After rebirth, I went from a peasant girl to the richest man
Chapter 272: Being mocked for delivering scriptures
However, what is being compared is not the result of learning.
Antique vases and paintings, jade jewelry...
Everyone hopes that their feelings can be remembered by the nanny, and preferably she can secretly teach them some skills to make a living in the harem.
The nanny was someone who had seen good things, and Bai's mother thought that she would refuse all of them, so she only prepared a handwritten scripture.
It’s not expensive, but it’s definitely worth the effort.
The maid looked expressionlessly at the young man who was presenting the gift, and with a glance she instructed her men to accept it all.
It was not until he saw Bai Mu's scriptures that his eyes changed.
The nanny stretched out her hand, and the maid waiting beside her handed over Bai's mother's scriptures.
Bai's mother was pleasantly surprised for a moment. She thought she would get some praise or guidance from the teacher in her own school.
But the nanny just flipped through a page casually, then raised her head and fixed her gaze on Bai's mother.
There was no kindness in the old man's eyes, but rather a sharpness that was intimidating without even getting angry, and full of the majesty of a superior. The words he said made Bai's mother the object that everyone present avoided.
"Miss Bai's handwriting is good, but it's a bit flattering to try to find things that men like."
I don’t know if it’s because people in the palace like to speak slowly and in a sarcastic tone.
After hearing this, Bai's mother's face turned pale. At such a young age, how could she withstand such an insult?
What the nanny said was simply that in order to enter the palace as a concubine and win the emperor's favor, the daughter of the Bai family was willing to learn men's things and please men, and she had no woman's modesty at all.
With this kind of mentality, how can I learn good skills from her?
There were no adults present during the Jiang family's apprenticeship ceremony. After all, many of the side branches were not in Kyoto, so only little girls and maids and servants accompanied them.
The head of the Jiang family directly told the adults not to show up and let the children learn to adapt to such situations so that they can deal with them calmly when they grow up.
Therefore, no one supported Bai's mother in her situation.
Helpless, she could only explain with a trembling voice and a pale face: "No... I... I didn't."
"Mammy, I just..."
Before Bai's mother could finish her words, the nanny raised her hand to interrupt her, waving her hand to signal her to stand aside with the others.
From that moment on, Bai's mother was labeled in the nanny's mind, and it was brought up intentionally or unintentionally during teaching.
The Jiang family woman kept silent about the "scandal" for the sake of her reputation at the behest of the head of the family.
After all, if one woman's reputation is damaged, it will implicate others.
But this matter still spread within the Jiang family.
In the family, every time someone mentioned Jiang's father and mother in front of them, they would pretend to mention it casually, but their faces would be full of sarcasm.
Even Bai's mother would be ridiculed after class every day.
Because the unfavored daughters of the Jiang family, even if they are the legitimate daughters, are bullied by others.
What's more, it was the daughter of the Jiang family who was sentenced to "death penalty" to some extent.
After this incident, Bai's mother would not be favored by the nanny and would not be able to learn anything.
Even that man's poems and essays were the envy of their parents in the past.
……
Bai's mother pretended to be indifferent and talked about the past with Su Niangzi, and tacitly allowed Bai Qingyun to listen on the side.
Bai Qingyun leaned on Bai's mother's shoulder, snuggling up to her and giving her a sense of security.
"Mom, you suffered much more than my youngest son!"
The doubts, ridicules from others, and even the disappointment of her grandfather, did not waver in the slightest.
Even now, Bai Qingyun's consideration made this mother shed tears.
The pain that has never been expressed is no longer a painful memory at this moment, and telling it to everyone is just a joke.
With tears in her eyes, Bai's mother stroked Bai Qingyun's face with a smile: "At that time, I didn't feel bitter, but I felt a little wronged!"
"Little one, remember, there are many people in this world who like to point fingers at you even though they clearly don't understand."
"They are not really helping you through the difficult times, they just like to teach you and enjoy the process of guiding you..."
Madam Su took a sip of tea and glanced at Bai Qingyun provocatively.
Sure enough, it’s not as good as my own craftsmanship!
Then he said with a smile: "Madam means that the nanny doesn't know how to read!"
Madam Su said affirmatively.
Bai Qingyun was a little puzzled: "But isn't literacy basic for working in the palace?"
Bai's mother explained: "Those are the palace maids and eunuchs in charge. Many of them were carefully trained by the family."
"If not, she would not have been sent to the palace."
"Most people come from poor families and have no chance to learn to read."
"But weren't those maids also brought into the palace by previous concubines?" Bai Qingyun was even more confused.
At this time, Su Niangzi beside her also explained considerately: "The concubines of the previous dynasty only cared about appearance."
“Even if we look at talent, it’s just that he can sing and dance.”
Bai Qingyun understood and whispered, "It's just a matter of judging the person you are dealing with!"
The emperor was given whatever he liked.
No wonder the previous dynasty perished!
Although Bai Qingyun spoke softly, because he was lying on Bai's mother's shoulder, he almost spoke into Bai's mother's ear.
Madam Su also knows some martial arts, and she is better than ordinary people at identifying locations by sound, so naturally she heard it.
He drank the remaining tea in the cup with a smile on his face and looked at Bai Qingyun with raised eyebrows.
Although the tea was not brewed well, and he didn't know how to wash the tea leaves, he just poured the boiling water into the tea leaves.
But it is undeniable that the tea in Bai Qingyun's hand is really good.
Bai Qingyun was helpless. It was because he was so curious that he wanted to listen to the conversation between the two people, so he could only be served by a junior like him.
Looking at the teacup in front of her, Madam Su continued to speak with satisfaction.
"In fact, it's not entirely because of catering to their preferences."
"Those people are not stupid. It is not at all... 'not worth it' to put a truly talented woman in the family into the harem of the former dynasty."
Bai's mother nodded in understanding. Raising a woman like this is sometimes more difficult than raising a man.
"But those who are good at singing and dancing are the easiest to find."
"You can find a bunch of them in any building on the street."
"Adopt an adopted daughter or something, give her a status, and send her to the palace."
"The girls we train are the most valuable when they are sent for marriage."
Mrs. Su's words were all "easy to understand", and the mother and daughter nodded continuously in agreement.
In the past, Bai's mother would have thought this was not elegant, but after staying in Dayang Village for a long time, she realized that this kind of speech was the most "down-to-earth".
In fact, it is more popular than those words that people cannot understand.
Don’t those men just like to use those incomprehensible “words of sages” to beautify their own behavior?
But in fact, that’s exactly what Madam Su said!
