Li Min left the Li family early in the morning without greeting Mrs. Li, and was in a hurry as if he had come.

This makes the girls who have prepared more gifts a little regretful.

Although Old Madam Li's face was not as scary as yesterday's anger, it was not very good, because Li Min didn't eat breakfast? Did you just meet in a hurry and didn't say a few words?

Certainly not for this reason.

The older servant woman stepped forward and whispered: "As long as he has a heart, it doesn't matter whether these gifts are given now or not, Li Min is so smart and listens to the old lady, so he naturally knows that the old lady will not treat him badly." ”

Old Madam Li's face did not improve.

"Could it be that the old lady can't trust Li Min?" The servant asked.

Old Madam Li was silent for a moment: "It's not that I can't trust him, and it doesn't matter if I give a gift or not, the biggest question now is whether Li Min can do this." ”

The servant woman understood: "Li Min should be able to, he is in Jiannan Dao..."

Old Madam Li didn't say half of the words that annoyed the servant woman: "Yes, we actually don't know what Li Min's status is in Jiannan Dao. ”

Li Min is the only contact between Mrs. Li and the Li family and Jiannan Province, he is responsible for sending money, bringing all kinds of letters back, and being responsible for fulfilling filial piety in front of Mrs. Li's knees for Li Feng'an.

Old Madam Li is more familiar and close to Li Min than Li Feng'an, and whatever Old Madam Li has to convey to Jiannan Dao through Li Min.

Before Li Feng'an passed away, except for Li Min, Mrs. Li almost never saw a few servants of Jiannan Dao, at most, when Li Feng'an returned from the New Year's Festival, the subordinates who were accompanied by the housekeeper and steward cheered and kowtowed to receive her reward, and there was almost no speech to speak, let alone familiarity.

After Li Feng'an passed away, Mrs. Li learned the names of the housekeepers one after another from the mouths of her three sons, and the division of labor status sounded more powerful than the other, and Li Min was not among them.

"But anything we told Li Min before, he could do it." The servant woman said, "And the eldest lord asked him to be in charge of you and the family's money, he must be deeply trusted, and his status will not be low." ”

Old Madam Li nodded, this guess is also correct.

The servant woman observed her face and saw that she had eased up a lot, so she also showed a shallow smile: "What's more, no matter who he is, you are an old lady and the mother of the eldest master." ”

If it was before, even the day before yesterday, Mrs. Li would show a smile when she heard this, and she continued to eat and enjoy the pleasure of her children and grandchildren around her knees, but when she thought that her daughter-in-law had read the account books that originally belonged to her for a night, she couldn't laugh.

Is it not the same as before? She's dead, she's not dead.

"Don't say whether Li Min has status or not, he may not be reliable now." She said, her brows furrowed, "We also have to keep an eye on Jiannan Dao." ”

"The third master is over there." The servant woman said, "I want to send a message to the third master." ”

Old Madam Li shook her head: "Don't disturb the third master for the time being." ”

What if the third master also collects the hardship fee, and calculates her money with the second child? After this sudden blow, Mrs. Li felt that she had to let them know that their wings were stiff, and that her mother was not blind and deaf and could be fooled at will.

"Let's see who's following the third master over there." Old Madam Li said, "Let him inquire about Jiannan Dao, which steward will be effective." ”

The servant nodded, then straightened up.

Old Madam Li was taken aback, frowning unhappily, she was trying her best to restrain herself now, and her mood was not very good.

"Old lady, we think too much." The servant woman said, "Li Min is unreliable in this matter, and we have reliable people in our family." ”

Home? Mrs. Li looked at the servant woman.

"Miss." The servant woman stretched out her hand and pointed in one direction.

More than reliable.

As long as the eldest lady says a word, the matter is settled.

Li Feng'an is gone, Miss Li is half of Jiannan Dao, and now the other half of Li Mingyu is still young to listen to her sister.

Old Madam Li exhaled the breath that had accumulated in her heart for a long time, yes, Xian'er is still at home.

"Grandmother."

