The Duke's Daughter is Reborn

The young ladies and young masters of the Duke of Song’s mansion will have their own courtyard when they are six years old.

Yang Lan and Yang Qi are special cases. Yang Qi lost her mother when she was young, and Song Hongwen went to work since Yang Qi was born. Therefore, Yang Qi has lived alone since she was young. Yang Lan is the old lady's favorite, and even when he had smallpox before, the old lady was reluctant to let Yang Lan move out.

After the New Year, Yang Lan will be 7 years old. Even if the old lady is reluctant, Yang Lan has to move out, otherwise her reputation outside will be bad.

As Yang Lan would become the bargaining chip of the Duke of Song's Mansion in the future, the old lady did her best to protect Yang Lan's reputation.

It was Yang Xian's ten-day holiday again, so Yang Lan chose this day to move. In fact, most of Yang Lan's belongings had been moved.

The day chosen is not just the day to go to Qinfang Courtyard to sleep.

After class the day before, Yang Lan asked her maid to hand over the invitation.

Yang Qi looked at the post and couldn't help but sigh, it's different with the foster nanny. In the past, Yang Lan would at most invite her in person, but now she has even sent out a large-scale post.

Nanny Zhu's eyes were so sharp that she saw through Yang Qi's current thoughts at a glance and felt that Yang Lan was exaggerating: "Miss San, now the role of a woman is to be a daughter at home, a wife after marriage, and a mother after giving birth to a child."

Yang Qi put down the post and glanced at Nanny Zhu.

Nanny Zhu was not frightened by Yang Qi: "Different roles mean different responsibilities and obligations, and corresponding requirements are also different. 'As a daughter, cultivate female virtues; as a wife, uphold the wifely way; as a mother, establish the motherly etiquette.' When you are a daughter, you must be filial, respectful and polite; when you are a wife, you must be virtuous, obedient, wise and diligent; when you are a mother, you must be strict, kind and teach well."

When Nanny Zhu said this, Yang Qi knew that to survive in the Tianyuan Dynasty, he had to do every role well.

In fact, educating the women in the family well is also something that the aristocratic families of the Tianyuan Dynasty must do. First of all, the virtue and talent of the women in the family are important factors in the conclusion of a marriage relationship. All the aristocratic families emphasize that the character and talent that a woman develops when she is still at home are the foundation for her to become a good wife and mother after marriage.

Secondly, the people of a family can be said to rise and fall together, and every family member is involved in the fate of the whole family and even the whole clan. In order to maintain the interests and status of the family, the family must strictly regulate the behavior of family members and pay attention to the education of future generations, including women in the family, not to do anything wrong. Affecting the family's reputation is one aspect, and if a crime is committed, it will be a disaster for the family.

After closing the post, Yang Qi smiled gratefully at Aunt Zhu. Aunt Zhu pulled him out of his dilemma with just a few words. Or, it could be said that Aunt Zhu gave him a hint from a broader and more comprehensive perspective.

Having a good nanny is a lifetime fortune. In her previous life, Yang Lan was able to sit on the throne of queen and hold it firmly, largely because the people around her were all excellent.

On the second day, Yang Qi took Nanny Zhu to Yang Lan's yard.

Standing at the entrance of the courtyard, Yang Qi looked at the three characters "Qinfang Courtyard" on the door plaque. What a good name. Looking at the handwriting, it should be written by Yang Lan himself.

Entering the courtyard, this Qinfang Courtyard looks really comfortable. Yang Qi's own Linhu Courtyard is a one-entry courtyard, but it is adjacent to the Houhu Lake, which makes it look particularly large and spacious. This Qinfang Courtyard is a three-entry courtyard, and it was built by the old lady herself. The overall construction style is very similar to that of Suzhou gardens, and the layout is full of natural interest.

Yang Qi entered the yard and took out a gift she had prepared long ago: "Second sister, this is a round fan I embroidered myself, to congratulate you on your new home." Yang Qi had already calculated that Yang Lan would move to a new yard, so she took advantage of her free time to embroider a cat-popping ball for Yang Lan.

As soon as Yang Lan saw the round fan that Yang Qi took out, she loved it. The kitten embroidered by Yang Qi was very lively, as if it was about to jump out of the round fan: "Third sister, thank you, I like this gift very much."

Nanny Li looked at the round fan that Yang Qi took out and was a little surprised. If she practiced this skill more, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it could be considered as good as the embroidery in the palace.

Nanny Zhu looked at the surprise in Nanny Li's eyes and agreed very much. Not to mention that Nanny Li saw the final result directly, Nanny Zhu watched the whole process of Yang Qi's embroidery a few days ago and was amazed. This third young lady is extremely talented in embroidery.

When she had some free time, Nanny Li whispered to Nanny Zhu: "This Third Miss is so good at needlework!"

Nanny Zhu naturally understood what Nanny Li meant. She probably felt that Yang Qi used other people's hands to claim that other people's work was her own achievement: "Nanny Li, the Third Miss's needlework is indeed very good, but it's too slow. Watching her do it, I feel a little anxious."

Nanny Zhu's words were to clear Yang Qi's name, saying that this fan was embroidered by Yang Qi herself.

As they were talking, Yang He arrived at Qinfang Courtyard.

After silently looking at Yang Lan's Qinfang Courtyard, Yang He felt that her eyes had been opened. There were too many good things in this courtyard, even the small items displayed in the house were valuable.

After the Lantern Festival, Yang Qing returned to Kongyang Academy, and A Yao would also go out with General Xu on weekdays. Now, only the three sisters Yang Lan were left in the mansion.

As soon as Yang He arrived, Yang Lan led everyone on a brief tour of the entire courtyard. The courtyard was big, which was good. There was only one bedroom and one study room in Yang Qi's courtyard. After Yuan Ruiyuan's incident, Yang Qi now even reads and practices calligraphy in the bedroom. In addition to Yang Lan's normal use, Yang Lan's Qinfang Courtyard also has a chess room, a painting studio, a piano room, and a study room.

Arriving at the studio, Yang Qi saw a lotus painting on the table. There were several lotus flowers, some of which had already bloomed, and some were still buds. Yang Qi was happy when she saw the painting: "Second sister, is this what you painted?"

Yang Lan nodded: "I drew this this morning when I was bored. Third sister, your painting is not bad."

Yang Qi didn't dare to flatter Yang Lan's words. A few days ago, Mr. Yang asked her to paint with Yang Lan, but Yang Qi didn't work hard and didn't like it, so she was compared to Yang Lan.

Yang Qi smiled and took Yang Lan's hand: "We just arrived at the courtyard entrance and saw the words on the door plaque. They are free and unrestrained. It should be written by you, second sister."

Yang Lan smiled and nodded. This suggestion was made by Rong Mama. At that time, the old lady was having a headache about who to ask for the door plaque. Rong Mama said something happy, and the old lady and Yang Lan both thought the suggestion was good.

Yang He looked at Yang Qi and Yang Lan loving each other. Although she was not restricted on the surface, she was very unhappy in her heart. They were just disciples of Mr. Yang, but Yang Qi seemed to be attached to Yang Lan. Everyone knew that following Yang Lan would bring benefits. Now Yang Qi was like Yang Lan's little tail.
