C186

I washed my face, combed my hair, and put on a pea-green noodle. I felt much more comfortable, so I took the two girls to my grandmother's place.

Unexpectedly, Grandmother's place wasn't as lively and lively as it used to be. The maidservants who often played in the yard quietly waited outside with their hands hanging by their sides, looking very solemn.

Red Jade was standing outside the door. When she saw me enter the yard, she quickly came over and grabbed my arm. She whispered, "The Jiang family has sent two mothers over!"

No wonder it suddenly became like this!

At such a time, curfew was only two to six hours away, and the Jiang and Yang families were from the east and west of the city, so why would they suddenly send their mother over?

I slightly nodded my head, indicating that I understood. Hong Yu personally helped me open the curtain and passed on with a smile, "The young miss is here!"

He waited at the door for a moment before his grandmother's voice shouted, "Let her in!"

I smiled and nodded at the red jade, indicating that I could handle it, then lifted my foot and walked through the door.

Grandmother was wearing a jujube red peony embroidery. She was sitting in the teacher's chair in the central hall, smiling as she talked to the two well-dressed mothers.

I recognize one of them as a mother in blue armor. She is the mother in charge who often serves beside Madame Jiang. The last time I was sent to entertain Second Miss Jiang, I can tell that she is trusted by her master.

The other mother had never seen him before.

Wearing a dark lilac embroidery on her face, a round white face, a little oil golden hairpin on her head, ear plugs of gold lilac, and a bracelet of gold silk on her hand. They were all of good quality, especially her outstretched hands, which were as smooth and glossy as a lady's.

In this way, even if the woman was their Grand Lady, she would still be trusted by others.

"Greetings, young mistress Yang!" The woman was very sane, and she curtsied before I could reach my grandmother.

The mother by Madame Jiang's side was slightly slower than her. Only when she had already bent her knees did she react, bowing towards me with an awkward smile.

Although the tone of her voice was local, the slight rise in her tone in the end revealed her identity.

Only the official language of the capital would have such a voice.

In order to learn to speak official language, I had to put in a lot of effort to correct my rough northern accent.

It seemed like this mother came from the Jiang family in Beijing!

I smiled and bent my knees. "Greetings to the two moms!"

The woman quickly moved to the side to avoid the attack. She lowered her head and moved to the side in a smooth manner.

"Why are you so late!" After paying my respects, I went up to pay my respects to Grandmother. Grandmother then placed me on a chair next to the bed. "It's not usually this late!"

Because I usually don't have a fixed time, and the earlier and later times are always there, my grandmother always waits for me to come before eating. Today she asked me this question just to give me a good impression in front of my two mothers.

"Because of what happened in the shop, I was a bit late!"

Talking to the people in the shop could barely be considered as a matter of the shop, right?

Grandmother saw that I understood what she meant and nodded her head in satisfaction. She pointed to the two mothers and said, "These are the two mothers of the Jiang family. They said that Second Miss Jiang is very close with you. She wants to play with us!"

Second Miss Jiang and I are on very good terms?

When was this?

How could I not know!

This excuse is really … It was rotten!

This was an excuse that could be seen through with a single glance. Only Second Miss Jiang would feel that it was flawless. How did she manage to smoothly pass through Lady Jiang and arrive in front of me?

I couldn't help laughing.

However, it could not be revealed on the surface.

I raised my eyebrows and laughed. "Really? That would be great! "A while ago, I said that I would invite sister Jiang to our house to play. I didn't expect that sister would send someone here today. It seems like it's not a waste for us sisters!"

Although that mother had her head down, she kept looking at me from the corner of her eyes when we were talking. Seeing that I had taken the initiative to take over the conversation and referred to the Jiang family's presumptuous words as passionate and intimate, she couldn't help but smile faintly.

Did I say something wrong?

Madame Jiang's mother, however, was pleased with my cleverness and grinned happily.

"May I know when will it be convenient for you to enter?" Madame Jiang's personal mother laughed heartily.

"I was going to post to my sister on May 23rd." I smiled.

"So the two misses have already made an appointment!"

I finally remembered that time, Second Miss Jiang had called that mother her mother.

His surname was Madame Jiang's maiden name, so it could be seen that he had brought her with him to marry off his mother. Judging by her age, she was most likely Madame Jiang's wet nurse. Otherwise, she wouldn't be so trusted.

The two mothers were about to leave after chatting for a while longer. From start to finish, the mother who came to the capital just stood at the side with her head lowered, looking at me with a smile. She didn't say a single word, and kneeled down to greet me before she was escorted out of the door by mother Du behind her.

After the two Jiang mothers had left, Grandmother asked about the situation in the shop and sat in the inner room. She didn't mention anything strange about her two mothers and just held her teacup with a hearty smile.

"Did you figure out anything mysterious?" After eating, grandmother's good mood still did not go away, holding a cup of tea and smiled at me.

His mother from the Jiang family in Beijing was dressed decently. Most likely, she belonged to one of the elders. Otherwise, Madame Jiang wouldn't have sent her most reputable mother to accompany her. However, the things he did were very strange. After dusk, he hastily ran over to pay a visit, but his master was helping him out. He then put on an unsatisfied expression.

