Old Mr. Yi was blocked, and invited to the private room next door, Lu Changsheng stood up, and showed the courtesy he used to treat seniors, with a more humble attitude.

Mr. Yi was taken aback, and quickly waved his hands, "Dean Lu, you don't have to!"

"This is what it should be..." Lu Changsheng still bowed deeply.

Mr. Yi was in a complicated mood. Although he had a lot of resentment towards Lu Qinghong, Lu Changsheng had a good reputation and was also a literati. He also had a natural affection for Jiang Yi's Lu family.

After the two of them sat down, Lu Changsheng sighed, "Blame me for my poor discipline and making my grandson do such things..."

"Grandfather!" Lu Qinghong couldn't believe it, his face flushed to the extreme, and he quickly glanced at the other people in the private room.

These people were all loyal servants of the Lu family, they didn't really know what happened, they looked at each other in blank dismay, and retreated voluntarily.

"Qing Hong, if you don't serve tea to Mr. Yi, please apologize!" Lu Changsheng scolded in a low voice.

Lu Qinghong wanted to get into the cracks in the ground, but he still obeyed Lu Changsheng for many years and followed his instructions seriously.

Mr. Yi snorted coldly in his heart, and he didn't say that he didn't forgive, after all, he didn't have the qualifications.

At this time, Lu Changsheng revealed his purpose, "I want to take Qing Hong to apologize to that person personally, I wonder if Mr. Yi can recommend one or two?"

Lu Qinghong's heart skipped a beat.

In the private room next door, driven by Cheng Ping's loud voices, everyone's emotions were extremely high. Mrs. Da Da even took out money and lavishly took a fifty-two silver note as a reward.

At this moment, everyone couldn't care less about eating, the applause from the whole Hanmo Pavilion teahouse spread to the outside one after another, and those who lined up to book the next seat were all very tickled.

"This Lord Qingyuan is really powerful. He has never shown up, but he can make everyone abide by the rules here. If I have enough silver taels, I will definitely not line up!"

"Not only the rich, but also the powerful!"

"I'm afraid there is something inside, but we common people don't know that's all." Sighing, he still had to line up outside bitterly.

It lasted for half an hour, and the young man on the stage finally retreated. At this time, there were so many rewards, and the waiter was holding a plate, collecting money and sweating profusely.

During the storytelling period before this, they had already made a lot of money.

The shopkeeper of Hanmo Pavilion is also a very business-minded person. He is not curious about Lord Qingyuan, and he doesn't want to be curious, otherwise countless people will grab him and ask him. He just wants to focus on making money.

This will count the money. He, who has always been stingy, is going to give Mr. Yi a dividend increase.

It is said that Mr. Qingyuan behind him only has 20% of Mr. Yi's share, and seeing that he has so much money, if Mr. Qingyuan finds out, others will tempt him with higher benefits...

"No, no, no, the accountant, do the math quickly, how to give them dividends is better, you must firmly hold Mr. Qingyuan in your hands!"

After a heart-wrenching discussion, Hanmo Pavilion took out two dividends of the total harvest, half of which was given to Mr. Yi, Mr. Yi, his apprentice, and shopkeeper Ning.

10% of the bonus will go directly to Mr. Qingyuan.

That is to say, one of Lu Li was originally divided into the 20% of Mr. Yi's previous dividends, which did not even account for a small half of the total dividends, but now it is a 10% dividend of the entire Hanmo Pavilion, and the income is directlyDouble it!

For example, today, the bonus for tipping alone is fifty taels, and in January, after taking into account various factors, it will be one thousand taels, not counting the money earned by the main restaurants and teahouses.

As for Mr. Yi's 30% bonus, he also planned to share 10% with his apprentice and Shopkeeper Ning.

Shopkeeper Ning felt that he deserved it. After all, he didn't do anything in this regard, so the book's money was very profitable, so he gave up half of the money to Lu Lizhi.

No matter how they change, Hanmoge holds 60% of the big head's dividend, and treats others well, so he finally feels at ease, not afraid of others prying his corner.

On the night when Lu Lizhi returned to Jiang's house, he received a new contract from Mr. Yi and Shopkeeper Ning.

The 30% dividend of the storybook plus the 15% dividend of the storytelling, roughly calculated, he can earn as little as two thousand taels a month, and as much as three thousand taels.

