After Li Jie left Fengyang City, he almost rushed all the way to Dingyuan County, he was a traverser, and he didn't have any concern for this era, but it was the family affection between the Li couple and Di'er that made Li Jie realize that he belonged to this era, and let him slowly integrate into this era, so he had long regarded himself as the real Li Jie.

However, Li Jie came to Dingyuan County and suddenly found that he didn't know the door of his hometown at all, but this is not to blame Li Jie, let alone him, even if the last Li Jie came back, it is estimated that he does not know the family, because since Li Shanchang followed Lao Zhu to fight the world, most of his children and grandchildren also live in Jinling, and only some slaves are sent to take care of it in his hometown, and few people will come back.

Fortunately, Li Shanchang's name is almost unknown to everyone in Dingyuan County, and if you ask someone to inquire about it, you will know where the Li family's old house is, but when these people learned that Li Jie was going to the Li family's old house, they all showed shocked looks, because since Li Shanchang's downfall, few people dared to go to the Li family.

Knowing the location of his hometown, Li Jie also beat his horse and galloped over again, speaking of which Li Shanchang was raided at the beginning, but he only copied the Korean Mansion in the capital, and the ancestral house and some ancestral fields on the hometown side were left, and although Li Shanchang's family was gone, the Li family was still a big family in Dingyuan County and had a lot of influence in the county.

Soon Li Jie came to the door of the Li family's ancestral house, only to see that this ancestral house covers a large area, and the houses inside are also very new, and some can even see traces of repair, because when Li Shanchang was alive, he also thought about returning to his hometown because of Li Zhu's persuasion, so he sent someone to repair the old house, but unfortunately the old house was repaired, and his death time came.

Li Jie dismounted and personally knocked on the door, he didn't inform anyone before he came, just to surprise his parents and Di'er.

Soon I heard a footstep from inside, and then an old servant opened the door, squinted his cloudy eyes and looked at Li Jie before asking, "Who are you looking for?" ”

"My name is Li Jie, are they at home with my father?" Li Jie smiled and reported the door.

The old servant was also stunned when he heard Li Jie's name, and then opened the door with a look of surprise and shouted: "The young master is back, please come in quickly, I will report to the master!" ”

The old servant said that he let Li Jie into the house, and then hurriedly ran to the inner house to report the news, but because of his age, the old servant ran very hard, which made Li Jie also worried that he must not fall.

After the old servant ran into the inner house, Li Jie took a look at the ancestral house, because it had just been repaired, and the servants often took care of it, so the whole ancestral house looked quite tidy, and a small garden was built in the front yard, and the flowers and plants in it were blooming.

Bypassing the small garden in front, the back is the living room for entertaining guests, there are a few servants who are cleaning, and they are also stunned when they see Li Jie walking in, the old servant just now only cares about reporting the news, and does not inform others of Li Jie's identity at all.

However, soon I heard a rush of footsteps in the inner house, and then I saw Li Zhu and Mrs. Li walking briskly, and when I saw Li Jie, I also showed a look of ecstasy and shouted: "Jie'er, why are you here!" ”

Mrs. Li stepped forward and hugged her son, tears couldn't help but flow, Li Zhu also stepped forward to look at Li Jie, his eyes were slightly red, but he was embarrassed to be too out of shape in front of his son, so he could only take a long breath to ease his emotions.

At this moment, I heard a burst of cheerful footsteps from the inner house, and then I saw Di'er trotting over with her skirt, and when she saw Li Jie, she also screamed, and suddenly jumped on Li Jie and shouted: "Brother, I want to kill you!" ”

Li Jie also picked up the flute in one hand and laughed happily, at this time Aunt Zhao also ran over from behind, and saw Li Jie also wiped her tears, the family used to share hardships, so the feelings have long been inseparable from each other.

Finally waited until Mrs. Li stopped crying, and Di'er also excitedly asked Li Jie for gifts, which made Li Jie laugh, and then ordered people to send all the gifts, these gifts were divided into several parts, including Zhu Biao's gift, in addition to Liu Ying's father and son's preparation, Li Jie's own purchase, and even some were prepared by Li Qi and his wife.

"Your fifth uncle, are they okay?" Li Zhu saw the gift sent by Li Qi and his wife and immediately asked Li Jie, Li Qi and his wife were arranged to live in Jiangpu, and they couldn't leave easily, Li Zhu couldn't rest assured of him, so he once told Li Jie to go to Li Qi and his wife to walk around more.

"The fifth uncle's health is not very good, since he moved to Jiangpu, he has been seriously ill, and now although he is well, he is still a little weak, and the imperial doctor said that he is depressed, so it is not easy to treat." Li Jie sighed and said honestly, as long as he is in the capital, he will often take time to go to Li Qi's place to walk around, and Li Qi has specially prepared a lot of gifts for Li Jie to pass on to Li Zhu and his wife.

