Chapter 317: Beginning to Learn Etiquette
In the past, Zhu Hongyu felt that as long as someone in front of her said the name "Zhang Yu", it was disrespectful to her, and it was clear that Runye was her person, but she was put on the side by this woman who was married and killed her husband, and she Zhu Hongyu was not convinced.
But after the trip to Liangzhou, Zhu Hongyu felt that she had changed, perhaps she had grown.
It was as if everyone was using the name "Zhang Yu" to satirize her blindness.
But now, Zhu Hongyu is suddenly unaware of this name, and maybe in the final analysis, she still feels that she doesn't love enough.
I don't like Runye's style, I don't like Runye's rhetoric, and I even arranged half a distance behind Runye.
"What happened to Zhang Yu to our family?"
Zhu Hongyu asked this question very calmly, and Zhan Ao lowered his head and pursed his lips, as if he had been insulted when he heard this name.
It's just that he didn't expect his sister to care about this Zhang Yu at all.
"Sister, you know, at that time, our family didn't run a rest area, Zhang Yu saw that the rest area made money, so he repeatedly came to rob it on the grounds that it was the business of Sanguan Temple. Of course, I didn't let her succeed, but she gathered a large number of people to come over and prevent us from doing business. Later, it was only after Zhang Yu left that our family's business gradually returned to normal. ”
Zhu Hongyu sighed and glanced at Aunt Lianxin.
"Zhan Ao, how did your ship wreck, I won't ask today, you pack up your clothes in this room, and Amber and I will learn etiquette in the opposite room. When you have a good rest tomorrow, you can start studying quickly, and don't lose your honor in front of the palace again. Otherwise, our family will be doomed! ”
Hearing this, Zhan Ao was not excited about the rest of his life, but felt that he had fallen into a more dangerous state.
He looked at Aunt Lianxin worriedly, and looked at his sister with an innocent expression.
"Now the third day of the first lunar month is running out, are we ...... The best opportunity has been missed. ”
"This master." Lianxin stepped forward and handed a handkerchief to Zhan Ao, with a full smile on his face, "You don't need to be happy about this question at all, you can understand the official language, it is very convenient for me to teach, many Fanbang can't speak official at all, so it is difficult to explain it clearly in a month or two." Besides, a few people who are knowledgeable and have a foundation in etiquette, I will not take long to adjust and train. ”
Zhu Hongyu thought to herself, their identities were just rural people in the township, and even if the etiquette was wrong, the emperor would turn a blind eye.
There is no need for him to embarrass his subjects, they have no influence on the throne, and if he treats them well, he can still get a good reputation as a "virtuous king".
"Yes, I'll bother my aunt."
After saying this, Zhu Hongyu also appeased Zhan Ao, and the two sisters went to the opposite room to learn etiquette, while Zhan Ao cleaned up in the house alone.
When the door was closed, Aunt Lianxin was still as kind as ever, and she didn't feel arrogant in the palace at all.
This is the difference between treating retainers and palace people, in fact, palace people are just the emperor's minions, and they don't look down on these maids the most.
"Two masters, what we are going to learn today is the etiquette of going to the palace to meet the queen. The two masters must have wondered why it was not the etiquette of the court to meet the emperor. To tell the truth, there is no distinction between men and women, but there is a difference between men and women, although the emperor's holy decree says that it is to meet the emperor, but the women are directly to the queen, and the men are to meet the emperor. So today's master is also right, the three of you can't teach at the same time. ”
Zhu Hongyu was secretly glad that she had finally done something right.
Aunt Lianxin was very happy when she saw Zhu Hongyu, so she continued what she had just said.
"Then this master should also know that there are not a few days left before the third day of the first lunar month, if you don't work hard and work overtime to study, the final result will definitely only be able to learn a rough idea, plus the old body is just a palace maid in the palace, a mortal, without three heads and six arms. If you teach here, you will definitely leave the master over there. The master over there will meet, but if you can't keep it in order, there will be a mistake on your side. I still hope that you can forgive, if there is something wrong with the old body, it is all for your good. ”
Zhu Hongyu nodded, still smiling.
"Auntie doesn't need to worry about us, my sister and I are both well-read and literate, so our heads are more flexible than ordinary little palace maids. In the matter of learning etiquette, it is related to the reputation of our Zhu family. Although we are just born in a small family with a lot of grass, but with a little time, we will definitely be able to fly on the branches and become phoenixes. ”
Amber, who was on the side, quickly pulled the sleeve of the vermilion jade.
You know, they know that Zhu Hongyu is in business, and the phrase "flying on the branches and becoming a phoenix" means that they are doing business, but my aunt will definitely not think like this! I must have thought that Zhu Hongyu had some other intentions.
Only then did Zhu Hongyu feel that she was speechless, and she hurriedly spoke.
But Aunt Lianxin showed a meaningful smile.
