Li Yi hurriedly stepped forward to salute, Li Yangu smiled and said: "Yi'er, come and sit down, I haven't seen you in the past three years, uncle, I miss you very much!" ”

Li Yi hurriedly bowed down again, and then sat down under his head and said respectfully: "My nephew also misses his relatives at home, especially the second uncle. It's just that I'm in Yunnan, I can't see each other day and night, I can only miss myself in my spare time, which is really a pity! ”

Li Yangu nodded frequently and smiled: "This is also a matter that you can't help yourself, and you can't help yourself as an official outside." I heard that you have done a vigorous deed in Yunnan, and I have always been very proud, and the men of our Li family have contributed to the country and the people, and I am deeply satisfied. ”

"Your brother Li Yuanyuan is in Yizhou, although he is not yet successful, I often think of him. Alas! If he and Xiang'er could be in the capital, wouldn't our family be complete? ”

Hearing his words, Li Yi realized that the second uncle's family also had a cousin named Li Fan, who was only one year younger than himself, and after he came out, he served as the secretary of Yizhou to join the army, and it has been more than two years. It's all like telling yourself, and you don't know the specifics.

Li Yangu suddenly sighed and said, "Alas! Seeing that the young people of our Li family are so promising, I am also very proud! I think back then, I was a little younger than you, but your father was left by Emperor Xiang to listen to when he was on an envoy to Lingnan. I was the only boy in the family, and although I was finally admitted to the Jinshi, I was depressed and had been idle at home, and I could only support my parents to survive. ”

"At that time, I thought, the whereabouts of the eldest brother are unknown, there is no information, and I have never been able to start a family, is our Li family, which was once famous, going to be defeated when I come here? I'm really unwilling! ”

"Alas! I was depressed at the time, but in fact something more difficult was waiting for me. Zhu Wen suddenly arrested the old and young remnants of the previous dynasty, and killed more than 200 powerful scholars by the Yellow River at one time. ”

"Your grandfather and grandmother were already seriously ill, and they were frightened by this time, and soon left me, leaving me alone, the world is so big, but there is no place for me. Alas! When I said it, my eyes were full of tears! ”

Li Yinheng shook his head from the side and said: "Second brother, today is the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, don't mention the past days, it makes people sad and uncomfortable to mention, I remember that you have said it many times,"

Li Yangu smiled apologetically: "Oh! Big brother, although I am old and confused, but the most unforgettable thing is the hard days of that year, when the day was precarious, the most impressive, I am afraid I will never forget it for the rest of my life. ”

Li Yi said with deep agreement: "The second uncle has come from such a hard and difficult day, of course, it is unforgettable, this is human nature!" ”

Li Yangu said with emotion: "Yes! If I hadn't heard from your father, I would have been in despair. Thinking about it at that time, there was no longer any concern anyway, and knowing the exact news of the eldest brother, what was there to hesitate about! So I fled Chang'an in a desperate attempt and traveled thousands of miles to Lingnan, so that our family could truly reunite! ”

At this moment, Mrs. Liu and an ordinary-looking noblewoman walked in through the side door surrounded by Han Ji and a group of maids and servants, and it seemed that this noblewoman should be Li Yangu's wife.

When Mrs. Liu entered the hall, she smiled and said, "Oh! You brothers are talking about the past and the present again. Hehe! After listening to it for so long, Yi'er should have gained a lot of knowledge! ”

Li Yi nodded with a smile, and said seriously: "Of course, Wen Jun's words are better than reading for ten years, and I have also benefited a lot from the words and deeds of the second elder, and I want to take fewer detours in my career." ”

Mrs. Liu giggled, "My son, you are exalting these two sour people!" I can hear the cocoons grinding out in my ears, it is nothing more than those old yellow calendars, as well as the upheavals and hardships of the year, hehe! It's not too early, let's stop talking about books, let's do something serious. Master, the incense case and the six animal sacrifices have been placed, it's time to worship heaven and earth and ancestors! ”

Li Yinheng nodded and said, "Hmm! It's time, but I don't know if Pian'er is back? ”

Mrs. Liu said: "I just came back from the palace, and I am freshening up and changing my clothes!" Prepare yourself, too, and start as soon as everyone is ready. ”

After a while, Li Ao and Li Pian arrived with their families, and the family members were all together, men, women and children, there were dozens of people.

The group came to the tall and solemn ancestral hall in the backyard in an orderly manner, and saw that the chief housekeeper Li Changzheng was busy, with all kinds of people, etc., and the incense case and various offerings had already been placed in the center of the ancestral hall.

The auspicious time has arrived, Li Yinheng led everyone to kneel down in front of the incense case, solemnly bowed to the heavens and the earth and the great gift of the ancestors, the ceremony was solemn and solemn, and the firecrackers were set off after the end, and the long-lasting explosion sound swirled in Li Yi's ears, coupled with the noisy sound of children's laughter, so that Li Yi really felt the arrival of the New Year.

On that day, more than 20 tables were opened for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, and the faces of the people in Hefu were filled with New Year's joy. Before the banquet began, Mrs. Liu routinely distributed New Year's money to her children, grandchildren, servants, etc. Although she is only in her early forties, she has four grandsons and three granddaughters, including Li Yi and Wanru Ning'er.

The eldest brother Li Ao has three sons and one daughter, the eldest son Li Wei, who will be seventeen years old after the New Year, and has just entered Taixue, which should be with Liang Qun, Shen Quan, and Hu Bintu. The second son Li Ke and the third son Li Po are both less than ten years old, and their daughter is named Li Shan, who is also twelve or thirteen years old.

The second brother Li Xiang has a son and a daughter, the youngest son is named Li Min, who is only about ten years old this year, and the daughter Li Zhen is already fifteen years old, and she already has a mother-in-law, just waiting to get married next year.

Among the brothers, only Li Pian has no children, so when Mrs. Liu distributed the New Year's money, Li Pian was the first to jump out and coax, on the grounds that he was the youngest in the family, and he still has no children, at least he should have his share, even if it is for the future children.

After listening to Li Pian's strange reason that is not a reason, he didn't expect Mrs. Liu to smile and say, "Hmm! Pian'er is right, he is also the youngest of your brothers, although he is also in his early twenties, he still looks like a naughty boy, not much better than your nephews, I think I should send you a copy. ”
