"Yes, Miss!" Lan Qing still had a lingering smile on her face.

Lan Li was lively and lively, but she also had a temper. This kind of heart without a sense of place was clearly a happy one.

That little girl called Li Jun nimbly greeted me, "Miss, are you leaving?"

The little girl's eyes were sparkling, as if she was reluctant to part with them.

I had a big fight with her mistress, but when she saw such an adorable little girl, her heart melted as well.

I smiled faintly and patted her head. "That's right!"

Little Li shyly smiled at me, then squatted down and greeted me with a crooked bow. She waved towards Lan Lan reluctantly. That tone of her voice was indescribably sad!

"When will sister come back?"

Lan looked at me.

Lan Li is my head maid, so naturally she would stay by my side all day. Where would she be able to visit me so casually?

I said smilingly, "You can come to my courtyard to play!"

Although I won't bounce like a little girl, but very much like to see the people around me happy.

"Really?"

The little bird's eyes sparkled like stars in the sky.

Lan Xin walked out of the house, laughing heartily. She pulled on her little bird and teased with a smile. "If she's lying to you, then just go and mess with her!"

The little girl pursed her lips and smiled bashfully. Apparently, she understood that this was just a joke from Lan Xin.

They were escorted to the door by the master and servant, and then walked along the bamboo forest for a while. Seeing that the sun was setting in the west, they finally brought Lan Lingyun back to their grandmother's house.

Grandmother was already up and sitting on the kang, talking to Mama Du.

Seeing me come back, my grandmother got up and asked me with a smile, "Where did you go? It was used for a long time! "

I told her about my visit to Lady Chen and Lan Xin's room, and also told her about the decorations in her room.

Grandmother was slightly absent-minded. She covered her sleeves and sighed, "That child should be fated for this!"

"Although I've never been to Jiangnan, I know the rules."

I just smiled and offered a cup of tea to my grandmother.

It's not that I don't want to talk, it's really hard to say.

Speaking of which, I'm also from Jiangnan.

I grew up in the North. Not only was I tall, but I also had the same taste as the Northerners.

Grandmother saw that I didn't reply, so she laughed at herself and changed the topic.

"Where do you think Hongyu is fit to be a servant?"

I had already thought about it a long time ago, since Grandmother spent so much effort to make the red jade wedding lively, she definitely wouldn't let it end badly.

Then it's about whether Red Jade went back to work in my grandmother's yard or my yard.

"You can't be trying to get Mama Jin back, right?" I pretended to be heartbroken and tugged at my grandmother's sleeve.

In fact, in private, I very much hope grandma can get that golden mother back. Her husband and son were all working in Grandmother's yard, and even her monthly money was allocated from Grandmother's yard, so it had nothing to do with me. However, if it were Red Jade, it would be a completely different situation. Hong Yu has no family, and her husband is in the shop. She has seen my skills, so I believe she can easily take her down.

However, Red Jade was too eye-catching.

For me right now, red jade is like a vase.

When she was a maidservant, her shrewdness was well-known. If she was in my room, my mother would have had to pay extra attention to what was happening in my room. Even though Hong Yu is intelligent, she doesn't have much of a foundation. Losing the life of a maid in Grandmother's house is of no use to me.

If so, he might as well leave her in his grandmother's yard, where she might be of use in the future.

"No!" Grandmother helped me straighten out my hair. "If you give me the monthly allowance for that mother in charge of your house, how about you fill it up with red jade?"

"Then wouldn't I have robbed Grandmother of her two capable men?" I lowered my eyes and looked terrified.

"Silly girl!" Grandmother smiled and tapped my forehead. "Mine is all yours!"

"Then you can stay in the courtyard and give it to me after you've finished your tutelage!" I held Grandmother's arm and smiled.

Grandma couldn't help but laugh and tease her mother, "Look at our young miss, she is indeed a person who has opened a shop before. How shrewd is her scheming!"

Mama Du accompanied us in a joke, and the two of us sang the same tune, making Grandmother laugh to her heart's content.

Not long later, the servant girl's voice came from outside the door, "Old lady, the master and mistress are here!"

I couldn't help but be slightly surprised.

Many days, Grandmother did not keep her father and mother for dinner. It was only after dinner that Mother came to greet them.

"This girl's voice is too sharp. Next time, let's change to another one!"

Grandmother leaned on the long green ivy on the chair, leisurely instructing Mother Du.

Mama Du smiled in response, getting up to welcome her father and mother through the door.

The first to enter was his father. He wore a green robe and a pair of blue-gray shoes. His black hair was tied with a bamboo hairpin, making him seem very casual.

His mother followed closely behind, supporting his mother with a wide smile. It was more like a pair of beautiful sisters.

