Chapter 17 Roommate
The car stopped for more than an hour, and a majestic female voice rang:
"Girls, get off!"
Li Qing lifted the curtain of the car, stepped on the couch and got off the car, turned around and took the makeup box and hugged it in his arms, carefully looking around: This was a huge yard, with a flat and hard floor and extremely smooth one. The red wall was at least ten feet high, and the yellow glazed tiles looked rich and majestic in the sun. This should be a palace courtyard. More than a dozen identical green oil and green two-wheeled vehicles were parked in the yard. After a while, more than a dozen dressed girls who were dressed up from the car were all holding the makeup box and standing in the yard curiously and timidly.
A nanny wearing a dark blue dress with extremely smooth hair, fair face and majestic expression stood in front of the car, clapped her hands and said:
"Okay, girls, stand in a team and follow me."
More than a dozen girls stood in a team in a panic, and Li Qing also stood in the middle in a regular manner. The group followed the nanny, walked through the moon cave gate, and walked forward.
Li Qing lowered his head slightly and looked around carefully. This was a huge garden with flowers and trees and towers and pavilions. The group of people walked forward, walked through a flower corridor with blooming roses, walked along the lake for a while, and turned into a two-in-one courtyard.
As soon as the courtyard entered the door, there was a veranda on both sides, connecting the wing rooms and three main rooms. There were moon cave doors on both sides of the main room, leading to the backyard. Two nannies, who were also wearing dark blue dresses, stood in the yard with a serious expression. The nannies who brought them in came forward to see the gift, took a piece of paper from their arms and handed it over:
"Madam Wang, there are sixteen in this group."
The nanny on the left took the paper and glanced majesticly at the dozen girls standing in the yard in a panic. After a while, she spoke in a steady and distant tone:
"As a female official, the most important thing is to follow the rules. When walking, sitting and lying down, you must follow the rules. In the past few months, you must carefully learn the rules and etiquette with all the nannies, and you must not make any mistakes!"
The girl in the yard agreed in a scattered voice. Madam Wang frowned slightly and continued:
"Every day, we start washing and changing clothes, and breakfast is in Mao, and class is in the second half of Mao, lunch is in the second half of Wu, class is in the second half of Wei, dinner is in the last half of Shen, and lights are out at the end of Xu. But have you heard it clearly?"
The girls agreed, and Madam Wang turned around and asked the nanny next to him to take them in. Madam responded and took them through the Yuedong Gate and into the inner courtyard. There were houses with eaves on three sides of the inner courtyard, three rooms on the front and four rooms on both sides. There were wooden signs at the door, marking the room number with ten heavenly stems from A to Gui. On the east side is A, on the west side is B, on the east side is B, on the east side, on the west side, from Geng to Gui, the door of the room in the middle of the front is open, without a mark.
Li Qing was looking at it, and then he heard the nanny in front of him chanting his name:
"Yang Yuzhu, the daughter of Yang Xianhao, the fifth-rank doctor of the Qing official in Hebei Province of the Ministry of Revenue, was the first room of the Jia family."
A tall girl with a tall nose and thin lips and a proud look walked out and entered the main landlord's wing.
"Li Qing, the daughter of Li Yunsheng, the fifth-rank doctor of the Qing official, was in the Ministry of Rites, and the No. 1 room."
When Li Qing heard that he called his name, he lowered his head slightly, held the makeup box and entered the west wing of the main room.
In Room B, a girl was already sitting on the innermost bed. Seeing her coming in, the girl stood up, smiled and stepped forward a few steps, bent her knees and blessed her blessings. Li Qing also quickly replied, squinted her eyes and looked at her: she was so delicate and shaped, with a full moon, with a handsome eyebrow and a slightly raised corner of her mouth, and she seemed to be smiling. The girl was also looking at her up and down, and Li Qing said shyly:
"I am Li Qing, the daughter of Li Yunsheng, a doctor of the Qing official department of the Ministry of Rites. I am fourteen years old this year. Who is my sister?"
