I threw the pen on the table, folded my hands behind my head, and laid down on the arhat chair. I closed my eyes leisurely and asked, "Why aren't you asking me if you have something to say?"

"Yes sir!" Lan Lingyun hurriedly and happily came over to pour me a cup of tea. "What did the Madam say to you?"

I thought about it. There were things I didn't want to say that I hadn't decided yet.

The words circulated in my mind and I chose an ambiguous way of speaking. "I'm afraid we'll have to hear some news from the Xue Manor someday."

After listening to my answer, Lan Li pondered for a while, and understood the uncertainty in my words. She didn't ask any further, and instead smilingly asked, "It's getting late, so I'll have to wait on Miss to change her clothes!"

I smiled in refusal and took out an ordinary letter from the drawer. "I have to write another one."

Lan Li said no more, and continued to grind the ink with a smile.

After moistening my brush, a smile appeared on my face.

Ever since I took the jade pendant, I've been trying to figure out what use this one has. That day, when Lu Ping's elder brother came to fetch her, I specially asked Lu Ping about the origins of the jade pendant. To my disappointment, he didn't seem to know anything about it. I carefully observed his expression, but it didn't seem to be fake.

Even though Prince Qi seemed like a playboy king, he was still a proud man. Since he gave me this jade pendant, he wouldn't use such a method to make things difficult for me. Other than him, who else could make things difficult for me? The answer was obvious at a glance.

I curled my lips. Such an honest looking person would actually play such a trick on me. If Lu Ping's brother hadn't said, "You still lack money," I wouldn't have thought to look at the account books that were sent over from the shop.

In the letter, I began by praising him greatly for being an old man and understanding the affairs of the world. Then I changed the subject and asked directly if Ziji knew. He had long since broken his promise to me, and I, who owned the thrift shop, was running out of money every day. Does Zixiu know that I, a weak woman, hold the close to the Lord of the Rites and am always on tenterhooks? Since this jade pendant is useless in my hands, I might as well go to the market and solve my urgent problem.

I read it back and forth a few times, making sure that no one else would know it even if they read it. I only thought that the shopkeeper in my shop had made up a fake account to give it to me, to the annoyance of my boss. After writing to him, I took an envelope and put it on with 'Shopkeeper Xiao's Own'.

By the time I finished writing the letter, it was already quite late. Lan Ya had helped me to take off my plain coat and put on a thick satin tunic.

Lan Li smacked her lips with the jacket, while the Green Bull also held a corner of the coat. The two of them looked closely under the lamp, and sighed at the same time.

The ink had already seeped into the material under the sleeve. It was not charred like before, but more like a lotus leaf stuck in the sleeve.

I got out of bed and went down with my shoes on and stood with the two maidservants looking at the little coat.

Why didn't I think of it earlier!

Taking the jacket from the two maidservants, I went straight to the inner room.

"Quick!" Give me the light! " I greeted the two maidservants with a smile.

The two of them looked at each other, and the Green Bandits came up to them and advised, "Miss, it's getting late, let's write early tomorrow. Be careful of the eyes. "

"Who told you I was going to write? I want to embroider flowers! " Laughing, I directed the two maidservants to light the lamps and turn them into ink.

He took out a large woolen brush and dyed his clothes piece by piece. Then, he used clear water to make the ink even more beautiful, dyeing out the lotus seed heads and Mo He's clothes.

Lan Ling said with a sad face, "It was originally just a dirty corner, but now I can't wear it anymore!" Green Buccaneer stood behind me and pursed his lips into a smile, obviously seeing through what was going on.

I pointed at Lan Lingyun and sighed. "Smart is smart! It's a little less intelligent! "

Lan Li didn't understand what I meant. She kept asking me what I meant. Lu Ke and I looked at each other and smiled.

"Since you understand, I will hand the clothes over to you! You go wash up and bring it back. " I handed the jacket to the green bandit and went straight back to the inner room.

"Let's go!" "Idiot!" Behind me, the green bandit poked Lan Li with his finger and followed me into the inner room with a smile.

After extinguishing the light, Lan Li, who was lying on the couch, couldn't help but ask, "Miss, why is it that this servant lacks the wisdom root?"

I laughed and went to sleep, ignoring her.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw a piece of gray paper in front of him. The sound of water dripping could be heard as raindrops fell onto the roof of the house.

Dressed in a goose-yellow thimble, I went to the kang and looked at the clock.

On the other hand, I woke up early!

Sitting on the kang and watching me make grandmother's forehead, I felt a little guilty. It was only thirteen days before Grandmother's birthday, and the Lan and the Green Buccaneer sections were ready, leaving only mine to begin with. I smiled and blushed. This was truly a situation where one did not even have the chance to push someone down.

The girl had been gone for more than a month. It seemed like it was time to call Gong Er's wife back into the house.

According to the rules, a year was a year, but it was not within the law!

He had embroidered the stamen of the peony flower with golden threads and found it extremely sour. When I raised my head, I discovered that Lan Lingyun had already woken up. She was just like me, wearing her clothes and giving me face in those embroidered shoes.

