I don't know why, but it's always been a bit sad these days.
Thinking about what happened in my previous life, I couldn't help but laugh.
What was all this compared to before?
I walked with my mother as she escorted the last of the guests out of the house. We walked side by side on the way back to my grandmother's courtyard.
"It's good that you can take care of your sister!" My mother smiled and nodded at me, but her eyes were guarded.
My heart was filled with bitterness, but I didn't dare to reveal it on my face.
"It was elder sister Lu Kui and elder sister Lan Li who came out of Grandmother's courtyard to teach me." I pretended to be happy and smiled as I spoke to my mother.
The mother smiled in satisfaction. However, her face was soon covered in a look of disappointment. She muttered in a low voice, "She is such a smart person, why …"
The pain was like a huge wave surging over my heart, making me dizzy!
She was talking about my birth mother. Mother was sighing at her mother's intelligence and consideration. How could she have given birth to such a foolish person like me?
I wonder how mother is doing in the manor all by herself!
Although it was Grandmother's manor, in the end, it was still a rural area that lacked clothing and food!
Thinking of this, my heart couldn't help but ache. However, I forced myself to hold on, not daring to let my mother discover any clues.
Fortunately, my mother started to talk to my mother about the birthday presents from other families, so my mother didn't pay any more attention to my abnormal behavior.
"All the gifts from the outer court will be sent to our family's storehouse. The gifts from the inner court will be sent to the old lady!" His mother's faint smile was very serene.
This birthday present was something worth paying attention to!
For an ordinary family, the male lead would usually bring them a congratulatory gift, and for those close to them, the male lead would prepare a regular gift and the female servant a private gift. Most of the things a man brought with him were mainly valuable, while those that were sent from the inner chamber were mostly exquisite and suited to the host's preferences.
There was no difference between flowing into the Yang family's warehouse and putting into his mother's private!
Seeing the smile on my mother's face, I couldn't help but feel a little cold.
Do you think that you've done things that no one will ever know, but why don't you think about who those old mothers in charge of the warehouse are?
Hundreds of thousands of liang of liang of silver already thought that he could take her in for his own use. Unexpectedly, every single movement of his had already caught the attention of his grandmother!
Most of these old mothers who worked in the village stayed by Grandmother's side when they were young. Many of their grandchildren were all working in Grandmother's manor, and they still stayed in the manor to guard Grandmother's storehouse. It was just a submissive attitude.
The task of guarding the storeroom, though brisk, was very important. If the gatekeeper were to steal from himself, even if he spent money, he might not be able to find it!
Since it was such an important task, the people placed there must be people that Grandmother could trust.
Suddenly, there's a slight pain in my arm. Lan Ling is leaning tightly against my side.
I gave her an inquiring look.
Lan Lingyun pointed at her face, her eyes filled with worry.
I just realized it!
As I thought about all this, my mind wandered. The expression on my face must have been very obvious!
Remembering that mother Feng was always around, I quickly collected my thoughts and peeked at the servants behind my mother.
She wasn't there!
Mother always had her by her side!
I saw her close behind my mother when I saw you out.
In the blink of an eye, he had arrived at the entrance of his grandmother's courtyard. However, he still hadn't seen where his mother had come from.
"What were you looking at along the way?" My mother stepped over the threshold and looked back at me with a frown.
"Spring is just right, so I like to watch it!" I bowed my head in answer to my mother's words.
"How can you be so timid!" "You are the young miss of our Yang family!" My mother frowned at me, her tone icy.
What was going on?
Mother actually dares to despise me for the first time!
Wasn't my mother looking for a daughter with my face and everything to do with the family?
Everything I do now suits my mother's needs. How can my mother not be satisfied?
Could it be that something went wrong with the matter of sending me to the Xue Clan? Or had his mother come up with something new?
With that thought in mind, I didn't dare show it on my face.
I obediently replied, "Mother is right! Your daughter will change it in the future. "
The mother sighed, then led her servant woman away.
I heaved a sigh of relief and followed the servant woman's tail as she slowly walked forward.
By the time I entered the house, my mother and grandmother were sitting opposite each other on the kang in the inner room.
When my mother saw me coming in, she nodded and waited for me to kneel down and bow. Grandmother pointed to a plate in front of her.
She sat down next to her grandmother, and the only sounds in the room were the ticking of the outer clock, the sound of the women carrying utensils, and the sound of her mother's voice.
Lady Xu gave a white jade Guanyin, Lady Xu gave a hand to Tian Yu-fu, Second Wife gave a picture of Chen Lin's peonies and young chicken, Third Wife gave a pair of old kilns with red holes, Fourth Wife gave a rosewood longevity vase, Third Wife gave a red coral, Third Wife Jiang gave a red coral, Third Wife Jiang gave a ring with a blue head and a ring with earrings, a pair of brocade with blue phoenixes, a pair of red gold with white jade brocade, a pair of blue peacock with red hair and six white gold braids.
The gift from the Xu family's female family members was very strange!
Apparently, the eldest and third wives were in the arena, and both of them had sent similar gifts, yet they could not surpass their mother-in-law. As for Second and Fourth Wife, they avoided the limelight and chose to give conservative gifts.
