Chapter 20: Jinling, the Li Family

Jinling, the ancient capital of the Six Dynasties.

Jiangnan beautiful land, Jinling Imperial Prefecture. Since ancient times, it has been said that the dragon vein of Jinling crowns the entire Middle Earth. Many ancient formation masters were also full of praise for this place.

When Zhuge Liang traveled to Jinling, he was even more emotional.

Zhongshan dragon pan, stone tiger, really the emperor's house.

Some people say that it was the first emperor who cut off the dragon veins here, led the dirty water of the Qinhuai River into Jinling, and destroyed its imperial foundation. At this point, the dragon veins were damaged, and the luck plummeted, and it could not suppress the ever-prosperous capital.

In fact, these are all nonsense, such a character as the First Emperor can also be commented on by people who write and make up.

Jinling, Li family.

Jinling is so big, there are countless people with the surname Li. But once you mention the Li family, everyone will assume that you are referring to the Li family at the foot of Lion Rock.

Generally speaking, most of the prestige recognized by everyone is accumulated by the ancestors for several generations. But the Li family under the Lion Rock is a legend. The Li family in Jinling has such prestige, but the Li family has a Li Muyang.

The people of Jinling all say that among the people of Jinling, no matter how high Li Muyang is. In fact, Li Muyang is only about 1.72 meters tall. But everyone who has seen him will talk about Li Muyang when they talk about Li Muyang.

There is also a well-known little story about this statement.

At that time, he was the head of Jinling and received the head of Songjiang Mansion. The governor of Songjiang Mansion had heard that Li Muyang was a person, so he asked the governor of Jinling.

"I've heard people say that shepherds are tall, is that true?"

The head of Jinling asked rhetorically.

"Do you think I'm tall?"

The head of Songjiang replied after carefully looking at the head of Jinling.

"The head of the charge may be about 1.8788 meters by sight, and his height is indeed tall in the south. ”

Jinling Governor said.

"The shepherd's height, my height, is so close that I can only barely see his shoulder. ”

This is an absurd legend, but this absurd legend is being passed on by the entire people of Jinling, and everyone believes it, which has to be said to be a miracle.

The weather in Jinling is very hot today, and at noon, the temperature is definitely over 39 degrees. On the flat ground, the heat is visibly surging upwards.

The housekeeper of the Li family has been waiting at the door of Li Muyang's study, constantly fanning himself, still sweating profusely. I want to wash my face with cold water, but I'm afraid that if the old man wakes up, there will be no one outside.

And heat and sleepiness, intertwined with each other. Just when he was sleepy to the extreme, yawning all the time. He saw a woman with hot waves, flaming red lips, and a thin cigarette in her mouth.

Under the bright sunlight, she held a strange small umbrella, stepped on strange steps, and twisted her hips exaggeratedly. Inattentive eyes, and the habit of raising the head slightly upward to spit smoke. The smell of wind and dust emanates everywhere on the body.

When the housekeeper of the Li family saw the oncoming woman, he suddenly woke up. This old man's second girl is a difficult character whenever she sees her. Beware of holding grudges, lying and doing things without remembering the consequences. The housekeeper of the Li family didn't like her very much, although she had never done anything bad to him.

Steward Li didn't know why, as long as it was about the second young lady. He had a feeling of irritability, which made him mentally unbalanced several times. When dealing with matters about the second lady, he always favors the other party.

The housekeeper of the Li family noticed it, and asked himself several times in his heart why this happened. It stands to reason that he has dealt with a lot of bad things in the Li family, and he has also been in contact with this more inferior person from the Li family. No matter who it is, he can handle it calmly. But once it comes to the matter of this second lady, he always has a sense of irritability.

It's a feeling that I can't explain.

The Li family steward felt this feeling rise again at this time, and he tried his best to suppress it and whispered.

"Second Miss, the master is resting, and it is estimated that he will get up in ten minutes. ”

The woman stretched her head over the edge of the umbrella and spat out a smoke ring into the air outside, looking indifferent.

"I know, I'm waiting here. It's too hot, Uncle Chu still goes to take a shower to cool off, and look at how sweaty you look. ”

The steward of the Li family, known as Uncle Chu, had already calmed down, did not move, and did not answer, but showed a friendly smile.

The woman didn't mind, holding a cigarette in one hand and turning the handle of the umbrella in the other, a little bored.

The two of them stood in silence until there was a noise in the back room, and a few coughing sounds.

The steward of the Li family, known as Uncle Chu, nodded to the woman, and then pushed the door in.

Li Muyang, the head of the Li family, is known as the highest person in the whole of Nanjing. I got up and started getting dressed.

Uncle Chu, the housekeeper of the Li family, hurriedly went up and helped him sort out the corners and collar of his clothes. Uncle Chu, the manager of the Li family, is nearly 1.8 meters tall, intuitively speaking, he is a head taller than Li Muyang. But when he straightened his collar, he still tilted his head half-up.

Li Muyang asked casually.

"Has Nanshan caused any trouble outside lately?"

Uncle Chu, the steward of the Li family, thought carefully and shook his head.

