"What's wrong?" When Lan Lingyun saw that I had already sat up, she was a little surprised.

"I'm late. It's already a quarter past the appointed time." Lan Qing blushed a little. Such a thing had never happened before.

"It's alright. Now that I've washed up, I'll go to Grandmother's!"

Lan Li hurriedly took her clothes from the brick bed and put them on. Lu Kou and Lu Ping had already dressed up. Lu Kou followed me to the screen to change clothes. Lu Ping went outside to wash her face.

"Miss. "It's because I slept too deeply." Red-faced, Green Cock tied me to a thong.

Am I too harsh when I get up by chance? Are these maidservants all trembling in fear?

He put on his clothes, washed his face, and wore a scarlet gold pearl hair band. His hair was tied up with a golden hairpin in the shape of a leaf. He was lightly powdered and his cheeks were red.

The maidservants flustered as they tossed and turned, finally dressing me up.

"Miss, this is your soup."

Suddenly, Lan Li remembered the bowl of soup that her mother Du gave her last night.

I reached out my hand to receive the soup. When I saw Lan Li and Lu Ping, I couldn't help but smile. These two people were really too muddle-headed.

Yesterday a red sweat towel had been tied around her waist, and now her sweat towel was brightly tied over her green shoulders. Both of them had a yellow shoe on their feet — a red one.

I shot a look at the green bandit, who followed my gaze and giggled.

When the two of them saw how we were looking at each other, they finally realized the strangeness of their bodies. Lowering their heads, they both pointed at each other and laughed.

"Go and change your clothes. Let's go to Grandmother's room."

The two of them quickly changed their clothes and went out the door.

Just as he walked out of the bamboo forest, he met his mother, Du.

When Mother Du saw me, her expression immediately relaxed. She quickly came over and greeted me, "Miss, you've come. The old lady is extremely anxious!"

"I slept too late." My face turned red. Even if it was before I was born, it wasn't too late.

"Don't worry, quickly go in!" Although this is what my mother Du said, one hand pulling me quickly into my grandmother's courtyard.

"The young miss is here! The young miss is here! " As soon as I entered the courtyard, a maidservant ran over to my grandmother's house and shouted at me. This was the first time I had ever been treated like this.

I was startled when I opened the curtain.

Grandmother was leaning on her walking stick, and accompanied by Hong Chang, she stood at the door and waited for me.

"You're finally here!" Grandmother saw me enter the room and took my hand. Anxiety was still on her face.

Seeing my grandmother so worried, I felt very sorry for myself, especially because I had slept late.

"Grandmother. "My grandson and daughter were in the wrong. I woke up too late." These words were a bit hard to say.

"I'm fine!" It's nothing! I'm just going out to do some activities. It's not like what they said! " Grandmother patted my hand and got on the kang under my care.

"Still saying no!?" "You should ask me in an hour. If I didn't stop you, I wonder how many people you would have sent to your courtyard!" Mother Du kept complaining to me.

I never thought my grandmother would miss me so much.

"Stop it!" I want to eat! "Hurry up and bring us some food!" Grandma shouted at Mother Du.

"Good!" Good! I'll go prepare the food! " Mother Du answered.

Had my grandmother always been a strong, independent person because my long days of companionship had become so dependent on me?

Or was there another reason?

I temporarily suppressed my doubts and smiled as I talked to my grandmother.

"Grandmother, the soup you sent to me is very delicious." I saw in front of my grandmother a bowl of soup the same as mine, and it occurred to me that I should tell my grandmother that I had drunk the soup.

"Hmm? "What soup?" Grandmother stopped eating and asked me curiously.

I pointed to the bowl in front of Grandmother and said, "Last night you asked Mother Du to send me a bowl of soup. Did you forget?"

Grandmother frowned and thought for a while before saying, "I didn't send you any soup, did I?"

What's going on? Did Mother Du decide to give me the soup on her own?

Mother Du was in command. The servants served breakfast and set up two rice bowls.

"You haven't had breakfast yet?"

Could it be that Grandmother didn't even use her breakfast, just to wait for me?

"The old lady will be waiting for you to use it." Mama Du served two bowls of lean porridge with leathery eggs.

I pointed to the bowl of porridge in front of Grandmother. "Grandmother doesn't hate this type of porridge the most, right?"

Mother Du lowered her head and did not answer my question.

I am sure now that there must be something wrong with Grandmother!

Did Grandmother's illness worsen?

I noticed something, and the expression on my face changed again and again.

Mama Du was an astute person. She quickly gave me a look and told me not to say too much.

He ate with his grandmother with a calm expression, but his heart was in turmoil.

When the meal was finally finished, Mother Du came with her servants to remove the plates.

"Let me make the tea for you!" I said, laughing and taking my grandmother's hand.

"Sit here and talk to me. Let them get busy!" Grandmother wouldn't let go of my hand.

"My grandson's daughter has made great progress in her tea ceremony. She wants to personally brew a cup of tea for Grandmother to drink." I leaned on my grandmother's shoulder and rubbed the embroidered pattern on her sleeve.

"Go! "Come back quickly." Grandmother stroked my hair.

"What happened to Grandmother?" I went outside, away from my grandmother's house, and talked to my mother.

