One second to remember [Brushstroke Pavilion] [Free of charge, read the wonderful novel!]

Bad guy!

"I didn't see it." Li Man's face was red with anger.

"Oh." The smile in Li Yan's eyes grew wider as he humphed and said, "I didn't see it. I thought you had already put it away."

Was he saying that he had secretly hidden his hair band? He really thought too much.

Li Mang rolled his eyes at him, then lazily explained to him, turning around, he wanted to go outside to take a breath of fresh air, but his arm around her waist had never moved. When she moved, the hand on her lower back had moved to her lower abdomen.

And what was even more despicable was that with a sudden burst of strength from his large, broad palms, he held her back tightly against his chest. The warm and clean male scent completely wrapped around her, and before Li Man could even react, his chin was pressed against her delicate shoulder as he whispered in her ear, "Wife, are you afraid of me?"

Who was afraid? Eh? Wait …

Li Man abruptly turned around, her forehead brushing against his soft lips. A strange feeling flowed through her heart, causing her to tremble slightly. For a moment, she forgot what she was about to ask.

The corner of Li Yan's mouth flew into the air. His slender fingers gently caressed his lips as he lightly pressed them against Li Man's forehead.

Such a intimate action struck Li Man like a bolt of lightning. She quickly retreated and laid her back against the table. She glared at him, unable to find the words to describe him. Her heart thumped wildly …

"Wife, what's wrong?" As soon as he returned, he saw Li Man and Li Yan staring at each other.

Li Tu followed after him, staring at Li Yan in confusion. "Second Brother?"

Li Yan slightly raised his eyebrows and smiled, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Can second brother eat her? "

"Wife?" Seeing that Li Man's eyes were still straight, Li Shu carefully touched her.

Li Man was startled, but she quickly regained her senses. She looked at Li Shu, and her gaze slowly swept across Li Yan's body before finally landing on Li Tu.

Li Tu! Li Man's mind suddenly trembled. She pushed away Li Shu and walked forward. Grabbing Li Tu's hand, she led him away.

"Wife?" Surprised, Li Shu hurriedly followed.

Li Man just took Li Tu out the door, under the eaves, picked up a branch, on the ground wrote: Wife, what does it mean?

This was the first time she used a punctuation mark. At first, Li Tu was a little confused, but soon he understood. His eyes revealed an indescribable joy as he pointed at the comma and question marks and asked Li Man, "Did you create this yourself?"

No matter what, with these two strange symbols, the meaning of a sentence seemed to be much clearer.

Li Man didn't have the heart to explain to him about the punctuation, but pointed at the words with the branch, "Tell me."

"That's what you think." Li Jun's white face slightly blushed.

"I think?" Li Man's heart skipped a beat. He still wanted to confirm but didn't dare to ask. He wrote on the ground, "Then am I your second brother's wife, or your third brother's wife?"

Why did Li Yan call her his wife just now?

He was really confused. Was this daughter-in-law really different from how she was addressed in modern times? Big Sis, Big Sis, Big Sis, etc.

A trace of depression appeared in Li Tu's eyes. How did she know that Second and Third Brother were his wives?

Thus, Li Tu took the branch from her hand and wrote a line of words on the ground, "You are my wife."

It was a simple line of words, written so smoothly and clearly, yet it was like thorns piercing right into Li Man's eyes, and even her head began to ache.

This youth also said that she was his wife?

Fainted, she still managed to figure out who those two were, but why was there another one now?

Li Man felt dizzy and her eyes turned black.

Li Dian hurriedly supported her as she was on the verge of collapse, "What happened?" Was it because of his words? Did she not want to be his wife?

Li Yan and Li Shu, who were standing to the side, also jumped in fright. They came over and asked worriedly, "Are you alright?"

[What the hell is going on? Li Man looked at Li Yan and Li Shu, who were squeezing towards her again, and felt conflicted. 'All five brothers of the Li Family call me their wife?' Are you really sure that this daughter-in-law isn't the same as the 'Big Sis, Big Sis, Big Sis' or something like that?

