like monkeys tied up. 。Jiao Yin held a fruit and munched on it, looking here and there, stirring things up, causing her brothers to clamor and shout even more. 。Finally, Tao Hongying heard the commo...Who doesn't love flowers!

Even if you don't plan on cultivating them, the patience to touch those waters and mud is unnecessary. But simply gazing at the vibrant and colorful flower clusters can lift your spirits!

As one pot after another of flowers was carried into the Hundred Flower Garden, many people were overjoyed because some of them were famous varieties.

Hearing that Bai Huayuan belonged to the Li family and would be used exclusively for “flower appreciation” from now on, everyone was delighted!

Previously, the famous flowers of the fairy orchid were only visible to those who had booked private meals.

Others could only hear about how rare and beautiful the famous flower was, but they could only feel a twinge of longing without ever seeing it.

Now that there's a dedicated place to admire flowers, people have one more great spot to visit!

While the four members of the Cao family had been anxious about their empty yard before, now facing a courtyard overflowing with belongings, they felt a knot of dread in their stomachs.

It's rare to see Jade Ball flowers blooming so frequently, but here are over a dozen pots clustered together, with petals falling from each one!

The leaves of the orchids are wide, as large as a palm. They are all about to bloom, and yet dozens of them are stacked together, performing acrobatics!

The camellia blooms were in full splendor, their corollas as large as a person could embrace, yet they were planted in flowerpots the size of a palm. It seemed as if they could all hear the camellia's sorrowful cries!

And that pot of sedum, was actually drenched by the water jet...again!

"Uncle!" Old Cao couldn't bear it anymore, he ran over and snatched the water flask from Li Lao Er's hands.

His eyes were red, and he tucked the chrysanthemum leaves tightly behind him. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "Master, this is a chrysanthemum! You can't water it! This flower is drought-tolerant, just don't water it unless the leaves turn yellow, otherwise it will rot!"

Li Lao'er blinked his eyes a few times, smiling awkwardly and sheepishly, "That, I just saw it cracked all over, so I..."

"Master, please don't bother, quickly go have some tea, these flowers, let this old slave handle them, I will arrange them!"

Old Man Cao flung his arms wide, wishing he could gather all the flowers into his embrace and shield them from the harm of their new owner!

Li Lao Tai and Tao Hongying and a few others were originally standing in the flowerpots, admiring the flowers and chatting. They were all smiling uncontrollably.

Do they still remember the flower that Li Laoer had killed before

Then, Old Li spoke up: "Second son, let's go inside and have some tea. Let this place to Old Cao and his family. Like raising flowers and planting crops, it takes seven or eight years of experience to do it well. If we can't help them, just leave them alone and don't cause trouble."

Upon hearing this from Old Li, Old Cao's face flushed red, and his arm dropped, looking very frightened.

He was momentarily caught up in his infatuation and couldn't help but be rude to the host.

These flowers all belong to the master of this house. Even if the master wanted to uproot them and throw them away, no one else has the right to say anything about it.

But he... just couldn't bear to, flowers are raised with the life of the planter!

He hurriedly tried to kneel, but Li Laer lifted him up and comforted him: "Uncle Cao, I'm really not good at raising flowers, but I do like raising them. Maybe I'll have to ask you for more advice in the future!"

"These flowers, you tidy them up first. When you have free time later, you can teach me more."

"Ah, yes, yes! Rest assured, master, I will take good care of all these flowers." Old Man Cao was so excited that he could barely contain himself. Such a generous and understanding master was truly rare.

No wonder the host was able to bring back so many good flowers.

In the eyes of flower lovers, good flowers have souls and choose their owners themselves.

For example, orchids. A vile person might buy an orchid. Even if they meticulously care for it, it will refuse to bloom again.

This is also a small reason why literati and poets like orchids.

Because the orchids at home bloom so well, it’s not just that they take care of them, but it also proves that their character is noble.

This is a kind of invisible bragging and showing off!

