The stunning beauty of Qing Dynasty

The thin woman, wearing a green lotus dress, was holding a bowl of porridge and eating it in small sips. Her movements were indeed indescribably attractive.

Xiang Lian couldn't help but be fascinated by it.

Xiang Lian felt that if her eldest daughter took better care of her body and had more flesh on her cheeks, she would definitely look very beautiful.

Looking at the gentle and peaceful eldest lady, Xiang Lian secretly vowed to feed her own young lady and make her fat.

After finishing the meal, Qingyin put down her chopsticks and asked Xianglian beside her.

"Mother, where is the etiquette nanny you mentioned?"

"Oh, Miss, that's what you're talking about. Madam said that at 3 pm in the afternoon, Madam will come to teach Miss on time."

Qingyin nodded. Since the etiquette nanny would come in the afternoon, she would have more time to rest during the day.

Qingyin was also happy and at ease with Mrs. Lin's contemptuous attitude.

A morning was happily spent in a leisurely vacation.

While waiting for the etiquette nanny to arrive in the afternoon, Qingyin was still a little reluctant and closed the system movie screen in her mind. Only then did Qingyin calm down and look at the etiquette nanny who had arrived with a serious face.

But Qingyin's actions looked different in the eyes of the visitor.

Nanny Li was a nanny who had retired from the palace due to age. Because she had served several imperial concubines in the palace, etiquette nannies like her who had retired from the palace were very popular. The Lin family paid a large sum of money to reluctantly keep her in the Lin Mansion to teach the several female masters in the mansion rules and etiquette.

Mrs. Lin asked her to come and teach Qingyin in person because she was afraid that Qingyin would not learn the rules well and lose face for her, so she called her here specifically.

Seeing the girl turning her head nonchalantly (?), Nanny Li, who always had a serious face, frowned and said sternly: "If the young lady wants to learn etiquette, she must have a good attitude. Otherwise, I can also report to the Madam to replace the etiquette nanny for the young lady."

Qing Yin blinked her eyes, her eyes sincere and she looked at Madam Li calmly: "Thank you for your guidance, Madam. I understand."

The girl had a pair of moving eyes. These beautiful eyes changed Lin Nanxu's mind when he first saw them. Naturally, they could also shake Li Ma's mind.

Looking at these eyes that were as clear as a pool of water, Li Ma secretly admired that this young lady from the countryside had such an outstanding pair of eyes, and she also changed her mind unconsciously.

His tone softened: "Since you understand, Miss, please follow me and learn how to walk."

Qing Yin nodded.

Madam Li cleared her throat and said, "When a woman walks, she must keep her body and mind stable. She should not lean forward or backward, sway left or right, and her head should be slightly lowered... Miss, I will demonstrate it to you first, and then you can try to walk again."

Qingyin: "Okay."

Nanny Li is worthy of being a nanny who came from the palace. Every step she takes seems to have been measured, and the size, length and distance are consistent. Every movement seems to be regulated, revealing her elegance and Nanny Li's own solemnity.

Qingyin admired it for a while.

Qingyin waited until Nanny Li left before she started studying.

The more Qingyin learned, the more surprised Li Ma's eyes became.

Half an hour later, the originally serious Nanny Li's attitude softened as she looked at the girl beside her whose movements were standard and elegant.

Although this young lady was raised by a peasant woman, she was able to learn the rules very quickly. Her appearance of being able to master everything she learned is truly the kind of smart student that Li Ma Ma admires the most, someone who can understand things very quickly.

In the afternoon, Qingyin bid farewell to Nanny Li, who admired her very much.

Start enjoying your spare time again.

After leaving Yunjin Pavilion, Nanny Li went straight to Mrs. Lin's Cuiyunxuan and told her all the progress of Qingyin's studies today.

"She actually has such a thing?" Mrs. Lin looked at the serious Nanny Li in the audience in surprise, with doubt in her eyes.

With a serious face, Nanny Li knew very well what Madam Lin was thinking. Her face darkened. Madam Lin's suspicion was a slap in the face of her, the most serious etiquette nanny.

Nanny Li said coldly, "Although the young lady has never learned anything, she is smart and learns quickly, and I have been watching her all the time."

The subtext is that she can't possibly lie.

Mrs. Lin was unhappy. Wasn't it surprising that her eldest daughter grew up in the countryside and hadn't learned any rules in the past ten years?

