Aunt Gong seemed to notice Wan Qing's uneasiness, she turned her face and smiled, but did not say anything to comfort her.
As the ancients said, you eat without talking and sleep without talking. So everyone had lunch extremely quietly, and Grandma Gong's smile never faded.
After taking a short rest, Mrs. Zuo took Wan Qing and Aunt Gong back to the small courtyard where Wan Qing lived.
Aunt Gong patted Mrs. Zuo's hand to reassure her, and then asked Mrs. Zuo to avoid it a little.
"Miss Zuo, Aunt Gong is not a man-eating tiger. Why are you so nervous?" Aunt Gong touched Wan Qing's head and smiled kindly.
Compared with those domineering children, Wan Qing is very special. When other children see that she is a grandma, they all look indifferent or unwilling to obey. Only this child respects her from the bottom of his heart.
, for fear of making a mistake.
Wan Qing smiled sheepishly and said, "Mother Gong is laughing at me."
Seeing Wan Qing admitting her worries in disguise, Grandma Gong also roughly knew Wan Qing's temperament, patted the stool next to her, and said gently, "Come, sit down."
Wan Qing, who was confused, glanced at the stool, then at Aunt Gong, and finally sat down.
Aunt Gong smiled, without any annoyance on her face, but her words hit the nail on the head, "You don't have to be so formal. Your sitting posture must not only be correct, but you must also have a kind of bearing. You are not an ordinary child. You can't just move.
standards, and more importantly, it must be natural. When you move your hands and feet, you must have everyone's demeanor, and you must not lose face."
Aunt Gong did not say any more, but signaled Wan Qing to pay attention to her demonstration. She did it twice slowly before asking Wan Qing if she saw it clearly.
Wan Qing pursed her lips, recalled Aunt Gong's actions in her mind, and then nodded.
"Once you see it clearly, let's try again." Aunt Gong stood up and stood to one side so that she could observe Wan Qing's movements.
Wan Qing followed Aunt Gong's example, but made a mistake in a hurry. She accidentally stepped on the hem of her own clothes and fell down on the stool.
Aunt Gong shook her head secretly. Seeing Wan Qing's sudden redness to the roots of her ears, she couldn't bear to blame her. She comforted her in a low voice and asked Wan Qing to try again.
Wan Qing lowered her head and stuck out her tongue, thinking silently that she had already lost her face. No matter how bad it was, it couldn't be this bad. Let's give it a try.
Unexpectedly, because of this thought, Wan Qing's action of sitting down again satisfied Grandma Gong, "Not bad, not bad. I'm a little more tolerant. Relax a little more. That's right. Come on, try again."
After receiving the approval of Aunt Gong, Wan Qing also snickered in her heart, but did not dare to show it. However, after meeting so many different kinds of people, the behavior of a little girl like Wan Qing could not be seen through Aunt Gong.
eyes, but Nanny Gong just regarded it as the innocence of a child and would not punish it.
After practicing the sitting posture several times, Grandma Gong felt that it was OK, so she started talking about walking and standing postures.
"I've also paid attention to your walking and standing posture. You don't have a big fault, but you still need to improve." Aunt Gong walked to Wan Qing's side and taught her step by step, "Don't hunch your back. Also, you can't hunch your back."
One is the old problem, naturally. Not only the movements, but also the eyes."
Wan Qing listened to Grandma Gong's words and studied it very seriously. After walking for half an hour, she didn't say a word of hardship.
Aunt Gong taught her while nodding her head. Seeing that the winter sun seemed a bit harsh today, she planned to let Wan Qing go into the house to practice other etiquette, "Come, come from the pavilion and corridor, stand on this stool for a moment."
Stand for a while and then sit down. When you're done, go inside."
Wan Qing nodded respectfully and followed Auntie Gong's instructions.
"Okay. Very good. If you practice more, there will be no problem." Aunt Gong nodded with satisfaction and asked Wan Qing to go back to the house first.
Ordinary children would return to their natural instincts at this time and jump back directly. But Wan Qing, while recalling the teachings of Aunt Gong, walked back seriously according to what she had just learned. Aunt Gong had to stand still.
