Two days passed in a hurry. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Today's Wuhou County is a little different from the past. The reason is that today is the 70th birthday of the old lady of the Li family.

If you ask this old lady Li, everyone in Wuhou County knows it. Even the entire Shuncheonfu is famous.

Decades ago, Mrs. Li married into the Li family and gave birth to a second daughter, and her husband died suddenly. As soon as the pillars fell, the Li family declined, those close relatives in the past competed for property, and the partners in the business also took advantage of the fire to rob.

Mrs. Li, who had just given birth to her second daughter, stood up at this time, eliminated all difficulties, first expelled those relatives who took advantage of the chaos to rob relatives from the family tree, and then vigorously rectified them, and forcibly revived the Li family, which was in decline.

So far, no one dares to gossip.

Therefore, even the magistrate of Wuhou County has respect for Mrs. Li.

Li Xianyuan woke up early, washed as usual, took wicker and dipped salt to clean his teeth, untied his long hair, rewashed it as a Taoist sideburns, changed into a white washed clean green shirt, and walked to the bronze mirror, a young man with red lips and white teeth and a dusty temperament.

Put on the bamboo tube picture scroll on your back, take a pair of couplets as a gift, and go out.

After half a pillar of incense, you will see a high-door mansion in front of you, vermilion lacquered, there are mighty stone lions standing on both sides, and a gilded plaque is hung above the main gate - Li family

Mrs. Li's birthday is a big event. There were more than a dozen waves of merchants in brocade clothes, and the family carried birthday gifts full of red silk and stacked them in front of the Li family. Most of the gifts from others are jade antiques, silk and wood. Compared with it, Li Xianyuan, who was carrying a bamboo tube and holding a He Lian in his hand, looked very shabby.

"Lord Wang! Ouch, this is not the shopkeeper Tong, why did you take the time to come. Madame Wang! Disrespectful and disrespectful ......"

The master of ceremonies in front of the door seemed to know everyone, and easily called everyone by name. A few little hats in green shirts counted the congratulatory gifts on the side, and then shouted loudly.

"Wuhou County Tong shopkeeper, a load of longevity noodles, a pair of jade horses, and ten pieces of Suzhou-made silk!"

"Master Ma of Shuntianfu, a pair of congratulatory messages, a pair of longevity rites! A piece of good Nanmu! I wish the old lady a long life and a hundred years old!"

The singer Nuo Jiading took another pair of famous thorns, and after looking at them, his voice shouted excitedly: "Shuntian Mansion Yin Governor's Mansion, a pair of gold-lettered plaques! Congratulations to the old lady on her 70th birthday!"

As the words fell, there were bursts of exclamations, and even those family members became a little more arrogant. The Li family seems to be unknown, but in fact, it has amazing energy. Even the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture sent a plaque.

The team soon took Li Xianyuan's turn, and the master of ceremonies in front of the door saw that he was empty-handed, dressed in a poor and sour manner, and his appearance was very unfamiliar, so he couldn't help but be suspicious, and wondered: "Who is this son?"

He has been the master of ceremonies for many years, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, and he has seen a lot of people with amazing identities, so he doesn't dare to underestimate them.

Li Xianyuan handed over the invitation card he received, and the master of ceremonies took it and unfolded it, and immediately put on a smiling face.

"It turned out to be the Marquis of Guannai, Lord Li, please come in quickly. ”

"You're welcome. Li Xianyuan returned the salute and handed the couplet in his hand. "A pair of congratulatory couplets. ”

The etiquette hurriedly took it with both hands, handed it over to the family on the side, and sang it aloud.

"Guannei Hou Li Xianyuan, send a pair of congratulations!"

The people in line behind him originally felt strange when they saw the master of ceremonies being so polite to a poor young man, and they suddenly realized when they heard the shout.

It is rumored that this thirteen-year-old Guan Neihou has a lot of relationship with the Li family, and now it seems that this is indeed the case. The old lady's birthday banquet actually came in person. The prefect of Shuntianfu is just a sixth grade, and he has the same official position as this young man.

