would be a shame not to finish it all. Next time we pass by, we'll definitely come back to try your rice noodle soup again."The young man's face flushed a bit awkwardly after his offer was declined, a...Lu Zong was disappointed, and when Mao Ge saw this, his expression became even more smug.

"I often come here for a stroll. My sister is worried that I'll get hungry, so she specially prepared this basket of snacks for me to have here."

After saying this, he called out to everyone again, "If you like it, eat more! When the basket is empty, my sister will have someone refill it!"

Jia Ren tapped his younger brother's forehead and laughed, "Don't listen to him rambling. He's just too greedy! Wherever he goes, he acts like a girl, always wanting snacks."

My younger sister also spoils him. Even though she's so busy, she still takes the time to come up with new tricks for him.

"This kid doesn't act like a brother at all!"

The cat, though blushing, refused to back down. He cried out, "Big Brother, you're jealous! Jealous that your little sister treats me better!"

Jia Ren simply couldn't hold it in any longer, rolling his eyes and replying coolly, "What do I have to be jealous of you for"

"All those pencil cases, fan cases and purses, and handkerchiefs, were all embroidered by my little sister herself!"

"Ah, Big Brother, you sly one! When did you secretly save up so many little sisters' needles and thread!" Mao Ge’er jumped around, then looked at Li Ge’er, hoping to find a fellow comrade-in-arms.

As a result, Li Ge'er smiled and lifted his long robe, revealing the boots on his feet.

The boots were rather ordinary in style, but two little foxes embroidered in gold thread on the black satin caught the eye. The lively way they were depicted made them look like three...

"Sixth Brother!" Mao'er bristled even more, pouncing forward to pull at Li Ge'er's boots, "Woooo, you all bully me! You all have sisters who make needlework, but I don't!"

Of course, Li Ge dodged. For a while, the two brothers chased and fought, making quite a racket.

In the end, it was still Jia Ren who single-handedly subdued both his younger brothers.

Jia Ren couldn't help but laugh and cry, chiding them: "You guys aren't ashamed of yourselves. In another two or three years, you should all be getting married, how can you still act like children!"

"Brother Cat is still unconvinced, 'Sister has gotten much better at women's crafts these past two years, but she's lazy, hasn't made that much, and yet you all divided it up!'"

Jiarren picked up a piece of sweet potato candy and stuffed it into his younger brother's mouth, saying a fair word.

Then I'll go back and tell my sister to embroider a pair of boots for you too, but from now on, you don't need me to cook snacks for you!

"No!" Mao-ger instinctively refused, his head shaking like a rattle, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

This is a true foodie, can't change it no matter what.

After all that commotion, Jiahuan also brought in some helpers to serve the dishes.

He smiled awkwardly and said to the crowd, "I've made some of my specialties, and two new dishes I've recently come up with. You guys try them."

If it isn't enough, just have someone shout in the kitchen.

The little cat pounced over and hugged Jia Huan's arm, excitedly showing off to his brother.

"Second Brother, we were just slaughtering everyone out there, haha! It feels so good to win like this! We won two shops from our little sister!"

"Oh What's going on" Jiāhuān was also happy, but even more curious.

Cat Elder pulled him down and blabbered on about it.

Jia Ren greeted everyone to take their seats, but Gu Li wanted to stand down. Jia Ren pulled him and made him sit down as well.

The Li family never mistreated their servants. As long as the servants did their duty, they were often treated like family.

Zhimin and Xiujie had seen enough of it to get used to it, and didn't think Guli joining the meeting was anything out of the ordinary.

Moreover, this is a celebration dinner! Just now, Gu Li's final move in the last round was simply amazing!

A celebration banquet, how could it be without the heroes!

Lu Cong and Jia Xu were both easygoing in nature, yet they also possessed a deep cunning. Even when they were displeased, they would not reveal it when dining with their servants.

Guo Wenhao had no objection!

He had no siblings, not even parents or grandparents. His home was cold and empty everywhere.

Being in this warm room, with delicious food before him and laughter ringing in his ears, he felt so happy that it was almost surreal.

