Because of the delay of the air train, the arrival time at the headquarters manor was also half a day late. A group of five people hurried to the gate of the headquarters outside the park to hand over the invitation. At this time, it was close to midnight, and the guests had already dispersed, leaving only the core members of the emperor's family drinking tea and chatting in the lobby, and Granny Jin Lian sat at the head of the lobby and slowly sipped the tea, with a hint of gloom on her face. Godgranddaughter Liuli stood quietly beside her, carefully serving, pouring tea and water for her mother-in-law.

"Guo Fengxiao, this kid doesn't take your old man seriously, he actually left behind such an important matter as your 70th birthday, and asked his little cub to congratulate him on his birthday. And now that the dinner party is over, you haven't even seen a ghost, which is really disrespectful to you. "The person who spoke was obese, his name was Guo Mao, and he was in Fuyuan City in the south of the Yellow Emperor Continent, which was one of the richest places in the Yellow Emperor Continent. "Second brother, leave some room to speak, what a boy, a cub, that's your own brother and nephew. Of course, they should be punished for being late, they are missing the courtesy, but we can't be missing. The person who spoke was eight feet tall and looked like a standard rough man, but when he spoke, he didn't leak, this person was Guo Changyi, the eldest son of Jinlian's mother-in-law, and his son Guo Sheng stood behind him, his eyes were blazing and immovable. A woman at hand glanced at a man dressed as a teacher, the man suddenly lowered his head and looked away, the woman saw her brows tightly locked and looked at each other angrily, turned her face and immediately changed it to a spring breeze smile, "The brothers said everything, but it is inevitable that the third brother is busy with affairs, and Xuan'er's nephew is young and greedy for some hours on the road, which is understandable." "Sister, not to mention the eldest brother sitting in the headquarters, busy with the saddle for his mother-in-law, you are the first to arrive in the farthest Oriental Caiyun City, everything is afraid of intentions, look at that kid... As she was talking, the housekeeper Wang Po knocked on the door and bowed down to say, "Old lady, your grandson Guo Yixuan and outside the door of the lobby, see if you call him in." "Call him in!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Guo Yixuan pushed open the door and stepped in, knelt on the ground and bowed, "I wish Mother-in-law Jinlian, the mountains and rivers are always beautiful, and the life is full of blessings." Every year has today, every year has today, I wish you seventy years of life, happy birthday!" Granny Jin Lian smiled, "Get up, Xiao Xuanzi has grown so big, slim and elegant, jade trees are in the wind, not bad!" Guo Yixuan pursed her lips and smiled, raised her head, stood up, and glanced at Liuli standing behind her mother-in-law, she suddenly blushed and heartbeat, and lowered her head shyly. Guo Yixuan happily ran forward to hold her mother-in-law's hand, and said coquettishly, "Mother-in-law, your body is so tough and your complexion is so ruddy, I think you can live to be a hundred years old." Father and mother can miss you... "Go down, no big or small. At this moment, a stern reprimand came out of Guo Changyi's mouth. "Feelings, our uncles and elders are all decorations in your eyes. Guo Mao did not echo either. Guo Yixuan got up and said, "I've seen all the uncles and aunts" "Hey, I said why is the hall so lively, it turns out that Guo Yixuan is here." I saw a charming woman push the door in, go straight to the empty chair next to Guo Mao and sit down. As he walked, he said, "The third brother and sister-in-law have really big hearts, they let you go out alone, and they are not afraid of any moths on the road and cut off the only remaining incense of the third family!" "How can my sister-in-law speak, on the day of my mother-in-law's 70th birthday, she said such depressing words. Guo Yixuan, isn't this safe, besides, the emperor's mainland has dragged his mother-in-law to the sky in recent years, bless his children and grandchildren, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, with plenty of food, why are you those so-called moths. The man dressed as Mr. Teaching finally couldn't hold it anymore and interjected. At this time, Guo Mao slapped the table and said aggressively, "You have a foreign surname next to you, and you don't know how thick the sky is when you stand in the Eastern Territory? Who gave you three points of courage? What qualifications do you have to judge and criticize my wife?" "Since I, Li Yan, joined the Yellow Emperor family, I have been conscientious for decades, forgetting to sleep and eating, and managing the land under the jurisdiction of Oriental Caiyun City in an orderly manner. Even now, you still treat me as an outsider, but you Guo Mao scavenged the people's ointment, filled your pockets, and the people in the south mourned and lived in dire straits, and you are the most unqualified person to point fingers! And your wife Wang, I am about to reason with you if she is not strict in discipline!" The woman named Guo Fu, who was sitting next to him, opened her mouth wide, looked at her husband Li Yan's abnormal behavior in shock, and did not come back to her senses for a long time. "Second, what kind of system is it in front of the younger generation, your matter will be resolved privately, the third child, who is the master of the house in the north, will not come to participate in the big birthday, and he will be late for his son, if you can't explain this matter clearly, Guo Yixuan, don't blame my family law for serving. Guo Yixuan stood up and said to the uncle, "Uncle, it's not that I was greedy on the road and delayed the trip, but that the air train had an emergency on the way, and the maintenance was delayed for half a day. "Nonsense, the air train has been running well since its establishment, and there has never been a problem, you are just greedy for fun, and you make up reasons in vain to try to get by, and the crime is added to the first degree. Someone... "Big brother, it's not appropriate. Guo Fu interrupted Guo Changyi's words, and hurriedly got up and pulled Guo Yixuan to his side to protect him, "Mother-in-law Jinlian's birthday, you can't get along with a child at such a festive time, it's a lot of scenery." Guo Yixuan got up and broke away from Guo Fu's hand and said loudly: "I have one thing to say, two to say, why bother to deceive the superiors and subordinates, you are looking at me as unpleasant and deliberately making things difficult, and there is no excuse for the crimes added in vain, give me the whole trumped-up charges, how do you want to serve me, whatever you want." When I get home, tell my father and let him reason with you. ”

