Chapter 447: Rules
Last night, there was a light rain in the capital of Jingzhou, and there was a hint of sweetness in the air today.
Ning Qingxi was standing under the pavilion in the courtyard, quietly in a daze, interrupted by the hurried footsteps of his subordinates.
followed the corridor pavilion to the front hall, and happened to see Wang Xiujuan reading something.
Ning Qingxi looked at it and found that it was an invitation letter.
She walked up to her and asked, "Milk, what's the invitation?" Has anyone invited us to any banquet?"
Since moving to the capital of Jingzhou, there have been many big and small banquets, and their families who can refuse are generally refused, unless it is an invitation from the palace.
After reading the invitation, Wang Xiujuan said to the housekeeper who was waiting on the side, "Find an excuse to help me refuse."
The other party nodded, took the invitation, and respectfully withdrew.
After the others left, Wang Xiujuan said to Ning Qingxi, who was sitting lazily, "It's a hundred fruit feast."
Ning Qingxi said curiously, "What does the Hundred Fruit Garden mean is that there are a lot of fruits at the banquet, and people are specially invited to eat the fruits?"
Wang Xiujuan nodded, almost that's what it meant.
Ning Qingxi said speechlessly, "This is also going to be a banquet?" Thinking about it, I understand that in ancient times, resources were poor, and it was also a kind of ability to gather so many fruits.
Looking at her granddaughter sitting or not standing or not, "Soon you will be fourteen years old, fifteen years old."
Ning Qingxi took a bite of the pastry on the table and asked strangely, "What's wrong?" It's good to talk about what she does at her age.
The age Wang Xiujuan said was the original age of Ning Qingxi's body.
Since coming to ancient times, Ning Qingxi has never had a birthday, mainly because he is busy settling down and has no time to think about it.
Ning Changrong and Wang Xiujuan are the same.
"Fifteen years old for a girl here is the year of marriage." Wang Xiujuan said softly, "Although Grandma won't start talking about your relatives so early, you still have to learn some of the rules you should learn first."
After Ning Qingxi heard this, it was like a bolt from the blue, and he couldn't even eat the pastries on his lips.
She stumbled, pointed at herself at a loss, and said, "Isn't it? Milk, you, do you mean to let me learn the etiquette after marriage?"
Wang Xiujuan patted her arm gently, "What do you think about? Of course not."
Ning Qingxi breathed a sigh of relief, and patted his chest lightly with his hand, "I'm scared to death."
Wang Xiujuan said: "But the way this fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl gets along with other girls in this place is different after all, we don't have to go back, but we still have to learn the rules."
"It's not the same thing as not doing it, at least you have to know it."
Seeing Ning Qingxi's sad face, Wang Xiujuan said again:
"Ordinary banquets like this can be pushed off, but can you push off the banquet in the palace? Every time you go, you worry about what you bump into, but when you learn the etiquette, you don't have to worry about that."
"Milk, this is also for your good, those people outside dare not say it in front of you, it doesn't mean that people are not talking about it behind your back, you have to learn it."
"In the past, you were young, and everyone didn't care much about it, but in the future, Da'an will become more and more stable, and your age will gradually grow up, and there will be more people who pick on your thorns."
Ning Qingxi is not really only fourteen years old after all, but he also understands Wang Xiujuan's hard work.
Unexpectedly, she gloated and Fu Anshu had to learn the rules in the palace, and it didn't take long for her turn.
Ning Qingxi let out a long sigh and wailed, "Milk."
Wang Xiujuan didn't want to toss her granddaughter, but they had to abide by the rules of whatever place they were, and to put it mildly, even the emperor couldn't do what he wanted.
Wang Xiujuan touched Ning Qingxi's head soothingly, "Okay, let's not learn much, just learn enough."
Ning Qingxi reluctantly compromised, "Okay." Otherwise, what can you do.
Wang Xiujuan's action is very strong, mainly because she is afraid that Ning Qingxi will regret it, so she went to the palace to find Fu Linjun the next day, and asked for a grandmother who taught rules in the palace.
came with the grandmother who called the rules, and Fu Anshu who came to laugh at Ning Qingxi.
Ning Qingxi was learning the rules on the side, and he couldn't help but learn it, so Fu Anshu sat next to him drinking tea and watching the play.
From time to time, he also laughed at Ning Qingxi for a few words.
"Tsk, you see your head is moving, you can't move your head when you walk."
"Hey, and don't mess around with your hands."
"You're not setting the right refreshment."
Ning Qingxi took a deep breath and endured it again and again.
Ning Changrong caught up with the twice-a-month Xiu Mu, and happened to see an old woman invited by Wang Xiujuan to the palace who was teaching his daughter the rules in the backyard.
There is also a letter of schadenfreude and twittering Fu An next to him.
He came to the backyard, and the three of them happened to see him.
The old lady who taught the rules hurriedly saluted Ning Changrong, and Ning Qingxi and Fu Anshu also said hello to Ning Changrong.
"What is this doing?" Ning Changrong walked in and asked.
Ning Qingxi took the initiative to reply: "This is Mama Lin, my grandmother went to the palace to find the queen mother and invited her, and specially taught me some rules."
Ning Changrong raised his eyebrows, sat next to him, and motioned for them to continue, not to care about himself.
Sitting on the stool next to him, he watched Ning Changrong for a while before getting up.
asked the next person and found Wang Xiujuan.
Wang Xiujuan was still checking the accounts in the study, and when she heard the footsteps at the door, she said without raising her head, "Why do you have time to wander around at home today?"
didn't wait for the other party to answer, she took care of herself and continued: "Come to remember, today seems to be your day of cultivation."
Ning Changrong walked over to Wang Xiujuan and sat down, "Mother, haven't you finished checking this account book?"
Wang Xiujuan shook her head and said, "Soon, I can finish it today."
Ning Changrong took the initiative to take the account book, "That's it, I'll help you together, the two of you are faster."
Wang Xiujuan didn't refuse, and the mother and son were busy in the study for more than an hour, and finally sorted out all the remaining account books.
"By the way, let me tell you, I went to the palace a few days ago and told the queen mother, and in the future, we will be responsible for the expenses of the attached middle school, so as not to trouble the palace."
Ning Changrong nodded and said, "Okay, you can just call the shots in the backyard."
"But if something goes wrong with those people sent from the palace in the backyard, you'd better tell the palace when you deal with it, after all, they sent it."
"Of course I know this, your mother is not old and confused." Wang Xiujuan said while sorting out the ledger.
"By the way, are you looking for ***? I just saw you come in and you seemed to have something to say."
Ning Changrong hesitated for a moment and said, "Why did you suddenly remember to ask Mama to teach Xixi the rules?"
After Wang Xiujuan put all the account books in place, she sat back on the stool and looked at Ning Changrong seriously and said, "Do you know how old Xixi is?"