The girl replied with a hurried smile:
"My name is Meng Shuipei, the daughter of Meng Junde, a member of the Ministry of Works. She is eighteen years old this year. My sister's voice sounds so nice! Let's choose these four beds first."
Seeing that her makeup box had been placed on the innermost dressing table, Li Qing chose the closest place to the door and put down the makeup box. He turned around and looked at it. The room was very large. There were four elm beds on the east side, all of which were hung with the same summer cloth tents. There were thin quilts on the bed, small round porcelain pillows, and a small dressing table on the bed. There were four small wardrobes on the west wall to the north. There were four small wardrobes on the south side, and Zhang Banyuan tables on the table with teapots and tea cups on the table. Meng Shuipei was standing in front of the table, pouring a cup of tea and delivering it to Li Qing:
"My sister has worked hard all the way, so drink a cup of tea and take a break."
Li Qing hurriedly bent his knees and thanked him, took the cup, lowered his eyes and drank slowly. Meng Shuipei looked at her and asked with concern:
"I see that my sister's face is not very good. Are she tired on the road?"
Li Qing put down the cup and said shyly:
"I've been weak since childhood, and my face has always been like this."
Meng Shuipei hurriedly pulled her and sat on the bed, held her hand, and said with concern:
"My sister is in this state of mind, why did she choose a female official?"
Li Qing lowered his eyes and said nothing. Seeing that she lowered her head and said without saying anything, Meng Shuipei smiled and turned the topic:
"There are one matte women and one matte women in every two rooms here. We share one with Room A, and I don't know who lives in Room A."
While talking, another chaotic footsteps came from outside. Li Qing and Meng Shuipei stood up, but they didn't dare to get close to the door, and just looked at it from a distance. After a moment, a girl with a plump body that was so plump that she felt fat and thin, and her face was so gorgeous that she was almost charming that she was almost charming that she twisted her waist and entered the room. When she arrived at the door, she didn't come in. She held the door frame with one hand and held the makeup box with the other hand. She sprinkled the room with a charming eyes first, and twisted it softly. Li Qing looked at her in astonishment. Her charming eyebrows and eyes were sharp, and a little bit of that charming beauty was ruined.
These female officials were selected from the official family, how could there be such a person in the world? This is clearly a vixen without a long tail! The vixen seemed to have been used to the shock of others, and calmly passed by Li Qing and Meng Shuipei with disdain, put the makeup box on the empty dressing table beside Li Qing, sat on the stool, looked at the bronze mirror carefully at the hair bun on his head.
Li Qing looked down at her skirt. There should really be a tail there!
There was a soft voice at the door, and a timid voice sounded:
"Hello sister, my name is Gu Ruyan. I am thirteen years old this year, the daughter of Gu Mohai, editor of Hanlin Academy."
Li Qing turned around and a girl stood timidly at the door. She was thin, slender, with white and delicate face. Her eyebrows were like smoke, her eyes were as watery, and her pointed chin made people feel pity. Gu Ruyan bent her knees and blessed her blessings. Fang carefully walked to the remaining bed, placed the box of the holding box on the dressing table, turned timidly to look at Li Qing and Meng Shuipei, and lowered her head quickly as she was frightened. Li Qing felt pity in her heart, poured a cup of tea and took it over, and handed it to her with a smile:
"Sister Ruyan can drink some tea to moisten her throat."
Gu Ruyan took it with gratitude. The vixen stood up suddenly, twisted it in front of Gu Ruyan and Li Qing, and said in a slightly sandy voice with a lazy and magnetic voice:
"My sister's tongue-in-the-ling voice is the most rare, it's so fascinating!"
Li Qing felt his head full of black thread, and couldn't help but stroke his forehead with his hand. Gu Ruyan quietly pulled the vixen's sleeve and shouted softly:
"Sister Ling'er..."
