When Zixiang heard Mu Yunjin's words, she was taken aback for a moment, then immediately understood, and stepped forward to help Aunt Li.
Before her hand touched Aunt Li, she waved her hand away, "I'll do it myself."
After standing still, Aunt Li took a slight breath, looked at Mu Yunjin with a sullen face, "The etiquette is over, now please third miss learn the rules from the old slave."
"The old slave was specially appointed by the madam so that after the third lady married into the prince's mansion in the future, her behavior would not be criticized by others. I also ask the third miss to understand the madam's heart."
"According to what you said, mother thinks that I have behaved badly and have no rules? So now let you teach me?" Mu Yunjin lazily leaned on the chair and fiddled with her fingernails.
Aunt Li choked, and then smiled, "That's not the case, it's just that in the past, the master and wife knew that they were sloppy with the third lady, and now the old slave is also teaching the third lady to learn the rules. The third miss understands what the master and wife want."
After listening to Aunt Li's extremely beautiful words, Mu Yunjin finally understood why Su Biqing sent her here.
After all, ginger is still old and spicy.
However, Su Biqing suddenly sent her confidant, Aunt Li, and it was definitely not as simple as learning the rules, but she wanted to see what tricks she was hiding this time.
"Miss San, it's not too late, let's start now." Aunt Li said.
"Wait." Mu Yunjin interrupted, and turned her head to look at Zixiang beside her, "Zixiang, I haven't eaten since I woke up, I'm a little hungry."
Upon hearing this, Zixiang immediately said, "It's my maidservant who was negligent, and this maidservant is going to prepare breakfast for Miss."
"good."
After Zixiang ran away, Mu Yunjin smiled at Aunt Li in front of her, "Let's talk about it after I finish my breakfast."
Aunt Li gritted her teeth, and said with a half-hearted smile, "Yes, Third Miss."
…
In the small garden of Tinghua Pavilion, Mu Yunjin was drinking red bean porridge in a small bowl slowly, chatting with Zixiang from time to time.
A small bowl of red bean porridge, I was stunned to finish it after half an hour.
Aunt Li stood aside and looked at the sky which was almost noon, she glared at Mu Yunjin, and scolded Mu Yunjin a thousand times in her heart.
"I'm done." Mu Yunjin said, pushing the small bowl aside.
"Miss San, shall we start then?" Seeing that Mu Yunjin had finished eating, Aunt Li walked forward and asked.
Mu Yunjin nodded and smiled at Aunt Li, "Then let's start, Aunt Li will show me what I should learn first."
"Okay." After Aunt Li finished speaking, she took a few steps back and began to demonstrate to Mu Yunjin.
"This old slave starts with the etiquette of kneeling and worshiping. There are many nobles in this palace, and even the rituals of kneeling and worshiping are divided into different grades. The third lady must learn carefully."
Mu Yunjin gave a compliment, and then watched Aunt Li demonstrate to her.
Aunt Li took the lead in demonstrating a small gift, she just gently caressed her body without bending her waist, and then said to Mu Yunjin, "This kind of gift can be demonstrated to older brothers and sisters."
Mu Yunjin propped her head up, looking at the scene just now, it seemed that she had found the so-called trick.
It turns out that Aunt Li deliberately taught her the wrong rules.
Although she didn't learn any palace etiquette, she wouldn't be so stupid as to give such a perfunctory salute to her elder brothers and sisters.
Immediately afterwards, Aunt Li demonstrated another etiquette, just like the bowing and kowtowing ceremony she made to Mu Yunjin before, "This kind of ceremony is done to some concubines and empresses, they are the mothers of princes. Seniors, it should be a great gift."
"En." Mu Yunjin nodded, rolled her eyes silently, and yawned lazily.
"Next..."
"Miss, it's time for lunch." Before Aunt Li could say anything, Zixiang spoke to Mu Yunjin again.
Mu Yunjin slightly raised her eyebrows, glanced at Aunt Li's already slumped face, and slightly curled her lips, "Okay, let's have lunch first."
"Miss San, didn't you just have breakfast?" Aunt Li said holding back her anger.
"Yeah, it's late for breakfast, and it's time for lunch, shouldn't it be?" Mu Yunjin asked back, picked up the chopsticks, and ate slowly.
Zixiang stood aside, holding back a smile, and glanced at Aunt Li's livid face, feeling extremely happy in her heart.
In the past, Aunt Li relied on being someone close to the eldest lady, but she did many things that were not good to them, and now she should be punished.
After taking a bite of the meal, Mu Yunjin raised her eyes to look at Aunt Li who was standing still, and said, "Aunt Li, go on with the demonstration. I'll watch it, and it will save time."
Aunt Li didn't understand just now, but now that she heard this sentence, she understood that this little bitch was deliberately teasing her!
After waiting for a while, Aunt Li said to Mu Yunjin, "I guess the third lady will take a nap after lunch, and when she wakes up from the nap, it's time for dinner. It seems that the old slave came at the wrong time today." , then we won’t stay any longer, and the old slave will leave first.”
"Aunt Li understands me." Mu Yunjin smiled mockingly, "Since that's the case, walk slowly, don't send me off!"
After Aunt Li left in anger, Mu Yunjin put down the chopsticks in her hand, her eyes flashed, and she said with a faint smile, "In the next two months, I'm afraid there won't be peace in Tinghua Pavilion."
