The koi wife dressed as the male protagonist of the imperial examination

Chapter 314 Break Your Leg

As a result, old man Li and Mrs. Shi became very uneasy.

Even if he came to the capital for a day or two or even a month or two months, after all, the people he dealt with before were just ordinary people, at most Li Xiuping's classmates and friends.

Furthermore, my third daughter-in-law has friendship with the princess of Prince An's Mansion——

This is the unanimous cognition of the two elders of the Li family, because the contact with Prince An's mansion is based on the friendship of the female relatives, and they don't want their parents to worry that Li Xiuping did not tell them about Prince An and Princess Anle from the very beginning.

Later, it was inconvenient to explain, so the Li family decided that it was their young people who were kind and kind, so they had friendship with the princess.

Anyway, there are only a few real nobles who come and go, and the others they know besides the neighbors on the left and right, the customers of the restaurant, and the owners of some shops who are strong when they go out to buy.

But this year, on the first and second day of the Lunar New Year, many of Saburo's colleagues and even his superiors came to visit, calling him New Year's greetings over and over again.

With the elders around, it is natural that Mrs. Li, old man Shi, should go out to receive guests, and they should be divided into male guests and female guests.

It is said that there are many rules in the families of those high-ranking officials in the capital. Old man Li and the others don't know this, and they don't know how to communicate with those so-called nobles.

Disrespect and embarrassment are trivial things, if you accidentally offend a big man, it will be a big bad for Saburo.

Fortunately, Mrs. Shi is an intelligent person who upholds the principle of watching more, learning more and talking less.

Just smile when entertaining guests, but it's decent all the way down.

Even Li Xiuping comforted his parents: "I was originally from such a background, and adults all know that there is no need to restrain my heart."

He also said: "The son brought his father and mother to the capital to enjoy the blessings. If he is tied up in everything, it is a kind of restraint. In the end, it is the son's sin."

When Li Xiuping said this, he immediately removed the big stone that was weighing on the hearts of the two elders, and made them all feel at ease.

That's right, they were originally country bumpkins with mud legs, and they never shy away from telling outsiders about this even when the number one scholar in San Lang became an official.

If they hide it like this, it will make a mess instead.

Even if the second elder relaxed, from the first day to the fifth day of the new year, the second elder and Li Xiuping and his wife were also very busy.

Guests kept coming to the door, but it was Li Dalang and the others, because the relatives and relatives were not in the capital.

On the contrary, they were free, and their children happened to be by their side, and when the family settled the family income for a year a year ago, Mrs. Shi distributed money to each small family.

Simply, Li Dalang, Li Erlang, and even Geng Dazhuang took his family to wander around the capital, and they only had time throughout the year.

Because the Li family lives in the official residence assigned to Li Sanlang by the government, and when they go out to do things, they sometimes need the title of the third child to be an official.

And because Li Xiuping is an official in the court, it is inevitable that he will have socializing and entertainment with other colleagues, so old man Li and Shi Shi made arrangements from the beginning.

For example, the Lumi and other rewards received every month are used by the Li family together, while Li Xiuping's salary and monthly silver are collected by himself and spent with his wife.

Including Fang Qingqing's consultation fees earned as a doctor in the Baoantang and outpatient consultations, all of which were collected by herself.

It's not like Li Dalang and Li Erlang's money earned from the food shop and the money earned from selling goods, all of which need to be handed over to the public.

Therefore, when the money was distributed this time, Li Xiuping was not involved.

Even because of their particularity, Shi didn't figure out how much money Li Xiuping and Fang Qingqing had.

Anyway, both of them are successful, so Shi Shi didn't have to worry so much, just take care of everything in the back house.

And this year, due to various reasons, the business of the restaurant was very good, and Li Erlang and Geng Dazhuang also made a lot of money selling goods.

When each room went back to the room for a small meeting, Mrs. Li asked Da Mao to help her calculate, and the total amount of money in her hand was almost 300 taels.

This amount of money may not be enough in the capital, but if they return to their Anshun County, it will be a lot of money.

She can buy a house and open a restaurant by herself, and she will ask someone to help her when the time comes.

You can just throw your hands away and be the shopkeeper and the boss, and spend every day counting money in the house. Such a life is not too comfortable.

Of course, there are other urgent matters at present, for example, Da Mao has stopped studying and is about the same age.

He should be thinking about marrying him a wife, at least she is the eldest grandson of Lao Li's family, Da Mao's marriage cannot be vague.

If this is still in her hometown, Mrs. Li may still find a way to make a fuss.

But in the capital, looking around, Mrs. Li was in a daze.

I really don't know what kind of wife I should marry Da Mao.

It is said that he is not young, but this child is not sensible, he is busy in and out of the shop every day.

Sister-in-law Li is so worried, according to Da Mao's honest and clumsy appearance, when will she be able to marry him a wife?

Si Mao is still young, so don't worry, but Niu Niu is currently the only daughter of Lao Li's family.

Even if she is not allowed to visit her in-law's family yet, the preparations for the dowry have to start.

If the girl's family leaves the court, she will have a little more dowry, and her life in her husband's family will be easier in the future.

In fact, women only live a little more relaxed during the few years when they are girls, and after they marry, they belong to someone else's family.

Husband, in-laws, and sisters-in-law, it seems that there are no major things to be busy every day, but anything that is not done well is a big trouble.

So since she had spare money, Mrs. Li has subconsciously started saving for Niu Niu's dowry, and these few years have not restricted her too much.

It's just that being a little lady has made life easier in the past few years, and I also hope that Niuniu will know that she doesn't need to bow her head too much in her husband's house after her mother's family is strong.

Although Sister-in-Law Li has never read the book, she also knows that it is better for a son to marry high but a daughter to marry low.

Of course, she didn't have such a mind in the countryside before, and she wished that Niuniu could marry into a family with good conditions and would not suffer in the future.

But since she started to do food business and opened a food shop to meet more people, Mrs. Li knows that although the rich family seems to be doing well.

At least there is no shortage of food and drink and no worries about food and clothing, but life may not be smooth, especially she knows that there are many men from rich families who have three wives and four concubines.

On this point, Mrs. Li is especially grateful to her mother-in-law. Before Sanlang came to Beijing, her mother-in-law had strictly warned that all the men in the old Li family should keep their hearts.

What about abandoning your poor wife after getting rich or playing with women outside, and let your father break your legs!
I only said this to Saburo, because he is the most promising man in the whole old Li family, and he will be rich and prosperous when he becomes a high-ranking official in the future, so my mother-in-law is worried.

But in the same way, for the men of the old Li's family, this is also a family rule. If Li Sanlang guards Li Dalang, Li Erlang must abide by it.

For this, Li's sister-in-law and Li's second sister-in-law will also respect and love her mother-in-law more.
