Chapter 196: Chapter 195 Requesting Help from the Tang Family Chapter 196: Chapter 195 Requesting Help from the Tang Family However, Mrs. Lai’s eyesight was a bit blurry. Having heard that drinking chrysanthemum could improve one’s vision and with such delicious honey available, how could she resist drinking it? She had the maid make her honey tea daily, with a touch of chrysanthemum.
Mrs. Li, seeing her daughters enrich themselves every day, naturally didn’t remain idle. Since giving birth, she felt her once slim figure had beco much fuller, which she found sowhat inconvenient.
She didn’t diet intentionally, but she moved around the room while her daughters did their morning exercises and took care of her children.
Mrs. Li certainly didn’t dare to go out to the courtyard to exercise vigorously. As a farr’s wife, she knew that behaving too boldly would attract idle gossip, and she couldn’t get past her Mother-in-law’s scrutiny.
Since the birth of her son, Mrs. Li had been even more dedicated to raising him. After bearing five daughters, those bleak days now seed to give way to spring.
Having a son seed to make everything complete, and she devoted more ti to him.
She took great care in raising her son, trying to make up for the regret of not being there for her youngest daughter in her infancy.
During her pregnancy with her son, Mrs. Li heard her youngest daughter, who had just begun to speak, talk about prenatal education every day for the child in her womb.
She didn’t understand what prenatal education was. Her wish and her husband’s was for the child in her womb to be as smart and agile as their youngest daughter. They hoped this child would be a son and also be bright and agile.
The couple talked to the unborn child in her belly every evening.
Sotis, their daughters would also sing and talk to the child in her womb when they were by her side.
Ye Shiqi even adapted 300 Tang poems she had read in her previous life into songs, singing them next to her mother.
Her efforts were slightly successful; the sisters didn’t know the songs were actually poems, but they could still follow along and sing a few lines, morizing so of the songs by ear.
Mrs. Li watched her older daughters, under the guidance of their youngest sister, not only sing and dance but also learn to write and draw.
She felt her life had started to change since the arrival of her youngest daughter.
Even though she now had a son, she was even more fond of her youngest daughter than her other daughters.
Don’t say she was too biased. This was actually guilt for not being there for her youngest daughter during her early years.
She always tried to compensate with her unique motherly love. As a mother, Mrs. Li felt she owed her daughters too much, especially the youngest one.
She knew their ho’s prosperity today owed much to her youngest daughter’s trendous efforts.
Although the entire family worked hard to improve their lives, she knew it was her youngest daughter’s efforts that had made their lives better.
Since their household’s life had improved, Mrs. Li’s family back ho also strived to better their own lives. Her two younger brothers were even working hard to manage their estates well.
She could lead many people to wealth, but as a countrywoman, she didn’t feel proud. She only wished for her children to grow up healthy and et so of their daughters’ demands with their efforts.
Hongji, wanting a teacher for his daughter and to buy musical instrunts, t Young Master Tang, the junior housekeeper of the Tang Family, the next day at the factory and relayed this request to him, asking for his help in finding a teacher and buying musical instrunts.
Young Master Tang, after hearing Hongji’s words and understanding it was the Ye family’s sisters who wanted to learn and purchase musical instrunts, agreed to his request without hesitation.
The Tang Family’s shops, spanning the nation, dealing in essentials like firewood, rice, oil, vinegar, groceries, fabric, ready-made clothes, and gold and silver jewelry, also had stores selling musical instrunts.
Whether ordinary instrunts or precious ones, these high-end instrunts were certainly crafted by skilled artisans using costly materials. Although not exactly rare, they have all kinds of instrunts used by young ladies and young masters from wealthy families to learn music.
There would also be a workshop for making musical instrunts, and Hongji only wanted to buy ordinary instrunts, which Young Master Tang’s housekeeper agreed to do, offering them at the most favorable prices.
Hongji gave Young Master Tang’s housekeeper money to help him buy the instrunts and to hire a teacher.
Young Master Tang’s housekeeper returned to the mansion in the evening. He rembered that the young master had said that he needed to report every action of the Ye family’s sisters to him.
In the evening at this ti, it was the young master’s dinner ti, and as usual, he would dine in Madam’s courtyard.
Young Master Tang’s housekeeper did not enter the dining hall where the masters ate. He waited in the living room, and after the masters had finished their dinner, he would report the matter to them.
As for his own dinner, of course, he would go back to his house and eat with his wife, who was already pregnant.
Jinhua, since becoming pregnant, had suffered from morning sickness. She would work in the young master’s courtyard during the day and return to her own house at night.
Even though she was pregnant, she punctually and unfailingly escorted the young master to and from the Xinghe Academy every morning and evening.
She only rested on the young master’s day off, which was also her day off.
The young master had grown a bit, and with the Attendant Student by his side, she, the wet nurse, no longer had to live in the young master’s room daily like Mrs. Li used to do.
Since she had gotten married, Chunxiang and Qiu Xia would take turns on duty in the young master’s room at night.
The maids did this, of course, to prevent the young master from kicking off his blankets and catching cold at night.
Of course, Jinhua arranged their daily assignnts, which was also per Madam’s wishes.
Young Master Tang’s housekeeper drank a cup of tea and ate a little pastry to fill his stomach before the young master finally arrived.
Forrly, Housekeeper Tang managed the timber factory in cooperation with the Ye family, but since Young Master Tang’s housekeeper got married, these tasks had been handed over to his son.
He specifically managed the mansion’s affairs and so assignnts from the Old Master. Although not yet of retiring age, he had already delegated many responsibilities to his son, including the managent of the Tang Family’s estates.
These properties were all overt assets of the Tang Family and did not include the dowries of the Tang family’s won.
The won’s dowries were all managed with the help of their own dowry assistants.
As usual, Tang Shunyan saw Young Master Tang’s housekeeper in the living room and knew he must have sothing to discuss.
If there was sothing that couldn’t be shared with others, Young Master Tang’s housekeeper would secretly tell him.
So, this ti, whatever had happened in the Ye family must definitely be sothing that could be shared with everyone at ho.
Young Master Tang’s housekeeper, upon seeing young Master, did not imdiately speak. This young master, so composed, had already made him accustod to the young master’s calm deanor. To those who knew him, he was mature and composed; to those who didn’t know better, they might think he was a slow-moving lady.
Tang Shunyan sat down on a chair on the side, and a maid brought him post-dinner tea, which was also chrysanthemum soaked in honey. Drinking chrysanthemum tea was revitalizing and had beco part of his daily routine.
While studying at the academy, he would have his family prepare chrysanthemum tea in a flask. When thirsty, he would take a few sips not only to quench his thirst but also to keep him alert when he felt drowsy.
Tang Shunyan took a few sips of the chrysanthemum tea, placed the cup on the table, and then said to Young Master Tang’s housekeeper:
“Young Master Tang’s housekeeper, speak directly, please! What has happened in the Ye family again?”
