Except for Xu Nuo and Hu Ling, the wives in Qiyun Society were not of high status. They were either concubines or their fathers and grandfathers did not have high-level positions.
Several concubine ladies were taken seriously by their families because they suddenly had the opportunity to enter the palace. The matrons of each family went to great lengths to find etiquette nuns to train them. They even made a few extra sets of New Year's clothes.
In previous years, they could only stay in the inner courtyard for the first few days of the year, but this year they had more opportunities to visit and accompany their mistress to receive guests.
In formal occasions like New Year's greetings when appearing on stage, as long as you are a woman, you will inevitably put on a ladylike attitude.
As for Hu Ling, of course he does not belong to them.
However, once the ladylike attitude is put up, it is not easy to put it down again.
Not everyone can switch between being virtuous and polite and being cheerful and casual like Xu Nuo.
Seeing these five good ladies who were bullied on a daily basis but feeling strong in their hearts, who wanted to change their lives and were led astray, Xu Nuo spent some time talking, citing scriptures, and explaining a lot of truths before he was able to explain what a group of ladies were saying. Feeling ashamed.
Seeing that everyone had some thoughts, Xu Nuo stopped immediately.
Hu Ling took this opportunity to say some encouraging words, and the group started practicing again.
This time, both the coordination of movements and the control of rhythm are much better than before.
Lu Jiuniang has never played Cuju, but because of her love for Cuju, her research on Cuju competition is as good as that of other ladies in Qiyun Society. In theory, she can be said to have an absolute advantage.
During the practice on the second day, Lu Jiuniang showed Hu Ling the drawings of Cuju kicking techniques that she usually conceived, and wanted to ask Hu Ling whether these movements could be performed realistically.
Lu Jiuniang is actually not very confident in the pictures she draws because she has never successfully made these movements at home.
Hu Ling looked at the drawings and immediately grinned.
His arms pressed heavily on Lu Jiuniang's shoulders. He leaned over and praised: "Jiu Niang, I didn't expect you to have such ability?"
Lu Jiuniang never expected that Hu Ling would suddenly press on her. She hurriedly pushed Hu Ling's hand away and subconsciously said: "It's too heavy."
Hulington paused, put down his arm, and asked doubtfully: "Am I pressing you down?"
There was something incredible in his tone.
She usually makes promises like this. But I haven't seen Xu Nuo say even a word.
Xu Nuo was organizing things aside. After hearing this, he said with a bit of ridicule: "No one else can bear your great strength, that is, I have indulged you again and again."
After hearing this, Hu Ling still had an incredulous expression on his face. He shook his head and said, "I basically didn't use any force?"
She knew that she was stronger than an ordinary woman, but not that much.
It must be that other ladies are too fragile.
Lu Jiuniang's body has been average since she was a child, and her strength has never been very strong. Naturally, she cannot withstand Hu Ling's slap.
Lu Jiuniang felt a little embarrassed immediately after pushing Hu Ling away. The two have only known each other for two days, although Hu Ling is easy to get along with. She had a casual temperament, but it was a bit rude for her to push Hu Ling away like this.
So he explained: "I was just shocked. It doesn't mean that Sanniang you are too strong."
"Don't explain it to her, it's just the facts." As Xu Nuo spoke, he raised his eyebrows and reached out to take the drawing in Hu Ling's hand to look at it.
The painting is really good. And it's a brand new kicking method, some of which are somewhat similar to her previous ideas and can be combined. Make the most perfect style when performing Cuju.
Performing Cuju requires specific costumes, and Chuntang was silently responsible for the construction of the costumes. As for Xu Nuo and Hu Ling's clothes, she made them herself.
So every time she comes to Hu's house to practice Cuju with Xu Nuo, she is often busier than Xu Nuo.
On the 13th day of the first lunar month, Xu Nuo got up early, did morning exercises, went to Yingcheng Yuan to say hello, and prepared to take the bus to Hu Mansion.
As soon as he left the Chuihua Gate, he was stopped by the maid who ran over in a hurry.
It turned out that Prince Ning's Mansion posted the message, and the Lord of Jiaren County invited her to a party.
Tomorrow Qiyun Society will perform Cuju in the palace, and the post from Lord Jiaren arrived early this morning?
Xu Nuo had to think that Lord Jiaren County had ulterior motives.
This thought is too obvious, but Jiaren County Lord has a high status, so naturally he is not afraid of others' speculation or rumors.
Xu Nuo didn't want to go from the bottom of his heart, but he didn't refuse the post during the Chinese New Year, and it was a post from the county boss.
Although she was unwilling, Chun Tang had to go to the Hu Mansion on her behalf to explain the matter clearly, and then sent a message asking her to rush back as soon as possible and try to have one last rehearsal with everyone.
The carriage originally going to Hu's Mansion rushed to Prince Ning's Mansion.
After Xu Nuo arrived at Prince Ning's Mansion, he couldn't help but feel a little angry as he walked on the corridor that he had walked through before.
The head of Jiaren County didn't send anyone to pick her up outside?
She asked people to go in and report, and what came out from the head of Jiaren County was: "Mrs. Xu Liu and I are so close. With such a relationship, we don't need to care about false courtesy. Let her come in quickly."
There is no false etiquette, so there is no one to guide the way.
The Lord of Jiaren County doesn’t even do anything to save face now?
Qi Qi noticed that his wife was walking faster and faster, and knew that she was unhappy.
However, who would feel happy if such a thing happened?
With this thought in mind, I picked up my skirt and hurriedly followed.
When he entered the house, no one opened the curtain for Xu Nuo. Qi Qiyue hurried forward when he saw her.
Xu Nuo was a little quicker. He opened the curtain and strode in.
As soon as I entered, I saw many familiar faces.
Basically everyone from the Huafang Society is here, and there are also some noble daughters from other official families.
Xu Nuo sneered in his heart.
The Hongmen Banquet held by Jiaren County Lord was too obvious.
"Liu Niang, sit down quickly." The Lord Jiaren County was originally talking happily to the people next to him. When he saw Xu Nuo coming in, he greeted Xu Nuo cordially and pointed to a seat for Xu Nuo to sit down.
Xu Nuo glanced coldly, then withdrew his gaze and saluted the Lord Ben Jiaren.
Even if she is angry, she will not break the rules and be caught.
Jiaren County Lord's eyes flashed, Feng Qingyun said calmly: "Why are Liu Niang so polite? There is no need for this to happen between you and me."
Nasty!
nausea!
abnormal!
Xu Nuo smiled back and said in a more casual voice than Jiaren County Lord: "Liu Niang is not talented, but she has only met Jiaren County Lord a few times. She really doesn't dare to call her sisters, and naturally she doesn't dare to let Jiaren County Lord The Lord calls me Liu Niang, so it’s better to call me Xu Liu Niang.”
The implication is: We are not familiar with each other, so stop pretending. As for the title Liu Niang, it is not yours to call her.
The words were spoken back, and the smile on Jiaren County Chief's face did not diminish.
She just wanted to delay Xu Nuo from practicing Cuju today. As for Xu Nuo's attitude, it had nothing to do with her.
Of course, the angrier the better.
First, let those who are doing it today know that making promises does not mean being knowledgeable and sensible, but rather being irritable and impetuous.
Secondly, I promise that if I am angry, I will inevitably make mistakes when doing the complicated Cuju movements tomorrow.
Tomorrow, all civil and military officials will be watching. (To be continued)
