Grandmother keenly noticed the unfriendly tone in my tone. She turned around and gave me a deep look.

It was too late to change his tone now. The best way to maintain his current state was to ride a tiger while it was still difficult to dismount.

With a cold face, I condescendingly looked down on that old woman. In my hand, I was fiddling with a glass cup, casually revealing my dignity.

"It's already the middle of the month. It's not convenient for me to walk into the inner courtyard, so I'll get a servant to deliver the accounts for Miss to look through."

The old woman didn't seem to expect my attitude to be so harsh. There was a tinge of caution in her tone of reply.

He had originally said that he would go to the shop for an account check at 20% of the month. Now that he wasn't even 15 years old, he could only helplessly send the account book over.

Furthermore, even though this shop is under my name, I have not operated it for a day.

Although I can read the books, the first lesson of the accountants is how to balance the accounts.

If I were to carelessly flip through and discover that something was amiss, then this person would probably no longer have the qualifications to remain by the side of the Lord of the Rites.

Now, her mother had come for something else.

"In that case, please send the account book to my room!" My tone was flat and I still looked like a lady.

"Yes." Not only was Old Lady Sun not infuriated, her demeanor became even more orderly under my cold expression. She replied in a low voice, "Yes." Then, she curtsied and slowly left through the door.

When she left the room, my grandmother complained about me and treated her too harshly.

"I'm young, and I'm also a girl. I often stay in the inner chamber and don't go out. If I don't even have my dignity left, won't I be bullied on top of their heads?" I smiled and poured tea for my grandmother.

Grandmother sighed, took the tea from my hand and put it on the table. "How nice it was to manage a farmhouse like I said!"

I understood that this was just a casual remark from my grandmother. I didn't argue and just smiled and changed the subject.

"Elder sister Twin Embroidery is the son of the family, and she is also a first-rate servant girl. As usual, she should be rewarded with thirty silver taels. However, according to the current market price, even if you make a proper set of wedding clothes, it would still cost 15 taels of silver. Therefore, no matter how many masters the maids in the house were to marry, they would still reward some silver coins so that they could not be looked down upon by the mother-in-law. "

I've already checked out these old examples when I was dealing with the dowry for the red jade.

Although Red Jade could receive 30 taels of silver from the government, because she was Grandmother's personal maidservant, and because Grandmother had taken a special interest in her, she did not receive her share of the reward. Furthermore, he had spent two hundred taels on a single wedding, not to mention the wedding dress and jewelry. Thirty taels was a huge sum of money spent on the wedding.

"Twin Embroidered Sis's father is the shopkeeper of our shop. Although the shop is not big, he has a lot of savings. Furthermore, she is the only daughter, so her parents will love her and will not let her down."

As I watched my grandmother's face, I explained.

"Since when did a child like you learn to do this!" Grandmother smiled and patted my head. "Speak your mind!"

I giggled. "You're really smart!"

"I feel that Sister Dual-Embroidered, who used to serve in my father's study, now serves in the aunt's room with all her heart. Now that they were getting married, it was not convenient for the two masters to reward their elder sister. The elder sister had been poor for many years, but she ended up like this. "If it's to reward money, then I presume that Big Sister Twin Embroidery is not lacking either. Grandmother might as well give her a few playthings in private to show her face."

If his father were to bestow upon a former maid, it would unavoidably make one's thoughts go astray. The most suitable reward for Auntie Chen was also a timid one. Without even a reward from his proper master, his grandmother went over to pay him some money, and it was a slap in the face.

"What do you think?" Grandmother looked at me with interest.

This was a test.

Grandmother wanted to see if I could figure out the twists and turns of these relationships.

From now on, he was his grandmother's trusted future family head, and he was also a somewhat clever granddaughter. All of this was part of his daily life.

I took a deep breath and replayed my thoughts.

The things in your storehouse are naturally excellent, but those pieces that have a high artistic conception and are filled with the air of a scholar are not suitable for her. Even if your twin sister knew the peculiarities of these objects, your mother's family was crude, and did not understand the advantages of fine porcelain, which not only spoils good things, but also insults your good intentions. If the choice is too vulgar, first is that you do not have this kind of thing in your library, and secondly is that the parents of the double embroidery sister have some experience, they can't help but feel wronged in their hearts, feeling that we have neglected the sister. "I think it would be better to choose something fresh in color that means something festive. It's the most appropriate thing to share with the people.

As I spoke further, the smile in my grandmother's eyes deepened. In the end, my grandmother completely smiled.

"You're talking about the glass screen on my birthday, right?"

At Grandmother's party, the booklet that was sent to the vault was with my mother, and I had a particularly vivid memory of this screen. The chicken wing wood was painted with a red paint, making it look very festive. It wasn't too big, just large enough to be placed in the inner room and in the middle hall for separation. Instead of choosing fine silk, the paper was used as a screen. Instead, the paper was made of glass. On the clear surface, there were all kinds of colorful drawings. There were all kinds of movements, and all kinds of small dolls, which were exceptionally pleasing. Although its value was not high, it was better than ingenuity.

At that time, I was still teasing Mother Du with a smile, "I didn't know that you thought you were giving full moon wine as a gift!"

Mother Du was shaking with laughter at my teasing, and a big blotch of ink spread across the ledger.

"Ya!" I clapped my hands in feigned surprise. "How could I have thought of that? I was just casually saying it. I didn't expect Grandmother to think of it so quickly!"

Grandmother laughed heartily and rubbed my head before doting on it. "You clever fool!"

"Just as you said!" Grandmother smiled lovingly and accepted my suggestion.

"I think it's better to choose a day than to strike a day. Please give your day to Mommy Zhou today!" While the iron was hot, I smiled and took the drawer from the side of the kang, and from it I took The Book of Jade Cards.

