but feel soft-hearted.But she didn't dare say much, she just quietly looked towards Old Madam Li.Li Laotai wasn't made of stone, of course she felt bad, but leading the whole village to flee was just...As summer approaches, the weather gets hotter. 。On the streets of Xindu, the bluestone pavement had become as hot as an iron plate. 。Any shoes with a thin sole feel hot to walk on. 。Then, there wasn't much of a deal, and everyone hid. 。He went to a country manor in the countryside, with mountains and water. Even though it wasn't particularly cool, it was at least refreshing for the soul. 。If you like lively places, go to teahouses or restaurants. There's always a basin of ice in the corner, keeping things cool. Hanging out with three or five friends or neighbors, chatting and venting, can really ease your anxiety. 。Of course, for the poor families struggling to make a living, they still have to work under the scorching sun...In Liu's mansion, as soon as Liu Zhiheng entered his father's courtyard, he drove away his wife and maidservants, leaving only a young servant to attend him. 。Then he ripped off his half-wet outer shirt and snatched his father's fan, frantically waving it. 。"I'm cooked, I'm cooked!" Liu Laoye saw his son's chubby face red like a monkey's butt, and his whole body covered in sweat. He felt sorry for him, but he still scolded 。Serves you right, for indulging in your gluttony every day, stuffing your head and belly with food, now that you're sweating, it's too late! But though he said that, he still had his servant bring over a basin of ice water, and personally poured some cool tea for his son. 。Liu Zhiheng gulped down the iced tea, gesturing to his father for another cup. Then, he took off his middle garment, baring his chest. 。Mr. Liu was practically disgusted, pushing the new tea over and asking, "Is everything done""It's done!" Liu Zhiheng nodded, replying, "All business dealings related to that side have been settled neatly." 。"The clan members have all tried it too!" He got angry again, saying, "Fortunately I arrived in time, or else there would be real trouble." 。"Uncle Liu believed his granddaughter was beautiful, and he'd been racking his brains to get her into the palace." 。Perhaps I stopped him earlier, and he was displeased. He went around through other people's paths privately and sent a heavy gift. 。"Father, this requires you to come forward personally." 。I'm still young and inexperienced. I might not express myself well, so please don't scold me for disrespecting my elders. 。" These past few years, we've been too protective of these people. We've let them get out of line." 。I thought we wouldn't be able to make ends meet without them, but it turns out that without us, they are just lambs to the slaughter. 。Liu Ziheng was angry, but he didn't want his father to be upset over these people. He quickly advised, "Father, we could just drive them back home." 。 Mr. Liu nodded and instructed, "You don't have to worry about this, I'll go out tomorrow." 。"

Liu Ziheng let out a long sigh and muttered in a low voice, “Everyone else thinks life is good for people like us. They don't know that everyone has their own struggles.” 。If there's even a slight stir in the palace, everyone becomes nervous and anxious. 。"Don't talk like that," Old Man Liu glared at him and scolded, "Wealth and danger are intertwined, isn't that true for every household" 。"This time, luckily Li Jia gave us a heads-up, otherwise our family would have fallen into the vortex just like everyone else." 。To think of getting out of this unscathed is simply a dream. 。"Yes, Father, don't worry, I understand." 。This was just me talking at home, casually. 。 。"Liu Zhiheng quickly changed the subject, "Shall we bring Zhimin and Xiujie back"

"Of course," 。This day is about to change, they are young and if they aren't careful with their words, they might say something they shouldn't, ruining the arrangements for the family. 。Mr. Liu missed his grandson a little and drove his son away directly, "You don't have to sweat here either, just go to Lu'an." 。" " is 。Liu Zhiheng put on a grim face, finally got dressed, and stepped out into the scorching sun. 。

Because it is backed by mountains, the Luo'an Academy is much cooler than the city.

