C195

There were a total of three letters.

The first letter was just some gossip between little girls, the rose rouge paste in the new rouge shop on East Main Street looked good, the embroidery shoes in West Fourth Lane were exquisite and fitting, the pastries in our Poria Cocos Workshop were even better than those from the old paddy village that came from Beijing, or the melons here were still unproductive, the melons in the capital had all fallen into disarray.

After seeing this, I couldn't help but smile in my heart. Such fragmented worries were only due to the unpredictable future!

At this moment, the capital city was filled with the unease and longing of the young miss Jiang. The White City in the future would be her most cherished and nostalgic memory!

The memories of her youth, whether they were happy or sad, could only be etched deep into her mind.

The second letter was different from the first.

The Fang family's matriarch was slightly ill. She had caught a chill in the spring before she fell into bed, coughing and gasping for breath. The second young master of the fifth branch of the Fang family was now seventeen years old. If there really were any mishaps with Matriarch Fang, by the time she became filial, Young Master Fang would be twenty years old. By then, Young Miss Jiang would be eighteen as well, and she would already be an old lady.

His words stopped there, but he was not done yet.

The woman appeared older than the man. Although Young Master Fang was two years older than Miss Jiang, by the time she turned eighteen, she would have grown into a full-grown woman. The best case scenario would be that she would be on par with that Young Master Fang, and the worst case would be that Young Miss Jiang would appear older than Young Master Fang. At that time, the fourteen to fifteen year old maidservant would be blooming like a flower bud, and Miss Jiang would have no children. Even if the couple were in harmony, there would be fewer beauties among them.

However, there were some things that, even though they knew it was the case, could not do anything about it.

The only thing he could do was keep his proper place as wife. In the end, he was a young master from an aristocratic family. Even if he did not love her, he would still give her the dignity of a husband and wife.

I can't write this down on paper in black and white.

He could only find a suitable opportunity to tell her in secret.

From beginning to end, I read every word carefully. The delicate and pretty hairpin, yet it made people sad. That Young Master Fang is already seventeen years old. He must have long since known about the affair between the two of them, and even shared a room with them. Eldest Miss Jiang was worried that her husband and wife wouldn't be able to enjoy themselves. Maybe it was the perfect time to enjoy themselves in this short time.

The world only said that men went out to work or to be officials or to do business. They were either forced by the law to run erratic errands for themselves and not only wanted to buy property but also had a reputation for it before taking a wife. It was much easier for women to take charge of the household and attend to their parents than it was for men, but they did not expect that women in the world would have much higher requirements than men. They would be born of noble birth and would have a more docile temperament, serve their parents-in-law, raise their children, and not only have to be harmonious with their sister-in-law, but also have to love and love their husband. There were seven in the front and a group of concubines at the back. They could neither enter nor retreat. All day, they could only act like a Buddha, neither greedy nor angry.

As long as you have love, you can't do it.

Frustrated, I put the letter in the drawer and opened the third.

Although Matriarch Fang's body was no longer mentioned, her tone was much more cheerful. Even her complaints about being held by Madame Jiang and how busy she was were were filled with joy. It must be that old lady from the Fang family must have had a tougher body! At the end of the letter, Miss Jiang said that she had recently started making shoes for her mother-in-law to open the box, but she didn't have the appropriate floral appearance. She remembered that I could paint and asked if she could bring two floral patterns back to her sister.

I smiled and carefully placed the letter back into the envelope. I then used the red-wood carving of the shepherd boy to play the flute.

A cheerful laughter was transmitted over after a period of time. I couldn't help but laugh as I shook my head. I didn't know if I would be this happy to see a few goldfishes at my age.

"Huh?" Seeing me enter the room, Second Miss Jiang turned around with a smile. Her face still retained the smile from before, making her look extremely adorable. "Didn't you want to make a flower for my elder sister?"

So Miss Jiang's letter was not sealed because of this reason!

Initially, I was still a little worried. In the end, it was just an opening gift, the first gift to grandma. If something were to spread out, it would be bad for Eldest Miss Jiang. Now it seemed that since Second Miss Jiang knew the contents of the letter, Madame Jiang must have tacitly agreed.

"How can it be so fast!" I smiled and sat on the other side of the brick bed. The maidservants came to change the tea leaves, and I helped the maidservants change the teacups in front of Second Young Miss Jiang into a new one. "Wait for me to ponder for two days, then I'll finish painting and have the maidservants send the tea leaves to your house!"

Hearing my words, Second Miss Jiang's eyes lit up and suddenly leaned forward from behind the table. For a moment, her red skin was completely drenched by the tea that I had placed in front of her.

"Aiya!" Second Miss Jiang was also shocked and jumped up from the brick bed in a fluster.

