If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, Zhang Yongjie would have found it hard to believe that this was the headquarters of the Li family in Luoyang, the Li Mansion. If you want to come to the Li family in Luoyang, rise rapidly, and squeeze into one of the three families and four factions, it is only a matter of the past twenty or thirty years. The starting point is low and the ascent is fast. This is enough to prove what a powerful character Li Yanjin, the uncle of the Li family, is.

Of course, Zhang Yongjie knows very little about the history of the Li family's struggle, but from the comparison between the shabby Li Mansion and the wealthy compound under the Fengpo Ridge and the Tianma community in the southern suburbs of Chang'an, it is not difficult to imagine a bloody story of Li Yanjin's domination of the rivers and lakes.

This history of bloody struggle is enough to make any child of the Li family feel proud and glorious, and so is Li Tashan.

Li Tashan was an old man who smoked dry cigarettes, and although he was dressed in extremely luxurious satin, it was not difficult to see from his wrinkled and calloused hands that he had suffered a lot in his youth.

Li Tashan seems to be Li Yanjin's elder, and he can't be counted too far, too far to enter this Li Mansion. It can't be considered too close, because blood relatives who are too close will never be able to do some work to receive guests.

Now that the Li family is developed, this blood relative naturally seems to be as close as possible, so Li Tashan has long learned to improve his status by touting guests. After all, the higher the prestige of the guests, the Li family sent themselves to greet the guests, which was enough to show the importance they attached to the guests.

Li Tashan took a puff of dry tobacco and led Zhang Yongjie and Shangguan Xiaofei to the side hall to take a seat. A servant served tea and entertained the guests.

Li Tashan said with a smile: "A few days ago, Zhang Shaoxia was in Chang'an, and he tried his best to defeat the Japanese invaders, and my Li family's children, everyone knew Zhang Shaoxia's name. Later, Zhang Shaoxia rescued Ling'er when he was in danger, and the old man said thank you to Zhang Shaoxia for Ling'er here. Ling'er will also personally set up a banquet tonight to personally pick up the wind and wash the dust for Zhang Shaoxia. ”

Zhang Yongjie thought to himself that if the Li family really regarded himself as a distinguished guest, then he would let himself walk past the seal platform in the front hall courtyard like Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen in Crab Bay, so that it would be grand.

And this Li Tashan was doing the business of receiving guests, but he thanked himself for Li Ling. It seems that except for Li Tashan himself, no one will take the blood relationship between Li Tashan and Li Yanjin very seriously.

Zhang Yongjie took a sip of tea and said, "With a little effort, how can you afford to thank Mrs. Li?"

Li Tashan saw Zhang Yongjie calling himself Mrs. Li, smiled proudly, and said: "Zhang Shaoxia naturally deserves it, and Zhang Shaoxia came at the right time, our Li family will have a marriage in a few days, and there will be many guests coming at that time, and it will be very lively." ”

Zhang Yongjie smiled: "I don't know which good thing in the house is coming?"

Li Tashan took a puff of dry tobacco, spit out a smoke ring, and then said: "Ling'er has set a marriage for Li Can, and almost ten days later, this bride should also arrive." ”

Zhang Yongjie was puzzled: "But as far as the younger generation knows, this Li Can is the elder brother, and Li Ling is the younger sister." This little sister set a family affair for her brother, which seems to be out of etiquette. ”

Li Tashan coughed and said: "We people in the martial arts don't pay much attention to those etiquette. Besides, now that the Li family is in charge of Ling'er, they can naturally be the master. Ling'er, a child, has been very capable since she was a child, and she is not weak at all compared to her father. ”

From Li Tashan's words, it is not difficult to see that he is very satisfied with and proud of Li Ling's master.

