Fast Travel: 108 Ways to Repair Heaven

"Don't worry." Smiling, Zhuo Yan propped his chin with one hand and looked at the backs of Cai's father and daughter shopping diagonally across the street: "The aura of the protagonist is not infinite, nor is it omnipotent... In a world with so many protagonists, if pure If you rely on the protagonist's aura to overcome all difficulties...hehe"

Hearing this, Sui Han raised his eyebrows and didn't speak. He already understood the meaning of burning flames - the protagonist's halo is of course a good thing, but unless it is a Mary Su world that was born around the protagonist, the halo of each protagonist must have a limit , just like a water pipe, the amount that can burst at one time and the total burst time are fixed and will be used up.

For example, Wu Jiaojiao's death was constantly in danger of death, so the halo on her body continued to explode, and she hardly saved herself, and she did not work hard on her own. Everything was obtained by consuming the halo... So when When the fire burned the city, the halo on her body finally couldn't save her even if she tried her best.

And now Cai Zhu'er's situation is also similar. This rumor incident would have had a fatal impact on her. Legend has it that walking is enough to make a low-status merchant woman pay her life or even die.

But relying on the forcible outbreak of the protagonist's halo, Cai Zhu'er is not only no longer affected by the rumors, but even her social status has risen to a higher level, and she has become a well-known blessed person. Go to a more valuable target... such as a prince.

……

…………

A few days later, the prefect's family's spring banquet was held as scheduled.

Different from the plan, because of the arrival of the imperial envoy and the prince of Ming, the spring flower viewing banquet originally held and attended by the female relatives turned into a large-scale formal banquet held at the magistrate's home, and more people attended than originally estimated several times.

To put it simply, if it is the original spring banquet, the host is the magistrate's wife, and all the ladies come from all families except the wives at home, and the venue is also in the prefect's wife's small garden.Some of these guests, such as the Cai family, who are not of high status and do not have a hostess, are mostly sent to the door by their father and brother, and then go in by themselves.

But a formal banquet is different. A formal banquet means that the inviter will be the prefect and his wife, and the invitees are no longer limited to the female relatives, but include the whole family of the invitees: father, present, daughter and son. The venue must also be held in the main hall of the magistrate's house - only such a regulated banquet can the imperial envoy and King Ming appear at the banquet legitimately.

Just after noon that day, horses and chariots came to the magistrate's mansion one after another. Generally speaking, the two types of guests with lower status or with a good relationship with the host's house will arrive earlier. The former is to show respect, and the latter The latter is to show kindness.

As an ordinary wealthy businessman like the Cai family, of course he must be among the first guests to arrive, and he will arrive late when the more valuable guests arrive.

Getting off the blue cloth car, Master Cai respectfully handed over the invitation letter to the porter at the gate of the magistrate's government office. Pearl let them in through the gate.

As soon as you enter the door, there is a beautifully carved screen wall facing the gate. After you go around, you can see a male servant and a woman waiting behind the screen wall. Seeing the guests, the servant greets Master Cai. The mother-in-law blessed Cai Zhuer with a smile, and led them towards two directions respectively.

Cai Zhu'er looked bewildered, but she didn't dare to show her timidity. She pretended to smile calmly at the woman, and then left.After walking a few steps, she noticed that two servants, a man and a woman, were already standing behind the screen wall, bowing down and waiting in the same place again.

Cai Zhu'er: 【It's really well-trained... But where is this going?Are father and daughter not in the same place? 】Speaking of which, Cai Zhuer has only traveled through time for about five years, and the Cai family is just a merchant. Apart from the different ages, she didn't feel much difference at home, especially in terms of etiquette and rules.

Because of this, she really doesn't understand many rules of this era.

Following the servant girl silently through a long corridor, she saw a small moon gate with a curtain strung with beautiful beads, and there was also a servant woman standing at the door.

The maid who led the way saw the door, and walked a few steps quickly to draw up the curtain for Cai Zhuer. Cai Zhuer stepped over first, but the maid who led the way did not follow after finishing the curtain. She just put down the bead curtain and bowed to Cai Zhuer Then turn around and leave - she has to hurry back to the gate and wait for the next wave of people.

Seeing Cai Zhu'er turning her head to stare at the missing servant girl stupidly, the gatekeeper's eyes flashed with disdain, but in the blink of an eye, she piled up a gentle and kind smile: "Miss, don't worry, I'll take care of you." The little girl is in a hurry today, and occasionally she will make some mistakes, please wait for a while, and she will come soon."

"Oh... um." Cai Zhu'er felt that she didn't understand what the other party was saying, but she couldn't ask further, so she just nodded in a daze, then continued to stand on the spot stupidly, looking around for a while, but There are only jagged rockeries and green trees, and nothing can be seen in the yard, so I have to lower my head boredly.

