Chapter 481: Someone Came Home

e to farm and hunt.The old woman sighed, her eyes filled with a touch of bitterness.After marrying your mother and giving birth to your older brother, your father seemed to have lost his adventurous s...Liu Zhiheng asked, "What do you plan to do Is there a procedure"

"Yes," Mr. Wen took a deep breath, the pain in his eyes gone, replaced by a chilling coldness. "There were arrangements already made, but because the family showed good intentions, I thought they had changed their minds. I didn't expect them to go this far. Then let's just give them one last chance!"

He motioned for everyone to come closer and spoke in a low voice. After finishing, he got up and bowed deeply to everyone, "Whether this plan can be successfully carried out depends entirely on the help of the three of you."

Everyone quickly reached out to help him up, and once he was seated again, Li Lao Er said, "I'll go over to the dock. Lao Si and Da Yong are probably there, they may not have returned in a long time, I'll take some food and drink over."

Li Zhensheng nodded, "As for the situation in Xindu, leave it to me. I'll take care of the city gossip."

Liu Zhiheng sighed, "That yamen's affairs are left to me. There are too many people who like to kick a man when he's down. It's not easy to stop them from really hurting him."

Thus, even though the four of them had discussed everything properly and chatted for a while, they eventually dispersed.

Mr. Wen walked at the end and then grabbed Li Zhensheng.

He took out a handkerchief from his bosom, unfolded it, and revealed a silver bracelet underneath. He had personally selected it at the silver shop, spending ten taels of silver.

His salary wasn't high. After settling official obligations, he was left with only enough for daily expenses. Fortunately, the Li family lent him a small courtyard to live in, otherwise, he would have been forced onto the streets.

These ten ounces of silver were borrowed from Li Zhensheng a few days ago...

He shoved the bracelet into Li Zhensheng's hands and chuckled wryly, "I used the ten taels of silver I borrowed earlier to buy this. Now if I sell it, I'm afraid I won't even get ten taels back. Here, let me return your money first. When I have more silver, I'll make up the difference."

Li Zhensheng didn't want to embarrass him, so he took it directly and said, "I've been busy lately and haven't gotten Fu Niuer anything new. I'll take this back tonight for her to play with."

Mr. Wen's heart suddenly felt a pang of bitterness. He spoke in a low voice, "You know what I envy the most It's your whole family. Your mother is wise, brothers are friendly to each other, sisters-in-law get along well, and even the children are sensible and intelligent..."

Li Zhensheng patted his shoulder and encouraged him: "Don't envy, you've gotten past this hurdle, after you get married, you'll have all of these things!"

Mr. Wen's eyes lit up slightly, and he nodded slowly...

Grandma Li said that she would leave the follow-up matters to the men, and she truly did so, not thinking about it anymore.

Even though Li Lao Er said he was going to rush to the dock that night, she didn't ask any further questions. She only asked Shui Ling to find Hui Niang and see if they should bring some food for Li Yong.

Tao Hongying also missed her husband and had prepared a lot of food and necessities.

Jia Yin, busy as she was, secretly picked two baskets of fruit and two baskets of vegetables from the garden and asked Second Uncle to take them to her father and stepfather.

After Hui Niang also sent some gifts, Li Lao Er jumped into the car and set off with Zheng He and Zheng Feng.

This time, Ye Tong was left behind. He was familiar with the situations of various families in Kyoto. In case the Wen family came to stir up trouble again, perhaps he could be a help to his family...

The dockyard camp bustled with renewed energy as spring arrived.

The soldiers trained diligently every day, eager to cross the river and meet their old "friends," the barbarians on the other side, who had been a thorn in their side all winter.

The Lord had Jiang Cheng and Li Yong, along with several deputy generals, standing under the platform in the center of the drill field, watching as Lao Si wrestled a soldier.

That soldier was very strong, but in Lao Si Li's hands, he was still lifted and thrown down in less than three moves.