"Why didn't you call me when you woke up?" I smiled at Lan.

Lan Li turned around and put on her clothes. Then she came to me, bent down, and put on my shoes.

I pointed at the clock in the outer room, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. "Look! Today, we missed another hour! "

"It's raining so heavily outside, why are you still greeting me?"

I glared at her.

The rainy weather made it all the more depressing, and I should have gone to talk to my grandmother. If he didn't go because it rained, wouldn't that be what his mother had said he was?

"Miss!" The green bandit walked in with some water vapor on his body. He placed the umbrella at the door and said, "Send a message from the old lady's house that it's raining heavily today. Miss, there's no need to go."

The green bandit saw me sitting on the kang with a chamois wrapped around my neck and a small brocade draped over my knees.

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. Did you see me sitting on the brick bed? Did you think that I wouldn't go with the flow?

I lifted the covers off the floor.

"Hurry up and change my clothes!" I pulled the green bandit into the screen and sent Lan Lingyun on her way. "Tell the kitchen to make a ginger soup. I want to bring it to Grandmother."

After changing their clothes, the three of them each drank a bowl of ginger soup with brown sugar. Their bodies became extremely warm as they held up three umbrellas and entered their grandmother's courtyard.

Grandmother and Mama Du were standing on the porch, admiring the rain.

Grandmother walked in the door with my hands behind her back, a smile on her face. "Didn't I tell you not to? Why are you still coming in the rain?"

"I thought Grandmother was bored inside so I wanted to come and take a look."

Grandmother reached out her hand to touch me. She frowned and turned her head. "Go and find a set of clothes for Eldest Miss to change into." Mama Du smiled in agreement.

I wore a pea-green raspberry embroidered with a dainty spring camellia, accentuated by a dozen raindrops.

Mother Du brought a set of bright red clothes covered in gold. I looked at it and quickly refused. "However, the rain has dampened my clothes. It will dry up soon. I don't think there's a need to change."

"You child! How can you wear wet clothes! " Grandmother herself took the clothes to change for me.

"No need! "No need!" I refused while dodging back and forth.

When Mother Du saw this, she covered her mouth and laughed: "Miss doesn't like this color!"

Grandmother's hand paused, lowered her eyes, and asked me in a low voice, "You don't like these clothes?" He looked as wronged as he could possibly be.

"No!" "No!" I shook my hand in denial.

"Then wear it!" Grandmother looked up and laughed.

I couldn't help stroking my forehead as my grandmother pulled me behind the screen.

Grandmother must have been very lovable when she was young. Just based on this smile, every move she made was hard to hide her charm even when she was old.

After changing my clothes, Grandmother put her arm around me and stood in front of the mirror. She smiled at me in the mirror and said, "Look! How beautiful are you in red! "

With just that one sentence, Grandma's eyes reddened. A single tear rolled in her eye socket, but it did not fall.

"Grandmother, what's wrong?" I turned and took my grandmother's hand and stared at her in concern.

"I'm fine!" "I'm fine!" "Mother Du quickly passed a handkerchief to wipe her grandmother's tears." I saw you think of your mother. "

I touched the clothes on my body. It turned out to be my mother's old clothes.

I had lived in Grandmother's yard, but I had taken it with me when I moved back to my own, and I didn't like the color. I had just taken it out and wondered why Grandmother had taken a girl's dress with her.

I wonder how my mother is doing in the manor?

Mother had already lived in the manor for four months.

"Grandmother!" I helped Grandmother out of the screen and sat on the brick bed. I poured a bowl of ginger soup I had brought for Grandmother.

"How about we bring Aunt Wang back?" I looked eagerly at Grandmother.

My grandmother looked at me but didn't answer.

"I often communicate with the young miss of the Jiang family. A few days ago, she told the Prince that she has already brought the princess back to the capital." I smiled at my grandmother.

"Let's talk about this later!" Grandmother picked up the bowl and took a sip, replying to me indifferently.

I had expected that my grandmother would not agree, and I was not too disappointed.

"You know my second wife in the house. It has already been a month since that incident. Why don't you let her return to continue working?"

If you refuse the first thing, you might as well refuse the second as well.

Grandmother laughed and tapped my forehead. "You little brat, you even know what Grandmother is saying!"

I giggled as I pulled my grandmother aside for a while.

They had breakfast together and discussed how to rearrange the furnishings in Grandmother's room. They also changed the color of the curtains, the style of the furniture, and the people's calligraphy and paintings, which made them quite happy.

After lunch, grandma lay down on the bed. Grandmother held my hand and said with a smile, "Stay in the yard tonight. The roads are slippery in the rain. Don't fall! If you continue to disobey me, I'll be angry! "

I smiled in agreement, and told my mother to bring warm food to my grandmother that evening. My mother responded in kind, and escorted me to the gate with an umbrella.

As soon as he entered the room, he saw a familiar figure sitting on his feet, working on needlework.

The moment I entered the room, that figure immediately came over to welcome me. A pair of warm hands tightly held onto me as he smiled and said, "Miss, you've returned!"

"Sister Gong!"
