When Yuxi went out, Zisu took out a pink and emerald green brocade with fox fur cloak from the room, "Miss, it's very cold outside. You've just gotten well, so you need to wear more."

When they reached the main house, as Yuxi's maid lifted the curtain, a maid from the room came forward to help Yuxi untie her cloak. Cuiyu whispered, "Miss, Madam s.h.i.+ziheir of a n.o.ble house¹ from Marquis Changping residence has come."

When Old Madam Han saw Yuxi came in, she looked at her carefully. Since she saw that Yuxi was not sick, and really sure that she was really well, she said, "Bring a cup of ginseng tea for Fourth Girl."

Old Madam Han didn't care. She already knew that Yuxi had such character. Yuxi won't put up with something she didn't find good for herself or something she didn't like, and she would definitely open her mouth to go against it. Old Madam Han said to Shanhu, the maid beside her, "Go. Bring a cup of boiled water for Fourth Girl."

Yuxi smiled and greeted Madam s.h.i.+zi, "Good greeting bomuwife of father's elder brother²." For a moment there, I got confused between Marquis Changping (brother of Old Madam Han) with Marquis Pingqing (brother of Yuchen's mother). (－‸ლ) TN

Madam s.h.i.+ziheir of a n.o.ble house¹ of Marquis Changping residence naturally would gave Old Madam Han some face, "What a filial child."

Qiu s.h.i.+ was warming herself in the room when she heard Yuxi had come over. She immediately stood up and took her to the brazier, "You really are a child. Your body just got well, and you still wanted to run around. It's so cold outside, what if you got cold again?"

Qiu s.h.i.+ touched Yuxi's face and sighed softly, "You have lost so much weight. You have to make up for it." After saying those words, she instructed a maid to go to the warehouse to take some supplements for Yuxi to take back.

Qiu s.h.i.+ couldn't help groaning, "Being fat is also good-looking. The little girls in other families are looking too thin, just like a bamboo pole. When I see them, I couldn't help worrying about their health. If someone else's family is looking for a daughter-in-law, they surely don't want to choose a girl that looks like a bamboo pole."

Qiu s.h.i.+ also said, "You also should have learnt about housekeeping on the first day of the twelfth lunar month last time. Unfortunately, you were ill. So you shall learn from your sister-in-law at the beginning of next year instead."

Qiu s.h.i.+ took Yuxi's hand and chat with her for a little while until Shanhu, the maid beside the Old Madam, came to invite her to go to the main room.

From a distance, Yuxi heard a melodious sound of qin. Without thinking much about it, she knew that Yuchen was practicing her qin. Yuxi smiled and said to Kufu, "Speaking of which, the people around San Jiesan=three/third, jie=elder sister, short form for Jiejie³ are really blessed since they can listen to San Jiesan=three/third, jie=elder sister, short form for Jiejie³ playing the qin and blowing the flute every day." Yuchen could also play the flute very well.

Yuxi naturally won't say that she thought it was only a waste of time to learn this kind of stuff. Thus, she just chuckled and replied, "I don't have the talent, so I didn't want to waste my time learning it."

Yuxi handed over her coat to s.h.i.+qi and said with a smile, "I heard the beautiful and moving sound from San Jiesan=three/third, jie=elder sister, short form for Jiejie³'s qin from afar. Even in this cold, it still worth for me to come here!"

Yuxi narrowed her eyes, thinking, then smilingly said, "I want to hear not only the qin but also the flute." It wasn't that she was flattering Yuchen, but Yuchen's qin and flute skills were very good that they warmed the heart and delighted the eyeChinese idiom : pleasing⁴.

Yuxi also had no argument. When she learned etiquette, she often ate in Tingyun Pavilion, which had become a habit for her.

Yuxi bowed her head and thought for a moment:. "Did San Jiesan=three/third, jie=elder sister, short form for Jiejie³ learn 'Yangchun'?" 'Yangchun' was one of the top ten cla.s.sical music of guqin. It described the beautiful scenery of early spring when winter went and spring came, with the earth recovering and everything was thriving. The melody was fresh and smooth, and the rhythm was relaxed and lively. This was also Yuxi's characteristic. She liked to wear bright clothes and bright jewelry, and also liked to listen to cheerful music. According to her idea, the previous life was so depressing that she could no longer be cowardly to have a good life for herself.

This is Yangchun :

Yuchen gave her a helpless smile, "You really know how to choose. I have just learned this song." This song, Yangchun, was actually very difficult for ordinary people to play.

Yuchen smiled gently and began to play the qin.

Yuchen liked to discuss various topics with Yuxi, such as qin, painting, chess and calligraphy. "Don't say something that nice. This piece of music is too difficult. I have some difficulty playing it the middle part."

Yuchen closed her eyes and tried to describe the scene in her mind. After a while, she opened her eyes, gave out a smile and said, "I'll play it one more time."

At that moment, s.h.i.+qi came over and announced, "Miss, Fourth Miss, the meal is ready, so you may have your lunch right now."

After lunch, Yuxi accompanied Yuchen walked around the house. Tingyun Pavilion was warm in winter and cool in summer. This was what it was said about it, but it was actually true. As long as one didn't go out, it would feel as warm as spring inside which made one won't bear to leave.

This is how a jade flute sound like.

Yuxi smiled, "Then, I should go back to take a nap too." She also learned etiquette quite well, but not as strict as Momowet nurse⁶ Gui required. Of course, this also had something to do with the future path of the two people. On the condition of Yuchen who would definitely married into the royal family, and as for Yuxi, she must be married into the official family. Therefore, Momowet nurse⁶ Quan didn't harshly ask for Yuxi to strictly follow the rules and etiquette.

Yuxi was not surprised either. Yuru would be 15 next year. Now was the right time for a matchmaker to start coming over. "Tell me, which family did they discuss about?"

Yuxi smiled, "Don't ask about it anymore. It actually has nothing to do with us." Even though she had never been in charge in her previous life, it was impossible not to know whom Yuru married to. Yuru later married left a.s.sistant minister of the Board of Punishment, Xiang darenrespectful t.i.tle towards superior third diborn from formal wife⁷ son, Xiang Zhixue. His ambition was to excel in literary as he was unable to learn martial arts, but he had a good temper. Later, his family donated an official position to him. Thus, Yuru also became an official's wife. Later, she gave birth to two sons and two daughters. Yuxi envied Yuru very much in her previous life. She thought that Yuru had married well. Of course, this envy was only relative to what had happened to her back then.
