Mighty and Majestic Concubine Wan Gui

During the day, Master Zhang went out to play.When it's time for dinner, Zhang Fu: "Master, who will you send to explain etiquette to her?"

Zhang Shouyi snorted: "It's not about meeting the emperor, but also performing rituals and dancing. On the way to the palace in the morning, our family can teach her a few words."

Dinner is mainly steamed snapper.

Mix the fine powder of ginseng, Atractylodes macrocephala, Poria cocos and amomum with fermented glutinous rice, wrap it on the fish, and then wrap it with a layer of fresh lotus leaf and steam it. After steaming, remove the outer layer and eat the fish.

Just for steamed fish with lotus leaves, which he loves to eat, he specially burns a brazier in the house and raises bowl lotus in a large water tank.

As for other kelp pork blood soup, scrambled eggs with carrots, dim sum, and fried quail, there is no need to elaborate.

Zhang Fu asked differently: "Why, the master wants to take her in the sedan chair?"

Zhang Shouyi glanced at him: "What's the matter, should we give her a horse to follow her, or give her a sedan chair?"

Zhang Fu smiled and leaned over: "The master is thoughtful, and he made fun of the villain. The villain didn't turn his head around for a while, and didn't think clearly."

"Hmph, it's not your fault. Do you know what people say about our family?"

"The villain has heard a little bit. I heard that Li Ye, Wang Ye, and Sun Ye are talking about you in secret, saying that you have no women or children here, and it is a monk temple."

"Bah! A bunch of stinky mouths!"

Zhang Fu continued to coax: "Master, I think this is not bad."

"Monks and eunuchs cut off children and grandchildren, what's so good about it? They have the face to criticize me, as if they've made a cub."

Zhang Fu almost laughed aloud: "Master, you are a decent person, you don't usually go to those dirty places, and you haven't watched "The Sea of ​​Monks and Nuns". You don't know, if the monk in the storybook is not the evil ghost in Huali He is the devil king in that color, definitely not a kind person."

Zhang Shouyi thought about it carefully for a while, is this fucking scolding me or complimenting me, or pretending to compliment me but actually calling me bad character?

Wan Zhen'er ate meat buns in her own room, brushed her teeth with blue salt and a toothbrush after eating, and wandered around the room twice.This is not a guest room, but an ordinary wing room, and a new set of bedding was temporarily laid on the kang for her.

There was no dust on the table, only the water marks left by wiping. On the flower table, there was some dust on the Jun Kiln Cowpea Red Garlic Bottle, and the Jun Kiln Kiln Cowpea Red Tianqiu Bottle opposite her had more dust. Probably because of the proximity to the window.

In the huge Zhang Mansion, I couldn't find a nurturing nun to tell her the rules of entering the palace. Zhang Shouyi was different from other eunuchs. He didn't flirt with the court ladies in the palace, and he didn't support actors and courtesans when he came out of the palace, so he didn't need to support the palace. The nuns come out to discipline the women.He has no conditions to exercise power, and when he leaves the palace, he just eats fast at home and prays to Buddha.

The judges are about to ask, he ate duck yesterday, crab during the day, and fish at night, how can he be said to be vegetarian?

No one dared to ask this question, even if asked, Master Zhang would explain: "Ducks are three clean meats, but fish and crabs can't scream, so they are not living things."

If you want to ask again, just grab him and beat him up.

Zhang Fu ordered a woman who was cleaning vases in the backyard and watching the warehouse to serve her for half a day: "I'm so good to serve you, I will reward you tomorrow."

"Hey! Thank you for your reward!"

Zhang Fu stroked Wan Zhen'er's short hair again, her head was like a little fur ball, her hair was sticky, which was different from other girls. "Miss Wan, rest early. The master will get up at the beginning of Yinshi and prepare to enter the palace. You have to get ready early."

Wan Zhen'er was already so sleepy that she was about to fall asleep, she tried her best to open her eyes wide: "Okay, don't worry, I will be ready."

