"Wuror, you and Ge'er and the others go! Let's continue tomorrow." Yue Fei's father Yue He wiped the sweat from his forehead and shouted to his son who was digging a canal in the distance.

Yue He bought ten acres of barren dry land this year. The weather was good these days and his son was at home. So he seized the time to plough the land deeper and let it dry for half a year, so that wheat can be grown in autumn.

The Yue family has a big yellow cow, and plowing the fields is not difficult. The trouble is to dig a canal. They need to dig a canal to connect to the nearby irrigation canal so that the water can be brought over. However, the nearest canal must be dozens of feet away.

Yue Fei looked at the sky and said to Li Yanqing, who helped him dig the canal, "Anyway, I can't finish digging tonight, so let's clean up and leave!"

Li Yanqing stretched out his arms and smiled, "The physical strength is OK, but his arms are a little sore."

The two of them ran to the river to wash their faces, cleaned up a little, and then went to Wang Gui's house together.

As expected, as Tang Huai expected, Wang Gui hesitated to Li Yanqing as soon as he entered the door: "I talked to my grandfather, but the result was not very good, and I'm afraid it will disappoint you."

This result was expected by Li Yanqing. Seeing Wang Gui's face full of depression, he comforted him: "It's okay, you have tried your best."

Wang Gui sighed, "Grandfather said I was too young and didn't understand the worldly ways. He told us not to interfere in adult affairs. I am already fourteen years old. In his eyes, I am still a child, and I really have nothing to say."

Li Yanqing smiled and said, "Take more people and things, and less swords and sticks. In the eyes of my grandfather, you will grow up slowly."

"Forget it! I can't talk to those people."

Li Yanqing looked around but did not see Tang Yuan'er, and then asked with a smile: "Young lady didn't follow you, it's rare!"

When talking about Tangyuaner, Wang Gui felt a headache. He frowned and said, "The little lady dressed up today, as if she was celebrating her. She followed me everywhere, and many people joked about me. I asked my sister to help and tripped her in the inner house."

Li Yanqing knew that Wang Gui actually liked Tangyuaner very much, but he was embarrassed. At this time, Li Yanqing suddenly saw Wang Gui's father coming out of the living room, looking around, and smiled and said, "Your father seems to be looking for you!"

Wang Gui was startled and hurriedly hid behind Li Yanqing, "Help me block it, please be seen by my father."

But it was too late, and Wang Gui's big red robe was exposed behind Li Yanqing. Wang Gui's father first saw Li Yanqing, and then saw Wang Gui's red robe. His eyes lit up and rushed forward and dragged Wang Gui out, "I'm looking for you everywhere, come with me quickly, my grandfather is going to get angry."

"Dad, I really don't want to deal with those people anymore!"

"Stop talking nonsense, go quickly!"

Wang Gui glanced at Li Yanqing helplessly, and was dragged away by his father. Wang Gui was about to leave. The patriarch Li Wenyou walked out of the side door of the yard and waved to Li Yanqing. Li Yanqing quickly walked up. Li Wenyou pulled him to a corner and asked anxiously: "How is it, did Wang Gui tell his grandfather?"

"I've said it, but it still doesn't work!"

Li Wenyou's eyes showed extreme disappointment, which was his only hope. He found several other families with ships last night. Either the ship was confiscated or he didn't dare to sail. Now only the Wang family's fleet can enter and exit Yongji Canal. Now even the last glimmer of hope has been cut off. How can he not be disappointed?

"Clan leader, otherwise I would let me talk to Grandfather Wang Gui!"

Li Wenyou sighed, "I have negotiated repeatedly with Wang Gui's grandfather. His attitude is very clear. Unless Zhang Junbao gave up himself, he can only remain neutral. With the relationship between Zhang and Wang, this is his biggest concession. How can I be ungrateful?"

After a moment of silence, Li Yanqing asked: "Captain can you negotiate with Zhang Junbao?"

A heavy breath spurted out from Li Wenyou's nostrils, as if the name Zhang Junbao had caused serious blasphemy to his ears.

However, he had to admit that he had been weak.

"How could I not go to find him? I went to find him early in the morning. The conditions offered by Zhang Junbao were too harsh. We asked us to sell him a hundred hectares of land in Xiaohonglin. That was the ancestral property, how could I agree!"

Li Wenyou was already desperate. It was better to say that he was comforting Li Yanqing than to comfort him.

"If it really doesn't work, I'll go to the capital to explain the reasons to Cao Ji Grain Bank and apologize! I will double the deposit from the Grain Bank, and I just hope that this big customer can keep it."

As soon as he said this, Li Wenyou immediately closed his mouth and a dark cloud appeared on his face. When Li Yanqing turned around, he saw Zhang Junbao appearing next to the side door, looking at them with a smile.

Li Wenyou snorted heavily and pulled Li Yanqing to leave, but Zhang Junbao walked up to him and smiled in a silence: "Sorry, I want to tell Brother Li a good news. Marriott has agreed to lend me the fleet."

