The Rebirth of Han Yuxi

Chapter 40 : Guest Student (2)

After sending off Yuxi, old woman Ding turned around facing Teacher Song and couldn’t help but asked her, “Why did Ma’am promised Fourth Miss?” Even if Yuxi just sitting in during class, Teacher Song won’t be able to completely ignore Yuxi because of her responsible attitude, and it would also took a lot of energy for her to teach another child.

Teacher Song went to the window, looked at Yuxi’s back through it and slowly said, “Even if I don’t accept her, she will ask Madam Han to invite another teacher for her. Fourth Miss is not a person who can easily compromise. “

Old woman Ding became more puzzled, “If Fourth Miss wants to invite another teacher, just let her do so.” This situation had never happened before.

Teacher Song shook her head and said, “Mama Ding, there are many talented people, but very few of them are flexible, have the will to choose and have perseverance, and Fourth Miss happens to be such people. This kind of person, as long as she is given the opportunity, she will definitely not be inferior to others. “

Hearing this, old woman Ding finally understood, “Ma’am means that even if there is no intercession from Third Miss, Ma’am will still allow Fourth Miss to attend.”

Teacher Song shook her head and said, “No.” She was a little tempted before, but for Yuchen’s sake, she gave up. However, when she saw Yuxi unexpectedly invited Yuchen to intercede, rather than the Old Madam or Madam Han, she changed her mind. It was obvious from this that Fourth Miss was in fact very clever, and she knew who would do the most good. Such a person, no one knew what type of person she would become in the future.

Old woman Ding was a little confused.

Teacher Song did not elaborate either, only said, “You’ll see.” The five-year-old girl had no one taught her such a plan, and she already agreed, merely to form a good relationship with the residence.

The maids in the Rose Courtyard knew that Yuxi had become a guest student and they wondered what it really meant. At last, Moju plucked up her courage and asked, “Miss, what does guest student mean?”

Yuxi smiled and said, “It means study companion.”

Moju’s face was not good-looking. The Third Miss and her Miss were the legitimate daughters of the second house. Now her Miss was going to accompany the Third Miss in studying, which was too bad, “Miss, I think we’d better hold on.” In the future, she had to go out with low status people.

Yuxi knew what Moju was thinking and she did not say much about it. Learning real skills was the most important thing. Being laughed at would not result in her being less human.

Compared with Moju’s worries, Mama Shen was very happy when she knew about this. Even though her Miss was not admitted as an official student, it was still nice for her to have this title.

While, Old Madam Han’s attitude was very direct, that she had send some people to deliver so many good things to Yuxi.

Qiu Shi hugged Yuxi and said cheerfully, “Since you have been given this opportunity, you should study hard in the future.” Even if it was only as study companion, with this title, Yuxi’s scope of husband selections would be wider in the future.

Yuxi was somewhat embarrassed and said, “It’s just an study companion, not an official student, so Aunt doesn’t have to say it like that. Moreover, if it weren’t for the help of the Third Sister, Teacher Song wouldn’t have agreed.“ She didn’t feel that she lost her share of studying, but she didn’t show it on the surface.

Qiu Shi smiled and said, “Who in this capital does not know that Teacher Song has a very high standard. If you do not meet her standard, even if Yuchen helps you to intercede, Teacher Song will not have agreed. Yuxi, don’t belittle yourself. Not to mention your study, just looked at your needlework. I can assure you, your needlework is absolutely incomparable among your peers.“ With that, she touched Yuxi’s head and said, “Yuxi, don’t compare yourself with your Third Sister. Yuchen’s talent, let alone the capital, is unmatched by many people in the world. “

Qiu Shi felt that Yuchen’s talent was very good, but she was afraid that her brother-in-law might be bleeding in his heart. Her eldest daughter was so excellent, but none of his sons were this intelligent.

Yuxi said with a smile, “I listen to Aunt.” If she kept on comparing herself with Yuchen, that was purely seeking abuse. In the future, she would compare herself with her peers outside.

