Shaw House.

In the two-bedroom courtyard.

Xiao Hongxing, who heard the shout, was shocked, hurriedly dropped the frying spoon in his hand, and hurriedly ran out of the kitchen, and saw Li Wuji who was at the gate of the courtyard at a glance.

"Childe, why are you here?!"

Xiao Hongxing looked at the suddenly appeared Li Wuji in disbelief and asked happily.

Li Wuji didn't come alone, in addition to Lu Yuan and Cao Zi'an, there were more than a dozen entourages carrying boxes.

"Today is your mother's birthday, how can I not come?"

Li Wuji said with a smile, and then motioned to the dozen or so entourages around him to carry the boxes into the main hall and kitchen.

"Childe, what is this?"

Looking at the large and small, all kinds of boxes, Xiao Hongxing asked a little dazedly.

"Since I'm here for my birthday, how can I come empty-handed?"

"Those are the drinks and dishes I brought from Ziboju, and I will have to trouble you to pick them up and sort them out later."

"As for the ones inside, they are some birthday gifts I prepared for your mother, which are not precious, don't dislike them."

Li Wuji smiled and pointed to the boxes that had been brought into the kitchen and the main hall.

"This..."

"Thank you, Childe!"

Xiao Hongxing hesitated for a moment, bowed gratefully, and his eyes seemed to be a little moist.

He never thought that Li Wuji would come, and he brought so many things with him.

The reason why I went to Wangchun Restaurant to drink stuffy wine that day was because I was depressed because I was beaten, and on the other hand, because I couldn't have a decent and lively birthday for my mother.

For the uninvited arrival, Xiao Hongxing's heart is not only grateful but grateful.

Zhu Hexuan also walked out of the kitchen with Xiao Hongxing, witnessed everything just now, and was sincerely happy for Xiao Hongxing.

However, he didn't expect that Xiao Hongxing actually had a friend like Anhou.

"Who is this?"

Li Wuji also saw Zhu Hexuan and asked slowly.

"Oh, Childe, this is the son of the Tobe Shangshu mentioned below, Zhu Hexuan."

Xiao Hongxing came back to his senses and hurriedly made an introduction.

"In Xia Zhu Hexuan, I have seen Master Hou!"

Zhu Hexuan hurriedly knelt on the ground and saluted, and said respectfully.

"I'm here for the birthday banquet today, so I don't have to be so vain."

Li Wuji waved his hand and said lightly.

"Childe, don't stand, you can go in and sit down, and I'll go and have a few more drinks with you after I'm done."

Xiao Hongxing hurriedly beckoned Li Wuji to sit down in the main hall.

"Prepare a few more pairs of dishes and chopsticks, and there will be other guests in a while."

Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.

"And the guests? Who is it? ”

Xiao Hongxing was stunned for a moment and asked hesitantly.

Li Wuji glanced at Xiao Hongxing meaningfully, and didn't say much.

Xiao Hongxing frowned suspiciously, but he didn't ask too much, returned to the kitchen, opened the box on the ground, and plated the dishes inside one by one.

"Brother Xiao, didn't you say before that you actually had a relationship with the famous Li'anhou?"

Zhu Hexuan said while helping, and there seemed to be some envy between his words.

"We do know each other, but I really didn't expect Master Hou to come, and I don't know how he knew that today was my mother's birthday."

Xiao Hongxing shook his head and said with a wry smile, but the meaning of the bitter smile at this time was already different from the meaning of the bitter smile just now.

Zhu Hexuan didn't ask any more questions, silently helping on the side, thinking about it between his eyebrows.

"Brother Xiao, look, who's coming!"

Just as Zhu Hexuan helped bring the two plates of dishes into the main hall and returned to the kitchen, he suddenly greeted Xiao Hongxing in surprise and said.

Xiao Hongxing, who was puzzled, hesitated for a moment, walked quickly to the kitchen door and looked out, and then opened his mouth in the same surprise.

I saw that in the courtyard, there were three more guests, who were actually Yun Baining, the current head of the Xiao family, as well as Xiao Wenqi and Xiao Duqiu!

Seeing these three people suddenly appear in the second courtyard at the same time, Xiao Hongxing couldn't help frowning and showing nervousness.

In the main hall.

"I've seen Master Hou!"

As the three of them slowly walked in, they knelt respectfully to Li Wuji, who was sitting on the main seat drinking tea.

"Three of you, please."

