Qin Mo originally thought that the "nouveau riche" of the Li family should be a magnificent and extravagant scene, but when he walked inside, he found that this was not the case.

The Li family is not big, at least compared to those families in the imperial city, it is indeed small, but this small is infiltrated with philosophy, and the rockeries are stacked with each other into a mystery, similar to the mountains and forests, like a fox, strange and handsome, and the style is fully revealed.

Bamboo fences, thatched pavilions, thatched cottages and natural landscapes are integrated into one, simple and elegant, and a natural scenery

Walking into the inner hall, there was an old man who was already waiting, and when he saw Li Bai coming with guests, he was not surprised, and said, "Little master, the master is waiting for you in the lobby." ”

Seeing this old man, Li Bai immediately put away the smug look outside, and asked with a smile: "Uncle Liu, why hasn't the old man slept yet?"

"It's not big, it's not small. The old man scolded with a smile and said in a low voice, "It's not because of you that you went to the Yanyu Pavilion again?"

Li Bai was serious and said: "This time I didn't go to drink for fun, but for the sake of my family." ”

The old man didn't believe it, looked at Qin Mo beside him, and asked, "Who is this?"

Seeing this, Li Bai immediately looked proud and said, "You don't know this." ”

As he spoke, he patted Qin Mo on the shoulder and said proudly, "This is today's Wensheng Yes, I went to the Yanyu Pavilion today to catch up with my old friend." ”

"Is that the future literary saint who wrote the tanka line?" the old man was slightly surprised, and arched his hand, "Look up for a long time." ”

Qin Mo also owed a salute, and the old man said, "You are smart, but the person you offended this time is not small, don't want to be so confused, come with me." ”

The person who was called Uncle Liu was the housekeeper of the Li family, although he was a foreign surname, he had a deep belief in the old man of the Li family, and almost all the big and small things in the family were handled by him, and only those things related to the family's fortune were decided by the old man, and as for the old man's sons, they were all outside.

Li Bai is the eldest grandson of the old man and the only heir of the Li family, which is no wonder, because now in the third generation of the Li family, he is such a man.

Li Bai was no longer hypocritical, and he followed behind Steward Liu, but it made Qin Mo feel a burst of laughter in his heart, this guy looked completely different from the Li Bai outside.

When he arrived at the lobby, Steward Liu just pushed the door open, but did not go in, Qin Mo also wanted to follow up, but was stopped by Steward Liu, and said: "Mr. is not in a hurry, Master Rong will talk to the little master first, if you don't dislike it, how about going to the side room for a cup of tea with the old man?"

Hearing this, Li Bai suddenly cried with a sad face, but Steward Liu didn't pay attention to him at all, Qin Mo looked at his appearance, and knew that there was nothing good, but he was not ready to rescue Li Bai, and said, "So it will trouble Uncle Liu." ”

"Sir is gracious. Steward Liu raised his hand and said, "Please." ”

Qin Mo glanced at Li Bai strangely, and then went to the side room, under the advice of Steward Liu, Li Bai had to walk into the inner hall alone, looking at his slow steps, as if they were as heavy as a mountain.

In the side room, Steward Liu served tea and asked with a smile, "It is said that Mr. is from the Southern Regions?"

"That's right. Qin Mo nodded and said, "Southern Regions Qingzhou." ”

"Qingzhou. Steward Liu thought for a moment, "That's on the edge of the Southern Regions, and it's really 108,000 miles away from Zhongzhou." ”

Qin Mo nodded, of course this distance is more than 108,000 miles, but Qin Mo has no intention of correcting it, because this is not what people mean in the first place.

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly a miserable scream came, Qin Mo couldn't help frowning, who is this not Li Bai's voice?

Steward Liu smiled bitterly and said, "Let Mr. see you smile." ”

Qin Mo bowed slightly, but he didn't speak, but he could guess that Li Bai was now being executed by the family law, which was why he had a crying expression just now.

The two looked at each other speechlessly, and after a long time, the door of the side room was pushed open, and Li Bai limped in, but there was a painful expression on his face.

When he saw Qin Mo, he immediately became calm, not lame, and said, "Brother let's go, my old man wants to see you." ”

Qin Mo saluted, and then went out of the side room, as soon as he went out, Li Bai was "sizzle", with a painful expression, and said: "You are too unkind, you said that you would come back with me to help me, why did you follow Uncle Liu and leave, causing me to suffer a board in vain." ”

"It's not in vain, your unabashed temperament has to be changed. Qin Mo held back a belly laugh.

"Okay, you're still gloating, aren't you? Li Bai stared at him angrily, looking like he was about to fight, but suddenly his movement was too big, touching the wound, and he was trembling in pain.

Seeing his appearance, Qin Mo couldn't help laughing, and then took out a healing pill and said, "Take it, it may feel better." ”

"Hey, the Seven Grades Healing Pill!" Li Bai was a little surprised, looked at Qin Mo, and said, "I didn't expect you, a southern barbarian, to be quite generous." ”

After speaking, he was not polite, he swallowed it in one bite, and as the medicine deepened, the pain on his face disappeared a lot, and he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, "It's still the top grade of the seven-grade healing pill, I can't see through you more and more." ”

Qin Mo just smiled, but didn't answer, the two of them immediately came to the inner hall, as soon as they walked in, they saw an old man with white beard sitting on the main seat, looking like a birthday star, but those eyes were bright, which made Qin Mo feel a little inexplicable sense of oppression.

