Back to the ancient restaurant

After Mrs. Li and Mrs. Li came out of the kitchen, they had a lively lunch around the table.

Mrs. Li hadn't seen her youngest son for a long time, and she dragged him to chat for a while before seeing the time.Knowing that everything was fine for him in the academy, he was relieved.

"By the way, your cousin went back a few days ago."

The "cousin" that Mrs. Li refers to is Li Ziyan, the daughter of Sanfang, who married into the town a few years ago.At that time, the three brothers of the Li family had come to see off their marriage, and because the family was poor, they were ridiculed by the cousin for a while.It is said that it was a bunch of muddleheaded people from the Li family who made her lose face in her husband's house.

Because they were worried about the old couple of the Li family, the three brothers held back their anger and didn't say anything.After returning home, Yuanshen hugged his second brother and cried for a long time, gritted his teeth and vowed that he would pass the examination of scholar, so that everyone who looked down on their family would see him.

Since then, no one in the Li family has stepped on the gate of the third room of the Li family, nor has they seen this cousin again.Now hearing Mrs. Li mentioning this person abruptly, Li Zian paused for a while before gnawing on the peaches, then nodded but did not answer.

"Your cousin said she wanted to introduce a girl to you, and asked you to go to her house to meet you when you are resting."

Hearing this, Li Zian suddenly felt that the peach in his hand was not as sweet as when he first took it.Looking up at Old Madam Li, she found that the other party was also looking at him expectantly. Looking at her expression and eyes, she obviously hoped that he could go.

However, Li Zi'an already has someone he likes, not to mention that Li Hongshen also has a crush on him, even if he didn't, it's impossible for him to harm a little girl.It's just that he understands the old man's thoughts. He just wants him to start a family and start a business sooner, and let her embrace her grandson sooner.It's just that this kind of thing really can't be forced, no matter what he won't go to see this person.

"Mother, my cousin wished she had to get to know us on weekdays, why did she suddenly come to the door and want to propose marriage to me?"

Perhaps it was Li Zian's words that reminded Mrs. Li of the past, and the expression on her face gradually changed.The second elder brother Li on the side really didn't like this little cousin, so he hurried to help when he heard what Li Zi'an said.

"Yeah, mother, when Yanzi came to tell me about it, I thought it was unreliable. She followed the third aunt and hated the poor and loved the rich the most. When my younger brother didn't pass the exam as a scholar, look at her when she returned to Li Jiacun passed by our door, and wished he could take a detour. Now that he comes to the door suddenly, he has to tell his brother that he is a great talent because he passed the exam."

Hearing this, Mrs. Li couldn't help but feel a little hesitant on her face. "Your cousin said that the woman's family is from the town, and her family background is quite good. I'm thinking that if your brother can take a fancy to that girl, he can take care of him nearby when he becomes a relative in the future."

"Mom, what's wrong with the people in the town, and there are a lot of people in the town who can't eat. Don't be soft-hearted, you will believe whatever she says. It doesn't matter if anyone of us says this, The key is to look at what the younger brother means."

Li Zi'an has never felt that his second brother is so cute and amiable, what he said made him want Li Zi'an to pounce on him and kiss him.Li Ziyang said while watching his younger brother nodding wildly.It looked like a puppy, and he couldn't help laughing when he saw it.

At this time, Li Wenshu, who got up early and was excited all morning, was so sleepy that he dozed off in Li Zian's arms.Seeing this, Second Brother Li hurriedly picked him up from his arms and handed him over to Mrs. Li.The dazed Li Wenshu was not happy, she pouted and looked at Li Zian and shed tears, but in the end she was carried into the room by Mrs. Li's wife.

"It's getting late, should my younger brother go to the academy?" Second Brother Li asked Li Zi'an, who looked distressed.

"Well, there are still two quarters of an hour before the class starts." Li Zian replied.

When Mrs. Li heard that time was running out, she hurriedly ordered her second son to go to the house and bring out a basket of peaches.

"Ziyang, you go with Zi'an. It is our kindness to send some of these peaches to the master of the academy."

Hearing this, Second Brother Li responded with a sound, picked up a basket of peaches from the house and walked out on his back.Seeing this, Li Zi'an greeted several people and went out with his second brother.

On the way to the academy, Second Brother Li looked at Li Zi'an who was full of worries, and couldn't help but sigh.

"Little brother, don't pay attention to what mother just said. Second brother knows who Yanzi is. If she comes again in the future, I will stop her."

Listening to Second Brother Li's words, Li Zi'an nodded and thanked Second Brother Li.Seeing the appearance of his younger brother, Second Brother Li smiled and said, "Second Brother can see how much hardship you have endured to be a scholar. The eldest brother and the second brother have been like this all their lives. From now on, the Li family will look up to you. If you want Remember what you said before, you can't live up to the hard work of your parents."

"Second brother, I know. In the past few years, I have thought about it carefully. In fact, studying is not the only way to make a good life for my family." After speaking, Li Zian stopped and turned to look at Li The second brother said to him with a serious expression, "Second brother, if one day I don't want to study, will you object?"

Hearing what Li Zian said, Li Ziyang was taken aback for a moment, but seeing Li Zian's serious expression, he knew that what he said was not a joke.It's just that he never thought about this question, and he didn't know how to answer it for a while.

