Early in the morning, after having breakfast in Old Madam Yan's courtyard, Daohua followed Ping Tong toward the Virtue and Art Court where the young ladies usually had their lessons.
Since Wang Manman was newly purchased and understood many rules and etiquettes, Madam Li had Ping Tong accompany Daohua and bring Wang Manman along in passing.
The Virtue and Art Court, though called a courtyard, actually consisted of only a few rooms; the main room was used as the parlor for the ladies' classes, and the wing room was Master Qin's residence.
By the time Daohua arrived, Yan Yihuan, Yan Yishuang, and Yan Yile had already gotten there.
Apart from them, there were three other young girls in the parlor.
The three girls were around eight or nine years old, one being the daughter of the Deputy County Magistrate Xu Keke, one being the daughter of the instructor Zhu Xiuyun, and one being the daughter of Xian Wei's daughter, Fan Siran.
