As he entered the main hall, he could hear from afar the sound of laughter continuously coming from behind the curtain of the lake blue embroidered cranes.

"Old Ancestor, the young miss has come to pay her respects! Big Sister Hongyu is back! " Hong Chang stood at the door ahead of us, and reported in happily.

"Quick, let her in!" A burst of feminine laughter filled the room.

I thought.

I don't know if she was talking about me or Red Jade.

"Young mistress, please enter first!" Red Jade after me a step, submissively smiled to ask me to go first.

I smiled and nodded.

Grandmother was reclining on the kang in her red brocade brocade pillow. She was wearing a bright red, silver cicadas with a tortoiseshell, a crepe jacket, and a pair of plum-colored dresses with twelve brocades tied under it. The map of the Eight Immortals was embroidered on the silver thread and shone brilliantly in the sunlight.

Even though she clearly knew that Hongyu wasn't a high-ranking marriage, her grandmother still intentionally put on such a show.

Should I praise Grandmother for being meticulous or for worrying so much?

His mother was sitting on the brick bed opposite him. She had a beautiful peony bun and wore a new gold-leaf lily crown. Under her golden hair band, there were many different colored gems inlaid in them. They were small and shiny.

Hong Yu was truly a proud maidservant in front of Grandmother. Even her mother had to dress up like this.

His mother was the manager's mother, so she came to join in on the fun. Her meaning was different from his grandmother's.

The woman sitting on her mother's platform had a simple bun on her head, and was wearing a lakeshore. She was wearing a simple dark green moonlight dress with no accessories. She was dressed so well that she couldn't even be compared to the maids in the mansion, but her protruding belly was particularly conspicuous.

It was the same Aunt Chen whom he had not seen for days!

With one hand on her stomach and the other naturally resting on her knees, Aunt Chen's stomach was much larger than it was a few days ago.

Although she was pregnant, Aunt Chen was not fat in the slightest. She was not even as plump as when she was a maid in the past. There was not a single trace of blood on her face. The veins on her hands were bulging and bulging, as if she couldn't even hold a cup of tea in her hands.

Could it be that their physiques were different?

When I am pregnant, I can eat so much that my face is deformed.

When I look in the mirror, I often feel very depressed. When he looked at Xue Lang's handsome face under the lantern at night, it seemed as if he couldn't even grab the man beside him with his hands. I was afraid that he would slip away when I wasn't paying attention, so I wanted to carry the most beautiful maid by my side, Wen Lian, into the room.

Why was it that when Aunt Chen was pregnant, she became even more sickly than before?

When Aunt Chen saw me looking at her, she lowered her head in panic and kept withdrawing her feet.

Had she been frightened by her mother?

It would be better if he went to find Lan Xin later and entrust her to look at Aunt Chen more.

I also have something to ask Lan Xin.

"Why would a child like you be so shocked upon entering the room?" Grandmother looked at me with a crooked smile. "Don't tell me you're thinking too much when you're a girl!"

If it was any other time, it would have been fine. But at this juncture, I'm not so stupid as to think my grandmother just happened to be there.

"Did Mama Jin say something nonsense with you!?" I stomped my feet in anger.

Without thinking about it, Mama Timing Jin found me fast asleep early in the morning, told Lan Li not to wake me up, and then rushed over to Grandmother's to tell her about my "good news."

Grandmother said with a stern face, "Nonsense! "What nonsense is this!"

Only when Grandma finished saying this did she realize that there was a bit of a hidden meaning behind her words.

All the women in the room burst into laughter. Even the listless Lady Chen on the chair had a hint of a smile on her face.

"Mother, you've been talking for so long, but your wife still hasn't understood what you and Chong'er are up to!" The mother smiled.

They were all women, how could they not understand? It was just to please their grandmother!

"Our Yuanyuan is a big girl now!" Grandmother smiled as she pulled me to the side of the brick bed and sat down beside her. "As a grandma, I should reward her with two pieces of silk!"

Mother pretended to be surprised and said, "Then as a mother, won't I get four?! This is a huge loss! "

He was smiling, but there was no happiness in his eyes.

Why?

Based on my previous life, shouldn't mother have happily prepared this and that for me?

Recently, her mother's behavior had become more and more abnormal, and her behavior had become further and further away from that of her previous life.

"There's plenty in my storage room. Just move it!" Grandmother had always been someone who did not want to get along with her. She would naturally be happy to see her mother coaxing her like this.

"Then my wife should eat two more bowls of rice!" The mother answered with a smile.

"Then this servant should also congratulate Eldest Miss!" Hong Yu, who had just gotten married, stood to one side with a bashful smile.

"I forgot about you all of a sudden!" When her grandmother saw the red jade, her eyebrows raised and she smiled.

Hong Yu took the opportunity to pay her respects.

The quick-witted young maid took a mat and placed it in front of Hong Yu. Hong Yu kneeled on it and gave her grandmother three formal kowtows.

"Get up! "Good boy!" Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, and she held out her hand to the red jade.

Red Jade stood up and took her grandmother's hand, half-kneeling on her feet.

