Grandmother was old, and she often woke up at night. She asked for tea three times a night, and twice a night she would wake up only about an hour and a half at a time. I sat down in a chair to one side, and each time I was just beginning to get sleepy and was about to get up. He tossed and turned until it was a quarter to ten when he heard voices coming from his grandmother's courtyard.
It was just a misty light outside, but Grandmother turned over to get up. I hurriedly went to serve Grandmother. Just as I put on my shoes for her, Hongyu and the servant girl came in to wash her face.
Red Jade held a lamp in her hand as she gently squatted down to bless me. I quickly called out, "Sister Red Jade!"
No wonder the maidservants in front of the elders were respected.
"Go back and rest. They will serve me." Grandmother took a sip of the tea offered by the red jade and threw it up into the spittoon held in the hands of the old woman.
I nodded. After this night, I was tired, my eyes were sore, and my waist was sore.
"Then granddaughter will pay respects to grandmother later." I bent down to salute.
Grandmother waved her hand. "Come back for dinner tonight!"
"Yes." When I walked out of the hall, I saw Lu Ping and Lan Lingyun waiting for me in the hall. I remembered that I hadn't seen these two girls since I entered my grandmother's room last night, so I forgot about them.
"Miss!" Both of them welcomed me with glee. Lu Ping grabbed my hand and looked back and forth while Lu Ping squatted down two to three steps away from me to get lucky.
"Miss, were you alright last night? "I'm so worried!" Lan Li's expression changed as she hastily pulled on Lu Ping's sleeve. I smiled and glanced at Lan Li. She was really a shrewd person with a heart as meticulous as dust.
"Let's talk after we get out!" With one hand holding the lily in mine and the other holding the lily, the three of us walked out together.
"How did you sleep last night?" I asked Lu Ping.
"Last night, I stayed in her room with big sister Hongyu. When Lan Lingyun returned home, she came over this morning." "Yes," said Green Pine.
"Why did he only choose the forward position?" I turned and smiled at Lan.
"Last night I asked big sister Hongyu and said that the old lady usually gets up from five to one. "This servant thought that it would be bad if I came too early, so I chose the time to come."
I suddenly rejoiced in my heart. I really picked up a pearl.
Just as he walked out of his grandmother's courtyard, he saw a group of people gathered at the entrance of Jiaomen. Following that, his mother, who was escorted by her mother, also came out from the Jiaomen.
My mother turned her head and saw me standing at the front door with two girls, waving at me.
I smiled bitterly. If I knew earlier, I would have come out a little later!
"Mother." I squatted down to pay my respects, and the two maidservants behind me lowered their heads as well.
"You just came out of your grandmother's house?" My mother took my hand and stood beside her. The two girls had to follow behind the servant woman my mother was leading.
"Yes, Grandmother just got up." I lowered my head and replied obediently.
"Is your grandmother ill?" My mother raised her eyebrows at me, obviously still treating me as a child and trying to get the words out of me. I couldn't help but admire my grandmother from the bottom of my heart, and I remembered that what I had done before wasn't full of holes. It was all thanks to my grandmother's mother that I hadn't discovered it.
"The doctor said that Grandmother was depressed, and was thinking too much." I only made up a few random words about what I read in the book.
His mother actually had a look of schadenfreude on her face as she asked, "Then did the doctor prescribe medicine for your grandmother?"
"It opened! But I don't know pharmacology, and I can't remember now. " My reply was straightforward. My mother was my grandmother's daughter-in-law after all. She actually hoped that my grandmother would be sick. It wouldn't be weird for such a person to feed me that medicine.
Her mother was a little disappointed, but soon recovered her pleasant expression, not at all like someone who had spent the night taking care of a patient.
That's not right! His mother seemed to be brimming with energy and vigor. She couldn't possibly look like she hadn't slept a wink the entire night. He also thought about how his mother valued him. Her mother was a proper wife, so how could she lower herself to serve a concubine? That being the case, his mother had only stayed with Aunt Chen for the sake of her reputation as a virtuous and magnanimous woman. In front of the bed, there was a cup of tea, and a cup of tea. The maid was there to serve the servant, so when she sat by the side and commanded the maidservant to do so, she would serve the servant as well. Mother really was a good calculator.
