"Great Elder, you have completely abandoned your feelings for Li Xiaoxi, right?"

"A little girl will grow up and will no longer be a little girl when she grows up."

Li Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and turned to leave while nodding, laughing at his naivety.

"After three days, whether the old man will make a move depends on what kind of chips you can provide to the old man. Li Xiaofeng, don't forget your mission. Also, Li Xiaoxi is counting on you. ”

Li Xiaofeng walked out of Li Zhiyan's room without looking back, and closed the door of the room when he left.

On the day of the wedding

In the early morning, Li Xiaofeng and the subordinate designated by Li Zhiyan pretended to rush from the city wall to the inner city, and Li Xiaofeng walked in front and stared at the gradually clear residential area with an expressionless face. The red lantern looming in front of him was imprinted in his blank brain at the moment, and instead of becoming clear because of the closer distance, it became more and more blurred.

Finally, when he was approaching the hour after walking for more than an hour, the subordinate beside him opened his mouth and reminded: "Sir, Fuxiang Restaurant has arrived, should we go back to the restaurant first or go directly to Hongfu?" ”

"You go back first, and then I'll go to Hongfu with my father to congratulate."

"Yes"

The restaurant was not open for business today, Li Xiaofeng went directly from the back door to the backyard of the restaurant, and explored the situation of the restaurant all the way. When he came to the door of his father's room, Li Xiaofeng reached out and knocked on the door with some hesitation.

"Is Feng'er back?"

"Yes, Father"

When Li Xiaofeng saw his father, who was old and haggard, open the door, a feeling of inexplicability in his heart made him feel a little difficult to breathe. In order not to let his father see his embarrassment, Li Xiaofeng quickly adjusted his mood and entered the house with his father.

"It's the child who has caused my father," Li Xiaofeng turned around and knelt down for his father after closing the door.

"Hurry up, what does the family say, now only you and I are left to rely on each other, no matter what you want to do, you will support you." After his father helped Li Xiaofeng up, he also found a nearby place to sit down and continued to speak.

"Don't worry, the subordinates have all explained. After sending the gifts, they should have come back and continued to open their doors. I have also taken care of all the things you have explained. But if I don't go to Hongfu with you for a while, it won't arouse their suspicions, right? ”

"It's okay, they won't notice if we're there. It's just that my father must be more careful along the way, and I have already checked the city gate. All you have to do is follow the steps I told you to leave, and no one but me will be able to find you. ”

"Hehe, don't worry, son, if it weren't for Lao Tzu's lower realm, it wouldn't be your turn to give orders."

The man stood up, patted his son on the shoulder, grinned and pulled the door on his back with a small package on his back and left.

"Don't forget, son, that you are the eternal pride of your father and mother. If you decide, do it boldly, don't be afraid, we will always support you! ”

Hearing his father's words before leaving and looking at the dashing back, Li Xiaofeng scattered all the vague shadows in his mind, and finally stood up and went out with a firm look in his eyes.

When he came to the door of the restaurant, Li Xiaofeng felt depressed for the first time on the main road connecting the city gate and the inner city. There are big red lanterns on both sides of the street, but other than that, the street doesn't feel as lively as usual. From some words chatting on the street, Li Xiaofeng learned that the performance of Hongfu at this wedding seemed to be just a formality. In the morning, the procession of welcoming relatives went around the inner city, and did not even come to the outer city. People from the outer city stood on both sides of the road, waiting to watch the excitement, and the people only got a few hundred red envelopes that were scattered when the team turned around at the torii.

For those who were unable to attend the wedding in the outer city, it was as if they had met a fleeting family greeting party from an ordinary family in the morning, and it was over after it had passed. From the Fuxiang Restaurant, I can't even hear whether Hongfu has let off firecrackers today.

Due to the wedding banquet held in Hongfu, Li Xiaofeng walked into the inner city easily today, and he couldn't remember the last time he entered this area openly. I thought that the inner city would be a different lively scene, but I didn't expect it to still look lifeless.

When I came to the street at the entrance of Hongfu, the scene changed slightly. At the door, only the chief housekeeper and the second master of the Hongfu were in charge of receiving the guests, and behind the door were seven or eight housekeepers and a bookkeeper who were busy collecting gifts. may be because there is less lively firecrackers, and the characters and lanterns at the door make Li Xiaofeng feel a little redundant.

Li Xiaofeng took out the invitation card and handed it over, and the chief butler quickly took it and said, "Young Master Xiaofeng, please." And the second old man had never even looked at Li Xiaofeng, as if this was an ordinary banquet held by the Hong Mansion, and there was no need to waste time with these little people.

Entering the door, Li Xiaofeng watched the busy people running around, wishing to grow two more legs and two hands, and even when the red lantern in a corridor was knocked to the ground, no one paid attention to it, so he let the breeze blow it into the pond little by little. Walking through the garden in the front yard, Li Xiaofeng came to the door of the main hall, which was already full of famous people in the city, and Li Xiaofeng's seat was at the back of the door. No one greeted him along the way, and he hid and sat firmly in his position.

At the moment of taking his seat, Li Xiaofeng finally understood that what this wedding banquet lacked was not the liveliness of firecrackers, but people's laughter and blessings.