"you--"

Li Wenyou was furious and was so embarrassed that he stomped his feet and turned around and left. Li Yanqing was very anxious and hurriedly chased after him, "Class leader, wait!"

Zhang Junbao wanted this effect, and he burst into laughter. This time, for the fleet dispute, he and Li Wenyou had already torn apart, and their surface friendship was gone. Zhang Junbao thought about the clan struggle ten years ago. It would be better for the Li family to lose everything. Li Wenyou was sent to prison to relieve his hatred.

Li Yanqing chased him to the door and finally grabbed Li Wenyou who was rushing and hurriedly said, "Class leader, don't hurry to leave, listen to me."

Li Wenyou's face was flushed with anger and said furiously: "Wang Wanhao doesn't give me face, why am I still staying here and being humiliated?"

Seeing that many people around him were looking at this side, Li Yanqing quickly pulled the clan leader aside and whispered: "Wang Wanhao may have agreed to the Zhang family, but it is not his true intention. I believe he is also very sorry for the clan leader. He will agree happily next time he borrows a boat. But the clan leader left in anger today. Not only did Li Zhang get into evil, but the relationship between the Li and Wang families is also over. The Tang family will also stand on the side of the Wang family. In the future, the Li family will be isolated in Xiaohe Township. The clan leader will think twice!"

Li Wenyou calmed down a little. He knew that Li Yanqing was right, but he felt so nervous that he gritted his teeth and said, "I can't swallow this tone!"

Li Yanqing whispered: "I have a solution, maybe I can give it a try."

He whispered a few words to the patriarch, and Li Wenyou frowned, "Is this possible?"

"If the patriarch wants to borrow a ship, this is the last chance."

Li Wenyou thought of Zhang Junbao's ugly face and the hardships they had suffered over the past few years, so he slowly gritted his teeth and said, "Forget it, I've come to a dead end anyway, I'll be a slaughter!"

At this time, Wang Wanhao heard that Li Wenyou was angry and ran out in anger. He grabbed Li Wenyou and said, "Brother, don't leave. I will give my brother a drink and apologize. I still have the same position in the morning about the fleet. I just told Lao Zhang that I will lend him the boat, but it does not mean that now, I will not tear my brother's face."

Zhang Junbao also came over and pretended to apologize: "I just spoke inappropriately, so I hope my brother will not take it to heart."

When Li Wenyou saw Li Yanqing giving him a look, he knew it and snorted heavily, saying to Zhang Junbao: "I'm in a hurry to rush back. I want to prepare to serve wine to celebrate the first place in the county exam for our Li family. In two days, Lao Tang's family will also serve wine. Is Lao Tang right?"

Tang Huai's grandfather Tang Lian nodded, clasped his fists and smiled at everyone, "My Tang Huai County ranked tenth in the exam, and I am also planning to set up a few tables of wine to celebrate in two days. Please be sure to visit us!"

Everyone agreed with a smile, "I will definitely come!"

Li Wenyou said to Zhang Junbao contemptuously: "Our Li family, Wang family, and Tang family are all going to have a drink to celebrate. I want to ask Mr. Zhang, when will the Zhang family plan to have a drink to celebrate?"

Li Wenyou deliberately humiliated Zhang Junbao, and Zhang Junbao's face turned blue and white. He wanted to show off his clan's son Zhang Qiao, but he had a secret. Although Zhang Qiao was nominally the third place in the martial arts examination in Xiangzhou, there were only three people in Xiangzhou this year who participated in the martial arts examination, which was really not worth showing off.

Zhang Junbao's face was extremely ugly and speechless. He turned around and left in disappointment.

Wang Wanhao and Tang Lian quickly persuaded Li Wenyou to enter the inner hall for tea, but everyone was talking about it. Everyone could see that the Li and Zhang families were turning against each other, but they didn't know why.

Some old people knew about the old things ten years ago, so they took them out and told everyone that for a moment, there were talks about the fierce water grabbing ten years ago everywhere inside and outside the palace.

On the inner hall were seven or eight elders from the prominent tribes in the village, one of which was the seat of Master Yao Ding. He was in poor health and could not come to the banquet. In order to show respect for his master, Wang Wanhao specially kept his seat.

Everyone was drinking the white-eyed tea specially bought by Wang Wanhao from the capital, and the hot tea was rolling with tea brews, just like white long-eyed eyebrows.

Two beautiful Lejis specially invited from the county town were singing small songs with their pipa in their arms. No one cared about what they sang, but several guests were very concerned about their appearance and figure. While pretending to drink tea, their eyes were very bright and glaring at them.

After chatting for a few words, Li Wenyou smiled and suggested to everyone: "Wang Yuanwai's grandson has outstanding archery skills. Why do you think?"

Everyone agreed, "Good idea, Mr. Wang, please let Sun show us something and help us with the fun."
