The book has no strength, the female supporting role just wants to survive

Jiang Tunan: I can’t survive at all, really.

Who could tell her why Madam Xiao would send someone to teach her when she was just a parasite who lived in the Xiao Mansion and ate and drank for free?

I have already traveled through time and space in a book, and I still have to go to the morning office.

"My dear cousin, I am the nanny sent by Madam Xiao to teach you etiquette. You can just call me Nanny Jin."

"Miss Cousin?"

Jiang Tunan was still curled up in the quilt, with a messy hair, blinking his eyes and looking at Jin Ma. But Jin Ma always had an official smile on her face.

As expected of a nanny in a wealthy family, she has excellent psychological quality.

"If the young lady lives in the Xiao Mansion as Miss Jiang, it may damage her reputation. Madam is kind-hearted and has sent a letter to the clan. From today on, the young lady is the cousin from Madam's family."

Oh, this is, she arranged a fake identity for her. As expected of the mistress of the Xiao Mansion, she would not let the Xiao Mansion have any chance to embarrass itself.

So Jiang Tunan finally got out of bed with the help of Chunhua.

"Miss, as the cousin of the Xiao family, you must get up at 1:00 a.m. every day. Your every move must comply with the rules. Don't be reckless and bring shame to the Xiao family."

Jiang Tunan sat at the table, her mind still inactive, nodding randomly, cursing the damn feudal system in her heart, which was simply oppression of women. She was a new-age woman from the 21st century, and she couldn't give in easily.

It was not until Nanny Jin hit her arm with the bamboo stick that Jiang Tunan cried out in pain.

Jiang Tunan: I’m convinced, I’m convinced, I’m really convinced.

Jiang Tunan felt that Jin's career had come to an end when she met him. She had seen this Wanfu ceremony in TV dramas, but she couldn't do it right when she did it herself.

And Nanny Jin could no longer tolerate it. She had been a teaching nanny for so many years, but she had never encountered a corpse that was so difficult to teach, not the body.

"We have studied etiquette for a long time today, let's start by studying the "Book of Virtues for Women"

Nanny Jin wiped the sweat from her forehead. Her old bones really couldn't bear it anymore.

In the plum garden, La Mei was massaging Madam Xiao's back, and Nanny Hua brought her a cup of hot tea.

"Madam, since you have already given the child the status of a cousin, why do you still need to ask Nanny Jin to teach her?"

Nanny Hua came as a dowry with Madam Xiao and had been serving Madam Xiao since she was a child.

Madam Xiao's name is Ji Xinhui, the youngest daughter of Duke Anguo. The current Minister of Justice Ji Lian is Madam Xiao's biological brother.

Aunt Hua knew that the Madam had her own ideas since she was young, and she could understand many things on her own without needing to be taught.

"What does it matter if you have the status of a cousin? If you can't follow the etiquette and rules, you'll still be a country girl."

Aunt Hua began to think about it.

"Madam, you have taken so much trouble to teach her. I wonder if you have accepted her in your heart."

Ji Xinhui rubbed his temple and replied

"I didn't accept her, but for the Xiao family. My husband is such an upright and rigid person. I'm afraid he regards this favor as important as his life."

Ji Xinhui waved her hand backwards, signaling La Mei to leave.

She was attracted by Xiao Huaimin's pure heart, so she was willing to marry him as the most favored daughter of the Duke of Anguo when he was still a fifth-rank doctor in the Ministry of Rites. Facts have proved that she was right in her choice of person, and Xiao Huaimin has indeed become the Minister of Rites today.

Ji Xinhui picked up a piece of cake and put it in her mouth.

"It's a pity that sometimes he is just too stubborn. If it weren't for my father and brother's help, I don't know how many people he would have offended."

Ji Xinhui took only one bite, then put down the pastry and gently tapped off the crumbs.

"Madam Hua, tell the maids not to buy these cakes next time. Caixianzhai's cakes are beautiful, but they are too sweet."

"Yes, ma'am."

In Jiang Tunan's yard, Jiang Tunan was staring at Nanny Jin.

"Mammy, you brought so many books here. I understand that you want me to study hard, but I don't know many of the words."

I know your intention is good, but don't set off yet. You'd better take a few steps back.

Jiang Tunan felt that it was great to be an illiterate in ancient times.

"It's alright, I'll read it to you, young lady."

Nanny Jin almost squeezed out these words from between her teeth. She was careless and forgot about it.

"Well, thank you so much, Aunt Jin."

