Ten Again to Fight against Her Fate

Red Dew stood in the living room, feeding her grandmother's bird. White fur, red feet, and a small silver bell were usually hung on the porch, but due to the cold weather outside, Red Dew moved the birdcage indoors. A group of young maidservants surrounded the birdcage, teasing the bird as it flew around with two little silver bells that jingled to jingle.

"Miss" Hong Lu bowed when she saw me. "The old lady has woken up and is waiting for you in the room." Seeing my dress frown, I knew she was going to say my dress was inappropriate, so I shook my head slightly at her, and she lowered her eyebrows and stepped aside.

He turned and entered the inner room. His grandmother was dressed in a jujube brocade jacket and a navy blue wool dress, leaning against the kang, her back against the pillow, her head neatly cut in silver silk. She had a gold hairpin tied to the back of her head, and on the gold hairpin was a dazzling ruby, which she smiled and chatted with her mother, who was sitting opposite the kang table. His mother was dressed in a light golden peach and red two-color frisson, a cinnabar jacket, a peach-colored poncho skirt, and a gold inlaid jade bun tied around her waist. She wore three gaudily dressed steps on either side of her head, which made his grandmother laugh out loud as she sat upright on the kang, holding a gold-plated copper stove in her hand. "Aunt Wang stood at the side, wearing a long, soft silk jacket with pink floral fringes. She wore a white turban, a light pink dress with a chignon in the middle, and two pink silk flowers in the middle. She looked light and beautiful with a faint smile on her face, and a red handkerchief in her hand, making her look sweet and quiet.

"You're here?" my grandmother waved at me, and my mother stood up and glanced at me. She then frowned deeply as she looked at me with worry. She pursed her lips and lowered her head.

I calmly stepped forward and prepared to sit on a stool at the side. However, my grandmother waved at me with a smile. "Come, come. Sit by my side."

"I sat down next to her, and she took my hand. It was very warm." "Pitiful child, when I was your age, I also loved to wear plain clothes. As the old saying goes, 'A woman must be charming, a body of filial piety." It's just that I'm sorry to wear red and green at my age, but I should be young enough to wear them. " Grandmother was reminding me of the occasion.

"Grandmother was right as well." "Lu Ping poured me a cup of tea. It was old Jun Mei, and the taste was pleasant to the mouth." However, this set of clothes was brought back by my father last time. It looks dull, but there are flowers on it. If you don't believe me, you can take a look. " After saying that, I walked forward. Lu Ping quickly lowered her body to help me take off my shoes. Her pair of thick red embroidered shoes were placed on her feet. Grandmother carefully examined the exquisite embroidery on them.

"Grandmother, look, does it look good?" I asked, tilting my head like a little girl and tugging at my grandmother's sleeve. " I heard from my father that all the noble ladies in the capital use this kind of material to make clothes! "

"When her mother heard this, her expression changed." How old are you all, and why are you still clinging on to your grandmother? " Grandmother looked at her mother with a faint smile. "Ladies should be like this." The mother lowered her head and played with the white glaze in her hands, as if she was thinking of something.

"Your embroidered shoes are quite exquisite. That lass, Lu Ping, is getting more and more clever with her hands!" She looked at Lu Ping.

"This." This was not made by me. " "Lu Ping walked forward with a red face." To reply the old lady, this was made by a young maid in our room. "

"I didn't expect that the third-rate maidservants in your room would have such skills. It's not like you want to compare the first-rate maidservants with your skills." "My grandmother laughed, and I covered my sleeves and laughed." Grandmother is so ashamed of me. I have never seen this girl before. "Lu Ping took the pair of shoes and gave it to me, but didn't say who made it. I only thought it was her. I was wondering when her craftsmanship got so good." I teased Lu Ping, and she understood that I was just coaxing her to be happy. She just stared at the toes of her shoes without making a sound, and there was a faint smile on her face.

"Since there is such a clever girl, how can such a nimble girl stay in the yard and do menial work?" Grandmother smiled and ordered Lu Ping, I nodded at Lu Ping, and she happily ran out to get the peach.

It was midwinter when Spring Peaches came in with Spring Peaches. Spring Peaches was wearing a peach-colored cotton vest, revealing her dress that had already been washed to the point of being thin, but underneath, she was wearing a brand-new satin dress with a pair of golden leaf hairpins on her head. Looking at Spring Peaches' attire, I was a little surprised that this dress was worn by her when she was preparing to wear it for the new year.

My grandmother was leaning on the kang, and my mother was sitting across from her, looking at the peach with a smile." The little girl in your room has the same heart. " "It's obvious that my mother also noticed that the clothes didn't belong to Spring Peaches. I smiled but didn't reply." "Yuan'er should slowly learn to be a butler." However, Grandma ignored her, smiling as she asked how old Spring Peaches was. Her parents were still around, and although Spring Peaches was shy, she was very well-behaved, so Grandma nodded. "Poor kid, you've been through all this at such a young age! We women should be the most powerful, if you don't be strong, then everyone will step on you, and you will never be able to get up. " Grandmother smiled and said, "Since you are such a clever child, you should always stay by your young lady's side from now on! In the future, just be a second rate girl! " Spring Peaches kowtowed in a neither humble nor haughty manner. She thanked her grandmother and knelt down to thank her mother. However, her grandmother said lightly, "The ground is cold. She's so young. Help her up." Lu Ping went up to help the peach up, and silently stood to the side. Grandmother was giving her mother face in front of everyone, but her mother didn't dare to say anything. She could only sit there quietly with an ashen face.

After eating breakfast and eating porridge in my grandmother's room for a while, my grandmother said she was tired and wanted to rest, so my mother and I separated. Aunt Wang helped my mother walk ahead, and I followed her to the door with Green Peach and Spring Peach. My mother looked at me coldly and snorted.

"Pardon me, mother!" I had a faint smile on my face. It was better to have someone to rely on than nothing.

"Spring Peaches did not directly return to the courtyard, but followed me back to the back room. On the way, she chattered merrily and was even happier than Spring Peaches, discussing about getting Spring Peaches a set of clothes from me today and asking for a room tomorrow. I smiled and listened while Spring Peaches just followed behind us, enjoying the cheerful atmosphere around us." Sigh, why aren't you saying anything? " "Lu Ping finally realized that she was the only one among us who was talking." I'll go back and wash before I return it to you. " "Spring Peach said this." You really are! What's the point of this! " Lu Ping grumbled at her, and then whispered, "I can only ask Miss for a better one if you accept this dress!" As I listened to their whispers, I felt that living was the best thing to do.
