There is a happy inn in the capital.

Chapter 283 Striving for Excellence

"I know"

"So what does Yuying have to worry about? Just cherish every moment you spend with me."

Liang Yuying smiled and said, "Okay."

The carriage arrived smoothly at Baihua Manor.

A group of people rushed into the village, making quite a commotion.

A chorus of "Wow, wow, wow!" filled the air, as if we had entered the land of the Frog Prince.

They woke up Hu Er, who was sleeping and enjoying the cool shade under the big tree.

"Big brother, big brother, thief! Quick, grab your weapons!"

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen leaped over and gave Hu Er a resounding flick on the forehead.

"What are you yelling about? Who's the thief? Who's the thief?"

Tiger Two covered his head and said aggrievedly, "Miss Li, you brought so many people here, making such a big fuss, I thought a thief had broken in."

Li Shuchen: "No, anyone who dares to rob Hundred Flowers Manor, I'll make them wish they were dead."

Tiger Two raised his watch with determination: "I, Tiger Two, will be the first to not let him off the hook."

"Miss Li has arrived," Zhao Tianchuan appeared beside her.

Li Shuchen greeted him, "Brother Zhao."

Zhao Tianchuan: "Miss Li, would you like us to bring back Seventh Sister and the others from Chaohui Fruit Manor for the banquet?"

Li Shuchen nodded: "Yes, we need to."

Zhao Tianchuan: "Okay, I'll tell the brothers to pack their things right away."

"I, Tiger Two, am going too!"

"Tiger Two, etc."

Li Shuchen called out to Hu Er, who scratched his head and turned around.

"What's wrong?"

"I ate your honey before, so I'm returning it to you."

Li Shuchen pointed to the honey jars in the shade in front of the house.

Tiger Two glanced at it and said, "There's plenty of honey in the woods. Even if we eat it all, I, Tiger Two, can still fight. Miss Li, you don't need to pay me back."

After saying that, he turned and walked away quickly.

Helpless, Li Shuchen walked to the front of the house, picked up the honey, and placed it in a cool, shady spot in the kitchen.

I heard a "thud" as soon as I put it down.

Looking back, I saw Uncle Yuan kneeling on the ground.

"Uncle Yuan, what's wrong?"

Uncle Yuan moved his lips slightly: "General Liang."

Upon hearing this, Li Shuchen glanced into the distance and saw Liang Yuying directing the girls to move porcelain. He then called out twice.

"Yu Ying, Yu Ying"

Liang Yuying turned around: "What's wrong, Shu Chen?"

Li Shuchen waved: "Come here for a moment."

Uncle Yuan was so moved that tears welled up in his eyes as he watched General Liang approach.

After Liang Yuying approached

With a loud thud, his head hit the ground.

"This humble subject greets General Liang."

Liang Yuying: No need for formalities.

After saying that, he walked to Li Shuchen's side.

Uncle Yuan followed Liang Yuying, shifting his legs to kneel before General Liang.

Liang Yuying frowned: "Why don't you get up?"

"General Liang is my great benefactor. Please accept my deepest gratitude for your thrice-kneeling and nine-kowtow ceremony."

After Uncle Yuan finished speaking, he began to bow.

Liang Yuying looked at Li Shuchen in confusion.

Li Shuchen: "Uncle Yuan's daughter tragically fell into the hands of a succubus. You rid the people of the succubus, and he wants to thank you."

Upon hearing this, Liang Yuying understood and stepped forward to help Uncle Yuan up, saying, "This is what I should do."

Uncle Yuan stood up, wiped away his tears, and sobbed, "Thank you, General Liang. What would you like for lunch, General Liang?"

Liang Yuying: "Just make some simple home-cooked meals."

"Alright, I'll get right on it."

Uncle Yuan happily went to wash the vegetables, humming a little tune as he went; it was clear he was in a very good mood.

Li Shuchen was infected by Uncle Yuan's mood and smiled, "Yuying is great!"

"Shu Chen is not bad either."

"Miss, the stove and lamb have been arranged, the porcelain has been stored away and guarded, the distiller has been taken by Young Master Cheng for experiments, and the glass bottle and cumin have been placed in your room. Is there anything else you need?"

