Cui was born in Zhennan Bofu, and she has been influenced by her since she was a child. The most important thing is the rank of the noble family. When it comes to house fighting, Cui is definitely a top expert, and three Guos tied together will not be her opponent.
When the old Marquis was young, he had countless beautiful concubines in his mansion. What about the Cui family? Not only did they successfully give birth to three sons and a daughter, but they also gave birth to a concubine like Li Nian in the huge Tiedan Marquis mansion, which is enough to prove that
She is very clever.
Mrs. Cui is now old and has no business, but that doesn't mean she doesn't care about the reputation of the Hou Mansion! A servant's wife dares to come to the house to ask for someone in a grand manner. Does she think that the Tie Dan Hou Mansion is a vegetable market?
Mr. Guo is also confused. How important is the reputation of her daughter's family! Is this kind of thing a person's business? Man'er has dirty water on his body, can Zhao'er be clean?
Mrs. Cui said to Aunt Wang: "You take the name card of the Marquis and go there. After sending the people away, let Mr. Guo and Zhao'er come to see me."
"Yes! I will go immediately."
When Li Man'er saw Grandma Wang going to Chaohui Hall, she got up and prepared to go back. After the complaint was over, she wanted to go back and rest.
"Don't leave! Can I still eat you?" Mrs. Cui rarely smiled at Li Man'er, and ordered her servants: "Bring the eldest girl a bowl of sour plum soup to quench her thirst, and pick up two of her favorite snacks.
send over."
Yunxiu said: "I remember that the eldest girl likes to eat cloud cakes and dragon beard cakes. I will pick up two more delicious ones and send them over."
"Yes!" Ms. Cui nodded with satisfaction. Yunxiu was the smartest one. She didn't even remember what Li Man'er liked to eat, but Yunxiu remembered the preferences of all the masters in the house.
Yun Xiu walked up to Zi Yan again and said, "Sister, come with me. The osmanthus cheese has just been made in the kitchen, and we just happened to be lazy to try a bowl." After saying this, she covered her mouth and laughed.
Cui laughed and teased her, "You girl, you are just a greedy cat, go ahead!"
Of course Zi Yan knew that Yun Xiu was not promoting her, but that the old lady had something to say to the girl, so she found a reason to send her away.
When Yunxiu went out, she called away all the girls and women who were waiting in the room, leaving only Aunt Du in the room to serve the old lady.
There are only two mothers in charge of Ms. Cui who are most honorable these days, one is Grandma Wang and the other is Mrs. Du.
Mrs. Du is tall and thin, unlike Grandma Wang, who is as fat as a dough ball. Just looking at her face, she seems to be a person who is not easy to talk to.
But in the memory of the original owner, this Aunt Du was one of the few people who had good intentions towards her.
"Grandma, do you want to tell me something?"
Ms. Cui looked at Li Man'er carefully. The longer the girl grew, the more she looked like Ms. Ning. Her skin was like cream, her bright eyes were good at gazing, and she looked like a beautiful woman.
As the saying goes, love comes from the heart. In the past, Li Maner was very beautiful, but it was a pity that she was an empty-skinned person. She could see through people after just two glances. Now she has three or four parts of Ning's shadow.
, the person is a little calmer, and the most important thing is that he seems to have suddenly enlightened and become very smart.
"Yes!" Ms. Cui said with a smile: "What do you think grandma wants to say to you?"
Li Man'er tilted her head slightly and thought for a moment, then said: "I guess grandma wants to tell me that everything will be prosperous for my family."
Mrs. Cui kept nodding her head, "You girl, you have indeed changed a lot! In the past, even if I wanted to tell you these truths, you wouldn't listen! But today you impress me with admiration. In the past, even though you were in the house
You have suffered a lot of grievances, but after all, you are the eldest daughter of the Tiedanhou Mansion. You don’t need your grandmother to tell you the principle of both prosperity and loss, right?"
After all, Mrs. Cui still wants to protect Mrs. Guo and her daughter and tell her not to worry about it. It’s no wonder that Mrs. Guo’s mother is of the same blood as Mrs. Cui. Although she is a concubine, she is also Mrs. Cui’s sister, and Mrs. Guo can also be regarded as Mrs. Cui’s niece.
.
This kind of thing is done for the sake of favoritism! Guo married into the Li family to fill in the house and was very successful. First of all, she gave birth to two sons and a daughter for Li Shu. When the eldest son Li Qingyun was ten years old, he was already married to Li Shu.
By being crowned the crown prince, she can be regarded as meritorious in giving birth. Secondly, Mrs. Guo is a good steward of the family and has kept the Marquis Tiedan Mansion in order for so many years. From the perspective of being a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Guo is also qualified!
She just raised an unpleasant girl in the house. Who cares? She just wants her daughter to marry better than the deceased Li Maner. What's wrong with this!?
Perhaps in the eyes of these people, Li Maner is still ignorant of good and evil and does not know how to be grateful!
"Grandma, don't worry, I understand all these principles." Li Man'er said: "The past things are over, and my granddaughter also hopes that the whole house will be harmonious!"
Mrs. Cui was greatly pleased, "You are a good boy, a good boy." She waved her hand and motioned for Aunt Du to bring over the box she had prepared earlier.
"This is all my body. I am an old woman and I have no use for you. You are of the right age. Dress up well. Go out more when you have nothing to do. It is also good to make a few handkerchief friends. After you get married, imagine now
It’s difficult to live an unrestrained life like this!”
This last sentence is what Cui said from her heart.
Li Man'er thought for a while and then said: "Grandma, it's okay not to mention the marriage between our family and the Duke of Rongguo!" She was hinting to Cui that she didn't care about the marriage.
"Silly boy, this marriage was given by the Queen Mother, do you think it's just a housewife? You can take it if you want it, but you can take it if you don't want it?" Ms. Cui shook her head slightly and stopped talking.
Just at this time, Yun Xiu came back with Zi Yan. The two brought Li Man'er's favorite snacks and chilled sour plum soup.
"Try it quickly and see if this cloud cake suits your taste."
Li Man'er's stomach was already empty. When he heard what Cui said, he stopped being polite and started eating snacks directly.
Aunt Du handed the box to Zi Yan and said, "This is a reward from the old lady to your master. You must hold it."
This was originally a joke, but at this moment, Grandma Wang brought Guo and her daughter into the house. Li Zhaoer listened to what Grandma Du said and saw Li Maner enjoying herself in front of Cui.
The treatment he enjoyed made him even more angry.
"My eldest sister has even complained to my grandmother. You are really good at it!"
Mrs. Guo scolded her daughter calmly, "Zhao'er, don't be rude."
Li Man'er calmly put down the food in her hands and stepped forward to greet Mrs. Guo. Although she was respectful on the outside, she was secretly cursing in her heart: Damn, this was not good in ancient times. She always greeted and kowtowed.
Guo didn't show anything on her face, but still had a bit of a smile on her face: "Mrs. Jiang came suddenly today, did it scare you?"
