Chapter 819 Really Good Luck?

bought a tambourine for his daughter at the dock yesterday. Right now, he's teasing her and smiling with pearly white teeth, not even a trace of the fierce and ruthless demeanor he had in the forest...Cat brother immediately took Zheng Liu and Zheng Qi to block their way, sneering with contempt.

"Oh my, where are you guys going"

Wasn't it arrogant just now, weren't you scolding that our Li family has bad morals

"How come you lost and want to shirk responsibility, huh"

"Move aside! We didn't say we wouldn't give you a tip, it's just... just let us go home and discuss it!" Liu Kui's cold sweat was running down his forehead.

He wasn't going home to discuss it, he needed to find somewhere safe and hide quickly.

If his father knew that the embroidery workshop was lost, he would definitely beat him to death!

Catgo wouldn't be intimidated by him. With a wave of his hand, Zheng Liu and Zheng Qi stepped forward, each grabbing one and bringing them to the front of the pavilion.

"Master, these two men tried to skip out on their bill and run away! I caught them!"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look with disdain and anger.

"If you can't handle losing, don't participate in the competition! You were so arrogant just now, how come you want to run away now!"

"It's a disgrace to scholars!"

"They were expelled from Luo'an Academy. They have no shame showing their faces here!"

"From now on, wherever they are, I absolutely won't go. I won't get involved with their bad luck!"

Wang Sheng and Liu Kui were scolded until their faces were red and white, wishing they could find a crack in the ground to hide in.

Mr. Mo Mei and several other gentlemen also let out cold snorts, expressing their deep contempt.

Mr. Mo Mei also said, "A gentleman keeps his word! Your two shops must be given to the Li family!"

"If you change your mind, old man won't mind coming to collect the debt personally!"

The other gentlemen also chimed in.

And me, I don't mind going to their house and seeing for myself how they raise their children. To actually bring up two such shameless little brats!

"Three days, if you can't hand over the shop to the Li family as promised, don't blame us for being rude!"

Jia Ren brought Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er to pay respects to the gentlemen, saying, “We ask the gentlemen to be the arbiters for us.”

Mr. Mo Mei waved his hand, "No need to be polite. You won the top prize at the old man's poetry meeting, and you won it fairly! That is what you deserve!"

"If these two families dare to shirk their responsibilities, this old man will certainly make them pay the price!"

After saying that, he called for the tea boys and ordered, "Throw these two disgraceful things out! From now on, don't allow them to set foot in here again!"

Immediately, a servant responded and almost dragged Wang Sheng and Liu Kui out.

Everyone couldn't help but cheer.

"Mr. Mo Mei is mighty!"

Mr. Mo Mei was coaxed into a smile and waved his hand, saying, "Those who want to copy the poems, hurry up and get started."

"After you finish copying, go enjoy the flowers and have some fun. This garden only blooms once a year, so don't miss this great opportunity."

Everyone rushed back to grab paper and pens. The first thing that needed to be copied was, of course, Guli's "The Gentlemanly Chapter"!

The Li brothers and others don't need to be recorded because the lyricist is their family!

Although Zhimin and Xiujie knew that Guli had once been Mr. Jiang's attendant, they didn't know he was so capable.

At this point, the two of them began to pepper Guli with questions.

Xu Jie asked, "Gu Li, Gu Li, you're amazing! You came up with such a great word! Do you usually study with Mr. Jiang"

“That’s right, if we had known Mr. Chiang was this amazing, we wouldn't have gone to the academy!” Zhimin exclaimed excitedly. “It would have been much better to follow Mr. Chiang to Suijin Beach and study with him. We could have bathed in hot springs every day and enjoyed fruits!”

Lu Cong and Jia Xu, Guo Wenhao were also curious. Although they didn't ask, they kept staring at Gu Li.

Gully bowed slightly, lowering his head, as if the golden sheen had faded from him, and he was once again the silent, diligent steward.