"It's just that there is no owner behind the Hanmo Pavilion. I think the shopkeeper means that he has no energy to expand his business abroad. I have a few brothers to help me, and I should be able to make more money by then!"A little smug.

"The nature of Hanmo Pavilion is also different. Going to other places is more risky. What's more, in Xuanhe Mansion, many foreigners have already rushed here, so it is not a big problem not to go to other places."

The most important thing is that Mr. Yi has honed his eloquence and ability through most of his life's experience. It took a lot of effort to find a talented young apprentice, take him with him and cultivate him carefully. If he wants to expand his business, Mr. Pingshu must also follow him..

"There are other ways to go to other places to do storytelling business." Jiang Baiye walked over with a smile. At this moment, Mrs. He and Jiang Dazhu were listening beside him, and they learned that Lu Lizhi wrote story books while studying, and earned a lot of money.Too much money, the more my son thinks it's useless.

Thinking that Li Zhi is not short of money, the gap between the two will only get bigger and bigger in the future, this kid is still smiling so confidently, both of them can't help but stare at him.

Jiang Baiye sat down next to Lu Lizhi, picked up the teacup that Lu Lizhi had drunk, took two sips, and then proposed his plan for the farmhouse fun.

"It's far away in Chongzhou, and it won't hinder the business here. Shopkeepers Li Zhi and Ning can share the money. If Mr. Yi is willing, I wonder if you can bring Mr. Pingshu for me. I will find a ready-made one, but I am sure."It’s not as good as you, and it’s not a problem in terms of financing, just ask for a price!”

Mr. Yi quickly waved his hand, knowing that he was deliberately bringing him with him. In fact, neither of them needed each other's value and money that much, but this behavior of bringing him along made Mr. Yi feel very heart-warming.

Otherwise, everyone will gradually drift away in the future, and he, Lord Qingyuan and shopkeeper Ning will gradually become unfamiliar with each other. Mr. Yi still cherishes his contact and relationship with them.

"The ready-made Mr. Pingshu is much better than me, so I need to take it with me." He said modestly, "We can learn from each other and learn from each other's strengths."

"You still need to palm your eyes." Jiang Baiye also said politely.

Shopkeeper Ning seemed to see a big bad wolf wagging its tail sitting in front of him.

The little white rabbit next to him seemed unaware of his danger, quiet and obedient, trying to pick up the teacup on the table, but overlapped with the hand covering the cup lid.

This book was nothing, but what made shopkeeper Ning dumbfounded was that Lu Lizhi withdrew his hand, Jiang Baiye filled the teacup with a smile, pushed it to his hand, and tapped the table lightly.

Unreasonably ambiguous.

On the other side, the two of the He family were also curiously asking "Qingyuan Jun" questions, and the little ones were so frightened that they were thumping.

For a while, he was delighted that Li Zhi was so outstanding, and his son really had discernment, but for a while, he was worried that the gap between the two of them was too great, which could not make people feel at ease.

It's not that he doubts about Lu Lizhi's character. He will abandon his husband and son in the future. The main reason is that they have always believed in the right family and the wrong family. Even if they are reluctantly together, they will not be happy.

When Mrs. He pulled Jiang Baiye out, Mr. Yi also talked about the day's affairs, "The Dean Lu of Mingli Academy asked me about you, and he probably will find you soon, although I have nothingrevealed, but it does not feel difficult to guess your identity."

Lu Lizhi nodded. When the show was over, he also saw Lu Qinghong, who still looked at him with unbelievable eyes.

It was so similar to the situation at the Hanmoge Restaurant last time. Once upon a time, a person as proud as Lu Qinghong could only bow down to him.

This is the beauty of money, power and status.

Lu Lizhi took a sip of tea in secret.

In the Lu family, Lu Changsheng tapped his knees a few times, "So, it's really possible that it's the scholar who took the top spot in your case?"

"Grandfather, how is it possible!" Lu Qinghong denied it without thinking, and even felt extremely annoyed by his guess.

"He is nothing more than that. Even you yourself think that Lord Qingyuan is a reclusive Confucian, and he must be not young, but he is only nineteen years old."

Lu Qinghong was even one year older than him.

Lu Changsheng glanced at him, "You should pray that it's him. If you are really a great Confucian, you can't handle it easily, but if you are a little scholar, then things will be much easier..."

