Chapter 20 Guo Concubine's Demonstration
"Your Majesty has gone to the palace garden?" Empress Dowager Li asked.
"Yes." The palace maid lowered her hand. "But Your Majesty didn't meet the show girl, as if he saw the show girl and walked on another road."
"Go to Cining Palace, I'll discuss with my sister, it's time to meet the show girl." Empress Dowager Li said.
Wang Zhixi said that she wanted to come and live with Wang Ronghe, Wang Ronghe saw her, Wang Zhixi was not so sticky to her before, "What about your Miss Liu who said yes?" ”
Wang Zhixi tugged at the handkerchief, "It would be best if my sister could get both of me into the main hall, if not, Mulan also told me that she knew I was afraid." She came from a farmer's background and was not so afraid. ”
"Didn't you go and tell your aunt about this yourself?" Wang Ronghe said. Are you going to move into the front hall and let me help you out?
"Sister." Wang Zhixi's eyes immediately turned red, and she was pitiful.
"Alright, I'll tell you, you don't have to make that face." Wang Ronghe said, in fact, Wang Zhixi's tricks were useless to her at home, although she didn't have Wang Zhixi's ability to tear when she said it, but there was always a handkerchief with added materials hidden in her sleeve, covering her face and rubbing her eyes, she could also pretend to be pitiful, not just repeating that it was my fault or something, who wouldn't.
After Wang Zhixi left, Wang Ronghe didn't have to go to his aunt in person, and called Xitao, "My sister is a little scared to live in the apse, and she wants to live in the front hall, you go and ask Aunt Shanggong, is it convenient?" ”
"Now the girls in the apse want to live in the front hall, and my aunt is now being annoyed by the first two big." Xi Tao said.
"Then you say, my sister and I will change, she will go to the front hall, I will go to the back hall, one radish for one pit, my aunt has nothing to worry about." Wang Ronghe said.
"But girl, now everyone thinks the apse is unlucky, why do you still go to the apse." Xi Tao asked.
"It's not really haunted, where does the bad luck come from. Besides, I'm now in the apse. Wang Ronghe said with a smile.
"When you go to ask your aunt, you also ask for me." Yang Jingru said, "Doesn't your sister still have a companion, let the two of them live together." ”
"I'll also go to the apse to get quiet." Yang Jingru smiled, "It's hard to get familiar with pulling your hair, what should I do if you're gone?" ”
Wang Ronghe smiled, there was a little more sincerity in this smile.
Wang Ronghe and Yang Jingru moved into the apse, Wang Zhixi and Liu Mulan moved into the front hall, Wang Zhixi looked at Wang Ronghe tremblingly, "Sister, sister, I didn't think about exchanging with you, I just wanted to squeeze with you." "Wang Ronghe changed the dormitory with her, and the discerning person knows that it is from good to bad, doesn't it fulfill her reputation? And what if my aunt thinks she's squeamish? It's completely more than worth the loss.
"It's okay, aren't you scared. I'm not afraid. Wang Ronghe said, "You and Miss Liu go to live together, I have already agreed with them, let you live in a compartment, adjacent bunks." ”
"Sister Wang, I'm not afraid, otherwise you and Zhixi will live in the front hall together." Liu Mulan said.
"Jingru was transferred to the apse because of me, if I live alone in the front hall and let her stay in the apse, wouldn't it be unjust." Wang Ronghe said, "Don't say anything, move quickly, otherwise Aunt Shanggong will come to ask what happened here." ”
It wasn't until the front hall was settled that Liu Mulan said to Wang Zhixi, "Your sister may have a bad mouth or don't know how to show closeness to you, but she still has a good heart, and she is willing to change rooms with you at this time. ”
Wang Zhixi nodded with red eyes, "So I don't want to go, I knew that I wanted my sister to move out, so I won't say this." ”
"Since you're here, you can stay in peace. Otherwise, my aunt will be annoyed. Liu Mulan said.
It is not more than the front hall is full of all the compartments, and there are only two people living in one compartment in the apse, Wang Ronghe stood in the center, took a deep breath, and felt that the air was fresher.
"There are more people in front of me, and I am dizzy when I hear a word, and it's really good to get to the apse." Yang Jingru also said the truth.
Originally, there were seven people in a palace to serve, and now the apse is dissatisfied, and the palace maids have gone to the front hall to serve, and the east and west side halls of the apse have left two palace maids and two eunuchs to serve, and the main hall has only three palace maids and two eunuchs to serve. Xi Tao followed from the front hall to the back hall to serve, Wang Ronghe said with a smile, the front hall is now crowded, no matter how many palace maids can not withstand the call, to the back hall is good.