Luckily, Old Four Li didn't use much strength. The soldier paused for a moment and then got up. Seeing the Marquis and others in front of him, he blushed.

The Lord Hou didn't scold him, instead encouraging him: "Eat more in the future and practice your Qi diligently. Although you may not be able to beat General Li, it shouldn't be difficult to defeat the barbarians."

"Yes, Lord!" the soldier knelt on one knee and saluted, then ran away. He was surrounded by familiar soldiers and couldn't help but boast, "The lord praised me!"

Li Lao Si jumped down from the platform, grabbed the shirt from Li Yong's hand, and wiped his sweat with it. He laughed, "These kids fought me one after another, but it felt really good to fight like this again! I wonder when we'll go to Jiangbei to kill those barbarians. Everyone’s swords are going to rust if they don't get used."

The lord chuckled and said, “In a few days, I’ll return to Xin Du and discuss it with the emperor. Unless something unexpected happens, we’ll set out in half a month.”

Everyone was delighted to hear this, just then a personal guard rushed in to report, "My lord, Lord Li, the Duke of Zhongshan, is requesting an audience outside the camp."

Mr. Zhongshan, Mr. Li

Everyone was stunned for a moment before they reacted.

Li Lao Si took off running, "It's my second brother! I'm going to pick him up!"

Li Yong also followed closely behind, shouting loudly, "Wait a minute, I'm going too."

It's been a while since they last returned to Suijin Beach, they all miss home.

Now, hearing that someone is coming home, I just want to see them as soon as possible.

Soon, the Li family's carriage arrived at the main tent entrance, and the Marquis and others also returned.

Li Lao Er smiled and stepped forward to pay his respects, "Lord Hou, it's been a long time since you returned. Your family has missed you dearly. There are also some minor matters, so I came to have a look and bring some food as well."

The Lord General helped him up and asked, "How is your health, Madam How is Funiu Has she been mischievous lately"

Li La'er remembered a certain jar and couldn't help but burst into laughter, leaving everyone confused.

He coughed twice and quickly said, “This last point can wait; let’s get down to business first.”

The Marquis nodded, and everyone entered the main tent, leaving Jiang Cheng with his personal soldiers to help Zheng He and Zheng Feng unload things from the carriage.

Lao Er Li arrived in a hurry, there wasn't much time to prepare at home, but the Li family had many people, so they would never run out of food no matter what.

So, the carriage was packed not only with fruits and vegetables, but also with Tao Hongying's previously stored three altars of preserved meat, a can of meat sauce, one hundred bundles of dried noodles, a basket of fried meatballs, and a basket of baked bean paste pancakes.

Seeing several of his personal guards drool with hunger, Jiang Cheng scoffed and said, "Don't make such strange faces. Which time did the Young Master get something good and leave you out! Just wait for me to ask the Young Master how he plans to handle it, first wipe your saliva."

Having said that, he entered the tent. Sure enough, after listening to a few words, the Marquis ordered: “Keep one altar of roasted meat, half the meat sauce and dried noodles, and keep one basket of fruit. Also, send over lunch. Distribute the rest.”

"Yes, Young Master," Jiang Cheng said softly. He quickly brought over a small basin of washed fruit first.

The fruit is very fresh, like it was just picked from the tree, definitely not the shriveled kind that has been stored for a winter.

The lord guessed that it must have been the plump girl who specially brought it to him, and a smile couldn't help but appear on his face. He then asked the plump girl what she had eaten and played at home.

Li Lao Er, seeing this, decided to put aside the important matters first and whispered about his niece's embarrassing stories in a low voice.

This matter, thanks to the kindness of the village head and several elders, became known throughout the village. However, it was also successfully contained within the village and did not spread further.

So, the Lord Hou and Li Lao Si and others truly don't know.

Suddenly, they were heard laughing so hard that their tent nearly overturned.d live happily ever after. But once I signed, you immediately seized me and drugged me, claiming I was a servant girl who climbed into my husband's bed and violated the family law! ""You are a bunch o...
