But after talking to her grandmother for a while, she was already yawning. I smiled and helped my grandmother up. "Please take a rest!" Grandmother also did not try to be forceful, laughing when I served her, wide clothes to go to bed.

"You've also learned how to weave for such a long time, so why don't you weave me a pair of summer socks!" Grandmother took my hand and yawned again.

I thought of the fine, embroidered summer socks in Red Jade's hand. The red jade is already married soon, still made the pair of summer socks, presumably spent the empty mind. If I make another pair of summer socks, won't I be arguing with her?

Thinking of this, I smiled and covered Grandmother's head with the quilt. I smiled and said, "I see that Grandmother's forehead color has become old. Let me make you a new one!"

Grandmother smiled and said, "That's fine too, I'm afraid you will lose face!" I smiled in embarrassment. Red Jade was adept at needlework, and everyone in the household knew it. If they were to really compete, then I would really lose face.

Not long later, Grandmother started to snore. Seeing that Grandmother was fast asleep, I quietly stood up and stood in front of a small basket behind Grandmother's bed. There was a bamboo basket on the top of the bed. There were needle and thread along the way.

I reached into the drawer and pulled it open. There was an empty shed, with bright paper and a pen under it. I took the pen and the paper and sat on the kang and tried to sew something on my grandmother's forehead.

Grandmother had always liked the color of festive flowers, and it just so happened that Grandmother's birthdate was also very recent, she might as well have embroidered a peony, using the method of stacking needles, under the petals is red, above it is pink, and above it is light pink, and then the stamen is embroidered with gold thread, it must look luxurious and dignified.

I leaned over the table and drew flowers. Soon, I drew dozens of different kinds of flowers. Some of them were extremely beautiful, some of them even had buds, some of them were slim and graceful under the leaves, and some of them were hazy under the green leaves.

He had enjoyed the painting to his heart's content, and it was now filled to the brim with a piece of paper. I straightened up and stretched, suddenly feeling strange behind me.

I looked back, and it gave me a shock!

Red Jade was standing behind me. She was looking at my drawing with rapt attention. She couldn't miss the stunning expression on her face.

I opened my mouth to scream, but then realized that my grandmother was still sleeping. She quickly covered her mouth, but her body still trembled a few times before she recovered.

When Hong Yu saw my appearance, she also realized that she had acted abruptly and hurriedly retreated a few steps back. When she saw that I wanted to shout out, she frantically placed a finger to her mouth, signalling me not to cry out.

"What did you come in for?" This is the first time I've seen Red Jade at a loss for what to do.

"Oh …" Oh … I came in to ask the old lady if it was time to serve dinner. " Hong Yu's silly appearance added to the charms of a young girl.

I glanced out the window. It was getting late. I got up and was about to get off the brick bed when Red Jade hurriedly squatted down to put on my shoes. I thought that Red Jade would probably follow me in the future.

"Grandmother! Grandmother! " I called softly, but my grandmother showed no sign of waking up.

"Young mistress, let me do it!" Red Jade stepped forward, and I moved out of the way of my grandmother's bed.

"Old lady!" Old lady! It's time to wake up! " Red Jade bent over and lightly patted her grandmother's leg.

"Mmm..." Moments later, Grandmother woke up. She turned around and opened her eyes.

"What time is it?" His grandmother, who had just woken up, had a hoarse and lazy voice.

"It's time for lunch." Red Jade replied softly.

"Let's set up the food then."

Hong Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I'll help you wash before I set the table." As she spoke, Red Jade stepped forward to help her grandmother up.

"Sigh!" When people get old, their memory will also get worse. " Grandmother patted her head and smiled at me and Red Jade. We both laughed.

"Go!" I'll dress Grandmother! " I said to Red Jade, who nodded. "Then I'll have to trouble Miss!" I went out to arrange it for Grandmother.

Since he was going to bring someone with him in the future, he might as well cultivate tacit understanding and trust as early as possible so as to save himself the trouble of failing at that time. Obviously, Grandmother also meant that, or she wouldn't have let me manage her marriage.

I went to the side to open my grandmother's wardrobe, chose a purple and red embroidered peony jacket, and from the inside selected a navy embroidered magnolia dress.

I put the dress in the crook of my arm and went from the wardrobe to Grandmother's bed, smiling. Grandmother was already up, sitting on the edge of the bed in her white pajamas, waiting for me.

