185. Dim Sum
Ning blushed slightly, and whispered, "Third sister...... You...... You Shuning pursed her lips and smiled, and out of the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of no one looking at this side, so she reached out and shook Yuan Ning's hand, secretly stuffed the piece of dim sum into Yuan Ning's hand, and said in a low voice: "I brought a few pieces, you can eat them quickly." ā
The corners of Yuanning's mouth curled, and she couldn't help it, she also looked up to look around, then turned her back to eat, turned her head and asked, "Is there ......anything else?" Shuning smiled and took her hand again. Yuan Ning blushed and said, "I haven't eaten since last night, and my mother won't allow me to drink water for a day today......" She lowered her head embarrassedly and turned her back again.
Shuning was taken aback. In fact, she herself only ate this morning, and she didn't eat lunch, which was to avoid excretion during the draft process. Because this palace may not be equipped with sanitary facilities for show girls, and even if there are, generally show girls will avoid it, in case they get a bad smell on their bodies. Shuning herself is purely worried that there will be no place to solve it. However, I have been on a hunger strike since last night and have not drunk water for a day...... This is too much, teenage girl, can you stand it?
She felt a little pity in her heart, so she stuffed another piece of snack for Yuan Ning. Her mother and sister-in-law Zhenzhen prepared glutinous rice candy for her, which does not emit an obvious smell and can satisfy hunger, which is really a must-have product for home travel, murder and arson...... Ahem, where did you think of it......
She was thinking wildly, and she also stuffed a piece of candy into her mouth, and before she could finish chewing it, Wanning suddenly woke up and said loudly: "I want it too!" It scared Shuning and Yan Ning a lot. Shuning swallowed the sugar desperately, and her mouth was desperately "shhh I was afraid that if it was too loud, it would arouse the suspicion of others, and I was really scared into a cold sweat.
Wan Ning looked at her mouth shape, her brain gradually cleared up, and she found that she was too reckless, so she smiled embarrassedly. Yuan Ning secretly beat her chest a few times, coughed lightly, and said angrily: "Second sister is sleeping, right?" Who do you steal from in your dreams? ā
The show girl who was attracted by Wan Ning's words, then turned her eyes away. Of course, some of them recognized Wan Ning. Some people were surprised by her beauty, and inevitably whispered a few words, mixed with some snickering, which made the person concerned feel uncomfortable.
Wan Ning rolled her eyes at Yuan Ning. looked at Shuning with some grievances and asked, "The third sister brought food, why didn't you tell me?" Shuning was helpless and didn't say anything more. Digging in his sleeve, he reached out to hold Wanning's hand, and stuffed a piece of snack under her somewhat inexplicable gaze.
A flash of joy flashed across Wan Ning's face. Shuning said in a low voice: "Avoid people, don't let people see it." She nodded quickly and cleared her throat. Pretending to glance around casually. Raise your sleeves to cover your face and cough.
Shuning almost rolled her eyes as well. Reach out and turn her over. Let her face the wall to eat. Yuan Ning frowned and looked at Wan Ning, and wanted to open her mouth several times, but she couldn't help it, turned around and looked to the other side, out of sight.
Shuning asked in a low voice, "I haven't seen my cousin Susu, where is she?" Hungry, right? Yuan Ning turned around and replied: "The girls here are all show girls with two red flags and two blue flags, and they are probably in the next room." Shuning understood, Su Xu seemed to be a person with a white flag, and it was normal not to be in the same room.
Wanning still wanted to eat it, so she held Shuning's hand and didn't let go, Yuanning was not convinced, and she wanted to pull it, Shuning felt a big headache. However, in the eyes of outsiders, it seems that among the three sisters, the most beautiful one and the less beautiful one are unhappy because of Fang Cai's quarrel, and the most inconspicuous one wants to play a round field, but the two of them pull her and hold her. The girls were talking louder, and even those who hadn't noticed this corner turned their eyes to this side.
Shuning had an even more headache, and said in a low voice: "Don't pull it, if something falls out, everyone else will know!" Wan Ning and Yuan Ning reluctantly let go after hearing this, Shu Ning sighed lightly, pinched the sleeves on both sides, there were only three pieces left, and was about to take out another piece, but suddenly heard someone talking behind him, hurriedly stopped his hand, and turned around as if nothing happened.
It's a strange show girl, who seems to be younger than the three of them, the whole person is brittle, watery, extremely shy and sweet, so that people can't wait to swallow it in one bite, it is simply the representative of Lori in the legend of "delicate and soft body". She blinked her innocent eyes like rabbits and asked timidly, "Three sisters...... It's Tatara's home, right? Just now...... On the way to come, my car ...... Fell into the mud puddle, thank you...... You are a native of ...... Saved me......"
