Chapter 2 The Family
"I said it, you and I met in Pingshui, I have no friendship, and my status is low, it is really inconvenient to go to the banquet, so I ask Zhao Gongzi not to be difficult in the strongman. In the courtyard, a girl in a white shirt was standing alone in front of the door, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, obviously she didn't like the few people in front of her.
Although there is a thin trace of anger on her face, there is still a warm and virtuous temperament in the girl's eyebrows and eyes, like a pure white lotus, which makes people feel calm at a glance and can't help but yearn for it.
"Haha, the girl doesn't have to excuse herself, I Zhao Guang wants you to go, you will naturally go, I won't tell you, I am the second son of the Zhao Mansion of the great family in Tianhe Province, and the Zhao family and the Qin family are also married through marriage, and the two families have a good relationship. There is this level of relationship, I help the girl redeem herself is also easy, today I met the girl by chance, very fateful, I really want to have a chance to talk with the girl under the moon, and please don't shirk the girl. In the courtyard, a young man in a red leopard brocade robe was standing there, speaking earnestly.
This young man wears a diagonal crown of hair climbing to the sky, a blue qiong belt around his waist, and a cheetah head embroidered in it on his chest, which looks very powerful. The hierarchy of the Tian Yuan Dynasty was extremely strict, and only the children of the family who had serving generals in the family could wear brocade robes embroidered with cheetah patterns.
is also a family, Li Yi has no generals in his family, so he can only wear a brocade robe with an eagle body.
"Thank you Zhao Gongzi for your love, no merit is not lost, Zhao Gongzi's banquet is too grand, the little woman is afraid that she can't afford it, besides, my brother is coming back soon, I have to take care of his daily life, it is really inconvenient to go out, Zhao Gongzi or please go back." The woman standing in front of the door of the house was Zhou Yun's sister Zhou Xue, so she asked Li Yi to go to Wutang to call Zhou Yun back, and she gave some of the finished roe deer meat to the Qin family who had taken care of their sister and brother before, but she didn't want to meet Zhao Guang when she came back, and she was chased to the courtyard where she lived under entanglement all the way.
Looking at the time, Zhou Yun should be coming back soon, and Zhou Xue's calm face also showed a trace of disgust, and she couldn't help but give an eviction order.
was rejected by Zhou Xue continuously, Zhao Guang was also a little angry for a while, and when he didn't speak, Zhao Guang fell silent.
Seeing the master's reflection, several subordinates behind Zhao Guang immediately understood.
"This girl, my master is noble, and he does not hesitate to deign to come, just to appreciate the girl's temperament, and want to invite the girl to the banquet, but the girl has repeatedly shirked it, I'm afraid it's not appropriate, right? A young man in a blue power suit stepped forward directly, said something to Zhou Xue, and rushed forward between words, wanting to forcibly pull Zhou Xue away.
Looking at the aggressive man in front of her, Zhou Xue's face also showed a little panic, but it was not chaotic, just as she was about to scold, a voice came first.
"Stop!" With a soft shout, a tall figure had appeared at the door of the courtyard, it was Zhou Yun who came in a hurry.
Zhou Yun suddenly appeared, and several subordinates who followed Zhao Guang's side, even Zhao Guang himself, were a little surprised. None of them were very weak in cultivation, Zhao Guang himself was also at the peak of skin training, and he would soon be able to break through to the warrior realm, and among his entourage there was also a person who had reached the intermediate level of martial arts, but these people did not notice Zhou Yun's approach at all.
Although surprised, Zhao Guang and the others all became contemptuous after seeing the thin coarse cloth clothes on Zhou Yun's body. It seems that this person is the younger brother in Zhou Xue's mouth, and it is obvious that this is also just a foreign servant of the Qin family, and he has no status.
"What is your identity, you dare to roar at me like this......" Replaced with a contemptuous look, Zhao Guang just opened his mouth to reprimand Zhou Yun. Another figure had already appeared behind Zhou Yun, and it was Li Yi who came later.
Seeing what Li Yi was wearing, Zhao Guang immediately stopped his words.
Li Yi's outfit is obviously also a child of a great family, although it is not the kind of family with in-service military generals, but there are three or four great families in Tianhe Province that do not have in-service military generals, and each family is not simple.
Moreover, not long after the founding of the Tianyuan Dynasty, every family at the family level had some connection with the core power structure of the Tianyuan Dynasty, and Zhao Guang did not dare to offend Li Yi.
Ignoring Zhou Yun directly, Zhao Guang hugged his fists at Li Yi and said loudly, "This brother is invited, the contemptible person is Zhao Guang of the Zhao Mansion of the great family of Tianhe Province, I don't know what Brother Tai is called?"
At this moment, Li Yi was still shocked by Zhou Yun's performance, and after feeling the qi and blood in the courtyard, Zhou Yun's body almost flew out, his knees were slightly bent between running, and his waist was pressed down, fast and agile, not only fast, but also completely silent. The strangest thing is that Zhou Yun didn't even have a trace of qi and blood when he was running, and this kind of cultivation has obviously far surpassed him.
Originally, I wanted to ask what Zhou Yun's footwork was, but the current situation was obviously not suitable.
Seeing Zhao Guang ask him, Li Yi also hugged his fists, "Contemptible Heyang Great Family Li Mansion, Li Yi." ”
Hiss......
