Zhu Men Ji Shi

Chapter 157 Learning Rules (1)

Shen Zhiyun nodded in agreement: "Well, prepare more, and bring me some food and wine by the way."

When you are in a good mood, you will naturally want to have a drink or two.

Yao shi responded lightly, clutching a handkerchief, and walked out of the room.

As soon as I left the room, I couldn't help speeding up my pace, and complained to the maid beside me: "I drink outside every day, and I still drink when I get home. When you get older, you should be mature and sensible. How can you become a drinker?" Worm?"

Yao shi went to the kitchen first, explained a few words, and then asked someone to bring food and wine to Shen Zhiyun.However, she didn't go back herself, and went to her daughter's room to complain.

When Shen Yuexuan heard that Concubine Jing, who is the most favored by His Majesty, actually wanted to personally summon the elder sister to enter the palace, she felt both shocked and ridiculous.

Although Yao shi was angry in his heart, he couldn't help but said: "Man, after living for a long time, anything can happen to me. Because of that up-and-coming eldest sister, your father is so happy that he can hardly find Bei Alas... To be honest, I have always looked down on your elder sister, but now, I can't say anything about those sarcastic remarks in the past. As the saying goes, a hero is not afraid of low birth, even a sparrow can become a phoenix. Think about it It's not completely unreasonable. Think about your eldest sister, what kind of life she lived in the past, but look at her now..."

She only said half of the words full of emotion, and she restrained herself a little for the remaining half.After all, it was in front of her daughter, and she didn't want to look like a resentful woman.

After listening to her words, Shen Yuekui hooked the corners of her lips with a half-smile, and said in her heart: No matter if she is Phoenix or Sparrow, the ending is the same.Now that she's married into a big family with a small population, it's her fault that she can't have children.

Early the next morning, Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen woke up early on purpose, preparing to leave early and go to Ruan's house earlier.

But to my surprise, the Shen family also woke up very early on purpose. Mrs. Shen personally ordered the servant girl to bring a lot of things, and smiled at Zhu Jintang: "The Duke has helped us so much, so he should have come to the door to thank you personally." It's a pity that my body is not up to par, and I just caused trouble to others when I passed. Although I just visited the day before yesterday, I will inevitably bother you again today. So she personally ordered someone to prepare some food, here are some food There are local products and medicinal materials, all of which are filial to the Duke and his wife, as well as the grandparents and girls in the house, you should take them together, it is a little kindness."

If it weren't for the strict palace rules that did not allow privately bringing things into the palace, the old lady would have put in more thought to prepare the congratulatory gift for Concubine Jing overnight.

Shen Yuechen didn't refuse, smiled knowingly, and said sweetly: "Understood, grandma, don't worry about it."

Zhu Jintang also replied in the same way: "Old man, don't worry about it."

People do not blame.Although the meaning of flattery is a bit too obvious, it is not good to go there empty-handed.

To be honest, Shen Yuechen didn't sleep well all night, with the matter of entering the palace all the time in his heart, his whole body was completely tossed and turned, and even Zhu Jintang couldn't sleep well.

When waking up early, Shen Yuechen purposely painted her makeup delicately to cover up the tiredness on her face.

Zhu Jintang is a person who is used to staying up late, so it seems that there is no serious problem, and he is still refreshed.

He is such a person, even if he only sleeps for an hour a day, he can still maintain plenty of energy.

The husband and wife rushed out without exchanging many greetings, and then hurriedly left.

On the other side of the Ruan family, Zhu Yuanlan had already prepared everything. Not only did he invite a maid from the palace to teach the rules, but he also specially prepared the clothes and shoes for Shen Yuechen when he entered the palace tomorrow. Simple jewelry.

Because you are going to enter the palace, you must be careful in everything.

The lady-in-waiting that Zhu Yuanlan invited was the same lady Tang who taught Ruan Linluo back then.She used to be someone close to the Empress Dowager, but now, she is working in Shuiyue Palace, so she can be regarded as a close confidant of Concubine Jing.

Zhu Jintang and Shen Yuechen came to visit Ruan's house again with gifts in large and small packages, feeling a little nervous.

Nanny Tang had already been sternly waiting for Shen Yuechen while drinking tea.

When Shen Yuechen heard about this, he suddenly felt that he was a little rude. Logically, he should have arrived earlier than her, but it was a pity that he was one step behind.

Women follow the rules, so Zhu Jintang is naturally inconvenient to be there, he just talks and plays chess with Ruan Shilin.

Zhu Yuanlan personally brought Shen Yuechen to see Nanny Tang, the two of them met each other, and after saluting, they were about to formally learn the rules.

Because time is limited, they can't take care of other things, so they must hurry up and start learning right away.

Before studying, Zhu Yuanlan took Shen Yuechen's hand very kindly, patted it lightly, and said gently: "Because of the rush of time, you will be very tired today, so you have to be prepared."

Today is bound to be a very hard day.

Shen Yuechen was already mentally prepared, nodded and said: "Yes, I understand."

Nanny Tang was one of the most powerful in the palace. Moreover, she was born with a cold face, didn't like to smile, and had sharp eyes. Just sitting there without saying or doing anything would make people feel very dignified .

