His father sat shamelessly at the side drinking tea while his mother awkwardly sat at the table stirring the congee in her bowl with a pair of chopsticks.

"Father, shall we go out and take a look at the fireworks?" I stood up and walked over to my father.

"That's fine too." His father stood up quickly, as if anxious to get away from something.

"Grandmother, Yuanyuan'er will be back soon." I walked over to Grandmother and put my hand on her knee.

"Go, tell your father to take you for a walk." My grandmother stroked my hair, and her voice had a heavy nasal quality to it.

His father walked up and bowed. "Mother, don't worry. I will follow Yuanyuan'er." Grandmother cast him a sidelong glance but didn't say anything.

As my father walked onto the porch, I squatted down and said, "Father, you can relax. I'll go to the kitchen to take a look at Grandmother's snacks." Father looked a little surprised, and then he understood that I was only finding an excuse to let him escape. He smiled gratefully, and turned around to go to the Fragrance Pavilion. It was said that my grandfather loved to read books and did his best to let my father study. He hoped that he would be able to get a good name for himself, but my father was too engrossed in his business and before he passed away, my grandfather was filled with regret.

"Go get Red Dew in my room." Walking on the porch, I whispered to Lu Ping. After sitting in the room for a while, Red Dew followed Lu Ping into the room. She stood in front of the brick bed with her head lowered. I smiled at her and said, "Sit." Hong Lu sat on the plate in front of the brick bed, revealing a snow-white neck.

"Have you thought about it? There is no turning back for such a thing. " I asked gently.

"This servant will be decided by Miss." It seemed that he had made up his mind.

"Go and get the clothes I have prepared." Lu Ping obeyed and opened my box. She took out a rosewood box from inside and used the key on her waist to open it. Immediately, the entire room was filled with a faint fragrance. She wore two fresh jade orchids and a pair of gold foil lilies on her ears. Under the light of the lamp, they glittered brightly, washed her face, and used a light blush on her cheeks. She was warm and sweet, and wore a white dress with a white collar.

Red Dew stood in front of the mirror and used her hand to touch the dazzling earring on her ear. A smile hung on her lips. Who wouldn't love these flower interpreters?

I walked forward and helped Red Dew straighten her clothes. "Remember, this rosary fragrance is spreading very quickly. You have to hurry."

Red Dew nodded her head and followed Lu Ping with the food box.

After a moment, Lu Ping returned and replied, "As per young mistress's instructions, I was sent to the door and returned immediately." I nodded my head and pointed to the plate next to me, making Lu Ping sit down and discuss the method of matching the colours with Lu Ping. But, Lu Ping seemed to be in a daze.

"Are you worried that Red Dew will lose her life in vain?" I held the string in my hand.

"I'm not worried about Red Dew, I'm worried about Miss." "Lu Ping lifted her head, her eyes filled with worry." If she can't do it, and if Miss says that you were the one who let her go, what will you do? "

I put down the thread in my hand and took a sip from the iced tea cup on the kang table. It was the tea leaves with dates in them, the sweet mixture of bitter and red dates. This was the tea my grandmother used to drink in the winter.

"Do you think Grandmother knows what we did today?" I asked Lu Ping.

"He probably doesn't know." "Yes," replied Lu Ping thoughtfully. Miss has already done things so strictly. "

"No, Grandmother not only knew about this, but acquiesced in it." I sighed lightly. I did what I did in my grandmother's courtyard without any hindrance. Naturally, it was due to my grandmother's support from behind. Grandmother must have wanted to help me out when she saw me like this. I could roughly guess the mentality of this old lady. The back of her hand was covered with flesh. Which one of her sons and daughters weren't their own children? The old lady kept her eyes closed all the time, watching her son control the house, but doing his best to protect her daughter and make her life as happy as possible.

"If Red Dew was successful, Father would naturally ask Grandmother to give her to him. If she wasn't, Grandmother would execute her, or she would send Red Dew to Father's room." When Lu Ping heard the words' execution ', her face turned pale. This kind of person wouldn't execute a little girl, and would mostly ask their family to take her away. Before her family brought her home, she naturally did something disgraceful, and it would be difficult for her to get married.

"Then. Miss, do you think that the Red Dew will work? " Green Python flapped her eyelashes and looked at me.

"I think it's possible." I played with the teacup in my hand with a smile on my face.

"Do you see the brim of Father's sleeve and sock?" I smilingly asked Lu Ping. Lu Ping sat on the Maginot Tree and was silent for a long time before she replied, "This is Madam's usual pattern of being the victor of a wave. Old master's clothes are often used."

I shook my head. "Do you see how the waves shine under the light of the lamp? This is an effect that can only be achieved by embroidering with silver threads. The victor of the waves of the family does use ordinary embroidery threads, so it naturally would not have such an effect. This means that the master's clothes were not worn by his family."

Lu Ping's eyes lit up, "But the material on the master's body was specially made by the madam from Jiangnan. Only our family uses such material."

"That's right, father's outer chamber is probably very nimble. Using an identical set of clothes like this to test the depth of the main chamber." "I smiled." How could such a man refuse to bring such a beauty to his lips with his mother's permission? " She was afraid that her mother would soon be unable to take care of herself. Hong Lu might not put her in her eyes, but this aunt she had never met was definitely not a bad one.

"It's about time. Let's go." I said to Lu Ping, "Let's go to the book and ask Father about his lessons." I smiled happily.