Fortunately, after standing for a while, a little girl in a bamboo green dress walked over quickly. I saw that she had a straight back, her shoulders, back, and hands didn't move when she walked, she just walked quickly from the waist down, although she was walking , but it walks fast, steady and very beautiful.

When Cai Zhuer saw the maid walking quickly, she realized that she didn't seem to know how to walk like this...

Cai Zhu'er: [I'm sorry, I've been here for so long, I don't seem to have paid attention to the issue of etiquette and manners... The reputation points are all thrown on the appearance and figure, wouldn't it be embarrassing now? 】After all, she is a modern person, and Mr. Cai is a man, so how can she pay attention to how her daughter goes?So she knew that the moment she stood here, she realized that her loose posture was actually a bit ugly.

The servant girl didn't care what was going on in Cai Zhu'er's mind, she walked up to Cai Zhu'er with a straight face, her left hand clenched into a fist and her right hand was palmed on top of her left hand, her hands were pressed between her belly and chest, her eyes drooped, her left leg Wei Qu squatted down firmly and said to Cai Zhuer: "Miss Wanfu, servant Tweety." After speaking, he maintained that half-squatting position and did not move.

"Uh... oh, hello, no, Wan... Well, Wanfu, get up quickly." Cai Zhuer panicked for a moment. She had maids, but those maids around her had never done this to her before. The gesture made her panic, and at the same time, she also complained in her heart why her father didn't let her bring the maid.

The maid who called herself Cui'er rolled her eyes covertly before she raised her head: 【What kind of uneducated woman is she? It's just that she stands loose and ugly, and she doesn't know how to salute in return?How can there be someone who shouts blessings to a maid... Strange thing】

Tweety labeled the other party in her heart as a "low-status, vulgar and uneducated weirdo", but when she raised her head, she smiled politely, only seeing the other party's chin, and said with a smile: "Miss, It’s quite early, and the yard is still empty, miss, come with me, and you can choose a good place in the yard.” After saying that, she didn’t wait for Cai Zhuer’s response, turned around and started to leave—she didn’t Don't dare to delay any longer, if there are another guests in a while, she is not willing to have other guests wait or even be unhappy because of this strange thing in front of her.

Tweety walked quickly, her hands pressed on her lower abdomen, her skirt fluttered like waves, her movements were clean and beautiful.

Cai Zhu'er picked up her skirt and trotted along behind her, thinking that she was able to keep up, but she didn't notice the surprised and contemptuous eyes of the maids passing by or standing on duty.

Going left and right on the rockery and stone paths, I finally arrived at a relatively open place - in front of me is an elegant artificial hanging water. There are many water lilies blooming in the underwater pool, and the pool is separated by jagged rocks. A trickling creek about five steps wide is formed under the pool, winding its way to the distance.

Surrounding this exquisite and elegant waterscape, there are flower sheds, swings, stone tables, small bridges nearby, and some small rockery piled up behind it, which is no more than three meters high. There is a small rockery on which two or three people can sit The small and exquisite gazebo is designed to maximize the twists and turns and ingenuity. Every step and every scene is beautiful.

"Miss, let's have fun here, Tweety will leave first." Tweety bowed her knees to Cai Zhuer, turned around and left.

Before Cai Zhu'er had time to say hello, she saw the man dodge three times and twice around the rockery and disappeared... She had to put down her hands happily, and looked left and right while holding her skirt.

After thinking about it, she decided to climb to the gazebo on the rockery first - that place has a relatively better view, and it is not easy to be seen by people on the ground, so it is more hidden and safe.

Do as soon as you think of it, step up to the gazebo, Cai Zhuer sat down in the pavilion, stared blankly and started to contact her system: "System, system, are you there?"

System: "Host, what's wrong?"

Cai Zhuer: "In the mall of the main system...is there any ability similar to etiquette or manners?"

System: "Yes, why did the host suddenly ask this?" I've never seen her interested in these things before, and she was mostly looking at something like "Yingying Qiubo eyes", "Wishing to speak", "Smoky willow slender waist" and so on. The options are drooling, and when he opens the system store later, he always puts such products at the top. As for those knowledge and skills, Cai Zhuer never asked or was interested, so he left them at the end.

Cai Zhu'er: "I just discovered that my fucking manners are not as good as a maid, so how can I outshine everyone at this kind of spring banquet... It's really embarrassing, hurry up and find out if there is anything suitable for me." The product can make me have a decent posture in one go." Fortunately, although I liked the "Shuishui Double Eyes" last time, I haven't bought it yet, and now I still have reputation points left.

System: "Have it at once? I'm afraid it's too late for skills books or training... I can only use templates. There are many templates for manners. Which one do you want?" Compared with books explaining the origins of various postures and movements Or simulation training, the posture template is equivalent to adding a set of fixed action programs in the human brain to ensure that the other party can only make fixed actions, so as to achieve a quick effect.

