Chapter Seventeen
Li Xingzhi went to the main courtyard, and Mrs. Li was talking to the servants. Seeing him coming in, she smiled and waved: "Xingzhi is here. The back kitchen made some golden jujube cakes just now, and they are still hot. Mother is about to serve them. Someone sent it to you."
Li Xingzhi took his seat and saw a plate of jujube cakes on the table, which smelled so fragrant. Madam Li handed him a piece and said: "You have been studying all day, it is really hard. It seems to have reduced a lot."
Li Xingzhi took the jujube cake, took a bite, and said, "No, mother, don't worry too much. Dad said yesterday that I don't study hard." "You listen to him
. What?" Madam Li said angrily, "I didn't see him coming back as the No. 1 scholar back then, but now he can only scold you." The
mother and son were talking, and Madam Li casually ordered her servants: "This jujube cake is not bad, give it to the wisteria. Send a copy to Yuanyuan."
The servant girl was ordered to leave, but Li Xingzhi suddenly stopped her and said, "Send a copy to Shuyue Zhai."
Madam Li was startled, but she didn't say anything, just put it on. He waved his hand: "Go, do as the young master ordered."

looked at him, the smile on her face faded a bit, and said: "She tells you everything, when did your relationship become so good?"

Li Xingzhi's heart sank slightly , said: "Mother, why?"
Madam Li said: "I am also doing this for her own good.

Although what she said was somewhat reasonable, Li Xingzhi could not be completely convinced, and he tried to refute: "But my child thinks that Zhizhi is very smart..." "
She is a country elder. How smart is an older child?" Madam Li interrupted him, and said: "You speak for her today, have you ever thought about your sister?" Li Xingzhi was stunned: "I..." Madam Li
