The Heavens Begin with Dream of the Red Chamber

Chapter 72: A True and Good Wife

Let’s not talk about how Mr. Zhan played chess with his two sisters in the pavilion, let’s talk about Baochai.

As soon as Tanchun came in, Baochai came up to her with a smile, took her hand, led her to sit down beside the bed, and said with a smile:
"I have some good news for you. Yesterday my mother consulted with my uncle and my second aunt and has already obtained their approval. They agree that you can become my mother's godparents."

Tanchun had known this from Aunt Zhao a long time ago. Because of this, she was mentally polluted by Aunt Zhao again last night and was indoctrinated with countless methods and techniques of "seducing the master".

While Tanchun was scolding her aunt for not being careful with her words and actions, she kept all her words in her heart.

But when she heard these words from Baochai, she seemed to have just heard the good news. She made a surprised expression and shouted happily:
"That would be great!"

"In addition to my wife, I will have another mother in the future, and I will enjoy double the love."

Baochai then smiled and joked:

"But you now have an older sister to look after you. It's hard to say whether this is a loss or a gain!"

After hearing this, Tanchun also smiled and took Baochai's hand, saying coquettishly:
"Sister, you are not controlling me, you are teaching me, all for my own good. How could I not appreciate your kindness?"

Baochai followed her lead and said:

"It's great that you can understand this. If I say something wrong in the future, I will bear the consequences."

Tanchun quickly raised her hands and swore to the sky.

"Sister, what do you mean by taking responsibility? If I do something wrong in the future, I will scold you or beat you. If I dare to say a word back, I will be considered a heartless person who doesn't know what's good for me!"

Baochai quickly pressed her hand down and said angrily:

"Why are you making such a random oath?"

"We are sisters, why can't I trust you?"

Once the two sisters talked it out, their relationship blossomed immediately, as if they were real family members, not at all plastic.

The two girls held hands and sat side by side on the bed, chattering for a long time. Their feelings grew stronger, and Baochai put her lips close to Tanchun's ear and whispered:
"Anyway, my sister will marry the master sooner or later. Today I will teach you how to win the master's heart."

Tanchun thought that Baochai was going to talk about the things that Aunt Zhao had taught her, and her face turned red.

She did not want to rebuke Baochai as she had rebuked Aunt Zhao, so she just evaded the question by saying:
"Sister is in good health now, maybe she can prepare all the medicines in the future, why do you need me to learn all this now?"

"Sister, you should take care of your health. It would be best if you can get married smoothly without any illness or disaster. Only then will I be truly happy."

Baochai saw that Tanchun was full of shyness and immediately knew what she was thinking. She stretched out her hand to twist her waist and said teasingly:
"What are you thinking about, little girl?"

"Do you think I want to teach you about sex?"

"Not to mention that it's not appropriate for me to teach you this kind of thing. Even if I really teach you, it can only be used after marriage. Are you planning to take advantage of Brother Zhan before marriage?"

"What I want to teach you is how to capture a man's heart and make him fall deeply in love with you and want you alone!"

"This is the behavior of a proper wife, not the behavior of a foxy woman!"

When Tanchun heard this, her heart was immediately moved. She ignored the pain in her waist and hurriedly grabbed Baochai's hand, smiling and saying:

"Just now I was confused and misinterpreted what I said. I hope you won't blame me."

Baochai smiled and said:
"It is said that people think before they speak. Since you have misinterpreted these nice words, it is obvious that you have thought about these things privately. Why don't you tell the truth quickly? Who was the man in your mind when you thought about that? Was it Brother Zhan?"

Tanchun blushed immediately and begged for mercy:
"Good sister, please forgive me. I just said the wrong thing. I have never thought about these shameful things!"

Baochai refused to let her go and kept asking:
"Could it be Brother Zhan?"

"That's Master Lian!"

“No?”

"Is that Rong Ge'er?"

"Not yet?"

"Oh my god, could it be... Baoyu?"

Tanchun was shy at first, but as Baochai mentioned more and more names, she gradually became flustered. Seeing that the names Baochai said were becoming more and more outrageous, she was afraid that she would say something scary again, so she interrupted her hastily and said randomly:
"It's Brother Zhan!"

"It's just that I was embarrassed in front of my sister, so I refused to admit it just now."

