Chapter 1175: Brother Virtue and Brother Shun
"It's the first time in so many years that they've been so united!" Li Shengli snorted coldly: "Let them go to Yishoutang and wait!" ”
"Your Excellency, aren't you going to see them?" The butler asked him cautiously.
"Why are they going to see them when they come, you just tell them, I was so happy last night, I drank too much wine, and now I am still sleeping soundly, no matter how I scream, I can't wake up, let them wait in Yishoutang!" Li Shengli said coldly.
"Yes, sir!" What else can the housekeeper say, his master has spoken, of course he can only execute. It's just that Li Shengli can lie on the bed and pretend to sleep peacefully, and he is afraid that he will be scolded for being bloody.
"Wait!" Just as the housekeeper was about to bite the bullet and be scolded, Li Shengli suddenly stopped the other party and said, "You can just let other people do this matter, let me ask you, when they came, did they come alone, or did they bring someone else?" ”
"The uncles and uncles are basically here with their own families, and the sons are also there, and then there are some people behind them, and they are just some subordinates, there are no big people!" The butler lowered his eyebrows and said pleasantly.
"Yo, it seems that my four brothers can really hold back, and they know how to give me a little face as a brother!" Li Shengli's expression suddenly became extremely cold, he never believed that his four brothers would be willing to come over empty-handed, it seems that this damn thing is still to come!
"How is Lord Mutian? How is he now? Li Shengli asked.
"Lord Mu Tian is still asleep, without his orders, our people dare not disturb him!" The butler said.
"It's sunshine, and I'm still sleeping!" Li Shengli muttered, but he didn't dare to disturb Mu Tian, so he simply lay down on the bed and began to fall asleep.
However, it was impossible for Li Shengli to fall asleep, he tossed and turned on the bed for a while, and finally got up, shouted a few times, and the butler ran forward again just now.
"Quick, wait for me to change my clothes, if I don't go to see them, won't it seem that my heart as a big brother is weak!" Li Shengli suddenly changed his mind and asked his subordinates to change his clothes as quickly as possible.
Soon, Li Shengli was dressed properly, changed back to the appearance of the majestic duke, and then prepared to go out...... It's just that when he was about to go out, Li Shengli changed his mind again, and asked his subordinates to change into a set of daily civilian clothes, and then they went out with a solemn expression and entered Yishoutang.
"It turned out that the eldest brother came, the second brother visited the eldest brother, and wished the eldest brother a long life, and the sun and the moon forever!"
"Big brother, you're finally here, and the third brother also wishes you good luck and longevity!"
"Big brother...... Eldest brother! ”
What made Grand Duke Li Shengli a little unexpected was that his four younger brothers, who were usually unruly, seemed to be a different person at the moment, their attitude was extremely deferential to Li Shengli, and they spoke with a smile on their faces, and they were not displeased by Li Shengli for a long time.
"These guys, who do everything they can to be a big brother on weekdays, are now acting for me!" Li Shengli was stunned for a moment at first, but soon understood the thoughts of his precious younger brothers.
Today is the day to decide the next generation of heirs, even if the four of them have more resentment and dissatisfaction with themselves in their hearts, they must endure it at this moment and show a respectful attitude towards themselves, so as not to be singled out by themselves for any mistakes, so as not to affect their son's inheritance.
These guys, I'm afraid that what they think in their hearts is that as long as any of their children inherit the duke position of the Li family after today, they will have to do everything possible to toss their eldest brother.
"Your younger brothers came so early, my brother and I slept so soundly, and the people didn't dare to scream, and they couldn't wake up, but they made the younger brothers wait for a long time, and I will accompany you as a big brother!" Since you want to act, then I, Li Shengli, will also accompany you to act, he warmly hugged each of his younger brothers, and everyone's faces were full of warm smiles, it is really a harmonious and friendly family!
At this time, it was almost 10 o'clock in the morning, and the guests had arrived one after another, Li Shengli and his younger brothers said a few words hypocritically, and sent them to sit on the chairman early, and he ran to the door, as today's old birthday star, to greet the guests who came to congratulate him on his birthday.
As the Duke of Mangzhou, there is naturally an endless stream of people who come to congratulate Li Shengli on his birthday, and the first to come to the door are the marquis and barons of all sizes in Mangzhou.
In addition to the aristocrats of Mangzhou, there are also a large number of well-known people and social elites in Mangzhou.
