Chapter 454: What a Dull Future for Grandmother He!

uijin Beach.In the Suijin Beach, the village headman was leading people from Ye's courtyard to move things out.Baskets of chicken eggs and duck eggs, piles of emerald green vegetables, a few cages of...Fortunately, there were Shui Yun, Shui Ling, and Dong Mei at home to help out. Zheng He and Zheng Feng were also diligent and quick-witted, sharing a lot of the burden.

And Ye Tong followed Li Lao Er, going in and out of the city, it was enough to tire him out.

Li Laotai was afraid of disturbing her granddaughter and worried she would run to the construction site behind and get hurt.

So, she discussed it with her daughter-in-law and decided to include teaching the little granddaughter proper manners on their agenda as well.

Grandmother He, a nursemaid who came from the palace, finally had the opportunity to showcase her professional skills. She was so excited that she almost burst into tears...

Unfortunately, she had only taught the little master for half a day, and he still hadn't mastered even the basic curtsey, when the Marquis returned home...

"Learning the rules must be tiring for you, Fu Niuer, right" The marquis didn't even bother to remove his cloak as he stepped forward and took Jia Yin's hand.

He looked her up and down with concern, afraid the little girl had been wronged or suffered.

Jia Yin rushed over, hugged her adoptive father's arm, and said with a smile: "No, adoptive father, grandma told me stories, it was so interesting. I just learned the rules, squatted dozens of times, and then you came back!"

Dozens of times

The lord frowned and turned to call Ye Shan, "Take the Miss to the next room, and tell the old madam on your way that I will be having lunch at home today."

"Yes, Master Hou," Ye Shan immediately stepped forward, crouched down and carried Jia Yin out.

Jia Yin looked towards Grandma He, who raised her foot to follow, but then heard the Marquis say: "Grandma He, please stay."

Grandmother He's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly bowed respectfully and stood to the side.

As expected, Ye Shan had just disappeared at the door with Jia Yin when the master said: "Grandmother knows that Fu Nuer is still young and frail, and can't be too tired... So, Grandmother taught her etiquette, and to do things properly.

"

"Don't make it too tedious, don't make it too complicated, and don't bring the methods used to teach palace maids into your home. How can you teach the County Princess etiquette while making her happy, relaxed, and eager to learn Nanny needs to think about this more."

He Ma grinned, realizing that the Marquis had rushed back, worried that the county princess would suffer, and came to support her!

But she still depended on living off the countess in her old age, so there was no way she would mistreat the countess.

This morning, the story went on for an hour, while only a moment was spent on rules. The Marquis already felt sorry for the princess.

Thinking about all the rules she still hadn't learned, she felt faint. Her future seemed bleak and hopeless!

But she still couldn't disobey, so she could only say: "Rest assured, my lord. This old servant will definitely teach the young lady well and make sure she won't suffer."

The marquis then nodded, "Alright, you teach the county princess well, this marquis will not treat you poorly."

Having said that, he took a silver ingot from his pocket and handed it over.

Grandma He hurriedly knelt down, taking both hands, "Thank you, Lord Hou, for your gift."

"Go on, remember to be careful."

The lord gave another instruction, and He Ma ma bowed her head in response, retreating out the door.

She clutched the silver awarded by the Marquis, feeling as if she were holding a burning coal, unbearably hot!

Just as I arrived at Li's doorstep, I saw the old master's carriage returning.

Li Zhensheng got out of the carriage and, seeing Grandma He standing at the door, smiled and said, “It’s a coincidence, I was just about to look for Grandma. Didn’t expect to run into her here.”

He was speaking, and as he turned his head towards Zheng Fengyi who was hurrying to catch a car.

Zheng Feng quickly brought forward a piece of fabric and a box of snacks, "Grandmother, the Master said that you have been teaching the princess etiquette for too long, and he specially got you this piece of fabric and bought your favorite snacks."

"Grandmother He hastily bowed and declined, "Lord Master, teaching the Lady Proprietor etiquette is this old servant's duty. This old servant will certainly do her best, but she cannot accept such a generous gift!"