Baochai then let her go and said with a smile:
"It's human nature for men to be lustful and women to be attracted to women. Nothing has really happened, so what can you do about it?"

Tanchun was afraid that she would continue to talk about this topic, so she quickly changed the subject:
"Sister said before that she would teach me how to make pie. I can't help but want to know. Please tell me in detail."

Baochai then said seriously:

"If you want to be a qualified legitimate wife, the first thing you need to understand is not how to manage the household, which is just a small trick. The key is to understand the rules of this world."

"In today's world, men are superior to women, men are above and women are below, men are responsible for the outside world and women are responsible for the inside world, men are officials or businessmen outside, and women stay at home to take care of their husbands and children..."

"Everything and every one of these is the rules."

"If you understand the rules and follow them, you won't make mistakes."

"But if you think you are talented and capable, disregard the rules, and think you can go beyond the rules, you may gain temporary benefits, but over time, you will inevitably suffer the backlash of the rules. Once you encounter problems, it is very likely that everything will fall apart and collapse completely."

"So if you want to be a good wife, you must know as many rules as possible, whether they are obvious or hidden, and whether they can be spoken or unspoken... all kinds of rules."

"The more rules you know, the easier it will be for others to accept you."

"It's the same whether you're a person or a housekeeper."

"Similarly, the more you conform to the rules of the world, the more you will conform to men's aesthetics, and the more men will like you."

"So, you don't need to please men at all. As long as you turn yourself into the most beautiful woman in the world, which man would not like you?"

Tanchun carefully savored Baochai's words, and then combined Baochai's own behavior with the actual situation, and seemed to have some understanding in her mind.

No wonder Sister Bao has always been highly praised in the mansion. Everyone only praises her and no one scolds her.

Hmm...it doesn't seem entirely right. At least Miss Lin didn't like her before.

But Miss Lin doesn't like anyone except Brother Bao.

Seeing that Tanchun began to believe it, Baochai continued:

"Sister, you are sometimes too aggressive. Everyone knows that you are strong-willed, smart and capable. This is good at home, but it is not in line with the rules of the world."

"In the eyes of men, women should be as stipulated in the "Female Training" and "Female Instructions", with weakness as beauty and strict adherence to women's virtues, women's words, women's appearance, and women's work."

After hearing this, Tanchun couldn't help but frown. She had also learned this nonsense and looked down upon the content.

When Baochai saw this, she smiled and said:

"I know you don't agree, but these rules are not set by a single family, but written down by the ancient sages and passed down to future generations. Women all over the world must abide by them."

"You may not agree with these things in your heart, but you cannot show it on your face. You have to pretend to agree with them and make your behavior consistent with them, otherwise people will inevitably gossip about you."

"Of course, these words are official documents, and they are meant for outsiders to hear."

"We are sisters. I am telling you this in private, not because I want you to follow the instructions in the book."

"If that's the case, what's the point of living?"

"The woman who wrote the book turned her life into a wooden sculpture or clay statue. Not only did she suffer all her life, but she also wanted all future women to suffer like her."

"She is not happy herself, and she doesn't want others to live happily either. She is clearly trying to take revenge on society. She has bad intentions and should be dragged out and beaten to death."

Tanchun found what Baochai said interesting and burst out laughing. Most of her worries were gone and she concentrated her attention to continue listening to Baochai's explanation of how to fool outsiders.

"What I'm going to tell you today is how to take advantage of the rules. First, you have to know what the rules are, and then you can find ways to exploit the loopholes in the rules."

"The rules for women are clearly written in those women's books. Please study them carefully when you return home. Then we can talk about how to find content that is beneficial to you in the debate."

"Here we are only talking about some simple and easy-to-implement, specific methods that are likely to be effective."

“No one can please everyone. There are always things that are not done well and that make others dislike you.”

"But other people's perception of you is actually a whole, the sum of their good and bad feelings towards you offsetting each other."

"As long as you make the good impressions far greater than the bad impressions, then others will naturally like you."

"To put it bluntly, it's just a trick to fool people."

"Everyone has weaknesses. If you discover other people's weaknesses and try to please them in a targeted way, you will get twice the result with half the effort and it will be the easiest way to gain other people's favor. Even if you do something wrong, others will unconsciously ignore their bad feelings and even find reasons or excuses for you."

"Take Brother Zhan for example, his biggest weakness is lust!"

