In addition to the bright lights in the main hall in front of him, it was very dark all around, and some undulating outlines could only be faintly seen from the night, which made Li Zhang guess that he should be in a huge building complex, and the main hall in front of him was only one of them.

"My master has invited Lu Bantou!" At this moment, I suddenly saw a beautiful maid carrying a lantern walking out of the main hall, and came to Lu Wu and said softly.

When Lu Wu heard this, he agreed and was about to enter the hall with Li Zhang's father and son, but he didn't expect this maid to stop Li Zhang's father and son and said: "My master said, only ask Lu Bantou to go in first, as for the two of them, they should wait outside for a while!" ”

"Just let me in?" Lu Wu couldn't help frowning when he heard this, he originally planned to let Li Zhang act according to his eyes after entering, but he didn't expect the other party to separate them, and now his original plan was useless.

"Lu Bantou, please!" The maid didn't say anything, but directly invited Lu Wu into the hall, which made him look at Li Zhang's father and son helplessly, and then told them to stay here and not run around, and then stepped into the main hall.

Lu Wu left, and only Li Zhang's father and son were left outside the palace gate, and the surroundings were also dark, and there was not even a ghost shadow, but Li Zhang was sure that such a big palace, and the other party was so mysterious, there must be a lot of people around to protect them, it was okay if they didn't break in, and if they broke in, they would definitely be stopped.

However, Li Zhang was a little strange at this time, when he was in the car just now, he also guessed what this mysterious woman had to do with Li Yonghe, but now the other party actually called Lu Wu in alone, could it be that he guessed wrong, this woman is actually related to Lu Wu, but why did he call their father and son again?

The more Li Zhang thought about it, the more puzzled he became, and time passed little by little, Lu Wu went in for most of the hour, Li Zhang and the two of them could only wait outside, the most important thing was that he and Li Yonghe really didn't have anything to say, and Li Yonghe had been sitting on the steps with his knees in his hands since he got out of the car, and his eyes were dull and he didn't know what he was thinking?

Li Zhang was forced out of the house by Lu Wu, he didn't even have time to eat dinner at that time, and he didn't feel it in the carriage just now, but now after waiting for so long, Li Zhang also felt like a drum in his stomach, which made him feel the pain of hunger again, and the hard days when he first crossed also came to his heart all of a sudden, thinking about the days when he couldn't even eat wild vegetables before, and then thinking about the days when he didn't have to worry about food and clothing every day, which made Li Zhang feel a little sense of accomplishment.

But at this moment, Lu Wu finally walked out of the main hall, but at this time Li Zhang found that his face was not very good, and his eyes were a little red, as if he had just cried, which made Li Zhang also very surprised, he had known Lu Wu for so long, and he had always felt that the other party was an iron-beaten man, even if he was slashed, he would not frown, such a person would cry?

"Boy, go in, remember my words, don't talk nonsense!" Lu Wu walked up to Li Zhang at this time and said in a low voice.

"Just me?" Li Zhang also looked at Li Yonghe next to him in surprise when he heard this, and asked.

"Yes, just yourself!" Lu Wu nodded.

"Li Gongzi, please!" At this moment, the maid who led Lu Wu in just now came over and said to Li Zhang, which made Li Zhang follow the other party into the main hall in confusion.

This hall looks grand from the outside, and after entering, it is even more splendid, gorgeous, carved beams and paintings can be seen everywhere, especially under the illumination of lamps and candles, it seems that this hall is like the legendary heavenly palace, which actually makes Li Zhang feel a little real and illusory.

There was a maid in front to lead the way, Li Zhang followed her all the way to the deepest part of the hall, only to see that there was a bright giant candle here, which was extremely bright under the reflection of the copper basin, and there were two rows of maids standing on both sides, but there was a translucent screen in front of the main seat opposite, so that Li Zhang could only see a woman sitting there in the back, but he couldn't see the other party's appearance clearly.

Li Zhang was led to the screen, and then the maid stood aside, and did not say what to let Li Zhang do, and the woman behind the screen was silent, which made Li Zhang a little at a loss, and finally could only salute the other party according to etiquette: "Boy Li Zhang, please meet...... Meet ......"

However, Li Zhang suddenly found that he didn't know what to call the other party when he saluted, in Li Zhang's conjecture, the other party should be the same generation as Lu Wu and Li Yonghe, so he must be his elder, but after he came to the Great Song Dynasty, among the women who can be called elders, there is only Zhou Laoshi's wife and sister-in-law of the Zhou family, but looking at the other party's posture, it is definitely not good to call the sister-in-law.

