Chapter 70 Selection
"When I was young, I lived in my grandfather's house. There was a girl in the Wang family school. Her parents passed away. She asked someone to ask her aunt to study at the Wang family. After studying for less than two years, she was valued by the visiting wife and recommended to the elders in the family. My son said we are close, now we have a pair of sons and daughters, although the family is not as powerful as the Wang family, it is also a noble and progressive family, living a stable life."
Li Yu's words are tantamount to telling the truth that when wives choose girls and boys, family background is only one of them, and what matters is character.
Lin Yue took her hand and smiled: "Thank you, I'm sorry for making you so troublesome."
"Fool, we are all in trouble together, I hope you are doing well."
"I'm still a bit lucky, otherwise how could I know you, a lucky star."
Lin Yue stretched out her hand and scratched her nose. This silly girl was sincere, as transparent as glass, and treated others sincerely without expecting anything in return.
"Let me tell you, the Wang family school is very strict. Now my little uncle is in charge of the school. He is very fierce."
Li Yu wrinkled her nose and led her for a walk in the royal garden.
"Aren't you always naughty?"
Lin Yue took her eyes sideways.
"No, I'm very good."
"If you say you are smart, you are second to none, but if you say good, I don't believe it, you are not a good boy."
Lin Yue shook her head.
Li Yu and her cousin are both geniuses, the type of people with super talents, it is really flattering to compare with her, but her character is definitely not a good girl.
Li Yu pouted, "Why are you running on people?"
"I don't hate you, I praise you for being smart."
"I'm not patient enough. It's true that I was enlightened by my uncles when I was young, and I was beaten a lot."
Li Yu admitted it himself, and smiled embarrassedly.
"Yu'er, I don't envy your good-looking people from a good family. I only envy you for having a group of parents who love you and teach you correctly. This is what I envy the most in my heart."
Lin Yue looked at her with gentle eyes, no longer jealous or aggressive, and she has also grown up after reading thousands of sails.
Li Yu's happiness does not lie in her talent and family background, but her luck lies in having parents who love and care for her growing up, giving her full freedom and care, correct guidance does not limit her nature, taps her potential, and allows her Don't be bound by etiquette and human words.
"In the future, you can also study in the Royal Academy and get correct teaching."
"You're right. This is my last chance to change my destiny. After experiencing so many things, I understand that if you want to change your destiny, you must first improve yourself. Those who are capable can stand up no matter what situation they encounter. Confidence comes from one's own ability."
Lin Yue understood this through countless encounters and painful lessons.
"You also have your own strengths. You play Xiangdao very well, and your embroidery is also very smart. My cousin Hui also likes Xiangdao. You can discuss it."
"Incense is very expensive, and I only had the opportunity to come into contact with it at Gu's house..."
Lin Yue plays with cheap materials, and she can't afford the expensive ones. After all, it's someone else's house, and she's not shameless enough to waste Gu's family's money at will.
"No, what I'm talking about is that you are very sensitive to taste. You saw the incense that my cousin Hui ordered a while ago, and you accurately stated the types of spices in it. You are very good, and I can't even tell you everything."
Li Yu has a good personality, and if others are good, she will applaud you and recognize your excellence.
Lin Yue was so embarrassed by the praise, she blushed, "It's not really a strength, I have a good nose since I was a child, I can remember its smell after smelling it a few times, and I can smell it the next time I meet .”
"It's amazing, I haven't heard you mention it before."
"It's not a skill, it's just a good nose. It's different from others who work hard to learn their skills. I'm opportunistic."
Lin Yue shook her head.
Li Yu saw that she was tired from walking, so she came to sit in the gazebo for a while.
"Go and get some tea."
"yes."
After a while, the girls came over with refreshments.
"Miss Lin, can you taste what kind of water this is?"
Shaoyao listened to them talking, trying to make her master happy.
"I'll give it a try, don't laugh at me if it's not good."
"Won't."
Lin Yue took a sip of tea carefully and said, "It's Tieguanyin. This water is the dew on the lotus leaves. It feels frivolous and has the fragrance of lotus leaves."
Shaoyao clapped her hands in admiration, and the girls also showed admiration.
Lin Yue blushed slightly, but her eyes were filled with joy and joy.
"You are amazing. You can work **** the tea ceremony and incense ceremony. If you like embroidery, just poke it twice. Don't snap your eyes."
Li Yu applauded her.
Lin Yue saw that Li Yu's eyes were full of admiration and joy for herself, and thanked her with a blushing face.
"I listen to you, go to school and study hard."
"Is that right, come and eat this snack, this is my favorite, try it."
"Well, it's full of milk flavor and delicious."
"Eating more dairy products is good for your health."
"Yu'er, are we going to pick people in a while? I don't know how to pick people. You have to help me choose some sensible and polite people."
Lin Yue really doesn't understand these things, the things she learns are too scattered and she doesn't study them seriously.
"Put it on me, I'll tell you how to pick someone later."
"good."
The two had refreshments and played a game of chess for a while.
Peony came over to call for someone.
"Cousin girl, the human tooth is here, and the eldest lady asked you two to pick some girls."
"Go, go and have a look."
"Um."
Li Yu took her by the hand and went to the main hall, where the eldest aunt Qin was handling family affairs, and the old lady basically didn't care about common affairs unless it was a big one.
"Auntie, we are here."
"Say hello to Da Furen, I have made you worry and troubled."
Lin Yue saluted immediately when she saw someone.
"What are you doing with such polite words? Come here, the teeth are here. I was thinking that you should also buy some little girls to teach you. You are approaching your age. You can't do without a caring person around you."
It means that when the age is reached, it is time to talk about kissing, and dowry to a maid is also a very important part.
"Madam, I don't understand these, how many should I choose?"
Lin Yue blushed slightly, hesitated for a while and decided to ask without shame.
"Is your former girl gone?"
Qin only said a few words from Li Yu's mother, and she didn't know anything about Lin Yue's situation.
"I dare not lie to you, my family is gone. In the past, my ancestors were merchants and only my father was an official. I learned this rule from my aunt. The Gu family has a palace nanny who taught for a year, but I learned the rules. It’s superficial, I married my ex-girl before, she was my aunt’s maid who served me, my family used to have a younger brother..."
Lin Yue struggled to piece together her situation to Qin.
Qin suddenly realized, looking at her with more pity.
"I understand, then choose four girls, the two older girls can be used after teaching the rules, and the two younger ones are reserved."
"Okay, I listen to you."
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand, you look at your younger sister Yu'er and Hui'er, how they look like the girl in front of you, you can compare them according to the constraints of cats and tigers. You can learn the rules slowly, but the people around you must be correct."
Seeing that Lin Yue was seriously asking for advice, Mrs. Qin was willing to say one more word, which was also due to compassion.
"Yes, Madam, please teach me."
Lin Yue stood up and bowed seriously.
"How about this? The nurse Lin in front of me has been teaching the rules in the school, but she hasn't taught them in the past two years. I will let her go to your yard to help you restrain the rules of the servants, lest you are young and thin-skinned. The senior slaves have been taken care of."
"The younger generation is very grateful, thank you aunt for your pity, I will definitely learn the rules from my mother."
Lin Yue was enlightened this time. The nanny in front of the eldest daughter-in-law of the Wang family taught the girls manners in the school. When she came to her, she was flattered.
Qin nodded in satisfaction.
Li Yu secretly gave her a thumbs up and nodded, which means you handled it very well.
