The shop assistant brought Li Qing to the Invitation Pavilion. A person was wearing a pink and white silk slanted robe with a jade belt at his waist and a golden crown on his head. There was a smile on his red lips and white teeth. He held an exquisite folding fan in his hand and welcomed Li Qing with a smile. He cupped his hands at Li Qing and said, “The Third Honors Scholar is really a handsome young master. ”

Seeing his words and actions, Li Qing kept feeling that he was a little feminine. Seeing that his Adam’s apple was moving when he spoke, he believed that he was a man.

Li Qing went forward and cupped his hands with a smile. “Are you Young Master Wang Kui?”

Wang Kui nodded with a smile. “That’s right! Please accept my invitation.”

Li Qing nodded and walked into the pavilion. He saw two young men in gorgeous clothes sitting inside. Behind the two of them stood two delicate-looking youths. Li Qing looked at them and felt that they looked like the silkpants he had seen when he was playing with his classmates in

Tongzhou.

“What a handsome Third Honors Scholar. ” The two of them leaned back in their chairs and looked at Li Qing arrogantly with disdain.

Li Qing frowned and turned to look at Wang Kui. “What can I do for you, Young Master Wang?”

Wang Kui looked at Li Qing with a smile. “How would I dare to guide you? Ever since we saw you on the parade that day, we wanted to see your glory again. Who knew that you haven’t appeared since you dazzled Ma Yu Street? We just sent a post to invite you out to take a look.”

The two men sitting looked at Li Qing proudly.

Li Qing glanced at them and understood that these people had called him over because they wanted to be intimate with him.

Li Qing turned around angrily and left.

Wang Kui crossed his legs and blocked the door. He placed his hand on the door frame and said frivolously, “Third Honors Scholar, sit down and talk before leaving.”

The two men sitting also got up and walked towards Li Qing. They said with a cheeky smile, “Aiyo! Third Honors Scholar, don’t leave in a hurry!”

Li Qing went up and grabbed Wang Kui’s wrist, pushing him out. Wang Kui fell to the ground.

Wang Kui got up and pointed at Li Qing. He rubbed his butt and shouted, “I gave you respect, but you didn’t want it. How dare you push me? Do you know who my father is?”

Li Qing looked at him disdainfully and sneered. “You’re still weaned. Look at you. I’m blushing on your father’s behalf.” With that, he turned around and left.

Wang Kui shouted at Li Qing in exasperation, “You dog, you’re just a small

Third Honors Scholar. Do you really think I can’t touch you? Just you wait!”

The other two chased after him and watched as Li Qing strode to the moon cave door. They glanced at Wang Kui. “Brother Kui, should we let him go?”

“He’s really strong.” Wang Kui bared his teeth and touched his butt. “What’s wrong with not letting him go? His reputation as a Third Honors Scholar is still popular! Let’s talk about it in a few days.”

The two of them touched their chins and smiled wretchedly. “Brother Kui is right. The capital lacks everything except for the novel. When this wind passes…” The three of them laughed tacitly.

Li Qing walked out of the garden angrily as Zhao Cai was entering. Seeing Li Qing’s expression, he knew that something was wrong and looked at him worriedly. “What’s wrong, Young Master?”

“Let’s talk in the carriage.” Li Qing left the Yuehua Restaurant. After getting into the carriage, he told Zhao Cai about the situation just now and instructed, “Brother Cai, don’t tell my sister, lest she worries.”

Li Qing’s eyes darkened. “Investigate quietly where this guy appears. Find out where he likes to go. We’ll talk about it in a few days.” As Li Qing spoke, he made a sacking gesture at Zhao Cai.

Zhao Cai narrowed his eyes and smiled as he thought to himself that, Young Master-in-law and Madam were indeed biological siblings.

When Li Qing returned to the residence, he saw Li Yu and Yangyang sitting by the lotus pond fishing. He smiled and sat beside Yangyang. “Sister, the two of you are really wasteful. These koi are not cheap on the market.”

Li Yu pulled up her fishing rod and smiled. “Do you think your sister is really a country bumpkin who doesn’t know anything?”

Li Qing took a closer look and realized that there was no bait on the hook. Yangyang looked at Li Qing proudly. “Uncle, Mother said that this is like the metaphor of Great Grandfather Jiang fishing. Those who are willing will take the bait!”

Li Qing touched the ribbon on the head of Yangyang’s bag. “Do you know who

Great Grandfather Jiang is?”

Yangyang thought for a moment and shook his head. “I don’t know! It must be an old man who knows how to fish!”

Li Yu smiled and kissed Yangyang. “Isn’t he just an old man who knows how to fish!”

Li Qing looked at Li Yu unhappily. “Sister, you’ll mislead the child like this. Yang’er, come, I’ll tell you the story of Great Grandfather Jiang fishing. In the past.. ‘

Li Yu looked at Li Qing, who was telling a story with Yangyang in his arms. She sat at the side and listened for a while. She got up and walked back. Just as she returned to the courtyard, she saw Xing Hua walking in with Granny Yang.

When Granny Yang saw Li Yu, she smiled and bowed. “Madam, I’m back.”

Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Alright, I was looking forward to your return! Can you still stay in the room you lived in two days ago?”

Granny Yang shook her head and bowed. “Madam, I’m here to work now. I can’t stay in the guest room anymore. I’ll stay in the same room as Miss Xing Hua.” “There are many empty rooms at home. You don’t have to squeeze together. You can stay next door to Xing Hua. Granny Yang, you’re not working in the palace anymore. Just be casual in my house. You don’t have to bow like Xing

Hua and the others.”

Granny Yang smiled and replied, “Yes, Madam.”

The next day was a good day. The spring breeze blew against one’s face and the sun made one feel lazy. Zhou Jia brought Yangyang to the Lin clan to study. Granny Yang accompanied Li Yu into the car and walked towards the garden to admire the flowers.

Granny Yang said gently to Li Yu, ‘Madam, Princess Yichun’s garden was originally the Eldest Princess’s dowry. It is by the East Lake. Later, when the Princess got married, the Eldest Princess made a dowry for the Princess. That garden is called the Hundred Garden. I heard that it’s filled with strange flowers and grass.”

“Then I have to take a good look. I’m not afraid of being laughed at by Granny. I don’t even know most of the flowers and plants in the garden at home. I still like flowers like gardenias, jasmine, white jasmine, and roses. They smell elegant and are easy to plant.”

“That’s right! It’s tiring to look at the flowers that you’ve spent too much effort raising. You have to serve them carefully every day and nothing can go wrong.”

When she reached the East Lake Hundred Garden, there were already many carriages parked in front of the garden. As soon as Li Yu got out of the car, she saw Madam Gong getting out of the carriage in front of Lin Yi and Lin Jia. Lin Jia got out of the carriage and saw Li Yu. She pulled Madam Gong. “Mother, Sister, look, Cousin is here too.”

Madam Gong saw that Li Yu, who usually wore plain clothes, was wearing a dark purple silk dress with peony patterns embroidered on it. She was wearing a peony bun and a full set of Five Phoenix Hairpins. The smallest pearl on the hairpin was the size of a thumbnail, and the largest was the size of a pigeon egg.

Li Yu walked up to the three of them and greeted them with a smile. Lin Jia looked at Li Yu and whispered to Lin Yi, “Sister, Cousin is really good-looking today.”

Lin Yi said gently, “Yes! I think so too.”

Li Yu walked up to the mother and daughter. Madam Gong looked at Li Yu with a smile. “Ah Yu, let’s go in together.”

Li Yu smiled and nodded. “Aunt, please..”
