"While walking on the road, Lu Ping was especially puzzled." Miss, what's the matter today? "

"Today is the first day of the new year, how can I not be happy?" I asked. " Did you bring any silver? "

Speaking of new year's money, Lu Ping also became happy. She replied with a smile, "Of course I did." Every new year, Lu Ping would pass some silver coins to the girls in the courtyard. However, the eight to nine-year-old girls would surround Lu Ping and shout, "Big sister, happy new year!" How could they not be happy?

I jokingly scolded her, "Girl, it's good that you got your hands on my money."

Unwilling to be outdone, Lu Ping replied, "It's all because Young Miss has a good temper."

"Well, you even made me up!" I laughed and gave Lu Ping's arm a squeeze. Lu Ping giggled and didn't reply.

After entering my grandmother's courtyard, Hong Yu came out to welcome me. I took out a small red paper bag and gave it to her. She smiled as she accepted it. She said in a soft voice, "Good new year to young miss." I nodded. "Good new year, sister." Lu Ping came forward to bless him and also said good bye. Hong Lu served her grandmother. Although she was also a first-rate girl like Lu Ping, someone like Hong Lu had to politely call her Big Sister when she saw her.

Red Jade welcomed him into the room. As she opened the curtain, a burst of fragrance wafted over. The atmosphere in the room, however, was very strange. Grandmother was reclining on the left side of the kang, looking very tired. There were several plates of pastries on the table in the middle of the kang. His father was sitting on the right side of the brick bed, perfectly upright. His blue clothes were neatly arranged on his legs, and he was rubbing a pair of walnuts in his hands. The newly recruited Lady Chen was still wearing the same set of clothes she had worn yesterday. She had a set of jade inlaid head and drew her eyebrows and her lips, making her look exceptionally charming. Although she was standing by the side with her hands hanging down, she would glance at her father from time to time.

My mother was sitting at the side, fully dressed, smiling as she chatted with my grandmother. Each and every one of her sentences made the maidservants in the room smile. When my mother saw me enter the room, she greeted me happily, "Come, come to my mother." Just as I was about to kneel down and bow, my mother lifted me up. "You child!" Her tone seemed to have a bit of heartache. As she spoke, her mother handed over a carp lock box and her mother took it and stuffed it into my hands with a smile. "Yuanyuan, look quickly, do you like it?" She looked at me in anticipation. Even a mother and daughter wouldn't be able to do that, right? I sneered in my heart.

My face reddened. I held the box hesitantly as I muttered to myself, "What do you mean? A few days ago, Grandmother gave me a lot of jewelry." The smile in his mother's eyes faded, but her expression did not change at all. "Your grandmother gave you one of your grandmother's and your mother gave it to you. See if you like it or not." My mother insisted that I open it. I didn't dare to open it recklessly, so I gestured for Lu Ping to come forward and take the box.

"Thank you, mother." I was about to hand the box to Lush when Mother took it from me and opened it herself.

The room is full of light, a set of pure gold inlaid jade head, I have a lot of gold jade head, but I have never seen such a bright. This set of gold pieces, on the other hand, appeared to be slightly dirty due to their purity, while this set of gold pieces, on the other hand, had a bright color. This set of gold pieces, on the other hand, had a bright color, this kind of gold, on the other hand, was only spread among the officials, and this kind of gold, on the other hand, was probably due to their purity, on the other hand, this set of gold pieces, on the market, seemed to be slightly dirty due to their purity.

While her father had just accepted Aunt Chen, the Lu family had sent someone to deliver some things. What a coincidence.

"Since your wife is not feeling well, you should go back and live with her." His grandmother told his father that his mother was dressed neatly and was standing there refreshed. She didn't seem to be feeling unwell at all. Her father agreed. Aunt Chen was looking at her heart and nose as if she didn't know what was going to happen in the future.

After taking her grandmother's and father's New Year's money and having breakfast, her grandmother said she was tired. After leaving the grandmother's room and sending her father and mother to the courtyard entrance, Aunt Chen obediently followed behind her mother with a humble attitude, just like a common servant woman. Lu Ping followed behind me, looking at Red Dew's figure as she sighed.

When he returned to his room, he had just changed his clothes and sat on the brick bed. Lu Ping brought in a woman with a bun, a plain silver hairpin, and a dark red cotton coat.

"This is Sister Feng, who is by the old lady's side." The woman bowed deeply and said in a calm voice, "This servant is the second wife of Senior Servant Feng, who is standing beside the madame. The madame has sent this servant to help the little miss with her needlework." Lu Ping frowned but did not say anything. I nodded slightly at her. "Thank you, Sister Feng." I don't know if Sister Feng still lives in the same house or if she just moved to my side. " Feng Er's wife answered, "Madam ordered me to stay in the same place as before. If Miss moves back to the same place, I will follow her." I nodded. Second Wife Feng left behind a box, bowed, and left.

"Miss, the needlework in our room is more than enough for us maidservants. Why do we need another person?" After Feng Er's wife left, Lu Ping sat on her feet and asked.

"She didn't come to make needlework for me. She came to teach me how to make needlework." I replied, sipping my tea.

Lu Ping stepped forward and opened the box that Second Wife Feng had left behind. Inside was a flower shed, plain cloth, scissors, needle and thread. Lu Ping turned her head and asked me, "How did Miss know?"

"Senior Feng is famously skilled, how can a married woman who has entered the family not be agile?" I sized up Lu Ping with a smile. Lu Ping's craftsmanship is also top-notch. I'm afraid that in the future, I'll need to find a dexterous old lady to suppress her.

"Let's go." I said to Lina.

"Where to?" Lu Ping asked doubtfully.

"To thank Grandmother, of course." I gave Lu Ping a twist on the waist, as if I was liking to pinch people more and more. I smiled and shook my head.

Hong Yu smiled as she welcomed me in. "The old lady is waiting for you." The young maidservants in the room were playing hide and seek, laughing and making a ruckus, while the young maidservants with blindfolded eyes hugged me, quieting down for a moment. The young maidservants with blindfolded eyes looked at me in fear, while the young maidservants took off their napkins, and when they saw that I was the one who was hugging me, they jumped in fright.

"Get up." I grabbed a handful of betel from my purse and gave it to the little girl. She knelt on the ground and started crying. Hong Yu went up and coaxed me, "Alright, alright. Miss didn't say anything to you. What are you crying for?"

I smiled and went into the inner room.
