The old man of the Chen family, who was the world's man Rui, everyone called the ancestor, sat in a paulownia car surrounded by indigo muslin, great-grandson Chen Yingquan rode a horse and followed the car, and more than a dozen elders followed the old servants, who were low-key and could not be more low-key, and entered the side door of the Li Mansion.

Mrs. Chen took Li Sanye, Mrs. Yuan and her granddaughter Li Ruo, who had already greeted the door, and saw the car of the ancestor of the Chen family coming in, Mrs. Chen hurriedly took a few steps forward and reached out to open the curtain, Li Sanye hurriedly took a step forward, took the curtain from her mother and held it, Mrs. Chen wanted to help the ancestor of the Chen family, but was waved by the ancestor of the Chen family not to, "Although I am old, I can get off the car by myself." ”

Old Madam Chen hurriedly retracted her hand and put her hand aside, the old ancestor had a big temper and said yes, this is something everyone knows.

"You guys, I haven't been here for decades." The ancestor of the Chen family got out of the car, took the dragon head crutch from the hand of his great-grandson Chen Yingquan, and turned his head to look around, "Alas, look at the way your house is now, it's really embarrassing, not to mention the old Li Xiangguo, it was the time of the little Li Xiangguo...... Forget it, Baiyun Canggou, who would have expected the world. ”

Old Madam Chen lowered her head and listened, not knowing what to answer, she couldn't answer this question.

"It's all the incompetence of the children and grandchildren." Li Sanye looked guilty, and the ancestor of the Chen family nodded, "No, if it weren't for the incompetence of your descendants, why would your house be like this?" Alas, sad. ”

The words of the ancestor of the Chen family made Li Sanye's face swell, and he couldn't take it anymore. Chen Yingquan looked at Li Sanye sympathetically, leaned closer, and said in a low voice: "Don't mind Sanye, the ancestor has such a temper, and Daddy often can't hold his head up by what he says." ”

"My ears are good." The ancestor of the Chen family paused in front of him, and knocked twice on the ground with his cane, Chen Yingquan winked at Li Sanye, and said with a mouth shape: "Big temper!" ”

Li Sanye laughed and hurriedly held back, and Mrs. Chen couldn't help but want to laugh, saying that the ancestor favored his grandson the most, and it was true.

Mrs. Chen took her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, respectfully let the ancestor of the Chen family into the back hall, the ancestor of the Chen family sat on the top of the house, and several old servants who followed in were unhurriedly placed on the table next to the teapot teapot tea bowl tea leak, Chen Yingquan was a little apologetic, "The ancestor only drinks his own tea, and the third master is annoyed to let people take a red clay stove." ”

"Go ahead and get these down." Old Madam Chen hurriedly ordered, and Li Sanye took a few steps closer, took the red clay stove, and personally handed it over.

The ancestor of the Chen family waited for the old servant to make tea and handed it over, picked it up and blew it for a while, took a sip, and said a few tongues, then he sighed with satisfaction, looked at Mrs. Chen and asked, "Where is your eldest lady?" Why didn't you come? ”

"Ruo'er." Old Madam Chen couldn't cry or laugh, and hurriedly pushed Li Ruo, "Hurry up and ask the ancestor for peace, the ancestor doesn't remember Ruo'er?" ”

"I'm talking about your eldest lady, not her." The ancestor of the Chen family glanced at Li Ruo, "Your eldest lady is back, I'll come over to see her." ”

Old Madam Chen was stunned for a moment, and then her face changed, she wanted to laugh but couldn't laugh, "Old Ancestor is really good at laughing, if Er is not the eldest sister in our house, how can there be any other eldest lady......" Facing the squinted eyes of the ancestor of the Chen family, Old Madam Chen couldn't finish speaking.

"Ancestor, yesterday was a girl, said that she came from Lu'an, but said that she was a descendant of the Li family in Nanyang, the wife did not know the roots, and did not dare to rashly admit her relatives, the ancestor also knew that people like ours were confused by the bloodline, so they placed her down first, and they had already let people inquire yesterday, and when it was clear that it was really the heir of the Li family, after opening the ancestral hall to recognize the ancestors and return to the ancestors, it would be good to talk about the ranking."

Seeing that Old Madam Chen was not easy to explain, Li Ruo explained unhurriedly.

"Invite her over, I made a special trip to meet her, the Pei family's junior seventeen said that it was your eldest lady, then it can't be wrong." The ancestor of the Chen family ignored Li Ruo's explanation and ordered again.

Old Madam Chen's face was pale, sitting on the chair, her back was straight as if an iron rod had been inserted, Li Sanye looked at Old Madam Chen a little flustered, Mrs. Yuan was angry and misplaced, she wanted to stare at the ancestor of the Chen family but didn't dare, she only stared at the shoes of the ancestor of the Chen family and was ruthless.

Li Ruo's face was also a little pale, looking at Mrs. Chen, who was about to explode, she subconsciously looked at Chen Yingquan, Chen Yingquan shook her head at her, Li Ruo retracted his gaze, lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Bring me the box." The ancestor of the Chen family instructed the old servant, and the old servant immediately bent down and took out an old and painted long box from the box full of tea leaves, and handed it to the ancestor of the Chen family.

The ancestor of the Chen family turned his hand and handed the box to Mrs. Chen, "This is brought by the Pei family's little seventeen, I have seen it all, you can take a look." ”

Li Sanye hurriedly stepped forward to take the box, took a few steps back and sent it to Mrs. Chen, the box opened as soon as it was lifted, and there were several rolls of yellow and old paper inside. Old Madam Chen took out the top and the oldest part, opened it, only glanced at it, her eyes were dazzled, and her body shook.

Li Sanye stood beside Mrs. Chen, and he could see it clearly, and with just one glance, his face turned pale.

This is a marriage book, and the name of his father Li Ronghai on the marriage book is extremely dazzling.

"There are still inside, look at them one by one, look at them all." The voice of the ancestor of the Chen family sounded very pleasant. Chen Yingquan leaned at his ancestor with a helpless expression.

In addition to Li Ronghai's marriage book, there is also Li Changnan's marriage book, as well as Li Changnan's handwritten letter to Gao Yannian.

"Something is something, this person ......" Old Madam Chen only felt a breath of stuffiness in her chest, and she must spit it out.

"I heard that the eldest lady and the Li family ancestor were born very similarly." The ancestor of the Chen family sipped his tea, "Whether your Li family recognizes it or not, that's your Li family's business, I have lived for so many years, and I have never been nosy." When I was young, there were not many people who could talk about it, Lao Li Xiangguo was one, alas, in the blink of an eye, he had passed away for decades, and it was also a consolation to be able to look at his descendants. ”

Old Madam Chen's hands trembled and she could barely hold the box, Li Ruo hurriedly stepped forward to hold the box, and persuaded in a low voice: "Mother, the ancestor will come over in person......"

Old Madam Chen took a deep breath, "Go and invite her." ”

Li Yan slept very sweetly this night, in this strange and hostile place, she was like going home, no one in this small courtyard told her the rules, Li Yan slept until three strokes in the morning, and when the mother-in-law trotted over to let her go to the back hall, she had just washed up and was changing clothes.

Hearing that someone from the Chen Mansion came to see her, the only thing Li Yan could think of was Chen Yanfeng. I didn't hurry to change my clothes, drank a bowl of porridge, and ate two meat buns, so I took Yushu and Mama Kong and followed my mother-in-law to the back hall.
