Chapter 131 Fudou
The two sisters agreed and discussed a few words in a low way. Mother Zhang looked at Li Xiaoyao and said with a smile, "Fifth master, the head is the same. The clothes in the palace are very exquisite. If you don't give an edict, you can't violate the rules. Fifth Master must wear women's clothes." Li Xiaoyao held his cheeks and nodded. The two sisters were secretly relieved and obedient. Mother Lu continued respectfully, "The second thing is to walk. The fifth master is good at walking everything, but he is lazy and casual. This is a big taboo in front of the emperor." Li Xiaoyao sighed and nodded again. The two sisters were very determined and then said, "In addition to walking, the fifth master has to go through this station, sitting, getting up, blessing, drinking tea and snacks." Li Xiaoyao put down his hands and looked at the two sisters to discuss and said, "Just tomorrow, you don't have to be too serious or so fine. You can do it the day after tomorrow. Don't worry, I will not move when I can enter the palace. If I can't say anything, I won't say anything. If I can sit, I will never stand, and if I can stand, I will never walk."
"Fifth Master, that's not say so. Is there any rule? Even if you sit still, you can see at a glance. There is a big difference between sitting and sitting. The Fifth Master is usually not bad in his behavior, but he is cautious and respectful in his heart and think about the details." Mother Zhang said with a hurry and said with a smile. M Mother Lu hurriedly advised, "If the fifth master can pay attention, tomorrow will be enough. The people in the palace are knowledgeable and their eyes are sharp. The fifth master will work hard tonight to avoid losing the dyness of our house."
Li Xiaoyao looked back and forth at the two, and the two M Mothers were really dedicated.
"All right!" Li Xiaoyao replied with little strength. Mother Zhang and Mother Lu looked happy. Li Xiaoyao looked at the two and suddenly asked, "Has the prince ever been here? If I don't have any rules, I will punish both of you?"
"When I came back to the fifth master, I didn't say punishment. I only said that if the fifth master learned well, he would reward the two slaves and maidservants." Mother Zhang and Mother Lu were stunned and simply lowered their hands. Li Xiaoyao looked at the two and thought about it. They didn't ask more questions. They sighed and ordered, "Let's walk first."
As soon as he took two steps, Li Xiaoyao suddenly stopped and turned to order Haitang: "Go and ask the dog to come in to see me. If there is something urgent, let him do it." Haitang hurriedly agreed and came out to call a little girl out to call someone. Li Xiaoyao called Wisteria in and ordered, "Give me a hundred taels of silver tickets." Wisteria went in and took two silver tickets out. Li Xiaoyao motioned her to put them on the table. While continuing to take elegant steps, he asked, "How much silver is there?"
"Go back to the fifth master, there are still more than 7,700 taels."
"Well," Li Xiaoyao sighed secretly. The silver is really like running water. Unfortunately, it flows out, not in. This seven thousand miles has to pay for the wedding of Tiemu and Shuncai. Su Zicheng said that her salary will be settled every year, and it should be settled next month. If it is less, she will definitely speak. Mr. Liang wrote for her. I have found several good weavers. As soon as they arrive, I have to prepare for the weaving workshop. Should I run this weaving workshop by my own family or find a suitable partner? Why don't you just send dry stocks? This is the best. This weaving workshop will support the family property of the Li family in the future. It is not easy to co-organize with others. Well, the weaving workshop has to take it from Mrs. Fan. The eldest brother is right. He has high expectations for her. There are some things that can't be forced or anxious. Take your time.
Li Xiaoyao walked leisurely, and Mother Zhang hurriedly reminded him, "Fifth Master, you can't shake your sleeves, and your shoulders can't move. Fifth Master, don't be distracted." Li Xiaoyao walked two or three times, sat down and learned to drink tea, and Zhang Gouzi went to the gate of the courtyard to listen to the instructions. Li Xiaoyao took the silver ticket and went to the outer court. He handed the silver ticket to Zhang Gouzi and ordered, "This is 100 taels. You go to find a bigger gold and silver shop and ask them to give them some gold and Fudou, two yuan each. Fudou is solid. Well, go and get a look and send it to me to me. You can't make a stupid picture. Also, it's dark tomorrow. It's necessary before. If it really doesn't work, pay more.
Zhang Gouzi neatly promised to take the silver ticket and did not ask much. After running out for half an hour, he came back with a red gold Fudou. Li Xiaoyao looked carefully. This small pea was extremely simple but simple and cute. Li Xiaoyao nodded with satisfaction and handed the Fudou back to Zhang Gouzi and ordered, "That's it, this is the owner of this family. Be careful." Zhang Gouzi was relieved and ran out to watch people beat the 100 taels of lucky beans. Li Xiaoyao slowly shook back along the corridor. This hundred taels of silver could also beat 50 golden lucky beans, and the day after tomorrow may be all gone. This silver flows out like running water!
The next day, Li Xiaoyao really studied seriously for a day. Mother Zhang and Mother Lu were very satisfied. In the evening, the two said that Li Xiaoyao could pass the test. Li Xiaoyao was so tired that his back pain. He ordered him to carry hot water in and take a comfortable bath. It was dark. Zhang Gouzi sent the bag of golden beans. Come on, he deducted the salary and only hit 48 golden lucky beans. Li Xiaoyao held his hands full and sighed and ordered wisteria to put it in a thicker purse. Mother Zhang and Mother Lu took several maids, opened all the clothes boxes, and picked a jade-colored dark flower short jacket, a silver-patterned butterfly flower skirt, and a silver-patterned gray. The cloak in the rat picked a very simple Ruyi cloud pattern mutton fat jade hairpin to match it. Mother Zhang took it over to show it to Li Xiaoyao and explained with a smile, "The fifth master's identity is not obvious. It's not good to wear too flamboyant clothes. If it's too plain, it's easy for people to look down on it and be rude. Such dark lines are the best. The hundred on this skirt The butterfly is embroidered with silk thread of the same color, which is the most skillful. At first glance, it looks plain, and you can see the difference as soon as you walk around. Although this hairpin is simple, it is just right with the fifth master. The fifth master is clean and his smile is even cleaner. Li Xiaoyao looked at the skirt carefully. As Mama Zhang said, the butterflies on the skirt had to tremble before they could be seen clearly. Li Xiaoyao reached out and stroked the slightly protruding embroidery on the skirt and nodded with a smile.
