Liu sighed and said, "I wanted to ask Mother Zhao to agree that your sister and Miss Xie would study together.

A few days ago, I heard that the Xie family invited a female teacher named Mei Shuyu from the capital. It is said that Ms. Mei is a famous talented woman in the capital and has taught the daughter of the Shangshu family before. "

Yun Zhiqian's eyes flashed with surprise: "Mei Shuyu?"

"Has Qian'er also heard of Mr. Mei?"

Yun Zhiqian nodded.

The reason why Yun Zhiqian had heard of Mei Shuyu was all because he was a classmate of his.

She was born into a scholarly family. Not only had she been well-read since childhood, but she also had an elegant and refined appearance. Unfortunately, an elder in her family committed a crime and her family's home was confiscated.

She was full of talent but unfortunately she was a girl. Although the women in her clan were not implicated and became official prostitutes, it also affected her marriage.

Mei Shuyu was very clear-headed. Without the strong support of her maternal family, even if there were many young men in the capital pursuing her, she could only be a concubine.

It would be better to be self-sufficient and make a living with her own talents. From then on, Mei Shuyu taught poetry, literature and etiquette to the young ladies of wealthy families.

Now she is eighteen years old and still unmarried. She earns money to support the family while helping to take care of her younger brother.

Yun Zhiqian had a classmate who had the honor of meeting Mei Shuyu once. He fell in love with her and could not stop thinking about her. He kept talking to Yun Zhiqian about Mei Shuyu's deeds all day long. Yun Zhiqian's ears were almost covered with calluses.

It is said that even though Mei Shuyu lived in poverty, she did not take in all the female students. She would not take in some notorious families no matter how much money they offered.

I don’t know how the Xie family managed to invite Mei Shuyu!

"Mom, I heard that Mr. Mei is very knowledgeable and has elegant manners. It would be great if my sister could study with him!"

After spending these days together, Yun Zhiqian has already accepted this sister in his heart.

"Mother thinks so too, but it may be difficult to get the Xie family to agree.

If Fu'er can learn from Mr. Mei, when she grows up, her mother will save up some dowry for her, and her marriage can be arranged sooner."

Yun Fu was touched when she heard Liu's plan for her outside the door.

Although she was proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting in her previous life, she had practiced hard for many years in the Song Mansion. If she suddenly took out these things, people would definitely be suspicious.

It would be a good thing if I could really learn from Mr. Mei.

But she couldn't be so selfish and let her mother go to Xie's house to suffer.

She remembered that in her previous life, her elder sister did not become Mei Shuyu's student as she wished.

The Xie family did not agree to let a servant's child study with several rich young ladies, for fear that it would lower his status and cause ridicule if the news got out.

There was no girls' college in Shiqiao Town, so my sister could only learn a few words from her brothers.

"Mom, I don't agree with you going back to the Xie family. I would rather not go to this school."

When Liu saw Yun Fu suddenly come in, she said, "Fu'er, listen to your mother. This Mr. Mei..."

"I don't want it. I want my mother to take care of herself. If she compromises and goes to the Xie Mansion again just because I want to study with Mr. Mei, Fuer will feel guilty."

Liu's eyes were filled with emotion. She didn't expect her daughter to be so sensible. If it were any other child, she would definitely agree to her parents' arrangements.

"Mother, there are more than one female teacher in the world, and Fuer is still young. Maybe there will be other opportunities in the future. If you really want Fuer to learn something, then you can teach me embroidery."

Yun Zhiqian also advised: "Mom, I will definitely find a better female teacher for my sister in the future."

Seeing the determination in the two children's eyes, Liu stopped persuading them.

Forget it, let’s talk about it when we have the chance in the future.

Xie's Mansion was like a den of wolves. She encountered a murder case on the first day she took Fu'er there, which really made her worried.

With the interruption from the Xie family, Liu gave up the idea of ​​going to the town.

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it had been more than two months since Yunfu was reborn, and it was summer.

