The sickly son died young? After the marriage exchange, I will bring prosperity to his entire clan f

Cheng Jinyun was surprised that Du Mingxian would speak so bluntly, showing them no respect whatsoever. She immediately became angry, "Cousin Huan'er, Xiaoduo is a bit outspoken, but we're all family, you don't need to talk to her like that."

Du Mingxian gave a forced smile, "Didn't you all come here today to learn the rules? If not, then pretend I didn't say anything."

Cheng Jinyun was furious and didn't know what to say. They had come here to learn the rules, of course.

Cheng Jinduo was young and spoiled, so she was immediately unhappy when Du Mingxian said that. "Sister, look at her..."

"Shut up." Cheng Jinyun snapped, turning her face away without even looking at her younger sister.

At this moment, a servant from beside the old lady came out and said, "Miss Jinyun, Miss Jinduo, you will stay in the east wing for the next few days. This old servant will tidy up your things. The old lady is already waiting for you to go in."

"Thank you," Cheng Jinyun said politely, but Cheng Jinduo, with an air of superiority, turned and left.

Inside the house, Madam Wen was already sitting in the main seat waiting. When she saw the three of them come in, she smiled and said, "You're all here! Come in and sit down. What's wrong with Xiao Duo? She doesn't look happy."

"Great-aunt, it's all because of the countryside..."

"Xiao Duo." Cheng Jinyun scolded, and Cheng Jinduo immediately shut up. She simply sat down to the side without saying a word and sulked.

Madam Wen had already noticed the subtle tension between the group. "She's still a child. You two should sit down too. The nanny has already sent someone to inquire, so we should be able to start soon."

"Yes," Du Mingxian and Cheng Jinyun replied in unison.

The group chatted awkwardly. The courtyard that had been cleared out for the nanny was right next door. Soon, word came that the young ladies could go over, and Old Madam Wen personally led a few people there.

Upon entering the courtyard, Du Mingxian saw the nanny who had been invited, and she was somewhat excited, as it was the same nanny she had hired in her previous life.

Seeing someone from two generations ago, it was hard to calm my emotions.

Granny Gui remained respectful in front of Old Madam Wen, asking, "Why did you come here personally, Old Madam?"

"Bring them over and let me tell you about them." Madam Wen first pointed to Cheng Jinyun, "This is my maternal grandniece, the eldest daughter of the Cheng family, and that is the younger Cheng family's legitimate second daughter."

Finally, she pointed to Du Mingxian and said, "This is my granddaughter who was raised outside since she was a child. She has only just returned, and there are many things I haven't had time to teach her. Now I'll have to trouble Granny Gui to take care of her."

"Madam, you flatter me. I came here to teach the young ladies manners; I have nothing to worry about." Granny Gui said, slightly puzzled, "Didn't you say there were four young ladies? Where is the fourth one?"

"I've already sent someone to inquire about Shiyan. You can start now, nanny. Punish her as appropriate, don't be lenient."

"Yes."

The handover between the two was then complete. Madam Wen immediately got up and left, and Granny Gui began her first lecture.

"These young ladies are all delicate and precious. I used to serve people in the palace...blah blah blah."

As Du Mingxian listened to these words, she felt as if she were in another world. Suddenly, she couldn't tell whether she was in the Wu residence or the Wen residence. The words that Granny Gui was saying now were the same words she had said before.

She had been lost in thought, and when she came to her senses, she heard Granny Gui praising her.

"The eldest young lady did very well, she got it in one go. Miss Cheng, the second young lady needs to put in more effort."

Du Mingxian snapped out of her reverie and saw Cheng Jinyun and the other person. Only then did she regain her composure. Now she was at the Wen residence, she had been reborn, and she had no more connection with the Wu family. She no longer had to worry or toil.

Everyone started studying. Wen Shiyan arrived late, looking very unhappy, which showed that Madam Wen had forcibly brought her over.

Wen Shiyan was already unhappy, and when she arrived, she found that Du Mingxian was learning things quickly and well, and was even praised by Granny Gui. She was extremely unhappy, and the more she thought about it, the more mistakes she made.

Throughout the morning, Du Mingxian only learned two simple walking and sitting postures, because she had already learned them before, and she also knew Granny Gui's temper, plus her past life.

Given her background and the circumstances of the Wu family at the time, she worked incredibly hard to learn in order not to be ridiculed. Every step, every movement, she could perfect as she pleased, as if she were measuring it with a ruler.

Miss Cheng fared slightly better, having a chance to catch her breath. As for Miss Cheng the Second, because of her young age, although the nanny had requirements, she wouldn't be too harsh on her in areas where she couldn't meet them.

Only Wen Shiyan, who had reached the age for marriage, was specially invited by Old Madam Wen to be cared for by Granny Gui. Granny Gui was particularly attentive to her, and she was constantly tormented by her all morning.

Seeing how she was being tortured reminded Du Mingxian of the past.

When I first started learning, I was not as good as Wen Shiyan.

Wen Shiyan grew up in the Wen family and had some basic skills, so she could learn quickly with a little guidance. But Du Mingxian was different; she knew nothing and had to start learning halfway through, so the difficulty was unimaginable.

She relearned everything, from walking and sitting posture to speaking speed, eating, chewing, drinking, and all other behavioral habits.

If you don't learn to the point of complete transformation, you'll still be laughed at.

She studied very hard at the time, and it was especially difficult. She finally managed to host a banquet for the official's wife, which gave the general's mansion a foothold in the capital. Then, Wu Daniu brought the child back from outside.

Thinking of this, Du Mingxian pinched herself hard, reminding herself not to dwell on unpleasant things from the past, and that appreciating the present was the best thing to do.

She sat there watching Wen Shiyan suffer, and she was quite happy.

After finishing their morning practice, the food was served, and they continued practicing. However, both the Wen and Cheng families had their own table manners when it came to eating, and the young ladies didn't have any major problems with these.

However, being lectured about eating eventually made everyone lose their appetite, and no one was full.

It wasn't until evening that Du Mingxian left early because of her good performance, while Cheng Jinyun and Cheng Jinduo also returned to Madam Wen's courtyard early. Only Wen Shiyan was still practicing miserably.

In the end, Madam Wen was worried that if she practiced too much today, Wen Shiyan wouldn't come tomorrow even if she tried to coerce or bribe her, so she quickly told Granny Gui to stop.

For dinner, Madam Wen invited Granny Gui over to eat with her. After the meal, the two sat together and drank tea.

Only then did Madam Wen have a chance to ask, "How did the children behave today? Huan'er just got back, thank you for your help, Granny Gui."

Although they didn't know what was happening in the courtyard, they heard the nanny giving a stern reprimand. The others had all grown up in the mansion and knew some of the rules, but Huan'er knew nothing. She was probably the one the nanny scolded the most today.
