Jinger? Grandson of the old lady? What does she see? What's more, Li Yan is jealous, if he finds out that she met another man, he will definitely be annoyed.

"Grandma, my husband is still waiting for me, I should go back."

"What's the rush? You just came." The old lady held her hand tightly, obviously reluctant, "If you leave, it will be so boring."

"Heh, isn't Young Master Jing back? Would it be boring to listen to the opera with him?" Li Man smiled, and then looked at Manager Zhang, "Aunt Zhang, please take me out again."

Manager Zhang only looked at the old lady, waiting for her orders.

The old lady looked at Li Man with pity, "I'll let you sit and have fun, and just look at you, I just ran back and forth twice."

"Oh, I'll come to see you when I'm free later." Li Man said, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly reminded, "However, grandma, in the future, you must not make Aunt Zhang tired anymore. How hot it is to run outside every day."

"Then you said you're free, when will you be free? It's not on time, so what if I don't send someone to find you?" The old lady looked at Li Man aggrievedly.

Li Man was amused and confused, "Why don't you come once a month?" Quan should be filial to her grandmother.

Unexpectedly, the old lady didn't buy it, "One month? I'm so old, who knows how many months I can wait?"

no? It looks like the old lady has a strong body.

"So, how about coming once every seven days?" The old lady rolled her eyes and asked with a smile.

Li Man was stunned, dare to come to her place for vacation once a week? "Half moon?"

"Ten days." The old lady insisted.

"Deal." Li Man nodded.

"Okay, girl, counting from today, I will send someone to pick you up in ten days." The old lady said with a smile.

"Okay." Li Man also smiled.

The old lady still held her hand tightly, "Girl, are you really missing my grandson?"

"Another day." Li Man thought, even if she wanted to meet, she had to bring Li Yan and the others with her. Otherwise, it would be weird for the old lady to introduce herself to meet that young master alone.

"Hey." The old lady sighed softly, full of regret, "All right, Manager Zhang, let Man girl go out."

"Grandma, I'll come to see you again in ten days. Take care of yourself." Li Man bid farewell to the old lady, and followed her to leave by another road.

From the front, a little girl came over and helped the old lady to the theater.

Arriving here, several little girls immediately stood up to greet them.

"Old lady, where did you go just now? I just sang to a good point, and I want to call your old man to listen."

"Oh, just chatting with Man girl." The old lady sat down, looked towards the gate of the garden, and asked the maid next to her, "Didn't you say that Master Jing is back? Why hasn't he come?"

"Has Brother Jing come back?" Before the little girl beside her could answer, Miss Wu'er had already asked excitedly, and the eyes of all the other little girls lit up, cheering up one after another.

After waiting for a few days, the person finally arrived.

The serving maid didn't look at the little girls, but respectfully replied to the old lady, "Back to the old lady, Master Jing just came back from the racecourse, and he was about to take a bath and change clothes before he came."

Racecourse? So Brother Jing went to the racecourse? These little girls suddenly realized.

The old lady frowned and sighed, "Going to the racecourse in this hot day? Are you afraid of the heat?"

"No, according to the people who went with me, this is a forest that Mr. Liu's family bought in the suburbs, and it's very cool there." The servant girl replied.

"Mr. Liu?" The old lady thought for a while, then asked in surprise, "Is that the second boy of the Liu family from the capital?"

The little maid didn't know much, so she replied vaguely, "Probably so."

The old lady narrowed her eyes slightly, and didn't ask any more questions. After a while, she urged the little girl again, "Go and see Master Jing, are you ready?"

"Yes." The little girl had just taken two steps, when the old lady stopped her again, "Forget it, he might be tired from playing today, let him rest in the room, don't come, wait for the heat to subside , come to me again, I have something to say."

"Yes." The little maid agreed, then turned and left.

And the little girls who were full of expectations at the side suddenly showed a look of disappointment.

The old lady glanced at them, "I'm tired after watching the play for half a day, so I'll go back and have a rest first, and you don't have to wait on me anymore. Those who want to watch the play can continue watching, and those who don't want to go to the play can walk in the garden." Row."

Saying that, helped a maid get up, and slowly walked out of the garden.

Here, the little girls froze for a moment, and immediately, their eyes showed excitement, and when the old lady disappeared, Miss Wu'er was the first to stand up, put her hand on her forehead, and said delicately, "Oh, head I'm a little dizzy, sisters, please watch first, I'll go back to the house and lie down for a while."

