That night, after Li Tianyu and Cui Hao returned to Li's mansion, they learned from Xianglan that someone had sent a pair of invitations in the afternoon, which seemed to be for Li Tianyu, but now it was in the hands of Li's mother.

"Xianglan, you make it clear, what does the person who sent the post look like? Why don't you take it for me and give it to my mother? Li Tianyu was a little puzzled who would send him an invitation, basically the people he knew counted on ten fingers, and eighty percent of these people would not write any invitations from Yaxing.

"Back to the young master, Xianglan also listened to the maid in the front yard." The little maid said with some grievances.

"The young master didn't blame you, he was just a little curious. Alright, you can continue to play with her. Li Tianyu looked at Xianglan's aggrieved appearance and the innocent little eyes of the righteous sister who picked it up from the road before, and no matter how big the anger was, it was all extinguished. In the past few days, Xianglan has been playing with that righteous sister in the Li Mansion, so in addition to Li Tianyu, she is closest to Xianglan and Li's mother. As for Father Li, it would be good to stay at home for two hours a day, except for eating and sleeping.

After that, Li Tianyu and Cui Hao went to find Li's mother, and it turned out that it was the old man Han who came to Li Mansion to deliver the invitation today. It was an invitation to appreciate the moon in the Mid-Autumn Festival and appreciate poetry, in short, a large number of talented women had a holiday party, each wrote a few essays, and finally awarded a first, second and third prize. It's just that the time was the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the location turned out to be in Jinling.

It's good now, I originally planned to spend the Mid-Autumn Festival at home with my parents, but now I have a few more confidants, and it is impossible to say that I can run to Jinling to run to the moon and nibble on moon cakes while crying at the moon.

"It's okay now, I originally wanted you and Xiaohao to go to the Jinling grandfather's house in the Mid-Autumn Festival, and now it's just in time for this poetry meeting, I think it's better for you to go back to Jinling with Xiaohao in the Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Don't!"

"Yes, yes!"

I saw two different voices blurting out at the same time. saw Li Tianyu with a resistant expression, but Cui Hao clapped his hands happily and jumped.

"Bao'er, you have thought about it, this invitation was sent to you by Mr. Han himself." Mother Li looked at Li Tianyu with a smile and said.

"Then, Miss Han, is she going?" Li Tianyu asked slightly embarrassed.

"This, Mr. Han never said. But thinking about it, Miss Han, as the first talented woman in Yangzhou, will probably go. Mother Li still said with a smile.

"Okay now, you can look back and see if it's my sister's No. 1 talented woman in Jinling, or Brother Tian's No. 1 talented woman in Yangzhou." Cui Hao said expectantly, but the expression on his face seemed to be a little obscene.

"Then Mr. Han just sent me an invitation? Or did I send it to someone else? Li Tianyu asked cautiously.

"I don't know about this. Why, are you a little hesitant now? Mother Li still said with a smile.

"Alright, my good old mother, tell me what the hell is going on." Li Tianyu heard the sound at the moment, and after seeing his mother's smiling expression, he knew that she must be deliberately amusing herself.

"You kid, okay, when Mr. Han came to deliver the invitation today, he told Wei Niang that he wanted you to go to Najinling with him as his disciple to participate in the poetry tasting conference. The scholar who held this year's poetry tasting meeting in Jinling was an old friend of Mr. Han, and he was also a disciple of Mr. Han, so he wanted to invite Mr. Han to Jinling to preside over the overall situation. So I sent an invitation card and a few blank invitations to Mr. Han, hoping that Mr. Han would also bring the talented women of Yangzhou to come together. So Miss Han is definitely going to go. Mr. Han felt that you were gifted and talented, so he wanted you to go with him as his disciple. Mr. Han values you so much, could it be that you really want to disappoint his old man? You must know that Mr. Han is very famous in the entire Jiangnan Shizi. Mother Li said very demagoguingly.

"Sodaiskar. How many invitations did Mr. Han send today? Are there any blank invitations? Li Tianyu rolled his eyes and asked.