"Second Miss, it seems that she rarely goes out lately. In the past two months, I have only been out six times, all of which are with my young master to go out to play. The rest of the time is spent in the studio. ”

Li Muyang nodded, and after all the clothes were tidied up, he rinsed his mouth with water and sat on the chair.

Uncle Chu, the housekeeper of the Li family, hurriedly took out a towel and asked him to wipe his face.

Li Muyang said while wiping his face.

"Let her go to the study first and wait, it's weirdly hot outside. By the way, yesterday Lu Er's son brought a cart of watermelons over. I let Lu Er put all of them in the well to cool down, and it should be cool now. Let Xiaoyun open one and bring it to the study. ”

Uncle Chu wrote it down and made tea for Li Muyang. Then he went out softly and closed the door.

Uncle Chu stepped forward and whispered a few words to Li Nanshan, the second lady of the Li family, and led her all the way to the study.

After they walked away, Li Muyang picked up the bowl and took a sip of tea. Asking the dark part of the room.

"What's going on?"

A tall and thin figure in the darkness stepped out of the darkness, looking down and couldn't see his appearance clearly.

The figure is very tall, but even in the sunlight there is no shadow, and the image of the person is blurry.

It felt like he could disappear as soon as he took a step back and stood in the darkness.

He spoke, his voice a little dry.

"It's all done, and it is estimated that Pingshui has received the letter today. ”

Li Muyang nodded, put the tea bowl away, and the bowl and the bowl mat were tightly fitted and upright.

"Is my third sister-in-law okay?"

"The third lady is in good health and has enough energy. He scolded me for twenty or thirty minutes, without panting. ”

Li Muyang shook his head, and the scene appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help laughing.

"Haha, my three sisters-in-law haven't changed too much. It's still like that, small-minded and big-tempered. Tianwu, do my third sister-in-law do anything in private?"

The tall and thin figure shook his head.

"Because there should be, the people of the Li family in Luoyi and the Cao family have people on their side to help keep an eye on it. Her own force was contained in Xiangxi by the people of the Nan family, and it is estimated that there will be no way to get out for a while. But ......"

The tall and thin figure said but he was stuck for a moment, as if he was thinking about whether to say it or not.

Li Muyang's eyes gently drifted over the tall and thin figure and asked.

"But what?"

was glanced at by Li Muyang, the tall and thin figure trembled for a while, lowered his head and replied honestly.

"It seems that the fourth lady and the sixth lady are also involved in this matter. The fourth lady's family saw that our side began to move, so they returned their hands. But the sixth lady seems to be still making small moves in secret. ”

The fourth and sixth sisters-in-law participated, and Li Muyang was not surprised at all. After all, these three women had a pretty good relationship back then. And there was a lot of resentment about the old brother sending them all back to their parents' homes. In addition, Changsheng's father once told them that they were not allowed to be buried in the ancestral grave of the Liu family after death. The probability of three people doing it together is almost 100 percent. It's just that he was a little surprised that this sixth sister-in-law has always been shrewd and cautious, and this time the matter has reached such a point that he is reluctant to stop. Among them, Li Muyang is a little interested.

"Let's hear what the specific action is. ”

"The sixth lady has found someone to go to the flat mine to take away a handful of hair from the dead Juling flower. Yesterday, she left the Wu family and went in the direction of Wugu. ”

Wugu is a loose alliance of spirits who are skilled in the art of curses. The art of curses has always been mysterious and unpredictable.

Therefore, although Wu Gu does not have a Dao spiritual monk in charge, his strength should not be underestimated.

I've heard my brother talk about it before, and he has always suspected that the sixth wife was from Wugu. At that time, Li Muyang was still a little unbelieving. After all, this sixth sister-in-law looks too clean in temperament, and there is no trace of curse. And she is a member of the Wu family in Lin'an. The Wu family in Lin'an is quite upright. You should not associate with these cursed people who are inclined to evil ways. Now it seems that the old brother still has vicious eyes, and she is just good at hiding.

"The curse technique, it seems that this sixth sister-in-law of mine is still more ruthless. Although the third sister-in-law's voice was loud, it was a pity that the means were almost meaningless after all. ”

The tall and thin figure nodded, agreeing with Li Muyang's statement.

"According to her subordinates, the Sixth Lady wants to make the Immortal Young Master unable to break this cause and effect, and completely cut off the Immortal Young Master's future. Ever since the Immortal Young Master opened the Heavenly Eye, the spirit that had been unstable had stabilized. Coupled with his accumulation over the years, there should be only one step left before the spiritual awakening. This morning, there was news from Pingshui, and Granny Wang said that the immortal young master could already become a spirit in one word. This step has already taken half a step. At this time, there is an accident, but it is difficult to make up for it. Over there in Wugu, do I go through it and let them know what is at stake? ”

After Li Muyang listened to the words of the tall and thin figure, he was silent, and his fingers kept tapping on the table, and he said after a while.

"Then leave her alone, this kind of thing Changsheng will deal with. The three have joined forces, and now is an eventful time. Changsheng may not be too busy. A sixth sister-in-law and Wu Gu's shady means. Changsheng is still catchy. This is also the Liu family's own family matter, and it is enough for us to take care of it once. ”

The tall and thin figure nodded yes.

Li Muyang waved his hand, and he stepped into the shadows and disappeared.