After speaking, she took her little girl and went straight.

The rest of you look at me, I look at you, forget it, even lazy to find a reason, quickly got up and chased after that Wu'er.

Hmph, they could see clearly what she was thinking, it was false to go back to the house to rest, and it was true to go to see brother Jing.

At that time, Zhang Jingcai, the young master of the Zhang family, had packed everything up and planned to go to the garden to accompany grandma to listen to an opera, but seeing a few little girls scrambling to come to his own way from afar, he hurriedly dodged and hid behind the rockery.

He didn't come out until they passed by in a hurry, with a look of helplessness and disgust on his handsome face.

However, since they all came out, the old lady must be no longer in the garden, so Zhang Jing didn't rush into the garden, but turned around and walked towards the old lady's yard.

"Miss Li." Halfway through the walk, Manager Zhang suddenly thought of something, and said, "I forgot to mention your shop to the old lady."

"What's wrong?" Li Man looked at her suspiciously.

Manager Zhang said with a smile, "Naturally, it's up to you to recruit embroiderers. To be honest, you may not be able to recruit as many girls from my house as possible. It would be better to bring twenty girls from my house."

"Ah? It can't be done." Her shop, of course, has to use her own workers, and then the old lady's people. Isn't she in debt to others?

Since the old lady said that she was so kind to her only because she found love with her, she was willing to accept the old lady's kindness, but she only hoped that this kindness would be pure, and she didn't want to mix in these benefits.

Zhang Guanshi smiled, "There is nothing you can't do, anyway, they are idle when they are idle. There are a lot of poor maids in this mansion, so why do they use so many?"

"Can......"

"Besides, I won't let them do it for nothing. Don't you want to pay them?" Manager Zhang interrupted her and continued, "Miss Li, to tell you the truth, some time ago, the old lady I plan to lay off some girls to go out, but you don’t know, most of these girls have grown up here since they were young, what can they do if they go out? I am also worried, and I want to find a job to arrange for them. What a coincidence, your store has just opened and you still need to recruit workers, I can assure you that they will be no worse than the workers you recruited from outside."

Li Man looked at her suspiciously, as if trying to tell the truth from what she said.

Manager Zhang smiled helplessly, "Miss Li, can't you see it? The Zhang family..."

"Huh?" Li Man really didn't see anything, but she didn't intend to know the secret, "Aunt Zhang, if it's true, I can hire them, but we have to talk about the specifics. clear."

"Well, okay." Manager Zhang immediately nodded with a smile, "Then let's go back to the old lady's place and write the contract, and I'll let the girl choose twenty capable embroiderers herself, how about it?"

In this way, it would save her a lot of work. Li Man agreed after thinking about it. Anyway, recruiting is not recruiting, as long as she doesn't take advantage of others in terms of wages.

The two agreed to go back the same way and wanted to go to the garden, and happened to meet the little maid who had passed the old lady's message to the young master.

"Guard Zhang, the old lady is not in the garden anymore." The little girl went to Zhang Jing's place first, but there was no one there, and when she came back the same way, the people in the theater had left, and she happened to be going back to the old lady's place, when she bumped into Guanshi Zhang on the way. Yes, so, afraid that she would go the wrong way, I hurriedly said.

"Oh." Zhang Guanshi guessed that the old lady had gone back, so he took Li Man to the old lady's yard.

When they got to the old lady's side, Li Man stood under the eaves, waiting for Manager Zhang to go in and report.

There were talking and laughing voices in the room, and Li Man could hear them very clearly. There was a clear and pleasant male voice, and she guessed it must be the old lady's grandson.

I didn't think much about it, I was just a little worried that it would disturb the family happiness of my grandparents and grandchildren.

"Hey, isn't this Sister Man'er?" At this moment, a group of little girls came from the gate of the courtyard, and the leader, Miss Wu'er, recognized Li Man at a glance.

Immediately afterwards, the little girls came over together surrounded by the maids.

Li Man smiled politely at them.

"Why is Sister Man'er here? The old lady didn't let you in?" Miss Wu'er looked at Li Man with a slight sarcasm.

Just as Li Man was about to answer, Manager Zhang had already come out. Seeing such a group of people at the door, she was a little taken aback, "Ladies, are you here too?"

