Chapter 41 Moonlight Goddess, White Clouds Floating, Part 1
Zi You did not know that Nanny Luo was secretly worried. She took out the silver needle she was carrying and wiped it with alcohol. This was her weapon. At a crucial moment, she could kill with it.
Zi You took out drawing paper and began drawing the silver needle as a hairpin she could wear. If she had a sharp hairpin in her hair, she could have taught that scoundrel a lesson in the market. She wouldn’t have ended up lagging behind.
Another thing, she had to train the slaves she bought tomorrow. She needed to prepare a training manual.
In the morning, Uncle Jiang who was Uncle You’s Deputy General, would teach the slaves martial arts. In the afternoon, she would personally teach them medicine. At night, she had to teach Shui YouLian Indian dancing. Whether Mu YingRui could be successfully seduced, this dance was very crucial.
In addition, the dance choreography, musical score and musical instruments for the Indian dance her mother left behind, she would retrieve after five days. If she added in tens of silvers more, the time would be shortened by two or three days.
Mother left two Indian musical instruments behind but it was too few. If it was played with only them, the effect would be poor.
These three days, she would first teach Shui YouLian the basic dance steps of the Indian dance. When the instruments were ready, then she could officially rehearse.
Zi You was quietly drawing and writing. It was only after hai shi [9-11 pm], she leaned back with a tiny smile into the arms of Nanny Luo who had been urging her to rest. She softly said, “Nanny, do you know I’m very happy today? Because as long as I can train these slaves well, I can protect grandfather and uncle from harm.”
Nanny Luo did not understand. Why would Old General Mu and young General Mu need the weak Xiaojie to protect them? So she patted Zi You and said pamperingly, “My dear Xiaojie! As long as you’re not hurt, Old General and young General would pray to Buddha. They don’t need you to protect them. Go to bed quickly. Sleeping so late every night, you won’t grow taller.”

Zi You stretched her waist and smiled sweetly, like the moonlight’s brilliance pouring into the room. “Nanny, I want to practice fencing for a while. You sleep first. Let the maidservants remain.”
She then picked up her sword and went into the courtyard.
The moonlight was like water, pouring into the courtyard and bathing the fragrant osmanthus trees. The small yellow flowers were shrouded in a layer of silvery light, with an elegant aroma, very dream-like.
Zi You was calmly quiet. With her sword in the air, like a dragon emerging from water, she flew onto the tops of the osmanthus treetops...
In a flash, Nanny Lou seemed to have seen autumn water fell from the sky and turned into the infinite Milky Way. Graceful nimble movements sometimes scattering in the sky, sometimes landing on the ground, sometimes turning into silver lights scattered into thousands of stars shining bright.
Brilliant bright light. Cool and refreshing autumn wind. Her white-clothed figure was like floating snowflakes.
“ShiYun, MoYun, HaiYun, ShuiYun, go pick some osmanthus. Tomorrow we’ll make osmanthus cakes to eat.”
When the sounds of the black-naped Oriole started chirping, they only saw a silver ribbon rotating non-stop surrounding the four maidservants and Nanny Lou around the osmanthus trees. They only felt the whole courtyard air full of fragrance. The osmanthus flowers were falling onto their bodies.
Old General Mu walked into the courtyard just to see the white-clad Zi You like a white cloud floating.
