The Reborn Noble Girl Is Hard To Find

Chapter 46 : Aunt who Teaches

The next morning, Han Yan came to the main house to pay respects to Zhuang Shi Yang and saw Zhou Shi and Zhuang Yu Shan waiting on the side.

Zhuang Yu Shan was talking and laughing with Zhuang Shi Yang, and Zhuang Shi Yang was very pleased with her coquettish appearance.

In Han Yan's memory, she had rarely seen Zhuang Shi Yang treat her so kindly. Her eyes turned cold, and Han Yan stepped forward and saluted: "The daughter pays respects to her Father."

Zhuang Shi Yang frowned when he saw Han Yan coming in, and said with some dissatisfaction: "Why are you so late? Yu'er came half an hour ago. As the eldest daughter of the Zhuang family, how can she be so lazy?"

His words were really harsh. Before Han Yan could speak, Zhou Shi had already said, "Fourth Miss worked hard to win honor for the Zhuang family at the palace banquet yesterday. It's not wrong to get up a little late. Master, please understand the young lady."

It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it. As soon as the palace banquet was mentioned, Zhuang Shi Yang immediately remembered what Han Yan said in front of the Emperor. As a daughter, she didn't mention him at all, which made him unhappy. He immediately became even colder: "Humph, it's not a big deal, don't be so self-righteous."

Seeing Han Yan being taught a lesson, Zhuang Yu Shan, who had been watching the fire from the other side, had a glimmer of pride in her eyes. Han Yan just stood there obediently, and said softly, "So, Father taught me that I must pay my respects half an hour earlier in the future, just like Sister Yu Shan."

The same time as Zhuang Yu Shan, but different from the time of paying respects in the mansion, she, a proper lady of the Zhuang family, had to cater to the daughter of a concubine. Zhou Shi's face changed, she smiled and said, "The fourth young lady is very filial, and the Master naturally knows it."

Han Yan just smiled and didn't answer. Seeing this, Zhou Shi said softly to Zhuang Shi Yang, "Master, I have a favor to ask of you."
Zhuang Shi Yang asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Shi glanced at Han Yan and said, "Yesterday, the fourth young lady's calligraphy and painting were very good. Yu Shan asked me to ask the fourth young lady for lessons and wanted the fourth young lady to teach her calligraphy and painting."

Zhuang Shi Yang waved his hand and said, "It's not difficult, Han Yan, you have nothing to do all day, so teach your sister."

Facing Zhuang Shi Yang's commanding gaze and Zhuang Yu Shan's expectant look, Han Yan just smiled and said, "How dare Han Yan show off such a trivial skill? It's not that Han Yan doesn't want to, but Sister Yu Shan is already outstanding. Han Yan doesn't dare to be arrogant. Why doesn't Father invite Aunt Yan, the most famous talent in the capital, to teach Sister Yu Shan. Aunt Yan's style was unmatched in the capital back then. She was proficient in zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. She must be better than Han Yan. What do Aunt Zhou and Sister Yu Shan think?"

Zhuang Yu Shan was unwilling to admit that she was inferior to Han Yan, but she wanted to learn Han Yan's painting skills, so she agreed reluctantly. Seeing that she didn't have to learn under Han Yan's teaching, and the Aunt she invited was even better than Han Yan, she immediately replied: "That's good..." She wanted to say something, but her eyes fell back when they met Zhou Shi. Zhou Shi looked at Han Yan. Although she was dissatisfied with Han Yan's refusal, she was also moved by Aunt Yan's reputation.

Han Yan didn't lie. This Aunt Yan was indeed talented. If Zhuang Yu Shan could learn a thing or two, she would definitely be able to surpass Han Yan, and it would also be a favorable bargaining chip for marrying into a wealthy family in the future.

Well, after a moment, Zhou Shi smiled and said, "I feel bad about letting Yu Shan bother the fourth young lady all day long. Why not invite Aunt Yan to come? I just don't know if she agrees with our request."

