Chapter 87 This is an expert
As the medication was taken, the swelling on Mo Yi's face subsided a lot.
Only that bruise was a little scary.
Fortunately, I can work normally. I asked her to cut the blood-stained dress. The fabric is good and brand new. It can be made into small bags, which are also good for packaging when selling goods!
Once the idea came to him, he asked Xiangzhi to do it. It didn't take long before he made a bunch of them, big and small.
She was just admiring it with satisfaction when Qiuhong came and said that the lady wanted to see her.
It's a bit strange. Why are you asking me to come over at this time?
As soon as I entered the room, I found Mo Wen and Mo Qing were there.
Several people in the room were looking at her face...Although it was still ugly, it finally didn't look like a steamed bun.
"The foster nanny your aunt mentioned will be here soon. You guys should all go and see her and listen to what she has to say. It will only benefit you!"
The one Wang was talking about was a woman in her forties, thin, wearing a brown shantung gauze jacket with narrow sleeves and a fitted body, with a few delicate hairpins on her head, and white satin shoes of the same color as her clothes.
The powder on her face was light and delicate, and the lip balm on her lips was soft and shiny. Seeing her, Mo Wen remembered that there were two women in Dajue Temple who also had similar powder and lip balm, which must have been quite expensive.
His eyes were very bright, his chest was puffed out, his neck and back were raised, and his hands were folded on his abdomen.
The whole person is neat and tidy, and meticulous.
He saluted Wang several times, his words were clear, and his posture and angle were standard.
Wang looked at her, her eyes full of curiosity and admiration.
"The woman's husband's surname is Yang, but when she comes out to teach, people outside call her: Madam Chen."
She spoke in a low voice, with ups and downs, neither hurried nor hurried, and there were no big ups and downs in her tone.
It's totally unlike Wang's usual shrill, chattering voice!
Sitting there, with his body straight, at first glance, he was so different...
Wang and Mo Wen looked at each other and were quite satisfied.
Last time when he went to Dajue Temple, Mo Wen paid special attention to Zhang Xianlin and Madam Hou. He felt that they both had the best manners. Although Mrs. Liang was not from a lowly family and Liu Yuan was talented, they were slightly inferior to Madam Hou and Miss Zhang in terms of demeanor...
Perhaps it is because of the family's background and years of influence that this can be revealed. The Xu family is also a family of officials who have been around for many years. So Xu Ke also has that kind of energy...
These are my weaknesses!
The gap in family background cannot be repaired in a short period of time. Now that you know your shortcomings, you must study hard!
"Then please tell us about your experiences, Madam Chen, and what you have experienced?"
Madam Chen's expression remained unchanged, and she said confidently, "My master was Nanny Jiang, who was by the side of the former Empress Dowager. After serving the Empress Dowager, she left the palace and took in some apprentices, and I was one of them. After learning from my master, I have been engaged in this business for many years, and I have taken in hundreds of girls, if not a thousand. There are daughters of marquisates, and girls from the families of civil officials and military generals. Now, some of them have become princesses or concubines, and most of them are also the mistresses of high-ranking families.
Not only these officials and descendants of famous families, but now, far-sighted wealthy families all pay great attention to the cultivation of girls in their families. Therefore, they will also invite women to come to their homes.
Most of those who have been trained by women have good marriages. When they arrive at their husband’s house, they behave well and make no mistakes, and are highly valued by their mother-in-law and husband.”
Oh, this is exactly the effect I want! Wang nodded as she listened.
"Mrs. Mo, your idea of asking the master to teach the girl is very practical and far-sighted. Your vision is much higher than that of ordinary women!"
These words came from her heart, and her mother would be happy!
As expected, Wang was immediately overjoyed. "Hey, my family was well off, but when we were young, they only hired some needlework masters, who taught us how to do accounts, but they never thought of sending us to school or hiring masters to teach us the rules. Now that I think about it, it was still a lack of foresight! Now, my sister and I understand! We should have let the girl learn earlier, it's not like they can't afford it!"
"This shows that your parents' family and your husband's family are both thriving and making progress! When life is prosperous, your horizons will naturally be higher, and your requirements in all aspects will also be different!"
Hey, Madam Chen's flattery is a bit obvious, but I'm still happy to hear it.
"Mrs. Chen is right! Look, a grown-up girl like me has found a good husband..." She started chattering again.
Madam Chen took the opportunity to look at the three girls present. When she saw Mo Yi, her eyes froze for a moment, but her expression did not change. After Wang spoke for a long time, she nodded directly: "You and Madam Qin are right. There is still half a year before the wedding, so now is the right time to learn! Moreover..." She looked at the three girls of the Mo family carefully, "Your girls have a good foundation. If you give them a little guidance... you will see that they will be even more different!"
