Chapter 21: The Li Family

The old man came back to his senses, still looking at Li Chu, as if he was looking at others through her, and muttered, "Like, too similar." ”

The girl beside him said strangely, "Grandpa, what are you talking about?" ”

The young man thought for a while, and couldn't help but glance at Li Chu a few more times, she couldn't help but ......

The old man didn't answer her, walked straight up to Li Chu, and asked her a little excitedly, "Little girl, what's your name?" ”

Li Chu didn't know why, and looked at him suspiciously.

The Wan Qiyu brothers and sisters also looked at him vigilantly, for fear that he would be unfavorable to Li Chu.

The old man also seemed to realize his abruptness, and hurriedly reported to his home, "My surname is Li, and I am from the Li family in Pingyang City." ”

Li Chuchu chuckled, couldn't it be the Li family...... So he said quietly, "Mr. Li, my name is Li Chu." ”

Although he came to Pingyang City, Li Chu didn't plan to recognize the so-called relatives, but he didn't expect to meet someone from the Li family here.

Old Man Li was a little anxious, "Li, but is Li of the people of Li?" ”

Li Chu nodded, his expression unchanged.

"I take the liberty of asking, your mother's surname is Li, and her name is Yutan?" Old Man Li was very excited.

"Yes, but I haven't seen her for as long as I can remember." Li Chu still told the truth, she was not exclusive to the few people in front of her. As for the understanding of her mother, she still learned from Yun Mo's mouth, but Yun Mo never mentioned her mother's name.

"It's ......really her," the old man was very excited, "where is your mother?" Because he was so excited, he coughed violently.

"Grandpa," the young man patted him on the back and looked at Li Chu, who was supposed to be his cousin, "Miss Li, why don't we go in and talk about it in detail." ”

"Okay."

The brother and sister helped the old man back to the box, and Li Chu and a few people followed in, and the retinue of Loei closed the door and stood guard outside the door.

Looking at the old man Li who was still coughing, Li Chu stretched out his hand and said to him, "I know some medical skills, if you don't dislike it, I'll show you." ”

"Okay." Old Man Li stretched out his hand and put it on the table, still looking at Li Chu carefully.

Li Chu carefully checked his pulse, and after a while, he knew it in his heart, and said, "The old gentleman is in good health, so it's not a big deal." "I just choked on it.

Old Man Li drank the level and recovered his mood, and then eased up, "How old are you?" ”

"Seventeen."

"You look a lot like her." Old Man Li has already decided that Li Chu is the flesh and blood of his youngest daughter, "I am your grandfather." Now that you're back, come home with us. ”

Li Chumo, is it so sloppy? You don't need a blood test or anything? Aren't you afraid that she is a liar?

The young man saw her hesitation and said, "Grandpa, my cousin has only met us for the first time, so you might as well let her get used to it first." ”

Old man Li also felt that he was too anxious, and it was common for his granddaughter to be afraid of life, so he looked at the people around Li Chu, two young men and women stood behind her, they seemed to be followers, and their martial arts were not weak, and they could have such an outstanding person by their side, and their granddaughter's identity seemed to be not low.

Suddenly, his eyes fixed on Xiao Douding, and he was shocked, could this be his granddaughter's child? "Is he?"

Li Chu said lightly, "I picked it up on the side of the road." ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The girl was very interested in Xiao Douding, "Sister, my name is Li Jinyu, can I hug him?" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ OK. ”

Li Jinyu carefully took the child from Wan Jining's hand, her movements were a little rusty, and Xiao Douding was not afraid of life, and looked at her curiously with big black eyes.

"It's so cute." Li Jinyu was fascinated by him.

Looking at his unreliable sister, the young man was helpless and introduced himself to Li Chu, "My name is Li Jinxuan. ”

Li Chu bowed slightly to him and said politely, "Young Master Li." ”

"Chu'er, this is your cousin and cousin, they are all brothers and sisters, don't be so rusty."

"Okay." Li Chu's reaction was still very flat, and he was not surprised to see his relatives.

Old Man Li didn't expect Li Chu to react like this, and the scene of recognizing relatives was a bit embarrassing.

"Where does Chu'er live?"

"East Main Street."

"How do you live there, Chu'er should go home with us, the Li family is your home." East Street is naturally not as good as their Li family.

