Although Li Yuanwai is known as the richest man in the capital, no matter how rich he is, his identity is still a businessman, and under the social system with a deep hierarchy, the social status of businessmen is actually inferior to that of a peasant in the overall sense.

But in fact, in this materialistic society, money can make the devil grind, so the social status of the merchants has far surpassed that of the peasants under the operation of capital.

It's just that in some things that need to consider the political background, such as scientific research, filial piety, etc., the identity of a farmer is more advantageous than that of a businessman.

However, it is only to overpower the peasant class, and then the upper taxi, as the name suggests, are those who are officials in the imperial court, the social status of this social group is unshakable, and it is useless to use more money, if the businessman wants to make some changes in between, then the only way is for his immediate family to enter the court as an official, and their family can rise to the top.

According to his genealogy, Li Yuanwai's family is not a native of Yanjing, and I don't know which ancestor started and moved here and took root here.

Although the Li Mansion is also in the west of the city, but because of the status problem, the location belongs to a house in the west of the city near the north city wall, in addition to the slightly embarrassing location, this mansion is not as good as the palace in this Yanjing City, but it is not inferior to any other house.

So although Jinhong has never been there before, the location of the Li Mansion is not difficult to find.

Because he was in a hurry, Jin Hong found a horse from his own stable, don't look at the west of the city, if you walk over with your feet alone, it is estimated that it will be dark.

The gate of the Li Mansion was even more atmospheric than the Anping Monarch's Mansion, and there were two huge statues of Pixiu squatting at the door, which was very in line with their temperament as merchants.

You must know that there are generally two stone lions placed on the official's house, symbolizing justice and majesty, but Pixiu has the meaning of warding off evil spirits and gathering treasures.

Jin Hong stopped next to a Pixiu, and for a moment he was upset and compared with the other party, and found that even if he was riding on a horse, he was still a head shorter than this statue.

"It's a proud person" Jin Hong commented on Li Yuanwai in his heart, and it may also be his father.

Led the horse to the door, there was already a doorkeeper in Jinhong when he got off the horse noticed him, at this time saw him walking towards the house, he immediately greeted him, although he was not humble and polite, but the attitude was also kind, after all, in the Li Mansion such a big family as an errand, there is a sense of pride in the heart.

But fortunately, their pride did not evolve into a sense of superiority, otherwise Jinhong's good impression of this Li Mansion would be greatly reduced.

"This son, please stay, who are you looking for?"

"My name is Jinhong, and I'm here to find your young lady, and I'm bothering my brother to go in and report it."

Jin Hong also felt that it was a little impolite to lead a horse like this, swaggering through the main entrance of others, generally speaking, horses are not allowed to go through the main gate, taboo!

The family looked at Jinhong, and when he heard that he was looking for his own lady, the look on his face became a little suspicious, and he looked up and down again, and his eyes seemed to say, "You have no hope, brother!" ”

"Ahem, bothering brother to report on your behalf?" Jinhong could only relieve the embarrassment with a light cough, and then reiterated his appeal again.

Seeing that Jinhong was so persistent, the family could only shake his head pitifully, and lamented in his heart, "It's another guy who doesn't hit the south wall and doesn't look back." ”

"Then you wait a minute" After saying this, the Ding turned around and walked away, while the other Ding stared at Jin Hong with a good look, and when Jin Hong looked at him, he pretended that nothing was going on and looked out of the door.

patted the horses beside him, and Li Yu's appearance unconsciously appeared in his eyes, such a woman, there are many suitors, and it is a natural result.

Not long after, the family member who had gone to report went and returned, and when he looked at Jinhong again, his eyes became very different, and he could even be described as surprised.

Li Yu, who was followed by Jia Ding who came quickly, had the joy of seeing Jinhong on his face, but he couldn't hide the anxiety and uneasiness in his expression.

Before the "Jin Gongzi" person walked in front of him, he greeted him from a distance, which made the family who walked in front even more surprised, usually his own young lady is not like this.

Even if His Royal Highness the Prince of King Li came to visit, she was embarrassed, came out to meet once, and after saying a few words, she made an excuse to leave.

"Could it be that this guy is the lady's crush?" An idea suddenly popped out of Jia Ding's mind, and then the gaze that looked at Jin Hong turned into envy.

Putting aside Li Yu's family, Li Yu's appearance and figure are also reasons to make all men in the world crazy.

I don't know what virtue this kid has accumulated in his ancestors, and he can get the patience of the young lady.

Li Yu seemed to be walking a little slowly, bypassing the family who was still thinking about it in front of him, and trotted to Jinhong, his breath was a little panting, and his face was slightly red because of the running just now, but that smile made Jinhong feel that the other party was really happy at the moment.

"My father said you were looking for me, so I came over." Jin Hong explained the reason for this, and thought that Li Yu would tell him what was urgent, but he didn't expect Li Yu's next words to almost make his jaw drop.

"Ahh That's your father? Oh no, I should have thought about it, how is this good? I didn't seem to use honorifics when I spoke, and when I left, I just bowed my hands and didn't bow down. Li Yu suddenly frowned, trying to recall every detail of meeting Jinran in Anping Jun's Mansion in the afternoon.

Jin Hong looked at the beautiful woman in front of him a little stupidly, even if his brows were furrowed and her expression was panicked, she was still so moving.

