Chapter 454: 449, the first lady of China, please keep a low profile (4) Sangeng

"She’s really quite average, clueless when asked anything," Ye Mother pressed her aching head, "but she looks passable. If the second son isn’t too picky, she could barely be considered a match for him."

Upon hearing this response, Ye Father was slightly taken aback.

Barely a match?

So she’s not up to standard?

"How did Auntie Hong teach her?" Ye Father thought angrily. They were all his daughters, so why was there such a discrepancy?

He instructed Ye Mother to properly teach Shaohua some manners during this time.

Ye Mother, thinking of Shaohua’s indifferent demeanor, agreed nonchalantly.

**

The side room arranged by Ye Mother for Shaohua was very ordinary, incomparable to the courtyard filled with Ye Junwan’s valuable decorations. In fact, after Ye Junjin got married, her courtyard could have been occupied by someone else.

However, Ye Mother, thinking of Ye Junjin and her son-in-law, the bank president, eventually returning to stay, hadn’t considered Shaohua at all.

Originally she had planned to clean out a courtyard for Shaohua upon her arrival.

But having seen her now, that thought had been put to rest.

This daughter was too aloof, not even calling her ’Mother’ sweetly like Ye Junwan did, so Ye Mother was less attentive towards Shaohua.

On the other hand, the servants of the Ye Family were also discussing Shaohua.

Being perceptive, they naturally noticed that Shaohua was not favored by Lady Ye and Master Ye.

"This is the second young lady, actually returning dressed as a female student. Doesn’t she have any clothes?"

"Perhaps she didn’t have any dresses in Nanjing. You won’t believe it, but when I helped her with her luggage, she had very few clothes and brought over a huge box of books instead. It’s laughable."

"The fourth young lady has studied Western topics. What did she say? The kind of readings the second young lady does are called... ’dead books’!"

This is China now; the rules of the Ye Family aren’t that strict.

There aren’t that many servants in each courtyard either.

But there are quite a few guards and sentries.

Not long after Shaohua returned, Junwan sent several Western dresses to her.

Auntie Hong had never seen such clothes before.

She took the clothes, somewhat dumbfounded, "What are these? Are they wearable?"

Seeing a dress that exposed arms, Auntie Hong quickly put the clothes down, "Are these dresses damaged?"

Seeing Auntie Hong’s ignorance, Junwan’s maid’s eyes, which were cast down, couldn’t help but flash with scorn. She thought to herself that without any sophistication, how could one not recognize the most fashionable Western dresses in Shen City, and even ask if they are damaged?

"Auntie Hong, these clothes aren’t damaged at all. You haven’t seen them in Nanjing; these are Western dresses," Junwan’s maid glanced disdainfully at Auntie Hong, "It’s also because our Lady is acquainted with people from foreign firms, otherwise you wouldn’t be able to lay hands on such dresses. What do you mean by damaged? The renowned ladies of Shen City all wear such dresses."

Upon hearing the maid’s words, Auntie Hong realized her lack of sophistication, her face reddened slightly with an embarrassed smile.

Filled with socialist rhetoric about everyone being equal, instilled by Junwan, the maid rolled her eyes at Auntie Hong.

She didn’t feel much respect for this newly returned second young lady, either.

Auntie Hong’s face stiffened as she sensed the maid’s attitude towards her.

"Take them back; I won’t wear such clothes." Shaohua, holding a book and expressionless, came out and handed the Western dresses back to the haughty maid, then slammed the door shut with a "bang".

Just as Auntie Hong was about to say something, Shaohua put a finger to her lips, indicating silence.

Auntie Hong found the current Shaohua more and more enigmatic, but she had no choice but to let her be.

"Junwan, I heard your second elder sister has returned?" Li Qiuyan, one of the four famous ladies of Shen City, asked Ye Junwan.

Ye Junwan replied with lackluster enthusiasm, "Yes, that’s right."

"I’ve heard people say your second elder sister grew up in Nanjing, is that true?"

"Yes, she came back wearing a female student’s uniform. I sent her the latest styles of Western dresses, and she actually asked if the clothes were damaged?" Junwan shook her head, "I don’t want to deal with such a feudal woman."

"I see," Li Qiuyan sighed, "but your second elder sister is really fortunate."

Even so, she’s to marry into the Tang Family.

Indeed, Junwan disdained the Tang Family’s second son, but there were plenty in Shen City who coveted him. Though not as outstanding as the elder Tang son, he was still a Tang, and the Tang Family had only two sons.

No matter what, the prospects of the Tang Family’s second son wouldn’t be dim.

Therefore, upon learning that the Ye Family’s unremarkable second young lady was to marry the Tang Family’s second son, a group of famous ladies couldn’t help but start critiquing Shaohua.

"She hasn’t even attended a Western School; I’ve been for a few years."

"After all, the Tang Family is a military clan, and the commander has been vigorously promoting Western knowledge for the development of Shen City. How can she, being what she is, match the Tang Family?"

"..."

Such rumors were circulating in Shen City.

However, when Ye Father heard these, he wasn’t angry with the rumormongers, but was furious that Shaohua was not bringing honor to him.

"Where is she?" Upon returning, Ye Father went to look for Shaohua.

But he didn’t see Shaohua, and angrily questioned Auntie Hong.

Auntie Hong, frightened, bowed, "She has gone to see her teacher..."

"What teacher?" Ye Father became even angrier upon hearing this.

A Western School placement had been arranged for her, but she refused to attend, clinging to the books she brought from Nanjing and visiting some teacher every day. Ye Father, enlightened by Junwan about the high-tech abroad, had little regard for Shaohua’s feudal teacher, "Can’t she just follow Junwan and learn? They are sisters after all; why such a discrepancy? How did you teach her?"