Qiu Shi nodded in relief, then with a smile, she talked to Yuxi regarding other matter, “Third Girl started moving things yesterday and it should be able to finish this afternoon. This time, the Old Madam has already said that she will built a small kitchen in Tingyun Pavilion. I think your Rose Courtyard is far away from the big kitchen and it is not convenient to get food during winter. So, I took this opportunity to build a small kitchen in your courtyard.” Generally, young misses wouldn’t have their own kitchen, but because the Old Madam especially doted on Yuchen, it became an exception. So, this time, Yuxi could borrow Yuchen’s east wind. Yuxi and Yuchen were not that different in status anyway. So, it would be difficult for the Old Madam to say anything about her getting Yuxi a small kitchen. If she missed this opportunity, the next time for her to be abled to do so would be on the year of monkey and month of horse (Chinese idiom : time that never comes).

Yuxi eyes brighten as she heard that she could have her own small kitchen. However, her eyes soon darkened as she whispered, “Aunt, will Grandmother agrees?” Having a small kitchen naturally was good. Whatever she wanted to eat during weekday could be made, which was very convenient. If she needed the main kitchen to prepare extra meal for her, she had to pay extra.

Qiu Shi smiled and said, “Yuchen’s small kitchen budget is not coming from public accounts, but from private savings. As long as your kitchen budget also comes from private savings, the Old Madam has no reason to disagree. “

Yuxi said happily, “Thank you, Aunt.” With her own little kitchen, it would also be convenient for her to start learning to cook.

Qiu Shi touched Yuxi’s head and said softly, “There’s nothing to be thankful about. It’s just a small thing.”

Yuxi, however, did not feel that she should accept it calmly and said, “Aunt, in the residence, only Aunt will think about everything for me.”

Qiu Shi patted Yuxi on the back and said, “Later on, don’t say thank you again. It will be too much for you!” She had already regarded Yuxi like her own daughter, so, it was natural for her to think about everything for her.

Yuxi embraced Qiu Shi and snuggled in her arms. She then whispered, “Okay.”

Since Yuxi had to pay for the kitchen herself, she felt that although her income was enough to support the kitchen’s expenses, she was not at ease as she would not had any money in her hand left.

So, after being shelved for a long time, the production of scar-removing ointment was put on the agenda. She had already got two packets of pearl powder from Qiu Shi, and now she only needed to boil them.

To boil the scar-removing ointment, although the amount was small, it was impossible to hide it from the public. Yuxi simply told Mama Shen, Moju and several trusted maids about this matter. Of course, she said she was boiling face ointment, not scar-removing ointment.

Face ointment, by its very name, was the stuff you put on your face.

Mama Shen hastily said, “Miss, this paste can’t be used casually and you’re also young and delicate, so you don’t need these things.“ This face ointment would be applied on the face. How could she not know the important of her Miss’ face? How could one casually apply a face ointment that one did not know what to expect? In case of any mistake, one whole life would be ruined.

Yuxi smiled and said, “I read about it in a book and thought it was interesting, so I wanted to give it a try. Mama, rest assure, even if it is boiled, I will not use on myself.”

Mama Shen asked suspiciously, “Where did Miss see the prescription?”

Yuxi said, “In a book I bought from the academy.” After a pause, she looked at Mama Shen and said, “This is only a small matter. I hope Mama Shen will not tell anyone.”

Mama Shen knew that Yuxi had a good idea. Since Yuxi already said that, it was useless for her to persuade anymore. Although she felt that Yuxi was behaving foolishly, she didn’t think it was a big deal either. It was not unusual for a young miss from a large family to make rouge or spice herself. However, she also asked, “Miss must assure this old servant that even if the ointment is boiled, it cannot be applied to your own face.”

Yuxi smiled and said, “Mama, rest assure, I won’t personally use it.”

When Yuxi boiled the ointment, she did not fake it but made it herself. Then the boiled ointment was poured into a vessel and left in a dark room.
