"Mother, what are you saying!" "You are doing this for this family!"

Grandmother nodded. "You're a filial child!" She patted her mother's hand in gratification. "Go and take a look! That's not an easy thing to do either. "

His grandmother's words were full of intimacy, and the smile on his mother's face became appropriate. She obediently answered as she brought the people by her side back to the side yard.

My mother must have left the yard and my grandmother stood up from the kang.

"Let me help you to bed!" I got up from the stool and reached out to help my grandmother to her feet.

Grandmother had a mischievous smile on her face. The wrinkles on her face relaxed. She pulled my hand and said, "I just don't like to see her putting on an act!" Grandmother got up with my help and held my hand as they walked around the room.

"Walk one hundred steps after the meal and live to ninety-nine!" Grandmother looked at me eagerly.

"Yes, granddaughter will definitely supervise grandma from now on!" I mischievously looked at Grandmother, who chuckled.

Grandmother walked over to the kang, opened the drawer on the kang, and took out the book that Grandmother had been reading when I came in.

Grandmother took the book and handed it to me with a smile.

I opened the document and saw that it was the deed of a house in a large doorway. If it was in Grandmother's name, it must be Grandmother's body.

"This is?" I held onto that thin piece of paper, feeling quite puzzled. Why did you suddenly give this to me?

"This is my dowry for that child Hongyu." Grandmother stroked the seal on the cover of the document, her eyes filled with the kindness of an elder.

Although this mansion wasn't big, it had an extremely good location. The street in front was the most bustling part of White City, and the street in the back was a courtyard that the nobles had purchased. This mansion was precious because it was a place where even if one had money, one might not necessarily be able to buy it. On the surface, Grandmother had already prepared 24 liters of dowry for Red Jade. The things inside were all real things, and with such a mansion secretly stuffed inside, it was no different from a normal family marrying a daughter.

"Grandmother is such a generous person." I laughed so much that my eyes curved, I pinched the paper and teased my grandmother.

Grandmother caressed my hair and smiled. "Are you afraid that I won't be able to prepare your dowry?"

"You can... "Really!" I gently gave Grandmother a nudge and Grandmother giggled.

"If you give Hong Yu this house, she can marry out of it. The new house is in the outer court's servants' quarters. What do you think?" Grandmother led me around the room.

"I don't think so."

Red Jade was someone that Grandmother had released. She had left the side of a young master to begin with, and now that she had gained some dignity, the dowry that Grandmother had arranged for her was extremely valuable. But that Zhou's mother's house was … Hong Yu was going to marry someone else, so marrying someone like this with a big mouth and a big mouth might not be a good thing.

"Hmm?" Grandmother looked back at me.

I helped my grandmother to the kang and offered her a cup of hot tea.

"Think about it, if Elder Sister Red Jade marries out of that house, people will know that you gave that house to Elder Sister Red Jade." Think about it, if Elder Sister Red Jade marries out of that house, people will know that you gave that house to Elder Sister Red Jade. I gently urged Grandmother, but I didn't know if Grandmother would listen to me.

"Then where should we get the red jade from?" Grandmother obviously agreed with me.

"I think it's better for sister to marry from my shop! That place is far from our residence and should be carried here for around an hour. I thought about it, afraid of hurting my grandmother's face.

Grandmother looked at me with a smile. After I finished speaking, she clapped her hands and said, "So you're saying that I let you take a big advantage of me?"

"What do you mean?" I coquettishly said, "Elder sister has gone. I'll naturally treat it as eating and drinking." This wasn't it! The maidservants who are married to my sister, the ladies, the mothers, the bearers of the palanquins, and the servants who run errands, there must be at least forty to fifty of them. I did not settle the score with Grandmother, and Grandmother even started settling the score with me.

Grandmother raised her eyebrows. "Do you mean that I owe you one?"

"Of course!" I solemnly nodded my head as the smile in my heart couldn't help but appear.

"Our Yuanyuan has really grown up." "I was worried that you would find something out of the ordinary, but I didn't expect you to be so much more thoughtful than I thought." Grandmother's eyes were filled with gratification and satisfaction.

"Thank goodness I have my grandmother to teach me." I reached out and tightly held Grandmother's hand. I hoped that I could become Grandmother's support in the future.

"It's getting late, you can go back now." There were no servants in the house, so my grandmother personally went to get my wind pocket and tied it for me.

