Volume 2 The Second Drum Watch: The Spring of the Teaching Workshop is Deep, and the Wind and the Moon are Strong Chapter 116 Jumping into the upper three halls
??????? Cui Niang arrived at Xiao Tao's room, she didn't know how to say to Xiao Tao, she helped Xiao Tao's collar for a while, and said with a wry smile: "I don't have the ability to keep you." ”
Xiao Tao had already heard rumors in the afternoon that she was going to be transferred to the third hall. But not happy. Although they all said that the last three halls were cleaner, Cui Niang here was a good talker. Many things can be said about the conditions by themselves, such as wanting to go out and hanging a sign, Cui Niang has relied on herself. Honggu 222 Xiao Tao, who can go to the third hall, thought of the second lady being licked by the cat that night, and she was trembling.
If you want to say that the only advantage of going to the third class is to be able to meet the eldest lady. After all, the master and servant are here, and now that they have fallen here, there is still some warmth in the heart of the eldest lady Xiao Tao.
Xiao Tao tugged Cui Niang's arm: "I'll come back to see you." ”
Cui Niang patted Xiao Tao: "Okay, hurry up and pack your things." Honggu is strict there, you have to be more careful when you go. Don't be tough. If you have any difficulties, you can find me, even if I can't help much, I can be accommodating. ”
Xiao Tao was also a little sentimental, looking at Cui Niang's eyes a little red.
Cui Niang smiled: "Why is it like this, going to the third hall is considered a high promotion." It's a good thing. The guests there are more status-oriented and sophisticated. Go ahead! He walked out quickly. But I was still a little sad in my heart.
Xiao Tao packed up her things, Cui Niang gave her the box of incense pills, she thought about it and took it. Since Cui Niang said it was a good thing, let's take it first.
Early the next morning, Shangsantang had already sent someone to pick it up. Xiao Tao simply carried a burden. Say goodbye to Ruosu. Yun Niang glanced at her and turned around. Xiao Tao didn't say anything, and followed the next person to the upper third hall.
The upper three halls are divided into Yichun Hall, Huichun Hall, and Dianchun Hall, and different accommodations are arranged according to the identities of the girls. The girls of Yichun Hall are the most noble, and Huichun Hall is second, but most of them are Qing people? Most of the girls in Dianchun Hall are newcomers. Xiao Tao was arranged in Dianchun Hall. It is the northernmost room of Dianchun Hall, and it is just across two corridors from the eldest lady's room, and you can see each other.
As soon as Xiao Tao opened the window, she saw the eldest lady playing the pipa on the other side. I couldn't help but feel warm in my heart, and shouted at the eldest lady: "Miss." ”
He Zhitang saw Xiao Tao, smiled slightly, put down the pipa, and walked around the porch. Xiao Tao looked at the eldest lady's posture from a distance, but she hadn't seen her for a month, and the eldest lady's walking posture had changed a lot, and she was even more graceful.
He Zhitang arrived at the door of Xiao Tao, Xiao Tao bent his knees and wanted to worship, He Zhitang hurriedly raised his hand to help Xiao Tao up: "Now in this place, you and I are the same." Don't do any more of these false courtesies. As he spoke, he pulled Xiao Tao to sit down and asked, "Is Yun Niang okay?" What about Ruosu? ”
Xiao Tao replied one by one. The eldest lady in front of her was as gentle and polite as when she first served, and Xiao Tao couldn't help but get closer to He Zhitang.
He Zhitang looked at the burden brought by Xiao Tao, it was very simple, a pair of shoes, two clothes, and a box. I couldn't help but reach out and open the box, the pills inside were moist, and there was a faint fragrance.
Xiao Tao blushed and stammered: "This is given by Cui Niang, that, contraception 222"
He Zhitang's heart froze, she really needed contraception. However, this pill is not unusual, and Honggu also gives it to them, as an official prostitute, which one does not need this. It's just that it doesn't seem to be the same as his own, He Zhitang picked it up and smelled it, and it did taste different.
Honggu can't wait to find someone to pass it on, she wants to see what the legendary Yaoyue is like. Xiao Tao said goodbye to He Zhitang and followed the next person into Honggu's room.
Xiao Tao is much whiter now, and she is like a sick person when she first came from the workshop. Honggu had no impression of seeing her at all, but felt that the appearance of the woman in front of her was indeed beautiful. That smell makes people feel sorry for me.
