Mother Zhao was surprised by the huge contrast between Mengbao's attitude before and after, but Mengbao didn't want to explain, so she didn't ask more, in short, it was good that Miss was willing to do it.

She thinks that there are two if there is one, and the young lady can help during the preparation of the lotus banquet now, and she will be able to hold a lotus banquet by herself in the future, and she will be able to gain a firm foothold among the ladies of the various mansions, and her position in the inner house of the Dingnan Hou Mansion will be the most important thing.

Mengbao was thinking about the Li family.

The Li family has always been jealous of her status as a young lady, afraid that she will rob her of the power of being the housewife, so she will definitely not kindly want to give her a chance to express herself.

Then there are only two possibilities for her to ask her to help, take the opportunity to embarrass or find someone to take responsibility.

The lotus banquet is a matter of importance, and the former is unlikely, and with the identity and position of the Li family, he should not hope that there will be any problems at the banquet.

Then it's the latter, she was afraid that there would be problems at the banquet, so she pulled herself into the water.

In this way, you can have both one more free labor and one more person who can take responsibility, killing two birds with one stone.

Mengbao has seen this kind of thing a lot in the professional life of modern society, and he understands it in an instant.

However, the Li family gave her an excellent opportunity, if she made any mistakes at the lotus banquet, she would inevitably leave a bad impression among the ladies of the mansions, and it would also leave a bad impression in the old lady's heart, and it would also cause a lot of trouble for the Li family.

Even if the Li family can't divorce her because she didn't hold a banquet, she will definitely be more resentful of her in her heart, plus the old lady is also dissatisfied with her, maybe when she turns around and makes a mistake again, they will take the opportunity to ask Shen Nanzhu to divorce his wife, then everyone will be happy, she almost wants to rush to Yongzhuyuan to say thank you to the Li family!

Because of the preparation of the lotus banquet, Mengbao was completely busy in the Dingnan Hou Mansion.

The things that Li handed over to her were very cumbersome, and all aspects of the hammer in the east and the mallet in the west were involved.

It's just that there is not much involved, although she is busy with her feet and does not touch the ground, but on the bright side, she doesn't seem to have done anything.

It's because she has to deal with people all over the house because of a lot of things, and she, the young lady who used to barely leave the house, finally became familiar in front of people, and there has never been a thing where anyone sees her and doesn't know what to call it.

Mengbao treats people kindly, and she does things neatly, and if someone occasionally does something unfavorable or makes a small mistake, she generally won't punish her, and she can correct it in time.

Because of this, the people had a good impression of her, and they all smiled and said hello to the young lady when they saw her.

Mengbao has a good relationship with his subordinates, which is not a big deal, but the Li family of Yongzhuyuan is a little anxious when he hears about it.

Although this lotus banquet is a banquet for guests outside the house, it is those who can really be moved by her at any time in the house!

If Mengbao buys people's hearts at this moment, I am afraid that she, the housewife, will be pressed by Mengbao, the young lady, in the house before she has time to establish an image in front of outsiders! That's not a good thing!

She frowned and thought about it, then turned her head and whispered a few words to Mother Liu beside her.

Mother Liu was slightly surprised: "Madam, this lotus banquet is a big deal, if it is ......"

"Don't worry about doing what I say! I'm in my own hands! I'll come forward to solve it when something goes wrong with her, what big deal can it be! ”

Liu's mother was helpless, whispered a promise, and turned around and ordered.

Mengbao was accompanied by Zhao's mother as usual this day, and checked the items that he needed to use at the lotus banquet that he had told his subordinates to buy the day before.

The outer courtyard is used in the outer courtyard, the kitchen is used in the inner courtyard, and the garden is used in a variety of ways, which are very messy.

Fortunately, the list is clear, just check them one by one.

Halfway through the check, Li Wanyu, who hadn't seen her for a long time, walked over with a smile.

"Sister-in-law, I heard that you are here to help, so I will come over to see if there is any place where I can be used."

Mengbao looked at the young woman who was already dressed as a woman and walked towards him with a smile, and took her hand affectionately, and suddenly felt a chill.

The two of them are not close, and Li Wanyu is from the Li family, so she doesn't believe that she will really help her.

"It's just a little thing, where you need to bother your younger siblings."

After Meng Bao finished speaking, he commanded a servant woman to check the lotus pattern porcelain vases in the box one by one, and quietly pulled out his hand.

Li Wanyu's face was slightly stiff, but she tried her best to hide it and came over again, reached out and took the list in her hand, and said while looking at it: "Hey, it's just to check some objects, my sister can also do these things, my sister-in-law has been busy for so many days, I might as well go and rest, and leave the rest to my sister." ”

After speaking, regardless of whether Meng Baotong agreed or not, he instructed the servant woman to check the next object.

The servants and maids in the courtyard, you look at me, I look at you, some don't know what to do.