He squinted his eyes.

Lu Qinghong understood his deep meaning, and was startled. Does this mean asking Qingyuan Jun to give him a contemporary pen, catch a swordsman and replace him with a gun?

No matter what Lu Qinghong thinks, it is impossible, Mr. Qingyuan is not short of fame and wealth, what else can he do?

But if it is Lu Lizhi, Lu Qinghong has this confidence, but he doesn't want to think like this, and he doesn't want to admit that he is worse than Lu Li, he would rather use the way of impersonation.

However, Lu Changsheng thought much more practically. He immediately sent someone to inquire about Lu Lizhi, and found out his handle and weakness. Only then could he control this person and use him for them!

At this time, Lu Lizhi didn't know their vicious plan, after drinking the medicine, a sweet candied fruit was stuffed into his mouth.

"My mother said, if you are like this, you will be chained to the bed, or locked in a gorgeous gold cage, so that you will not fly high."

Lu Lizhi glanced at him, obviously disgusted, but Jiang Baiye saw the alluring intent.

He happily helped him up, and then came up with a bad idea, "It would be great if you could get pregnant, so I can tie you down with a child!"

Lu Lizhi's eyebrows twitched, his back sweated a little from the fright, and he was pregnant... Granny Li was always worried about him, but she seemed to think she could do it.

Lu Lizhi felt that it was absurd and absurd. He didn't have the slightest characteristics of a woman. In comparison, his functions as a man were more complete.

He also sees himself only as a man.

But if you can have a baby...

Thinking of those cute and cute little girls in the village, and the boys with round eyes who would call Daddy, his heart felt like he was hit hard by something.

It's cute.

Jiang Baiye wanted to start thinking about it, Lu Lizhi would get up early tomorrow to go back to his school, so he kicked him, not wanting to make him foolish.

I can't do it myself.

If you can't do it, you can't do it.

Bu Nuan thought about that, Jiang Baiye's black eyes were bright and deep, "You give me another one, and I will give you one too?"

Lu Lizhi blocked his ears.

Why sometimes I miss him so much, I don't want to do anything, I am so haunted, and sometimes I hate him so much?

Jiang Baiye was surprisingly patient in this matter, pestering people for half a night, making people unable to twitch the corners of their mouths, as if they couldn't finish the good things they wanted to say, Lu Lizhi's ears and heart were itchy, he was a man who was hard to shake his mindpeople.

But he likes to control Jiang Baiye and manage his emotions.

He opened his eyes, his face was full of enthusiasm, he sat up slowly, and when he was about to grope and bend down, he noticed that the figure in the darkness had not moved.

Realizing that he had already fallen asleep, Lu Li laughed angrily, beat him up abruptly, even a bed couldn't withstand their construction, and then when Jiang Baiye looked dazed, he pulled the quilt over his head.

sleep.

Jiang Baiye wanted to cry but had no tears, "Li Zhi, you are good or bad, it would be good for you to wake me up?"

Having said that, she didn't bother him anymore, and hugged him from behind with the quilt tightly, thinking about when those tools would be used.

This is not a small project, and it is also a painful process. Every time the two of them become passionate, they don't care about other things at all, and they have to pick a time when it is not cold...

After Lu Lizhi returned to the government school, no one knew what he was doing, even Ding Lihui and others who walked closest to him didn't know.

But anyone with a discerning eye could see that Master Yi's attitude towards him was much better, but he was still so strict, as if he wanted to force out Lu Lizhi's potential and drive him crazy.

Stricter and harsher than the magistrate Yan.

The two days when Lu Lizhi went back, he gained a lot of motivation, and he really cheered up and put in the effort. The first to bear the brunt was Yi Shuyun and his group of students in the upper house.But just passed the exam!

Invisibly, the atmosphere of the entire school was swept up by Lu Lizhi with his own power, and no one survived, and everyone wailed unceasingly.

Seeing that the New Year's Exam was approaching, Yu Zhijie, who couldn't think of how to trouble Lu Lizhi, couldn't help but temporarily put down his thoughts and turned on the lamp to study hard.

After that, Lu Lizhi went back to do acupuncture again, but Master Yi only gave him one day off, in case he would slack off.

Lu Li later realized his good intentions and was very grateful, but this also made him and Jiang Baiye suffer.