However, Mrs. Lin was still happy in her heart because Nanny Li sincerely praised her eldest daughter who came out of her mother's belly.

Therefore, Mrs. Lin asked Nanny Li: "In Nanny Li's opinion, how long will it take for my eldest daughter to learn well?"

Madam Li thought for a moment before answering, "Given your intelligence, a week should be enough."

Madam Lin nodded. "Well, Madam Li, just teach that girl to learn etiquette well. The sooner the better. If there is anything missing, just come and tell me."

Nanny Li nodded.

She would naturally agree to matters of etiquette, not to mention that Qingyin was a rare good student.

After waiting for Nanny Li to leave, Mrs. Lin looked at the things on the table. She felt that since her eldest daughter had returned and was doing well in her studies, she should still give her some encouragement.

After thinking about it, Madam Lin waved her hand and asked Bihe, one of her confidants, to come over. "Bihe, look, haven't you sent a few more pieces of silk brocade from the south? Pick two good ones and send them to Yunjin Pavilion, saying that they are for Qingqing to make clothes."

"Yes, ma'am." Bihe replied respectfully, bowed and knelt before turning and leaving.

Here, Qingyin didn't know that because of her terrifying learning speed, her indifferent mother gave her a satisfactory gift.

She leaned leisurely on the bed, flipping through the storybook in her hand, enjoying Xianglian's massage and Lily's grape feeding, feeling extremely comfortable.

Outside, there was a knock on the door.

"Miss, someone is coming from the Madam's place." Dai Gui's flattering voice came.

Qingyin said slowly: "Xianglian, go outside and take a look."

"Yes, miss." Xiang Lian answered obediently and walked out of the room.

The noise in Qingyin's ears disappeared.

After a long while, Xiang Lian walked in happily.

"Miss! Madam has come to give you a gift. It's a silk brocade sent from the south. I heard that the nobles in the palace are using it. This cloth is cool and soft. It's perfect to wear when the weather gets hot." Xiang Lian said happily.

Qingyin nodded, "That's right, Xianglian will use the latest styles to make some clothes later."

"Yes, ma'am."

Xiang Lian came happily with the cloth and left happily with the cloth.

In half a month, this thin body has gradually evolved towards the top appearance in this small world.

So much so that at the beginning, Nanny Li, who simply liked the eldest daughter of the Lin family because she was a good student, now has more respect for her on the basis of liking her.

No one understood the meaning of Miss Lin's stunning appearance better than her, the nanny from the palace.

Nanny Li looked at Qingyin respectfully. Seeing Qingyin perfectly demonstrating the sitting posture and etiquette, Nanny Li bowed her head and said respectfully, "The eldest lady has learned everything. Nanny has nothing to teach her. I will take my leave with Madam today."

"Thank you, Ma'am." Qingyin nodded politely.

"My dear young lady, you have embarrassed me."

Nanny Li said hurriedly, with admiration in her eyes.

Who knows? The Lin family actually has such a woman. Even though this woman... is said to be a widow, as long as she has this appearance, if the Lin family treats her well, her future will not be bad.

Nanny Li sighed deeply, turned around and left Yunjin Pavilion.

After Nanny Li left and there were no outsiders in the room, Xianglian and Baihe could no longer suppress their joy.

"Hahaha, Miss is really great. She learned etiquette in no time!" Xiang Lian smiled with curved eyebrows.

Qingyin poked her forehead and said, "It's just learning etiquette, but you're so happy about it. What's so great about that?"

Xiang Lian pouted, "I'm not saying that. Nanny Li is a nanny from the palace. She said that the young lady is the fastest learner she has ever seen. Why can't we praise her? The young lady is very smart, right, Lily?"

Lily nodded deeply. In her heart, there was no woman in the world smarter than her own stunning young lady!

Looking at the two people responding to each other, Qingyin pinched the fair and tender faces of the two maids in annoyance.

"Okay, stop praising me. Your lady knows her own weight."

—

Here, Qingyin was playing with her maids. Nanny Li, who had just left Yunjin Pavilion, happened to run into Madam Lin, who was preparing to discuss her eldest daughter's marriage with Lord Lin in the East Courtyard. She reported that Qingyin had already completed the etiquette and there was no need to hire an etiquette nanny, and then she left.

Hearing Nanny Li praising Qingyin, Father Lin put down the hot tea in his hand and relaxed his brows. As for Nanny Li's words that her eldest daughter was extremely beautiful, he thought that Nanny Li was exaggerating for his sake.