"Where are you feeling uncomfortable?" Looking at her pale face, Li Yan couldn't help but reach out to touch her forehead. It wasn't hot, but rather cold. "Did you wear too little?"

Li Man pushed his hand away and shook her head weakly. Her mind was in a mess and she couldn't get rid of the numbness in it.

"What are you all trying to do?" Li Mo asked when he came back from outside.

The few of them turned to look at him and saw Li Mo walking out of the rain mist. His body was wet, but there was a faint smile on his face.

"Big brother." Li Dian was very curious. Why did his brother's mood change so much after leaving the city for so long?

"Oh." Li Mo had already walked over, looked at them, and then looked at Li Man. His honey-colored face was slightly flushed, and before anyone could ask him where he was going and what he was doing, he had already hurried to the east room, "I'm going back to my room to change."

Although the brothers were puzzled, none of them questioned him any further. All of their attention was on Li Man.

Li Man's face looked slightly better, but the three of them were still worried.

"My wife, if you feel uncomfortable anywhere, you have to say it." Li Shu said.

Li Man facepalmed, thinking it was because of your daughter-in-law.

"Why don't I get a doctor to come take a look?" As Li Tu spoke, he was about to leave when Li Man grabbed him and said, "No need, I'm fine."

"It's really fine?" Li Yan scrutinized her closely. It was a fact that she had almost fainted just now.

Right, Li Yan suddenly looked towards Li Dian and asked, "Fourth Brother, what did you just write on the ground?"

"I —" Li Dian's heart sank. It was still his own words, she … He looked at Li Man and said in a low voice, "If you don't want to, I —"

"It has nothing to do with you." Seeing his suddenly lonely face, Li Man quickly shook her head and interrupted him, "Don't stand here, it's cold. Let's go back to the house to eat."

After saying that, she left the three of them and silently entered the kitchen. She sat at the table and stopped moving. Her mind was in a mess, so she decided to calm down.

However, when they saw that she didn't want to get close to them, no one dared to speak to her again. Instead, they silently scooped up a bowl of porridge and placed it beside her.

— —

In the east room, when Li Mo entered the house, only Little Wu was sitting on the bed, covering himself with a blanket. When she saw him come back wet, she jumped in fright. "Big Brother, why are you all wet?"

"Oh." Li Mo did not directly answer the question, but said, "Little Wu, you should go eat first. Big brother needs to change his clothes."

"Alright." Xiao Wu quickly got off the bed, put on his shoes and went out. He even closed the door for his big brother.

Li Mo turned his head and saw that the door was tightly shut. Only then did he carefully take out something from his chest.

It was a bracelet made of red rope. It was very unique. The people of the Goddess Gully all called it 'marriage string'. He had just gone to the shrine to ask for it when it rained.

"Big brother, are you done changing? The porridge is cold. At the door, the voice of Little Wu sounded.

"Oh." Li Mo grasped the bracelet tightly and hurriedly found a set of clean clothes from the cabinet. He immediately changed and entered the kitchen.

As soon as he arrived at the kitchen, he noticed that the atmosphere wasn't right.

Li Man lowered her head and put the chopsticks into her mouth one by one while stupefying her expression.

As for the others, they sat around the table. No one was eating, and they were only staring at her with worried expressions.

"What's going on?" Li Mo sat beside Little Five and asked in puzzlement.

Li Shu hurriedly winked at Big Brother, purposely lowering his voice. "Big Brother, my wife is bewitching. It's been a while and it's been like this."

Why would he be stumped when he was perfectly fine? Li Mo looked at Li Yan and Li Tu, and both of them shook their heads.

Li Mo frowned and looked at Li Man. He did not know how to reply as he pushed the bowl of bread next to his hand towards her.

Sure enough, Li Man's eyes moved, but she still said in a dull tone, "Thank you."

Then, he picked up a piece of cake and nibbled on it, swallowing it without chewing.

