Chapter 370 Mrs. Li enters the Grand View Garden

Because she was going to a big family like the Lu family, Jiang hired a carriage specially. Li Meier helped Mrs. Li get into the carriage, and then raised her opinion with Jiang, "Mother, let's buy a carriage for our family, so that we can travel on weekdays." It’s convenient.” She actually had this idea a long time ago, and it’s not like her family can’t afford the money now.

Mrs. Jiang was also a little moved, and was about to respond, but seeing her mother-in-law's face, the words changed again, "We don't have much time to go out, and the ox cart is enough. Nothing, it's not easy to raise."

Mrs. Li nodded in agreement when she heard the words, "That's right, the ox cart is so good, it's stable and comfortable, and it's not as bumpy as a horse cart. This cow is also easy to feed, and it can still eat meat after it dies."

Li Meier didn't think the ox cart was good, so she immediately complained: "The ox cart is so slow, it's much faster than walking on two legs, and it's also smelly. If you think horses are expensive, grandma, why don't you buy a mule to pull the cart?" Well, much faster than that cow."

Mrs. Li thinks about the price of the mule, and thinks it is acceptable, but she has never been the kind of elder who depends on the child, and immediately said with a straight face: "Young girl spends money all day long. If you want to take a mule cart, Just buy it with your own money, I’m fine with a bullock cart.”

Li Meier is also making money now, she turned her mouth, and said very forcefully: "I will do it!" Then she looked at Mrs. Jiang, "Mother, let Ding Yi choose a mule, how much will it cost? , Just ask me to pay the bill."

"Okay! I really need you to pay for it." Jiang said jokingly, feeling overjoyed, her daughter is young, but she has the temperament of a local rich man.

The three of them made jokes all the way, and arrived at Lu's residence very happily.

Mrs. Li got out of the carriage, looked at the big house in Lu's house that occupied nearly half of the street, and couldn't help sighing: "This big family is different. Look at this big house. You might get lost if you walk in it." Yo."

Li Meier covered her mouth and smiled, "Grandmother, there are many maidservants in the house, you can meet one within a few steps, even if you want to get lost, you won't be lost."

Mrs. Li smashed her mouth, and said again: "I think our three-entry house is enough to live in. The house is too big and unpopular, and there are so many servants in the house, so there are many disputes."

Mrs. Li has never dealt with those big families, and she doesn't understand why they have to raise so many servants. She always thinks that a maidservant with a dozen or so servants is the best. How can there be such a thing? There are many things to do, and it is not a waste of money to support so many people.

Mrs. Jiang went to the concierge to hand over the post, and a special woman led them in. Perhaps it was because Mrs. Lu specially posted the post, so the woman who led the way was very polite, and introduced them to them while leading the way. The view of the house.

Mrs. Li seemed to have entered the Grand View Garden like Grandma Liu, looking here and there, but she just looked, didn't ask any questions, and didn't show much country bumpkin temperament.

Soon, a group of people were brought into Mrs. Lu's room. Mrs. Lu was a few years older than Mrs. Li. Seeing Mrs. Li wanted to salute, she came up and held her back, smiling affectionately, " It's the younger sister of the Li family, she told me about you when I was chatting with Meier last time, and I've been looking forward to seeing you."

The second Mrs. Lu answered immediately, "Isn't that right, the old lady still talked about the old lady of the Li family when she had dinner in the morning."

Mrs. Li was a little flattered, and quickly smiled, "I also heard my girl talk about you, old lady, and I know you are a kind person. When I saw you today, I really hit it off."

Everyone said a few friendly words to each other, and Mrs. Jiang also called on Mrs. Lu, Mrs. Lu and Mrs. Lu.

Li Meier also bowed to the two wives of the Lu family. The second wife of Lu had met several times. The first lady had heard about it but hadn't met her. When she saw her today, she couldn't help but look at her. Seeing her age At 35, she was born fair and elegant, dressed in brick red silk, and wore two or three pieces of white jade jewelry on her head.

Li Meier didn't dare to look too much, and compared Aunt Xi with this Mrs. Lu in her heart. In fact, Aunt Xi's appearance was not as good as this Mrs. Lu's, that is, she was younger than her, but Aunt Zhuang had a delicate temperament. , is very lovable, presumably men also like this one the most, no wonder it can win Uncle Lu's heart.

While Li Meier was thinking wildly, she felt unkind eyes on her, looked up, it was Lu Zhiwei, she just pretended not to see, and greeted the girls of the Lu family.

Although Lu Zhiwei didn't like her in his heart, but in front of Mrs. Lu, he didn't dare to be too presumptuous. He just snorted slightly, and Lu Zhiyu became much friendlier to Li Meier. He not only smiled at her, but also He helped her up himself.

Miss Lu Jiajiu, Lu Zhixin, was two years younger than Li Meier, so she bowed to Li Meier first, and then looked at her curiously.

The juniors here have just finished their meeting, and Mrs. Li has already chatted with Mrs. Lu. Mrs. Li has never been stage fright. No matter how noble the person opposite is, she can chat a few words. My son is counting some local products he brought from home.

"I brought some homemade iron broad beans, sauerkraut, and our family's jujube, which are all dried. Then you can cook jujube cake and jujube cake. They are all delicious." Don't forget to praise Li Meier, "The jujube cake made by my girl is the best. If I have a chance, I will try it for your old man. This jujube is not an ordinary jujube. The jujube tree in my family has been around for more than a hundred years. The whole Zhangshui There are no such good jujubes in the town, and when I went back to my hometown, I specially beat jujubes."

The old lady Lu listened patiently, and smiled, "You must try it."

Don't think it's the first time for Mrs. Li to come to Lu's house. She was a little nervous when she first entered Lu's mansion. It can be seen that Mrs. Lu is kind and busy talking, forgetting to be nervous for a while.

She is a very honest person, she likes old lady Lu's appearance, asked old lady Li how the harvest is, and praised Li Mei'er for being outstanding.

Mrs. Li said, "In the past few years, our family had a normal life, but in recent years, we have become more affluent, and we have set aside a few acres of land for chewing, so we don't have to worry about eating."

The old lady Lu smiled, "Don't worry, good days are ahead. I heard that your young master has won the Juren, so he should be a very gentle person. The last time Meier came over, I heard that your nephews are all studying. Embryo. Look at your girl again, she is so outstanding, isn't it because of your good teaching."

These words are kind of polite, but also kind of sincere, that is, the second wife of Lu said that Mrs. Li is completely an old lady, but Mrs. Jiang and Li Meier are not stupid at all. The mother and daughter look the same , Li Meier is still young, and she is already as bright as the morning glow. It is Lu Zhiwei and Lu Zhiyu who were born, and to be fair, they are also much inferior to Li Meier in terms of appearance.