Every move he made revealed a sense of strangeness, but he could not pinpoint what was the problem!

I thought hard and shook my head at my grandmother.

"You see that mother in the lilac color?" Grandmother's eyes flashed with a bright light.

Under such circumstances, not being able to see anything, it was rather fake.

I never thought of leaving a dull impression on my grandmother.

"Although mother tried her best to cover it up, the words still revealed the accent of an official. It seems like she's from beside Grand Preceptor Jiang."

Grandmother nodded with a smile. She took a sip of the tea and asked with a smile, "And then?"

"Then... Then... "My grandson and daughter won't be able to see it …" I bowed my head in a guilty gesture.

Grandmother couldn't help but laugh. She shook out the remaining half cup of tea in her hand and lovingly touched my hair. "You really are a child!"

What does this have to do with being a child?

Who knew why the Jiang family would send a mother to Madame Jiang's place?

"What did you say?" I glared at my grandmother.

Even Mother Du, who was standing beside her grandmother, laughed and came over with a plate of peeled apples. She laughed and said, "Who would be a grandmother like you, talking to a child about these things?!"

"Good!" Good! "Alright!" Grandmother did not seem to be angry at her mother's presumptuous words at all. She smiled and nodded. "I won't say anymore!"

No matter how hard I tried, my grandmother stopped talking about it and instead told me about the invitation for Lady Jiang and her daughter to come on the twenty-third.

"Since I'm here to see you, you can do the preparations!" Grandmother looked at me with interest.

Come and look at me?

Was he talking about Second Miss Jiang?

"Go, give that thing to Miss!" Grandma pointed to the large pink mahogany cabinet, and Mother Du quickly left.

Moments later, Mother Du came back with a small mahogany box with a lock in it. She respectfully bent over and offered it to her grandmother.

Grandmother did not open it. She handed it to me. "Open it and take a look!"

There was a palm-sized wooden sign with a red rope on it, and the words "Yang Mansion C" were carved on it.

It was a match from the residence.

"What are you doing?" The cards in my hand were a little hot. I looked up at my grandmother in surprise.

A B C has three cards in total, A can order the inner and outer courts, in the father's hands, B can order the storerooms of the inner and outer courts, in the mother's hands, and C can freely transfer the inner court to the grandmother's hands. Each match had only one card, and each played his or her part.

"I'm already an old man, so I don't have the patience to meddle in these matters. Just help me manage these matters from now on!" Grandmother closed her eyes slightly, looking relaxed.

Previously, although Grandmother said that she would rely on me for her future family, she did not place any real power in my hands.

Now that she gave me her match, did that mean she was beginning to believe me?

However, it wasn't as if the people in this mansion only recognized each other.

If such a brand were in my hands, there would be no meaning behind it.

Could it be that Grandmother is testing me?

"This is too important!" I shoved the box into my grandmother's arms. "How can I take it!"

"Do you want me to busy myself with your little girl's banquet?" Grandmother laughed at me and pushed the box back into my hands. "I'll tell your mother later!"

His heart was finally at ease.

It looks like Grandmother really wanted to give me the match.

Grandmother and I gave in and accepted the cards.

I smiled and agreed. Grandmother saw that not only could I understand it, I could even talk to her. She couldn't help but be surprised. "When I was your age, how could I know all this?"

I couldn't help but regret. Originally, I only wanted to make Grandmother happy, but I didn't want to accidentally reveal my secret.

"Miss Jiang told me!" I mumbled to my grandmother.

Grandmother nodded her head. "She's a girl waiting to be married. It's hard for her not to care about these things, and she even knows to tell you these. It's not bad at all!"

I couldn't help but laugh. This is ridiculous!

If it's not bad, and it's not marrying into our family, then why is Grandmother so happy?

Perhaps because he was old, he especially liked such joyous things.

Remembering how happy Grandmother looked when Red Jade got married, and how the maidservants in the courtyard were about to get married, Grandmother was so happy and busy, as if everything had been explained to her.

Grandmother pulled me from the light of the lamp all the way to the time when the maidservants had not finished their washing up. Mother Du came over and urged me with a smile, "If you don't go back, Miss can only take advantage of the moonlight!"

"So what!" Grandmother, who was wearing a white nightgown, sat on the edge of the bed and pursed her lips. "Why don't you go and rest in the blue chiffon cabinet tonight?"

Remembering how my grandmother chased me out of the courtyard, I shook my head out of instinct. What if I said something to anger my grandmother and then got chased out of the house in the middle of the night? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

When Grandmother saw me shake my head, her expression turned cold. She sat on the bed without speaking for a long time.

"Look at what you're saying!" Mama Du crouched down to help my grandmother take off her shoes, and I half-knelt by the bed to help my grandmother take off her socks.

Hong Chang placed some water on the ground after carrying it in a copper basin. Mother Du reached her hand in to test the temperature of the water, and smiled: "Who would live in the same courtyard as Miss and Aunt!"

Hearing Mother Du's words, Grandmother's face became much better, and insisted on having Hong Chang call the two maids beside me in, and repeatedly told them to take good care of me before sending us out.

The full moon was gone.