Meng Shuipei also reacted, poured a cup of tea and handed it to Huang Ling'er. The four of them said their names and names to each other. Just as they were about to speak, they heard the majestic voice of the nanny from the yard:
"Girls, it's time for supper."
The four of them hurried out of the house and followed the crowd toward the front yard.
In the east wing of the front yard, there were women standing on both sides of the door. Li Qing followed everyone into the house and saw two rows of ten small eight-immortal tables in the house. There were wooden signs on the table, which read the ten heavenly stems of Jia to Gui in order. Meng Shuipei said softly:
"We are following the room number, let's go to Table B."
Gu Ruyan followed Li Qing timidly. Li Qing gently pulled her hand and walked towards Table B. After Huang Ling'er flew charmingly, she also walked towards Table B with charming charm.
After a moment of silence, everyone returned to the house under the eyes of the mother. When the mother went to each house to change the kettle in the warm nest, Gu Ruyan gently pulled Li Qing, blushed and said softly:
"Sister Qing, I, I want to go to the toilet."
Li Qing hurriedly looked at Meng Shuipei, who pointed to the west and said:
"Through the corner door next to it, it's the clean room."
Li Qing took Gu Ruyan's hand and walked out. Through the corner door, there was a very small clean yard. The left hand was a small compartment with the toilet, and the right hand should be a bath room.
When the two returned to the room, Huang Ling'er was glaring at Meng Shuipei. Meng Shuipei saw the two of them coming in and hurriedly stepped forward and greeted:
"The nanny just now brought the clothes and garments. I'll take them into the cabinet for you. You can see."
Li Qing responded with a smile, but his eyes looked at Huang Ling'er. Huang Ling'er curled her lips, hummed with disdain, turned around to take her clothes, and went out to take a bath.
The next day, just after Maochu, a rapid ringtone rang in the yard, clamping the old woman's shout:
"Girls, get up."
The lights in each room were lit up one after another, and a terrible sound rang out. The woman who combed her hair entered each room one after another. After finishing the washing table, Li Qing sat in front of the dressing table, took the blue and white porcelain bottle from the dressing box, and dripped it on her face, neck and hands.
After breakfast, an old lady took them out of the yard, walked through a blooming rose bush, and came to a spacious pavilion. A horizontal plaque was hung above the main entrance with three gold-patterned characters "Diancui Pavilion".
Everyone entered the Diancui Pavilion and stood one by one after another after the round mat of Qiuxiang color on the floor. In the middle of the hall was Madam Wang, and two Madams with the same dress and the same tense faces stood beside them. The three of them stared coldly at Huang Ling'er, who was flying around with charming eyes. Huang Ling'er gradually became a little uneasy, twisted her body slightly, closed her charming eyes, lowered her head, Madam Wang withdrew her eyes, looked around her, and said:
"The female officials in our dynasty are all knowledgeable about books and rituals, which are examples of the four virtues of women! When you go to various vassals in the future, you must always keep in mind the rules and etiquette. You must not lose the dignity of my Daqing Dynasty! From today on, Madam Zhou will teach the female precepts, the female training and the royal rules and etiquette of my Daqing Dynasty."
Everyone knelt straight on the cushion, and several nannies checked and corrected each other. After sitting for about three quarters of an hour, Li Qing felt his back stiff, and the sweat on his face flowed into his clothes along his temples. He just gritted his teeth and forced himself to hold it. Madam Zhou stood upright and said:
"The Seven Women's Rings are the foundation of the behavior of women in the world. Now, everyone in the teachings: In ancient times, they had a daughter for three days, lying under the bed, timbers were used, and they told her at a fast time."
Everyone knelt down and recited. After reading a few words, they heard a "gudong" beside them, followed by a burst of exclamation. Li Qing hurriedly turned around and looked, but heard the stern voice of Madam Wang:
"quiet!"
