Duchess Chengen saw that Li Shu was not cowering like other people's concubines, but was quite generous, and praised it again, but did not take off the bracelet for her, only let people take some purses, and took one for her and several other girls (including Li Xin, who had already given the bracelet), which was mostly filled with gold and silver bills.

Obviously, although Duchess Chengen took a fancy to Li Shu's talent and wanted her to come over to participate in the poetry meeting, but with Li Shu's background, there was no way to marry her son, since Duchess Chengen didn't want to marry Li Shu as her daughter-in-law, she naturally wouldn't do that kind of thing that made her misunderstand.

Li Shu saw that Duchess Chengen didn't give him a bracelet, and couldn't help but have a dark look in his eyes, very depressed about his background, and secretly said that if he was a concubine, with his own fame, the person Duchess Chengen liked must be himself.

The second girl, Li Lan, saw that Li Xin and Li Shuju were appreciated by Duchess Chengen, while she and a few young girls, Duchess Chengen ignored them, and couldn't help pursing her lips and lowering her eyes.

Everyone knows that Duchess Chengen is here to see her daughter-in-law, those young girls, it is normal for Duchess Chengen to ignore them, but she ignores herself, and is even compared to Li Shu, which makes the second girl feel uncomfortable.

The second girl is the concubine of the second room, but the second room is a concubine, and it is very transparent in the house, so although she is a concubine, her status in the mansion is not high, and she is not like Li Shu who has the name of a talented woman, and it is normal for her not to be valued by the ladies of the family, but she is ignored like this every time, and she feels very uncomfortable.

The remaining two young girls, Li Siniang and Li Wuniang, are all girls who are out of the third room, and they were told by the third lady before they came, and they knew that they had nothing to do with themselves today, and they were happy to have a purse, so they were not like the second girl Li Lan, who was not happy because Duchess Chengen did not take care of herself.

Duchess Chengen saw each other, and she was satisfied, and she refused to say to Mrs. Li to stay for dinner, after all, who doesn't know what the situation of the Li family is, what delicious food can her family have, it is better to go back to her own house and eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, so Duchess Chengen waved her hand and left.

Mrs. Li couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when she saw that Duchess Chengen was gone, if the other party really stayed to eat, it would be bad, after all, if you want to treat her well, you must rectify a table of delicacies from the mountains and seas, how much does it cost, now that the house is stretched, she is unwilling to spend this money, so she is naturally relieved to see that Duchess Chengen is gone.

After sending off Duchess Chengen, Mrs. Li thought that Duchess Chengen was obviously interested in her daughter, and couldn't help but be happy, so she smiled unprecedentedly and took out a few strings of copper coins and sent them to the maid-in-law next to her to celebrate.

The economy in the house is tight, and in this kind of rewarding thing, except for Mrs. Li San's local tyrant, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li rarely give it, and finally got the reward, and everyone was a little happy in their hearts, so they had to say a few words of compliment to the eldest lady and said that Duchess Chengen must have taken a fancy to the eldest lady and the like, and Mrs. Li couldn't help but smile, and the atmosphere in the room was very lively for a while.

In this lively atmosphere, Li Xin secretly glanced at the hibiscus and did not speak.

Although I hadn't seen this girl called hibiscus by my mother's side in the previous life (the hibiscus in the previous life passed away as soon as she entered the house, Li Xin naturally hadn't heard of it), this life suddenly existed, which made Li Xin very vigilant, afraid that the other party would be the same as her, and she didn't have any background, but after she tried it, she found that the other party was not reborn, but she was reborn, and the surroundings changed, but she usually paid more attention to her eyes, wanting to see if there was anything wrong.

However, this hibiscus looks ordinary, but she is just a subordinate, and her identity is very different from her, even if there is a moth, she can't toss any flowers if she wants to.

Mrs. Li rewarded the maid-in-law beside her, so she ordered them to go down, obviously having something to say to her daughter alone.

can be idle, Hibiscus is naturally happy, so he left with Lilac and others.

The old ladies in the house were surrounded by four first-class rings, eight second-class rings, and twelve third-class rings, waiting in turn, while the ladies were surrounded by two first-class rings, four second-class rings, and six third-class rings, and beside the young ladies were two second-class rings and four third-class rings—twice as many as in the past.

If you feel that it is not enough, you can add it yourself, for example, Uncle Li is the eldest grandson of the earl's mansion, and the eldest lady uses her own private room to add a few more people to him.

