Chapter 675 - 209: Gazing at Each Other
Three days later in the morning, when the children of the Yin Household were about to visit the Jiang Residence, Jiang Li got up, and Tonger was busy helping her to dress and make up.
Since both Madam Jiang the Elder and Lady Lu had instructed her, Jiang Li also needed to dress up carefully today. Fortunately, the new clothes that Lady Lu had sent over were not particularly bright in color. It seemed they knew that Jiang Li did not like to wear very conspicuous colors; all were light and understated, very suitable for Jiang Li. So after glancing at them, she did not find anything amiss. Tonger then selected hairpins and earrings that matched the color of the clothes for Jiang Li to wear, and looking at the reflection of the young girl in the mirror, she exclaimed, "Miss, now, you really do not bear any resemblance to who you were before."
Jiang Li looked at the girl in the mirror and found it odd that when she had just awakened in the body of Miss Jiang the Second, she had also seen the appearance of that child. She was sallow and emaciated, extremely frail, but still just a child. Now, just a year and a half later, the childishness had completely vanished, replaced by the sprightly charm and allure of a young lady.
She really should thank the heavens for giving her another chance at life, which seemed to hold endless possibilities for the future. Just like what Lady Lu and Madam Jiang the Elder had in mind, a girl like her ought to live her future days gracefully and unperturbed, finding a good man to marry, and to live a life of harmony and prosperity.
But after all, she was not the true Miss Jiang the Second and did not wish to be forever trapped in the same daily routine.
Jiang Li stood up and walked to the courtyard outside. The flowers in the courtyard were blooming, and since Tonger had returned to Fangfei Garden, she had been diligently scattering seeds around the garden. It was not noticeable in the autumn and winter, but with the arrival of spring, the flowers were in a rush to bloom, nothing like the desolation of the Jiang Residence when Jiang Li had first arrived.
"Miss, how about that, I told you our days would get better and better," Tonger said with a smile.
Jiang Li smiled too: "Naturally."
She hoped things would continue to get better.