"Well, we want to come over and talk to the old lady." The little girls said nicely.

Zhang Guanshi was like a mirror in his heart, but he didn't point it out. He just said, "Oh, it's unfortunate that the ladies came here. The old lady is talking with the young master inside. Why don't you come back later? The old lady is afraid Still need to take a nap."

When the little girls heard that the young master was inside, where would they go? They pulled Zhang Guanshi one after another and asked him to report.

At this time, the old lady asked anxiously when she heard the commotion outside, "Nurse Zhang, didn't you say that Man'er is here? Why didn't you come in?"

"Oh." Manager Zhang was about to speak, but Wu'er was already rushing to speak, "Old lady, it's me, Wu'er wants to come in and talk to you."

Manager Zhang's face turned cold, but he heard the old lady's deep voice inside, "Come in."

Wu'er waited for the little girl, and immediately squeezed Guanshi Zhang away, rushing in.

Seeing Guanshi Zhang's annoyed expression, Li Man pursed her lips and started to chuckle.

"Oh, I made Miss Li laugh." Manager Zhang said shyly.

Li Man didn't care, but seeing these little girls behaving like this, she was a little curious about what kind of young master Jing was.

"Miss Li, please." Compared to the restless little girls, the demure Li Man looked more like a lady from a family. Zhang Guanshi paid more attention to her, so he didn't let the little girl wait on her, and personally closed the curtain for her.

There were so many people inside at once, it was obviously inconvenient to talk about things, "How about, Aunt Zhang, you can go back to the old lady later on this matter, I think it's a bit inconvenient today."

"But since we're all back, let's go in and say hello anyway, the old lady is still waiting in the room." Manager Zhang said with a smile, and he still didn't let go of the hand that opened the curtain.

Li Man didn't know much about the ancient etiquette, so when someone raised the curtain for her, she just took it as politeness, and followed her in.

She is no stranger to the old lady's house, but there were few people last time. This time, the originally spacious hall became a little crowded due to more people.

As soon as Li Man came in, all the little girls looked at her.

"Sister Man'er." The little girls knew how to be polite. When they saw her coming in, they all got up, blessed her and saluted her.

Li Man had only seen this way of saluting on TV. It stands to reason that when others saluted her, she would politely bless her body and count it as a return.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she made a move, the girls chuckled lightly.

Then look at Li Man who is covered in coarse clothes, her hair is only pulled up in a bun, and a plain wooden hairpin that can no longer be plain. The eyes of the little girls can no longer hold back the look of ridicule and contempt. Where did you get such an earthy girl? It's too bad to be on the stage.

After the little girls sat down, they bit each other's ears and laughed softly.

"Sister Man'er, didn't anyone teach you these manners?" One of the girls in pink said, and then smiled again with her lips pursed.

The other girls also laughed. Although the laughter was not loud, it was particularly piercing.

The old lady turned cold, glanced at the girls displeased, and waved to Li Man, "Man girl, come and sit with grandma."

"Yeah." Li Man also felt the disdainful eyes of the little girls, and smiled lightly. She was polite in return, and it didn't matter if she was wrong. Besides, since they were disdainful, she didn't need to do it again.

He only smiled slightly, then walked towards the old lady and sat down next to her.

The faces of the little girls changed immediately, they logically said that kind of mistake, and were picked out in public and said that they should be ashamed to blush or run out crying, who knows, Li Man is so cheeky As if nothing happened, and sat beside the old lady, that position can be taken by anyone?

Li Man doesn't care about other people, and neither does the old lady, she just looked at Li Man happily, and said with a smile,

"Haha, are you reluctant to part with grandma?"

Li Man smiled, "Grandma is so nice, of course I can't bear it, but I have something to tell grandma when I come back this time."

"Oh, what's the matter?" the old lady asked curiously.

"This." Seeing so many people in the room, Li Man hesitated, and finally, she looked at Guanshi Zhang standing aside, "Why don't I ask Guanshi Zhang to explain it to you later."

"Going back to the old lady is not a big deal. Ms. Li wants to open a clothing store and is planning to recruit embroiderers. I think there are quite a few girls who know how to do needlework in our house. They are usually idle, so it's better to send them to Li. Doing some work in the girl's shop can earn some wages and help Miss Li, which is better than hiring people from outside, what do you think, old lady." Zhang Guanshi said.