Shaking his head on the spot, this kid, what should I say?
Back in the room, Mo Xiang immediately served hot tea. Wan Qing smiled at Mo Xiang before taking a sip.
Speaking of tea tasting, this was one of the fun things I had with Sister Qin Yi in my previous life.
In Xiangyilou, in addition to good wine, there is also good tea.
Sister Qin Yi, who was frail, could not drink alcohol. She could only read and taste tea. Su Ling did not like tea, and Sister Lin Yun was a strange woman who drank wine instead of tea. In the end, she had to accompany Sister Qin Yi to taste tea.
On the body.
The two of them once got a tribute tea - Gu Zhu Purple Bamboo Shoots. Although the taste was beautiful, they didn't like it. Instead, they loved the hooded stone flowers.
As a result, the two of them argued about this matter for half an hour, and it became a joke that Lin Yun and Su Ling would mention when they were free.
After drinking this Gu Zhu Purple Bamboo Shoot for a long time, I found it to be particularly delicious. I am afraid that if Sister Qin Yi were around now, she would be so happy that she would shake the fox skin thin charcoal blanket she found to the ground.
"What are Miss Zuo laughing at?" Aunt Gong was also drinking tea. The tea was indeed good, but she was not so happy. She was smiling so much that her eyes turned into crescents.
"No, it's nothing." Wan Qing rubbed her nose and suppressed her smile, "It's just something funny that happened suddenly."
Seeing that Wan Qing didn't want to say more, Grandma Gong didn't ask any more questions and closed her eyes to rest for a while.
The heat caused by being under the direct sunlight was quickly dissipated. Seeing that the old lady was silent, Wan Qing could only sit aside. The stone bench was lost in thought.
As if she didn't expect a little girl to be very patient, Grandma Gong secretly opened her eyes and looked at Wan Qing to see if she was asleep.
Wan Qing happened to turn her head and looked face to face with Aunt Gong. Both of them were shocked.
"Come on, let's continue learning? Or do you want grandma to teach you something else?" Grandma Gong's original plan today was to have Wan Qing learn how to sit, stand, and walk. As for other palace rules, she had thought about it for a few days.
Then teach slowly. If Wan Qing wants to learn something else, he can teach it as well.
"Leave it to Auntie Gong." Wan Qing gave a slight salute and met Aunty Gong's gaze without evading it.
"It's a good idea to leave it to Auntie Gong." Auntie Gong laughed, "You girl is really different. I don't rely on my old age to sell out my old age. I will teach you everything I can! Today I will teach you how to choose these clothes and clothes.
Accessories.”
After hearing what Grandma Gong said, Wan Qing ordered Mo Xiang and Mei Hong to fetch some clothes and accessories.
When Grandma Gong saw it, she frowned and exclaimed, "It's so plain! It's too plain!"
Although I knew that Palace Master Anzhen didn't like fancy things, I didn't expect that even my own daughter would be so plain.
"Half a month later, it will be time for you to enter the palace. The first appearance of your face will determine whether you will be respected in the future." Aunt Gong looked at the clothes in front of her and examined the accessories, "Miss Zuo, please change for now.
Put on this glazed-colored pleated Ruyi moon skirt and let grandma take a look."
Because the weather was cold, Grandma Gong had already closed the doors and windows. Although Wan Qing was wearing a moon skirt, she didn't feel cold inside the house.
"Why are you so thin, kid!" Aunt Gong sighed as she put on a snow-white cloak for Wan Qing, as if she felt a little distressed, "If Miss Zuo feels cold, wear a few more linings underneath.
Clothes. Outsiders can’t see it.”
"Thank you, Aunt Gong." Wan Qing responded with a smile. Because of Qin Yi's relationship in the previous life, she was indeed a little afraid of the cold. With Aunt Gong's words, she can safely wrap herself up tightly when the time comes.
Actually, Wan Qing was thinking wildly while sitting on the stool and letting Aunt Gong comb her hair skillfully.
Mo Xiang and Mei Hong, who were standing aside, immediately opened their eyes and watched, fearing that they might miss something.
