In addition to Ye Feng and the children, the old woman and the other two young peasant women's jaws collectively fell at an angle of 45 degrees, and their eyes were full of surprise and incredulity as if they had seen aliens.

In the hearts of the people of Chang'an, Li Si, the prime minister of the Three Dynasties, is a sacred existence that cannot occupy the side no matter what angle he looks up to, even if the Li Mansion has fallen in the middle of the family, but in the hearts of these people, it is still an unattainable rich existence.

So when Miss Li reported her name, the old woman was stupid there, as if she didn't believe it, and couldn't speak.

After a long time, the old woman came back to her senses, turned her head at the top of her throat and shouted at the upper room: "Old man, come out quickly, our family has come to your guest today." ”

"What is the old woman yelling, what other distinguished guests can come to our small family?"

The sound came first, and the people came out later, and an old man who was standing on his back pushed open the wooden door of the upper room, and with the creaking sound of the door opening, he stepped over the door and walked out.

This old man seems to be because he is old, when he first came out, he only saw two figures, but he couldn't see his face clearly, and when he walked in front of Ye Feng and Li Caixue, he saw the good appearance of the two of them, especially Miss Li's elegant and noble temperament, he was taken aback, his body trembled, and he almost fell to the ground.

The old woman groaned, grabbed the old man, and scolded with a smile: "You old man, you are a person who has entered the earth." Seeing a beautiful girl, she is still so virtuous, this young lady is the eldest lady of the Li family in the city, we can't afford to be lazy. ”

The old man was first stunned, and then the old man blushed, and arched his hand: "Rude, rude, call the two distinguished guests laugh, let's go to the room to talk, Erhua." Koharu. The two of you pack up, hurry up and cook, take out the steamed haode meat two days ago and the wine that the old woman hid, and I will entertain your guests tonight. ”

The two young women in front of the east and west houses answered. Each took the work in his hand. Hurried towards the smoky kitchen.

Ye Feng and Li Caixue were flattered. This time, without waiting for Miss Li to speak, Ye Feng took the first step and said, "Uncle, don't bother." We don't eat, we just beg for water, and we leave as soon as we finish drinking. ”

The old man saw that Ye Feng was dressed as a familyman, and he was not polite at the moment, and said stiffly: "What the little brother said, don't you look down on our small civilian family." ”

Ye Feng was still waiting to explain, but Miss Li was in front of him, suppressed his words, and smiled at the old man: "Since the old man is hospitable and courteous, if we refuse, it will seem a little stingy, since this is the case, we will go in to rest for a while, but this dinner, we will not bother much, this time I came out for a day and did not return, if I go back late, I am afraid that my mother will worry." ”

The old man laughed twice, didn't speak again, and led Ye Feng and the others to the upper room.

Compared with the Li Mansion, this old Han family naturally looks very shabby, but although this house is small, the utensils are neat and spotless, and it feels quite fresh.

After sitting down, one of the old man's daughters-in-law hurriedly followed, served a pot of tea, put two freshly washed cups, and poured a cup of tea for Ye Feng and Li Caixue.

Ye Feng was a little thirsty, and he didn't care about any etiquette, so he picked it up and drank it, but as soon as he entered it, he spit it out with a hot sound.

Miss Li gave him a blank look, and smiled at the old man: "The servant is rude, and the old man is laughing."

The old man waved his hand and said: "Countrymen, they don't pay much attention to it, how can they talk about jokes." ”

Ye Feng and Li Caixue rested in the house for a while, and drank the tea slowly, finally quenching their hunger and thirst.

Li Caixue planned to leave, but the old man and his wife tried their best to stay, prepared wine and food, and had to leave Li Caixue and Ye Feng to eat at home.

Li Caixue saw that the old man and his wife were extremely enthusiastic, and it was difficult to refuse, so they had to stay and leave after dinner.

The old Han couple, as well as the old man's son and daughter-in-law and two grandchildren, sat around the table with Ye Feng and Li Caixue, which was also lively.

A few plates of vegetarian dishes, a bowl of stewed meat noodles, and two pots of old wine, this is the most hospitable meal in the homes of ordinary Han people, Li Caixue frowned a little when she ate, but Ye Feng ate very energetically, and the old man's son poured a few glasses of each other, talked and laughed, and became familiar with the father and son.

The old man's surname is Zhao, his name is Zhao Mingcheng, and he has three sons and a daughter, the eldest son and the second son are working outside the home, the younger son is farming at home, and the other daughter is running a business by herself.

