New Auntie 27

  The old lady couldn't help but praise: "After all, Yu is good at dressing up, the color and pattern are well-matched, young girls don't necessarily need to be made of good material, as long as they wear it elegantly and brightly, it's very good."

  Wanyi also nodded in agreement, thinking back to when her elder sister entered the palace, she didn't wear any expensive fabrics, but instead wore relatively ordinary fabrics, yet the colors were very vibrant and refreshing, it was a pleasure to look at, one can't help but say that this kind of dressing makes people feel good, far better than showing off with luxurious and grand clothes.

  On that day, her mother also secretly praised her elder sister and took the opportunity to teach herself with her elder sister's affairs. She said that her elder sister was dressed very appropriately, and in the imperial palace, she had seen all kinds of rich and noble children, but no matter how beautifully they were dressed, it was just like a poor imitation. Moreover, at a young age, she couldn't pull off overly luxurious clothes, so it's better to take advantage of her own youthful and lively advantages, making people see that she is also a well-behaved child who understands etiquette.

  Wanyi really likes the light gray and agate red fabric in her hand, the color is elegant, and the floral pattern is also small and suitable for her age, which matches well.

  "Sister, do you think I should make a vest or a jacket?" Wan Yi was hesitant, tugging at the fabric.

  Wan Yu glanced at her and smiled, "The sky horse is about to get hot, let's make a thin jacket. It's pretty good for going out. The skirt can be made into a hundred-pleated skirt with embroidered colorful butterflies that match this color very well."

  Wanyi listened with increasing satisfaction, nodding repeatedly, "Still, big sister is impressive, it's decided then."

  "It just so happens that you've made new clothes, and in a few days I have a banquet to attend. I can take you all with me, but I'll let you know later. However, it's essential to learn the rules, as losing face for the Murong household is no trivial matter." Madam Li scanned the children before her gaze finally settled on Yun Shu.

  "It's really great." Yanni smiled happily.

  After the commotion had died down, everyone returned to their rooms with beautiful fabrics. Yuanyu also went back, and when Nainai saw the fabric in Peony's hands, she smiled and said: "What's with the fabric again? You can't even finish wearing all the new clothes you've made."

  Wanyu washed her hands and sat under the window of Haitang, picked up the embroidered pouch and smiled: "Let's make some clothes, later sort out my closet, the clothes that can't be worn and the fabrics that are not taboo will be given to the younger maids to wear, or made into cushions or pouches, otherwise it would be a waste."

  "It's indeed, I've been thinking about organizing these days off and on. Before the New Year, it was busy too, didn't have time to take care of it. Now that it's hot today, it's really time to organize it." The nanny said with a smile, patting her hand.

  Wanyu smiled and glanced at the wet nurse, "Cheng Gege is also getting older, I mentioned to my mother earlier that he should come to my courtyard first to run errands, get familiar with the situation, and see what he can do in the future. In my heart, I was thinking of letting Brother Nai go to the shop to learn business, so that he can help me in the future, what do you think?"

  The wet nurse has two sons. The elder one, Fu Ge, follows his big brother to learn how to be a scribe. The younger one, Cheng Ge, she plans to let him learn business, so he can support himself in the future.

  The wet nurse was overjoyed and said with a smile: "Alright, let's listen to the young lady. Her father is a dullard who only knows how to farm and manage the estate, he won't bother us. Your brother can follow the young master, I'm at ease. Only this little one is mischievous, always climbing up to the roof and removing tiles, never stopping."

  Wanyu smiled and said, "I think Chengzi is a clever and capable person. Have you seen how he always makes the gatekeeper's wife smile whenever he passes through the second gate? He's also very familiar with the servants and maids, which is something not many people can do."

  She just values Chengzi's smoothness, but has a bottom line. Someone suggested that he should be his godmother, and he was confused and passed by. He can't offend anyone. Every time he comes to see the nanny, he brings her many fun things and snacks, all of which are said to be earned by himself, and his parents don't know about it. This skill is not something that anyone can do.

  The wet nurse saw Yuwen treating her son with such importance, and she was delighted in her heart. "Don't praise him," she said. "If you ask me, it's fine to learn skills, but first we must test him to see if he can withstand the trials. Otherwise, he'll bring about a great disaster in the future, and even if I had three heads and six arms, I wouldn't be able to protect him. If he's just looking for an easy life, it would be better for him to go to the countryside and struggle to fill his belly."

  The wet nurse was originally a child of a wealthy family, but later fell into poverty and was sold together with He Yiniang, still having some insight and calculation.

  Wan Yu smiled slightly and said firmly, "I believe that none of you brothers are so shallow. Rich brother has now gained the trust of older brother, although he is not eloquent, but he is down-to-earth, which is what older brother values."

  Honesty has its uses and flattery has its uses; it all depends on whether the way of dealing with people is used well or not.

  The nanny smiled with relief, let out a deep sigh, "As long as you three children are safe and sound, I am at peace." Looking out the window at the sky, she thought to herself that if her sister were to see how big Yuqi had grown, she would definitely be delighted.

  Wan Yu embroidered a purse under the sunlight, with clusters of flowers that were beautifully and movingly blooming, symbolizing beautiful love. She smiled mockingly, only hoping that he wouldn't forget in the future.

