Now, the master of the Jiang family is kind-hearted and easy to get along with. Since I don't have the courage to die, I'll just live well here.
Mu Yi'an looked at Granny Hai and realized she had figured it out.
"Madam, I will teach Miss well. I won't say she'll be an expert in everything, but she'll have a basic understanding of it."
"Granny Hai, I didn't expect the child to be so proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
You need to teach her to enjoy the pleasures of music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, instead of letting her be bound by so-called talents and become their burden.

Sister-in-law Zheng used to be the head housekeeper in the main house, and later she worked for Sister-in-law Fang.
The other boys and girls were all quite young, so they followed along to learn martial arts, run errands, and learn how to be good servants.
This was the task assigned to them by Steward Li: to learn how to serve their master well.