Students have finished their lessons. It's lunchtime now, and no one is walking on the streets outside. They are all hiding in the academy, finding a grove of trees or a pavilion, holding a glass of iced fruit juice, reading books or chatting leisurely, enjoying themselves to the fullest. 。Liu Zhiheng went to visit Dean Zhou directly because he needed to take leave for both of his sons. 。 When Zhou's director heard Liu Zhiheng's excuse that his grandfather was slightly unwell, he naturally approved the leave request. At the end, he also asked him to help 。After Liu Da-ren returns to the city, could he please help me find Li Lao Er and ask him to come to the academy for a cup of tea when he is free Liu Zhiheng's eyes flashed with a gleam, guessing that Dean Zhou was definitely looking for Li Lao Er for something other than just a cup of tea. 。But he didn't ask, just readily agreed. 。He got close to the Li family, moving around with them. If something happened, Old Li Er wouldn't hide it from him either. 。Taking advantage of the late afternoon, when the sun was halfway down and it wasn't so hot, Liu Zhiheng took his two sons back to the city. 。He almost as soon as he entered the city gate, drove his son off the carriage and ran straight to Li Laoer's and Mr. Wen's residence in the south of the city. 。 Zhimin and Xiujie saw their father pat his butt and run away, they didn't get angry, instead they turned their heads and rushed to Baiyun Inn. They ordered two pieces of fruit ice cream cake to cool off. 。They had all heard about it at school, this fruit ice cream cake, which Baiyunian had just launched these days and was selling like hotcakes in Xindu. They had been craving it for ages, and today was finally the day they could try it. 。Of course, it's okay to come home late. Bringing one for grandpa and grandma each will make them smile with delight. 。As for Old Man... well, there's not enough money in my pocket this time, let's talk about it next time. 。Liu Zhiheng didn't know that he was disliked by his sons. After having dinner and chatting at the small courtyard in the south of the city, he went home. 。Li Lao'er didn't know what Dean Zhou had to do, so the next day he arranged it. He took two boxes of snacks from Baiyun Guan and then went to the academy. 。Dr. Zhou didn't expect Lao Er to arrive so soon, and was very surprised. 。Lao Er Li sent up two boxes of snacks, took a sip of tea, and then got straight to the point. 。"Dean Zhou called me over, I don't know what for But my nephew is mischievous, what kind of trouble has he gotten into""No, no!" Dean Zhou quickly waved his hand and replied, "Master misunderstood, Jia Kang this child is very good." 。Although he may not have put as much effort into his studies as others, he was meticulous in his actions, respectful to his teachers and classmates, and was well-liked by both his teacher and fellow students. 。Especially since he's been writing travelogues recently, spending his days in the library and rarely venturing out. What chance does he have of causing trouble 。Hearing this, Li La Er felt relieved. 。The headmaster hurriedly instructed everyone to prepare a banquet and also invited Mr. Peng and Old Li over for a drink together. 。Mr. Peng is the father-in-law of Jia's family. Besides not understanding matters in the backyard, his character and knowledge are excellent, and Li Laoer has nothing to be annoyed with. 。Li Laosan is even his own brother, if President Zhou doesn't invite him, Li Laoer will also go to the canteen to have a look. 。Soon, Mr. Peng and Lao San Li arrived, and the banquet was also set up. 。Mr. Peng enjoys elegance. There are ice basins in each corner of the flower hall, and several pots of fragrant jasmine plants, making it very lush and refreshing. 。It's not that unbearable to eat here. 。Four people took off their outer garments, ate and drank, and were quite harmonious and lively. 。After three rounds of wine and five flavors of dishes, Dean Zhou, taking advantage of the alcohol, finally spoke up. "Lord, I heard that the Emperor is going to select a tutor for the second prince" Today's two chapters are offered~~~dn't believe it until now.""Compared to Li Lao Madam, who is also getting older but so kind and approachable with her laughter and smiles, my mother-in-law... well, she's like scolding the heavens.