Zixiang sighed, "I heard that the fourth lady has been in love with the sixth prince since she was a child, and now that the sixth prince wants to marry the young lady as the concubine, the fourth lady must be very upset."
"If you're not happy, you're not happy. I'm happy when she's not happy." Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows slightly.
…
After three days in a row, Mu Yunjin stayed in Ting Hua Pavilion and did not go out. She originally thought that Aunt Li would come to Ting Hua Pavilion again, but she never came back after she was angry at lunch that day. .
In her spare time, Mu Yunjin heard Zixiang say that there was a temple fair in the city today, so she prepared to take Zixiang out of the mansion.
When passing by the front hall, Mu Yunjin saw the housekeeper carrying a lot of gift boxes into the door, and then put them on a table full of gift boxes, panting.
"Uncle Wang, where did you get these gifts?" Zixiang looked at the big table of gifts, a little curious.
Uncle Wang wiped off his sweat, gave a gift to Mu Yunjin, and then said, "Since the news of the marriage between the sixth prince and the third lady has spread, the people who came to the prime minister's house to give gifts almost broke through the threshold. Congratulations to miss, it has been three days now, and there are still so many people who come to give gifts."
"That's it, what about the gift from before?" Mu Yunjin raised her eyebrows.
"This old slave is not very clear, and should be put away by the eldest lady." Wang Bo said.
Hearing this, Mu Yunjin crossed her arms and glanced at those gift boxes. At a glance, they were almost all precious medicinal materials or supplements and antiques.
"Since you are here to congratulate me, then send these gift boxes to my Tinghua Pavilion, and let your mother take the gift boxes that you received a few days ago together."
Mu Yunjin smiled embarrassingly, and then took Zixiang to the gate of the prime minister's mansion.
The housekeeper froze in place, feeling a little troubled for a while.
After leaving the mansion, Zixiang walked beside Mu Yunjin, and said worriedly, "Miss took all these gift boxes back, will Da Furen be unhappy?"
"What right does she have to be unhappy? She gave it to me in the first place, and I should take it away." Mu Yunjin said with a smile.
After a pause, Mu Yunjin spoke again, "Actually, I didn't do this because I wanted those gifts, but because I couldn't understand her and wanted to piss her off."
"Miss..." Zixiang was frightened and immediately covered Mu Yunjin's mouth with her hand, and looked around at the people around her.
If this word is heard by others, they will suffer a great crime.
"Where is the temple fair you mentioned?" Mu Yunjin folded her arms and walked leisurely on the road. Looking from the whole street to the end, she didn't see any place that looked like a temple fair.
"Miss, temples are usually built outside the city, and this is a street market, where there will be temple fairs." Zixiang said, covering her mouth and smiling.
Mu Yunjin curled her lips and walked all the way out of the city.
…
After coming to the temple fair mentioned by Zixiang, Mu Yunjin looked around and saw people coming in and out of the gate of the temple at this time, full of people who came to participate in the temple fair.
"Miss, I heard that there is a thousand-year-old tree in this temple. It is said that most of the wishes made to this ancient tree will come true." Zixiang mentioned the ancient tree with longing.
Mu Yunjin glanced at Zixiang, "Do you believe in such little tricks?"
"Miss, since we're here, let's go and have a look. Anyway, there are so many people in the Buddhist hall at this time, we can't squeeze in." Zixiang said.
Mu Yunjin sighed slightly, nodded, and followed Zixiang to find the thousand-year-old tree.
After walking for a few steps, Mu Yunjin saw several carriages parked there under the shade of a tree, one of which was a rosewood carriage, and Mu Yunjin recognized it at a glance.
It seems that Mu Lingzhu is also here.
After asking several young monks for the way, Mu Yunjin and Zixiang finally arrived at the location of the thousand-year-old tree.
It's just that the thousand-year-old tree is being placed in a large courtyard, and to enter that courtyard, you need to get a token from the abbot before you can enter.
Seeing this, Zixiang suddenly felt a little regretful.
Mu Yunjin didn't feel much about this thousand-year-old tree at first, but now that she walked outside the courtyard, she felt a little strange in her heart, as if there was a pulling force entwining her.
Mu Yunjin stroked her heart, raised her eyes and looked into the yard, "Zixiang, let's go find the abbot."
The two walked back and forth, and asked a lot of directions. When they came to the Buddhist temple where the abbot lived, Mu Yunjin had just stepped on the steps leading to the Buddhist temple when he saw a group of people coming down the steps.
Looking up, the leaders are the third prince Chu Qing and the eighth prince Chu Xin, and there is also a man in a fine attire walking aside. Beside the three of them were Mu Lingzhu, Yan Lingshang, Wen Ruhan, and even a few official ladies whom they had never seen before.
Those people also saw Mu Yunjin who was walking up, and for a moment everyone had different expressions.
Mu Yunjin cursed bad luck, and Zixiang pulled Mu Yunjin's sleeve and whispered, "Miss, why don't we turn around."
"Why turn back? I'm afraid they won't succeed." Mu Yunjin muttered and continued walking up the steps.
When he was standing face to face with the group of people, he heard a clear and playful voice in front of him, "Isn't this Miss Mu San? Why did you come here alone?"
