Chapter 1 Bow your head and smell the green plum 9
"Qiaohui, what do you say I should give to Wen Kegege?" I thought about it, and I didn't think about what to send for a long time. This girl has always been clever and has a lot of ghost ideas, so she may be able to come up with a good idea after discussing with her.
"Gege, what you can send, what you can give in this house, I think there are all in the palace, and Wen Kege can't look down on it." I'm not mistaken, Qiaohui is indeed very smart, and it is rare to be able to understand these at a young age. "Gege, think to the slave, if you want to send it, you can send it to what is not available in the palace. This is rare and precious enough. I saw that her eyes lit up, and she lifted the quilt and jumped out of bed.
"Why are you going?" I hurriedly grabbed her, in the middle of the night, I was really afraid that she would wake up others.
"Slave and maid, go and prepare a return gift for Gege." With that, she ran to the outhouse as soon as she smoked.
I thought to myself, what the hell did she have in mind. I, a big-headed commoner, what can I give that is not available in the palace?
It didn't take long for Qiaohui's girl to lift the curtain and come back. There was an extra lamp in his hand, and a small basket of exquisite workmanship in the other.
"Gege, the slave can't sleep when you see it, it's better for the slave to teach you to be a female celebrity."
She turned around and placed everything in her hand on the table. I got up and walked over. I saw that the delicate basket was full of colorful silk threads, all kinds of bandages, and some white silk handkerchiefs. It turned out that this little girl wanted me to embroider a handkerchief for Wen Kegege as a gift. However, the courtesy is light, and the two objects are hands-on, so they are equivalent.
But, how can I be these needlework women? Isn't that my life? It turns out that when I was studying, I only got cross-stitch or something, and those things are honestly not technical, and ancient embroidery is not the same as it. What's more, most of those cross-stitches, I gave up halfway, and I didn't have a finished product at all, but now I want to learn to trace embroidery, God! I'm going to die this time.
I was in trouble and muttering. Xiao Nizi probably saw my thoughts, and actually giggled on the side. "Gege, don't worry, the slave knows that you won't be popular."
"Huh?" I snorted inadvertently, knowing that I wouldn't, Qiaohui, this girl still asked me to send this, what is her intention? Isn't this deliberately making a fool of me, the master?
"Everyone in Beijing Sijiu City knows that the Shangshu family of the Ministry of War has a character who can recite poetry and be good at painting, but our Fujin has never taught her the slightest bit of needlework." As she spoke, Qiaohui stretched the white silk on the bandage and stuffed it into me. "Gege, think about it, if you learn needlework for Wen Kegege, this friendship is priceless, can Gege not be happy in his heart?" Look at what this girl Qiaohui can do, her face will only shine, crackling and flashing, I don't think I can praise her.
"Okay! Just because of your cleverness, I also learned this needlework female red master. I smiled and pinched her little face, and my heart was full of joy.
It's good to think of one more craft, anyway, we don't have more skills, it's always good to have more skills in this place to defend yourself.
After more than half a month of hard work, I finally completed the first piece of female red in my life, although the embroidery technique can not reach the level of Wen Kegege in any case, but, with the help of the aunts and grandmothers attached to the middle school, my gift is still lying in the box.
The first day, Eniang sent someone to hand over the name card to the palace, and just after noon, the little eunuch in the palace came to the house.
Because it is the relationship between Aunt Su Mala's adopted daughter, as long as I want to enter the palace and hand over the post, it doesn't take much effort.
The guards at the gate of the palace saw that it was the daughter of the Marhan family who was going to enter the palace, and they all understood what was going on, and they never embarrassed me, but just searched according to the rules briefly, and then let us in.
As soon as I stepped into the palace gate, I saw the little eunuch who had guided me last time. I vaguely remember that his name was Tian Xi, but I can't remember what his surname was. Come to think of it, he must be the person next to Su Malagu, otherwise he wouldn't always come. In this labyrinthine palace, if there is really no one to guide the way, I'm afraid I really won't be able to find the north.
