An Wangfei immediately said to Née Liu, âWhy donât you tell your niece to accept them? Theyâre just objects, playthings for the child.â
That was true. Under everyoneâs eyes, she didnât speak of marriage, so what was the harm?
Née Liu thought of this and told Zi You, âAccept them then. Besides, Wangfei has plenty of good things. You have one pair, but Wangye can buy eight or ten more pairs for her.â
Everyone laughed. The atmosphere was lively.
Some other furens came over. They asked where Zi You bought her clothes from and also gave her gifts.
Zi You calmly replied and declined the gifts. She only accepted them with Née Liuâs permission.
When they heard that Zi Youâs clothing were modeled after the ethnic clothing her mother left for her and personally modified, everyone marveled at Zi Youâs ingenuity. Then they asked if she knew medicine. They heard earlier Zi You asking Duke Yongnan furen if Shizi was better after using her medicine. Everyone wanted to know if Zi You could treat illnesses.
Zi You modestly replied, âI am currently learning. To learn all of motherâs medical skills, Iâm afraid I still need time and experience.â
At this time, Minister of Revenue furen, who was Yu LanXuanâs Di mother, laughed peculiarly and ridiculed, âAiyo! Why is a noble xiaojie learning medicine? Arenât doctors part of the lowest social class?â
The atmosphere quieted down again. Many people looked at Zi You, waiting for her to become hostile or embarrassed.
