Fortunate Wife

The old lady trembled a little at Wu'er's words, and was about to say something to dismiss her, but Li Man gently shook the old lady's hand, and said with a slight smile, "This sister is so beautiful, the clothes on her are beautiful, The hair accessories on her head are also pretty."

"Of course." Hearing Li Man's boast, Wu'er immediately became as proud as a peacock, "This dress was specially made for me by my second brother in Jinxiufang, the most famous shop in the capital. This hairpin is made of the finest white jade."

The other little girls at the side immediately showed envious expressions.

"Oh." Li Man nodded, "It looks really good to me, the workmanship is very delicate and sophisticated."

"That goes without saying." Wu'er raised her lips proudly, "It's not good, can I have it?"

Li Man smiled, "However, no matter how expensive the material is, or how exquisite the white jade is, if there are no skilled craftsmen to make it, it may be useless. My sister can't just put the material on her body and hang the white jade directly on her head, right?"

Wu'er was taken aback for a moment, and then became a little annoyed, "What do you mean?"

"Moreover," Li Man ignored her questioning and continued, "Even if there are craftsmen who have made beautiful clothes and exquisite accessories, they must be placed in the store for sale, so you can buy them, right?"

"..." Wu'er didn't know what kind of medicine was buried in her gourd, she just stared at a pair of big black eyes, and said angrily, "Speak directly if you have something to say, don't go round about it."

"Hehe, it's true that a woman's lack of talent is virtue. It seems that I have to be more direct so that you can understand." Li Man also smiled mockingly, unexpectedly, her smile was silent and light, but The other person on the side laughed out loud.

Li Man glanced unintentionally, but it was the sour young man, but he quickly restrained his smile, twisted a cup of tea in his hand, and bowed his head as if he was concentrating on tasting the tea.

The other girls on the side were slower to react, and when they realized it, they all laughed secretly.

Wu'er stared at them blankly, dissatisfied, "What are you laughing at?"

"Heh." Mei Xue was not afraid of big troubles, so she called directly, "Sister Wu, Sister Man'er is saying that you are stupid."

"You?" Wu'er's eyes burst into flames, and then glared at Li Man.

Li Man felt very innocent, and glanced at Mei Xue, "She said you were stupid, I didn't say that."

Although that is what it means, it doesn't count if you don't say it directly.

Wu'er was extremely annoyed, and glared at Mei Xue bitterly. Mei Xue didn't expect Li Man to be so disregarding her face, and she pretended to be stupid and said it directly, and her face flushed with anger.

"That's what you meant."

"Really? You're smart." Li Man fought back without showing weakness, "Then you want to convey my meaning to this little sister?"

"Me?" Mei Xue was choked up all of a sudden.

Mei Xiang immediately tugged on her sister's clothes, and said with a smile, "Okay, stop talking, and listen to what Sister Man'er has to say."

Wu'er also knew that there was no internal strife, so she stared at Li Man again, "What do you mean by those words just now? In front of the old lady, there is no need to make such detours."

"Oh, I didn't go around the bush, I just didn't expect such a simple truth, my sister, who seems to be so smart, can't understand it?" Li Man said with a regretful expression, "Just now, my sister said that only inferior people I know how to do business, I think that a classy person like my sister would look down on those inferior people, but my sister is wearing clothes and jewelry made by inferior people, isn't this tarnishing my identity?"

"Me?" Wu'er realized at this time that she was digging a hole to mock herself, and wanted to refute, but suddenly she was speechless.

Seeing her angry and unwilling appearance, Li Man only thought it was funny, and said viciously, "Could it be that you, as a superior person, still can't do without us inferior people."

"Nonsense, how can I not be able to do without you low-class people, you are just bought by us with money, it's fine, if you don't want to beat them out, or find someone to sell your teeth, huh, how could it be Can't live without you? What a joke." Wu'er said angrily.

Li Man's eyes unconsciously filled with coldness, "Really? Sister, you are a high-class person, you are really courageous, but I think it's better to have some backbone? If you don't dress like a low-class person I admire her clothes and jewelry."

"..." Wu'er's choked face turned pale, and she said in a rascally tone, "Why don't I wear it? I spent money?"

"You earned the money yourself?" Li Man asked casually.

Wu'er immediately looked at her contemptuously, "I am a majestic lady, do I need to earn money by myself? Just kidding, let me tell you, there are too many people who want to give me money."