They are used to doing things under the command of the young lady these days, but they don't know what this second young grandmother who suddenly appeared is here to do.

Li Wanyu saw that no one answered her, and her face suddenly became even more ugly.

Before she entered the door, her aunt told her that the young lady of Dingnanhou Mansion was a sick man, and it was like there was no such person in the mansion.

So when she marries in, they can follow her to learn housekeeping, and then their aunts and nephews will master the middle feed in this house, and they have the final say in the inner house.

But who knows, the reality is not like this at all!

The young lady, though a little sick at first, was now fully recovered.

Although the aunt intends to let herself help manage the house, the eldest daughter-in-law of the young lady is fine, and there is no reason to let her second daughter-in-law help manage the house.

Originally, the imaginary days of being a housewife had ended before they began, and Li Wanyu was unwilling in her heart, but there was no way at all.

And this lotus banquet is different, because the banquet is of great significance, and even the two wives of the second and third rooms came to help, so it is reasonable for me, the second daughter-in-law of the long house, to come forward to help.

If things are done well this time, even if she can't help take care of the middle feed in the future, she can get face in front of the wives and wives of various families, which is something she couldn't think of when she was a boudoir lady in her mother's house before.

As the head of the house, it is not good for my aunt to pass the young lady and directly share the matter with her, but this does not mean that she can't help in the name of helping.

She can't see that her sister-in-law is busy, and she can help one or two, which can not only get a virtuous reputation but also show her face at the lotus banquet, which is a good thing to kill two birds with one stone!

That's why she came over a little shamelessly and tried to take some work to do.

Mengbao saw Li Wanyu standing there with a list with an embarrassed face, looked at her quietly, and then smiled slightly: "Then it's hard brother and sister, it just so happens that I have other things to do." ”

The subordinates breathed a sigh of relief, glad that they did not have to make trouble between the power struggle between the two masters.

Li Wanyu also breathed a sigh of relief, and said in her heart that this young lady is really a good person, and she has no temper at all.

But his face did not show Xiàn, and said with a smile, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, go here." ”

Mengbao left the yard with the help of Zhao's mother and walked back along the tree-lined path.

Zhao's mother was a little unhappy on her face: "These two young grandmothers are a little unlucky." ”

Meng Bao looked at her with a smile: "Then why didn't Mother Zhao stop her just now and didn't let her rob me of my work?" ”

Mother Zhao smiled and wiped the sweat on her forehead: "It's not that you're really tired, it's better to think that someone is willing to rush up to carry it." ”

"That's right, I'm busy with these things, so she rushed to help, this kind of good thing that someone will send a pillow when she dozes off, what are we not happy about."

"You're getting smarter!"

Mother Zhao laughed at her.

Also, anyway, Miss is already very proficient in those things, and there is no need to practice at all.

Since the second young grandmother is willing to pick up this mess of troubles, then give it to her, and the young lady has a lot of other things to do.

In the distance, a corner of cyan clothes disappeared, and a nimble figure walked quickly towards Yongzhuyuan.

"She didn't respond?"

"No, come out smiling."

"How could it be...... Knowing that I deliberately embarrassed her, she still doesn't care? ”

"Perhaps...... The young lady didn't think it was intentionally embarrassing. ”

Li Shi suddenly, yes, that girl is only the first time to participate in the lotus banquet, and there are more things she doesn't understand than her, and it's normal that she can't notice it.

"Madame, ...... Do you need to ...... it?"

"No, no," Li waved his hand, "Go down." ”

"Yes." The steward of the green shirt retreated respectfully.

There was a smile on Li's lips, it is not a big deal to be left and right, since this is the case, then it will be wrong, anyway, it will not be her who will make a fool of herself at that time.

She smiled and picked up the tea cup at hand and took a sip, only to feel comfortable, and the depression since this period seemed to be swept away.

Mengbao returned to Jingxin Garden after being busy for most of the day, and saw an uninvited guest in the room, Shen Yurong.

Shen Yurong's face was not very good, she was sitting in the room drinking tea, and when she saw her come in, she knocked the teacup on the table, and said: "Sister-in-law, you girl is so rude, I just want to go to the inner room to see if the clothes and jewelry on your lotus banquet are ready, but she won't let me in!" ”

The red note she pointed to was silent, and she didn't defend herself, but her back was straight, and she didn't have the slightest intention of admitting her mistake.

Although Mengbao doesn't want to cause trouble, he won't stand up and say something when he sees the people around him being accused for no reason.

She smiled and stepped forward: "I told her not to let outsiders enter without permission, don't care." ”

In fact, where is the need for Mengbao's orders, no one will let people enter their inner room at will, not to mention that ordinary people will not make such rude requests when the master is away.

It's obviously her Shen Yurong who is rude, but she still has to accuse her maid of not being rude, it's really funny!
