"Oh, this young Master Jing is the treasure of the Wan Mansion. When Master Wan and his wife were young, they only had one daughter and planned to find a son-in-law for her. If our prefect had not passed the imperial examination and become a Jinshi, he might have had to marry into the family.

But our prefect is very capable, not only passing the imperial examination but also becoming an official, so he cannot marry into the family. While Mr. and Mrs. Wan are happy for their daughter and son-in-law, they are also troubled. Their only son-in-law cannot marry into the family, and they have no other children. In the future, will they really have to find a branch of the same clan to inherit their huge fortune?

In the same year, after Mr. Wan brought Madam Wan back from the ancestral home to worship their ancestors, he found out that Madam Wan was pregnant. It was lucky for the Wan family, because the following year, Madam Wan gave birth to a son.

The only child of the Wan family is Wan Jingming, Young Master Jing.

Because Mrs. Wan became pregnant after the ancestor worship, Mr. Wan thought it was a manifestation of the ancestor's spirit, so he not only expanded the ancestral tomb, but also came back every year to worship the ancestors. "

Li Yuer suddenly had an idea and asked, "What does Young Master Jing like?"

If you want to get close to someone, you must first understand their preferences.

"Everyone in the town knows this!" Jia Que'er said excitedly, "Young Master Jing loves rare treasures the most. No matter who you are, if you can find something rare that Young Master Jing is interested in, you will be rewarded by the Wan family. The Wan family is very generous in selling. Last year, someone caught a very, very powerful cricket named Tie Jiangjun, which caught Young Master Jing's eye and was directly rewarded with ten taels of silver."

If this is true, then there is a way! Li Yuer's thoughts became active.

She has rare treasures, but she is reluctant to give them away. She has many things that can attract children.

Li Yuer also found out that each time the villains escorted people to the mine, there were only three days left before the next escort. Time was tight, and the plan had to be arranged quickly.

Li Laosan's mood had calmed down a lot by now. He looked at Li Yu'er, who was not even as tall as his chest, and felt guilty. He said, "Yu Bao'er, I'm sorry. I was too impulsive and almost hurt my whole family."

Li Yuer did not comfort him, as comfort would only encourage his misconception. Instead, she said, "Uncle San, we are not alone. If you want to travel around today, just pack your bags and go. If you want to see injustice tomorrow, just rush up and confront the evildoers without caring about your family's lives. We all have our household registrations registered with the government, so the monk can run away, but the temple cannot."

Li Laosan was silent.

Li Yuer did not continue. There are some things that the parties involved must figure out by themselves. Too much admonition will only have a counterproductive effect, especially for boys in their rebellious adolescence. The more you control them, the worse they will get.

You have to let him experience it himself, fall down, and feel the pain, before he can repent.

While his family wasn't paying attention, Li Yu'er took a bag of black flour and a bag of dried salted fish from the kitchen shed and stuffed them into Jia Que'er's hands.

Jia Que'er didn't dare to accept it. She looked at Li Laosan, and when she saw him nod, she kept thanking him, calling him "Sister Xiao Yu'er", and said a lot of nice things before leaving.

But Li Yuer only said: "Things are not given for free, you have to do things for me."

Jia Que'er was stunned for a moment, then quickly said, "Sister Xiao Yu'er, if you need anything, just tell me. I will definitely get it done even if I don't give you anything."

Li Yuer shook his head and said, "Brothers should settle accounts clearly. You work for me, and then I give you food. This is called giving and taking."

"Where there is give, there is take?" Li Laosan repeated in a low voice and fell into deep thought.

Li Yuer said, "In the past few days, you have helped me keep a close eye on the Wan Mansion, especially the whereabouts of Young Master Jing."

Jia Queer repeatedly assured that it would be done, and then left.

Li Yu'er was willing to help them, of course not for nothing. Apart from being worried that Third Uncle might act impulsively and bring trouble to the Li family, she also valued Jia Que'er and the others.

Although they are just gangsters and beggars, they have been in society since childhood and are accustomed to the ways of the world. They are very tactful, able to endure hardships, and good at gathering information.

If these people have good character, Li Yuer plans to train them to become shop assistants in the future, as he knows the ins and outs of people he is used to working for.

They are in distress now, and if she can help them at this time, they will definitely be grateful. Of course, there are people in this world who repay kindness with enmity, but she is not afraid. If she really meets such a person, she also has the means to subdue him.

No investment is risk-free, and the same goes for people.

Li Yuer planned to make some novel toys that children would like. She knew that there were no kites in that era, so she planned to make kites.

The kite can fly, and it will definitely attract Young Master Jing's attention.

A day later, Li Laosan and Li Yuer each found an excuse to sneak out of the house.

They came to the land temple in the north of the city and reunited with the house sparrow.

Then they came to the alley near Wanfu, which was the location that Jia Queer had chosen in advance.

It is only separated by a wall from the courtyard where Young Master Jing lives.

There was some wind today, but not strong enough for the kite to fly.

There are mostly northwest winds along the coast in winter, and the kite flew southeast, just above Young Master Jing's yard.

Early in the morning, Young Master Jing slammed the table and refused to eat, making the servants in the entire yard so anxious that they surrounded him.

Zhaocai held up the box of crickets he had bought at a high price and said, "Sir, look, these are top-quality crickets. Now that you have finished your meal, would you like me to play with them?"

"Snapped!"

Young Master Jing slapped the bamboo tube away with his hand. The bamboo tube fell to the ground and broke into two pieces. The cricket jumped out and disappeared in a few flashes.

The distressed Zhaocai cried out: "Oh my, my little ancestor, that was bought with ten taels of silver, and it's gone just like that."

Young Master Jing didn't take it seriously and shouted, "What a crap thing, isn't it just a few bugs? I'm short of the ten taels of silver, it's not original at all."

Upon seeing this, Jinbao quickly took out the Nine Linked Rings in his hand and said as if offering a treasure: "Sir, look at this, I guarantee you have never seen it before, it is a new product from the Western Regions, called the Nine Linked Rings."

Young Master Jing then became interested and reached out to take it. Jinbao quickly held it in his arms and begged, "Master, don't be anxious. Can you eat first?"

Seeing that the other party was about to explode, Ruyi quickly brought over his favorite sweet-scented osmanthus glutinous rice cake and said, "Jinbao, what are you talking about? If the young master doesn't want to eat, then don't eat. You don't have to make the decision."

Then he turned to his son and said with a smile: "Sir, how about you eat a piece of glutinous rice cake? It's simple and only takes a few bites."

Perhaps Young Master Jing was annoyed by them and his anger had subsided. He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.

Seeing this, several servants breathed a sigh of relief.

Zhaocai Jinbao is the servant of Young Master Jing, and Jixiang Ruyi is his maid.

After casually eating a piece of glutinous rice cake, Young Master Jing grabbed the Nine Rings from Jinbao's hand, spread it on the armchair and played with it carefully.

Jinbao poked Zhaocai and said proudly, "This thing is very rare. In the next ten days or half a month, we don't have to worry about the young master running away."

Zhaocai gave him a thumbs up and said, "You are really awesome."

Jixiang Ruyi left a few of their favorite dishes and asked the servants to clear the remaining breakfast on the table.

In wealthy families, any food that the master cannot finish will be given to the servants.