Jiang Baiye said that he could bear it, "Aren't you going to take your annual leave soon?"

But the annual leave is only five days.

Other students may be more relaxed, but they are a group of students who are going to take the provincial examination next year, Mr. Yi and others wish they would not go home.

For example, the usual clothing leave and ten-day leave are directly cancelled. Unless there is an urgent matter to ask the wife to explain, otherwise, try to ask the family members to send winter clothes and related items.

Lu Li Zhi really got busy, and Jiang Baiye had to put aside all his thoughts. He and Li Zhi still have a long future, but the imperial examination cannot be sloppy.

At the beginning, Song Haocheng and the others didn't know that Lu Lizhi was going to take the provincial exam next year, and when there was another quiz, Master Yi directly compared him with the students in the upper house, and criticized him severely.

Dozens of people in the outer house turned pale in an uproar, "Is he going to heaven?"

"Although he is very powerful, I have to admit that he is extremely talented and quick-witted, but it usually lasts for three years. Even Mr. Tai Song, who was in his junior year, third year, and Yuan Dynasty, would not dare to do such nonsense!"

For smart people like them, they don't just pass the exam. If they want to hit a better ranking, they must not fail from the very beginning.

Including the champion in the back, if you have been taking the first place in the previous exams and got good grades, the Jinluan Temple will have a particularly good impression.

So no step can go wrong.

That's why even Song Haocheng and the others persuaded Lu Lizhi, "It's too hasty. Even if you lose once, you can do it again, but for you..."

Lu Lizhi understood the rest of the sentence before he finished it. To put it a bit narcissistically, it was like a blemish on a beautiful jade.

Lu Lizhi also has some thoughts of perfection, but if he can't force it, he won't be too entangled. He hasn't forgotten his true original intention of taking the imperial examination.

During this period of time, he traced the events of the year in the government school. His father is also very famous, but there are not many people who know him here, and almost all of them have left, promoted and returned to their hometowns, and went their separate ways.

Zangshu Pavilion also kept some books he had read and made notes.

Lu Lizhi brought all these books over, thinking about them, and found that his father seemed to be guiding him in front of him, and those books were also very useful for his current state.

Every time I read it, I am suddenly enlightened.

Fei Hongyu and Ding Lihui picked it up curiously and looked at it. They didn't feel much, but they were worried, "Since you are sure that you are going to take the provincial examination, you should stop reading these books."

Lu Lizhi smiled and said nothing.

Song Haocheng shook his head, but he didn't know that they had already separated from Lu Lizhi. For them, the bibliography, which was cold and super-comprehensive, would be useful to Lu Lizhi.

Lu Lizhi read and studied so fast that even he, who knew him well at the beginning, was left behind by a long distance.

Song Haocheng faintly felt that if he didn't hurry up and get farther and farther away from Lu Lizhi, he would never be able to catch up again.

He was actually a little afraid of this feeling, as if somewhere in the dark, they were supposed to be together.

"I'm going to take the provincial exam next year too!"

"!" Crazy crazy, this one two.

The news that the two students from the Outer House are going to take the provincial examination next year has spread to the inner house and the upper house, not to mention the reaction of the upper house, the inner house is all blown up!

"Then Lu Lizhi is still a little bit more likely. Why is this Song Haocheng joining in the fun and pretending that we have been living for nothing for the past two years?"

There are also fixed numbers of places for the township examinations in each province, and the two young students came out and said they wanted to take part, wasn't it just to crowd out their places?

Originally, the competition in the township examination was unprecedentedly fierce. They didn't follow the procedure and came to join in the fun, "Can their master agree?"

Master Yi naturally disagreed. He agreed with Lu Lizhi because Professor Huang had spoken. Otherwise, with his style of seeking stability, he would definitely not let Lu Lizhi take this risk, especially since he was still expected to hit the top few.

When Song Haocheng came here, just let him read with peace of mind and not be influenced by other people.

"How to go, how to go, eager for quick success is a big taboo."

Song Haocheng was disappointed, he clenched his fist and could only prove himself from behind.

Here, Jiang Baiye finally found a chance to visit He Min, and learned from him that Song Haocheng was also going to take the provincial examination.

"This guy, I really don't exist!"

He Min was puzzled and asked: "Why do you say that? Did he hinder you by taking the provincial exam?"

