Tian An asked Xiangtao to go to Grandma Qin's yard to ask Aunt Xiao if she was willing to teach Gu Jinyan and the others together.
Xiang Tao came back soon. Aunt Xiao was very considerate of Tian An and said that since she was Tian An's old friend, then they could go together!
But she also made it clear in advance that the Queen Mother's task for her was to teach Tian An. As for the other girls, she would only provide guidance, and how much they could learn would depend entirely on themselves.
When the ladies learned that Madam Xiao agreed, they were relieved. "Of course, of course. Master can only lead you through the door, but you have to rely on yourself to practice!"
He first thanked Tian An for his intercession, and then went to thank Madam Xiao in person before saying goodbye and returning home.
Mrs. Gu also found an opportunity to visit Grandma Qin alone before leaving.
A few girls stayed behind, feeling more at ease now that the adults were gone. Although they were young, they knew their place, chatting and playing around without asking Tian An anything.
However, before leaving, Gu Jinyan specifically reminded her that when she attended Gu Jinrui's first birthday party tomorrow, maybe his wife would talk to her about this matter.
She was told to be mentally prepared, and if things really didn't work out, she would just follow Gu Jinyan closely. She tried to find a way to get away with it.
Tian An nodded, and suddenly felt very tired! She didn't want to go tomorrow, but it would be too embarrassing if she didn't go! People would think she was a country girl who was afraid to see people!
Originally, considering the friendship between Grandma Qin and the Gu family, I wanted to take her with me, but she said that her current status was not suitable for such occasions, so I asked Tian An to quietly help her comfort the old lady of the Gu family, and then visit her when there was a chance in the future.
Tian An thought so too. The Han family was no longer as prosperous as it used to be. If they went to such an occasion now, they would inevitably be looked down upon and ridiculed. They would suffer for nothing and had no choice but to give up.
The next day, after Tian An was ready, he took Deng Xue out.
Because Deng Xue always stayed by her side, Madam Xiao even singled her out for a day of practice. It really worked! Her movements were completely different now, and even her strides were half a step shorter than before.
As soon as the carriage stopped at the gate of Gu Mansion, Shi Qin, who had been waiting there, came up and saluted Tian An, then took her directly to find Gu Jinyan.
Afterwards, Gu Jinyan first took her to meet Mrs. Gu, then to the courtyard of the old lady of the Gu family to pay her a visit, and finally went directly to Gu Jinrui's territory.
Gu Jinyan and the others probably mentioned Tian An to him quite often. Gu Jinyan said, "Your sister An An is here to see you."
The little guy was stunned at first, then looked at her shyly and called out tentatively: "An, An, Jiji."
After getting the response, he became bolder and stretched out his chubby little hands to ask her to hold him.
Tian An took him from the wet nurse's arms with a smile. The boy was quite heavy, but fortunately she was mentally prepared and didn't drop him.
After holding him for a while, her hands began to ache, so Tian An returned him to the nurse. It just so happened that Shi Qin had brought the first birthday gift she had prepared for Gu Jinrui with her servant.
The gift was a wooden stroller with a handle at the back so adults could push it. When he grew up a little, the handle could be removed and he could slide by himself.
After removing the wooden frame and red silk cloth on the surface, the novel little car was revealed in front of everyone. Not to mention little Gu Jinrui, even Gu Jinyan, the wet nurse, and a group of maids and servants were extremely surprised.
"An An, what is this?" Gu Jinyan asked curiously.
"This is my gift for Xiao Jinrui! A stroller." Tian An explained.
"Car? A carriage?"
Tian An nodded, and seeing that the stroller had been completely disassembled, he personally stepped forward to install the seat belts, handles and awning.
Then he took little Jinrui from the nanny, put him in the car, fastened his seat belt for him, and then walked around the yard, pushing the handlebars.
Little Jinrui looked around with curiosity, and when the car started moving, he giggled with joy.
After pushing him around twice, Tian An handed the handle to the wet nurse.
"This cart has a sunshade on top. When the sun is strong in the summer, we open the sunshade." He demonstrated to the nanny and taught him how to fasten his seat belt and push the cart.
The stroller is simple and easy to operate. Even if the nanny has never used such a stroller, she can use it right away without having to learn anything.
After pushing Gu Jinrui around twice, not only was he happy, but the nanny was also extremely relaxed. She even felt that this was not a gift for Gu Jinrui, but for her. This is simply the pronunciation of the nanny!
"Miss Tian's stroller is really great. When I push the young master in it, not only is he comfortable, but I am also happy and relaxed. And when it gets hot in the summer, neither of us will sweat all over." The wet nurse praised sincerely.
Gu Jinyan looked at her with admiration, "An An, what's wrong with your head? How come you can think of everything?"
Tian An said conceitedly: "Maybe I am a genius!"
That cocky expression made Gu Jinyan unable to help but curse, "Fuck you genius."
Seeing that the servants were looking at her in horror, she coughed twice awkwardly and returned to her usual gentle and virtuous self.
As a result, when he turned around, he saw Tian An grinning, and almost ruined his act.
A little while later, Madam Gu arrived, telling them to bring the birthday boy, Gu Jinrui, over to meet the crowd. The little guy was completely fascinated by the stroller! He refused to get out, and Gu Jinyan's attempts to coax him were useless. With no other options, they had to have the nanny push the stroller over.
As soon as Gu Jinrui left, Madam Gu sent someone to tell her that she wanted to see Tian An, so Gu Jinyan accompanied her.
When Mrs. Gu saw that Tian An just wanted to ask about Grandma Qin's situation, she was relieved to know that she was fine. She also said that she would find an opportunity to visit her.
He talked to Tian An for a while, and let her have lunch in his yard before letting her go. Before leaving, he took off a jade bracelet of excellent quality from his hand and gave it to her.
Tian An wanted to refuse, but she said, "I liked you the moment I saw you, so what's wrong with giving you a bracelet? You can't refuse a gift from an elder, so accept it!"
Tian An could only thank him and put the bracelet away silently.
She felt comfortable in Madam Gu's yard, eating and taking things, but it was hard for the ladies who were waiting for her.
Seeing Gu Jinrui entering the hall in a stroller and hearing the nanny talk about how good this stroller was, the ladies who had children of the same age at home were all tempted. After asking, they found out that it was a gift from Tian An.
The ladies became even more curious about Tian An. Even though some of them felt that giving him just a small car was too shabby, they only dared to complain in their hearts and did not dare to say it out loud.
After all, they haven't figured out why the emperor gave Madam Xiao to Tian An as a teaching nanny, and they don't believe the reasons given.
Under the overt and covert urging of the ladies, Mrs. Gu finally agreed to send someone to Mrs. Gu's yard to invite Tian An.
But the news we got was that she had something going on at home and had left early.
