Xiao Nuan entered the hall and saw Emperor Jianlong and Concubine Hua sitting on both sides of the couch, with fruits from all over the country on the small table in the middle, and the third master sitting on the small stool with Emperor Jianlong's hands hanging down. There is no difference between the mother and son of the third master, but Emperor Jianlong is so red with a smile.

Xiao Nuan first saluted Emperor Jianlong, and then greeted Hua Concubine, she just sat down on the small stool beside Hua Concubine, Emperor Jianlong couldn't wait to ask, "Xiaocao's new codex, can you bring a copy into the palace?"

That's why he laughed so loudly, because of this?

Xiao Nuan stood up and dealt with it decently, "The daughter-in-law asked Xiaocao before entering the palace, she felt that she didn't draw well enough, and she didn't dare to let her daughter-in-law take it in and stain the eyes of her father and mother. ”

"Ha, ha, ha-" Emperor Jianlong laughed even louder when he thought of Xiaocao's appearance when he said this, "Dexi, go get it." ”

Naturally, you can't go empty-handed, Emperor Jianlong said, "Take ten knives of Shu paper in the palace, and give Xiaocao to practice painting, lest this little girl always feel that she can't do it." ”

Dexi went out and ordered someone to take Shu paper, and went out of the palace to the fourth village to get a painting.

Shu paper weight is white, it is a high-grade paper product, and the Shu paper that was paid tribute to the palace of Emperor Jianlong is the top grade of the top grade, such paper should be used to write historical records, and Emperor Jianlong gave Xiaocao ten knives in one mouth, so that she could practice painting.

Xiao Nuan pursed her lips, and was embarrassed to write on the tax payment decree of Emperor Jianlong, and was embarrassed to write on the tax payment decree: The treasury is empty, I am worried, the consumption is reduced again and again, and the food is not refined, but the stomach is satisfied!

The sharp-eyed Emperor Jianlong saw Xiao Nuan's movements, stroked his beard and asked, "I gave you little grass paper, are you unhappy?"

She was really careless, forgetting that this was the palace, and a wrong look or movement could lead to trouble. Xiao Nuan was calm and said unhurriedly, "Of course Xiao Nuan is happy for her sister, but it's just ......"

"Just what?" Emperor Jianlong's eyes looked over quite threateningly, Hua Concubine's fists clenched in her sleeves, and the third master looked at Xiao Nuan quietly, if she didn't answer in time, he would open his mouth to relieve her.

Xiao Nuan knelt on the ground again, "The father asked, and the daughter-in-law didn't dare not tell the truth." The daughter-in-law has been working hard to practice calligraphy recently, and she has grown a lot better than before, and the daughter-in-law's mother has just added two brushes to the daughter-in-law's pen stand, and the daughter-in-law has not been proud for two days, so you will give the grass paper, and the daughter-in-law is happy, but there is a little bit of disappointment. ”

Xiao Nuan raised his hand and compared, so that Emperor Jianlong could understand how big it was. When the third master saw her playful appearance, his eyebrows and eyes softened, and the four words of great wisdom and foolishness were the most suitable for Xiao Nuan.

Emperor Jianlong was curious, "Why did your mother add two brushes to you?"

"When I was a child, my daughter-in-law's father wouldn't let us into his study. When he was not at home, we only dared to sneak through the window to look in, at that time it was too short, we could only see the pen stand on the desk near the window and the brush on the pen stand, large and small, we were very envious, and felt that we were very knowledgeable to do this. Later, the three daughters-in-law were kicked out of the Chen family, and after they were able to eat enough, they pondered to read and write. ”

"At the beginning, my daughter-in-law was incompetent and couldn't afford to buy a brush, so I practiced with chicken feathers, and when the family conditions were better and we could afford to buy a pen, we wanted to hang a few more. Although I now know that having more pens does not mean that I am knowledgeable, this habit is still retained. There are sixteen large, medium and small brushes on the small grass table, and the daughter-in-law only has six. ”

When Xiao Nuan said this, her tone was quite resentful, "I think Xiaocao was literate back then, but her daughter-in-law taught her." ”

Emperor Jianlong secretly scolded Chen Zumo for not being a thing, and showed a little pity for Xiao Nuan's three people's difficulty in surviving, "You write a few words and show me." ”

"Yes." Xiao Nuan got up and went to the desk to write his name neatly and presented it to Emperor Jianlong.

Has this been a step forward, what did it look like before? Emperor Jianlong glanced at the Third Emperor playfully, and asked with a smile, "Why do you want to write your name?"

