C199

Early in the morning the next day, while the maids were grooming me, Mother Du brought a group of girls along with her. Seeing that I was about to stand up to let her have a seat, she hurriedly smiled and said, "Quickly, sit down! Sit down! "

My heart thumped.

Every time Mother Du looked at me with this kind of flattering smile, she always had something to request of me.

And I can't do these things!

"Hurry up and brew a cup of peach blossom fruit tea for mother!" I winked at Lan.

Lan Li understood what I meant, nodded with a smile, and left the room after curtseying slightly towards her mother.

"What is your mother doing here today?" I looked in the mirror with a pair of pearl earplugs and observed her every move.

"These are the maidservants that you've chosen, they have followed me for a month. Although I dare not inquire too much, but there shouldn't be any problems in the open. I have brought them over to you while the old lady is resting!"

I noticed that the maidservants behind her looked a little familiar.

I secretly heaved a sigh of relief. I couldn't help but laugh at my own concern.

"Sorry for troubling you!" After combing my hair, I took out a scarlet gold hollow dragon phoenix bracelet from the makeup case in front of me and handed it to Mother Du.

Although it was hollow, it still cost two taels of new gold. If it was combined with silver, it would be at least 25 taels.

"This was originally my responsibility, how could I dare to take Miss's things!" Mother Du quickly waved her hand and smiled while shaking her head.

"Go find a box for Mom to put in!" I turned back to the green robber, who was cleaning up the hairpin.

Holding it in such a bright way and seeing that my grandmother only gave it to me a few days ago, it's no wonder that Mother Du wouldn't accept it.

Lan Zhi, who had been serving at the side, immediately left without waiting for Lu Kui to get up.

"All the sisters in Miss's room are rare." Mother Du looked at the stooping Green Queen and gave a thoughtful smile.

Have you not dispelled the idea of picking a wife for her family's third son from my house?

"Speaking of which, all the maidservants of the Lan generation in my room have reached the appropriate age for her …" I smiled and wiped the pearl powder on my face.

Didn't you insist on picking someone from my house?

My maidservants are not to pick and choose with you!

Amongst the maids of the Lan generation, other than Lan Ling, they were all second class maidservants. Most of them were 13 or 14 years old, all of them having the same family background. Either her father was working in her warehouse, or her mother was a housekeeper in her grandmother's or mother's house. Their relationship was quite complicated. These maidservants were serving in my room, they weren't hoping for the master's favor, they were just waiting for the age when they could get married.

Mother Du wanted to marry the maidservant in my room, but she wanted me to point out to her that her son and daughter-in-law would be my concubine when I had a future. If I married someone who wouldn't be favoured when I was a maid in my room, even if I had the chance to choose my own room in the future, I wouldn't be able to choose such a couple.

As for Lan Li, Mother Du would never mention her.

Firstly, her son's character was not good enough for Lan Li. Not to mention me, even her grandmother would not agree. Second, Lan Li had entered the mansion, and didn't even have a family. Mama Du wouldn't have married a girl without her father-in-law's help.

For Mother Du to be able to stay by Grandmother's side for so many years, she definitely had a good eye for things.

"Speaking of which, the maidservants in Miss's room were either awarded by Madam or given by us, the Old Granny. Even if it's a marriage, we still have to report it to her first."

Mother Du's smile faded as she looked deeply at me.

Lan Lingyun brought in two pink and red glaze trinity cups with a Xiang Fei bamboo tea tray. She smiled brilliantly as she greeted Mother Du for tea.

Not only was the fruit tasty, the color was also bright. The pink-white petals floating on the surface of the water looked exquisite and elegant, with a bit more gorgeous and vibrant red glaze.

No wonder Second Miss Jiang didn't mind my tea.

After drinking this tea, I'll have to throw away my silver taels one by one.

"Speaking of which, is your grandnephew and daughter named Wu'er doing well working in the storeroom?" I smilingly looked at Mother Du who had just finished her second cup of tea.

Having been Xuelang's boss for three years, I had long since learned how to combine the grace and power of my mistress.

Mother Du was obviously experienced in this as well, and immediately understood what I meant. Ye Zichen raised his spirits and smiled, "It's all thanks to Miss that I was able to get such a job. What if I told that old bastard Shen!"

The chores in the storehouse were much more relaxing than those in front of the master. They were the same as the maidservants in the house during the new year as well. Many people coveted the location. However, Grandmother's storehouse manager, Mama Shen, was the most straightforward person. Every maid that entered the storehouse had to go through her thorough examination. Only by passing her examination would they be able to do so. It was said that a few years ago, Mother Du teased Mama Shen in front of her grandmother. Somehow, the teasing had reached Mama Shen's ears, causing such a ruckus.

If it weren't for the good relationship between Lan Li and Shen Ma, Wu'er wouldn't have been able to enter the warehouse to serve.

"Mom, don't say that!" I smiled and held up a teacup to Mama Du. "It was also because Wu'er was a simple and honest person that she entered Mama Shen's eyes."

These words were true.

Although Wu'er wasn't such a talented child, he was more loyal and honest than anyone else. He was most suited to doing counting and guarding jobs in the storeroom. Thus, Shen Jingbin's mother took notice of him. Otherwise, even if I were to say something, Shen Jingbin's mother would probably go on a rampage to get her back.

