Chapter 121 Etiquette Course
"For the next period of time, I will teach Miss Tilan about etiquette."
A maid wearing glasses stood in front of the girl. She looked to be in her 30s, neatly dressed, and serious.
She looked like a strict teacher. Tilan blinked and sensed that the maid opposite was also very strong, at least Sequence 6, which could be said to be a rare elite.
"I understand, Teacher Prannley."
She still respected these professional teachers very much, knowing that it would be a great expense to ask such people to teach her.
"Well, I don't need it." Anneli looked at the head maid, feeling a little scared, thinking of the scene when she was taught by the strict nanny at home when she was a child.
"Miss Anneli really doesn't need to learn the same things as Miss Tilan..." When she was halfway through her words, Anneli felt relieved, but soon the head maid continued.
"However, if Miss Anneli wants to become an excellent adjutant, an assistant, or perfectly deal with the scenes that Miss Tilan may encounter in the future, she also needs to complete many things and abilities." She pushed her glasses and swept her eyes across Anneli, causing the girl to tremble.
Although she was a genius favored by her family, she had become a little arrogant in recent years, so she was usually lazy. Although Heshia could not see any difference, in front of this professional maid, Anneli's usual performance was full of loopholes.
"Oh, okay, I'll learn." It looks like it will be a hard time for a while, Anneli thought.
"Very good, let's start the course today." The head maid immediately got into the state.
At this moment, the place where they studied was not in the classroom, but in the house where Heshia was temporarily staying in Edes Academy. This head maid, Planli, was specially invited by Edes Academy to teach Heshia. She was not a resident teacher in the school. It was said that the people she served in the past were all famous families in the Central Star Region. If it were not for the deep network of relationships in Edes Academy, she would not be invited to come at all.
First, Pranli asked Heshia to walk, drink water, sit down, etc. in the way she usually does, to observe whether her posture and manners are up to standard.
After she followed the instructions a little nervously, the teacher Pranli made comments.
"Although there are still many areas that need improvement, it can be seen that you should have received education in this area when you were a child, and you are not completely without foundation. This can save a lot of time."
Thanks to her mother's teachings when she was a child, Heshia has developed good habits.
After that, the teacher picked up the pointer and swung it slightly, making a snapping sound in the air, waking up Anneli, who was a little distracted in the distance.
"Listen carefully, beauty is a powerful weapon in the hands of women. It can give you an advantage in life and work. However, if you don't master this weapon, it will greatly reduce your points in the eyes of others, and even make people disgusted and reject you."
"You are still young, still at the age of 16-17, which is generally the age when women are the most beautiful and most likely to receive preferential treatment."
"I emphasize this point. Don't take the situation you are experiencing and encountering as a normal state, but realize that this is a benefit that will fade away over time."
"Society has different requirements for men and women, and for adults and children. Some words can be said by children and everyone will find them interesting and cute, but when adults say them, they will become rude and disgusting."
"If you indulge in and get used to enjoying this kind of preferential treatment now, and act recklessly without developing good habits and mentality, then when you are older, there will be a big gap, and you will be at a loss as to what to do."
"A child in his teens asking you for candy and a woman in her forties with powder on her face asking you for candy, the contrast in perception is huge."
"Habits are something that, if you form them when you are sixteen or seventeen and they last for more than ten years, it may be difficult to change them in your lifetime."
"And the habits formed when you are well-off will cause a big gap and conflict with your future life, making you anxious, mean, and gradually hateful."
"Although you are all young ladies with rich family backgrounds, and it is highly likely that you will live in a well-off environment all your life, this halo on you will only be useful to the lower class."
"Imagine that even if you and the other person are both from the same class with good family backgrounds, but the other person is very rude and some of his behaviors disgust you, you will definitely stay away from him."
"If you only want to face those poor people who look at you and beg for food, hoping that you can give them alms, and don't care if you are rude or rude, then you don't need to learn these etiquettes." "
But the upper class is also human. As long as you want to maintain your family business or want to grow and develop, you have to deal with many people of the same class, cooperate with them, and even ask for help, etc. You have to pay attention to the impression you give to others."
"It's definitely not that I can be unscrupulous just because I have money. This is common among some nouveau riche."
First, she explained the importance of learning etiquette, and then began to really teach, including adjusting the girl's sitting and walking postures, the tone and movements when dealing with people, etc.
It doesn't mean that you must follow a certain standard template, but these behaviors must be decent and make each other comfortable.
At the beginning, these changes will be a little uncomfortable, but as long as you integrate them into habits and unconsciousness in the future, you will gradually be able to "do whatever you want without breaking the rules.
" "Etiquette is not about following a certain textbook and behaving in a rigid manner, but making your posture natural, expressing your true feelings, and appearing beautiful and generous." She gradually added later.
For a whole day, Tilan followed her instructions and constantly adjusted some of her unconscious habitual movements until she finally found a balance point that made herself and others comfortable.
"There is a misunderstanding in learning etiquette, or in the development of other habits, that is, only focusing on the benefits of this habit, and ignoring whether this habit is adaptable and comfortable. If a habit makes you particularly uncomfortable or very resistant, then even if it is a good habit, it will be difficult for you to stick to it."
"Because maintaining this behavior requires your willpower to fight all the time, which is a great consumption of human energy and cannot be sustained forever."
"It is best to find a balance point so that you are not too uncomfortable and can also realize the benefits of this behavior, so that it can gradually be internalized into your unconscious habit."
A week after entering Edes Academy, Tilan began to accept the training plan specially arranged for her by the academy, and the first item among them was etiquette-related courses.
Good afternoon~
