General: Don't come close if you are indecent

After living for two lifetimes, she was lucky enough to be able to visit the imperial court. Shen Qing was very active to enter the palace with a tourist mentality, and looked around the solemn and mighty palace along the way. It's time to go back to the house. Unexpectedly, after the carriage entered the east gate, as soon as I got out of the carriage, an old woman who was nearly fifty years old suddenly appeared.

The old nanny was dressed in a dark brown palace dress, and she came up to speak with a blissful facial expression, "I have seen General Mo Yu, and this old slave is ordered by the queen to teach the general's wife the rules and etiquette in the palace."

Shen Qing has black hair, what kind of court etiquette does she learn from tourists...

The old nanny's unfriendly appearance, Shen Qing guessed that the queen should have known about the conflict with Zhao Suxue yesterday.I really shouldn't have let Nadu go out with him. With him, any stop is like an identity sign.

Xia Houzhan faced each other indifferently, obviously unwilling to talk to these people, and said coldly: "She can just follow this general, and don't have to learn from those who have nothing to gain."

The old nanny bowed her body and did not flinch, "General, this is the rule in the palace. The new female family members who enter the palace must clearly understand the etiquette that should be in the palace. The general's wife is from the people. It’s not good for the masters to blame them.”

The old mother was not willing to let go, Shen Qing obviously felt the general's impatience, not to mention that she came from the common people, the general even came from Jingchu, no one was willing to abide by their heavy red tape, but it was unreasonable to go out happily. When entering the palace, there was a dispute with the person sent by the queen.

"Forget it, I'll go." Just spend some time learning the social etiquette of this era.

Xia Houzhan turned to look at her, and was about to say that she didn't have to go at all, when the old nanny said: "The general's wife is indeed a sensible person, please follow the old slave here, General Mo Yu, please go first." Go to Delong Hall, the Holy Majesty has been waiting for you for a long time."

Shen Qing was very obedient and prepared to follow, but the general didn't intend to let go, "Don't worry, I'll find you for a round later."

After leaving the general for a while, Shen Qing followed the old lady into the palace with nine twists and eighteen bends. This place was like a labyrinth, with high red walls everywhere. The old lady walked unhurriedly, Shen Qing Occasionally, if you look in a daze, you will fall a short distance away.

The old nanny spoke indifferently at the front, "Madam General, the imperial palace is not a rural market outside, you can't stop and go like this!"

Shen Qing shrugged, continued to follow with a meaningless face, turned around a palace wall, the old mother stopped in front of a palace courtyard, turned to her and said: "You stand here and wait now, the old slave is going to get the study Books and utensils for etiquette in the palace."

Shen Qing was a little depressed, books and utensils?It sounds like a very professional course.

After the old nanny walked away, Shen Qing stood alone on the palace road in the empty alley. To be honest, she really didn't dare to walk around. The last time she walked around in the Yangcheng palace, she almost got into trouble. Upper body, she behaved a little better this time.

When I was waiting to be bored, I suddenly heard a crashing sound, as if some beads had fallen to the ground, Shen Qing couldn't bear the curiosity in her heart, followed the sound to find the past, turned around two palace walls and saw a wide It is said that it is a courtyard, but it does not seem to be the case, because there is a palace lake in the place where the palace walls are so high...

Without the cover of the palace wall, the sun shines in freely, the lake surface blows the early winter breeze, surrounded by dense flowers and trees, forest stone rockery, and there are many plum blossoms in bud on the shore of the lake, bursting with fragrance, Could this place be the legendary imperial garden?

Shen Qing stood and looked around for a while, and was about to turn around to go back, when he suddenly saw a figure bent over to pick up something on the pavilion in the imperial garden, an old man with gray hair, Shen Qing hurried over to help.

Black and white chess pieces fell all over the floor of the pavilion, and Shen Qing immediately understood what the sound was just now. The old man was wearing a black robe to block the wind, and he reacted indifferently when he saw someone approaching.

"Old man, let me pick it up for you." Shen Qing squatted on the ground, holding the chess bowl to help him pick up the chess pieces one by one.

The old man stepped aside and sat, looking curiously at the little girl who helped him pick up chess pieces, "Old man?"

Shen Qing raised her head, only then realized that she had forgotten to find out the identity of the other party, and smiled awkwardly, "I'm sorry, I just entered the palace today, so... what should I call you?"

He was wearing a black robe, and he didn't know what he was wearing, so he couldn't judge his identity, gardener?Father-in-law?It shouldn't be the Holy One of the Great Zhou Dynasty. How could the emperor sit here alone? Besides, the old lady said just now that the Holy Majesty was waiting for the general in the Delong Hall, so she looked at the old man who was sitting leisurely with a embarrassed look on her face. , and wait for his answer.

The old man chuckled, as if he hadn't been this happy for a long time, "Just call me old man, it sounds very smooth."

"Oh," Shen Qing replied, lowered her head and continued to pick up chess pieces, "Old man, why are you playing chess here alone?"

The old man stretched out his hand and covered his wrist, "I'm old and useless, and no one is willing to play chess with me anymore. I didn't pay attention just now, and I fell asleep on the chessboard. That's why I broke the whole place."

The seat where Shen Qing was squatting just happened to be able to see the old man holding his slightly trembling hand. Hearing his words and his symptoms, this old man should have mild Alzheimer's disease... Shen Qing had a feeling in his heart for a moment. , The weakening of bodily functions is unstoppable.

"Otherwise, shall I play chess with you?"

"Oh?" The old man became more interested, "You can play chess?"

"...No." In fact, Shen Qing was a little superficial, but thinking of the old man's condition, she suddenly had another idea in her mind, "Why don't I teach you another thing to pass the time?"

"what?"

Shen Qing picked up the chess piece, stood up with a smile, "Hit the horse hanging!"

"Handling?" The old man was slightly surprised.

"That's right." Although she didn't know how to cure the disease, she knew that playing mahjong could prevent and treat the disease. Shen Qing said and sat down beside him, "Playing mahjong is much more interesting than playing chess, and Four people at a table, you won’t be so bored playing chess with yourself, will you?”

"How do you play this horse crane?" The old man asked her aloud. He knew it was a folk fun show, but he had never played it before, so he became interested in it instantly.

Shen Qing smiled slightly, and began to introduce the Ma Diao's playing methods to him, from Wan, Bing, Tiao, Zi, Feng tiles, to the cards' faces, to the playing methods, to the counting algorithm, step by step, explaining to him in an easy-to-understand manner.

The old man nodded after listening to the meeting, "It sounds interesting, well, you can play a few games with me here."

Just as Shen Qing was about to agree, she suddenly remembered that she came here to learn court etiquette. After walking away for a while, the old mother must have been looking for her everywhere, "But..."

"No, but," the old man held her arm, not intending to let her go, he raised his hand, and said in a too high-pitched voice, "Come here." As soon as he finished speaking, at the gate of the palace wall behind him, Suddenly, a white-faced man wearing eunuch's palace uniform hurried out, "The servant is here!"

"Immediately find a pair of horses for the widow to hang over."

The eunuch looked at her in surprise, "Yes, this servant will do it now!"

Shen Qing was stunned for a moment with her mouth gaping, and her heart began to shudder violently. Is he from the Great Zhou Sage? ! Orz, she, a tourist, was lucky enough to be able to play horse-hanging with the emperor...