"That's great! May I ask...what do you teach?" Wang asked.
"The first one is walking, sitting and lying down. It's like the saying goes: stand properly, sit properly, eat properly. There is a lot of content, don't underestimate it!
The second is etiquette, including movements and how to greet different people. The eldest daughter has a good marriage, and she may enter the palace in the future and have to deal with the ladies of the imperial court, so it will be even more useful..."
When Wang heard this, her eyes sparkled.
"The third is clothing, including how to dress and what to wear for different occasions. I have very good connections with some jewelry stores and clothing shops, so the clothes and jewelry are guaranteed to be the latest and most fashionable!"
This person... is he a shareholder of the store? Mo Yi wondered secretly... But the Wang family also does this! It probably won't work if I want to make money from my mother!
"The fourth is how to get along with the mother-in-law and husband. These are the basics that a married woman must learn.
On this basis, if necessary, you can also learn some social skills, such as giving and receiving gifts, etc. Of course, if you want to learn how to manage household items, there are also classes for that.
There will be higher-level ones. For example, I have a considerable appreciation for many jewelry, calligraphy and paintings. If the girl needs it in the future, she should learn this. Finally, there are some suggestions on dowry management and property purchase in the mansion..."
Wow! She's an all-rounder! So impressive. Is teaching just a way for her to do business? Tsk, this is also a way! Mo Yi was still thinking wildly.
"It all depends on how much you want your daughter to learn and how long it will take. If she wants to learn everything thoroughly, it will take two to three years."
Wang's heart was pounding when she heard this, and she cried out, "That won't take that long... My eldest daughter only has one or two months to learn the rules. She'll be married in more than half a year, and there will be a lot of things to do."
"I understand. That's fine. Your daughter has a good foundation and can learn easily. As long as the daughter is a month or two old, she can be married off decently. When the time comes, the mother-in-law will see that she is a daughter-in-law who knows the rules, is good-looking and generous!"
Wang nodded excitedly: "That's right, it will be fine if it can be done this way."
Mo Wen felt that her mother's attitude was a bit humble: "Mother, our family has provided girls with a school, and I know a thing or two about it. It's just that I didn't focus on it too much before, and I didn't summarize it like Madam Xu did."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Wang nodded vigorously again.
Madam Chen also nodded and said, "The young lady's marriage is very good, and she is marrying up. Therefore, your performance is very important, but you can't be too humble! If you are always submissive and inferior to others in everything, others will look down on you. But if you are too arrogant, it seems that you are trying to save face, which makes you look shallow. How to control the degree and scale, there is a trick!"
Wang was quite convinced by these words. "That's the truth! Although her husband's family is good, she was also provided by me with fine clothes and delicious food. She is also very delicate! It is right to respect your mother-in-law and respect your husband, but you can't let others look down on you!"
"Madam wise!"
They had a very pleasant conversation.
"How about we set a month first?!" Wang thought.
"Okay. Then I'll schedule it for the whole month of February. I'll arrange another student for March. I'll ask the girl a few questions later so that we can decide in advance what to teach this month."
I really specialize in this! It's just different!
Madam Xu's performance made both Wang and Mo Wen very satisfied.
"Then how is the fee calculated?" Wang asked.
"You don't need to take care of the Mo family. I will bring a little maid to serve. You only need to take care of the lunch and dinner, as well as tea and snacks. If you only want to teach the eldest daughter, the monthly tuition will be ten taels of silver, plus one tael of silver for the carriage and sedan chair."
This was similar to what Wang had planned, so she nodded.
Madam Chen looked at Mo Yi and Mo Qing and said, "You have two girls here, so it's convenient for them to study together. So, if there's one more girl, add 7 taels. If there are three girls... I'll be generous too, so the total will be 20 taels!"
Good at bargaining! Mo Yi admired him very much.
Wang was a little hesitant: "Mrs. Xu is so good, I'm afraid she's always invited. It's hard to tell when she'll be invited next time. Besides, it's expensive to invite her alone."
Why not let the three of them... Then Mo Wen said, "Mother, it's only one month, I'm afraid my daughter will be quite nervous."
Wang heard this and said: Forget it, just focus on Wenwen first, and we'll talk about it later. Besides, if the Liang family doesn't work out, who will Mo Yizhi marry? Learning all this may be useless!
"Mrs. Chen, this time we are mainly focusing on my eldest daughter. The other two are still young, so I will invite you to come when you are free."
"That's fine!" Madam Chen didn't show it, but she was a little disappointed in her heart.
I came back late from dinner yesterday, so I'm updating late.
Thank you for your continued support.
