Ah, she hated this ceremony the most. After Gu Dai took her from the valley, she had undergone training from a relative, an old woman in the Xian estate named Xian Chen. Xinyi recalled how she messed things up. Chen taught her the Tea Ceremony Crash Course 101 and an Etiquette of a Noble Lady Kindergarten Lesson for two hours daily.
"You must serve tea as a new bride. Be careful not to bend so low as you serve. Always keep an amiable air and modesty. Don't show your teeth when you smile. You must serve tea to your mother-in-law since the father-in-law has expired, then…blah blah blah…"
"Do I really need to spend so much effort just for a tea ceremony? Can I just give them a cup each and finish?" Xinyi complained while sitting behind a desk with a book in front of her.
"No, you must learn to act and serve as a proper lady, befitting for the governor's wife."
