The next day, I brought the girls to the back of Grandmother's room. The maidservants were placed in a side room behind the back of the house. We chatted and laughed happily with Grandmother in the evening.

In the evening, I sat under the lamp reading a book, is a book of poetry, on it wrote "Qingqing Jiwang, my heart." I thought back to the time when I lived in the courtyard that Xue Da Lang had set up for me. I was already pregnant, so I wanted to make a bellyband for the child, but after making a few needles with Lu Ping, I lovingly touched Xue Da Lang's hair and said, "Be careful not to get tired." I laughed at how he didn't understand how to learn from those nagging women. He was a little angry, but he was afraid that I would be tired. He only went to the study and the sound of a flute rang out.

Seeing that I was a bit absent-minded, Lu Ping assumed that I wasn't used to moving to Grandmother's place and asked, "There's no warm house here. This servant will stay far away tonight. How about I move a bed and sleep in the outer room?" After hearing what Lu Ping said, my heart warmed. "There's no need for that. You should go back to sleep. Is there anyone who can capture me?" When Lu Ping heard this, she also smiled.

"This servant asked about the daughter of the wet nurse." Her voice was soft and gentle. Under the light of the lamp, the side of her face was gentle and calm. It was a delicate and pretty silhouette.

"She is the adopted daughter of the wet nurse. She said that the old lady was the one who decided to carry her back from the Hall of Virtue. The wet nurse loves her as if she is her own daughter." There was a faint look of worry and pity in Lu Ping's eyes.

"Who did she marry?" I randomly flipped through the book in my hand, but my heart was a little fidgety.

"The one he married is the shopkeeper of a medicine store. That person has already been dead for three years, so he wants to find a woman to take care of his children."

Thinking of it like this, when a wet nurse would bring a child with her, she would be a weak servant with no one to take charge of her. Thus, she had to give some thought for the sake of her daughter's marriage.

"Why doesn't the nurse have her own child? He had to carry a child from the Kindness Hall? "The old lady is really kind, and is willing to help the wet nurse." Lu Ping said with a sigh, even the work she was doing had slowed down.

Good heart? Even his own children could be used to exchange for gold and silver. How could such a person be kind? Grandmother, you have such a good plan! He had lost his daughter and was carrying one for him from the Hall of Virtue. The people outside thought that she was kind, and the wet nurse was grateful to her. She could even use this child to restrain the wet nurse. No wonder the wet nurse wanted to marry the girl outside. The medicine business relied on fame and reputation. It was not something that could be done in a large firm.

"Don't bring up this matter again in the future, and don't tell anyone else that I've asked about it." Since the wet nurse had spent so much effort in sending her daughter out, why did she drag her into this muddy water? Since the wet nurse was willing to use her stephome to exchange for her daughter's freedom, it could be seen that the wet nurse hoped that her daughter would be safe and that she would have a pitiful fatherly heart.

She changed my bedclothes and left with the lamp, but I was still in bed. I tossed and turned for a long time before I fell asleep. In the dream, there was a child who had been around me all along, and for a while I held him, and for a while he was lying in my arms, wearing a bright red splattered apron, the one I had only half-embroidered, and around its neck was a silver collar, inlaid with a variety of gems, bright and dazzling.

"Young miss, young miss!" "My eyes lit up." "Miss, it's time to get up." The light from the lantern dazzled my eyes. I jokingly scolded, "You really are an idiot. You all moved to the courtyard of an old lady. Where did you all get up so early?"

"" Lu Ping's face tightened as a look of regret appeared on it. " "Miss, how about you lie down for a while?"

"Forget it, please help me get up!" In this way, Lu Ping forgot the unhappiness in her dreams.

Grandmother's courtyard was called the Jongniang Hall. It looked solemn and simple on the outside, but the decorations inside were luxurious and exquisite. Grandmother was the only daughter of the embroidery workshop's big business, and the boss doted on her very much. When she got married, she had put on a 10-mile red makeup, and all of the dowry existed in this courtyard. On the beam of my room hung a sign that read "Flying Swallow Pavilion." It was handsomely written. Flying swallow? Could it be that he had to perform a palm dance? It was a strange name. The room was covered with a thick carpet with complicated patterns on it. There was not a single sound when one stepped on it. In the middle of the hall, there was a bowl of lotus flowers. In the middle of the hall, there was an embroidered cloth with a picture of a fish playing with lotus flowers on it.

There was a soft curtain hanging in the doorway of the inner room, and on the gauze there was embroidered a vivid red carp, as if it were swimming on a light curtain. Inside the room, there was a single piece of clear lacquer bed, wardrobe, table, and other furniture. On one side of the room, there was a lamp covered with a jade-green garland embroidered with lotus flowers. A large mirror was placed behind a screen in the room. On the top, there was a double-sided embroidered mirror cover. The front was a picture of a phoenix piercing through a peony, while on the back, there were lotus flowers floating on a blue wave. The furnishings of the house looked lively and playful. It was more like a boudoir for a daughter than a courtyard for a grandmother.

Lu Ping helped me change my clothes. She took a silver brocade plum blossom lute with a red collar and a silver plum blossom lute and wore it on her coat. Under her dress, there was a silver plaid horse mask skirt.

"Old lady likes red the most. I'll definitely like it if I see it." There was a smile on Lu Ping's face and her movements were quick and light.

"Bring me a simple set of clothes!" "I told her, but her hands paused and she didn't do as I told her." This is a new dress that this servant made for you. Just the embroidery on this dress alone took half a month. " Lu Ping insisted on changing me into this new dress. Even if she was stubborn, I wouldn't be able to say anything about it.

"You don't want Spring Peach in the house anymore?" Lu Ping's eyes lit up. "Miss, you've thought of a way?"

"When will I have no solution?" I smiled gleefully. "Quickly go and get it. Let me put on my sleeping clothes and freeze here." I complained to her softly.

After putting on the dress, Lu Ping pulled up a hairband for me and put it in my hair. The rest were completely unadorned, and from the mirror, I could see that she was pretty but too simple. I nodded in satisfaction and found a pair of thick red embroidered shoes that I had found a few days ago.

After urging Lu Ping to change into a red suit of armor, we stood together, looking more and more like I was small and shriveled, just like I wanted to be, so I stayed with Lu Ping and went to Grandmother's main house.
