Chapter 84 (2/2)
Ouch, what he said coaxed Chu Zhu out of her mouth. She has always been proud of high marriage. She is the only one among so many famous officials in Shanxi to marry into the palace, and her son is her greatest pride. The old lady of Chu also cherished her only grandson. She asked, ”brother Ning, why didn't you come in?”
Outside rongning hall, Chu Jinyao walked around in a cluster of yards. She lowered her voice and asked Qin Yi, ”how do you get out?”
Just now Chu Jinyao and Chu Jinxian were in the old lady's room, talking to their ancestors. Suddenly, someone sent a letter saying that my aunt was coming. She hurriedly got up and prepared to meet her aunt. In a hurry, seven girls turned a cup of tea over Chu Jinyao. Chu Jinyao had no choice but to come back and change her clothes.
The old lady was worried for several days, but she was late on the day Chu Zhu came back. Chu Jinyao didn't dare to think about the next thing. She changed her clothes and hurried to rongningtang. In order to take a shortcut, she didn't take the main road she was used to, but planned to cross the yard and take a shortcut. However, as soon as he left, things went out.
Chu Jinyao is lost.
Chu Jinyao is followed by rose, a newly bought girl who doesn't know the way here. There are empty yards in this area. The dark ones look the same. They have been walking around for a long time and become more and more confused.
Chu Jinyao quickly whispered for help to Qin Yi while the roses were not paying attention.
”Go out from the corner gate of the small courtyard, go north along the lane, turn west at the corner... In fact, you can go another corner and turn west. You can enter the yard from the steps, cross it, and then take two steps to the south, and you can get to the road you often go.”
Chu Jinyao was stunned for a moment: ”ah?”
”Don't you remember?” Qin Yi was surprised and had to say, ”go north first...”
”Where is north?”
Qin Yi was speechless when asked, ”you don't even know the north?”
”I know. But there are the same houses and yards around. How can I tell?”
”I don't think you know.” Qin Yi was so angry that he couldn't find the north in another place. Can you tell me the location? He had to say, ”did you see the corner door? Yes, it's behind the ear room. Go straight along the road after you go out...”
Chu Jinyao groped slowly in this building under the intermittent guidance of Qin Yi. She had to support the roses for a while, and then secretly talked to Qin Yi. Chu Jinyao felt like a thief.
”How to go next?” Chu Jinyao secretly asked Qin Yi while people were not paying attention.
”What are you doing?” a voice suddenly sounded behind her. Chu Jinyao was startled and loosened her jade pendant.
”Keep your waist straight. Lift your chin and don't shrink your face in.”
Chu Jinyao practiced the greeting posture askew according to Qin Yi's instructions. Chu Jinyao thought to herself that Qi Ze sounded bad tempered. Unexpectedly, he was patient when teaching people. He would correct her mistakes bit by bit without scolding.
”Don't shake.”
”I don't want to shake,” Chu Jinyao said hard, ”but I can't control it.”
Qin Yi was quite satisfied with the ”disciple” who was lucky to be instructed by himself. Although Chu Jinyao was clumsy, he suffered a lot. He changed immediately after he said it, which was much better than those chirping women in the palace. Qin Yi said, ”I'm tired. Let's have a rest.”
Chu Jinyao was sweating on her forehead, but she shook her head and said, ”no, I've just put this action right. If you rest, you'll have to correct it one by one. I'll keep it like this for a while until I remember it.”
After hearing this, Qin Yi would look up at Chu Jinyao. Unexpectedly, she was a bitter one. Ordinary daughter, who is willing to embarrass herself like this?
When Chu Jinyao made sure she remembered it, she fell to the ground with a cry and hurriedly beat her calf: ”it's so sour.”
Qin Yi deliberately said not to sit on the ground and not to expose his legs out of his skirt, which is more serious than asking for an salute. But he looked at Chu Jinyao's white lips and didn't say anything at last.
Chu Jinyao had a good rest, took the initiative to stand up and said, ”let's continue to practice.”
”OK.” Qin Yi looked at Chu Jinyao's shaky figure and said faintly, ”I'll teach you how to sit. Now go to the stool and sit on your legs.”
”OK!” Chu Jinyao hurriedly sat down on the round stool. A brocade cushion was sewn on the stool. She sat very comfortable. Her trembling legs were much better. Chu Jinyao waited for a while and couldn't help asking, ”then?”
Qin Yi wanted to sigh. Look at her eyesight price. He can only say: ”when greeting, you should pay attention to what you say in addition to the blessing ceremony. Different people say different words, that is, the same person makes different speeches at different times.”
Chu Jinyao nodded after being taught, and Qin Yi continued: ”You're a woman, and your manners are actually too relaxed. If you're an elder, it's OK for you to make a mistake accidentally. It's OK to say a flattering word with your elders. Especially if you're still in Shanxi, there are few other surnames except the Chu family. Only people bump into you, and you don't bump into people, so you don't have to be so frightened. Under your elders, people of the same generation don't care. Let them give you You salute, but you are the undertaker. You should pay more attention. ”
Chu Jinyao vaguely felt that she was not quite right. She didn't care what her peers did. Even if her peers saluted her, she didn't dare to accept it. However, they kindly explained that Chu Jinyao didn't interrupt without interest, but asked modestly: ”why should we pay attention to the subordinates?”
”You can't do everything yourself. You can know people, use people, intimidate people and pretend to be deaf. These are the most important things in the palace... For example, the servant girl who curtain you in your mother's room today. If she is willing to teach you a lesson, it means that this person can be seduced. Otherwise, it's hard to intervene to teach someone else's servant girl Who will do the thankless things? And the old lady, she must be ashamed of you. You can use her at the right time. ”
Chu Jinyao was shocked: ”you went out with me all day today, and you read so much?”
