Chapter 205
It's getting late.

Jinli is immersed in the world of small pills and cannot extricate himself.

"Miss, Miss..." Ban Xia embroidered handkerchiefs one after another and poked a few holes with her fingers, thinking that she was a personal first-class maid. How could she have done such work? In her daily work, she only needed to serve Mu Xiangzhi attentively.

On weekdays, I carry the water basin, tidy up the books, grind the ink, and do nothing. I eat and drink spicy food with Mu Xiangru.

Mu Xiangzhi usually stayed in the pharmacy for half a day, but Banxia was relaxed. She just wandered here and there in the garden when she had nothing to do, admiring the flowers and scenery. Most of the snacks provided in the dining room in the afternoon went into her mouth.

It's comfortable, it's easy.

Today, the young lady seemed to be in a daze, insisting on keeping her in the room to embroider handkerchiefs, and even stipulated the quantity, which made Banxia feel bitter.

Jin Li looked at the sky and felt hungry. He opened the door, glanced at the aggrieved Banxia, ​​and said, "What's the matter?"

Ban Xia pouted slightly: "Miss, today Master Mu Xiu asked you to go to the main courtyard for dinner."

"Okay, I understand." Jin Li straightened his clothes, stepped down the steps, looked back at the maid who was following suit, and said, "Don't follow me, go back and continue embroidering the handkerchief."

"Ah? Are you still embroidering?" Banxia said with a slumped face: "Miss, why are you embroidering so many handkerchiefs? Ten handkerchiefs are enough for a long time."

What's wrong with the young lady? In the past, as long as she acted wronged, the young lady would definitely ask in a gentle voice, but today she turned a blind eye.

Or say that some people are cheap, treat her well, don't be grateful, instead eat inside and outside, Jinli said coldly: "If you tell you to embroider, you can embroider. Why are there so many chatters? Who is the master?"

Jin Li didn't even bother to find an excuse for not getting distracted when it came to eating out the inside and outside.

"Of course Miss is the master." Ban Xia said angrily.

Jin Li said lightly, "It's good to know."

...

main house.

Seeing Jinli coming alone, Mrs. Mu was surprised and said: "Xu'er, why are you alone, where is Pinellia?"

Mrs. Mu's expression was quite unhappy. Normally, the girl Ban Xia liked to dodge her laziness. She told her daughter several times to change to a maid who was close to her.

It's a good thing now, my daughter doesn't even have a personal attendant when she comes in and out.

Madam Mu's appearance is plain, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes. Even when she is angry, she looks like a Bodhisattva.

Jinli smiled at Mrs. Mu: "My daughter is thinking about going to a flower banquet in a few days, and if she meets someone she can make friends with, she can also give a small gift to deepen her impression, so I locked Pinellia in the room to embroider As for the handkerchief, the mother also knows that the daughter is not good at female celebrities."

"You also know that you spend all your time in the pharmacy all day." Madam Mu scolded, and flicked the powder on Fu Jinli's black hair: "You, you can't be so willful when you enter the palace, my son. Your body is weak, so spend more time on your son, he is your lifelong reliance."

"Daughters know what they know." Women in ancient times were forced to obey their fathers at home, obey their husbands after marriage, and obey their sons after their husbands died. How many days in their life could they truly live for themselves?

Mrs. Mu's face was both happy and worried. To say that her daughter's life was miserable was hard to say. She married into a wealthy family and her husband was at the top of his family. Her daughter married there and enjoyed the honors and meals.

However, the son-in-law is unable to walk on the road, the clouds are rising and the rain is falling, and the daughter is doomed to live an empty life on the bed.

Seeing her changing expression, Jin Li probably guessed what Mrs. Mu was thinking and worrying, and said in a voice of relief: "Mother, don't worry, my daughter doesn't care about these things, she chooses her own path, you should know her temperament, if you really want to marry Entering into a family where there are many wives and concubines, and being trapped in dire strife every day, it is better to hide in the palace, where there is no need to worry about food and clothing, and the daughter is very satisfied."

"Oh," Mrs. Mu sighed, "Mother knows that you agreed to this marriage for the sake of the Mu family and your brother. I have wronged you."

Jin Li shook his head with a smile: "I'm not wronged, my daughter loves it."

The client was indeed willing to do so without any reluctance, nor did he feel aggrieved. Naturally, Jinli had to show his willingness to do so.

Otherwise, it will add a psychological burden to the family for no reason.

One of the client's wishes is to protect the Mu family, to prove that Mrs. Mu, Father Mu and others are very important to the client.

Madam Mu opened her mouth and sighed silently.

After all, I feel that I owe my daughter.

At this time, two figures appeared at the hall door. When Mu's father walked in, he saw Mrs. Mu's frown and asked, "Why are you so frowning?"

"It's nothing." Mrs. Mu shook her head, "I'm talking to Xi'er about how to be a wife."

Father Mu smiled gently: "Well, I should teach you something. Although the family background of the Mu family is low, they must not lose their manners."

"Father." Jin Li stood up and saluted, and called out to the young man behind Mu's father, "Brother."

Father Mu has a dignified appearance and a gentle tone of voice.

Mu Chensha is the direct brother of the client. He is a pure and upright young man with a bookish air.

This family seems to be at odds with traditional Chinese medicine. Their son and daughter are all named after traditional Chinese medicine.

'Cinnabar' can be used as medicine and pigment.

Mu Chensha has given up his medical skills and is preparing to become an official.

In the past, Father Mu sharpened his head and tried his best to drill into the imperial hospital. When he finally got in, he found that the water was too deep, he was very tired, and he was terrified every day. Everything was not as beautiful as he imagined.

Therefore, the only son-in-law can't follow his old path no matter what.

It has the same effect as marriage is the grave.

Jin Li had a good impression of the Mu family. Father Mu's backyard was considered very quiet in ancient times, with one wife and two concubines, one concubine son and three concubine daughters.

Moreover, the client was in ancient times where the orders of his parents and matchmakers were strictly enforced. Mu's father did not have all the power over the client's marriage. He decided the decision with a single blow and at least solicited the client's opinion. This was really rare in ancient times. Very valuable.

The other party's power and position alone is enough to confuse most people.

When such a big pie falls on the head, most families will choose a coercive method almost without hesitation. Whether you like it or not, your opinion is not important.

To put it bluntly, the marriage of the children of the big family is a tool for marriage.

After giving birth to you and raising you, shouldn't you dedicate yourself to the prosperity of your family?

And that kind of dedication carries a high honor in the eyes of the entire family.

Your dedication proves your usefulness and your worth.

If you have nothing to offer, you can only be regarded as an outcast in the family. Almost all the resources in the family have nothing to do with you.

Anyway, all resources must be placed on the most promising people first, and then distributed one by one.

If you're lucky, you'll miss the point, but if you're not lucky, you'll just hold it in.

The big family is like a small jungle world, where the weak eat the strong, and there is not so much tenderness.

Jin Li came from a big family, so don't know too much about the ins and outs inside.

When any big family encounters something, the person in charge will first consider the interests of the entire family, without exception.

The exceptions are all lost in the long river of history.

Otherwise, how do those aristocratic families that have been passed down for hundreds of years and thousands of years remain standing? Is it luck? !

Dynasties have changed, and many big families are still able to stand proudly, resting on the rocks. Part of it is luck, and more is the operation of wisdom, judging the situation and following the rules.

Therefore, if Father Mu is able to consult the client's opinion amidst the huge temptation, the client still has a certain weight in Father Mu's heart.