Li Laotai said she was going inside to drink tea, but in reality, she couldn't sit still. She turned her head and took her daughter-in-law, granddaughter, along with the maidservant, to the kitchen to make dumplings.

They were working with laughter and merriment, it was very lively.

And the Cao family of four were also busy as fire, sometimes dancing with joy because they encountered beautiful flowers.

Only Li Lao Er stood under the eaves, holding a teacup, suddenly feeling a loneliness like being abandoned by the whole world.

But there's no way around it, whoever said he hadn't learned to take care of flowers yet earned the reputation of being a ruthless flower destroyer...

Three days passed in a flash, and the Hundred Flower Garden was completely arranged. The fragrance of flowers was everywhere, with all kinds of colorful blooms, making people smile as soon as they stepped through the gate.

The Cao family was like they'd been injected with chicken blood, especially Old Man Cao, who would get up in the middle of the night to check on the flower, afraid the dew would be too heavy and damage his precious bloom.

During the day, he would remember which pots needed sunshine and which flowers preferred shade. He'd move them around, tending to them with great enthusiasm.

The Li family lived in the "Garden" for several days, and were so happy they forgot to return home.

But I have to go out today, because Jiarren and Li Ge'er finished their exams and are going out of the exam hall!

Li Zhensheng, Li Laosan, and Mr. Wen waited again at the entrance of the Gongyuan. This time, even Jiahuan, Jiayi, and Liu Yang came.

A crowd gathered, craning their necks and stretching to peer inside.

Finally, the big gate of Gongyuan opened, but what came out first were several stretchers.

The students on the stretcher were pale and lifeless, causing everyone to worry.

Given the sweltering heat, hundreds of people confined to a single courtyard, where they eat, drink, use the restroom, and even have to exert their mental energy for exams – this is truly a double test for both body and mind.

If your health isn't good, then you'll hold everyone back.

To prevent cheating, the Gonghui's gate would be closed once it was shut for the day. It wouldn't be opened in advance except for emergencies like fire or earthquake!

So, even if these students fell, they would only have the doctor in charge inside treating them briefly.

I can guarantee they won't die, but it's impossible to have them served delicious food and drink. Ultimately, whether or not they survive depends on luck!

To sum up, the imperial examination system requires not only talent and physical stamina but also luck; all three are indispensable.

The family members of the student who fell ill rushed forward, crying as they escorted him out. After that, the students who had successfully completed the exam came out.

Jia Ren and Li Ge'er, brothers, supported each other as they were jostled by the crowd. They looked around frantically and when they saw their family, both of them welled up with tears.

This is an exam, not a battlefield, but after being confined for three days and enduring hardship, they couldn't help but feel wronged.

Zheng Feng and Zheng He rushed in, each carrying one on their backs and running outside.

The Li family's carriage was already packed and ready.

As soon as the family and Li Ge got in the car, they closed the door.

Jia Huan and Jia Yi helped, taking off their brothers' clothes and socks, and changing them into clean and refreshing ones. They also wiped their hands and faces two or three times.

Lastly, they were each handed a glass of iced passion fruit honey drink.

Cool and sweet, it slides from your mouth straight to your stomach.

The long-lost taste finally brought Jia Ren and Li Ge'er back to life.

By the time they got off the bus, the two boys had regained about five or six points of energy.

The family members finally felt relieved and didn't say much.

Mr. Li Lao Er and Mr. Wen brought two young boys to ask Dr. Zhou for leave, staying in the city for a while. After looking at the list, they would return to the village to rest.

The dean naturally agreed. After all, there were five days of vacation after the exam, which was a custom of the academy.

Li Lao'er knows how to treat people. He sent a large barrel of iced fruit drinks to the academy, causing the students who had just finished their exams to cheer with delight! stairs, were clutching their stomachs and screaming incessantly."They killed someone, the Li family killed someone!""Harboring escaped slaves and even killing people, there is truly no law left!"Uncl...
