In the ancestral hall of the Li family, only Li Haiting was left to wander alone.

It was only at this moment that he finally took off all his disguises, and there was no sneer or pretended majesty on his face, but a little more tired.

After wandering and pacing for a long time, he finally sat down on the chair, his back was slightly rickety, and at this moment, the head of the Li family looked a little helpless.

That year, he had just ascended to the position of the head of the family, and it was the time when he was arrogant, but he didn't expect to get drunk and make a big mistake, at that time, the climate on the side of the Blood Axe Gang had been established, and the Ji family had always been extremely jealous, and he had not long succeeded to the throne, how could he dare to make a mistake and give the Lin family a name? Originally, he wanted to let the mother and son live outside and help by himself, but the Ji family still refused to give up, and actually forcibly dragged them into the Li Mansion.

Over the years, he has more or less known what the Ji family has done secretly, but the Blood Axe Gang is getting bigger and bigger, and Ji Tianqiu is a brutal and vicious meat knife, so he has to turn a blind eye and save the lives of the mother and son as much as possible.

But to be honest, although the Lin family is beautiful, she is not a peerless beauty, her status is low, her mother's family has no one, plus Li Hao has been wooden since he was a child, and he has no cultivation talent, in his heart, the status of his sister-in-law Li Xiu is undoubtedly much higher, and there is no suspense about the position of the future head of the family.

Unbeknownst to him, in just a few months, the earth-shaking changes have taken place, and since that accident, the kid is like a different person.

The Mandate of Heaven Tablet is broken, don't say that the Li family Pingyang City, even the entire empire has never had such a situation, such a talent, combined with the calm mind shown during this time, if he really handed over the family to him, I am afraid that he can really return to the prosperity of hundreds of years ago.

"However, how should Rou'er's side be appeased, with her and Ji Tian's enmity personality, how can she give up, not to mention, that kid is entangled with Pingmei, and Yun Yantian's side is also a big trouble. ”

Li Haiting frowned, he lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and suddenly a strange light flashed in his eyes, as if he had finally thought of a good idea.

"Perhaps, that's all it takes. Muttering, he stood up and raised his head to call out: "Come on, invite the master of the Yuanfang Hall!"

"Yes!" the guard outside the door answered, and after a while, the door was opened, and Li Yuanfang walked in.

He also seemed to be very haggard, his eyes were bloodshot, and when he saw Li Haiting's perfunctory arching hand, he said indifferently: "Family master, what do you have to order?"

Seeing his attitude, Li Haiting frowned slightly, but he didn't pursue it more, and asked, "You were in charge of Xiu'er's family affairs last time, I don't know which girl you were looking for?"

Hearing Li Xiu's name, the corners of Li Yuanfang's mouth twitched slightly, and he lowered his head: "Family master, at that time, Yuanfang was just a simple inquiry, and it had not yet been determined, not to mention that now he is ...... son."

"It's okay, I'll listen to you one by one. Li Haiting interrupted him lightly.

Li Yuanfang was very unhappy, but he had to answer honestly: "The head of the family, I inquired about five daughters at that time. The first daughter of the Huang family, beautiful in appearance, knowledgeable, the Huang family is also the first tyrant in Qinglin City, and my Li family is also a good match; the second is also from Qinglin City, and is the second lady of the Jade Dragon Gang...... The last is the eldest lady of the Aoki Pharmacy in the west of the city, although the power of the Aoki Pharmacy is not as strong as the previous ones, but the backing of the Aoki family is not to be underestimated, and the Aoki Lady I have also inquired, she is soft and beautiful, and she is capable, but now she is the female shopkeeper of the Aoki Pharmacy, and she is a little stronger......

In this way, Li Yuanfang recited the origin of several girls as if chanting scriptures, Li Haiting frowned at first, but when he heard the last time, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and asked: "The Aoki family, but is it the richest family in the empire?"

"Yes, the Aoki family makes a living by selling elixir weapons, and their business spreads throughout the empire, although it has declined a lot over the years, but each city in the empire has its own industry, and this Aoki medicine shop is also in their name. ”

Li Yuanfang nodded secretly, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Then Miss Aoki sounds like she shouldn't be very old, why did she become the shopkeeper of the medicine shop?"

"I don't know about this, but I know that she came here half a year ago and immediately became the shopkeeper. Li Yuanfang said.

"That's right. Li Haiting listened and lowered his head and pondered for a long time, and finally made up his mind, raised his head and said lightly: "Okay, it's nothing...... You go and call Li Hao to the inner hall now, I have something to order. ”

"Inner hall?" Li Yuanfang's face changed slightly, the inner hall of the ancestral hall can only be entered by the descendants of the family, even he, as the hall master, can only discuss matters in the outer hall at the moment, this old guy does this, does he want that little to recognize his ancestors and return to his ancestors?

"What's the matter, what's the problem?" asked Li Haiting coldly.

Li Yuanfang's face was a little ugly, so he had to lower his head to hide his emotions: "Yes, Yuanfang understands." ”

After speaking, he lowered his head and slowly retreated, but in those blood-red eyes, there was a flash of calmness.

......

At the same time, inside the calciner room.

Li Hao came over early today, not because he was so hardworking, but because those newly recruited craftsmen and cooks were coming over this morning.

"I haven't seen that little girl for a few days, and I miss it strangely. Li Hao stood in the courtyard and looked out of the door, just like a resentful woman in the boudoir looking through the autumn water.

Behind him were a few old stewards, and Old Man Liu stared at Li Hao, who was looking forward to it, and felt a little strange in his heart: Isn't there some new work? Why is this lazy boy suddenly so active?

"Steward Liu, there were no accidents when we recruited craftsmen and cooks this time, right?"

"It's not a big trouble...... Old man Liu thought for a while and said: "It's the Xiao Yu'er that the adult explained, she was a little reluctant at first, but then it seemed that her mother-in-law's family persuaded her a few words, and she came over." ”

"Oh?" Li Hao was stunned, the in-laws of the Yang family, with the old stubbornness of the Yang family, they would actually persuade Xiao Yu'er to be a cook in turn?

He didn't speak, and Old Man Liu couldn't guess his thoughts, and a row of people stood stupidly under the sun like this.

However, the beauty didn't wait, but saw an annoying face from a distance, Li Hao looked at the guy who came over, and frowned, because this was Li Yuanfang.

"Elder Hao, you are very beautiful now!" Li Yuanfang walked in front of Li Hao and said with a smile.

"The master of the Yuanfang Hall praised you, how can Li Hao compare to you when you are old and strong, and you have unlimited energy...... I wonder if you have anything to teach you when you come today?"

Li Hao also said lightly, the words were good, and there was a respectful expression on his face, but Li Yuanfang just felt that there was a sneering and contemptuous look in his eyes, and his face became more and more gloomy.

He snorted heavily, and said coldly: "The head of the family asked you to wait at the ancestral shrine in half an hour and listen to the teachings." ”

"Li Haiting?" Li Hao was slightly surprised, although he and Li Haiting have the name of father and son, the relationship is a few points worse than that of strangers, why did he suddenly find himself, could it be that the assassination last night was exposed?

"But Li Yuanfang's expression doesn't look like it!" Li Hao was full of hesitation, and said without changing his face: "Okay, I know." ”

"Let's go, then. Li Yuanfang gave a cold explanation, and then turned around and left.

"Alas, it seems that I can't see that little girl for the time being. Li Hao sighed with some regret and had to follow.