It seemed that even though Madam Xu was young, she was still someone who had her own thoughts!
Although the gifts from the other madams were not cheap, they were not worth as much as the gifts from the Wen family.
After her mother had finished talking, her grandmother rubbed her forehead and said, "My head hurts from all these talking. Just look at the books and accept them into my library!"
The mother curled her lips and clenched the slip of paper tightly.
After reciting for such a long time, his mouth should have become dry, right?
Mother spent so much effort, she must have taken a fancy to the Wen family's wedding gift, right? However, in the end, it was for Grandmother. As a daughter-in-law, how could she stretch her hand into Granny's private storage?
"Oh, yes! "What color are the fabrics?" Grandmother seemed to remember something.
The mother's face lit up with a hopeful smile.
"There are green and green flowers, red and red flowers, and blue and green flowers. It is unknown how beautiful they are! "There are two of them. One is the lilac color and the other is the goose yellow. They are both thin and dense, just like a cloud!"
I couldn't help but laugh at my mother's suggestion that the fabric was bright. Was she trying to persuade Grandmother to give it to her?
Speaking of which, my mother was also a beautiful woman who was good at matching colors and good at dressing up.
It was just that this time, his mother might not be able to fulfill his wish!
After all, her grandmother had been watching so many expensive gifts that they had entered her mother's library.
"These gifts given by Madam Wen are obviously not for this old lady! "I can still wear that face, but this material is so soft and tender. How could an old woman like me wear it out?" Grandmother giggled.
With a single sentence, he had blocked off the path his mother had taken to get the jewelry.
Although his mother was a little disappointed, she still looked happy.
His mother had grown up in the Lu family and was now the matriarch of a wealthy family. What sort of material could make his mother want it so much?
I was suddenly curious.
"I would like to take a bean-green makeup flower to make a concoction for Chong Yuanyuan, the yellow yuanjin to make a pleated skirt! 15. Aren't you going to the Jiang family? Just wear this! " After a long pause, Grandmother burst out laughing.
His mother didn't give up and continued to ask with a forced smile, "What about the rest?"
Grandmother glanced at him blandly, then raised the teacup on the table and took a sip with a faint smile on her face.
"Put the rest in my library and wait for Yuanyuan to get married to make a dowry!"
Grandmother was implying that her mother had stretched out her hand too long and was about to snatch something from an old lady for her grandson and daughter.
His mother's face was flushed red. Embarrassed, she picked up the cup of tea and took a sip as well.
"Madam, your mother, Feng, is here. She said that the outer court has not dispersed yet and that Master is still accompanying you to have dinner with the Old Ancestor." Hong Chang came in and squatted down to pay her respects, and since she replied to her mother, she helped her mother.
A man who is not dexterous does not work in his grandmother's and mother's rooms.
He didn't know whether this mother Feng had come back long ago, or if she intentionally stepped on this node to say that he had come back!
His mother quickly answered and asked, "Mother, where would you like to place the rice?"
"Here it is!" Grandmother leaned against the pillow, casually instructing her mother.
"Yes sir!" His mother smiled and got off the brick bed, she wanted to go to the kitchen to prepare, while Hong Chang, who was standing by the side, quickly squatted down to help his mother carry her shoes.
His mother helped Hong Chang up, and said with a smile: "Please do not trouble Miss!"
Grandmother's face lit up a little.
The curve of his mother's back loosened, and she followed Hong Chang out of the house.
"Look at her eyes. Wait until my legs stomp on her, isn't that still hers!?" Grandmother spat at the window with disdain.
I couldn't help but pursed my lips into a smile as I pulled at my grandmother and said, "Today is your birthday! You are not allowed to be angry!"
"That's true!" Grandmother smiled as she turned her head, "You should wear that Jing Tai Lan's face at the age of 15. Let's see where she will put her face!"
If I really did this, my mother would be so angry that her mouth would be crooked!
When I thought of that scene, I also felt that it was very funny. I couldn't help but cover my sleeves and laugh along with my grandmother.
After all, grandma only said a few angry words. If she wore the Wen family's jewelry to go to the Jiang family's banquet, then there would be a lot of nasty words to spread!
Grandmother did not seem to be just casually saying, "You can bring Mother Du back later if you want to find her!"
"Grandmother!" I pulled at my grandmother's sleeve and smiled at her. "My family isn't that shabby. Why would they wear a gift to go out?"
Grandma laughed and stopped talking about it.
I sighed.
Grandmother did not say that she agreed with me, but made up her mind.
I'm afraid that as early as tonight and as late as tomorrow, the precious head will come to me.
Mother is sure to vent her anger on me!
With a pale face, I held the teacup in my hands and stared at it, trying to think of a way to tell my mother the lie.
"Kid, you're already so focused at such a young age!" Grandmother's warm hand suddenly fell on top of my head, and her voice carried a trace of pity. "I'll keep that one for you first."
Grandmother seemed to think that I was getting weaker and weaker and needed more and more protection.
But I felt that the soft place in my heart was getting smaller and smaller, and it only contained the little figure who had never called me "Mother."
Grandmother's hand caressed my back at a leisurely pace. That gentle and gentle action made my nose sour and tears came down.