"No need, I'm living there pretty well, and I'm used to it." Li Chu hurriedly refused.

Wan Qiyu's brothers and sisters breathed a sigh of relief, if the master mother came out and was abducted, the owner of the village would have no way to explain when he came back.

Old Man Li also realized that he was too anxious, and Chu'er knew that he still had relatives, and he must not be used to it, so he should give her some time to adapt to her new identity.

So he said thoughtfully, "Then tomorrow my grandfather will ask your cousin to take you home to meet your uncle and them?" ”

Looking at Old Man Li's expectant gaze, Li Chu couldn't bear to refuse, "Okay." "It's just to see each other anyway.

"Okay, okay, then I'll go back and tell your uncle the good news first."

Since the disappearance of the youngest daughter, Loei has never stopped searching for her whereabouts, and although there is no news of the youngest daughter, now that the granddaughter has returned, it is a great joy.

Li Jinyu reluctantly returned Xiaodouding to Wan Jining, Li Jinxuan couldn't help but twitch when she saw this, there were also children in the house, but I didn't see that she liked to play with them.

The three grandfathers and grandsons said goodbye to Li Chu, and Li Chu politely sent them out.

Watching them leave, Li Chuchu also made waves in his heart, this is his relatives, he doesn't seem to reject them, but he is just a little uncomfortable.

Li Chu took a deep breath, calmed down, and said to Wan Qiyu's brothers and sisters, "Let's go back too." ”

When Li Chu and the others returned to their residences, Yun Mo had not come back yet, but Xia Ziheng had come over, these two goods were rain or shine, and they had to report here every day.

At first, he took Xiaobai with him every day, but then Xiaobai was reluctant to follow him back, so he couldn't pull it away, so he had to let it stay.

Xia Ziheng was looking for Li Chu today to discuss how to teach Murong Yu a lesson, and Murong Yu would have to live in the mansion for a few days. Fortunately, she has been quite peaceful in the past few days, but even if she wants to make a move on Wan Jining, Wan Jining is not easy to bully.

Everyone unanimously decided to wait for her to leave before doing anything, otherwise it would be difficult for her to explain what happened to her house, and maybe she would cause trouble for her father.

Li Chu asked Xia Ziheng, "How much do you know about the Li family?" ”

"Senior sister, are you talking about the Li family of the four major families? What does this do, you ask? Have they offended you? Xia Ziheng didn't know Li Chu's life experience, and when he saw that she suddenly mentioned the Li family, he asked like this.

"No, just ask." Li Chu casually ravaged Xiaobai's ears.

"The Li family and our Xiahou family are old rivals, and the relationship is not good, senior sister, what do you want to know?"

The relationship between the two families seems to be okay on the surface, but behind the scenes, they are stumbling on each other.

Li Chu glanced at him, old rival, so counted, the two of us are also opposites.

"Has anything happened to the Li family?" Miss Li's disappearance should be known to many people.

"Big deal...... Think about it. Nothing happened recently, but two or three years ago, I had a cousin who fell in love with the third young master of the Li family, and asked people to talk about the matchmaker, but in the end they didn't get married, and the two families had a very unpleasant quarrel at that time. ”

What's the big deal?

"Is there anything a little bit older, like a dozen years ago?"

"More than ten years ago, I was young." Xia Ziheng thought about it, and suddenly said mysteriously, "There is really one thing, I heard that more than ten years ago, about seventeen or eight years ago, the youngest daughter of the head of the Li family disappeared, oh, not the current head of the family, but the head of the Li family." As for the reason for the disappearance, the Li family is silent, and I don't know the specific situation. ”

The youngest daughter of the Li family is probably talking about her mother Li Yutan, it seems that things were not simple back then, otherwise the Li family would not have kept their mouths shut.

Xia Ziheng felt strange, how could Li Chu care about the affairs of the Li family, "Why is Senior Sister interested in the Li family?" ”

Li Chu looked at him with a smile, "Oh, it's nothing, it's just that I'm going to Li's house tomorrow as a guest." ”

What the? Visiting Li's house? "What are you going to do?" Suddenly thinking of something, Xia Ziheng almost jumped up, "Li, your surname is Li, should you be ......" Miss of the Li family, but I haven't heard that there is a young lady in the Li family, isn't she the illegitimate daughter of the Li family? Xia Ziheng's mind instantly filled up a lot of things.