Li Mo had a serious expression as he looked at the others. "What didn't you do to her?"

"Nope." Li Shu was the first to raise his hand and swear.

Li Yan glanced at Li Tu. Li Tu felt somewhat guilty and took the initiative to explain, "Just now, she asked me a few questions."

"What do you mean?"

Li Mo, Li Yan, and Li Shu's gazes all landed on him at the same time.

Originally, Li Wen did not want to tell them, after all, the reason Li Wen wrote them was probably because he did not want the others to know about them, but at this moment, seeing her like this, he was also very worried, so he honestly explained, "What does she mean by asking my wife? "And you're still asking, is she Second Brother's daughter-in-law or Third Brother's?"

"Yeah?" Li Shu remembered, "My wife asked me before, could it be that she doesn't understand?"

Li Yan's eyes slightly narrowed as he stared fixedly at Li Man, seeming to understand something, "Big Brother, did she know what you bought her for when you came back the other day?"

Li Mo was stunned.

Li Yan added, "Or rather, does she know that she was bought to be our wife?"

Li Mo's expression became unspeakably ugly. His lips moved, but for a moment, he did not know how to explain this matter.

"Big brother?" He remembered the first time he saw Li Man. At that time, she wrote to him asking about their relationship. At that time, he said it was because he was being tactful, saying it was his family.

In fact, did she not even know her current identity?

"Big brother?" Li Yan and Li Shu also asked closely.

Li Mo took a deep breath and was about to speak when Li Man suddenly put down her chopsticks and said, "I'm full." Then he stood up like a puppet and left the kitchen expressionlessly, returning to his room.

Everyone was stunned again!

— —

Li Man went back to her room and closed the door. She sat down on her kang in a daze. She didn't feel any moisture under her, as there was still water on the roof.

The scenes of Li Yan, Li Shu, and Li Tu interacting with her continuously flashed through her mind. The three of them continuously called out to her as if they were calling a nanny, causing her head to hurt.

She rubbed her head in frustration, her hair tied up. But, who would help her get rid of this mess?

What was going on? Why did she feel so weird? It was really weird.

— —

"Big Brother, when my wife bought it back, did the middle-aged man not tell her this? And you didn't tell her? " Li Yan's questions broke the silence in the kitchen.

Li Mo's brows furrowed as he said in a low voice, "This is a long story."

"What's wrong?" Didn't you buy it from the human market? " This unbelievable answer suddenly popped out in Li Tu's mind.

Li Yan also looked at Li Mo in surprise, thinking that Li Man looked good, and could even write. Li Yan also looked at Li Mo in shock, and thought that Li Man looked good, and could even write.

Thinking about this, they all thought that Li Man could not possibly have come out of that human market. After all, if she had sold her things there, the price would have been too high for their family to afford.

For a time, the brothers were inexplicably panicking in their hearts.

Li Mo swept a glance at the others and said, "It's not what you think, she was indeed bought by me in the human market."

"Oh." The three brothers simultaneously let out sighs of relief.

"But..." Li Mo immediately changed the topic of conversation, which suddenly raised the hearts of the brothers, "But what? Big Brother, hurry up and say it. "

Li Mo's expression was complex. Finally, he said, "Actually, back then in the human market, she wasn't like she is now."

"Hmm?" Everyone was puzzled. "What's that like?"

Li Mo saw the puzzled look on everyone's face, and his mind involuntarily recalled what happened at the human market that day.

That day, he'd carried the 10 silver he'd accumulated over the years with him and arrived at an outsider city, and he wanted to buy an honest wife for his brothers.

However, there were those who were not satisfied after going around the market. It was not that the price was too high, but it was that the price was too high. He did not like the price, but he would never buy a girl from a flowerhouse.

There were also a few girls with poor upbringing, their faces were yellow, their bodies were small, and many of them had lifeless eyes. He wanted to buy them, but he was afraid of losing them, so he wandered around for a while and didn't find anything suitable.

