Pingyang Hou Mansion, Linlang Courtyard.

The heavy warm curtains were hanging low, and the smell of sandalwood in the room was slightly floating. Even so, the heavy fragrance of medicine could not be concealed.

The maids in the room were walking quietly and silently.

Outside Linlang Courtyard, a girl's worried voice came: "Is grandmother better?"

The answer to her was Bai Lu, one of the capable maids around Mrs. Pingyang Hou in Linlangyuan.

"When I say to Miss Chan, the old lady used medicine at noon. She has been sleeping for half an hour and has not yet gotten up." Bai Lu's voice was soft and she spoke softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing the old lady who was resting in the room.

The girl who asked about it was Shu Yachan, the only legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Pingyang.

Shu Yachan was dressed very simply today, only wearing a water-blue waist-pinching jacket, a very homely horse-faced skirt underneath, and a jade hairpin was slanted on her head, looking very homely.

She looked sad: "My grandmother has been sick for five days, and I am always worried in my heart. I will go to the side hall to sit for a while. When my grandmother wakes up, I will talk to her and relieve her boredom."

Bai Lu responded respectfully, turned her head sideways, and asked Shu Yachan to leave first.

Shu Yachan sat in the side hall, and a little maid came to serve tea and fruits.

She picked up the teacup, gently sucked the faint osmanthus flower floating on her head with the tea cover, and looked at the maid Wen Qi next to her quietly.

Wen Qi understood and took a step forward very well, pulled Bai Lu aside with affectionateness, and whispered: "Sister Bai Lu, my mother's relatives came to see her from Changlu these days, and brought the drizzled persimmon cakes over the past few days. They were so delicious... It's not me that our capital is good, but it still lacks the taste of hometown. I still have a box, so I will clean it up and take it for Sister Bai Lu."

Bai Lu's eyes showed some intentions, but he smiled and refused: "It's not good, I won't be rewarded without any merits."

Wen Qi said angrily: "Look at what Sister Bai Lu said, we are all from Changlu, and the dangfrost persimmon cake is not a rare thing, it is just a little snack in my hometown. What kind of merit is it... Sister Bai Lu should not be with me either."

Bai Lu has been away from home for many years and I really miss her a little.

She thought for a while and laughed in a low voice: "Speaking of this, I have made a few new sachets and I will get one for you."

Wen Qi laughed and said, "Who doesn't know that Sister Bai Lu is good at needlework, so I'll take advantage of it."

Shu Yachan smiled and put down the Osmanthus Eight Treasure Tea in her hand: "Wenqi, what good things have you dug out of your sister Bai Lu's hands? What can you take advantage of? This is not good."

Wen Qi bent her knees at Shu Yachan and smiled and said, "When the lady heard that she wanted to take advantage of Sister Bai Lu, she hurriedly protected her. She was really partial to Sister Bai Lu!"

Bai Lu pursed her lips and smiled delicately: "Miss Chan is used to love me. Wenqi, you can't envy you."

Wenqi smiled and said, "Miss loves Sister Bai Lu, and Sister Bai Lu loves me. I'm not a loss when I talk about it."

The side hall was talking and laughing, looking very harmonious.

After a while, there was a movement in the inner room. Several maids walked into the inner room with clean faces and washed things. Bai Lu knew that it must be the old lady of Pingyang Hou who woke up.

Shu Yachan said happily: "It seems that my grandmother is awake."

Bai Lu nodded: "Miss Chan will rest here first, I will go and see the old lady."

Shu Yachan nodded and said generously: "Okay, Bai Lu, go and see it quickly, I'll wait here."

Bai Lu bowed slightly to Shu Yachan and bowed, and hurried to the inner room.

In the inner room, Mrs. Pingyang Hou was indeed awake.

She was being held by her maid Lixia and leaned against the big pillow behind her, and the maid was holding a wet and hot handkerchief to help clean her face and hands.

Bai Lu hurried in, looked at the old lady Pingyang Hou carefully, with a slight smile on her face, and said softly: "The old lady has recovered a lot, and I think she will be cured when she is sick."

The old lady of Pingyang Hou took a cup of warm tea handed over by Lixia, rinsed her mouth, and then spit it into the spittoon held by the maid on the side. Then she smiled and said, "It's not a serious illness. I've been lying for a few days and I have taken some medicines for a lot of time. It's time to get rid of it."

She was kind-hearted and spoke slowly, not at all like when she was young, she used to fight with the Pingyang Hou and killed the enemy.

Bai Lu couldn't help laughing and stepped forward to help the old lady Pingyang Hou tuck the corner of the quilt: "The old lady is blessed and happy, and her descendants are very filial, so naturally she will be healthy soon. Now, Miss Chan is still waiting for you to wake up in the side hall and come to talk to you to relieve your boredom."

Speaking of descendants, the old lady of Pingyang Hou thought of something, and a faint smile appeared on her face with some ravines: "The child Yachan is kind and comes to take care of me every day."

Bai Lu smiled and said, "Will that servant help the old lady go and tell Miss Chan?"

The old lady of Pingyang Hou hesitated for a moment and said, "Forget it, let the child go back and have a good rest. She has been here for the past few days. I heard that His Majesty had a new county lord yesterday and held a banquet, but she didn't even go... What's the old lady with me?"

"Miss Chan is filial and I feel sorry for you. You are also kind and I feel sorry for Miss Chan." Bai Lu said softly, "Then I will say to Miss Chan now."

The old lady of Pingyang Hou said "hmm" and didn't say anything beside her.

Bai Lu walked out, and before she could reach the warm curtain, she saw a little maid opening the warm curtain. It turned out that a maid came in outside and spread it.

The maid who was rumored to the old lady of Pingyang Hou in a hurry: "Old lady, Mrs. Shunguo is here to see you."

Generally, when these noble families come to visit, they need to have posts.

But when the old lady of Pingyang Hou and Shunguo Duke were in the boudoir, they had handkerchiefs. When they got married, Pingyang Hou and Shunguo Duke also had a good relationship, and they often walked around.

Like this, if you don’t have a post, you will be criticized by others, but it is common between Mrs. Hou of Pingyang and Mrs. Duke of Shunguo, and it is nothing.

The old lady of Pingyang Hou couldn't help but laugh: "I, an old sister, have told her that I have nothing to do with this disease." The old lady of Pingyang Hou shook her head while smiling, but also instructed the maid to invite the old lady of Shunguo to the warm house.

The maid who was in a hurry to communicate left, and Bai Lu was about to leave.

The old lady of Pingyang Hou suddenly called Bai Lu: "Bai Lu, please let Chan'er prepare and follow me to meet the old lady of Shunguo Duke later."

Bai Lu paused, and did not show surprise on her face. She said softly in a submissive voice: "I understand."