"What the hell are you going to come up with, kid? Do you think that the invitation can be sent casually? How many people in Yangzhou can make Mr. Han look at him? ”

"I don't think Xiao Hao hasn't yet."

"Come on, Brother Tian, do you think that since it is held in Jinling, do I still need that invitation? In my opinion, you must be secretly trying to get it for those sisters. "Even if Cui Haodang sees through Brother Tian's trick, after all, this invitation is given to the local talents and talented women in Yangzhou, and he, a native of Jinling, can't use that ticket at all. Besides, there is his sister in Jinling, are you still worried that you can't get in?

"Xiao Hao, how can you think of your brother Tian like this? You don't want to think about it, even if your brother Tiandi plans to do so, but after all, it is the Mid-Autumn Festival, who will leave home and go to Jinling alone. Although Li Tianyu said so righteously, he couldn't help but scold in his heart that this kid is becoming more and more a chicken thief, and he has been by Lao Tzu's side for a long time, and he can even guess Lao Tzu's thoughts.

It turned out that Li Tianyu was indeed preparing to seek for those confidants, and it would be impossible for them to succeed when the time came. Anyway, at least you can sell personal favors, especially Liu Ruoran and Kang Yibing, of course, and Qin Yuyan. It's just that the meaning for the three of them is different. Needless to say, Liu Ruoran has a very confidant feeling, and besides, she is quite interested in these. And take Kang Yibing as an example, he always feels that he owes her a lot now, so it is naturally great to have such an opportunity to be courteous, and it is another matter whether she goes or not. However, depending on her workaholic personality and busy life all day long, most of the time she will not go. As for Qin Yuyan's words, to be honest, Li Tianyu doesn't have much interest in that little Lori now, but he just thinks that if he sends this post to the Liu family and the Kang family, but not to the Qin family, it seems to be a little unsightly. At the very least, after letting that Master Qin find out, he will be somewhat embarrassed.

"By the way, Mom, you will also go back to Jinling Province with your father at that time, right?" Li Tianyu suddenly thought that he was only worried about himself, and forgot to ask his mother what their situation was. Otherwise, if he left the second elder alone in the Li Mansion, he would rather not go.

"It's rare that you still remember being a mother. However, my mother and your father will not go this time, and I will go back to repair a letter for my mother in person, and you will send it to Jinling's house on behalf of your mother. Mother Li sighed slightly and said.

"Why, auntie? Your grandfather and grandmother miss you very much at home, and even your sister misses you very much. Cui Hao couldn't help but coquettishly say after hearing this.

"Yu'er, this time you can bring her to Yangzhou when you return home. Anyway, I miss that girl a lot. It's just that this Mid-Autumn Festival, your father is not free to leave Yangzhou, since last year's Mid-Autumn Festival in Beijing and Hangzhou after the fires, the imperial court has issued an order, every Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival, local officials at all levels must do a good job of prevention. Once any abnormal activity is discovered, the person can be arrested on the spot and returned to the government for severe interrogation. Don't look at your father as the governor of a province, but the patrol army he can dispatch is only limited to Yangzhou. At that time, if I leave the Li Mansion and go to Jinling, then there will be no one in our Li Mansion during the day, not to mention that there is one more righteous daughter in the family now. Mother Li said helplessly.

"In that case, the boy will not go to Jinling. Xiao Hao, don't say that Brother Tian doesn't give you a chance to perform, this trip to Jinling is all up to you. Li Tianyu hesitated slightly, then said resolutely, and then did not forget to make a joke about Cui Hao.

To be honest, Li Tianyu didn't have much interest in that poetry tasting meeting, and in his eyes, it was at best just a social banquet that seemed to be an upper-class person. It's just that he feels that if Han Di'er also goes, he is still willing to go with him. After all, the closest person at the moment is Han Di'er, and of course I don't want to live with her in two places during the Mid-Autumn Festival, although even if they are all in Yangzhou, they can't live together temporarily, but there are still some opportunities to scratch and touch. However, after weighing it now, he still feels that it is more important to be at home with his parents. Besides, Na Di'er was originally indifferent, and she didn't think she was very interested in this poetry club and the false name of the first talented girl. Anyway, there is still some time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and when I look back, I have the opportunity to be affectionate to her alone, and I know that she will stay in Yangzhou. It's just that in this way, Old Man Han will definitely not worry about Di'er and her staying at home alone, and I am even more worried than his old man, the best solution is to invite Di'er to my Li Mansion as a guest, and there is no such thing as a care.

