ith such a sudden incident happening, the diners naturally wanted to know what was going on, especially since they wouldn't have to pay for their meals.Then, news that the Chen family had run into a w...Mrs. Liu advised, "It's just like all the boys in our families—they can't be contained at all. Let alone Jia'an and Jiaxi, even my own Zhimín and Xiujie probably have grass growing in their hearts. Who knows what schemes they are cooking up They might even start making a fuss to get us to agree to let them go with them!"

But the house can't possibly follow their wishes, it has to be next year at this time!

"That's right, it's not like being at home. They still need to calm down and adjust." Tao Hongying also agreed.

This made Zhao Yuru sigh along with her, "The children haven't gone out yet, and I've already started missing them..."

Everyone burst into laughter.

"There's no way around it, all mothers in the world have the same feelings."

"No wonder there's an old saying, 'Don't let boys be raised by us. A loving mother spoils her son!'"

Thus, everyone sat under the grapevine, chatting and laughing, enjoying the breeze, quite relaxed.

When the sun began to set, the men in the front yard finally dispersed.

Li Zhensheng and Li Lao'er were so happy they both drank themselves into a stupor and couldn't even see the guests off.

Fortunately, even though today was a big banquet, all the guests were family. Nobody caused any trouble.

Li Laosan saw off the guests at the door with Jiaren and Ligouer, occasionally chatting and laughing with everyone.

Once everyone had left, Jiarren and Li Ge'er instinctively rubbed their faces.

My face is about to cramp from smiling....

Li Laosan chuckled and patted his nephews' shoulders, "Now you guys are also supporting our family, these kinds of social gatherings you need to slowly get used to. The more times you go, the more natural it will become."

Jiārén and Lǐgē'er nodded. After being poured a glass of wine just now, they were also a bit dizzy and soon returned to their rooms to sleep.

Soon, both inside and outside the courtyard were cleaned up, and the villagers all went back to rest.

The Li family courtyard had fallen into a kind of quiet after the bustle.

Li Laotai was originally going to hug her granddaughter and coax her to sleep, but she fell asleep first.

Being her age, she had been anxiously anticipating the results of He Ren and Li Ge's exams for days. Now that it was finally over, she felt completely relieved and couldn't help but feel exhausted.

Jia Yin ate too much, her stomach wasn't feeling well, and she hadn't been back for a long time. She couldn't fall asleep at all right now.

So, she quietly got down to the ground.

Shui Ling was dozing off outside when she suddenly saw the young mistress and jumped in surprise, "Miss, where are you going"

Jia Yin thought for a moment, then asked, "Shui Ling, do you want to go home We could head back tonight and come back tomorrow. It's a bit rushed, but at least you can go see your family."

"Great! Great!" Shui Ling nodded repeatedly, her face beaming with joy.

But she still remembered the important matter and asked, "Miss, do you have any orders for me"

“Come on, let's go next door. You can't even go home by yourself You need Big Uncle to take you everywhere.” Jiayin pulled Shui Ling’s hand and ran straight next door.

As Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying were talking under the eaves in the front yard, I casually asked them where they were going. They said they were going to the neighbor's house, so I didn't stop them.

Winter Plum was airing out the bedding. They had been gone for several days, and the bedding kept in a box had a faint musty smell. After airing it out, it would soften and have the scent of sunshine again.

Ye Shan was working on carpentry at the doorway of a private room, carving a wooden sword in his hands.

Upon seeing the young master approaching, both husband and wife stood up to greet him.

Jia Yin pulled them to the eaves and told them about selecting some manpower for her brothers at Zheng Jiazhuang.

This matter, Ye Shan and Dong Mei had discussed in private long ago. Even if the young master didn't give orders today, they would still make preparations.

Jia Yin's requests were simple. Besides her brother Jia Ren, who had a servant named Gou Sheng as his attendant, the other brothers didn't have any servants or maids.

In the academy during normal times, my brothers and I would all gather together. It wasn't so bad.

