Old Master Chu's face was somewhat serious: "Madam, do not speak of things that have not yet been decided. The future depends on fate."
She was afraid that her daughter and granddaughter would be disappointed if their hopes were dashed.
Old Madam Chu glanced at Old Master Chu: "We're all family. No outsiders will hear us, so there's nothing to fear."
She knew what Old Master Chu was thinking: "Whether or not things go as planned, as long as you have a clear conscience, that's enough."
Old Master Chu wholeheartedly agreed. He was dedicated to his duties and considered himself an upright and selfless person. As for the rest, he would leave it to fate.
After the meal, Old Madam Chu led the mother and daughter to the east wing.
"We've already arranged rooms for you, so you'll be staying here from now on."
The rooms are the first two rooms in the east wing, which are very large and spacious, and each room has its own study and bathroom.
"Oh, right, Nier, I'm thinking of hiring a tutor to teach you to read. What do you think?"
Madam Chu felt regretful. If Qiao Yunni hadn't been taken away by her enemies, she would now be proficient in all the arts, including music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and would have married into a well-matched official family, living in harmony with her husband. There wouldn't have been such a twist of fate.
Although the enemy has been dealt with, dismissed from office and exiled, the consequences will take a long time to heal.
“Mother, Lian’er taught me to read, and I’m learning every day.”
Madam Chu was surprised, but then she thought about it and realized that Lian'er was a child prodigy, so he was naturally familiar with reading and writing.
"Then let's hire an etiquette teacher to teach you music and chess," said Madam Chu. "It's not that you have to learn these things, but you can use them to relieve boredom when you're bored."
Qiao Yunni nodded.
Everyone gathered in the living room for snacks. Old Master Chu said, "Your cousin and Miss Gao's marriage has been arranged, but it will take a while, about three months."
"The Qiao family will all come then, and everyone will have a good time."
I just hope he can find a job, and that it will be more respectable.
Madam Chu said, "I recently bought a shop to sell medicinal herbs. You will come with me tomorrow to learn how to manage it."
The family business will be inherited by my daughter and granddaughter in the future, so I want them to get to know it well.
Qiao Lian'er asked, "How's business?"
Madam Chu maintained her smile: "It's only just begun. It will get lively a bit longer."
Even so, a hint of disappointment still flashed across her eyes.
It's been more than half a month, and there's been no improvement at all. She's starting to worry about what will happen in the future.
Qiao Lian'er then knew that business was slow.
Speaking of medicinal herbs, a batch of them has just grown in her space, and they are high-grade items, which are more effective in treating diseases and strengthening the body.
Since Madam Chu is in the medicinal herb business, why doesn't she take this opportunity to promote her herbs?
In fact, the goods that Old Madam Chu bought from others had gone through countless middlemen, and she could only earn a meager profit. She didn't know when she would be able to earn enough capital to buy a shop.
Madam Chu continued, "I studied pharmacology with doctors since I was a child, and I'm interested in this field, which is why I want to sell medicinal herbs."
Qiao Lian'er thought that if she was interested in something and even studied it, she wouldn't have to worry about Old Madam Chu having difficulty recognizing medicinal herbs.
Now that the route is shut down, her supplies can no longer be transported to all directions as before, and her plans to expand her business in Yuezhou must be temporarily shelved.
Then, let's first help the Chu family set up their herbal medicine shop.
As night deepened, Qiao Lian'er lay on the bed, rubbing her round belly, and sighed inwardly, wondering when this would finally be digested.
The three-day appointment had arrived, and the water clock was pointing to the hour of Hai (9-11 PM). She took out the letter from her sleeve and placed her palm on it.
