The Marquise: I Earn My Own Worship

"Sister, sister, wake up, it's time to get up."

Sister Wei was awakened by Yu Zhong. She looked at the ceiling of Luo Yu Lanhua's bed with hazy eyes, and she was still drowsy.

"Aunt, what time is it?"

Yu Zhong suppressed a smile and said, "It's already the first quarter of the morning. The old lady sent a message today, saying that I'm going there for dinner this morning."

Sister Wei was surrounded by a group of maids, and her eyes were still closed while she was wiping her face.

Seeing that his sister still looked sleepy today, Yu Zhong couldn't help but ask a few more questions.

"Did you sleep late last night?"

Sister Wei half raised her eyes and was much more sober.

"No, I had a wonderful dream yesterday and didn't want to wake up. If my aunt hadn't woken me up, I would have been happy for a while."

As she spoke, she started to get a little tantrum. After all, she was still a little girl, and she felt uncomfortable being woken up from a sweet dream.

Yu Zhong had a smile on her face, and happily asked Sister Wei to forgive her this time.

Only then did Sister Wei notice that Yu Zhong was filled with joy. When she looked again, she saw that not only Yu Zhong, but also the servants serving in the room had joyful expressions on their faces.

"Did the sun rise from the west today? Everyone is so happy, like they just found gold on the road."

Seeing this, the maids all smiled softly. Yutai continued, "That's not true. We woke up this morning and saw the morning sun scattering dew, and the magpies singing under the eaves. We couldn't help but feel happy. Today must be a good day."

Sister Wei tilted her head to look out the window, and everything was the same as usual.

Sister Wei was a little angry. Why was she the only one who felt uncomfortable?

When I woke up, I dreamed that I was in Shuzhou. My father had returned and my mother was calling them back to the house for snacks. My father was holding Xuandi and pulling her back when he was woken up.

Thinking about not seeing her mother, Sister Wei felt sad again.

In the past, Yu Zhong would always ask a lot of questions when he saw her, but today he was acting out of character and was only concerned with choosing clothes and jewelry for Sister Wei.

"I remember there was a treasure box in the second big chest in the gauze cupboard. On the second layer of the box, there was a glass necklace with an elephant pattern inlaid with gold. Take it out. It will be a perfect match for the young lady's Sumei double-breasted jacket."

Wei Jieer wore her hair in a double bun today, adorned with a few pearl flowers. She also wore a lotus flower between her eyebrows. Without any makeup, she looked like a fairy who had fallen to earth.

What little girl doesn't love beauty? Sister Wei looked at her outfit today, touched the pattern on her forehead, and without any of her sleepy temper, she smiled and said, "This outfit is much prettier than before."

Yu Zhong put the sachet on Wei Jie'er and smoothed her skirt.

"My sister used to wear plain clothes, but now that she's older, she should wear brighter clothes to look more energetic."

Sister Wei's mood also improved. She packed up and prepared to go out.

The maids in the courtyard were all very happy today, and for some reason, Sister Wei was also a little excited.

"Look at you, you're such losers. I'm in a good mood today, young lady. I'm giving every maid in the yard a pair of melon seeds to play with."

Yu Nan and a group of maids happily accepted the reward. These melon seeds were not for eating, but silver melon seeds specially given as rewards in the young lady's room.

Yu Nan stayed in the yard to watch over it, while Yu Zhong took Yu Tai, Yu Qing, four other maids and two old women to the old lady's yard.

The smile on Yu Zhong's face never stopped throughout the journey, which made Wei Jie'er look at him in surprise.

My aunt has always been calm and steady, and it is rare to see her like this.

"Aunt must be hiding something from me."

Sister Wei was being held by Yu Zhong, and Yu Zhong felt the little hand being gently shaken.

Seeing Sister Wei's puzzled face, Yu Zhong forced himself to hold back from telling the truth.

After a few vague words, fortunately, Kang Ge'er and Xuan Ge'er came over at this time, and the three of them met at the corridor.

Sister Wei looked at the two people, one big and one small, holding hands. They had two similar faces. The only difference was that both Xuan Ge'er and Sister Wei had almond-shaped eyes, just like their father.

As Kang Ge'er grows older, his eyes become rounder, like a puppy's eyes, and he looks more naive when he smiles.

Now his figure is not as plump as before, but probably because of practicing martial arts, he is a size bigger than his peers.

Ever since Sister Wei fell ill last time, Duan Jingzong has also been recuperating, and Xuan Ge'er was taken to Kang Ge'er's room.

They have been eating and sleeping together for the past two days. If someone doesn’t know them, they would think they are brothers.

When Xuan Ge'er saw his sister, he forgot about his biological brother and ran to Wei Jie'er, naturally holding his sister's hand.

Yu Zhong stepped aside and let the three masters walk in front.

Sister Wei held her younger brother's hand, looked at her cousin jokingly and said, "I've been tired for a few days, and I haven't congratulated my cousin on having a younger brother."

Kang Ge'er was confused. When did he get a younger brother? How come he didn't know?

"When did this happen? How come I don't know? Mother didn't tell me either?"

Kang Ge'er was a little confused. Even if his mother was pregnant, how would his cousin know whether it was a brother or a sister?

Sister Wei shook her head helplessly, and the pearl flowers on her head trembled slightly.

Xuan Ge'er reacted and hurriedly shook Wei Jie'er's hand.

"My sister and I are the best friends in the world!"

Seeing that Cousin Kang still didn't understand, Sister Wei blinked mischievously and said mischievously, "Fool!"

Kang Ge'er was still thinking about what had just happened, and now that it was mentioned again, he was even more confused.

Sister Wei looked at her cousin's dazed look and whispered in Brother Xuan's ear.

"You said your brother used to be the best at pleasing people, but why is he becoming more and more silly as he gets older? Could it be that he's read too many books and become a fool?"

Xuan Ge'er glanced at his cousin who was instructing the servants to pick osmanthus flowers not far away, and muttered to himself.

"Maybe he hasn't woken up yet?"

Looking at Xuan Ge'er who was trying hard to make up for his good brother, Wei Jie'er pinched his chubby face gently with amusement.

"You feel sorry for him."

At this time, Kang Ge'er had caught up with them and handed the osmanthus branch in his hand to Wei Jie'er.

Sister Wei wrapped a branch in a handkerchief, took it and sniffed it.

"It smells so good!"

The servant behind him was holding a large bunch of flowers, which Kangger had folded for his grandmother and mother.

"Last night I smelled a faint floral fragrance. This morning I woke up and found that many of the osmanthus trees in the yard were in bloom. I picked a few and put them in the room. They smell better than those incense sticks."

Sister Wei also became interested and quickly asked Yuqing to fold some and put them in the room. When she returned home, the room was filled with fragrance.

After passing the small garden, you need to cross a corridor and then go through the hanging flower gate, and you will be almost there.

This corridor is lined with osmanthus trees on both sides, leading directly from the small garden to the hanging flower gate. There was a wind last night, and some small flower grains were blown to the ground.

A gentle breeze blew through the passage, carrying the fragrance of osmanthus in the air, and some small grains of rice fell on Xuan Ge'er's head.

As they were walking, Sister Wei suddenly said, "Is Mid-Autumn Festival approaching?"

Kang Ge'er patted the rice on his body and said, "It seems so."

Seeing this, Yu Zhong quickly replied, "Mid-Autumn Festival is in two days."

Sister Wei nodded silently without saying anything. Xuan Ge'er felt his sister's slight emotion and couldn't help but move closer.

After a while, Bisongyuan could be seen from afar. Sister Wei was so eager to see her grandmother that she quickened her pace.
