Dong Gong Mei

Chapter 24 The Qualified Lady

Fortunately, Jinxiu served by the Xu family before and knew a lot about the affairs of the eldest princess.

After listening to this explanation, Zhao Xiwei was already prepared.

Grandma Sun has served the Queen Mother for so many years, and she is the most capable person around the eldest princess, so she won't be confrontational.

Combining rigidity and softness, advancing and retreating freely, this is the wise man.

What she didn't expect was that this Grandma Sun was completely different from what she had imagined.

Grandma Sun had an oval face, curved willow-leaf eyebrows, a long brown jacket, and a chestnut-colored robe. She was dignified and steady in her actions, not hurried or slow, and even every step was just right.

She bowed her knees and saluted: "Old slave Sun has seen the young lady, and the eldest princess is very concerned when she heard about the young lady's return to the mansion. Thinking that the wedding banquet will be held soon, she specially sent slaves to take care of the young lady."

Sure enough, it is an old man in the palace, with impeccable etiquette and very smart and kind words.

Zhao Xi owed a little to his life, and replied in a proper manner: "My little girl, thank the eldest princess for thinking about it, I should have visited the eldest princess as soon as I returned to the mansion, but this place has not been settled, so I dare not disturb it rashly, and please go back. Afterwards, say hello to the eldest princess for the little girl."

Mammy Sun raised a slight smile and looked up at the person in front of her.

What an alluring look!

I saw that she was tall and slender. Although she was only half a year older than Sister Yan, she was more than a head taller. With Zhao Ziyi.

No wonder Xu Shi couldn't tolerate her so much!

This girl is far better than Sister Yan in terms of appearance and bearing!
With Xu's means, it must be impossible to grasp.

It seems that after returning home, I must remind the eldest princess that this little sister is not as vulgar as Xu said, but a talented person!
Mrs. Xu angrily mentioned it on the way, saying that this girl was arrogant, vulgar, and a master who was used to pinch people, and told Grandma Sun not to let it go.

Mammy Sun thought, when she was young, she was in charge of the etiquette of concubines and concubines in the harem, no matter how domineering and domineering women were, as long as she was taken by the Shangyi Bureau and after some training, who would not be obedient?

Words and deeds, makeup and clothing, meals, bedtime, etc., and so on, aside from the other side, there are dozens of rules for salute alone. After this set of procedures, it is a little wild cat who will show his teeth and show his claws, and he will only be docile and well-behaved. Sheep are normal.

Thinking of this, Grandma Sun's smile became even more kind: "Next month is the wedding banquet, marriage is the most important event in a woman's life, in the remaining days of Miss, you have to work hard. Come and learn, don’t take it lightly.”

"The little girl is very grateful for the guidance of my mother, and she must study it carefully."

Zhao Xi replied with a smile, and led Mammy Sun into the warm pavilion, ordered Jinxiu to serve tea, and said with a smile, "I just moved to the Rose Garden yesterday, and there was no good tea in the house."

His sleeves were lightly rolled, and his hands were slender. He poured tea for Mammy Sun himself, "This is tea made from honeysuckle flowers I picked in the countryside this summer. Seeing that Mammy's mouth is a little peeling, it must be due to the bad weather recently. That's why it's better to drink this."

The voice is soft and tactful, and the speed of speech is not too fast or too slow, and it is like a warbler in the early spring.

A warm current slowly passed through the heart, and Mammy Sun's admiration increased a bit.

This girl, in fact, is a material that can be made!

In the early morning of the second day, there was another white frost in the courtyard.

Mammy Sun's voice was a bit colder than that of Bai Shuang:

"This posture is the characteristic that best reflects a person's identity and upbringing, and it is also the basis for the etiquette of a noble family. If the posture is not elegant and decent, you cannot be regarded as a qualified lady."

A few maids stiffened with stiff smiles. Although it was a cold day, the sweat on their foreheads could not stop dripping down.

They had been standing for almost two hours, their calves were sore and numb, and they were about to tremble.

But Mammy Sun didn't seem to relax at all, she still kept her face straight and kept repeating:

"Head up, chest up, belly tucked in—"

"Head up, chest up, belly tucked in—"

"Head up, chest up, belly tucked in—"

With such an unhurried voice, Mammy Sun's eyes slowly flowed over everyone, and finally stayed on Zhao Xiwei's face.

With a loose posture and a calm expression, he stood for most of the day without even wrinkling his brows.

A hint of admiration appeared in Mammy Sun's eyes: "Sister Wei, you are a tough-minded person, and you will surely achieve great things in the future."

Another incense stick passed, Yin Bao felt that his stomach was so hungry that his stomach was rumbling, and then Mammy Sun said: "Okay, today's training is here. Everyone is hungry, let's go eat first!"

Several maids looked overjoyed, and hurriedly went to the warm pavilion to arrange the dishes and chopsticks.

After eating, the maids brought water, Zhao Xiwei cleaned his hands and rinsed his mouth, and then respectfully said to Mammy Sun, "Xiwei can't thank you enough for getting Mammy's careful guidance."

Mammy Sun nodded with satisfaction and said, "Miss, you are now the eldest daughter of the Xiangfu, so you can no longer be as free and free as you used to be."

"Living in a big family, you have to endure the grievances that ordinary people can't bear, and then you can enjoy the blessings that ordinary people can't. You must always keep in mind that a word or action will cause turmoil in the entire family and even the court. Care about, you must know how to overcome toughness with softness, and use spring wind and rain to solve all difficult things. You must tolerate the weaknesses of others, and at the same time, you must also play your own strengths, so that you can become an excellent hostess. "

Zhao Xiwei's obedient bosom friend was secretly criticizing her for falling out with the Xu family.

It's just that she is not a stubborn person, and she knows that there is some truth to what Sun Mammy said, so she listens to everything.

Change what can be changed, accept what can not be changed.

The eldest princess mainly exerts power. This is something she cannot change. Instead of passively resisting, it is better to choose to face it.

Therefore, after being trained so strictly by Grandma Sun, her heart is very calm and peaceful.

"Mummy taught it right."

"Although you may feel wronged for a while, life is long. Looking at it in the long run, only if a family is harmonious can everything be prosperous, and a country can be at peace in the world. Sister Wei, you are smart and transparent. You can control your own destiny, and you can control your family’s destiny.”

Zhao Xi was startled for a moment.

I thought that Mammy Sun would reprimand her in a fake manner, or try to make things difficult for herself, but she didn't expect that she was really dedicated to her good, and told her some truths about being a person and doing things...

She is not a person who only knows how to be strong, and she is very humbly accepting sincere instruction and exhortation.

Then he nodded earnestly and said obediently, "Thank you for your guidance, my family is prosperous, and the country and the world are at peace. I will keep these words in my heart."
