Chapter 271: Chapter 249 Dinner Starts Later_2
The other guests of the Tang Family felt it strange—what was going on with the Tang Family? It was clearly alti, yet there seed to be no intention of starting the al.
So family mbers who followed the young Master Tang to the courtyard had already found out about the contest between Miss and the farr girl.
Mrs. ng, in the living room, initially thought her daughter had just stepped out for a mont, but later, when she sent the maid to find her, she learned that her daughter had gone to Young Master Tang’s courtyard. She decided to disregard it.
It was almost alti and her daughter had not yet returned; she had no choice but to send the maid to see what was the matter.
“Mrs. ng, do not worry; your Miss is very promising, she is painting in my grandson’s study!”
Mrs. ng felt strange about Madam Tang’s words—why was her daughter again showing off her skills in front of others? She already had a reputation as a talented lady.
There was no need to be so forgetful of her als, preventing so many from dining together.
“Ah, being a mother is not easy, having such a peculiar daughter. It is really a headache.”
Mrs. ng wasn’t just boasting about her daughter’s capabilities; so of her daughter’s abnormal behaviors were sotis truly beyond her control.
For instance, she had a grand idea and had said so upon arrival, asking her daughter not to cause trouble here and upset the host’s family.
It hadn’t been long since they arrived, yet her daughter had forgotten, preventing the host’s family from starting their al at the auspicious hour.
Even though one does not need to pick a specific day for a birthday, one would choose a specific hour to dine.
Today was supposed to center around young Master Tang as the protagonist. Her daughter behaving in such a way had overshadowed the event.
Mrs. Tang didn’t show a displeased expression, but Mrs. ng could feel it. It was about saving face for their family. If it had been soone else, they wouldn’t wait for her daughter to finish her business and would have just had everyone co back to start the al—letting her daughter go hungry if she didn’t eat!
“Miss ng is so lively. Children are like that. She and a farr girl, only over two years old, are comparing their painting skills; I really don’t know who would win!”
Madam Tang often heard these words spoken by her grandson in front of her.
Her grandson would dine in her courtyard both at noon and in the evening every day. Whenever sothing occurred with the Ye family, or her grandson took interest in so actions of the Ye family, he would discuss it in front of her.
Over the past year, it had been as if she had seen the Ye family and their children’s transformations with her own eyes.
It wasn’t her first ti seeing Mrs. Li’s five girls, each one of them so dainty. She had observed them among the crowd of nobles who visited the estate last ti.
“Madam, I’m not quite sure what you an by that!”
Mrs. ng actually didn’t know that the Ye family’s little girl could paint; she only heard that the Tang Family had hired Mr. Le, who also part-ti instructed Ye family girls in music.
Madam Tang looked at Mrs. ng, understanding from her expression that she was clueless. Looking at Lady ng, it appeared that not every matter was discussed with her mother.
Everyone says daughters are the warmth of a family, but facing a daughter like Miss ng, she wasn’t as considerate as her own grandson.
That’s what Madam Tang thought, yet she didn’t voice it out loud. She dared not say such things in front of Mrs. ng.
“Lady ng has been proficient in Qin, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting since she was young. Don’t underestimate her just because she’s a farr girl; from a young age, she has been adept at many things. Even I am sotis in disbelief at what I hear. A lot of these things I know from my grandson; the little Ye girl can paint, and her skills in Qin, Chess, Calligraphy, and Painting aren’t bad either. This cos from the mouth of our Mr. Instrunt.”
After hearing Mrs. Tang’s words, which suggested her daughter was inferior to a farr girl, Mrs. ng, as a mother, was the first to object.
Her daughter, educated by a scholastic family, losing to a daughter educated by a farr woman?
It’s not just about the children’s competition; this was already damaging to her own reputation. Could she be inferior to a farr woman who hardly knows more than a few characters?
Miss Ye was known for her delicate beauty, which Mrs. ng had seen twice already.
Being dainty might be due to good genetics or the local environnt, but she couldn’t believe that a farr family could afford high-quality supplents to nurture their child so well.
She heard that Mrs. Li’s family was very poor before. When she ca to be a wet nurse, her infant at ho was malnourished, scrawny, and yellow from hunger.
It was only during these past two years as their family beca wealthy that their children started to look vibrant and dainty.
Mrs. ng struggled inside, her disbelief evident on her face, yet she did not use her words to satirize or refute.
She was more composed, unlike her daughter who would just say anything.
