Chapter 10: Lectures
When the first rays of spring sunlight shined through the window and sprinkled warmth in the boudoir, Luo Xue opened her eyes and hurriedly beckoned Jin Lan in.
When she asked, it was already seven o'clock, and she hurriedly washed and groomed, she hadn't forgotten that she had come to teach what etiquette had come to teach since this morning.
Luo Xue had just finished a table of breakfast, and sure enough, a maid came to tell the legend that it was to teach the practice, Luo Xue answered, and a maid led a mother-in-law who was about forty or fifty years old and looked quite kind came in.
The woman saluted and said: "I have met Miss Luo, I will teach Miss Luo etiquette in the future, if Miss Luo does not understand anything in the process of learning, I hope to communicate with me more"
After studying this morning, Luo Xue is really on the verge of collapse, you must know that in the free and open modern world, there are not so many complicated rules and etiquette.
From clothing, food, housing and transportation, to speech and behavior, to various rituals and palace rules in the palace, everything has a standard manners, not only the posture, but also the eyes.
This is simply teaching a bunch of model props, and the empty human appearance has completely lost the soul of the individual. The teaching was only introduced this morning, and Luo Xue was already having a big head, and he felt that these had led to the same personality in ancient times, which simply made people lose the freedom of their souls.
After introducing the text outline of the complete list of categories that should be studied, the teacher began to focus on explaining the etiquette in the women's boudoir.
Through a series of trainings, Luo Xue was hit hard. All of her current behavior and habits have been denied.
For example, you have to chew and swallow slowly when eating, and you can only eat seven minutes full, you can only sit on a stool for one-third of the time, you must take small steps when you walk, that is, you have to take the so-called lotus step lightly, you have to get up at six o'clock every day, and you have to go to the elders of the family before seven o'clock to say goodbye.
No man can enter the women's boudoir, let alone go out to meet men privately. When a woman sees a strange man, she should raise her eyebrows and bow her head to speak, etc., etc.
After leaving, Jin Lan became Luo Xue's supervisor, so Luo Xue ate a lot of pain at lunch, sat at the table in a regular manner, saw the table full of food, she had a desire to swallow a mouthful, but Jin Lan supervised her, a mouthful of food to chew ten times before the next dish...
She was not allowed to speak. After eating for two hours, this table was finished, and if it was replaced by usual, it would be done within ten minutes for her.
Jin Lan also said that this was the last time she was served 24 dishes, and in the future, it would be reduced to 18 dishes, and she could only eat seven points full......
Luo Xue looked sad, but she couldn't find any reason to object, and remembered that Mr. Jiaoxi was coming in the afternoon, so she was barely happy.
I heard that it was Huang Ziyi, a well-known talent in Zhao State, who was invited. Then you must have insight, maybe you can know some things about immortal cultivators.
Sure enough, after eating, at about one o'clock, the maid came to preach Mr. Xi, and passed her to the front yard to listen to the study, Luo Xue excitedly followed the maid to a side hall in the front yard.
Luo Guozhong was already sitting on the throne above, but today he was dressed in regular clothes, with a hint of a smile on his face, he didn't look so serious, but he began to be a little gentle and amiable.
Below sat a young man of about twenty-five or sixteen years of age, with a delicate face and a gentleman's temperament.
"Luo Xue has seen my father" According to the etiquette she had just learned in the morning, she gave Luo Guozhong a standard salute, and Luo Xue hung her head and waited for her father's instructions.
Luo Guozhong nodded and said: "This is Mr. Huang Ziyi, the most talented and learned Mr. Huang in Zhao Kingdom, it took a lot of effort to invite him to our house for his father, and you will study hard with Mr. Huang in the future."
"What my father said is that Luo Xue has seen Mr. Huang" and greeted Mr. Huang again
Luo Guozhong then motioned for Luo Xue to wait in the courtyard, and he and Mr. Huang talked for a while. Luo Xue obediently went to the courtyard outside, and there were already people in the courtyard who had prepared tables and chairs, pen and ink, and Luo Xue sat down in the lower seat, and she was also a little nervous
This Mr. Huang looks a little young, and I don't know if he is really knowledgeable and talented, and if he can provide her with the information she wants to know......
Boredom, Mr. Huang came out, the two greeted each other, and began to formally teach, in the afternoon, Luo Xue in addition to learning to write, through the conversation with Mr. Huang, really learned that the news that was useful to him was that the world was very big, so big that many places, were just a legend,
For example, on the periphery of Zhao are some other small countries, and on the periphery of all small countries, there is a vast ocean, known as the Dead Sea.
Legend has it that the Dead Sea encircles the entire continent in a circle, and at the end of the Dead Sea, it is surrounded by a huge mountain range.
The mountain range encircles the Dead Sea, which in turn surrounds small countries, and envelops the continent in concentric circles with the Dead Sea.
The reason why the Dead Sea is called the Dead Sea is because the water of the Dead Sea is colorless and odorless, but the water contains a variety of harmful substances, so it cannot be eaten, and there is not even a single fish in the sea, which is simply a forbidden area for life.
And on the mountain range at the end of the Dead Sea, the jungle is dense, and there are many demon beasts in it, if humans are close to the mountains, they can feel the powerful demon beast aura, so strong that just feeling a little bit can make humans dizzy.
So no one has ever been able to enter the mountains, and even some ruthless people have tried to cross the Dead Sea and never come back. So what kind of world is beyond the mountains, no one knows.
Legend has it that once the monsters came into contact with the sea, their bodies would corrode into a dry skeleton at a speed visible to the naked eye, so the monsters never set foot in the mountains because of the Dead Sea.
As for this continent in the Dead Sea, it is called a mirror sky, and that mountain range is also known as the mirror sky mountain range, and the name is very consistent.
Luo Xue also deliberately inquired, there have never been any gods and men in one mirror, let alone immortal cultivators, not even cultivators, the only people close to the avenue are those monks in the temple.
Luo Xue felt extremely frustrated, and Jin Lan watched her come back with great interest, so she didn't say anything to retreat.
Luo Xue stayed alone in the room, feeling depressed. There are no immortal cultivators in this mirror sky, if there is one mirror outside the sky, then you must pass through that mirror heaven mountain range.
There are so many powerful demon beasts there, humans don't dare to approach at all, how can they go there. Now she can only cultivate diligently in the copper bell, hoping to make a breakthrough so that she can have the ability to cross that mountain range.
In the following days, Luo Xue learned rules and etiquette in the morning, practiced piano, chess, calligraphy and painting with Mr. Huang in the afternoon, and read through poetry and songs.
Although Mr. Huang felt that this Miss Luo was too curious about ghosts and gods, he didn't care too much, after all, it didn't have a big impact, so the daily life of the two teachers and students was also harmonious.
Every evening after class, Luo Xue said early that she was going to rest, and as soon as the maids withdrew, she began to devote herself to the cultivation of the copper bell without distraction
Time just slipped away, more than five years have passed in a blink of an eye, Jin Lan combed Luo Xue's hair bun, Jin Lan has grown into a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, beautiful appearance, slender figure, graceful and graceful, very moving.
At this moment, she had a little tenderness on her face, and praised sincerely: "Miss is so good-looking"
Luo Xue followed her gaze to look at herself in the mirror, and the pretty reflection in the mirror reflected a girl's face, this face could not describe her beauty in any words, the corners of her eyes and eyebrows, all graceful, beautiful, beautiful.
Luo Xue saw it, not only was she not happy, but she had a trace of worry in her heart.