"Why would he hinder me? That's too serious." But Jiang Baiye still whispered to He Min in a stingy manner.

"Then I want braised lion's head, stewed sixty-year-old noodles, hot and sour beef..." Jiang Baiye's face turned green when a series of dishes were announced, thinking that he would prepare them for Li Zhi, so he could only take advantage of this kid, "Go ahead!"

After a while, Lu Lizhi was called over. He thought that he was here to pick up the food box as usual, but he didn't expect that the owner of the dish also came.

He was so pleasantly surprised that his smile widened a little, like a new rain on an empty mountain, or like snow melting, turning into a ball of spring water.

Jiang Baiye had already opened his arms in advance, encircling his slender waist, "Don't go, sit on my lap, I'll feed you."

Lu Lizhi glanced at him, wanting to say that he had no relationship with Song Haocheng, Yi Shuyun, or even A, B, B, B, D, whom he was jealous of for no reason.

"I just want to feed you." Jiang Baiye held him with one hand and opened the food box with the other. Although it was inconvenient, it was steady.

Lu Lizhi leaned on his side, put his arms around his shoulders, and slid his cold and red hands into his chest.

Jiang Baiye hissed, "Why is it so cold?"

Lu Lizhi took his hands away from his hotly ironed muscles and put them in his inner coat to keep warm.

Jiang Baiye led him to do this behavior at first, but he gradually got used to it, and it was really warmer than a hand stove.

Jiang Baiye dug a spoonful of rice and fed it to him. Seeing that it was plain rice, Lu Lizhi gestured to the boiled cabbage heart next to him with his eyes.

"Kiss me and I'll feed you."

Dare to feel here, Lu Lizhi kissed him perfunctorily, and Jiang Baiye also kissed him with a smile.

At this time, He Min's voice sounded outside, "Senior Brother Song, please help me, I'm too short to reach."

Just as he was talking, the door opened, and He Min, the brat, was taken aback, "Brother Bai Ye, why are you here?"

It also seemed to have seen something that shouldn't be seen, and hurriedly covered his eyes and said, "I didn't see anything!" He was about to close the door in a hurry, but he couldn't close it in a hurry.

He had already seen Song Haocheng clearly, "..." His searching eyes could not help falling on Jiang Baiye who was hugging Lu Lizhi.

Jiang Baiye is quite shameless, why is this brat so exaggerated in acting, anyone with a discerning eye can tell that he directed and acted himself, doesn't it seem that he cares about Song Haocheng very much.

"return."

"Ah?" He Min was stunned for suddenly not going as agreed.

"What do you want, I'll help you." As he said, Jiang Baiye stood up with one arm in his arms.

Lu Lizhi didn't know whether to struggle or not, he hesitated for a while, Jiang Baiye carried him to the cabinet that He Min randomly pointed at.

"That suitcase, you, help me take it down..." He Min looked at the suitcase above the counter, which was brought by Senior Brother Lu from home for him.

Lu Lizhi planned to get down, but Jiang Baiye clasped him violently and declared, "I can handle it."

Yes, Jiang Baiye easily took it off with one hand, but Lu Lizhi was still ashamed by his childish and deliberate behavior.

Song Haocheng vaguely realized something, and his handsome face turned red. This "Qi Jiu" seemed to have misunderstood him, did he hear the previous rumors?

After showing off his skills, Jiang Baiye carried the suitcase to He Min with one hand, and did not put Lu Lizhi down the whole time, as if he was a pendant on his body, with ease, showing a man's endless sense of strength.

It's like the male divides the territory, and He Min, a little kid who doesn't understand anything, is taken aback for a while.

In the end, Song Haocheng didn't know how he left, he only remembered the last scene, Lu Lizhi sighed, and kissed the corner of the man's mouth with a helpless and doting look.

Jiang Baiye was coaxed to arrive, and he also achieved his goal of deterring his love rivals. Finally, he left with two finished food boxes, arrogantly.

He Min described, "Brother Bai Ye is like a big cock fighting for victory."

Lu Lizhi, "..."

The New Year's Examination is coming in the blink of an eye. This is a test of hundreds of students who are all scholars, regardless of whether they are in the upper house, the inner house, or the outer house.

Basically, the students in the foreign dormitory will do badly in the exam, but it is also an important opportunity to regain their grades.

