Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Chapter 132 World 34

"Good girl," Yu Miaoqi was somewhat surprised by Pan Yinyin's keen insight, but her mood improved considerably. Seeing that Pan Yinyin was trying to bring the pastry to her lips, she took a small piece from her hand as well.

Zhao Mama was in a good mood at the moment, and Yu Miaoqi had composed herself, so naturally she didn't let Zhao Mama notice anything amiss.

Since Yu Miaoqi had agreed to bring her in, Zhao Mama naturally wouldn't delay and brought her into the mansion the next day. When Qingwu returned two days later, she said that the madam had already left someone to serve her.

No one was surprised by this.

Zhao Mama was the madam's wet nurse. How could the madam refuse to let her own granddaughter enter the mansion?

But the next time Pan Yinyin followed her into the mansion, she saw a young maid standing in the courtyard scolding the maid who was sweeping.

"Now that it's autumn, leaves are constantly falling from the trees, so we need to be even more careful and sweep them up frequently. If we rely on our master's kindness and wait for the appointed time every day to clean up, then we'll be destined to be a cleaning maid for the rest of our lives."

Pan Yinyin tilted her head, looked at her for a while, and then quietly rested on her mother's shoulder.

The girl looked to be around five or six years old, and she dared to talk to the cleaning maid. She must be Zhao Mama's granddaughter.

Although there's some truth to what she said, the tone was really unpleasant, which explains why the maid's hand was so tight that it turned white.

"Is it Liuli?" Qingwu winked at the cleaning maid, signaling her to leave, and walked up to the maid herself. "I've always heard Granny Zhao talk about how wonderful her granddaughter is. Now that I've seen you with my own eyes, I know that what she said is true."

After being flattered like that, Liuli had no mind to pay attention to the maid who was leaving: "Aunt Pan and Sister Yinyin, right? Madam is inside. She said she's waiting for you to come in."

This time, Qingwu was a little surprised: "Liuli, how did you guess who we are?"

“It was my grandmother who said that,” Liuli said, acting like a well-behaved and adorable little girl when she was with Qingwu. “She said that if I saw a pretty aunt with a little girl who was one or two years old coming to pay her respects to the madam, it must be you two.”

Qingwu's smile deepened. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Granny Zhao come out, and she even praised Liuli to her before going inside.

"They're here," Yu Miaoqi said. She was doing embroidery when she saw them come in. She waved to Yin Yin and waited for her to run over. She couldn't help but touch Yin Yin's hair and hug her before she had time to listen to Qing Wu talk about what was happening outside.

Pan Yinyin knew what her mother was going to say when she was at home, so she focused all her attention on the embroidery frame in front of her.

A red plum blossom pattern has been roughly embroidered on the stretched fabric; all that's left is to carefully add some details.

Pan Yinyin learned embroidery in the first world, and in the second world, she even ran her own embroidery workshop. While her own skills might not be exceptional, her appreciation for art was quite good. Judging from the completed portion of the embroidery in front of her, the lines were smooth, the stitches were fine and lifelike. If she finished it to this standard, it would surely fetch a high price.

But someone of Yu Miaoqi's status, who doesn't lack for daily expenses, must have had other intentions for going to such great lengths to create such exquisite embroidery.

After Yu Miaoqi finished speaking with Qingwu, she looked down and saw Pan Yinyin staring intently at her embroidery: "Yinyin, do you think it looks good?"

"It looks good," Pan Yinyin answered without hesitation, "Yinyin smells nice!"

Yu Miaoqi was taken aback: "It's just an embroidery piece, where would the fragrance come from?"

Qingwu quickly explained, "Yinyin thinks that Madam's embroidery is so lifelike. Looking at the flowers on the embroidery, it's as if she can smell their fragrance."

Pan Yinyin nodded vigorously, indicating her approval.

Yu Miaoqi smiled and told Qingwu to go about her business. She then held Yinyin and opened her book of flower patterns, pointing to the words on it and teaching her to recognize the flowers one by one.

Originally, Yu Miaoqi was just teaching for fun and didn't have any expectations, but Pan Yinyin felt that this was a good opportunity, so when Yu Miaoqi tested her teaching, she answered all three pages she had learned correctly.

"Our Yinyin is so smart," Yu Miaoqi said, looking at the child in front of her with a mixture of surprise and satisfaction.

Pan Yinyin knew why she was so surprised, but she pretended to be confused and looked at her for a moment before laughing along with her.

When Granny Zhao saw this, she reached out and pushed her granddaughter.

Liuli glanced at her grandmother with some fear, then stepped forward and said, "Little sister Yinyin is learning so fast; she's already learned four words."

Yu Miaoqi smiled faintly: "I remember that Liuli's mother was the daughter of a child scholar, and she always learned to read at home."

Granny Zhao immediately said, "This girl is still young. Even if her mother teaches her, she won't be able to remember anything. Besides, once she gets to the mansion, we don't know if the master has given any instructions, so we dare not teach her to read."

Yu Miaoqi raised her eyebrows almost imperceptibly and said, "You are very thoughtful. If the master were still alive, I would definitely have asked a girl like Liuli to serve in the study."

Those who can't read, should be sent to the study to serve?

Pan Yinyin quickly realized that this study must not only contain books, but also many secrets, which is why she specifically chose someone who couldn't read to go there.

Granny Zhao tentatively said, "Our young master is growing up so fast. When Madam sets up a study for him, this maid will be of great use."

Granny Zhao was simple-minded and always laid her thoughts bare. Pan Yinyin didn't even need to think about it carefully to know what she was up to.

Yu Miaoqi did not refuse, but said, "If you want to serve in the study, you will need to teach me more, since it is a place for entertaining guests."

Zhao Mama assumed that the madam had agreed and quickly replied, "Madam, please rest assured, I will definitely teach her well."

Yu Miaoqi nodded: "I don't have anything important to do here, and Liuli is still young. Granny, you can teach her some manners properly."

Granny Zhao didn't really want Pan Yinyin to steal the spotlight, but with Yu Miaoqi's instructions and the temptation of transferring Liuli to Zhan Zheng's study in the future, she had no choice but to take Liuli out.

Looking at Yu Miaoqi's indifferent expression, Pan Yinyin was not quite sure.

Since Granny Zhao has so many ulterior motives and often makes Yu Miaoqi unhappy, why not just send her away to live a life of leisure instead of keeping her by her side? Isn't that just asking for trouble, especially the kind of trouble she can't vent her anger on?

But since she is still young and cannot frankly ask Yu Miaoqi, she can only keep her questions to herself for the time being and decide to continue to observe.

What makes Granny Zhao so special? It can't possibly be just because she's the lady's wet nurse.
