idyllic tranquility

In one side room of Li Zhai, a middle-aged man looked troubled, explaining something to a 15-year-old boy.If He Ning was here, he would definitely recognize that the middle-aged man among them was Steward Li who he came to look for.

"Second young master, it's not that I don't want to help you. It's because the master has explained it. If I help you, it's the same as disobeying the master's order!"

"Hey, don't scare me with my dad. If you don't tell me, how can dad know?" Butler Li's remarks made Li Han very upset. Isn't this an obvious evasion?

"Oh, my second young master, I'm just a housekeeper, and the master is the head of the house. There's nothing in this family that the master doesn't know!"

Steward Li is able to climb to his current position, because he understands the temperament of the people above him very well.The head of the family, Li Nengfu, manages his family well, but what he dislikes the most is deception from servants.As the only butler of the Li family, he still wants to stay in this position for a few more years, not wanting to ruin his future.

"Stop perfunctory me there, and don't be long-winded. Tell me if you can do it."

"Second young master, don't embarrass me. Otherwise, you can ask the lady to give you an accurate word, and I will be able to handle things for you."

"Aren't you talking nonsense? If my little sister can agree, I still need to come to you?"

"Second young master, it's useless for you to come to me for something that both the master and the lady disagree with. Even if you lend me a hundred courage, I will..."

"Okay, okay, you can't do this, so why don't you just give me 200 taels of silver?" Li Han was impatient and worried that people passing by would see him after a long time, but he still wanted to fight for it .

"...Second young master, it's not like you don't know, now that the young lady is the housekeeper, how can I bypass the young lady and give you two envoys?"

"You, you, what an inflexible piece of wood! Hmph!"

Seeing that he couldn't speak to the other party, and there were footsteps not far away, Li Han finally lost his patience and left angrily.

Butler Li looked at the other party's angry back, shook his head, and sighed in his heart: My second young master, when will I really grow up!

Leaving without mentioning Li Han's anger, just talking about Li Butler who watched Li Han off, and then rushed to a place without any delay.And all the servants in Li's house knew that that direction was where the lady usually did business.

"I heard that the second brother is looking for you?"

Butler Li, who had just been invited into the room, heard Li Xinran, who was sitting there looking at the account book, suddenly say this before he could speak.

I was so shocked that Steward Li, who had just entered the door, broke into a cold sweat in this warm and cold spring. The young lady has only been in charge of the house for a few months, and she has already mastered the news in the house so well!

"Yes, Miss, Second Young Master asked me to go outside in secret to make him a handy weapon." At such a time, all fools know that honesty is the best policy. Offending Second Young Master or something is more serious than offending your immediate superior?

"I knew that if he wasn't allowed to touch the weapons at home, he would think about recruiting himself to mess around. Li Zhan, recently sent more people to look after Brother Dian, especially during the days when his father was in Yiyang City , put him in jail, otherwise, I’m asking for you!”

"Yes!" For Li Xinran's request, Li Zhan has always done his best.

"Also, don't let the second brother disturb the sister-in-law."

The meaning of Li Xinran's words was clear to everyone present, it was nothing but fear that Li Han would go to his sister-in-law to intercede.

Two years ago, Li Hao, the eldest son of the Li family, married Wei Shi, a daughter of a noble family in Yiyang City. Although the daughter was a concubine, she had strict family education and good manners. He loves the following two younger brothers and Yaomei very much.

Last fall, the news that Li's parents-in-law was pregnant again made everyone in the Li family happy and at the same time accepted the hostess in a true sense.

It's just that this child, which is related to the next generation of the Li family, is a bit unstable, and the doctor also advised Wei to work less and rest more.

Wei's first child was unstable, and he also knew that he should let go of family affairs and take more rest.Coincidentally, Li Xinran has reached the age of blind date, it's time to learn some things about running a family.Wei Shi then taught Li Xinran little by little about the family affairs, and gradually let him go, and raised his baby with peace of mind.

Li Xinran, as the little princess held in the palm of the Li family's family, although her temperament is domineering and a little willful, she is not the kind of person who doesn't know good from bad.The elder sister-in-law Wei has cared and cared for the juniors since she got married, and she rewards and punishes the servants clearly and appropriately. Li Xinran admires the soft and tough charm that is unique to women in her demeanor.

Therefore, the little princess Li Xinran, who made the whole Li family helpless, was willing to listen to the elder sister-in-law's words, concentrated on her studies, and helped the elder sister-in-law share the housework.

Surprisingly, Li Xinran, who has never been involved in the field of family management, is very handy in learning.Especially in terms of insight, even Wei Shi, who taught her, is ashamed of himself.Ever since she dealt with a few servants who deceived him to make an example, Li Zhai never dared to underestimate the servants of the little master.

Since she was in charge of the house, she has learned a lot from her sister-in-law, and she has been able to do housework with ease in a few months.Everyone in the Li family gradually stopped treating her like a child, including her father Li Nengfu and his three older brothers, and they were willing to tell her more things about the family that she didn't know before.