Yu Zhijie was full of confidence, and wanted to win a spot for a granary student, while Lu Lizhi and Song Haocheng wanted to be assigned to a better dormitory.

Teachers teach in every class, and each teacher is good at different content. There is no difference in what they teach, but the progress is completely different.

The outer dormitory is the loosest, and the upper dormitory is the most tense as a person who will take the provincial examination next year, and the speed of lectures will be much faster.

Lu Lizhi wanted to get into Shangshe, and he got in with his own ability, instead of relying on the strict magistrate's relationship at the beginning.

The annual examination starts on the twenty-sixth day of the twelfth lunar month, and ends on the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month. In the afternoon, the results will be released, and the prefectural schools also have the list of prefectural schools, which are posted at the gate for everyone outside to see.

Since the morning, many students' families have rushed over from all over the country to pick them up.

Now when they saw the red list posted, they all crowded around excitedly, wanting to find out the names of their children.

Someone saw it at a glance, and someone suddenly slapped his head, "Look at me, I can't read, what am I doing for fun!"

He hurriedly asked the people around him who could read, "Did you see Li Haixing's name?"

"Which classroom does your child belong to?"

"I don't know, he is a Tongsheng."

"Tongsheng's list over there is the list of scholars."

Suddenly, the weather-beaten old man showed envy, "Scholar, what a great scholar, even the rankings are different, posted in the most conspicuous place!"

Jiang Baiye is tall, standing outside the crowd, he can see Lu Lizhi's name at a glance, and he is always in that position, so people can easily find him.

"As expected of my family, Li Zhi, you can do whatever you want!"

People who have passed the outer test, the inner test, and even the upper test have won the first place in the test. Jiang Baiye is more excited than himself in the first test, with pride surging in his chest, and he told the He family next to him.

The two of them were also overjoyed, smiling happily, "I knew that the three characters in that position were Lu Lizhi!"

At this time, a gentle woman's voice sounded beside him, "Little brother, can you help me find Song Haocheng's name, I don't know how to read it."

Jiang Baiye was taken aback, guessing that it should be Song Haocheng's mother, and then remembered another incident. It was mentioned in the book that Song Haocheng's mother was infected with the epidemic.His son will have to delay the scientific examination because of the funeral.

Song Haocheng didn't even know about it. When his mother heard the news when he was ranked second in high school, she was suddenly relieved and died on the day when he was happiest.

This matter has also become Song Haocheng's heart disease all his life, and he often dare not think about it.

Jiang Baiye wasn't sympathizing with Song Haocheng, but suddenly remembered - the epidemic.

Counting the time, it will be the beginning of spring next year, the season of severe cold and the growth of all things. The first case appeared from nowhere and spread to countless places at once.

Zhu Weicao prepared a lot in his workshop. He took back all the ones that were in the mountains last year, and only sold a small part to Dr. Sun. Most of them were still stored in the warehouse. This matter still confused several masters.puzzled.

Leaving these things aside, Jiang Baiye found Song Haocheng's name, which was also a very prominent position, "The first place in the house, and the twenty-third place among all students."

"Neishe? Is he promoted to class?"

"Yes, congratulations. My aunt doesn't seem to be in good health. You can go to the Sun's Pharmacy in Changlin County when you have time."

The woman was slightly stunned, anyone who was told by a stranger that she was in poor health, and even suspected of recommending someone to see a doctor, would not like it, but Mother Song still nodded.

"Okay, thank you, little brother, I will take note of your words."

Jiang Baiye's expression was too sincere, but Changlin County was far away from her home, and Song's mother forgot about it when she turned around...

At this moment, the teaching bell rang, and soon, a group of students jumped out happily like birds leaving the nest.

It is not unusual for there to be such a lively scene every holiday. What is strange is that many students are holding a long wooden box in their hands and sliding on the ground.

And those students who were originally carrying burdens and bags almost freed their hands and bodies, and could walk quickly by pulling at will with one hand.

Those who had a lot of things pulled the two boxes smoothly and freely, but the eyes of these people outside were wide-eyed, and there was a burst of discussion that had never seen the world.

No matter how many times a group of students have pulled it, they are still very excited now. As soon as they ran out, they would show off to their family members how amazing this thing is.

Jiang Dazhu was a little embarrassed, especially when he heard these most promising people say "a carpenter with extraordinary craftsmanship", "exquisite design, exquisite workmanship, perfect details", "helped us a lot, I am going to buy a bigger one""So.