Honggu, who has been rolling in the men's pile for a long time, naturally knows that although Xiao Tao can't be regarded as glamorous yet, training and training is a good material. He pointed to the pen and paper on the side and said, "Write a few words and see." ”
Xiao Tao picked up the pen, looked at Honggu and looked a little nervous, and there was a lack of strength under her hands, so she wrote two sentences at random. Honggu didn't know how to read, so the gentleman from Huayuefang looked at it, and only said that it was okay, and it didn't shine too much. Exhaust the garbage on the island.
Honggu frowned, it turned out to be an exaggeration. Let her try to dance a few times, most of Xiao Tao's dances are practiced with her mother, and the dancing is not as smooth as the writing. Suddenly, I remembered that there were still shoes given by my mother in the baggage, and I still took them with me when I was escorted to the workshop, so Xiao Tao hurriedly went back to the room to change her shoes.
After a few moves, Honggu didn't have a good impression of Xiao Tao's dance, it can only show that she has learned, and she will take a few clicks, what attracted Honggu's attention was Xiao Tao's feet, so she didn't feel small, why did she suddenly become smaller? I couldn't help asking: "Your feet are born so small?" ”
Xiao Tao shook her head: "It's just softer, and it looks smaller after wrapping your feet." ”
Honggu couldn't help but hook her lips and smile: "It's hard for you to think of this." It's just that the dancing skills are a little worse. Follow the master and then study hard. If you want to be supported by an official, your dancing skills must be passed. ”
After speaking, a dancer named Yazhu was arranged to take Xiao Tao to practice, and by the way, Xiao Tao was renamed Water Lotus. Xiao Tao said casually: "My name is Xiao Tao, can I continue to call it?" "Anyway, it's all flower names, and this water lotus is too ugly.
Honggu sneered: "When you become a popular girl in the future, or an Oiran Huayan, then tell me about changing your name." "Honggu hates that her authority is challenged.
Xiao Tao was busy silencing and went out with Yazhu.
When it comes to the lunar month, Jinling City is also preparing for the New Year. Huayuefang has changed to a new peach charm, and prepared Tusu wine and various pastries to eat. The training of the girls is also more rigorous. Because the first month of the year is a day of eating, drinking and having fun, it is naturally the best time of the year for business in Huayuefang. He Zhitang's pipa was so practiced that his fingertips were bleeding.
It's different here from Hefu, and if you don't dance well in Hefu, it's a big deal to count a few words. If she didn't jump well here, the whip would come up, and Xiao Tao had to grit her teeth and practice. The words are average, the dance is not good, Honggu is so easy to come and can't go back, so she has to train Xiao Tao ruthlessly, and her subordinates are merciless. Xiao Tao's feet were bloody and soaked in a few days, but she still stood on the field every day to split her legs and lower waist and throw her shoulders for various high-intensity training. Fortunately, Xiao Tao's dancing skills have also improved.
The siege of Chuzhou lasted for a long time, and Zhang Yanqing, who defended the city, took 50,000 soldiers and horses, and many of the local people of Chuzhou also joined the defense and vowed not to surrender.
As the New Year approached, the Zhou Emperor Chai Rong ordered a three-day rectification before launching an offensive after Chinese New Year's Eve. On the twenty-eighth day of the lunar month, Li Ying, the envoy of the Qianzhou Festival, took his family to meet the emperor Chai Rong. Knowing that the soldiers were fighting hard, they specially brought several cartloads of fresh meat and vegetables, along with grain and grass, and rushed to the camp of the Zhou army outside Chuzhou City.
Chai Rong was very happy in his heart, the grain and grass at this time was undoubtedly a charcoal in the snow. Li Ying's sycophant is exactly the same as the festival. Chai Rong specially set up a banquet in the army, first, to entertain Li Ying, and secondly, to let the soldiers of the whole army relax and rest.
Zhao Kuangyin heard Li Ying's arrival, and his heart was also stretched a lot, he had heard that Li Ying's daughter Li Yue'e was the first beauty in Qianzhou, so bright and beautiful, this time it was just for Kuang Yi to match, since he didn't like Fu Xuechan, Miss Li could always let him look at it. Don't think about a maid all day long and be embarrassed.