In the end, Li Zhang held back for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and saluted: "Li Zhang, please see Auntie!" ”

As soon as Li Zhang's "aunt" came out, the woman behind the screen immediately "fluttered~" and laughed out loud, and even through the screen, she could be seen covering her mouth and bending over with a smile, which also made Li Zhang blush, no way, he couldn't come up with a suitable name, and finally had to move the general name of the later generations to use.

The woman behind the screen was for a long time, and then finally sat up straight and said, "Your name is interesting, I've only heard of Daddy and Auntie, and it's the first time I've heard the name Auntie." ”

Although this woman's voice was very good, Li Zhang also obviously heard that the other party's age should not be young, which made him confirm his guess, so he bowed down again and said: "The kid is young and ignorant, and he hasn't read any books, so he really doesn't know how to call his aunt, so I ask my aunt for forgiveness!" ”

"You're only twelve years old this year, and you still have time to study in the future, and speaking of which, my son is also ten years old this year, but he's about the same age as you." I only heard the "aunt" behind the screen speak again, and when she said this, she saw the other party pause for a moment and then instructed the maid beside her, "Even if it is a child, there is no need to ask for this screen again, remove it!" ”

"Yes!" Following the other party's instructions, the maids on both sides also agreed, and then stepped forward to carry the screen away, and only then did Li Zhang see the true face of this "aunt".

I saw that the woman behind the screen was wearing a plain long dress, her face was like a full moon and her facial features were exquisite, she turned out to be a very beautiful woman, a pair of phoenix eyes were not angry and self-imposing, so that people did not dare to force her to look, from the appearance, the other party was at most thirty or forty years old, but Li Zhang always felt that the actual age of the other party should be older than it looked, because the vicissitudes of her eyes were more like an elder who had experienced prosperity.

"Huh~, you kid is bold, don't you know it's rude to stare at others all the time?" At this moment, I saw this beautiful woman suddenly smile under Li Zhang's gaze, although she is not young, but when this smile appears, it still makes people ignore her age, so it can be seen that she must have been a great beauty when she was young.

"Auntie's forgiveness, boy...... The kid is rude! Li Zhang immediately admitted his mistake, mainly because he was too curious about this mysterious woman, so he couldn't help but look at it for a while.

"Giggles, the title of auntie is still a little too strange, my surname is Liu, you can call me Mrs. Liu!" I saw this woman laugh again, she didn't know why, maybe it was because Li Zhang's performance was a little dull, so she made her laugh frequently, you must know that she rarely laughs once a day.

"Li Zhang, meet Mrs. Liu!" Li Zhang immediately re-saw the salute and said, the title of Mrs. is indeed much stronger than his aunt.

"No need to be polite, I haven't seen Xiao Wu for many years, so if I talk for too long, it will make you wait outside for a long time, I guess you are also hungry, why don't we just eat and chat?" I saw Mrs. Liu smile again, and without waiting for Li Zhang's answer after speaking, she directly asked the maid to deliver the meal.

"Xiao Wu?" Li Zhang was also stunned when he heard the other party's address to Lu Wu, but this also confirmed his guess, on the surface, this Mrs. Liu is much younger than Lu Wu, but judging from this title, she should be older than Lu Wu, but Lu Wu is nearly fifty years old.

In addition, Li Zhang also found that this Mrs. Liu should be a very strong woman, at this time the maid also sent the meal, Li Zhang was also invited to sit down after the long case on the side, the meal was very rich, Li Zhang had not even seen most of it, he was already hungry, so at this time he was not polite, picked up the chopsticks and ate a lot.

Mrs. Liu stopped without eating a few bites, and then watched Li Zhang gobble up with interest, and when Li Zhang was almost finished, she smiled and said: "Young people have a good appetite, I really should let my son come to see how you eat, maybe he can eat more because of this, so as not to grow taller!" ”

"Madame, I was pulled by Uncle Wu before I had dinner, I was hungry just now, and I can't care about eating when I'm hungry!" Li Zhang apologized again at the moment, but he was still full of curiosity at this time, because from the time he came in to the present, the other party did not get to the point, and Li Zhang didn't know why the other party wanted to see him?

"It's really hard to be hungry, I didn't go hungry when I was a child, and my biggest hope at that time was to have a full meal!" Li Zhang's words seemed to touch Mrs. Liu a little, and she said with some emotion again at the moment.

Li Zhang couldn't help but be a little curious at this time, and then simply asked directly: "Mrs. Liu, I don't know what you have to do when you call the kid here today?" ”

"Listen to Xiao Wu, you have opened a braised meat shop now?" In the face of Li Zhang's inquiry, Mrs. Liu did not answer at all, but asked again by herself, and the strength in her words was undoubtedly revealed, as if she was used to asking others, and did not like others to ask her questions.