"What's wrong!" "What's wrong!" I was startled when she suddenly moved closer to me. When I saw her jump away and look at the teacup on the table, what was there that I didn't understand?

I was the one who placed the teacup in front of her. No one knew the boiling temperature better than me.

"Does it matter?" I got off the brick bed and walked towards him in quick steps. "Are you hot?"

As soon as Second Miss Jiang jumped up, that maid called Qingxi had rushed over to her side. When I stepped forward, not only the maidservants by Second Miss Jiang's side, even the maidservants by my side were all clamoring. Seeing me come over, the maidservants all retreated to give me their seats.

"Quick!" Help your Young Miss up! " I was afraid that Second Miss Jiang would be scalded. If there was a scar on her skin, it wouldn't be good for me to go to her house: "Go behind that screen!"

Usually, the maidservants beside Second Young Miss Jiang were quite dexterous, but why did they become so dazed at this point? All they could do was stare at each other and stand to the side.

I gave a meaningful glance to Lan Li and Lu Ke, who were standing by the side with their hands hanging down. The two maidservants hurriedly went forward and helped Second Miss Jiang to put on her shoes and clean her clothes.

From beginning to end, Mama Jiang had been standing in front of the Multi Treasure Pavilion, staring at them without a change in her expression. She didn't even take a single step.

What Second Miss Jiang said about Old Lady Jiang just now slipped through my mind. What kind of master is this, and what kind of servant is this!?

After entering the screen, I saw that Second Miss Jiang had taken off her clothes. It was only because her clothes were wet that I felt relieved.

"Get me a set of my clothes!" I instructed Lan Li, who hurriedly handed the towel in her hand to Lan Li, and left the screen.

"I'm sorry …" "I don't know …" When Second Miss Jiang heard that I asked the maidservant to bring her clothes, she muttered those words under her breath. In her hands was a belt made from the snow-white Sanjiang Sanpo Cloth. Her face was filled with guilt.

"I'm fine!" "I'm fine!" I took a small pink coat from the rosewood wardrobe beside the screen and put it on top of her. I smiled as I let her sit on the bench I usually sit on, and sat on it as I waited for Lu Que to come back. "This wardrobe is full of my usual clothes, and since I'm shorter than you, I'm afraid that the clothes here will be shorter for my elder sister. Thus, my maidservant went to look for new clothes in the box."

Second Miss Jiang nodded absent-mindedly, apparently not caring at all.

I couldn't help but secretly laugh at myself for thinking too much. I was afraid that Second Miss Jiang would misunderstand me.

The green bandit came in with a set of white plum blossoms embroidered in peach red and a full full full skirt of white crescent. On the dress, there was the forbidden step of a pink gourd, and the pink-white tassels hung down, elegant and elegant.

I nodded to her in satisfaction and smiled as I took a step back. I watched as the maidservants dressed Second Miss Jiang.

"What did you want to say to me just now?"

"Can't you hear what is being said here?" Second Miss Jiang lowered her voice, a small smile hanging on her lips. She looked a little mischievous.

"It's not that I can't hear you, but I can't!" I mimicked her tone and lowered my voice.

My sister!" Second Miss Jiang had a helpless look on her face. "She's always been depressed recently, so I can't say much to ask her. I'm just writing you a letter!" Saying that, Second Miss Jiang cast a glance at me, as if she was saying: I'm her sister, why is it that she doesn't say anything to me! "With a hint of jealousy, she looks quite mischievous." Since you want to send flowers, why don't you come over and take a look at her? She can't come out, but she still talks about you a lot!

To see Miss Jiang …

Although it wasn't impossible, it didn't seem that difficult. First, she was a girl waiting to be married. Lady Jiang might not want me to make a scene, and secondly, I couldn't persuade my grandmother to go out. Before I overthrow my mother, I just want to follow the rules and be a good daughter, so that she won't find the wrong place to go to.

Besides, this was the marriage of Zhou Baumu. Although he did not care about it, he still had to ask since he could not let go of it.

As he thought of this, his intentions of visiting the Jiang family faded. I smiled and refused for a while. I just said that I would do my best. Noticing my lack of interest, Second Miss Jiang did not bring up the matter again. She just sat with me for a while and was about to head back.

Seeing that she wasn't happy, I didn't have the mood to continue the conversation. Although I am on good terms with these sisters, it is not my duty to welcome them, and responding to requests is not my duty. Miss Jiang should be able to understand this principle, it is just that Second Miss Jiang has not experienced many things, and is also the young girl of her family.

Along the way, although Second Miss Jiang was still talking to me about random things, she didn't mention anything about Eldest Miss Jiang anymore, and her expression was more or less a bit unhappy. I pretended not to see her and continued to chat and laugh with her as I accompanied her along the garden back to my grandmother's yard.