Since it is a round of waiting, Mu Hibiscus naturally does not have to follow Mrs. Li 24 hours a day, she and Lilac a few second-class maid rings, are taking turns to rest, every four hours to change a batch, she and Lilac are in a team, this is the time to change a batch in four hours, so Mu Hibiscus took the string of money rewarded by the eldest lady, went back to the courtyard where she lived, and was ready to rest after lunch, and she had to be on duty at night. Due to the small number of people, there are only four people, and four hours to change a batch, which is equivalent to her working 16 hours a day, what, think the time is too long? There is no rest day? This is not modern, but there is no labor law, it is good to work only 16 hours a day, and some places have to be on call at any time, and she can only sleep secretly!

As a second-class maid, she doesn't have a separate room, she shares a room with Lilac, but Lilac hasn't come back at this time, and she doesn't know where she is crazy, so Mu Hibiscus took her lunch back to her residence, ate three or two bites, and took out the string of money that the eldest lady rewarded just now, and then took out the money accumulated in the space, counted, there are already several strings, and it is time to exchange it for silver and save it, although copper coins are the daily currency of ordinary people, but as long as they are enough, they are still exchanged for silver, and then the silver is exchanged for gold to maintain its value, like what she saved before, she has exchanged it for three gold ingots, just because the rest of these are not enough for the money of a gold ingot, so I didn't exchange it.

Today, I got two tips in a row, and I was really lucky, but this kind of luck is not something that can be had every day, especially the eldest lady, who will be rewarded like today, which is very rare.

In fact, the most frequent reward in the house is not the eldest lady, but the third lady, because the third lady was born in a business, is a local tyrant, at the beginning of the hibiscus also thought about mixing with the third lady as a maid ring, so that it can also be the same as the third lady around the ring, often get rewarded, but later see that the third lady has no power, often slaughtered by the people in the house as a fat sheep, too aggrieved, I feel that with such an aggrieved master, I am afraid that my own subordinate will also follow the grievances, that is too uncomfortable, so I saw the eldest lady in power, I feel that it is better to follow the rich than to follow the powerful, although the money is less, but at least not wronged, so I tried to mix with Mrs. Li。

Sure enough, she did the right thing, mixed with Mrs. Li's side, even if she was a third-class girl ring back then, others looked up to her and didn't dare to do anything to her, but now that she has become a second-class girl, no one dares to do anything to her, not only does she dare not do anything to her, but also someone often sends some food and drink to her filial piety.

She also knows why Mrs. Li is so happy today, because as one of Mrs. Li's henchmen, she is very clear about what Mrs. Li and Li Xin's mother and daughter are planning.

The eldest lady Li Xin's idea is simpler, she only needs to marry a good family and be satisfied.

But Mrs. Li is different.

She also hopes that her daughter will marry a good family, but she not only wants to see her daughter happy, but more importantly, she wants to bring benefits to her son in the future through this family business.

The Earl's Mansion has decayed, and her son has no interest, and she wants to revitalize the Earl's Mansion and let her son enjoy the glory and wealth in the future, so she expects her daughter to marry a good family and bring her mother's family in the future - in her heart, the son is obviously more important than the daughter, but this is not unusual, in this patriarchal place, many people have the idea that the daughter should serve the son.

So today, Duchess Chengen is satisfied with Li Xin, and when she thinks that her daughter can marry into the Queen Mother's family in the future, it will be of great help to her family, obviously making her goal almost achieved, so how can she not be happy?

But Mu Hibiscus said, this mansion is broken from the root, Mrs. Li used to fight cocks and lackeys, go to Ma Zhangtai, and now Master Li, Uncle Li and other male owners of the next generation and the next generation of the Li Mansion are like this, and the men in the entire mansion are so unlearned, they are counting on women to marry to save the down-and-out crisis, but there are a bunch of pig teammates dragging their feet, and those women can't resist no matter how capable they are.

Hibiscus thought while looking at the mirror - there is a glass mirror in this world, I don't know if it was invented by the natives themselves or if there were traversers who have come, although it is a little expensive, but in order to see clearly, Hibiscus gritted his teeth and bought one, although the bronze mirror is cheap, but it is too inconvenient to see the makeup.

The woman's bangs in the mirror cover her forehead deeply, her face is ordinary, of course, she is not ugly, as a second-class girl ring next to the housewife, what does it look like to be too ugly, but although it is not ugly, it is at most delicate, Hibiscus took water and wiped the handkerchief and began to clean her face, and after the clean, the face in the mirror became strangely beautiful.