Zhuang Shi Yang waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's not that difficult. I'll have my servants take my invitation and invite her later. Just wait."

Seeing that the goal was achieved, Han Yan smiled and said, "Father, Yan'er has an appointment with Sister Deng Chan today, so I'll take my leave first."

Zhuang Shi Yang already felt that Han Yan standing here was an eyesore, so he just said impatiently, "Then go quickly."

Han Yan bowed again and left politely.

On the way back to Qingqiu Garden, Ji Lan couldn't help but say, "Miss, why did you give Aunt Zhou such a good idea? Aunt Yan's talent is not here to teach you, but it is given to the one from Gongtong Garden. What if she surpasses you in the future?"

Before Han Yan could speak, Shu Hong said in a deep voice, "How can that person compare with Miss?"

Han Yan was stunned for a moment but then she started to laugh. Seeing that there was no one around, she said softly, "Do you know who that Aunt Yan is?"

Ji Lan was stunned for a moment, but soon reacted and looked at Han Yan with some surprise: "Could it be..."

"She's not an easy person to get along with." Han Yan said lightly, "Sister Yu Shan is so idle on weekdays, she must find something to do."

Ji Lan couldn't help but praise: "Miss is really smart."

Han Yan remained silent.
The reason why Han Yan knew Aunt Yan was because of Zhou Shi really did invite Aunt Yan to teach her in her previous life.

Han Yan was afraid that she would not do well in some aspects after learning she was going to marry Wei Ru Feng. She begged Zhou Shi to invite an aunt to teach her. Zhou Shi did invite a talented woman from the capital, and that was Aunt Yan.

It is true that Aunt Yan is talented, but unfortunately, in this world, talent and character are not the same. When Aunt Yan was young, she almost became a concubine in the palace but ultimately failed because of her ordinary appearance. Therefore, Aunt Yan hates all beautiful women. In addition, Zhou Shi's special "instructions" made Han Yan suffer a lot in her previous life.

Zhuang Yu Shan was born beautiful. Think about it, Aunt Yan will give her a lot of suffering.

Zhuang Yu Shan was arrogant and proud; there would be more conflicts between her and Aunt Yan in the future. Han Yan didn't know whether Zhuang Yu Shan would compromise for Aunt Yan's talent or not or would give in under the insult, but that was not what Han Yan cared about.

Back to Qingqiu Garden, "Miss, are we going to Minister Deng's residence?" Shu Hong asked.

Han Yan shook her head: "Go pick an inconspicuous carriage and go to Shun Chang Martial Arts School."

Although Ji Lan was surprised, she still went to look for a carriage as she said. Han Yan changed into an ordinary blue satin vest, a silver-red jacket, a white silk pleated skirt, and still had her hair in a bun. She looked like a maid from a wealthy family.

The outer jacket was already a little short. Shu Hong said, "Miss, when are you going to Ruyi Tower to cut some clothes? They are too short..."

Han Yan only noticed it then, but she couldn't bear to part with it. These clothes were made for her by her mother when she was alive. Since her mother passed away, no one in the mansion cared about her food, clothing, and daily life except for the maids and Nanny Chen. She couldn't help but smile bitterly: "No need, I think this is good enough."

Shu Hong hesitated: "The money that the young lady gives to the servants on weekdays is enough to make several pieces..."

Han Yan shook her head: "The clothes don't fit me. Nothing will happen to me if I wear them, but if the servants in this mansion are not taken care of, something bad might happen. Besides, it's not because I'm short of money..." She smiled again: "Forget it, let's not talk about this. Let's go."

Shu Hong found a veil and put it on her carefully. Han Yan took out a banknote from the box and put it in her sleeve. Shun Chang Martial Arts School recently opened a new women's martial arts school.

Women from all over capital went there one after another. It was very lively for a while. Han Yan had heard about it. It's time to ask for the interest.

Yang Qi finally accepted her suggestion.
