Greetings, please
Out of the flower-viewing banquet, today's Shangshu Mansion has stopped a lot, and the noise outside makes Song Chu'an feel particularly comfortable.
She deliberately got up early in the morning and asked Chunlai to comb and wash her hair and change into decent clothes.
She wore a goose-yellow jacket today, with a pink embroidered skirt underneath, which was unassuming and delicate.
Song Chu'an sat in front of the bronze mirror, looking at this immature and beautiful face, and couldn't help but reach out and caress gently, this is completely different from the delicate and bright face after she entered the palace, her facial features have not fully grown, and there is still some baby fat on her cheeks.
But even so, this face is still very good-looking.
It's a pity that in her previous life, she didn't know how to use it skillfully, and she was coaxed by Cheng Xin to dress up cheesy and gorgeous, and was once disgusted by her mother and grandmother.
If you say how she could sit in the position of the fourth concubine at a young age in her previous life, most of it was because of this face, even after the fall of the Song family, the emperor was reluctant to kill her, but unfortunately there were always people in this palace who couldn't tolerate her.
"Our young lady is so good-looking, and I want the slave to say that there is no better person in this world than the young lady." Chunlai was satisfied and inserted the last hairpin into Song Chu'an's sideburns, his eyes full of amazement.
Song Chu'an smiled when she heard this, there were indeed few people who could be equal to her appearance in the palace in the past, but if you really want to come up with such a person, Princess Anyang is one.
The eldest princess of Anyang, the youngest and only sister of the emperor, there was no princess for more than ten years after the first emperor succeeded to the throne, it is said that Anyang is an old woman, so the first emperor was very favored and even broke the precedent and even promoted his mother to the third level, from a noble person to one of the four concubines.
She once had a look at Anyang from afar at the palace banquet, and it was really beautiful like a painting, but the woman was different from her beautiful face, Anyang's facial features were extraordinarily deep, and a pair of raised Danfeng eyes were bright.
She has no intersection with An Yang, but she heard in the palace that this princess has the most gentle personality, but unfortunately what she heard later was the death of An Yang.
Song Chu'an couldn't help but sigh for this princess, but like her, she was blushing.
Raising his eyes again, the morning fog outside the window had completely dissipated, Song Chu'an hurriedly glanced at the sky and whispered to Chunlai: "Let's go to Shou'an Hall to say hello to my grandmother." ”
Shou'an Hall is the courtyard of the old lady of the Song family, the Song family studies loyalty and filial piety, although it looks like the wife Xue is in charge, but in fact it is the old lady who has the greatest real power.
In her previous life, she didn't know until she entered the palace that the old lady's eyeliner was everywhere in this mansion, and the old lady was the most powerful one in this back house.
Although this old lady is a little pedantic when she is old, she is a person who pays attention to blood, just because she is a serious lady of the Song family, others will not be missing themselves.
It's just that she is now trying to please the old lady, but her main purpose is not to sell her good deeds in Shou'an Hall.
Cheng Xin has lived in the Song family for a long time, and runs in the courtyard of Shou'an Hall and the Xue family two times a day, in order to let them treat Cheng Xin as their own daughter and granddaughter, she naturally can't let Cheng Xin get her wish.
Cheng Xin has only been in the house for less than half a year now, and she is not in a hurry to please the old lady, her main purpose now is to pull Cheng Xin off the horse with the memory of her previous life, and even the sooner the better.
It was already dawn outside, and the master and servant walked out of the courtyard to Shou'an Hall one after the other, and when Song Chu'an arrived, Cheng Xin had been in for a long time.
She waited quietly for the little maid guarding the door to report, and after a while, an old woman in dark clothes walked out slowly.
The old lady combed her hair neatly and shrewdly in her eyes.
Song Chu'an knows her, this old lady's surname is Sang, and everyone in the house calls her Sang Mama, who is said to be the old lady's dowry maid, and she followed the old lady to serve when she was a teenager.
"Say hello to Mama." Song Chu'an bowed to Mama Sang, her eyes flashing, as if she was well-behaved and sensible.
Mama Sang was stunned for a moment, and looked at the eldest lady in front of her, the little girl's etiquette was very beautiful, and her dignified posture was not like what ordinary deep boudoir could do.
"Miss torments the old slave. The slave will take you in. Mama Sang said polite words, but her expressionless expression eased a little, and she took the initiative to stand aside and walk towards the courtyard with Song Chu'an.
Song Chu'an's eyebrows were crooked, and his face was innocent: "Chu An thanked Mama." ”
Seeing that the eldest lady was so polite, Mama Sang's expression eased a little, and her originally frowning brows were completely relaxed at this time: "Miss doesn't need to be polite." ”
Song Chu'an replied yes with a smile, but he still maintained a regular attitude, and followed Mama Sang slowly towards the courtyard.
She has been in the palace for so many years, and she has long learned how to buy people's hearts.
It is not enough for slaves and maids to be bought only by monetary benefits, and slaves and maids sometimes feel that they are the same human beings as their masters, but few masters really regard slaves and maids as human beings.
In fact, as long as the masters are willing to put down the shelves and give these slaves and maids the dignity they deserve, over time they will more or less turn to you.
She has tried many times in the palace, and now she is the same for Mama Sang.
Mama Sang took Song Chu'an's master and servant to the main house quickly, and Chunlai took the lead in opening the curtain with eyes to let Song Chu'an and Mama Sang step in.
Entering the house, Song Chu'an first moved his gaze to the side, and then greeted the old lady sitting on the main seat without humility or arrogance.
"Granddaughter greets grandmother."
This etiquette is extremely beautiful, and it was practiced by Song Chu'an after studying in the palace for a long time.
The old lady silently took in Song Chu'an's movements, but she only hummed lightly, and the timbre fell on people's ears and couldn't be heard.
Seeing this, Mama Sang set up a seat for Song Chu'an, but Song Chu'an still maintained a regular posture of saluting, until the old lady said again: "Chu An, get up." ”
Song Chu'an slowly got up.
Once upon a time, when the queen mother was still alive in the palace, she was very fond of the concubines who groveled in front of her. When people get old, they will always feel that the people around them don't pay attention to themselves, and over time, they will pay more and more attention to the rights they hold, so that people have to pay attention to her.
Song Chu'an felt that the old lady was also the same reason, a large part of the reason why she still held the power of the Song family at a very old age was to let the people in the family pay attention to her existence.
Song Chu'an can be said to have made a great gift today, although she couldn't see any changes in the old lady's face, she was quickly given a seat, which was a treatment she didn't have in her previous life.