Just as he was about to go back in disappointment, a figure suddenly crashed into his arms, followed by a burly man holding a stick.

The person who had fallen into his arms was Li Man. She was dressed in rags, her hair was a mess, and her face was covered in blood. It was impossible to see what had happened.

She had grabbed onto his clothes with all her might, as if she was holding onto the last straw. She had said something he didn't understand, but he could tell from her eyes that she was asking for help.

Thus, out of sympathy, Li Mo spent all the silver he had to save her, but the burly man took the silver and left without giving him any written agreement.

At that time, he hadn't told her clearly that he wanted her to come back and be his wife. After all, her appearance at that time really didn't seem like much, and he was afraid that his picky brothers wouldn't be willing.

But on the way back, she washed her face by a pond.

Li Mo felt that he would probably never be able to forget the scene at that time for the rest of his life.

After his face was washed clean of blood, what entered his line of sight was a beautiful face, a fair skin, big eyes, and a perky nose …

She smiled gratefully at him, dreamy in the sunlight, her bright eyes as bright as the stars in the sky.

In that instant, for the first time in his life, he lost his mind for a woman.

— —

The brothers listened for a long time without saying anything.

Xiao Wu finished his porridge and sat there quietly, looking at this and that. His intuition told him that something had happened and it was related to his sister.

He was very uneasy as he lightly touched Li Mo's arm. "Big Brother, will Big Sister leave us?" The moment he asked the question, the little fellow's eyes reddened.

"Impossible, she's our wife, big brother spent money on her." Li Shu shouted, as if he wanted everyone in the world to be sure of this fact.

Li Yan glared at him. "Be quiet." Then, he looked at Li Mo and said, "This matter is a little complicated."

At that time, Li Mo nodded and brought his wife back, which made his brothers very satisfied, because he was also very happy, thinking that things were going to end like this. Although he spent ten taels of silver, his wife's appearance was good, and her temperament seemed to be good.

"Brother, could she have been kidnapped and sold off?" Li Dian asked with a perturbed expression.

Li Shu nodded.

Li Mo shook his head helplessly. "I don't know."

Li Yan replied, "It doesn't look like it. If she was kidnapped and sold, she should have thought about going back."

"She didn't run away." Book Li said.

Li Yan still shook his head. "Although she has run there once, you have all seen it. She has made up her mind to live with us."

"Then —" Li Tu thought about it and said, "Maybe she really did tell Big Brother about it last time. Maybe she's a servant girl from some big family. When her master fell into poverty, she was also sold here."

"It's possible!" Li Yan and Li Shu agreed at the same time. They were all looking forward to this answer in their hearts.

They looked at each other and eventually fell silent.

Li Mo finally made a decision and said, "No matter what, since we have decided on her, we will treat her well for the rest of our lives."

"Of course." As for the others, even Little Wu solemnly nodded his head.

"Alright then." Li Mo's expression was firm as he said in a low voice, "This matter shall end here. From now on, she is our wife." "To eat."

With a slap from their big brother, their little brothers' hearts finally dropped. No matter what, their daughter-in-law was their daughter-in-law, no one should even think of snatching her from their hands.

Li Mo was going to the back of the mountain with Li Shu to look at some bamboo branches and then weave them together before covering them with a piece of thatch so that at least the roof wouldn't be leaking rain for a short period of time.

Li Yan had said that he had something on, but when his eldest brother and third brother left, his fourth brother and fifth brother opened the door and entered Li Man's room while they were busy cleaning up in the kitchen.

Li Man was still tugging at her hair when she heard the door ring. She looked up, then down again, struggling with a strange feeling.

"Why did it become like this?" Li Yan walked up and pulled her hand down, preventing her from shaving his hair like this. Seeing her just sitting on the wet brick bed, he frowned and pulled her up. "You're already this wet on the brick bed, why are you still sitting?"

