my eyes and saw Xu Rongchan looking at me expressionlessly, there were four palace maids beside her, one holding a basin, one holding a folded dress, and two didn't take anything.
I glanced out the window and wailed: "Aunt Rongchan, it's too early, it's just dawn!" ”
Xu Rongchan said: "At this hour, the ladies have all asked the Queen Mother to say goodbye." ”
There was disdain in my eyes. She lifted the quilt whether I wanted it or not, and the two empty-handed maids set me up and dressed me without saying a word.
When I saw the dress, I shouted, "No, no, it's not my clothes." ”
Xu Rongchan was unmoved: "The fourth lady will become the princess of Yu, naturally she can't wear those shoddy clothes, the queen mother specially ordered the palace people to make a few new clothes for the fourth miss, and the slave maid brought it to the fourth miss." ”
She didn't mean anything else, she meant that my clothes were rubbish.
I silently at the mercy of it, I have to say, this dress is worthy of the hand of the embroidery lady in the palace, the stitching is fine, the embroidery is fine, the lotus embroidery on the skirt is like the real thing, the wind blows, the dragonfly lying on the lotus seems to fly down.
Hey, just wear it, you don't want my money anyway.
After washing, Xu Rongchan combed me with a flying fairy bun, I have never combed this kind of bun, I just think it's fun, I keep taking a look in the mirror, and excitedly said to Mama Xu: "Aunt Rongchan, you are so good, this bun is good, show me tall!" ”
Xu Rongchan didn't speak, and a smile seemed to flash in her eyes.
I pushed open the door to find the ink light dye, a good-looking bun should match a good-looking face, and it was the right thing to detoxify quickly.
Who knew that the eunuch named Debao had been standing at the door for a while, and he greeted me with a smile on his face: "Miss, the young master of the Jiang family has been waiting in the front hall for a long time. ”
I didn't know what to do: "Young Master of the Jiang family? ”
Xu Rongchan said: "The son of a cabinet scholar, Jiang Duo, was probably called by Lord Wang. ”
Jiang Duo? Isn't that the one I beaten? His father hasn't been killed by the saint yet? What is he here for? Who is Lord Wang?
Xu Rongchan saw that I was full of doubts and said: "Miss is going to the Royal Academy in a few days, Lord Wang is teaching, and I am about to ask the young master of the Jiang family to ask Miss what books she usually reads, so as to facilitate teaching in the future." ”
"The Royal Academy? Teaching? I was stunned, "Isn't it that a woman is not talented or virtuous?" "My father also invited us to learn from a private school, but I studied with my brothers as an accompaniment and didn't force me to learn anything.
"Miss is the daughter of the Marquis of Dingyuan, and she will marry into the royal family, which is naturally different from ordinary people's families." Mama Xu said again, "Miss is going to the school to take classes, and the slave will teach Miss basic etiquette at home." ”
I was stunned: "What? Do you want to learn etiquette? ”
Xu Rongchan said: "Naturally, Miss has lived with a group of men since she was a child, she is too much like a woman, and she has to learn manners and etiquette, which is also the meaning of the Queen Mother." ”
What does it look like to be a woman? I think of the way my sister-in-law talks and walks...... So, Xu Rongchan didn't come to serve me, she came to torture me?
As he spoke, he arrived in the front hall, Jiang Duo was sitting in a precarious position, and the third brother was chewing and eating breakfast slowly, as if he hadn't looked at him, and the ink light dye had already finished eating, and he was waiting for me with a silver needle next to him.
When Jiang Duo saw me coming, he was stunned, and then laughed as if he saw an acquaintance: "Fourth Miss, don't come unharmed, your face is much better than last time." ”
I also smiled and said, "Young Master of the Jiang family, don't come unharmed, your face is as annoying as last time." ”
Xu Rongchan coughed lightly beside her.
Jiang Duo hurriedly waved to Xu Rongchan: "Mama Xu, is the Queen Mother in good health?" ”
Xu Rongchan's expression did not change from beginning to end: "The slave maid came to serve the fourth lady at the behest of the Queen Mother, and I haven't seen the Queen Mother for two or three days." ”
Jiang Duo didn't seem to expect the Queen Mother to send her, and immediately treated me with a lot of respect: "Fourth Miss, I came to ask Miss some questions on the order of Lord Wang." ”
I didn't expect this Xu Rongchan to be so easy to use, I couldn't help but be proud, Shi Shiran sat down, and hid her face and smiled like a sister-in-law: "Son, please speak, the slave family must know everything." ”
"Cough, cough, cough ......" Mo lightly stained a sip of tea stuck in his mouth, and coughed violently.
The third brother still didn't speak, only looked at me coldly.
Debao prepared pen and ink for Jiang Duo, and he picked up the pen and said, "Has the fourth lady ever gone to private school?" ”
"Yes."
"Has the fourth lady ever read the "Three Character Classic" and "The Female Commandment"?"
"No, I didn't."
Jiang Duo smiled and wrote: I was illiterate.
I was in a hurry, this is a personal vendetta of the communiqué, I said: "I am literate, I have read a lot!" ”
Jiang Duo said: "What kind of book did the fourth young lady read?" ”
I thought about it for a while and said: "That's a lot, talking about grievances in the rivers and lakes, such as "My Husband's Martial Arts Alliance Master" and "The Killer Moved My Heart"; those who talk about cultivating immortals and maintaining health, such as "The Lord of the Six Realms Falls in Love with Me" and "My Fairy Adult"; There are also those who talk about the business world, such as "This shopkeeper is so domineering" and "The domineering husband is the richest man"; There is also a ...... who talks about the court."
I saw that Xu Rongchan was finally no longer expressionless, but looked at me with disgust, and I said, "Aunt Rongchan, what's wrong with you?" ”
Xu Rongchan said: "Miss is really well-read. ”
I smirked, "That's ......"
I saw Jiang Duo write: It's good to read filthy books.
I:......
Jiang Duo asked again: "I don't know what Miss is good at?" ”
I said, "Hair is long." "I have long hair and waist, and I'm almost up to my buttocks, and I always have insomnia because of the pain between the inside and outside of the quilt when I sleep.
Jiang Duo wrote: No specialty.
I:......
Jiang Duo said: "When Miss goes to private school, what kind of class does Mr. like the most, is it the Four Books and Five Classics or Qimen Dunjia?" ”
I said, "I like them all, and I sleep soundly in everything I say." ”
Jiang Duo wrote: I have no intention of studying.
Hehe......
Debao sent Jiang Duo out of the door and came back anxiously: "Oops! Fourth Miss, why are you talking nonsense, then Lord Wang will definitely be angry when he sees it, and he will join the Marquis again when the time comes! ”
I really wondered if their eunuchs were all making such a fuss, so I took a bite of the fritters and said: "Father-in-law Debao, Lord Wang obviously knows that I have a holiday with that Jiang Duo, but he still sent him over, which shows that he doesn't think about me well, and he wants to go to Shenshen, and my father's recitals are higher than mine, and they are not inferior to his one." Besides, you and Aunt Rongchan don't know what the situation is on my side, so you can write a note to explain it to Your Majesty today! ”
Na Debao sneered: "What did the fourth lady say, how can a slave write......
Could it be that you didn't count it in your heart? Don't think I didn't see you talking to the leader of the Yulin Army, one or two of them looked at us as prisoners, and asked for this and that, annoyed!
The third brother glanced at him and said, "The sister-in-law is young, and Father-in-law Debao must not take it to heart." ”
Debao regained his signature smile: "The third young master is serious, we are slaves, how dare we." ”
