Ma'am, she only wants to be promoted

Chapter 8

Lu Simo opened his mouth, and drooped his shoulders again. He also had a faint feeling about these things before, but he didn't want to think about them all the time. Hearing Lu Wanning say it so bluntly now, he had to face this matter directly. fact.

Lu Simo was silent for a while, and then said with red eyes: "Sister, I understand what you mean, but you obviously don't want to enter the palace!"

Lu Wanning smiled and stretched out her hand to rub Lu Simo's head, and said: "In the beginning, I really didn't think about entering the palace, and I didn't want to enter the palace, but now I want to enter the palace."

"Sister, stop coaxing me." Lu Simo muttered, "I'm not a child anymore, how can I believe that my sister suddenly wants to enter the palace."

Lu Wanning shook her head, she really didn't coax Lu Simo, she is indeed willing to enter the palace now, she already figured it out, without her father and elder brother, Zhongyonghou's Mansion can no longer be her backer, so the only one she can rely on is herself.

Entering the palace is only the first step. What she has to do is to become an existence that is no longer easily manipulated by others, and to become the backer of her younger brother and mother in the Hou Mansion.

Lu Simo looked at Lu Wanning suspiciously, "Sister, are you telling the truth?"

"When did my sister lie to you?"

Lu Simo tilted his head and thought about it seriously, and found that Lu Wanning did not seem to have lied to him, so he believed what Lu Wanning said.

However, the letter returned, but his frown still did not loosen, "But if my sister enters the palace, what will my cousin do? My cousin wrote to me a few days ago and asked about my sister."

"What should I do?" Lu Wanning's face remained unchanged and said, "What does my entering the palace have to do with my cousin?"

"Didn't sister get engaged to her cousin before?" Lu Simo said.

"Don't talk nonsense." Lu Wanning scolded softly.

"I'm not talking nonsense." Lu Simo muttered, "I know that uncle wants my sister to marry my cousin, and my cousin also likes my sister."

Lu Wanning curled up two fingers, tapped Lu Simo's forehead, and said: "There is only a brother-sister relationship between me and my cousin, and nothing else. Although my uncle wants me to marry my cousin, my aunt doesn't like me." , so Mother has never agreed, you can't bring up such a thing in the future, so as not to damage your sister's reputation, understand?"

Lu Simo naturally knows how important reputation is to a boudoir girl. Hearing what Lu Wanning said, Lu Simo nodded hurriedly, "I see, sister, I will definitely not talk nonsense in the future, and I only said this in front of my sister. I have never mentioned it before, that is, I have never mentioned it to my mother."

Lu Wanning glanced at him and said, "You can't mention it in front of me from now on."

Lu Simo nodded, "Well, don't mention it, don't mention it."

Without mentioning it, Lu Simo couldn't help but asked Lu Wanning again, "Sister, do you really not like cousin?"

In Lu Simo's eyes, his cousin is not only a good-looking talent, but also knowledgeable, and his family background is not bad. Such a person should be the ideal husband in the hearts of many women in the boudoir. My sister has met her cousin a few times. Isn't it true? Interested?
Lu Wanning shook her head, "I don't like it."

Cousin is very good, she also had the idea of ​​marrying cousin, but this has nothing to do with liking, she just thinks that cousin will be a good husband, if she really marries cousin, the two of them can maybe get along well Be a couple who respect each other as guests, but this is not like it.

"Ok."

Lu Simo carefully observed Lu Wanning's expression for a while, and found that Lu Wanning didn't seem to be lying. She might really only have a brother-sister relationship with her cousin.

Lu Simo stayed with Lu Wanning for a long time, until she felt sleepy before being driven back to her yard to rest by Lu Wanning.

Lu Simo had only one day off, and he returned to Baiyun Academy in the afternoon of the next day.

Within two days after Lu Simo returned to the academy, Lu Wanning's injured foot healed completely, and the nanny that Mrs. Lin sent to find was also found.

The Lin family sent someone to invite the nanny into the mansion, and then asked someone to call Lu Wanning to meet her.

The Lin family has been staring at Lu Wanning and the Tao family for the past few days, and found that Lu Wanning and the Tao family did not make any small moves in private, and believed in her heart that Lu Wanning was indeed willing to enter the palace.

After Lu Wanning went to Jifutang to salute Mrs. Lin, Mrs. Lin said to Lu Wanning, "This is Madam Deng. She stayed in the palace for more than 20 years during the late emperor's time. She is very clear about the etiquette rules in the palace. I specially invited her to teach you."

When Lu Wanning entered the door, she saw Aunt Deng sitting on Lin's right hand.

Aunt Deng looks about 50 years old, wearing a blue dress, the material of the clothes is not particularly good, but the ironing is very smooth, without a single wrinkle.

His hair was neatly tied up in a bun, with a silver hairpin inserted. He had a serious face and sat there with his back straight. One could tell that he was a stern and extremely well-behaved person.

Lu Wanning slightly knelt towards Madam Deng, "I've seen Madam."

Aunt Deng accepted Lu Wanning's gift without changing her expression, and at the same time looked Lu Wanning up and down carefully, nodded slightly, "Fifth Miss, don't be too polite."

Seeing Lu Wanning bowing to Madam Deng, Lin frowned, but didn't say anything.

After the two of them greeted each other, Mrs. Lin said to Lu Wanning: "Nurse Deng can enter the mansion tomorrow, you go back and tidy up a place for Nurse Deng in your yard, and Nurse Deng will be here for a while. Living in your yard, I will personally guide you on palace rules and etiquette, you must learn from Madam Deng, and you must not slack off, remember?"

"Yes, grandma, Wanning will remember." Lu Wanning replied.

When Lu Wanning came out of Jifutang, she bumped into Lu Wanyi who hurried to Jifutang face to face. Seeing Lu Wanning, Lu Wanning asked angrily, "Why are you here?"

She heard people say that Mrs. Lin had invited a nanny from the palace to teach the girls in the mansion etiquette, so she came here in a hurry, just to be the first to see the nanny, but she didn't expect that she would meet Lu Wanning from Jifutang come out.

Lu Wanning glanced at the menacing Lu Wanyi, her heart turned, she smiled and said, "Of course my grandmother asked me to come."

"Grandma called you?"

"Of course." Lu Wanning said: "The nanny that my grandmother invited for me has arrived, so why don't I come and see the nanny?"

Lu Wanyi grasped the words in Lu Wanning's words, and asked angrily: "What is the nanny invited for you?"

Lu Wanning said with an innocent face: "It's the nanny who was invited for me. Nanny Deng only came to the mansion to teach me the rules and etiquette in the palace alone. Didn't she invite me for me?"

"How is it possible?" Lu Wanyi called out, "You're talking nonsense."

"I'm not talking nonsense." Lu Wanning finished with a smile, stepped over Lu Wanyi and left, and when she passed by Lu Wanyi's side, she said softly, "Sixth sister, I advise you not to compare with me anymore, after all we It will be different in the future.”