She didn't sleep all day, and she was sleepy very early at night.

When he went out, he told the old lady who watched the night: "Be alert, call Wanjie to get up at the end of the ugly time, and prepare the water early."

"Yes, butler, don't worry, old man."

At the end of the ugly hour (three o'clock in the morning), it was still dark in the sky, and there was just a little bit of light, and the belly had not yet turned pale.

The night watchwoman came into the house with a candle and woke Wan Zhen'er who was soundly asleep: "Wake up, don't sleep, it's the end of ugly time! If you sleep again, you will become ugly."

Wan Zhen'er rubbed her eyes and got up: "So fast~yawn~"

The old woman put the candle on the table: "Dress yourself, don't expect my old lady to serve you." After speaking, she twisted her buttocks and went out.

Wan Zhen'er curled her lips, but didn't take her seriously, fumbled expectantly and excitedly, put on clothes slowly, and combed her hair diligently.Although it is only a small hairball less than an inch long, it will look more energetic after combing it hard - stroke the temples to look gentler?

Zhang Shouyi got dressed, drank a bowl of cheese, and ate a few pieces of sweet ginger: "Is the little girl awake?"

At this point, all the civil and military officials are ready to go to court, and the empress will get up soon, so I have to go back early to serve.

If you can be successful, you should get up.But, these little girls who are pampered by their parents, hmph, can't get up in the morning, cry and miss home at night, they are very useless.

The woman who was sent to wait on Wan Zhen'er carried a lantern and led her to the front, just in time for Zhang Fu to send someone out to ask.She quickly replied with a smile: "Here, come, housekeeper, Miss Wan got up early, so she came to take care of her."

Wan Zhen'er trotted all the way to follow this woman, her face was flushed, and she was a little out of breath: "Greetings to the master." When I was at home, I used to say hello to my father, so I didn't have to run so far.It's so far away, his yard is so big, and he's so happy to run.

The sedan chair was parked inside the second gate. It was cold recently, so the bamboo curtains were replaced with thick cotton curtains, and thick and soft cushions and carpets were spread inside.

It was very dark, and two young servants held up big lanterns to illuminate the road between the main hall and the sedan chair.

The lantern is made of bamboo, covered with white paper, with the words "Zhangfu" and "Be careful walking in the water" written in Song Dynasty.

Zhang Fu: "Master, she has come."

Only then did Zhang Shouyi take a high look at her in his heart. Whether a person is smart or not is second to none. The most important thing is to control himself and be diligent.He didn't say anything: "Let's go." This time, he was wearing green woven gold makeup, flower flying fish over shoulders, a jade belt around his waist, and white-soled official boots. In a big sedan chair carried by four people.

Zhang Fu hooked Wan Zhen'er and said with a smile, "Miss Wan, get on the sedan chair and talk to the master on the way."

If you can make the master happy, it will be much smoother in the palace in the future.If the master finds out that there is something wrong with you, he will avoid being found inappropriate by others after recommending you to the empress.

"Yes." Wan Zhen'er agreed crisply, quickly walked to the front of the sedan chair, and stepped up cautiously.

The sedan chair board was very strong, and the deck-like seat was facing the door. Zhang Shouyi leaned on the soft cushion, and there were square pillows on both sides for resting his hands.

Zhang Fu handed in a cloisonne hand stove and a buckskin cushion: "There is frost on the leaves today, master, please take your hand warmer. Put the cushion aside for later use."

He also handed Wan Zhen'er a bundle: "Jia Gui brought your bag here, and I decided to add a few things for you. You go into the palace and be obedient when you're done. Don't lose the master."

Wan Zhen'er is a little confused about this relationship, how can I embarrass Master Zhang?It's okay if you don't understand.

She pretended to be serious and agreed.

Zhang Fu asked the servant to put down the curtain: "Get up the sedan chair."

