Li Maner thought about it for a while, but couldn't figure out the purpose of Princess Wuyou's post to him. However, the puzzle will be solved automatically in three days. It's useless to think about it now. It's better to go out for a walk.
Li Man'er was in a good mood and decided to take the girl for a stroll on the street. She had been here for so many days and she hadn't gone out yet!
This country is also a very enlightened country. There is no bad habit of binding feet and women are not allowed to appear in public. Although it is still a male-dominated society, women's sense of participation is not too low. She can give five points to this.
stars.
The girls were very happy when they heard that they could go shopping, "Girls, you should dress more simply when going out!"
Zi Yan took out two sets of dresses made of relatively ordinary materials from the box, "Are you going to wear this blue one or this yellow one?"
At this time, Li Man'er missed the simple clothes of her previous life very much. She had several sets prepared in the space, but she couldn't take them out to wear.
"It's still a bit complicated. It would be nice to have a men's suit."
The girls looked at me and I looked at you, and they actually found a set of men's clothes for her from under the box.
"This set was made last year. I don't know if it can still be worn. How about you give it a try?"
Li Man'er took it and took a look and felt that the size was quite suitable. Once she put it on and combed her hair into a half ponytail, she looked like a woman pretending to be a man.
"You can still wear it." Lu Yi said, "Our girl is already seventeen, so she won't grow any taller, right?" She was worried that the girl would grow too tall and it would be difficult for her to get married in the future.
"It stands to reason that it won't grow any longer." Zi Yan found another pair of men's shoes embroidered with auspicious clouds and handed them to Li Man'er, "You can try these shoes, maybe you can wear them?"
Li Man'er put on the shoes again and walked a few steps, "It seems to fit."
"How about my slave combing your hair? Just make it into a bun and wear a shawl?"
"Do whatever you want!"
Zi Yan smiled and took a comb to comb Li Man'er's hair. Her young lady's hair was thick and black. She could easily put it up into a bun and tie it with a Xiaoyao scarf. It was guaranteed to last the whole day.
Loosely and you're done.
Li Man'er looked at the mirror for a moment and said: "This man's hair style is convenient, just do it casually. It is much more troublesome to comb your daughter's hair, such as double bun, flying fairy bun, peony bun, and falling horse bun.
Just hearing about it gives me a headache. Not to mention that it’s a hairpin and a hairpin that jingle all over the body, not to mention it’s a lot of cumbersomeness.”
Her words made several girls laugh.
"Girl, you are lucky. Born in a wealthy family, you naturally need gold and jade to show your status. In an ordinary family, you have to pay for food and clothing all year round. How can you have spare money for dressing up?" Zi Yan
Picking up a box of powder from the table, "Not to mention far away, just talking about this hibiscus powder, a box costs eight taels of silver. Who can afford it? This eight taels of silver is enough to feed and clothe a family of five for more than half a year.
Chew it. Even a poorer family can't spend eight taels all year round."
The other girls also nodded in agreement. They all came from bad backgrounds and were sold when their families could no longer survive. They didn't know what wealth was until they arrived at the Hou Mansion.
"What you said makes sense." Li Man'er picked up a black pen and handed it to Zi Yan, saying: "Change my eyebrows to look more like a man and be more heroic."
Zi Yan helped her draw two slightly thick eyebrows that looked heroic, and also carefully drew some hairs on her temples to make her look more like hers.
"Yes, this is more convenient." Li Man'er stood up with satisfaction and asked Nanny Wu to get the money. After finally going out on the street, she couldn't come back empty-handed!
Aunt Wu said she was fooling around, but she still thoughtfully opened the box, gave her a bag of money, and put another bag of copper coins in it and gave it to Zi Yan.
"There are five hundred big coins here. If the girl wants to buy some flowers and snacks, it will be enough. In addition, there are a total of ten taels of silver in this bag, and there are two fifty taels of silver notes. Remember to put them away.
."
Li Man'er said: "Mommy, this amount of money is not enough, please give me some more."
She had no idea about ancient silver, but instinctively felt that it was not enough.
"My girl, the Marquis's salary for a month is only so much. There is no shortage of anything in the house. No old man can find the things for you that are sold in the shop."
"Mommy, you are about to become a miser. I want this money to be useful."
Aunt Wu took the key and said, "What's the use? The old slave hasn't been in the house for half a year, so the money in the book is missing a lot, and there are also things in the warehouse that are missing."
Li Maner said in her heart that this has nothing to do with me. It was all done by the prodigal daughter of the original owner. "Mommy, I may not be able to use the money, but it is better to be prepared. Besides, I am really useful. We want to get the shop back."
, you have to play fishing law enforcement first."
"fishing?"
Grandma Wu was confused. What does this have to do with fishing?
Li Man'er only took Zi Yan to the street. In order to prevent the young master from taking the girl to the street, she also specially asked Zi Yan to get a set of men's clothes to wear.
Zi Yan didn't have men's clothes of her own, and she didn't want to wear the ones worn by servants in the mansion. She had no choice but to go to Butler Zhao and get a new set.
Butler Zhao was particularly easy to talk to, and he was sent here without saying a word. Now that Li Man'er's status in the mansion has increased, the status of the maid will naturally follow suit.
The master and the servant left the house in men's clothes, and then Guo received the news.
"How many people did the eldest girl bring?"
"I only brought one, it looks like purple smoke." Xunfang only said: "Madam, the big girl is not like before, please think twice."
Mrs. Guo was thoughtful and clenched the handkerchief in her hand. She hated Li Man'er to the core and wished she could strangle her to death right away in order to relieve the hatred in her heart.
But Xunfang is right, Li Maner is not like before, and she is difficult to deal with.
From the incident in Xiaowangzhuang alone, we can see that Li Man'er no longer wants to hide it, she has shown her trump card and is ready to confront her head-on. If she is left alone, there will be endless troubles, but it is not a good time to take action now
The emperor had the opportunity to kill Li Man'er openly, and it was difficult for her to clear up the relationship, so she could only endure it a little longer.
"Send someone to follow them to see where they went, what they did, and who they met." Guo gritted her teeth and said, "Keep an eye on them."
"Yes, Madam, don't worry, I will take care of it immediately." Xunfang relaxed slightly, turned around and left the house.
Mrs. Guo looked at the bonsai on the window sill in a daze, and couldn't help but think of what Li Man'er said that day. The uneasiness in her heart gradually expanded, and she once again thought of eradicating the weeds.
As long as Li Man'er doesn't die, she will rarely have peace in her life. Instead of torturing each other, it's better to send her down to see her mother as soon as possible!
Guo smiled and lowered her eyelids to hide the madness in her eyes.
