"Miss, why are you back so early today?"
When Grandma Li heard the footsteps outside, she immediately came out of the kitchen in the small courtyard and asked in surprise.
Su Li smiled sheepishly and explained: "It's nothing. Second mother came to see my eldest brother. I couldn't do it over there, so I came back first. Nanny, is there anything delicious for lunch today?"
The second lady is here
Grandma Li was startled when she heard this. She wiped her hands and took off her apron. She quickly came over and grabbed Su Li's hand. She looked left and right and asked nervously, "Second Madam, didn't she make things difficult for you?"
"No, big brother is here." Su Li smiled silly.
"well… "
Grandma Li sighed softly. No matter how good the young master is, he is still the son of the second lady. In the future, when the young master understands the ways of the world, his feelings for the second lady may fade away.
These thoughts have been swirling in Nanny Li's heart for a long time, but seeing Su Li rarely being so happy now, she couldn't bear to say a word.
After lunch, Su Li picked up tree branches in the yard to practice calligraphy. Grandma Li thought she was playing, so she shook her head and smiled and didn't pay much attention. Until evening, Su Li lowered her aching arms and breathed a sigh of relief.
After a month of hard work, she has fully understood the first level of the Xuan Gong formula. Coupled with her past life experience, she has understood 80% of it. There is no problem in starting to practice now.
But to be on the safe side, let’s wait until she understands everything before practicing.
"Second sister, eldest brother is here to see you."
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the small courtyard, and Su Qingtan's voice came from outside. Su Li immediately dropped the branch and opened the door.
Seeing Su Li with a bright face, Su Qingtan couldn't help but smile. She touched Su Li's forehead and said warmly: "Second sister, are you not angry? My mother is just caring and has no intention of blaming you."
Su Li shook her head like a rattle and said crisply: "Er Ya is fine, Er Niang is doing it for the best of my eldest brother."
"Second sister is so sensible!"
Su Qingtan praised her, then suddenly took out her hand behind her back and said, "Look what big brother has brought for you."
I saw Su Qingtan holding a thick basic copybook in his hand. The cover was much more exquisite than what Su Li had read in the study before.
"Dahantongzi"!
Su Li was slightly startled. She had seen this copybook before, and it was exactly the same as the copybook that her disabled husband used to teach her in her previous life.
"This is a copybook issued by the imperial court. It has the most complete words and explanations. The county where I will go has a special school. This copybook is no longer useful. I will give it to you today. Mother will not let you go. In the study, you can only study by yourself."
"Thank you, brother!"
Su Li took the copybook carefully, treating it like a treasure. The eighth level of the Heart Method of Poison Sutra Xuan Gong not only has many words, but the meanings of the words are even more obscure and difficult to understand. This copybook is exactly what she needs most now.
"It's just a copybook. Do you need to be so happy about it?"
Seeing the second sister's eyes shining brightly, Su Qingtan couldn't help but laugh.
"This is the first gift that my eldest brother has given me. Of course I am happy."
Su Li laughed and said, Su Qingtan was startled for a moment, and a deep warmth flowed through her heart. She is really a silly girl.
In the blink of an eye, two months have passed, and Su Qingtan has been studying poetry and practicing martial arts diligently every day. It has been less than a month since the county nomination was announced. Su Huanli rushed to the east courtyard to supervise his son's homework review, but he couldn't help feeling worried.
Last year, for the nomination, almost half of the family's property was lost. County magistrate Li Shanbao was greedy. Even if he knew it was a misunderstanding, he would never say it clearly. If other families offer a higher price, Tan'er's quota will be on the line.
"Master, don't worry too much. The eldest young master's versatility in both civil and military affairs is comparable to that of the young talents in the county. If Li Shanbao bullies others too much, let the young master directly go to the county to participate in the martial arts competition!"
The old housekeeper comforted him, and Su Huanli snorted coldly, "What do you know? The water in the county is deeper, and the swords and swords have no eyes. How many people have left their hands and feet there over the years, Tan'er is the eldest son of my Su family, I will never Don’t let him take risks!”
"But Master Li..." The old housekeeper looked worried and sighed: "What should we do?"
Su Huanli's old face was extremely long. If it hadn't been for what Zi Pei had done last year, why would his Su family be in such an embarrassing position.
Tuk Tuk!
At this moment, there was a soft click outside the courtyard door, and a soft and pleasant voice came, "Dad, Erya has brought you some snacks."
Erya
Su Huanli frowned, and the housekeeper immediately explained: "The eldest lady and the third young lady... the second young lady was seriously injured and has been recuperating in the east hospital."
"Hmph! That's nonsense!"
Su Huanli, who was already disgusted, became even more angry when the housekeeper mentioned his third daughter, Su Zipei.
At this time, Su Li pushed the door open and walked in with a tray, and placed the tray on the coffee table next to Su Huanli with a light step.
"You...are you the second young lady?"
The old housekeeper seemed to see Su Li for the first time. His eyes were wide open and he asked in disbelief.
