Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 11 Tao Yunyun

Mother Deng picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea in the cup, said: "I really thought of something to tell Miss Wu, but this is just my own opinion, if Miss Wu thinks it's useless after hearing it, just pretend I didn't say it." .”

Lu Wanning nodded: "Sister, please tell me."

Mother Deng put down her teacup, and said, "I suggest that Miss Fifth, if she has time in the next year, she can practice her figure again."

"Practice?" Lu Wanning was puzzled.

Mother Deng explained: "During the late emperor's time, concubines with soft bodies in the harem were more favored by the late emperor."

No matter how many mothers Deng did not say, but Lu Wanning is not a stupid person, she will understand after thinking about it carefully, but she is still a boudoir girl after all, after understanding what Deng mother said, her face still blushed uncontrollably .

"Thank you for reminding me, ma'am, I'll remember."

After Madam Deng finished what she had to say, she left the Zhongyonghou Mansion with her own burden after taking her farewell again.

After Mother Deng left, Lu Wanning thought about it for a long time, how should she train her figure?

Seeing that Lu Wanning was worried, Yun Xiang said, "If Miss doesn't understand, why not find someone who understands to teach Miss?"

"But who are we looking for?" Bai Zhi asked.

Rue Xiang showed hesitation, not knowing whether to say it or not.

Seeing Yun Xiang like this, Bai Zhi said, "If you have any ideas, speak up quickly, even if it's inappropriate, Miss won't blame you."

Lu Wanning also said: "Bai Zhi is right, if you have any ideas, Yunxiang, just tell me and I will listen."

When Lu Wanning said this, Rue Xiang didn't hesitate anymore, and said: "Miss, this servant wants to say that she has a soft figure, who can compare to those dancers, or should I go back and ask a dancer to see how they are How did you practice it?"

It's just that the dancer's status is low after all, and Rue Xiang is afraid that Lu Wanning will feel that asking the dancer about these things is demeaning.

Lu Wanning didn't care about these things. After listening, she thought about it and agreed: "Then you can ask someone after the year."

Zhongyonghou's Mansion follows those procedures every year during Chinese New Year, and it's the same this year. On the thirtieth year, they received the rewards from the palace, and everyone gathered together for a New Year's Eve dinner, and then went back to their own yards to watch the new year.

From then on, until the fifteenth day, various banquets continued in the mansion, especially the few girls who had reached the marriageable age in the Hou's mansion, either led by Mrs. Lin or their mothers. I will attend the banquet of that family tomorrow.

Because Lu Wanning had already decided to enter the palace, the Lin family did not allow her to participate in these banquets, and Lu Wanning was also happy and quiet. She either nestled in Qin Yaxuan reading books and made incense all day long, or went to accompany Tao and Lu Simo. Hou Fu's time with them is running out, and she wants to spend as much time with them as possible.

Fifteen years later, Rue Xiang found Duan Sanniang, the most famous dancer in Tianyin Pavilion, and learned from her how they cultivated their soft figures.

There are skills and so on, but it mainly depends on practice. It is impossible for Lu Wanning to practice like them in a short time. Fortunately, Lu Wanning does not have such high requirements, so she can do whatever she can.

Lu Wanyi, father and daughter Lu Yuan and Lin had been fighting for so long years ago. Seeing that Lin's attitude was really firm, no matter whether he was sloppy, cheating, or soft-spoken, they couldn't make Lin change his mind. People gradually give up.

It's just that every time Lu Wanyi sees Lu Wanning, there is jealousy and envy in her eyes.

After Lu Wanrou knew that Lu Wanning was going to enter the palace, she looked at Lu Wanning in exactly the same way as Lu Wanyi, only Lu Wanqing always treated Lu Wanning the same.

But Lu Wanning didn't care much about these.

In February, I will try it. At the end of the first month, all the candidates from all over the country have already entered the capital. Tao Yunyun also came to the capital at the end of the month.

When Tao Yunyun came to pay his respects, Lu Wanning happened to be at Tao's place. Hearing Tao Yunyun's arrival, Lu Wanning left first.

Unexpectedly, Lu Wanning ran into Tao Yunyun who was walking in as soon as she left Tao's courtyard.

"Cousin." Tao Yunyun's eyes lit up when he saw Lu Wanning.

It was too late for Lu Wanning to avoid it at this time, so she simply greeted Tao Yunyun generously, "Cousin."

"Did my cousin go to accompany my aunt just now?" Tao Yunyun asked knowingly, just wanting to have a few more words with Lu Wanning.

Lu Wanning nodded, and said: "Well, mother is very happy to know that cousin is here, and she is waiting for cousin inside now, cousin, go in quickly, I will go first."

After speaking, Lu Wanning turned and left.

Tao Yunyun opened his mouth, but in the end he only said, "Cousin, go slowly."

Lu Wanning didn't walk a few steps after leaving and ran into Lu Wanrou again. Lu Wanrou called out with a smile, "Fifth Sister", and said, "I heard that Fifth Sister's uncle's cousin came to greet Third Aunt. Why did Fifth Sister come out so soon? Don't you want to chat with my uncle's cousin for a while?"

Lu Wanning glanced at Lu Wanrou, and said indifferently: "Fourth sister is a boudoir girl, so it's inappropriate to care so much about my cousin who is a foreigner. If you don't know, what idea is fourth sister going to make?"

Lu Wanrou smiled and said: "Fifth Sister thinks too much, I just feel sorry for Fifth Sister, what a good husband-in-law, but Fifth Sister will miss it because of entering the palace."

Lu Wanning shook her head amusedly, and said: "Fourth sister, although you are a concubine, you are still a girl from the Hou family. I advise you to be more careful when you speak, and don't talk about your husband and son-in-law all day long, so as not to worry It's embarrassing to hear."

Lu Wanrou's complexion changed, she forced a smile and said, "I mean it well, why should Fifth Sister be angry?"

"Is that eye of yours seeing me angry?" Lu Wanning asked back, and before Lu Wanrou could answer, she said in a hurry: "Didn't the fourth sister hear it? I also kindly tried to persuade the fourth sister, after all, the fourth sister If grandma and eldest aunt hear these words, they will have to reprimand Fourth Sister again."

Hearing Lu Wanning mention Mrs. Lin and Mrs. Chang, the forced smile on Lu Wanrou's face couldn't hold back.

Seeing this, Lu Wanning stopped talking nonsense with Lu Wanrou and left with Yunxiang.

Lu Wanrou looked at Lu Wanning's leaving back, bit her lip, and finally could only mutter unwillingly, "What's there to be proud of?"

After Tao Yunyun greeted Tao Shi, he left without staying in the Hou Mansion.

After he left, Tao shook his head and sighed to the nurse beside him, "What a wonderful child, what a pity."

The mother smiled and comforted Tao Shi and said: "Young Master Biao is indeed very good, not to mention his ability to advance and retreat, and this year's Yongning Mansion's Xie Yuan, this time he will probably pass the general examination and palace examination. But Madam, don't feel sorry, Biao No matter how good the young master is, this old slave also thinks that he is not good enough for our young lady, and it is our young lady's best choice not to enter the palace."
