Chapter 28 The Little Lucky Star really brought her good fortune!
The sudden accident startled everyone, and they remained in a daze even after sitting down in the private room.
With a melodious and clear singing voice, Xiao Fengxian, who had been eagerly awaiting the performance, made a stunning appearance. Everyone listened absentmindedly, their minds still on the unexpected event from earlier.
The elderly Mrs. Lou, in particular, was still deeply shaken.
The binoculars just grazed her face and fell, almost hitting her head.
If the little girl next to her hadn't suddenly stopped to put on her shoes, she might have been bleeding profusely today.
After calming down, Madam Lou felt immense relief and gratitude.
Old Madam Lou's gaze slowly fell on the little girl beside her.
She suddenly remembered that her son and grandson had always said that this little girl was a lucky star.
Feeling her gaze, Mao Mao looked up at her: "Grandma?"
"...It's nothing." Old Madam Lou patted her head, picked up a small snack from the table and handed it to her: "Eat up, eat more."
"Thank you, Grandma."
She certainly wouldn't believe it if someone told her what was so amazing about this three-year-old.
But having experienced it firsthand, and with the shock still vivid in her mind, Old Madam Lou had no choice but to believe it.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence?
Whether it's true or not, at least this little lucky star really brought her good fortune!
Old Madam Lou couldn't help but pat the little girl's head, pat it again and again.
Mao Mao looked up in confusion: "Grandma?"
"It's nothing," said Madam Lou. "You can continue watching the play."
"oh."
As the plot of the play unfolded on stage, and with the cheers from the surrounding audience, the people in the box gradually became engrossed in the performance and temporarily forgot about the unexpected incident.
After watching the play, no one lingered outside and drove back home.
When they got home, everyone was shocked to hear that Old Madam Lou had almost had an accident at the theater.
"Mom, are you alright?"
"Grandma, which bastard hit you?"
"Madam, should I go and fetch a doctor to take a look at you? There are no external injuries, but there might be internal injuries!"
"I'll go get you some calming medicine..."
The old lady was surrounded by a large group of people, and the chatter in her ears was extremely noisy.
She waved her hand, her face tense: "Alright, alright, what kind of nonsense is this? I'm fine, aren't I?"
Lou Dashuai's stern face was now extremely tense: "Mom, let Heming take a look at you, just in case there are any aftereffects..."
Lou Heming also took out his stethoscope and was about to step forward upon hearing this.
"No need, I know what I'm doing."
At this moment, Madam Lou had calmed down, and her heartbeat was steady.
Those who survive a great calamity are destined for good fortune.
She's an old lady who's seen it all; this little thing doesn't frighten her anymore.
Grandma Lou calmly looked around and spotted the little girl squatting with the cat not far away through the gaps in the crowd. She waved to her and said, "Mao Mao, come here, come to Grandma."
"Grandma, I'm here!"
They came running over, babbling away.
The crowd parted to both sides, and after she ran past, everyone suddenly realized that something was wrong.
Wait, what did Old Madam Lou just shout?
grandmother?
Everyone couldn't help but turn their heads.
The little girl ran to her side, and Old Madam Lou pulled her aside to look at her. Suddenly, she frowned and asked, "What are you wearing?"
Everyone looked at the clothes Mao Mao was wearing.
Mao Mao has many fluffy princess dresses, which her third brother bought for her. However, since Old Madam Lou doesn't like Western clothes, Xia Xiaoxiang hasn't dressed her in them recently, but instead dug out some old clothes from the past.
Old Madam Lou frowned, tugged at her sleeve to take a look, and saw that Mao Mao had raised her little hand, which was then turned around and spun around, her little feet shuffling in place.
As Old Madam Lou examined the body, her expression turned grim.
"Why is such a young girl dressed so plainly? Anyone who doesn't know better would think that the Lou family mistreats even a small child," she said unhappily.
The ladies exchanged glances and noticed the old-fashioned jackets and skirts worn by each other.
Madam Lou: "Since she is already a maid of our Lou family, treat her like a proper young lady. Don't skimp on her food or clothing... I have some good fabrics; have someone make her some clothes."
"Mom?" The First Madam exclaimed in surprise, "Why do I need your help? I'll just have someone find a tailor to make it."
But Old Madam Lou already had her own ideas and wouldn't listen to her.
The old woman tapped the other people's legs with her cane: "Get out of the way, all of you get out of the way, don't get in my way, don't you have anything better to do?"
The crowd scattered like birds and beasts.
...
Two days later, Mao Mao put on her new clothes.
The old-fashioned, loose-fitting jacket and skirt were made by the best tailor in Haicheng. The color was a soft pink, and when she wore it, she looked like a tender flower bud on a spring branch.
When she plays at home, she runs from one end to the other, her skirt fluttering like a little butterfly.
The fabrics Old Madam Lou possessed were all precious, high-quality materials she had kept hidden away. Children grow quickly, increasing in size each year, and clothes worn this year would be too small to wear next year. Such fine materials, yet she used them to make clothes for a little baby.
The ladies talked about it privately, and couldn't help but click their tongues in amazement: "The old lady is so doting."
"I don't even love my four grandsons this much."
“Look at Mao Mao’s braids, they were braided by the old lady herself.”
"It's because she saved the old lady's life. I heard from the eldest madam that when the telescope fell, Mao Mao just happened to grab the old lady."
Everyone looked at Xia Xiaoxiang. Xia Xiaoxiang was also present that day.
She proudly raised her head, her eyebrows dancing with delight, and said, "Our Mao Mao is so lucky! It's like God is watching over her, not wanting her to suffer bad luck, and just in time she escaped it!"
“Yesterday, I saw the old lady eating chocolate.”
“Mao Mao gave it to her. The old lady usually hates foreign things so much and won’t touch them at all. But when Mao Mao gives them to her, she’s willing to accept them.”
"Is the old lady enjoying her stay here? Is she not planning to leave?"
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone turned to look.
It was the third concubine who said it.
The third concubine had reached her breaking point: "Several friends invited me to salons, but with the old lady there, I didn't dare accept any of them. If she doesn't leave soon, I'll soon be unable to hold my head up in social circles."
The third concubine tugged at her clothes: "Look at what I'm wearing now."
Of course, she was dressed quite well.
Although it's an old-fashioned jacket and skirt, it's made of good materials, and even a few years ago, it would have been presentable.
But what kind of place is this? It's Haicheng, the most fashionable and cutting-edge city! These old-fashioned clothes are no longer popular in Haicheng. Women wear cheongsams and Western-style dresses. If you were to show your face in a fashion salon wearing these old-fashioned clothes, you would be laughed at for the rest of your life.
Even if she doesn't go, many people still come to ask why she hasn't appeared for so long.
The third concubine said angrily, "I really can't stand it anymore!"