The next morning, Li Xiaoyao got up to take a bath and wash, combed her hair in front of the dressing table, changed into the clothes picked yesterday, and carefully tied the purse full of red gold beans. Wisteria, Mother Zhang and others circled around her a few times, tied the mutton fat jade Ruyi step, sachets and other things, and carefully cleaned the tassels on the palace. Begonia handed over After months of embroidering a butterfly handkerchief for Li Xiaoyao, M Mother Zhang stepped back a few steps and looked at it carefully before she nodded with satisfaction. Mother Zhang and Wisteria followed Li Xiaoyao out and got into the car in the second door, first went to the gate of King Liang's Mansion, and then went to the gate of the palace together.
Li Xiaoyao got off the car at the gate of the palace with Wisteria's hand. Lv Hua and Lv Feng had already stood in front of the palace gate and waited. Seeing Su Zicheng's car coming, they hurriedly greeted him with a smile. Su Zicheng looked at Li Xiaoyao from the car, then turned around, arched his hand and Lv Hua to salute, and gave up Li Xiaoyao with a smile. He said, "This is Xiaowu."
Li Xiaoyao bent his knees meticulously and saluted him with a smile. Lv Feng stood behind Lv Hua and looked at Li Xiaoyao with admiration. Xiaowu looked really good in this dress!
Lv Hua bowed halfway, straightened up, and looked at Li Xiaoyao sharply, but his words were extremely polite: "It's a pleasure to meet you. The fifth master is elegant. He really lives up to his reputation and has been admired for a long time." Li Xiaoyao smiled gracefully with a gentle face, lowered her eyes and bent her knees. As an elegant and gentle weak woman, she can not greet him! Su Zicheng looked at Lu Feng, who looked at his eldest brother with an excited face, raised his eyebrows, let Lv Hua with a smile, and took the lead in entering the palace gate.
The warrior standing at the gate of the palace stood straight and did not squint. Li Xiaoyao thought about Mother Zhang's teaching again, held his breath and fell elegantly to the end. Through the palace gate, Lv Feng turned his eyes seriously and glanced around, fell side by side with Li Xiaoyao, and said lowly, "Let's sit together later!" Li Xiaoyao gave him a blank look. How can he and her sit here?
Several little servants who had been waiting in the palace gate hurriedly bowed to see the salute. The leading maid accompanied him with a smile and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, the emperor said that Uncle Lv is not an outsider. Today is a family banquet, set in the Chonghua Hall."
"Hmm." Su Zicheng ignored the attendants and turned around and smiled to let Lv Hua. Li Xiaoyao paid attention around. A 14- or 15-year-old maid bowed to Li Xiaoyao and said in a clear and respectful voice, "Miss Li, the Empress told me to take you to the Juxiu Palace to salute first. Let's go this way." Su Zicheng suddenly turned around and stared at the little servant. The little servant shivered gently and turned to Su Zicheng slightly. Su Zicheng stared at him for a moment and turned to look at Li Xiaoyao and said, "Juxiu Palace is the queen's residence. Don't be rude." Li Xiaoyao bent his knees with a smile. Su Zicheng frowned and watched Li Xiaoyao move forward behind Xiaonei, his eyes full of uneassurance.
Li Xiaoyao followed the little waiter unhurdenly, walked out more than ten feet away, and began to gossip with a smile: "What's your name? How old are you this year?
"Girl, the youngest name is Zhao Xing. She is 15 years old this year." Zhao Xing replied respectfully. Li Xiaoyao looked at him quietly, lowered his voice, and asked carefully, "Are you working in Juxiu Palace? Juxiu Palace is the place where the Empress lives. It must be very beautiful!" Zhao Xing wanted to laugh and took it back: "The little one is the rough eunuch of Juxiu Palace. Of course, the place where the Empress lives is beautiful."
"Is it the most beautiful place in the palace?"
"That's not true. The biggest and most beautiful thing in the palace is the Palace of Mercy."
Really? Then who lives in the Palace of Mercy? What a blessing!"
"Who dares to live in the Palace of Mercy? That's the former queen, which is the place where the first queen lived earlier. Zhao Xing's voice gradually lowered. Li Xiaoyao spit out his tongue and whispered, "Let's say something else. Well, is the Empress in a good mood today? The first time I went to the palace, I was very scared!"
"How can the little one know this? Although the little one is working in Juxiu Palace, I don't know how many layers away from the Empress, but a bowl of soup was passed in the middle of the night yesterday, and it was designated that the emperor coughed again at night. When the emperor coughed at night, the Empress had a bad temper." Zhao Xing said in a low voice. Li Xiaoyao answered with a smile, took a red gold bean from his purse and stuffed it into Zhao Xing's hand. He said in a low voice, "Thank you. I have to be careful later."
Zhao Xing glanced at the golden light held by Li Xiaoyao's fingertips and only felt heavy in the palm of his hand. His face was full of joy. He hurriedly nodded and thanked him, and attentively let Li Xiaoyao go all the way into the Juxiu Palace.
