[Quick Transmigration] The Red Chamber abused me a thousand times

Returning from Kunning Palace to thank her, Baochai had to deal with the eunuchs and maids of the palace again.At this time, she had changed her residence, received new clothes and utensils, changed her clothes again, and went to Concubine Shu to listen to the training.

Concubine Shu looked at the maid in front of her who had changed her status, and she had no intention of embarrassing her—this person has passed the bright road in front of her today, and she can be regarded as half of her "natal family".It won't take until evening, and everyone in the palace will know that this woman is personally proposed to be a female official today.Regardless of whether those people know the specific reason or not, this woman has already been labeled as Shangli Palace.

Now that you are the "one of your own" on the bright side, let those people see and pamper them: "Since the empress has a decree to let you take care of the clothes of Shangli Palace, you should be good at learning." It’s been a few days. This matter of clothing can be big or small, you naturally understand?”

Baochai bowed again: "Your servant understands."

Concubine Shu shook her head and said: "Get up. You are someone who will follow me often in the future. How can you kneel and kneel as soon as we meet? Besides, you are also a person of class now, and you should show some of your own bearing." .”

After hearing this, Baochai thanked her again before standing up, waiting quietly for Concubine Shu's order.Concubine Shu looked at her for a while, saw that she had just changed her clothes, and her face was still lightly pink, so she nodded inwardly: It's fine if she's not successful or crazy.

"Bitao, let Nanny Yao follow Baochai." Concubine Shu has already made up her mind, so she won't let Baochai grope alone with a black eye.Baochai didn't know who Yao Nanny was, but Bitao did.Seeing that Baochai was still standing there, she didn't want to let her master's good intentions go to waste, so she pointed out:

"Grandma Yao has been in the palace for more than 30 years. The eunuchs and officials in charge of some face in this palace all want to show face to Grandma Yao. She has a book in her heart, and she is very familiar with etiquette."

The old lady who has been in the palace for more than 30 years is a person who has matured into a mature person. Not only has she lived through the emperor and the current dynasty, but she has also lived through half of the late emperor's harem.Baochai didn't ask how such a person got into the Shangli Palace.What she should do is to thank Concubine Shu first: "Please don't worry, Madam, this servant will definitely learn from Yao Nanny and not embarrass Madam."

Concubine Shu just took it as a joke: "As long as you don't embarrass yourself."

Bi Tao has already heard the tiredness in Niangniang's words, so she took Baochai down to find someone.As long as they saw Yao Nanny's residence in Shangli Palace, no one doubted her status in the palace: she was just a nanny, but she lived in a separate courtyard. There is a small flower bed, and a bunch of grapes. It is just when the new buds are first sprouting, the leaves are not covered, and the mottled sunlight shines through, making people experience some tranquility in this deep palace.

After seeing Yao Nanny's eyes, Baochai felt that Concubine Shu must have placed high hopes on her.Or it should be said that Concubine Shu trusted Lin Ruhai's endorser from the bottom of her heart, otherwise she wouldn't let herself be taught by such a person whose eyes are blank at first glance, and who looks like a cold pool and deep water.

Bi Tao also respected this nanny very much, and she couldn't tell that she was the grand lady in charge of Shangli Palace.I saw that she had just met Yao Nanny, and she was already smiling and leaning down: "Greetings, Mammy. Mammy hasn't come out for a few days, are the little maids serving you with all their heart? Yesterday, my mother said that the roast goose breast Mammy likes it, but it was cold when it was delivered?"

Mother Yao was not offended by Bitao's politeness, and said, "You are too polite. Naturally, what the lady rewards is good, even though I don't need to go to thank you, it is not our duty to be slaves."

Bi Tao smiled again and said, "The little girl already told me when she went back that you, the old man, would have to kowtow to the main hall before she would accept it. The empress said that if you do this again, she won't dare to reward you next time."

Nanny Yao also showed a smile: "Your Majesty is still so considerate. I sent you here today, but what's the matter?"

