"Old lady!" Red Jade's eyes turned red and tears were about to fall.

A mother in a silvery-red suit hurried over and grabbed Red Jade's arm, smiling as she said, "The bride has a lot of good fortune in tears, don't cry and waste your makeup."

It seemed like the only one who could say this was the Blessed Lady.

In my previous life, although I had the experience of being a wife, I had never been married. If you want me to talk about the rules of the wedding, I can't, either. Thus, I had the shop send me a copy of the process to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Red Jade was already crying as she held her grandmother's hand.

"What does it look like to be standing in this corridor? Let's go inside! " I smiled as I supported my grandmother into the room. Mother Du naturally took a step back and gave the seat next to my grandmother to Red Jade.

A rustling sound accompanied the footsteps of the red jade.

She wore a gold crown of silk flowers, and a small, white pearl and leaf gold leaf hung from the top of her head. Her hair was tied up in a bun with a golden hairpin, and she had a pair of small lilac earrings hanging from her ears. "Her face was painted snow-white, the tears flowing down her cheeks. A piece of the rouge on her mouth had somehow fallen off. At the moment, she looked rather miserable.

Helping her grandmother to sit on the kang in the inner room, Red Jade bowed down and said in a choked voice, "Red Jade has lost her parents since she was young and grew up in front of the Old Ancestor. "Hong Yu is going out, so you should kowtow three times to the old lady."

This was a friendship between master and servant. There was no reason for Grandmother to stop it. She smiled as she sat on the brick bed and received the red jade's salute.

I remembered the two thin seals of red that had been lying on my grandmother's kang table the night before. They were supposed to contain banknotes.

Grandma winked at Mother Du, who quickly took out a mahogany box and respectfully handed it to her.

Grandmother took the box and opened it. Inside was a pair of shiny gold hairpins. Although there were no gems or ornaments on her body, they were made of pure gold and shone brightly under the sun's rays.

I looked up at the reaction of the people in the room.

When the Blessed Mother saw the startled look on Jin Chai's face, she stared blankly for a while before recovering. The maidservants by my grandmother's side and my side only had a stunned look on their faces the moment they opened the box. Their expressions immediately returned to normal. The maidservants standing at the back of the shop normally served her, but when they saw that the golden hairpin's expression didn't change at all, it seemed like it was normal.

There were only two possibilities for this. The first was that these maidservants had worked in wealthy families that were more prosperous than the Yang family and had seen many of these gold and jade devices. The second was that the official customers in the shop were not ordinary and had shown them.

In White City, the Yang family was a wealthy family. Even an official's home couldn't be compared to a family of eunuchs, not to mention a family that would casually release a large number of trained maids.

It was obviously because the people who came and went in this shop were either rich or noble.

I became more and more suspicious of the way the shop had made its money. It wasn't as if there weren't any profitable businesses. In fact, it could even be said that the river workers' karma was a completely profitless business. However, he had never heard of a teahouse that could make money every day. If that was the case, then the money in this world was too easy to earn.

At the end of the day, I still feel that this money cannot be exposed to the public.

If it was as Shopkeeper Xiao had said, then it would be fine as long as it was the contact point for the King's information flow. But once the King's influence fell, I can say that I didn't know about the relationship between Shopkeeper Xiao and the King's men. Thinking about it, the account book that Shopkeeper Xiao sent to me was delivered by him to the government. At that time, I could take out the account book and confirm that it was the account book that I received.

However, if the Lord of Heaven were to store something in my shop, or to hide someone, I would have no way to explain myself. No matter what I say, the title deed says my name. I was deceived, but it was a crime of concealment, and at the same time, it was a conspiracy.

It seems that I must talk to the King about this in due time!

Although I admired the way he fought his fate, and even I was struggling to turn it around, I had never intended to join him on his ship, sharing honor and disgrace.

When she came back to her senses, the pair of golden hairpins on her temples had already been replaced by the pair of golden hairpins that Grandmother had given her. They were bright and elegant, carrying a dignified air with them.

The rest of the people in the room had already retreated, leaving my grandmother's mother, Du, and the green bandit by my side to wait on them. Grandmother sat on the brick bed with red jade in her hand, asking her about her life after she arrived at the shop, such as whether she had eaten well, whether she had slept soundly, and whether anyone in the shop had made things difficult for her. Hong Yu smiled and answered one by one. Every word of her answer was very appropriate, both reassuring and tactfully thanking me.

Red Jade talked about how she was sold into the mansion as a child, how she was taken in by her grandmother, and even taught her how to be a person. Her eyes reddened, and from time to time, tears flowed from her eyes, causing her grandmother to feel sad as she held her hand.

If Grandmother was truly hysterical, then it would be the worst for her to be sad and overjoyed.