Li Wuji smiled and raised his hand to gesture.

The three of them got up slowly, looking at the food on the table and the boxes full of birthday gifts on the ground whose lids had been opened, with different expressions.

The birthday gift prepared by Li Wuji is not gold and silver jewelry, but some commonly used things, although it is not priceless, but ordinary people can't afford it.

It can be seen that the relationship between Li Wuji and Xiao Hongxing is by no means ordinary, and the three people in front of them did not realize this until this time.

"Sit down."

"Wait a while, Xiao Gongzi will be here soon."

Li Wuji raised his hand and gestured, and said politely.

None of the three of them spoke, looked at each other, and sat down silently, not knowing what Li Wuji wanted to do when he suddenly called them to the second courtyard.

After Li Wuji arrived at Xiao Mansion, he ordered the people in the mansion to bring him here, and on the other hand, he ordered people to invite the three people present.

Although the reason was not stated, they had to come again when Anhou came to the Xiao Mansion in person.

After a while, Xiao Hongxing finally brought all the dishes to the table, and sat next to Li Wuji under the instruction of Li Wuji.

Because Xiao Hongxing's mother was already sick in bed, although today was a birthday banquet for her, she still couldn't attend the banquet in person.

"Let's toast to the birthday star first, and wish her a speedy recovery and a long life."

Li Wuji raised his wine glass, glanced at the people present, said lightly, raised his head and drank it all.

Everyone in the audience nodded and did it one by one, but they were thinking about it in their hearts.

"Tomorrow I will ask the best healer in the capital to come to the house to treat your mother, rest assured, no matter how much it costs, I will try my best to cure your mother's illness."

Li Wuji turned his head to look at Xiao Hongxing and said seriously.

"Thank you, Childe! I can't thank you enough! ”

When Xiao Hongxing heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground respectfully and saluted, his face full of gratitude.

Although he has been seeking medical treatment for his mother all these years, he is shy in his pocket, and to this day, he can only barely survive through medicine.

Now that Li Wuji personally promised him that he was willing to treat his mother's illness, how could he not be grateful.

On the side, Yun Baining and Xiao Wenqi looked a little ugly, the dignified Xiao family now needs outsiders to save them, and they are afraid that they will be laughed out of their big teeth if they are passed on.

"After the treatment is over, there is one thing, I'm afraid I will have to trouble Mrs. Yun."

Li Wuji helped Xiao Hongxing up with his own hands, then turned his head to look at the graceful and luxurious Yun Baining on the side, and said with a smile.

"Master Hou, please speak."

Yun Bai Ning bowed his hand and said slowly.

The last time I saw Wuji, Yun Baining was not as respectful as today, and there was still a lot of arrogance in his bones between his words and demeanors, and even his eyes were a little charming.

But since there was a rumor that Li Anhou personally killed the former emperor Sun Li Wuji, the Xiao family no longer dared not to take Li Wuji in their eyes.

"After today, pick a few shops of the Xiao family and hand them over to Xiao Hongxing to take care of."

Li Wuji smiled and said slowly.

Hearing Li Wuji's words, Yun Baining's brows couldn't help frowning, and his complexion changed suddenly.

"Why?!"

Yun Bai sat still, but Xiao Duqiu, who had always been domineering, couldn't sit still, stood up suddenly, and asked unconvinced.

"Just because he is my person, but also a member of the Xiao family!"

Li Wuji turned his head to look at the excited Xiao Duqiu, with a sneer on the corner of his mouth, and said lightly.

"He's a nerd, he can't do anything but read!"

"Give him the shop, won't you have to close the store sooner or later?!"

Xiao Duqiu hesitated, pointed at Xiao Hongxing with one hand, and said dissatisfiedly.

"That's his business, don't worry about you, just let him take care of his own profits and losses."

Li Wuji pursed his lips and smiled, and said lightly.

"No! I..."

"Qiu'er!"

Xiao Duqiu still wanted to argue, but was stopped by Yun Baining directly.

"Who is in charge of this Xiao family now? Why are you so unruly? ”

Li Wuji sneered, glanced at Xiao Duqiu, and said disdainfully.

"The little girl is not strict in discipline, please don't blame the Hou Ye."

Yun Baining hurriedly bowed and said respectfully.

"What does Lady Yun think?"

Li Wuji smiled, looked at Yun Baining, took a sip of wine to himself, and asked slowly...
