Li Ling didn't know that he had been targeted by many people. At this time, he was taking his sister out of the city and heading towards Jiangbei County, rushing to see his sister.

Could it be that Yue'er, who came out with her brother, was naturally full of joy. Even though she was getting hot today, she was not at ease when she was sitting in the car. She stuck her head out of the window from time to time and looked around in the scorching sun. When she saw something fresh, she kept shouting: "Brother, brother, what is this...Brother, brother, what is that?"

If someone else was changed, she would naturally scold the little girl at this time so that she would not be so arrogant and would not let anyone laugh at her. But Li Ling only dotes on her sister and did not mean to blame her. Instead, she accompanied her to see the scenery and explained to her calmly that many rare things she saw on the road, such as rules and etiquette, how can it be important to make her sister happy?

It was not until he was tired that Yue'er retracted into the car, then picked up a large piece of watermelon and ate it. While eating it, she smiled with satisfaction, and exclaimed: "Brother, this melon is so sweet. Do you eat two more pieces?"

"No, you can eat it." Li Ling smiled. If his sister was born decades later, she would definitely be a qualified online melon eater. When she saw a celebrity suddenly appearing for surrogacy, she would also eat melons, and she was happy like the New Year.

Then he turned his head again, but frowned again. After two days of travel, only half of the three watermelons he bought from Fucheng were left. Originally, two of them were intended to be given to his sister and brother-in-law as a meeting gift, but now they naturally cannot be given out.

Fortunately, in addition to a few watermelons, they also bought a lot of other items before leaving, such as a few pieces of silk cloth, five boxes of pastries, two bags of candies, etc., which was not too rude. Moreover, Li Ling also brought the hundred taels of silver he had taken from his sister this time, at least it would not make her look ugly.

Speaking of these days, Li Ling was much more affordable. The salary and labor and food bank of the county yamen officials just came in a few months. With the manuscript fees for several volumes of novels, it was almost three hundred taels. Maybe it was nothing in the city, but in Jiangcheng County, the money was enough to buy a two or three-entry mansion, so it was natural to pay back the money at this time.

When the sun gradually sets westward, they finally arrived at Jiangbei County. Looking at the short city wall similar to Jiangcheng County, Yue'er unconsciously whispered: "So it's so small here too." After seeing the high walls of the city, she unconsciously brought a little pride and pride.

"You girl, you are so arrogant after just one trip to the city?" Li Ling smiled and bounced her forehead, "I'll be at my sister's house later, don't talk nonsense, it's hard for my sister to do it."

"I understand. Brother, stop playing me like this. I'm not a child anymore." Yue'er acted coquettishly and refused to support her until the carriage stopped and a few spear-holding soldiers appeared in front of her to interrogate her. She sat upright and looked like a little lady.

"Where are you from? What are you doing in Jiangbei County? Have you ever been to the place to attract you?" The soldiers looked like they were doing business, but they still spread their hands in a hidden way, but they meant to be quarrel.

Li Ling, however, just said no, took out the wooden sign in his arms and lit up in front of him: "Li Ling, a student in Xiajiangcheng County, came to Gui County to visit relatives, so I would like to ask this soldier to be kind."

The soldier originally wanted to play Qiu Feng, but when he saw the brand of scholar's fame, he immediately changed his face and took his hands back, and his face was filled with smiles: "It turns out that scholar is here, please do it." As he said that, he turned around, made a gesture of invitation, and at the same time he greeted the others in front of the door, and they all made a way out.

Li Ling smiled and said, "Thank you." After saying that, he raised his hand while taking back the wooden sign, and a string of copper coins fell steadily into the other party's arms. "I want to give you some little meaning, so I'll ask you to drink."

The soldier hurriedly took the money, and the smile on his face became more and more intense: "Thank you, Mr. Li, for the reward. I wish you the top scorer in the imperial examination and high school in the future."

However, the person in the car waved his hand outside, and had already passed through the city gate hole and slowly left. The man walked to the comrades with a happy look on his face and threw down the string of copper coins: "This young master Li is very good, much more promising than many people in our county."

"Of course, these scholars all have their eyes and foreheads on the fair day. When will they look at us directly, let alone give rewards. So some are destined to accomplish great things, while others can only be scholars for the rest of their lives, such as those from the Wei family."

After leaving the city gate a distance, Gu Gang, who was driving the car, couldn't help asking: "Young master, why did you give them money? In fact, if you have the status of a scholar, they dare not stop him." He seemed to be a little hurt for his dozens of cents.