Li Chu raised his eyebrows, "Hmm, we're mortal enemies." ”

Xia Ziheng didn't believe it, "Are you really from the Li family?" ”

"Yes."

"Is that or isn't it?" Xia Ziheng was very entangled, what is the answer.

Li Chu didn't answer him, and let him scratch his liver and lungs there.

Yun Mo came back before dinner, and during the meal, Li Chu told him about meeting the Li family during the day.

"Do you want to go back to Li's house?"

"Hmm. Let's take a look, maybe there are clues to investigate my mother's disappearance in the first place. ”

"Okay, I'll accompany you."

"Hmm." With the great god Yun Mo here, there is nothing to worry about.

The next day, Li Jinxuan came to pick up Li Chu early in the morning.

Seeing Li Chu and Yun Mo coming out together, seeing their intimate behavior, Li Jinxuan opened her mouth and asked, "Cousin, who is this?" ”

Cousin? Heh, it's really affectionate, Yun Mo frowned.

"My fiancΓ©." For Yun Mo's identity, it is natural for Li Chu to introduce it now.

Li Jinxuan was a little surprised, she didn't expect that this cousin already had a fiancΓ©.

"It turned out to be my future sister-in-law, and I was Chu'er's cousin Li Jinxuan."

"Yun Mo." Seeing that he knew him so well, and for the sake of Ah Li's relatives, Yun Mo was still saving face.

"Grandpa asked me to pick up my cousin and talk about it, please." Li Jinxuan personally lifted the curtain of the car and invited them to get into the carriage.

Li Jinxuan is a very gentleman, and he looks quite decent, Li Chu has a good impression of him, and he is also a little more curious and expectant about the people of the Li family.

After walking for a while, the carriage stopped in front of a rather imposing mansion, with two majestic stone lions at the door, and a gilded plaque of "Loei" hanging above the vermilion lacquer gate, which was about the same size as Xiahou's mansion.

After getting out of the car, an old man who looked like a housekeeper was waiting at the door, Li Jinxuan greeted him and took them into the house.

The head of the Li family was already waiting for them in the main hall, as well as the head of the Li family, his wife, and children.

If it weren't for the fear of scaring his granddaughter, the old master of the Li family would like to call everyone in the mansion and let them all come to see his granddaughter.

"I've seen Old Man Li, the head of the Li family, and Mrs. Li." I had seen Li Ming and his wife at the birthday banquet in Xiahou Mansion before, and as soon as they took a look, Li Chu recognized them.

"Why is Chu'er still so outside, I am your grandfather, this is your uncle and aunt." Old Man Li looked at his granddaughter expectantly, waiting for her to call him grandfather.

"Grandpa, uncle, aunt." couldn't bear to disappoint him, so Li Chu had no choice but to call them.

"Cousin, and me." Li Jinyu couldn't sit still, she liked this cousin very much.

"Cousin Jinyu."

It's all called, and I don't care about one or two more.

After Old Man Li was excited, he asked, "Who is this?" It's not that he didn't notice Yun Mo, but his granddaughter is more important. The others also looked at Yun Mo, seeing that he was handsome and extraordinary, so they were all curious about his identity.

"This is my fiancΓ©, Yun Mo."

Yun Mo bowed slightly to a few people.

Old Man Li was shocked, this granddaughter had just recognized it and was about to be abducted? That's not going to work! Thinking so, I wanted to find fault with him, looked around, and found that he didn't seem to have anything wrong except for his indifferent expression?

"Grandpa." Yun Mo naturally shouted at Old Man Li.

Who is your grandfather, Old Man Li snorted softly in his heart, don't think about abducting my granddaughter so easily.

"This is a little caution on the part of the juniors." Yun Mo took a gift box from Wan Qiyu's hand.

Old Man Li took the gift, and he didn't want to bribe me, but even though he thought about it, he still opened the gift box, and the next moment he was surprised, "Qiongzhi nectar!" ”

As soon as the box was opened, a faint aroma of wine overflowed, Qiongzhi manna is extremely rare, the brewing process is extremely complicated, and the required materials are also difficult to find, the old man Li is addicted to wine, but he has never tasted the legendary Qiongzhi nectar, which is a big regret for him, and now there is a whole bottle of Qiongzhi manna in front of him, how can he not be surprised.