Xi Tao only pursed her lips and smiled. She likes Miss Wang, since Miss Wang praised her for having a good name, Miss Wang is still good to serve, she is willing to serve Miss Wang, besides, Miss Wang has not finished the silver she gave.
Wang Ronghe took a position under the window in the apse, and was leaning on the kang table to watch the scenery in a daze, someone knocked a few times outside the window, and a little eunuch showed his head and smiled at Wang Ronghe, "Say hello to the girl, the little one is called An Deshun, and the girl can call me if she has any call." ”
Afraid that Wang Rong would not believe it, he also said that it was Gonggong Zhang who asked me to listen to the girl's dispatch.
Wang Ronghe saw that he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and he was still a half-grown child, so he couldn't smile so sincerely in the palace, his heart softened, and he took out three silver beans from his purse and gave them to him. "Oh, I'll buy you candy to eat."
"Thank you, girl." An Deshun smiled even more happily, Brother Zhang said, the master's reward for silver is to use you.
The next day, a painter came to paint a portrait of the show girl, everyone has heard of Wang Zhaojun's story, the biggest purse must be prepared for the painter, Wang Ronghe walked to the back and took a look when the painter painted other show girls, the goatee painter looked back at Wang Ronghe, as if he was afraid that she would steal the teacher.
Wang Ronghe decided to save his purse.
The goose egg face with the same black and white lines only talks about the shape and does not talk about the details, and it is not much better to give the purse.
After bringing the evening, my aunt came to announce that she would go to Cining Palace in batches of twenty people tomorrow to meet the Queen Mother. "She is the aunt who gave Wang Ronghe the final check, usually she is not in Chuxiu Palace, she only appears when she lectures or has a big event, and the rest is another aunt in charge of Chuxiu Palace.
"Today, she and her sister Wang Zhixi changed bedrooms, and they took turns to rank and went to the back." Aunt said. "But what's wrong?"
"Nothing." Aunt Cui shook her head, thinking about the first time she was in the audience, and there was nothing to do before and after, and she was going to be given an advance, which was eye-catching.
The show girl in the apse was talking. "At this time, the front hall must take advantage, the queen mother must be in good spirits in the morning, and in the afternoon, it is our turn, and the hasty rate will be over. Sure enough, you have to move to the front hall desperately. ”
"Not necessarily." Wang Ronghe said, "You think, you must be nervous when you go to meet the Queen Mother in the morning, but if you go again in the afternoon, your mentality must be more stable and your performance will be more decent." ”
"If your aunt says now that you are going to meet the Queen Mother tomorrow morning, will you still be able to sleep tonight and be refreshed tomorrow morning?" Wang Ronghe said with a smile on his face, so that the others also calmed down.
"You're going to meet the Queen Mother, aren't you nervous?" Someone asked.
"Nervous, can you not see that?" Wang Ronghe said.
Wang Rong and Yiying live as usual, others see her so calm, feel that they are too unpresentable in comparison, no matter how much the heart turns over the river and the sea, and the face is also calm as water, how many cities can the little girl have, pretending to be true will come true, but she has a good night's sleep, got up early and had breakfast, sat quietly in the room, and the nervousness of meeting the queen mother was not so nervous.
Just like Sister Wang said, can you still see it?
Chuxiu Palace is some distance from Cining Palace, the aunt of the Shanggong Bureau leads the way, and all the show girls who met the Queen Mother in the afternoon are divided into two columns and walk behind her, and the aunt turns around and emphasizes, "The person the girls are about to meet is the most noble woman in the world. Walking in front of the palace, do not raise your head, do not stand up, look at your nose with your eyes, look at your mouth and heart, unite your knowledge with action, be cautious in your words and deeds, and hope that all the girls will act according to etiquette and act carefully. ”
"Aunt Xie's teachings." The show girls said in unison.
After walking along the long palace wall for two quarters of an hour, Wang Ronghe heard the sound of unsteady breath behind him, one after another, The long palace road finally turned, and the aunt stopped and turned around, "Girls, rest first." ”
There are not a few people in the queue who have little feet wrapped in them, and no one has helped them to walk such a long way, and it is really stepping on the tip of the knife step by step, and it hurts in my heart. I heard my aunt say that I could rest, and I all breathed out and relaxed.
My aunt said, "Adjust your breathing and be quieter when you gasp." She was thinking that there might be a great cultivator here, so she was polite, she walked in front and heard the sound of breathing behind her, it was really difficult to hold back and not admonish, so rude, what kind of manners.
Wang Ronghe swore that she heard the sound of the whole king holding his breath behind her, although it was a little out of place, she wanted to laugh a little.
The first time the show girl met the queen mother, a group of twenty people, entered the Cining Palace in turn, the queen mother of the two palaces sat high, the show girl knelt down and saluted, and then raised her head in turn to state her name, age, and place of origin. If the queen mother is interested, she will pick someone to ask, if she has nothing to say, then one person will reward a palace water red silk yarn and come out.