It’s okay, you read yours and I sleep mine.

"Please listen carefully, young lady. If you don't understand anything, I will explain it to you."

"Uh-huh."

Jiang Tunan supported himself on his left side with one hand, with his palm open to cover his left eye, so that Nanny Jin wouldn't notice when he closed it. When his left hand got sore, he switched to the other side.

Jiang Tunan: Hehe, I take turns standing guard with my eyes and have a good sleep.

It was so nice. Listening to Nanny Jin's chanting, Jiang Tunan felt as if she was back in her university ideological and political theory class, where she also slept so soundly.

"As a woman, you need to have four virtues. These four virtues refer to women's virtue, women's speech, women's appearance, and women's work. Among them, women's virtue refers to..."

Nanny Jin felt that the room suddenly became quiet. She turned around and saw that Jiang Tunan had closed his eyes and might fall down at any time.

"Miss!"

Jiang Tunan jumped up reflexively.

"To!"

Damn, this damn roll call reflex in college class.

"Miss, please be serious. And Miss, as a lady from a noble family, how can you be so rude?"

Jiang Tunan rubbed his sleepy eyes and said perfunctorily,

"Yes, Nanny Jin is right."

"Miss, do you remember what I just said?"

"Remember, remember. It means to observe the virtues of a woman, right? I'm listening to you, Mammy. Don't worry, although my eyes are closed, my ears are not closed."

Nanny Jin: Why do I suddenly want to quit my job?

"Miss, if you continue to be so careless, I will have to report to the Madam. I am incompetent and cannot teach you."

"Oh, Mama, what are you doing~"

After you leave, the next time you leave, your temper might not be as good as before.

"Alas, Madam, to be honest, I am actually unable to do it. When I was young, I met a great man from a foreign country. He said that if a person studies in a closed environment for a long time, it is most likely to make him lose concentration."

Nanny Jin: Why don’t I believe it?

"Besides, Mammy, you know that I have been in poor health since I was a child. After studying for so long, my body can't take it anymore."

Jiang Tunan took out a handkerchief and pretended to cough a few times. The handkerchief was the one Chunhua used to wipe her mouth yesterday. It still had the scent of chicken soup. Jiang Tunan took a deep breath. It smelled really good.

Nanny Jin was also skeptical, as she had indeed heard that this "cousin" had been in poor health since childhood.

"Then please follow me to the Diecui Pavilion in the mansion. You can take a rest there. I will teach you later."

Nanny Jin thought to herself that Diecui Pavilion was in the northwest, and the masters and mistresses lived in the south and east. Even if she was let out, it would not disturb the mistress and the masters.

But Jiang Tunan was thinking in his heart that the original owner had suffered from heart disease since childhood, which is professionally called congenital heart disease. When the original owner escaped from the Jiang family, he already had signs of heart failure. Later, he traveled day and night, and thus died.

But since she came here, she has not had any major health problems, it's just that long-term malnutrition has caused her physical condition to be too poor. She would gasp and cough after walking a few steps.

For example, now, I haven’t even reached the Diecui Pavilion yet, but I’m almost coughing like Lin Daiyu.

"Chunhua, slow down...cough cough, slow down..."

This damn girl has endless energy all day long. Why is the gap between people so big?

"Yes! Miss! I'm just too excited. I couldn't enter the inner courtyard before."

After a day of getting along, Chunhua was no longer as cautious as she had been at the beginning, and with Jiang Tunan's permission, she no longer called herself a "slave".

"Chunhua, I really can't walk anymore. I wish you could carry me."

Jiang Tunan said casually, but Chunhua suddenly became excited. She swung her body, carried Jiang Tunan on her back, and strode forward.

Jiang Tunan:?

Until Jiang Tunan stood in front of the Diecui Pavilion, she didn't react to what had happened.

Fortunately, Nanny Jin was not there, otherwise she would have cried if she saw this scene.

Jiang Tunan sat in the pavilion, carefully recalling whether he had any signs of heart disease from yesterday to today.

Difficulty breathing may be a problem with the respiratory system, or it may be a problem with the circulatory system, or of course it may be due to fatigue.

Muscle weakness may be caused by a disease in the nervous system, drug poisoning, or simply hunger.

Jiang Tunan: It’s bad, this is the beginning of cancer.

In this era without CT machines and blood tests, the knowledge she learned was basically useless. Moreover, if she really had heart problems, then she didn't need to treat minor illnesses, and she couldn't treat major illnesses either.

Never mind, just start!
