Chapter 82: The Nanny from the Education Department

Translator: Atlas Studios  Editor: Atlas Studios

Yang Shuwan couldn’t stop laughing. “That won’t do. Old Madam has grounded you. At the very least, you won’t have the chance to see Master for the next month. The nanny from the Education Department will be entering the residence soon. You have to learn the rules of being a concubine from her.”

At noon, Nanny Liu led the two nanny back to the residence and brought them to Old Madam Yu.

Old Madam Yu sat on the couch and sized up the two nannies in the hall.

One of them had a long face and was in his fifties. His surname was Qian, and his hair was combed into a neat bun. He was wearing a dark blue floral jacket, and his entire body was meticulously groomed. He looked serious and stiff.

The round-faced woman, whose surname was Jin, was in her early forties. She was dressed in bean-green clothes and had a smile on her face. She looked very gentle and kind.

With just a glance, Old Madam Yu nodded in satisfaction. She sent the older Nanny Qian to the Clear Autumn Courtyard to specially teach Concubine He the rules. Then, she looked at Nanny Jin and said, “Third Miss in the residence has had a weak constitution since she was born. Eldest Madam Yang is taking care of the house while taking care of Third so, but she doesn’t have the time. That’s why Fourth Sister has been growing up by her mother’s side since she was young, so she’s a little out of shape. Nanny Jin, please take care of her and teach her more of the rules.”

Nanny Qian’s eyebrows moved slightly. Old Madam Yu had only asked her to teach Concubine He the rules, so she did not say anything else. It was obvious that she did not take the concubine seriously.

However, Nanny Jin’s heart was as clear as a mirror.

Old Madam Yu had asked her to spend more effort teaching Fourth Miss the rules, so she could be stricter. However, her words also subtly reminded her to watch her words.

The two of them usually walked around other houses, and with just a few words, they understood Old Madam Yu’s thoughts.

After making arrangements for the two nannies, Nanny Liu wanted to send them to the Clear Autumn Courtyard.

On the way, she bumped into Yang Shuwan. “Nanny Liu left early in the morning, but she didn’t know that Fourth Sister had moved into the Hanlu Courtyard this morning. I’ll make arrangements for the two nannies. Old Madam can’t be without you. Hurry back and serve her.”

“In that case, thank you, First Madam,” Nanny Liu agreed with a smile.

First Madam was in charge of the household, so it was only right for her to arrange this matter. As for what happened after that, it was not something a servant like her should be in charge of.

After watching Nanny Liu leave, Yang Shuwan politely said to Nanny Jin and Nanny Qian, “The Yu family has been educated for generations and values rules and upbringing the most. I’ll have to trouble the two of you in the future.”

With that, she glanced at Nanny Li.

Nanny Li hurriedly bowed and quietly stuffed two thick pouches into the hands of the two nannies. “Eldest Madam is a kind person. Fourth Miss has been pampered since she was young and has never suffered. Concubine He is also soft and tender, so I’ll have to trouble you two nannies to discipline them in the family. Teach them more about rules and principles. If they have offended you in any way, please take the responsibility to educate them.”

Nanny Jin and Nanny Qian accepted the pouches and secretly weighed them in their hands. Immediately, they beamed and said, “Eldest Madam, don’t worry. Since we’ve been entrusted by Old Madam to come here, we’ll teach the sister and concubine in the residence well and share the burden with you.”

It wasn’t the first time that Nanny Qian and Nanny Jin had been invited into the residence. They had seen this kind of thing many times. They didn’t have much to gain in the Education Department, so they were hoping to be invited into a residence to make a fortune.

They were the ones who had the final say on how to teach the concubine and sister in the residence. They had plenty of ways to torture others. They would definitely be taught a lesson, but they would still find it difficult to speak.

… .

After the morning class ended, Yu Youyao packed her things and prepared to return to the Jade Courtyard. However, she was called into the inner room by Ms. Ye.

When Yu Jianjia saw this, her throat felt a little itchy again. She took a handkerchief and covered her mouth to cough. This cough was unstoppable, but the more she coughed, the itchier it became, the more uncomfortable she felt and the more she wanted to cough. She just couldn’t stop coughing.

Hui Xiang was shocked and quickly poured a cup of hot tea. “Young Miss, what’s wrong? Have some water.”

Yu Jianjia hurriedly picked up her teacup and took small sips. Only when she finished the cup of hot tea did her throat feel a little better.

Yu Shuangbai and the others came over and asked with concern.

Yu Jianjia’s face was abnormally red. She only shook her head and said, “I’m probably a little tired. I’ll be fine after resting for a while. Don’t worry.”

The population of the Yu Residence was considered small, but there were still six young misses from both houses. Each of them had different aptitudes, so it was inevitable that the teacher would be a little biased when teaching. She would choose those with good aptitudes and focus on nurturing them. Those with poor aptitudes would just have to follow along. How much they could learn depended on their own abilities.

Usually, when Ms. Ye was in school, she would be called into the inner room to be tested on the courses she had learned on that day. It could be considered as giving her special training and nurturing her.

But now, Mentor had already called Yu Youyao to the inner room for two consecutive days.

It seemed like she wanted to focus on nurturing her?

Thinking about Yu Youyao’s performance in class over the past two days, Yu Jianjia felt extremely depressed. She kept feeling that Yu Youyao had become a little different after being sick. Now that she had a formidable nanny who had come from the palace, she had become much smarter.

Ms. Ye called Yu Youyao into the room and asked her to memorize “Mannerisms”.

After Yu Youyao finished reciting it fluently, Ms. Ye asked her to take out her writing.

At the thought of her handwriting, Yu Youyao was a little reluctant and dawdled.

Even though Ms. Ye was mentally prepared, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but twitch when she saw this word. She stared at Yu Youyao, swallowing the words of reprimand that were about to come out of her mouth.

Yu Youyao was embarrassed by her stare. She quickly lowered her head and hid her hands behind her back, as if someone was about to hit her.

Ms. Ye did not know whether to laugh or cry. She had not wanted to hit her, but now her hands were itching. She could not help but glance at the long ruler on the table.

Yu Youyao lowered her eyes and looked very obedient, but she kept stealing glances at Ms. Ye. When she saw Ms. Ye looking at the ruler at the side, she recalled how painful it was when it hit her palm, and she shrank her neck nervously.

All of her small actions fell into Ms. Ye’s eyes. She was speechless for a long time. She took a deep breath and looked at her notes carefully, then pointed out a few mistakes and ambiguities.

Yu Youyao understood immediately.

After that, Ms. Ye instructed her to practice her calligraphy well. “Words are like a person’s reputation. If you don’t write well, no matter how well you learn, you will still be mocked in the future.”

Yu Youyao nodded repeatedly. “Thank you for your guidance, Mentor.”
