Chapter 31 Mother Li
Since she has found Mother Li, Jiang Yong can no longer let her suffer outside. Therefore, she, her son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren were taken back to Jiang's house. Mother Li didn't want to be raised for free, so Jiang Yong asked her to help her manage the life in the courtyard. Let her son follow her as a follower, and her daughter-in-law followed her wishes and only arranged to be a idle steward in the flower room.
Jiang Ting knew that her father valued this Mami Li very much, so as soon as she saw her coming, she hurriedly stood up from her seat and went forward: "Why did Mami come here in person? What can I say? Isn't it good to let those little girls run errands? There is a long way from the main courtyard to here.
Mama Li bowed her knees with a smile before Jiang Ting pulled her, then took Jiang Ting's outstretched hand and sent her to her seat. She smiled and said, "Girl, sit down quickly. It's really a broken old slave for you to get up to meet her like this. The old slave came here this time to send monthly money to the girl. There are a lot of girls in the girl's yard, and there are more money in the girl's monthly money. The old slave is not sure to be sent by others.
Jiang Ting did not argue too much with Mother Li and followed her back obediently. She is not familiar with M mother Li, but I heard from her father that her personality is the most rule-heavy, so there is no need to make her too difficult in this regard in order to express goodwill.
"M Mother loves me so much." Jiang Ting smiled and motioned to love embroidery and Zhihua, helped Mother Li to sit down on the stool next to her, and said, "But I still have to say that Mami, there is a small half a miles from the main courtyard to here. Isn't it worried that you are old and you still go so far? It's just scattered silver. Mama doesn't have to worry so much. I'm not easy to bully. No one in our house dares to deduct me!"
Jiang Ting deliberately straightened her chest and made a strong look, which immediately made Mother Li laugh.
Mama Li took out a small bulging purse from her sleeve pocket, which was obviously full of silver. She handed the embroidery to one side. After watching the embroidery hand the purse to Jiang Ting, Fang replied to Jiang Ting with a smile, "Don't worry. Although the old slave is old, his legs and feet are still sharp. But it's nothing for the old slave to go this road. Naturally, the old slave knew that the girl was powerful and would not be cheated. He didn't want to take the opportunity to see the girl, so he went this trip.
Jiang Ting clapped her hands with a smile and pretended to be a child: "Oh, I'm so happy when Mother said so. Well, it's just that M mother still has to pay attention to her health, otherwise Dad will be sad if he knows that he doesn't care about himself. In this way, Mami will miss me in the future, so she will come in a sedan chair. This also saves the tiredness of walking.
M Mother Li looked at Jiang Ting with doting eyes, shook her head and smiled, "The girl cherishes the old slave, and the old slave is very grateful. It's just that the old slave is a slave after all. How can he take a sedan chair in the house? Isn't this a bad rule? Don't worry, girl. The old slave is in good health. It's okay to take these more steps.
Jiang Ting also knows that the elderly should walk more, which is also a good way to keep fit. It's just that Mother Li is different. She has suffered a lot before and is a little cold. Although it's summer now, my legs will still hurt if I walk too much. However, she also knew what she said here, and M Mother Li would not agree. I have to tell my father about this matter. In the future, if someone prepare a green car for Mother Li, she should not refuse like this.
Jiang Ting no longer mentioned letting her ride a sedan chair, but only chose the common sayings for eating, drinking and dressing to chat with Mother Li. But after chatting for a while, she didn't want to leave, so Jiang Ting felt a little strange. Generally speaking, she doesn't know Mother Li well. It's not reasonable for her to stay with her for so long. Taking a closer look, Mother Li glanced at Lianxiu and Zhihua from time to time, and Jiang Ting felt that she should have something to say.
Therefore, Jiang Ting found an excuse to put out both Zhihua and Lianxiu, and asked Mother Li bluntly, "Is there anything else for Mother to come to me this time?"
M Mother Li's gentle smile on her face remained unchanged. She looked at Jiang Ting with a little embarrassed and replied, "In addition to sending you a month's money this time, there is indeed one thing to ask the girl to be grateful."
"I don't know what M Mother wants?" Jiang Ting asked puzzled.
"Well, the old slave came here this time to be a matchmaker and asked the girl for someone for the son of the housekeeper Zhang in our house." Mother Li said with a smile.
Jiang Ting asked in surprise, "Ask someone? Which son is in charge of Mr. Zhang? Which one do you want from me? Is it love embroidery? She is the only one of marriageable age here.
Mother Li nodded and smiled, "It's the second son of Mr. Zhang's housekeeper. He is 18 years old this year. The person his family requires is the girl who loves embroidery."
I don't know what expression Jiang Ting should give to Mother Li now. Generally speaking, marrying the son of the general manager is a good marriage for Lianxiu. Unfortunately, she is not a real ancient person and can decide her future life for others at will. Therefore, although she really doesn't want to brush Mother Li's face at this time, she really can't agree immediately.
"Well, Mister also knows that I'm still young, and Sister Lianxiu is here who takes care of me. I can't live without her for a while..."
M Mother Li waved her hand and smiled, "This girl doesn't have to worry about this marriage, even if we slaves have to go through the whole set of procedures, it will take three or five and a half months. What's more, the two children of Mr. Zhang's housekeeper are only 18 years old, and it's okay to get married two years later. They were afraid that it would be too late to beg. Someone had begged the embroidery girl for a long time, so they were busy coming to find me as this matchmaker. Mr. Zhang's housekeeper told the old slave that they just wanted to ask the girl for a marriage first. It's not urgent to get married two years later.
Jiang Ting opened her mouth and looked at Mother Li with a happy face. After all, she didn't say the word "good" after all. She promised to love embroidery and Zhihua before, and she would definitely help them find a good husband. And the stewmer of the outer courtyard, she really hasn't seen many girls in the inner courtyard. She has seen the general manager. He is a kind-looking middle-aged man in his forties. But that's all she knows about others. Not to mention the second son of the housekeeper. Does she know who he is? If she really promises to marry Lianxiu, and she will suffer again in the future, isn't it her own fault?
Jiang Ting took a deep breath and looked at Mother Li very apologetically and said, "M Mother, I really can't promise you about this now. Lianxiu has served me very well during this period, and I don't want to set her out so easily. I don't know what kind of person Mr. Zhang's second son is. I can't just confuse her and assign her to someone else. In this way, can you go back and tell General Manager Zhang about it, saying that I will think about it first and then reply to them after thinking about it. Do you think it's okay?"
A moment of stunned flashed on Mother Li's face, and then looked at Jiang Ting with kind eyes and said in a very gentle tone, "The girl is really a charity. The old slave was really happy to embroider them. Since the girl said so, the old slave went back and replied to Mr. Zhang's housekeeper and told them not to worry first. When the girl has thought about it, let someone send a message to the old slave, and the old slave will discuss this matter in detail with the girl and Lianxiu.
Jiang Ting was a little surprised to hear that the meaning of Mother Li's words seemed to be very confident in this marriage.