"That's enough!" Granny Jin Lian slammed the Yellow Emperor artifact dragon head cane on the ground, and the deafening sound and dazzling light surrounded the entire hall for a long time, and everyone in the hall was suddenly silent. "Wife, I'm tired today, go back to rest, Wang Po took Xiao Xuanzi to live, Liuli helped me back to the house, you want to quarrel, and you will quarrel again when I go back to the house." Seeing the deterrent power of the artifact, how could everyone still have the heart to continue arguing, they all bowed their heads and were silent, but everyone's expressions were seen by Guo Yixuan one by one and remembered in their hearts. The eldest Guo Changyi was still calm and calm, but the greedy light in his eyes flashed, and the second Guo Mao gasped and comforted his chest and muttered in a low voice, "Scared me to death, scared me to death!" His wife Wang glanced at Li Yan with a variety of charms, while Li Yan's uncle closed his eyes and was silent. Aunt Guo Fu, who didn't notice the intriguing eyes of the Wang family, lowered her head and sighed for this big family that seemed to be prosperous and harmonious on the surface. While Guo Yixuan looked at everyone's expressions, he didn't know that Guo Sheng was also looking at him silently.

Dense bamboos stand in two rows along the cobblestone paths, and bonsai of flowers and trees of different shapes are pleasing to the eye. The stones on the rockery are strangely shaped, like an immortal guiding the way, like a monkey watching the sea, like a crane flapping its wings and flying high vividly. A bright moon hangs in the sky, sprinkling a little light, shining on the growth of all things, and a thriving one. Guo Yixuan had no intention of sleeping late at night, walking alone in the courtyard, thinking about what had just happened, feeling a little aggrieved and depressed. "Mother-in-law Jin Lian is very old, and the Yellow Emperor family has not yet determined the heir to take over the entire empire, so Guo Changyi has been interested in this position for a long time, and his father is the most favorable contender, so he made it clear to him today. Thinking of this, Guo Yixuan was furious, and scolded in the air: "If it weren't for the fact that you are an elder, I would really want to go up and slap you with big ears." ”