"So after the engagement, I took the initiative and gave Sister Xiangling to him as a concubine, and immediately won his favor."

"Later, I found out that he was interested in my personal maid Ying'er, so I gave Ying'er to Sister Xiangling as a dowry."

"Later, Brother Zhan took a concubine. It was actually me who instigated it!"

"I told Brother Zhan that if he took Second Sister You as his concubine, he could become related to the Ningguo Mansion by marriage and establish a good relationship, which would be very beneficial to the Zhan family's business."

"The same goes for Aunt Xing."

"It was only after I asked my mother to give Second Aunt the suggestion that Second Aunt decided to send her maids. If you don't believe me, you can go and find out whether what I said is true or not."

"Tell me, if you were a man and had such a 'virtuous wife' who cared about her family, would you be willing to give her up?"

After hearing this, Tanchun took a deep breath.

More than that!
Now that Sister Baochai is about to die, before she dies, she is still thinking about finding a replacement "virtuous wife" for her master. How can an ordinary woman do this?
This is really too... virtuous!

This is a true good wife!
The worst thing is that any successor to the legitimate wife will be compared by Brother Zhan with his deceased predecessor. If the performance is too far apart, I am afraid that in Brother Zhan's mind...

Tanchun secretly felt lucky that she had become her godparent and had received the magic trick taught by her sister. Otherwise, she would not even know how she lost in the future.

But Baochai said again:

"Brother Zhan is a man who is compassionate to women, but you have to create opportunities for him to be compassionate, right?"

"Sister Yingchun caught the eye of Brother Zhan just because she was so weak and docile."

"Sister, if you want Brother Zhan to change his mind, you have to put away your smart and capable appearance and lower your profile."

After hearing this, Tanchun began to hesitate. It is easy to change the country but difficult to change one's nature. Although she also knows how to make compromises, many times understanding and doing are two different things.

After hesitating for a while, Tanchun asked:

"Sister, isn't marriage always decided by parents and matchmakers?"

"Now that the master has proposed marriage, my godmother supports me, and my sister has entrusted me with it, is it possible that Brother Zhan will not marry me?"

After hearing this, Baochai rolled her eyes and said angrily:

"Brother Zhan's parents have passed away now, so everything is up to him alone. Otherwise, why would it be so complicated? Wouldn't it be better to just go and persuade Uncle Zhan?"

"Although with our help, Brother Zhan will most likely not refuse, but nothing is absolute. What if something unexpected happens?"

"Let's not talk about anything else. Brother Zhan is a lustful person. If someone had seduced him shamelessly and had physical contact with him before, do you think Brother Zhan could marry someone else?"

"We are all young ladies of the Jia family. Who doesn't have a father or brother to support us?"

After listening to this, Tanchun suddenly realized something. At the same time as she felt nervous, the idea of ​​overtaking on a curve arose in her mind.

Rather than being attacked by others and then using dirty tricks to take the initiative, it would be better...

Her expression changed several times in an instant, and this idea turned over in her mind for a few times, but she was a calm and self-controlled person, and she soon woke up, shook her head, and dismissed the idea.

This is not right. Although this method is good, it will make Brother Zhan look down on us. Even if we get married in the future, I am afraid it will be difficult for us to live in harmony.

Baochai watched coldly from the side, seeing her heart flutter at first, but then quickly calm down, she knew that this guidance had failed, and said with a half-smile:
"Sister, are you planning to just make it a done deal?"

"Then you are wrong!"

"If this method is so easy to work, wouldn't I do it?"

"But now I am still a virgin, and I have never used such a method."

Tanchun's thoughts were exposed, her face immediately flushed, and she waved her hands hastily, saying:
"Sister, please don't laugh. How could I be so shameless as to do such an adulterous act before getting married?"

Baochai curled her lips in disapproval and said meaningfully:

"My dear sister, we are all family, and I won't live long, so I'm going to tell you a few words from the bottom of my heart."

"So-called propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, weren't those things defined by the same people who wrote books like 'Nu Xun' and 'Nu Jie'?"

"Every New Year's Day, officials of all ranks come to visit the palace, some seeking official positions, some seeking relatives... and so on. You have seen their faces. Where is their sense of propriety, righteousness, and shame? Isn't it all about profit?" "How many of them have read the books of sages and passed the imperial examinations? But have you seen them do what the books teach?"

