bright moon goes west

The smile on Heng'e's lips is always as gentle as water, like poetry and picturesque, which makes people feel ashamed.

"Miss Tan, in our Chen family, the concubine kneels down to serve tea, and the mistress accepts it, and you can enter the door."

Tan Shali just showed a surprised expression, but Heng'e poured cold water on her head: "Miss Tan, your Tan family only made a fortune after your father became a bandit. Of course, you are now a member of the Yunnan Army." Miss, no matter where the hero comes from, I will not comment on the past affairs of the Tan family. But the Chen family is different. The Chen family has been rich for a hundred years, and it is a family that pays attention to rules and decency. If you come to the Chen family, you must abide by it The duty of a concubine. Let me say a few things first."

Heng'e slowly pointed to the tray in the servant girl's hand, and said in a manly voice:
"Well, as a concubine, I will not be able to wear red from now on; second, although I am younger than you, I am ahead of you. I am the head of the Chen family, and you should call me respectful." Madame; when the mistress is sitting, the concubine’s room must stand and set the rules; get up early to say hello, the concubine’s room has to serve the mistress to wash, eat, beat her shoulders, rub her legs, if the maid knows it, the concubine’s room must know it; the mistress is sick , the concubine's room needs to serve the sick, and the decoction and phoenix medicine are the most important. You have to learn from the beginning. Of course, there are many rules. Later, I will ask the maid to send the female four books to your house. Until you recite the meeting, the most important point is that the time for the concubine's room to go to bed has to be arranged by the mistress. If the rules are wrong and the etiquette is broken, the daughter's family is the most important. I don't like to slap my mouth. Go to the small Buddhist hall Kneeling scriptures and picking Buddha beans."

Tan Sally was upset when she heard it: "The imperial system has been overthrown, why should I abide by these rules?! These are feudal dross, are you trying to embarrass me on purpose!"

Heng'e chuckled softly: "Miss Tan, you have received a Western-style education, and you still cry and call out to be a concubine for a man! This concubine is a deformed product left over from the cultural collision between the old and new eras. Since you want to be a concubine, you should You must abide by the rules of the old times, you know, there is no creature like an aunt in Europe where you study."

Chen Che saw the needles and said: "My sister-in-law is right, our aunt Chen Jiana's rules are like this."

Tan Shali looked at Chen Xi for help, but Chen Xi didn't look at her, but turned the Swiss watch on her wrist, and said in a very indifferent tone: "As I said, I don't have such thoughts for you."

A faint smile appeared on the corner of Heng'e's lips, and she nodded to Qingke, the personal servant girl who came over.

After being signaled, Qing Ke took a step forward and blessed Tan Sally: "Miss Tan, let me show you how to serve tea first."

Qing Ke knelt down to Hang'e's feet with a straight but graceful posture, holding the tray high above her head with both hands, she bowed down, the tea in the tray remained motionless, Qing Ke lowered his eyebrows and closed his eyes, and said in an extremely gentle voice: "Sir Please have some tea, madam."

Heng'e glanced at Tan Sally: "Miss Tan, did you see it?"

Heng'e raised her hand to signal Qingke to get up, and said with a smile: "If Miss Tan is kneeling, it will take me a quarter of an hour to pick it up. If the tea is cold or hot, I will pour it on your pocket. The concubine of the era can be bought and sold. Ms. Tan is the eldest lady of the Dian army. I can't sell you, but the mistress taught the concubine's house. It's only right and proper. Would your father come to me for justice? The military has really become a joke."

Tan Sally's father, Tan Songlin, took over the concubine of Jiufang. She watched the concubine at home all day trying to fight for favor. Xi's concubine's room actually worked so hard.

Tan Shali couldn't imagine that she was a young lady and a servant looking up to Mrs. Chen Xi's breath. She was sore and struggling at the moment. She looked at Chen Xi with teary eyes, the man she once loved so much. In his eyes, there was only one figure, but that figure was not her.

Tan Sally's heart was sour and astringent, as if she had knocked over a five-flavor bottle, all kinds of tastes came to her heart, and the root of her tongue was numb due to the bitterness.

Tears rolled silently from Tan Sally's eyes, and her gorgeous face looked a little pitiful.However, the people in this room are all hard-hearted.

Looking back on her 20-odd years, Tan Sally found that only the time in England was the happiest time in her life.

At that time, she had just arrived in England, and she was surrounded by servants. Although she went abroad because of a quarrel with her father, she regretted it as soon as she got on the ship.The spontaneous homesickness made her cry silently with her pillow hugged every night until...until she met Chen Xi.Handsome, tall and straight, the flamboyant Chen Xi seems to be born to be the focus, even standing in front of those arrogant Caucasians.