"Oh, isn't it rice worms? It's worth being so proud?" Li Man simply said that this young lady doesn't look down on her, and she doesn't necessarily want to be looked down upon by such a person, but other people make things difficult for her for no reason. , she doesn't want others to feel better.

"Mi Chong?" Wu'er was extremely angry, "You say I'm a bug?"

Li Man quickly waved his hands and explained, "No, no, no, it's not an ordinary bug. Bugs are harmful and beneficial, but you are a useless rice bug. You don't even have the qualifications to be a pest. Oh, by the way, as a Majestic Miss, you haven’t seen rice, have you?”

"Rice? That's something only found in the kitchen, how could I see it?" Wu'er was very disdainful, but was stunned by Li Man.

Li Man shook her head, "No wonder you don't know about rice worms? Let me tell you, rice worms live in the rice. They don't have to work all day long. They just nest in the rice and eat some. In short, it's It's a piece of trash."

"You dare to call me trash?" Wu'er stood up angrily, her brows were erected, and she glared at Li Man angrily.

Li Man blinked her eyes a few times, and asked innocently, "Don't you?"

Not only Wu'er, but several other girls, even the old lady, and the young man beside him were all taken aback by Li Man's casual question, which was straightforward enough.

"You can't lift your shoulders, you can't lift your hands, you can stretch out your clothes to eat, you can open your mouth, and you have to be served by others even when you eat, drink, and sleep. What do you mean you are not a waste?" looking at this little girl.

Wu'er was trembling with anger, but she couldn't say a word. Soon, her eyes turned red and tears came out. She turned her face away, and instead of looking for the old lady, she ran to Zhang Jing, shook his arm, and cried , "Brother Jing, you have to make the decision for me, she bullies me, woo woo woo..."

Li Man shrugged her eyebrows, she was still bullying, who told this little girl to speak so meanly at such a young age, like Ye Xiang, hmph, what happened to Ye Xiang? People also earn money by labor.

She didn't say anything, just stared at the scene to see what he had to say, the old lady also looked at him, she believed in her grandson, so she wouldn't help Wu'er who had no eyesight.

"Why are you crying? Rice worms are better than others pouring Yexiang, right?" Zhang Jing put down his teacup and smiled softly.

Wu'er was stunned for a moment, and immediately became happy, yes, Mi Chong is at least clean, unlike Yexiang who was coquettish all day long.

"Jing'er?" Unexpectedly, the little grandson would help an outsider, and the old lady became angry all of a sudden.

"Grandma, Jinger is telling the truth." Zhang Jing smiled innocently, "This person is all fate, and there is no difference between superiority and inferiority. A master is a master, and a slave is a slave. If our masters all go to feed the slaves Do you want those slaves to drink the northwest wind?"

"It's just... It's their blessing to let those servants serve me." Wu'er leaned against Zhang Jing, feeling complacent again, staring at Li Man disdainfully, with a little provocation The taste seems to be saying, how is it? Brother Jing is helping me.

"You—" The old lady stared at Zhang Jing angrily, wishing she could grab him and spank her.

Li Man was not very angry, she patted the old lady's hand lightly, and said, "Grandma, don't be angry, what Young Master Jing said is not completely wrong."

No matter what age, this kind of concept exists. Even if she lives in the 21st century, which advocates equality for everyone, but the fact is that power, money, and the gap between rich and poor are getting worse. Doesn’t this concept still exist in people’s hearts?

In any era, it is impossible to want absolute justice and equality.

She didn't expect to be looked up to by others. She just lived her own life according to her own conscience.

"Master is not master, slave is not slave, these have nothing to do with me, fortunately, I am not someone's master, nor is anyone's slave, and I am not the one who fell for Yexiang." Li Manyun said calmly Smiling, "So, I don't care about your pride."

"..." Wu'er looked at Li Man from the corner of her eyes, not believing that she didn't care, "However, I'm curious, which family is Sister Man'er's... daughter?"

"It's from the Li family." Li Man answered concisely and simply.

At this moment, the old lady glared at Wu'er impatiently, "Why are you asking so many questions? She is a guest invited by my old lady, don't be so unruly, ask questions, speak harshly, she doesn't look like a lady. "

Wu'er was choked up all of a sudden, but the other little girls smiled gloatingly. They were jealous when they saw Zhang Jing helping her just now. Seeing the old lady talking about her so mercilessly, all of them were overjoyed. Everyone knows that the old lady of the Zhang family is the head of the house, and Zhang Jing listens to the old lady the most.

"Grandma, Wu'er is young and speaks straightforwardly, but she doesn't mean anything maliciously. I believe Miss Li won't mind." Zhang Jing glanced at Li Man quietly as he spoke.