"Recently, the emperor is not in good health, and I heard that the queen is preparing to seal the six palaces, and finally a few girls will be selected to enter the palace to serve the emperor. It will also be the girl's luck when the time comes. ”
Zhu Hongyu waved her hand again and again, indicating that she didn't have that kind of mind.
"Auntie, let's get started......"
Amber interrupted the conversation between the two people who were not in the same place at all, and asked Aunt Lianxin to hurry up and teach.
Lianxin is naturally a sincere person, and she won't think much about what Zhu Hongyu just said, in this palace, the most important thing is to be loyal.
"Two mains, let's start by walking. First of all, walking is not what we are doing at will now, when we get to the palace, we need to walk slowly, and what we pursue is a stable word. When you take a step, you should walk your legs above the central axis. It is said that in the past, when the palace people walked, they would wear jade pendants that made sounds, and if they made the sound of jade pendants, it was considered indecent. Two masters, it's better to go first. ”
Amber went first, because she had learned this before, and Shen Hanyang, a sour scholar, had taught her a full set of etiquette, and now she could use it.
She hunched her waist, her chest and back, and her head drooped slightly, which showed that the woman was extremely subtle.
Walking from one corner of the room to the other, the posture is graceful and gentle.
Seeing that Zhu Hongyu was stunned, she felt that her sister was a very attractive person, no wonder Lu Mingci could also be taken down by her.
That's power.
Soon, Zhu Amber finished her journey, she turned around with a smile, and then looked at her sister.
"Sister, you can go too."
Zhu Hongyu stood in place, not knowing what to do, so she could only walk towards the central axis in embarrassment, but she would forget about holding her chest.
In this way, I walked seven or eight times, and finally once Zhu Hongyu went right, practiced a few more times, and finally passed the test.
Aunt Lianxin saw that the two masters would leave, so she began to teach more exquisite etiquette.
Now the two masters are equivalent to walking from outside the palace to the palace, waiting outside the Yikun Palace where the queen lives. At this time, a palace maid will come out of the house and say to everyone that the queen is up. Everyone is arranged according to the rank of the husband's family or the official family. Of course, your position should be the lowest in this Hajj, so it's good that the two masters stand at the end. ”
When Zhu Hongyu heard this, she felt like she had met a savior.
She doesn't know why she is so stupid in learning etiquette, maybe she has been with Runye for a long time, and she is suppressed by his restrained feeling, so she is very xenophobic about all etiquette.
"The pilgrims go in twos and twos, and you two are at the end, and then you will see the queen high up in the distance. Then you will have to make the feast gifts. I'll cover it up for you. ”
As she spoke, Lianxin put her handkerchief inside her cuff.
Kneel down with one leg first, then the other.
Kneeling on both legs is a great gift.
Then she raised her hands slightly, crossed them in front of her, grabbed her lower abdomen in a cross shape, and then when she kowtowed, she put her hands in front of her, and her forehead just touched her hands.
I can't say where the subtlety is in such a posture, but Zhu Hongyu feels as if there is an indescribable subtle feeling.
Soon, Lianxin finished teaching etiquette.
Two masters, you can take a quilt and put it under your legs to practice, but after entering the palace, there are many places where you need to kowtow, and several masters may have sore legs for several days.
Hearing Lianxin's words, Zhu Hongyu sighed.
It's really an evil old society, no wonder the kneeling ritual was abolished at that time.
In addition to making people look down on the etiquette of kneeling, it is completely a posture invented by a sick person who hurts his knees and legs.
For this posture, Zhu Hongyu knows that now she has to learn to learn, and she has to learn if she doesn't learn.
What to do? It was only with Amber, and it can even be said that under Amber's leadership, Zhu Hongyu began to learn how to salute.
Kneel first, then cross your hands......
Aunt Lianxin watched from the sidelines, and kept saying "wrong, wrong, wrong", of course, most of the mistakes were made by Zhu Hongyu, either by putting her hand wrong, or by repeating it absent-mindedly, or by remembering it wrongly. Anyway, Zhu Hongyu's situation is endless.
But Amber had mastered the general rules of etiquette, and she learned them at a rapid pace, and taught them to her sister.
To be honest, Lianxin felt that in this way, at least she was a lot easier, at least she taught an amber, and the boy on the other side didn't have to worry about it.
Finally, half an hour later.
Zhu Hongyu never went wrong again.
But it was accompanied by profuse sweating and sweating.
She never knew that it could be so hot in winter.
"Hey, that's a bit of an anomaly."
Aunt Lianxin looked at the sky, it seemed that it was still cloudless, it had never rained, and there was not a drop of rain in the entire Jiangnan.
But why is it suddenly so cold a few days ago, and now it's so hot?
Aunt Lianxin, who really couldn't figure it out, could only sigh, and then continued to teach her little apprentice who was not a weapon-Zhu Hongyu.
She would rather never leave the palace herself, and she didn't want to see someone like Zhu Hongyu, who was like a fool.
Zhu Hongyu felt extremely aggrieved......
