Chapter 7: 6

 

Memory

"...... above the Shifu , there is also the Shizun. You can see, just from the name that the status of the Shizun is also above the Shifu, only used under some special conditions, the third young lady will not use that for the time being, I will not elaborate on it here."

TL Note: Shifu: Master ; Shizun: Venerable Master

  Chu Yu nodded her head, expressing her understanding.

Shifu is like a father- have to respect. On the other hand, the Shizun is like the ancestor, who has to be worshiped.

  Mrs. Mo talked about only the etiquette between teacher and student, the points to pay special attention to, all morning.

  Chu Yu found that her memory in this life was not bad. She remembered seventy to eighty percent.

  "Little Fish, that is all for this lesson, tomorrow I will formally teach you to practice your characters."

  "Thank you very much sir, take care." Chu Yu stood up and bowed with the etiquette she had just learned.

TL Note: Sir is gender-neutral term in many languages

  A glint of gratification flashed in Mrs. Mo's eyes, "Little fish, bye."

  ......

  When Chu Yu walked out of the study, she saw Nanny Xu waiting outside.

  At once, her eyes lit up and she immediately walked over, she hugged Nanny Xu's leg, tilted her head, and looked at her with anticipation.

  "Nanny Xu, have the pills been prepared?"

  She had researched that this particular angle was most likely to make Nanny Xu's heart go soft.

  Sure enough, without saying a word of nonsense, Nanny Xu directly took out the box that was hidden behind her,and showed it to her.

  "What Third Miss instructed me to do, I have to naturally do it at the earliest, look."

  Nanny Xu opened the box, and Chu Yu saw a dozen brown pills inside.The appearance was very ordinary. But when Chu Yu thought of these pills, which could help her get rid of the suffering of Chinese medicine, she instantly felt that this gray pill had an understated magnificence.

  "Thank you, Nanny Xu."

  Chu Yu took it as soon as she could, "I knew Nanny Xu is the best."

  The Third Madam, who had been standing aside, watching with a smile, frowned and came over, inquiring.

  "What are these pills for?"

  Nanny Xu immediately explained.

  "Third Madam, the Chinese medicine that Third Miss drank was too bitter, so I asked Doctor Xu to help me and make the medicine into pills, so that Third Miss only needs to take one pill during each of her three meals every day."

  The third madam's face was lukewarm, seemingly not joyful, instead with a hint of worry.

  "The medicine is all decocted into a medicinal soup and drunk to maximize usefulness. If it is made into a pill, will it be as effective?"

  "Third madam, rest assured, I made a point to ask Doctor Xu, Doctor Xu said that when this pill is newly made, the medicinal effect will not be lost, but with time, some of the medicinal effect will dissipate."

"So, as long as he manufactures the pills once every half month, there will be no repercussions."

Only then did the third madam nod and say, "Thank you very much, Nanny Xu."

 

  Nanny Xu also politely said, "This is all what this old slave is supposed to do."

  Chu Yu looked at their very distant and polite exchange. There was some confusion in her heart.

  It was reasonable to think that the Third Madam had been sent to the Cold Palace, so she should be quite grateful to have Nanny Xu to look after her.

  Even if she is not touched, in order to pull in Nanny Xu and make her life better, she should not have this attitude.

  The third madam added, "Nanny Xu is busy with things, so if there isn't anything more, you should leave this Qinglan Court as soon as possible."

  Chu Yu's eyes widened.

  She wanted to kick people out?

  This is too rude.

This instant mother doesn't know the world, but Chu Yu can't let Nanny Xu, who is looking out for her, feel chilled.

  Then, as if she couldn't feel the stalemate, she cheerfully said, "Then, I will go to see off Nanny Xu."

  The third lady's voice became even more faint.

  "Send off till the door, then come back, mother has prepared a sumptuous table for you."

  ......

  The old woman and the young child walked till the door and stopped.

  "Nanny Xu, thank you so much." Chu Yu puckered her mouth deliberately, like an aggrieved child.

  "Mother doesn't like you, but I like you."

  Nanny Xu's heart softened at once, sighed, squatted down and hugged Chu Yu, whispering.

  "My poor little fish."

  Chu Yu continued, "Mom cannot understand it was you who saved me, if it wasn't for those good things you sent, I wouldn't have survived until now."

  "Also, you told dad to hire me a female laoshi, I know it's all for my own good."

  "I don't understand, why does mother reject you so much?"

  "Obviously, Mother herself said that if it wasn't for your help, Nanny Xu, it's not even certain that she would have been able to give birth to me."

  This was not what the Third Madam said. It was Chu Yu's own speculation based on Third Madam's ramblings. It was very simple.

The City Lord's Mansion was such a complicated environment, and there was that damned rule of having a child to be titled. You can imagine how very important having offspring is to the women in the backyard.There should be a significant number of women who have the idea that if I don't have one, why should you have one?

How could her mother, a small village girl without the slightest foundation in the city lord's house, be able to preserve her with her own power? 

Chu Yu said so many things in so little time, Nanny Xu not only did not doubt, but was very gratified. The feelings that had been invested had been rewarded.

  "Little Fish, I knew in those times when people said you were stupid and that you didn't understand anything, that you did understand, you just couldn't express it."

  Nanny Xu recalled, "in the past, when you ate something good, you would deliberately leave some to share with me, after I have been teaching you many times, you understood that food will expire after a certain period of time ......"

  With Nanny Xu's narration, in Chu Yu's mind many fragments of memory emerged.

"The wooden carp sculpture that my father gave me, Nanny Xu, do you still have it with you?" She subconsciously asked.

  Nanny Xu was surprised, "Little Fish, you still remember?"

  She hastily pulled open her collar and yanked out a small wooden carving in the shape of a carp.

  "Nanny has, of course, been carrying it, this is the amulet that Little Fish gave me after all."

Then, Chu Yu spoke about some more scattered fragments of memories. Nanny Xu's eyes burst into tears of joy.

  "So, little fish, you remembered all along."

Chu Yu honestly shook her head, "I don't remember all of it, only some scattered memories."

  Nanny Xu hugged Chu Yu.

  "It's good to even remember some, I'm not forcing it."

  She did not see that the little girl she was holding showed a faint smile. Chu Yu knew very well that she could not pretend to be a five year old girl forever. And she was not willing to spend the few years she had until she grew up and married out and hence had freedom of movement, before she started doing what she wanted to do. But no one would believe that a little girl could do anything.

She needed a helper. She did not choose the Third Lady as this helper, but Nanny Xu. In addition to the reason that Nanny Xu was not confined to the backyard and can go out, there is also the original body's wholehearted trust in Nanny Xu.

  Now, Chu Yu hugged Nanny Xu and her body instinctively did not have any rejection. The original body was a fool, but perhaps because she is a fool, what she sensed was the most true. After all, No one will deliberately disguise themselves in front of a fool.
