Chapter 468: Shaping the Concubine
Although Tao Hua is smart, she is not very old after all, and after listening to the words of the pottery merchant, she can't react to it somewhat.
She looked at the potter worriedly, and said in a low voice, "Brother...... In this matter, Queen Fu and Concubine Dong Guifei have followed the Son of Heaven for many years, and they have deep feelings, so let the Son of Heaven make the little sister the queen, I am afraid that this matter is ...... Not practical. ”
The potter smiled: "Sister, some things are not done overnight, you go to Fancheng Palace, of course, it is impossible to gain the trust of the Son of Heaven at once, but isn't there still me?" There is a brother, what are you afraid of, and being a brother doesn't necessarily mean that you have to be the queen, it's just an idea. ”
Tao Hua heard this and let out a soft "oh".
The potter said suddenly: "Sister, as the saying goes, once you enter the palace, it is as deep as the sea, but this truth does not work in our Tao family, and when you enter the palace, you are nominally the concubine of the Son of Heaven, but in fact you are a member of my Tao family, and you are the sister of my pottery merchant!" If you have a bad life, or who dares to bully you, just send someone to tell your brother that you have your own brother to stand up for you...... Not even the Son of Heaven! ”
These words touched the little girl's heart very much.
Most of the girls in the scholar clan are born with involuntary destiny, and men like Diao Chan and Mi Zhen who can choose their favorite men are exceptions, and most of them have to obey their parents' orders and matchmakers.
Anyway, in this troubled era, being recommended by the family to become the concubine of the Son of Heaven is already an unimaginable destination for ordinary girls.
And the potter even gave Tao Hua such a promise, which made the little girl's heart feel steady.
At least she understands that after entering the palace, she is not a helpless person, and there is a backer behind her.
"Thank you, brother, little sister remembered."
The potter smiled and nodded, and said, "You come with me, and I will introduce two people for you." ”
The potter took the pottery flower out of the mansion, got into a carriage that had been arranged at the door, and went to another mansion in the west of Pengcheng.
This is where the potters settled Yuan Wan and Feng.
As soon as they heard that the potter was coming in person, Yuan Wan and Feng hurriedly came out to greet them in person.
"Miss Yuan and Mrs. don't have to be formal, Tao came here to visit abruptly today, but there is really an important thing to do, and I am rude to ask the two Haihan."
Yuan Wan didn't even dare to say it, but Mrs. Feng threw a wink at the pottery merchant, and complained: "Last time I met in a hurry in the mansion, the Taifu threw the concubine down by herself, so she was ruthless." ”
Madame Feng's tone was so soft that she almost didn't call the potter's bones crispy.
He smiled helplessly and said to Feng: "Don't blame Madam, there was indeed some urgency last time, if you don't mind...... We can have a next time. ”
Feng Shi covered his mouth and giggled, and said coquettishly: "Who cares about you." ”
The pottery merchant greeted Tao Hua and introduced the two, saying: "Tao Hua is the daughter of the family that Tao is going to recommend to the Son of Heaven, and she is expected to enter the palace in the future. ”
Yuan Wan looked at Tao Hua curiously for a while, and said, "How does Taifu want me to train?" ”
Tao Shang said to Yuan Wan: "Miss Yuan was born in a family of Wang, since she was a child, adhering to the Yuan family motto, etiquette is not comparable to ordinary scholars, Tao wants to ask Miss Yuan to teach Tao Hua what etiquette should be observed after entering the palace, and what rules should be abided by, so that she is like a girl from a big family, and others have ulterior motives to grasp the handle...... Miss Yuan understands what I mean? ”
Yuan Wan was so smart, she understood it at once.
She was born in the Yuan family, a wealthy family in the world, and naturally knows much more about what a high-class woman should do than a woman in an ordinary scholar family.
"Since the Taifu has opened her mouth, the little girl should be omnipresent, this sister looks smart and clever, and learns some of the etiquette and rules of the big family, it must not take much time."
The potter nodded gratefully at her, then turned his gaze back to Feng.
"Madame, may you take a step to speak?"
Feng Shi followed the potter to the side suspiciously.
The potter said to her: "Train my sister, so that the Son of Heaven likes her, and even can't do without her, not only limited to the etiquette of the big clan, but also have to ask the lady to help." ”
Mrs. Feng smiled coquettishly: "What can the concubine body help with?" ”
The potter secretly said in his heart, of course, I passed on to her the fascination when you charmed me.
But that can't be said.
The potter pondered the vocabulary for a moment before turning his head and whispering in Feng's ear for a long time.