He looked around to make sure there were no outsiders, then chuckled bashfully: "Once, while chatting with Mr. Jiang about virtue, we talked for a long time. I didn't expect it to be tested today. I had a solid foundation in my heart, so of course I wasn't embarrassed. To put it simply, I was just incredibly lucky."

"Oh, so he was prepared beforehand! No wonder he wrote so quickly!" Xiu Jie said excitedly in a hushed tone, his eyes lighting up with realization. "From now on, let's write more of these when we have nothing to do. Then we won't have to worry about the exams at the academy!"

Jiā Rén looked at Gǔ Lì, with words in his heart, but he didn't say them.

If it were truly as Guli said, then it would be a remarkable coincidence, pure luck that allowed us to effortlessly seize victory.

But if the gentleman took a different set of questions, Gu Li, having not prepared in advance, would still win.

Just trust your gut, Jia Ren knows what he's doing!

This Gu Li, I didn't pay much attention to her before, but now the more I look at her, the more she seems like a mystery...

Will it still be possible for him to stay in the village and by his sister's side as manager

Guli Xu seemed to notice the gazes fixed on him, he looked up and met Jia Ren's eyes, then humbly bowed his head.

The Plum Garden Poetry Gathering was in full swing for most of the day before it finally came to an end.

Needless to say, before sunset, today's six matches, full of twists and turns, will spread throughout Xindu.

But this has nothing to do with the same people as Ren!

Because Chih-min, Hsiu-chieh, and Mao-ge all clamoring for a celebration, Jia-ren had someone sent a message home, then led everyone in a grand procession to the Xianke Lai restaurant.

The young master came with his friends for a meal, and the shopkeeper and staff of Xianke Lai naturally went out of their way to be attentive.

Almost as soon as Jia Ren and the others stepped through the door, the shopkeeper hurried to greet them upstairs, opening the finest private room.

Jia Ren waved his hand and smiled, "Today we are all brothers, not outsiders. Let's go to the backyard instead, no need to go upstairs."

"Oh, alright, alright."

The shopkeeper hurried to lead the way, flinging open the curtain separating the front hall and the back yard.

Jia Xu and Lu Cong, upon hearing the words "own brothers," were naturally delighted.

Lu Zong smiled and said, "I often come to eat here, but this is my first time in the backyard."

Jia Xu also said: “The most important thing for a food stall is its reputation. The kitchen in the backyard is not something anyone can easily enter.”

Kuang Wenhao walked calmly to Jianren's side, smiling softly. As for Zhimin and Xiujie, they had already followed Maoge into the inner room.

This room is Huan's place to rest when he isn't at the old house or Luo An. He sometimes spends a night here.

When encountering Jia Yin and her grandmother going shopping in the city, or Tao Hongying coming to try new dishes, they would also sit here for a while.

So, it's tidied up here very nicely. Along the wall there are bookshelves with some account books and small ornaments on them.

In the corner, there was a folding screen. Behind the screen lay a bed, with a large white goose plush toy at the foot. You could faintly see an orange, wide mouth propped up against the edge of the bed.

Under the window, a table was placed with a pot of hydrangea. The flowers were white with green hues, looking exceptionally fresh and elegant.

Jia Ren greeted everyone to sit down. A young boy brought in a teapot, and Li Ge'er helped pour tea for everyone.

And Little Meow had already familiarly gone behind the screen, bringing out a woven wicker box.

When it was opened, there were dozens of snacks inside, even half of them were new varieties that weren't sold in the White Cloud realm.

The cat took some of each and put them in two porcelain plates.

Lu Zong took a bite of the spicy beef jerky and couldn't help but praise, "It's spicy and fragrant, this jerky really tastes good. Why doesn't Bai Yun sell such delicious snacks"

Maoge'er smiled and shook his head, "Haha, Brother Lu will be disappointed. This was made by my little sister, and it can only be eaten in our house."mp anymore.” 。"What The Lord has left, when did he leave"Flower Like Moon was anxious, but the soldier wouldn't say more. To reveal their commander's whereabouts on his own accord would mean a beatin...