"Who cares?" Li Man angrily reached out her hand to push him away, but she didn't push him away. Instead, she was pulled into his embrace. Her little face bumped into his firm chest, and her nose started to ache. Her tears almost flowed out.

She was so angry that she reached out her hand to hit him, but her tears really did flow out. "What are you doing? Is there anyone who bullies others like you? I just want to be alone, don't I? I won't wear the hairpin you gave me, hmph. "

She pouted her lips in anger, sparkling tears rolling down her smooth and clean face like pearls with broken strings. Her expression was clearly filled with stubbornness and anger, but the hearts of the onlookers were as soft as a pool of water.

"If you don't want to wear it, then don't want to wear it. What are you crying for?" Li Yan held her little face in his hands and gently wiped the tears off her face with his callused fingers.

"Who's crying?" Li Man turned her head and stubbornly lied.

However, Li Yan once again turned her face towards him. With a gentle smile, his finger made contact with her tears as he thrust them towards her eyes. "Then, what is this?"

"You?" Li Teng fiercely bit her lower lip, staring at him with tears in her eyes, "What are you trying to do?"

Li Yan sighed. "What do you think?" Do you really hate me that much? "

"Me?" She never said she hated him, but why did he always do what she hated?

"I don't know why you suddenly did this. But it's not because of me, is it? " Li Yan lowered his head, staring unwaveringly at her with his ink-black eyes, as if he wanted to see into her heart.

Li Man gritted her teeth as she stared at him. If it wasn't him, who else could it be? If not for his wife, would she have ended up like this?

"Why do you call me my wife?" She might as well ask.

"Heh, don't like it? "Then I'll call you something else. Mano, how about it?" Sounds intimate.

Li Man pushed away his fingers that were stroking her hair and moved to the side, looking at him warily. "Don't you think you're going too far by doing this? Men and women shouldn't be so intimate with each other. Don't you understand? "

"I don't understand. What did you say?" Li Yan pretended to be confused.

"You?" Li Man was furious.

When Li Tu heard the sound from next door, he walked over and saw Li Man and his second brother in a stalemate in the room. When he got closer, he saw Li Man's eyes were red and there were tears at the corners of her eyes.

"Second brother, what are you doing?" Li Tu stood protectively in front of Li Man and questioned her with a trembling voice.

Li Yan's gaze turned slightly cold as he smiled, "Fourth brother, what do you think I can do to her?"

Li Tu turned his head to look at Li Man and asked, "Are you alright?"

Li Man rubbed her eyes and shook her head.

"Don't rub." Li Dian quickly tore off her hand. "If you continue rubbing my eyes, it will become swollen."

Li Man answered with an "En" and obediently stopped rubbing.

Li Yan watched on with a sour heart. He advised her not to cry; she would only glare at him. When Fourth Brother spoke, she was as obedient as a kitten.

"Alright, Fourth Brother, I'll leave her to you." Li Yan swept a glance at Li Man and left after saying that.

Little Wu was leaning against the door, staring at the scene inside. After Second Bro left, he came in, leaned next to Fourth Bro, and stared at Li Man with reddened eyes, "Big sis, will you leave?"

"Leave?" She had thought about it, but where could she go from here?

Li Man gently ruffled Xiao Wu's hair and shook her head.

Xiao Wu immediately grabbed her hand, his little body snuggling to her side as he looked up at her with a face full of dependence.

Li Man's heart suddenly softened. This child … Having not had a mother since she was young was truly pitiful.

"I'm not leaving." Li Man held Little Wu's hand and comforted her.

"Yes." Only then did Xiao Wu smile and look at Li Tu.

Li Tu also smiled and said to Li Man, "This room is very humid. Let's go to that room."

She was afraid that everyone else might be around, so she felt embarrassed. After all, she had just cried a while ago.

"Big brother and third brother went up the mountain to chop bamboo." Li Tu said.

Li Man nodded. Holding Little Wu's hand, the three of them went to the east room.

Li Yan wasn't here. It was unknown where he had gone.

