"When I was a child, there was a girl in the Wang family school in my maternal grandfather's house. Her parents passed away. She asked her aunt to come to the Wang family to study. After studying for less than two years, she was valued by the visiting lady. She recommended it to the elders in the clan and became her nephew in the family.

We talked about getting married, and now we have a son and a daughter. Although our family is not as powerful as the Wang family, it is still a noble and progressive family, and we live a stable life."

Li Yu's words are a blunt statement. When ladies choose girls and boys, family background is only one of them. The most important thing is character.

Lin Yue held her hand and smiled: "Thank you, I'm sorry for asking you to bother me like this."

"Fool, at least we share the same sorrow. I hope you live well."

"I'm quite lucky, otherwise I wouldn't have met you."

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 uncle is in charge of the school, and he is very cruel."

Li Yu wrinkled her nose and took her for a walk in Wang's garden.

"Are you always naughty?"

Lin Yue glanced at her.

"No, I'm very good."

"If I say you're smart, you're the best. But if you say you're good, I don't believe you. You're not a good boy."

Lin Yue shook her head.

Li Yu and her cousin are both geniuses, the kind of people with super talents. It's really annoying to compare with her, but her character is by no means a good girl.

Li Yu said flatly, "Why are you trying to bully people?"

"I won't criticize you, but praise you for being smart."

"I don't have enough patience. My uncles gave me enlightenment when I was young. It's true that I was beaten a lot."

Li Yu admitted it to herself, laughing sheepishly.

"Yu'er, I don't envy you for being a good-looking person from a good family. I only envy you for having a group of relatives who love you and teach you the right way. This is what I'm most jealous of from the bottom of my heart."

Lin Yue looked at her with gentle eyes, no longer jealous or aggressive. She had grown up after reading Qianfan.

Li Yu's happiness does not lie in her talent or family background. Her luck lies in having parents who loved and cared for her when she grew up. They gave her full freedom and care, and provided her with correct guidance that did not limit her nature, tapped her potential, and allowed her to

Don't be bound by etiquette and people's words.

"In the future, you can also study at the Wang Family School and get correct instruction."

"You are 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. People with ability can turn around 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 are very good at incense, and you are also very clever in embroidery. My cousin Hui also likes incense. You can discuss it carefully."

"Incense is very expensive, and I only had the opportunity to get it at the Gu family..."

Lin Yue played with cheap materials, too expensive to afford. After all, it was someone else's house, and she was not shameless enough to waste the Gu family's money at will.

"No, what I'm saying is that you are very sensitive to taste. Not long ago, you saw the incense that my cousin Hui ordered and accurately named the types of spices in it. You are very good, and I can't even tell you all."

Li Yu has a good personality, and she will applaud you and recognize your excellence if others do well.

Lin Yue was embarrassed by the praise, and blushed, "It's not really a strength. My nose has been very good since I was a child. I can remember its scent after smelling it a few times, and I can smell it next time.

.”

"It's so awesome, I've never heard of you mentioning it."

"This is not a skill at all. It's just a clever nose. It's different from others who work hard to learn skills. I'm just opportunistic."

Lin Yue shook her head.

Li Yu saw that she was tired from walking, so she came to sit in the pavilion for a while.

"Go 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 their conversation and took part in making her master happy.

"I'll give it a try. Don't laugh at me if you say it's not good."

"Won't."

Lin Yue tasted the tea carefully and then said: "It's Tieguanyin. The water is the dew on the lotus leaves. It has a sense of frivolity and the fragrance of the lotus leaves."

"That's amazing. You are absolutely right. I personally collected the morning dew on the lotus leaves."

Shaoyao clapped her hands in praise, and several girls also looked appreciative.

Lin Yue blushed slightly, but her eyes were a little more excited and happy.

"You are so awesome. You can work hard at the tea ceremony and the incense ceremony. If you like embroidery, just poke it twice. Don't break your eyes."

Li Yu applauded her.

Lin Yue saw that Li Yu's eyes were full of admiration and joy for her, and she blushed and said thank you.

"I listened to you and went to school to study hard."

"Is this right? Come and eat this snack. This is my favorite. Try it."

"Yeah, it's full of milky flavor and delicious."

"Eating more dairy products is good for your health."

"Yu'er, are we going to pick someone later? I don't know how to pick, but you have to help me pick a few people who are sensible and polite."

Lin Yue really didn't understand this. What she learned was too scattered and she had never studied it seriously.

"Take care of me and I'll tell you how to pick someone later."

"good."

The two had tea and played a game of chess for a while.

Peony came over to call for help.

"Cousin, Ren Yazi is here, and the eldest lady wants you two to pick some girls."

"Let's go and have a look."

"Um."

Li Yu took her hand and went to the main hall, where her eldest aunt Qin was handling household affairs. The old lady basically did not take care of the common affairs unless there were important matters.

"Auntie, we are here."

"Greetings to Madam, I have made you worry and tired."

Lin Yue saluted immediately when she saw someone.

"Why are you saying such polite words? Come on, Ren Yazi is here. I'm thinking that you should also buy some little girls to teach you. You are getting older and it's not okay if you don't have a caring person around you to take care of you."

This means that it is time to marry when you are old, and marrying a maid is also a very important part.

"Madam, I don't understand this. Which ones should I choose?"

Lin Yue blushed slightly, hesitated for a moment and decided not to be ashamed to ask.

"Is your old girl gone?"

Mrs. Qin only said a few words from Li Yu's mother, and knew little about Lin Yue's situation.

"I dare not lie to you. My family is gone. My ancestors were merchants and only my father was an official. I learned these rules from my aunt. The Gu family has a nun in the palace who taught me for a year, but I learned

I'm very humble. I married the girl in front of me before, so my aunt's maidservant served me. I used to have a younger brother in my family..."

Lin Yue struggled to piece together her situation to Qin.

Mrs. Qin suddenly realized that she looked at her with more pity.

"I understand, then choose four girls. The two older girls will be able to use it after being taught the rules, and the two younger girls will be kept as backup."

"Okay, I listen to you."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. When you look at your sisters Yu'er and Hui'er, they are like the girls in front of you. Just follow the constraints of cats and tigers. You can learn the rules slowly, but the people around you must have the right thoughts."

When Mrs. Qin saw that Lin Yue was asking for advice seriously, she was willing to say another word. It was out of pity.

"Yes, please teach me, madam."

Lin Yue stood up and bowed seriously.

"Let's see. Aunt Lin in front of me has been teaching rules in the school. She has stopped teaching in the past two years because she is older. I will ask her to go to your yard to help you control the rules of your servants, so that you will not be young and thin-skinned.

The senior servant has taken care of it."

"Junior, I'm so grateful. Thank you aunt for taking care of me. I will definitely learn the rules from my aunt."

Lin Yue suddenly understood this time. The aunt in front of the Wang family's eldest daughter-in-law taught girls how to behave in school. When she came to her, she was flattering her. If she didn't realize it, she couldn't blame others for not giving her a chance.

Mrs. Qin nodded with satisfaction.

Li Yu secretly raised his thumb and nodded at her, which means you are coping very well.
