198 Master of Mu Garden

A few days later, Jiaxing was once again lively because of the Lu family. After Lu Zhanyuan finally married a beautiful girl, his belongings disappeared overnight! Even the bracelet worn by the bride on her wrist and the jewels hidden in the secret compartment are gone! Lujiazhuang, which was originally very wealthy, did not even have a penny left overnight except for some real estate, livestock, and furniture!

The Lu family is also from the rivers and lakes, and there are at least a dozen martial arts experts in the family, but no one found out that the things in the house were stolen. This makes many people feel that although the Lu family is very famous, it doesn't seem to be as powerful as rumored, otherwise how could someone empty their homes unknowingly? Lujiazhuang's prestige plummeted again, reaching the bottom. This made the Lu family angry, but they were helpless.

At the same time, the person who emptied the Lu family also became famous. Even if the Lu family is poor, it is an amazing person to be able to move so many belongings overnight. Although no one knows whether the person who did this is a man or a woman, and what he looks like, the people in the rivers and lakes who do good things still give this person a nickname, called "Qiankun Moves His Hand", and calls him the number one thief in the rivers and lakes today.

Li Xiang didn't care about these false names, but was quite admired for the wealth of Lujiazhuang. This night can make him tired enough, the Lu family has so many good things. All kinds of antique calligraphy and paintings alone are enough to fill seven or eight large boxes, with a total value of more than 200,000 taels of gold, silver and copper coins. In this era, people with so much cash can definitely be called extremely rich. What's more, there are so many antique calligraphy and paintings, and the value is definitely dozens of times more than cash. Just this vote is enough for Li Xiangan to live a stable and prosperous life for more than ten years.

With this money, Li Xiang continued to live at home, practicing every day, raising flowers, and teasing his son. The little days are very free. And with the passage of time, Li Xiang also got used to the feeling of being often sucked by Xiao Yang, and gradually became less resistant.

By the way, there is one more thing, that is, Xiao Yang Guo is not called Yang Guo now. Originally, Yang Guo's name was the name that Mu Nianci took the initiative to ask Guo Jing to give when he met Guo Jing. But this time it was Li Xiang's turn to call the shots. didn't open this mouth to Guo Jing at all. He didn't take the initiative to say it, Guo Jing naturally didn't want to get up and name someone else's son, even if it was the son of a sworn brother, so Xiao Yang Guo is now called "Yang Ling" by Li Xiang.

Time passed in the leisurely days, and a year passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Yangling is one year old, and he looks even more pink and jade, and he is very cute. And he can stagger around, and he can also say simple words. Whenever Xiao Yang Ling ran over with two little short legs, hugging Li Xiang's thighs. When he called "Mom" in a milky voice, even if Li Xiang always thought that he had a man's heart, he couldn't help but be melted.

Whenever this time, Li Xiang couldn't help but think, when he returned to reality, should he marry He Qi early and have a child to play? But that's all for later, and the current Xiao Yang Ling is not bad. It's pretty, smart, and fun.

But there's a problem. In the past, the time travel was in the early or middle part of the story, and before the end of the story, it was bound to return to the real world. But the starting point of this crossing is the end of "Shooting the Condor", and now it has been a year, and "Shooting the Condor" has long ended, and it will be about nine years later. will enter the story of "Condor". Is he going to spend ten years here this time? Maybe it's more than ten years, but the story of "Condor" started when Yang Guo was about ten years old and didn't end until he was in his thirties, who knows when Li Xiang will be able to wear it back?

Li Xiang also thought about committing suicide and going back, but if he died. Xiao Yangling will become an orphan. Now that Xiao Yangling is still so young, if he becomes an orphan, it will be too pitiful, and he is really reluctant. Moreover, his current life is really very comfortable, more comfortable than in the real world, which makes him just as reluctant.

Just when Li Xiang was leisurely strolling around his garden with Xiao Yangling in his arms, thinking crankily in his head, a servant woman suddenly came to report that the local Li was visiting. Ri was the youngest official of this era, younger than the village chief. However, no matter how small an official is, he has power in his hands, and Li Xiang is not good at losing face, otherwise there will be a lot of trouble. So after hearing the report, he handed Xiao Yangling over to the servant woman and went to see Lizheng himself.

Li Zheng's surname is Deng, and he handled it when Li Xiang bought this manor, and the two sides are already acquaintances. As soon as Li Xiang entered the living room, he smiled and said, "Deng Lizheng, you are a rare guest, why do you have time to come to my small courtyard?" ”

Deng Lizheng glanced at Li Xiang and didn't dare to look at it again, looking a little cramped. It's no wonder that Deng Lizheng is really Li Xiang has changed too much in the past year. Mu Nianci was already very beautiful, otherwise she would not have made Yang Kang fall in love with her. It's just that Mu Nianci has been living in the rivers and lakes with Yang Tiexin since he was a child, sleeping in the open air, and he is a little haggard at a young age. But now Li Xiang eats and drinks well, and his dress is also up a few grades, plus Li Xiang has inherited the temperament of beauties such as Wang Yuyan and Qin Mengyao, and it is far from being comparable to the original Mu Nianci.

