The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

After dinner, Gongsun Lian came to Li Changxi's study.

Seeing Li Changxi studying hard while shaking his head, Gongsun Lian frowned slightly.

At first glance, it looks like a temporary holding position, and it is not the right holding position.

Gongsun Lian walked in.

Li Changxi stood up quickly, "Father!"

Although he is a stepfather, Gongsun Lian is highly respected, and Li Changxi wants to have such a father from the bottom of his heart.

Gongsun Lian smiled when he saw Li Changxi standing up in a hurry, "Actually, what you are reading now are all accumulated by you."

"There's not much point in continuing to learn what you already know so well."

"By this time, I have memorized these basic points. The next step is to think about how to use them!"

Li Changxi's attitude was respectful, "Father, please give me your advice. No matter what, I will pass the exam this time, otherwise my mother's temper will never let me continue studying."

There is no shortage of money in the family, but my mother always keeps her word.

Li Changxi did not dare to challenge his mother's majesty.

Gongsun Lian nodded, "Okay, starting tonight, I will explain it to you. Listen carefully. It's up to you how much you can understand..."

With Gongsun Lian's explanation, Li Changxi made rapid progress.

I always felt like there was a fog in the past, but now it seems like the fog has been lifted and I can see the sun.

Under Gongsun Lian's guidance, Li Changxi became confident and arrived in Fucheng three days ago.

This time, Li Changfu personally sent his fourth brother to take the exam. After the exam, he was finally admitted as a scholar.

Li Chang was dancing with joy and was very happy.

I always feel like the happiest person in the world.

"Mom, can I continue the imperial examination?" Li Changxi was proud that he could finally explain to his mother.

Li Xiaoyue smiled and squinted her eyes slightly, "Yes, I passed the exam this time and my ranking is not bad. Next, you still have two opportunities for the provincial examination."

"Give you a chance to try and make mistakes. If you fail the test twice, there is no need for you to continue taking the test."

Full of joy, after hearing his mother's words, Li Changxi immediately went to study instead of going out to wander around.

Seeing Li Changxi's back, Gongsun Lian shook his head and laughed, "Changxi is still young and has a talent for reading. I will teach him slowly in the future."

Li Xiaoyue smiled and said, "If you don't set rules for him, Changxi won't be able to become a talent at all. I'm just saying this for her own good."

During this period of time, Li Xiaoyue has been teaching all the stewards of the Gongsun family to use the new accounting method.

After half a month of study, these accounting clerks have learned it.

I was repelled at first, but after using it, it smells really good.

Simpler than before, and very clear.

There are also new accounting methods that get twice the result with half the effort. Now all the shopkeepers of the Gongsun family use this accounting method.

Zhenxiguan is very stable and the people live and work in peace and contentment.

New crops were promoted in Zhenxiguan, and there were many more dishes on the people's tables.

Potatoes can be used as vegetables or as food, and every household will grow them.

Chili peppers are also particularly popular in the cold Zhenxiguan. Nowadays, almost every household grows chili peppers, which taste particularly delicious when boiled in suet.

Boil the noodles, add a spoon and some garlic sprouts, it tastes great.

Li Xiaoyue doesn't expect to make money from these things, so the people in Zhenxiguan can come and get pepper seedlings if they want anything.

Next, you can save seeds, optimize them from generation to generation, and pass them on from generation to generation.

Just when Li Xiaoyue prepared a lot of lenses and went to the capital with Gongsun Lian, Qin Yuyao sent someone to ask for help.

Di Rong now began to attack Xile Mansion, and Xile Mansion fought hard.

Manager Xu saw Li Xiaoyue and said, "Madam, please help me."

Li Xiaoyue shook her head and said to Manager Xu: "If it's food and grass, I can raise it for you, but we can't borrow troops to fight, or ask my Li family to help."

"Tell Yuyao and King Wu that the Li family can't go, it's not that they don't want to go."

When Manager Xu heard this, he was slightly startled. He originally thought that the Li family would help, but unexpectedly he refused directly.

It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s that I can’t!

The meaning here is intriguing.

Li Xiaoyue asked someone to prepare several pairs of telescopes and magnifying glasses, and told them how to use them. He also prepared a lot of food and grass for Manager Xu to take back.

Back at Xile Mansion, Qin Yuyao and King Wu were confused after seeing the letter.

Even if we don't send troops over, it should be okay if a few of the Li family come over to supervise the battle together.

"Your Majesty, my adoptive mother said she couldn't, not that she didn't want to. What does this mean?" Qin Yuyao had a guess in her heart, but she didn't dare to say it.

King Wu is not a pure martial artist. As a prince, he often beats around the bush.

After thinking for a moment, King Wu's eyes lit up, "Yu Yao, I know what Mrs. Li means."

