I was a little surprised. I once heard from Lu Ping that there was only one boy in the house, and that there were four younger sisters. Lu Ke was the eldest daughter. Such a family must have placed great importance on their only son.

"Aren't you afraid of Lu Ping?" I started to speak but then stopped.

She shook her head. "Sister Lushuang is kind and diligent, and my mother wouldn't ask for anything else but to have someone who knows how to follow her brother."

Whose family chose their daughter-in-law didn't like to be smart and quick-witted. Lu Kui was a little girl who hadn't left yet, so it was natural that he couldn't understand his mother's intentions. Besides, I have never met Brother Lu Kuo. I would never entrust Lu Ping to an unreliable person.

"Let's talk on the way." I looked at the clock outside. If I don't set off now, it would be too late.

"My brother is the eldest son of the family. I have four younger sisters, and I am the eldest daughter." This coincided with what Lu Ping said.

"My father was with the old master in charge of the accounts, my mother was in the outer court washing up, my second sister was with my mother, and the remaining two sisters are still young." Green Bandits had already introduced his family. I nodded my head. In that case, the Lu family was actually quite simple.

"My brother is 18 years old this year and is now following the apprentice of Shopkeeper He. This year, my mother thinks it's time to propose marriage to brother, but there's never been a suitable girl." In the end, it was a young girl. The more Green Bandits spoke, the redder his face became.

"My mother thinks that the lady I found outside did not know everything and did not know her character. As for those around the lord of the mansion, I don't know who is old, so I'll help brother pay attention." The more the Green Widow spoke, the quieter its voice became.

"I didn't expect elder sister to be a matchmaker." Lan Ling had a mischievous smile on her face as she walked forward and patted Green Bandits on the shoulder.

Lu Ping's face suddenly turned red, she quickly waved her hand and said, "No! No! I was just helping big brother take a look, so naturally, I still have to ask for my mother's hand in marriage. I... I … How can I say kiss? " The more the green bandit explained, the more anxious he became, and the more sweaty he became, causing Lan Li and I to laugh.

Lu Kui also realized that the more he explained, the more he couldn't explain himself. He simply shut his mouth, his face flushed, and there was a helpless smile at the corner of his mouth.

To be able to raise a family as rich as the Green Bandits, it shouldn't be bad, right? I suddenly had the thought of looking at the elder brother of Lu Ping.

"Tell your mother to bring your brother to see me when she's free." I said to the green bandit with a smile, and a trace of joy slipped across his face.

I went into my grandmother's room, just in time for the maidservants to have breakfast. I don't think I have had breakfast with my grandmother for a long time.

Inside the house, Red Jade was standing in the hall, cutting flowers. Grandmother's bamboo pot had only just come in before she took a drag.

"Miss, you're finally here!" Hong Yu put down her scissors and greeted him with a smile.

"Elder sister." Lan Ling and the green bandit crouched down together.

"Old lady has been talking about you for quite some time. Why haven't you come yet? "Please quickly go in!" Hong Yu looked at the maidservants behind me and saw that there was no lush green grass. Her face changed color slightly, and in the blink of an eye, she had recovered her smiling appearance.

After entering the inner room, his grandmother sat on the kang next to the window. There were already many dishes on the table in front of her. Mother Du was standing in front of the table, fiddling with the plates and bowls. Grandmother had a mirror in her hand and was looking at the paper in it. When I came in, she put down what she was doing and smiled at me.

"Grandmother, why did you start eating breakfast without waiting for me?" I let out a coquettish snort as I walked in the door. Granny didn't wait for me.

Grandmother and Mother Du both laughed. Grandmother pointed at me and said to my mother, "Look at this monkey, I've been sitting here all day waiting for her to have breakfast together. This ignorant one, why don't you come in and ask me why he's eating first?"

Mother Du also laughed, "Miss is really close to you!"

"What did she give you, you old slave?" My grandmother pouted and turned her face away, making both my mother and I laugh. It was obvious from this action that Grandmother must have been a very smart and lovable beauty when she was young.

I took off my shoes and got on the brick bed. I saw that the food on the table was my favorite. On the plate, there was a golden pastry. On the blue and white porcelain plate, there were some sweet and sour pickled cherries. There were also a lot of things that I liked to eat.

"Where's Mother?" I reached for a piece of peach pie, which was very sweet with butter.

"I told your mother not to mess around and only use it in the yard over there." Grandmother looked at me as I ate the Peach Blossom. She lightly smiled and asked, "Is it good?"

"Delicious!" I smiled in response. In front of my grandmother, I always felt extremely relaxed. It was the look a child would have in front of his elders.

"Grandmother will also eat!" I took a piece of tortilla and offered it to my grandmother.

Grandmother narrowed her eyes and smiled. "When I was young, I loved to eat. Now that I'm old, I can't bite anymore." Yes, the tortillas were too hard, the pickled cherries were too sour, and these foods were not what Grandmother could eat. Remembering my grandmother's gentle words of consolation last night, I couldn't help feeling my eyes moisten when I specially arranged such a breakfast for me this morning.

"Grandmother." My mouth was stuffed with something, and now my nose was sore, and I suddenly choked and coughed a few times.