"Grandpa, the people are here. Li Bai said respectfully.

The old man glanced at Li Bai, and when he saw the pain on his face disappear, he was slightly surprised, and finally looked at Qin Mo, looked up and down, and said, "Sir, please take a seat." ”

"Xiaosheng is polite. Qin Mo bowed.

The two were about to sit down, when the old man suddenly said coldly: "Who told you to sit down?"

This was naturally Li Bai, and when he heard this, he immediately stood up with an aggrieved face, with an aggrieved expression on his face.

"That tanka was written by the gentleman?" asked the old man bluntly.

"It's the juniors. Qin Mo replied.

"It's really young and promising. The old man stood up suddenly, bowed his hand, "Please accept the old man's salute!"

"Don't dare. Qin Mo hurriedly stood up and saluted back.

"Hahaha, why don't you dare, Mr. has the qualifications of a literary saint and deserves the old man's courtesy. The old man laughed heartily, "It's this unangry grandson who makes Mr. laugh." ”

Li Bai stood aside, his face was unhappy, although he was a little jealous, but when he saw that his old man looked up to Qin Mo so much, he was a little proud in his heart.

"I wonder why the gentleman is here?" the old man asked suddenly.

When Li Bai heard this, he felt that something was wrong, he invited Qin Mo to come naturally to escape the family law, and to cheer up by the way, but he didn't expect that the old man was the one who was bustling all over the world for profit.

was about to open his mouth to defend himself, but he was glared back by the old man, and he was extremely uncomfortable in his heart.

Qin Mo pondered for a moment and said with a smile: "The juniors came, but there was something to discuss with the old man. ”

Li Bai was stunned, and hurriedly glanced at Qin Mo, as if telling Qin Mo not to compromise for his own sake.

"Oh, sir, please. The old man nodded, "If the Li family can do it, they will do their best." ”

"It's not hard to get there. Qin Mo didn't care about Li Bai's eyes, and said directly, "Dare to ask the Li family if you can accept guests?"

Hearing this, Li Bai was stunned on the spot, looked at Qin Mo in surprise, and even couldn't believe it, and asked, "Brother, you're not joking, are you?"

He really couldn't believe it, speaking of which, he and Qin Mo actually only had a two-sided relationship, although they talked speculatively, but they didn't come to this point.

There are so many families in the imperial city, and if you pick any one to be a guest, they are tens of thousands of times better than the Li family, why do you have to choose the Li family?

The old man of the Li family was obviously a little surprised, but he quickly calmed down, and couldn't help but impress Qin Mo.

After being silent for a long time, Old Man Li asked: "As far as I know, as soon as Mr. 's short song was born, the seven ancient families in the imperial city all came to visit, I don't know why Mr. chose my Li family when he didn't choose so many families?"

Li Bai originally wanted to interject, but when he heard the meaning of the old man's words, he closed his mouth, although he was unscrupulous, but in this kind of matter, the old man saw it far more thoroughly than him.

It's just that when he looked at Qin Mo, he was a little weird.

"Because I can only choose the Li family. Qin Mo said, then turned his head to look at Li Bai, "Second, although Brother Li is impatient and a little squirrel, he is not bad-hearted, but he is a person who can be friends." ”

Qin Mo carefully calculated that if he wanted to gain a foothold in Zhongzhou, he would not be able to rely on the Jixia School Palace alone, and he could see that the Li family would never be worse than those ancient families in the future.

With the two major forces of Jixia School Palace and the Li family to support him, plus his combat power, it is enough to fight against the six great families, and even the rest of the countless small families.

Of course, the Pan family is also the first choice, but he doesn't dare to guarantee that if he chooses the Pan family, the Pan family will definitely be under huge pressure to confront the other six ancient families, after all, they are all in the same spirit.

However, the Li family is different and has huge financial resources, but it is not recognized by the major families, although the Li family is based on business and focuses on interests.

But it is precisely because of this that Qin Mo chose the Li family, compared to those families who will tell you about benevolence, righteousness and morality as soon as they come, the Li family, a family that focuses on interests, has to believe it.

Old Man Li suddenly became silent, he had lived for such a long time, and he had eaten more salt than Li Bai had walked, and he understood the deep meaning of Qin Mo's two sentences as soon as he heard it.

The first sentence was to tell him that I was at odds with the Gu family, but the second sentence was to tell him that I felt that the Li family was more trustworthy.

In fact, since Li Bai came into contact with Qin Mo, Old Man Li had checked Qin Mo's background, and he had his own judgment, but he still had many doubts.

But as soon as these words came out, they directly told him an answer: I am Qin Mo who is the first on the Supreme List, and Qin Mo who is also the first in Wendao.

is so straightforward and honest, but it makes the decisive and ruthless old man Li a little uncomfortable.

"The first on the supreme list, the posture of a saint of Wendao, if you say this, I am afraid it will scare people to death. Old Man Li hesitated in his heart, "If I promise him to become the guest elder of my Li family, my Li family will inevitably stand on the opposite side of the ancient family and even countless families, and during this period, my Li family must go all out to protect him!"

"However, with his supreme list and the appearance of a saint of Wendao, as long as he enters the Jixia School Palace, who dares to attack him?" the old man said in his heart, "What is he worried about?"
