Chapter 41 "Learning the Palace Rules"

The more things you can't get, the more you want them, and the more things that are new to you, the more you can't live without them. After Yun Mo goes to court every day, apart from handling official duties in the study, he also dives into Aunt Xiu's Xiuzhu Garden. .

Mrs. Qin refused to give in. If Yun Mo didn't come, she wouldn't send someone to invite him. After all, pretending to be sick to invite favors was something only a concubine would do. After all, she was also a young lady, so she didn't bother to do such a thing.

On this day, a nun came to the old lady's house. Her name was Li Jinlian. She and the old lady had been handkerchiefs. She entered the palace as a prince when she was young. The nuns who raised the princesses, because of her strict palace rules, abide by all the rules. Responsibility, integrity and meticulousness.It has a good reputation among the nursing mothers.

Over the years, the two have kept in touch. After she came out of the palace, many aristocratic families vied with each other to hire her as a nanny in the palace. The current queen had been taught by her before she left the palace, and she was invisibly respected. Because of her high net worth, many families who spent a lot of money to hire her to educate their children may not be able to hire her. The noble ladies of the Kyoto aristocratic families are proud of being educated by her.

This time, the old lady asked the old sisters to come out. The old lady had her own considerations. If she wanted to stand firm in Kyoto, the younger generation must be able to stand out.

Regardless of whether she is a legitimate daughter or a concubine, as long as she has something that can be made, she will cultivate it more.

She didn't want the children in the family to just fight at home behind closed doors under Qin's influence. She hoped to train one or two people who could lead the family to prosperity.

The weather was getting colder and colder. Yun Sujin didn't go out these days. The ground dragon in her room was very warm. She devoted herself wholeheartedly to the process of making medicine. She was busy from morning to dark, and then fell asleep.

On this day, after lunch, the old lady sent someone to take him to Anshou Garden. As soon as he entered the door, he saw everyone there, and there was an old woman sitting at the table with her grandmother. She was wearing a purple coat and skirt. , the cuffs are embroidered with lotus flowers, a few auspicious clouds are outlined with silver thread, and the hem is densely packed with sea water cloud patterns.She wears her hair in a bun with carved wooden hairpins, narrow phoenix eyes, a black mole on the tip of her eyebrows, a high nose with a slightly protruding tip, thin lips, and bright and clear eyes.

Everyone saw her coming, and they couldn't help but wonder why grandma called all of them here. They had been here for a long time, but they didn't see grandma say a word. Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all wondering. But no one said anything to stand out.

Under the introduction of the old lady, all the girls went to visit one by one. The old lady said: "Mama Li has some friendship with me. Today I shamelessly invite her to the mansion to teach you the palace rules and etiquette, so that you will not make mistakes in the future." , bringing losses to the family.”

Aunt Li glanced around the crowd with her eyes, and everyone lowered their eyelids unconsciously. Some of the timid ones wished they could see through the soles of their feet.Only Yun Sujin, because her eyes were so sharp, could see through everything.Only Yun Sujin and Yun Xiyao always raised their heads to accept Grandma Li's scrutiny.

Yun Xiyao is very confident. Her mother has been cultivating her since she was a child. She believes that she will become a leader among these people. In the future, she will definitely be able to fly to the branches and bring glory to the family.

Yun Sujin, on the other hand, acted neither humble nor arrogant, elegant and generous. When she just saluted, her etiquette was just right. She respected her without feeling inferior. She had a good sense of etiquette. If she hadn't looked at her young age, she would have thought she had been Strictly trained.Moreover, in the face of her scrutinizing eyes, everyone either lowered their heads, were arrogant, or avoided their eyes, not daring to look at her. Only her eyes were calm and steady, looking at her level. She was neither humble nor overbearing, and her calm and composed look was very appreciated by Grandma Li. , this magnanimity is comparable to that of a queen.

But appreciation is appreciation, and what needs to be said still needs to be said. She has not forgotten her mission this time.She withdrew her gaze, looked at the crowd and said, "I am the same generation as your grandmother, so I will support you as a mammy. Thanks to your grandmother for being considerate, I will teach you the rules and etiquette of the palace."

"I have to be strict on a few points: First: Don't play any intrigues here? One will be prosperous, one will suffer."

"Second: You must get up when the rooster crows every day. You cannot ask for leave or procrastinate. Anyone who comes late will be disqualified from teaching." "Third: The daily teaching homework is divided into three sections. In the morning, Noon, evening, morning and noon are for studying the palace rules, and evening is for reviewing the palace rules learned in the morning and noon. During the teaching period, I only talk about rules and not about human feelings. I hope everyone will remember it."

"Lectures will start tomorrow, everyone should go back and prepare."

After listening to these three things, everyone felt a little big-headed. This was too harsh. Looking at everyone's bitter look, the old lady said: "These girls are spoiled. I need your help, sister, to train them more."

"You must not only respect Grandma Li as a teacher, but also respect your elders. If anyone disrespects Grandma Li, I will never show mercy." The old lady looked at everyone and said with a straight face:

Everyone agreed and then returned to their rooms.

The next day, before the cockcrow, Yun Sujin got up. In order to facilitate her study, she took off her heavy clothes and put on simple clothes.It's still early before dawn, and it's still dark outside, but you can vaguely see the fog.Qingqing put on a thickened cloak and tie for her, and held the lamp for her.

As they walked on the road, a cold wind blew toward them, making their faces hurt. The master and the servant sped up and walked towards the teaching hall.

When they arrived at the hall, Grandma Li was already sitting at the head of the hall holding a ruler.Watching her arrival, he looked a little surprised, because the rooster had not yet crowed for the first time.

Yun Sujin saluted solemnly, and then sat down in her seat. Not long after, everyone else arrived. Yun Xiyao was the last one to arrive. She only came in with the help of the maid when the rooster crowed. It seems that he came here just in time.

This was too early and seriously affected her beauty sleep.Grandma Li was a little unhappy, but she didn't show it.

Then I started to look at today's teaching tasks. Today I mainly teach standing and sitting postures.Then ask everyone to cross their hands behind each other, insert a stick on their backs, stand up straight, raise their heads and chests, and look straight ahead, holding on for a quarter of an hour.At the beginning, everyone stood upright, but after a few minutes, some people couldn't hold on anymore, sweat broke out on their faces, and they collapsed on the ground behind them.

Grandma Li picked her up like a little chicken, and then continued to stand. If anyone bent their back a little, they would be slapped with a ruler.

Finally, the standing posture was over, and my hands were freed, and then came the sitting posture again.Aunt Li personally demonstrated that the sitting position could only be one-third of the chair. Now it was the butt and waist’s turn to suffer. Not long after sitting down, Yun Wanrong in the second room and Yun Jinyan in the third room secretly complained in their hearts, almost unable to hold on. When they went down, they wanted to ask Aunt Li to take a break, but they were stared back by Aunt Li, so they had no choice but to persist.

After finishing the evening review lessons, everyone felt paralyzed by exhaustion. The palace rules were really difficult to learn and too torturous.Only Yun Sujin remained calm-faced. She could do her best in everything and bring surprises to her grandma.
