"Miss, why do you come back so early today?"
Hearing the footsteps outside, Mammy Li immediately came out of the kitchen in the small courtyard and asked in surprise.
Su Li smiled embarrassedly and explained, "Nothing. The Second Mother came to see the Eldest Brother. It's not good for me to stay there, so I came back first. Mammy, is there anything delicious for lunch today? "
The Second Madam came?
Mammy Li was shocked. She wiped her hands and took off her apron. Then she quickly came over and grabbed Su Li's hands. She looked at Su Li and asked nervously, "Did the Second Madam embarrass you?"
"No, the Eldest Brother is here." Su Li smiled foolishly.
"Alas …"
Mammy Li sighed softly. No matter how good the First Master was, he was the son of the Second Madam. When the First Master understood the ways of the world, maybe his feelings for the Second Miss would fade.
These thoughts had been lingering in Mammy Li's mind for a long time. But seeing that Su Li was rarely so happy, she couldn't bear to say a word.
After lunch, Su Li picked up a branch to practice calligraphy in the yard. Mammy Li thought she was playing, so she shook her head and didn't care much. Until the evening, Su Li hung down her sore arms and sighed with relief.
After a month's hard work, she had recognized all the words of the first level of Xuangong. Coupled with the understanding of the previous life, she had understood 80%. Now it was no problem to start practicing immediately.
But to be on the safe side, she had to wait until she fully understood it.
"Second Sister, the Eldest Brother came to see you."
Suddenly, the door of the small courtyard was knocked. Su Li immediately dropped the branch and opened the door.
Seeing Su Li's bright face, Su Qingtan smiled unconsciously. He touched Su Li's forehead and said softly, "Second Sister, are you angry? My mother just cares about you. She doesn't mean to blame you. "
Su Li shook her head like a rattle drum and said crisply, "I'm fine. The Second Mother did it for the good of the Eldest Brother."
"Second Sister, you are so sensible!"
Su Qingtan praised her and suddenly took out his hand behind his back. He said, "Look what the Eldest Brother brought you."
Su Qingtan held a thick basic copybook in his hand. The cover was much more delicate than the one Su Li saw in the study before.
"Dictionary of Dahan"!
Su Li was slightly stunned. She had seen this copybook. It was exactly the same as the one that the disabled Xiang Gong taught her in the previous life.
"This is the calligraphy book issued by the government of the Dahan Dynasty. The characters and explanations are the most complete. The prefectural government I am going to has a specialized school. This book of calligraphy is no longer of any use to me, so I will give it to you today. Mother won't let you go to the study, so you can only study by yourself. "
"Thank you, big brother!"
Su Li took the copybook carefully as if it was a treasure. The last eight levels of the mental cultivation method of the Book of Poison and Mysterious Kung Fu not only have a lot of new words, but the meaning of the words is even more obscure and difficult to understand. This copybook is exactly what she needs now.
"It's just a copybook. Is there a need to be so happy?"
Su Qingtan couldn't help laughing when he saw his second sister's eyes lit up.
"This is the first gift Big Brother gave me. Of course I'm happy."
Su Li giggled. Su Qingtan was stunned and felt warm in his heart. She was really a silly girl.
In the blink of an eye, two months had passed. Su Qingtan had been studying poetry and practicing martial arts every day. It was less than a month before the county nomination was announced. Su Huanli specially rushed to the East Courtyard to supervise his son's revision, but he was inevitably worried.
Last year, for the nomination, almost half of the family property was spent. Even if the county magistrate Li Shanbao knew that it was a misunderstanding, he would never say it clearly. If other families offered a higher price, Tan's place would be uncertain.
"Master, don't worry too much. The First Young Master is talented in both literature and martial arts. Even compared with those young talents in the county, he is not inferior. If Li Shanbao goes too far, let the First Young Master go directly to the County City to participate in the martial arts competition! "
The old butler comforted him. Su Huanli snorted coldly, "What do you know? The water in the County City is deeper. Swords and sabers have no eyes in the martial arts competition. Over the years, many people have left their hands and feet there. Tan is the eldest son of our Su Family. I will never allow him to take risks! "
"But Lord Li …" The old butler looked worried and sighed, "What should we do?"
Su Huanli's face was very long. If it weren't for the trouble made by Zipei last year, how could his Su Family be in such an embarrassing position?
Knock!
At this moment, there was a soft knock outside the courtyard door. A soft and pleasant voice came, "Daddy, Erya brings you snacks."
Erya?
Su Huanli frowned. The butler immediately explained, "Before the First Madam and the Third Miss … Second Miss was seriously injured and has been recuperating in the East Courtyard."
"Hum! It's nonsense! "
Su Huanli, who had a bad feeling, became angrier when he heard the butler mention his third daughter, Su Zipei.
At this time, Su Li pushed the door and came in with a tray. She put the tray on the tea table next to Su Huanli.
"You … you are the Second Miss?"
