away her tears and couldn't help but laugh. 。Jiayin also blushed, how come this old-age care meme just won't go away 。She's just a little girl, she can't possibly say something like "marry me" or "wor...Li Zhensheng said, "This thing can be sold in a restaurant with the dishes, customers will definitely like it."
Wenjuan immediately said, "I'll write down the recipe for Uncle later. It was taught to me by Funiu, and it's very simple to make. They sell well here at the academy too, making about three or forty taels of silver a month!"
Li Zhensheng nodded, and then Li Laotai asked Wen Mr., "Is the government office busy Has this delayed your work"
"No, Auntie. I was free this afternoon and heard about this, so I came along." Mr. Wen said with a smile.
After some idle chatter, Yēsān accompanied Lǐlǎosān back from the academy.
Li Laosan was drenched in sweat. As soon as he entered the house, he apologized to his elder brother, "Big brother, second brother, it's my fault for not watching the kids properly. I almost let them get into trouble."
Li Zhensheng waved his hand, pulled his younger brother down to sit beside him, and comforted: "People want to scheme against us, how can we stop them It's not your fault!"
"Usually we just act like we're the big shots, leaving our kids here and you and your siblings have been taking good care of them... If anyone should apologize, it should be us!"
Li Laoer also chimed in, "That's right, and Jia Ren and the others are all grown up now. Experiencing a little bit of danger is good for them, it prevents them from becoming pampered and out of touch with the world."
Only then did Li Laosan feel a little better.
Mr. Wen finished the fruit drink in his hand and said, "What's going on Tell me in detail, so we can discuss how to deal with it!"
Li Laosan was tongue-tied, but he knew best of all, so he spoke slowly.
Lastly, he also took out the small piece of paper he had found inside the wooden sign.
Mr. Wen took a look and frowned, "The person behind this really put in effort. There's been a riddle craze going on in the city recently, and these two are among them!"
"Moreover, the person who did this has quite good writing skills. If they were caught during an exam, they would definitely be considered cheating and there would be no leniency."
Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer both had grim expressions. Li Laoer said, "If students were jealous of Jiaren and Liguer over trivial matters like academics, it shouldn't have taken this much effort. Besides, they wouldn't have the ability to plan and scheme so meticulously."
Mr. Wen nodded, "There must be someone backing him up."
"Jia Yin looked at Ye Shan and asked, "Uncle Da Shan, have you heard any news about the bad people from going into the city"
Ye Shan stepped forward and bowed, replying: "I've only managed to hear a few simple pieces of information. These two students, one is a distant relative of the Wang family, and the other seems to have a sister who married into the Yan family."
Wang family Yan family
All eyes turned to each other, and when they finally understood, their expressions were mixed.
The Wang family, needless to say, is left with the consequences of Li Zhensheng's marriage into the family. Even now, the eldest son of the Wang family still wants to trip up Li Lao Er!
On the surface, they appear harmless, but behind closed doors, they are like venomous snakes, requiring constant vigilance.
What's surprising is the Yan family.
The Yan family has moved away, returned to their hometown. If one didn't bring it up deliberately, everyone would have forgotten about this family.
After all, the former Lord Yan is now Li Yong. He has married and had children, and settled down in the new village.
This is Zhou Fu’s elder sister, and they rarely visit each other…
Could these two forces joining hands against the Li family be a coincidence, or was it a long-planned scheme!
Nevertheless, Old Madam Li spoke first, “No matter what, the previous grievances with the Wang family and the Yan family, they were in the wrong first. Our Li family has a clear conscience.”
"Now they've taken the initiative to scheme against us, and we absolutely can't let them off lightly! Otherwise, others will follow suit, and our family won't have a peaceful day."
Everyone nodded. Li Zhensheng said, "First of all, we have to separate these two students and prevent them from being near the Jia brothers. As for the rest, we can discuss it later!"
Li Laer thought for a moment and proposed, "Why don't we return the favor Since they tampered with the amulets, why not find an opportunity to switch the tokens"
"On the examination grounds, if they frame Jiaren and Lig'er, then let the two children demand equal treatment and check everyone. Then, those who framed them will be the unlucky ones!"
Li Zhensheng agreed, "That's like lifting a stone to smash one's own foot!"
But Mr. Wen had a different opinion, "Let's think about it again, and wait until Jiaren comes home from school to see what he thinks."
Li Zhensheng and Li Lao'er, of course, wouldn't object. Mr. Wen was Jia Ren's teacher, and now that Mr. Wen was speaking up, he also intended to use this incident to teach his disciples a lesson. They were grateful beyond words.
Soon, after some idle chatter, the academy dismissed for the day.
Jīa'ān, Jīaxǐ and Māo gē'er were thinking about the good things at home, they ran very fast, as a result, when they pushed open the gate of the courtyard, they saw their elders, they were really surprised.
The three mischievous boys instinctively started to reflect, wondering if they had caused any trouble recently...
Jiarren and Liguer followed behind, discussing their studies as they walked.
Resulting in Jiarren seeing his younger brothers blocking the door, he asked, "Why aren't you going in"
The three little boys giggled and quickly hid behind their eldest brother.
Jiarren saw the lineup under the eaves and immediately understood. He glared at his younger brothers, then led them forward to pay their respects.
Li Zhensheng laughed and said, "Go wash your hands and faces, change into clean clothes and come back. I have something important to tell you."
All of Jia Ren's brothers responded and rushed to the well to draw water, washing away the sweat from their heads and faces. Then they ran back to their rooms to change their clothes.
Finally, I managed to look like a student again and sat back down with the elders to talk.
Wenjuan took Shuiyun and Shuiling for another round of fruit drinks. The boys gulped down half a cup each, like thirsty seedlings that had received rain, their spirits immediately lifted.
Jia An and Jia Xi secretly winked at their younger sister, wondering what the elders were here for.
Jia Yin giggled and hid behind her uncle, making faces. This made Jia An and Jia Xi so angry that their heads were about to explode!
"Alright, stop that!" Old Lady Li saw the children's antics and patted her granddaughter, pulling Jia Yin to sit beside her.
Then, she said: "Before, you were young, and when there were things happening at home, we didn't tell you because we were afraid that you wouldn't be able to help and would only worry yourselves. So, the family has always protected you."
"Now that you're all grown up, there are family matters I can finally share with you. Especially since something happened yesterday, someone has their eyes on you and started plotting against you. It's only right I tell you about it!"
A few brothers heard this and were a little confused. Still, Jia Ren reacted first, his face changing color. Li Ge'er also widened his eyes in surprise.
Home An and Home Xi jumped up afterward, "Grandma, what are you talking about Who would scheme against us!"
Only Mao Ge, the youngest, still didn't understand...
Li Laotai waved her hand, motioning for her grandchildren to sit down. Then she recounted yesterday's events in detail, and finally patted the plump granddaughter beside her, sighing: "It's still your sister who is meticulous and found out about this promptly."
Otherwise, you might only know when things happen, but it will be too late by then...
Jiā Rén and Lǐ Gē'ěr's faces were already beyond description, both brothers' eyes were red.
They wake up at the fifth watch every day and study all night long, working hard to get good grades. They want to live up to their family's support and their own hard work!
Unbeknownst to them, someone would actually accuse them of cheating during the exam, cutting off their path to success!
Once accused and proven guilty of cheating, they would become a disgrace to scholars, unable to take the civil service examinations ever again, and even their families would be implicated...n if someone wants to help, they have to think carefully. It is truly vicious!"His ruthlessness towards his younger brother, if applied to work, would have made him a first-rank official by now, inste...