"Let's say a few more disrespectful words. Are those who cheat on their husbands and raise their younger brothers-in-law in the East Palace considered to be very polite and chaste?"

These words were so revealing that Tanchun turned pale and dared not say a word.

When Baochai saw this, she smiled and patted her shoulder, saying soothingly:

"What are you afraid of? We are all sisters. Even if you said something outrageous, would I report you?"

"It is said that when a man is about to die, his words are good. I am already like this now, I don't care about anything else. I just want to live happily and freely in the remaining few months of my life."

Tanchun still had several decades to live, so how could she dare to speak so recklessly like her? She immediately put on a bitter face and smiled, but did not dare to say anything more.

Baochai took a long breath and sighed:

"If my sister always worries about propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame, then I'm afraid you will never be able to break free from the shackles of propriety. It will be difficult for you to live a free and happy life."

"But no matter what, your method of making things a done deal is not the best strategy."

"I am not someone who cares about etiquette. If this method worked, I would have stripped naked and gotten into Brother Zhan's bed a long time ago. Why would I wait until now?"

"Although this method is not the best, it is the best way to overturn the table."

"If in the future, my sister is really at a loss, she can use this trick as her last trump card to reverse the situation in one fell swoop. Who knows!"

Tanchun was frightened at first by Baochai's fierce words, and was speechless with her small mouth. But she was soon moved by her words, and secretly made up her mind to keep this trump card.

Baochai knew that what she said had touched Tanchun's heart, so she stopped talking and smiled, changing the subject:
"It's not enough to just find the weakness, you also have to be methodical in doing things."

"All men in this world are hypocritical, and Brother Zhan is no exception."

"Those men, no matter what they do, they always try to put on a righteous front. They are clearly willing in their hearts, but they still pretend to be so, making all kinds of excuses and resisting, and they have to put themselves on the moral high ground and not let anyone have a chance to talk."

"Since they can't do bad things, then of course all the bad things can only be done by us women!"

"You are the bad guy, and the good things are for the master. Do you think the master likes you?"

"Just like when I gave Sister Xiangling to Brother Zhan before, I had to beg him to accept it, otherwise he might not accept it."

"It may seem like I'm at a disadvantage, but my goal is to make Brother Zhan appreciate my kindness. Everything else is secondary and I don't need to care about it at all."

“This is the way of the world!”

"Sister, you are too businesslike sometimes, which is very inhumane."

"Do you think that if you treat everyone fairly and without favoritism towards your own family, others will recognize you?"

"Others will only think that since you don't even take care of your own family, you will certainly not care about outsiders like them. How can they get close to you?"

"Family members should protect each other, officials should protect each other, these are also rules, unwritten rules. If my sister does not agree with these, then naturally she will not be protected by these rules, and will not get the benefits covered by these rules."

"You and I have different personalities, and I don't know how much you can accept, but as your elder sister, I want to tell you."

"It's up to you to use it or not."

After hearing this, Tanchun fell silent.

These are all good advice, based on experience, and very good things, but her personality cannot accept them.

After hesitating for a long time, Tanchun took Baochai's hand and sighed:

"I already know your intentions."

"But as my elder sister said, I really can't learn all these ways of doing things."

"If I don't force my sister to do this, it would be better... it would be better to just use that last despicable means, which would make it easier for my sister to accept it!"

When Baochai heard this, she chuckled and said jokingly:
"That's easy. Do you want me to help you create opportunities?"

Tanchun was so teased that her melancholy suddenly disappeared. Her face flushed and she said unwillingly:
"Sister, you are teasing me again. I just said that. I will never give up so easily."

"Sister, please try to overcome Brother Zhan's 'weakness' and see if you can get this marriage in an upright manner. If it doesn't work... we can talk about it later!"

After hearing this, Baochai started to tickle her with a smile, and Tanchun playfully tickled her back with her hand, and the two sisters started to laugh and make a lot of noise together.

Tanchun was determined and was not completely led astray by Baochai, but Aunt Xue, who had been eavesdropping next door, was fooled by her daughter's words and the more she thought about it, the more it made sense.

Those men have no sense of propriety, righteousness, and integrity, so why should women be expected to remain chaste and faithful?