"Heh." The old lady smiled lightly, "I'm doing something big, that's all, you can decide, it's better if you have work, otherwise, I'm really worried about letting them all go out of the house. However, you can continue to explain that when you work with Ms. Li, you are not allowed to steal or play tricks, otherwise, I will not obey."

"That's natural." Zhang Guanshi said.

Listening to the old lady's words, Li Man believed what Guan Zhang had said before. If there were too many maids in Zhang's house and they were about to lay off staff, it would be a good deed for her to take over.

"Then, grandma, if it's okay, Aunt Zhang and I will go pick out the embroiderer first." Li Man was about to get up, but the old lady grabbed her wrist and sat down with her, "What's the hurry? Want to leave before your butt is hot?"

Li Man smiled, "Grandma, am I busy? I want to open the business as soon as possible. It would be best if I can get the workers' affairs done today. By the way, even though they belong to you, I have to try their skills." That's fine, I don't want it if it's bad."

"Don't you trust me, grandma? There are still some bad people under my hands?" The old lady smiled as she spoke, "I asked you to see me before, but you said that your husband is waiting. Now, everyone is here Now, even if you don't see me, I will see you."

"Huh?" Li Man was stunned for a moment, and saw the old lady beckon to the young man who was sitting quietly beside her, "Jing'er, this is the Man'er girl I always mentioned to you. Come here and salute."

After saying that, the young man Shi Shiran walked up to Li Man, arched his hands, and said with a slight smile, "I heard that the old lady mentioned the girl's name earlier, and I finally met today. Hello, Miss Li, Xiaosheng is very polite. "

Pfft——Li Man was almost not laughed at by his polite words, and thought it would only appear in the drama.

Li Man couldn't help but also looked at the young man in front of him. His face was like the moon of the Mid-Autumn Festival, and his color was like the flowers of spring dawn. Well, she was wearing such a thin purple shirt and sitting in the crowd. The little girl is also curious about the male voice I heard before, but unexpectedly...

Being scrutinized by Li Man, Zhang Jingbaixi's cheeks blushed slightly. He knew that he was so beautiful, and there were many girls who were crazy about his appearance, but it was really the first time for Li Man to scrutinize him so presumptuously. indivual.

Immediately, the little girls sitting there expressed their displeasure, and secretly scolded Li Man for being shameless.

On the other hand, Li Man felt as if she had entered the Grand View Garden. She was a kind old man, surrounded by beautiful girls. By the way, the most indispensable thing was that the old lady had a beautiful young grandson beside her.

"Girl, look, I didn't lie, right? Jing'er is no worse than yours, right?" The old lady looked at her grandson proudly, the more she looked at her, the more she liked her.

Li Man smiled lightly, and nodded slightly towards Zhang Jing, "Hi, my name is Li Man, and I've heard grandma tell you about you before. It's really nice to see you today."

"Haha, I'll just say yes." The old lady was very happy to hear that Li Man also praised her.

Li Man didn't think there was anything wrong. The old man cherished his grandson. When others praised her, he was happy, just like when she was a sick child, but her grandmother took her out to play. Could talk about that for months.

This is how the older generation loves the younger generation.

But Zhang Jing frowned slightly at Li Man's usual polite words, so direct, without the slightest bit of female restraint...

On the side, the little girl Meifen was keenly aware of the displeasure on Zhang Jing's expression, and she snickered from the bottom of her heart, and then, she wanted to add fuel to the fire in a soft voice, "Sister Man'er, just now you said to open a shop? What's the matter?" thing?"

Didn't expect the little girl to talk to him? Li Man smiled at her, "It's just an ordinary clothing store, and it hasn't opened yet."

"Sister Man'er wants to start her own business?" Mei Xue immediately widened her eyes in surprise.

The other girls also stared at Li Man in disbelief, as if she had done such an outrageous thing.

"A woman is virtuous without talent, not to mention doing business in public? That's something the most inferior people would do." Wu'er frowned and looked at Li Man in confusion, "Sister Man'er , Could it be that you have encountered some difficulties? I see Sister Man'er's clothes, it seems... To be honest, even the woman in my house, Ye Xiang, is better dressed than you."

Li Man instantly understood that these little girls came to taunt her collectively. Could it be that they regarded her as a potential love rival? That's right, seeing how the old lady treated her so well, she couldn't help them think so.

However, she is so innocent.
