Chapter 352
"What a beautiful bracelet." Looking at the red jade bracelet, Wang Ru couldn't help sighing, but her heart became more and more puzzled. This old lady Lu treated Li Meier too differently. Such a good bracelet All were given to her.

Seeing that there were already many eyes looking towards them, Li Meier hastily rolled up her sleeves to cover the bracelet. She knew the truth about the crime of pregnant Bi. Given her such an expensive meeting gift, there must be a lot of gossip.

"Let's get in the car quickly, we can talk on the way if we have anything to say." Wang Ru didn't want to stay here for long, so she dragged Li Meier into her own carriage.

On the way, Li Mei'er roughly talked about the process of meeting Mrs. Lu, but she only briefly mentioned Mrs. Zhen's affairs, and only said that Mrs. Lu was an old acquaintance with the elders of her family, so she took such care of her.

After Wang Ru finished listening, she couldn't help sighing, "It's such a coincidence, it's also your fate, now you have the blue eyes of Mrs. Lu, and those who look down on people with dog eyes will never be so good in the future." Dare to look down on you again." When Wang Ru said this, her tone was a little envious, obviously she was also very envious of Li Meier's luck.

Li Meier didn't think it was such a good thing, she sighed and said: "I don't plan to continue to participate in the poetry meeting in the future, it's a conspiracy, my brain hurts, I might as well study new dishes at home if I have the time."

"Don't, you just won the favor of the old lady of the Lu family. How can you say that if you don't participate, you won't participate. I will have to rely on you in the future." Wang Ru became anxious when she heard this, and quickly persuaded Li Meier.

"I really don't like dealing with those people. They talk in a twist and turn, and step on the highs and lows. My family is a small family, and my father is not an official in this state capital. I really don't need to look at those young ladies. face." Li Meier spread her hands and said truthfully.

Wang Ru thinks about it too. Her situation is different from Li Meier's. His family reckons that they will live in the state capital in the future, but the Li family only moved to the state capital because Li Yan wanted to study. Those who go to the capital, even if they fail the exam, they will go back to their hometown, and I am afraid they will not stay in the capital.

"But if you are liked by the old lady of the Lu family, it would be good if your father goes to the capital in the future to help him more in the officialdom." Wang Ru said unwillingly.

Li Meier didn't think so far, and said with a smile: "My father is not such an ambitious person. Even if he passed the Jinshi examination, at most he would be sent to other places to be a small official. He never thought of staying in the capital. After all, it's not easy to live in a large university, and I'm afraid it's not easy for our family to gain a firm foothold there, and it would be more comfortable and leisurely to be a parent official."

Wang Ru saw that Li Meier was thinking so thoroughly, so she couldn't say anything more, she just sighed and said, "I really envy you, your father still has the ability to continue scientific research, unlike my father, he broke up early. This way, I just want to be promoted safely and steadily, and when my father can become the county magistrate, I can wake up laughing from my dreams."

Li Meier actually understands Wang Ru quite well. Her family is not much different from her own. They all came up from the bottom step by step. The Wang family has no background. Master Wang can rely on his own ability to find a master in the state government. The position is already very difficult, and Mrs. Wang and Wang Ru want to help their master make friends with Shangfeng, and only they know the bitterness of it.

"Actually, I don't like those people at all, but what can I do? I have to ask these young ladies for a lot of news and inside stories. I'm tired of being so humble and flattering." Wang Ru is rare. Now that he had someone to complain about, he told Li Meier all about it.

What can Li Meier say, she can only comfort her as much as possible, "It will get better gradually, the county magistrate has a term of office, and the county magistrate will also be promoted. As long as Uncle Wang does his best, he will always be promoted, and you will definitely survive .”

Wang Ru just gave a wry smile, shook her head and said, "My father's promotion is still far away, and what I'm most worried about right now is my marriage. My mother seems to intend to marry the Lin family, but you also saw it today. How difficult is Lin Lin, if I marry into the Lin family in the future, I don't know how I will live with such an annoying sister-in-law."

"Sister Ru, you're only twelve this year, and you're still three years away from Jiji. Auntie must have thought about this marriage too early." Li Meier was surprised when she heard this.

"My mother has always thought about it for a long time, and the Lin family happens to have a son-in-law who is about the same age as me. He is studying in Qingfeng Academy at the moment. Although he is not very outstanding in his studies, he is also quite satisfactory. It is no problem to be a scholar. Even if I don't pass the Juren examination in the future, it's okay for the head of the family to donate an official. My mother doesn't want me to marry out of the state capital, but also wants me to marry at a high school. After choosing and choosing, she still thinks that the Lin family is the most suitable. "When Wang Ru talked about her marriage, she didn't hesitate at all, as if talking about ordinary things, she talked with Li Meier.

"Don't think too much about it. Your mother is just thinking about it now. The Lin family doesn't know what it means, and you may not marry into his family." Li Meier didn't even think about it. , Wang Ru was really worried a little too early.

"I hope. Anyway, we are a daughter's family, and it is much harder than their men. If I am a man, I will study hard and take the imperial examination. I will be an official and a butcher in the future, so I don't want to work based on other people's faces." Wang Ru is also a strong thinker. The avant-garde woman, dissatisfied with her daughter's body, said angrily.

"Maybe women will be able to take the imperial examination to become an official in the future. Isn't there a precedent for women to be an official in the previous dynasty? The queen at that time even specially opened the imperial examination for women." Li Meier said very optimistically.

"You also said that you are an empress. I am afraid that only women will reuse our women. This empress is rare in thousands of years. We are not so lucky. We only hope that our descendants will be lucky enough to meet them once. "Wang Ru also said with a smile.

The two of them were talking, but they didn't know where the topic was going. They didn't stop talking until the carriage stopped at the door of Li's house first.

Li Meier bid farewell to Wang Ru and went home. It was hot in the afternoon, Mrs. Li was taking a nap in the house, and Mrs. Jiang was taking a nap with Brother Jian, so Li Meier went back to the room first, washed After taking a bath and changing clothes, I heard movement in the next room and knew that Mrs. Li had woken up, so I went to her place.

Mrs. Li just woke up and was drinking the almond tea brought by Nanny Lin. When she saw Li Meier coming in, she saw the bracelet on her wrist with her old eyes, and she suddenly brightened, and said anxiously: "What kind of baby is that on your wrist?" Hurry up and let me see it!"