The first thing to do when entering the palace is to learn how to salute.

Sure enough, Mother Tang didn't give her much time to get used to it, and she said a harsh word when they met: "I heard that this is the first time Madam has entered the palace, so let this old slave make it clear first. The forbidden area of ​​the palace is the most important thing." The word is rules, once you break the rules, your wealth and life may be affected anytime and anywhere. Therefore, Madam must firmly remember all the etiquette learned today, and when she enters the palace tomorrow, she must not be a little bit of a star. "

Shen Yuechen was slightly overwhelmed by her aura, and quickly said seriously: "Yes, mother."

As soon as her words fell, Tang Nanny spoke again: "Okay, then I will say one more thing, Madam, please don't try to learn from this old slave. Since you want to learn, you must Learn well, the palace is the place where the emperor lives, and it is not a place where anyone can enter if they want, or just make a fuss about it. So this old slave will never allow you to make mistakes or fail."

"Yes, I will always keep in mind what Mammy said."

After listening to Madam Tang's words, that oppressive feeling came to my heart instantly.

Now, Ruan Linluo is a concubine, according to the rules, Shen Yuechen, as a commoner, must bow down in front of her.

Tang Nanny's requirements were extremely strict, and Shen Yuechen had to practice more than 20 times just for the posture of curtseying, until her knees became sore.

Seeing that her movements were a little slow, Mother Tang immediately said sharply: "Madam is not doing it right. Although she is bowing her knees, she must do so gracefully and appropriately."

Shen Yuechen took a deep breath and started practicing again.

She practiced more than a dozen times before barely passing the test. Unfortunately, she didn't even have the time to drink water or catch her breath, so she was taught by Nanny Tang to learn how to kneel and salute.

Although Shen Yuechen was well prepared, she never expected that Madam Tang's method would be so harsh, so strict that she could almost be regarded as a devil.

She had only been studying for half an hour, and she was already sweating from exhaustion, and she couldn't help but start to worry that if she continued to practice like this, by tomorrow morning, her legs would be so weak that she couldn't stand up.

Zhu Yuanlan saw the embarrassment in her eyes, raised her hand slightly, and signaled Nanny Tang to take a break.

Although Mother Tang was very strict with Shen Yuechen, she was respectful to Zhu Yuanlan.

She is the mother of Concubine Jing, and also the Lady of Imperial Order, so her status is naturally higher than that of a maidservant.

Zhu Yuanlan asked Shen Yuechen to sit down, drink some tea, and said softly: "It's hard work, right? This is not something that can be learned in a short time. Unfortunately, our time is limited, so we can only work hard on you."

Shen Yuechen smiled slightly, "Ma'am, don't worry. It's rare, Mother Tang teaches so carefully, I will definitely learn it well."

Shen Yuechen knew very well that if she didn't do well or made any mistakes, then not only would she lose face, but also the face of the Ruan family.

After a short rest, Shen Yuechen had to get up and practice again until he was covered in sweat and even the makeup on his face was smeared.

However, her hard work was not in vain. It took only one day for Nanny Tang to pass the test.

In the past, she taught Ruan Linluo the same way, but the time was not so rushed.It had to be said that she hadn't met such a tolerant person for a long time.

Because of the whole day of practice, Shen Yuechen's legs were a little weak, and even standing up felt sore.

Zhu Jintang looked at her and couldn't help worrying: "Will you get tired like this?"

The people in the palace are indeed ruthless.In case of being exhausted, wouldn't it be a delay in major events.

Seeing him coming, Shen Yuechen wanted to get up, but in the end he sat still. "I'm fine. It's a good thing that the nuns in the palace taught me very carefully."

If she just came here to deal with it casually, then when she really entered the palace, she didn't know how many mistakes she would make.

After hearing this, Zhu Jintang knew that she could still handle it, and asked, "How is it? Do you feel more nervous now?"

Shen Yuechen shook his head when he heard the words: "No, because there are too many things to remember, and I can't care about being nervous or not."

She obviously spoke very sincerely, but Zhu Jintang couldn't help pursing the corners of his mouth after hearing this, as if he was about to laugh.

Shen Yuechen didn't understand what he was laughing at, just looked at him silently and didn't answer for a while.

Zhu Jintang waved and called Chunming and Cuixin who were opposite to come over, and ordered: "Hurry up and prepare hot water for Madam."

Chun Ming took a step forward and replied, "The hot water is boiling, and the servants have prepared medicine packs for bathing to relax the tendons and activate the blood for the young lady."

Shen Yuechen stood up slowly, and stretched his muscles and bones a little. It is necessary to take a bath at this time, so as not to be sore and weak the next morning.

The night is dark and windy, and the stars are sparse.

At this time, the lights in the Shuiyue Palace were brightly lit, and the maids in green clothes waited quietly on both sides of the curtain leading to the inner room, motionless.At this moment, the inner room was quiet, except for the occasional groans and whispers, listening carefully, one could not help but feel blush and heartbeat.

The maid waiting outside looked up at the translucent curtain from time to time, then quickly lowered her head.

After a while, there was finally movement in the inner room, and a deep and slightly hoarse voice came out: "Come here."