Obviously, Mrs. Lin felt the same way. She had seen her eldest daughter before. She was pretty but not stunning.

Mrs. Lin secretly belittled Nanny Li's "flattering look" and pretended to sigh with a sad look on her face.

This breath attracted the attention of Lin's father.

He looked at his wife beside him and said, "Madam, since Qingqing has learned the etiquette well, why do you still look so sad?"

Madam Lin frowned slightly and said with a wry smile, "Master, it's still Qingqing's business."

"Qingqing... Even if she learns etiquette well, Qingqing's age and previous status make it difficult for the nobles and ladies in the capital to be attracted to Qingqing. What will happen to Qingqing's marriage in the future?"

He was so busy that he actually forgot that his eldest daughter Qingqing was already quite old, not to mention her identity as a widow. Although no one else knew about it before he came to the capital, anyone could find out if they wanted to.

From this perspective, it is impossible for a famous and powerful family in the capital to be interested in Lin Qingqing, the eldest daughter. However, Lin's father was unwilling to marry his eldest daughter to a family as a concubine.

Father Lin frowned and stroked his beautiful beard: "It is indeed not easy to find a marriage for Qingqing. Madam is thoughtful."

Father Lin thought about it for a while.

Since the children of the powerful and wealthy are not suitable, then... this noble and famous child from a poor family may not be suitable.

Father Lin was going to look at his more promising students. With a few faces already in his mind, Father Lin calmly comforted Mrs. Lin beside him and said with a smile:

"Madam, don't worry. It's really impossible for Qingqing to find a good one, but she can still find a poor one. Some of my students from poor families may be able to pass the exam this year. Madam, why don't you take a look among them?"

Madam Lin frowned, "Master, are you talking about Xiao Shen and Xiao Ping? They... are also possible."

Although her status was much lower, Lin's mother suddenly felt that they were a good match when she thought of her eldest daughter's widow status.

Father Lin nodded.

"In that case, then can we ask the master to be the matchmaker for Qingqing's marriage?"

Father Lin: "Of course, Qingqing is also my and my wife's daughter."

……

Qingyin didn't know that she hadn't enjoyed her life as a stay-at-home girl in the yard enough, but she had already been engaged to a poor man by Lin's father and mother in a few words.

—

The morning glow.

Several young men, some handsome, some ordinary in long robes, gathered together, looking at the faces of the people around them with different expressions, thinking about the teacher's purpose.

Lin Zerui, who specially called a group of students in, stroked his smooth beard, looked at the handsome students with puzzled eyes, smiled and said, "Well, I am here for this year's autumn examination. Are you guys prepared this year?"

After hearing the teacher's words, several people fell silent.

The first person to speak was a student with the simplest clothes and handsome face. He was one of the students that Lin Zerui favored, Chen Anping. In terms of family background, he was the poorest among Lin Zerui's students. He had only a widowed mother who supported his studies. He came from a poor family, but he was serious and hardworking in his studies. Although he lacked spirituality in writing, he was good at being orthodox, steady and not prone to mistakes. He was also one of the eldest sons-in-law that Lin Zerui favored.

Chen Anping stepped forward, his handsome face full of seriousness: "Students are well prepared this year and will definitely live up to the teacher's expectations."

Lin Zerui listened, a smile appeared in his eyes, and he nodded slightly.

After the honest Chen Anping spoke first, others also began to talk about their own situations.

Lin Zerui commented and praised one by one, and then talked about some things to pay attention to in the autumn examination. Lin Zerui also talked about the purpose of his visit today.

Looking at the well-dressed students, Lin Zerui smiled and said, "You guys have a good idea of what to expect in the exam, so I won't go into details with you. However, since this person wants to pass the exam, the family must be well-prepared. Chen Xing, An Ping, if you guys have someone you like, as your teacher, I can help you choose a good wife for you. The backyard is also a worry that officials must solve, so you must keep it in mind."

The honest and handsome young man's face flushed when his name was mentioned.

The other students were much calmer, but after all, they mentioned their private affairs in front of the teacher, and their ears turned red.

"Teacher, I don't have it." Chen Anping said stutteringly.

In contrast to the nervous Chen Anping, except for a few students who had already married and one who already had a fiancée, the others also responded generously that they did not have a wife yet.