"This isn't good!" Grandmother saw my clothes, "It's not like New Year's Day, it's not good to wear it like this!" Grandmother waved her hand.

"Why don't you look good? The last time I went there, the ancestor of the Xue Clan was wearing red! " I insisted on carrying the garment forward.

"Really? She's wearing red? " Grandmother looked at me with an incredulous expression.

"Of course, it's the exact red. It's still that silkworm cocoon with the dark patterns of the passion lotus on it. Sun Daughter sees it so seriously!" Actually, the old lady from the Xue family was wearing a jujube red last time.

"Then I won't look too strange wearing this color, right?" Grandmother was slightly tempted.

"Don't worry!" Wearing it will definitely make you look good! " I daintily put on my grandmother's clothes, and then tied up my grandmother's full skirt. Pulling her along with me, I stood in front of the mirror and looked at her again. "Do you think she looks young and spirited?"

There was a smile on her grandmother's face. She smiled as she smoothed out the wrinkles on her clothes.

"Old lady." Red Jade came in neither too late nor too late. She must have been waiting outside the door for us to finish our conversation before she came in.

Red Jade rolled up her sleeves, twisted a hot towel, and gave it to Grandmother. Grandmother took it and wiped her face. Behind her, there was also a maidservant carrying water with rose petals floating above the added hot water for Grandmother to wash her hands.

"I'm old, and there's no use in doing all this. It's a little girl like you that needs to be taken care of!" My grandmother reached into the basin and washed her hands and wiped them with the handkerchief.

Grandmother saw that I was still standing, so she smiled and said, "Don't look at it and add a little petal, but it's extremely useful." I looked at Grandmother's hands. Although there were some wrinkles on them, they were much smoother and whiter than those of my age.

I put my hand into the basin and washed it. A young maid passed a handkerchief to me to wipe my hands.

Grandmother smiled and said to me, "How can this bouncer be like you? He had to soak until the water was hot! I have some dried petals here, bring them back to your room and have your maidservants serve you. "

I had already sat on the kang and said to Grandmother with a smile, "I have some in my room too, but I'm just impatient!"

Grandmother had already combed her hair and got on the brick bed with the help of the red jade. She smiled and said, "Don't look at how young you are now. The sooner the maintenance is done, the better. "

"Yes, I will do as Grandmother says." I smiled and offered my grandmother a cup of tea.

After lunch with Grandmother, Grandmother wanted me to stay in her room to rest for the afternoon. Thinking about Lu Ping, who I had locked in my room, I politely declined Grandmother's invitation and brought Lu Kui and Lan Lingyun back to the house.

On the way, Lan Li said in a low voice, "Miss, I'll make our Chun Ling look at Lu Pingjie. Chun Ling just said that she didn't eat anything last night and this morning."

I nodded my head. Lu Ping's personality was stubborn and her hunger strike was within reason. I had already thought that she would do so when I confined her.

After returning to the courtyard, Lan Yu helped me change my clothes, and the Green Bandits loosened my hair. Lan Li carefully served a cup of hot tea, and asked tentatively, "Miss, have you not seen Lu Ping-jie?"

"She won't die from hunger even if she's hungry for a few rounds. Let's talk about it after she thinks it through!" I flipped through the book on the side of my hand.

When Lan Lingyun saw my anxious attitude, she didn't know how to persuade me. She just stood there foolishly at the side and stared at me.

I couldn't stand her gaze, so I put down the book and got up from the kang. "I'm going to sleep," I said.

Lan Li couldn't help feeling a little disheartened. She came up and helped me put on my shoes, then helped me into bed, before quietly retreating out of the room.

After tossing and turning, I still couldn't sleep. The matter of Lu Ping had always been on my mind. I used to want Lu Ping to stay by my side, and even if she was a little dull, she wouldn't have any big problems with me. But now, it would seem that it wasn't the case. If I wanted to keep Lemmy with me, I'd have to give her no job at all. But if she did that, would she really be able to stay in my room? It was obviously impossible! Since this matter had already happened, he might as well take advantage of this opportunity to marry her out. It might be a good thing for her to have a peaceful heart at home and teach her a lesson. However, I still have to see what's going on with Brother Lu Kuo.

"Lan Li!" "Green Bandits!" I stood up and called out softly.

"Sigh!" Lan Ling replied through the window. After a while, Lan Ling and the green bandit walked in together.

