Chapter 2595: Your Room Is So Pretty!
“Your room is so pretty!” Lu Yujing admired as she looked around.
Ning Shu didn’t think her room was particularly exceptional, it was just within the standards. Lu Mingxuan and Lu Junning’s rooms were much more beautifully decorated.
However, Lu Yujing had probably never been allowed into their room before.
Ning Shu and Lu Yujing sat down at the table, with Ning Shu holding embroidery and Lu Yujing holding a book of Women’s Precepts.
Lu Yujing struggled to recite some of the characters from memory, as she was only about ten years old and didn’t recognize some of the more difficult characters. Teacher Liu was teaching based on Lu Mingxuan’s progress.
Since they were here to ‘accompany the crown prince’s studies,’ the teacher didn’t bother to teach the rest of them closely. Especially Lu Yujing, whom the teacher didn’t care about at all.
Ning Shu taught Lu Yujing how to pronounce certain characters, while Lu Yujing showed her how to stitch and embroider.
Ning Shu was a little surprised and asked, “How do you know so much?”
Lu Yujing blushed and said in a low voice, “I learned from my wet nurse.”
Lu Yujing usually kept a low profile, with a quiet and introverted personality.
She found solace in embroidery and would often pick up her needle and thread when she had nothing else to do. Sometimes her work was so exceptional that she could sell it for a decent sum of money.
Ning Shu nodded. See? Having a skill that could support oneself was indeed crucial.
Even someone as young as Lu Yujing was able to earn money.
Even in a wealthy household, not everyone was well taken care of, especially considering the strict hierarchy that existed.
Lu Yujing was often ignored.
The reason Mistress Yun allowed both her and Lu Yueyun to learn from Teacher Liu was probably that she hoped to showcase the red flower with green leaves.
“Third Sister, you can’t tell Madam about me selling embroidery,” Lu Yujing’s face turned pale as she pleaded.
“I won’t,” Ning Shu promised.
Under Lu Yujing’s guidance, Ning Shu gradually learned some techniques, although she still struggled with embroidery.
In return, whenever Lu Yujing didn’t understand something, Ning Shu did her best to teach her.
When Lu Yujing left, Ning Shu gave her a brush and inkstone so that she could practice calligraphy.
Lu Yujing looked at the brush and inkstone wide-eyed, then said to Ning Shu, “Thanks, Third Sister.”
After Lu Yujing left, Ning Shu continued to embroider. It wasn’t as difficult as before now that she had grasped the pattern.
She even found it somewhat interesting. The only issue was, Teacher Liu never taught step-by-step, she only assigned tasks and would punish her if she couldn’t complete them.
Ning Shu wasn’t too bothered though since she knew that Lu Junning, who was filled with anger, would not let Teacher Liu get away with constantly finding faults with her.
Ning Shu hummed a tune while embroidering.
In the future, even if she couldn’t make it in modern times, she could still embroider to make a living.
Wahahaha…
With that thought in mind, Ning Shu started embroidering seriously, trying to master this skill.
However, now that she thought about it, she had never seen the father of this body.
The original host rarely saw her father throughout the year.
When Lu Yuanfan went to the inner courtyard, it was usually to find a concubine or to visit Mistress Yun.
At most, they would eat together during holidays, but they rarely saw each other otherwise.
The men entrusted the upbringing of their daughters to the women who managed the inner courtyard.
They only brought the daughters out when it was time for them to get married.
In fact, the family bond was very weak.
The original host only felt reverence toward Lu Yuanfan.
However, in the end, Lu Yuanfan was brought down by Lu Junning who was reborn. He lost his official position and had his reputation destroyed.
