Chapter 814: Young and Strong!

d chickens, seven or eight rabbits, a coat, and three wild boars. The harvest was truly abundant. 。The village chief took two puffs from his pipe, glancing at Li Lao Si and Liu Diao Tou. 。Guests came...Of course, Jia Yin would readily agree to anything. Now she had successfully tied herself to grandma's side.

Jia Ren and the others rode in a carriage. Seeing their sister standing at the door with hopeful eyes, they couldn't help but laugh.

Actually, when she can just go out casually on weekdays, my younger sister mostly chills at home. She doesn't even want to move unless grandma urges her.

Now she was truly lazy at home, and she felt a pang of restlessness wanting to go out.

Li Ge'er said, "Big brother, let's go to the market this afternoon. If we find any novel trinkets, buy some for our younger sister."

"Well, the other day my sister said her gold-plated contract had disappeared, so I thought I'd buy her some more." Jiaren agreed and was about to say something else when the carriage suddenly stopped.

It turned out that Mr. Chiang and Gu Li were standing by the roadside, and Jia Ren opened the window and bowed to greet them.

"Mr. Chiang, are you going into the city" Jiarren asked.

"No," Mr. Chiang waved his hand and said, "I need some supplies, I'm going to have Gu Li make a trip. Where are you guys headed"

Jia Ren replied, “Mr. Mo Mei in the city is holding a poetry gathering, we're going to join in the fun.”

Mr. Chiang envied, "Mr. Mo Mei's poetry gathering is only held once a year, it must be very lively."

"It's a pity that I have an exam at the academy today, otherwise, I would go with you to broaden my horizons."

Having said that, he pulled over Gu Li and said, "Although Gu Li is my book boy, he is also a well-read scholar. If you are convenient, could you take him to broaden his horizons"

"Even when he came back in the evening, he could tell me a new and interesting story."

Gu Li is now fifteen or sixteen years old. She usually goes out and helps the county lord manage her business. When she has free time, she still lives and studies at the academy.

Although Mr. Jiang was nominally my master, many times he felt more like an older brother to me than a servant.

Therefore, Jiārén and others were also willing to give Mr. Chiang face.

"Alright, we're going to the poetry gathering and then to the shopping street anyway. Let Gu Li pick up anything you need while he's there."

After Jia Ren finished speaking, he told Zheng Qi, who was sitting in the back of the car, to open the door.

Gu Li bowed, then got into the car.

The carriage continued to rumble forward.

Gu Li's temper, has always been taciturn, this time but rare to speak up and asked: "County Master know there is a poetry meeting, afraid also want to go and see"

Jia Ren and his brothers all nodded. Mao Ge'er even said with glee, "Just now, your eyes were glued to the carriage, following us."

As people chatted idly, they quickly entered the city and arrived at a tasteful villa in the southern part of the city.

Above the door lintel, a plaque hung with three characters: Mòméiyuan.

This is Mr. Mo Mei's tranquil residence. The name of the courtyard and Mr. Mo Mei's sobriquet are actually due to a plum garden within the courtyard.

There were also a dozen or so ink plum trees in the garden, which were very rare and precious.

As soon as Jia Ren and his brothers got out of the car, they ran into Lu Zong and Jia Xu. Since they were familiar with each other, they naturally had a pleasant chat.

When the jester had entered the courtyard, a young servant led them to the plum garden.

Today, many guests came. Besides seven or eight respected gentlemen who were in the pavilion, the rest had chairs set up outside of it.

As the weather turned cooler, the pavilion was enclosed with brocade on all sides, except for one open face, facing the gathered crowd.

Of course, behind the chairs and tables outside the pavilion, there were screens erected, and there was also a charcoal brazier for warming.

But even so, it's still not warm.

Luckily, there was always hot tea available, with servants constantly refilling the cups.

Guo Wenhao and Zhimin, Xujie arrived a moment earlier. Seeing Jiarren and the others arrive, they quickly stepped forward.

This one is called "Shixiong," and that one is called "Big Brother." It's very lively.

They were all young and handsome lads, each standing tall and with striking features, naturally drawing the eye.

Especially the three Li brothers.

