The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

Chapter 73: Nanny Zhu Arrives (1)

Nanny Zhu, Nanny Li and Nanny Chang arrived at the mansion on the day Mr. Yang had a holiday.

This morning, after washing up, Yang Qi picked up a book and started reading.

When Mother He and Mother Fan entered the house, they saw Yang Qi sitting on a chair reading a book. Mother He shook her head helplessly. Young ladies nowadays are really obsessed with reading. They will read whenever they have two or three minutes to spare.

Mrs. Xu had already given the order that this morning, Madam Fan and Madam He must take good care of Yang Qi.

Seeing that Yang Qi didn't react, He's mother put down her clothes and said, "Miss, if you don't get ready, time will be a little tight."

Yang Qi didn't even take his eyes off the book: "It doesn't matter if you take a few minutes. Let me finish reading this page."

Mother Fan and Mother He smiled at each other, then put everything in order.

Yang Qi put down the book and looked at the two mothers who were standing ready for battle. He couldn't help but laugh: "Are the mothers so serious this morning?"

Mother Fan followed the old lady and knew a lot: "Miss, don't blame me for being nagging. The nanny is always the strictest. If your hair is crooked or your clothes are not up to standard, you will be criticized."

Mother He also echoed, "Yes, Miss. The old lady and the second lady have already ordered that Miss must dress formally today and must not lose face for the Duke's Mansion."

Yang Qi felt helpless. If he was so good, why did he still need to learn from the governess? Mama He and Mama Fan were too serious.

Unable to persuade the two mothers, Yang Qi could only stand still and let everyone put clothes on her body one after another. Yang Qi felt that her body was getting heavier and heavier. On weekdays, in order to read books, she would dress as comfortable as possible. Wearing so many clothes at once was really uncomfortable.

After putting on the clothes, He's mother and Fan's mother pulled Yang Qi to the dressing mirror. Unlike the two simple buns she usually combed, this time, Fan's mother combed Yang Qi into a high bun with more than ten hair accessories inserted in it. Now, not only the clothes are heavy, but also the head is heavy. Yang Qi shook her head carefully. Oh my god, she must have a sore head after wearing so many things for a day.

It was the first time that Yang Qi was dressed so formally that he walked a little unsteadily and could only walk forward with the support of He's mother.

Yang Qi adjusted her hair bun and said, "Mother He, do I have to wear this every day? If so, it will be inconvenient for me to read."

Mother He listened to Yang Qi's words and felt that her young lady was becoming more and more of a book lover: "Young lady, you will be attending more banquets in the future. You can't act like a child at every banquet. You have to be more formal. If you want to perform well at the banquet, you have to practice every day."

As she spoke, Mother He became a little sad: "Miss, as the legitimate daughter of the Duke's Mansion, I'm afraid you will have to enter the palace. In the imperial city, you must be careful and cautious, and don't let people find fault with these etiquettes."

Yang Qi heard the discomfort in He's mother's voice and sighed in his heart. He felt the same way. The palace was the most wealthy place in the Tianyuan Dynasty, but in Yang Qi's eyes, it was no different from a flood or a beast.

In that besieged city, everyone wanted to step on each other to climb up. There was no friendship, no family affection, and even new sisters could betray each other. What was even more tragic was that the city was stained with the blood of countless innocent people, and there were countless people like my grandfather who died unjustly and brought disaster to the family.

When they got to the upper room, Yang Qi saw Yang Lan and Yang He, and then he realized that it was normal to dress like this in such an occasion. If they dressed like usual, it would be out of place. Yang Lan and Yang He straightened their chests and put on exquisite makeup.

Yang Lan is now seven years old, and this makeup makes her look more pure and refined. But Yang He is only four years old, and with this makeup, she looks particularly old. Aunt Yin's beauty quotient is really not good. Yang He's biggest attraction is her cuteness, but this not only eliminates Yang He's advantages, but also magnifies Yang He's flaws.

The three maids arrived at the mansion at the same time as if they had agreed on something.

Yang Qi looked at the three maids who walked in from the door. Nanny Chang and Nanny Li were still as kind as in their previous lives, but the new Nanny Zhu had a serious face and no expression.

Xu had long told Yang Qi that Nanny Zhu was specially invited to teach her, so Yang Qi must have paid the most attention to Nanny Zhu.

The old lady had always been very respectful to the three maids. As they entered the room, she said, "Madame Li, Madame Zhu, and Madame Chang, you must have had a hard time traveling all the way. Let me introduce you briefly. This is the second maid Yang Lan, the third maid Yang Qi, and the fifth maid Yang He."

The old lady introduced Yang Qi, and Yang Qi also followed Yang Lan's example and greeted the three maids. No matter what, it was never wrong to follow Yang Lan.

Nanny Zhu was responsible for teaching him, so Yang Qi took Nanny Zhu back to Linhu Courtyard.

Arriving at the gate of the courtyard, Yang Qi smiled at Madam Zhu in a very appropriate manner: "Madam Zhu, this is Linhu Courtyard. Linhu Courtyard is small and a little remote. Thank you for your hard work, Madam Zhu."

Then, Yang Qi took Nanny Zhu to the east wing. This time, for Nanny Zhu, Mother Fan specially cleared out an empty room, and Xu also made some simple decorations.

Nanny Zhu looked around the house. It was nice, not luxurious, but very comfortable.

Yang Qi looked at the approval in Nanny Zhu's eyes and guessed what Nanny Zhu liked. "Nanny Zhu, the hot water is ready. Please wash up first. After you have rested, I will introduce Linhu Courtyard to you in detail."

Nanny Zhu then smiled and said, "Young lady, you are so thoughtful." In fact, on the way back to Linhu Courtyard just now, Nanny Zhu had already noticed that Yang Qi's etiquette was not good. Today's outfit was particularly unfamiliar, and every move she made was a little clumsy.

Yang He brought Madam Chang back to Liuli Courtyard. Aunt Yin had already prepared everything for Madam Chang. Aunt Yin was short of money, so Madam Chang's room was rather simple.

Unlike Matron Li and Matron Zhu, Matron Chang came from the palace, so her qualifications and confidence were inferior.

Yang He entered the room and took a deep breath: "Aunt, you didn't see it today, this Nanny Chang is no match for Nanny Li and Nanny Zhu. Now, let alone studying with Mr. Yang, even being an auditor is out of the question. On the contrary, it's that Song Yangqi, who not only became Mr. Yang's disciple, but is now also studying with Nanny Zhu. I'm left far behind step by step." As Nanny Chang was in the courtyard, Yang He was now very careful and cautious in what she said, and she didn't lose her temper.

Aunt Yin looked at Yang He, feeling somewhat helpless. As for the matter with Mr. Yang, it was also Yang He's own poor performance that did not catch Mr. Yang's eye. Who could she blame?