In the past, she also regarded women's books such as "Nu Xun" and "Nu Jie" as her bible, and she even taught Baochai the women's books herself. But now, after hearing what Baochai said, the more she thought about it, the more she felt that the old women who wrote these books probably had some psychological problems, and they wrote these books because they wanted women in later generations to suffer the same hardships as they did.

Everyone will find a reasonable reason for what they do, but Aunt Xue herself doesn't have that ability, so she was very confused and at a loss. But now, after listening to Baochai's words to deceive Tanchun, she suddenly realized something and directly copied this theory.

With this reason, Aunt Xue unexpectedly felt a lot less stressed due to her determination to sacrifice herself, her absurd dream, and being caught by the girls.

Let’s talk about Tanchun. After saying goodbye to Baochai, she returned home and thought about how to overcome the “weakness” of brother Zhan so that he could compare her with a “virtuous wife” like Baochai.

But no matter how much she thought about it, she couldn't think of any other way except "sending her daughter away".

But she only had two maids who were of decent looks, and she had no relatives like cousins ​​to use, so she really lacked beautiful women.

She also wondered whether she should find someone to discuss it with, but this kind of thing was not convenient to tell outsiders. The former sisters were now competitors, and others would be even less trustworthy.

She thought about it and could only think of her unreliable aunt who she could trust.

This is very embarrassing!

If we talk about who is more familiar with these crooked ways around you, it would undoubtedly be Aunt Zhao.

And even though Aunt Zhao was a person without measure and often stirred up trouble, she was her biological mother after all and would definitely not harm her.

Although she often disliked and scolded Aunt Zhao, she actually understood everything in her heart.

Aunt Zhao had never tried to harm her on her own initiative, but there was no cure for her stupidity. She was incompetent and loved to stir up trouble, but her methods were poor. Every time she stirred up trouble, she would be caught, and then she would be implicated. It was really an unprovoked disaster.

As time went by, she began to dislike Aunt Zhao more and more.

But what Baochai said today still touched her heart.

Perhaps, we should change our attitude towards our relatives.

After all, she will soon have another stepmother. If she doesn't even take care of her biological mother, how can she make her sister believe that she will take care of her stepmother in the future?
After figuring it out, Tanchun asked her secretary to invite Aunt Zhao to discuss the matter.

When Aunt Zhao heard the news, she felt strange but still rushed over quickly.

As soon as she entered the door, she couldn't wait to ask:

"how?"

"Did the Xue family tell Master Zhan that you were going to marry in Baochai's place?"

When Tanchun saw Aunt Zhao's innocent look, she felt inexplicably irritated again.

People will not be upset by the words and actions of people they don't care about, and Aunt Zhao can always easily make Tanchun angry.

Tanchun frowned and sent everyone around her away first, then said:
"Now that Sister Bao is in good health, what's the point of talking about marrying for someone else?"

"Aunt Xue was willing to take me in as her daughter because she saw that I was smart and filial, and that I got along well with her, so she wanted to marry me."

"My daughter is willing to marry into the Xue family, not for wealth or marriage, but because she is grateful for Aunt Xue's care for her daughter and is willing to be filial to her..."

"Alright, alright, we are all family, why are we still going through the motions?"

Aunt Zhao swung the handkerchief in her hand impatiently, sat down at the table unhappily, poured herself some cold tea, and sneered:

"What are you talking about being clever and filial, being at the side of your mother, you order her around all day long, and you don't seem to have any filial piety at all!"

"Oh, no, your filial piety is all for that lady, not your biological mother, let alone your godmother!"

"It's obvious that everyone has their own needs. Why not just put everything on the table and make it clear, just like doing business? Why do you have to pretend and act hypocritical to fool people?"

After being rebuked by her, Tanchun immediately threw all her rationality out of the window, raised her eyebrows, and shouted sternly:
"Auntie is talking nonsense here again!"

"Over the years, you have caused so much trouble because you couldn't control your mouth, and you still haven't learned your lesson!"

Aunt Zhao had long been immune to her daughter's words, so she didn't take it seriously. She just crossed her feet and asked loudly:

"Since you haven't made the matter clear, why did you ask someone to come over here?"

After hesitating for a long while, Tanchun stammered and told Baochai everything she had said.

Before her daughter could finish her words, Aunt Zhao smiled and slapped her thigh, shouting:
"Look, look, Miss Bao is very knowledgeable and knows how to treat her family well!"