Li Man was still a bit nervous because Li Tu was there. She went to the east room and sat at the head of the brick bed, quietly looking out the window.

Little Wu sat beside her, accompanying her as they looked out of the window.

Last night, the storm was too heavy, and the small garden in the backyard was a mess as well. The cucumber rack had been turned upside down, and quite a bit of chilli peppers had been overlaid. Just as Li Man was about to ask if she should go and take care of it, she saw Li Yan's figure walking over from the corner of the house.

Li Man quickly retracted her gaze and closed the window tightly.

With this window closed, the already dark room became even darker.

Li Tu intended to keep the books warm, but such light obviously wasn't good enough. Thus, he went to the closet to change into a few old clothes that no one else could wear for Little Wu.

The five of them were small and thin, and their clothes were way too big for him.

Li Man watched him attentively from the side. What a coincidence. Even if he was wearing old patched clothes, he would still be able to turn them into something nice to look at.

Looking at Xiao Wu trying on his new jacket, Li Man couldn't help but sigh and ask, "How did you learn all this?" It's not difficult to sew clothes, but you have to at least learn how to cut them.

When Li Tu heard her question, he felt a little shy. "We'll know how to do it if we overdo it."

"Your family's clothes have always been made by you?" Li Man could not believe it.

"Fourth brother can make clothes when he's six years old." Xiao Wu said happily at the side.

"Six years old?" Genius.

His parents had died early, and his eldest brother, second brother, third brother had been busy with work all day, earning for their food. He couldn't care less about that, so at his young age, he had basically taken care of his younger brother's laundry and cooking.

As for making clothes, in the beginning, it was because his big brother hunted and was often injured and came home. His clothes were mostly torn, so he tried to sew them up.

Li Man saw him like this and more or less guessed that there was no woman in the house. But when she looked at Li Mo's group of three, none of them looked like they were made of spinning needles or thread.

"Oh right, what are you studying in the town for?" In order to ease the atmosphere, Li Man changed the topic.

Li Tu looked up and smiled at her. He then pouted at the small stool and said, "The books are over there. Take a look."

"Yes." Li Man couldn't wait any longer. She quickly took the bag and took out a few books.

One 'Analects' and one 'Book of Songs'. When he flipped through them, he found handwritten copies. The handwriting was delicate and elegant, and it was precisely the work of Li's painting.

"You copied this yourself?" Li Man was curious. She flipped through the other two books, but they were all annotations.

"Yes." The books were very expensive. He had borrowed them from the teacher.

Li Man flipped through the annotations. They were also transcribed. However, the contents here were somewhat similar to a teacher's teaching plan, mainly aimed at the annotations on those two books.

"When you study, do you have to rely on yourselves to copy all the books?" Didn't you already have the paper? Although it was coarse like the inferior straw paper used in modern times, it was still there.

"Yes, the books are very expensive." Li Tu bit off the last thread and brushed off his pants before calling on Little Five, "Try it on."

"Yes." Xiao Wu excitedly grabbed his pants, but just as he was about to change his pants, he glanced at Li Man and blushed. He then ran out while hugging his pants shyly.

Li Man giggled. The devilish brat even knew how to be shy.

When Li Tu saw her smile, his heart also became happy. He casually picked up the 'Analects of Confucius' and asked, "Have you learned this before?"

"I've learned it before." Li Man answered without thinking, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized she had said the wrong thing.

In this era, there were very few women who could read and read characters. Even if they could read, they would mostly be reading books like the 'Woman's Law'. A book like this was something that they would not be able to read even if they wanted to.

"Oh." Li Man quickly corrected herself, "I didn't learn much, and I'm not good at it either."

"Which ones?" Li Dian casually flipped through the book and asked in an unintentional manner.

Li Man waved her hand. "I've long since forgotten all about it. I've only learned a little about it in the past. It's nothing more than a piece of cake."

