Happy Little Scholar

"Master Qian, please lead the way."

When Chen Chong said this, the face of a middle-aged man who was watching in the crowd suddenly changed.

The Qian family and the Chen family had some old grudges. Of course, at that time, the Chen family was still a big tree in the court. The Qian family spent a huge amount of money and made connections in many places. An important position that was finally obtained was replaced by someone from the Chen family. This may be just a casual move for the Chen family, but the Qian family has to work hard for it.

The Chen family used to have the support of the King of Shu and had extraordinary power in the court, which was far from comparable to a middle-class family like the Qian family.

However, this is a different time. Now the Qian family is in its heyday, while the Chen family has fallen into civilian status. It is time to get back the old grudges.

Who would have thought that the news leaked in advance would actually attract such a great god.

Chen Chong looked at the middle-aged man standing there in a daze, shook his head, and said, "Forget it. I thought that Lord Qian was familiar with the road. Since Lord Qian is unwilling, let's go out and ask a few more passers-by."

"Wait a minute!" The middle-aged man walked out of the crowd and whispered, "I know the road well, so there's no need to trouble others..."

"Wei Hou, Zhang Shilang, how about we go together?" Chen Chong looked at the people in the crowd and said, "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble you again later."

Even he felt that he was very arrogant when he said this. Even when the Chen family was at its peak, he was not so arrogant.

But when he thought of what Prince Xin had just said, "fill it with your life", the fire in his heart that had finally extinguished was rekindled.

He just wanted these people to lead the way, and they------wanted the lives of the Chen family.

Is this too much?

...

After a while, the Qian family.

"Master, you're back." The Qian family's doorman looked at his master walking in and immediately stepped forward and said respectfully.

The head of the Qian family whispered, "Let all the maids and servants come out."

Summoning all the maids and servants in the mansion was something that had never happened before. The doorman looked at him in surprise and asked, "Master, is there something wrong?"

The head of the Qian family gritted his teeth and said, "Do as I say."

Seeing the head's expression, the doorman was startled, responded, and hurried into the mansion.

Soon, all the guards, maids and servants of the Qian family had gathered in front of the Qian family.

The head of the Qian family looked at the plaque on the gate and gritted his teeth and said, "Smash it!"

"I'll go back first." Li Yi looked at Chen Chong, shook his head and said, "You can handle the next thing."

"Lao Fang, you stay with him first."

"Okay." Lao Fang nodded, saw the Qian family servants struggling to reach the plaque on the gate, walked up quickly, and said with a smile, "I'll help you!"

...

When walking back, the sloppy old man asked while picking his nose, "Boy, it feels bad to be at a disadvantage, right?"

"It feels bad to be at a disadvantage." Li Yi nodded and said, "But it feels good to be a bully."

All of this today was indeed done for some people to see.

They were afraid of him and feared him. They thought he was powerful and lawless. If he didn't do something lawless, wouldn't it disappoint many people?

When walking back to the cloth shop, I just saw Chen Lijun coming back with medicine.

This man, who was once one of the biggest dandies in Kyoto, had long been worn away by life. When he saw Li Yi, his eyes were a little evasive, and he hurriedly said, "Meet His Royal Highness King Jing."

Li Yi waved his hand and asked, "Are you going to boil the medicine?"

Chen Lijun nodded.

Li Yi took the herbs from him and said, "Let me do it."

Chen Lijun was stunned and was about to say something, but Li Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't talk nonsense, go get the casserole."

Boiling medicine is a technical job that requires a lot of patience. Li Yi has boiled it for Miss Liu for two months, so he naturally has a lot of experience.

He squatted in the yard, holding a small fan in his hand, carefully controlling the heat.

In a room somewhere, on the bed by the window, a pale woman looked through the window at the busy figure in the yard, with a smile in her eyes.

In front of a wealthy family in Kyoto, Chen Chong looked at the gilded plaque, shook his head, and sighed: "What a pity..."

In front of him, a middle-aged man with a pale face gritted his teeth and said: "Smash it!"

The palace.

The royal family members in Beijing gathered.

After an examination, a doctor respectfully replied: "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, the two arms of His Royal Highness Prince Xin are probably... I'm afraid they are useless."

Prince Xin has woken up, but his face is terribly pale. He cried: "Queen Mother, Brother, look at how rampant Li Yi has become!"

Li Xuan looked at him and asked: "As a prince, would you go to the cloth shop to buy cloth in person?"

Prince Xin: "------"

Li Xuan asked again: "Does it mean that he disabled your two arms just because you bought a piece of cloth? An arm?"

Prince Xin: "-------"

Li Xuan asked again: "What are you doing at Chen's cloth shop?"

Prince Xin endured the pain and said: "When my brother entered the palace, Li Yi was leading his servants to break into the official residence of important officials in the court and looted them wantonly. He didn't take the law seriously..."

"Which family did he smash?"

"The Wu family and the Qian family."

Li Yi waved his hand: "Summon them to the palace."

In recent days, none of the Li clan members who strongly opposed Li Xuan's appointment of Li Yi as King Jing spoke today.

He was obviously leaving, what was Prince Xin doing? At this time, what else could he not do?

Soon, the heads of the Wu and Qian families were summoned to the palace.

After entering the palace, the two immediately greeted: "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to the Queen Mother!"

Li Xuan looked at the two and asked directly: "Prince Xin said that Prince Jing smashed your mansion?"

Prince Xin endured the pain and turned to look at the two with hope on his face.

The heads of the Wu and Qian families looked at each other and shook their heads at the same time.

"I don't know where Your Highness Prince Xin heard the rumor from, but there is no such thing."

"Yes, I discussed with Lord Qian two days ago and planned to renovate the mansion. Today I just smashed it myself and can start construction tomorrow."

"Lord Wu is right. Your Majesty must not listen to rumors..."

Prince Xin looked at the two people who explained with a serious face, and felt that not only his arms hurt, but also his heart.

His arms couldn't move, so he could only point at the two people with his feet, "You, you..."

The head of the Wu family looked at him, shook his head, and said, "Your Highness Prince Xin, don't believe in rumors..."

Prince Xin was lying on the ground, looking at the top of the palace, and his eyes finally lost color.

Li Xuan glanced at him, shook his head and said, "I asked two imperial doctors to follow you, and you will set off to return to your fiefdom tomorrow..."

...

Li Yi didn't care whether Prince Xin went to the palace to complain, nor did he care about the follow-up of the Qian and Wu families. He boiled the medicine, helped Miss Chen San up, and then fed her with a spoon.

He put down the bowl, looked at her and asked, "Is it bitter?"

She nodded and said, "A little."

"Eat an apple, it won't be bitter after eating it." Li Yi picked up an apple and started to peel it. The only maid in the room looked at the apple peel in surprise and fell in a spiral shape. Before it fell to the ground, she reached out to catch it.

Miss Chen San looked at the maid and whispered, "Xiu'er, you go out first."

The little maid responded and retreated.

Li Yi cut the apple into slices, put it on a plate and handed it to her.

She put the plate aside, held Li Yi's hand, and looked at him blankly.

Li Yi sat on the bed, and she suddenly stretched out her other hand, covered his face, and gently stroked it.

Li Yi did not dodge.

"Yi'er." She suddenly said.

Li Yi looked at her.

"Can you..., call me mother?"
