Chapter 8 Chinese New Year
It's another cold winter, it's snowing like goose feathers outside, inspired by the cold wind, beating the earth rhythmically, groups of children are piling snowmen in the ground, having snowball fights, you chase me and fight, those pairs of red and swollen little hands, it looks so heart-wrenching.
But for them, this must not have any effect on their happiness, this is their paradise of joy, and there is nothing for them to have their own. Groups of children are constantly dancing in the snow, showing their beautiful dancing, so lively, the laughter nourishes everyone's heart, everyone remembers the picture full of memories, and looks forward to that time.
Time is in a hurry, it has been more than ten days in a blink of an eye, and the weather is still cold and windy, and snowflakes are flying, but under this sky, it is peaceful.
On this day, everyone is looking forward to it, on this day, everyone wants to stay, on this day, everyone is busy, on this day, everyone is laughing.
Everyone knows that this is a festival of reunion, they look forward to the warmth of reunion with their families, how many people want to be reunited with their families, but how many people are reunited? Everyone is pursuing their own goals, and they have even forgotten where their hearts belong.
Today is also the most lively day in the Li Mansion, the Li Mansion is full of joy, the people are full of lights, busy in and out, the owners of the house are also busy with their chores, the whole house has a happy face, as if this is their happiest and long-awaited day.
Every household in the imperial capital is decorated with lights, and it is lively, whether it is children, young people, young people, middle-aged people, or the elderly, they are all busy with their own affairs.
In the hall of the Li Mansion, Old Man Li sat on the main seat wearing a light blue robe, his silver hair draped over his back, and his face was full of joy.
Li Hao also sat down in a white robe today, his black hair was neatly draped over his shoulders, and two middle-aged people sat in the same row with Li Hao, and an old man who was slightly younger than Li Hao sat opposite Li Hao.
Li Hao's eldest brother Li Dao, who sits on top of Li Hao, he and Li Hao are half-brothers, Li Dao usually guards his hometown Pingyang Town, but there is the root of the Li family, and a person needs to guard it, it is difficult for ordinary people to take on this big responsibility, Li Dao is very ambitious and scheming, so Li Dao is the first choice, and also because Li Dao is also a general-level master, and he is also a top person in the small place of Pingyang Town.
Sitting below Li Hao is Li Hao's third brother Li Aonan, Li Aonan and Li Hao's two brothers of the same father and mother, the relationship between the two is also very good, but Li Aonan is naturally dull to cultivation, but he is a rare genius in managing business and business, so the responsibility of all the Li family's business houses is on him, but he did not disappoint the Li family, a huge business house is well organized by him alone, although he is stupid and talented, but he is also a great master of the water system.
Li Hao is a special one in this family, not only does he not care about anything up and down the Li Mansion, but he also lives in the Li Mansion, and he also has his own ** in the Li Mansion house, no one in the Li Mansion has such an example, but despite this, no one dares to say anything, first of all, he is not a concubine, his official position is no less than any person, and his strength in his life is second to Li Mad, and his three sons are all famous geniuses in the imperial capital, who will say anything, and Li Hao is modest, is there any person who offends, and he is still very popular in the Li Mansion.
Old man Li sat on the chair and listened to his sons' reports one by one, his face was full of excitement, Li Mansion has to report to the head of the family every year on the situation in Pingyang Town, report the income and expenditure of the economy, and the direction of development next year, and make plans for this.
"Well, this year's income is good, Ao Nan, it's all your credit, I hope you will continue to work hard next year. ”
"Dao'er, where you have to run your hometown well, that's the foundation of the Li family, you know?"
"Well, I got Dad. ”
"Alright, Hao'er, go and see how the meal is prepared. ”
Li Hao walked out of the hall and went to see the next person preparing the meal.
At this time, the Li Mansion was very lively, I don't know how many times it was more lively than usual, there were adults, children, women, gathered in groups to chat, but the women were praising this and that, saying how amazing your son is, how beautiful is your daughter, today is also the most lively day of the year in Li Mansion.
Li Aocheng was wearing a white cotton jacket today, and he was chatting happily with a group of teenagers of the same age, because he didn't cultivate, he couldn't resist the cold, so a group of them were dressed like pandas, wrapping themselves in airtight.
People in the Tianwu Continent learn the culture of the continent and some basic knowledge before the age of ten, and then they start to learn martial arts, and then choose their own cultivation path, after all, there are too many ways to cultivate, and everyone's cultivation methods are different.
It is rumored that in ancient times, some powerful people said that they should cultivate before the age of ten, because some parts of the human body have not yet developed and formed, so there will be certain restrictions on cultivation in the later stage, so they cannot reach the peak of martial arts.
Of course, for those families with a certain amount of strength, drugs or natural treasures can be used to shape the human body in advance, but those who are relatively strong in strength and wealth cannot afford it for those small families.
However, today Ling Caidie is wearing a long green dress, her dark hair is neatly draped on her back with a ribbon, and she is wearing some beautiful jewelry on her head.
Ling Caidie and a few women who were also dressed gorgeously, said this and that, praised this and that, and there were people next to them constantly reflecting it.
It didn't take long for Li Mad to walk in with a group of people, Li Mad walked to the main seat, looked at the spacious restaurant, Li Mad said to the people in the restaurant: "Sit down, today is the New Year, everyone is free to sit, eat and drink at will, don't be restrained." ”
It didn't take long for everyone to finish eating, and the people were cleaning up the restaurant, Li Mad looked at the people sitting below and said: " This year's harvest achievements of my Li family can be described as fruitful, it is quite good, not only the economic income and the development of the family, but also the external influence is very great, especially the cultivation of the younger generation has made great achievements, in these aspects my Li family can also be said to be not much worse than the others, my Li family's reserve force is also quite sufficient, not lagging behind other families, but for resources, we are still lagging behind a lot, after all, our Li family has not had much time to accumulate in the imperial capital, so we should pay attention to this aspect.
Although our Li family looks quite good now, but let me tell you, my Li family is facing a huge crisis, because our Li family is developing rapidly in the imperial capital, therefore, other families will inevitably squeeze our Li family, in this regard, we have to face the squeeze and challenge of the big family in the imperial capital, we must be prepared to face all this, prepare for the worst, I think you already know what to do, I don't need to say anything, this year is a bumper year, then I hope next year is better. ”
Li Mad then said: "This year, my Li family will add another batch of cultivation talents, and we will conduct a test after the New Year, I think you all know what is going on, mainly to test talent, physique and mental power, to see which direction is most suitable for you to develop in the future, I hope you are fully prepared." ”
"Well, although you are not yet ten years old, you are almost there, so you can test with them this year. ”
"Yes, Grandpa. ”
The New Year was spent happily in this way, and the next three days of preparation time were really anxious and exciting, and made people feel a little scared.
At the same time, as soon as the news of the Li Mansion test spread, many people in the imperial capital suddenly fell into anticipation, because they all knew that there was a genius in the Li Mansion, the genius in their hearts, and they also wanted to know how evil he was