What made Ye Feng feel admiration and surprise was that the old man not only sent his son to read and write, but also sent his daughter to the school, you must know that this Tianyuan secret realm is no different from the ancient feudal society of Huaguo, in ancient times, the difference between men and women is very large, in ancient China, women are not talented is virtue, in addition to the rich families have their own private schools, ordinary people will only let their daughters learn weaving, spinning and embroidery, and a few will spend money to send their daughters to study. According to the old man, his daughter is quite good at reading, and she is also a famous talented woman in the north of Chang'an City.

Ye Feng and Zhao Mingcheng's son Zhao Xiaobao drank vigorously, but Li Caixue only tasted a few sips occasionally, full of ladylike demeanor, but Zhao Mingcheng almost never moved his chopsticks, his eyes kept flashing on Ye Feng and Li Caixue's faces, his expression was unpredictable, and he seemed to have something unspeakable.

Ye Feng was curious why he never saw the old man's daughter, and immediately asked, "Uncle Zhao, where is your daughter?" Why can't I see her all the time? ”

"Yes, Uncle Zhao, I also want to meet your daughter?" Li Caixue was also very curious, and asked with Ye Feng.

As soon as these words came out, he saw that Zhao Mingcheng and Zhao Xiaobao changed their faces at the same time, especially Zhao Mingcheng, he had never drunk a sip of wine during this meal, but when he heard Ye Feng's question, he suddenly picked up the wine bottle and drank it all in one go.

Zhao Xiaobao was even more exaggerated, his body trembled, his hand holding the chopsticks couldn't help trembling, his face was flushed, looking at Ye Feng and Li Caixue, he wanted to speak and stopped.

Miss Li had no intention of disturbing Zhao Mingcheng's family for too long, but she rashly said that she was leaving, and felt embarrassed, so she asked: "Uncle, since I came in, I have seen you frowning, as if you have something on your mind, does the old man have anything to worry about?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng's eyes were straight, he gritted his teeth, stood up awkwardly, and knelt on the ground in front of Miss Li.

Miss Li was startled, hurriedly got up, grabbed the old man's arm, and tried to pull her up, but her strength was so weak that she couldn't pull the old man.

"Miss Li, you are a noble person from a big family, and the old man has something to ask for, if you don't agree, the old man will not be able to kneel for a long time."

Miss Li was soft-hearted, and she couldn't bear to ask an old man in his sixties and seventies to kneel on the ground, and immediately nodded and said, "Okay, if there is anything to talk about, I will just agree." ”

Zhao Mingcheng looked happy, staggered up from the ground, his body was a little shaky, holding on to the corner of the chair next to him, his face was pale, and it took a while to ease up.

In desperation, Ye Feng and Li Caixue could only temporarily give up the idea of saying goodbye and leaving immediately, sitting on the chair, and listening to Zhao Mingcheng tell the story that happened in their house.

"Miss Li, here's the thing, a few days ago, the old man had a sudden illness and urgently needed money for treatment, the two eldest sons were in a foreign country, and they couldn't get the news, my daughter Xiaoya and the youngest son Xiaobao suffered a lot for me, and the old man was old, how much could he live, but the children's filial piety, the old man couldn't bear to refuse, but he didn't know that because of this, he suffered a disaster for his daughter. For me, Ya'er ordered a batch of silk goods with the Xiao family's silk shop, sewing day and night, just to make more ready-to-wear clothes to sell to earn me some soup and medicine, but the price of silk is very expensive, we can't take out so much money, the eldest lady of the Xiao family thought that Ya'er was exquisite, so she made an exception to let Ya'er pay for the goods, and in the future she made money, and then made up for the silk goods. ”

"But a few days ago, the Xiao family's cloth warehouse suddenly lost a fire, after the fire, the Xiao family suddenly found Ya'er, with the arrears note, so that Ya'er must pay off the arrears within seven days, this is nothing, after the Xiao family's cloth warehouse fire, the entire Chang'an City's garment trade was in chaos, all the garment stores have stopped business, Ya'er's ready-to-wear clothes can't be sold, how can they repay the Xiao family's silk payment, but the Xiao family's people are urging tightly, if it is not on after seven days, they will sue the government and punish Ya'er, Miss Li, I know that after you are the king of Zhongshan, you must know the eldest lady of the Xiao family, I want to ask the young lady to help make peace with the eldest lady of the Xiao family, we are not not repaying this payment, as long as we sell the fields and houses for a few days, we will definitely be able to pay it back. ”

Li Caixue twisted her eyebrows and said, "Uncle, are you talking about Xiao Tianfeng of the Yelang Xiao family?" ”

Zhao Mingcheng nodded and said, "Yes, it is Xiao Tianfeng, the eldest lady of the Yelang Xiao family." (To be continued......)
