Chapter Thirty-Eight: What Happened
Before the words landed, the Danyang people had already lifted the curtain and walked quickly into the inner room.
A glance swept over everyone in the room, and kept going straight to the bed, beside the eldest princess of Qinghe.
"Mother, do you feel better?"
The eldest princess of Qinghe was suddenly interrupted by her train of thought, and for a while she saw that her daughter was formless. actually made a joke before entering the door, replacing the etiquette that the elders should have, and I felt that the headache was even worse.
"Danyang, what about the etiquette you learn on weekdays?" While raising her hand to support her forehead and sighing, she waved her hand as if disgusted: "Go, say hello to the eldest aunt." ”
Danyang would never disagree with her mother, and after playfully sticking out her tongue at her mother, she turned around and said to Du Shi Fu very perfunctorily, and asked the next best thing again.
Not to mention the attitude and tone, the posture and movement of the salute are impeccable.
The county lord of Danyang has been famous since he was a child, he acts freely, and because of the connivance of his parents, he has an uncle who holds the power of the world to protect him, who dares to be more serious with her?
Because of this, Du Shi has long been accustomed to ignoring Danyang's every move, word and deed.
It's just that I was a little surprised to see Danyang salute today.
"Well, the county lord hasn't seen him for a few days, but he has grown a little. But he was born in the Zhenguo Mansion and has royal blood, so it is unreasonable for the county lord to only be so-so. Another day, the county lord will be with his sisters, and his ears and eyes will melt, and he will naturally grow faster. ”
After a brief pause, Du immediately turned his head to stare at the eldest princess of Qinghe.
At the same time, he opened his mouth and redirected the conversation again, which was a moment of crunch time.
"Brother and sister, have you thought about it? If you want to leave, call someone to dress and change your clothes. There are still some things in the Guogong Mansion waiting for me to go back and decide, but I can't wait for you for too long. ”
As he spoke, he even picked up the hot tea offered by Mama Feng and took a sip.
But without waiting for the eldest princess of Qinghe to speak, Danyang took the first step and chuckled:
"Auntie, what are you talking about to my mother? Could it be that you want to ask my mother to go to incense? That's not possible, now my mother still has to raise the fetus with peace of mind, and she is afraid of being disturbed and tired when she is recuperating in bed, but she can't live with her aunt. ”
Danyang's gag was successfully interrupted again, and Du deliberately put pressure on the eldest princess of Qinghe.
And that's not all, she didn't wait for the words to land, her eyes swept over Du Shi's deliberate three-finger cup, and raised her back two fingers to make an orchid-like gesture, and said with a smile:
"Auntie's gesture of drinking tea is really special. By the way, I remembered what my husband just taught a few days ago, and there is another set of rhetoric. Danyang felt very magnificent when he heard it, so I told my mother to relieve my boredom. ”
Du Shi was overjoyed when she heard this, she took this posture to take Qiao in front of the eldest princess of Qinghe, and hinted at her joy of watching a good show.
But this posture is really hard not to mention, and it's not fun to be so dark.
Unexpectedly, she felt regret in her heart, Qinghe's stupid daughter was reckless and was about to be provoked in public?
Heh, hehe.
What a rare show!
Although Du Shi disdained to be praised by a wild girl with little education, he couldn't bear the bottom of his heart and wanted to ridicule the strong desire to mock the eldest princess.
Therefore, at this time, there was no rush to urge the eldest princess of Qinghe to make a decision. Even, for the rare pleasant face of the county lord of Danyang, he smiled and said:
"The county lord is really getting more and more promising. Let's talk about it, and also relieve the boredom of the eldest aunt. ”
Danyang Chong frowned and looked at her mother, and after blinking secretly playfully, he spoke:
"The gesture of the eldest aunt holding the cup, commonly known as the three dragons guarding the tripod. After evolving to a woman's exclusive one, the ring finger and little finger are slightly upturned into an orchid shape, and there is also a nickname for Zelan Fangfei. It is a metaphor for the fragrance of tea, and it implies praise for the graceful beauty of women. ”
The eldest princess of Qinghe nodded silently while listening. Because I was glad that my daughter was knowledgeable and no longer just messed around, my mood gradually relaxed, and I unconsciously even relaxed the wrinkles between my eyebrows.
At first, Du Shi was still looking forward to the good show, and he casually agreed, and nodded as if encouraging. But when she heard the second half, she couldn't help but be secretly frightened and confused.
A small gesture of drinking tea, is there still so much exquisiteness?
This gesture of drinking tea, although she has seen it occasionally since she was a child. But because of the hard work to put it up, it is easy to splash yourself with an unstable teacup if it is not good. Therefore, whether it is a prominent family or a small wealthy family in Beijing, they do not pursue this flashy method.
As a result, although the gesture is beautiful and chic, it has never become popular. Not to mention, someone will delve into its origin and various theories.
And she will master this kind of gesture, it is completely a whim - when she went to the banquet, she heard that this gesture was a sign of the self-respecting identity of the nobles in the palace in previous years, or when suppressing opponents, showing momentum and calmness. She had nothing to do at this time, and asked someone to teach her twice.
But I don't want to, there are so many articles in it!
Tsk, what kind of gentleman did the princess's mansion invite to this unsuccessful wild girl?
Not to mention others, such a well-informed talent would succumb to teach Danyang such a girl who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it? It's almost buried in the pillars of the country!
It's better to take Qing and his mother and daughter back to the Zhenguo Mansion this time, and invite this gentleman back to the mansion by the way.
The best thing is that she can convince Grandpa Guo to go out in person and let this person go to teach her son.
I don't ask how good this person is in the Four Books and Five Classics, as long as she can let her son have more information and conversations, it is also excellent.
Or should it be said that in Du Shi's heart, these miscellaneous but bluffing little tricks are more useful in the capital than old-fashioned poetry books in her opinion.
At this moment, not only had all kinds of thoughts turned in Du Shi's mind, but he had even thought of the words to persuade the eldest princess of Qinghe.
Who knows, when she suddenly felt that someone slapped herself with her elbow, she raised her eyes and saw Danyang staring at her, and asked with a friendly smile:
"By the way, the eldest aunt just said that she was in a hurry, right? Although in my opinion, the use of this gesture is equivalent to telling the host to prepare three rounds of tea before he will stop. But thinking that the eldest aunt has a large family in the Zhenguo Mansion to worry about, my mother and I won't delay your efforts much, and Mama Zhou will send you off. ”
At this moment, Du Shi was completely stunned, although he didn't react to what was happening in front of him at all, except for hearing Danyang's completely undisguised mockery.
But that didn't affect her outbursts and frenzy.
"You, what nonsense are you talking about?!"
After angrily scolding Danyang, Du immediately turned to the eldest princess of Qinghe.
"Qinghe! You let your daughter mess around like this? Such a blatant eviction! You and the princess's mansion can be shameless, and the Zhenguo Mansion can't afford to lose this person! ”
The complexion that turned red suddenly because of Danyang's ridicule became more and more red because of Du's thunderous jump.
Mama Feng on the side saw it in her eyes and couldn't help but secretly take two steps back. As if I was afraid that the blood-red bulge would break and be splashed all over my body.
The eldest princess of Qinghe, as usual, looked at the person in front of her calmly, and at the moment when the other party's volume decreased, she pinched the gap in the conversation, and said lightly:
"Sister-in-law, don't be impatient. Danyang has made it very clear just now, please go back today. ”