Bi Taoyin said: "This female official Xue has won the eyes of a saint. Although she was chosen to enter the palace, the Empress Empress also rewarded her with a rank of sixth grade, and she specifically asked her to be in charge of our Shangli palace's clothing and accessories. Thinking about it, I can't let Mrs. Xue stumbling around on her own, so as not to spoil the empress's kindness. This is what I call laboring for you, old man, so let me take care of it from the side."

Bi Tao said this very skillfully, that is, let Baochai learn from Yao Nanny, after all, one is a female official, and the other is just an old nanny who combs herself; Mammy's politeness became a joke.

Nanny Yao raised her eyes and took a quick look at Baochai, before saying, "Even if your mother thinks my old bones are still useful, I'll just follow Mrs. Xue on business."

Only at this time did Baochai have the opportunity to say the first thing he said when he entered the courtyard: "It is Baochai's blessing to be able to learn from Mammy."

Yao Nanny's voice was very calm: "Miss Xue, you are being polite. The slaves are just living in the palace for a long time, and there is nothing worthy of the female officer's learning."

This was the first one to directly reject his overtures.Baochai didn't say much anymore-the days are still long, so why rush for a while.As long as I show my attitude to Concubine Shu today, it will be fine.Bi Tao saw that the two had already connected, so she bid farewell to Nanny Yao.She was the maid in charge, and Nanny Yao did not hesitate to keep her, and let Baochai send her to the gate of the courtyard.

"Ms., you should think about it. Where do you want to learn from?" After Bi Tao left, Nanny Yao asked Baochai what she wanted to learn without saying a word.

Can Baochai know what to learn?She didn't even know her duties as a female officer in charge of clothing.But Mother Yao's questioning like this may not be without testing her intentions, if the answer is not good, it may take a lot of effort.

It is better to hide clumsy than to sell it skillfully.Having made up his mind, Baochai said, "I'm not afraid of my mother's jokes. Up to now, I'm still at a loss. I don't even know what to do with clothes and accessories." Anyway, I came here to learn, so there is no shame in saying I don't know. of.

Nanny Yao nodded in agreement: "It's no wonder you. After entering the palace, you were taught how to obey the palace rules. Even at home, I'm afraid you only learned how to serve others."

Baochai nodded and said, "As Mammy knows, I never thought that there would be such a fortune."

Nanny Yao seemed to have no desire to continue the conversation, she just nodded, and said: "When I get up tomorrow, I will serve my mother for a while, you just watch from the side, and come to this yard after dinner. .”

This is the meaning of seeing off guests.Although Baochai didn't know why what he said just now touched the mother's sore spot, she was not a forceful person, so she bowed to the mother and went back to her room.

This day had a big impact on Baochai, even if she felt that she had hope to complete the task, she knew that she was already an outlier in the palace.Not to mention that the maids who entered the palace in the same batch as him would think they were different, even the maids who entered the palace in previous years would inevitably be jealous.

Even if it is mediocre not to attract envy, but to make the whole group of court ladies jealous, the stumbling block in the dark may be hard to guard against.Fortunately, now that Concubine Shu has found a backer for herself, then only if she hugs Nanny Yao tightly, can she avoid the open and dark arrows hidden somewhere.

Having made up his mind, Baochai went through his response today again in his mind, and felt that there was nothing to be picky about, so he fell into a daze without sleep.

When I woke up the next day, it was still dark.Baochai went out to fetch water by herself, washed up, and then waited outside Concubine Shu's palace: Yesterday, Nanny Yao didn't say when she would arrive, so she couldn't let the master wait for her.

In just a moment, Nanny Yao had already appeared beside Baochai.Before Baochai could greet her, she had already been blessed, which caused Baochai to step aside, and at the same time had to hurry to greet her, appearing a little flustered.Mother Yao probably saw Baochai's sincere respect for her, and the corners of her mouth curved upward slightly.

