In Feijing Lane of Baidi City, the carriage stopped safely, and the village jumped out of the carriage, took out the ebony stool and put it away, and then opened the door, lifted the curtain, and waited respectfully.

Everyone waited with bated breath, a cup of tea, there was finally movement in the car, Yuan Huaisheng took Muraichi's arm, walked down slowly, straightened the sleeves of the brocade robe, and stood in front of everyone.

The phoenix feathers on the shoulders glistened in the blazing sun. Just standing like this, the luxurious aura on his body is naturally revealed.

"The Liu family welcomes Han Gongzi!"

The people of the Liu family behind the weeping willow bowed respectfully, and then made a forked hand salute.

"The Liu family is really clear, let's go in together."

Yuan Huaisheng laughed lightly, and then took the first step, and everyone saw him enter the door, so they followed.

The middle-aged man walking beside Yuan Huaisheng is the head of the Liu family's generation, Liu Qinghang's eldest son, Liu Lingzhi.

"Childe has worked hard all the way, although it is my father's birthday, I didn't expect Childe to come, it is really a family member!"

Yoo Ling-sik greeted the person as he greeted him with a smile and spoke.

Since the establishment of the Liu family, what has been paid attention to is honesty and benevolence, kindness and charity, etiquette teaching, and poetry and books.

Therefore, although the Liu family is rich, it is definitely not wealthy. Although the courtyard is spacious, the interior scenery is simple and elegant. Inside and out, there seems to be a faint scent of ink and paper.

"Where is Mr. Liu?"

After passing the partition door, everyone saw several bluestone paths that extended in all directions.

Liu Lingzhi hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed to the path in front of him, and replied respectfully: "My father has been waiting in Liutang for a long time. ”

About a quarter of an hour, after a blooming two-leaf golden velvet chrysanthemum, everyone came to the willow hall.

The whole main hall is made of ebony, and there is a long corridor before entering the hall, and the four ebony pillars supporting the corridor are densely engraved with the rules of the Liu family. The pen is restrained, but it is difficult to hide the edge hidden in the depths.

Walking through the corridor, I finally saw an ebony plaque with "Liutang" written on it, which was written in silver powder, shining with a faint fluorescence, and if you didn't look closely, you really couldn't see it.

"Miss, this Liu family is really strange, the plaque at the door is the Liu House, and the plaque in the main hall is the Liu Hall, which is too simple."

Nan Ke approached Mo Yanxi and whispered. The group was quiet and did not speak, so the voice in the crowd was not so small.

"Miss Nan Ke doesn't know, grandpa and his old man think that it's just a matter of talking to outsiders, and it's better to be casual in your own home. The willow house and willow hall do not have those bells and whistles, so it is more friendly and easy-going. ”

Liu Tangyue naturally heard this, and instead of being angry, she spoke out to answer Nan Ke's doubts.

Mo Yanxi hurriedly bowed her body and said with a smile: "Nan Ke is really connived up, and she doesn't restrain her on weekdays, but now she is unobtrusive regardless of the occasion, and she speaks behind her back, after I go back, I will definitely teach her well!" Please don't blame Miss Liu. ”

Liu Tangyue shook her head and said with a smile: "Everyone will say rhetoric, anyone can do it if they obey the rules and etiquette, no matter how good these superficial efforts are, if the heart does not go anywhere, what is the use?" Miss Nanke is really temperamental, natural and comfortable, nothing. ”

Nan Ke also realized his mistake and hurriedly said: "Miss Liu, I was abrupt, I didn't say anything about the quality of people behind my back, I remembered it, and I would never do it again!" ”

As he spoke, Nan Ke raised his finger and faced the sky, with sincere affection.

Liu Tangyue laughed out loud: "I just like your true temperament, and I don't pretend." Alright, let's go inside. ”

The group entered the willow hall, and there was a white-haired old man in white clothes standing upright. Although he looks lean, his waist is very straight, and the folds on his face can't stop his eyes. The old man does not see the old state, the wind and bones are unparalleled, and he looks at it with poetry and books. This is the Hundred Emperors City, the great Confucian Liu Qinghang, who is admired by the people of the world.

Liu Qinghang saw Yuan Huaisheng walk in, so he respectfully set up his position and prepared to salute.

"Liu Qing of the Liu family welcomes Han Gongzi!"

Yuan Huaisheng hurriedly stepped forward, holding Liu Qinghang's hands with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth: "What is Mr. Liu doing?" Your birthday is in a few days, so it stands to reason that you should come and see you. ”

"The old man is honestly afraid, you are still thinking about the old man's birthday, it is really a blessing from the Liu family."

"Where is Mr. Liu, you are my brother and me's teacher, students visit the teacher, this is a matter of course, what does it have to do with the Liu family, but my brother is really busy, so I brought a birthday gift over, I don't know if Liu Lao likes it."

Yuan Huaisheng said as he led Liu Qing to sit on the main seat, and after the two sat opposite each other, the group of people standing sat down in turn.