"You are a girl who can't tell the difference between inside and outside. You only knew to follow the eldest wife's buttocks and don't understand who is your family at all!"

After hearing this, Tanchun couldn't help but stop talking and started arguing with her again.

The two of them have been getting along in this way for many years and have become accustomed to it, so after arguing for a few sentences, they seamlessly switched back to the main topic and continued to listen to Tanchun talk about things.

Aunt Zhao was a simple-minded person. When she heard something that pleased her, she couldn't help but interrupt to express her own opinion and then scold her daughter. Then Tanchun couldn't help but refute her, and the result was naturally that the quarrel continued.

After talking and arguing for several times, Tanchun finally finished telling the whole experience of the day, and then asked Aunt Zhao to give her some advice and think of a solution.

Aunt Zhao clapped her hands and laughed after hearing this, saying:

"What's so hard about this?"

"Isn't it just sending a girl?"

"Is this worth worrying about?"

"We don't have that many relatives, but we definitely have enough beautiful maids in the mansion!"

"I'll tell the master later and ask him to pick out that pretty maid to serve you."

After hearing this, Tanchun frowned and sneered:
"My aunt is messing around again. The maids in this mansion all have masters. How can they be transferred here just like that?"

"Besides, even if you have this idea, how can the master and the mistress let you do whatever you want!"

After hearing this, Aunt Zhao rolled her eyes at her daughter and said with a pout:
"You are a young lady, but you live cautiously all day long, and you are determined not to step out of line. But you don't know that if you don't step out, how do you know where you can't step?"

"I am the concubine of the mansion. Even if I have done something wrong, what can I do? Can you still kick me out?"

"You are not wrong to worry about the master and the mistress first in everything you do, but this time the situation is different. You don't know how much the master and the mistress value this marriage."

"Let me put it this way. The expenses of the mansion have been increasing in recent years. The output of the farm has long been insufficient. We have been living beyond our means for these years. Now we are completely dependent on the Zhan family's wine business."

"Do you really think that if Aunt Xue wants to take you in as her goddaughter, the master and his wife will agree?"

"I think privately that the master and his wife are probably eyeing the Xue family's assets!"

"So, for this marriage, the master and his wife are the most supportive of you!"

"As for those maids, you don't have to worry about them. If they knew that they could be taken to the Zhan Mansion as dowry, they would fight for it!"

"You know Lin Hongyu from before, right?"

"Her parents used their money to buy her a chance to go to the Zhan Mansion. Now she works for Concubine Xing. Her monthly salary is higher than my mother's. She also gets bonuses from time to time. I don't know how many people are envious of her!"

"I have thought it through. This pretty maid is the prettiest in Baoyu's room. I will specifically ask Baoyu for her and let the master and mistress give the order."

After hearing this, Tanchun was immediately startled and hurriedly stopped him, saying:
"Aunt, please don't mess with Baoyu. Those sisters are Baoyu's lifeblood. If you dare to touch them, I'm afraid Baoyu will go to the ancestors to cry and complain, and then no one will be able to protect you!"

Aunt Zhao said proudly after hearing this:

"If it were any other time, I might not dare to touch him."

"But ever since Qingwen's incident, Madam has long been dissatisfied with the maids around Baoyu, fearing that her precious son would be led astray by those vixen."

"Now that I have this legitimate reason, I just need to whisper in the master's ear, and he will naturally speak up and let my wife be the bad guy."

"My dear daughter, you have to learn from me. The power of the wind at the bedside is very strong!"

"If the master hadn't protected me, do you think the Madam would have let me off for all the troubles I've caused over the years?"

"If you really marry into the Zhan family and become a wife in the future, then I will pass on to you all the methods I have learned over the years. I will definitely make Master Zhan love you so much that you will never be taken away by those vixen."

Aunt Zhao's talk then deviated from the original topic and went off on a tangent, making Tanchun blush. But she knew in her heart that what her aunt said was right and that she would definitely need to learn it in the future, so she had to endure her shyness and listen to the rest.

Aunt Zhao originally thought that her daughter would soon start pretending to be serious again, so she stopped her and sent her out. However, she saw that Tanchun was obviously listening attentively, and she was immediately delighted. She put in even more effort and made her story more colorful.