It's just that I'm not talking about it at this time because I'm obviously not praising the kid.

She had come all this way just to tell her mother, even though she had been a mother manager with her grandmother for many years. But Miss is Miss, Servant is Servant. The people and things in my room aren't things she can casually think about!

Mother Du understood what I meant, and smiled as she chatted with me. She instructed the maidservants to "listen to her sister's words" and other stuff. She didn't even take the gold bracelet and left.

"Miss, you are awesome!" Lan Li's eyes were smiling like crescent moons as she nimbly picked up the teacups that Mother Du used.

On the other hand, the green bandit ruthlessly patted Lan Li on the shoulder, and after glancing at the maidservants at the door, he glared at her. "What nonsense are you spouting!"

The green bandit was afraid that the maidservants would follow Lan Ling's example and act erratically.

Sooner or later it's someone in my house, and I don't think there's anything to be afraid of.

People have to laugh and laugh to get by.

"If I don't protect your sister, who will I wait for?" I smiled at Green Cock, motioning her not to be so nervous.

The green bandit pursed his lips and led the maidservants out of the room.

In Grandmother's room, the one standing in front of Grandmother was not the usual Mama Du, but the married red jade. One day, Grandma was still smiling when she looked at Mama Du. The next moment, her face sunk, leaving her with no choice but to stand far away and not dare to move forward.

Thinking about how I went to my grandmother's kitchen today to get a packet of lotus root powder from her, I couldn't help but smile.

I left that Spring Apricot, who was very close to Mama Chen, in the courtyard without any promotions or punishments, but she acted as if she had learned her lesson. She usually only does some cleaning, not even entering my house.

It's a good thing that I know the way back, and I have no intention of forcing anyone into a corner.

In comparison, Chun He ran over to Grandmother's side more frequently.

Otherwise, Mama Du wouldn't have been left hanging by her grandmother.

When I went back to my room at night, I called Chun He to speak with me. The girl was only ten years old, but she was short and fat. She smiled with dimples in her cheeks. There was a hint of playfulness in her simple and honest smile.

"Did your sisters ask you to go get the Lotus Root Starch?" I smiled and gave her a handful of sugar.

"That's not it..." The little girl blushed and lowered her head, tightly holding the candy in her hand.

"Then why did you go and get it?" I sat on the kang and smiled at her.

"Yes …" Yes... The Old Ancestor said that if someone bullies Miss, I will immediately find an excuse to tell her. " The little girl lowered her head, her face as red as a blooming lotus flower, and her voice as low as a mosquito.

I've been bullied?

I couldn't help laughing.

No wonder she was going to tell her grandmother that she was going to be angry with Mama Du!

I had thought that she would shirk and quibble, and I didn't want her to be so candid about it.

Did you think that I was bullied by Mama Du so you rushed to tell your grandmother?

Such a simple reason made it impossible for me to say anything reprimanding him.

"You have to tell me the next time you go to find Grandmother!" I reached out and touched her hair, soft and yellow.

"No!" "No way!" The little girl hurriedly shook her head and refused, "The Old Ancestor said we can't let you know!"

I couldn't help but smile. Grandmother had put such a simple and honest young maid into my room, so she hadn't thought to guard against me in the first place!

"Alright, then you don't need to tell me!" I laughed and pinched her little face, making her blush, her small ears pink.

At the side, when Lan Li and the green bandit saw her naive appearance, they also laughed.

"Miss, do you really not need to look at her and order?" After Chun He left the room with a box of snacks that I gave her, Lu Kui asked in a low voice with a hint of worry.

"She's just a silly big sis, what are you looking at her for?" Lan Liang's eyes were full of smiles. It was obvious that she very much liked those childish words of Chun He.

I took a sip from my teacup.

In terms of speaking and doing, the green bandit is not as good as Lan Ling. In terms of discerning people and discerning objects, the blue bandit is not as good as the green bandit.

"You can handle this matter!" I smiled and nodded at the Green Bandits. The expression on the Green Bandits' face relaxed as they smiled faintly at the Green Bandits.

"If you want to go, then go!" Lan Ling choked on her breath as she mumbled, "I won't do such a tiresome thing!"

I shook my head, appreciating the green bandit's caution more and more.

"Don't be in such a hurry, I still have something to ask the two of you!" I mischievously glanced at the two of them and waved them over with a smile.

Lan Ling giggled and squeezed to the edge of the kang beside me, while Lu Kou picked up the black paint foot under my feet and sat down.

"Even though I'm annoyed that Mother Du had thoughts about your sister …" I smiled and glared at the two of them. "But what mother said is right. You guys are already at the age to talk about marriage, so you should have already told me. You don't want me to mistake the Lovers Index!"

Although I was smiling, my heart was pounding.

If the two of them really wanted to marry, wouldn't I have to break my own arms?

Smart people were not rare, but it would take quite a bit of effort to nurture them back to this state.

Right now, King Qi has only just begun to usurp the throne. In order to fulfill his request, I can't do without someone who cares about me.

The green bandit was gentle and obedient as usual. He shyly lowered his head. Even Lan Ling blushed and lowered her head.

My heart sank.

It's over!

"Do you have someone you like?" I could hear my own voice trembling.
