Hongyu followed Mother Du out the door, and in a while, there would be a wife who would bring a groom to pick up Hongyu's dowry. To avoid suspicion, I quickly brought Lan Li and the green bandit back to Grandmother's house.

Hong Chang was sitting on the footstool, patting her leg as she chatted with Grandmother. Upon seeing me enter, she hurried over and smiled.

"You may leave!" Grandmother waved her hand at Hong Chang.

"Yes!" Hong Chang replied with a smile.

Waiting until Hong Chang left the room, my grandmother straightened up and asked Hong Yu about the situation outside. When I finally returned, she was finally able to relax and let out a sigh of relief.

"Back then, she was only six or seven years old when she was sold into the mansion. At that time, she was just like an annoying child. Now, it's time for her to get married!" As she thought about what had happened that year, her grandmother couldn't help but feel a bit regretful.

"Elder sister has finally come to the end of her hardships!" I smiled as I poured a cup of tea and placed it in front of my grandmother.

"What do you know!?" She has no parents, and is only looking at the bustling scene because I'm still here. I don't even know what will happen when I'm gone! " Grandmother's face was ashen. This year, Grandmother's health was exceptionally poor and her spirit was also very poor.

"Grandmother." I surprised my grandmother by falling to my knees.

"What's wrong? What's wrong? Get up and speak! " Grandmother wanted to get off the kang to help me, so I quickly stood up and pressed Grandmother.

"Yuanyuan, I want to ask grandmother for a favor!"

"What is it?" Grandmother pursed her lips, blue veins popping out from her forehead. She looked exceptionally strict.

Seeing my grandmother's solemn expression, I couldn't help but feel a little timid. I clenched my hands and mustered my courage.

"You know the lush green in my room. I want to let her out of the house."

"Isn't she having a lot of trouble recently? Why did you suddenly think of leaving the clan? " When her grandmother heard about the green duckweed, the expression on her face eased a lot.

I secretly let out a sigh of relief. It seemed like this matter was true!

"It's not her fault. It's just that her granddaughter didn't know that she was wrongly accused." I pinched the hem of my shirt and smiled.

"Child, you're just too soft-hearted!" Grandmother sighed and personally helped me up from the floor and sat on the kang.

Be soft-hearted? It still depended on who was right!

"I beg Grandmother to let her leave the manor!"

"Aren't you going to find a marriage for her? I think it's better to marry her and have her return to your house as your wife. "All of you, master and servant, come here!"

As expected, since grandmother knew about this, nothing in the house could be hidden from her.

"Just like Grandmother said, if I don't have a family to marry off, my life will be miserable. I am also a young miss that has yet to leave the pavilion, so I don't know where I will end up. It would be better for her family to bring her out first, and then enter the Palace in the future if it's suitable. " I am not very familiar with these words, and I only feel a slight burning on my face.

"You did the right thing for her." Grandmother smiled at me.

I leaned on Grandmother and said smilingly, "Grandmother was the one who taught me. If I want to do something big, I have to protect the people around me first. Lu Ping had been by my side since she was young. Even if she didn't have any merits, she would still have to work hard for me. Naturally, I have to plan for her. "

"Alright, since you want to let her out, then let her go. However, once she leaves, there will be no one left in your room." Grandmother stroked my hair lovingly.

"Then I'll have her mother kowtow to Grandmother." I smiled and buried my face in my grandmother's arms. "As for the little girl, I don't have much to do in my room. Let's talk about it when we find the right one!"

I have yet to meet Fang Fei, and I don't know what her character is like. She is also from Mother's courtyard, so her identity is special. I wouldn't rashly ask her to come over.

"Don't work too hard, you still have to care about what happens in the shop." Grandmother put her arm around me, and I could feel the warmth of her body.

I lazily lie in grandmother's arms, breathing grandmother's body faint gardenia fragrance, let me feel exceptionally relaxed.

"Alright, if you want the girl, I will ask for it!" I closed my eyes and muttered to myself.

When he opened his eyes, the room was already lit. Under the dim light, his grandmother was leaning on the pillow on the brick bed, flipping through a scripture of Buddhism.

I sat up in my grandmother's bed, which was still covered with her scent.

"You're awake." Grandmother smiled gently at me and called out the window for Hong Chang.

Hong Chang brought the servant girl in Grandmother's room to help me wash my face and comb my hair. On the other side, Hong Chang personally helped Grandmother to put on her shoes and helped her off the brick bed.

"Why did I fall asleep!" I was a little upset. Even though I knew that Big Brother Lu Ping would be here tonight, I still slept at Grandmother's place.

"When I was young, I was like that too. No matter how much I slept, I never slept enough." Grandmother adjusted the pearl hairpin that was stuck in my bun.

"When you are young, you can only be happy when you are older." Grandmother stroked my silky hair. "That's what we women do."

It was only because I believed such words that I ended up in such a miserable way in my previous life. I thought that if I abandoned my family and honor to follow Xue Dalang, and gave birth to children for him, he would be grateful to me and respect me internally and externally.

I nodded, not wanting to talk to my grandmother about it.

"You're tired too. Go home and rest early after dinner!" Grandmother saw that I didn't want to talk about it.

After Hong Chang heard her grandmother's words, she smiled and replied: "The food is ready, they only need to warm it with carbon!"