"Alas, there has been a big change in the family, of course your fifth uncle can't think about it, let alone him, your father often has nightmares!" At this time, Mrs. Li also sighed when she heard this, and said, only the two of them survived in the Li family, and Li Jie's family was fine, after all, they were not very close to Li Shanchang, but Li Qi was Li Shanchang's favorite son, and he would definitely not be able to easily get out of this kind of blow.

"Father, the fifth uncle's physical condition is still secondary, and the key is that his spirit is also very decadent, if it continues like this, I am worried that the fifth uncle will really have problems!" Li Jie also congratulated Li again at this time.

"What then?" Li Zhu also panicked when he heard this, and grabbed Li Jie's arm with both hands and asked.

"Father, I think the best way is for you to personally persuade the fifth uncle, it is best to accompany him through this most difficult time, after all, you are his brother, with you by your side, the fifth uncle will definitely feel better!" Li Jie thought for a while before he spoke, he actually wanted his family to go back to the capital, after all, it was not a way to separate the two places.

I saw that after Li Zhu heard Li Jie's suggestion, he turned his head and exchanged glances with Mrs. Li, and then nodded and said, "Okay, then let's find a time to go back to the capital, and then persuade the fifth brother!" ”

"Great!" Li Jie also slapped his thigh excitedly when he heard this, but then he felt a little strange, because he thought that if he wanted to persuade his father to return to the capital, he might have to take some words, but he didn't expect him to agree so easily?

"Yikes! My favorite dim sum! At this time, Di'er, who was rummaging for gifts, suddenly screamed, picked up a big bag of snacks and snacks and jumped and jumped, Aunt Zhao seemed to think that Di'er was too rude to rummage through gifts, and at this time she also wanted to snatch the bag in her hand, but this girl just didn't let go, and Aunt Zhao, who was angry, blushed.

Li Jie also laughed when he saw Di'er's appearance, and then came to the gift pile, and then took out these gifts to his parents and Aunt Zhao, in addition, he also prepared a lot of red envelopes, and then called the housekeeper and asked him to distribute them to the people in the family, which also made the people in the family full of praise for Li Jie, the young master who had just returned, and Mrs. Li also specially ordered people to buy wine and meat to improve the food for the people in the family.

After the gift was distributed, Li Zhu pulled Li Jie to sit down and chat, Mrs. Li and Aunt Zhao also cooked in person with great interest, to make a sumptuous reception banquet for Li Jie, Di'er had already held her snacks and snacks and ran away, this girl is a hamster, as long as there is something delicious, she will definitely secretly hide it and eat alone.

Li Zhu first asked Li Jie about some details of Li Qi and his wife, and then asked Li Jie about his previous trip to Goryeo and the Wa Kingdom, but Li Zhu only knew that Li Jie went to sea, and did not know where he went, let alone what Li Jie did overseas.

Knowing that his son became an earl at a young age, this made Li Zhu even more happy, and then he asked about Liu Ying's father and son, as well as some situations in the court, and Li Jie also answered them one by one.

Mrs. Li and Aunt Zhao cooked in person, and soon made a sumptuous banquet, and Di'er was also mentioned in the front hall by Aunt Zhao, and then the family sat together lively and chatted while eating, Li Jie also felt a little trance, he remembered that the last time the family ate like this, it was the night before his parents were ready to leave Beijing, and he saw off his parents at home that day.

"Jie'er, you are already an earl now, when will Your Majesty let you marry the princess?" Mrs. Li asked very eagerly at this time, since Zhu Yuning saved their family regardless of their safety last time, Mrs. Li has identified this daughter-in-law, and she is even more anxious than Li Jie to marry Zhu Yuning.

"I can't say for sure, but in my estimation, after I accompany the prince on a tour, His Majesty should let us get married, right?" Li Jie thought for a moment and replied.

Li Jie had also tested Lao Zhu's tone before, but Lao Zhu was not leaking, fortunately Zhu Biao was very talkative, and Zhu Biao also intended to let Li Jie and Zhu Yuning get married early, after all, according to custom, Li Jie and Zhu Yuning have also reached the age of marriage.

"That's great, it seems that we really have to go back early to prepare, and you must be kind to the princess after marriage, don't neglect others, a woman like her who is affectionate and righteous can't be found with a lantern!" Mrs. Li was first overjoyed when she heard this, and then told Li Jie again.

"I know, don't worry, mother!" Li Jie nodded helplessly, as long as Zhu Yuning is mentioned, his mother will definitely tell him so, and he will not even forget to write a letter to ask him a few words.

"By the way, since I'm back, do you want to go to the ancestral tomb to worship?" Li Jie looked at Li Zhu again at this time and asked.

Unexpectedly, after Li Zhu heard Li Jie's words, an embarrassed look flashed on his face, but he quickly returned to normal and said: "The worship must be worshipped, but there is no need to be in such a hurry, you have just come back, it is better to rest for two days before going too late!" ”