After hearing this, Mrs. Feng raised her hand and gently pinched the potter's arm, and said angrily: "Wrongdoer! I'm so angry, how do you think I'm good at it? ”
The potter smiled shyly and said, "Please also ask Madame for help, this matter is very important to me." ”
Mrs. Feng gave him a blank look and said, "I'll do my best, but how can you repay me when you turn around?" ”
The potter sighed lightly and said, "Madame, do whatever you want...... I'm at your mercy. ”
……
For the time being, the pottery flowers were left with Yuan Wan and Feng's side, and the pottery merchant returned home.
As soon as she entered the house, Xiao Ying'er jumped in front of the potter, and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Master Tao, you are going to add a new lady!" ”
The potter raised his hand and gently tapped her on the door of the head, saying, "You talk a lot." ”
With that, I walked into the inner house.
Diao Chan was already protected from Jinling City to Pengcheng some time ago, and her belly was already very big, according to the time estimate, she was about to give birth.
The potter merchant leaned his head against Diao Chan's belly and patted it gently: "Little Tao Bao, Daddy sees you coming." ”
Diao Chan glanced at him and said, "You still remember that there is such a child, I am afraid that after you accept Mrs. Ru, you will forget our mother and son." ”
The potter straightened up and said with a smile: "Am I such a forgetful person? ”
Diao Chan smiled and stretched out his hand to wipe the sweat for the potter, and said: "That's nature, our husband is naturally the world's first-class true gentleman, a true and kind person...... But Sister Zhen'er admires you, I can see it, you must not treat others lightly. ”
The potter shook her hand and said, "Don't worry, I will be as good to her as I am to you...... Or a little worse than treating you. ”
Diao Chan smiled: "Flim tongue." ”
The husband and wife talked privately for a while, and the potter suddenly changed the subject: "There is one thing, I want to go back and ask my wife for help." ”
"What's the matter?"
Tao Shang said: "I want to ask Mrs. to guide the sister Tao Hua who has just passed to my door...... When how to sing and dance. ”
Diao Chan was stunned when she heard this, then pointed to her stomach with a wry smile, and said, "How can I teach her like this?" ”
The potter smiled: "It's not for you to show her in person, she has some foundation in singing and dancing, you just need to guide her on the side, at least let her look like a family!" How does Madame feel? ”
Diao Chan pondered for a moment, and Fang said, "This is not difficult, it is feasible...... But why did you suddenly let your sister, who had just passed away, learn singing and dancing? Still eager to learn? ”
The potter sighed and didn't speak, just looked into the distance.
……
Just after the potter had just finished taking care of the pottery flowers, an urgent military situation suddenly came from the northern front.
In the name of avenging Yuan Shu, Yuan Tan raised the people of Qingzhou and went south to Langya to invade the northern part of Xuzhou.
As soon as he heard this, the potter immediately became angry!
Three of the five thieves in Mount Tai had just moved to Mount Tai County, and not long after the peace of Langya Kingdom, the Yuan family actually came to attack for no reason?
If it was Yuan Shao himself, it would be fine, but the person who came was actually Yuan Shao's cub?
Isn't that too much to treat me as a dish!
At the court meeting, everyone expressed their opinions.
The officials from the local scholar clan in Xuzhou all thought that Yuan Shao was powerful, and if he eliminated Gongsun Zhan, he would be unstoppable, and he could not be compared to the enemy at the moment, and he should focus on peace.
But the potters simply ignored them.
Someone took the initiative to beat me? I'm begging for a fart!
Guo Jia had a whim, and admonished Tao Shang: "Yuan Shao sent troops to Youzhou, and he is currently fighting with Gongsun Zhan, and the rear is undecided, and now Yuan Tan is sending troops to Langya State, which is equivalent to a war on two fronts. ”
The potter gently tapped on the table and said, "Whether he sent troops privately or not, he was out." ”
Guo Jia smiled and said: "If Yuan Shao comes with the main force of Hebei, his strength is huge and it may be difficult to deal with, but the Yuan family kid makes his own opinion, and he is really seeking his own death, Taifu wants to clean up Yuan Tan, so it is not a problem, but Guo deliberately wants to make a living to capture this person." ”
"Capture this man alive?"
Guo Jia nodded and said, "Not bad!" Yuan Tan is Yuan Shao's eldest son, and after Yuan Shao pacifies Hebei, sooner or later he will go south, if Taifu takes this opportunity to capture Yuan Tan alive and take him hostage, do you say that when Yuan Shao fights Xuzhou in the future, will he be able to let go of his hands and feet, or will he not be able to let go of his hands and feet? ”