Xiao Nuan lowered her head, very embarrassed, "Because these are the three words that my daughter-in-law can write the best." ”

Emperor Jianlong looked at these three words carefully, and raised his eyebrows slightly, "If you only look at the outline, it is a little similar to Sheng'er's." ”

Yan Sheng got up and replied, "This was written by Erchen and asked her to copy it." It's just a matter of getting a name, and you have to be able to get your hands on it. ”

Emperor Jianlong's eyes narrowed, the person in the upper position should know how dangerous it is for his pen to be imitated, Sheng'er actually asked Xiao Nuan to copy his words, it can be seen that he has full trust in Xiao Nuan, Sheng'er really put this girl in his heart.

Emperor Jianlong asked again, "I think Xiao Nuan may be able to handle the word?"

Yan Sheng said truthfully, "I have to practice again." ”

Seeing Xiao Nuan's confident little face collapse instantly, Emperor Jianlong laughed, "It has to be practiced, although a woman is virtuous if she is not talented, but Xiao Nuan is in charge of dozens of shops, how can she practice the commonly used words to be able to see the talent." I give you a set of scattered pens, ten knives of Shu paper, and you have to practice diligently. ”

Xiao Nuan knew that she was almost over this level, but for the sake of insurance, Xiao Nuan felt that she had to behave a little more mercenary, "Thank you, father!" Father's ,...... The daughter-in-law opened a pen workshop, and the pen made is no worse than the Sanzhuo pen. ”

Sanzhuo pen comes from Xuanzhou Zhuge and is a contemporary famous pen. Emperor Jianlong didn't believe that Xiao Nuan's workshop had such craftsmanship, but he still learned from the tone of a businessman and said, "It's not up to you, the pen seller, to have the final say. ”

The smile on Xiao Nuan's face couldn't help it, "Yes." ”

Emperor Jianlong saw her self-righteous little appearance, his vigilance dropped a little more, and his mood changed again, "Since you already have a pen, I will give you the Shifang Hui Yan instead." ”

"Thank you, Father!" Xiao Nuan pretended to respond happily, only then was pulled up by Concubine Hua, sat down beside her, and continued to chat with Emperor Jianlong.

After Emperor Jianlong was finally satisfied, he left with Yan Sheng, leaving Xiao Nuan to accompany Concubine Hua to talk. Xiao Nuan helped Hua Concubine to get up and go back to the inner room to close the door, raised her hand and rubbed her smiling face, accompanied by a tiger like a tiger, tired physically and mentally tired.

Hua Concubine took her hand and gently rubbed it for her, "Don't relax in the palace at any time, if you don't make a move or look right, you may be caught by someone, and you will be punished at least or killed." When you really can't control it, keep your head down and don't speak, so that there are fewer mistakes. ”

Concubine Hua's hands were very cold, which made Xiao Nuan feel very guilty, "Fang is Xiao Nuan's carelessness, and the concubine is worried, right?"

Hua Concubine smiled, looked down at Xiao Nuan's hand carefully, "It's only been a few days, why did your hands become rough?"

Xiao Nuan is very embarrassed, she has been living roughly, and she has been helping in the field these days, and her hands are not as delicate as those days when she first got married, "Xiao Nuan is taking care of it and raising it back as soon as possible." ”

Concubine Hua helped her pull the scattered hair from her sideburns behind her ears, "You have just gotten married, you don't have to be so plain in dress, your hair bun can be combed more delicately, and the Queen Mother likes to dress up more festively." ”

Xiao Nuan couldn't say that her hair was combed by the third master, so she responded with a smile.

Hua Concubine knew that Xiao Nuan didn't care about dressing up, so she persuaded, "I know that you and Sheng'er are in love, and they won't change because of their appearance." But 'Zhilan was born in a deep valley, not without people', flowers and plants are still like this, let alone a woman? If you have a permanent appearance, not only will you be more confident, but Sheng'er will also be happy, as the so-called woman is the one who pleases herself, why not?"

Xiao Nuan understands this, but she is only sixteen years old this year, which is the age of flowers, and she always feels that she is not yet the time to maintain.

Hua Concubine understood her thoughts, "Flowers are not red for a hundred days, women's faces are easier to age, and they should always pay attention to their diet and daily life." I know that you have no time, so I can find a faithful servant who is proficient in this way and bring her back to the house to help you recuperate. ”

After speaking, Hua Concubine took out a thread-bound booklet from the cabinet beside her, "This is the matters that should be paid attention to on weekdays and the recipe for beauty, you put it away, ten or twenty years later, you will know the subtleties." ”

The words on this cover are Hua Concubine's notes at a glance, Xiao Nuan opened it and read two pages, and the neat little block inside it was Hua Concubine's intention to treat her. Xiao Nuan looked up, "Xiao Nuan wrote it down, I'll take a closer look when I go back." Mother, you tell Xiao Nuan the truth, do you want to slow us down and do something very dangerous? ”
