Keeping vigil inside the ancestral hall and celebrating the New Year with the ancestors is still one of the most important and indispensable things to do on Chinese New Year's Eve. Of course, such a thing has nothing to do with the female dependents. Even in the Li family, the female dependents have the qualifications to eat at the main table in the lobby, but in the family ancestral hall, they still have a long way to go if they want to obtain the same rights. On this point, Li Anguo did not compromise with Li Ze.

Therefore, in the end, only Li Anguo, Li Ze, as well as Li Yuan and Li Kang entered the ancestral hall to complete this matter. Li Dang entered as a representative of the side branch of his lineage.

In Daqingshan Villa, almost all the rooms are paved with earth dragons, but this ancestral hall is not paved, because it is extremely cold and damp, even if there are several braziers in the house, but the doors and windows that are closed all year round, and the environment that does not see sunlight in all seasons still makes it look gloomy.

Li Anguo personally poured lamp oil for the ever-bright lamps in front of the spirit tablets.

Li Ze's gaze fell on several of the tablets.

Several of them are new.

There are Mrs. Su's, and there are also their own mothers, Mrs. Wang.

"Mother didn't want to enter the Li family ancestral hall." He stretched out his hand and gently stroked Mrs. Wang's spirit card, and said. "Why don't you tell me and offer your mother's spirit card here?"

"The ancestral hall of the Wang family has long been wiped out. Do you want your mother to become a lonely ghost and have nothing to rely on? Of course, with your current ability, even if you build a temple for your mother, you can do it, but how are you going to let future generations comment on it? How do those who write history write? This is an obstacle to your mother's reputation. Li Anguo looked at Li Ze and said.

Li Ze couldn't help but fall silent.

"As for the Su family, no matter what you think, she and I still have a relationship after all, I hope you don't hold a grudge against her, in the end, she is just a woman in the backyard."

"Death is great!" Li Ze intercepted.

Li Anguo nodded with satisfaction.

At this time, Li Ze's eyes fell on the next Li Che's spirit card, and for a moment, Li Ze even felt that the words on the spirit card had turned into a somewhat hideous smile, looking at him and laughing.

With a cold snort in his heart, he took the lamp oil from Li Anguo's hand, and filled the lamp oil in front of Li Che with his own hands.

"I didn't bother to bird you when you were alive, what is so terrible about dying? Anyway, we can be regarded as brothers, and the greater my achievements in the future, you will be able to enjoy a longer and more grand fireworks shrine in this ancestral hall, and you will be worthy of you. ”

Looking at this scene, Li Anguo could only sigh.

Until now, how could Li Anguo not know that the death of his eldest son was inseparable from the second son in front of him, but he had been deceiving himself all along.

Li Dare Li Yuan burned the brazier vigorously, the room finally got a little hot, sitting on the thick soft cushion, Li Anguo was silent, but Li Ze set his eyes on Li Yuan, who was directly in front of him across a brazier.

Li Yuan couldn't help but shudder.

He was very afraid of this brother.

"Li Yuan, I heard that you are quite famous in Wuyi now!" Li Ze said lightly, "Lyrics and poems, wind and snow, and a good relationship with a cadre of Jiangnan scholars?" ”

Li Yuan said in a low voice, "Fourth brother, it's just some floating names, and they can't be taken seriously." ”

Li Ze smiled, "I read those poems of yours, and please return to the chapter, Mr. Gongsun commented on it, and the two gentlemen also thought it was not bad, and they could barely comment on it, and it was good that you could write like this at your age." ”

Li Yuan glanced up at Li Ze, a little joy appeared on his face, it was indeed a rare honor to be praised by people like Zhang Hui and Gongsun Changming.

But Li Ze's face changed immediately: "But what did you write?" It's all about the wind and snow, the wind and the autumn are sad, you are young, where do you have so much thought? Or are you worried about giving new words? ”

Li Yuan's face turned pale.

"Take a look at your results in this year's autumn class at Wuwei Academy? Except for literature, which won an excellent one, the rest are all middle and lower. Li Ze reprimanded, "Look at Jin Buchang again, he is younger than you, but he is much better than you in academics." The comparison between the two really makes me ashamed. ”

"My brother knows it's wrong." Li Yuan hung his head and said.

"I don't care if you are convinced or only oral, from next year, unless you get the best grade in Wuwei Academy, you are not allowed to write any more words, if you let me hear such a thing again, I will break your legs." Li Ze said arrogantly.

"Yes!"

"Don't think I'm trying to embarrass you." Li Ze slowed down slightly, "The Li family is a martial artist in our life, even if it is me, it is even like me, it is not easy to have a person like you who can still read, so I naturally want you to be able to read and become a famous person in the future, and become a scholar like Mr. Zhang Hui, rather than a frivolous lyricist." ”

"The younger brother must work hard to live up to the expectations of the fourth brother."