She just glanced across the crowd, and the blood in her whole body boiled, her heart almost jumped out of her chest, even though she knew that Chen Xi had many girlfriends, even though she knew that Chen Xi seemed passionate, In fact, she was ruthless, she still couldn't help it, and kept chasing Chen Xi's figure until Chen Xi agreed to her. That night, she couldn't sleep because of excitement, and worried about gains and losses every day, fearing that she wouldn't be able to keep this windy man.

But one day, she woke up from her dream, and she lost this man.

Now, she stood in front of this man again, but she couldn't see any nostalgia for herself in this man's eyes. In his eyes, there was only the girl's frown and smile, his eyes were so gentle and doting.She is a materialist and never believed in fate before.One person will be another person's doom, but now, she believes that Chen Xi is her doom, and Chen Xi's wife is Chen Xi's doom.

"It's me who brought shame on myself." How crazy the love was before, how desperate is the heart now.

Heng'e smiled, as if she never cared about Chen Xi's past. "Actually, Miss Tan, have you ever thought that it's not that you have no chance of marrying Chen Xi?"

Heartbroken, Tan Sally looked at Heng'e in astonishment.

Hearing Heng'e's voice, he said leisurely: "Miss Tan has a concubine sister named Jasmine. It is said that she is Marshal Tan's second favorite daughter besides you. Your concubine sister not only married to the Zhou family in southern Yunnan , and even married Zhou Wangshu, the eldest son of the Zhou family. In the Jiaqing period of the Zhou family in southern Yunnan, there were ancestors who went from official to Tiren Pavilion, and Zhou Wangshu’s great-grandfather was also the governor of Yunnan. To put it bluntly, even if the son of Zhou's family married his step-wife, he would not have set his sights on the daughter of the Tan family. However, the marriage of Lingmei has come to fruition. Miss Tan, don't be in a hurry to refute me..."

Heng'e looked at Tan Sally, whose face was flushed, with eyes as soft as mist, and there was a bit of pity in her voice: "Miss Tan, you might as well think about it carefully, this marriage of your sister is more important than what you want to marry Chen. Xi, it is much more difficult. After all, your father has an army in his hands, and the Tan and Chen families are married, and both sides are even more powerful. But why, Chen Xi tied you back and sent you to your father. As your father's favorite Daughter, I was confined for half a year until my marriage with Chen Xi was a done deal. But your concubine sister was able to get her wish."

There was a touch of sympathy in Heng'e's eyes, looking at Tan Sally as if looking at an ignorant child: "Miss Tan, if I were you, I would definitely think carefully and fear."

What Heng'e said slowly set off a storm in Tan Sally's heart.She shook her head instinctively, resisting in her heart to believe everything Heng'e said, but her brain seemed to be self-conscious, constantly flashing scenes of the past of the Tan family, even the very different eyes of her father when he looked at her and Jasmine. .

She thought that every time she asked for something from her father, her father would first pretend not to give it to her, and when she was about to lose her temper, he would connive and nod helplessly. The appearance of a serious sentence, but she never cared about it before, but now she can clearly recall that whatever precious jewelry or beautiful clothes she wanted, her father would always secretly send a copy to Jasmine.She could always see things similar to hers in Jasmine's room. Although the styles and colors might be a little different, they were no less valuable than what she had.Even though, every time my father saw the concubine sister, he always had a straight face.

There is a kind of intimacy, like fire on coals, it feels warm when you look at it, but once you touch it, you will be burned by the fire, while the other kind is the water flowing under the ice, which seems cold and untouchable, but as long as you Break that layer of ice, and the warmth in it will flow to your heart.

Tan Sally couldn't believe that her father's doting on her for more than [-] years would be a dream.

Seeing Tan Sally's distraught look, Heng'e knew she had guessed right.I'm afraid this Miss Tan is just a showman in southern Yunnan.Heng'e curled the corners of her lips in an imperceptible way.For a girl like Tan Sally who has no city, even if Tan Songlin really loves this daughter, he can make her suspicious and give birth to a dark ghost, not to mention that Tan Songlin is so dispensable to this daughter.

Heng'e gave Tan Sally another dose of strong medicine: "Miss Tan, have you heard of killing? I'll tell you a story, and you just take it as a joke. This happened a few years ago."

In the middle, the Qing guest refilled Heng'e with a cup of tea. Tan Shali, who was in a daze, realized that the texture of the tray brought to Heng'e by the maid was very different from that of the white porcelain tray in the western restaurant.

This is a tea tray carved from boxwood wood with the three stars of fortune, wealth and longevity. On the tea tray is a sky blue glazed crab claw pattern lotus tea bowl. Fortunately, Tan Sally's father is arty and likes to collect antiques. Otherwise, Tan Sally would not even know the material of this tea bowl. Can't recognize it.

I saw a bowl of tea soup in the bowl, which was green and bright in color, and a curly snail-like bud leaf floated on the tea soup, and the fragrance was overflowing in the mist. Yichang.It's just that Tan Sally doesn't understand tea, so she can't tell what kind of tea it is.