A line of dishes slowly came up, and it suddenly occurred to me that my parents should have come to eat with my grandmother.

"What about mother and father?"

Grandmother was holding a small pink bowl filled with silver fungus and lotus seed soup.

"The two of them just came. Seeing that you're still sleeping, I drove them back." Grandmother handed me the bowl.

I nodded, took the bowl from my grandmother, and spooned it into my mouth.

After the two of them had dinner in silence, I got up and apologized before returning to the courtyard.

She was in my room, sitting on my footstool as she used to do needlework.

"Miss, you're back." When she saw me enter the room, she quickly got up from her stool.

"What are you doing?" He had just slept for two hours in his grandmother's room, and after taking a walk in the evening breeze outside, he was wide awake.

"I made a dress for Miss." Lu Ping pulled a needle from the top and helped me put it on.

The blue brocade embroidered a path to the waist of the magnolia orchids, both unique and fresh, the green duckweed color, even the woman close to the mansion is difficult to be its right hand.

"I didn't reward you with this during New Year's?" In the mirror, the skirt reflected a faint cloud pattern on the reflection of the light.

"Miss looks so good in it." Lu Ping looked at me with a smile, while Lan Li and Lu Ke were also full of praise.

I stretched out my hand to untie the dress and touched the exquisite embroidery on it. This is the most precious brocade I gave to Green Pingping. I originally wanted to leave it for her to use as a press box, but now it has returned to my hands.

"Thank you." I took her hand. I could not help but feel sad at the thought of her leaving.

"The reason why this servant could have what I have today is all given to me by the young mistress." Green Pingping took my hand and her eyes filled with tears.

"In the future, even with big brother's protection, you still have to be careful." Lu Ping had always thought that following her brother would have a good future, but his brother was also someone who lived on the edge of a knife. What will happen to Lu Ping in the future? I can't think of it and I dare not think of it. I just hope that she can live her life as she wishes.

I felt tears coming out of my eyes and looked up to force them back. In my heart, Lu Ping wasn't just a maid that served me since I was young. She was also my concern for me. Although I already knew that I would have to bid farewell to the past from the day I was reborn, when that day really comes, it would only make people feel as if their hearts were being pierced by a knife.

"Change my clothes!"

Lan Ling hesitated. "Miss?"

She wanted to ask how her brother would be able to change clothes since he would be here soon.

"Give me a simple set of clothes from home."

Hearing my words, Lan Li pursed her lips into a smile. "Miss has such a temper. When you enter the room, you need to change into simple clothes."

After changing into a plain white jacket with a navy blue skirt tied underneath, I took Green Pingping's hand out of the screen and sat on the brick bed.

"Put down the tent and put out the lights in the outer room!" I pointed to the lights in the outer room, up and down.

"Yes." When Lan Li heard this, she agreed, and the green bandit was about to retreat.

"Go open the window and come back." I pointed at the green bandit.

A surprised expression flashed across the face of the green bandit for a moment. Then, with a faint smile, he closed the window and walked back together with Lu Ping.

Lu Ping looked at me as if to ask, "Miss, are you really going to believe in Lu Kuo?"

I nodded to her and poured her a cup of tea from the teapot.

Seeing that Lu Ping was trying to persuade me, I immediately shook my head. After thinking for a while, Lu Ping lowered her head and sipped on the cup of tea she was holding.

"You two can find a place to sit!" I pointed to the embroidery block at the side.

Lan Ling found my feet to sit on, the green bandit went to move an embroidery block, found a place close to us to sit down.

The four of us did our embroidery, and the room was quiet.

Grandmother's forehead is used GongEr daughter-in-law taught stitch stitch embroidery method, before I only embroidered lilac, daisy and so on small flowers. Originally, he thought that imitating the embroidery process wouldn't be a problem, but now, he realized that it wasn't the same thing. He was afraid that he would have to find some time to consult her.

I put my forehead back in the basket, put on my shoes and got off the kang, and looked at the three of them.

It looked like a fan sleeve, which must have been made for her brother.

Lan Ling was embroidering a lake-blue shoe. The dandelion was embroidered on it with a white thread. It didn't look like it was embroidered on it. Instead, it looked like it was glued onto the fluffy dandelion.

Rookie was wringing a piece of red silk with a scissor. A scented sachet was painted on the paper.

I walked over to the mirror and adjusted my hair in the mirror. When I looked back, I saw that all three maids were staring at me with a smile.

I couldn't help but say, "What am I doing? Do your work! "

The three maidservants smiled and lowered their heads to do their own work. I sat back on the brick bed.

He took out a book from a drawer at the side. It was actually a "All Tang Poetry" that he hadn't seen for a long time.

Suddenly, he remembered that his family's drinking order was to sign the poem to signify his fate. Since he was free at the moment, he might as well give it a try.

Flipping over a page, he opened the book to find out that it was a piece of Li Bai's < Entering the Wine >.

Life is full of joy, do not let the goldfish empty the month.

The heavens gave birth to me, and I will make a difference. I will return after the gold has been used up.

I smiled. Doesn't this mean that even though the path after Lu Ping is dangerous, she is more optimistic like a fairy.

Suddenly, a light knocking sound came from the door. The four people in the room were startled!
