Chapter 44 Stepmother Difficulty 9
Aunt Xiu is a typical Jiangnan girl, with curved eyebrows and a soft-spoken look like Wu Nong's.

Aunt Lin's father was a low-ranking official in Beijing. He was naturally overjoyed when he found out that his daughter was favored by the Marquis.

You must know that in the capital, ten people were killed with one blow, and nine of them were officials. If the Marquis took notice of this embarrassing situation, it must be because the ancestors burned high incense and smoked it.

Aunt Xiu gave birth to a daughter, ranked sixth in the family, and Aunt Lin gave birth to a son, ranked seventh in the family.

Speaking of which, the two of them were pregnant at the same time, and they gave birth to their children at the same time.

Logically speaking, the relationship should be good, but in Tang Xin's opinion, this doesn't seem to be the case.

The concubines of this dynasty can also keep their children by their side. The previous lady had no intention of robbing other people's children, she only raised her own children, and the children born by that concubine will be raised by their own side.

Both were happy at first, who wants to be separated from their child?

In addition, they are also afraid that their children will suffer some vicious attacks, so it is more practical to keep them under their own noses.

But when the children get older, this doesn't seem to be the case.

It's obvious that I'm old enough to go to private school, but no one asks. Is this not worrying?

Comparing the two, Aunt Lin is naturally more anxious. After all, she is giving birth to a son.

Aunt Xiu gave the box in her hand to Dongtao with a smile, "so that Madam will know that this is a fine tea specially sent from Jiangnan by my natal brother, so I wanted to bring it to Madam to taste."

"Thank you." Tang Xin nodded to Dongtao, and Dongtao took it back.

There is nothing wrong with going to the Three Treasures Palace. Since she has brought a gift, she will definitely say something.

Tang Xin smiled at Aunt Xiu and said, "I heard a long time ago that Aunt Xiu's family is in the tea business, so I'll take some advantage today."

These words made the smile on Aunt Xiu's face suddenly freeze, and her smile became a little sarcastic.

It must be said that the original owner has been here for a long time, but Aunt Xiu has never sent tea leaves before, but she did bring tea leaves today.

Aunt Lin couldn't help but giggle when she heard this, "Actually, Madam has never drank before, and I have never seen this concubine before."

At this point, Aunt Lin paused deliberately, with a sarcastic smile on her face, "Maybe only I have tasted it."

These words made Aunt Xiu blush. She didn't know whether she was angry or ashamed.

Aunt Lin didn't care about that, but smiled at Tang Xin and said, "I showed off a small screen to Madam before. If Madam likes it, I can use it as a decoration."

As she said this, she waved her hand to the maid to deliver the small screen.

The small screen was embroidered on both sides, showing off the beautiful and fragrant peonies, which Tang Xin really liked.

Immediately asked Dongtao to put the small screen away.

Seeing Tang Xin put away the things, the two of them had smiles on their faces.

Tang Xin was not in a hurry to ask them. They didn't say anything, and she didn't mention it either. They rambled on, but didn't talk about the topic.

Gradually, both of them became a little unable to sit still, and finally Aunt Lin spoke first.

"Madam, I have something to ask for." Aunt Lin said, her eyes slightly red. This attitude of a person who has always been cheerful is very charming.

It's just a pity that the people sitting here are all women, so the lethality becomes much lower.

"Tell me about it." Tang Xin was noncommittal, neither agreeing nor rejecting.

"Madam also knows that the naughty thing I gave birth to is now in its infancy. Originally, I should have made the decision on this matter, but who knew..."

As she said this, Aunt Lin had tears in her eyes. She was really a little sad. After all, Yongdinghou was her husband, and her whole heart was with him.

When she heard the news about the disappearance of Marquis Yongding, she felt that the sky was falling.

Time is the medicine that heals all sorrows. Gradually, everyone in the house got used to the news of the disappearance of Marquis Yongding.Living people have more to consider, not to mention that she is a mother, so she naturally has to consider her son.

"Brother Meng is almost five years old now. It has been delayed for so long. Please ask Madam to talk to the clan school so that Brother Meng can go to school."

This matter... Tang Xin looked through it in her memory. Well, she originally said that the child was only five years old, what should he learn?
Let’s take another look and see that children in most families now start enlightenment at the age of three.

Tang Xin silently picked up the tea cup and took a sip of water. Okay, I have to say that ancient times were like rolls.

In modern times, when a three-year-old child just enters kindergarten, he or she is still running around like crazy.

Besides, my own mother is dying of anxiety, so she will not be regarded as such a villain.

"I'll talk to the old lady later and I'll let you know if there's any news."

Aunt Lin, who originally thought she was going to waste a lot of words, was stunned, but soon became overjoyed and thanked Tang Xin immediately.

I didn’t expect Madam to be so easy to talk to. If I had known, she would have come to Madam earlier.

A trace of annoyance flashed in Aunt Lin's heart, and was immediately replaced by joy. Anyway, no matter what, Brother Meng's enlightenment will definitely be fine now.

After her things were done, she felt relieved and relaxed.

Aunt Xiu felt a little anxious when she saw that Aunt Lin had achieved her wish so quickly.

"Madam, I also have something to ask for today."

Tang Xin smiled and said nothing, and she said that she would not go to the Three Treasures Hall for anything, and she came to ask her to do things today.

Before Tang Xin could speak, Aunt Xiu spoke up, "Madam, Sister Xin is about the same age as Brother Meng. Now it's time for her to read and learn to read."

Tang Xin had just browsed through the ancestral studies. In addition to the place where boys were given elementary lessons, there was also a place for girls.

Compared with the six skills of a gentleman that boys need to learn, what girls need to learn is relatively simple.

Despite Xiao Yue's arrogant and unforgiving appearance, when it comes to family studies, he also needs to attend classes obediently.

In aristocratic families, there is no such thing as a virtue for a woman without talent. Reading and literacy are things that women also need to learn.

Tang Xin quite agrees with this matter.

The real confidence comes from oneself, not from others.

Although Tang Xin doubted whether a four-year-old child could understand it, maybe children in ancient times were smart?

Besides, she can still stop others from making progress.

Tang Xin nodded, "Sister Xin, I'll ask Dong Tao to go there tomorrow."

Unlike boys, for girls, she just asked Dongtao to hold the pair of cards and talk to her husband.

Aunt Xiu was also full of surprise, "Thank you, madam."

From the time the original owner got married to the Yongding Marquis Mansion, his two concubines and their children had only been greeted a few times.

This time, I came with the intention of being ridiculed, but I didn't expect that Tang Xin would agree to them so easily.

The two of them were still a little surprised when they left the Liuguang Yard. They looked at each other, and for the rare moment they put aside their prejudice against each other.

"Sister Lin, why don't you go have a cup of tea in my courtyard?"

"Very good."
