Although Li Shi is only fourteen years old this year, he is already the height of an adult. Not much shorter than Li Miao. It has been two and a half years since Li Shi joined the village guard team. A twelve-year-old boy entered the village guard through the back door. Until now, he was the sole manager of the Li Mansion.
The current Li Shi is growing rapidly, both physically and intellectually. After nearly three years of martial arts training, not only has the appearance of the body grown into a man, but the strength of the body has also reached more than 800 kilograms, which is basically the same as the two heroes of the Li family.
If people knew that Li Miao's little butler's martial arts value was at the peak of the mortal realm. Might scare a bunch of people.
Even the servants who were training together were not discovered. This is also why Li Shi is good at hiding his clumsiness. Of course, it couldn't be hidden from Li Miao's perception. When Li Miao came to Li Shi alone to feed his moves, Li Shi didn't hide anything, which made Li Miao feel relieved.
He lived up to his upbringing. If he kept it secret even from himself, Li Miao would have to consider his motives. It seems that Li Shi is mature. Li Miao feels that the current strength of the ten Lis is slightly stronger than that of the two Lis alone.
In terms of academics, Li Miao could only lament Li Shi's good luck. Li Miao himself went to great lengths, painstaking efforts, and even resorted to unscrupulous means to obtain imperial examination books. Compared with Li Shi, the books in Li Miao's study can be said to be unparalleled in the world.
Although there are many old Hanlin families in the imperial examination books who are similar to my own family. The average New Hanlin Academy member does not have three to five years to memorize all the imperial examination books in the Hanlin Academy's library. But what about other books? The imperial examination involves all aspects.
Therefore, in the past half year or so, Li Shi has been immersed in the sea of books to absorb nutrients. Li Miao looked envious. In addition, Li Shitian is very intelligent and has almost a photographic memory. It won't be long before Li Shi's imperial examination level will reach the level of Li Miao's examination level.
As long as he is given time to become a Jinshi, it will not be difficult for him. Li Miao is also happy. A double Jinshi in the Li family is not far away.
Jia Lan is four years younger than Li Shi. That little one is not a dime a dozen. Jia Lan is in Rongguo Mansion. Although he is the direct grandson, the most favored person in Rongguo Mansion is Jia Baoyu. He was born with jade in his hand. Compared with Jia Baoyu, Jia Lan was just average in Rongguo Mansion.
He grew up with his widowed mother Li Wan, who is so sensible that it makes people feel distressed. As he arrived at his junior uncle's house, he discovered a boy named Li Shi who was about the same age as Jia Baoyu. Gradually, he discovered that his nana was amazing, so Jia Lan became a loyal fan of Li Shi.
The worship of heroes in youth was the same in that era, and the heroes of this era were first of all good at reading, and Li Shi was versatile in both literature and martial arts. He is good at literature and martial arts, and he admires Jia Lan with little stars in his eyes.
After Li Miao nodded in agreement, Jia Lan also began to practice martial arts with Li Shi. Slowly, Jia Lan became a long-term guest of Li Mansion, and eventually became a resident. Now I rarely go back to Jia Mansion.
Jia Lan found that although the junior uncle's house had more rules, even the servants were genuinely happy to stay in the Li Mansion.
Can slaves be unhappy? What life was like in the past, and look at it now, although the rules are a bit strict, but there are no rules without rules. Each of the young servants also learns literature and martial arts. Sometimes they practice by themselves, sometimes Li Shi will teach them, and the servants who practice martial arts The food was really good.
These slaves work as a family unit and see that their children have a future. Can you be unhappy?
In addition, Jia Yingchun is now in charge here. Jia Lan felt like he was at his junior uncle's house. I feel more comfortable than in Jia Mansion. No one is holding it up, and no one cares. Li Shi is Jia Lan's idol, four years older than him. He is more than one head taller than himself, and he is very knowledgeable.
Li Miao was Li Shi's idol at first, and Li Shi knew the power of idols, so when the two of them were together, Li Shi, as an experienced person, knew how to handle things well.
Sometimes Li Wan would come. At first I was worried about Jialan. Later, I came to see Jia Yingchun. Later, Li Miao was always left in the study to talk.
As a result, Li Wan went to his father's house but did not come to Li Miao's house more often. Li Shouzhong and his wife understand, after all, Jia Lan is Li Wan's future.
Qiu Sheng seemed to have known Li Wan for a long time. Every time Li Wan comes, Qiu Sheng, who has been accompanying Li Miao in the study all year round, will walk away in a sensible way, which makes people feel heartbroken.
Qiu Sheng in turn comforted the young master, "Actually, I have been with the young master every day during this period."
Everyone sees Jialan's progress. In less than a month, I have grown a lot. My body is much stronger than before, and I have become much calmer.
Li Wan saw Jia Lan's growth and regretted coming too late. The rewards for Li Miao are also constant. In fact, the power of role models is infinite. Sometimes when Jia Lan goes back to Jia's house, Jia Zheng and Jia's mother all feel that Jia Lan has changed a lot.
"Let your Uncle Bao go too." Jia Lan: "Grandpa, you have to ask my junior uncle first." Jia Zheng patted his head and said, "By the way, I'd better go there when I have time."
As a result, a few days later, Li Miao finally met this foreign minister of the Ministry of Industry who lived in Rongxi Hall of Rongguo Mansion. Jia Zheng is dressed in casual clothes, and it can be seen that the materials and workmanship are extremely particular. After all, he is the head of the Duke's Mansion, and he also needs a lot of face. Jia Zheng has a dignified appearance and a strong scholarly air.
Now Li Miao is about to marry Jia Yingchun. He is also very kind to Jia Yingchun and has prepared a generous dowry for Jia Yingchun. This is no secret in Rongning Second Mansion. So now Li Miao and Jia Mansion can be regarded as in-laws. Li Miao also welcomed Jia Zheng into the government with the courtesy of a descendant.
After the two of them took their seats, Jia Zheng explained his intention. "Uncle Jia, it doesn't matter to me. One person is a teacher, and a group of people are also teachers, but not everyone can adapt to this environment." Li Miao is also outspoken.
Li Miao knew that Jia Baoyu's mind was not on studying. Even if Jia Zheng forced him to come to Li's house, he probably would not stay here for too long. So tell the ugly story ahead, don't slap your chest so hard now, when the time comes, the greater Jia Zheng's hopes, the greater his disappointment.
Jia Baoyu was brought to you by Jia Zheng on the same day. After Li Miao came to the Yamen, he even met Jia Baoyu, who was still only half a boy, about the same age as Li Shi.
In terms of appearance, except that his face is a bit bigger, that is to say, his face has a fleshy shape. People are not actually fat, but their faces are fat. Li Miao also faintly felt the existence of Tao Yun from Jia Baoyu. So Li Miao didn't talk much and quickly stayed away.
Sure enough, Jia Baoyu quit in a few days. Steward Li Shi often takes them to do some tasks, allowing them to gain knowledge along the way. Jia Lan learned it with gusto, but Jia Baoyu said, "It's too vulgar, what are all these?" and found an excuse not to come.
In fact, Li Mansion was not a place Jia Baoyu loved to come to at all. It would be nice to stay in Li Mansion for two days. Jia Zheng also got angry about this. "Hey", the old lady protected him again. Jia Zheng can't change anything. All he could do was shake his head and sigh.
