Chapter 9: Re-entering the Palace [Part I]
In order not to delay time, Ama specially invited a grandmother to teach me the rules of the palace the next day, and I finally learned after many days of teaching, there are too many rules in the palace, the light and the head, the pause, the empty head, the vibration, the auspicious worship, the fierce worship, I studied for a full thirteen days, but I still can't move as skillfully as the grandmother.
This night, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15, the night of the full moon, for me there is a different feeling, the round stone table is very sweet fruits and all kinds of moon cakes, withered yellow and flying leaves, just fell on it,
It's night, the bright full moon, hanging silently in the sky, making people think about it, after finishing the meal and accompanying Ama Eniang to enjoy the moon for a while, I went back to the room with Qiu Yan to clean up things, even if there are a few lights in the house, I also feel dark, but this is ancient times after all, there is no very bright light, and I didn't take anything when I went out of the palace, when they helped me clean up my things, I couldn't help yawning, with a little tiredness said: "Qiu Yan, pick butterflies, I have been busy for two days, you two go back to rest!" ”
Hearing this, Cai Die, who helped me make the bed on the side of the couch, seemed to raise her eyes to look at Qiu Yan, who was cleaning up the accessories, shook her head and said, "Sister, we are not tired." ”
"Oops! You are like this every day, go wash and sleep, or you won't be pretty! With that, I solemnly snatched the things from their hands and pushed them out of the door, "Good job! He stretched out his finger and scratched their noses, and they smiled slightly, and had no choice but to go back.
"Si'er, can you sleep?" Not long after Qiu Yan and Cai Die left, E-Niang came in, with a woman behind her, "E-Niang," Seeing E-Niang come in, I smiled slightly, and owed a debt, "Ming'er, you're leaving!" E-Niang has something to say to you now. I nodded and welcomed her to the chair.
She pursed her lips, as if she didn't know what to say, seeing this, I smiled and preemptively said: "Eniang, I know what you want to say," I squatted on the ground, gently stroked her hand, and instantly felt the liquid flow out of my eyes, "Don't worry, Eniang, my daughter will be fine." "Although I have only been with her for half a month, I have also cultivated feelings, and now the person I am most reluctant to do is the woman in front of me who really loves me.
She pointed to the maidservant next to her, "There is nothing lacking in the palace, and E-Niang will no longer give you any valuable items, so E-Niang will assign Lingruo to you, let her enter the palace with you, and take care of your daily life." As soon as Eniang's words fell, the maid behind her consciously came to me and saluted: "Lingruo has seen Miss." I was speechless for a while, didn't speak, but still nodded gently, E-Niang pursed her lips and smiled, and took off the jade bracelet on her wrist, "This bracelet was given to me by your grandmother when I married you Amma, and I have been with me for most of my life, and now I will give it to you!" ”
Take a closer look, this bracelet germplasm is delicate and transparent, the color is bright and pure, the shape is light, the material is thick, it is a high-grade jadeite, "Don't, you have already said, it has been with you for most of your life, and this is the thing of Dong E's family, although I am the eldest daughter of Dong E's family, but I want to enter the palace after all, so you still keep this, and wait for Feiyang's ancient daughter-in-law to enter the door in the future, and you will give it to her." When Eniang wanted to put the bracelet on me, I stopped her, and tried to persuade her, she was stunned for a moment, then nodded, put away the jade bracelet, Eniang has given me a pair of bracelets made of gold and jade, inlaid with gold and jade bracelets, I heard that in the marriage of the Qing Dynasty magnates, the mother will generally give the daughter to marry a pair of bracelets, meaning to wish her daughter a happy marriage, out of the pair, and beauty to the end, but also means that the daughter married the husband is a gentle and elegant gentleman, and chatted for a while, Eniang went out, her concerns I have understood! It can't be done anymore! After sending Lingruo to sleep, I also fell into a deep sleep with mixed feelings.
The next day, I was served by Qiu Yan and Lingruo and put on a standard show girl's dress, a water blue carved silk butterfly pattern soft satin flag suit, three thousand ink green silk was twisted into a small two, a hosta was inserted on the left, the right hairpin was covered with blue silk flowers, the chrysanthemum flag head was fixed in the middle of the hair, the pearl ear chain was worn on the earlobe, and a pair of water blue embroidered shoes were stepped on the feet, looking at the girl in the mirror slim and elegant, bright eyes and bright teeth, in order to cover up the weak face, and lightly applied powder, after the makeup was finished, he left the room without looking back, and walked towards the main hall, The garden of Dong Efu is very large, there are yellow leaves everywhere, the fragrance of chrysanthemums slowly wafts into my nose, the dead leaves on the trees slowly fall, the scenery is beautiful, very beautiful, maybe this world is so magical.
I know that the sedan chair is waiting outside, and it may be urged at any time, so if there is anything to say, I have to say it quickly.
At the moment of entering the main hall, I raised my head gently and looked at them, but Ama Eniang's face was smiling, the more they were like this, the more I felt guilty, and I knelt down with a plop, "Amma, Eniang, my daughter is not filial, please take care of yourself!" ”
"Lingruo, Fuge up." With Amma's words, Lingruo, who was behind me, wanted to help me, but was stopped by Qiu Yan Caidie beside him, Lingruo seemed to be stunned and stopped his movements.
I continued to kneel on the ground, weeping and tears flowing, seeing this Eniang get up from the chair, strolling over, helping me up, wiping my face with a handkerchief, "I am deceived in the palace, Eniang does not ask you to be popular, but I ask you to spend your life safely!" With these words, I opened my arms, hugged Eniang and nodded vigorously, don't worry! E-Niang, Si'er will be safe, although she didn't say it, but E-Niang will understand.
After saying goodbye, I got into the carriage, I didn't let Ama Eniang come out, because I was afraid that I couldn't control my tears, but Ama still asked Feiyangu to come out to see me, at first the car was quiet, but with Qiu Yan Caidie and Lingruo three people came up and lively, the three of them were talking together, I listened to it next to me and was happy, when the carriage with gifts behind was ready, the car moved, the sound of "da-da" made me a little curious, reached out to open the curtain to see, it was the sound from below, I suddenly realized, it turned out to be a horse's hoof, It just so happened that Feiyangu looked at me, and I also saw him, he raised his lips and said, "Take care of yourself, I will take care of Ama and Eniang." With these words, I smiled faintly, nodded and looked at him very gratefully, no matter what, he is Si'er's younger brother, my relative in this time and space, the carriage gradually walked, and his eyes slowly moved, goodbye to the Minister of the Interior, Dong Efu, goodbye Ama Eniang, and the younger brother Feiyangu who has not called me a sister so far.
