Chapter 5 Negotiating with Granny Chun
After hearing Yufei greet her, Granny Chun gave her a standard ancient greeting and then pointed out the danger of Yufei's actions, noting that they were inconsistent with the behavior of a noblewoman.
He also told her that he would raise her to be a gentle, virtuous, and elegant young lady from a distinguished family.
Yufei's head was spinning from listening, but she forced herself to speak to Granny Chun'e.
“Granny Chun, thank you for your kindness, but our times are different now. Women hold up half the sky, so there’s no need to learn those cumbersome formalities. In our current terms, we need to keep up with the times,” Yufei said earnestly to Granny Chun.
Chun'e looked at Yufei's serious little face, and a hint of a smile flashed in her eyes.
"Does the young master think that the etiquette we learn is rigid and boring?"
For some reason, Yufei recalled the scene in "Princess Pearl" that she had watched in her previous life where Xiaoyanzi was learning manners, as well as the women in those palace dramas who adhered to the rules. Yufei thought, isn't that right?
Yufei looked at Granny Chun with a puzzled expression.
"It seems that Miss has some misunderstanding about etiquette. Etiquette mainly concerns posture, table manners, and interpersonal skills. Learning these will only make Miss more witty."
"After my girlfriends come out, learning from them will make you even more cultured~" Granny Chun said with a gentle smile as she mentioned her girlfriends.
Yufei's eyes also lit up. In her past life, she had suffered a lot in this regard, and she always seemed particularly petty and timid when facing her boss or even her ex-boyfriend's mother.
She still can't forget the look of disdain that lady gave her.
Yufei was slightly downcast for a moment, then broke into a big smile and said...
"Then I'll leave Granny Chun in your care from now on. Just punish me whenever I slack off."
"Just leave it to us, and we'll make you the most outstanding young lady," Granny Chun said confidently, looking at the baby who looked at her with such trust.
There's no time like the present, so Liu Yufei and Granny Chun agreed on the etiquette and manners, and Granny Chun began to teach them.
Because Liu Yufei is still young and her bones are still flexible, posture management won't be too strict at this age. It will officially begin after she turns 5.
Currently, apart from table manners, everything else exists only in theoretical knowledge.
After learning the theoretical knowledge, they began simulated training in receiving and interacting with customers.
Over the past three years, Liu Yufei has discovered that time in the space is different from that outside; one hour outside is equivalent to one day in the space.
Because of Liu Yufei's plan, her grandparents are now much more at ease with her, and they've locked her in her room before going out to work.
Therefore, Liu Yufei had ample time to stay in the space and learn from Granny Chun.
Over the past three years, Liu Yufei has consumed a considerable amount of the spiritual spring water from her spatial dimension, resulting in a much stronger body than in her previous life. She used to be frequently hospitalized due to colds and fevers, but now she hasn't been sick once in three years. Her grandparents have also consumed a lot of the spring water along with her, and their gray hair has even begun to turn black again.
However, the spiritual spring doesn't seem to have a significant effect on mental strength. Liu Yufei's memory is about the same as in her previous life, well... maybe it's a little stronger?
She had just finished listening to the theoretical knowledge taught by Granny Chun, and then forgot it already.
Liu Yufei wondered if Granny Chun was secretly thinking she was the worst student she had ever taught.
She suddenly understood how some of her less-than-stellar students looked at her in her past life.
She nervously twisted her fingers, head bowed, and asked Granny Chun if she could write down the theoretical knowledge, as she couldn't remember it all at once T^T
Granny Chun also noticed that Liu Yufei was staring at her with pleading eyes, and she knew that she really couldn't rush things.
So he asked Liu Yufei to wait a moment and then left.
While waiting for Granny Chun, Liu Yufei went to the field she had cultivated and picked a basket of chili peppers. Ah, that's so relaxing!
Looking at the basket full of chili peppers, Liu Yufei thought, "This is great for relieving stress, but what am I going to do with all this chili peppers?"
Liu Yufei thought for a moment and went to the kitchen to get the fish scooping basket.
She walked through a golden wheat field to the fishpond. Yes, it was May, the busy farming season, and people were still in the fields planting. Liu Yufei's rice had already been harvested this year.
This is the time advantage brought about by space, and through spatial improvements, Yufei's rice yield per mu has now reached the level of Grandpa Yuan Longping's hybrid rice.
Each ear of rice was heavy with grains. Yufei had eaten the rice from the previous harvests, and its sweetness was almost comparable to that of Thai fragrant rice.
This time, Yufei's planting is expected to be even better, but because Yufei is small and has limited energy, she only planted one acre, and even that one acre took her a long time to complete.
If anyone were to see it, they would notice that the land is a gradient of color, changing from blue to green.
(Xiao Yufei, enraged, reached out and groped the author)
The fishpond in the space had been beautifully decorated by Yufei. Lotus flowers bloomed in the pond, and a crucian carp leaped out of the water, opened its mouth wide, swallowed the lotus seeds from the drooping lotus flowers, flicked its tail, and swam away.
This scene kept repeating itself in the pond. The streamlined lines left by the fish as they swung through the air, their dark sheen telling even those who knew nothing about fish that they must be delicious, with firm and flavorful flesh.
Yufei had seen this scenario many times before, so she calmly grabbed her fishing net, swam across the pond, and caught a plump crucian carp.
She caught three fish, then some scallions, and then went to the vegetable garden to pick some cucumbers.
Back in the kitchen, while Granny Chun was away, I prepared a meal and waited for her to come and eat together.
So she started preparing the ingredients in the kitchen.
After the materials were prepared, Granny Chun also came over with a book she had prepared.
“Little Yufei, I happen to have a book in my room that I wrote when I was still…” Granny Chun started to say when, but paused, shook her head, and continued, “Let’s not talk about the past. Anyway, it was something I wrote when I was bored. You can take it.”
Liu Yufei: ...
Liu Yufei was speechless. "Grandma Chun, just tell us already! You've let her know there's a story, but you only tell half of it. Doesn't that make someone like me, who loves gossip, itchy with curiosity?"
After delivering the books, Granny Chun asked Yufei to sit and read them, while she began to cook.
"My cooking skills aren't as good as your Aunt Xia Chan's. Back then, so many high-ranking officials and nobles longed to taste your Aunt Xia Chan's cuisine, but it was priceless," Aunt Chun'e reminisced, her eyes filled with memories.
The usually stern-faced nanny had a rare, gentle smile on her face, and of course, her hands didn't stop cooking.
"Where are Granny Chun and Aunt Xia Chan?" Yufei asked expectantly. After all, Granny Chun and Aunt Xia Chan were so familiar with each other. If Granny Chun was in the space, would Aunt Xia Chan be there too?
"The time is not yet ripe," Chun'e said softly.