Shuning has some black lines, if they didn't know, they would have thought that her life would be in danger if she fell into the big mud pit with someone and the car. But looking at such a cute girl, her face softened, and she said softly: "I don't dare to be, it's just that the eldest uncle ordered someone to go, and it's not our credit." ā
The show girl smiled shyly: "It's still ...... to thank you" Yuan Ning suddenly asked: "How do you know it's us?" We didn't get out of the car at the time. She seemed startled, and even more timid: "I...... I know your car...... Branded ...... IāI saw you get out of the car......"
Wan Ning glanced at Yuan Ning, pulled the show girl with a smile and said, "Don't pay attention to her, let's talk." My name is Wanning, this is my third sister Shuning, she is the fourth Yuanning. We are cousins. What is your name? ā
The girl smiled shyly and introduced herself in fits and starts. Her maiden name is Chang Lu, her surname is Nalashi, she is a person with red flags, and her father is a deputy capital. Wan Ning talked to her in detail, only to find out that she and her mother Nala clan were actually relatives, and the two were distant aunts and cousins, so they felt more and more cordial. It's boring to stay in the house and wait all the time, and having new friends can also bring freshness, plus Chang Lu's personality is very cute, so Wan Ning simply pulled her to chat, and even put the two sisters aside.
Shuning sighed secretly in her heart, and listened to them quietly. Suddenly found that someone was pulling her sleeve, and when she looked back, it was Yuan Ning, and asked in her ear softly: "Third sister...... Is there anything else? ā
Shuning pursed her lips and smiled, Yuanning like this is really cute. She lowered her sleeves and touched the hidden pocket inside, and found one that quickly turned into Yuan Ning's hand, and Yuan Ning bent the corners of her mouth. Put it away.
But Wan Ning found out about their actions and hurriedly said, "Does the third sister still have some snacks?" Changlu is also hungry. Next to him, Changlu looked over with a pair of watery eyes, looking at her delicate and timid appearance, no one could refuse.
Shuning was almost about to pull something out, but fortunately she maintained the last shred of her sanity, remembering that she had only eaten a piece and was still very hungry, and Wan Ning was the same, so she said to her with some hesitation: "I...... There's only one piece left. Second sister, you ......" Wan Ning was stunned, secretly regretting it, she shouldn't have mentioned it in front of her new friends.
Chang Lu blinked a pair of slightly moist eyes, and said timidly: "I...... I don't care......" Shuning took out a piece and stuffed it to Wanning. Wan Ning looked at Chang Lu's longing look, and hesitantly handed it over. Chang Lu immediately smiled: "Thank you, Sister Wanning, you are so nice." Then he quickly glanced around. I stuffed the snack into my mouth in an instant. Wan Ning turned around, feeling that she was getting more and more hungry, and she hadn't eaten dinner yet.
Shuning touched the only remaining snack in her sleeve and pulled Yuan Ning over. excuse
I breathed in and walked away. Wan Ning didn't care, she was still a little tired after standing on her new friend's leg for a long time. Also move around from time to time.
Shuning went to the window. After a few glances outside, he hid in front of the nearby wall and quickly pulled out the piece of candy. I was about to eat it, but after thinking about it, I broke it in half, hid half of it, and ate the other half. She looked up and found that Yuan Ning had just finished eating a snack, and the two looked at each other and smiled. Shuning pointed to the corners of her mouth, indicating that there were crumbs on the side of her mouth. Yuan Ning hurriedly wiped the handkerchief clean, and then pulled Shuning back to her original position with a smile.
Wan Ning was talking with Chang Lu, she said to Shu Ning with a look of amazement: "Third sister, it turns out that Sister Chang Lu does not live in Beijing, she came from Shandong, and when she heard the emperor's will, she was still in Tianjin, but the time was only one day and one night, and she rode a fast horse into Beijing." ā
Shuning was a little surprised, this is not simple. I saw Chang Lu blushing and said, "Our family is very good at riding and shooting...... It's not a ......."
At this time, a eunuch suddenly walked into the room and said loudly: "The show girl with two red flags and two blue flags is about to stand, it's your turn." The girls in the house were in a mess. Shuning clearly saw someone quickly stuffing something into his sleeve, and his mouth was still bulging. It turns out that someone else has brought something to eat like her.
A thirteen or fourteen-year-old show girl came over and called Chang Lu over, and the latter smiled embarrassedly: "This is my sister of the same clan, she ......" Before she finished speaking, the show girl hurriedly nodded and signaled to Wanning and the others, pulled Chang Lu up and left, and said in her mouth: "When is it, my sister is still running around, after chatting here and there, after chatting one ...... after another"
Under the command of the eunuchs, the three Shuning sisters stood according to the flag and the year. The first to be called was the show girl under the red flag, and the first one was Wanning. She straightened her chest and confidently followed the little eunuch who led the way out. Shuning waited a little uneasily, thinking about what to do in the talent assessment later? Anyway, the piano art is already a little rusty, so it's better to play the piano. But it's a little strange that this place is not far from the main hall, why didn't you hear the sound of the piano? Don't this year's show girls regard piano art as a participating event?
