Reborn Concubine, Be Respectful First

When Su Xinya saw her sister, she looked a little timid and took the initiative to reach out and touch Su Xinqing's hair to comfort her.

After a moment, she began to stand upright again with dignity. Her every frown and smile was a painting that made people unable to take their eyes off her.

The people above nodded frequently at Su Xinya's behavior of caring for her younger sister. It was rare for a lady from a noble family to have superior character and appearance.

With the support of the Earl's Mansion and being of similar age, he is a strong contender for that position.

In the court, men fight for power and profit, betting and even gambling the lives of their entire families, in order to gain the upper hand over the dragon. This also happens in the harem, and they are even more cautious.

After leaving her stepmother's main courtyard, Su Xinqing followed her eldest sister and the two gentlemen to a newly built small courtyard.

The courtyard of "Lumingtang" is in a quiet location, next to which is the mansion's garden, which is even more uniquely decorated with winding streams and flowing wine cups. It is no exaggeration to say that there is a scene at every step.

The main house is even brighter, with a strong scent of books. The walls are covered with famous works of great writers, and gold and silver decorations are rarely used. Most of them are jade and porcelain that literati like, and are more popular among noble families.

Master Qian just nodded slightly, and Nanny Zhang had disappeared without a trace.

The two maids beside Master Qian had already placed books, pens, ink, paper and inkstones in front of the two desks.

Seeing that her eldest sister was already seated in the front, the small Su Xinqing also leaned over the chair and sat down.

When he looked at the decorations on his own desk, there was obviously no comparison with his eldest sister's.

Su Xinqing didn't care at all and sat down despite Mr. Qian's indifference.

Now, as long as she can learn knowledge, she doesn't care at all and tries her best to make up for what she lacked in her previous life.

Although I also studied for a period of time after marriage, it was just looking at the account books, which is completely different from the current systematic study. I don’t care at all that I am just a companion student.

In Yishou Hall, the eldest lady, Mrs. Li, sat below the old lady.

"Mother, the two gentlemen have already entered the mansion, and the third girl has also gone to Luming Hall to study. She has just lost her mother and is pitiful. Her face is so thin. I pity her and have tried my best to persuade her. I really can't let another person in. Otherwise, Master Qian will be angry. If he leaves in anger, it will not be worth the loss. I will find better female tutors for the other girls. I guarantee that they will be no worse than Master Qian."

As Li spoke, she looked at her mother-in-law upstairs and asked the maid to bring up the prepared ginseng and deer antlers and present them to the old lady.

The old lady managed to utter a muffled "Yeah!" and her complexion looked a little better.

Seeing that her mother-in-law's complexion had improved, Li continued to smile and say happy things to make the old lady happy.

After the first lady, Mrs. Li, left, the old lady's mother came out of Yishou Hall and hurried to a courtyard next to it.

Li, with Xi's mother beside her, stood outside the old lady's yard, watching the maid going to the third room, and couldn't help but sneer: "Haha, don't you see what her daughter's status is? She wants to compete with my Ya'er, is she worthy?"

"What the madam said is right. Our eldest daughter is the legitimate daughter of the Earl of Yong'an. Our master is also a third place winner in the imperial examination. The eldest son passed the imperial examination at a young age. After the autumn and spring examinations, your good days are just around the corner. Besides, the eldest daughter is both talented and beautiful. Who doesn't envy you when you go out now? In my opinion, no one in the entire Earl's Mansion, even in the entire capital, is as lucky as you." Mother Xi, who was standing nearby, also smiled with her eyebrows but not her eyes.

It seemed as if the master's glory was already before his eyes.

However, Mother Xi was worthy of being the mother who had served Li for many years. After saying a few words, Li's mood instantly brightened.

The handkerchief in her hand fell directly to the ground, and she said with a smile: "This lady is not a stingy person, but there is someone behind me who is always dishonest and annoying. Alas, life is also comfortable."

"Yes, yes, what the eldest lady said is right. Some people are just ungrateful. They don't know that it is useless to snatch things that are not theirs. I understand." Mother Xi quickly understood what her lady meant.

Su Xinqing, who was following behind Su Xinya, had no idea that there was someone who wanted to take her position as her lackey.

Fortunately, the first wife, Mrs. Li, and the third wife did not get along, otherwise Su Xinqing would not have had the opportunity to study for free.

Time flies, and Su Xinya has grown up just like in her previous life.

Slender and graceful, all the beautiful words are not enough to describe Su Xinya.

Her skin is as white as snow, crystal clear, and as if it could be blown away; this is also the result of Nanny Zhang's various medicinal baths and medicated diets over the years.

A light pinch would cause redness and swelling. Even if the fabric with gold threads was scratched, Su Xinya's skin would turn red.

Over the years, he has been treated like a precious treasure.

Her eyes were as bright as stars, sparkling with lively brilliance. Her beauty was like a fairy walking out of an ancient painting, stunningly beautiful and unparalleled in the world.

A smile is like a spring breeze, warm and gentle, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

Her every frown and smile was full of charm, making people want to get closer. Even Su Xinqing, a modern person with modern thinking, who was used to seeing many beautiful and different female stars in her previous life, couldn't help but take a few more glances.

Sometimes, she even stared at her eldest sister in a daze, and every time she did so, she would either be slapped on the palm by Nanny Zhang or hit on the head by Master Qian.

Of course, the two of them did not show any mercy. If it weren’t for the medicine given by her elder sister, her hands and forehead would have been swollen for several days.

There were also various scoldings, neither light nor heavy. Of course, these were only when the eldest sister was present. If the eldest sister was not there, she would just ignore them as if they were air.

Not to mention scolding, neither of them was willing to give themselves a look.

Of course, if Su Xinya only had beauty, it would not be enough for Su Xinqing to admire her.

Be it music, chess, calligraphy, painting, or poetry, he is proficient in everything and can do it effortlessly.

Whenever there are various banquets, when the eldest sister shows her talents, she always attracts everyone's amazed gazes and praises.

His speech and manners are elegant and generous, and his noble temperament is revealed in his every move.

When communicating with others, she always speaks appropriately, thinks quickly, and conquers everyone present with her wisdom and humor.

Her presence is like a shining star, attracting everyone's attention.

Such a woman is undoubtedly a rare treasure in the world, like the most precious pearl in ancient times, emitting charming brilliance and making people yearn for her.

No matter where she is, she can always become the focus, and she, Su Xinqing, is the shadow of her elder sister.

He keeps his head down and never says a word outside.

She is an honest and well-behaved person at home. From her appearance to her talent, nothing about her can catch the eyes of Nanny Zhang and Master Qian. The only redeeming quality about her is that she is very respectful to her elder sister.

Only Su Xinya praised what she liked, and Su Xinqing was even more of a praise-seeking child, working hard to do better.

She was longing to be praised by her elder sister again. To put it bluntly, she had already used five years to successfully become Su Xinya's chief lackey.

"Su Xinqing, don't rely on your elder sister's protection to be so arrogant. I asked you to help embroider a purse because I think highly of you. My mother is your elder. I asked me to embroider a purse for my elder and you are so reluctant. How come you look down on my mother?" The eight or nine-year-old girl stood on the steps of the pavilion in a menacing manner, looking down at the ignorant concubine's daughter in front of her.

Following behind her were a few young ladies from the Su family who were about the same age. Each of them had a smug look on their face, or looked at Su Xinqing with a smile on her face.

The little maids had already been assigned by Su Xinru to a faraway place.