And in Kyushu outside Mangzhou, there were also a large number of high-status guests who came, and soon the garden of the Duke's Palace was full, hundreds of round tables were all full of guests, and thousands of noble-status nobles congratulated Li Shengli on his birthday at the same time, which made Li Shengli, who was originally angry with his younger brothers, smile again.
However, what made Li Shengli a little unhappy was that a considerable number of these guests seemed to have been invited by his 4 younger brothers, anyway, Li Shengli didn't know these guests who came to celebrate his birthday, and all of these people were brought in by his younger brothers one by one.
It can be seen from the time when Li Shengli later had to add hundreds of tables and chairs to meet these extra guests.
Li Shengli can't be angry yet, people come to congratulate him on his birthday, if his old man is angry, what is this!
And there is another thing that makes Li Shengli a little depressed, that is, Mu Tian has not come out of the room, and then Li Shengli couldn't bear it, so he asked Li Chenggong to invite his good brother to attend the birthday banquet, but Li Chenggong said helplessly after a while, in fact, there was no one in the room for a long time, and Mu Tian sent him a message, saying that it was the first time he came to the Duke's Palace, and he took advantage of the cool weather in the morning to go around the Duke's Mansion and enjoy the beautiful scenery in the Duke's Palace.
But let Li Chenggong not have to worry, when he needs to appear Mu Tian, he Mu Tian Tie will definitely appear, and at the same time ensure that Li Chenggong can sit in the position of the Duke of Mangzhou safely.
Regarding Mu Tian's statement, Li Shengli seemed to have no other better way to deal with it except rolling his eyes.
At about 12 noon, the guests arrived one after another, Li Shengli changed into an emerald green birthday dress, sat on the chairman, raised the wine glass in his hand and said, "Thank you for coming to my father's birthday banquet, everyone drink this cup!" ”
In an instant, thousands of guests stood up and toasted together, and the atmosphere of the whole banquet was extremely hot for a while, as if this was really just a simple birthday banquet.
It's a pity that Li Shengli can enjoy the good time for only ten minutes, after all the guests toasted at the same time, Li Shengli was about to sit down to eat with peace of mind, the second child sitting next to Li Shengli suddenly stood up and said, "Big brother, since today is full of friends, I dare not say that 1/3 of the nobles of the Shenmu Continent have gathered here, and this is the best time, just to do what my father explained, what does the eldest brother think?" ”
"Yes, there are so many noble people here to testify, it is the best time, besides, my father's last words also said that when you turn 60th birthday, eldest brother, do you say?" The third child also stood up and said.
"It's coming! These guys don't even want to give me time to drink a cup of birthday wine in peace! Li Shengli felt sad in his heart, but this was also expected to happen sooner or later, it was not a big deal.
Because of the amplification circle placed on the main table, the voices of these brothers immediately reached the ears of all the guests present.
Most of the guests had a blank expression on their faces, while some of the guests who knew the reason for this had a look on their faces. Most of them came over to watch the show!
"Big brother, it's time to arrive, why don't we ask for my father's will?" The second child said with a solemn expression, people who don't know still think that he participated in the funeral instead of the birthday ceremony, and he actually wants to ask for some will.
"Second child, I admit what my father said, it's not appropriate to leave a life or something!" Li Shengli's expression was cold, and on his birthday banquet, he invited his father's last words out, is it still a birthday banquet at the birthday banquet?
"It's okay, since the eldest brother still remembers his father's will, then the eldest brother might as well explain it to the guests in person, and everyone in the province is in the dark!" The third child answered.
Father's will, if it can be said from Li Shengli's own mouth, then the credibility is naturally the fullest, and the effect is much stronger than directly asking for his will.
Seeing that his 4 younger brothers set such a trap for himself, Li Shengli was so angry that he trembled, but he had to fall into the trap, which made people even more angry and depressed.
"Ladies and gentlemen, in fact, in addition to celebrating the old man's birthday today, there is another extremely important thing, that is, to select an excellent heir for my Mangzhou Li family to inherit the great cause of my Li family for three thousand years!" Since you say it yourself, it's a little bit of a child.
So, Li Shengli used a very loud and confident voice to explain the will left by his old father, and everyone suddenly realized that in addition to celebrating his birthday, there was such a big thing about the future Duke of Mangzhou.
The guests suddenly felt excited, judging from the expressions of those brothers, this time the matter is not so simple, Li Chenggong is probably not the future duke, this time it is really a lot of fun to watch!