There were not many people who should choose the place under the red flag, and soon it was her turn. She took a deep breath, walked out of the door with the little eunuch, walked down the corridor to the main hall, met Wanning at the door, saw the other party smile, and took the first step.
Shuning paused and walked through the door. I saw a large screen in the middle of the hall, two tables in front, one stacked with a roster, two little eunuchs recording something, and behind the table in front, there was a middle-aged eunuch sitting with a round face and a lovely smile.
Shuning saluted, reported the names of the banner and the leader, and the father, and the middle-aged eunuch nodded and said, "Everyone else calls me Manager Tang, so you can call it like that." Shuning screamed and listened carefully to what he said about the exam.
As a result, there is no need to show talent or anything. The head of the church only asked two questions, one was what it meant to "have friends from afar, and the other was how many disciples Confucius had."
Shuning was very embarrassed, although she told herself that if she pretended not to know, she would lose the election, but she couldn't answer such a simple question, which was really insulting to her IQ. She was hesitating, when she suddenly heard Mr. Tang: "Can't you answer?" How so? Aunt Minglan told me that your talent is good. ā
Shu Ning's heart froze, and several thoughts quickly turned in her mind, although she still said the answer in the end, she was still a little nervous, her fingers involuntarily grabbed her sleeves, felt the hard touch, her heart moved, she crushed the sugar inside, pretended to wipe the corners of her forehead inadvertently, and gently shook her sleeves, and some sugar chips fell out.
She raised her eyes to see Manager Tang's reaction, but the other party just smiled and bent her eyebrows, and said, "Girl's sleeve...... There's something good, huh...... In fact, every time a draft girl is drafted, there will be such a thing. Although the rules are not allowed, the show girls who should be selected are all little girls, and it is not easy to stay up all night, so we old people will turn a blind eye and see it. Don't worry, little girl, I won't tell anyone. He looked like "I'm very good, I'll help you keep secrets", and Shuning couldn't help but be a little discouraged.
Manager Tang turned around and asked someone to remember Shuning's name, and then turned back to her and said, "Niangniang has already said hello, I know what to do, don't worry." Shuning watched the little eunuch write down her name, and her heart was at a loss. What's going on? Unexpectedly, the Queen Mother and the mother both took action.
A little eunuch came in and said, "Chief Manager Tang, the next one is almost here, it's the Gege of Lord Xingbao's family." Manager Tang hurriedly called for a quick please, then turned around and smiled: "This can't be lazy." Little Fanzi, come and send Miss Shuning out. ā
Shuning followed the little eunuch out of the palace gate, and when she saw Yuanning looking at her in surprise, she smiled reluctantly and left. I don't know how many doors she walked through, how long she walked, and when she returned to the Shenwu Gate she had passed before, she came to her senses. Looking at the sky, it was almost noon, and the rain had already stopped.
Wan Ning was waiting in the doorway, and when she looked back at her, she said, "Why did it take so long?" I've been waiting for a while. Get in the car. Shuning wiped her cold sweat and said, "Wait a little longer, the fourth sister will be here soon." Wan Ning pursed her lips, looked at her with some doubts, and asked, "Why is your face so ugly?" Didn't you answer? No way? It's simple. She seemed to understand a little, and pulled the corners of her mouth and said, "I'm worried that I will lose the election, right?" What does it matter? It's not a good thing to be selected, and it's comfortable to be unsuccessful. But I was thinking in my heart that this cousin acted so indifferent, but in fact, she also cared about whether she could be selected, and it seemed that she was just a layman.
Shuning didn't have the strength to answer, so she looked down at the ground. Yuan Ning came after a while, and said to Shu Ning with a smile: "Third sister, thank you for the snacks you gave me earlier, I almost fainted from hunger." Shuning smiled: "I still have snacks and water in the car, if you are hungry, why don't you come and eat." Yuan Ning smiled and nodded.
The guards and eunuchs next to him stopped: "According to the rules, the show girl is going to take the original car out of the palace gate, and the adults outside the household department still have to check it." Yuan Ning pleaded: "I'm not unruly, I'm just going to sit in the car in front of me." I'll be able to do it right away when I want to check it. But the other side refused to budge.
Wan Ning climbed into the car first, turned around and said, "Rules are rules, and the fourth sister is better to abide by the rules." Then he reached down the curtain. A trace of anger flashed in Yuan Ning's eyes, and without saying much, she stomped her feet and turned around and got into her own car.
Shuning sighed, got into her car, and hugged her knees in a daze. It took a while to calm down with the sound of the wheels turning.
What if you pass both rounds of the primary? I have to go to the palace for re-election! When the time comes to stand with the two sisters, there are beauties on both sides, and she will definitely be ignored in the past. What's more, there are three sisters to choose at the same time, those girls are not fools, and one will be eliminated.
Only then did she feel better, opened the small wooden box next to her, and ate her snacks in cold white.