But if I'm out and about later on, and there's no one around to help me, it'll be impossible.

This time, especially, Jiā'ān and Jiāxǐ are going out.

It's always better to be prepared when you go out.

Although both Brother Li and Brother Mao are at the academy, one can't favor one over the other...

So, this time we need seven men from Zhengjiazhuang.

No matter your age, you must learn martial arts. It allows you to protect yourself and your master.

For companions like Brother Li and Brother Mao, it's best to choose someone of a similar age who can grow together. This way, they will be more loyal in the future and their interactions will be more pleasant.

Ji'an and Ji xi have rather volatile tempers, it would be best to find two more level-headed individuals who can offer some guidance when things get heated.

Jia Huan usually spent his days at the restaurant, never leaving home and avoiding books. He needed someone quiet, or preferably skilled with a knife, to help him with the busy work of chopping vegetables.

As for Jia Ren needing to add another slightly older assistant who can go out occasionally or handle some minor matters, it's more secure.

Last is Jiayi...

Let's just have Big Mountain Uncle take him along.

After all, no matter how mysterious and formidable the Zheng Family Manor is, it's unlikely that any young man would catch their eye...

So many random and complicated conditions, it's really troublesome.

But Ye Shan listened very carefully, and after repeating it once more to make sure there were no mistakes, he got up and went to look for Jiayi.

Shui Ling also hurried back to pack her belongings.

Over the past few months, she and Shuiyun had saved up some money and a few good pieces of material.

At her main home, they ate well and dressed well; these things were basically unused.

This time, I'm sending it back to patch up at home, also to let my family know that they are doing well and don't have to worry about me.

When the sky was ablaze with sunset, Ye Shan hurried in a carriage, with Shui Ling inside. Jia Yi and Liu Yang rode horses alongside, heading towards Zhengjiazhuang...

The next day at noon, Jia Ren and Li Ge'er were dragged by Jia An for a walk in the orchard. Rarely did Jia Huan not go to the wine shop, staying home to rest for the day.

Several brothers found a lot of Black Star seedlings in the orchard. They picked bunches of Black Stars and ate them until their mouths were smeared black, looking like they had grown beards.

The front of the long robe was also densely fastened with dodder seeds.

Jiarren rarely got to be mischievous with his younger brothers, and he was having a good time playing. But at this moment, he felt a pang of heartache for his clothes.

So, he called his younger brothers to the stream outside the village to wash their hands and tidy up their clothes.

A few days ago, it rained, and the little river finally escaped its fate of drying up at any moment. Although it is still a trickle now, it is much better than before!

As soon as the boys washed away the black stains from their mouths, they became restless again. They jumped into the river for a water fight, dug a sand moat to catch fish, and then went crazy playing again.

Jiārén lay on a large stone by the shore, a straw hat shading his face. He was drowsy from the sun.

At this time, a carriage with two horses drove in from outside the archway.

The boys, thinking guests had arrived, all jumped ashore and peeped out.

"When the results were announced, Jia Yi chuckled and greeted them, "Since I wasn't home, didn't you guys sneakily eat some good stuff behind my back Don't think that by cleaning your mouths, I wouldn't know!"

Jia Ren also smiled, Jia Xi, Jia An and Mao Ge'er even rushed forward, shouting to ride horses with their brother.

Jia Yi and Liu Yang readily dismounted, allowing their younger brothers to take their horses.

Jixi and Ji'an were on one team, while Ligouer and Maogouer were on the other. The four of them were overjoyed.

Jia Ren and Jia Huan also stepped forward, accompanying their younger brothers as they walked home.

But in a moment, the crowd entered the village.

Before the family of officials could settle in their new home, as soon as the carriage door opened, a number of people jumped out...

Here are three more chapters ~~e curious too.They had a suspicion in their hearts, but they couldn't believe it!Wang Sheng was incredibly arrogant and urged loudly, "Gentlemen, let's just announce the results!"Mr. Mo Mei glanced at...