Walked for a small hour, stood in Cining Palace and waited for an hour, but only a quarter of an hour into the palace and out of the hall, no one felt wrong, on the way back Wang Ronghe looked up at this small blue sky framed by the long palace road.
In the palace, every day I feel how cheap the lives of the people at the bottom are.
There was the sound of the little eunuch beating the bangzi in front of her, and the aunt listened attentively for a while, then raised her hand to signal to stop, "All one step against the wall, and let Concubine Guo's sedan chair current." ”
The show girls all lowered their heads, standing against the side wall, the sound of bangzi sounded, the first four eunuchs opened the way, the four people carried the sedan chair, and four palace maids stood on the side, and there were two eunuchs behind the formation, and the pomp was not majestic. Sitting on the top of the sedan chair, hanging a gauze tent, hanging bells and jingling bells all around, the fragrant wind hits people, and the people sitting in it only see a slender posture, and they can't see their faces clearly.
The sedan chair stopped when it passed by the show girl, and Guo Concubine said to her aunt, "This is the show girl this time?" I don't see any beauty, do you? "The voice is delicate and soft, as if it can penetrate into the hearts of people and roll, but the words spoken are not very pleasant.
"It's good to learn the rules, and since you can't serve people with sex, then you can learn to be virtuous and virtuous." Concubine Guo chuckled and waved her hand, and the sedan chair continued to move forward.
The show girl's mind is ever-changing, and her aunt doesn't say anything else, just go straight. Whether Concubine Guo came to inquire or demonstrate, it wasn't for her, the palace maid, to be a gimmick. As for whether the show girls were frightened or secretly unconvinced, it was also their own nature.
Back to Chuxiu Palace, everyone walked around to inquire if anyone was favored by the Queen Mother today, and they wanted to discuss what the origin of this Guo Concubine was today. However, this busyness has nothing to do with Wang Rongyu. She sat back in a chair with her hands on her head and soaked her feet, her face tired, "Why do you have to soak your feet every day?" Yang Jingru leaned on the kang table and asked.
"Soak your feet to relieve fatigue, and you can sleep more peacefully at night." Wang Ronghe said. A pair of white feet were soaked in a brass basin, and the later foot soaking water had a faint medicinal smell, and Xi Tao said that she went to the pharmacy to ask for it, "The slave asked the medicine boy, this is the best medicine powder to relieve fatigue and calm the nerves." Wang Ronghe had to ask if the silver was enough, Xi Tao said with a smile, the silver in the palace is not as expensive as the girl thought.
Yang Jingru looked at her feet, which were a pair of white and small feet, the instep, arch, soles, and toes were naturally stretched, and they were puffed by the hot water puff at the moment, and the nails were shining like rice pearls, "Your feet are so beautiful." ”
"Huh?" Wang Ronghe was puzzled, she subconsciously looked at Yang Jingru's feet, her skirt was covered and she couldn't see her feet clearly, but Wang Ronghe recalled the shoes that Yang Jingru put on the side of the bed that she saw in the morning, the golden arch, and Yang Jingru's feet were wrapped.
"The three-inch golden lotus is beautiful, but I have thick benzene feet. My mother went early, and everyone in the family loved me, and they refused to wrap their feet when they cried and made trouble, so they went with me. Wang Ronghe said that of course she thought that the three-inch golden lotus was beautiful, it was purely a man's perverted aesthetics, but it made women suffer for a lifetime. But now the mainstream view is that Jin Lian is good-looking, Wang Rong and himself are Tianzu, since only the little feet laugh at the big feet, and there are no big feet to educate the little feet in turn.
"You don't think your feet are ugly." Yang Jingru said, "You are not the only one among the show girls who has never wrapped her feet, but have you ever seen anyone who soaks her feet every day besides you?" ”
Wang Ronghe looked at her.
"We who have wrapped our little feet will never show our feet in front of people, and the other Tianzu feel that they have never wrapped their feet, and they are a little ashamed, and they are also unwilling to show their feet in public, for fear of being ridiculed. Only you have to soak your feet in hot water every day. Yang Jingru said.
"I offended you?" Wang Ronghe asked.
Yang Jingru shook her head, she looked at Wang Ronghe's feet, "I envy you, your feet are so beautiful." ”
"In the future, I have a daughter, and I must not let her bind her feet." Yang Jingru said. "A small-footed woman marries a showman, and she is comfortable with brocade clothes and jade food, while a big-footed woman marries a slave and is uncomfortable with hard work. It is said that the emperor's daughter is not worried about getting married, even if she has a pair of heavenly feet, she can be at ease with fine clothes and jade food. ”