"The old lady's memory isn't too good these days, so I called the doctor to come in and have a look. He said that the old lady is getting on in age, and he's afraid that her spirit will be weaker every day." Mother Du's face was filled with fear and sadness.

Even though her words were cryptic, I understood that my grandmother was suffering from hysteria.

"Is there any way to treat it?" I asked eagerly.

"I can only raise him as much as I can."

The meaning behind his words was that there was no cure for the pills.

"Did Grandmother know?"

"I didn't."

I sighed to myself. How could he not know what had happened to him? The wisdom of the past, soon to be lost in the chaos of the eyes, do not know how much pain in the grandmother's heart, but still talk and laugh.

No wonder Grandmother wanted me to be in charge of Red Jade's marriage. In the inner chamber, the most important thing is to get married. Grandmother is entrusting the Yang family to me.

The corners of my eyes were moist, and I wiped them with the back of my hand. If Grandmother were to observe the details, her red eyes would definitely be noticed by her.

I entered the house where the maidservants were keeping vigil. The maidservants in the rooms of Lu Ping, Lu Kou, Lan Li and my grandmother were all sitting around talking. When they saw me enter, they all stood up and bowed while smiling.

"Sisters, please sit!" I smiled and waved at Lu Ping. "You come with me."

After hearing this, Lu Ping pushed her way through the crowd towards me. With a trace of a smile on her face, she said, "Miss!"

I took Lu Ping out the door and went straight into the kitchen. Mother Du had already hung the tea on the stove and said her thanks. She took out a tea set from the Ru kiln and placed it on the tray. Lu Ping followed me inside with the tray.

Lu Ping placed the teacup on the table before she curtsied. Her grandmother glanced at her indifferently, but didn't tell her to get up.

I reached for the teapot that day, washed the cups, poured the tea, made the tea, scrubbed the froth, poured the tea, and ordered the tea. I gave the teacup in my hand to Grandmother.

Grandmother first looked at the tea before tasting it. With a gratified smile on her face, she said, "As expected, your tea ceremony has improved."

At this time in my previous life, I had also learned the art of tea. However, under my mother's compulsion, I felt that this was a very boring course. Later, I married Xue Dalang and spent some time studying tea in order to get what I wanted. Later, I found that I had gained great peace and satisfaction in this series of actions, and thus fell in love with the tea ceremony.

"You are Green Pingping, right?" Grandmother and I discussed the tea ceremony for a while before we turned around to look at the lush green duckweed.

"Your servant is me!" Lu Ping had never been punished like this ever since she was young. She had a wronged expression on her face and her eyes looked like they were about to tear up.

"I heard your parents are coming to pick you up?"

"Yes." Lu Ping, who had always been somewhat afraid of her grandmother, was now trembling slightly.

"Back then, you sold your death contract and came to our mansion." Grandmother turned the jade thumb in her hand, staring at the sun reflected off the warm surface.

Lu Ping was scared senseless by her grandmother's words. Her knees went weak and she kneeled on the ground.

"Old Ancestor, please be merciful and let this servant return with my parents!" Tears fell from Lu Ping's eyes.

Since Grandmother had promised to let her go, she definitely wouldn't go back on her word.

Lu Ping's natural disposition was dull. If she were to say something even more outrageous, it would be better to end this matter peacefully.

"Grandmother." I sat down next to Grandmother and rubbed her. Grandmother couldn't stand my boredom, so she smiled and pointed at me and said, "You misses can't speak to me more than a few times a year, so I agreed to thank her. I'll only thank her!"

"Thank you, Young Miss! "Thank you, young mistress!" Lu Ping kept kowtowing to me, and I hurriedly got off the brick bed to help her up.

"Grandmother, why are you toying with an honest person like her!" I stamped my foot at my grandmother.

Grandmother turned around and pulled out a silver note from a drawer on the kang.

"Here's a hundred liang, take it home and make a small sale!" "Don't do anything like that again."

Grandmother took another envelope from the kang and placed it on top of the banknote.

"This is your indenture contract, take it back and burn it! "Don't get messed with by your old lady again."

I took what my grandmother had given me and stuffed it into her mouth. After hearing what she had said, I felt shy and embarrassed, and my face turned red. No matter what, I refused to accept the banknotes.

"Take it!" This is grandmother's heart. " I stubbornly handed the silver notes to her.

Lu Ping thanked and thanked my grandmother and kowtowed three times before being sent back to the courtyard.

It was still early in the morning when I continued to chat with my grandmother on her kang.

"You lied to me for a hundred silver!" Grandmother laughed and pointed at me.

"What are you saying!?" "Miss Hong Yu from your room came to my place, but ate and drank to her heart's content. Could it be that it's not silver?" I spread my hands in a gesture of understanding.

Grandmother laughed, "To think that all the young misses are so poor!"

After chatting for a while, it was almost time for lunch. Because of the late breakfast, he was already full after only eating a bowl of porridge for lunch.

When I brought the maidservant back to the courtyard, I had the feeling that someone was following behind me, but every time I turned around, I couldn't find them.

Such a bright day was truly frightening.

"Let's hurry up and go back!" I whispered to the two maidservants.

The two maidservants nodded simultaneously. It seemed that I wasn't the only one who noticed the abnormality.

Just as he left his grandmother's courtyard, a voice came from behind him.

"Miss, please wait!"
