"Thank you, my master." A group of palace maids bowed to Yaoguang and then looked at the farm tools in the yard.

Although their work was much easier with the use of farm tools, were they really cut out for it? Could they cultivate so much land?

Looking at the dozens of acres of cultivated land behind me, I feel that life is not easy. But at least now, it is not that hard.

Just as Yaoguang was about to start writing, Wei Shiyuan brought two maids to Yaoguang and introduced them to her: "Sister, these two maids are from the palace, Madam Qi and Madam Gui."

The two old maids' eyes stayed on Yaoguang. They stared at her clothes in shock for a moment. Although they looked strange, they still bowed in the end.

"Meet Miss Wei."

"Madame Qi teaches etiquette, and Madame Gui knows some embroidery and spices. Sister, the two matrons will leave after you have finished your studies," Wei Shiyuan reminded.

Why was it after Yaoguang graduated? Mainly because she had already learned some of these things. Although she was not a nanny in the palace, she had learned them pretty well.

"Okay." Yaoguang nodded.

"Then I will take the two maids downstairs to rest for a while. We have to get up at noon tomorrow to attend classes. Thank you for your hard work, sister."

Chenshi is seven o'clock in the morning. The sun has just risen and is not considered early for Yaoguang.

As for hard work, she didn't feel it was hard. What Wei Shiyuan said sounded like very little, and she had already seen some of it at the main brain. It just lacked some hands-on experience, but Yaoguang didn't feel that she encountered any difficulties.

The two maids were watching the two young ladies quietly while they were talking. As old palace maids, they were used to observing their expressions.

Before the two came, Wei Qichen told them that a girl in his family grew up in the countryside and did not learn etiquette very well, so he asked the two to go over and teach her carefully until she was good enough to be taken out to banquets.

At first, although Yaoguang's dress was a little strange, thinking of Wei Qichen's words, I thought she was an unfavored lady who was favored again. But then I saw Yaoguang's demeanor, neither humble nor arrogant, and she didn't look like someone who was raised in the countryside.

Although they were curious, the two did not worry too much.

They were hired by the Wei family to do the work, and they only needed to do their job well.

The next day, Yaoguang got up early and put on the new clothes prepared for her by the mansion. She went to work next door yesterday and didn't have time to change, so it was just right for her today.

Yaoguang had chosen the fabric herself, as well as the color and style. It was different from the pink color of ordinary dresses, and it didn't have so much gauze, but a very common goose yellow color.

She was a young girl in her prime, and when she put on bright clothes, her face looked as rosy as a peach or plum, as bright as the winter jasmine flowers blooming proudly on the branches.

Wei Shiyuan came to Yaoguang's yard early in the morning and was worried that Yaoguang had not gotten up yet.

As soon as he opened the door, he saw Yaoguang face to face, and his eyes lit up. He smiled and said, "Sister, this dress looks really smart."

It is true that clothes make the man, and saddles make the horse. Once she puts on this dress, no one will question Yaoguang's identity as Miss Wei. Coupled with her calm eyes, it shows her noble demeanor.

She doesn't seem to be the poor girl who wore coarse cloth and was raised in the countryside.

Wei Shiyuan's eyes were shining the whole time. She accompanied Yaoguang to finish breakfast and waited for the two maids to arrive.

Today's morning class is about embroidery, and the one who came is Aunt Gui.

Nanny Gui was originally an embroiderer in the palace. Because of her good embroidery, she even worked as a female official in the clothing bureau. However, flowers do not last forever. No matter how good Nanny Gui's embroidery was, the masters would get tired of her one day, so she was squeezed out and became an ordinary female official.

Until a favored concubine took a fancy to her and took her to her palace to be her concubine's exclusive lady-in-waiting. As she grew older, she was released from the palace and made a living by relying on the skills she learned in the palace.

"Have you two young ladies learned embroidery before?" Nanny Gui asked, her tone very kind and a smile on her face.

Wei Shiyuan: "I have learned a little, but I am not proficient in it."

Yaoguang: “I haven’t learned it.”

Very good and straightforward.

Nanny Gui kept smiling. She did not ask Wei Shiyuan what she would embroider. Instead, she took out the silk thread she had prepared long ago and showed it to Yaoguang.

Tell her the difference between each one and what each one does.

There are also various tools for embroidery, hand frames, embroidery needles, scissors, embroidery frames, etc.

Nanny Gui explained very carefully, paying attention to Yaoguang's expression as she spoke. She was afraid that Yaoguang might not understand something, so she was ready to stop and explain it to her in detail.

It was obvious that Yaoguang's eyes looked ordinary the whole time and she couldn't make out anything, so Nanny Gui had no choice but to teach Yaoguang some basic things.

"This is the orchid I embroidered a few days ago. The leaves are not finished yet. I will teach you how to embroider it. You can try it on your own hand."

As Nanny Gui spoke, she began to thread the needle. Yaoguang stared at Nanny Gui's hand movements very carefully.

After Aunt Gui finished embroidering, she asked Yaoguang to do a few simple stitches, "Miss, be careful, don't prick your hand."

Yaoguang nodded and started threading the needle.

In a short while, the leaves embroidered by Nanny Gui were directly reproduced on Yaoguang's embroidery frame, exactly the same.

Nanny Gui looked at it for several times, then looked at the embroidery in her hands.

It took her half a month to learn this needlework. How come this girl is so fast?

Everything happened right under the nose of Aunt Gui, and she had to admit that Yaoguang was extremely talented.

If you learn embroidery, you will become a good embroiderer!

Although she was a daughter of an official, she had many embroiderers in her house, but having such a skill was icing on the cake.

Nanny Gui believed that Yaoguang's rapid progress was due not only to Yaoguang's own talent, but also to her own contribution. She said it well.

She directly told Yaoguang the more difficult things, teaching her how to embroider a mandarin duck, first tracing the picture, then dividing the embroidery threads, and how to make each stitch beautiful.

After a whole morning of teaching, Aunt Gui was so thirsty that her mouth was dry. Seeing that Yaoguang was listening attentively, she was very happy.

He immediately assigned Yaoguang an after-class homework: "My little girl, keep this mandarin duck and think about it before embroidering one yourself. I will come back tomorrow to help you check it out."

After seeing off Nanny Gui, I had lunch and rested for a while, then it was time to learn the etiquette from Nanny Qi.

The two sisters stood in the corridor of the second room, standing with Nanny Qi, listening to her talking about the etiquette of walking. "Although men like to walk like a willow in the wind, it is ultimately a minor art, which is what the girls in the brothels need to learn. You are from an official family, you must be dignified and steady..."

As Nanny Qi explained the rules, she looked at the two of them and immediately began to demonstrate.

After the demonstration, let two people do it again.
