Chapter 988: Ruthless Young Master!

ll go pick up dried goods to sell in the county town and make some money."Even Zhao Yuru, who was usually taciturn, spoke up.Several children even stomped their feet and shouted, “We can help too, ear...It's Jia Yin who is busy preparing dinner, the dishes are quite abundant, planning to gather Zhang Shenyi, Village Head, Liu Biaotou and other elders. 。"Second Uncle, you're back just in time." 。The village head said he hasn't tasted my cooking in ages, so I made a few extra dishes. In a while, you can join everyone and have a few more drinks. 。Jia Yin was very happy to see her second uncle return, and said, “I have already sent people to pick up Sixth Brother and Seventh Brother, as well as Mr. Wen. They will be here soon.” 。Li Lao'er didn't know what that kid Mu Xu was planning, so he didn't say much. He just smiled and replied, "Alright, your sixth brother will be going to his post tomorrow. Consider this a way to fulfill 。This reminded Jiayin, she quickly called Shui Ling, “Bring out the candied fruit jars from our family’s cellar, carefully, in case Sixth Brother forgets them when he leaves tomorrow.” 。The Li brothers, there are seven of them, each with their own preferences. 。Li Ge'er especially loved sweets, but his family was afraid he would get cavities, so they controlled his sugar intake from a young age. 。But Li Ge'er had a little quirk. When he studied at night, he couldn't focus without something sweet. 。Then Jiayin used the honey of space to pickle the fruits of space, making a lot of candied fruit. 。This way, I satisfied my brother's craving and it's good for his body too. 。Of course, he still only got a small dish every night, but this also made Li Ge happy. 。It's not just because he likes to eat, but also because this is something his sister made especially for him. 。This time when Li Ge went to take up his post, the family hired a tutor and brought along servants. They even prepared over ten horse-drawn carriages of luggage. 。Jia Yin made a few more jars of candied fruit and took them with her brother. 。At dusk, the roosters in each household crowed as the hens returned to their coops. Even the old yellow dog lying at the entrance of the village ran inside, bringing an end to the day's bustle and activity. 。Li Laoer guessed that his eldest son must still be thinking about home, so he quickly wrote a letter to reassure his eldest son and let him go to his post with peace of mind. 。After finishing all these things, the village head and others also arrived. 。The old Li family house, silent for so long, was bustling with activity once again. 。Ten years have passed, and Suijin Beach is no longer the desolate scene it once was. 。The villagers no longer had the former panic and embarrassment. 。Now, the orchards and hot spring valleys are constantly flowing with money. 。The emerald cucumber vines planted in the field bore silver fruits. 。Pig farms and chicken coops, guaranteeing that the villagers will never worry about having meat for every meal. 。And not to mention those workshops, even old people can earn dozens of cash just by chatting and doing odd jobs every day. 。Both the boys and girls had chores to do, and the little ones went to school. 。The village head and Liu Biaotou and the others were very dedicated. They arranged all the tasks in an orderly manner. 。It can be said that whether the Li family is at Suijin Beach or not, everyone else's life doesn't change much. 。But seeing the Li family's courtyard cold and deserted, even more so at night when it was pitch black, everyone felt a hollowness in their hearts, an emptiness that just wouldn't go away. 。Today, the Li family finally opened their doors. A banquet was set up, lanterns were hung beneath the eaves, and laughter and chatter echoed far and wide. 。The whole village seemed to have been injected with fresh blood, coming alive. 。After the men from each household finished their meal, they would gather together with laughter and chatter, sharing the latest news from the city. 。Even the elderly, young children and women came around, standing outside the door, whispering gossip and enjoying the excitement. 。When Jia Yin heard the noise, she went out to greet them. 。The elderly and women waved their hands, while the children hid behind their mothers, peeking out and giggling. 。Since beautiful words were not enough, Water Spirit took a winnowing basket and filled it with melon seeds, peanuts, and some snacks to pass around at the door. 。Now that everyone's doing well, they don't really need these things to eat. 。Anything that comes from the Li family is, in their eyes, the best. 。

A woman chatted idly with Shui Ling, asking, "Shui Ling girl, the Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon. Are we still making zongzi in our village this year"

"Yes, yes. With the Fourth Madam not at home, this festival doesn't seem as fun anymore..."