Before he could speak, the lights in the hall were already on.I saw the people waiting outside, as if they were flicked on a switch, those who opened the curtains opened the curtains, and those who brought hot water brought hot water.Mother Yao took Baochai and went in with the crowd.Bi Tao had already come out of the inner room last night, and she hooked her hand at the other leading lady, presumably as a secret signal.Then he turned around and went back to the inner room.It's just that Baochai didn't know what the code signified, but found that the jaws of the servants were rounded, as if there was a happy event all at once.

Nanny Yao's expression was still the same as when she saw her for the first time, there was no change, but the lightness in that expression could not be ignored.The sound of gargling has already been heard from the inner room, and Nanny Yao has quietly entered the inner room by herself.Baochai has been paying attention to her movements, not daring to be negligent, and the soft-soled shoes keep up without making a sound.

"Greetings to the empress!" It was like how many times I had practiced, and no one turned back, but everyone just bowed down in unison, and the voices of greetings were also very neat.So far, Baochai knows what the weather of Tianjia is - a concubine's position is already like this, how can one imagine the empress and emperor.

Nanny Yao was the first to stand up straight, and the others waited for her to stand up straight before getting up and busying with their own affairs.Nanny Yao waved the towel in the hot water, wrung it dry, and covered Concubine Shu's head sitting in front of the dressing table.After a moment of effort, it was already taken off, and began to work for Concubine Shu.

Concubine Shu laughed and said, "Nurse's method is different from others."

Nanny Yao was not complacent about this compliment, she didn't even change her complexion, she flipped her hands up and down a few times, and a nine-haired bun was formed smoothly and recognizably.Baochai and the other court ladies were all dazzled, unable to imagine how such a complicated hairstyle could be done so easily.

The next steps of drawing eyebrows, drawing eyes, and wiping cheeks were also done smoothly by Nanny Yao.Now she is holding the target mirror, showing Concubine Shu to see if there is anything dissatisfied.Concubine Shu shook her head and said: "Mama, only good ones, who can tell that it's not good."

Only then did Nanny Yao put down the target mirror and began to choose jewelry for Concubine Shu. Before choosing, she gave Baochai a hint from the corner of her eye.Baochai quietly stood closer to Nanny Yao.Grandma Yao first picked up a five-phoenix hairpin, put it gently on Concubine Shu's head and said, "Today is the day to greet the Empress Dowager, the old man likes to be more lively."

Concubine Shu didn't say a word, she was just at the mercy of Nanny Yao, while Baochai kept her steps in mind.While waiting for the clothes to be chosen, Nanny Yao motioned to Baochai again from the corner of her eye, and Baochai memorized the order and color matching of the clothes.

While Nanny Yao was dressing Concubine Shu, the inner room had already been neatly tidied up by the nimble maids. When Concubine Shu went to pay her respects later, the maids were not allowed to enter and leave the inner room at will.Concubine Shu stood up, looked at her whole body, and said to Bi Tao: "Give the right bracelet to Nanny. It's rare that Nanny made a move today."

Yao Momo looked calm: "It's because Lady Xue still doesn't know about clothing and accessories, so the maidservant must let her have a draft in mind first."

Concubine Shu's smile was even wider: "Bitao took another pair of bracelets and gave them to Baochai. If it wasn't for her, I'm afraid she would not come to my house until after the Dragon Boat Festival."

Baochai said in a hurry, but Bi Tao jokingly said, "Ms. Xue has to take care of such a rare decency. If you want to coax the nanny to be happy in the future, come and walk around here twice more, and you can return the good things of your mother." There are many."

This is also because Yao Nanny made a move today, from hair style to clothes, without discussing with others, the time spent was reduced by half compared to the past, so the masters and servants had time to chat leisurely.After Mother Yao and Baochai thanked her for their reward, they withdrew from the inner room and stopped disturbing Concubine Shu's meal.

Nanny Yao walked in front, and Baochai followed her step by step.I heard the nanny ask: "Does the lady understand?"

Baochai said cautiously: "Do you have to handle everything except food and lodging?"