Unconsciously, Guo Yixuan walked to the artificial lake, and saw a person sitting in the pavilion in the middle of the lake, who was Liuli, the godgranddaughter of Jinlian's mother-in-law. I saw her dressed in white and elegant, sitting in the moonlight, looking up at the sky, her eyes were blurred, like a fairy under the moon. Guo Yixuan was fascinated, and involuntarily walked to the stone stop of the Huxin Pavilion, sat on his knees, and quietly admired a beautiful picture. "It's so late and you don't rest, you came here to disturb my Qing Xiu, Guo Yixuan, are you guilty?" A sweet and gentle voice sounded softly from Liuli's mouth. "From childhood to adulthood for so many years, I didn't know that you also had the qualifications of a creator, and those who didn't know were not guilty," Guo Yixuan said, "I am not a creator, I am a maverick existence, and my mother-in-law adopted me because she saw that my physique was different from ordinary people, and my eyes had the ability to purify people's hearts." All the techniques would be useless under my eyes. Three years ago, my talent awakened, and since then I have come to the Lake Pavilion every night to cultivate. Guo Yixuan first showed surprise and affection, and then gradually regained his composure. "Such an important secret, you actually told me this outsider. Let my mother-in-law know... "Are you considered an outsider?" Liuli interrupted Guo Yixuan's words, "The goddaughter of my mother-in-law looks beautiful, but since I was a child, I can only look at other people's faces and live without dignity." They don't treat me as a human being, not even as a maid. Call me back and forth, either beating or scolding. And I can only endure it. The more Ruri spoke, the more excited she became, her eyes were red and tears flowed down her face, "Then why don't you tell your mother-in-law?" "Mother-in-law, she is busy with imperial affairs all day, how can she have time to listen to my complaints." Besides, I really told her, will she believe me? It didn't get better until three years ago when my abilities became apparent, but I knew in my heart that they only used me, and when they had no value, they would throw me away like garbage. And you, Guo Yixuan, from childhood to adulthood, only you treat me as a human being, and only you are really good to me. I also know that you really like me, do you remember when we were eight years old when Guo Sheng bullied me, and you fought with him?" "I remember" Guo Yixuan said, "I still remember when I was ten years old, I didn't dare to sleep on a thunderous and rainy night, and you took my hand to coax me to sleep" "I also remember" Guo Yixuan said, "Then do you remember the oath we made when we were fourteen years old under the cedar tree in the red wheat field, and we took the oath of pulling the hook and hook?"

Hearing this, Guo Yixuan's brain suddenly went blank and froze in place. When he came to his senses, his heart was like boiling water in a pot, and he was in a dilemma, and he said hesitantly: "This... This... It's too sudden, though... As much as I like you, but ... But marriage is a big event, how can it be child's play. I must go back and tell my parents before I can marry you openly. "What if your parents don't agree with me because of my humble status?" asked Ruri aggressively. "I, I don't know. Okay, it's getting late, I'm going back to rest, and you can go back to bed early. Guo Yixuan lowered his head, didn't dare to look at Liuli's eyes anymore, turned around, and walked towards the lake without looking back. Seeing that he was about to reach the end of the lakeshore, Liuli's heart-rending cry suddenly came from behind him, "Mother-in-law wants to marry me to Guo Sheng, and we will get married next month!" Like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, Guo Yixuan was stunned in place, turned around and was about to speak, when a silver light flashed in front of him, and a silver needle was inserted into Guo Yixuan's chest. Guo Yixuan glanced at the silver needle, and suddenly felt that the world was spinning, and his consciousness began to blur gradually, and he vaguely saw a glass-white figure, running towards him from the pavilion in the middle of the lake, he closed his eyes and entered the endless darkness.