When Lan Lingyun saw that I had already gotten up, she hurriedly went up to welcome me. "How come Miss got up so quickly?" Lan Lingyun took the white moon-white silkworm silk coat that I had left on a shelf to help me put on.

"Put on some clothes for me!" A hint of happiness flashed across Lan Ling's face. The Rooster knew that I had to comb my hair after I changed my clothes, so he quickly went out to make the arrangements.

Lan Lingyun went to open the cabinet and brought out an orange and pink embroidered mandarin duck vine and a lake blue pleated skirt. Just as she was putting them on for me, Lu Kui and a servant girl came in with a basin full of roses. Green Buccaneer pursed his lips into a smile.

After washing my face, Green Cock gave me a double bun and a pair of pearl gold hairpins.

"Go, call Lu Ping over." I took off my shoes and got on the brick bed. After hearing this, Lu Ping ran out happily.

"Why did you change the chrysanthemum tea?" I frowned.

"Chrysanthemum tea to clear the heart and moisten the lungs." Lu Kui replied with a smile. I couldn't help but laugh. That was because Lu Ping never left my mouth. This was hinting that these two girls were really good!

There was a sound of blue light outside the window, gradually entering, then the blue light curtain was lifted, and Lu Ping followed in.

"Miss!" Lu Ping squatted down to pay her respects. Her face was somewhat pale, but she was very calm.

"You know you're wrong?" Looking at the pale face of the lush green duckweed and the raised lips, I feel very sad. Lu Ping is the person I trusted the most in my previous life. Now, I can't let her stay by my side.

"This servant doesn't know." Although her voice was soft, it was firm. She knelt on the smooth ground, her reflection reflected in the stone, looking helpless.

"Sister! "Elder sister!" Upon hearing Lu Ping's answer, Lan Ling became extremely anxious. Kneeling beside Lu Ping, she tugged her sleeve and said, "Elder sister, you didn't tell me that!"

Lu Ping suddenly raised her head. Tears flowed from her eyes and dripped onto her face. She didn't wipe them away and only looked at me directly. "Miss, I have been by your side since I was young. "But ever since I fell last winter, Miss has always disliked me left and right!" When Lan Li heard what Lu Ping said, she panicked and wanted to pull her up.

"Let her finish." I took a sip from my teacup. Lu Ping's nature is simple, I had already expected to think like this.

"Miss, it's fine if you scold me! Aunt Chen also suffered what she deserved, but … But the wet nurse, when the wet nurse died, you did not shed a single tear, that is from small milk big you! And lassie, such a cute child, she didn't even know anyone when she died, and she even called you 'big sister', but miss, you don't even feel sad! Miss, how did you become so heartless? "

I never expected that this would happen to me. I thought that she would feel my sadness, that she would understand the reason why I was so angry. That's right, I was the only one who thought of her. She only felt that I was heartless and unfeeling towards the people around me! That's all!

Instead of getting angry, I laughed. Good! You're right! This is how cruel I am! If I am not ruthless, how can I protect you all? "

Lan Li was going to pull Lu Ping again, afraid that she would say something inappropriate. I have heard enough of the folly of Lina and acquiesced.

Lu Ping pushed Lan Lan away. Lan Lingyun staggered a few steps, and it wasn't because of the support from Lu Kou that she fell to the ground.

"Miss, you only said that Madam was scheming against you, aren't you scheming against others as well?!" When Lan Ling and the green bandit heard Lu Ping's words, they turned pale with fright. The two of them hurriedly went forward to hold onto Lu Ping, and Lan Li even covered her mouth, afraid that she would continue to spout nonsense.

Lu Ping didn't know that my mother wanted to marry me to an old man in my fifties as a concubine, and even more so, didn't know that I was a child in a stillborn womb. Naturally, she wouldn't understand the hatred that filled me.

I sighed. "Take her back to her room!" The two of them personally escorted her back to her room.

Thinking of the past, I couldn't help but shed tears. I quickly took out a handkerchief from my sleeve to wipe the corners of my eyes.

"Miss, Mother Gong and her daughter-in-law are here!" Mama Zhao's voice came from the door.

"Let them in." I took a small glass mirror and looked at it. Fortunately, the corners of my eyes were red.

With a lift of the curtain, a woman in her forties entered the house, followed by a twenty year old daughter-in-law.