Nanny Yao may feel that these words are somewhat childish, and there is some pointing meaning in the words: "It's just clothes and jewelry. It's just a person's makeup, but it doesn't just rely on clothes and jewelry: what kind of makeup depends on what kind of makeup you need. What kind of jewelry is matched with what kind of clothes are all one. The so-called one way can be mastered, and the reverse is also the same. Only when everything is mastered, can people not feel awkward when they dress up."

This is a matter of experience.Baochai couldn't help but thank Mother Yao again and again, but she just said: "We will get along for a long time in the future, so let's just get acquainted with each other casually. If I say something, you thank me, and this time will be delayed." gone."

When Baochai heard the words, she hurriedly said, "That's exactly what Mammy said. Please don't think I'm clumsy, just call me Baochai."

Nanny Yao pondered for a while, and asked, "Is this your name when you were at home?"

Baochai's heart suddenly jumped, she was also someone who had used maids before, and knew that any master would have the idea of ​​changing the name of a maid.But yesterday, when she first met Concubine Shu, an old purse was destroyed, and she didn't even give her a name.So she asked nervously, "It's my name at home, but what's wrong?"

At this time, he had already entered Yao Nanny's side courtyard, and two young maids came out to pick him up.Baochai didn't know the rules here, so she didn't dare to give money to the two maids rashly, but just followed her into the main room.

After taking a sip of tea, Mother Yao said: "If you are still a court lady, it is not appropriate to use your family name. But now that you are a female official, no one can change your name except the saint and the mistress The mistress has already issued a decree, and the word Baochai has been written on it, so you don't have to worry about it anymore."

Baochai took the tea and took a sip when she heard Mammy Yao say that her name was not in the way.Nanny Yao was not in a hurry to speak, the two of them just drank tea silently.After a while, Nanny Yao said: "The mind is not anxious, as long as you maintain this mind, you will benefit endlessly."

It turned out that it was a small test just now!Baochai thought to herself that she was lucky, just now she was only doing tea tasting because she saw that Yao Nanny was calm and she didn't know where to start.Looking at Nanny Yao again, she became cautious, fearing that there was still a test waiting for her.

Not wanting to, Nanny Yao said again: "Don't make up your mind."

Baochai was alarmed, and her attitude became more and more respectful.Mother Yao shook her head and said, "Everything can go for a long time if you see it as if you have not seen it, and if you hear it as if you have not heard it. How come the calmness just now is gone?"

Baochai hurriedly said, "Please teach me, Mammy."

Nanny Yao just said: "Let's talk about it later. Give me a head first."

Baochai followed the order that she remembered how Yao Nanny gave Concubine Shu's head, and first ordered the little maid to bring hot water.It's just that the water is a bit hot, and it's really uncomfortable to wave the towel, but she can only grit her teeth and bear it.

"Who are you staring and frowning for?" Yao Yao looked a little impatient: "Is there any reason for you to make yourself angry in front of the nobleman? Remember, no matter what time it is, in front of the nobleman, your eyes and face You have to smile first, as if there is some happy event in your family or close people. Don’t say it’s just some hot water, even if it’s a pan of boiling oil, you have to put your hand in it with a smile and then bring it!”

In this way, the towel became cold, hot, wet, and dry, and the strength of the whole head became stronger and weaker. It took a full hour before Aunt Yao let Baochai go back to her room.Unexpectedly, after dinner time, Baochai had no one to serve her, so no one thought of leaving food for her, so she was starving.

Before Baochai could sigh, Hongmei came again and said that it was the empress' order that Shaoyao, who was in charge of the clothes, had to hand over to Baochai once.Having put on a smiling face for more than an hour, and didn't care about the extra time, Baochai immediately responded with a smile: "I don't know where this Shaoyao lives?"

Hongmei made up her mind not to offend her, so she said: "Now I am waiting for the female official in the empress's private treasury, and this slave will lead the female official over."

