Chapter 12 The Li Ancestral Hall

In the ancestral hall of the Li family, the ranking of the ancestors of the Li family is placed in front of it.

The Li family's ancestors have always been officials, but in the generation of Li Yiwei's great-grandfather, because he offended his colleagues, he was punished for his official position and demoted to Kaiping, until Li Yiwei returned to the capital with the help of the Su family.

And now sitting on the main seat is the great-uncle of the Li family's big house, who is now in his old age, and the uncles of Li Yiwei's various rooms are sitting below.

After all, the fact that an eldest daughter was abducted for no reason is intolerable in any family.

The abbot is still talking to Li Shangming's uncle, although this person looks very serious, but compared to Li Yiwei's kind of person who does not distinguish between right and wrong, Li Changci feels that Li Shangming will investigate this matter more quickly.

Li Shangming looked at Li Changci below, he was calm and calm from the moment he entered the door, not humble or arrogant, I don't know how much better than the two children born in Li Yiwei's side room, his nephew really has no eyes, and thinking of Li Changci's more than ten years without a father and mother, the tone of inquiry unconsciously softened.

"Long resignation, you said last time that you were abducted, but what do you remember?"

Li Changci felt Li Shangming's kindness, and his attitude towards Li Shangming's uncle and grandfather was much better than that of Li Yiwei, recalled his memories at that time, and said frankly: "Although I was still young at the time, I vaguely remember that there were many people on the street that day, and it seemed that they were watching some lantern festival. ”

Yes, Li Yiwei also said: "It was the Lantern Festival that day, because Qin Wanfei had just given birth to Li Xinyu at that time, Su Yueru was not in good health, so she only took her three daughters to watch the Lantern Festival together, which was also proposed by her mother. ”

Li Changci then recalled, and then said to Li Yiwei: "However, halfway through, you feel unbearable abdominal pain and want to go to the toilet. ”

Li Yiwei suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but under the eyes of his uncles and ancestors, Li Yiwei could only stubbornly continue: "Yes, I don't know why, I did have a sudden abdominal pain at that time, so I found an inn to borrow a thatched house, but before I went in, I asked for a private room and ordered the guards to guard it, but after I came out, I heard the news that you ran out, and then I ordered people to search the whole city, but I couldn't find it." ”

From Li Yiwei's point of view, it is the result of Li Chang's willfulness.

But Li Changci recalled the situation at the time again and again, and retorted: "It wasn't me who ran out at the beginning, it was someone who said that you were downstairs and asked me to find you, and it was your personal servant Wu Yue who asked me to go out at that time." ”

Hearing Wu Yue's name, Li Yiwei was silent, because Wu Yue had already died, and died in the second month of Li Changci's disappearance, but when the doctor said that Wu Yue died of heart disease, no one suspected that Wu Yue's death was related to Li Changci's disappearance.

Thinking about it like this, could it be that Wu Yue deliberately lost Li Changci, and then was killed again?

Thinking of this result, Li Yiwei's face became extremely ugly.

Li Shangming saw Li Yiwei's changed face and continued to let Li Changqi continue.

"When I went down, I didn't find my father, so I planned to go back to the wing, but Wu Yue carried me out of the inn directly, I didn't know what I ate at that time, I was powerless to resist, I couldn't even speak, and the people around me were attracted by the performance of the Lantern Festival, I could only watch myself being taken away and handed over to a trafficker."

"I don't know how long it took, but when I woke up again, I had already arrived on the ship, and I happened to hear the man saying that I had offended a certain nobleman, and that the nobleman would let people get rid of me, so I was locked under the cabin and left the capital."

Hearing this experience, all the elders sympathized with Li Changci, but they still felt incredible, after all, she was only three years old at that time.

But in my memory, Li Changci was appreciated by the ladies of the capital for her intelligence when she was young, and it is not so difficult to understand that she still remembers that she was abducted.

"And how did you escape those people after that?"

Li Yiwei couldn't help but ask after all, and gradually felt a little guilty in his heart.

"That night, I don't know who those traffickers clashed with, and they were all killed overnight, and I stayed under the cabin for several days without anyone coming down, so I climbed out to look, only to find that I was the only one left on the whole boat, and then it was the master who rescued me and brought me back to the temple."

Master?

"Who is your master? Where is the view? Li Shangming asked.

Li Changci didn't want to reveal too much information about his master, so he only said that he was just an old Taoist priest who traveled the world and lived in Qingyue Temple.

When everyone heard that Li Changci was brought up by a Taoist priest, they had a lot of thoughts for a while.

There are thousands of Taoism, in today's world, everyone worships the cultivators, but there are very few people who are destined to cultivate, and those who can be called Taoists are capable people, just like today's national teachers, who were born as Taoists before, I heard that they went out to seek Taoism a few years ago, and now they have broken through to become monks, and the mana is not known how profound, I didn't expect Li Changci to have such a situation.

"Then you can learn the skills of that Taoist priest?"

Uncle Li Yu, who was sitting in the right seat, spoke for the first time, his voice was extremely hoarse, and Li Changci knew that this uncle was afraid that he had reached the time of dead wood.

"I've only scratched the surface." Li Changci said calmly.

Hearing Li Changci's answer, Li Yu nodded and said: "The fur is not bad, since you have learned some skills, you must have the world in mind, don't stick to the small sections in front of you, someone may ask you for help in the future, you also have to think twice." ”

After speaking, Li Yu glanced at everyone again, and explained: "Regarding the matter of learning from the Taoist priest of Changci, you must keep your mouth shut, and no outsiders will be allowed to know about it. After a pause, he deliberately glanced at Li Yiwei again, and instructed: "Yiwei, especially you can't say anything about your side room." ”

Li Chang's resignation was quite unexpected, he thought that the Li family was all Li Yiwei's generation, but he never thought that there were such broad-minded people as great-great-uncle Li Yu and uncle Li Shangming.

Li Chang did not shirk his resignation, and bluntly listened to the teachings.

Li Yiwei, as the object of special instructions, made an oath to the ancestors and ancestors on the spot, and forgot all about the matter when he left the sect.

After that, everyone led the topic to the nobles in the mouths of those traffickers, and they didn't know how Li Changci offended that nobleman at that time, and which nobleman could do the thing of selling other people's children? So, I can only start with Wu Yue's family, but unfortunately Wu Yue has been dead for more than ten years, and his family has long left the capital, and there is no way to start the investigation.

Just when Li Changci thought that he could investigate the demonic spirit of Li Mansion next, he was told by Li Yiwei that five days later would be the birthday of the queen's mother, and then the ladies of all the mansions would attend the birthday banquet.

So Li Yiwei invited a nurturing grandmother who came out of the palace at a high price overnight, and arranged for Li Changci to learn all kinds of etiquette in the past five days, and he must not be embarrassed at the birthday banquet.

And Qin Wanfei was grounded again, so Li Yiwei could only let his other concubine, Tao Xueyun, accompany his grandmother to supervise Li Changci every day.

Li Changci also knows Tao Xueyun, she is the biological mother of the second lady Li Xinge, because she doesn't like words on weekdays, and she doesn't like Li Yiwei, but she can't live under Qin Wanfei, she must not be stupid.