Li Ze nodded: "It's good if you understand." Your good look, I have already asked someone to send it to Mozhou to hand over to the second uncle, whether the second uncle is raised by you or someone else, it depends on the meaning of the second uncle. ”

Li Yuan raised his head, his eyes full of horror.

Li Dare on the side laughed out loud,

Even with a snap, Li Ze was hit the head.

"Isn't it funny? Li Kang, from the beginning of the year, if you dare to go to the Qinglou again, I will teach you to Li Mi to discipline. Li Ze snorted coldly, "Next year, I will ask my wife to find a family for you and find a powerful daughter-in-law to take care of you." ”

Li Dang immediately lowered his head.

Li Mi is a crazy woman, even Li Han dares to beat her, she counts the goods on the road, and if she falls into her hands, she will have to fade if she doesn't die.

"Never go again, never again." Li Dare said in a continuous voice.

"Well, I'm angry when I see you two. Get out of here, and don't get in my way. Li Ze waved his hand, trying to drive the two guys out of the ancestral hall like flies.

"To Li Yuan, don't go too far." Li Anguo sighed, "This kid is too smart, this is self-defilement!" ”

Li Ze snorted, "The most unseen thing is this kind of person, who is really smart but mistaken by cleverness." Why, is he worried that I will clean him up if I hold a grudge? How old is he? Do you need me to miss him? Also self-defiled, ha! Compared with Li Bo and Li Tao, he is far behind. What's the use of being smart? If you don't hit him hard, Puyu will turn into a stubborn stone. ”

"Do you really expect him to be successful?"

"Why not?" Li Ze looked at his father a little strangely, "The Li family's main sect is such a big cat, three or two kittens, Li Bo and Li Tao have been finalized, they are a martial artist, and they will be great in the future, and their talents are not half a star worse than those of Shi Zhuang, Tu Lichun, Li Rui, and Li De." It's hard to come up with a smart guy who is willing to read, and I naturally have to cultivate it with my heart, father, in the future, the usefulness of reading people will probably be greater. ”

"I see what you mean." Li Anguo nodded with satisfaction, "In this way, it can also reassure the second child." The younger brother and sister wanted to take Li away, but the second brother insisted on leaving him in Wuyi, just to make you angry, you don't have this mind, that's great, after all, it's a brother. ”

Li Ze was stunned, but he was a little angry.

"There's one more thing I have to tell you." Li Anguo was silent for a while, his face turned a little red, and he looked unspeakable for a long time.

"What's the matter?" Li Ze said absent-mindedly.

"That's it, it's Aunt Tao, yes, I'm happy." Li Anguo said in a low voice.

Li Ze raised his head suddenly, looked at his father with his mouth wide open, and blinked his eyes for a long time before saying, "Yes, is it yours?" ”

Li Anguo was suddenly annoyed and angry, and raised his hand to prepare to slap Li Ze, but his hand had just been raised, but he put it down helplessly, "You still have this ability." Aunt Tao didn't dare to tell you, so naturally she didn't dare to ask the doctor to take a look. ”

"After the New Year, let Jin Yuan come over to take a look." Li Ze was a little helpless, "It is naturally excellent to be able to add Ding to the family." Father thinks too much, let Aunt Tao raise the baby with peace of mind. ”

After midnight, Li Ze and Li Anguo completed the task of vigil and returned to their resting places.

Walking in the small courtyard with snowflakes, Li Ze saw that the small courtyard was still brightly lit, and the two figures were reflected in the light on the paper, still busy with something.

Pushing open the door, I saw where Liu Ruyan was sitting knitting a sweater, and Xia He was sitting beside her, pointing out from time to time.

Seeing Li Ze come in, both of them stood up.

Li Ze snorted and walked to the two of them, but he suddenly reached out and slapped the buttocks of the two of them hard, which frightened the two of them.

Seeing Li Ze sit down with a snort, Xia He covered his ass and stared at him with a puzzled expression, but Liu Ruyan lost the sweater needle and thread in his hand, and said angrily, "What kind of madness is this?" ”

"I want an extra brother or sister!" Li Ze said angrily.

Liu Ruyan and Xia He were stunned at first, and then laughed, "This is a good thing, why are you so angry?" ”

"How can you not be angry?" Li Ze snorted, "Just my father's body, at the age of Aunt Tao, I can still grow old clam and give birth to pearls, I am young, why is there no movement except for Yu'er?" Is it my problem, or is it yours? ”

The two women immediately blushed.

"Sister Xia He actually already has it." Liu Ruyan said suddenly.

"What, what?" Li Ze jumped up all of a sudden: "Why don't I know? How come I don't know anything? ”

He glared at Xia He, and two eyeballs seemed to jump out of his eyes.

"It's been too busy for a while, I thought it was just a temporary physical imbalance." Xia He said in a low voice, "Didn't Yan Jiu come two days ago?" I took the pulse and said it was a happy pulse. I haven't had time to tell you yet! ”
