Miss!" The old woman had a flattering smile on her face. It was indeed her mother, Gong from her grandmother's house. It was said that this mother Gong had followed her grandmother all the way from Jiangnan to Saibei, but her mother had long since taken care of the affairs of her grandmother's house, while this mother Gong had only helped her grandmother manage the affairs of the manor. He couldn't get Master's help, and Master wasn't a fool. There must be something wrong with this servant.

"Mom." I hurriedly stood up to help her up. "You're an old man from Grandmother's house. You don't dare to pay your respects to me." There was a smile on her face.

"Miss." Gong's second wife came forward to pay her respects. She wore a dark blue jacket with a black dress tied underneath. She only wore a plain silver hairpin on her head. Her body was simple and unadorned, making her look even more pale. Her eyes were swollen like peaches, and the corners of her eyes were red. Standing behind the plump and plump mother Gong, she looked even more haggard.

"Thank you miss for your help, my girl can..." Second Wife Gong took a step forward and knelt on the ground. She only said the first half of the sentence before she could not continue.

Mama Gong glared at her and said, "Many thanks, Miss. Our second son's daughter has to go in the proper way." "If not for the kindness of our young mistress and the old lady, our family would not have been able to …" Gong-mu's mother began a long speech, Gong-Er's wife stretched out her hand to tug at her mother-in-law's sleeve, but Gong-ma didn't notice.

The more Gong-mama spoke, the more out of place she became. I fiddled with the teacup on the table, while Gong-jie's wife's expression became more and more unsightly.

"Miss!" Lan Ling and the green bandit returned. Seeing that there was someone in the room, Lan Lingyun was a little surprised. She hurriedly used her sleeve to wipe her slightly red eyes.

I glanced at the clock in the outer room. It was already getting late, if I didn't go to Grandmother's room now, it would be too late.

"What did the sisters do?" Mama Gong smiled and greeted Lan Li and Lu Ke with a long speech. Lan Li and Lu Ke exchanged a few words before they went to hold Gong Er's wife's hand.

"Miss, it's time to pay respects to the old lady!" Lan Lingyun asked in a loud voice when she saw my expression.

I stood up, and Lan Ya helped me into my shoes. I tugged on my clothes and said, "I think you should pay respects to Grandmother as well. Just follow me there!"

Gong's mother smiled in response, but Gong Er's wife followed behind with a dispirited look on her face. Earlier, when Gong's second wife spoke of her mother-in-law, she only said that she was not very happy because she had given birth to a daughter. I only considered her to be an eccentric old man. Now that he saw her fawning over the death of her grandson, it showed that she really was a bastard.

When I entered my grandmother's room, the young maid was standing outside the curtain. She smiled at me when I entered the room and sent a message: "The young miss is here!"

Hong Yu came out to welcome him, smiling as she said, "Miss, you're finally here. The old lady has been reciting 'you' for a long time! To be honest, why are you not here yet! "

Mama Gong knew the rules of her grandmother's house. She just stood at the door. I turned my head and whispered, "I went in first to reply to Grandmother."

Hearing this, mother Gong smiled and nodded her head in agreement. On Gong Er's wife's face, a bitter smile appeared, and Lu Kulan and Lu Kulan stood at the side, looking at Gong Er Wife with some reluctance.

Grandmother was sitting on the kang near the window, wearing reading glasses and holding a book of papers. When he saw me approaching, he put down the document.

"Why did you come so late today?" Grandmother took off the floral mirror, red jade took the box and put the floral mirror away.

"The mother Gong in your courtyard and the daughter-in-law Gong in my room just came to pay their respects to me, but they were delayed for quite a while." The red jade used the little pink cup to make me a cup of tea, I hurriedly reached out to take it and put it on the kang table.

"Oh." Grandmother clearly did not like this topic, as she indifferently replied, the joyous expression on her face also lessened by a bit.

"Since Grandmother rewarded Grandmother with fifty silver taels, mother Gonggong wanted to pay respects to Grandmother, so she came along with me." Mother Gong and Second Wife Gong were still standing outside the door. Even though Mother Gong was stupid and ignorant, Second Wife Gong still had a bit of face.