"Here you go, Grandma," Li Zhensheng advised. "Little Fu Niu is quite mischievous, so you'll have to take extra care of her in the future... But after all, she's still young. Grandma, you need to teach her slowly and patiently, don't rush things, right"

Grandmother He could only smile wryly. This was another time someone was afraid she would be harsh to the master!

She wanted to say, she dared not, she wouldn't, she couldn't bear it!

Unfortunately, no one believed it…

She could only accept the things, letting the old master in front of her feel at ease.

As expected, seeing her hold the things in her arms, Li Zhensheng was even happier.

As they spoke, several people arrived at the courtyard. Li Lao'er came out from behind, his long shirt still dusted with soil.

He patted her while curiously asking Mama He, "Didn't you say you were teaching Fu Niuer about manners I was just going to go take a look!"

"How is Funiuer learning Are you tired Grandma, Funiuer is still young. There's no need to rush learning the rules. Take it slow..."

If Grandma He hadn't survived for decades in the palace, enduring everything with incredible patience, she would have let out a long, loud cry right now!

She was wronged!

Could it be that she gives off a harsh impression on a daily basis, is that why everyone fears she will mistreat her master!

She dared not, she dared not, she dared not!

Luckily, Old Madam Li appeared in time and rescued the nearly suffocated He Mama.

She called her eldest and second sons over, asking, "What are you two doing huddled around Grandma He Come here and see how well Funiu is squatting. It's only been this morning, but she's already learned so well. It's all thanks to Grandma He's teaching!"

Li Zhensheng and Li Laer hurried into the house, and soon the sound of laughter filled the room.

Then Grandma He thought for a moment, and sent the things back to her ear room.

Just as luck would have it, Shui Ling accidentally got her clothes wet and went back to change.

She saw that Grandma He's expression was unusually rich and colorful, so she covered her mouth and giggled softly, whispering, "Grandma, it must be difficult to teach the princess etiquette, right"

"How did you know" Grandma He glared at her with displeasure.

Shui Ling's smile grew even brighter as she explained, "Because this morning, the old lady mentioned several times that she wanted to send some snacks to Miss, and then worried about Miss being tired. When I said I wanted to go next door, the old lady wouldn't let me!"

Grandma He had completely given up and lay down on the kang (traditional Chinese bed) without getting up.

It's over, she's completely given up hope.

Originally, she thought the old woman would be ruthless and have her strictly educate the princess, making her a pillar of support.

Looking back, this mountain of support never existed...

Without mentioning He Ma's "despair," let's just say that the midday meal table at Li's house was lively. Although there was a lack of Li Lao Si, who had gone to join the army, and Tao Hongying, who had gone into the city, the addition of the Marquis and Li Zhensheng made up for it.

After talking about the construction of the back courtyard, they talked about the other three villages digging canals, and then they talked about the new things in the city. Everyone had eaten half a bowl more rice than usual.

Jia Yin got up early and didn't eat much, so now she was a bit hungry and ate with extra relish.

But in the eyes of others, this child was seen as having been tired out by learning the rules and regulations, and his appetite had increased.

Then, one person shelled shrimp and the other removed bones from ribs, constantly serving dishes to the plump girl.

Jia Yin laughed with delight, eating until her belly was round and full.

After the table was cleared, the Marquis took her for a stroll in the courtyard, claiming it was to aid digestion.

When the sun began to set, the lord wanted to return to the city. Tomorrow was a grand court meeting, and Li Laoer also left with him.

That night, Li Lao Er still stayed with Mr. Wen as usual, taking the opportunity to listen to Mr. Wen talk about current affairs.

The next day at court, several elderly ministers argued for a whole hour about a trivial matter, citing ancient texts. Li Laoer listened, drowsy and bored.

He finally made it to the end of his shift and followed Mr. Wen and Liu Ziheng out, yawning discreetly behind them.

Unwillingly, Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng suddenly stopped walking, causing him to almost bump into their backs.

Just as he regained his composure, he realized that there was someone blocking the way ahead again.ing where to accommodate her daughter-in-law and the children in their house. She was starting to feel a bit worried as it seemed like there wasn't any more room left.After all, Huiniang is here to re...