  The wet nurse glanced over and asked in a low voice: "Is this for...?" Her eyes were filled with inquiry.

  Wan Yu nodded slightly, "Don't tell Mother about it, lest she worries again."

  The Li family has always disagreed with Yuwen getting too close to Rui Cheng, lest she be looked down upon in the future. However, Grandma's orders cannot be disobeyed, and Yuwen herself does not want to be looked down upon either. The line between them is difficult to grasp, but fortunately, they are still young and can interact like siblings. Yuwen has always been vague about her relationship with Rui Cheng, almost never calling him "older male cousin" but instead calling him "older brother", creating a misunderstanding that the children are too young to understand.

  The wet nurse sighed and didn't say anything, picking up the fabric, "Let's make a jacket and skirt, I think the lake green color is really nice."

  "En, you watch and see." Yuwen smiled carelessly.

  In less than two days, the old lady invited a wet nurse to come to the door. It was a wet nurse with the surname Zhang, who had a good relationship with Wang wet nurse and came to the Murong family after receiving her letter of invitation.

  An old lady sent someone to call a few maidservants to go and meet people together. Yuanyu wore a light pink embroidered purple wisteria flower soft satin narrow sleeve jacket, tied with a sky blue embroidered auspicious character pattern eight auspicious Hunan skirt after the rain, combed a simple hanging bun, used a silk ribbon to tie her hair, adorned with simple small emerald green beads, elegant and lovely.

  A few girls lined up in a row, tender and delicate like flowers at their age, each with their own characteristics, none surpassing the others.

  The old lady smiled and introduced to several girls, "This is your Zhang Niangniang, who will teach you rules in the future. Give a salute to Zhang Niangniang, and learn well from now on."

  "Old slave doesn't dare, old slave has seen miss, and asks for miss's well-being."

  Wan Yu led the way slowly and gave Zhang a gift of good fortune, "Give greetings to your aunt."

  Zhang's eyes scanned the girls, and her gaze fell on Yuwen. She looked at her for a few moments, revealing an interested expression. Unexpectedly, this young girl had already grown into a beauty with elegant features, gentle and soft as water, yet not showy or aggressive, making people feel approachable and refreshing, exuding a comfortable aura. Like the lotus flowers in the pond, gently swayed by the breeze, they revealed their ethereal beauty.

  "Ah, so this is the young mistress, I presume? Indeed, she has a heavenly beauty, no wonder Old Lady Wang has been keeping her under wraps." She chuckled to herself.

  Wan Yu felt a bit embarrassed, slightly lowering her eyelids, "A young girl with a slender willow-like figure dares not accept such praise."

  "Indeed, it's different when taught by Wang Pozi. Alright, let's start class tomorrow and see how the old lady does."

  After taking a look around, I had an idea. Except for Yuwen and the youngest one, the other two girls looked like they were not well-bred. If you want to take them out without being laughed at, they still need to work hard to learn some skills.

  The old lady also understood this truth, so she sincerely entrusted, "Then trouble the aunt to take more care of it. The wing room has been cleaned up. If there is anything lacking, just order Xiaoying to report to me."

  "Don't worry, since I've taken on this task, I'll definitely make sure to get them in line and live up to my reputation." Zhang Yini confidently smoothed out the stray hairs by her temples.

  The old lady nodded reassuringly and gave them a few more instructions before letting them go.

  Zhang Ayi returned to the room to tidy up, and then Wang Ayi finally arrived with Wan Yu, "Zhang Ayi, come out quickly to welcome the guests." Wang Ayi shouted at the gate of the courtyard.

  Zhang's wife walked out slowly, glared at her with a bad temper, "You old thing, what are you yelling about? You're getting younger and more energetic as you age?"

  The queen mother smiled complacently and glanced at her, "Well, who made you not come out earlier? Look at my wonderful life now. Come and take a look at my apprentice Yuwen Wan, how is she?"

  Wanyu gave Zhang Ayi a curtsy, her movements as smooth and natural as floating clouds and flowing water, her posture elegant and beautiful.

  Zhang's eyes showed a hint of approval, "You old woman, speak your mind directly, don't think I don't know what kind of evil water you're harboring for me."

  The queen smiled and said, "Nothing much, I just want you to teach the kids how to play the piano. My piano skills are not as good as yours, after all."

  This is the main reason why she took the initiative to find someone for the Murong family, otherwise she wouldn't be so idle. If it weren't for Yuwen, she wouldn't care about anyone else's life and death, and finding a good excuse for Yuwen was just an afterthought.

  Zhang Ayi looked up and down at Wenyu before saying: "Stretch out your hand, let me take a look."

  Wanyu respected capable people and obediently did as she was told, extending her slender white hands for inspection.

  "Do you understand music scores? Can you play any tunes?" Zhang's nanny didn't answer immediately, but instead asked very carefully.

  "Or let her recite a poem for you and see how good she is." Wang's nanny quickly chimed in.

  Zhang's aunt gave her a white eye, "I knew you were up to no good, and now you're giving me more trouble for nothing."

  "Hehe, who made you the most outstanding one on the piano?" Wang Ayi generously praised her old friend.

  "Go get your zither then. I'll teach you if you can endure the hardship." Zhang's wife turned back into the house with a nonchalant attitude.
