Chapter 516: Second Uncle, let’s join forces!
If Liu Kui and Wang Sheng had succeeded and actually put croton powder in the food in the cafeteria, he would probably have the worst diarrhea.
Because he eats the most at every meal, and his life may be in jeopardy!
Another classmate also said with emotion: "People say that biting dogs don't bark, but Liu Kui and Wang Sheng bark quite happily on weekdays. I didn't expect them to have such deep scheming!"
Jiaren nodded and sighed: "I thought they just disliked me a little. We are all classmates, so just be patient and don't care about them.
“Who would have thought that they would act so arrogantly, not only wanting to cut off my path to scientific research, but also making life difficult for the entire academy!”
Suddenly, a student who was usually very calm saluted Tong Jiaren and said, "Jiaren, we want to thank you.
“Your family discovered this matter in advance. If you wanted to fight back against Liu Kui and Wang Sheng in the examination room, it would be easy. But you didn’t do that. Instead, you chose to save our academy. You really understand the righteousness.”
Jiaren quickly waved his hands and said in a low voice: "No, this is what I should do. Seriously speaking, these two people also wanted to punish me, and they almost brought trouble to the academy and everyone. If you don't blame me, I am already very happy. ”
"Okay, okay!" Fatty's classmate stopped them from thanking each other and said, "Instead of thanking each other like this, why don't you two do something practical? You can take care of today's lunch!"
Several classmates nearby also started cheering.
Jiaren said, "Sit down, my fourth aunt is in the cafeteria today. I'll ask her to work hard and cook some good dishes."
"Your fourth aunt is the chef of Cyclamen's private kitchen? Last time I went home for the holiday, my uncle said that I couldn't even get a head start!" The fat classmate was so excited that his eyes were shining.
He kept urging Jiaren, "Hurry up, hurry up, please make sure Auntie prepares two good dishes for us. When I get home, I will make sure to feast on my uncle, so that I don't have to worry about him always talking in my ears and eating again." What a good thing!”
Everyone laughed when they heard it, and the noise was very lively.
Jiaren got up and went to the kitchen.
Orange Mrs. Li and Jiayin had already moved over and were talking to Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying.
They were originally worried about Jiaren's classmates complaining about him and the Li family.
Although Liu Kui and Wang Sheng were not at fault for this matter, without the personal grudges between the Li family and the Wang family and the Yan family, I am afraid that this matter would not have been brought to the academy.
Fortunately, Jiaren came over and said that the classmates did not complain at all, they just wanted to try the private kitchen dishes.
Tao Hongying immediately responded happily, "I originally thought that your uncle and the others were going to have lunch with Dean Zhou and others. I prepared a lot of ingredients, but they dispersed.
"Anyway, I have sorted it out, and I will open a table for you and your classmates."
But Jiaren quickly waved his hand, not wanting his aunt to be too tired, "Fourth aunt, thank you for your hard work. Just cook two dishes for the classmates to try. In addition, we will make a set meal, and there will be a lot of dishes. The weather is hot. Auntie, please take a rest and don’t worry about me so much.”
Hearing what her nephew said, Tao Hongying was particularly happy that he was so filial and sensible, so she said, "Go and accompany your classmates. Remember to sit in the private room. You don't have to worry about these little things."
Jiaren had no choice but to go back.
Mrs. Li and Jiayin couldn't help much, so they went back to the small courtyard.
Li Zhensheng and Mr. Wen had something to do and went back to the city.
Li Lao'er didn't know why, but he stayed behind. When he saw his mother and niece coming back, Li Lao'er welcomed them and talked under the shady eaves.
“Mom, last night my eldest brother, my third brother, and Mr. Wen slept together. We all felt that the children at home should not study hard and should be taken out to see the world.
“Jiaren and Brother Li will definitely take the scientific examination and become officials in the future. Brother Mao is still young and is uncertain for the time being. The three of them can wait.