He has an indescribable sense of pride!

The eye sockets couldn't stop getting hot.

To be a useful person, to be a useful person to thousands of students, this sense of accomplishment is really wonderful!

The He family on the side is looking around at this moment, looking left and right, there are few who can compare with her parents.

There are handsome ones with different styles, but they are all weak and gentle scholars, with no power to restrain their hands, and even their luggage needs to be carried by family members.

Some of them deliberately put on a posture, and they were thousands of miles away from Li Zhi.

"It would be strange if Li Zhi could see it!"

It wasn't until the crowd in the brigade left that Lu Lizhi was able to come out, mainly because he was detained for a while by Master Yi and Professor Huang.

As a result, many people came to him to ask him for advice on the method of warming books. Lu Lizhi thought about Jiang Baiye who was waiting outside, and refused them one by one. When he came out, there were still a lot of people around him.

The momentum is not small, and the people around frequently look sideways.

Lu Lizhi looked distressed, Song Haocheng saw Jiang Baiye not far away at a glance, took the initiative to help him evacuate the people, and even answered some of their questions for Lu Lizhi.

Everyone let him go, and Lu Lizhi smiled gratefully at him.

"It's bad, that man looks good!" He slapped his chin, then looked at the other person who quickly approached to talk to Lu Lizhi, "That's not bad either."

Jiang Bai said wildly, mother, your eyes are sharp, those two guys are Song Haocheng and Yi Shuyun.

But he needs to clarify one thing.

"Li Zhi just likes me, not men, he doesn't like other men, maybe he doesn't like girls yet."

He was so thick-skinned by him.

After receiving the person, the family happily returned to Qingshui Village for the New Year.

A few days ago, Jiang Baiye's family prepared generous annual gifts, some for his mother's little sisters, and some for Wang Lizheng, Uncle Luo, Granny Li, and several masters and stewards in his workshop, which were later regarded as year-end awards.

Real bacon, pastries, brown sugar and wine, even rice noodles and live chickens, ducks, fish and geese.

Jiang Baiye hurried back and released the helpers in the workshop to go home for the New Year. The masters were all grinning from ear to ear when they received the New Year gifts.

Jiang Baiye respected the masters who said they would work together with him at the beginning, and even helped him maintain the operation of the workshop when he was away. So far, there have been no major problems, and he is willing to associate with them.

With the arrival of the first month, the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year soon became stronger. Even though many young and middle-aged people in Qingshui Village were still building ditches in the wind and snow outside, no one knew what to do.Face, want to have good luck in the coming year.

However, on New Year's Eve, something happened.

Mrs. He had just returned from pulling a few radishes from the snow-covered garden in the morning when he brought a piece of news.

"Jiang Dashan is dead, he froze to death in the snow last night!"

Jiang Dazhu, who was washing the dishes, smashed a bowl.

"What are you doing, Suisui is safe, Suisui is safe!" Mrs. He muttered, quickly picked up the debris and threw it at the base of the wall outside.

"Before he was hit by a board, didn't he feel better, and his legs were crippled. Later, Mrs. Li ran away, and he was taken care of by Mr. Jiang. Mr. Jiang was not very good. He even wandered around our house a few times, but in the endThere is no more trouble."

Jiang Dazhu had mixed feelings in his heart. Since that incident, he deliberately cut off the news of that family, and he really felt better.

Jiang Baiye sighed, "Father, if you want to see it, go and see it."

Jiang Dazhu's eyes turned red, "I don't want to look at it, there's nothing to see." Then he lowered his head and continued to wash the dishes.

Lu Lizhi put down his book and went to help, just wanting to comfort him, no matter how vicious and selfish those people are, they are blood relatives with broken bones and tendons.

But the past resentment dissipated, Jiang Baiye had long since ignored them, and didn't even know about Li's escape.

"The New Year's Eve dinner will be ready later, let's send some over there." As long as the old man Jiang doesn't make trouble, Jiang Baiye doesn't mind doing superficial work.

The New Year's Eve dinner for a family of four didn't prepare too much, but it was all exquisite and delicious. After all, Jiang Dazhu went to Lao Jiang's house with a bowl of food that was prepared in advance when everyone was not paying attention.

