"Li Laoer spoke from the heart, and there was a hint of guilt in his words." 。Mr. Wen actually laughed, "We are comrades who were born and died together. Jiaren is my disciple too. As they say, 'A tea...“You!” Wang Zechen’s face was ashen with rage.

It wasn't just because of Li Laoer's threat, but also because he knew deep down that Li Laoer was right. The Wang family's towering building had a rotten foundation.

He had long been away, thinking his home was his strong support, but this time when he returned, he realized his father's senility, his younger brother's arrogance and extravagance in the family's daily life...

If there were no relocation of the capital, the royal family would just be hiding away in one corner and nothing much would happen.

But now everything is under the Emperor's watchful eye, any small mistake could lead to the Wang family's destruction.

On the contrary, my family members don't understand at all. They only want to put the Li family down.

You need to know, the Li family has already staked their claim before the emperor. They are no longer someone who can be bullied at will!

Moreover, the Li family has Xinting Hou as their backer, with imperial censor and Liu family's support, they have made great contributions by providing grain, and hold two titles and one imperial decree. This has already established a powerful position, how could it be so easy to deal with!

If he were easy to deal with, why would he humble himself so much today and come here to listen to a peasant lecture him!

Li Laoer was no longer willing to waste time with Wang Zecheng. He stood up and said, "Our paths diverge, we are not in league with each other. Our two families have been at odds for a long time, each winning and losing. My Li family has always had one principle: we don't start trouble, but we are not afraid of it either.

"

"Your Wang family still wants to continue being enemies with our Li family Then bring your horses over, and we'll meet them head-on. Wang sir, take care of yourself!"

He said this and then went out, walking straight down the stairs.

As soon as the results were announced, Wen Hai was seen standing by the carriage waving his hand. Li Lao Er hurried over.

Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng were sitting in a carriage, Liu Zhiheng was just about to drink the tea when Li Laoer got on board and snatched it away, drinking it all in one gulp.

"Liu Ziheng laughed, "You said you were going to drink tea, why are you still so thirsty"

"Forget it," said Li Lao'er, waving his hand. "Facing a poisonous snake, I wouldn't have the heart to drink tea! Using the excuse of tea being too expensive, I gave him a good scolding. The teahouse owner and waiters all heard it, so if anyone tries to say business with me while drinking tea with him in the future, I won't be so passive."

"He's not really asking you for tea, is he" Mr. Wen poured tea for Lao Er Li and asked.

"Of course not," Li Lao Er rolled his eyes, "He thinks I'm a fool and is trying to find fault with our family. He's figuring out whether to attack immediately or wait a while longer."

Liu Zhiheng snorted, "This Wang Zechen is known for his hidden depths. Even if he makes peace with your family, you can't be careless. Who knows when he might bite!"

Li Lao'er recalled Wang Zechen's expression just now and burst into laughter: "He usually deals with old foxes, who are all about superficial politeness and harmony. Today he met me and I ripped off his mask! He was dumbfounded!"

Having said that, he recounted the story about bamboo and the high-rise building.

Indeed, Mr. Wen and Liu Zhiheng both laughed uncontrollably.

Liu Zhiheng patted Li Laoer's shoulder and shouted, "You're bullying the Wang family. They already had few brothers, and now you've driven one of them crazy! Haha, one foot from me, one foot from you, foot after foot, we'll send the Wang family to their high-rise building to collapse!"

Li Laoer spread his hands, looking innocent. "Who made him say something about centuries of accumulation Our Li family hasn't been short of accumulation for a hundred years either! It's just that their family has wealth and power, while ours has a large population!"

"Alright, enough talk. Let's go to Xiankele. I'm starving," Mr. Wen urged his son Hai to hurry up with the carriage.

Liu Zhiheng also chimed in: "Right, let's go. We have to have a drink tonight to celebrate this. Thinking about Wang Lao Da getting his comeuppance makes me happy. When I was little, my father used him as an example to scold me all the time!"

The carriage drove away quickly, and Wang Zecheng in the teahouse box no longer saw its trace. He retracted his gaze.

His confidant stepped forward and asked, "Master, the Li family is being too arrogant. Should we teach them a lesson"

Wang Zechen shook his head. "Let's see, he's not wrong, our Wang family has indeed encountered problems at the foundation... I'll think of a way to fix the foundation, and then we'll see who will end up crippled, the Li family or my Wang family!"

Chang Sui dared not say another word, and silently retreated.

Li Lao'er guessed that Wang Zechen had been slapped in the face and was probably furious.

Over the course of two consecutive grand gatherings, Wang Zechen showed no further signs of change. In fact, he was even seen warmly greeting others.

Li Laer's heart grew increasingly wary, but his face was even warmer than Wang Zecheng's, with a smile that was brighter and more dazzling.

Isn't this just acting, anyone can do it!

You perform, I respond, taking turns in singing, reciting, and performing martial arts, with eighteen troupes of Wu Yi all showcasing their skills!

As a result, the two of them didn't think there was anything wrong. Both were enthusiastic, but they left all the civil and military officials dumbfounded.

In this day and age, can even enemies become friends

Has the world changed, or are they just out of touch!

Mr. Wen, on the other hand, was delighted.

He certainly didn't spare Li Laoer when talking about these schemes and intrigues, the clash of swords and shadows. But deep down, Li Laoer was just a kindhearted farmer who never quite caught on.

While defensively he can hold his own, when it comes to offense, he has no idea how to attack.

Now that Wang Zechen, this whetstone, has come to him willingly, Li Lao Er is forced to accept the challenge. He must strive to polish himself until he's as slick as greased lightning, always ready to draw his blade and strike with deadly force...

This is a great surprise!

Mr. Wen, however, hoped that Wang Zechen would take some time to figure things out and continue serving as a sparring partner for Li Lao Er for a while longer. Then, Li Lao Er would grow into a qualified official!

Without saying that Li Lao'er grew rapidly, let's just say that in the blink of an eye, it was already March.

Xindu is much warmer than Sebei and the old Kyoto. There's no heavy snowfall in winter, and spring arrives particularly early here.

The irrigation projects of Da Huai Tree, Da Wang Zhuang, and Xiao Wang Zhuang have been completed.

Each of the three villages built a public bath at both the head and tail of the village.

Men use the one at the village head, inside which are several pools, like kangs heated by fire, filled with hot springs.

Everyone jumped in like dumplings, soaking for a while, chatting idly, splashing water at each other, wishing they could make enough noise to lift the roof off.

The bathing pool on the women's side was designed with more care for privacy and reputation. Inside, there were small pools that were three feet wide and four feet long, each with a partition for cover.

Basic guarantee one house per family, when taking a bath, just close the door, and no one can see inside.

It's highly unlikely that someone would create trouble by, for example, spreading rumors about a girl's birthmarks, slandering her reputation, and forcing her into marriage.

No females allowed near the men's bath.

Near the women's bathhouse, a man was beaten to death just for showing his face.

In a nutshell, whether it's the men's boisterous excitement or the women's cautious approach, every village has achieved bathing freedom.

Then think about the coming spring planting, think about the watermelon seedlings being planted in the ground, everyone is full of hope for the future life, as if life suddenly had a taste.

In the new village, Li's family backyard was also finished.

The main house did not adopt the large open space of the front yard, but instead chose a small suite with a bright front and a dark back...hey caused a lot of trouble when they were young!""I won't mention anything else, but when I first arrived at Suijin Beach, I almost baked Funiu on the stone slab"Still going to pull the goose's feath...