Different from the morning, the mother loosely held a piece of jade, wearing a jasper flower, a pair of small jasper earplugs, a plain jasper gown, and a twelve jade hairpin skirt. She looked quiet and dignified.

By the side, Aunt Chen was covered in makeup and dressed in gold and silver. On the contrary, she was at the age of seventeen, not as fresh as her mother.

"What did you do today?" When Grandmother saw her father, her eyes filled with laughter.

It was the kind of smile that belonged solely to his father. It was a carefree, intimate, heartfelt smile.

It was a smile that would only appear when he saw his own child.

Grandmother smiled at me, often with pity and a bit of caution.

"They're reconciling the accounts in the outer court." Under his mother's care, his father took off his shoes and went to bed, answering his grandmother's question very casually.

His mother had always been personally responsible for her father's affairs, even putting on clothes and pouring water was not an exception.

This was also one of the reasons why Grandmother was so lenient towards her mother!

Grandmother smiled and nodded, as if satisfied with her father's answer, and then turned to look at her mother.

"Eldest Brother's Wife's clothes are really beautiful!"

Grandmother's words could be considered as true.

Her mother had a noble air about her, and these simple and elegant clothes were more suitable for her elegance than for her finery.

"This is the woman who made mother's clothes last time!" I saw that her craftsmanship was not bad, so I made her some clothes! "

Grandmother and Mother Du looked at each other and smiled.

"What's wrong?" His mother was at a loss, her face a mask of confusion.

"There's someone thinking about me over there, this one is already here!" Grandmother smiled and scolded me, "It seems like your cultivation is still too shallow!"

"Who is he? How can he jump out of the palm of our old lady!" Mother Du said.

This joke was extremely vulgar, even his father laughed.

For a moment the room was full of joy.

"What did Mother call us here for?" Since they had talked about it before, naturally, they had to get into the main topic. His father's tone carried a hint of a probing tone.

"It's nothing much."

Chatty talk aside, when it came to business, Grandmother was not vague at all.

Grandma beamed as she poured a cup of tea for her father. "We have relatives here!"

"Relatives?" His father, who had just picked up the teacup, frowned and stopped what he was doing.

"After so many years, our family... "Where did the relatives come from?"

His mother seemed to have understood something as she quietly sat behind his father.

Lady Chen, who was sitting on the embroidery block, was calm and unmoving.

The inner chamber's matters were often first known by women.

These family members were short, and a woman's intuition was more accurate than a man's.

"She's the granddaughter of a good friend of mine." Grandmother smiled lightly and said, "She came to join our family because her family was in decline!"

"Oh!" His father raised an eyebrow, but didn't comment.

It seemed to be saying, this is a matter between you women, why did you drag me here?

"It's not good for our family to rashly accept such a little girl. I just want her to recognize me as her great-uncle's grandmother. What do you think?"

"As for the family matters, mother will decide them as long as it is up to you!" Father smiled.

"If there is someone accompanying my mother, I would be very happy!"

Apparently my father thought it was a trivial matter.

"What are you saying!"

Although Grandmother had already guessed that her father would not object, she still revealed a relieved smile and her tone became more lively.

"I really don't deserve it for your wife!"

Grandmother smiled at her mother.

"She's been helping you manage the inner chamber all day, and she also has to socialize with you. Every day she even comes to help me wake up and lose consciousness. With those words of yours, I'll ignore her. Be careful that she doesn't settle things with you at night!"

His father looked a little uncomfortable and coughed lightly.

Her mother pinched the handkerchief with a blush for a long time before she finally spoke.

"Mother!" What are you saying! "

I bowed my head in thought for a moment and then laughed.

She mentioned the housekeeper, but didn't mention that the most important thing was for a girl to have children. Grandmother really didn't want any of it to show.

"Look at me, when a person gets older, his mouth will be open!" Grandmother lightly patted her cheeks with a look of regret on her face.

Everyone began to laugh.

"Old Ancestor, Lady Lan Xin has arrived!" This time the voice was sweet and bright.

It was unknown when, but Mother Du had already left.

"Let her in!" Grandmother's smile widened even more.

The beauty in front of him had a pair of braids on her head. Her oily hair was piled up on her temples, making her skin and skin as smooth as snow. The corners of her eyes were slightly raised.

The goose-yellow underwear against the light pink outside, like a crabapple blossoming in the branches, coquettish fresh.

Her steps were light and graceful, but the silk ribbon at the edge of her skirt did not budge at all. She seemed to be in a good posture.

As if she hadn't expected there to be a man in the room, she was slightly taken aback. A sliver of panic flashed across her eyes before she regained her composure. She lowered her head and bowed, her movements perfect.

Even I was tricked by her!

If I hadn't seen her sitting on the bed and cursing the little gongzi, I would have thought she was a lady raised in a boudoir.

How many more sides did this woman have?