To put it simply, if you learn etiquette by yourself, you can make various movements when doing the same thing. Even the most elegant lady, if you really want her to squat with her legs crossed, she will It is also possible to squat like that, it's just that her upbringing makes her generally not do it.

But the commonly known template is to replace all similar movements with a fixed shape, such as squatting with legs side by side. As long as you use this template, whenever you do "squat" in the future, you can only squat with legs side by side, because the body will Only this one action will be made.Of course, compared to self-training, this template only takes one second to allow the user to perform the most perfect side-leg side squat ever since.

Cai Zhu'er opened the catalog of the mall that the system opened for her, and felt quite dizzy all at once: [Why are there so many messy movements?Some are modern, some are ancient, and there are so many different poses...how do I choose? 】I'm afraid it doesn't cost 100 million prestige points to buy all of these.

System: "These action templates are all separate. You can click in to observe specific actions... This way the combination will be more free. For example, you can buy three or four for the same action." This will not affect most of the cases. everyday behavior.

Cai Zhuer exploded: "I don't have time to choose slowly now, and I only have more than 1000 reputation points left, which is enough to buy three or four for one action you mentioned..."

The system hesitated for a moment, the screen flickered for a moment, and all the actions on the screen disappeared, leaving only some gift packages named after adjectives: "There are also such kind of discount gift packages, which are classified according to the action style. There are a lot of actions, but because of the style limitation, many actions have only one template, and a few have two... [-] prestige is worth a gift bag, and you can choose this kind of gift bag." He actually didn't want to recommend this gift bag to the host, because... Just think about it, if you can only find fixed movements to do things, how risky is it?

But Cai Zhu'er didn't think so much, or, although she thought about it, she didn't think it was a big problem - the key for her now was to get past the spring banquet, as long as the spring banquet performed well, she would have reputation points It's good to add other actions when the time comes.

Knowing that she didn't have much time and other customers would come anytime, Cai Zhuer quickly flipped through the mall page: "Let me see, these action styles...'Pretty Wanfang'...I'm afraid it's inappropriate, but I just heard it What kind of concubine or queen is suitable for...'Pinpin Tingting'...What does this word mean? 'Luoluodafang'...This is too common, don't...'Graceful'...This should be good, it will be very suitable Girl? That's all."

As Cai Zhuer selected the action package, a radiance that ordinary people cannot see sprinkled on her body. After the brilliance flowed, Cai Zhuer adjusted her sitting posture slightly, and turned into leaning slightly on the gazebo posture.

Two people watching from a distance with Jue Jue:

Sui Han: "Why do I think her movements changed all of a sudden... um... and she looks familiar."

Zhuo Yan: "Is it possible? I think the movements have become better."

Sui Han: "I remember... When the world of mortals was crossing the catastrophe, I met a few courtesans in brothels, and they all seemed to do this kind of action... Leaning on railings or windows or something."

Burning Flame: "... Brothel Oiran? Why did you meet that kind of person?"

Sui Han: "It's normal to meet you, what's wrong?"

Zhuo Yan: "Can you...with a brothel girl...?"

Sui Han: "...do you want to be beaten?"

The author has something to say:

In ancient China, there was actually a lot of attention to etiquette and norms. Most of the current film and television dramas are misleading...

Some readers may ask why Cai Zhuer didn't bring a maid, but it's actually very simple, she doesn't have enough status.Not all guests can bring large and small bags to all hosts' homes. This is actually a kind of thing that requires "qualification".Generally, only when the high-ranking person goes to the home of the low-ranking person, will he bring his own things and multiple servants. The most typical and largest one is Yingshengjia.

Guests with equal or similar identities will bring a personal servant girl to the host's house. This personal servant girl is usually responsible for keeping some valuables, and sometimes she will bring a small package with her, which contains the guest's usual additions and subtractions. Clothes or some valuables such as rewarding purses.

It is inappropriate for a merchant woman like Cai Zhuer to visit a magistrate's house whose status is much higher than hers. It is equivalent to thinking that the magistrate's maid is not as good as that of a businessman like her. Yes, so she can only go alone.

Then Cai Zhuer discovered that her manners and actions were not as good as an ordinary maid... In ancient times, sitting, lying, and walking were all very particular. In ancient times, there was no Internet TV, and everyone had a lot of free time to think about these things every day. The more particular you are, the difference between those who have been trained in etiquette for a long time and those who have never been trained can be seen at a glance.

In the end, Cai Zhuer relied on her words to choose her style, and she obviously chose something that was a little tricky... In fact, in this case, it would be good for her to choose "Luo Luo Da Da Fang", which was a very good word in ancient times.