The most important thing is that she will become cautious about the people around him because of him, this kind of heartfelt action, so that Jinhong once again really saw her heart for herself, these unintentional behaviors are the most indicative of a person's inner feelings, which makes Jinhong suddenly become a little overwhelmed.

It is impossible for him to do anything to hurt Yan Changfeng, not even a little bit, but in the face of Li Yu, he is not willing to let the other party suffer any harm.

"Uncle..."I wanted to call Jinran my uncle, but after thinking about it, it was not suitable for this title now, so I changed: "Did Lord An Pingjun tell you anything about me?" ”

Li Yu's words made Jinhong no longer sink into his thoughts, and seeing that she was a little nervous, Jinhong almost couldn't help laughing, and said, "He said that you are very beautiful and have a good temperament." ”

"Gone?"

"It's gone."

"That's good, that's good!" Li Yu put his mind at ease at this time, smiled at Jin Hong, and then seemed to remember something, looked at Jin Hong and said:

"Jin Gongzi, I am looking for you this time, I actually want your help with something."

The words were calm, but Jinhong could feel that she was deliberately suppressing herself to keep herself calm.

"It's a long story, let's talk as we go, Erzhuang, lead Jin Gongzi's horse to the backyard and take care of it." Li Yu invited Jinhong into the door, turned around and instructed the family who had gone to report just now.

The Li Mansion is very large, divided into two parts: the inner courtyard is the daily living place of the Li family, and the outer courtyard undertakes all other functions, such as meeting guests, holding banquets and the daily living of the family in the house.

Jin Hong followed Li Yu all the way, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart, "It's really big", which is a few points larger than the scale of Anping Junfu.

It's just that when he was about to approach the inner courtyard, he no longer had the heart to enjoy the unique scenery along the way, because a very faint aura enveloped the entire inner courtyard, and Jin Hong now called this kind of aura demonic energy.

"Another guy who slipped out of the Hidden Clouds and Snowy Regions." However, judging from the breath, it seems that this guy is still very weak, so the demonic energy is also very thin.

With Li Yu's leadership, of course, there was no obstacle to entering the inner courtyard, and several guards who were in charge of guarding the inner courtyard only glanced at Jin Hong in slight surprise.

But Jin Hong saw them thoroughly, and at the same time, he had to admire the Li family's financial resources, because these guards were all extreme martial cultivators, and in the eyes of ordinary extreme martial cultivators, cultivation also belonged to the upper level.

It is estimated that raising these guys will be a huge expense every year.

Li Yu led Jinhong all the way to an independent courtyard, and at this time there was an old man with gray hair, sitting on the stone bench in the corner of the small courtyard with an anxious face, coughing lightly twice from time to time, and a trace of sickly flushing appeared on his face.

Next to the old man stood a thin middle-aged man, with an inch-long beard on his chin, a loose robe but no sense of burden, and a pair of sharp eyes on his emaciated face, staring at Jin Hong who walked in with Li Yu.

Li Yu gave Jinhong a waiting look, and then walked towards the old man, and didn't see her have any courtesy behavior, so he said directly:

"Father, this is the Jin Gongzi I told you."

The old man had also noticed Jin Hong a long time ago, and after listening to Li Yu's introduction at this time, he propped his hands on his legs and wanted to stand up, but it caused a violent cough, and the middle-aged man next to him quickly put his hand behind the old man's back, Jin Hong knew that he was using his extreme force to relieve the disordered breath of the old man.

Jin Hong walked up quickly, clasped his fists and saluted: "Senior Jinhong, I have seen Li Yuanwai, just sit down." ”

Li Yuanwai worked hard for a long time, and finally stopped coughing with the help of the middle-aged man, nodded as if he gave up, and sat back with the support of Li Yu and the middle-aged man.

"Please don't be surprised." Li Yuanwai made a loss, and pointed to the year-round person beside him.

"This is the chief guest secretary of my Li family, Mr. Zhuge , on weekdays, Mr. Zhuge helps to worry about the defense of our family, the old man is ill and can't say too much, so I will ask Mr. Zhuge and Jin Gongzi to talk in detail."

Seeing that Jinhong was so young, Mr. Zhuge couldn't help but have some contemptuous thoughts in his heart, but since the master had spoken, he couldn't postpone it, so he said directly:

"This matter is strange to say, just the night before yesterday..."Speaking of this, Mr. Zhuge paused slightly, looked at Li Yuanwai who was sitting next to him, and saw Li Yuanwai nodding, then Mr. Zhuge continued: "My master and Siniang had dinner, and they went back to the house together.

Originally, everything was fine, but in the middle of the night, Siniang suddenly seemed to be enchanted, roaring strange screams in her mouth, and kowtowing desperately to the moonlight through the window.

At the same time, Siniang's creepy voice became louder and louder, waking up everyone in the inner courtyard, I and a few nurses wanted to enter the house to check, but the door closed automatically, even if we couldn't open it together, and we also tried to knock the door directly, but the strange thing is that the door was like a shield, and it bounced us open.

The only thing we can be sure of now is that Siniang is still inside, because every late at night, there will be that terrifying roar in the house, but it's been two days, and we don't know what the situation is inside. ”