"Tell her that I know and let her go back!" This time, the happiness on Grandmother's face had completely disappeared. She only picked up a cup of tea and took a sip to moisten her lips.

"Grandmother!" I took my grandmother's arm. I shake my grandmother and act coquettishly.

"Good!" Good! "Alright!" Grandmother could not resist my rubbing. She only touched my head and said in a somewhat willful tone, "If it weren't for you, I would not have seen that silly old thing!" This made both Red Jade and I smile.

"Old lady!" As his mother entered the room, she knelt on the floor of the brick bed, her flattering smile growing even wider. "Thank you for your grace, my grandson and daughter can only …" His mother's words became more and more unbecoming, and the cold smile on his grandmother's face grew colder by the moment.

The more her mother spoke, the more pleased she became with herself. She talked about how she had followed her grandmother all the way to the bitter and cold north of the city without any intention of stopping. Her rambling voice echoed back and forth in the room.

"Mother!" "Mother!" Gong Er's wife also had an extremely ugly expression on her face. She pulled on her mother-in-law's sleeve and shot her a look.

Mama Gong was talking about how excited she was, how could she care about these things? Hong Yu looked at her grandmother's increasingly gloomy face and finally stood up. She said to her grandmother with a low voice, "Old lady, it's time for dinner!"

"You can arrange it!" Grandmother's face was pale. Gong's second wife understood what Hong Yu meant, and her face turned red and white for a moment. She quickly pulled her mother-in-law and said: "Mother, let's go back as well! "I'm afraid sister-in-law won't be able to get away either!"

Mother Gong laughed, "Why can't your eldest sister-in-law handle it? Last time when Ol 'Three was married, it was also because of her internal and external support! "

Gong's second wife's eyelids drooped down as tears began to fall. She only said, "Mother, I'm afraid that Ni`er's mourning hall is in trouble. I will return first." Gong-mu's mother looked at her daughter-in-law with a look of anger. The daughter-in-law seemed to have no more patience to deal with her mother-in-law. She bowed to the masters, and her grandmother gave her another twenty taels of silver as thanks before sending her out of the room with the red jade.

There was only my grandmother and I sitting on the kang, and Mama Gong, who was standing on the floor, continued to talk when her wife came out, and then began to talk about her dissatisfaction with Gong Er's wife.

I smiled inwardly. This mother Gong was really interesting! It was simply stupid! Anyone with some experience should know that a funeral couldn't be compared to a joyous occasion, not to mention the flesh on the back of the hand. Who would be a mother-in-law like this? Furthermore, how did someone who could not change his mind manage to get to his grandmother's courtyard and take on such a high and mighty job? It was not a very obvious job, but it was a job with a very high price to pay. Grandmother did not want to give such a job to a fool just for the sake of old friendships!

"Old lady, the Madam is here!" The voice of a young maid came from outside the door.

Her mother was dressed in a red embroidered peach blossom brocade, a yellow palace skirt, a godly bun, a pair of pure gold haircut, clear eyes, red cheeks, and an extraordinary spirit.

"Mother!" Have you recovered from your injuries? " As soon as his mother entered the door, she happily greeted his grandmother.

"I feel better now." Grandmother picked up the teacup from the table and moistened her lips.

"Mama Gong is here too!" The mother smiled and nodded at her mother.

How strange! Mother had always thought highly of herself and rarely spoke to the servants and women. But now she was speaking to this obscure mother, Gong, in such an amiable manner. I have already seen this mother Gong, she is really, unbearably vulgar! Could it be that this mother Gong has some sort of inner talent?

"Madam!" His mother laughed and bent her knees. His mother actually extended a hand to help his mother up, laughing very sincerely. "The Golden Flower Wine that I gave to your mother last time, is your mother well after drinking it?"

"Good!" Good! I've sealed the rest and am only waiting for the New Year to come! " Gong-mama answered with a smile, completely silly.

