"In the future, I will teach Miss Tilan some etiquette lessons."
A maid wearing glasses stood in front of the girl. She looked to be in her 30s, neatly dressed and with a serious expression.
She seemed to be a stern teacher. Tilan blinked and sensed that the maid across from her was also very strong. She was at least Sequence 6 and could be said to be a rare elite.
"I understand, Teacher Pulanli."
She still respects these professional teachers very much, knowing that asking such people to teach her is quite expensive.
"Uh, I don't need to." Anneli looked at the head maid and felt a little embarrassed, remembering the scene when she was a child and was taught by the strict nun at home.
"Miss Anneli really doesn't have to learn the same thing as Miss Tilan..." Halfway through her words, Annelie breathed a sigh of relief, but soon the head maid continued.
"However, if Miss Anneli wants to become an excellent adjutant, assistant, or perfectly deal with the scenarios that Miss Tilan may encounter in the future, she also needs to complete many things and abilities." She pushed her eyes and looked coldly. Sweeping past Anneli, the girl's body trembled.
Although she is a genius that the family is optimistic about, she has become a little drifting in recent years, so she usually becomes lazy. Although Heshia can't see any difference, in front of this professional maid, Anneli's usual performance is, It can be said to be full of loopholes.
"Oh, okay, I'll just learn." It looks like it's going to be a hard life for a while, Anneli thought to herself.
"Very good, let's start the course today." The head maid immediately got into the mood.
At this moment, the place where they study is not in the classroom, but in the house where Heshia temporarily lives at Edes Academy. This head maid Pranli was specially invited by Edes Academy to teach Heshia. The resident teacher in the school, it is said that the people she served in the past were all famous families in the Central Star Territory. If it weren't for the deep connections in Eds Academy, she would not be able to invite her here.
First, Pulanli asked Heshia to walk, drink water, sit down, etc. in the usual way to observe whether her posture and manners were up to standard.
After a little nervously following the instructions, the teacher Pulanli made a comment.
"Although there are still many areas for improvement, it can be seen that you should have received education in this area when you were a child. It is not without foundation. This can save a lot of time."
Thanks to her mother’s teachings when she was a child, Heshia developed good habits.
After that, the teacher picked up the pointer, swung it slightly, and made a snapping sound in the air, waking up Anneli who was slightly distracted in the distance.
"Listen, beauty is a powerful weapon in the hands of women, which can give you an advantage in life and work. However! If you do not master this weapon well, it will greatly reduce your score in the eyes of others, and even make you worse. People are disgusted and rejected.”
"You are still young, still 16-17 years old. This is generally the age when women are the most beautiful and the easiest to get preferential treatment."
"I emphasize this point, don't accept what you are experiencing and encountering as the norm, but realize that this is a benefit that will slowly fade over time."
"Society has different requirements for men and women, and it also has different requirements for adults and children. Children can say something that everyone will find interesting and cute, but when an adult says it, it will become meaningless. Polite and disgusting in appearance.”
"If you are addicted and accustomed to enjoying this kind of preferential treatment now, and you are unscrupulous and do not develop good habits and mentality, then when you are older, you will face a big gap and you will be at a loss."
"The difference in perception between a teenage kid asking you for candy and a 40-year-old woman with pinky-faced face asking for candy is huge."
"Habits are something like this. If you formed them when you were sixteen or seventeen and lasted for more than ten years, it would be difficult for you to change them in your lifetime."
"And this kind of habit developed when you are privileged will have a great gap and conflict with your subsequent life, making you anxious, mean, and gradually disgusting."
"Although you are all eldest ladies and have deep family backgrounds, which will most likely ensure that you will live in a privileged environment throughout your life, the aura you possess will only be useful to the lower class."
"Just imagine, even if you and the other person are from the same class and have a good family background, but the other person behaves very rudely and has some behaviors that disgust you, you will definitely stay away."
"If you just want to face those poor and humble people who look at you begging for food and hope you can give alms to them and don't care whether you are rude or rude, then you don't need to learn these etiquette."
"But people in the upper class are also human beings. As long as you want to maintain your family business or develop and grow, you have to deal with, cooperate with, and even ask for help from many people of the same class. You must pay attention to the perception you give to others."
"It definitely doesn't mean that because I have money, I can be unscrupulous. This is common among some nouveau riche."
First she clarified the importance of learning etiquette, and then started the real teaching, including adjusting the girl's sitting and walking posture, tone and movements when dealing with others, etc.
This does not mean that you have to follow a standard template, but these behaviors should be appropriate and make each other comfortable.
At the beginning, these changes will be a little uncomfortable, but as long as they are integrated into habits and unconsciousness, you will gradually be able to "do whatever you want without going over the rules."
"Etiquette does not mean following a certain textbook and strict manners, but making one's posture natural, showing true feelings, and looking beautiful and generous at the same time." She later added gradually.
Throughout the day, Tilan followed her instructions, constantly adjusting some of her unconscious habits until she finally found a balance point that was comfortable for herself and comfortable for others.
"There is a misunderstanding in learning etiquette, or developing other habits, that is, you only focus on the benefits of this habit, and ignore whether the habit is adaptable and comfortable. If a habit makes you particularly uncomfortable, or If you are very resistant, even if it is a good habit, it will be difficult for you to stick to it.”
"Because maintaining this kind of behavior requires you to fight your will all the time. This consumes a lot of people's energy and cannot continue forever."
"It's best to find a balance point where you don't feel too uncomfortable but can also realize the benefits of this behavior, so that it can gradually be internalized into your unconscious habit."
A week after entering Edes Academy, Tilan began to accept the training plan specially arranged for her by the academy, and the first of these was courses related to etiquette.
Good afternoon~
