    Sui Sui went to the bamboo forest early in the morning and broke off a basket of bamboo shoots. Now he was peeling bamboo shoots in the yard in front of the kitchen and preparing to make preserved bamboo shoots. A maid came to invite him, so he had to hand the bamboo shoots to the cook and return to Qixia Pavilion.

    Aunt Gao was waiting for her in the hall. When she saw her, she greeted her and said, "This is my new wife. Your Highness is afraid that my eyes will be darkened, so I specially asked my old slave to help you. If you have anything you don't understand, you can ask me."  The old slave will spare no effort, tell everything he knows, and help the lady serve His Highness well."

    Sui Sui smiled and said, "I don't understand anything and I'm stupid. I'm busy."

    Seeing her lowering her eyebrows, Grandma Gao felt a little at ease, and the shadow left by killing the chicken yesterday also faded a lot.

    She said sternly: "No one is holding a broom beside His Highness He has no wives, concubines, or maids I am the first woman to win His Highness's favor. This is my blessing."

    He nodded casually, but was indifferent to this "honor" and did not appear flattered.

    Aunt Gao was a little disappointed, and then said: "To serve His Highness, your virtue, appearance, words, and work must not be compromised."

    She glanced at the woman's voluptuous face, her eyes full of hints. She was far behind in any of these four standards. If it weren't for this face, His Highness would not even look at her.

    "Although I have some shortcomings now, as long as I study hard, I will definitely make some progress over time," Mammy Gao encouraged. "As long as I am diligent in my duty and serve His Highness well. When His Highness accepts a concubine, if I am lucky enough to enter the palace, I will be able to make progress."  You must also serve your mistress and concubine well."

    Sui Sui had no reaction, and there was still a faint smile on his lips.

    Aunt Gao said: "The virtues of women should be the first priority when it comes to virtue."

    She leaned over and picked up a regular brocade bag, opened it, took out a volume of books, and spread it on the table: "Have you ever read the "Female Commandments"?"

    When Sui Sui heard this, his brain ached. For a moment, he didn't know whether the old woman looked down on her or looked up to her too much.

    Whose family teaches concubines and lets them learn the "Female Commandments"?  Simply unheard of.

    She shook her head: "I haven't read it, what is this?"

    Aunt Gao said: "This is written by Master Cao to teach women how to behave in the world."

    Sui Sui blinked: "Who is Mr. Cao?"

    Aunt Gao explained: "Cao's surname is Ban Mingzhao, the daughter of the historian Ban Biao and the sister of Ban Gu"

    Suisui wondered: "Her surname is Ban, why is she called Cao Jia?"

    Aunt Gao raised her eyebrows and said a little impatiently: "She married a husband named Cao, and she belongs to the Cao family."

    Suisui lowered his eyes: "I'm sorry, grandma, I'm too stupid, I always ask questions."

    Grandma Gao couldn't see this and immediately softened her voice and said: "Sage Confucius said, 'Knowing something is knowing it, not knowing it is not knowing, it is knowing.' If you have any doubts, it is good for you to ask."

    Sui Sui¡¯s eyes lit up: ¡°I recognize Saint Kong.¡±

    After a pause, he frowned again: "But what are those strings of 'Zhi Zhi Zhi Zhi'?"

    Aunt Gao: ""

    She cleared her throat: "Madam, don't worry about this for now Ahem, in short, the Cao family was ordered to continue writing the Han Dynasty after the death of their brother. She is a famous talented woman in the Eastern Han Dynasty."

    Sui Sui showed admiration: "That must be awesome."

    "That's natural," said Grandma Gao, "Have you ever learned how to read?"

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? By Suiwen

    The old mama had a foresight and thought that if she won the favor of His Highness and was taken into the palace as a concubine in the future, His Highness might allow her to give birth to a child. Even though she is a concubine and a concubine, a mother must not be illiterate, otherwise how can she raise a child?

    "My lady, let me first listen to the old slave read and speak slowly, and by the way, learn the elegant language."

    "Okay." Sui Sui said.

    Aunt Gao took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, put down the tea bowl, and Man Sheng read the chapter "Humble" from beginning to end, explained it word for word, danced with joy, spent a long time talking, and finally asked: "Mrs.  understand?"

    He nodded confusedly, then shook his head.

    "Why don't you understand, Madam?"

    Suisui said nervously: "I'm sorry, mama, actually I don't understand any of the words"

    Grandma Gao almost fainted.

    Suisui wring her fingers in embarrassment: "Can you please tell me again slowly, mama? I will listen carefully this time."