Old Nine carried a large knife into the kitchen.

Uncle Yuan looked up when he heard the familiar voice, immediately put down what he was holding, and quickly went to Lao Jiu's side.

With a "thud," he knelt down again.

"Many thanks to Ninth Sister for her great kindness."

The ninth brother looked at Li Shuchen, puzzled. Li Shuchen explained again, and the ninth brother understood, saying, "Uncle, it was nothing, please rise."

"Ninth Miss, please accept my deepest respect with three kneelings and nine kowtows."

Uncle Yuan insisted on bowing.

Old Nine looked at Li Shuchen helplessly, and Li Shuchen patted Old Nine on the shoulder and said...

"To fulfill Uncle Yuan's kind intentions"

After bowing, Uncle Yuan stood up and asked, "What would Miss Jiu like for lunch? I'll make it."

Ninth Brother: "Whatever Miss eats, I will eat too."

Uncle Yuan nodded upon hearing this, then turned and went back to his work.

Li Shuchen: "Has the plaque at the entrance of the village been replaced?"

Ninth Brother: "I'll go change right away."

"No need, I'll go change it. I'll rewrite the story of this manor myself."

After Li Shuchen finished speaking, he walked firmly towards the entrance of the village.

"I'll help you"

Liang Yuying followed closely behind

The ninth brother took the plaque, and the eighth brother followed behind with the ladder.

Cheng Zhian, who was fiddling with the distiller nearby, followed suit upon seeing this.

The group arrived at the entrance of the village.

Lao Ba set up the ladder.

Li Shuchen took the plaque and went up the steps.

Liang Yuying held the ladder firmly with both hands, her voice full of reassurance: "Shuchen, don't worry, I'll hold the bamboo ladder securely and won't let you be in any danger."

Cheng Zhian also helped up the bamboo ladder, and said in a clear voice, "Go ahead boldly, I'll protect you from behind."

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes holding a hidden meaning that was difficult to decipher.

After a brief exchange, they averted their gazes and looked at Li Shuchen.

Li Shuchen glanced down and thought, "Good heavens, four people are holding up this ladder. Is she that delicate? Have they all forgotten that she knows kung fu?"

As expected, she reached the top steadily, took off the previous plaque and threw it to the open space beside her. She then shook her hand vigorously to shake off any bad luck before replacing it with her own plaque, which read "Baihuazhuang" in a stylish handwriting.

After steadying her, I examined her closely; it truly lived up to her reputation as a calligrapher.

Freedom, beauty, grandeur

He raised his arm and carefully wiped it with his sleeve before reluctantly descending the bamboo ladder.

When it is close to the ground

Liang Yuying raised her arm and smiled gently, "Shu Chen, help me."

Not to be outdone, Cheng Zhi'an also raised his arm and said with a gentle smile, "Help me up."

Li Shuchen glanced at Liang Yuying on the left and Cheng Zhian on the right.

I felt something was off about the two of them.

In the end, he decided not to let anyone help him and jumped to the ground himself.

Ah, it feels so good to rely on my own instincts! Clapping my hands, I headed into the flower garden.

Liang Yuying and Cheng Zhian were left alone, looking at each other awkwardly.

"Hmph" *2

Li Shuchen found the group of girls and called out.

"Wooden Roost"

Muqi emerged from the group of girls, beaming from ear to ear: "Miss, please give your orders."

Li Shuchen had never seen Mu Qi laugh so heartily before, and asked in surprise, "Why are you so happy? Did you find some silver?"

Muqi shook his head: "We didn't find any silver, but there are things that make us even happier than finding silver."

Li Shuchen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "What could make you happier than finding silver? Tell me about it."

"I must thank you, Miss, for bringing me to admire the flowers. I have never seen such a magnificent sight before. Just looking at these colorful flowers fills me with joy."

Li Shuchen nodded in agreement. Flowers are something all girls like, and he then said to the group of girls, "You may choose your favorite flowers to wear in your hair, but remember not to waste them."

"That's wonderful, thank you so much, Miss Li."

"Thank you, miss."

Li Shuchen waved for them to pick flowers, then said to Mu Qi, "After you've had lunch, remember to roast two lambs; I need them."

Muqi smiled and said, "Yes, Miss."