Seeing Tim Xi approaching, I was slightly blessed, "I'm going to bother my father-in-law to lead the way again." "Although, he came on orders, but in the end I am just a commoner, and some rules are absurd.
"You are a nobleman, how can this be done? The girl will come with me. He smiled at me, turned and stepped to my side.
I nodded heartily, didn't say anything more, and slowly followed him, walked through the long corridor, and walked in the direction of Tianxin Nunnery.
At the corner of the corridor, I met Amma, who was about to leave the palace after running an errand.
"Daughter greets Amma!" I threw my silk and saluted. On weekdays, at home, it is natural that I will not make such a big ceremony, but as I said before, this is the palace, and there are some rules that cannot be ignored.
The little eunuch Tian Xi on the side also gave Ama a big gift, "The slave has seen Master Shangshu, Master Fahai." “
"Get up." Amma's kind voice remembered, and then she stretched out her big hand to pull me up.
When I looked up, I met his eyes, full of doting looks. I hadn't been with my parents for many years, and I was instantly moved.
"This is the little Gege of Master Shangshu's family!" I smiled and looked to the side. Only then did he realize that there was a young man who was too thin standing next to Amma. He was very tall, and I had to look up at him, but he looked very thin, and he didn't have the feeling of being strong in the north, much like those Jiangnan inkmen in my impression. I just heard Tian Xi call him a master, compared to him, he should be the mentor of the brothers in the South Study. Such a profession can match his appearance and temperament. "I didn't expect Gege to be so big! is generous and decent, worthy of being the daughter of Zhaojia's family, it is really extraordinary. “
Ama was naturally very happy when she heard this, but she still looked so modest, and hurriedly said, "How can the little girl be as good as Master Fahai said!" But the little girl is just learning some basic manners, and when she is at home, she is also very naughty. He twisted his beard and smiled smugly, "Ying'er, why don't you salute Master Fahai soon?" He is the master of the emperors and elder brothers, and he is a man of great wisdom. ”
After coming to ancient times for a long time, you will find that saluting or something is simply commonplace, and if you do more, you will become proficient. I saluted Fahai, "Zhaojia Shaoying asks Master Fahai!" ”
"Excuse me, excuse me!" Fahai hurriedly grabbed me, and while not forgetting to smile and turn back to talk to Amma, "Lord Shangshu, your daughter is really a baby!" Good looks, good temperament, and so sensible, but unfortunately, I don't have a son, otherwise, I will propose to your family now. ”
"Master Fahai, you're laughing. Even if you want to propose, I don't dare to do it. This girl has not yet been elected, the ancestors have rules, how dare I specialize? The proud smile on his father's face slowly spread, and it could be seen that in his heart, Shao Ying was a capital worth showing off.
There are many rules in the Qing Dynasty, one of which is that all 14-year-old flag people must participate in the triennial draft, only the angry daughter who has left the brand, can go home and marry on her own. I'm now Marhan's daughter, and this draft girl is naturally going to pass.
"With Ling Ai's appearance and intelligence, as well as the emperor's attention to adults and the entire Zhaojia family, he can't keep it, and Gege will also be a small master in the future." Fahai is quite a discerning person, and at a glance, he knows that Zhaojia's is by no means a thing in the pool, and his future actions are immeasurable. "Gege carved a school at home?"
"I know a few words." Although Zhaojia Shaoying is different from ordinary people, and the Manchurians don't talk about the pedantic style of the Han people, but since ancient times, there has been a saying that a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, so I am better to be modest and cautious.
"Based on this sentence alone, you can know that Gege has read a lot of books and is full of wealth!" Fahai squinted his eyes ambiguously and laughed, and when he turned to speak to Amma, he didn't forget to look me up and down with his afterglow, "Lord Shangshu, Ling Ai will definitely be the number one person in the future." Congratulations! ”
I smiled shyly, gladly accepted Fahai's praise, and said no more, but I had a clearer understanding of my fate in my heart. Since I can't go back, why not make good use of my talents and show my strength on the stage of history?
