After being divorced, my identity as a poet was exposed

Chapter 102 Brothers
Regarding the changes in the world's situation, Li Chen'an doesn't know anything now.

Today I went to the camp by the Peach Blossom Creek, took Xiao Shisanniang with me, and left him in the Li Mansion.

Because the Li Mansion had to be protected day and night by masters.

Everything was ready for the peach blossom brew to be launched, with Su Muxin taking care of the tavern and Huang Sanlie taking care of the winery, Li Chenan had time to spare, so he simply stayed in the east courtyard of the Li Mansion.

Xiao Shisanniang was wandering around in the yard.

Wandering around, she came to Li Chenan, pointed to the weedy gardens that hadn't been taken care of, "Can I tidy up these places?"

Li Chenan looked up at Xiao Shisanniang, "You can do whatever you want."

Xiao Shisanniang's little mountain eyebrows immediately flew up, "Okay!"

She happily ran to the side room, and found a rusty hoe from inside.

She began to weed the garden very seriously, not like a martial arts master, but like a peasant girl.

Li Chenan shook his head with a slight smile, thinking that Xizhai is also a magical place tonight, and the people there are also some magical people, because in just two days, the wasteland outside the camp in Taohuaxi was also covered by The Twelve Gold Hairpins of the Lijing Division were plowed out after training.

Xiao Shisanniang said it was a pity that such a good place was wasted.

Although it is already June, even if we can't grow wheat, it is good to grow some vegetables.

He also knew the identities of these women, most of them were orphans, most of their parents and relatives starved to death in the famine, and then they were rescued by their ancestors.

The tragic scene of the famine and the starving feeling of dizzy eyes were deeply engraved in their bones.

Therefore, everyone in Wanxizhai is incomparably diligent and thrifty, and they also cherish food incomparably.

In their eyes, this deserted land is a waste of money.

Li Chenan opened the book in front of him again.

"Ningguo 300 Years Notes".

This is a history book, which records in detail the major events that happened in the 300 years since the founding of Ningguo.

There are dozens of disaster years recorded in it.

There are droughts, floods, and plagues.

Of course, there were wars that followed.

There are a lot of books in Li's house, Li Chenan decided to read more when he has free time, not because he has the compassionate heart of a savior, but because he wants to know more about this world.

As a result, this east courtyard has a harmonious picture.

Under a gazebo, a scholar was burning incense and reading, fascinated.

Beside a field of weeds, there was a plain-colored woman in Tsing Yi who was hoeing the field, sweating profusely.

But this scene did not last long, and was broken by a person who walked in.

He is Li Chendong, Li Chenan's younger brother.

When he came in, his face was full of anger.

When he saw this scene in the corridor, he was stunned for a moment, then he stepped up again, and came straight to the pavilion where Li Chenan was, and then gave a cold laugh:
"What? Do you want to be the champion?"

Li Chenan raised his head and glanced at him, then his eyes fell on the book again, he turned a page, and shook his head: "The exam for the number one scholar... you have to come."

Li Chendong was startled, then sneered twice, "It seems that you still have self-knowledge."

Li Chenan looked up at him again, closed the book, pointed to the opposite side, and said one word: "Sit."

Li Chendong sat down, the eyes of the two brothers met, and the distance was quite close.

Li Chendong's gaze was obviously hostile, while Li Chenan's gaze was as gentle as water.

"The Li Mansion is a scholarly family!"

Li Chendong spoke seriously, "It's enough to embarrass the Li family if you set up a tavern in the alley of Erjinggou! But I didn't expect that you really want to be a merchant!"

"When I saw you on Peach Blossom Island on the day of the Dragon Boat Festival, my classmates looked at me very strangely. I wish I could get into the cracks in the ground!"

"Now you made such a move in Guangling City... If you didn't return to this home, it's your business, and it has nothing to do with Li's residence, but you came back shamelessly!"

"How will the entire Guangling City view the Li Mansion?"

"The Li residence only has the fragrance of ink, not the smell of copper!"

"If you want to be a merchant, can I ask you to leave here?"

"The reputation of several generations of the Li family, don't be ruined by you fool!"

Li Chenan frowned slightly.

In his original thought, although this Li Chendong is not the brother of the same mother, he is also the younger brother of the same father.

He even thought about finding a chance to have a good chat with this younger brother.

After all, if the lintel of a family wants to flourish, it is best if one more person contributes.

But he didn't expect that Li Chendong came here to ask the teacher for his crime.

Considering that his younger brother was young, he was not angry at all.

"Do you think that scholars should have a breeze in their sleeves?"

"Of course! If the heart of a scholar is in the eyes of money, how can he bother to study?"

"Then let me ask you, do you know how much it costs to study?"

"...This is something my father worries about."

"Then do you know how much your father's monthly salary is? How much money can you save for your education after removing the family's expenses?"

Li Chendong sneered again: "If you didn't owe gambling debts, why would the Li family be here!"

"First of all, I have paid back the gambling debt to my father, and secondly..."

Before Li Chenan finished speaking, Li Chendong interrupted, "I'm not here to listen to your explanation!"

"I'm here to tell you, if you want to get rich, get out of Li's house!"

"You shouldn't have come back. You made that peach blossom wine, but do you know what the Huo family will do to you?"

"If you die outside by yourself, maybe I will collect your body, but now you have to drag everyone in the Li family to bury you with you!"

"Li Chen'an, what are your intentions?"

Li Chenan got up suddenly, leaned over and slapped Li Chendong on the face with a "slap...!".

"ignorance!"

"You read that book into the dog's stomach?!"

Xiao Shisanniang, who was weeding at the side, was already watching with a hoe. She didn't know that the other boy was Li Chenan's younger brother. She didn't think it was a big deal when they were arguing, but now Li Chenan actually made a move...

Taking the young master's monthly money of one tael of silver, then he must protect the young master.

So, she let go of the hand holding the hoe, and held the sword on her back with her backhand.

After a moment, she let go of her hand.

Because that strange boy is obviously not the young master's opponent.

Li Chen'an twisted Li Chendong up and threw him into the yard, Li Chendong was dazzled by the fall.

He sat up straight, and yelled with a ferocious face: "How dare you hit me!"

"You abandoned child who was kicked out of the house, how dare you..."

Before he finished speaking, Li Chenan kicked over, kicking Li Chendong out of a distance of ten feet.

He strode to Li Chendong's side, squatted down, "If you say another word, I'll beat you to death!"

Li Chendong was so frightened by the cold tone that he shivered, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva and his eyes were full of fear.

"I, Li Chen'an, have returned to this family. From now on, I, Li Chen'an, will have the final say on everything in this family!"

"Including you and your mother!"

"Besides, if you want to become the head of the Li family...unless you are admitted to be the number one scholar!"

"If you win the first prize, I, Li Chenan, swear to hand over the Guangling Li Mansion to you."

"From now on, I will bear all the expenses of your study, but if you fail the exam... go to work in my winery for three years!"

"One last thing to tell you, elder brother is like father, our family is a scholarly family, you should know the rules of etiquette!"

Li Chen'an stretched out his hand and pulled Li Chendong up, becoming amiable, he even patted the dust on Li Chendong's body affectionately, "Go and read your book with peace of mind."

"As for the others... Brother is here, the sky won't fall!"