I held on to Hong Yu's hand and took out a handkerchief from my bosom to wipe away her tears. I coquettishly smiled at Grandmother. "You're really something!" He clearly knew that today was the day that his elder sister left the pavilion, and he still said that these things caused her to feel sad! Look at your sister's makeup. When the Hua Zhen comes over, I'll see how you'll compensate your sister! "

Grandmother looked a little embarrassed, as if she had really delayed the time of the bridal sedan on the red jade.

I specifically told Mother Song to choose a later hour to pick up the red jade, so that she could leave some time for Grandmother to speak.

Hong Yu giggled and teased me, "Miss, how do you even know that? Old lady, please don't believe it. The bridal sedan will be here for a long time! "

"Why can't I know?" I mischievously looked at the red jade, "But elder sister, why do you remember it so clearly?"

I smilingly looked at the red jade and asked her seriously, "Elder sister, have you already looked at that list a few times?"

Hong Yu's face turned red, she turned around and said: "You are still a young miss! Why are you saying all these things! "

I saw from behind that her ears were red.

I have had such a little girl, and I have had such a feeling for marriage; but it is impossible to have such a proper marriage.

In this life, I will not and will not marry again.

I don't want to taste those days when you're just being careful and worrying about your personal gains and losses.

"Go and call them in. It should be more lively here!" I instructed the green bandits and personally helped Red Jade to sit in front of the makeup table.

Seeing that the person from before had entered, I called her over. "Go and wash Hongyu's face and put on some makeup!"

The mother smiled and bowed to me. She took a large towel and spread it on her shoulders while a maid came to serve me with a basin of water.

This kind of training was even more orderly than the inner chambers of the Yang family.

Taste was not only judged by the way one dressed, the way one talked and acted. Even the servants and stewards of the mansion could tell what was going on.

However, in just a few short months, he had been able to train these young maidservants to such an extent. This was indeed a heavenly fortune. He looked frivolous, but he was definitely hiding something.

After washing her face and putting on her makeup, Hong Yu sat upright on a chair and listened to everyone talk at once. The Blessed One was a very quick-witted person. With a few words, everyone laughed, and there was a burst of laughter in the room. Grandmother's status was the highest. Although everyone praised the luxurious marriage arranged by Hong Yu, they did not forget to flatter Grandmother's benevolence and consideration. After saying those words, Grandmother grinned from ear to ear.

The maidservant brought a bowl of rice, and the blessed man handed it over to Red Jade. Red Jade took a big mouthful, and the Blessed Man received the bowl with a smile, and split it into two packets.

I smiled and wondered what it was.

All Blessed One held the red jade in front of the mirror and made a face while making up his makeup.

His face was painted white and his two cheeks were painted red. His eyebrows were already thick and dark, and the blubber on his mouth was no different from the red of a wedding. One couldn't tell his original delicate appearance.

Looking at the red jade's attire, I couldn't help but smile. It seemed that it was good that we weren't married. At the very least, I didn't have to make myself look like this.

When this thought appeared in my mind, I couldn't help but be stunned. Since when was I able to view the past in such a calm manner?

"All of you can leave. I have something to tell the bride." Grandmother smiled.

When the others heard this, they smiled and glanced at Hong Yu, then saluted and left one after another.

I remembered what was written on the list. This segment is called 'Rites'. I was a little doubtful, what kind of rule is this? However, I was too busy with the dowry list later on that I forgot about it

When I saw that everyone in the house had already left, except for me and Lu Kuo, I couldn't sit still.

Should I go out or not?

I turned my head to look at Green Bandits. Clearly, Green Bandits was in a dilemma.

"Why aren't you going out yet?" Grandmother looked up and asked when she saw me still sitting there.

"Oh." I stood up to rescue her, and Rookie quickly followed me out. She turned around and closed the door for Grandmother and Red Jade.

It was only when he was outside that he remembered. He had forgotten to salute before he came out.

I turned back to Lu Kuo. "What do they want to say? And you want to chase me out too? "

Lu Kui was also at a loss. After a moment of consideration, he said, "The old lady probably wants to talk about the dowry with Big Sister Hongyu!"

Laughter came from behind.

I looked back and saw that the lucky man was standing behind me, covering his mouth with a smile.

"Mom!" I called out with a smile.

"Miss!" She kneeled down and pointed at the door with a smile, "When you are getting married, you will naturally know what to say!"

I suddenly understood!

No wonder it was called the Rites!

He was teaching Zhou Gong's gift!

This was so embarrassing! Not only did I linger in the house, but I questioned him.

To think that I'm boasting about seeing through the wind and moon, and not asking about the mortal world.

When that old woman saw that my face was flushed, her laughter became even more intense.

"Miss, what is it?"

"How would I know?" I stammered. He shook her hand away in panic.

The young maidservants lowered their heads in shyness, and the married women began to laugh.
