Chapter 172 Is It a Concubine?

"I'm telling you, my mother is so beautiful!"

"You're bragging!"

Opposite the Ji family was the famous wealthy family in Jinpeng. The master's surname was Li and he had three sons. The eldest son was an official in Tongchang, the second son was studying in Yanjing, and the third son was by his side. He had many wives and concubines and a bunch of children.

The brother and sister Qi'an and Sui'an like to play with Miss Li Wu who lives next door the most.

Miss Li Wu was born out of wedlock, but she was two years older and always gave way to the younger one.

Qi'an dislikes Mr. Li San the most. He is the same age as the Fifth Girl, but is very domineering. He often pulls the Fifth Girl's hair and snatches her snacks.

"I'm not bragging!"

Qi'an looked angrily at Li Zaiwen, who was a head taller than him.

Li Zaiwen, who is five years old, is the only male grandchildren around Mr. Li. He is spoiled by everyone and has the final say.

But the Ji family brothers and sisters next door are not afraid of him, and they only like to play with the naughty girl Li Wanruo!
Li Zaiwen looked at Ji Qian, smiled wickedly, and reached out to pull his pants.

As soon as his hands touched his trouser legs, he was lifted up by the back of his collar.

Being lifted up so high suddenly, he was frightened and screamed loudly, his hands and feet flapping in the air.

"Ahh! Help! Dad! Grandfather!"

Ji Yunzhang was a general who had come from the battlefield, and he had a dignity that was intimidating even without being angry.

He raised Li Zaiwen by another two points and looked him in the face.

"Bullying?"

Li Zaiwen was so frightened that his face was covered with tears and snot.

"No, no, no..."

Qi'an raised his head and looked at the tall man in front of him, and suddenly felt that he was not scary at all.

Even the most hateful Li Zaiwen cried.

Xiao Sui'an clapped his hands happily, "Dad is awesome!"

"Bad brother poops his pants!"

Sui'an only remembers that time when the wicked Li Zaiwen pulled his brother's pants, making Qi'an cry loudly, and Sui'an was protected by Li Wanruo and returned home.

Sui'an was crying so hard that he was out of breath. His uncle Rong Lingkuan chased him to the Li family with a rattan stick.

Master Li was stunned by the lecture, and then he just watched his precious grandson being beaten on the butt by Rong Lingkuan.

After hearing what his daughter said, Ji Yunzhang thought that his daughter was being bullied and his face immediately turned dark.

Li Zaiwen asked and was so scared that he started hiccuping.

Li Zaiwen, who is fearless, is only afraid of Rong Lingkuan from the Ji family, and now there is one more person.

It happened that Rong Lingkuan came back from school, and Ji Yunzhang found out what had happened before releasing Li Zaiwen.

From then on, Li Zaiwen would avoid Ji Yunzhang whenever he saw him.

Rong Lingkuan picked up little Sui'an. The little girl was very smart now and stretched out her hands to ask her father to hold her.

The soft and tender little girl stretched out her little hands and said, "Daddy, give me a hug."

Ji Yunzhang hugged his daughter, but saw Rong Lingkuan frowning.

The young man couldn't hide his thoughts, and everything he was thinking was written on his face.

"what happened?"

The two of them were walking towards home, each holding a little baby.

Rong Lingkuan handed the small bowls of cake he brought back to the two children, while hesitating about how to start the conversation.

My brother-in-law just resigned from his official position, and today the teacher asked him if he wanted to give it a try.

Although he had no interest in being an official, all scholars wanted to give it a try.

Seeing his conflicted look, Ji Yunzhang was not in a hurry.

Walked all the way to the door of the house.

Rong Lingkuan then said, "I want to try for the Autumn Examination this year."

Rong Peilan, who was about to go out to the granary, happened to hear his words.

She frowned and was about to say something.

Ji Yunzhang said, "Go when you are ready." Rong Lingkuan stopped and asked, "Do you agree to let me go?"

"Why don't you agree?" Ji Yunzhang looked at him calmly.

"Resigning from office was my choice, and taking the imperial examination in autumn was your choice. You are almost fifteen years old. Remember that you still have a home here."

Before Rong Lingkuan's joy could show on his face, he turned around and saw his sister's dark face.

"elder sister……"

His steps slowed down.

Ji Yunzhang sighed inaudibly and handed Sui'an to Chen Chun who was beside Rong Peilan.

"Send it to the old lady."

He patted Rong Lingkuan on the shoulder and asked him to go back first.

After everyone had left, he walked up to her and took her hand.

"Kuandi has grown up, and he should choose his own path."

Rong Peilan turned her head away and said, "I don't agree."

She just wants to live in peace now.

She didn't want her, or anyone close to her, to ever set foot in that place again.

Ji Yunzhang held her arm, and the carriage outside was ready.

Ever since the grain shop in Yanjing closed down, the Ji family started to become grain merchants.

Now the granary has been moved to Jinpeng. Now the Ji family is the largest grain merchant in the seven cities around Jinpeng.

Even many of Jinpeng’s farmlands are cooperative farmers of the Ji family.

If the world really were to fall into chaos, Jinpeng would probably be the only place in the world where people would have enough food and clothing.

Rong Peilan just raised one foot to get on the carriage.

A sharp voice came from the opposite door.

"Who bullied my son?!"

The two looked over and saw a woman from the opposite door with one hand on her waist and the other hand holding the crying Li Zaiwen.

As soon as Li Zaiwen met Ji Yunzhang's eyes, he was so scared that he immediately hid behind the woman.

She just stretched out a chubby little hand and pointed at him, "Mom, it's him!"

When Zhao looked over, she saw a man with an imposing appearance, clear eyebrows, distinct facial lines, a strong and handsome appearance, and a sharp look in his eyes.

When she thought of the good-for-nothing at home and then saw this man, her heart skipped a beat.

I couldn't help but lower my voice and act pretentiously.

"It must be a misunderstanding. How could a man like you bully a child?"

Li Zaiwen stopped crying, poked her head out from behind her mother and shook her sleeves.

"Mom, you said you would make the decision for me. Last time, Ji Qian'an's uncle spanked me, and this time it's his family members who are bullying me..."

Before he could finish his words, Zhao pushed him back.

Ji Yunzhang looked at the mother and son opposite him with cold eyes, "If you bully Ji Qian'an again, I will hang you upside down on a tree and make bird food."

Just then, a group of birds flew over from a big tree at the entrance of the alley, chirping.

Li Zaiwen was so scared that he ran back with a scream. His mother was unreliable, so he wanted to go find his grandfather.

Zhao's face froze. She didn't expect that such a grown man would really bother with a child...

Ji Yunzhang helped Rong Peilan onto the carriage, and without even looking at the woman opposite, he jumped onto the carriage.

Zhao looked at the carriage going away and couldn't help but click her tongue twice.

The Li family is already wealthy enough. The family across the street moved in three years ago, and there are only old people and young people in their house.

They don’t look very prominent at ordinary times, but after a long time you will know that this family’s food, clothing and other daily necessities are all of the best.

She offered several boxes of gold but still failed to hire Mr. Zhang. However, the uncle of those two brats became Mr. Zhang's disciple in the second month after he arrived here.

Now the man next door has come back, and she now understands that this man is a high-ranking official outside.

But why would a high-ranking official live in Jinpeng?
Thinking of this, her eyes rolled around, and they gleamed as if she had smelled some secret.

Could it be that the concubine's family was raised in Jinpeng, which is the nearest prefecture to the capital?
 Please give me a monthly ticket, please give me a ticket, thank you, little fairy (*^▽^*)