Mother brought a group of people to send me back to my courtyard. I sneered. She wanted to turn me into a good wife and mother to the end.
I stood at the entrance to the courtyard as two maidservants slipped back behind me.
"Thank you mother for sending me back. Mother should go back and rest as well!" I smiled and bowed.
"I'm just going back to get my luggage." My mother reached out and adjusted the straps of my cloak around my chin.
Taking out the bedding and the dowry meant that he would have to personally serve Aunt Chen? It seemed that his mother had been moved by his grandmother's idea of giving him her name. He wondered if she would have the idea of going to his mother's house. His mother had always been a proud and reserved person, so she shouldn't have done such a thing, right?
"Then mother, go quickly." I smiled at my mother, the rising sun dazzled my eyes.
"Go to your grandmother's place early." The loving expression on his mother's face was about to spill out.
I nodded my head obediently. My mother looked at the two little girls behind me before supporting her mother's hand as we left.
I brought the two girls into the door, where Lu Kui was waiting. He went up to me and called out in a low voice, "Young Mistress."
"Yes." I didn't stop. I just wanted to go to bed.
"Lan Li prepared breakfast for Miss before she left. Miss, do you need some?" After hearing that, I pursed my lips and smiled. Then, I glanced at the Green Bandits teasingly.
Although this girl was smart, she was really thick and docile. She didn't fight over it nor snatch it. However, she still had to point out that it was Lan Li who ordered her to cook for breakfast.
"Then let's eat first." I told Lan Li.
"Yes sir!" Lan Lingyun responded with a smile, turned a corner, and went to the kitchen.
Lu Ping and Lu Kou followed me into the house. Together, they helped me change my clothes. Lu Kou packed up all the clothes and accessories I had changed. Lu Ping followed me out of the inner room and served me a cup of hot tea on the brick bed.
I took it and took a sip. Originally, I thought it was just hot tea but instead it was milk tea. Inside, there was the sweet fragrance of honey. After drinking it, my stomach suddenly felt a lot better.
"Who did this?" I asked, pointing to the tea.
The green bandit had already finished packing his clothes and stood in front of me. He replied with a smile, "This is made by a servant. Lan Lingyun said that Miss stayed up all night and needed to drink some milk to nourish her stomach." This was truly a failure.
The green bandit was the son of a family. No wonder he could make this milk tea. Our family had moved here from the south, and we weren't used to drinking this milk tea, so it wasn't common in the house.
Lan Lingyun came in with the serving maid. When she saw me drinking the milk tea, she asked, "Miss, is it good?" There was a hundred percent certainty in his tone.
"Oh? I suppose you've had it? " I asked, looking at her.
"This servant will give the little miss a try first!" Lan Lingyun smiled as she took the breakfast from the box and placed it on the table.
"Look at your glib tongue!" Lu Ping smiled and poked Lan Ling with her finger.
Lan Ling did not dodge. She smiled as she looked at Lu Ping and said, "Miss said it was delicious. Why is it that you still do not see elder sister reward me?"
"What a shameless little hoof! Clearly it was brewed by the Green Bandits. If you want to reward her, that's her reward. What does it have to do with you? " Lu Ping held onto Lu Kou's hand, and the two of them laughed together.
This time, he couldn't help but admire Lan Ling. In the past, the relationship between Lu Ping and Lu Ke wasn't bad, but they had always been cold and indifferent. Lan Lingyun had only been here for a few days, but the three of them had already become intimate with each other.
"Okay, okay, I don't want it anymore, okay?" Lan Lingyun used a handkerchief to wrap the chopsticks and handed it to me. The dishes on the table were much more exquisite than usual, and there were only three or five types of pastries.
After eating three pieces of cake and a bowl of porridge, I felt increasingly sleepy. I said, "You guys should head down to rest as well. I'm going to take a rest."
