Chapter 008: People Want Clothes
Lan'er led the way, and turned her head to Xue Lengyu and said, "You don't have to be so restrained, our princess is different from other masters." She is kind, she never beats or scolds our subordinates, and she rarely loses her temper. As long as you are well-behaved, the princess will not embarrass you. ”
"Leng Yu hasn't seen any scenes, so I ask Sister Lan'er to mention more." Xue Lengyu still said respectfully.
The county officials might as well be in charge now, if they don't make the group of girls around the princess happy, even if the princess looks at herself well, she won't have a good life.
What's more, it's better to be cautious when you're new to the city. If you do something carelessly and you are punished, the sin is not worth it. Xue Lengyu is a modern person after all, although he does not have such deep scheming, he will never be a blank slate.
Lan'er smiled: "Just call me Lan'er, what sister is not sister." In this royal palace, we are all of the same size. are all in the princess's house, and it is indispensable to support each other in the future, so don't be so rusty. ”
Seeing that Lan'er has already said this, if Xue Lengyu sees him again, it seems that he thinks of himself as high and looks down on others. He also smiled and said, "Since you say so, then I am relieved." To be honest, I just wanted to be a rough maid in the palace to subsidize the family, but I was sent to the princess's house. I was still worried that I would get into trouble if I was clumsy. But seeing Lan'er, you are so peaceful and close, I really feel that my good luck for more than ten years has come out today. ”
Lan'er saw that Xue Lengyu didn't say anything, and said a long list as soon as she said it, and her heart turned out to be a bold and direct girl, but she was quiet when she got to a new place. And such a person is the most scheming, and he couldn't help but laugh again: "I saw you so restrained just now, and I was worried that it would be a dull temperament, and it would be inevitable that my sisters would be boring in the future." Listening to your mouth, I am relieved. ”
Xue Lengyu thought about it, but still asked the right question, so he smiled and said: "Lan'er, I haven't been out much before, and now that I have entered the palace, I don't know what to do, what are the taboos, etc., you can tell me carefully." lest I do anything wrong. ”
Lan'er pushed the door and said without thinking: "Actually, we don't have much to do. is to follow the princess on weekdays, serving tea and pouring water, and you pinch your waist and beat your legs. Talk to the princess to relieve her boredom. If the princess needs anything, she will pass it on. As for the preparations, naturally there is someone in charge who is responsible. ”
That's nothing, Xue Lengyu said, "Do you have a holiday?" ”
"Vacation?" Lan'er didn't understand.
"It's just rest." Xue Lengyu said: "For example, if the two of them work in shifts for a day, the others will rest like this." ”
Lan'er looked at Xue Lengyu like a fantasy, covered her mouth and smiled: "Don't talk about this in the future, how can there be anything...... What a rotation. Even if there is nothing to do, we all follow the princess and serve her food and daily life. ”
Xue Lengyu hurriedly said: "I know, I just don't understand, so I just ask." ”
Lan'er said kindly: "If you don't understand anything, just ask us directly, don't dare to talk nonsense outside."
"I see." Xue Lengyu said, "Thank you Lan'er for your advice." ”
While speaking, Lan'er had already led Xue Lengyu into the house, opened the cabinet in the room, picked out a light purple robe from it, turned her head to Xue Lengyu and said, "Come and see, do you like this dress?" In response to your urgency, there is no new one. Although this is my old one, but I don't wear it hard, if you don't dislike it, just try it. Tomorrow let the tailor come in, measure you, and make a new one. ”
"No, no, no." Xue Lengyu hurriedly waved his hand: "That's good." I'm just a maid, where I need to make clothes. ”
"But you are a maid in the princess's house." Lan'er said: "Our walking and coming in the house represents the face of the princess. If we wear tattered clothes, then the princess will also lose face. ”
"I see." Xue Lengyu heard Lan'er say this, so she naturally could say something more, so she honestly took the clothes in Lan'er's hand and walked behind the screen to change. Fortunately, when I was at home, I had carefully studied how to wear this layer of clothes, otherwise it would be ugly.
The aristocratic lady who comes to eat and stretch out her hand will not even know how to wear clothes.
After changing her clothes, Lan'er re-lost her hair bun for her, took a jade hairpin and put it on for her, and smeared some fat powder a little, and then looked at it carefully.
Xue Lengyu was a little embarrassed under Lan'er's gaze, this was just a maid in the palace, how could it be like going to a beauty pageant.
Lan'er took Xue Lengyu's hand and turned around, and said with a smile: "Sure enough, it's the national color and heavenly fragrance, Leng Yu, if you dress up carefully, it will be much more beautiful than many ladies in the palace." ”
Xue Lengyu was taken aback, this Lan'er should have been in the palace for a few days, she should know what she can and can't say, this kind of thing feels like a big rebellion, how can she say it.
"Lan'er." Xue Lengyu looked left and right, but fortunately there was no one else around, so he whispered: "You can't say this kind of thing." ”
Lan'er saw that Xue Lengyu was so nervous, but smiled: "Don't be afraid, this is what we say in private, it's okay." Besides, the princess is a tolerant person, otherwise she wouldn't have shown such an appreciative expression to you just now. ”
Speaking of the princess's expression, Xue Lengyu had a mystery in her heart that she was unhappy with, and simply asked, "Lan'er, I have something I have in my heart and want to ask you." ”
"Just say it." Lan'er said.
Xue Lengyu said: "When I saw the princess just now, she asked me if I was literate or something, and then she seemed to be very satisfied with my answer. But, Lan'er, I said something that shouldn't be said, isn't it a woman who is not talented or virtuous in this era? We are subordinates, and we will serve people, and the princess needs me to know what to do? ”
Lan'er was stunned for a moment, and said with some hesitation: "We are women, naturally not based on talent, but because of this, talent is rare." The princess is a person who loves talents, and knowing that your family is poor but can be self-taught, she naturally pities it even more. Besides, several of us have been in the house since we were children, and we haven't had the opportunity to learn literacy, and now that you're here, it's not a bad thing for the princess's house. ”
This is in the past, Xue Lengyu didn't think much about it, and nodded.
"Let's go, go and show the princess." Lan'er took Xue Lengyu's hand and walked out.
Xue Lengyu couldn't, although she couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive in her heart, so she had to follow Lan'er into the princess's room again.
