009 Grandma
For a few days, I always thought of the appearance of Emperor Guangxu that night, it seems that he is also a very benevolent and kind-hearted emperor, but when I think that he will be imprisoned in Yingtai for ten years and lonely, until he dies of arsenic poisoning, such a depressed and sad end of his life, I am really a little depressed.
Emperor Guangxu is really unlucky, he should be a rich Baylor, living a leisurely life, but he has the emperor's luck all his life, or in the situation when the fortune of the Qing Dynasty is approaching, there is neither time nor location, as if God destined him to embark on a road of no return.
To be honest, after being fiddled with by Bai Ge last time, I am really scared when I face the hair, makeup, flag clothes and many heavy jewelry of the Qing Dynasty. The most important thing is that I have always felt that it is not very good-looking, and when it is taken care of seriously, it is not at all. As soon as I woke up in the morning, I was fiddled with by Bai Ge and a group of little maids, under my strong resistance, they only had a fairly simple perfect bun loosely fixed on my head, and the ends of the temples were dotted with a pair of honey-colored crystal hairpins, just to meet the bright sunlight that came in between the windows, and the water color faintly revealed a few traces of milky white, which could also show the temperament of a little delicate and elegant dust, a few thin tassels hung down between the hairpins, and when the breeze blew through the ears, it would make a low string of crisp sounds.
Bai Ge looked at me left and right, and said with a smile: "The fifth girl has fair skin, and she really looks good when she wears this honey." ”
I touched the tassel hanging from my ear, and asked Bai Ge, "What are you doing today to dress me up so exquisitely?" ”
Bai Ge replied with a happy face: "The maid next to grandma just came over to spread the word, saying that she would come to this mansion to see the fourth and fifth girls later. ”
I was stunned, I also lived here for a few days, and I really haven't seen this Mrs. Changxu, she is the biological mother of Zhijun and Zhirui, and she is also the original partner in this family, everyone calls her "grandma".
I smiled and said, "I haven't seen my grandmother for a long time, and I don't know how she is doing?" ”
Bai Ge replied: "Wait for the fifth girl to see it later, won't it be clear?" She took two more brocade robes and held them up in front of me, and asked with a smile, "Which one does the girl want to wear today?" ”
I swept over and saw that the glow-colored robe on the left was embroidered with colorful clouds and birds, and the yellow robe on the right was embroidered with butterflies fluttering in spring.
I looked down and thought about it, and after a while, I raised my hand and pointed to the robe on my right and said, "This one." ”
In order to show the importance of this meeting, after all, I am an elder, and I can't deal with it at will, Bai Ge has worn four or five pieces of clothes for me from the inside out, two of which are not very breathable, even in autumn, covering for a while, I also feel extremely stuffy. When he walked to the living room, Ziyu was already sitting on the lotus-patterned gold stool on the side, looking calm and leisurely. I looked at her sweating profusely and asked, "Fourth sister, don't you feel hot?" ”
Ziyu glanced at me a few times, covered her mouth and smiled: "Now that late autumn is coming, it's just five clothes, is it so hot?" ”
I sat next to me, raised my sleeve and wiped the sweat from my forehead, and said, "If it's really hot, why hasn't grandma come yet, if I don't come, I'm going to suffer from heat stroke." ”
Ziyu frowned and asked, "Heat stroke?" ”
I hurriedly said, "That's what it means." ”
After hearing this, Ziyu smiled and nodded, "It turned out to be Zhongwei," sighed, "Zhongwei is Zhongwei, where does heat stroke come from?" ”
I didn't know how to answer for a while, and I couldn't tell her that heat stroke was a modern term, so I had to say nonsense: "That's what is said in Western studies." ”
As he was talking, he saw the curtain raised, a mermaid entered, the green snail eyebrows were long, the bead flower tassel was abandoned, and the three thousand green silk were only curled up with a plum hairpin with meticulous carving, and the lead was light.
Wearing a slightly plain lotus-white satin robe, the upper head seems to be embroidered with light gray silk threads to create pieces of white clouds, and the red silk threads are coiled out of plum blossoms under the white clouds, and a dark brown tie-necked gauze is draped outside.
I secretly admired that my grandmother must have been beautiful when she was young.
When my grandmother saw me, her eyes were full of kindness and love, and she was smiling, and she turned her eyes away to look at Ziyu, and the maids and servants in the room all leaned down, and I reacted and leaned down.
Grandma smiled and helped me and Ziyu up, and said, "Let's all get up." After the maids and servants got up, they smiled and said to me and Ziyu again: "Let you wait for a long time, there are some things that have been delayed." ”
Ziyu smiled and said, "Grandma is busy, we have nothing to do, just wait." Ziyu looked at me, and I nodded hurriedly.
After grandma sat down, the maid served to wipe her face and wash her hands, while Ziyu turned around and went out, instructing the maid outside to pass the meal, and I was still standing next to me, only feeling that the rules were very big at the moment, and I really didn't dare to move.
