After traveling through time, I was raised by a little brat

Chapter 6: Don't Forget Your Homework

Due to the fall and hand injury, Tang Wenshu had to rest for two weeks. During this time, she was unable to attend classes at the clan school, and no one could help her copy her homework.

The Tang family's mansion operated its own clan school, which not only taught men literary and martial arts but also offered courses in arts like qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting to women. Students were all from the Tang clan, including members of the main branch, branches, and children of relatives. Even Tang Jili and Tang Jiyi, the eldest and second uncles of the Tang family, had made many friends in official circles. Having heard of the excellent teaching quality of the clan school, they expressed a desire to send their children there.

The saying "A woman's virtue lies in her lack of talent" doesn't necessarily devalue women's abilities; rather, it emphasizes that even if a woman lacks talent, as long as she possesses good moral character, she can still be considered beautiful. While the Tang Duke's mansion viewed women as tools for marriage, it also prioritized cultivating their talents and intelligence to attract men.

If a woman possesses beauty but lacks wisdom, she is likely to bring endless trouble and distress to the entire family. This is vividly exemplified by Tang Wenshu's aunt, Tang Ni, a living example of a negative example. Tang Ni, having successfully married the number one scholar, was chosen through a ranking list. However, due to her foolishness and ignorance, she constantly caused trouble at the scholar's residence, ultimately alienating the Duke's and the number one scholar's family. Even worse, the Duke's family was forced to expel this troublemaker from the clan. Therefore, the Duke's family attached great importance to the education of their women, fully aware of the importance of an intelligent and wise woman to the family.

Thinking of this, Tang Wenshu couldn't help feeling annoyed.

At this moment, Shumo, the teacher's maid, stood outside the door respectfully and asked, "Miss Wenshu, it's time to go to school. The teacher only gave you a ten-day vacation, which has long expired. Now you need to catch up on your lessons."

Shumo has a high status in the academy because she is the maid of the female student Mr. Xiu. In addition, she is usually responsible for collecting students' homework, so the students respect her very much.

Hearing her words, Tang Wenshu felt like her head was about to explode. She'd already traveled through time, and yet she still had to study? And as a young lady, she even had to do homework? How could this be possible?

Tang Wenshu couldn't help but yell, "Mei Shuang! Mei Xiang! Someone come quickly!" "Here they are!" Two maids hurried over. "Quickly welcome Sister Shu Mo in!" Tang Wenshu hurriedly ordered. "Hello, Sister Shu Mo!" The two maids said in unison.

Tang Wenshu lay on the bed and said weakly, "Sister Shumo, I'm sorry that it's not convenient for me to greet you in this state." "It's okay, miss, don't worry about it." Shumo replied with a smile.

Then she handed a thick stack of papers to Meixiang and bowed to Tang Wenshu. "Miss, these are your homework and assignments. I'll be leaving now." With that, she bowed and turned to leave. Watching Shumo's back as he left, Tang Wenshu groaned inwardly. How was she going to finish all this homework? It looked like the days ahead were going to be tough...

After Shumo left, Tang Wenshu jumped out of bed. Meishuang hurried to clean up the footprints Tang Wenshu had left, having jumped onto the bed without taking off his shoes. Tang Wenshu came to the table, unfolded the papers, and looked at the columns of homework and assignments. His vision went dark, and he almost fell to the ground. Meixiang held him tightly.

"Miss, Miss, what's wrong with you?" Meixiang looked at Tang Wenshu trembling with fear, "Sister Meishuang, what's wrong with you?" In the past half month, Tang Wenshu was still the same as usual to them, or even better, but she did some unusual things from time to time. They speculated that it was the sequelae of falling into the water. Now Tang Wenshu looked like she was about to faint, which scared her.

"It's okay, it's okay." Mei Shuang poured Tang Wenshu a cup of tea and helped her calm down. She learned all these recently when she went to Rong Ma's house. Because Zeng Yuan couldn't leave her, she asked Mei Shuang to teach her often.

After this period of instruction, Mei Shuang has made some progress, at least in taking care of Tang Wenshu.

Tang Wenshu was very pleased to see this. She took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, but the next moment she was choked by the tea. After catching her breath, Tang Wenshu couldn't help complaining, "Oh my God! So much homework is going to kill me." She slammed the table, but accidentally hurt herself. She quickly blew on her palms, a painful expression on her face.

Mei Shuang, who was standing by, saw this and exchanged a glance with Mei Xiang, as if to say, "See, she's fine." But then her expression changed again, as if to think, "Young lady, this foolishness is becoming more and more obvious."

"Miss, don't worry, we will cheer you on." Meixiang comforted.

"Yes, miss, don't worry, we will not let you get too tired. We will prepare food and snacks, and also give you a massage." Mei Shuang also echoed.

Tang Wenshu looked at the two maids with gratitude, and her heart was warm. She knew that she was not fighting alone, and with their company and help, she would definitely be able to get through this difficult time.

At this moment, a cheerful shout came from outside: "Sister, sister, I'm back."

Tang Zhengrong's voice echoed from the distance, followed closely by Tang Qi. Tang Qi's pace seemed leisurely, but it wasn't much slower than the sprinting Tang Zhengrong. Hearing the voice, Tang Wenshu's eyes flickered, a sly smile playing. "Brother, brother, my dear brothers, please come and save me!" She quickly split the stack of papers in half, handing each to Tang Zhengrong and Tang Qi.

Tang Qi took the paper and read it carefully. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "We will help you with your studies in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and the arts of culture and martial arts. I'll help you copy the cultural homework, and I'll let my second brother help you with the painting. As for needlework, you can ask Aunt Rong for guidance. Her embroidery skills were top-notch in her youth. I heard that she used to support her family by doing double-sided embroidery."

"Okay, okay." Tang Wenshu nodded quickly, a delighted smile on her face, secretly rejoicing in her heart. As long as her two brothers could help her solve most of the problems, the rest would no longer be a problem. As for embroidery, she was full of confidence. After all, in her previous life, she had experience with cross-stitch and was no stranger to embroidery.

Tang Wenshu thought to herself, "It's just a few clouds! This is a piece of cake for me!" She couldn't help but chuckle at the thought. However, reality often differs from her imagination. Despite her confidence, Tang Wenshu discovered that things weren't as simple as they seemed when she actually started. After three days of effort, she only managed to embroider something that looked like white poop.

Although the result wasn't entirely satisfactory, Tang Wenshu still tried to comfort herself, saying, "Anyway, it's finally finished. So what if it doesn't look great?" She shook her head helplessly and smiled self-deprecatingly. After all, no one cared about the quality of her embroidery, so she could only rely on herself to comfort herself.