Zhang Shouyi held the hand stove with a few pieces of plum blossom cakes in his hand, and began to close his eyes and meditate.

Wan Zhen'er didn't speak, and stood on the soft carpet, staring at the patterns on the carpet first, and then curious, how could the sedan chair be so stable because of how many people carried it?It is more stable than my father carrying me, without any ups and downs.

She didn't know that these porters had been trained to carry the housekeeper before carrying the lord, and put a bowl of water half full on the ground. They walked five miles back and forth and passed seven or eight thresholds. This bowl of water was not allowed to be spilled.

Seeing that she was calm, Zhang Shouyi twisted his body and wanted to peek out secretly, but he didn't pull the curtain, and he didn't sit down without asking. "Sit down, sit on the pedals."

There was still nothing to say all the way, when we arrived at the palace, the emperor had already got up, and Empress Sun was dressing up.

Five or six little fire fighters gathered around to wait on Grandpa Zhang, serving him meals, wiping his face and hands, combing his hair and applying powder.

Zhang Shouyi stuffed sachets into his sleeves so that the fragrance would flow out along the cuffs as he moved his hands and feet, and painted some lip balm on his lips to make him look better.Take the time to say: "Take this girl to eat in the next room, let her eat well, and go to see the empress in good spirits. Don't bully her, tell her what the empress likes."

He got up and went out, another eunuch pretended to come in, with a smile on his face: "Oh, my Grandpa Zhang, you came back early enough, you have finished your meal? What are you in a hurry, your mother just got up, why don't you come back?" I didn't ask you to serve me."

Zhang Shouyi said righteously: "Chen You, what do you call this? It's our family's duty to serve your mother. Whether your mother calls or not, our family has to wait. Our family is not like you. There is no work in your eyes. nothing."

Chen You smiled happily: "What am I talking about? Good words. My mother ordered me to choose thirty young girls as candidates, and I have chosen them all. Ten of these twenty girls will be selected to stay in the palace. Here, being disciplined by Aunt Wang, tsk tsk tsk."

Aunt Wang has to report to the empress from time to time, and the empress has to think about me all the time.

Don't think that you are the steward brand now, as the saying goes, the steward brand will be done in turn, and you will come to my house next year.

Zhang Shouyi smiled strangely: "Aunt Wang is the strictest. The people you sent are just village girls who were sold by parents for food. If they are too stupid or honest, don't implicate you."

While eating, Wan Zhen'er listened to Little Huo Zhe saying that the empress likes smart and strong eunuchs and court ladies, she doesn't need to be beautiful, but she must be crisp and sharp, and a person must have a good spirit.The Empress hates Empress Hu and Concubine Wu Xian outside the palace the most, and she doesn't want anyone surnamed Wu or Hu.The empress likes lively children, but she can't do it if they are too noisy.The empress has a gentle temperament. Sometimes she gets angry and forgets in a blink of an eye.

Just as she was talking, she heard a quarrel next door, Wan Zhen'er asked in a low voice: "Brother, tell me, who is this arguing with Master Zhang?"

The little fireman also picked up the rice, and hurriedly ate Zhang Shouyi's leftover dishes. There were so many leftovers that he barely moved his chopsticks for several dishes.Another Xiaohuo said: "That's Chen You, Zichou Yinmao's You. He is the number three celebrity in front of the empress. He often overestimates his power and competes with our Grandpa Zhang. He doesn't even look at his own face." Jingba's face, there are so many creases that it looks like a shortbread has been shaken open and flattened."

Several people snickered.

Zhang Shouyi straightened his belt, adjusted his black gauze crown, and hurried over to serve his empress.He had an excellent idea in his heart, and he would definitely overwhelm Chen You, hehehe.What you brought was bought with three or five taels of silver, and what I brought was a painting that was sent to my mansion for three to five hundred taels.

No matter how many people you bring, it's still stinky shit, piles of stinky shit, but what I brought is a baby.