For Li Xinran, they were willing to love her like this for the rest of their lives, but that didn't mean they wanted to raise her up as a fool who didn't understand anything.True pampering is not only pampering her now, but also making responsible plans for her future.

The more she learns, the more she understands, the faster Li Xinran grows.Just over ten years old, she has learned a lot, and gradually changed her playful attitude.

The serious little princess seems to be growing rapidly towards another pillar of the family.

But this time Li Nengfu's real purpose of going to Yiyang City for a banquet, only Li's father and eldest son Li Hao knew, even the eldest daughter-in-law Wei was kept secret.

But as the current head of the Li family, Li Xinran is familiar with every penny in the family.

More than a dozen good horses purchased at high prices, sharp weapons issued by the guards at home, father's uncharacteristically high-profile dinner, and elder brother's secret movements, under all kinds of unusual signs, even if no one told him, Li Xinran was aware of the family. s difference.

But now Li Xinran is no longer the kid who pestered adults to satisfy his own curiosity.Although she discovered these differences, she didn't insist on getting to the bottom of it. Instead, she silently helped her father and elder brother cover it up.

And that's why she was so strict with her second brother. After all, before her father left, she had repeatedly told him not to let her second brother touch weapons. Although she didn't understand, she didn't hinder the implementation.

Time passed day by day in Li Xinran's learning master's house, and in a blink of an eye, it was the day when He Ning and his party set off for Yiyang City.

Early this morning, He Ning was woken up by He An to pack up and set off.

Having been here for so many years, He Ning is still not used to the days without an alarm clock. Fortunately, He An's biological clock is more accurate than the alarm clock. If He An wakes him up, he doesn't have to worry about getting up late.

"Dalang, don't wear shoes for a while, I made you a new pair, try it."

He An's clothes-making skills are not very good, but he has great strength. The soles of Na's shoes are very thick, and the shoes he made fit He Ning's feet very well.Two people you like to make, I like to wear, this is the tacit understanding of life.

"This pair is pretty good now, why change to a new one?"

He Ning has gotten used to the thrifty and frugal life of country people. In the past, he always wore out his shoes before replacing them with new ones.Today He An took the initiative to "luxury", which made He Ning quite uncomfortable.

"Isn't this going to the city? It's better to dress decently when going out."

What he said was just one of the reasons. In fact, He An felt panic these few days, always afraid that He Ning would suffer outside.On the other hand, he felt that he was worrying too much.After all, this is He Ning's first time traveling far away, and he hasn't been with him yet, so he is overthinking.

In order to appease himself, He An had to work hard on He Ning's clothes and silver taels, thickening and thickening the soles of his shoes, and persuading He Ning to bring more silver taels with him.

He Ning could see He An's uneasiness, although he thought it was just a trip to the city, in his previous life it was just a few bus stops, and he followed a few adults, there would be no mistakes at all.But in order to reassure He An, He Ning still put on a sleeve arrow made before.For the convenience of carrying and not showing off, only three finished arrow branches were brought, but several metal arrowheads were prepared.

"Here, you have seen the power of this sleeve arrow, I will take it, so you can rest assured."

He Ning's actions reassured him a lot, but after thinking about it, he took off the hairpin from the opponent's head and replaced it with a streamlined wooden one.

This wooden hairpin looks ordinary, but it actually has a lot of meaning.The hairpin turned around and pulled out, but inside was a sharp metal weapon.At first glance, it looks like a sword out of its sheath, but if you look closely, you will find that this "sword" is streamlined throughout. The two ends of the "sword body" are smooth, the middle is flat, and the blade is opened, and the tail end is tapered and sharp.

This wooden hairpin can be used as a temporary tool, or as a sharp weapon to hurt people. What is rare is that it is hidden in the inconspicuous wooden hairpin, and ordinary people will not notice it at all.

"Okay, adding this hairpin is enough, don't add any more. I will be in danger if I follow Uncle He and the others. On the contrary, you should pay more attention to the refugees running around at home. You have all the weapons I made before. I know how to use it, and I know where to hide it. Once my father and I leave, the family will be entrusted to you and my uncle to take care of it. When necessary, safety comes first."

The Uncle He that He Ning talks about is He Kui, He Xiaotian's father, an honest and righteous Orion expert, and also the burly man who was pressing He Xiaotian to apologize when He Ning first passed through.

He Kui always felt ashamed of He Ning because of his own son who almost killed someone and was stupid for a while, and later regarded He Ning as his godson and taught him a lot of hunting skills .He also made He Xiaotian jealous several times because of being too kind to He Ning.

He Kui has been hunting in the mountains all year round, and he also knows some medicinal materials. If he is lucky, he will go to Yiyang City to sell some excellent goods, and he can get twice the price of the town.Therefore, with He Kui, who has been to the city several times, accompanying him, everyone felt a lot more at ease.

When the two were talking to each other in the house, He Ning had already packed up, and when someone shouted outside, he went out of the house, met with his father in the yard, took a few pieces of pancakes that his mother had baked early, and set off up.