The Xie family also often sent people to the Yun family to persuade Liu to take care of the old lady, but Liu did not lower her conditions. As long as Yun could be helped into the Plum Garden to take classes with Mr. Mei, she would go to take care of the old lady.

Just like in the previous life, the Xie family allowed Yun Fu to attend classes as a maid accompanying the young lady of the Xie family, but Liu flatly refused.

The reason is that she can be a servant, but her daughter cannot be a servant.

In her previous life, the reason why Liu agreed to let Yun Yao go to the Xie Mansion as a companion was entirely because of Yun Yao's own request. She wanted to climb up the Xie family, and even though she was just a companion, it was a rare opportunity.

But in the end, the Xie family changed their mind and forced Yun Yao to sign a contract to sell herself before they would allow her to study with them!

How could the Yun couple agree to that? In the end, the two families failed to reach an agreement!

But Yun Fu doesn't need such an opportunity.

Mrs. Wang, the main wife of the Xie family, originally wanted to agree to Liu's conditions, but someone with ulterior motives reported this to Aunt Lin, and then the head of the Xie family rejected it outright.

Fortunately, after the Xie family came to the Yun family several times, they saw that Liu refused to give in, so they stopped sending people, and the Yun family finally had peace.

Liu earned some money by doing some embroidery work, but the work was unstable. Sometimes she spent a lot of time on the embroidery but no embroidery shop would accept her work.

Even if the embroidery shop accepts the money, it will sometimes hold it back and only pay after the embroidery is sold.

But Liu's craftsmanship is still relatively good, and basically everything she embroiders can be sold.

Yun Fu also learned some simple tricks from Liu these days.

In her previous life, Yun Fu was proficient in playing the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Although she was not an expert, she was above average. However, she could not learn needlework no matter what she did.

Her finger was pricked and bleeding again. Liu said distressedly, "That's enough. Stop embroidering."

Mrs. Liu was a little worried. She had originally wanted to teach her embroidery skills to her daughter so that she would have a skill to rely on and would not starve.

It seems that this is not possible now. I am afraid that her daughter's wedding dress will have to be provided by her as a mother.

"Mom, I want to finish embroidering."

After Yun Fu's hand was pricked countless times, she finally managed to embroider a handkerchief.

When Yun Zhengqing came back, she gave it to her father like a treasure: "Daddy, this is for you."

Yun Zhengqing took it and was deeply moved. He also heard from the child's mother that her daughter's hands were pierced while embroidering this handkerchief.

Yun Zhizhang suddenly stuck his head out: "Let me see what my sister has embroidered."

He also wanted one embroidered by his sister, but he didn't dare to compete with his father.

Yun Zhizhang saw the four big words "Father's Love is Like a Mountain" embroidered on the handkerchief. Although they were crooked, he still recognized them. He was surprised that his sister, who had never been to school, could embroider such words.

"Huh? Why did my sister embroider a grave on the handkerchief, and the grave is covered with grass."

Seeing the pattern above, Yun Zhizhang couldn't help but ask.

"Nonsense, you are a bad brother. What I embroidered is... it is a mountain and a tree."

Yun Fu's voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end even she herself lacked confidence.

Not only are the stitches rough, but the embroidery also looks weird and even the patterns are twisted together.

"Second brother, a few days ago you pestered me for a handkerchief, and I promised you that I would give the first one to Daddy and embroider the second one for you. I will embroider it for you now."

Yun Zhizhang waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, sister has worked hard to embroider handkerchiefs for dad, you should take a break, look at your little hands."

"No need, second brother. I'm not tired."

Yun Zhizhang shrank his neck and said, "No need, sister. If you really want to embroider it, then give it to big brother. Big brother was talking about wanting the handkerchief you gave him a few days ago."

Yun Zhiqian quickly denied: "How could I? If you dare to touch me again, I will beat you up."

As the two of them talked, they started to chase each other and make a lot of noise.