Baochai thanked her, endured her hunger and came to Concubine Shu's private treasury, where she saw a court lady dressed similarly to Bitao was already waiting there.It's a blessing to see someone, but the knee seems to be bent, and outsiders will only think that Baochai, the female official who salutes to her, is saluting this court lady.Hongmei watched from the side, wanted to say something but held back - she was just a second-class court lady, and couldn't care about the affairs of the first-class court lady.

"Ms. Xue, this is the account book of the private treasury. This is the key. It's all here. Please take it away." Shao Yao handed the things in her hand to Baochai. She was already a few years older than Baochai. , the stature has already grown, such a delivery is even more condescending.

Baochai was not in a hurry to pick it up, but asked, "Even if it's handover, I don't know who has the certificate? Why don't we wait for everyone to arrive and count them together?"

Shao Yao was taken aback, she was not a frizzy person originally, but let a newcomer take away her errand, she couldn't help feeling dissatisfied in her heart, so she wanted to give Baochai a blow at the occasion of the handover.If Baochai is really just naive and ignorant, and forgets everything when she sees the account book and keys, she will naturally have a second hand to use.Now that Baochai is going to meet the witnesses, Shaoyao can't help but calm down: "It's really negligent. Hongmei, go and see why Dujuan hasn't come yet?"

Hongmei responded and went to call for someone. Baochai had already started talking with Shaoyao: "Aunt Shaoyao, I don't know how many parts of the mother's private treasury are divided? Do you put it in the separate place for clothing, or put it together with medicinal materials, cloth and ornaments?" Together?"

Shao Yao heard her question clearly, and thought that this person had already learned from Nanny Yao, so she took her contempt a little further: "Except for medicinal materials, which are stored separately, everything else is stored in one warehouse. It’s just roughly divided.”

Baochai said: "Your Majesty only let me take care of the clothes and accessories. I don't think the cloth and ornaments need to be handed over together." I just divided your power, not seized your power.And this is what the empress ordered, you shouldn't take your anger on me.

Who can be a grand lady, who is not a refreshing figure?Needless to say, Baochai, Shaoyao has already realized that she has targeted the wrong person.But the empress is a person who only gives orders, and the way she vented her anger just now made a newcomer into the palace laugh at her.Fortunately, only the two of them are here now, Shao Yao just smiled: "The female officer can see clearly."

Seeing that Baochai knew her tricks, she had no intention of delving into it. She always wanted to serve people in the palace, so why make enemies.In just a few words, Du Juan arrived.The three of them opened the storeroom, and saw that there were mountains, seas, and things everywhere, and there were a few small aisles in the middle, and they could roughly distinguish between cloth and silk, ornaments, clothes for the four seasons, and jewelry. .

This is not the time to be too cumbersome, no matter whether Shaoyao and Dujuan are willing or not, Baochai will always look at the account book, see the same thing, and check the same thing, if there is something on the account but not the real thing, Shaoyao will definitely remember where he went, and then with her. The two of Du Juan drew and wrote off the account together before finishing the calculation.

In this way, it was not until lunch time that I just counted the clothes of the four seasons.Baochai was so hungry that she had to lock up the warehouse together with the local people, and made an appointment to count things together after the empress took a nap in the afternoon.Shaoyao didn't want Baochai to be so serious, so she had to take back her contempt, and only hoped that she wouldn't be so careful in the afternoon.

When Baochai returned to the house, she saw a little maid waiting in front of Nanny Yao holding a food box, which made her a little surprised.I heard the little palace lady say: "Hello, lady. Mammy is afraid that she will be busy in the morning and miss her meal, so she specially asks me to bring the meal back for the lady."

Unexpectedly, Nanny Yao knew that she was starving in the morning, Baochai said a little embarrassedly: "I've worked for you. Go back and thank Mommy for thinking about it for me. It's just that I have something to do in the afternoon, so I'm afraid I won't be able to go to Mommy until later. "

The little palace lady said: "The mother said, let the female officer just focus on her own work. Even if it is an inventory of the warehouse, there is no effort. Sharpening the knife does not miss the skill of chopping firewood. It is the best thing for the female officer to know in her heart."