There was a shout outside the door, and Li Mingqi came in with a sweet smile.

She came at the right time, yesterday Li Min had resolved her grandmother's anger, here eating, drinking, laughing can be heard outside the hospital, today Li Min has left, grandmother's joy is not gone, loneliness just arises, she came to send charcoal in the snow.

Old Madam Li saw her at a glance: "You came just in time, did you return the beads to your sister?" ”

Li Mingqi stood at the door, his hand still lifting the curtain, and he didn't hear clearly: "Ah? ”

Beads? She was about to do this, and when the coaxing Mrs. Li was happy, she would keep the bead string for a few more days, or let Li Minglou give it to her.

Old Madam Li had already seen the string of beads in front of her, and the anger that had been brewing since the day before yesterday and had not been relieved suddenly poured out.

"Why are you so unruly, you haven't sent it to your sister yet! Outrageous. She shouted angrily, "Now, immediately, immediately, go immediately, thank your sister, apologize to your sister." ”

Li Mingqi had one foot in the door and one foot outside the door, like a flash of thunder splitting the sunny sky, and the heavy rain poured down.

What's wrong?

Kumquat opened the door and looked at the people standing outside the door, Gu's mother's smiling face was more sincere and enthusiastic than the previous day.

"I borrowed something from the eldest lady, and the old lady asked us to send it." Her voice was soft and apologetic, "It's been a few days late." ”

At that time, Gu's mother said that it would be returned in three days, but she didn't care about it, and Kumquat didn't believe that it would be returned as scheduled.

"I stayed at my grandmother's house for a few more days and came back late." Li Mingqi lowered his head and stepped forward and held the jewelry box in person, "I didn't send a letter to my sister to say it, it was my fault." ”

Kumquat looked at her, and then at Gu's mother: "Our young lady is not at home." ”

Li Minglou hasn't been out for several days, so he went out today? Is it intentional? This thought only dared to flash by Mother Gu, and she didn't dare to show the slightest hint, even if it was deliberate, so what?

"Just wait." She didn't give up, and her smile became more cordial, "The old lady picked out a few more pieces of jewelry for the eldest lady, and instructed us to hand them over to the eldest lady." ”

Li Mingqi lowered his head without the slightest joy and turned to leave: "I brought a gift back for the eldest lady." ”

There were two girls behind her holding the burden, which was much more than what was originally going to be given to Li Minglou.

Li Minglou's kumquat will not let others take it away at will, but she can accept the things sent by others at will.

"I don't know when Miss will come back, let's put things down first, and I'll ask for instructions when Miss comes back." Kumquat raised his hand and pointed to the sky, "It's too sunny today." ”

When the time comes, the young lady will accept it when she says she will accept it, and if she says she will not accept it, she will take someone to send it back.

She wasn't embarrassed.

She didn't want Miss to be surrounded by them on the spot, and she had to accept it if she didn't accept it.

Gu's mother refused to leave: "No sun, no sun, the eldest lady is more tired when she goes out, what is it for me to stand here for a while." ”

Li Mingqi's head hung lower, and the skin exposed behind his neck was hot and painful: "I want to apologize to my sister personally." ”

Li Minglou will not see anyone again when he enters the house, how can they explain when they go back, Mrs. Li's anger is more terrifying than the sun.

Entering the yard kumquat can drive people, standing outside the yard kumquat really has no way, she wanted to laugh and was a little surprised, and then looked at the servant women and girls who gradually surrounded her, as well as the snooping in the distance.

Same day, only this time things are completely different.

That day, Li Minglou said that I will solve it, and there was no movement, she thought that she was starting to think of a way, but she didn't expect that sentence to mean that the matter was solved.

The eldest lady is still the eldest lady, and as before, the kumquat body stretches easily and casually in the sun.

It's just that Gu's mother and Li Mingqi waited in the sun here for a long time, but Li Minglou was stopped by others when he entered the door.

is not a housekeeper, nor is it a sister of the same age, the elder Zuo personally waited in front of the second gate.