Li Man snorted, "Where, it's good that she doesn't get angry with me."

Wu'er snorted coldly, turned her face away and looked at Li Man lazily again.

Li Man didn't care, and turned to the old lady and said, "Grandma, I've been here for a while, and I've been talking and joking for a long time, and it's time to get down to business."

"Oh." The old lady looked at Li Man with some guilt. She wanted to keep her, and everyone talked and laughed together, but who knew that the girls were ignorant, and even the always obedient grandson was ignorant. She was very annoyed, "Let Manager Zhang accompany you to pick someone."

"Okay, let's talk about the contract later, I'll bring it to you next time I come over." Li Man said.

The old lady nodded, "I'll do whatever is convenient for you."

"Yeah." Li Man got up, and smiled slightly at the people sitting, "Master Jing, sisters, sit and play for a while, I have to take a step ahead."

Zhang Jing nodded slightly, and the girls were not as polite as they were at the beginning this time due to Zhang Jing's attitude towards Li Man, so they didn't respond.

"Go ahead, if you have anything to do, let Manager Zhang do it directly, and you don't have to answer everything to me." The old lady said.

Hearing Zhang Jing's words, Meifeng frowned slightly, and watched Li Man go out with Zhang Guanshi.

"Okay, you guys should leave too, I'm tired." As soon as Li Man left, the old lady's face darkened, and she started to push people away very displeased.

"Grandma." Zhang Jing came to help her, but was pushed away by the old lady, "Okay, you go too, I don't need you to serve me here."

But Zhang Jing smiled slightly, waved the girl and the maids to retreat, and personally supported the old lady's arm, sent her back to the room, and said, "Grandma, are you blaming me for belittling that Miss Li?"

"You still have the guts to say it?" The old lady went back to the room, sat next to the beauty, and stared at Zhang Jing fiercely, "I don't know, so you like that girl Wu'er, well, I'll let you do it tomorrow." Manager Zhang prepares the dowry gift, and will give her to you."

"Hehe." Zhang Jing was not in a hurry when he heard the words, just smiled and sat on the small stool, and gently beat the old lady's legs, "I know grandma loves me, so I am reluctant to let me marry that girl."

The grandson took good care of her, and the old lady's anger was mostly gone, but thinking of Li Man being wronged, she still said angrily, "Then you still help her bully our girl Man?"

"Man girl? It seems that grandma really cares about that girl, and her grandson is going to be jealous." Zhang Jing stopped talking, and looked at the old lady resentfully like a child who was left out in the cold.

The old lady was funny, "Okay, don't be so good, I have spoiled you all these years."

Zhang Jing smiled again when he heard this, and continued to help the old lady beat her legs, "However, Grandma, you did treat her a little better, it makes people jealous."

"Heh, what are you jealous of?" The old lady let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "To be honest, I liked that girl the first time I saw her. It's just that you are unlucky, otherwise you will marry her... ...."

"Come on, grandma, I already have five husband-in-laws, so don't pull me in." As for Li Man's matter, Zhang Jingzao's ears were already callused after hearing what the old lady said.

However, at first, she was just a clever little girl who wanted to curry favor with grandma, but he didn't take it seriously, but gradually, the old lady took so much care for that girl, which made him vigilant and a little Taste.

Seeing him today, Li Man far exceeded his imagination.

She has a delicate and charming face, even more beautiful than any girl he has been in contact with since he was a child. This is also one of the reasons why he has been sitting quietly by Li Man since he entered the house, losing his mind about her.

However, soon, he saw that this soft-looking little girl was articulate and quick-responsive, and the most rare thing was that she was not surprised by humiliation, and other people's malicious taunts and attacks seemed to pass by without a trace.

It's true, he saw the indifference in her eyes.

Even when he came to his house, the other girls were all gorgeously dressed and extremely beautiful, but she was only wearing coarse clothes, her hair was not combed very much, and her hair was in a simple bun, even a little messy.

Did she not care because she was too beautiful?

Or, another kind of playing hard to get? Want to get his attention with this?

He was annoyed or disdainful of the way she stared at him at the beginning, but later, her eyes did not fall on him, and even if she glanced at him occasionally, it was frank and frank, which made him even more annoyed.

If it was a play-by-play trick, well, he admitted that the girl did attract his attention.

However, this kind of attention made him vigilant, wanting to find out her hidden thoughts?

For money and power or something else?