Li Tu didn't know if she was actually being modest or if she was intentionally hiding it, but he guessed that she wouldn't say anything more and didn't tactfully ask any further.

Li Man secretly stuck out her tongue. If she were to become so knowledgeable, would it make people suspicious?

Besides, what she had learned in the modern world was not necessarily the same as this. It was better not to show it off.

Both of them lowered their heads in silence. The atmosphere suddenly froze.

Li Teng pretended to be bored out of her mind. She didn't like to read these books, so if it was < > or something, she could read it and pass the time.

"This, I like the most." Suddenly, Li Tu pointed at a piece of paper and passed it to Li Man.

Li Manlian looked at it. Confucius said: "Is this a blessing? I can't afford it. "

"En," Li Man's eyes revealed a hint of joy. She had once loved him, and thinking about the conversation between him and her disciple in the afternoon, she found it very warm and interesting.

Li Tu looked at her, then smiled and said, "Do you really want to see what the tribute looks like? Fang Fang's? How could it be a human? Also, Confucius said that he's not a fake, so of course he's not, hur hur. "

Hearing this, Li Man became completely dumbfounded. She looked at him suspiciously, "You?" Were you explaining to me about this earlier? "

"Hmm?" Li Dian still had a smile on his face. "Don't you find it interesting? "A man with a square face and a fake teacher —"

"Stop." Seeing that he was not the least bit spouting nonsense, Li Man hurriedly held out her hand to stop him. She asked in surprise, "Who told you that? Your teacher?"

Li Tu seemed to be stunned for a moment, then he nodded, "What's wrong?" Every time we talk about it, we find it funny. "

It's funny. You teachers are really funny. How did a good argument turn out to be like that? Even if he were to explain it in words, it would be wrong. Furthermore, it was not a lie, but a matter of time.

Li Man looked at him helplessly, took the book, and pointed to the essay, "Your teacher might just be playing around with you." Li Man looked at him helplessly, took the book, and pointed to the essay, "Your teacher might just be playing around with you. When the teacher heard this, he disagreed. And then she said to him, "Do you have the leisure to pay attention to others? Really, I don't have the time! Furthermore, the last word is not a fake, but an uncontrollable fact. "

Li Fu lowered her head, her expression becoming darker. Li Man's explanation was clear, vivid and interesting. It was even better than the teacher's rigid explanation. Did she really just learn a little bit of the stuff?

"What's wrong?" Li Man was afraid he didn't believe her, so she said, "I didn't lie to you. If you don't believe me, go ask another teacher. Hehe, luckily this isn't an exam, or you'll be screwed."

He no longer needed to probe further and did not dare to try again. A new thought even appeared in his mind. His wife was not a servant girl from a wealthy family. Her identity …

Li Tu suddenly did not dare to think any deeper.

"You …" Li Man stared at him in confusion. Was this kid trying to test her? That act was way too similar.

Li Tu suddenly raised his head and smiled at her. "I thought about it and felt that what you said was reasonable. I'll ask about it when I go back to school."

"Oh." Li Man heaved a sigh of relief and nodded.

"You —" After drawing for a while, Li Jun continued in a casual tone, "But our teacher has gone to the provincial capital. He won't be back for a few days."

"Oh." Hearing some noises coming from outside the window, Li Man guessed that Li Yan was working there.

"Teacher is the most learned person here. I heard that he has a lot of classmates in the capital." Li Tu quietly observed her expression. When she said the word 'capital', she did not have much of a reaction. This made him feel at ease, but it added to his confusion.

"Teacher has also been to Beijing." Seeing that she did not make any sound, Li Tu continued, "It is said that the capital city is very big and has many people. There are all kinds of things that can't be imagined in a lifetime."

"Oh?" Li Man was finally interested and asked, "Then where is your capital?"

She knew nothing about this strange place and time, not even the dynasty. Since Li Painted had started a conversation, she might as well ask around and see if she knew.

Li Tu was stunned. She didn't even know where the capital city was? However, her accent was obviously Beijing accent.
