Chapter 519 Confession
"Your aunt has high eyesight, doesn't she keep looking at each other?" Zhou Hanyu sighed.In fact, she is also worried about this matter, but now her natal family is headed by a sister-in-law, and her mother has been in poor health for the past few years, so she doesn't care much about it anymore, and Zhou Yuyan is the daughter-in-law of her sister-in-law, so there is naturally a big brother in the marriage The elder sister-in-law is in charge, and it is not up to her, a married aunt, to intervene, but her elder sister-in-law has too high a vision. Many well-matched merchants come to propose marriage, and she is always unwilling. She wants to find an official family, but the official People also have to look up to their family.

Li Meier thought for a while, and then gave an idea, "Auntie, you can ask uncle to help you take a look, this time the imperial examination should have produced many outstanding people, and there should be quite a few who were assigned to the Imperial Academy. Those who are not yet married are not a good match."

Zhou Hanyu's eyes lit up when he heard the words, yes!How could she have forgotten this, every time the imperial examinations, there are a lot of good scholars who are admitted to the Imperial Academy, there are always some who slip through the net, if there are one or two suitable ones, it is not a good marriage for the niece and daughter.

Zhou Hanyu immediately clapped his hands and said, "Mei Meier, you have a quick brain. I will ask your uncle to help you pay attention when I go back. As long as you can learn good character, family background is not a problem."

Anyway, her natal family is rich, and her sister-in-law just wants her daughter to be an official wife. A poor family like that is the most suitable one.

Li Meier looked at the happy Zhou Hanju with a smile, and only hoped that she could find a suitable candidate. She thought that if the Zhou family arranged a marriage for Zhou Yuyan, it might be able to dispel her unrealistic thoughts.

Li Meier returned home, Mrs. Li and Mrs. Jiang asked about the birthday banquet, Li Meier and Mrs. Li only talked about some new things, and did not mention the dangerous things that happened at the birthday banquet. My wife is getting older now, but she can't bear to be frightened anymore, not just Li Meier, the family always picks out good things to say to her.

Mrs. Li heard a novelty, thinking about her [-]th birthday, she was really nothing compared to others.

Li Mei'er has always been a filial person, and she patted her chest and promised Mrs. Li, "Grandmother, when your [-]th birthday comes, I promise to help you make it even more lively than this. I will invite you for three days and three nights with the troupe." , let the neighbors see how beautiful you are."

Mrs. Li listened to Zhile, but she still didn't change her instincts, and angrily taught her granddaughter, "People like us, why talk about the ostentation, just invite the neighbors to come over for a meal, and invite the theater troupe. How much money will it cost!"

"Grandmother, don't worry, I will pay for it. You will only celebrate your [-]th birthday once in your life. Of course, you will have a good time." Li Meier was very bold, with the appearance of spending money like dirt.

"Your money is not money. I see that after you arrived in the capital, you became more and more extravagant. If you have a lot of money, take it out and I'll save it for you to buy land. What kind of business is this? It's not as good as buying fields and land .” Mrs. Li started talking about her financial management again.

Li Meier thought, if her grandmother had enough money, she would be the biggest landlord in the capital. She had never seen anyone who liked to buy land more than her grandmother.

After chatting with Mrs. Li for a while, the fright that Li Meier received at the birthday banquet in the uncle's house has disappeared.

After Mrs. Li went back to the house to rest, she dragged Mrs. Jiang back to the room.

Looking at her like this, Mrs. Jiang knew that something must have happened at today's birthday banquet, thinking that she couldn't wait to gossip with herself, so she smiled and said: "What's the matter, I have to close the door and talk to my mother." Secretly said, you can’t tell it at your grandmother’s place just now.” The mother-in-law loves to listen to gossip more than herself, and she also has more conversations with her own daughter.

Li Mei'er was a little guilty, and she didn't pretend to be serious, she told Jiang Shi all the things that happened today, of course, she didn't dare to say too carefully, for fear of scaring Jiang Shi.

But even so, Mrs. Jiang was already terrified when she heard it. She got up and hurriedly checked her daughter, asking, "Are you all right? Didn't you hurt anything? Don't worry about me just because I'm worried." Keep it in mind, if you are injured, you have to see a doctor immediately."

Li Meier knew that Jiang Shi would be so nervous, so she didn't want to tell her in the first place, so she could only let her manipulate her, and said with certainty, "Mother, I'm fine! Don't worry!"

Mrs. Jiang checked carefully to make sure that her daughter was fine, and her oily skin was not scratched, so she felt relieved, covered her chest with a handkerchief and said, "Why are there so many dangerous things in these big families? Don't go to such banquets in the future, so as not to worry me, we haven't reached the time when we have to socialize with these people."

Although Mrs. Jiang's words are very unpromising, they are sincere. They are from a small place, and they only hope for peace and safety in their whole life, and they never thought about being rich and powerful. Even if all the men in the family are officials now , It is also based on being safe and down-to-earth, Jiang's now has some psychological shadows on those palaces, dukes and earls, and always feels that if he gets involved with these noble people, there will be hidden dangers.

"Mother, it won't happen." Li Meier was a little dumbfounded. She felt that her mother was too careful. Things like the Earl's Mansion were a rare accident. She had only heard such an incident in the Earl's Mansion when she came to the capital. It's true, and if it wasn't for Sun Xiaowu who was about to become the princess, the uncle's house wouldn't have such a thing today.

Jiang is not as optimistic as Li Meier, she feels that her family has been unlucky recently, so she thinks if she can go to Tan Tuo Temple to burn incense in her spare time, to drive away the bad luck, and let the Bodhisattva bless her family with no illness or disaster.

In the evening, Li Yan and Jiang Shanqing came back from the Yamen. After dinner, Li Meier told Jiang Shanqing about the matter again.

Jiang Shanqing frowned after hearing this, looked at Li Meier dissatisfied and asked, "You must be trying to be brave again, right?"

Li Meier was a little guilty, but she still said stubbornly: "No, I just dragged Xiao Wu to hide for a while, but the lynx took aim at Xiao Wu and kept chasing her. Fortunately, I reacted fast enough, otherwise Xiao Wu Five, this is sure to suffer."

"Since you know that someone wants to deal with Miss Sun's family, why do you still go to her side, so you are not afraid of being accidentally hurt?" Jiang Shanqing sighed helplessly, and it was another day of worrying about his wife's enthusiasm.

"I didn't think too much about it at the time, and someone wanted to harm Pingting, so I can't just watch Pingting have an accident." Li Meier didn't feel that she had done anything wrong, so she was confident.