"Although it's already the middle of April, the night is still a bit cold. Wear more clothes when you enter." Grandmother reached out to straighten the straps of my jaw.

"Granddaughter remembers." I smiled in response to my grandmother's words.

"If you can't control the affairs of the courtyard, come and tell me." Grandmother's brow was slightly pale, appearing exceptionally old.

I was a little taken aback, and indeed nothing escaped my grandmother's eyes. Lu Ping was someone close to me, so I didn't want to use Grandmother's thunderous methods to deal with her.

"I can handle it." If he didn't want his grandmother to interfere, he might as well reject her in advance. Otherwise, it would become increasingly difficult for him to force her to agree to help him in the future.

"Then go!" Gran smiled and patted my hand, then walked me to the door.

It was an unusual day. Lan Li and Lu Ke weren't waiting for me at the door. Only the little girl was waiting by the curtain. When she saw me come out, she hurriedly called out, "Miss, you've left."

After exiting the main entrance, Lan Ling and the Green Bandits came out of the red jade room. The red jade sent me to the door.

"Miss." Lan Ling and Lu Ke walked up and stood on either side of her, but they didn't seem happy at all. "We found out about Big Sister Hong Yu's matter and went to give her a gift."

I nodded my head. Hongyu is my grandmother's most prized girl, so I should gift her a gift.

"Give a gift for Lu Ping as well! They only said that she had caught a cold and was bedridden, and could not come send them off personally. " Although Lu Ping was making a ruckus, in the future, she would be staying at the Manor. She could not refuse this gift.

"I've already sent him off." Lan Lingyun replied with a smile, "The excuse I used is exactly the same as what Miss said." I couldn't help but laugh. Who wouldn't be able to think of an excuse that even a maid could come up with? Even if this matter with Lu Ping did not blow up, it was likely that there would be discussions about it in the future.

I brought the two maids back to the courtyard. There was a maid who came to talk to Lan Li. The green bandit followed me into the house.

After changing clothes, Lan Li was already waiting in the inner room. Seeing me leave the screen, she hurriedly went up to me and greeted, "Miss, something's wrong! Elder Sister Lu Ping had not eaten all this while, so she is now unconscious. "

Lu Ping had not eaten all this while, so it was normal for her to be so hungry that her head would spin.

"Go!" Come with me to see her! "

Lu Ping lived in the room closest to me. The door was now closed, and it no longer had its usual liveliness and liveliness.

Lan Li knocked on the door and shouted, "Sister, Miss has come to see you!"

The room was silent.

I reached for the door and pushed it open. The beam of light shone on the ground and the golden dust in the air flew up and down.

Lu Ping was lying on the brick bed with a green cotton quilt covering her face. Her eyes were closed and her face was pale. Within two or three days, she had become much more haggard.

"Big sister, the little miss has come to see you." Lan Ling called out again, but the person lying on the bed still didn't respond.

"Sister! "Elder sister!" Lan Ling was so frightened that she ran over in a fluster. Lying on the bed of the lush green pond, she shook her.

Ridiculous! I haven't heard of a man being starved to death in two or three days. It's only because I value her that I do such a thing.

"Lu Ping, if you want to go out, just say it! I will definitely not mistreat you for all our years of friendship! " My voice was calm and cold, and the words startled me. I never thought I would say such a thing.

Tears rolled down Lu Ping's fair cheeks. Then, she opened her eyes, her once clear black and white eyes were now bloodshot.

"I'll ask you one last time, do you think you're right?" Seeing Lu Ping in such a state, my heart felt as though it was being stabbed by a knife. I immediately lowered my voice.

Lu Ping tightly pursed her lips as tears rolled down from her eyes. Lan Li wanted to go up and persuade Lu Ping, but my harsh eyes forced her back.

"You still think you're right, don't you?" I couldn't help but sneer. Lan Li felt that the cause of the disturbance was Lu Ping's own decision. How was it because of this matter? Can it be that I have had a feud with Lu Ping for a long time?

"Then I'll tell you what's wrong with you! I ask you to visit me, and I ask you to be warmly received and treated, not because of you, but because you represent me. I do not cry, not because of my sadness, but because of crying, tears do not help. The thing that you are most at fault for is not these trivial matters, but rather, it is because you do not know when you should do these things! "

The sound of green duckweed sobs reverberated in the room. Lan Liang and green bandit couldn't help but wipe away their tears.

