Chapter 509
Li Meier didn't want to see Shanqing's brother feel sad, so she comforted her, "Don't worry too much, Xu Daru is a lucky man, he will be fine."

Jiang Shanqing forced a smile, and said: "I naturally believe that the teacher will be fine, but I am a little scared. Is the teacher affected by me? It's too coincidental that he got sick this time."

Li Meier was shocked when she heard the words, she didn't expect this possibility, but if it was true, then Xu Daru must know something, some people didn't want him to tell the truth, so they chose to kill people to silence them.

The more Li Meier thought about it, the more frightened she became, the more she felt that the capital was dangerous, and once again she had the idea of ​​fleeing.

Looking at Li Meier's face, Jiang Shanqing knew what she was worried about, and secretly scolded herself for talking too much, so she could only comfort her instead, "This is just my guess, or maybe I think too much, the teacher just simply relapsed."

Li Mei'er was silent for a moment, then nodded. Although she was still worried, she didn't show it on her face anymore. She wanted to ease the heavy atmosphere, so she changed the subject with a smile, "Grandmother is fine at home these few days." , always knocking on the sidelines with me."

"What did you say?" Jiang Shanqing was really interested by Li Meier, and asked curiously.

"It is said that the son, grandson and son-in-law are all officials now, which is different from before." Li Meier continued with a smile.

Jiang Shanqing is not stupid either, once Li Meier said that, he understood.He smiled and replied: "Speaking of which, I have a salary, so I should be filial to my grandmother and mother-in-law. When the salary is paid, I will give it to you. You can arrange it."

Although Jiang Shanqing is a modern person, the concept of handing in wages is familiar to all ages.

Li Meier covered her mouth and smiled, and said again: "I'll teach you how clever, next time you get a salary, first go to the dim sum shop to buy some delicate dim sum. Grandma likes persimmon cakes, candied dates, chestnut flour cakes, and egg cakes."

Jiang Shanqing nodded again and again, thinking that the daughter-in-law is still careful, so the old lady must be happy in her heart.

Li Meier not only told brother Shanqing about this, but also reminded her mother.

Mrs. Jiang naturally has no objection. Mrs. Li has always been in charge of the family. Since she moved to the capital, her expenses have been much higher than those in the county. In addition, there have been constant visits to the family in the past few days, and her own daughter is getting married. Happy events, all kinds, are all things that cost money.

The mother-in-law took out a lot of savings, and the money in her hand must be a lot less at the moment, so she also discussed with Li Yan and asked him to hand over all the money he distributed to Mrs. Li for safekeeping.

Li Yanni has always been a careless person. Hearing what his wife said, she immediately responded with a smile, and praised Jiang, "Yingying is more thoughtful."

Jiang smiled, "Fortunately, I still have a daughter. If Brother Kang, Brother Jun, and the others are like you, I will be embarrassed in the future."

Li Yan flattered his wife again, feeling that his wife was considerate and reasonable.

Jiang's all smiled and benefited.

Mrs. Jiang even asked her daughter privately, "Did you say Shanqing's salary will be handed over to you?"

Li Meier nodded, "Of course, I keep Brother Shanqing's money."

Seeing that her daughter was firmly in control of the small family's financial power, Mrs. Jiang was very satisfied, and taught her, "You keep the money, and you have to bring some pocket money to Shanqing on weekdays. It's inevitable to have wine and tea at any time, don't make Shanqing feel embarrassed outside."

Li Meier said, "I twisted the silver and put it in Shanqing's purse, one penny and two pennies, and Ah Fu would give him a penny every day for pocket money." After hearing this, Mrs. Jiang was very satisfied, I think my daughter is doing the right thing.

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of the month, and the birthday banquet for the old lady of the Earl's Mansion came. Although all the Li family had received the banquet, but Mrs. Li was getting old, and Mrs. Jiang had to stay at home to take care of the two young ones, so Li Meier was the only one who went. But Zhou Hanyu also accepted the post, and she will go there with Li Meier.

The banquets held by various houses in central Beijing, especially the big banquets such as birthday banquets, usually open their doors to welcome guests from the morning, which is also convenient for the guests to socialize with each other.

As one of the most prestigious nobles in the current dynasty, Wu'an Bo's mansion naturally had a more grand birthday banquet.

Li Meier has been to Wu'anbo Mansion twice, but she still thinks that Wu'anbo Mansion is very grand.She only found out later that, in fact, according to the system, the regulations of Wu'anbo Mansion were built according to the regulations of the Marquis' Mansion, which was somewhat against the regulations. Tried it a few times, but no one said anything.

Li Meier and Zhou Hanju went there in the same carriage. After getting off the carriage, Li Meier and Zhou Hanju were led by the maids of Wu'an Bo Mansion into the courtyard that was used to entertain the female relatives today.

Li Meier and the others came early, but there were still many people who arrived one step earlier than them, and they heard chatter and laughter coming from inside before they entered.

As soon as they walked to the door, they saw a young woman in her twenties coming out with a few maidservants behind her. Wearing the fashionable clothes in Beijing made her already outstanding appearance even more eye-catching, which can be described as making trouble.

Coupled with the noble and elegant temperament she carries on her body, it makes people feel bright when they see it.

Although Li Meier has been to the Earl's Mansion twice, she went directly to Xie's courtyard each time, and only met Xie and Sun Xiaowu, but she didn't know which master of the Earl's Mansion this lady in front of her was.

But Zhou Hanju recognized this person, and whispered in Li Meier's ear, "This is Mrs. Shizi."

Li Meier understood what she said, and counting her seniority, this should be Sun Zhongyuan and Sun Xiaowu's sister-in-law.

The beautiful woman, the wife of the eldest son of Wu Anbo, Tong Shi, also saw them, with a slight smile on her face, she nodded at Zhou Hanyu, her eyes couldn't help but pause after seeing Li Meier's appearance.

Li Meier bowed generously, thinking that the wife of the eldest son is really a great beauty, and her facial features are no worse than that of Song Ziying, who is famous for her beauty.

She didn't expect that her appearance could attract the attention of a beauty like Tong Shi, which seemed to be a rare beauty.

The servant girl who led Li Meier in immediately reminded Tong Shi smartly: "Mrs. Shizi, this is the wife of Mr. Jiang, the editor of the Imperial Academy, and Mr. Jiang, the editor of the Imperial Academy.

Tong Shi was a little confused by the servant girls and Mrs. Jiang, but this did not prevent her from exchanging pleasantries. Although Jiang Yanzhi and Jiang Shanqing's official positions are not high, they are only sixth rank and Cong Liu rank, but Hanlin Qinggui, who knows what will happen in the future Will join the cabinet as a prime minister, naturally it is based on friendship.
