"It should be."
Xiao Zhengning nodded hurriedly. The nuns who came out of the palace did not have a contract of sale or anything like that. They were mostly maids who were selected to enter the palace. They would only leave the palace when they get old and want to find a place to retire.
After spending decades in the palace, when they got older they wanted to see the outside world and find a stable place to live. These nobles in the capital set their sights on the nuns and invited their daughters to their families. We work as nuns, firstly to gain a good reputation, and secondly, because of their connections.
Even though she has left the palace, her previous contacts are still there; more or less scanning can help her find the new master, and she can also find out what is going on in the palace. He even knows the empresses of each palace, and is even more familiar with the rules in the palace.
Now that the empress has ascended the throne, although she does not have a harem, her grandmother is well versed in matters in the palace.
The nuns who come out of the palace are very popular, and even if they don't have enough status, they can't get them.
"Here we come, one of us will come to Grandma's side. Grandma will also learn the rules and etiquette from the nuns in the palace. Maybe they will be useful when they come." As soon as Minghua finished speaking, the old lady frowned. Shaking his head, "You are so old, you still need to learn these things?"
Xiao Zhengning and Xiao Leshi looked at each other and saw helplessness in each other's eyes.
Mr. Xiao showed interest, "It doesn't matter if you learn the rules, you can't live everything according to what you think in your heart. Learning the rules will be beneficial to you. In the future, when you go out to socialize and talk to others, you won't make others angry as soon as you open your mouth." What a joke. Sanya and Kang Kangping will become officials in the future, and they will go out to socialize a lot. Not to mention socializing with young people, they will always have some interactions with old people."
Minghua never expected that the old man could say these words; it can be seen that the old man really thinks about her, her parents, and her brothers, and can think of everything ahead of her.
"What you said makes sense, so let's learn it; it's just that we are old at this stuff, and we may not be able to learn it, and it will make people laugh even more." The old lady still wanted to struggle.
Mr. Xiao said: "If you can't learn it, you have to learn it. If you really can't learn it, you don't have to go out to socialize."
That's not possible, she still wants to show off her grandchildren's potential to others.
"I'll learn." Old Mrs. Xiao agreed.
A smile flashed across Mr. Xiao's eyes, thinking that she had listened this time, "That's how it should be. When we get old, our children and grandchildren will be filial; we are blessed and enjoy good things. We have nothing to do at home and take care of the vegetable fields. We must also learn what we need to learn." Get up and do nothing less."
They were not lucky enough to go to school. Now that they have the opportunity, why not study?
Do you really want to waste all the good opportunities and settle for mediocrity?
He felt that he should not and could not have such an idea; it would set a bad example for his children and grandchildren, and it would be bad for others to follow his example.
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, old man. He still talks a lot at his age."
the next day.
It was just dawn, and Minghua went to tell the three gentlemen about the move. The three gentlemen had no objection after hearing it; their main task was to teach Minghua, no, now it was time to talk about Zhaoyang County Lord. Naturally, he had to follow her and go wherever she went.
I will have to rely on her for retirement in the future.
"Let's pack our things right now. Let's put today's lessons aside for now; we'll learn more after your next break." The speaker was the piano teacher, Mr. Qu.
"Okay, you three will pack your things first. Later, I will ask the servants to come and help you move the things." After Minghua said that, she went to find the housekeeper first, and then invited a few servants to come and help move the packed things. Go to the mansion next door.
The courtyard still arranges them in the front yard.
It's just that there are relatively many courtyards here and the area is relatively smaller; the three gentlemen each chose a small courtyard.
"Three gentlemen, please clean up first. There is already a fire here. If you are short of something, ask the servants to call the housekeeper to come over. Add what should be added. The housekeeper is now in charge of two mansions and is relatively busy. Maybe I will be a little slower on some things, and I ask the three gentlemen for their understanding." Everything that needs to be said must be said to the point.
Long Yufei, who teaches chess and calligraphy, nodded and had no objection to this.
After Minghua left, the three of them went back to the yard to pack their things.
The mansion next door.
When Minghua arrived home, she saw the housekeeper beside her husband sitting in the courtyard, and there were six old ladies in decent clothes beside him.
"Uncle Butler, why did you come here in person?"
"Miss Minghua, I asked my servants to bring people to you. I am afraid that there are not enough people around you, so I selected six nuns from the palace who have their own strengths." As for keeping those people around. , it all depends on her.
Minghua looked at the six nuns, and the six of them were also looking at her. She was dressed in a student uniform, without any makeup or powder, and her hair was pulled up. She looked neat and tidy, like a county magistrate.
Two nuns frowned, obviously dissatisfied with her dressing up.
Minghua knew what was going on, so she thanked the housekeeper beside her husband, "Uncle housekeeper, please make this trip."
"Don't you dare. You will offend me by saying this. My husband is waiting for me to come back to life. I will leave now. You can choose the right one among the six nuns to stay with you."
After sending the housekeeper away, Minghua looked at the six nuns of different ages. The youngest was in her forties and the elder was in her fifties.
In ancient times, people over forty were considered old.
"The servants pay homage to the Lord of Zhaoyang County."
The six people came together to see the ceremony.
Minghua walked up to the main seat and sat down. She raised her hand and said, "Everyone, please get up. Do you all come to me voluntarily?"
"Yes." A nanny of medium height and slightly chubby spoke, followed by a series of responses from the side.
Minghua nodded with understanding, "In that case, please tell me carefully what the nuns know, what their last names are, and their ages."
"My surname is Chen. I know medicine, food, and medical skills. I took care of the food around the nobles in the palace."
"My surname is Wang. I am fifty-four years old. I am good at embroidery and strategy."
"My surname is Ning. I am fifty-six years old. I know some medicine and poison."
"My surname is Min. I am forty-eight years old. I am responsible for teaching etiquette and rules in the palace."
"My surname is Luo. I am forty-eight years old. I know some leg and foot skills."
"My surname is Tian. I am forty-three years old. I know medicine, medicine, medicine, poison, music, chess, calligraphy and painting."
Yes, Grandma Tian is a relatively well-rounded grandma, with the best temperament among all the grandmas. She has bright eyes, she is in her early forties, but her eyes are bright and lively.
Grandma Chen is slightly chubby, and her facial features are not very delicate, but they fit together exceptionally well.
Grandma Ning is on the thin side, and because of her thin cheeks, she looks a bit mean.
Grandma Min has a normal figure, delicate facial features, and is well-maintained, making her look several years younger than her peers.
Aunt Luo is well-proportioned and stands upright. She has a capable aura about her body. Moreover, she is tougher and stronger than the other nuns.
"The nuns who came to me must have known me. Am I right?" Minghua nodded and started with an affirmative tone.