When he came back, the other three didn't say anything, just started eating, and the atmosphere quickly turned around.

In the evening, Jiang Baiye took Lu Lizhi to set off homemade fireworks. When a firework burst into the sky, it shocked the whole village.

"what is that?"

"A vision from heaven?"

"That's the smell of firecrackers. It's some kind of fireworks that Jiang Baiye made up. Go out and watch it. It's so beautiful!"

Hearing this, a group of children screamed excitedly and ran towards Jiang Baiye's house.

Many of them were given one or two small "fairy sticks". The flames burned and sizzled, which became the most memorable and happiest experience in their lives.

The fireworks have been set off for a while, even though they are made of earth, they are relatively rough, compared to what Jiang Baiye saw in modern times, they are far worse.

But Lu Lizhi still looked at it so much that he didn't want to blink, his eyes were full of emotion.

He also thought that this year was so different from previous years, he was no longer alone, as cold and lonely as snow.

He had almost everything he wanted—

Love, money, fame and fortune, no worries about food and drink, a satisfied new home, friends and classmates who struggle together, teachers who support him, and like-minded partners...

The whole person is soaked in deep love and a rich life, and no longer has to worry about the hopeless tomorrow.

Old Jiang's house, seeing the brilliant fireworks rising into the sky in the distance, the old man Jiang who was sitting at the table picked up the bowl on the table.

It was full of meat dishes that he had been longing for, as if he wanted him to eat more, a bowl of rice was well-pressed, and each dish was very filling and delicious.

Although it was already cold, Old Man Jiang ate very satisfactorily, but tears of regret quickly gathered in his eye sockets that had been sunken by countless years of age, fell into the cold dish, and was eaten by him in one bite.

Jiang Dashan's body was simply packed up by the clan members and placed outside the lobby, covered with a layer of white cloth.

The old man Jiang ate up a bowl of rice without a single grain of rice left, and then rummaged through the boxes and cabinets, trying to find something.

In the end, he found nothing. He collapsed all of a sudden, climbed onto the cold bed with difficulty, lay flat, and looked at the roof beams above his head quietly.

The last sliver of candle in the room was struggling to burn, flickering a faint light, and slowly sinking into the night.

Before dawn the next day, there was a hasty knock on the door of Jiang Baiye's house, and Jiang Baiye, who was sleeping warmly and comfortably in his arms, didn't want to move at all.

It was Jiang Dazhu who ran out and opened the door.

Only a low voice was heard, and soon there was no movement.

Lu Lizhi realized that something was wrong and pulled Jiang Baiye up. When the two got up, they realized that old man Jiang had also gone last night.

Jiang Dazhu was calm at first, but when he arrived at Old Jiang's house, he couldn't help it when he saw the clean bowl on the table.

"This is my dear father!"

Although they broke up, according to the rules, Jiang Dazhu and He Shi still don't plan to visit their relatives to pay New Year's greetings this year, which is the last bit of respect for old man Jiang.

Jiang Baiye still had to do what he did, he was like a stranger to old man Jiang now, so he brought Lu Lizhi to He's house on the first day of the new year, and had a meal, not wanting to be affected by his mood.

Originally, I was thinking that it would be rare to not have to cook, but when I arrived at the He family, I found that everyone in the He family, including some unfamiliar faces, who might be relatives, were all eating, cooking, and potting!

Isn't this too embarrassing?

Lu Lizhi, who hadn't eaten hot pot for a long time, read it again.

The two of them sat with Mr. Da, and they admired Mr. Da's unrestrained attitude of not going home after the Chinese New Year.

"I'm afraid your boss is going crazy. He thought you were bribed by us, and he is probably preparing something secretly again."

Mr. Da Da snorted a few times. These days, he received letters one after another, and he found various excuses to urge him to go back.

Is it not trusting him, or is it not trusting him?

Mrs. Da Da was very upset, and he didn't bother to leave when he planned to go back.

"That Hanmo Pavilion, when will it open? I haven't heard it several times. How can they close the door?"

Lu Lizhi, "..."

"People are also celebrating the New Year, although there are definitely people who are willing to come and listen during the New Year."

As soon as Jiang Baiye finished speaking with Mrs. Da Da, there was a knock on the door of He's house.

Butler He came in and announced, "It's from the Shanyitang, and they said they came from the capital!"
