Concubine is difficult

Chapter 41 Make persistent efforts
After a whole morning's work, Wu Yuanyi looked at the time, and it was almost time for his grandmother to worship the Buddha.She changed into a light apricot-colored long gown, and her hair was simply combed into two buns. Because some jewelry was secretly given by her aunt, she was rather old-fashioned, so she simply tied a ribbon.

As soon as she came to Changsheng Residence, she was stopped by Granny Zao.

"Fifth Miss, the old lady is paying respects to the Buddha, and I have no time to meet you now." Grandma Zao looked at Fifth Miss. This is Aunt Jiang's daughter. She has not inherited much of Aunt Jiang's appearance, but she is timid and cowardly. ten.It's just that now, she has a new feeling for Miss Fifth, she still dared to come after meeting the old madam yesterday.

"Grandma Zao, Xiao Wu knows that Xiao Wu took the scriptures copied last night and gave them to the old lady." Wu Yuanyi copied the scriptures for him, eyes like a frightened deer, afraid of Granny Zao's rejection.

Granny Zao was silent, this... Although the old lady did not agree with Fifth Miss to accompany her to worship Buddha, she could not refuse Fifth Miss to send scriptures.To accept or not to accept?Grandma Zao was in a dilemma.

"Grandma Zao, Xiao Wu also wants to share the old lady's worries!" Wu Yuanyi brought the scriptures closer again, and his tone became softer.

Granny Zao's heart had already softened, she gritted her teeth, and said, "Okay, just this time, the old slave will send it to Miss Fifth, but in the future, the old slave can't guarantee anything." She made it clear early in the morning, This time she sent it in for the sake of face. If the old lady is not happy, it is impossible to send it in next time even if it is sent to her hand.

"Thank you, Grandma Zao!" Wu Yuanyi was overjoyed, as long as he took the first step, would there be nothing he could do in the future?She took out a few pieces of silver from the pouch at her waist, and stuffed it into Granny Zao's hands. She borrowed it from Tao Hong, and the lady of which family was worse than her, so she asked the servants to borrow money.

Grandma Zao looked at Wu Yuanyi's simple attire, although she didn't say it was unreasonable, but compared to other young ladies in the Wu Mansion, she was so shabby that even people around her, the old lady, could wear brocade attire.When she thought of Aunt Jiang, she felt that the silver in her hand was as heavy as a thousand pieces of gold.At first she wanted to decline, but she thought again, would this make Miss Wu think that she didn't want to help?
Seeing Miss Fifth's little face full of hope, Grandma Zao stuffed the money into her sleeve.She nodded slightly to Miss Fifth, took the scriptures, turned and entered the inner room.

The old lady knelt in front of the Buddhist altar, muttering something, the beads in her hand kept sliding slowly.She heard the slight sound of footsteps, and they stopped beside her. She ignored it and kept chanting sutras with her heart.

After a long time, when the old lady finished reading a passage and was about to get up, Grandma Zao who was beside her hurried forward to help her.The old lady stood up immediately, and she glanced at Granny Zao with sharp eyes, she knew that something must have happened to Granny Zao after she left the inner room and came back.

Grandma Zao knew that the old lady was examining herself, so she just wanted to find some excuse to explain the situation just now.She helped the old lady to the bed and leaned against it, put the old lady's legs flat on the bed, and massaged them gently.

"I'm old, I can't do it after just kneeling for a while." The old lady said slowly with her eyes half closed.

"The old lady is strong and healthy. You see, I have white hair, but you have black hair!" Grandma Zao said with a smile. She always took care of the old lady herself in these matters.
