Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 114 - 51: Embroideress_2

Chapter 114: Chapter 51: Embroideress_2

Yuehuan had also heard about this matter and found it quite strange. Even she, as an outsider, knew that here a wet nurse was akin to a mother! Recalling the legendary wet nurse of the Kangxi Emperor, Li family, shed some light. Because she was Kangxi’s wet nurse, she was later honored as a First Rank Lady; she also brought prosperity to the Cao family. Truly, when one ascends to the heavens, even their chickens and dogs ascend with them.

Yuehuan fell into deep thought. The Third Young Lady, not minding her reputation, insisted on dismissing the wet nurse. What could be the reason? There must be a story here.

Yuehuan’s heart skipped a beat, and she suddenly widened her eyes. Then shaking her head, she muttered to herself: “No, no, it must be my overthinking.”

Hong Mei quietly asked, “Miss, what are you overthinking about?”

Yuehuan glanced at Hong Mei and shook her head: “Nothing.” Maternal Auntie had warned her to be wary of Hong Mei and Hong Yi, not to confide in them.

An idea had just flashed through Yuehuan’s mind, she speculated that the Third Young Lady’s actions did not seem like she had time-traveled but rather like she had been reborn, having returned from the future to the present. However, looking at Yueyao’s demeanor, she did not seem like someone reborn. Those reborn, especially those who had not lived well, should be filled with resentment and seek revenge, unlike Yueyao’s calm and peaceful nature.

...

The weather in September began to cool. Even with the sun, it was not too hot. But sweat beads still formed on Yuehuan’s forehead.

However, Yueyao didn’t feel the heat but rather, had Hua Lei take away the indigo umbrella from her hand, and said to Hua Lei and Qiao Lan, “From tomorrow on, you two will follow me.” The maid also needed to be educated. Only by thoroughly learning the rules and mastering them can one use them effortlessly and not be constrained by them, and also be able to prevent others from using rules to suppress them.

Hua Lei and Qiao Lan nodded together, “Miss, don’t worry, we will learn well.” Learning these things well is only beneficial and not harmful.

Yuebing arrived at the main house, looking gloomy, and said to Madam family, “Mother, the nurturing nanny’s face looks like a coffin, it scares me. Mother, can I not follow her to study anymore?” Yuebing truly did not want to study under Nanny Wang anymore.

The face of Madam family darkened: “What nonsense are you talking, your grandmother spent a lot of effort to find her, and if you do not study the rules properly with nanny, mother will have your father discipline you with the family laws.” The so-called family laws meant not allowing Yuebing to go out and also grounding her to copy Buddhist scriptures in the room. This was very painful for Yuebing. Therefore, she really disdained Yueyao’s frivolous use of copying scriptures as a threat.

Watching Yuebing leave in a huff, Madam family shook her head and said, “This child is spoiled by me. Fortunately, it is still timely to correct her now.” With the nurturing nanny rigorously supervising by the side, she believed her daughter’s character would soon change and she wouldn’t act so recklessly, making arranging her marriage difficult in the future.

Maternal Aunt Su also received the news that the Old Madam had invited not only the nurturing nanny but also a female teacher and embroideress. Maternal Aunt Su was overjoyed upon hearing this.

When Yuehuan returned, Maternal Aunt Su eagerly asked her about the details.

Maternal Aunt Su sensed that Yuehuan was very interested in Guqin, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting, and Poetry and Songs. Maternal Aunt Su suddenly became serious and said, “Miss, a female teacher, having been paid, will diligently teach you various arts. But biting off more than you can chew isn’t good, one cannot be proficient in everything. To master each of Guqin, Chess, Calligraphy, Painting, and Poetry and Songs would require a great deal of energy and time. Fourth Miss, not only do you have to learn these but also sewing and cooking, and later, even managing the household affairs, there simply isn’t enough time to master everything comprehensively. Fourth Miss, it’s better to learn one or two fields thoroughly than to have a little knowledge of many things.” Maternal Aunt Su told Yuehuan that the only skill that didn’t require special effort was embroidery. Maternal Aunt Su herself was a master at embroidery, not necessarily inferior to Embroidery Lady Mah. However, what she was proficient in was Beijing embroidery, while Embroidery Lady Mah taught Su embroidery, each type of regional embroidery having its own unique characteristics. Maternal Aunt Su believed that her daughter wasn’t making a living out of embroidery, anything she made in the future just needed to be presentable, and she could teach her that.

Yuehuan was somewhat surprised after hearing this. She had not expected Maternal Aunt Su to be such a perceptive person. Unless blessed by heaven with exceptional talents, who could possibly master everything? Yuehuan thought for a moment and said, “Auntie, I want to learn painting, I love painting.”