"What are you thinking again?" Seeing the darkness in Zhang Jing's eyes, the old lady knocked his head displeased, "Don't use your heart to speculate on others, let me tell you, Man girl is not what you think. People, not to mention those girls like Wu'er, you can put away your bad intentions as soon as possible, or you will regret it later."

"Grandma, who is evil?" Zhang Jingte blinked her beautiful eyes innocently, and had a beautiful face that looked like a baby, exuding a clean and innocent temperament like a child.

The old lady sighed, "Your face only confuses Wu'er and those girls. It's useless to pretend to be in front of my old lady. I was the one who pulled you up when you were wearing crotch pants."

"Grandma, can we not talk about those things?" After talking about it, it was shit and shit...

"Hey." The old lady sighed deeply, "Now that you are so old, it's time to make a marriage arrangement earlier."

"Grandma, are you thirsty? I'll pour you a glass of water." Zhang Jing wanted to slip away, but the old lady grabbed the end of his hair and pulled him back, "Stinky boy, don't even think about slipping. It's not over, I'm still angry. Let me tell you, Man girl originally wanted to say that she will be your daughter-in-law, and you are not blessed. Well, I also want to recognize her as a granddaughter, so that you can have more sisters, How about you, you bullied her the first time we met today? Fortunately, I always say hello to her in front of her, aren't you slapping me in the face? "

As the old lady was talking, she was so wronged that she wanted to cry. Zhang Jing hurriedly apologized, saying that he would personally apologize to her when Sister Man came over next time.

The old lady refused and told him to go immediately.

Zhang Jing had no choice but to go out reluctantly.

Besides, Li Man followed Guanshi Zhang to a hall, and then, she summoned about 30 maids who knew needlework in the house, and everyone sat in the hall together, bringing their own scraps of cloth, according to Li Man According to the requirements of each party, they are doing their jobs seriously.

Li Man looked back and forth in the crowd, and found that the steward Zhang did not lie to her. These maids are really good at sewing. She took out one and saw that the stitches were fine and even. , it's really not bad.

However, speed, Li Man waited for about a cup of tea before everyone finished their work.

In fact, it was just a pair of shorts.

Li Man frowned slightly. At this speed, for a piece of clothing, including cutting and sewing, plus workmanship, it would take at least one day, and the cost was too high.

While inspecting the shorts made by the maids, Li Man became more and more certain that if possible, she must get a sewing machine, otherwise, making clothes like this and selling them can really make a dead person.

Manager Zhang wrote down the needlework and the names of the maids. There were twenty of them in total. The wages were calculated on a piece-by-piece basis. Go back and investigate more.

Here, after the person was confirmed, Li Man wanted to get up and leave, but Zhang Guanshi shunned the maids and planned to send her out of the mansion himself.

At this time, Zhang Jing brought a servant over.

"Master Jing?" Steward Zhang stepped forward and asked.

"Oh, I'm looking for Miss Li." Zhang Jing walked directly towards Li Man who was packing up in the room.

Li Man put down the things the maids were sewing, and looked at him suspiciously, "What's the matter? The old lady?"

"Oh, just now in the old lady's room, Xiaosheng was rude, please don't take it to heart, Miss Li." Zhang Jing said politely.

Li Man had already forgotten about that matter, so she shook her head and said, "It's okay, it's just a joke, I didn't worry about it." But, he just found himself for this matter?

"Oh? Are you busy with Miss Li's affairs?" Seeing her packing up, Zhang Jing asked again.

Li Man nodded, "Well, it's all over, I'm about to go back, by the way, Master Jing wants to see me?"

Zhang Jing was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Is it a big deal to make amends?"

Is it really because of what happened just now? Li Man smiled softly, "The old lady asked you to come, right?"

Zhang Jing raised his eyebrows slightly, noncommittal.

Li Man smiled, "Forget it, I'm really fine, go back and tell the old lady, let her not think too much."

Zhang Jingning frowned, let him go back and tell the old lady? Did he regard him as a servant who passed on the message?

But the concept of superiority and inferiority in this era didn't have a deep influence on Li Man. She only regarded Zhang Jing as the grandson of the old lady, a boy who was about the same age as Li Hua, so she spoke in a normal tone.

Seeing him standing still and staring at him suspiciously, he couldn't help being a little stunned, "What's the matter? Or do you have other business? Or, do you think I offended that Miss Wu'er? You want me to apologize?"

Seeing that Zhang Jing's brows were furrowed even more fiercely, Li Man thought she had guessed right, curled her lips and said, "Go back, I won't apologize."