The current Li Xiang is several times more beautiful than the original Mu Nianci, and he can be called graceful and elegant, and his elegance is peerless. Although Deng Lizheng is a petty official, he has never traveled a hundred miles, how have he ever seen such a beauty? At this time, when we met, I didn't know where to put my naturally nervous hands.

Li Xiang saw that Deng Lizheng was distracted, and asked again: "Deng Lizheng, Deng Lizheng!" I don't know why you came to me? ”

Deng Li was woken up by Li Xiang, smiled embarrassedly, and said: "Oh, that's the case, I have to congratulate Mrs. Mu first, something good has come to the door!" ”

Li Xiang said lightly: "Oh, what a good thing, where does my joy come from?" ”

Deng Li said: "We have a new prefect in Jiaxing, have you heard of Mrs. Mu?" ”

Li Xiang shook his head and said, "I'm bored at home all day, how can I know these things." The prefect came when he came, what does it have to do with me? ”

Deng Lizheng said with a smile: "This new prefect Xu is amazing, he was admitted to the Jinshi at the age of twenty, and then he has been on the rise, and he is only thirty-five years old this year, and he is already a prefect." After his old man arrived in our Jiaxing office, he heard the name of Mu Niangzi out of nowhere, and specially called Xiao Lao'er to ask me to be a matchmaker, and I want to marry Mu Niangzi and you as a concubine! Mu Niangzi, isn't this a good thing? As Lord Xu, even if he wants to marry a yellow flower girl, there are people who are willing to give their daughters away, but Lord Xu just takes a fancy to Mu Niangzi you. Mu Niangzi, you are also a widow now, and you have a son, it is not easy to find a suitable family, and a good family like Lord Xu is even more difficult to find, you ......"

Li Xiang didn't expect to encounter this kind of thing, he was really a little crying and laughing. Looking at the way Deng Lizheng spoke, he interrupted impatiently: "Thank you Deng Lizheng for your kindness, it's just that my husband has just passed away for a year, and it is not etiquette to marry someone now." I appreciate Deng Lizheng's kindness, but I can only let you down. ”

In this era, etiquette is very important, and when the husband dies, the wife keeps filial piety for three years is the basic etiquette. Of course, these are all things that only scholarly families pay attention to, and ordinary people rarely ask for such strictness. But since Lord Xu was born as a Jinshi, he is naturally also a scholar, so he can't help but pay attention to these.

was said by Li Xiang, and Deng Lizheng had no words. Etiquette is not only for women, but also for men. If Li Xiang really marries Lord Xu, not only will Li Xiang violate the etiquette law, but if Lord Xu is ginseng, he will be disgraced and dismissed. Therefore, as soon as this reason came out, Deng Lizheng couldn't persuade anymore, so he could only sigh and leave.

Li Xiang originally thought that this matter would be over, but he didn't expect that the next day, a tax collector and two officials broke into Mu Yuan, saying that Li Xiang was evading taxes and asking her to go to the court. At this time, Li Xiang understood, what kind of Lord Xu is soft, not hard, he has to make him succumb. In the past year, Li Xiang has heard the rumors that the owner of Mu Yuan is rich, and presumably Lord Xu is thinking of both people and money.

For this kind of person, Li Xiang was naturally not polite, and he rewarded him with a kick and kicked out the tax collector and the official officer. Then Li Xiang personally went to the prefect's yamen, and with a flash of his sword, he shaved the beard of the prefect Xu.

Governor Xu can sit in the position of the head of the first mansion, naturally he is a person who knows advance and retreat, and knows the benefits and disadvantages, and found that Li Xiang is a Jianghu person, and his martial arts are very powerful, how dare he trouble him again? hurriedly died down, not daring to make any more trouble.

However, the prefect didn't dare to make trouble, and the official who was kicked away had no obligation to keep Li Xiang secret. Although he didn't dare to talk about the prefect, he still didn't have any scruples about talking about Li Xiang, so Li Xiang's reputation for being beautiful and having high martial arts spread out.

The prefect doesn't want to provoke the Jianghu people, but the Jianghu people don't care about that. The owner of Mu Yuan is very beautiful, and he has a lot of money, who doesn't want to get both people and money? So less than half a month later, a well-known martial artist came to the door to ask for marriage, and he put down the big words arrogantly, if Li Xiang didn't agree, he would burn Mu Yuan. As a result, he was beaten like a pig's head by Li Xiang and hung on a big tree at a crowded intersection, which made him lose face. After being put down, he didn't even want his family business, and immediately hid his face and fled, not knowing where he went.

Although there is a lesson from the past, the people in the rivers and lakes do not shed tears when they don't see the coffin, and they feel that their martial arts are much stronger than that martial artist, so they are naturally not afraid of being beaten by Li Xiang. So the second suitor also came to the door, but the result was no different, he was still beaten into a pig's head and hung on a big tree at the intersection.

But this still couldn't deter everyone, and then a well-known figure in Jiangnan martial arts came to the door. But this time he was smarter, and he only said that he was here to learn martial arts. If you win, let's talk about proposing, if you lose, you won't be hung on a tree. Fortunately, he didn't mention marrying Li Xiang, and he was beaten in less than three moves, although he was also ashamed, but at least he retreated. (To be continued.) )