"Humph! Brother Tian, don't think about it. It's a big deal, and I just don't go. Xiao Zhengtai said indignantly.

Li Tianyu listened to Cui Hao's words, but a trace of warmth rose in his heart, but he didn't expect this kid to be quite righteous at a critical moment.

"What do you two little fools say? For the mother, I have already responded to Mr. Han's matter. Besides, my mother also really wants to have someone in our family to visit Jinling on behalf of the family during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bao'er, do you say that in addition to you, is there a suitable candidate? Mother Li said with some tears and laughter. Although she was very touched by Li Tianyu's filial piety, she also knew that starting from the overall situation, after all, she really wanted to go back to Jinling, and it would be great if Bao'er returned to Jinling on her behalf.

"But, aunt, why can't we go back to Jinling to visit before the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Cui Hao asked a little puzzled, obviously he was not very reluctant to return to Jinling in the Mid-Autumn Festival.

"That Jinling is not close, and it is not far away, but it takes two days to go back and forth from Yangzhou to Jinling, and if you stay in Jinling for two or three days, it will take four or five days. It's okay if it's a holiday, but your uncle doesn't have so much time on weekdays. After all, the DPRK and China stipulate that the long leave for family visits is once every three years. Moreover, if it is easy for an official below the fifth rank to say, where can a feudal minister like your uncle say that he can leave, then the governor's office also has a lot of official business to deal with every day. Mother Li sighed with some grievances.

"Xiaohao, you don't use your brain. If Mom really gets the opportunity to visit relatives in Jinling, is it your turn to ask? In fact, Li Tianyu was also thinking about this question just now, but he didn't say it, because he must have understood in his heart that there must be a reason for it.

"Well, let's not talk about that just yet. During the Mid-Autumn Festival, Bao'er and Xiaohao went to Jinling together, and Bao'er went to meet your grandparents and aunts on behalf of your family. It just so happens that you haven't seen them in a while. When you return to Yangzhou, you will bring your cousin to our Li Mansion. All of a sudden, our Li Mansion will be more lively. Mother Li said softly without doubt.

At that moment, Li Tianyu couldn't say anything, but fortunately, there was still some time before the Mid-Autumn Festival, and then he learned about the situation at home in Jinling with Li's mother. It turned out that in the past, Jinling's grandfather had accompanied Emperor Gaozu to fight in the south and north, and was named the prince of the country by Gaozu after the founding of the country. However, although the country was stable at that time, the political situation was still turbulent, and my grandfather seemed to feel that he was old and did not want to get involved in the rights and wrongs of those battles for the throne, so he resigned from Gaozu and returned to his hometown. Gaozu felt his sincerity, so he rewarded his grandfather with a house and wealth, which can be said to let his grandfather return to his hometown and return to his hometown.

Therefore, the Jinling Cui family can now be regarded as a famous family in Jiangsu. The family's assets are rewarded by the ancestors, and even if they want to sit and eat, it will take several generations to work together to squander it. Moreover, Gaozu specially descended Long's grace, and the thousand acres of fertile land given to his grandfather were all his own taxes and taxes, and he did not need to hand them over to the local government. Therefore, the family can also rely on some rent to worry about food and clothing. In the early years, my grandfather used it to run his own tea farm, and later rented the tea farm to the poor people, and when the year was good and the sales were good, he also collected some rent silver, and if the harvest was not good, he would take some tea leaves at will as an offset, and then help everyone find a way. Since the old man has experienced the rise and fall of the previous dynasty, the life and death of the war and the blood of the royal family, he has long regarded these things outside his body very lightly, and he has taught his children at home like this. So now my uncle doesn't even have a chance to take a concubine, but Li Tianyu is deeply unfortunate for this.