"Although this matter has already been concealed, it's impossible for you to continue being a servant in my courtyard." Let me point you in the right direction. After the marriage in red jade is completed, I will point out a marriage to you when Grandmother is in a good mood. You can marry as you please, or go back to my side, or go somewhere else, and I can help you. " I had lost my patience with her, and only picked the important part.

"Hahaha!" The laughter that suddenly rose up from Green Pingping was exceptionally sharp. The laughter was so intense that she could not help but cough. It took her a long time to regain her composure.

"I followed Miss at the age of five for ten years, and that's all I got?" Green Pingping's eyes were filled with pain as she stared at me intently. A pair of thin hands trembled as they grabbed onto the quilt horn. Veins popped out on the back of her hands as her face paled, teetering on the verge of collapse.

How could it be ten years? Counting the time before I was born, Lu Ping followed me for a full twenty-five years. After going through so many hardships, only this girl didn't leave my side. But now … But now, I wanted to marry her to an apprentice. According to what Lu Ping thought, I was a cruel person. However, although Lu Ping's nature was simple and honest, she was extremely stupid. Pushing her to a higher position was not necessarily a good thing, and it was not worth it for her to be treated like a destitute couple.

"What else do you want? Like Aunt Chen? " I looked at her coldly. What a person fears the most isn't ambition, but that their abilities aren't compatible with their own ambitions.

Lu Ping did not speak again. Her tears flowed down her face, and her voice was filled with sobs.

"I'll find the right person for you, then I'll arrange for you to have a look at her." This is already the best I can do for Lu Ping. No one is more satisfied than Lu Ping. A few days ago she had heard from her grandmother that the people she had chosen for Red Jade were mostly from humble backgrounds. Some of them were unsuitable because of Red Jade's age, but Green Pingping was only 15 years old and was at the age of marriage.

"I'm not marrying!" "If you want to force me to marry someone, I'd rather hang myself in this house!"

"Then what do you want? As long as I can do it, I will do my best! " There was a strange look on her face. It was the first time in so many years that I could not understand her.

She turned her head away from me, and there was another silence in the room.

"Since that's the case, then get ready to get married!" My legs felt numb from standing for too long, and I lost the patience to deal with her.

"In the past, my brother said that you are a heartless person. I don't believe it, but now …" Lu Ping whispered softly, but it was exceptionally loud in the silence.

"Is that so?" I turned and walked out of the room. Lan Lan gently closed the door, cutting off the light outside.

"If she doesn't eat now, just drink directly." I took a look at the sky, it was sunset, the sky was red half the sky, continuous, gorgeous like fire. About, I am really heartless, not heartless, how can be free to view this beautiful sky?

I went back to the house and lit the lamp as usual. Green Cock and Lan Mo sat around me, sewing, but the atmosphere was very depressing.

"How's your knowledge of the characters?" Lan Li was so preoccupied with her thoughts tonight that she had several times pierced her finger.

"Brother, you've calculated half of it." Lan Li was stunned for a long time before she reacted. Even her voice was trembling.

"Green Bandits and Green Python can read together. From now on, Green Bandits will teach you."

Lan Li's face flashed with disappointment. She knew that I was saying this because I had already made up my mind about Lu Ping, so she had no choice but to agree.

"Go check on the whereabouts of Lu Ping."

"Miss? "Elder sister Lu Ping-jie, she doesn't know how to …" Lan Lingyun opened her eyes wide.

"I know. "I'm just being cautious." Lu Ping was very curious recently. How could a person as gentle as she usually was so stubborn because of such a trivial matter? Furthermore, Lu Ping's expression clearly acknowledged my words that she was wrong. Why is she unwilling to admit her fault? I had a vague feeling that Lu Ping had come into contact with someone and knew what was the reason for this.

"Yes." Lan Shuang was in an unprecedented mood.

"Miss, then what about my mother …" Lu Kuo wanted to say that he didn't need to find her brother to have a look.

"No need, everything is normal." I shook my head. The matter with Lu Ping had been delayed a long time ago. Now that everyone knew about it, it wouldn't be so easy to settle it.

"Yes." The Green Bandits were still calm on the surface, their bearing was truly rare.

My heart was filled with the matter of the green duckweed. I felt like my chest was pressed against a huge rock, making it hard for me to breathe. Even though I knew that I should wipe my grandmother's forehead, I wasn't in the mood. The three of them did some needlework under the lamp and then took a break.