"Your Majesty, Yuyao is stupid, please clarify your doubts." Qin Yuyao pretended not to understand yet. King Wu whispered: "The spies I sent out to observe several feudal kings came back with letters saying that they are also fighting over there."

"Why does a fiefdom with a prince go to war, and it's just a prince? I guess my father wants to train the princes, and then choose from these princes..."

King Wu did not continue speaking.

Qin Yuyao's eyes widened, "Your Majesty, if this is the case, then we really need to take a long-term approach. The Li family can't help, so they probably know what His Majesty is thinking."

"Once the Li family kidnaps the prince, even if the prince defeats Di Rong, it has nothing to do with that position."

King Wu nodded, "Yes, that should be it. Yuyao, I leave the family to you. I will go all out."

Qin Yuyao touched her belly with a firm look in her eyes, "Prince, don't worry, you don't need to take care of the family, and you don't need to worry about food and grass. You just need to fight on the front line."

"By the way, the adoptive mother asked Manager Xu to bring over a box, saying it would be of great use to the prince."

After saying that, Qin Yuyao opened the box and saw several strange long tubes.

There are instructions for use inside. After reading it carefully, Qin Yuyao's eyes lit up, "My lord, can you see very far away with this? There are also scales on it!"

King Wu took it, read the instructions, and tried it out. He was greatly surprised. "Good stuff, Yuyao. Take care and go to the military camp."

King Wu took the box away, but he kept one and distributed the remaining four to his confidants.

Under the leadership of King Wu, Xile Mansion began to resist Di Rong's invasion tenaciously.

There is enough food and grass, sharp weapons, and King Wu is brave and invincible, winning more and losing less.

Li Xiaoyue and Gongsun Lian went to the capital. Along the way, they enjoyed sightseeing and sightseeing.

When I arrived in the capital, I tried out several lenses for His Majesty and chose the appropriate power, which can correct presbyopia and eliminate the need to squint to see things, let alone look further away.

Emperor Yan Ping saw the arithmetic that Li Xiaoyue sent to primary school. He didn't take it seriously at first, but the more he looked at it, the more he became fascinated.

If there was anything he didn't understand, he called Li Xiaoyue into the palace to ask for leave.

After Li Xiaoyue's explanation, Emperor Yan Ping suddenly understood and immediately ordered Li Xiaoyue to teach arithmetic at the Imperial Academy.

Li Xiaoyue was stunned, and with Gongsun Lian's encouragement, she entered the classroom to give lectures.

Many people didn't take it seriously at first, but when Li Xiaoyue explained the obscure arithmetic using numbers, these talented people were immediately shocked.

Those who can enter the Imperial College are at least very outstanding candidates.

They are all smart and can make sense.

Elementary arithmetic was taught in half a year.

Then it’s junior high school math, another year.

High school mathematics is a bit difficult, but only a few people can understand it.

Some people even became obsessed with arithmetic and worshiped Li Xiaoyue as their teacher.

While teaching, Li Xiaoyue wrote down all the physics, chemistry and other knowledge she knew.

She would tell what she could tell under the current conditions.

If you can't talk about it, just put it over there. There will always be people in the future who will learn from it.

The success of movable type printing greatly reduced printing costs, and Li Xiaoyue printed many copies.

As long as someone is willing to learn, give it away and preserve it as much as possible.

The Royal Collection also includes related books.

The second prince rebelled and was imprisoned by Emperor Yan Ping.

Among the several adult princes, only King Wu defeated Di Rong, and the other party paid compensation and ceded the city.

King Wu was the best among his sons.

Emperor Yan Ping made King Wu the crown prince. Three months later, Emperor Yan Ping died.

A country cannot live without a king for a day. King Wu replaced the sun with the moon, observed filial piety for 27 days, and ascended the throne as Emperor Wu.

On the first day he ascended the throne, Huo Yingjie was conferred the title of General of Zhenxiguan.

Liu Zicheng was unwell and incompetent, so he was transferred back to Beijing.

The Li family continues to supervise Huo Yingjie in Zhenxiguan.

However, Li Xiaoyue can only stay in the capital from now on.

On the surface, Li Xiaoyue wanted to stay in the capital, but in fact it was to contain the Li family.

Gongsun Lian accompanied Li Xiaoyue in the capital, writing books, and living a fulfilling life.

Li Changhuan and Liu Zhengyang were engaged, and after turning sixteen, they married into the Liu family.

Li Changfu, Li Changlu and Li Changshou stayed in Zhenxiguan.

Li Changhuan, Li Changle, Li Changxi, and Li Changan followed Li Xiaoyue.

Living a fulfilling and warm life is exactly what Li Xiaoyue pursues.

This life worthwhile! (End of chapter)