Li Ling smiled, "It's just a few dozen cents, and it's not a loss to buy them. If these people hold grudges because of this little thing, they might have some trouble. When you go out, don't make enemies if you can make good friends. By the way, do you still remember where your sister's home was mentioned before?" The next sentence of course was told to Yue'er.

Li Yue'er only recalled her memories and replied crisply: "Of course I remember it, it is the fifth house in front of the west gate."

"Okay, this is Ximen. You can find out the specific location by asking for it." Gu Gang said with a smile, flapping the reins in his hand, and controlling the horse forward.

I don't know if it's because of the difference between horses and donkeys, or because he has practiced driving recently, this time Gu Gang sent Li Ling and his sister to Jiangbei and it was much more stable. After a while, he had already asked about the direction and found the alley that looked quite narrow from outside.

It seemed that the carriage could not be entered, so Li Ling asked Gu Gang to guard it outside. He and his sister took a few gifts and walked into the narrow alleyway. Soon they arrived at the fifth house. The gate and the courtyard wall looked a little dilapidated, not much better than the old yard in Jiangcheng.

"Bababababa..." After knocking on the door knocker a few times, there was a movement inside, and a woman's voice sounded: "Come here..." Without asking who was outside, she opened the yard gate directly. Then when she saw two strangers standing there, the woman in her forties was stunned: "Are you?"

Li Ling bowed his fists and said, "Is this Wei Cheng and Wei Born's family?" He mentioned his brother-in-law's name. It is said that his brother-in-law was also a famous talent in Jiangbei County. He was young and passed the exam at the age of 18. He was considered to be a high-level scholar in the Li family at that time.

Because the Wei family is a famous family in Jiangbei County, its status is not below the ten thousand families in the city. It was previously commended by a high-ranking official in the court, calling him a family of rituals and honored throughout Hengzhou. Of course, there is still some difference between Wei Cheng and the Wei family of the great clan, and it can only be regarded as a side branch, but it can also be related to it.

The woman was stunned for a moment before nodding, “It’s... it’s. What’s the young master?”

"In Xiajiang City, Li Le'er is his sister." Li Ling then realized his identity.

The woman laughed when she heard this: "It turns out that the wife's brothers are here. Come in quickly. I'll let you inform the wife." While letting the two brothers and sisters enter, she turned around and called a servant who was leaning over here and asked him to report the matter to the backyard.

The man was also slightly stunned, and then looked at Li Ling with a glance, then hurried to the backyard under urging. Li Ling, who felt a little strange, did not ask questions on the spot, but just followed the other party to the living room to sit down. The woman then went to arrange some refreshments.

Li Ling looked at the courtyard hall here with his eyes. Although the entrance of the yard is not big, it is quite invisible inside, and there are two courtyards in front and back. However, the furniture in this hall looks too dilapidated, and he always feels that the hall is a little empty, as if there are many things missing.

Yue'er was very well-behaved at this time, not yelling like on the road, with her eyes sweeping left and right, and she looked out from time to time, obviously looking forward to her sister coming out. After a while, she couldn't help but whisper: "Brother, why is it empty here? I haven't seen many people, so deserted. Also, I haven't seen Uncle Tong."

"Well, it's a bit weird, but that's the matter of my brother-in-law's family. Don't talk nonsense at that time."

"Yeah." Yue'er asked him to raise his head and nodded vigorously. As soon as he wanted to say something, his body suddenly shook and he stood up. Li Ling also looked out of the hall at the same time, and saw a simple and elegant woman walking quickly towards this side.

Although he had a very weak impression of his sister in his memory, he could confirm that the woman who rushed over was his sister Li Le'er with just one glance!

Li Ling also stood up at this moment, went out with Yue'er, and then said in unison: "Sister..."

Li Le'er walked two steps to the front of the hall, her face full of surprises, but her eyes were already a little red: "Brother Ling, Yue'er...you, why are you thinking about coming to Jiangbei?"

"Sister, I miss you so much..." Yue'er screamed and rushed into her sister's arms. Li Ling also followed her forward and looked at the strange and slightly familiar woman: "Sister, of course we came because we miss you. After all, we are hard to give up family affection. Moreover, you have always been thinking about us, so you specially asked Uncle Tong to give me money?"

Having said this, Li Ling's eyes suddenly froze, but he found that his sister was trembling slightly while being hugged by Yue'er, and her expression on her face also twisted, as if she was stinging somewhere. But soon, she forced herself to hold back again, and just gently gave her sister out and smiled, "Yue'er is still the same, but Brother Ling, you are much more mature than before."