"How can it be used like this? It's not something that's worth anything!" "Mom only likes to go to my place to get it!" The mother held her mother's hand, speaking with passion.

"Thank you Madam! "It's all thanks to Madam that I managed to gain a bit of dignity in the house!" Mama Gong wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve. Her mother had a little smug smile on her face, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Grandmother was still sitting on the kang when she said this. I turned to my grandmother, whose face was bland and expressionless.

Red Jade brought the servants into the house to set up the food. After a moment, Mama Gong left with a reluctant expression on her face when she saw that her grandmother had neither asked her to eat nor serve her.

Even though he said so, occasionally, when the atmosphere was warm, they would chat and laugh together, only then would the food become lively. Grandmother and her mother ate without a word. Grandmother wanted to tell her mother that even though she was in charge of the family affairs, she still had to stick to her filial piety!

The dishes were still the ones that Grandmother usually used, but there was a light green pastry on the table. There was a faint sweetness in the air and Grandmother ate four or five pieces of them consecutively.

The maidservants cleared the tables and served tea. Grandmother then said, "Then who made the pastries?

"It was brought by the Madam." Hong Yu answered with a smile. She then poured tea into the teapot for Grandmother.

"I made it for my mother from the recipe and steamed it with elm money." Mother smiled as she replied, "Mother, you can no longer eat sugar. I will often send some pastries over." My mother also took a sip from her teacup.

So my mother asked my grandmother about her health. I'm afraid my grandmother's health isn't as healthy as it seems. My mother already knows about it.

Grandmother smiled. "Then you should send me more in the future." Not to hit a smiling person, grandmother has no reason to refuse mother. Besides, Grandmother didn't want her mother to know that she was in poor health, but she did want her mother to spoil her father's son while Grandmother was in a daze. Now that his mother was sincerely looking forward to his aunt's child, it would be of little use for his grandmother to conceal her illness.

To tell the truth, I was very glad that my mother knew about my grandmother's illness. In this way, grandmother's illness was placed on the surface, and it was more convenient for grandmother to be treated.

"How's the house?" Grandmother leaned on the pillow, while Hong Yuyi punched Grandmother's leg on the edge of the kang.

"Aunt Chen has already recovered. She found a few doctors to say that she has a very stable fetus!" His mother laughed heartily with a sincere smile on her face.

"Good child, you can leave first!" "Let me talk to your wife!"

Hong Yu's face reddened. Knowing that she had to say her piece, she took out a brocade blanket and placed it on her grandmother's leg. Then, she bowed and left.

"Yuanyuan is getting older, I want her to help me arrange Hongyu's marriage." My grandmother looked at me and said to my mother with a faint smile.

"What?!" It was obvious that his mother was very surprised and spilled the tea onto her clothes without paying attention.

"She's just a child, how can she do that?" His mother had objected the moment she opened her mouth.

"The shop can even manage it, what does this count as!" Grandmother's smile was as light as the wind.

"In the end, how can a little girl who has yet to leave the pavilion be able to do something like this?"

"Yuanyuan will be in charge in the future. Red Jade is just a little girl like me. "If you still don't understand these things when you become the mistress in the future, people will only think that our Yang family is not strict with our discipline and can't teach our girls well!" I didn't think my grandmother would be so blunt.

His mother's expression was somewhat bitter, and after opening her mouth several times, she was unable to say what she was thinking.

How could anyone ever think of teaching me how to govern a family when they were never ready to marry me properly? Recalling my previous life, what my mother taught me was just a trick to please men. In this life, my grandmother, however, taught me to be a good person and stood behind me to support me. How could I not be moved?

"Mother, that …" Is my mother still planning to give me to Master Xue? I couldn't help but sneer as I secretly touched the patterns on my sleeve. In this life, I must hold my life tightly in my hand.

"Then it's settled!" Grandmother did not want to continue this issue with her mother, so she started talking about Aunt Chen. "If you find it inconvenient to meet her, then take her back with you! At that time, I was not considerate enough. " Grandmother let out a faint sigh.
