"From what I see, you don't look like a girl from a small family who came out of the village and doesn't know anything. We have seen more than you, but we may not think everything you think."

Mrs. Shang also nodded, "Just tell us."

"Okay." Li Mumu nodded. If she refuses again, it would be bad. They are afraid that they will think she is pretentious. "Then I will tell you. If I say something wrong, you two sisters, please don't laugh at me."

"Just say it," Min Huilan said cheerfully.

Li Mumu said: "Actually, I think Li Yourang is only in the fourth rank now, maybe it is intentional. After all, the Li family in Longxi is powerful, and General Li has a heavy army and is very popular among the people. No matter which dynasty or generation he belongs to, They all...should be feared by the superiors."

"In my view of today's civil affairs, the Holy One should be a wise king. But even so, for General Li, he may avoid suspicion in some matters. The king is wise and his ministers are wise. Whether the Holy One doubts it or not is another matter. It is also good for him to take the initiative and express his attitude. The loyalty of a minister.”

"Therefore, General Li did not let his eldest son become a military general to avoid suspicion. He asked his eldest son to become a civil servant, and now he is only in the fourth rank. But he didn't know that the fourth rank was because the eldest son was obviously capable, but it was General Li who suppressed him. To be able to reach this fourth rank, I deliberately chose an incompetent eldest son, so that no matter how hard the eldest son works, he can only reach this fourth rank."

"If it's the former, once General Li relinquishes his military power and retires, he will wait for Li Xundao to soar into the sky, while the Li family will still be standing. If it's the latter, that's interesting. I'm afraid that General Li deliberately chose a useless one. Capable, so that I can rest assured that no matter how hard Li Xundao flutters, he won't be able to produce a single flower. Secretly, General Li may have other arrangements."

"Or, take the opportunity to quiet down in the future. Although it is not as powerful as before, it can still be stable." Li Mumu said.

No matter what it is, she admires Li Huailin.

Being able to retreat at the drop of a hat amid the flowers is not something that ordinary people can do.

"It's true when you say that." Min Huilan whispered, "Nowadays, it is said that Li Xundao's ability is average, and he is able to sit in the fourth rank now because of General Li's face. But with Li Xundao's ability, If I want to go higher, I'm afraid I won't be able to do it. Now, it's the end. From now on, it will be flat at best and won't rise."

"I just don't know if he is hiding his clumsiness on purpose or something." Min Huilan said, "We outsiders are not allowed to know about this kind of thing."

Mrs. Shang said: "If you ask me, if you can let your second son and your eldest daughter fight like this, your ability is not necessarily that high."

"Although most men ignore the affairs of the inner house, those who are really capable will have a stable inner house. It is not the men who manage it themselves. It is the wife who is good." Mrs. Shang said with some disdain, "But look at what he is looking for. The situation is now like this. Even outsiders know this little thing about his family. How can his ability be so high? If nothing else, at least the inner house is not strict. "

"That's right." Min Huilan nodded, "It turns out that when the old lady was here, there were no such things in the General's Mansion."

The three of them were chatting when the maid came over and led them to the table.

Everyone walked through the garden and came to the banquet place for the women.

Everyone gathered around the large circular table.

The clear water on the inside of the table floats slowly.

Dishes of delicate snacks were floating on the water.

It was actually a water mat.

Li Mumu has never been seen in modern times.

When I was reading Xiao's book before, I came across a store offering special water mats.

But looking at the photos, the scene is not that big, just a small circle of water, and the snacks are only a few fixed styles, mainly set meals.

She is busy with work and has no time to experience it.

Now I saw that it was like a countryman entering the city, and everyone was dazzled.

After being led to sit down by the maid, Li Mumu was surprised to find that she was actually sitting with Mrs. Shang and Mrs. Min.

Gu Shangqing is only of the sixth rank, but the husbands of Mrs. Shang and Mrs. Min are one of the fourth rank and the other of the fifth rank.

No matter how you look at it, there should be someone between her and the two of them.

Li Mumu didn't know whose family the others belonged to, so she could only ask Min Huilan quietly, "Sister Min, this position will not move me forward, right?"

Li Mumu did not say whether Mrs. Shang and Min Huilan were transferred back, so that they would not be upset by what they heard.

But both of them are smart people and understand it as soon as they hear it.

Knowing that Li Mumu's question was not unreasonable, he quietly looked at the seat in front of him.

Min Huilan knew the people present better than Mrs. Shang, so she whispered: "There is no problem with the seating, they are arranged in order. Even the female relatives of the same rank are arranged according to the importance of official positions in the same rank. Arrange this seat. People who work hard."

Li Mumu breathed out and said with a smile: "That's because I'm lucky to be able to sit with my two sisters."

Su Zhi'er happened to be sitting opposite Mrs. Shang with Mrs. Su, not far from Li Mumu.

Su Zhi'er couldn't help but look at Li Mumu. The more she looked at her, the more she felt that Li Mumu was an eyesore.

What happened this time?

Why does this woman want to occupy her position!

Su Zhi'er finally couldn't help it and asked Li Mumu, who was sitting diagonally across from her, "This madam looks strange, I've never seen her before."

Married women and unmarried women can be distinguished by their hairstyle.

Li Mumu knew at a glance that Su Zhi'er had not yet left the court, and thought to herself, how many married women can you know as a girl who has not yet left the court?

Li Mumu smiled and said, "My husband is a subordinate of General Shang. I just moved to Chong'an with my husband not long ago."

"Where did you move from?" Su Zhi'er asked again.

Li Mumu felt even more strange, but what Su Zhi'er asked was not a big question. Li Mumu just felt that there were so many people at the banquet and no one knew her. Why did this young lady take the initiative to ask her so many questions.

Moreover, although the question seemed ordinary, she didn't look at the other person's expression as if he had good intentions.

But Li Mumu still answered generously, "We moved from Anping Town. Before Anping Town, our family lived in Yong'an Village."

Su Zhi'er could hardly maintain her smile.

Sure enough it was her!

Why isn’t Li Mumu dead yet?

Delaying her time with her husband.

Su Zhi'er covered her mouth and smiled, "No wonder Madam's dress is different from ours."

When the others heard Su Zhi'er's words, they all laughed secretly.

No matter how much they laugh secretly, they are all sitting at the same table and everyone is doing the same thing. Could it be that Li Mumu still doesn't see it?

"That's true." Li Mumu smiled calmly, "We come from a small place. If it weren't for my husband's military exploits, our family would still be in Anping Town today. Anping Town is close to the border and is far inferior to Chong'an."

"This dress is the color that my elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law picked out when she went to town. My second sister-in-law made it for me with stitches and stitches. I cherish it very much." Li Mumu said, "I think this dress is very beautiful. Our family is not a wealthy one, so even if my husband has some success now, there is no need to waste anything."
