Nothing in the Hou Mansion can be hidden from the eyes of the Cui family. Not to mention Li Tianer, even the Cui family was jealous of the things the Ning family sent a few days ago. When Li Maner was confused, he often spread his wealth abroad.
To please the people around you, you even turn a blind eye to those who come to your door for no reason.
But now Li Man'er is not as easy to talk to as before.
But Ms. Cui will still speak for Li Maner.
"Don't worry, Qingpingxuan will be fine, not a blade of grass will be lost." Cui's words were full of anger, and no one dared to comment on the majesty of the mansion.
"Thank you, grandma. Only in this way can I go to Mobei without any distractions."
Although Li Man'er's words made both Bai and Li Tian'er feel embarrassed, both of them were people who could swallow their anger. Li Man'er's face was about to be stepped into the mud, but no one wanted to leave.
"Absolutely no news about Man'er's going to Mobei should be leaked. You two should keep your mouths shut. If I find out who is going out to talk nonsense, please be careful of the family law."
Everyone stood up, bowed and said, "Yes."
Mrs. Cui looked at Mrs. Bai and Li Tian'er. Both mother and daughter were honest and seemed to understand the seriousness of the matter. Even Li En, who had always been cynical, behaved himself and no longer acted like before.
"I called you here just to tell you about this important matter. This matter is of great importance to our Hou Mansion. At this time, the whole family must think in one place and work hard in one place. If anyone dares to do it secretly,
A stumbling block, it causes pain to relatives and blames enemies. Don't blame me for being unkind."
"Whatever my mother said, it was all about being a family. Naturally, brothers and sisters are respectful to each other, humble and accommodating."
"There is no best." Mrs. Cui shifted the topic to Li Man'er's trip to Mobei, "Man'er's trip is full of crises. In addition to a few of your father's personal guards, I plan to send a small team of people to escort her.
go."
"It should be." Second Master Li Yi finally said something human, "No matter how strong Man'er is, she is only a woman after all, and we must ensure her safety."
Mrs. Cui added: "I think our family can't let Man'er go to Mobei alone."
Bai's eyebrows skipped a beat, feeling that Cui's words had a profound meaning.
"What does mother mean?"
Mrs. Cui circled her second son and youngest son twice, "We are brothers fighting the tiger. Father and son are going into battle. Man'er cannot go alone. You are the brothers of the Marquis and Man'er's elders. You should go together."
Li Yi looked embarrassed. It wasn't that he was afraid of hard work, but if he went to Mobei, he would have to take leave. Now was the critical moment for revising books. Once he left, he would no longer have this good job.
Mrs. Bai was very anxious, "Mom, the Second Master still has some errands to do. What a glorious thing it is to repair books. It's rare that several great sages choose the Second Master. If you miss this, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
Li Maner was not in a hurry, so he sat quietly, but his brain was working rapidly.
Mr. Li is a scholar, so it would be unrealistic for him to go to Mobei.
As for Fourth Master Li...
Li Man'er had a headache. He was just a dandy. He was a hindrance. This man was delicate and expensive, and not as capable as a woman. Instead of letting him follow him, it was better to go alone!
"Fourth..."
Before Ms. Cui finished speaking, Li En sat down on the ground, crying and crying: "Mom, you can't let me follow you! I only know how to eat, drink and have fun, and nothing else."
Ah. I am a scholar. Even if I am not as knowledgeable as my second brother, I am still a master of civil engineering, right? Where did I go to a bitter and cold place like Mobei? If I went there, I might not have reached the place before.
worn out."
Li Man'er felt extremely disgusted in her heart, but she didn't show any signs of it on her face, quietly watching Li En's performance.
Fourth Master Li keeps saying that he is a scholar and a master of civil engineering, but he has never read a book in the past few years. He has not made progress in knowledge but has retreated. Now he is afraid that he is not even as good as a scholar. Every day he only eats, drinks, has fun, and indulges in women.
, such a person is simply a disgrace to the Li family. Don’t say you know her when you go out.
Ms. Cui slapped the table hard and said angrily: "Okay, I didn't tell you to go either. Who can you show to me by acting like this?"
Not letting him go?
Mr. Li stood up from the ground despite the thunder and said, "Mom, are you serious?"
"Of course it's true." Ms. Cui pointed at Mr. Li and cursed, "If you go, you will only be able to hold back your eldest brother and Man'er."
Mr. Li smiled and admitted, "Mom is right, I still have this bit of self-awareness."
If the fourth master doesn’t go, should he let the second master go?
Bai's face didn't look good, and she asked cautiously, "Mom, if the fourth master doesn't go, we can't let the second master go! He is also a scholar, and his health has never been very good."
The second master glared at Ms. Bai fiercely and then said: "Mother is in charge of all major family matters. What do you, a woman, know? Shut up."
Bai Shi glanced at Li Yi angrily. She was a woman, but an old lady was not? She said this because she wanted him to be safe.
Cui comforted her daughter-in-law and scolded Li Yi calmly, "What are you yelling at? Isn't your wife right? Look at your own body. You only read, write, and draw at your desk every day. I'm afraid
I can’t even get on the horseback. Follow Man’er to Mobei. Man’er will ride the horse. What will it look like for you to ride in the carriage?”
Li Yi's face turned red, and it took him a long time to utter a few words, "That's what mother said."
Li Man'er thought to herself, this won't work, that won't work either, so what Cui said before was all nonsense. Could it be that she just meant it and didn't intend to send anyone to follow her?
Li Maner breathed a sigh of relief, and felt more comfortable going to Mobei by himself.
At this moment, there was a sudden noise outside the door, as if someone was about to break in, but was stopped by the maids.
Everyone in the room pricked up their ears to listen. Mrs. Cui gave her a look, and Grandma Wang walked out quickly.
"Your Majesty, why are you here?"
Everyone in the room had different expressions. Unexpectedly, it was Li Qingyun who came.
"Hey, Crown Prince, Crown Prince." Grandma Wang couldn't stop Li Qingyun and could only watch as he barged in.
After Li Qingyun entered the room, he first saluted the elders in the room, and then said: "Grandma, I want Yunmobei."
"Nonsense!" Ms. Cui was obviously angry, "Where are the people around the Crown Prince? Why don't you give them some advice? It's so cold outside, what should I do if I get sick?"
Li Man'er almost burst out laughing. Li Qingyun is twelve years old. In later generations, he would be just a primary school student. But in this age, he can even get married. Mrs. Cui actually still protects him like a young child.
, what is the difference between this and harming him?
