The Li family had a whole nest of boys, and finally, a girl was born! Unfortunately, it was during an escape from famine...
Old Lady Li: What do we do? My precious treasure has no milk to dri...
Lu Zong and Jia Xu saw it all, but it was just a joke.
Lu Zong said, "Brother Jiaren, you're so good to your junior brother, we all want to become your junior brothers!"
Zhimin and Xiujie also have their own horses and want to join in the fun by racing with Maoge'er and Guo Wenhao.
What was happening to them was a lively and joyous occasion, which others envied, but Liu Kui and Wang Sheng were so jealous that their hearts were about to explode!
Wang Sheng, in particular, was filled with hatred as he watched Mr. Mo Mei and the others glancing at the Li brothers from time to time.
Then he suddenly stood up and shouted, "I'm not convinced! I challenge them to a tiebreaker!"
The garden was silent for a moment, then immediately became lively again.
Some people think Wang Sheng is overestimating himself, some think he's a clown, and some just want to see the drama unfold...
Mr. Mei and the others exchanged glances but made no attempt to stop them.
After all, the guests in the room were all young people, and what they had in abundance was arrogance.
You disagree?
Let's have a competition then, there's no need for them to put on a show.
"Alright, tell me who you want to challenge? And what's the prize?" Mr. Mo Mei stroked his beard and asked.
Wang Sheng's triangular eyes swept over the Li family members, and in a moment of quick thinking, he came up with a plan.
"I want to challenge the Li family, and the prize is my family's shop."
"If the Li family wins, my family's general store on the commercial street will go to them. But if I win, the Li family will have to give me Baiyunjian!"
Li Ge'er sneered and retorted, "Did Brother Wang go out without fully waking up and forget to bring his brain?"
"How much is your grocery store worth? It's probably worth five grocery stores in Baiyunjian."
"If you want a tiebreaker, at least offer something of equal value. You're just trying to fool kids with a shabby stall!"
“You…” Wang Sheng’s face flushed red.
He was indeed trying to provoke them, thinking that if the Li brothers agreed, it wouldn't matter if he lost, but if he won, he would gain a huge advantage.
Unexpectedly, the Li brothers were not easily fooled and immediately saw through his plan.
At this moment, Mr. Mo Mei also said, "The stakes are indeed unequal. If the Wang family cannot produce an industry comparable to Baiyunjian, then there is no need for the competition."
The crowd sneered, which made Wang Sheng's face turn dark.
He grabbed Liu Kui and shouted, "Liu Kui's shop is right next to my general store. The two shops together are enough to rival Baiyunjian, right?"
Liu Kui was so shocked that his eyes widened, and he was about to retort immediately.
His shop was an embroidery shop, two stories high, with a spacious courtyard in the back. It was much more valuable than Wang Sheng's general store.
Moreover, the shop was run by his father and was not registered in his name at all.
If he gambles it all away, his father will definitely kill him!
Before he could speak, Wang Sheng lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry, I have a plan, we'll definitely win the game!"
Liu Kui was still hesitating, but Cat Brother across from him was delighted and said to his brothers, "Didn't our little sister want to open a fresh food shop?"
"We haven't been able to find a good location on the commercial street, but if we win these two shops, we can give them to my sister!"
Li Ge'er was also tempted, but Jia Ren frowned and said, "Wang Sheng proposed the competition and offered such a heavy prize, so he must have something to rely on."
"Baiyunjian is my sister's culmination of years of hard work, and the head of the household is still that person in the palace. We can't take any risks."
"Ah... so we can't compete?" Cat Bro was a little disappointed.
He hadn't paid attention to the Wang family's general store, but he had occasionally patronized the Liu Kui family's embroidery shop.
If I can win it, I'll give it to my younger sister; she'll be so happy...
After thinking for a moment, Li Ge'er said, "Brother, why don't we use the immortal guest as a prize? If my father knew, he certainly wouldn't stop us."