“Jia Xi and Jia An are obviously not good at studying. We will have to find another way out for them in the future. They have been in the academy for so long and are much more sensible and stable, but their studies are average and they mostly play.
“How about we let them take leave two or three times a year from now on and follow the family’s fleet south to broaden their horizons and gain insights. What do you think?”
Old Mrs. Li pulled the cattail leaf fan and fanned twice hard, but she still couldn't get rid of her anxiety.
Actually, she thought a lot last night. When the children are older, she can no longer hold them all under her wings like an old hen, longing for a hint of wind and rain.
Even if she wanted to do so, her wings would be too small.
She is getting older and does not have so much energy and ability to continue to protect the children.
Just like this time, if the granddaughter hadn't been clever and discovered something strange, who would have thought that the children could be framed by others in the academy...
The Li family is no longer a small farming family, and the dangers the children encounter are no longer small things like falling through ice holes, being bitten by dogs and cat paws, or climbing trees to dig out bird eggs but not being able to lay them.
But it is a major event that can easily end your future or involve the lives of many people.
It may be discovered once or twice at home, but who can guarantee that you can escape safely every time? !
We can only be cruel and let them go out and experience more wind and rain, so they will not be afraid of wind and rain...
It can be said that she is very aware of the coolness and wildness of the wind and rain. She has worked hard for most of her life.
She can’t bear it!
I can’t bear to see the children suffer!
Li Laoer knew what my mother was thinking, so he stopped trying to persuade her. After all, he... couldn't bear it.
Jiayin sat aside, holding the little fox in his arms and blinking his big eyes. He was in favor of letting his brothers go out to practice.
Let’s not talk about anything else, let’s just say that Jiayi and Liu Yang have gone south with the boat several times alone, and they are much more prudent now than before.
Two brothers, Jiaxi and Jiaan, have been very smart since childhood. Unfortunately, they are not good at reading. When it comes to naughty things, they are first-class masters!
Perhaps if they go out for a walk and have a look, they can find a suitable and suitable path for them? !
It is unrealistic in itself for the seven boys of the Li family to want all of them to study, take exams, and become officials...
But she can't say this right now. Grandma will definitely understand it, so she won't add fuel to the fire.
With this in mind, she approached her second uncle and whispered, "Second uncle, can we open a flower shop together?"
Flower shop?
Li Laoer was originally thinking about his nephews going out for training, but he couldn't react at the moment and was confused.
Jiayin rarely saw his shrewd second uncle looking like this, so he chuckled.
Li Laoer came to his senses and reached out to rub his niece's hair, smiling helplessly.
Jiayin hurriedly talked to his second uncle, "Second uncle, I have a lot of good flowers there. It's a pity that I only display them on days when my mother cooks private dishes. Should my second uncle open a flower shop and move all those famous flowers?" past.
"I heard from Uncle Wen that many high-ranking officials like flowers. From now on, our flower shop will only sell medium and low-grade flowers. We will keep all the good flowers for viewing, but not for sale!"
“Then those high-ranking officials who like famous flowers will come to our shop to see the flowers. Whoever is nice to the second uncle will be allowed to see the flowers. Are they all nice to the second uncle?
"Also, I will learn medicine and treat diseases from Grandpa Zhang in the future. I want to find medicinal seeds and medicinal seedlings. Those high-ranking officials must have a lot of people at home. If they want famous flowers, let them exchange medicinal seeds and vegetable seedlings! OK?"
The more Li Laoer listened, the brighter his eyes became. This is not a flower shop. It is obviously a good way to broaden your network of contacts!
As my niece said, there are many officials who like flowers in the court.
Whoever comes to the store to enjoy the flowers should sit down and have a cup of tea.
You have to talk to him over tea, and even owe him a favor in order to let him part with a pot of famous flowers, right? !
After several visits like this, he has more acquaintances and a wider network, and he has successfully integrated into the court.
By then, it will not be like this now. Looking at the court, he will only have two acquaintances, Wen Yushi and Liu Zhiheng, looking embarrassed...