Looking at the full guests on the high seat, listening to the words in their mouths that had nothing to do with the wedding, Li Xiaofeng got up to find the thatched house before the banquet officially began. When leaving the side door, Li Xiaofeng felt two eyes shooting from the main seat, one from Li Yihong and the other from the Great Elder Li Zhiyan. If it weren't for the city lord Li Linlin not being in the main hall at the moment, there might be a third gaze. Li Xiaofeng didn't turn his head, and left the main hall pretending not to know.

Niu Er stood guard near the side hall as scheduled, and Li Xiaofeng easily found him. deliberately pretended to ask for directions loudly, and walked towards Niu Er step by step.

"Yuhuan girl is okay, right?"

"Big brother wants to take her on the field himself."

"What's going on?"

"It's all this time, and we know that the gentleman has done his best."

"Where's the creek?"

"Miss Creek asked me to give this to you." Niu Er handed Li Xiaofeng a jade pendant with many holes of different sizes in the middle, but he didn't say the other sentence that Li Xiaoxi asked him to convey, 'It's not worth it for me, forget it'.

Li Xiaofeng took the jade pendant and turned around and went in the direction of Niu Erzhi's toilet.

When the auspicious time comes, the noisy Hongfu finally turns into a temple of earth-shattering musical instrument performance. When the bride and groom came to the door of the main hall, the sound of crackling firecrackers finally resounded through the heavens and the earth.

"Worship Heaven and Earth"

The two people who took the teacup at this time were Li Yihong and Li Zhiyan, and today's wedding really has what a wedding should look like. Everyone erupted in thunderous cheers and applause, where is this Hongfu marrying a daughter-in-law, it is clearly a marriage between two families. The people who had long been worried that the war between the two major families would affect their own interests were even more happy and celebrating, as for those who didn't know the true strength of the Hong Mansion and were worried about the Great Elder settling accounts after the autumn, they were even happier, and even shed tears of excitement. At this moment, I am afraid that only ignorant children will think that the union of the bride and groom makes everyone move and delight, so I want to know their touching love story.

"Husband and wife worship each other"

The content of the wedding in the back has returned to calm, but finally the atmosphere is not as heavy as before, the toast that should be toasted, and the stammering that should take the opportunity to stutter. Most of the people at the scene wanted to stammer, of course, Li Yihong or Li Zhiyan, but unfortunately they were not qualified, but the groom's father could still toast a few more times. Even if the second master of Hongfu drinks well, he can't withstand the bombardment of all the families, and after three rounds of drinking, everyone found that the new father-in-law was gone, and most people thought that he must have drunk and didn't know where to hide.

The city lord Li Linlin, who was sitting in the second place, first noticed that something was wrong and beckoned the housekeeper to come over.

"Didn't Young Master Li Xiaofeng come today?" For others, Li Xiaofeng may often ignore such a person because of his pretense of transparency in recent years, but for Li Linlin, he has not underestimated this businessman's child since fourteen years ago. Now, as the city lord and the number one master, it is impossible for him to ignore Li Xiaofeng's existence like others.

"It's coming, it's coming, but it seems that I haven't seen him since the banquet started." It was the chief butler who replied, and no matter how hard a butler like him usually worked, he had to be by his side at any time when the master might need him, so when the lord of the city just beckoned, he quickly ran behind the lord of the city.

"Where's the second master?"

"The second master seems to have suddenly remembered something important just now and returned to his yard."

"Go back at this time? What's important? ”

"Looks like something important has been left in the house."

Li Forest thought silently for a while, when he connected Li Xiaofeng, Li Xiaoxi, the Great Elder, the second brother, and the important items left behind... He got up directly and went to his father Li Yihong's courtyard.

When he opened his spiritual sense and searched Li Yihong's room without results, he didn't give up and took out a piece of jade pendant that was exactly the same as what Li Xiaofeng had just gotten. Pull open the drawer of the table in front of you, reach into the drawer with the jade pendant, buckle the jade pendant back on the back of the table in the drawer, and then push the drawer back. With a "click", a gap appeared on the edge of the bookshelf next to him, and Li Shulin opened the gap and got in.

However, after a while, he came out of the secret room in confusion, took the jade pendant and rushed towards the courtyard of the second brother. Li Forest pushed the door in directly, but what he didn't expect was that the second brother, who had just become the new father-in-law, was really sleeping on the bed because he had drunk too much. What he didn't expect even more afterwards was that when he returned to the banquet hall, Li Xiaofeng was drinking with a glass of wine and an official next to him.

Noticing Li Linlin's gaze, Li Xiaofeng did not dodge this time, but raised the wine glass in his hand and gestured to the city lord from afar to toast. But all this fell into Li Linlin's eyes, and it turned into a mockery of the winner to the loser. Li Linlin snorted coldly, too lazy to pay attention to this clown who wanted to die. After adjusting his mentality, he chatted with the two people on the main seat for a while about the song and dance performance he had prepared.

As the people successively replaced the delicious dishes on everyone's table with melon and fruit snacks, and the spirits were also changed to tea, the dancing girls appeared one after another. The melodious music and graceful dancing made everyone fascinated and even more dry. When almost everyone had drunk the tea in the small teapot in front of them, the dance music was just over. Li Xiaofeng clearly saw that the few people who needed the most attention had already drunk the tea, and no longer hesitated, and walked to the center of the hall step by step under the eyes of everyone who were puzzled and shocked.
