On the second day of the first month, I returned to my parents' home.

Gengyuan is also this custom.

On this day, everyone in the long room got up early in the morning, and after dressing up, they were going to accompany the Li family back to the Li Mansion.

This is the first time Le Shaoyuan came to see his father-in-law and mother-in-law after coming to Gengyuan, and he actually had the apprehension when he met his parents with the Li family for the first time.

Le Xi was also a little nervous, after all, she was also visiting her maternal grandparents for the first time.

Looking at the gifts prepared according to the preferences of the two old men and their uncles and aunts in their memories, they were being packed little by little, and this sense of tension became more and more intense.

Among them, it was Li who was the most calm, and even Le Yu had a solemn face.

Because Le Yu still remembers that when he returned to the Li Mansion with the Li family last year, his grandfather, who was not smiling, did not even let the door of the hall enter, but only let them bow down the corridor and drove people away.

I don't know if it will be so embarrassing this year.

He really didn't know why his grandfather was so stranger to his mother.

The four people in the long room were in different moods and arrived at the weeping flower door.

The second and third rooms were standing at the door to greet each other.

The family was in a hurry to set off at a time.

When they meet, they naturally can't avoid gossiping.

Le Xi's afterglow occasionally fell on Yu's face during the salute, and saw that the makeup on her face was very heavy today, and her eyes seemed to be a little swollen.

Some of them looked like they had cried......

Le Xi frowned suspiciously, on this festive day of the New Year, why was Yu's sad heart?

Putting away this doubt in his heart, Le Xi pretended not to know anything and boarded the car with Li.

When the sound of the carriage slowed down, the gate of the Li Mansion arrived.

Lexi lifted the curtain.

The gate of the Li Mansion is not conspicuous at all, it should be the mansion of the second-class master, and the gate has not been repainted even after the New Year.

The vermilion mansion door, which fell mottled in pieces, still showed a sense of depression when it looked like.

At the gate of the Li Mansion, which had no festive colors at all, Le Xi also saw an old man wearing a half-old and blue robe.

Ke Lexi knew that this old man who didn't look very decent was the chief steward of the Li Mansion.

Compared to the memories in his head, he only looked a little older, and his face hadn't changed much. It was instantly recognized.

Le Xi lowered the curtains and greeted him outside with the big housekeeper of Li Mansion.

Li Shi hummed calmly, and Le Yu's eyes widened slightly, absolutely taken aback.

But then I thought nervously, is this to welcome them or is it going to refuse them to enter the house?!

After all, it really doesn't look like my grandfather's practice.

Fortunately, Le Yu's thoughts were superfluous, and Steward Qin was indeed there to welcome them.

Before Le Shaoyuan revealed his identity, Steward Qin had already opened the way for them with a smile and let the carriage enter the Li Mansion directly.

The Li Mansion is more than half smaller than the Hou Mansion.

The carriage stopped directly at the stable, and everyone got off at the porch, crossed a patio, and then went to the second gate.

Steward Qin led them to walk under the corridor on the left side of the house, but after half an hour, everyone went to the main courtyard and went to the upper room.

Le Shaoyuan cautiously helped Li up the steps, and Le Xi followed behind him without squinting.

The maid in the upper room gave a curious look to the group and stood under the porch to salute.

The four were led straight into the house.

On the arhat couch in the simple and plain room, two old men with white sideburns were sitting, and on either side sat three middle-aged men who were older than Le Shaoyuan and three women dressed as women.

When the four of them entered the house, they were about to kneel on the kneeling mat that had already been prepared and saluted.

When Mrs. Li saw the clumsy Li with a big belly, she leaned over slightly with red eyes and wanted to excuse herself, but she was made by a cold snort from Mrs. Li, and immediately pursed her lips and sat up straight.

Le Shaoyuan and the three of them kowtowed three times respectfully, and Li's body was inconvenient, and he barely touched the ground with his hands, which was a full salute.

Old Madam Li looked at Li like this, tears suddenly fell, and she didn't care about Old Madam Li's expression anymore. directly got off the Luohan couch and helped up the Li family.

Le Shaoyuan was also helped up by Master Li.

Seeing his wife and children like this, Mrs. Li snorted coldly again.

Le Shaoyuan hurriedly bowed to him again, saying words of congratulations and greetings.

During this time, Li was helped by Mrs. Li to sit on the couch, holding her hand and asking her about her body. The Lexi brothers and sisters were also pulled down by their eldest aunt.

This trip back to the Li Mansion was far better than everyone thought of in their hearts.

Le Yu has been by Le Shaoyuan's side recently, and his horizons have broadened a lot. and the three uncles, even if they were deliberately examined about some things in the court, they could answer like a stream.

Le Xi whispered to his cousin in the Li Mansion and gave him the meeting gift he had prepared.

The sisters found that Le Xi had changed too much from the fierce appearance in their memories, and slowly lost their guard, and relaxed their mood and told her interesting stories between sisters.

The somewhat dull atmosphere in the room suddenly dissipated, and low laughter began to be faintly heard.

Hearing the movement here, Steward Qin, who was still waiting outside the house, breathed a sigh of relief.

The knot in the heart of the old lady should finally be untied.

At noon, the Li family set up a lively table, a large family had fun, and the laughter at the dinner table did not stop.

After lunch, the ladies and juniors went to listen to the play.

Mrs. Li San also smiled and said that this is a blessing from the Li family, and the Li Mansion has not invited a troupe into the house for nearly ten years.

The person who said this was unintentional, but the three of Li's mother and son listened to it in their hearts. Especially Lexi, after calculating the time, it turned out to be two years after Li's marriage. I can't help but have a secret suspicion.

I don't know what the old lady Li is worried about.

Li is obviously his only daughter-in-law, and she should be the pearl of his palm, but in the end he almost refused.

The female juniors were listening to the play, and Le Shaoyuan was invited to the study by Mrs. Li, and the three eldest brothers were also invited.

As soon as he entered the study, Old Lady Li's originally peaceful face became stern.

When he looked at Le Shaoyuan and snorted coldly, Le Shaoyuan inexplicably sweated from his head.

The three eldest brothers were silent, and this attitude made Le Shaoyuan feel even more worried.

In this apprehension, he heard Mrs. Li speak: "I don't want you to step into my mansion again, but I just think that you are still affectionate to Jing'er, and you teach Yu'er to be quite good!" ”

Le Shaoyuan didn't know what the past was, so he had to bow and bow and didn't dare to answer indiscriminately.

Then I heard Mrs. Li say: "No matter who was at fault with that unfilial girl back then, which brought shame to my Li family and caused people to poke Jing'er's backbone in secret, I don't want to settle this foolish account with you!" This matter is revealed! If I find that you are a little confused again, I will come to you before the Holy One! Let Jing'er be reconciled with you!! ”

Listening, Le Shaoyuan's eyebrows jumped, and then he swallowed Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say what he was suffering from. Did he suffer for others?!

And after listening to this remark, he finally sorted out the spearhead, which was related to the deceased Xiao Li.

"Ahem, father, don't you have something important to do with Hanzhi? Let's not talk about the ageing beforehand. Master Li San didn't seem to be able to see his father's harsh criticism, so he changed the topic at this time.

The gratitude in Le Shaoyuan's heart is about to treat him as a bodhisattva.

Old lady Li didn't know what his son was thinking, so he snorted again, and changed his expression and said to Le Shao: "Do you know that the king of Jin wants to lead the ministers to participate in the king of Qi to raise 30,000 private soldiers when the dynasty opens?!" (To be continued.) )