Grandma kept smiling at the corner of her mouth, looking a little tired, and her eyes were half-closed. After Ziyu came in, he smiled and said, "It's time to start eating." ”
Grandma said "um", struggled her eyes, looked at me and asked with a smile: "Zixi is getting better and better, you were naughty when you were a child, and then you grew up unrestrained with your uncle in Guangzhou, and now you were elected to the palace, I am really worried about you in my heart," lowered his voice, "I don't know whether entering the palace is a blessing or a curse for you?" ”
I replied, "Most of the things in the world are based on misfortune and fortune, and grandma doesn't have to worry about me." ”
Grandma said, "When you grow up, don't stand up, sit down." ”
I nodded and sat down with Ziyu, during the banquet, grandma smiled and said a few words to Ziyu from time to time, and I ate silently on the side.
Grandma said: "I came here today mainly to talk to your sisters about entering the palace, the draft has passed for many days, in two days, I am afraid that someone will come to the palace to teach you the etiquette and various rules in the palace, and then the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will assign a large group of palace dependents, eunuchs, and grandmothers to come to the house, and they still need someone to take care of it." ”
I was shocked and said, "So fast! ”
Grandma said, "Is this still fast?" ”
Ziyu said: "Generally, when the concubine enters the palace, it takes half a year to learn etiquette. ”
I saw Ziyu's happy look on his face, but I was not happy at all, and sighed: "With so many people looking at me, can't you see Zhijun, Zhirui and Zhiqi again?" ”
Grandma said, "Yes." ”
I frowned and said, "In that case, how boring life must be!" ”
Grandma stared at me and smiled: "I just said that you have grown up, how are you still the same old look, look, don't worry about how you will be?" After entering the palace, you can't be like at home, you have to keep more eyes on everything," and looked at Ziyu again, "Ziyu is the same, this palace looks brilliant, but it is a place that can really eat people." ”
I asked curiously: "Grandma is well-informed, do you know what kind of person the emperor is?" What kind of emperor? ”
Grandma said with regret on her face: "No matter how well-informed I am, I am a woman after all, how can I have the opportunity to meet the face of heaven, let alone know what kind of character the saint is." ”
I said deflated: "I don't know the emperor at all, how can I marry him with peace of mind!" "Even if I happened to see Emperor Guangxu on the night of Qixi Festival, I could only see three points of character, and I didn't know anything about the other seven points.
Grandma looked at me suspiciously and asked, "Didn't you meet Lafayette and the emperor during the draft?" After thinking for a while, he said, "It stands to reason that if you look and listen with cold eyes and watch the style of conversation, you should be able to see a little bit of bearing, why are you so worried?" ”
Ziyu said: "Didn't Zixi fall from the tree a few days ago, the doctor said that she kowtowed, some things I don't remember, the diagnosis said that it was temporary amnesia caused by excessive fright." ”
Grandma frowned and said, "Temporary amnesia? How come I've never heard of this symptom? ”
Ziyu said: "It turns out that grandma is also the first time to hear about it, and I am also the first time to hear about it!" ”
Grandma asked, "What kind of doctor is it, and what are your medical skills?" ”
Ziyu said: "It was my uncle who invited me back, and it would not be wrong to come to medicine, it is said that the doctor had followed Western medicine for several years to study in the West, and this statement is the saying in Western medicine." ”
Grandma nodded and said, "Next time, I still have to ask a Chinese medicine doctor to come and see it." ”
I hurriedly said, "No, except for some things that I don't remember clearly, I think everything else is fine." ”
Grandma looked at me and said worriedly, "It's not good to forget what, just forget this most important thing," paused, thought for a while, and continued, "But as far as your frizzy and careless temperament, even if you remember, I'm afraid you won't be able to see anything superfluous, so you have to wait until you enter the palace in the future to slowly understand," After a while, she glared at me again, "Look at it yourself, they are all people who are about to enter the palace, and they have to climb the ladder in the mansion, but is it too nonsense?" ”
I bowed my head slightly, and said with a sad face: "Grandma, don't talk about me anymore, I've already been punished." ”
Grandma stared at me helplessly, sighed, shook her head and said, "I only hope that you can restrain your temperament after entering the palace." After sitting for a while, the mother-in-law asked at the door, "Can grandma rest here today?" ”
Grandma said lightly, "No need." ”
After a stick of incense, as soon as my grandmother left, I immediately relaxed, trotted and shouted for Bai Ge to hurry up and change my clothes. Ziyu looked at me with a smile, and at the same time took out a brocade handkerchief from her sleeve and fanned it lightly for me, "Why don't I think it's so hot with you?" Grandma is dressed more than us! She's not hot either! You're so heart-burning! ”
I looked at Ziyu helplessly with a smile and didn't speak, and I couldn't understand why they didn't feel hot, I could only say that maybe they had been like this since they were young, and gradually, they got used to it.
Grandma went out of the house, Ziyu and the maid and the maid's face were very happy, it seemed that I was the only one who was full of loneliness and didn't dare to think about it.
