Shocking Mountain Moon
Chapter 8 Substitution
Chapter 8 Substitution
Qiu Heng had to learn a lot in those ten years, and the hardest part was martial arts. Standing for an hour was easy for her, but she still had five people to kill, so she really didn't have time to enjoy this relaxation.
"Sixth Miss, you may begin now." Aunt Zhu thought Qiu Heng's momentary silence was a sign of reluctance, and she sneered in her heart.
So what if she is impeccable in walking, standing, sitting and lying down? She has the final say on when she will learn well.
"Madam Zhu, please tell me what I want you to learn. Is it based on the sisters, or do you have other requirements?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Zhu's face darkened immediately: "Sixth Miss, just do as I say. I will let you know when you can do it."
Qiu Heng shook her head: "Without a clear goal, I won't be able to eat or sleep."
What kind of ridiculous excuse is this?
The shock of seeing Qiu Heng's every move and gesture being no less than any other noble lady turned into annoyance of being provoked.
"If this is the attitude of Sixth Miss, please forgive me for my incompetence. I will have to ask the old lady to appoint someone else to teach me."
"Then I'll go ask my grandmother." Qiu Heng walked out.
Nanny Zhu was stunned for a moment before chasing after him.
What's wrong with this sixth girl? Isn't she afraid of threats?
Walking out of Lengxiangju, Qiu Heng glanced to the left calmly.
The branch of the flower swayed slightly, and a servant ran over.
"Sir, the Sixth Miss has come out. It looks like she is going to Qiansong Hall."
"Okay!" Qiu Song clapped his hands, grabbed the slingshot and ran out.
Nanny Zhu caught up with Qiu Heng and warned her in a low voice: "The old lady just arranged for the Sixth Miss to learn the rules, but the Sixth Miss went to the old lady to make trouble. Aren't you afraid of being punished by the old lady?"
Qiu Heng walked slowly, looking innocent: "I'm going to talk to my grandmother."
Reasonable? The uneducated little girl is indeed stupid and ridiculous.
"Sixth Miss, please think carefully. If you make the old lady unhappy, I will have to be stricter with you."
Qiu Heng tilted her head and said, "If Nanny Zhu doesn't want to alarm the old lady, then we can go back to Lengxiangju. It will be easy for me to learn and it will be easy for Nanny Zhu to teach me in the future."
"As a servant, I don't have any ideas." Nanny Zhu had a blank expression on her face and rejected the suggestion that she should take advantage of the situation.
Originally, among the five young ladies in the Bo's Mansion, including the eldest young lady who entered the palace, none of them was so undisciplined. She wanted to see what good the sixth young lady could get from the old lady. She was truly ignorant and fearless!
"Madam Zhu is so upright, no wonder my grandmother chose you to teach me—" Qiu Heng said as her feet suddenly slipped.
There was a sound of something breaking through the air, and something hit Nanny Zhu on the cheek.
Nanny Zhu screamed, startling the birds that had landed on the flowers and trees and making them fly away. The boy who was hiding behind the flowers and trees was still smug when he realized he had hit the wrong person and ran away.
Qiu Heng leaned over to pick up the object that hit Nanny Zhu and put it into her sleeve: "Is Nanny Zhu okay?"
Nanny Zhu's cheeks went numb, and she spat out a mouthful of bloody foam. She stared at the bloody saliva for a moment, then her eyes went dark and she passed out.
Someone among the maids and servants who came running over after hearing the noise shouted, "Oh, Madam Zhu is fainting from blood!"
After a commotion, Qiu Heng and the unconscious Nanny Zhu came in front of the old lady.
The old lady's face turned pale: "What's going on?"
"Madame Zhu and I were talking in the garden when something suddenly flew over and hit Madame Zhu on the cheek." Qiu Heng spread out her palm, "It was this mud pill that hit Madame Zhu."
The old lady took a closer look and knew who made the mud ball - Song'er was making trouble again.
In the old lady's view, it was normal for a ten-year-old grandson to be naughty, so she changed the subject: "Wake up Aunt Zhu first."
As the maid pinched her Ren Zhong, Nanny Zhu slowly woke up. When she saw the old lady, she turned over and knelt down, complaining incoherently: "Please, old lady, help me. Just now, when I was walking on the road with the Sixth Miss, I was hit in the face by something. It must be--"
Nanny Zhu wanted to say that it must have been arranged by the Sixth Young Lady, but was interrupted by the old lady in a cold voice: "It was just a minor accident, Nanny Zhu will take good care of her. Chuncao, go get two taels of silver for Nanny Zhu." What's the point? Do you want her to punish Song'er? It seems that the saying that the slave bullies the master is not without reason.
Nanny Zhu noticed the old lady's coldness and kept back what she had to say.
What happened in the short time she was unconscious?
Nanny Zhu ignored the difference between master and servant and spoke sharply in front of Qiu Heng, but this was because she was a nanny. She didn't dare to be presumptuous in front of the old lady and secretly decided to find out the situation first.
Qiu Heng spoke at the right time: "The granddaughter's foster nanny——"
The old lady took a look at Nanny Zhu, whose cheek was swollen and there was blood at the corner of her mouth, and took a breath of cold air: This tough girl is really a deception, the best thing to do is to send her away quickly.
"You go back first. The new foster nanny will be here soon."
"Granddaughter resigns."
When Qiu Heng returned to Lengxiangju, Mother Wang came up to her worriedly and asked, "Is the girl okay?"
"It's okay. Grandmother is going to send a new foster nanny to me. Who does Mother Wang think it will be?"
Mother Wang thought for a moment and said, "There are three nannies still in the mansion. Nanny Zhu is the most strict. The remaining two are Nanny Yu and Nanny Li. I think Nanny Yu has more status."
"What kind of person is this Yu Ma?"
"Mother Yu has a good temper and speaks in a pleasant way..."
Qiu Heng had almost understood everything, and the new nanny had also arrived, and it was indeed Nanny Yu.
Unlike Nanny Zhu, who had slightly high cheekbones, Nanny Yu had a round face, looked kind, and spoke more politely: "Everyone's walking posture is different. Sixth Miss, take a few steps first and let me see. If there is anything inappropriate, we can adjust it."
After Qiu Heng did as she was told, Nanny Yu fell silent.
She knew Nanny Zhu's temper. Seeing that the Sixth Miss was doing well, she would probably be more strict with her in order to temper her temper.
Then...was it really an accident that Nanny Zhu was injured and replaced?
"Please give me some advice, Aunt Yu."
"In my opinion, Sixth Miss has done a very good job. Has she received any instruction before?" Nanny Yu asked in a chatty tone, thinking about what to do.
The old lady's intention was clearly to let the Sixth Miss stay in Lengxiangju and behave herself, not just to learn the rules and etiquette.
"I want to discuss something with Aunt Yu."
"Sixth Miss, please speak."
"Madam Yu, please sit down. Fangzhou, bring some tea."
Soon Fangzhou came over and put down a pot of tea and a plate of snacks.
There are four square dim sum on the white porcelain plate. They are ordinary in style, but their reddish white color gives them a soft and sticky texture.
Aunt Yu thought to herself: This snack shouldn’t be bad.
"First, have some tea to moisten your throat, and eat a piece of red bean cake."
Nanny Yu had not yet figured out how to treat this seemingly extraordinary Sixth Miss, so she decided to buy some time and drank a sip of tea, picked up a piece of dessert and put it in her mouth.
The sweet, soft and glutinous taste was so wonderful that Yu Ma was stunned.
How can there be such delicious red bean cake!
