The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

It was the coldest month of winter again, and the first snow of the winter fell from the sky. The snow fluttered and fell from the sky.

In the capital city, a layer of snow accumulated in a short time, and everything was white. The roofs were covered with a layer of snow-white "quilt", which was crystal clear.

As soon as Yang Qi opened the door, he was chilled by the cold wind blowing in his face and shivered.

Mother He was lighting the stove in the kitchen. When she saw Yang Qi coming out of the yard, she hurriedly said, "Miss, it's snowing and windy today. Come into the house quickly."

Xinche and Xinyun hurried forward to persuade Yangqi.

"Yes, miss, it's no joke if you get cold."

"It's not worth freezing yourself in this weather."

Yang Qi felt helpless after hearing what they said: "Okay, okay, okay, I'll go back now."

Ever since Yang Qi fell seriously ill, the maids and servants in Linhu Courtyard have been extremely nervous about Yang Qi's health, fearing that if they were careless, Yang Qi would fall ill again.

When Mother He brought the stove up, Yang Qi put down the book and called Mother He: "Mother He, bring me the wooden stakes that the farm sent last time."

Mother He smiled and said, "Miss, I will go and drive these stakes into the herb garden in the backyard later."

Yang Qi shook his head: "Let me do it. I haven't been active for a while and I feel like my bones are about to fall apart."

Mother He disagreed: "Miss, it's snowing today, the weather is cold and windy, you definitely can't go."

Yang Qi put his hands next to the stove and warmed them up: "Of course I won't go now. When the snow stops, I will go and build this shed."

Seeing Yang Qi's determination, Mother He also made up her mind to help: "Yes, the old farmer in the farm said that it will snow heavily this year. If we don't build a shed, the accumulated snow will crush the herbs." The young lady is very concerned about these herbs. If these herbs can't survive this winter, all her previous efforts will be in vain.

Yang Qi's lakeside courtyard was separated from the street by a wall. On this side of the wall, Yang Qi and her maids huddled in the house, warming themselves by the stove. On the other side of the wall, beggars were begging along the way, wrapping themselves tightly in tattered clothes, shivering to keep warm.

Xinlian came back to the yard from outside, brushed off the snow on her body in the yard, and then opened the curtain: "Miss, An Xiaoyi has already entered the city."

Yang Qi didn't say anything, just nodded and turned another page of the book in his hand.

An Xiaoqiu has been in the Duke's Mansion for more than half a year, but her situation in the mansion is not good, and she does not attend many banquets on a daily basis. The An family is a little worried, so they sent An Xiaoyi to the capital to take a look.

As the future head of the An family, if An Xiaoyi can establish a good relationship with officials in the capital, it will be of great help to the future development of the An family.

The An family had a good idea. Song Hongwen was a Duke. If An Xiaoyi could take advantage of the power of the Duke Song's Mansion, it would be much easier for him to travel in the capital.

Unfortunately, An Xiaoyi is a complete good-for-nothing. He looks good on the outside, but he has no talent and is always ambitious. The current head of the An family is a far-sighted businessman, but An Xiaoyi did not inherit his father's intelligence.

When it was time to pay respects to the old lady, Nanny Zhu helped Yang Qi put on her clothes and put a pink emerald brocade fox fur cloak on her outer layer.

Yang Qi felt like he was about to turn into a bear, but the weather was really cold today. Anyway, when he got to the upper room, he took off his outer cloak.

Seeing that Madam Zhu was about to follow him out, Yang Qi stopped her and said, "Madam, let Xin Che accompany me today. It just snowed and the ground is slippery. It would be a shame if Madam fell."

Nanny Zhu is aware of her own body. As she gets older, her body is naturally not as flexible as that of young girls like Xinche.

On the way to the upper house, the snow had stopped falling, and much of the snow on the road had turned into ice, making it a bit slippery when people stepped on it.

Xin Che followed Yang Qi from behind and saw that Yang Qi's steps were a bit big: "Miss, the road is slippery, let's walk slowly."

Yang Qi looked at the road and saw no servants shoveling snow. He muttered, "With this road condition, I'm afraid many people in the mansion will fall down."

An was originally a merchant's daughter. When she followed Song Hongwen in the northwest, she was only in charge of more than 30 people. Now, as the mistress of the Duke's Mansion, she is in charge of such a large mansion at once, and there are many flaws in the things she does.

Like today, if the Xu family was in charge, the snow on the road would have been cleared long ago, and it would not have been accumulating and freezing like it is now.

Although Yang Qi left home early, the road was difficult to travel on and he was still a little late.

As soon as she entered the room, a maid came forward to take off Yang Qi's cloak and put it aside.

Yang Qi stepped forward to greet the old lady: "Grandma, the road is difficult today, so your granddaughter is a little late."

The old lady looked at Yang Qi who was respectfully below and said: "It's okay. It snowed today. It doesn't matter if you come a little later." Yang Qi lived in a more remote place than the other girls in the mansion, so it was understandable that she came late.

Yang Qi sat directly behind Yang Lan and nodded to her. He looked around the house and found that Yang Jing was not there yet. It seemed that the weather was too cold and Yang Jing did not get up.

Sure enough, after Yang Qi sat down, Yang Jing came hurriedly with her people and greeted the old lady in a hurry.

Seeing Yang Jing's crooked greeting, the old lady felt unhappy and her good mood for the day was gone.

After such a long time of teaching by the nanny, Yang Jing still couldn't put up a good front, and it was thanks to An's "mediation" in the middle. Whenever Yang Jing was punished and scolded by the nanny, An would jump out and back up Yang Jing. After so many times, the nanny was not very satisfied with her teaching, and after a few days, she said goodbye to the old lady.

There are only a few nannies in the capital, and each of them is in a circle. The skills and teaching results of each nanny are reflected by the young ladies.

If Yang Jing's behavior got out, it would damage the reputation of the nanny. No nanny wanted to sacrifice her career to change Yang Jing.

After all, if the head family doesn't support it, it would be wishful thinking to correct a child's strange habits.

The old lady slowly picked up the teacup beside her, took a sip of tea, and then said, "Get up." The old lady was expressing her dissatisfaction with Yang Jing's lateness in a disguised way, and deliberately asked Yang Jing to kneel for a while longer.
