Chapter 506: Something's Fishy!

hat does it mean to be framed by a villain What exactly happened back then"Wang Yuanwai took a few deep breaths, cried his heart out, and felt much better afterwards.He pulled his younger brother deep...Zhao Yuru and Tao Hongying both went to the canteen to help, her house was empty, but those two amulets were placed on the table, apparently intended to be given directly to Jiaren and Li Ge'er tonight.

Jia Yin climbed onto a chair, grabbed the sign, and sat at the table. She scrutinized it carefully but couldn't figure out what was wrong...

But she just felt that the brand was off, or rather, that little merchant was off.

It seemed like he was just setting up a stall to sell his brand name to the Li family, and kept emphasizing that candidates should wear it...

Once it sold out, the stall closed immediately, and they even moved.

This is typical of someone who's guilty, trying to hide and disappear!

Li Laotai was outside, and when she didn't see her granddaughter, she called out.

Jia Yin could only stuff the sign into her pocket and then ran out.

After most of the afternoon, school let out.

Jia Yi and Liu Yang, along with Jia Ren, returned chatting and laughing. The small courtyard immediately became lively.

Jiahuan and Jixi's first thing was to lean over the well and look. Sure enough, they found a bucket hanging in the well water. They cheered and pulled at the rope.

It’s a pity the barrel was too heavy, but Jia Yi stepped forward and pulled it up in just a few moves.

Needless to say, he immediately reaped the endless adoration of his younger brothers.

Two jade gourds were soaking in the wooden bucket, along with a dozen or so golden fruits.

Meow Meow immediately ran to close the courtyard gate, just as Wen Juan and Grandma He had returned.

Thus, the whole family "secretly" ate a jade melon each. It was sweet, refreshing, and cooling, satisfying everyone young and old.

Seeing that the boys were still hungry after their meal, Old Mrs. Li gave them some of her golden fruits as well. Only one jade melon remained, which she was saving for her son and daughter-in-law to enjoy with her when they returned in the evening.

Jia Yin took advantage of the bustling moment and sat beside Li Ge'er.

Brother Li was careful, picking out all the melon seeds from the jade-green gourd before handing it to his younger sister.

Jia Yin giggled and took a large bite, then asked: "Brother, are there any annoying classmates in your dorm"

"Yes, there is," Li Ge'er thought his sister was just curious and casually replied: "We have a classmate in our school who particularly likes to take advantage of others. He never grinds ink; whenever he wants to write, he just takes his pen and dips it into our inkstones."

"Last time his pen fell and stained my long shirt, and no one in our dorm wants to sit next to him!"

"There are people like that, how will he take the exam if he uses other people's answers!" Jiayin giggled, shaking her little head and taking big bites of watermelon.

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

When Li Ge saw that his younger sister had eaten half of it, he swapped the remaining half with her. This allowed his sister to continue eating the melon heart, while he finished off her leftover half in a few bites.

In the end, he wiped his mouth and replied, “During the exam, of course, he ground his own ink. But it is said that his ink brick has already been used for two years, and there is half left, so at the very least, it can be used for another two years!”

"Haha, that's so stingy!" Jia Yin laughed out loud, she didn't expect there were such students in the academy.

This is way worse than those classmates in my old university dorm who used to borrow shampoo and body wash.

"Brother Li was also laughing hard, 'Before, I was still thinking about what my father said, to be kind to classmates. Later, I didn't care about him anymore. I was kind to him, but he took me for a pushover!'"

"And are there any like them in your big brother's school, who are also disliked by everyone" Jia Yin asked again.

"Yes, big brother. Those two guys sitting in the back row always stare at me whenever I come to see you."

"Some senior students who got along well with my elder brother told me that the two of them were "donkey dung eggs!" I don't know what it means, but it's probably something like they appear shiny on the surface but are actually incompetent inside"

Perhaps Li Ge'er was afraid his younger sister would learn bad things, so he quickly changed the subject: "Grandma said you've been learning manners and needlework at home lately. Are you tired"

He looked at his younger sister's white and tender fingers, seeing no needle pricks, and then he felt relieved. He said again, "When I grow up and become an official to earn silver, I will find a skilled embroiderer to make clothes for you. You just need to learn the basics now and do it as a practice, understand"

Jia Yin took a big bite of watermelon, it was even sweeter than eating honey. She nodded her little head excitedly, "Mmm, I'll listen to my brother!"

Li Ge'er also smiled, the young boy was a little shy, but even more handsome.

As dusk fell, Old Madam Li treated her grandchildren to a seafood feast, filling their bellies. She had just shooed them back to the academy when Li Lao San, Zhao Yu Ru, and Tao Hong Ying returned.

Three people sat under the eaves, and Li Laotai had already prepared to open the Binyue melon. She divided it among He Mamu, Shui Ling, Shui Yun, Xiaoyue, Ye Shan, and Dongmei.

Lao Li asked Wenjuan, how were things at the two homes of Madam Quanfu

Wenjuan smiled and told it in detail...

When the bed was first made, the Li family had already sent generous gifts. Now that Wenjuan has also sent such rare seafood, both ladies are naturally delighted.

They all kept Wenjuan for tea and a chat, they wouldn't have let her go if it wasn't for the end of classes at the academy!

Jia Yin heard their lively conversation and moved a small stool to sit beside San Bo.

Li Laosan shifted slightly to the side, not wanting his body odor to bother his young niece. Then, smiling, he asked, “Funiuer, what did you play at home today”

"Look at this!" Jia Yin took out the two cards and handed them to San Bo, saying, "San Bo, these cards seem a bit off somewhere, but I can't find what's wrong. Can you help me find it"

"Alright, Uncle Three, take a look." Li Laosan didn't mind and took the token. After fiddling with it for a while, he was also surprised and asked, "Where did this token come from The craftsmanship is really exquisite. It should be two pieces of wood pieced together, but I can't find the seam."

Jia Yin's eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, "Third Uncle must be found. If not, we'll just break it open! I want to see what's inside."

Li Lao San rubbed his little niece's hair and immediately went to get his tools.

My niece isn't trying to pick stars and the moon, it's just a brand. If she wants to open it up and take a look, let her.

But when he got his tools, things escalated quickly, attracting the attention of Old Lady Li and everyone else.

Tao Hongying said, “What mischief has Fu Niuer gotten into again Your third aunt bought you talismans, and she hasn't even given them to your brothers yet, how could you cause trouble already!”

Just as Jia Yin was about to speak, Li Lao San stabbed a part of the sign with his blade, and the sign suddenly exploded.

Li Laosan was also startled, his card flew out of his hand, and two wooden pieces and a thin piece of paper fell down.

Jia Yin's eyes were sharp and she quickly picked up the paper. When she opened it, her face changed color.

The note was meticulously penned in small, cramped script.

This is an amulet for good luck on exams, carved from wood. It is permitted to be brought into the exam room.

Had she not discovered the mystery here today, her two brothers would also be unaware, and upon being exposed at the examination hall for this article...

Li Laosan hadn't reacted yet, took two wooden pieces and put them back together, exclaiming: "The person who carved this signboard is truly skilled. I was also lucky. I probed it lightly, otherwise, I couldn't have opened it!"e him!""Yes, isn't this eldest son the one you and your sweetheart had together""Yes, yes, aren't there always such stories in plays What about beating mandarin ducks apart, not being able to take a c...
