Happy Little Scholar

"I really fell on the mountain. My elder brother can testify. If you don't believe me, go ask my elder brother!" The little fat man defended himself loudly. In his opinion, a bag of "Shilixiang" candied fruit is enough to bribe anyone. 』

"I heard that you were beaten by the young master of the Chen family and knelt down to beg for mercy?" A beautiful woman with a graceful appearance suddenly looked at him and asked.

"Nonsense, it was obviously me who beat them!" Seeing the little aunt said so, the little fat man seemed to be insulted, his face flushed, and he said unconvinced.

"What, you beat the son of the Duke of Chen!" Another woman's face changed and she said in surprise.

There were many people in the lobby. In addition to the old lady, Li Mingze and his wife and Li Mingyuan and his wife were all there. The little fat man's mother was applying medicine for him distressedly. The one who screamed just now was Li Mingze's wife Fang.

"You kid, how can you get into trouble so much? Can we provoke the Chen family?" Fang said angrily.

The Chen and Li families were not on good terms. The Chen family was powerful, and the Li family had always been avoiding conflicts with them. The young master of the Chen family was very favored by the Chen family. If the Chen family was annoyed by this matter, it was hard to guarantee that they would use some means against the Li family.

"What are you talking about, sister-in-law? Although Yingcai was a little greedy, he never took the initiative to bully others. It was the Chen family that always targeted our Li family. Are they allowed to bully us? My children can't even fight back?" Although Li Mingyuan's wife Liu was as low-key and taciturn as her husband on weekdays, she would naturally not remain silent when it came to her children.

Fang said with an unhappy look on her face: "Look, look, you blame me for this. The Chen and Li families were originally old friends. Why did it become like this today? Isn't it because..."

"Stop talking!" Li Mingze was the head of the Li family. After he spoke, no one spoke anymore.

"Li Wen, how did Yingcai and the young master of Chen Guogong's family conflict? Tell me the truth." Li Mingze pointed to a servant behind the fat man and said.

The servant looked at the fat boy and cast an apologetic look. He dared not disobey the order of the master, so he had to tell the whole story.

After hearing the reason for the incident, Li Mingze said: "Although Yingcai is right in this matter, he did fight with others after all. Prepare a generous gift and send it to the Chen family..."

As the head of the family, he certainly can't act on impulse. The Chen family is still prosperous and brilliant. The Li family depends on him alone. It is better not to offend the Chen family if you can.

"No need. Although our Li family has declined, we are not easy to be bullied. We were wronged by them in the past, but we have paid back what we should have paid back over the years. The only thing we owe is the child of the Chen family..."

The old lady who had not spoken stood up and said, "In this matter, the Chen family broke the rules first. Yingcai did nothing wrong, and Yier did nothing wrong. If the Chen family still has some face, they will not pursue the matter between the children. As for Yier's friend------he came to Beijing for the first time, how could he have a friend here?"

"I met him in Qing'an Prefecture, and it was just a coincidence that I met him in Beijing this time." Li Yi walked in from the door and explained.

"Yier and Ruyi are back." The old lady smiled and said, "If it weren't for Yier today, Yingcai would have suffered a loss. We are all family members, so we should help each other."

The old lady has lived a lifetime, from the glorious time of the Li family to the present, and has seen too many things. She knows the root of a family's long-term continuation. She is actually very satisfied with Li Yi's actions today.

"Yes, yes, big brother's kung fu is very powerful, you must teach me, the next time I see Chen Xiaotian, I can kick him away with one kick." Seeing Li Yi, the little fat man was obviously excited and ran over excitedly.

The scene he saw on the mountain is still deeply engraved in his mind.

"Hiss..."

Before he finished speaking, he gasped in pain and was dragged back by Liu's ears.

Fang sneered and said sarcastically: "Haha, Yingcai didn't suffer any loss, but we have offended the Chen family again. Back then, the eldest brother abandoned the third daughter of the Chen family and ran away, causing the two families to become enemies. Now..., this eldest brother's family is afraid that they have had a grudge with the Chen family for several lifetimes!"

Knowing that she has always been resentful of the eldest brother's family, Li Mingze frowned slightly. In front of so many people, he couldn't scold her. He turned to look at Li Yi and said: "In a few days, I will try to move around and see if I can transfer you to the capital. However, the capital is not like Qing'an Prefecture. Remember not to be so impulsive in the future."

Li Yi could feel that although this second aunt seemed to be quite dissatisfied with him, he really didn't take it to heart. After all, he had seen creatures like the second aunt before and had long been immune to them. [ps: There are always people who make a fuss about a random sentence in the book. This is just a joke, and there is no other meaning. 】

However, after only knowing each other for a day, this majestic man in front of him was quite protective of him, just like an elder in his family, which touched him a little.

As for the transfer, Li Yi did not say much. Although he was just a small county lieutenant, this position could not be transferred by anyone unless the emperor spoke up. Li Yi thought it was good to be an idle county lieutenant in Qing'an Prefecture. By training a few capable subordinates, he could live a perfect life of only receiving salary but not working. Isn't it much easier than working hard in the capital?

It would be best if His Majesty the Emperor had forgotten about him long ago, and this ideal would be a reality.

That's right, the emperor is so busy. He has a lot of affairs during the day and a lot of concubines at night. Anyway, he is busy during the day and at night. He is a small character, so he should probably or definitely not be taken seriously by him.

"By the way, it's best to let your friend in the capital leave the capital as soon as possible. If he is found out by the Chen Guogong Mansion, it will be very troublesome." Li Mingze reminded again.

In his opinion, Li Yi's friends are naturally not powerful people, and they are far from being able to compete with the Chen Guogong Mansion.

Li Yi nodded, but did not take it to heart.

Whether Li Xuan left the capital was naturally not something he could control. It would be better if he didn't investigate. If the Chen Guogong Mansion found him, it was not certain who would be in trouble...

...

...

"Investigate, you must find out who they are!"

In the Chen Guogong Mansion, several guards with broken legs lay outside in rows, wailing constantly.

A gorgeous woman pointed at several people in the room and said a few words loudly. She looked at the bruised and crying boy in her arms with heartache, and gritted her teeth and said, "The Li family, it's the Li family again. Twenty years ago, they made our Chen family lose face, and now they treat my child like this. I will never let you go... As for Chen Yue, let him handle this matter and go to the Li family to seek justice for my son."

Beside her, a middle-aged man looked at the wailing guards outside the door with a gloomy face.

"Licheng, in addition to the Li family, have you found out the identities of other people?" The middle-aged man looked at Chen Licheng who was standing there with his head down and asked lightly.

Chen Licheng shuddered when he heard this, and immediately said, "I only know that there is a person named Li Yi, from Qing'an Prefecture. I don't know what relationship he has with the good Li family. As for the person who ordered the breaking of the leg of the guard in the mansion, he has not been found yet."

The middle-aged man frowned even deeper. At this time, someone walked in quickly from outside and whispered a few words in Chen Licheng's ear.

Upon hearing this, Chen Licheng immediately walked up to the middle-aged man and spoke again: "We found out that the young man named Li Yi is the eldest grandson who just returned to the Li family. He is the son of the eldest son Li Minghan who left the Li family 20 years ago. The Li family has been sending people to look for him for a few days. He just arrived in the capital yesterday."

As soon as Chen Licheng finished speaking, a strange sound suddenly came from behind the screen in the hall. The woman behind the screen was pale, her fists were clenched, her nails were digging into the flesh, and she didn't feel the blood dripping down her palms...

[ps: I finally finished writing before the lights went out in the dormitory. 】