Grandmother also looked at my expression, afraid that I would cry. She smiled and said, "You can't just eat my food for nothing. I still have something for you to do!"

"What is it?" I wiped the tears from the corners of my eyes with the handkerchief. I didn't know if it was because I was moved or because I had just coughed.

"Let's talk after dinner." Mama Du brought Grandmother a bowl of porridge, which Grandmother stirred with a spoon.

"Then we'll talk about it after you finish eating!" I glanced at the bowl of porridge my grandmother was carrying.

After breakfast, the maidservants took away the dishes on the table. Mama Du was still attending to her. Grandma told her, "You should go out to eat. Call Hong Yu in to attend to her." Mother Du smiled in response, lifted the curtain and went out.

"Which one of these looks good?" Grandmother opened the cabinet and took out a stack of paperwork from the drawer. I reached out to take it.

There were many complex flower patterns on top of it. Some were surrounded by magpies, while others were filled with blessings. This was the look of a flower on a joyous handkerchief.

"Grandmother, can't you just ask elder sister Hongyu?" I think this marriage is a once-in-a-lifetime thing, and the most important thing is that the bride likes it.

"You should know that kid, Red Jade, she's the most meticulous one. I'll only choose the one I like with her." Grandmother looked at me with a smile. "I'm old and I like the way you young people might not like it. You take it to her and show her. Don't let her in the door and get laughed at by her sister-in-law." Grandmother wanted me to get closer to the red jade so that I could use it in the future.

"Do you think I should hand over the red jade marriage to you?" Grandmother smiled at me, her eyes full of trust.

"Grandmother, how nice of you." I hugged my grandmother against her, and she laughed and stroked my head.

"Old lady, young miss." Hong Yu came in and saluted before she stood in front of me. Grandmother gave me a wink.

This is also my first time arranging a marriage for someone else. In my previous life, I had never gone to a hall of worship before, and these marriage customs only heard from the maids and wives beside me that I would have to ask my grandmother about the details. I can also take the opportunity to spend more time with Grandmother.

"Elder sister, look at this. Which one looks good?" I pulled the red jade to sit on the brick bed, red jade can not win me, have to sit against the side.

Red Jade took the flowers and flipped through them, her face flushing red. In the end, she was a nineteen year old girl. With a single glance, she knew what she looked like.

"It's up to the young miss." Redjade flushed and shoved the handful of paper back into my hand.

"Eh? How can big sister do this? " I refused to take the paper, and the two of us jostled each other. Grandmother smiled and said, "Big girl, you have to pick out a favorite one for her."

Hong Yu shyly answered, and half-heartedly picked out a Five Blessings Lover. I pulled her hand and said, "Big sister also thinks this one is good. I also think this one is really good!"

Hong Yu knew that I was teasing her, so she glanced at me sideways with a mischievous smile on her face. "Then wait for Miss to leave the pavilion, I'll definitely embroider a purse like this for Miss!" I also blushed, tugging at her sleeve to say to grandmother: "Grandmother, you see I was kind to her control, she is still here to embarrass me!"

Grandmother laughed.

"Old granny, I'm from Huang Gui's family, I'm back." Mom's voice came from outside.

"You may leave!" Grandmother's smile faded and Red Jade withdrew.

Grandmother put the red jade flowers and put the rest back in the drawer. I saw it and smiled at Grandmother.

"Old lady!" Mama Huang came in and respectfully greeted him, "Eldest Miss!" He gave me a respectful bow.

"Sit down!" Her grandmother was completely devoid of the kind and gentle look she had when facing Hong Yu. Her tense face carried a trace of solemnity.

"Yes." The old woman sat on her chair, her every movement upright and upright.

"This servant has gone to the Gong family to take a look. That sister is dressed very neatly, and the coffin is a custom-made coffin. She said that it will be buried in the Gong family's ancestral tomb and will be waiting for the Gong family's second son and second wife to be buried together a hundred years from now." According to customs, when a child died, it could only be turned into ashes and sealed in a jar next to the mother. However, the Gong Family had made a coffin for the girl, and it was unknown how many of them were helped by the grandmother.

"You can relax now." Grandmother looked at me and sighed, "I originally wanted to send that Gong Family's wife to make you happy, but who would've thought that such a thing would happen."

"Grandmother, I understand." I held on to my grandmother's arm, choked with sobs.

"You may leave! There's no need to go to the Gong Family anymore. " His grandmother instructed his mother.

When Mama Huang left the room, Grandmother used a handkerchief to wipe my face. "It's a good thing that I didn't use any makeup today. Otherwise, my face would've been covered in tears again." I smiled through my tears and reached for the handkerchief in my grandmother's hand to wipe my face.

"If your servant doesn't agree, then we'll send him off. There's no need to trouble yourself so much." I was secretly shocked. Grandmother already knew about the matter of Lu Ping. She should be referring to Lu Ping.

"Granddaughter knows." I don't want my grandmother to get involved with Green Pink. To my grandmother, it seemed that Lushuang was just a servant. In my opinion, Lushuang had an extraordinary meaning to me.

"Yes." Grandmother saw my heart, and did not force me to continue to talk about the red jade marriage trivial matter.