Li Chu and Yun Mo glanced at each other, although they didn't know what this Qiongzhi manna was, but this guy would do what he liked.

The corners of Yun Mo's mouth hooked slightly, and he smiled at her.

This Qiongzhi nectar was successfully brewed by Baili Hao, and he was reluctant to dig it out and drink it when he was buried in the ground. The last time he went up the mountain, Yun Mo dug it out, and now it just came in handy, the poor old man didn't know anything about it, if he knew, maybe he would run over and fight with Yun Mo.

After receiving the gift, Old Man Li suddenly became kind to Yun Mo, and it was not easy to find fault with him anymore.

"Okay, my grandson-in-law is a talent, and Chu'er is a match made in heaven, and Chu'er has a good vision." Old Man Li now looks at Yun Mo everywhere, and praises him without hesitation.

Li Chu was speechless, this grandfather is unreliable, and he sold his granddaughter for a little benefit? Ahem, although she sold herself a long time ago.

For a while, everyone was happy, the old man Li couldn't put it down while holding the Qiongzhi nectar, Li Ming looked at his father, and could only smile helplessly at Li Chu and the others, "It's not too early, let's go to dinner first." ”

At the dinner table, Old Man Li drank a few more glasses because he was happy, of course, what he drank was not Qiongzhi nectar, he was reluctant to drink it, he wanted to keep it for himself to taste slowly.

After dinner, Li Jinxuan's brother and sister took Li Chu and Yun Mo to the courtyard where her mother used to live to rest.

Stepping into the door, you will see that there are a lot of flowers and plants planted in the yard, the path paved with stones is connected with each other, and stone tables and stone benches are built between the flowers and plants, which should be used to taste tea and enjoy flowers.

"After my aunt disappeared, my grandfather kept people taking care of this place, keeping it as it was, and waiting for my aunt to come back." Li Jinxuan introduced them as she walked.

"Cousin, I'll come to play with you later." Li Jinyu pulled Li Chu enthusiastically.

Li Chu nodded.

"Then we'll go first."

"Okay."

After they left, Li Chu looked at the entire courtyard, which was well decorated, quiet and elegant, in line with her aesthetics.

"After my parents died, Aunt Li took us to live in a small village, but suddenly one day a group of mysterious people found the village, Aunt Li hid me in the straw, took you to lead them away, and then disappeared." Yun Mo took the initiative to talk about the events of the year.

Li Yutan is a good friend of Yun Mo's parents, but what happened back then, Yun Mo is not very clear, although he has remembered it at the time, but his parents have never told him about them.

"What about those mysterious people back then, who are they?"

"Over the years, I have found some clues, which seem to have something to do with the Song family." The killers of the Moon Cutting Tower were also involved, but they didn't know who they were working for.

"The Song family, the Song family of the four major families?"

"Well, the Song family has been moving frequently during this time." The Song family has always been very low-key, and there has been no action on the surface over the years, so Yun Mo didn't notice the Song family.

"Then let's go and meet this Song family."

……

In the afternoon, the old master of the Li family specially instructed Li Jinxuan to gather the young people in the mansion and let them have a good relationship with Li Chu.

Therefore, when Li Chu and Yun Mo followed Li Jinyu to the back garden, it was bustling, and the young masters and young ladies gathered in groups to chat.

Seeing that the protagonist was coming, everyone stopped and looked at Li Chu curiously. Because the old master of the Li family has spoken, let them get along with her, it seems that the old man attaches great importance to this young lady.

Seeing that there was a young son beside Li Chu, the two of them stood together with excellent looks and compared them all. For a while, all kinds of eyes looked at them, some envious, curious, some jealous and even disdainful.

Li Chu didn't care about everyone's eyes, only smiled faintly.

Li Jinyu introduced their identities to the brothers and sisters, and when she heard that this cousin had been married, she was disappointed, envious, and more jealous.

No matter what they think in their hearts, no one shows it, everyone in the mansion is a human spirit, what to do and what not to do, they are still measured.

However, there are also those who are not measured.

"Hey, everyone's here? I'm not late. A delicate young lady came over with a maid, her expression was a little arrogant, it was Li Jinyu's cousin Li Jinshu.
