It had only been a few days since Li Tian'er came back, but the changes in the Li family really shocked her. Li Man'er, who was the least popular at first, has now become a favorite. Not only the servants in the house respect her, but even the Cui family
This family leader also loved her very much, which was completely different from before.
Li Man'er is even more favored than Li Zhaoer now, but Li Zhaoer is actually married to an old man, which simply subverts her cognition.
"Why are you competing with her?" Bai said nonchalantly: "You and her are taking two completely different paths. No matter how much your grandmother dotes on her, she can't decide the affairs of the Tian family."
But Li Tianer said worriedly: "But the Queen Mother..."
It cannot be said that it is impossible to have two concubines from the same family, but it is extremely rare. The Li family already has a concubine, so the possibility of her being able to enter the palace to serve the emperor is not high, and she herself is not happy.
How old is the emperor? He is the same age as her grandfather. Naturally, she is unwilling. But what if she marries the prince? That might be another story.
The premise is that only one person from their family can marry the prince and become the prince's concubine.
Li Maner's appearance is outstanding, and she is favored by the Queen Mother. With Cui's help, she might be able to surpass her.
Li Tian'er was a little unsure, and even Bai Shi showed a thoughtful expression after hearing her words.
"In the past, if someone said that my eldest sister could steal my limelight, I would never believe it. But now, the facts are in front of me. I heard that Princess Yu personally put the jade string on her hand. This is terrible.
It’s incredible, except Princess Wuyou, I haven’t heard of the old princess looking at anyone differently in recent years.”
Bai Shi was murmuring in her heart, but she didn't say anything.
Li Tian'er, however, was thinking deeply, "When it comes to Rongguo Duke's palace, this is the best marriage. There is nothing wrong with Tong Qiao, and she still has to break off the engagement even if she doesn't like him, unless she is attracted to the prince."
Bai Shi only said: "Why are you worrying so much? This matter is mine. Don't worry, Li Man'er has a bad reputation and I can't get past you."
Li Tian'er seemed to be happy, but then she said: "Mom, grandma said that for us women, our husbands are our top priority, virtue, grace, and the reputation of our boudoir are all very important. But I don't think what grandma said is right or wrong."
"Correct or not?" Bai said, "That grandma is not an ordinary person. How can her words be wrong?"
"Mommy is not an ordinary person, but in the final analysis she is just a slave. How well can she guess what the master is thinking?" Li Tianer only said: "When a prince chooses a concubine, it also depends on his family background, just like us.
Marriage is the same."
"That's natural." Mrs. Bai also agreed, "Girls who can marry a prince are naturally from a famous family."
"So, after all, the princes also want to marry a virtuous wife who can help them. Li Man'er's reputation has improved now, and with the help of the Queen Mother and Old Princess Yu, maybe, she is already..."
Wang's face was a little gloomy. When she thought that Li Man'er's maternal grandfather's family was very rich, she felt even more panicked. No matter what they do, money is inseparable, especially for princes who want to succeed.
For big things, there are many places to spend money!
"You don't have to worry about this, just keep it in your stomach." Wang said, "Learn the rules well, that's the most important thing."
Li Tian'er knew that Mrs. Bai was angry and Li Man'er would definitely not get any benefit, so she smiled and said: "Mom, I understand."
Li Tian'er's scruples are somewhat reasonable. After getting a jade string from Princess Yu, Li Man'er's worth seems to have risen again. Many families held banquets and left messages for Li Man'er. But Guo Guo
The 100th day of the family has not passed yet, so Li Maner rejected them all and did not go to any of them.
This made Ms. Bai very angry. Things are really different now. In the past, if you wanted to catch Li Man'er, you would catch a lot of them at once, but now! You can't find anything wrong with her.
Li Tian'er is really a master at cheating on her mother. She immediately reminded Bai, "It's not difficult to make her make a mistake. All she needs to do is ruin her reputation. As for whether she did it or not, who cares?"
Mrs. Bai felt that her daughter was very smart, so she immediately thought of a plan.
The weather is getting colder and colder. Although the ground dragon has not been burned yet, a charcoal pot has been placed in the house.
Li Man'er was wrapped in a cotton quilt and slept in the dark, like a little pig that only wanted to hibernate.
There is no way, it was too boring in ancient times. Apart from reading and embroidering, there seemed to be nothing else to do.
As for the remittance of accounts from various shops, she always summarizes them on a monthly basis. The account books are not a problem for her at all. The reconciliation work that others think is extremely boring and cumbersome is just a piece of cake for her.
After all, the ancients probably couldn't understand the power of calculators. Besides, she also has a modern account management method, so she is not afraid of such trivial matters as checking accounts.
When Li Man'er was sleeping soundly, she suddenly heard a sound coming from the house. She reacted very quickly, opened her eyes and sat up from the bed. Sure enough, she saw several snakes in the house.
Ordinary people would not dare to move a single step when they saw these three-foot-long insects. However, Li Man'er was not afraid at all and got out of bed and caught the slow-moving snakes.
The snakes were already hibernating at this time, but several snakes suddenly appeared in her house. It was obviously man-made, otherwise it would not have been such a coincidence.
Li Maner immediately called Zi Yan and asked her to get a sack.
When Zi Yan saw the snake, she was speechless and her pretty face turned pale, "Girl, this, this thing came out of nowhere."
"Don't worry about it. Go get the sack. Keep your voice down and don't let others know."
Zi Yan was in shock, but she didn't dare to scream and immediately turned around to find the sack.
Li Man'er put the snake in, tied the mouth of the sack tightly, and then said, "Come out with me."
Zi Yan helped her change her clothes, "Girl, what are we going to do?"
"you guess?"
Zi Yan really couldn't guess, so she took Li Man'er's brocade cloak and tied it for her, "Is it to be released?"
Longworms are among the immortals. Maybe the girl has a kind heart and wants to release them all!
"Haha, your aunt is not as good as me. Let's go catch the person who released the snake."
"Girl, someone put this thing in your house on purpose? It's too hateful. What if it bites someone?"
"They are all non-toxic. Maybe they just want to scare us!"
The master and servant took the hand warmers out of the house and wandered around Qingpingxuan.
The two boys who had been hiding in the dark for a long time had runny noses from the cold, "Why haven't they screamed yet? Could it be that all those long insects have been frozen to death?"
"How is it possible? It wasn't frozen when I took it out!" The two people leaned together to keep warm and kept breathing into their hands.
