Chapter 4: Marriage in the Yin
As soon as Li Xianyuan crossed the threshold with his family Ding Gang to the front yard, a middle-aged man came to meet him. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The family leader who led Li Xianyuan stepped forward and bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man: "Steward Li, this son is here to sign up." ”
The man is dressed in a green robe, with a goatee, a tall figure, with a bit of bookishness, and a faint youthful demeanor. Hearing this, he looked Li Xianyuan up and down, and nodded slightly with satisfaction: "Yes, there is a bit of temperament." I'll take him with me, and you can go up and wait at the door." ”
And the little one went. The family said respectfully, trotting back to the door.
Li Xianyuan followed Jiading until Jiading's figure disappeared behind the door before turning his head and following behind Steward Li.
The butler walked in front and said without looking back, "You go with me to see the old lady." ”
Old lady?
Li Xianyuan stopped
"What?" Steward Li turned his head and looked at Li Xianyuan, who had stopped: "What's wrong with Childe." ”
"There could be something wrong. Li Xianyuan and Steward Li looked at each other and said, "I'm here to sign up." ”
"Outside the door is not the registration office. ”
"But where is the registration for the children's examination?"
"......" Steward Li seemed speechless, and was silent for a long time before saying: "This is the Li family, and the examination room is still a tea distance from here." ”
Li Xianyuan understood, and bowed his hand slightly: "That's bothering, I'll leave here." ”
"Wait. Steward Li stopped Li Xianyuan, who was about to turn around. "It's still tomorrow, so it's useless for you to go now. Since it's okay, it's better to come in and sit down. Are you still afraid that my Li family will not be able to eat people?"
Nothing to do. Li Xianyuan secretly said this in his heart. His gaze went around Steward Li and looked at the courtyard behind him.
In the rockery stream, a few young girls hid in the distance, pointing to each other.
This is the registration office, what is that trick, is it a family......
"Yin marriage?"
Li Xianyuan was stunned when he heard this, and said in his heart that he really shouldn't have come this time.
Walking back and forth in the huge garden, Li Xianyuan was led to the study by the housekeeper. An old lady sitting on the Taishi chair behind the desk asked Li Xianyuan if she was willing to get married.
"Marriage is the search for a spouse for the dead. On the side, Steward Li thought that Li Xianyuan didn't know, so he explained to him.
"There are no dead in my family, the old lady has found the wrong person. Li Xianyuan arched his hand, pretending to be confused. He connected everything to the team he had seen from the outside, and everything made sense.
Except for the girl in the coffin.
The old lady is old, with a gorgeous brocade dress, and her eyes are cloudy but full of wisdom. Perhaps because of the death of her loved ones, she looked a little sad. She was stunned when she heard this, and turned to look at Steward Li: "Yuansheng, doesn't this son know the situation??"
"Old lady, he was going to the examination room to register, but he came to our house by mistake, and it can be regarded as fate. I'm just going to make the mistake and the wrong person to fool you. When it comes to recruiting your grandson-in-law, whether you succeed or not depends on your old wishes. Steward Li was very respectful to the old lady, and the younger generation saluted.
"Is that so...... Also, it can't be delayed any longer. Yuansheng, you go down first, I'll talk to this son. ”
"You may be seated. After Steward Li left, the old woman looked at Li Xianyuan and said, "I'm sorry first, Yuansheng is also too anxious, so I brought it without your consent." ”
A maid came in with tea, and Li Xianyuan didn't squint and said, "It's okay." ”
This kind of thing, the old woman will definitely pretend to be pitiful to win sympathy next, and she can't be soft-hearted. There is still a young man outside who is chasing after him, and it would be a mess to marry a dead man and go home.
"Look at the little boy's face, isn't he a local?" said the old woman, sipping tea.
"People from other counties. "Li Xianyuan's body is straight.
The old woman said kindly: "Looking at the appearance of the son, he should have just entered the county not long ago, right? ”
"Thank you, old woman. Li Xianyuan said, but his body was motionless.
He began to hope that Ji Canghai would appear soon to break the siege. It's better to say, "This man belongs to me, and you don't want to touch it." If you want to snatch away the fist that you asked Young Master Ben first. "Words like that.
Li Xianyuan knows his personality and is too soft-hearted. If the old woman pleaded with herself, she might have taken a dead man home.
The old woman seemed to see the emotions in Li Xianyuan's heart, and said with a slight smile: "Don't be afraid, my Li family will not be difficult." If you really don't want to ask for it, you should be a guest. ”
She spoke sincerely, and Li Xianyuan let go of her heart.
The two were silent, the study fell into silence, and the fragrance of Longjing tea was mixed with the fragrance of the study ink and ink.
After about half a cup of tea, Li Xianyuan stood up from his seat to say goodbye, but the old woman did not stop him, and sent a maid to send Li Xianyuan out of the house.