"It seems like you are very fond of that little girl, Lu Kui!" Grandmother teased me with a smile. She found a pair of glasses from the side of the brick bed and set them on the bridge of her nose. "Who knows where this girl will land in the future!"

If he kept talking like this, maybe his grandmother would just take over on a whim and make sure of the marriage between Lu Kuo as well.

I hurriedly offered up the 'Jade Core Record' and urged my grandmother, "Quickly, take a look!"

Grandmother gave me a look, dipped her finger in saliva, and flipped open the book.

"This person is easy to use. I can't bear for her to leave my side." Back then, when I married your mother, I was also extremely sad. However, this woman had to be married to feel at ease. Moreover, since you married her, she will be your concubine in the future. "

Green Cock was a year older than me, but Grandmother didn't say that she was going to be a concubine. It was obvious that the hearts of all the women of the world were looking forward to a pair of people, young or old, for all their lives.

"I think June 12th is good!" Grandmother smiled as she took off her glasses. I quickly took them and helped her put them into her red brocade eyes.

"Who do you think would be the better matchmaker?" Smiling, I put my glasses back in the drawer.

Although this marriage was facilitated by her grandmother, if one wanted to marry someone, one had to find a mother at home to comply with the rules. Speaking of the best, Mo Wuji had to go past his grandmother's mother Du. Not only was he of high status, he was also in the service of the elders.

"You child!" Grandmother sighed with a smile. "We've already gotten married once, it won't be easy to deceive her!"

"Autumn Blue!" Grandma called out to the window, and Mother Du quickly responded with a smile as she walked in.

Grandmother explained everything to me in front of everyone. Mother Du quickly patted her chest and laughed, "The management is doing well. I want to earn two pairs of matchmaker's shoes!"

"Rest assured!" Grandmother gave me a helpless smile, as if the stewards were looking at their master.

I pursed my lips into a smile and said, "I don't need to worry about your matters."

"They say that it's better to do things than to hire people. It can be seen that although our old lady is nimble, she is still inferior to our young miss." Mother Du spoke flattering words, but her attitude was neither servile nor overbearing.

The atmosphere in the room was just right. Grandmother left me for lunch, and after lunch she told me some gossip about other people.

Hong Chang and I waited on Grandmother as she took off her clothes and covered her tent. Mother Du and I quietly left the room, leaving Hong Chang to guard alone.

We chose a shady eaves to talk under.

"Why aren't you seeing Cousin?"

A few days ago, Grandmother and Lanxin were very intimate. Even I couldn't compare to them.

"Don't mention it anymore!" With a sigh, Mother Du pulled me to sit on the porch and whispered in my ear.

"Yesterday Madam spoke back and forth, saying that Liu Lang was going back to his hometown. The old lady was immediately angry and said that she didn't even want to use a good teacher for her. Later on, the Madam said that Liu Lang said that her medical skills were on par with Lady Lan Xin, and Lady Lan Xin was an inner chamber girl, so it was easier for her to do things than him. It would be useless for him to stay in the Yang family. Our old lady was so angry at Lady Lan Xin that she thought the girl had pushed Liu Lang away. "This old servant only asked a single question this morning, 'Should I invite Miss Biao over for a meal?'. At that moment, the old granny's face immediately darkened as she loudly scolded the servant for being too talkative."

Mother Du spoke with a face full of grievance.

Last night, I asked Lan Li to find out what her mother had said. I wanted to ask her when we got back to the courtyard, but I didn't expect to hear it from her today.

It seemed that Mother Du really didn't tell Grandmother about the poison in the incense. Otherwise, Grandmother wouldn't be so nostalgic.

It was unknown what methods he had that could make his grandmother trust him so much.

"Miss, have you found out who did it?" Mother Du's voice was very low, but it still sounded very loud in the quiet afternoon.

When I thought back to my investigation, although all the evidence pointed to my mother, the whole process went smoothly and unexpectedly, making people feel that there was something strange about it.

"I went to ask around the spice shop. There are many spices that can be used for the incense. The dosage of the Calming Incense was not too great, but it wasn't enough to cause any poisoning. However, Grandmother's reaction was especially obvious."

If it wasn't a coincidence, it was because that doctor's medical skill had reached a level of perfection, allowing him to use such an ingenious method to harm his grandmother.

It wasn't just Liu Lang who was treating his grandmother. In the city, the Liao family operated in the business of medicine for generations, and they were friends with the Yang family. But he did not find any clues.

"Then what should we do!?"

Mother Du's heart was anxious. It was inevitable that her voice rose a bit. It was very distinct on this beautiful afternoon.

"Don't we still have Lady Lan Xin?" I hurriedly made a gesture of silence towards her. "Lady Lan Xin is skilled in medicine. I will also find a proper doctor as soon as possible."

"Now the old lady doesn't even want to see the young lady." Mother Du looked tired.

How could someone as nimble as Lan Xin possibly have the time to sit on a bench?

Unless she didn't want to, she could make her grandmother like her.

"Don't worry!" I patted Mother Du's hand. "Grandmother will think about the girl's health in two days."

Seeing her mother's expression, it was clear that she did not believe her, but she did not say anything else.

"Mom, if there's nothing else, I'll be going back to the courtyard." I smiled and got up to leave.

When she thought back to Sun Yiyi, who was waiting in my courtyard, she realized that she had been left alone for two hours and that it was about time for her to find out what her mistake was.

Mother Du looked at me reproachfully, as if she was blaming me for not putting Grandmother's safety in my heart.

I couldn't help smiling bitterly. There were some things that I couldn't tell you.

"I'll get the two ladies for the young lady!" Mother Du smiled reluctantly.