The discussions behind him came into his ears, and Li Xianyuan stepped on the steps and stepped into the threshold.

When Li Xianyuan entered the door, he saw a middle-aged Confucian man walking over, who was the housekeeper surnamed Li. "Master Li, you are far away. ”

Li Xianyuan arched his hand: "Steward Li is polite." ”

Steward Li's face was a little complicated, and he shook his head and chuckled: "Ten days ago, you were just a scholar who was not even a child, but now that you have changed, the magistrate of this county will respectfully call you Lord Li." ”

Steward Li said seriously. These are things outside of my body, and I don't really value them...... At least not now. It's good that you still treat me as the boy I used to be. ”

Steward Li looked at Li Xianyuan, who was not arrogant, with a look of approval, and said: "There are still some hours before the birthday banquet, the old lady knows that you want to come early, so she asked me to wait for you here." She said that you have a young heart, you can't sit still at the birthday banquet, anyway, you are not an outsider, you can walk around the house at will. ”

The old lady is old, but her heart is like a mirror, I think she heard that Liu Qixin and his son asked to break the sky to deal with Li Xianyuan, worried that Li Xianyuan would suffer a loss at a young age, and wanted him to avoid the limelight.

Li Xianyuan replied respectfully: "I'm tired of Steward Li thanking the old lady for me." ”

Farewell to Steward Li, Li Xianyuan walked through the front yard, walked and stopped all the way with his memory, and finally came to a courtyard bedroom.

Stretched out his hand to push the door open, and stood outside the door, only to see that the festive red color in the room had been removed and turned into an ordinary boudoir again.

The pastries on the table are still new and apparently often taken care of. The spirit card is facing the door, and Li Xianyuan can faintly see a row of small characters on it outside the door.

There was no one in the courtyard, and even if there were people, they wouldn't bother him.

Li Xianyuan raised his legs and stepped into the room, a few wisps of incense smell drilled into his nose, Li Xianyuan came to the token, the incense burner in front of the card was disturbed, the cigarette ash was broken and fell into the incense burner, and the green smoke that rose became disordered.

There was a sound of footsteps behind him, and Li Xianyuan thought it was a maid cleaning the room, so he ignored it. But then, a cold voice remembered.

"Who are you?"

Li Xianyuan turned around when he heard this, and the bright sunlight outside the door shone on the room, so that Li Xianyuan couldn't see the person at the door clearly, only that it was a woman with a delicate figure.

After a few breaths, his eyes became accustomed to light, and when he looked intently, his pupils shrank suddenly.

"Ji ...... Wan'er?" Li Xianyuan lost her voice.

"Do you recognize my sister?" the woman said strangely, looked at Li Xianyuan, and suddenly said in her heart: "Are you Li Xianyuan?"

Younger sister?

I didn't see it clearly when I was in a turbulent mood before, Li Xianyuan saw that this woman was in her twenties, her eyebrows were like distant mountains and her eyes were like autumn water, and her eyebrows were extremely beautiful, very similar to Li Wan'er, and it was a little different when she looked closely. Li Wan'er is a little eccentric, and this sister is frosty and unsmiling, and her face is a little resolute.

Now the Li family's business is all about this Miss Li, so it is understandable that she has such a temperament.

Li Xianyuan replied: "It's exactly below." ”

"What have you done here? ”

"Seeing things and thinking about things. ”

The eldest lady of the Li family has been running around outside to take care of her all the year round, but she still knows a little about what happened in the Li family, and naturally she also knows about her sister and Li Xianyuan, so she said: "How long have you and my sister known each other, what is there to think about." ”

Li Xianyuan noticed that this eldest lady of the Li family seemed to be a little hostile to herself.

He replied truthfully: "I have known each other for a total of sixty-three hours, which is a short time, but it is unforgettable. ”

Li Xianyuan remembered it so clearly, the eldest lady was quite surprised, and the hostility in her eyes dissipated a little, and it was still frosty.
