Chapter 661: Details Determine Success or Failure

giggle at his appearance. In the end, they pulled Li Laoer aside to inquire about it in detail.Li Lao Er didn't know much either, he could only say: "This afternoon, I was supposed to have dinner wit...Jia Ren thought about it and didn't refuse. He said, "Our family dotes on our younger sister. Whether it's our father, the village bodyguard head, or even the marquis, they have all told her many stories of the martial world."

So, this time knowing we were going out, my younger sister summarized it all in this little booklet. 。It's just a few interesting anecdotes, meant to warn us about the dangers of hypocrisy in the world. 。“If you want to see, you can, but don't spread it! My younger sister, though young, is also a girl. Her reputation is important.” 。"Well, Brother Li, please rest assured that we will definitely not spread it." 。Lu Zonghe and Jia Xu immediately assured 。Having received his elder brother's agreement, Meow-ge couldn't contain his excitement and decided to show off. He took out the book he always carried with him and began sharing it with the two of them. 。Jia Ren walked a few circles in the house with his hands behind his back, but he still felt that today's matter wouldn't end so simply. 。He wanted to bring his younger brothers back to the fleet, but he was afraid of bringing trouble with them. 。Moreover, it's rare for me to get the chance to live independently with my brothers. I don't want this precious experience to end abruptly out of fear. 。But he didn't tell his uncle, in case these bad guys really got to him and he suffered heavy losses. There would be no way to make up for it then. 。Hesitantly, he asked Li Ge'er two questions. 。Li Ge is usually gentle and polite, with a harmless smile. But at this crucial moment, he's surprisingly reliable. 。

It can be seen that there is also a bit of ruthlessness in his temperament.

At this point, even Jiaren's subconscious no longer treated him as a child. 。As expected, upon hearing his elder brother's inquiry, Li Ge cast his gaze towards Lu Zong and whispered, "Brother, the six of us each brought weapons. We are not afraid—" 。But for safety's sake, it's still best to find a few helpers. 。“ Jia Ren understood, and taking advantage of Mao Ge'er’s temporary break as the storyteller to drink water, he asked Lu Zong, "Lu Xiong, do you have anyone secretly following you" Lu Zong was startled, a hint of surprise in his eyes, but he still truthfully said, “There should be four bodyguards, but they will only act when I'm in danger." 。"Can you help us secretly send messages Don't let anyone follow you, just deliver the letters back to the fleet. Can you do that" Jiaren pressed. 。"Yes, this is easy" 。Lu Cong nodded. 。Jia Ren quickly wrote a letter and handed it to Lu Cong, "Please ask your people to check if anyone is tailing us outside. Then quietly send this letter to my uncle." 。Lu Cong stood up and walked to the room opposite. 。 Half an hour later, Lu's servant brought over a piece of paper and said, "Young Master, the ship fleet has replied, and indeed someone is watching outside." 。Lu Zong frowned, without looking at the note, he directly handed it to Jia Ren. 。Jiārén unfolded it and saw that it was his uncle's handwriting. It only had six characters: "Rest assured, be safe." 。Having made up his mind, Jia Ren told Zheng Liu and Zheng Qi to go downstairs and prepare the meal. 。After a good meal and drink, we can face the next challenge of the evening!As night fell, it should have been eerily quiet. But tonight, because of the dragon boat race, both sides of the river were bustling with people, exceptionally lively. 。There were vendors selling snacks carrying lanterns, and those selling river lanterns for festivity, everything you could imagine. 。Jiārén and others gathered by the window, able to take in the entire spectacle without leaving the house. 。Li Ge'er then laughed and said, "It's really worth spending the silver. Standing high and seeing far, you don't even need to go down and be squeezed into a sweat." 。“ Although Cat Brother still wanted to join in the fun, after what happened before, he was even more looking forward to another exciting event. So, he took a piece of pastry and sat by the window, eating it while complaining. ” 。"How did you eat all the spiced peanuts on the way At this time, it's even more interesting to crack nuts and watch the excitement." 。“

Jiaren tapped his younger brother, “Do you still have the face to say that You ate the most on the road.”