Li Zi'an looked at the reaction of the second brother, and already had the answer in his heart.He smiled and said, "Second brother, if one day I tell my parents that I don't want to read anymore, I hope you can stand by my side."

Li Ziyang's heart softened when he heard the pleading in his younger brother's tone.Looking at the young man in front of him who was obviously a little taller than himself, he still reached out and touched his head with a smile and nodded as he did when he was a child.

The two brothers came to the entrance of the academy in silence, because there were not many people at the entrance of the academy because the class was about to start.Li Zian saw that Second Brother Li had stopped, and hurriedly helped Second Brother Li unload the basket behind his back.

"Second brother won't send it in for you. You should study hard and don't think about so many messy things. However, if you make a decision, second brother will also stand by your side." After that, Second Brother Li smiled and patted He patted Li Zian on the shoulder. "People live a lifetime, how can they live according to other people's ideas in everything, the most important thing is to live happily and freely."

Hearing this, Li Zian nodded heavily. "Second brother, no matter what, I will not let you down."

"Hey, I know. It's getting late, let's go in soon, don't make Master unhappy." After speaking, Brother Li waved to him, turned and left.

Li Zi'an stood at the door and watched Li Ziyang's back disappear into the corner before turning around.After he turned around, he realized that Li Hongshen was standing not far away from him, watching him quietly. Li Zian sighed softly, bent down and carried the bamboo basket on his shoulder.

After lunch, Li Hongshen went back to the academy to review his studies. Seeing that the official lecture was about to start and Li Zian hadn't appeared yet, he felt a little worried.Getting up and walking out of the academy, he saw Li Zian walking towards the side with a young man.Seeing the similar facial expressions of the two, Li Hongshen guessed that the other party should be Li Zi'an's elder brother.

Li Hongshen knew Li Zi'an's family background, and knew that it was rare for his family to visit him, so he didn't want to disturb the two brothers to talk about the old days.Just as he was about to turn around, he heard Brother Li's words, which immediately aroused his curiosity.

Although the time he spent with Li Zi'an was not too long, he had never seen such a lonely expression on Li Zi'an's face.In an instant, Li Hongshen knew that the topic they had just talked about was definitely not that simple, which made his originally let go heart hang high again.

"Peaches from your home? They look delicious." Li Hong said with a deep smile.

"Well, my mother and my second brother came today and brought me some. There are too many and I can't finish it, so I just brought them for you to taste."

Seeing that Li Hongshen wanted to reach out to help him, Li Zi'an turned sideways to hide.

"This peach has hairs on it. Some people feel itchy when they touch it. Let me carry it."

Li Hongshen nodded, and the two entered the school together.At this time, the master had already arrived, and seeing the two people just entering the door, he didn't say much, but just motioned them to take their seats quickly.

The silence of the afternoon made Li Hongshen very uncomfortable. After school in the afternoon, Li Hongshen wanted to ask him to clarify, but Li Zi'an pretended to be smiling and distributed the peaches from his home to his classmates, so he couldn't open his mouth.It was only after everyone had left that Li Hongshen accompanied him out of the academy gate.

"Let me treat you to dinner tonight. I used to go to your house for dinner, so let me treat you again."

Seeing that Li Hongshen's hand was already grabbing his wrist, Li Zian could only nod helplessly, as if you had to go if you didn't want to go.

Seeing that Li Zian agreed, Li Hongshen was immediately overjoyed.He hurriedly said, "There is a restaurant in the west of the city, the food and drink are not bad, I will take you to try it today."

Outside the academy, Zhao Yang had already driven by the door and waited.Seeing the two coming out together, he hurriedly jumped out of the car and said hello to them.Seeing that Li Zian was carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, Zhao Yang couldn't help asking curiously, "Why did Mr. Li bring a bamboo basket to the academy? You didn't see you take it when you sent my son here in the morning?"

After getting acquainted with Li Zian, he knew that his young master treated this person unusually, and he no longer called him by his name like before.But Li Zian didn't care about it.

"My family came to the academy today to see that I brought some food. I couldn't finish it all by myself, so I divided it among everyone. I will bring you the portion of your son's alone another day."

"Just because you are greedy, Zi'an and I will go to the west of the city for dinner today, you go back first and pick me up later." Li Hongshen instructed Zhao Yang.

Hearing this, Zhao Yang responded and got into the car, seeing that Li Zian was still carrying a bamboo basket in his hand, he jumped down again. "Mr. Li, you and our young master can't carry a basket with you when you go to eat, right? I'll bring it back for you first. When you bring me something delicious, I'll exchange it with you."

Li Zian forgot about the bamboo basket for a while, and heard what Zhao Yang said.Smiling and handing the basket to him. "Understood, I will definitely bring it to you tomorrow."

The two watched Zhao Yang drive away, and then walked side by side to the west of the city.Seeing that Li Zi'an was still more silent than usual along the way, Li Hongshen couldn't help but finally opened his mouth.

"What happened to your family? You have been preoccupied all afternoon."

Hearing this, Li Zian raised his head and looked at Li Hongshen blankly. After thinking for a while, he understood what Li Hongshen meant.

"Nothing happened, it's just that my mother came and said she wanted to marry me."