Liu Qinghang sighed when he heard the birthday ceremony, his eyes were red, and he wiped his tears with his long sleeves before he said: "Thank you Fourth Prince, this sword was handed down by the ancestors, and it was lost in my hands. ”

"This is wrong, this sword originally belongs to the Liu family, no matter when, it belongs to the Liu family, and this will not change no matter how long it has passed. I just don't know if Mr. Liu is so curious, why is this sword in our hands? ”

Liu Qing nodded when he heard this, and said, "I want to hear it in detail." ”

"This sword was originally in the hands of the Liu family's previous generation of Liu Zibai Liu, and the world knows that in addition to the ancient and modern Liu family, they have an incomparable talent, and they also love the way of swordsmanship. The Liu family's Juming sword, which has been passed down from generation to generation, has never been opened before him. ”

"The sword given by the ancestors was originally just for the purpose of using one's own body, and the Liu family has been from literature for generations, and has never had the idea of drawing a sword."

Liu Qing stroked his white beard and said with a determined gaze.

Yuan Huaisheng chuckled: "Naturally, the Liu family has been good for generations, and all their minds are spreading the Confucian style. However, the Liu family has something to do with my ancestors, and this matter is too far away to say, and the grandfather and uncle in the family have passed away one after another, and now only a few of our brothers are left. When I was a child, I only heard a few words from the older generation. It is said that when the Liu family was young and vigorous, they once asked for a sword on the main hall of my house, and the Liu family was benevolent and righteous, and they could not kill, but they were just a group of lambs, and it was even worth his old man's fight. ”

Hearing this, Liu Qinghang clenched his fists, then slapped the table violently, and said angrily: "Uncle is dull, obsessed with the world in the book, like a monk far away from the mortal world, the first time he was born, he always behaved a little differently from ordinary people, and he didn't have bad intentions, and asked Han Gongzi not to blame." ”

"Mr. Liu is serious, everyone Liu has a very good relationship with my ancestors, how can he have a suspicion because of such a trivial matter, but this sword is very sharp, although it can hurt others, it can also hurt yourself. The ancestor was afraid that the Liu family would hurt him, so he took it upon himself to put the sword of the Liu family at home. When I left the house, my brother lamented that he couldn't hide the famous sword of the Liu family for generations because of one person's selfishness. It is already a sin to be alone for so long. specially ordered me to return it, presumably the Liu family will make good use of it. ”

Liu Qing got up when he heard this, and so did everyone in the Liu family.

"Please rest assured that this sword is in our hands, and it is definitely only used for the sake of family style, and we will definitely not draw the sword!"

After a while, Yuan Huaisheng rubbed his forehead, and said with a somewhat embarrassed smile: "These days are very busy, the road is full of wind and rain, it is too tired, today I see that Mr. Liu is still strong, I will rest assured, stay in a few days is your birthday, I will definitely come and drink a few cups with the old man, it is late today, I will not bother." ”

Liu Qing hung a few words, Yuan Huaisheng refused one by one, and took Mo Yanxi and others out of the Liu family's house.

Out of Feijing Lane, Mo Yanxi stopped, stood outside the carriage, and said respectfully: "Ninth Master, because there are some small businesses of the Mo family in Hundred Emperor City, since I am here, I want to go and see, I wonder if the Ninth Master can make it convenient?" ”

"Go ahead, drunk ten miles is not a small business, if you have ambitions to become bigger, in Yuanling can be regarded as a good place to settle down, to fly high, the wings still have to be harder."

When Shen Shi, everyone parted ways, and heard Ying Niang say that the drunken ten miles were opened in Lixing Lane, and that land boundary was the most prosperous place in the entire Hundred Emperor City. It was still early, so Mo Yanxi and the others thought about walking over, and on the way, they could enjoy the customs of the Hundred Emperor City.

And the willow house, in a side courtyard piled with all kinds of strange-shaped wood, Liu Tangyue is carefully carving the small wooden figure in his hand with a knife.

Xiao Rou came in with tea, her face was not very happy, and she pouted and said, "Obviously, it is our family's ancestral sword that has been returned, I just went to pour tea, and I found that everyone had a solemn face, as if they owed a lot of money to others." ”

Liu Tangyue's eyes narrowed slightly, blew off the sawdust on the villain, and snorted coldly: "It's a blessing or a curse, I can't tell, I heard a big drama in Liutang today, Xiaorou, have you heard of Liu confessing?" ”

Xiao Rou frowned, thought for a long time, and said with a flash of inspiration in her mind: "I remember, it seems to be my grandfather, but then I don't know what I did, and I was removed from the name of the Liu family, and I haven't heard of it again." ”

"He is a powerful man, in ancient times, Duke Cao coerced the Son of Heaven to order the princes, and this Liu family is a person who threatened the first emperor with a sword."

Xiao Rou was taken aback when she heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Miss, in this way, then Han Gongzi is here..."

Liu Tangyue shook her head: "It's just a reminder, after all, the Liu family is quite peaceful, and it also plays a great role in consolidating the royal power, as long as the Liu family does not fall, then the court and the martial arts will coexist in harmony, but as he said, this is a double-edged sword, hurting others can also hurt yourself, you go to check and see if someone in the Liu family has done something out of the ordinary recently." ”

It was a matter of the survival of the Liu family, and Xiaorou did not delay and hurried to go.

Liu Tangyue put the carved little figure on the table, wiped her hands, took a sip of tea, picked up a biography and read it.

The villain on the table is vivid, especially the long sword in his hand, which is even more intriguing.
