Chapter Fifteen: The Country Bumpkin Enters the City

about her learning something, but thinking about it carefully, I couldn't bear to... A young girl, she was only relaxed and carefree at home for these ten years or so."Li Laosi said nonchalantly, "Ou..."Madam is willing to take us in, she's giving our Li family face. But madam doesn't know, my eldest son has already passed the imperial examination and is a scholar. He is currently studying abroad, so our journey here is to seek him out. We would be letting down Madam's kindness."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sun also felt that she had been taking things for granted.

Li Lao Da was a scholar, and the Li family was considered to be a scholarly family. How could she become a servant This was simply an insult.

She hurriedly called a maidservant to fetch twenty taels of silver, insisting on giving them to Li Laotai, and also wrote down the address of the Sun family.

If the Li family is in trouble, feel free to seek refuge there as well.

Mrs. Li, unable to refuse, could only accept it, and her heart was filled with even more gratitude towards Mrs. Sun.

Remembering that the Sun family still had seven or eight days of sailing ahead, he left the nanny goat behind.

Mrs. Sun was delighted because although the wet nurse had recovered some, her milk was still not enough for the child.

Li Laotai held her granddaughter and walked out, feeling guilty for sending her granddaughter's allowance.

But when she looked down at her granddaughter, the little one was scratching her hands, as if bidding farewell to the young mistress of the Sun family.

She couldn't help but smile again, leaning down to kiss her granddaughter.

"My dear little Fu Niuer, you are such a good child. Grandma, for the rest of my life, I'll only spoil you! No, the entire Li family will spoil you! Without you, our home wouldn't be so peaceful!"

Jia Yin nestled in her grandmother's arms, babbling a few times, and finally glanced at Xiao Mei from the Sun family.

Little one, see you again!

While they were at it, the Li family also took the opportunity to bid farewell to Wang the steward and their familiar maidservants and footmen.

Soon, the large ship docked at the pier and the Li family disembarked one by one.

It took the Li family a long time to come back to their senses, walking far and remaining silent all along.

"Are we really in Kyoto"

"Is this Kyoto Luckily we took a boat, otherwise it would take us a month to get here."

"We're standing on the ground, how come we still feel dizzy"

Li La Er was the most practical of them all. He approached his mother and asked, "Mother, it's still two or three hundred miles to Uncle’s place. Should we find a carriage or caravan to travel with"

Jia Yin was currently wide-eyed, looking around at everything. Since she had crossed over, she had never seen such a bustling ancient street before. She was incredibly curious.

Seeing this, Li Laotai quickly said.

"Even if we hire a carriage or join a caravan, we can't leave right away. We need to find somewhere to stay first, and let our little Fortune have a good look at the sights."

Li Laoer was amused by his niece's curious expression. The baby, just a month old, was plump and clean, with a rich variety of expressions. She was delightful to look at no matter how you looked at her.

He reached out and touched his niece's cheek, imitating her nephews.

"I'll also bask in Lady Fu's good fortune and find a nice place to live."

The Li family walked along, quickly leaving the dock and arriving at a nearby shopping street.

Here, the pier is less crowded and more prosperous.

A crowd walked along the street paved with cobblestones. On both sides of the street were shops lined up one after another.

The structure is made of blue bricks and wooden carvings, with pink walls and gray tiles. The window frames and lintels are also adorned with exquisitely intricate patterns.

There are countless small stalls outside the store, with a dazzling array of goods on display, including all kinds of eating utensils.

The Li family’s faces were full of amazement, and several young boys couldn’t help but be excited, looking this way and that.

If it weren't for their parents pulling them along, they would have no idea where they went.

Jia Yin also strained her neck, twisting her little head to look around. Her eyes were full of ancient charm, making her constantly marvel at the wisdom of the working people.

"Yay yay..." Jiayin became happier and happier the more she looked, accidentally tugging on her grandmother's hair.

Old Mrs. Li directly propped the baby up, supporting her granddaughter's head with one hand.

Jia Yin could finally see the world with normal vision, her mood was better, and she even laughed out loud.

“Look how happy our little Fu Niu is!” Li Laotai wasn't tired at all, she supported her granddaughter leaning against her shoulder.

Tao Hongying also laughed along, just about to speak when Wu Cuifang suddenly shouted.

"Second brother, second brother! Have you seen Erdog He was just by my side, and now he's gone in a blink of an eye. Please help me find him!"

Li Laer was never fond of Wu Erdog. When he heard that Wu had disappeared, he didn't even bat an eyelid.

"He's a living person, he can't just disappear! He must be wandering around nearby. We just need to find him."

But Wu Cuiflower didn't trust him. Seeing that Li Laoer was unwilling to help her, she simply sat on the ground and cried.

"I don't want to live anymore, my only brother is gone, and you don't even help, you're too heartless!"

As soon as she started acting like that, all the passersby's eyes turned to her, making the Li family very embarrassed.

Li Laoer quickly pulled Wu Cuiflower up from the ground. Wu Cuiflower didn't dare to make too much of a scene, she choked back her tears and looked at Li Laotai.

Old Lady Li's face was as cold as ice, she regretted a hundred thousand times for sticking to Wu Erdog like chewing gum.

But that wouldn't do any good now, so he could only instruct his sons, "Go around and look carefully. Be careful not to cause trouble."

Li Laer was intimidated by Wu Cuifang and gritted his teeth in anger. He ultimately had to coax his younger brothers out.

Li Jiaren also disliked his mother and uncle, but he didn't know what to say. He found a tree shade by the roadside and persuaded his grandmother, "Grandma, hold Fu Niuer for a while."

Jia Yin liked this older brother's steadiness. She smiled at him and waved a small hand, as if cheering him on.

Having a top-tier mother, this brother will probably have a hard time in the future...

Li Jiarren didn't know if he understood his younger sister's kindness. He smiled and squeezed her small hand, then stood behind grandma, shielding himself from the scorching sun.

After half an hour, everyone was a bit worried and anxious. Finally, Li Laosi returned, dragging Wu Ergou by his collar with a gloomy expression.

Wu Er looked very resentful, but he was afraid of Lao Si's fists, so he could only shrink his head and pretend to be pitiful.

Needless to say, everyone guessed he was up to no good again.

"Old Four, don't hold onto him like that, you're choking him!"

Wu Cuiflower nervously followed behind, reaching out to try and save her brother from Li Laos's grasp. But after a cold glare from Li Laos, she hesitated.

Li Laosi directly threw Wu Ergou to the ground and said.

"My second brother and I brought him out of the casino. This kid has guts, running off to gamble!"

If we go any later, he'll have to borrow money from the casino! He has nothing in his hands. If he loses, we'll have to clean up his mess!

Li Laosi became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and kicked Wu Erdog again.

Their whole family was kind and took him in to escape the north. The kid wasn't grateful at all, what a treacherous jerk!

Upon hearing this, Li Laotai's eyes turned to Wu Er with extreme disgust.

"Wu Erdog, do you think that just because your sister married into our family, we should be obligated to protect you from harm We took pity on you before because you were pitiful and thought you were going to die. Now that you've reached Kyoto, get out! Our family doesn't want you anymore!"

Wu Ergou had no money on him, and if he left Li's house, he would probably starve to death. He quickly crawled to the side of Old Madam Li's feet.

"Auntie, I was wrong! I just saw the casino and my hand itched a bit. I won't do it again, please don't abandon me!"ome for a while longer, until your family prepares everything, and then you can leave.""Why, Grandma!" Jiā'ān immediately protested. "We still want to go back to Quanzhou on the next boat.""Yes, Grand...
