She is knowledgeable about tea, and she comes from a distinguished family, so she had to learn these things from a young age.
After she got married, during the prosperous years of her family, she would drink tea with those noble ladies every day and knew just as much as those female teachers.
When Madam Yao heard that the Lu family was looking for a female teacher to teach tea ceremony, she wanted to help, but she felt that she had never taught anyone before and it would be bad if she ruined their business.
While He Jiuniang and her daughter-in-law were still discussing, they didn't notice Madam Yao's unusual behavior. However, He Jiuniang asked, "Auntie, do you know any female tea masters who are skilled in tea ceremony? I'm thinking of finding someone recommended by an acquaintance, which would save trouble and give me peace of mind!"
After all, Mrs. Yao was a guest, and it wouldn't be appropriate for them to ignore her while the two of them were discussing matters concerning the club.
Since she had been asked, Madam Yao decided not to hide her knowledge and said directly, "I know a little bit about this. If you need any help, I can lend a hand."
Madam Yao thought that the two families were now considered godparents, and He Jiu Niang had saved Su Su twice and was going to treat the old man's illness, so she had done the Yao family a great favor. She had just given her such an expensive membership card, so it would be unreasonable for her to keep taking it for free.
"Really? Oh, that's wonderful!"
He Jiuniang was very happy, then this would save her from looking outside. Madam Yao was a very good person, and given the current situation of the Yao family, she was willing to help Susu a little. Moreover, Madam Yao relied on her own abilities and did not give any special treatment.
Madam Yao hurriedly said, "I only know a little bit about this and have never tried teaching anyone before. I don't know if I can be of any help, but I can give it a try."
Madam Yao didn't make any definitive statements, just in case she felt uncomfortable and asked the Lu family to find someone else, so as not to be too embarrassed.
"Alright, alright, it's settled then. Although we're all family, let's keep things separate. Auntie, how about I give you a repair fee of one hundred taels, based on the market price?"
He Jiuniang readily agreed. She felt that Madam Yao was definitely not the kind of person who would put on a brave face. Since she was willing to step forward, it meant that she had enough confidence and was trustworthy.
Unlike a school, the tuition fee for a tea ceremony class is not paid every academic year. The course is short, and you can master the basics in a month at most. You can become proficient by practicing a few more times. Since it is a short course and there are quite a few instructors, the tuition fee is relatively expensive.
"What tuition fee? I was just helping out, it's nothing, besides, you guys..."
She wanted to talk about the membership card, but He Jiuniang interrupted her: "Auntie, those are two different things. Work-related matters should be kept separate. My mother goes to the club every day, busy with all the work, and I even calculate her wages."
Mrs. Sun chimed in, "That's right. We keep our money very separate. It's our own business, but everyone who works there deserves to be paid. It's only right. You're so capable, sister, you've solved a big problem for us, so we should accept this money!"
"this……"
Mrs. Yao was somewhat surprised. This club was their own property, so why should they have to pay wages?
Wouldn't that make us seem distant?
Judging from this, the Lu family members seem to have a very good relationship, while her family is a complete mess.
"Alright, alright, it's decided then. Come to the club tomorrow and I'll introduce you to everyone. Then you can decide how to teach based on the situation. We'll all follow your plan."
Sun is a straightforward person. Since she has decided to use her, she won't waste any more words and will get her on the job tomorrow.
Since they were so agreeable, Madam Yao felt it wouldn't be right for her to be too hesitant, so after thinking about it, she readily agreed as well.
Given the family's current situation, it's good that she has some income at all.
After dinner, Master Yao came to pick up Madam Yao and Susu, and also asked He Jiuniang to take a look at his illness.
Although he didn't have high hopes, he still had some expectations because He Jiuniang had cured so many difficult and complicated diseases.
With no male head of the household present, Lei Zi and Lu Xiaoyang came in handy, coming out to keep him company. The two children were well-mannered and generous, reminiscing about funny stories from their school days, which resonated with Mr. Yao, making him laugh.
Old Master Yao felt he hadn't laughed so heartily in many years. Looking at the Lu family's children, his eyes were full of envy. His son had been spoiled, and naturally his grandson was just as good-for-nothing, causing trouble all day long at such a young age, which was a real headache.
While Master Yao was chatting with the boys, He Jiuniang had already given him a simple examination and asked him a few questions, basically determining the cause of his illness.
Overworking in one's youth can lead to organ failure, which is irreversible. However, if one starts repairing the damage now and takes good care of oneself, living a few more years is definitely not a problem.
He Jiuniang quickly found a direction for treatment and said, "Uncle Yao, this disease cannot be cured, but it can be alleviated and improved, making you much more comfortable than you are now, and your lifespan can also be extended. But you must listen to me and follow my method. This requires long-term persistence."
For He Jiuniang, this was just an ordinary instruction, but for Master Yao, it was like a lifeline.
Because no matter which doctor he saw before, they all said to do his best and leave the rest to fate. Over the years, he had spent a lot of money and taken a lot of medicine, but his condition had not improved and his health was getting worse. But He Jiu Niang said that she could make him much more comfortable than he was now and even prolong his life. This was the most pleasant thing he had ever heard.
"Okay, okay, I'll definitely listen to you!"
Master Yao's hands trembled, vividly demonstrating what it means to be overjoyed.
He Jiuniang went to the side to write down the prescription, saying as she wrote, "The most important thing is to avoid extreme joy or sorrow. You must control your emotions. It's okay to go out for a walk when you're in a good mood, but you can't overwork yourself."
"good!"
He nodded repeatedly, realizing that he seemed to be a little too happy, and hurriedly forced himself to calm down, but the smile on his face did not stop.
After writing down the prescription and exchanging a few more words, the Yao family was about to leave. He Jiu Niang hugged Su Su and kissed her, asking, "Su Su, Mommy and Brother Gou'er are going to the capital in a few days. Do you want to come with us for a few days? We'll send you back after a while."
"The capital?"
Su Su blinked. She remembered that her mother had married and moved to the capital. She longed to see her mother, but she was also afraid that her mother would not see her. Her eyes revealed both longing and timidity.
"Yes, it's Jinzhou City, where the emperor is."
He Jiuniang gave a simple explanation, without urging her, but simply waiting for her to make her own decision.
Mr. and Mrs. Yao did not interfere with her and respected her choice.
In the end, Xiao Susu shook her head: "If I don't go, will Mommy and Brother Gou'er come back to see me?"