Jiarren was dressed in a sky-blue brocade robe, the color of rain after sun, with a jade belt around his waist. A dark blue cloak draped over his shoulders, further highlighting his gentle and elegant demeanor.

Li Ge'er was dressed in moon-white, with a silver crown holding back his hair. He wore a sky-blue sash embroidered with clouds, which harmonized with the camel-colored cloak he wore over it, also embroidered with clouds.

He was the most handsome among his brothers. He had fair skin, star-shaped eyes with dark eyebrows, red lips and white teeth. When he spoke and laughed, it seemed as if all the flowers and guests in the garden paled in comparison.

Even a dashing young gentleman is nothing special.

Mao Ge'er was dressed in azure blue, with a crimson gold belt adorned with a jade pendant and a string of beads. He wore a cloak of dark red silk.

He was naturally cheerful, always with a smile on his face and looking full of energy.

The rest, namely Lu Cong and Jia Xu, were also well-dressed and exuded an extraordinary bearing.

Zhimin and Xiujie came from wealthy families, having enjoyed a life of luxury and fine clothing since childhood. Naturally, they exuded an air of nobility.

Only Guo Wenhao, who was not tall and rather thin, had a few traces of coldness in his brows and eyes.

Moreover, he had no parents or elders to look after him at home. His clothes and shoes were all ordinary, and even on a day like this, he didn't wear a cloak when he came out.

Jiārén felt sorry for Guō Wén Hào's loneliness and helplessness, and as fellow disciples, he should take care of him. So, he took off his cloak and put it on Guō Wén Hào.

Guo Wenhao quickly declined, "Senior brother, I'm not cold."

"You wear that, you're weak to begin with, be careful not to catch a cold again." Jia Ren nodded at Zheng Qi, and Zheng Qi ran out.

Jiarren then said to Guo Wenhao, "We have spares in our carriage. We can get them quickly."

Li Ge'er also laughed and said, "When we went out, my younger sister insisted on taking two extra cloaks. We thought it was a bother at the time, but now it's come in handy."

Guo Wenhao tugged at his cloak, looking a bit apologetic. "I left in such a hurry that I forgot to add another layer of cloak."

His attendant also shrank his neck. His master might have forgotten, but this servant forgetting was simply incompetent.

Jia Ren, who often visited the Guo household, also chimed in: “Even if you dislike being served by maids, at least find a grandmother figure (governess).

”

When it comes to managing daily necessities like food, clothing, shelter, and transportation, women are generally more meticulous.

Guo Wenhao smiled but said nothing. His servant, as if seizing an opportunity, boldly interjected, "Young Master Li, could you please persuade our young master This lowly one has spoken, but the young master refuses to listen."

The young master said, "After I marry a young mistress, those maids and serving girls will take advantage of their seniority and bully the young mistress!"

This statement not only made Jia Ren laugh and cry, but also Li Ge and Lu Zong and others laughed.

Guo Wenhao's face flushed even redder, he glared fiercely at the servant boy, then quickly explained, "I was... just joking with him."

"I just said it casually because I'd heard about it before!"

"Haha, Brother Wenhao, didn't expect this from you. You haven't even brought your wife home yet, but you already know how to treat her well!"

Cat brother was the only one in this group younger than Guo Wenhao. He was now hugging his shoulders and winking, making Guo Wenhao even redder.

Everyone burst into laughter, and those who heard the commotion looked over. They didn't care.

In the pavilion, several elderly gentlemen stroked their beards and questioned Mr. Mok Mei.

"Old Man Mei, who are those young lads They look quite promising!"

Mr. Mo Mei snorted, these old friends were familiar with each other on weekdays, so it was not a big deal for them to call him an old man.

Upon looking into the garden, he said, “It should be the three sons of the Li family from Suijin Beach, two from the Liu family, one from the Jia family, and the prince of Zhennan. The thinnest one is the only grandson of the Guo family from Taihua Academy.”

The old man, hearing him recite these names so easily, was surprised and asked: “You know all these young people”

Mr. Mo Mei coughed twice, slightly embarrassed and feeling a little guilty.

Actually, his purpose in holding this poetry reading today is something else…
