Chapter 418 - 418 413 Wet Nurse
?Chapter 418: Chapter 413: Wet Nurse Chapter 418: Chapter 413: Wet Nurse Mrs. Chu chuckled, “No wonder it’s so good, I’ll send her another jar of wine, wishing her a long life of a hundred years.” She added, “Xuan’er had previously mentioned to me that I should find a good nanny for Yan. I happen to have one here, Mrs. Huang. She has always served me in the palace, but she is a little old, already forty-three this year. If it won’t work, I can ask the imperial grandmother in the palace for a younger one.”
The suggestion to find a mentor for Chu Hanyan was actually proposed by Chen Afu to Chu Lingxuan. The little girl was already six years old, and being too kind and simple, even if she tried hard to teach her, she wouldn’t become very savvy when she grew up. In addition, she didn’t understand the intricacies of the inner court, so she couldn’t teach her these things.
Girls living in large houses could remain illiterate, but they must understand the ways of survival within the household. Especially for a good natured girl like her, she needs a savvy, loyal nanny who is well-versed in the ways of the inner court to instruct and serve her.
Mrs. Huang was standing next to Mrs. Chu, bowing her head as if she hadn’t heard her mistress’s words. She was one of Mrs. Chu’s two most capable nannies, and she would indeed be a good choice. Although she was older, she could still work for a decade or so. The first ten years were the most important growing period for the girl, so Mrs. Huang could educate her about the intricacies of households. After the girl was married and served for a few more years, clearing the evil influences from her husband’s side, she could then train a successor and retire honorably.
Chen Afu glanced at Mrs. Huang, hugged Mrs. Chu’s arm and laughed, “Mrs. Huang is your favorite person, efficient and capable. Can you bear to part with her?”
Mrs. Chu laughed, “Mrs. Huang has served me for over twenty years, she’s faithful and easy to work with, and I do feel somewhat reluctant to let her go. However, Yan has suffered a lot in the past, and she is kind-hearted, I feel sorry for her from the bottom of my heart, and I want her to have a better life in the future.”
She then said to Mrs. Huang, “The eldest daughter is young and kind-hearted. If you instruct her well, she will provide for your old age, and you will have days of enjoyment.”
