After inspecting the vouchers to prove their identity, Li Xiaomu and his entourage were warmly received by the He family. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

The contemporary patriarch He Rong is an old man in his sixties, thin and small, dressed in ordinary clothes, and if he meets him on the street, it is not an exaggeration to be regarded as the lowest-level peddler's pawn.

But he is such a person, but he has thousands of family fortunes, and he is willing to give, so for the rich, for the poor, and even more so for the "Jingmiao Palace" of the "Tianhe faction".

This was something Li Xiaomu had inquired about in detail before going down the mountain, but it wasn't until he met He Rong that his mind completely changed-

Regarding the arrival of the disciples of the "Jingmiao Palace", the He family, from the housekeeper to the servants, was enthusiastic and irresistible, but the parent He Rong only showed one side, and his face was cold, as if the "Jingmiao Palace" owed him tens of thousands of taels of gold.

He Rong only said a few polite words to Li Xiaomu, and then hurried back to the room, and did not show up until the beginning of the dinner party that picked them up.

The banquet is very rich, with delicacies from the mountains and seas, mellow wine and fragrant tea, which can be seen from this It family's respect for the "Jingmiao Palace", but at the same time, it also exposes a problem - this momentum is only high and not low, and it is more luxurious, but which one of the old men He Rong is playing - cold face opposite, not to let this "consummation" draw a heavy failure that is not "in tune"? !

Half of the big head was secretly dragged by Li Xiaomu to his side, and he didn't know what to whisper, he returned to his original position and shouted that his stomach hurt, saying that he had eaten something bad in the morning, and he ran to the thatched house in a hurry.

After the meal, several people went back to their rooms, and the five people were arranged in several adjacent houses, which were spacious and bright, with dim sum tea on the table, blazing lamps hanging on the four walls, clean and tidy beds, and a pure heart and pure fragrance in front of the window, everything looked so peaceful, obviously carefully arranged.

After the servants in charge of taking care of him had retreated, several people came to Zhong Zichao's room again, and first checked his injuries, but fortunately, he was just a little tired, and the aura in his body was still running, and he didn't know how much better than last night. Then, they sat down together again, and Tao Tao spoke first-

"I think there's something wrong with Old Man He. ”

Luo Shu'er nodded violently, "I think so too." ”

Li Xiaomu was laughing, "Even if you can see it, then he is really wrong." ”

Luo Shu'er glared back fiercely.

Li Xiaomu didn't wait for her to scold, and hurriedly nodded his chin at the big head, "Say, what did you find?"

"There was food and drink in the front yard to entertain us, but the back yard was dead, and no one had a smiling face, and they all cried and cried, as if, as if—" said the big head.

"It seems to be a funeral?" Luo Shu'er was straightforward, and she regretted it a little after speaking, the He family took care of them so much, but she cursed people.

"On the contrary," said the big head, "they are doing happy things." ”

"Happy event?!" Luo Shu'er and Tao Tao exclaimed in unison.

"Yes, the backyard is decorated with lights, the red silk cloth and dowry are almost piled up, the doors and windows are pasted with the word "happy", and the wedding room is also ready, which is a happy event. Big Head said.

"Who's happy?" asked Luo Shu'er.

"I heard that it is the daughter of the old man He, who is twenty-eight years old-" The big head said, "The old man has no children for half his life, and he is happy to have a daughter in middle age. ”

"Marrying a girl? This is a good thing--" Tao Taoqi said, "What are they crying about? Could it be that the son of the big official family is a scourge in the township? Is it a tyrant in the city?

"No—" The big head shook his head, "the official is honest and upright, and his son is even more humble and honest. ”

"That, that is, the age difference between the children of the two families is too big, and the mother's family feels at a loss. Luo Shu'er also asked.

"No, the daughter of the He family is sixteen, and the son of the Lang family is eighteen, the age matches, it is a match made in heaven. "And the parents of the two families are quite satisfied, and there is absolutely no discord." ”

Luo Shu'er saw that the big head was still chewing words at a young age, and she was anxious, "Big head, don't be like some people, you have to sell off and go around in circles when you speak, what is going on, hurry up!"

"That's all—" said the big head in despair, "and when I ask them again, they won't say a word more, and they don't know what secrets they have, and they all sigh." ”

"That's strange...... Luo Shu'er scratched her head, "It's not for things, it's not for people, then, it can only be for money!" she suddenly realized, "It must be that the He family has suffered a big change, and the money is insufficient, so ...... Hey, what about you—" She glared at Li Xiaomu, "Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Li Xiaomu was lying on the window to look outside, the courtyard was bright and dark, knowing that there was a weak cry, the moonlight sprinkled down, through the mottled leaves, reflecting tiny spots on the ground, like countless eyes in the night.

"Hey, what about you!" Luo Shu'er urged again.

Li Xiaomu still didn't answer, staring closely at the shadows under the flowers and trees, except for the moon shadow, there seemed to be other lights flickering there, which were ink-coated swords.

Luo Shu'er stopped arguing, because she followed Li Xiaomu's gaze and also found those people hiding in the shadows, she frowned, "Are you trying to deal with us?"

A stout young man passed by the door, his eyes kept looking at the wall of the courtyard, as if he didn't pay attention to the few people in the room, he glanced into the darkness from time to time, and strode away at the end of the corridor.

"It's Luo Fang-" Datou said, "The He family's nursing home is the head." ”

Luo Shu'er also remembered that she had heard the housekeeper mention it during the day, that young man was proficient in martial arts, diligent in practice, and was a good hand in this "mountain city".

"It doesn't look like it's against us. Li Xiaomu said, "They are guarding against people outside." ”

"Who?" Luo Shu'er knew that she was talking nonsense after asking, and hurriedly said, "Then, what should we do now?"

Li Xiaomu raised his eyebrows, "Lie down ......"

"Lai, Lai?!" Luo Shu'er was stunned.

"Yes, compared to 'Lai', there are few opponents in the world who are our opponents......"

Luo Shu'er didn't quite understand what Li Xiaomu meant at the time, but the next day, she finally saw what the real "Lai" was......

......
