Time Travel: The Noble Family-Chapter 548 - 211 Elder Sister like Mother_2

Yueyao gently smiled.

Xiang Wei couldn’t help but exclaim at this point, "Miss, it’s such a pity you’re a woman. If you were a man, you would definitely be able to establish your own industry."

Yueyao shook her head, "It’s not a pity. As long as one can stick to their goals, they can definitely achieve something."

Xiang Wei beamed a smile, "Miss, you’re so insightful, why won’t you let Young Master Tingzheng enlist in the army? Since Tingzheng has the talent, isn’t it a waste not to use it? Miss, do you really want Tingzheng to lead a mediocre life forever?"

Yueyao fell into deep thought until the afternoon, then had someone send a message to Hua Shaoye, asking Hua Shaoye to properly mentor Tingzheng.

Xiang Wei was very surprised to hear Yueyao’s words, knowing that scholarly families always viewed those in the military as crude and uneducated. If she hadn’t known that Yueyao was not the type to adhere rigidly to old ways, she wouldn’t have dared to make this suggestion. She had started the conversation today merely as a trial, and hadn’t expected Yueyao to come around so quickly.

Yueyao shook her head, "Right now, I just want Tingzheng to learn more so that he has enough ability to protect himself in the future. As for whether Tingzheng wants to join the army, we can discuss that after his coming-of-age ceremony. If he wants to, I won’t oppose it," she added that if Tingzheng insisted on joining the military, even if it was dangerous, she wouldn’t stop him. Everyone has their own ambitions, and she couldn’t block his path just because she was worried about Tingzheng.

Xiang Wei couldn’t help but praise Yueyao, "Having you as a sister is Tingzheng’s blessing." Yueyao, facing her own difficulties, had gone to great lengths to send Tingzheng to the Li family, ensuring a good environment for his growth. Just this alone was already commendable.

Yueyao in four words: "Elder sister like mother."

Xiang Wei was speechless.

Ever since the Lantern Festival, Xiang Wei’s correspondence with Bai Yi had become frequent. The Lady family was no longer daring to deduct from Xiang Wei’s comforts, but seized an opportunity to read a letter between the two, which contained nothing but trivial matters. The Lady family thus paid it no mind, not realizing that the secrets within those letters were not understandable to ordinary people.

Yueyao was a very patient person, staying holed up in Lanxi Courtyard not just for half a month, but she would be fine even for a year and a half. She only learned that the Cloth Workshop was doing quite well after the old nanny from the Ma family brought her some items.

On the 18th day of the first lunar month, it was Princess Wanhe’s birthday, the only legitimate daughter and favorite of Prince Duan, who had been titled as Commandery Princess since the age of six, truly the darling of the heavens. Every birthday for her was celebrated grandly at Prince Duan’s Mansion.

The Wife of the Heir of Marquis Jingning, Madam Ping, and Mingzhu wearing garments tailor-made from the Cloth Workshop attended Princess Wanhe’s birthday feast. As soon as they arrived, they became the center of attention, and after the banquet, the Cloth Workshop received numerous orders.

Yueyao felt it was too early to discuss this issue, knowing that only by creating clothes that everyone loved could she truly establish herself in the Capital City. However, this wasn’t Yueyao’s worry, she planned to focus on designing more patterns for clothes, and also had sent a message for Yuehuan to draw more as well.

The next evening, Yueyao received Yuehuan’s stuff. A thick stack of drafts, containing not only over forty designs for garments but also forty styles of jewelry. Moreover, Yuehuan had written quite a few ideas for the Ready-to-wear Shop and the Rouge Shop.

It was Hong Mei, Yuehuan’s Senior Maid, who sent the items out, naturally aware of them. But since Yuehuan had once helped her greatly, without Yuehuan’s approval, she wouldn’t reveal anything about her.

Yuehuan knew that her own Personal Maid couldn’t avoid knowing her affairs; after sending the items out, she approached Hong Mei and said, "You already know about today’s matters."

Hong Mei nodded, "Miss, actually I have long known that you intended to befriend the Third Young Lady, so I didn’t tell Maternal Auntie about the private contacts you had with her before," realizing only today that it was not as simple as it seemed.

Yuehuan hid nothing anymore. There was no need to, and it was also a test of Hong Mei’s loyalty, "The fifty silver I gave to your brother when he was in trouble, I borrowed from the Third Young Lady."

Hong Mei was extremely surprised, "Miss...if you had money, why did you borrow from the Third Young Lady? That doesn’t make sense!"

Yuehuan gave a bitter smile, "You might not know, but the three thousand silver that grandmother gave me for my dowry has already been given to Madam, and ironically, it was Maternal Auntie who persuaded me to do so." This was something Hong Mei did not know, but now Yuehuan felt she needed to inform her.