Who would still care about worldly rules!

Rules are important, but he doesn't need them. He just wants to savor the warmth and excitement of the moment!

Everyone was chatting and laughing as they ate. Jia Huan heard that his brothers had not only avenged their wrongs but also gained fame at the poetry gathering. He was overjoyed.

He specially toasted Guli a glass of wine and ordered the kitchen to make two more good dishes to be served.

Gurli was a few drinks in, her face flushed a bit, and she wasn't so reserved anymore.

He would also chime in with a few jokes when others were laughing.

Meow Ge was completely drunk, holding a wine pot and pouring drinks for everyone while sticking his tongue out and saying, "Today is truly wonderful, haha! Finally, I avenged my younger sister!"

Tomorrow I will gather the old soldiers at home and go to Liu's and Wang's families to demand bedding.

"Hmph, if they dare not give it to me, I'll smash their house to pieces!"

"Who let them spread rumors, saying my sister is lucky! "

"What a load of crap, only idiots would believe that kind of fortune-telling nonsense. My sister should know better..."

Jiarren's face turned pale as he heard this. With lightning speed, he covered his younger brother's mouth and then said to the crowd, "This boy has had too much to drink and is starting to talk nonsense."

After saying that, he called Zheng Li and Zheng Qi to help carry Mao Ge. They took him to the bed behind the screen and lay him down to sober up from his alcohol.

Zhi Min, Xiu Jie, and Guo Wen Hao were young and didn't notice anything unusual.

But Lu Zong and Jia Xu looked at each other, their doubts growing heavier.

The Li family adored Kang Le County Princess. All her brothers, including Jia Ren, treated their little sister like the apple of their eye—it was well known to everyone.

Formerly, there were rumors in the city that the county princess was blessed with great fortune. When the county princess feigned illness, the rumors subsided.

They whispered that the Li family was quick-witted and responded very promptly.

Since the county princess rarely went out, they thought everything was over.

But listening to what Mao Ge said just now, it seems like he doesn't think the same way they do...

At that very moment, Li Zhensheng and Li Laer both heard about the poetry gathering and rushed over.

Everyone quickly got up and invited them to sit down.

Jiāhuān was also busy changing the wine and dishes, but he was stopped by Lǐ Zhēnshēng.

Li Zhensheng said, “Don’t worry about us, we’re just here to congratulate you after hearing that you made a name for yourself at the poetry competition today.”

In a while, we're going back to Suijin Beach. It's not easy for you all to get together like this. If you don't have fun, you can stay at Earl's Mansion tonight.

Zhimin and Xiujie immediately cheered, they were at the perfect age for mischief, as long as they didn't have to go home, they'd be happy living anywhere.

Li Ge'er poured wine for his father and second uncle, and inevitably recounted the experience of the poetry meeting again.

Seeing the young boys so excited, both Li Zhensheng and Li Laoer felt a pang of envy in their hearts.

Such ostentatious youth, they can never go back!

After sitting for about half an hour, Li Zhensheng and Li Laer went out of the city.

Jia Ren saw that everyone was half-drunk, so he bade farewell to the gathering and took the group to the Earl's mansion.

Zhimin, Xiujie and Guo Wenhao fell asleep after a sip of sobering soup without even finishing their wash.

Li Ge'er was also drunk and his eyes were blurry, Gu Li walked swaying...

Jia Ren had the maidservant attend to them as they took a nap, while he stayed behind to drink tea with Lu Zong and Jia Xu.

Lu Zonghe and Jia Xu took advantage of the opportunity to ask a few more questions.

Lu Zong said: "Jia Ren, we have been good friends for many years. The County Princess is also our most familiar and beloved sister. If she needs any help, you must not be polite."

Jia Xu also said: "That's right, when it comes to your family affairs, I probably know even less than Baozhu younger sister. What kind of friends are we!"

Here are three more chapters ~~~act rashly. ""Only when he persisted until next year, when he truly saw victory within reach, would that be the time—his time, the time of the foolish scholar from the Imperial Study, even the time of...
