Chapter 9 (Reissue)

"Have you been weaned yet?" Li Jia asked with a smile, holding the little guy.

"Not yet, it's only fifteen months now, it's at least three years old!" Hou Huiniang said softly in her eyes when she faced the inquiry of her legitimate son.

"It should be broken at this time. It's too late to do bad for my second brother." Li Jia shook her head and said to her father while teasing her younger brother:

"Weaning too late is not good for my second brother. In a few days, I will find a few ewes to let me taste the taste of goat milk. The Khitans in the north have been constantly getting milk from young, and they are very strong."

"Well, what you said is right. The south is too wet and hot, which is not good for children. Too many die. The Khitan barbarians are indeed far stronger than those of the Central Plains!"

When Li Wei heard the eldest son's proposal, he hesitated for a moment, but when he thought of the death rate of children in the south, his heart trembled. He only got a son when he was old. He was so precious that he would never let Yan Luo take it away.

With the habit of making decisions for many years, he made up his mind.

"I hope that the child can be as strong as the Khitans and grow up."

Without mentioning Li Wei's agreement, Hou Huiniang, who was standing beside her, was stunned for a moment, with water droplets swaying in her eyes. Looking at the legitimate son, thinking about his deeds over the years, she felt aggrieved in her heart, and she only turned into a sigh.

I hope what my brother said is good!

"What the husband said is so rude. A good man doesn't eat human breasts, but he just wants his second brother to eat some sheep milk. What does this mean?"

Seeing that the little lady and her father had no objection, Li Jia was about to say something else, but at this time, a young wet nurse mustered up the courage and retorted with a red face.

Li Jia looked up and was instantly amazed. The little girl was very young, with a tender face, delicate facial features, white and tender, looking only fifteen or sixteen years old, and even a little baby fat.

Wearing a moon-green waist-length skirt and a light white shawl, his hair is folded up and his height will reach the position of his chin.

"This? Wet Girl?" Li Jia asked tentatively, looking at the long hair that was folded up, sighing in her heart.

"Brother, this is my distant sister from my family. She grew up with me since she was a child. If the family suffered, I would keep her."

Hou Huiniang thought the legitimate son was going to get angry, so she quickly pulled the stubborn sister down and then hurriedly explained.

"Brother has always known a lot and has always loved her second brother. How could there be any mistakes? Why don't you apologize to me?" Turning around, Hou Huiniang had gratitude in her eyes, shook her head slightly at her, and scolded her softly.

"It's nothing, this wet nurse is just too concerned!" Li Jia waved her hand and said indifferently, not knowing if she could understand.

However, looking at the little blush on the little lady's face, I thought I had already known it.

"It's my fault. I hope you can forgive me." The little girl's eyes were dissatisfied and gave a soft salute, and Li Jia's eyes lit up instantly.

"Nothing happens, the little lady has never made any mistakes, so why should she be so polite!"

Li Jia said with a serious look on her face, handing her second brother to her wet nurse, and said righteously:

"Eating goat milk is rare in the south. It is also worth it for the little lady to worry about her second brother. Not only is she innocent, but she should also be rewarded!"

As he got closer, Li Jia felt more and more emotional: God treated her so kindly.

Unlike others who see him, Li Jia has traveled through time, but no one else has the same vision. The number one magical shot in Yongzhou is not a false reputation.

The atmosphere began to get harmonious again afterwards. The father and son talked about interesting things and teased the second brother. Time passed quickly.

When the sun was approaching dusk, the family had dinner in Hou Huiniang's house. When Li Jia returned to her room, the sun was only left with afterglow.

The elderly maids around me have already been sent out of the house to get married because they are old, but they don’t care about it in this troubled time, so there is nothing wrong with getting married.

He has a positive appearance and a graceful figure. He has been in a high school and has seen the world. Although he is already eighteen, he has been seeking endlessly.

In response to their needs, they either marry a servant or marry outside, Li Jia also gave a dowry worth hundreds of yuan, which was decent.

The newcomer is only fifteen or sixteen years old. Although he is pretty and lovely, he is really young. Although he looks good, he still knows it.

"Have Xizhu not come back yet?" Looking at Yishui's delicate girl, Li Langjun frowned.

"Sister Xizhu asked someone to bring a letter to say that there is something wrong at home and it will take some time to delay!" The little maid replied with a fat, round and crisp look on her face.

Xizhu is Li Jia's maid, two years older than him. She has been dealing with his small courtyard affairs and sometimes helping the housekeeper. She is smart and reliable. After a few days, Li Jia even misses her a little.

"This little lady is quite pretty today!" After touching her chin, Li Jia took a photo in the bronze mirror. Looking at her handsome appearance, she thought happily.

But, no matter how you look at it, it must be an illusion.

"Come here, ask An Guo to come-" shouted casually.

"Yes-" A crisp response outside the door was heard, and within ten minutes, a clever young man entered the room.

"I have greeted you. I haven't seen you for a few days. Your husband has become more handsome. I don't know which young lady has this blessing!"

Xiao Si, named Anguo, is Li Langjun's companion student and the grandson of the old housekeeper. He is only twenty years old this year, with a round face and big ears, and a little pockmarked on his face. He looks very honest, but he is secretly clever and tight.

As the old housekeeper grew older, he began to learn how to work as a housekeeper. After all, his father is nearly forty years old and it is time to take on his position.

The southern husband died prematurely, but it is not a lie. Although the country is generally stable, except for various diseases and disorders, the biggest thing is that the humidity is too heavy. At the age of fifty, it is already considered a long life.

"Get up and talk!" Li Jia sat on the bench, looked at An Guo with a simple face, shook her head with a smile, waved her hand to ask several maids to retreat, and then said softly:

"Recently, is there a little lady coming to Hou Xiaoniang's house?"

"Mr. Lang said it very accurately. He knew it clearly as soon as he came back. He was even more powerful than Master Hu in the mansion-" As he said that, An Guo still had an admiration expression.

"Bah, your mouth is like you have a candy, just talk well!" Li Jia cursed with a smile.

"Hehe!" An Guo smiled apologetically, then he said seriously, with a little regret in his tone:

"Miss Hou came to our mansion yesterday. I heard that the man from his family went to the first exam for the Secretariat of Panyu. But he fell ill on the way and never got up again. He had no choice but to marry a concubine. The family had empty land and had a child who was close to his wife, so he came to surrender."

The imperial examinations of the Tang Dynasty were not as numerous as those in the Ming and Qing dynasties. One was recommended by local officials, and went to the Shangshu Province to take the examinations and became a township tribute; the other was conducted for the preliminary examinations for local officials and screened students. Both will be verified in the Shangshu Province, and only those who pass the examinations can participate in the imperial examinations.

From this we can see that Mrs. Hou’s husband is a knowledgeable person! During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, in addition to the Southern Tang Dynasty, the one who valued the most was the Southern Han Dynasty, and the imperial examination was also promising.

However, how could he not know that when Liu Yu succeeds to the throne, all senior officials will be cast and the eunuchs will be everywhere!

I sighed, is Mrs. Hou still a widow? Interesting, interesting...

He felt happy and looked at An Guo's searching gaze, but Li Jia said seriously:

"I just went to my mother's place. Seeing that this girl has a rough family, she is sincere to her second brother. If you send a few pieces of silk to her, she will say it is my brother's wish!"

"Yes, I understand!" An Guo's eyes rolled, and he quickly agreed, with a smile on his lips, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