" Meow Ge'er giggled and feigned ignorance. Sailing was boring, he was still young, and his brothers didn't want him to work. 。So, for most of the time, he would just sit on the edge of the boat, staring out at the scenery on both sides in a daze. 。Of course, his mouth was never still. He nibbled and munched, and the box of snacks his sister had brought them disappeared completely. 。Lu Zong and Jia Xu took a look and then stopped. They had something on their minds and couldn't let go of everything to enjoy it fully. 。Then, the two of them retreated to the back and silently recited the martial arts safety handbook. 。There are some truths in the manual, and they understand them. They've even heard their family members repeatedly remind them of these things. 。But when it's written in black and white like this, it's easy to memorize and fun, so they are even more willing to learn more and imprint it in their minds. 。From then on, when encountering a trap like the daylight again, I will not be treated as "pie" anymore. 。Jia Ren took a look for a while, then came over to pour tea. Lu Cong couldn't help but ask him, "Li Brother, how did you discover that those people were not right And that woman, we really didn't find anything suspicious" 。" A faint smile touched Jia Ren's lips, "Details determine success or failure! When encountering things, don't panic. Observe calmly, and you'll discover many differences." 。For example, that old man, he bent over, but didn't use a cane. 。He pretended to be a scholar, but his wrists showed no calluses from writing. 。Lu Zong and Jia Xu were both surprised. They originally thought that Jia Ren had already exposed many flaws when he spoke in public earlier, but they didn't expect there to be more details. 。Jia Xu couldn't help but ask, "What about the woman with the basket"Jia Ren took a sip of tea and said, "That woman didn't have many flaws, but she accused us as soon as she came up. She didn't seem to be there just for the excitement." 。And she was well-dressed, but her basket only contained a bunch of scallions. 。"Hairy greens are the cheapest vegetable here. They were being hawked at the market just now, five bundles for a single copper coin, and she only has one bundle. Where did it come from She probably just picked it up casually and put it in, making a show of it!"

These are all guesses, but it's hard to say they make sense. It's definitely worth suspecting..." 。Jia Xu blinked twice, swallowed hard, and asked in a dry voice, "We've only walked half the market and had some shrimp cakes, and you already know the price of vegetables here That's too amazing!" 。"

Jia Ren didn't think there was anything remarkable about it. He replied, "We're here to train, not sightsee. Our focus is on the grain and commodity prices in each state, province, and town. Then comes understanding the local customs and people."

From now on, whenever there's an exam and the questions involve daily life, make sure your essays are well-written and insightful. 。After all, the imperial court's selection of talent was for the benefit of the people, not for composing more beautiful poems and praising the beauty of Tianwu scenery. 。Lu Cong and Jia Xu looked at each other, as if struck by lightning. Suddenly, they felt that their journey had been a waste of time. 。What's truly meant by the term "曆練" is just as Jia Ren said!Lu Zong and Jia Xu both rose to their feet, solemnly thanking Li.Jia Ren quickly waved his hand, gesturing for them to sit down, and with a smile, said: "We were just chatting casually, nothing to be thanked for." 。"In life, everyone has their own pursuits." 。My seven brothers and I, as the eldest, want to support our family. Taking the imperial exams is a must for me. 。Therefore, I place more importance on matters concerning the people's livelihood. 。But you don't have that kind of pressure. It's not a bad thing to enjoy the scenery on the road. 。Three people chatted over tea, occasionally hearing Li Ge'er and Mao Ge'er cheering loudly by the window for the dragon boat race below. Then, they also laughed and went forward to join in the fun. 。The dragon boat race lasted until the moon was high in the sky before it finally ended. As people gradually dispersed, the streets became eerily quiet. 。Jiarren closed the window and allocated rooms to sleep. 。A young man diligently carried a bucket of hot water upstairs and knocked on each door, asking if anyone needed it for washing their feet. 。Everyone said they were too tired and went to sleep directly, so the young man went down. 。Actually, the young man didn't know that as soon as he left his room, the other three people had gathered in the room with the river view. 。 Jia Xu was a little nervous and asked, "Brother Li, are you sure those villains will definitely come tonight, and that they will enter this room first" Three more to be served ~~~t miss me yet, so I'll just take a boat to pick you up!"Silly girl!" Li Lao Tai rolled over and hugged her granddaughter.Even seeing her granddaughter's amazing self-defense skills with her own eyes,...