    Aunt Gao had to be patient.Xiaotong rolled her eyes: "Madam, do you want to go and see a shop selling gold and silver jewelry?"

    Sui Sui said: "I'm afraid I don't have enough money to buy these."

    Xiaotong said: ¡°It doesn¡¯t cost anything to have a look.¡±

    "Okay" casually.

    The two got off the carriage, gave the two guards a sling of copper coins, and asked them to find a teahouse on the corner of the street to sit and wait, then took Xiaotong to visit the shops.

    Suisui has never been to the market a few times since he was so old. Once in a while, he has already thought about what to buy, goes straight to the store, and leaves after buying. This is the first time in his life that he has been shopping leisurely like this.

    Xiaotong, however, comes here to buy things every now and then. She is very familiar with the place and knows all about the delicious, beautiful and interesting things in the Western Market.

    Suisui followed Xiaotong while shopping, and when he got tired, he found a stall to sit down, drink a bowl of buttermilk, and eat some fruit. It was very pleasant.

    I just didn¡¯t bring much money with me. I saw a lot but didn¡¯t buy much. Xiaotong was a slave in the palace and had high standards. She casually thought of pulling a few feet of cheap silk cloth back to make some obscene clothes. She grabbed her and said, ¡°The fabrics in our palace are the same.¡±  But it¡¯s much better than these. I¡¯ll ask my grandma to get it, so why spend this wasted money.¡±

    It happened like this several times. It was absolutely necessary to just go along, so I gave up.

    After half a day of shopping, I only bought a few uncommon spices from Hu people¡¯s shops, and bought half a dozen handkerchiefs for Harutiao.

    Xiaotong said: "Madam, do you want to go and see the makeup?"

    Suisui's eyes moved slightly: "I don't need it on weekdays."

    Xiaotong clicked her tongue softly: "My wife is naturally beautiful, but her skin must be taken care of."

    "Then let's go and have a look," Suisui said nicely, "Which shop has the best makeup?"

    When Xiaotong talked about this, he said eloquently: "When it comes to fragrant powder and facial powder, Chang Si's family is the best in the capital. The secret recipe of the facial powder and fragrant powder used by his family is said to have come from the palace of Empress Chen. Compared with  All the gifts given by the emperor are good."

    "It must be very expensive, right?" Sui Sui said.

    ¡°There are expensive ones and there are cheap ones,¡± Xiaotong said. ¡°It¡¯s up to the person to be rich and frugal. You¡¯ll know it when you go and see it.¡±

    Sui Sui said hello, and the two walked through the streets and alleys for a long time before they found Chang Si's cosmetics shop.

    This store doesn¡¯t have a great entrance, nor is it big, but the store is packed with people, and there¡¯s almost no place to hang out.

    Xiaotong said: "My servant came here a few days ago. Madam, please go in and take a look. My servant is waiting for you outside."

    He nodded casually and walked into the store.

    There were many customers and few waiters in the store. I glanced around and my eyes fell on a handsome shopkeeper of seventeen or eighteen years old wearing a soap-colored scarf.

    There was an old, inconspicuous scar at the end of his left eyebrow, and his eyebrow was broken into two parts.

    Sui Sui walked up to him and said, "Shopkeeper, do you sell Hu Rouge here?"

    The waiter looked at her through the curtain and nodded: "Hu Yanzhi, there are several kinds in our store, including those dyed with red flowers, those dyed with pomegranate flowers, those dyed with mountain flowers, and those dyed with purple minerals. I wonder which one the lady wants?"  "

    Sui Sui said: "I want the blood-stained orangutan from the Western Kingdom. I wonder if the store has it?"

    Before she finished speaking, the clerk's expression became stern: "This kind of rouge is not often bought. There is a batch of last year's goods, which are all stored in the warehouse upstairs. Madam, please come with me."

    He nodded casually: "Thank you."

    The shop was noisy and their voices were low. No one noticed the conversation between the two, and no one noticed that there were two missing people in the shop.

    The boy took him to the room upstairs, put down the thick felt curtain, removed the screen on the opposite wall, revealing a secret door, and bowed, "There is the warehouse inside."

    He opened the door and walked in.

    Inside the door is a dark room, which is narrow and cramped, with only one oil lamp lit, but it is very comfortably furnished.

    A man of about fifty years old, with a round waist and a bulging belly, wearing a brocade robe with a Baoxiang pattern, bowed down and said: "I am here to pay my respects to the general." (Remember this website's website address: www.hlnovel.com