"Even if we lose, we can give the cyclamen to them, but the chefs, staff, and recipes inside will still be ours. We can find a new place to open and do business as usual."
Jiaren recalled how pitiful his younger sister looked when he left. He thought that if he brought her a generous gift back, she would be very happy.
So he nodded, “If we lose the sage, I will personally apologize to my uncle and make up the difference.”
"No, big brother, Cat Brother and I will take care of it." Li Ge'er quickly shook his head.
Lu Zong, standing to the side, laughed and said, "You brothers are really boosting the morale of others while diminishing your own."
"That idiot Wang Sheng can't beat any of you no matter which one he chooses as his opponent!"
Everyone laughed when they heard this reasoning.
Jiaren walked to the center of the field to express his thoughts.
The Emperor is the owner of Baiyunjian, a fact known to everyone in Xindu. Using Baiyunjian as a prize is indeed inappropriate.
Although Wang Sheng felt it was a pity, he didn't have the courage to persist.
Most importantly, Cyclamen is also good; it's thriving, has a good location, and is a real money-maker.
Jiaren suggested putting the competition in writing, with the stakes clearly stated, and having everyone sign and seal it, so that the loser wouldn't have a chance to renege on their debt.
Mr. Mo Mei and a few others joined in the fun and also signed as witnesses.
Wang Sheng signed the document without hesitation, while Liu Kui, with no other choice, signed as well, his heart pounding in his chest.
Fortunately, Wang Sheng quickly spoke up and asked, "I am only one person, but there are so many members of the Li family. So, it's not unreasonable for me to choose my opponent, is it?"
Everyone nodded in agreement; indeed, there was no reason for a group to fight against one person.
Li Ge and Mao Ge nodded in agreement. Jia Ren noticed Wang Sheng's smug expression, as if his scheme had succeeded, and his heart skipped a beat. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Sheng impatiently pointed behind them and shouted, "I choose him!"
Standing behind the three Jiaren brothers were Zheng Liu, Zheng Qi, and Gu Li, who had come to watch the excitement.
Gu Li's feet were a little cold, and he happened to take a step forward, which was then pointed at by Wang Sheng's finger from a distance.
He was somewhat surprised, but he still went out and bowed to everyone, saying, "I am the steward of the Li family. I only know a few characters and cannot compose poetry."
Silence reigned both inside and outside the pavilion; everyone was stunned by Wang Sheng's shamelessness.
Gu Li is often out and about, so his skin is tanned. Although his gray jacket and trousers are clean and tidy, he has thick eyebrows and big eyes, and his appearance is quite good.
But with his head slightly bowed and his manner respectful, he looked every bit the honest, diligent, and loyal servant!
Even if someone manages to get into a managerial position, they might be intelligent.
But when it comes to writing poetry, he can never compare to Wang Sheng, who was well-versed in poetry and literature!
Wang Sheng bypassed the three Jia Ren brothers and chose the Li family's servants; he was practically guaranteed to win!
Cat Bro immediately exploded and shouted, "Wang Sheng, have you no shame?"
"The three of us brothers are competing against you. What's the meaning of you picking on our family steward?!"
Wang Sheng sneered, "The document only states that I will fight one of your Li family members, but it doesn't say that all three of you brothers must fight. Isn't this person in charge a member of your Li family?"
Wang Sheng originally chose Zheng Qi because Zheng Qi was thin and looked around aimlessly, making him the least like a scholar.
To his surprise, it was Gu Li who stepped forward, disrupting his plans.
But Gu Li was in charge and frankly admitted that he only knew a few characters, so there was no need to replace him.
He'll win easily no matter what!
Mr. Mo Mei and his colleagues carefully examined the document and found that it did not specify that the person must be one of the three Li Jiaren brothers.
They all frowned.
Are the Li family just going to suffer this injustice in silence?
Could it be that Wang Sheng, that despicable man, has really succeeded?
Served at midnight~~~
