Chapter 315: For Whom Does She Dress Up (4)_1
"In reply to your question, young miss, my daughter and I have some proficiency in traditional feminine skills, such as musical instruments, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework. My family used to be in the textile business, so I’m familiar with the ins and outs of weaving and dyeing." In order to stay and provide a stable life for her family, Chen’s mother listed all the skills she possessed.
She was afraid, afraid that Lin Ziyin would not accept her and sell her and her daughter separately. Servants like them, with tattoos on their faces, considered finding a master nothing short of a divine blessing. Seeing that their prospective mistress appeared kind and seemed to bear no malice, she truly wished to stay.
"After supper, you can demonstrate your skills in the workshop. If you’re as competent as you say, you can then teach the maids at the school, in addition to playing the qin." Lin Ziyin said.
Upon hearing that she would be made a female teacher, Chen’s mother was startled, and then she felt overjoyed.
"Thank her quickly." Xu Lianfa reminded his wife.
"Your servant thanks you, young miss." Overwhelmed with joy, Chen’s mother burst into tears, then her thoughts returned to her daughter, and a worried look crossed her face.
"I have many workshops that would be suitable for your young daughter, she can choose what interests her, and soon, I will open another workshop where she might be needed as a leader. For now, she should focus on learning." Lin Ziyin explained calmly.
"We are grateful to the young miss." Everyone in the Xu family, except for the old man on the bed, knelt and bowed to Lin Ziyin.
"However, I must clarify that while I can provide you with an opportunity, there will be no mercy for those who betray me." Lin Ziyin sternly informed them.
