After entering the book, he stole the heroine's charming attributes

"Look, you're just a little girl, and you run around outside every day, but you've built such a big business and have done things that even men might not be able to do. Alas! It's because your mother is useless, otherwise you wouldn't have to work so hard." As she said this, Liu Dahua suddenly burst into tears.

Shen Li looked a little panicked. Why did she start crying? "Mom, don't cry. I know you feel sorry for me, but Ali likes to do business. She doesn't like to stay at home embroidering every day like other girls. So Ali is not suffering. How can she feel bitter doing something she likes?" As she said that, she wiped the tears from Liu Dahua's face with her hand.

"Look at you, you don't look like a girl at all. I haven't even seen you use the handkerchief I embroidered for you." Liu Dahua said, and took out a handkerchief from her bosom and wiped her face.

Shen Li: “…”

Does this mean he dislikes her using her hands?

"Mother knows that our family can live such a good life now, with people serving us and such a big house, all thanks to you. But Ali, your business is already so big now, why don't you continue it? Keep it like this, it's enough for our family to live well. Now your eldest brother has become an official, and you don't need to take care of your second and third brothers. They can support themselves and you. As a girl, why do you need to go out and take risks?"

"Mom, I won't give up. I will continue to expand the perfume business and even make it spread throughout the Qi Dynasty."

"You're ambitious." Shen Han came in from outside and said.

"Brother, will you support me?" Shen Li asked.

Shen Han also took a day off during the Chinese New Year and came back a day earlier than them.

"What mother said is true. Our family was too poor before, so I let you, a little girl, go out to do business and make money. I felt very sorry for you. Now that I am an official, I can support you. Why don't you listen to mother and stay at home and be a rich lady? Isn't that good?"

"Yes, Mom is really worried about your safety." Liu Dahua echoed.

"Mom, brother, my ambition is not to be a rich lady. This injury was an accident. I promise that I will protect myself in the future and never put myself in danger. I will ask Luo Qi to follow me wherever I go, so you don't have to worry." Shen Li knew that they were also worried about her. This injury might make them a little scared, so they advised her to stay at home.

Seeing her insistence, Shen Han said, "Okay, remember your promise and don't let us worry." Then he looked at Liu Dahua and said, "Mom, Ali is not an ordinary girl. Many of her ideas are very different from those of ordinary people. If she is really allowed to stay at home every day, she will be unhappy."

Shen Li quickly agreed: "Yes, brother is right, mother..." As she spoke, she pulled Liu Dahua's arm and shook it.

"Okay, I know I can't persuade you. How can mother not understand you? Like your eldest brother said, you must protect yourself and don't let us worry."

"Yes, I will." After saying that, Shen Li winked at Shen Han.

"Okay, tell me, what did you mean by the letter you wrote to me before?"

Shen Li then remembered: "Brother, since you received it, why didn't you reply to me?"

"You didn't explain it clearly in your letter, what should I reply?"

Shen Li wrote that letter because he was afraid that Ruan Mingde would be embarrassed, so he only said that Ruan Mingde asked him if he could help him transfer to Kyoto to be an official: "Brother, since you didn't reply to the letter, can you help him transfer?"

"Ali, tell me the truth. Since you asked, do you want to help him? Otherwise, you might have refused directly and would not have asked."

Since Shen Han had guessed it, and this time they were not talking in a letter, but face to face, he could naturally make it clear: "Brother, I really can't hide anything from you. Yes, Prefect Ruan and his wife helped me a lot, especially his wife Lan Xueyan. I have always wondered how to repay this favor. Later, Prefect Ruan told me that he wanted to go to Kyoto to be an official, so I wrote to ask you."

"If that's the case, why don't you tell me the truth?"

Shen Li felt that Shen Han had become different from before. He used to be a little dull, but now he had the feeling of an old fox, as if he could see through everything. And from his face, one could not tell anything, except for his calm cunningness.

This officialdom is really a test for people.

"I know the things and rules in the officialdom, but I'm afraid you'll be embarrassed. I'm doing this for your own good."

Shen Han chuckled: "Ali, I am always your brother, you can always tell me the truth, and do you think I am a fool? I will not do anything that is too difficult."

"I was wrong, big brother." Shen Li finally understood what Shen Han was concerned about. She suddenly realized that although it was for his own good, such a test was wrong for a family.

"Okay, big brother doesn't blame you. As for this matter, it can be done."

Liu Dahua looked at the brother and sister and smiled with relief. After all, they were all grown up, and there were many things that didn't need her, as their mother, to make decisions for them anymore. From now on, she only had to take care of the home for them. As for other things, they could just let them do whatever they wanted.

"You guys chat, I'll go to the kitchen and make something for Ali."

Shen Li's face fell: "Mom, I just finished eating."

"Then continue eating." After saying that, Liu Dahua walked out of the living room and went towards the kitchen.

Shen Han laughed and said, "Mom is doing this for your own good."

"Big brother, how about you eat it for me?"

"Forget it. Although the food is nutritious, the taste..." Shen Han shook his head, looking speechless.

Shen Li stared at him and said, "You should talk about the matter of Prefect Ruan."

"I'm in the Ministry of Personnel, which is responsible for the promotion of officials. Although my power is not great, I can still have a say. I've already made arrangements. There's no problem with his transfer to Kyoto, but the positions he can choose are limited, and they are all minor ones."

"In this case, we have to make it clear to him that although the prefect is in the local area, he is the head of a state. If he goes to Kyoto to be a minor official, it is better to stay in the state capital."

In fact, to put it bluntly, it is like choosing between the head of a chicken or the tail of a phoenix.

"We should meet him after the New Year and make things clear so that he can make his own choice. Even the smallest official in Kyoto is better than the local officials in the eyes of some people."

"Oh, then listen to Big Brother."

Shen Li suddenly thought of Guan Wenyi. Ever since he and Shen Han went to school together, they almost always came back together and did everything together. Although she saw him at home this time, she always felt that something was missing. Only now did she remember that someone was missing.

"Brother, is Guan Wenyi back?"

"No, they stayed in Kyoto for the New Year. After all, they don't have any close relatives here."
