Speaking of which, Tong Cheng'er's biggest hobby is reading storybooks. Although it takes some effort to read storybooks that mix classical Chinese with vernacular Chinese, the stories are still quite good.

Most of the storybooks on the market are about relationships between men and women, and even more about the affairs between poor scholars and rich young ladies. Tong Cheng'er didn't like reading those kinds of stories, so she specifically looked for strange tales and records to read.

When Shumulu first found out that she had been secretly reading storybooks, she was shocked and wanted to find out who had corrupted her. After all, how could an unmarried girl know about storybooks?

After asking around without getting any answers, Tong Cheng'er herself said that she had come to like the book "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio" after reading it in her father's study.

Although Shumulu was of Manchu ethnicity, she was well-educated and educated at home, and quite well at that. Naturally, she knew about "Strange Tales from a Chinese Studio." However, she was a little scared when her teacher told her the stories in the book when she was young, so she never read it herself.

Since my daughter isn't afraid of the stories inside, and books of strange tales and anecdotes are always better than those romance novels written by scholars, I figured it wouldn't spoil her personality, so I just let her be.

After the New Year, when Tong Cheng'er was already ten years old, Shumulu found her a nanny who had just been released from the palace. This nanny was quite important; she had once served under the Empress Dowager. Although she was only a third-class nanny, she was still very sought after.

If it weren't for the fact that the man Shumulu married was related to the Emperor's maternal clan, she probably wouldn't have been assigned this nanny position.

After all, the number of nannies released each year is limited. So many noble ladies in the capital need to participate in the imperial concubine selection. The rules in the palace are strict, and every family wants their daughters to learn the rules in advance so that they won't make mistakes when they enter the palace, which would be bad.

Yesterday, she learned etiquette from Granny Jin, who came from the palace, and she was quite tired, which is why getting up today was particularly difficult.
