Chapter 5 Meet Your Aunt
"Ouch." Yao Yulu was hit and almost fell down unsteadily. She screamed in shock.
"Ah, girl, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to. I'm really sorry, I..." A girl lowered her head in a panic and kept apologizing to Yao Yulu.
"It doesn't matter. It's not a big deal if you bump into it." Yao Yulu comforted.
The girl wears no expensive jewelry, but wears a light jade bracelet on her wrist. Although her facial features are not beautiful, her eyebrows are also beautiful, and the corners of her mouth always rise slightly, because what happened just now looks a little nervous.
"Thank you for your understanding. My name is Ji Shuidong. I'm from Fuze County on the 16th this year. Please take good care of me."
The girl's words eased Yao Yulu's already tense heart, and the two began to talk.
"My name is Yao Yulu. I'm 17 years old this year. I live in Huangcheng. Sister, you are so polite."
The two of you are very speculative. For many years in Yaofu, no one, whether it was a maid or a sister, could talk to her, and no one was willing to talk to her as a concubine. Now the girl named Ji Shuidong looks simple, but she has a very similar conversation. Yao Yulu put down her nervous thoughts and looked at the girl in front of her with comfort.
"Dear girls, I'm Grandpa Liu, come with me." An old eunuch waved the dust in his hand and walked straight north in a hoarse voice.
The beautiful girls in front of Xuanwu Gate embarked on the departure of the rest of their lives.
As the eunuch walked along the way, Yao Yulu saw that the palace was really wide. The solemn palaces rose with brilliant golden roofs, lined up one after another, and the garden was inlaid with clear small pools, which were solemn and stylish.
Jinyang Hall is made of tremble wood as beams, carved with exquisite dragon patterns, and another milky jade as a column in the hall, carved with clouds on the edge of the dragon. The magnificent hall is beautiful.
On this walk, we arrived at the door of a wide palace, with three golden regular scripts written on the plaque: Taoyuan Hall. This Taoyuan Hall is a residence specially prepared for the beautiful women to be selected. It is surrounded by a high courtyard wall surrounded by a square body. When you step into the yard, you can see a small garden surrounded by peach trees. In the middle, a clear stream flows. This small garden is very carefully arranged, although it is not comparable to the imperial garden. Gorgeous but also another elegant style. Looking inside, there is a row of wing rooms, which is the residence of the beautiful women. The beams of the wing room are carved with delicate patterns, golden green glazed tiles on the top, and several cloud pillars carved with peach blossoms stand under the beams.
Two beautiful women in Taoyuan Hall share a room. In the middle of the two rooms, there is an open-air courtyard for four beautiful women to rest. There are also several blooming peach blossom trees in the courtyard. Pink peach blossoms add some pink brilliance to the yard, as if they are coated with a layer of pink gold edges under the sunlight.
"Our family has introduced it before. These are the aunts around us who will teach you the rules of the palace in the future. They are preparing to divide the room according to our family's name." Eunuch Liu's eyebrows were white to the end, but they didn't look particularly old. He read his name in a shrill voice: "Liu Meiyan, Bai Lingshandong's first room, Lin Fanger, Song Zijindong's second room..."
The beautiful girl who read her name came to her own boudoir under the leadership of her aunt. She thoughtfully took the hand of her same room and took the lead in showing her intimateness. She raised her head high and looked down, twisted Yang Liu's waist and followed her aunt closely.
"Yao Yulu, Ji Shuidong West's second room, Song Jinzhi, Wang Shuzhen West's second room."
Hearing Mr. Liu's words, Yao Yulu and Ji Shuidong held their hands happily. It was not easy to have one or two people in this deep palace. Yao Yulu looked at Ji Shuidong's immature face with a simple smile. She had not seen that kind of heartfelt joy for many years. She was a little envious of the beautiful girl in front of her. Even if he comes from a humble background, it can be seen that he is the pearl of his parents' palms. He was born with such bright teeth and bright eyes, clever and simple.
"Four beautiful girls, I am Lv Panxiao, the master of etiquette and education. In the next few days, you will learn the rules of etiquette and education. If you have any questions, you can come to me. I will be responsible for your living. However, the status in the palace for the first time is very small, and there is no exclusive maid of honor. Please take care of it."
The woman who spoke is a little older, estimated to be 22 years old, and her appearance is not very outstanding, but when she looks at it carefully, she is a little special, not like rouge powder, as elegant as orchid, and her thin eyebrows are like the raised willow leaves. The color on her lips is not bright but looks very good. Her rotating eyes are shining, a lotus color. The cloud ribbed long skirt, slightly decorated with silver silk embroidered orchid gauze, is very comparable to people. Her words are of some weight, and she seems to warn all the girls to remember their identity at this moment, regardless of whether he is a phoenix or returning to the people's home to be a family.
"Little girl Song Jinzhi met Aunt Lu in this box first." A girl came forward and was slightly blessed. She was wearing a mopping white peony loose flower and grass green skirt, dressed in gold and green smoke gauze, her black hair was tied into a tall beauty bun, and a jasper phoenix hairpin was inserted. The quiet and beautiful between her eyebrows could not hide the beauty of the girl. The exquisite dress was not match Yao Yulu. Down.
Song Jinzhi? Yao Yulu seems to have heard the name from nowhere, but it is not surprising that the dress and temperament in front of her should be outstanding. The girl's eyes are just right, which is worthy of the magnificent and elegant face.
The four people followed Lv Fangxiao to their residence. The door of the west room was carved from mahogany and pasted window paper. They pushed the door in. There was a brown wooden bed on both sides of the house. It was not made of fine wood, but it was exquisite in workmanship. There was a sandalwood table in the middle, and the four legs were carved with vines. It spread all the way to the table.
"Please pack up early tomorrow morning. I will wait for a few girls in the front yard. Tomorrow we will learn some simple palace etiquette. In the past few days, I will ask a few girls to do a little here. If you need anything, just come to the west wing to find me. Today, I will withdraw first. There is a maid in the other living room. She has just been called by the usual promise of the courtyard and will come soon. Lv Pangxiao stood in the middle of the yard and explained slightly.
Several beautiful women answered one after another, and Lv Panxiao hurriedly retreated when he saw that it was getting late.
"The little girl's name is Wang Shuzhen. She is 14 years old and comes from Ancheng. Her father is now an official in the court. He also asked Sister Yulu and Sister Jinzhi for more advice." This girl named Wang Shuzhen is still young and not beautiful. At first glance, there is nothing special about her. Gorgeous clothes and heavy jewelry add a little rouge. She seemed to have already been familiar with the details of the people present, and she couldn't help but surprise her meticulous thoughts. But as soon as she said this, she threw Ji Shuidong aside, which made people feel a pimple in her heart.