There were a few oddities in this trip. Li Xianyuan walked onto the street, looked back at the Li Mansion and thought in his heart.
Out of Li's house, Li Xianyuan went to the examination room and went back to the inn, locked himself in the room, and did not go out of the door. Until the next morning, go out to the test room to register.
The exam date is set for the beginning of summer two days later. Usually Li Xianyuan stays in the room to read, and when the meal is over, he goes downstairs to eat.
During the meal, from the conversations of the surrounding diners, Li Xianyuan can also understand the real customs of this world. After all, he had been living alone in the mountains for more than ten years, and his knowledge of this was only passed down from books to the villagers in the village.
The most spread in the past two days is the matter of Tong Shengxuan and Miss Li Jiaer, who came today. The Tong Sheng test is related to Li Xianyuan's foothold, and the Li family also has some connections with Li Xianyuan. I heard that Miss Li Er has passed the first seven years and is buried. But the husband has not been found for a long time.
"The Li family's vision is too high. Otherwise, with their Li family's wealth, how many sons-in-law would they want, why would they be like this now...... Don't talk about it, let's pour wine. ”
Li Xianyuan sat by the window on the second floor, and the chatter around him faintly came into his ears.
The lights outside the window are on, and the sky is full of stars. The streets below are full of people. The unique aroma of shouting and snacks rose, which attracted Li Xianyuan, who was full of meals, to have a little more appetite.
Faced with this prosperous scene, Li Xianyuan felt that he had integrated into the world a little.
There was faint laughter and cheers coming from the Wanghu Tower across the street, and the window paper was full of shadows. Tomorrow is the children's test, and those talented ladies who have won the ticket will charter the restaurant, and then find some friends and women in the Qinglou to help the fun. Of course, the reputation is called poetry.
I heard that the first talented woman in Wuhou County appeared, so this early "celebration banquet" for teenagers and girls changed its taste, and there were many young people in Wuhou County who thought they were talented. So the celebration party became a poetry meeting. Previously, the protagonists stood aside and became supporting characters.
"This uncle, give me something to eat, I haven't eaten for two days. A voice in the sloping ground interrupted Li Xianyuan's train of thought.
Li Xianyuan looked away and saw a young beggar standing in front of the table, dirty and pitiful looking at him.
"Sit down. Li Xianyuan glanced at him lightly, looked away and looked out the window again.
The restaurant opposite is still dressed up, and the sons with folding fans in their hands are pouring in, and they don't have to guess to know the purpose of their coming. This is the first talented woman in Wuhou County, but she is very popular, but she doesn't know what she looks like.
"I'm so hungry, can I eat. The little beggar still had a pitiful expression.
"Eat. Li Xianyuan didn't look back at all.
The little beggar was not polite, he sat opposite Li Xianyuan, and reached out to grab it without even using chopsticks.
The chirping was endless, Li Xianyuan frowned and shifted his gaze, looking at the little beggar who was swallowing with a mouth full of oil: "Canghai, you eat like this on weekdays?"
Ji Canghai swallowed what was in his mouth, stretched out his wrist, revealing a piece of smooth skin like a white lotus, wiped off the fat at the corner of his mouth and said, "Isn't this to conform to the image of the current outfit." Huh, do you recognize me?"
Before Li Xianyuan could answer, Ji Canghai was already muttering to himself, "He is worthy of the man I fancie." And so on and then continue to gobble it up. For a moment, Li Xianyuan really felt that Ji Canghai in front of him was a hungry and crazy beggar pretending.
Pushing the dish in front of him towards Ji Canghai, Li Xianyuan picked up the teacup and brought it to his mouth, looking out of the window again.
His eyes flickered slightly, and the restaurant opposite had a new change.
A window in the restaurant was pushed open, and a woman appeared in front of the window, and Li Xianyuan happened to be looking at each other below.
It's a street away, and the appearance is not real. can only tell that it is a woman with a good appearance. Li Xianyuan raised the teacup, shook it at the woman in the air, and drank it all.
If you don't consider his age, it's quite a romantic move.
The woman was stunned and bowed slightly.
Putting down the teacup, Li Xianyuan suddenly felt a little strange. Or rather, the chirp is gone.
Li Xianyuan turned his head, and sure enough, he saw Ji Canghai puffing up his bun face and glaring at him.
Li Xianyuan said helplessly: "It's a bit of a cultivator's shelf." Will you puff up your face and glare at him in the future? ”
"It's not the same thing, can I still hold a sword to your neck...... Huh?" In the middle of his words, Ji Canghai's eyes suddenly lit up.
That's right. I can't say him, but I can beat him. It doesn't matter if you don't agree, you will be tied up and taken away forcibly......
Syllable!
With a crisp sound, Ji Canghai covered his head, shrunk his neck pitifully and looked at Li Xianyuan who was holding a chopstick in his hand: "Why are you beating me." ”
"If you don't fight, you should take a sword. Li Xianyuan put down his chopsticks.
