Mingzhu smiled and said: "That's not necessarily, at present, it seems that as long as the side concubine is smart enough, when I enter the mansion and operate it a little, I believe she knows how to choose." ”

"I'm afraid that if I raise my appetite, my heart will not be enough to swallow the elephant." Zhou Li snorted coldly, he didn't like the things in the house very much, but he couldn't completely stay out of it.

Mingzhu smiled confidently, "As long as we do well enough, we are not afraid of the enemy being strong, my father said well, as long as you are strong enough, your father's followers will always be loyal to you, otherwise you will be surpassed by others, and you will be trampled under your feet and humiliated, which is inevitable." ”

Zhou Li tilted his head and thought about it, "You're right, let's go, daughter-in-law, I'll take you out for a walkover, there's a new juggler, it's very interesting, you haven't seen it yet, I'll take you to play." "Suddenly I was interested, and I had to take her out to play.

Mingzhu knows that he is reluctant to talk about family affairs, which will put him in a passive position, and there will be a feeling that this child is very pitiful, which is a humiliation for a boy who is about to become an adult, he is no longer willing to accept the sympathy of others, and prefers everyone to review him, and look at him with the requirements of adults, even if it is distrustful of scrutiny, it is better than sympathy, this is a man's bottom line.

"Okay, I want to eat duck in sauce, you can take me to eat it." Mingzhu remembered that famous restaurant, this dish is a secret recipe passed down from ancestors, and it is very delicious.

"What's the matter, I'll take you to eat, and bring a few more back to them by the way." Zhou Li is talking about the brothers and sisters of the Shangguan family, they and Zhou Li are also very good, they are never polite, they ask for anything and open their mouths directly, and they don't see the outside. Zhou Li also likes this taste, the people of the Shangguan family are very frank and sincere, so that he feels at home, can relax and rest.

"Okay, I'll go talk to my grandmother and mother." Mingzhu ran away happily.

"Change into beautiful clothes, I'll show you jewelry, a new batch of good goods, I'll let people keep it for you to pick first." Zhou Li shouted at her back.

"Got it." Mingzhu waved her hand and happily ran to the main room.

"Grandmother, mother, and brother Li took me to buy jewelry, and I want to eat duck with sauce and watch juggling." Mingzhu seemed to blow into the house with a gust of wind.

Yongtai smiled angrily, "How old are the children, and they don't say that they help the family take care of things, they will all be pushed to your sister." ”

Mingzhu leaned over and tugged on Yongtai's sleeve and coquettishly, "Mother, have I been back, besides, Jia Zhen and Mingya are also old, and it's time to learn." Jiatong also needs to get in touch to know what's going on, not to mention that Jiazhen is not far from getting married, and the Guo family is like that, how can it be good if you don't have more experience. ”

"You have a lot of reasons. Go if you want, come back early, and bring Sun Jin and Mama Zhao Hongrui with you. Yongtai did not forget to tell him, once or twice there is always a desire to assassinate Mingzhu, Yongtai always mentions the chord in his heart and can't let go.

"I know, Brother Li protects me, what is he afraid of." Mingzhu happily ran away.

"Mingzhu is about to get married, how did you prepare the dowry?" The old lady asked.

"I bought two big Zhuangzi a few days ago, the land is very good, one for Jiazhen and one for Mingzhu, in addition, I went to Jiangnan to buy some good fabrics and jewelry, which is also a pressure makeup."

"Well, don't worry, antiques, I still have some good things here, and I've sorted them out, except for the one for Jiazhen, the rest will be given to Mingzhu." The old lady smiled and bowed her head.

"Or do you have a preference for the pearl and get used to it." Yongtai said with a smile, but there was a doting look in his eyes.

"By the way, the aromatherapy in the palace is given to Mingzhu, so we don't want it. I thought about it, the emperor knows, we had better get too much, let's also earn some, and it is better to cooperate with Zhou Li in the medicinal materials business, then the Northwest Trade Road is our family and the emperor allows, so don't let the emperor look at it. "The old lady has her own considerations.

"Then what does the family say, is it okay to give Mingzhu?" Of course, Yongtai hopes that the more money her daughter has, the better, but she also has to worry about the idea between the concubines.

"I'll tell them. Let's just send aromatherapy herbs to the palace, and the recipe will come back with a lot of benefits, don't be too greedy. The old lady reminded.

"Cheng, daughter-in-law listens to you." Yongtai is still a little worried.

"Don't worry too much, it's a good choice for Mingzhu, she is the royal daughter-in-law when she marries, that is her own person, the emperor will be able to tolerate her, and he will not interfere too much, but it is not a good thing for our family to have more money, and it is not good for the clansmen.

"Yes." Yongtai listened carefully to the old lady's teachings, always put interests in the right proportion, and did not let himself and his people have too much greed.

Mingzhu changed into a crimson skirt, dressed up bright and noble, and happily went to play on the street with Zhou Li.

"Well, this dress is beautiful, why haven't I seen you wear it?" When Zhou Li saw the pearl, his eyes lit up.

"Jiaxuan made me new clothes, do they look good?" Mingzhu happily spun around in front of him, proudly showing off.

"It's okay, the style is very novel, worthy of you." Zhou Li also smiled and nodded, and took her hand and walked towards the carriage.

The two went to the street, Zhou Li thought that Mingzhu didn't eat much at noon, so he took her to eat the sauce duck she was worried about first, and by the way, he bought more things so that she could have a snack to talk about when she went back.

"Eat slowly, don't choke." Zhou Li diligently handed her a handkerchief to wipe her hands, and handed her tea for fear that she would be thirsty.

"Cousin, why are you here, what a coincidence." A beautiful girl walked in with a young master who looked five points alike.

"Cousin, why are you free today, this is ......." The young man was as handsome as jade, and when he saw Zhou Li, he naturally came over to say hello.

"This is my fiancée Shangguan Mingzhu, Mingzhu is my maternal grandfather's family, the eldest son of my second uncle, my cousin and my cousin are like smoke." Zhou Li introduced them to two brothers and sisters.

"Hello two." Mingzhu just greeted with a smile, but she was not enthusiastic.

"So you're just a bad woman who won't let my cousin come to see me." If you don't want to open your mouth, you will come to a sentence.

"Like smoke, what nonsense are you talking about?" The boy was startled and quickly covered his sister's mouth.

Mingzhu looked at her for a long time, with a sarcastic smile on her face, "I am Zhou Li's fiancée, and I was given marriage by holy decree, what is wrong with me saying that I will not let him contact a woman who only wants to do anything?" Some women are so undignified that they don't even want the face of their daughter's family, so naturally I don't need to be polite, what do you say, Sister Yan? ”

"You ......." The little face is red like smoke, why is this woman arrogant, I grew up with my cousin, what kind of thing are you? (To be continued.) )