The Four Ladies had already started preparing for the festival last year, and we followed suit, working hard but happily. 。The women nearby also agreed. 。Shuiling then laughed and said, "Of course we have to pack zongzi for festivals. The county princess mentioned it a few days ago..." 。Don't worry, sisters-in-law. The county princess remembers. 。

Everybody, what materials can you prepare, get them ready first

"Then the county princess will surely come back and work with everyone!" "Really Haha, that's great!" "When the county princess returns, the village will be lively again." 。The women were all smiling and discussing what ingredients to prepare. 。This one has a bag of red adzuki beans, that one has a bag of jujubes, and in no time they've gathered quite a bit. 。Jia Yin listened to Shui Ling, her heart feeling a little heavy. 。Actually, she had completely forgotten about this, thankfully it's not too late. 。In the future, she should still come back often, otherwise, over time, people's hearts will drift apart. 。When the moon was high in the sky, the feast at Li's house had just ended. 。The village head and Dr. Zhang went back to sleep, while Li Laoer drank some sobering tea and called in Brother Li and Brother Mao to his study for a talk. 。Meow Meow is fine in Kyoto. Tomorrow, he will go to his new post with his brother and stay there for seven or eight days before returning. It's a good chance to relax. 。Moreover, since Brother Li and the new bride have just arrived, if there's anything they need, their own brothers will lend a hand. 。Jia Yin gave them some fruit and then went back to her room. 。Shui Ling and Shui Yun were busy all day, driven to the kang in the bedroom, and soon fell asleep. 。Jia Yin couldn't sleep, so she went into the virtual space to play for a while. Just as she came out, she heard a knock on the window. 。 She thought of a possibility, her heart beating wildly. 。The person outside was probably getting impatient, so they just pushed open the window and jumped in. 。Jia Yin picked up the feather duster from beside the table and swatted at him! Mu Xu just landed and was hit, suppressing his voice with a giggling laugh, "Is the county princess angry Then get swatted a few more times!" Jia Yin rolled her eyes, tossed the feather duster back, and asked, "How did you come back" Mu Xu plopped down on the edge of the table, poured himself some tea, grabbed the snack plate, and gobbled it all up. 。Jia Yin also didn't speak, she found a place farthest from him and sat down. 。Seeing this, Mu Xu wouldn't dare to delay any longer. He quickly swallowed some snacks and told everything in detail. 。My third uncle, in fact, was cast out by my grandfather years ago. 。I originally wanted to leave him some face, but he took advantage of my young age and, perhaps not knowing this, still tried to take control of me. 。Yesterday, I escorted the young master to a town. There lived a man from our county who was honest and straightforward. His name was Su. So I invited him to join me at the academy. In front of Dean Zhou and several other gentlemen, I clearly explained things to my third uncle. 。From then on, if the old geezer behaved himself and lived an honest life, I'd treat him just like any ordinary clansman and visit him often. 。If he refuses to stop, I will let the entire Xin Du and Tian Wu know that he was abandoned by his family. 。 “A person from a branch family, selfish and contributing nothing to the clan, what right does he have to point fingers at me, the eldest grandson!” Jia Yin was so startled that her mouth slightly opened. She thought Mu Xu had found a way to persuade Mr. Tang, but she didn't expect Mu Xu to be so ruthless, actually tearing off Mr. Tang's face! Mu Xu took another piece of snack and stuffed it into his mouth, mumbled, "The young master actually knows about Mr. Su's existence. If I hadn't stepped forward to ask someone, the young master would have gone himself" 。He wasn't afraid of being found out by the academy and being scolded for betraying his ancestors!

Jia Yin's heart warmed, she replied, "I was wondering why Big Brother left so happily, so there was a solution!" 。He always spares no effort to protect me from being wronged, but this time, who knows how many years it will take until we meet again 。Mu Xu thought about the events of the past few days, and nervously touched his nose. 。marketplace, but no one knew where they were headed.With such a thing happening, who would dare to stay and continue eating The Si Hai Ju was instantly empty.The shopkeeper was helpless and could only...