"My Hongyu has also grown up. At that time, she was still a little girl, but now she has become his wife!" Grandmother stroked her slender red jade hand as she cried.

"Mother!" On such a joyous day, how can you shed tears! " His mother passed a handkerchief across the brick table and looked at Hong Yu authoritatively. With a smile, she said, "How can I let her feel in her heart like this?"

Red Jade wiped away her tears and comforted her grandmother.

Everyone was busy comforting their grandmother softly. Suddenly, there was a "puchi" sound of laughter in the room.

Everyone looked at Mother Du who was standing at the side.

"I've followed the old lady for so many years, I've finally caught you in the wrong place!" Mother Du laughed heartily.

Grandma turned her tears into a smile as she raised her head to stare at Mother Du and said, "You old thing, tell me what I was wrong about!"

Mama Du smiled and helped Hong Yu up, smiling as she said, "This Miss Hong Yu can't be called Hong Yu anymore, she's going to be called 'Li Cheng's' today!"

"Mom!" Hong Yu pushed Mother Du with a flushed face: "To think that we all regard you as our mother. You actually make fun of us all the time!"

"I knew you old thing, staring at me all day long, just waiting for me to make a mistake!" Grandmother pointed at Mother Du and laughed as she scolded her.

"Madam!" "Madam!" Like a butterfly, Mother Du threw herself in front of her mother, gently shaking her arm: "You have to uphold justice for me! I've served the old lady for thirty years, how did I end up with such a reputation! It would be better if these little girls who were married off early on! "

Mother Du was referring to the red jade, while Madame Chen's face was pale.

She was also a servant in her grandmother's house. Even if she gave birth to a child, she would only have one.

When her mother heard this, her face brightened up slightly and she became a lot happier.

Mother Du is such a smart person, how could she unintentionally say such a thing?

Grandmother seemed to glance at Mother Du, her smile didn't change as she pulled on the red jade and asked all sorts of questions.

"Is Li Cheng nice to you?"

Her grandmother's question was straightforward, and her red jade face was flushed. She just hung her head and didn't answer.

"Is he not good to you?"

"I'll call him in right now and ask our Hongyu how she is compatible with him. He treats our Hongyu badly!"

Her words were fierce, but the smile on her grandmother's face was clear.

It was clear that this was just Grandmother teasing Red Jade.

"He is good to me, please don't …" Put him... "Call him in."

Hong Yu's complexion was even redder than the statue of Guan Gong that her father had provided in his study, as if she had drunk a jar of Jin Hua wine.

"Look!" You just got married and you already know how to protect me! "

Grandmother let go of the red jade, turned her head, and looked very sad.

The laughter of the women in the room broke the window paper.

"I wonder what kind of fragrance your mother-in-law used to burn in her previous life to be able to marry such a good wife!"

Seeing her shyness, Grandmother stopped teasing her.

"You're marrying such a good wife, yet you don't know to come in and pay respects to me!"

Grandmother's tone was just like a mother-in-law who had just married her daughter, overturning a jar of old Shanxi vinegar.

"My mother-in-law is waiting outside!" Red Jade hurriedly defended her mother-in-law.

"Look!" "Let's take a look!" Grandmother snorted. "At least she knows the rules!"

This was the scene Old Lady Li saw after she entered the door.

Grandmother and mother were sitting on the kang in gorgeous clothes, and even Auntie Chen, who was pregnant, was sitting on the side. Her wife was half-kneeling, half-sitting on the rosewood feet of her grandmother, who was currently being served by her mother, Du, who was the best of the best in the room. She was holding a plate of fruit in her hands, smiling.

Hong Yu saw her mother-in-law come in and was about to stand up when her grandmother stopped her.

"Your wife is serving me right now, it's inconvenient for her to stand up!" Grandmother looked coldly at Li Sangui's house.

It was no different from those powerful parents who made things difficult for their son-in-law.

Red Jade was holding her grandmother's hand. What kind of service was this?

When had the Li San Gui family ever seen such a formation? Without waiting for the young maid to put down the cushion, they all fell to their knees with a 'pu tong' sound.

"It is her fortune to serve the Old Ancestor!"

I couldn't help smiling.

This Li Sangui was too honest!

These words … He had hit the nail on the head!

Grandmother was very uncomfortable when she married someone for Hongyu, so she spoke in a tone that was like she was acting on Hongyu's behalf.

Grandmother's face was dark, and she said nothing.

The atmosphere in the room, which had been laughing merrily a moment ago, suddenly quieted down.

Li Sangui stood there confused with his head lowered and shoulders hunched. He had no idea what was going on.

"Sister-in-law of the Li family." Mother Du hurriedly supported Li Sangui's family and smiled, "I say, you don't know how to speak!"

Li San Gui only knew how to be submissive.

The people in the room were all smart people. They couldn't help but smile when they saw the simple-minded look on Li Shangui's face.

Li Sangui stuttered a lot of good words, but in fact, many market slang words were only seen by his grandmother.

"Where is your kid working?"