After hearing Li Yi's response, Zhao Guang and the few servants he brought with him all secretly took a breath of cool air. The Li Mansion of the Great Family of Heyang City, this is an amazing family. When the Taizu of the Tianyuan Dynasty raised the matter, the Li family, as a large Yinzhuang household, funded a lot of money and grain, and supported it meritoriously.
After the Tianyuan Dynasty settled the world, the Li family's business became bigger and bigger, and the rich side was extremely low-key on the surface, and its reputation among the low-level civilians was not at all, but its power was absolutely not to be underestimated.
Li Yi appeared here, Zhao Guang didn't dare to talk nonsense, and saluted Li Yi again, Zhao Guang asked carefully, "It turned out to be Brother Li, disrespectful, I don't know why Brother Shi is here?"
In his opinion, it was unbelievable for a child of a great family like Li Yi to go to a place where the servants of the Qin family lived. Including himself, if it weren't for the marriage between the Zhao family and the Qin family, one of his aunts married into the Qin family, he came to visit this time and met Zhou Xue in the Qin family, I'm afraid he would never come to such a place in his life.
When he came in, he saw the situation in the courtyard, Li Yi had already guessed what was going on, and in the face of Zhao Guang's inquiry, Li Yi did not hide it, and said frankly, "Miss Zhou Xue inside is my confidante, and when I came here, I naturally visited her." ”
When the words fell, Li Yi didn't forget to look at Zhou Xue who was standing at the door of the house, and his eyes were open. As soon as Li Yi said such straightforward words, Zhou Xue's face also flew with two blushes, and she lowered her head slightly ashamedly.
Zhou Yun on the side saw all this in his eyes, and he appreciated Li Yi more and more in his heart, it was indeed a blessing for my sister to be able to meet such a person.
"I see, since this is the case, then the younger brother will not disturb the Yaxing of the younger brother, the younger brother has been living in the Qin family these days, and he will visit the Li Mansion when he has time, so he will leave today. Li Yi said those words, Zhao Guang knew that he was not suitable to continue to stay here, and arched his hand at Li Yi, and Zhao Guang said goodbye.
"Brother Zhao walks slowly, I won't send it far. Although there is still some anger in his heart, Li Yi is not an unreasonable person, the other party did not know before, and he left quickly after he explained the situation, which is not a big disrespect. Besides, the Zhao family is also a family with in-service military generals, so it is not appropriate to grudge, so Li Yi will no longer care.
With Zhao Guang and the others leaving, tranquility was restored in the small courtyard again.
"Sister, are you okay?" When Zhao Guang and the others left, Zhou Yun was ignored again, and Zhao Guang didn't even look at Zhou Yun. But Zhou Yun doesn't care about these things, what he cares about is the safety of his sister Zhou Xue.
Gently flicking the snowflakes stuck to Zhou Yun's clothes, Zhou Xue smiled and said, "They just want to invite me to the banquet, and they don't have any out-of-the-ordinary behavior, it's okay." ”
"That's good. An unwilling sharp color flashed in his eyes, Zhou Yun nodded slowly, and a smile resurfaced on his face.
"Okay, let's eat quickly, I'm hungry, and it's my fault that I didn't think about it for you. Xiaoxue, if you don't mind, I will send Uncle Qing over tomorrow, just live in the yard next door to you, my family is busy with business, and it is indeed inconvenient for me to come often, let Uncle Qing come over to take care of you, and Zhou Yun and I can rest assured. A smile dissolved the dull atmosphere between the three of them, and Li Yi spoke up.
The name of Uncle Qing in Li Yi's mouth is Li Qingquan, and he is also a foreign servant of the Li family, but because of his high cultivation and the peak of bone training, he also has a certain status in the Li family, and is one of Li Yi's personal servants.
"So, I'm going to bother you. The food and drinks are ready, so come in. Nodding at Li Yi, Zhou Xue spoke meekly.
Zhou Xue naturally knew Li Yi's intentions, and she had said before that she would not consider marrying someone until Zhou Yun was able to become independent. Although she had a good impression of Li Yi, Zhou Xue never gave a clear answer.
Li Yi wants to send someone over, if Zhou Xue agrees, it means that she has acquiesced in Li Yi's relationship with her. Although some of this violated her principles, Zhou Xue knew that it was also a good thing for Zhou Yun to let Li Yi send someone to protect her.
Li Yi was worried about her safety, so why wasn't Zhou Yun worried? Zhou Xue knew her appearance, and she also knew that she had a low status, and she was coveted by some powerful people, and there was almost no way to resist many dangers.
This arrangement can also make his younger brother more focused on preparing for martial arts, and after joining the army, he can devote himself to making contributions, and he can also let Li Yi do his own things with peace of mind. Although she violated her own principles a little, Zhou Xue did not refuse.
Seeing that Zhou Xue agreed, Li Yi's eyes also had a hint of joy, and he loved Zhou Xue more and more in his heart. This is a woman who knows how to advance and retreat, knows how to make trade-offs, and is empathetic. Although his background is not good, Li Yi knows that he did not choose the wrong person.
In an instant, Li Yi's heart also became relaxed, "Come, Zhou Yun, I'm very happy today, accompany me to drink a few more cups, this monkey roast is something I spent a lot of money to get, and it has a lot of strength, and it contains a lot of great supplements, which also promotes martial arts cultivation." Let's not get drunk today. ”
"Okay, don't get drunk and don't go home. He was also grateful for Li Yi's arrangement, and Zhou Yun also walked into the house with Li Yi with Shi Jing.