Zhang Yongjie and Shangguan Xiaofei glanced at each other, thinking that this Li Can would get married, and most of this Li Yanjin would rush back to Luoyang. At that time, I happened to ask Li Yanjin about Yang Jiao. Thinking of this, Zhang Yongjie immediately said: "Even if this is the case, the junior has no choice but to spend a few more days to congratulate Master Li." ”

Li Tashan said with a smile: "Zhang Shaoxia is willing to stay to congratulate Li Can, which is really good." After speaking, he said: "Zhang Shaoxia and Shangguan Xian's nephew have been driving all the way, so they will go to the guest room to rest for a while, and the old man will come to call you again in the evening." ”

Zhang Yongjie heard this Li Tashan call the Shangguan brothers virtuous nephews, and then he remembered the relationship between Yang Jiao and the eldest sister Shan, so although he was young, he was also the elder of Li Can and Li Ling, thinking of this, he felt a burst of amusement.

The room is not big, with two small beds. Rushing all the way, they were indeed a little sleepy, Zhang Yongjie and Shangguan Xiaofei fell asleep with their heads up, and when they woke up, it was already dusk.

The dinner was set, but there was no Li Tashan on the table. There are only four people: Li Ling, Li Can, Shangguan Xiaofei and Zhang Yongjie. The two maidservants stood behind Li Ling, Xiao Yu and Leng Ke were still waiting outside the door.

Li Ling has always been a man of few words, plus she will always have these four people around to protect her, and in addition to this, there are also high-level killers in the cave who are secretly hidden. This kind of bearing and pomp will definitely not let anyone underestimate it.

Only Zhang Yongjie knows that under the cold surface of this Miss Li, there is a poetic and romantic heart. Because Zhang Yongjie once bumped into this Miss Li dancing on the city wall of Chang'an. This shows that Miss Li, like Tang Yan and Hu Siyu, is also a girl's mind. The difference is that Miss Li bears a burden that she should not bear at her age.

And this burden is the Li family. This is what Li Can should bear, it is obvious that this Li Can is a gentleman, and his family has a lot of money but he cheats and cheats, and he is far from having the ability to bear this burden.

No, before he had eaten a few bites of the meal, Li Can began to complain, and complained to Shangguan Xiaofei: "Uncle Xiao, Uncle Xiao, my life is really bitter." ”

Shangguan Xiaofei knew that he was arranged by Li Ling to marry, and he was inevitably unhappy in his heart, so he smiled slightly at the moment and asked knowingly, "What's the matter?"

Li Can sighed: "This little sister beats her brother, you all saw it with your own eyes." Well, that's it. This has been a major marriage event since ancient times, and the parents are in charge, and my father doesn't know where to go to play now. Parents are not there, naturally the elder brother is in charge, but this little sister arranged a marriage contract for her brother, such a strange news in the world, where do you say this is reasonable?"

Before Li Can's words fell, Li Ling slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table, and the frightened Li Can didn't dare to speak anymore.

Zhang Yongjie was also taken aback by Li Ling's sudden slap on the table. Seeing Li Ling staring at Li Can coldly at this time, Li Can was quite uncomfortable, shrugged his shoulders, and said embarrassedly: "Look, it's not allowed to complain a few words." ”

The maidservant behind him immediately changed into a new pair of dishes and chopsticks and put them in front of Li Ling. Only then did Li Ling turn around and say to Zhang Yongjie: "Some family matters, which made Zhang Shaoxia smile." ”

Zhang Yongjie asked: "Don't get in the way, Young Master Li's happy event is approaching, I don't know which girl has such an honor to be the daughter-in-law of the Li family?"

Although Zhang Yongjie said this, he thought in his heart that Li Can was a gentleman who didn't know the world. not only did the bad thing of stealing chickens and cheating horses, but also had the stain of hurting Chen Tianhua, and he had no ability. I don't know which unlucky girl is going to marry him.

Li Ling said at this time: "My brother and sister-in-law are also disciples of Qiandao, maybe I know Zhang Shaoxia." After speaking, he said to Li Can: "You also know that this matter is a baby kiss set for you by your father more than ten years ago, not something that my little sister insisted on adding to you, you have to figure it out." ”

When Zhang Yongjie heard the Qiandao disciple, he couldn't help but ask, "I don't know who your name is?"

Li Lingdao: "My brother and sister-in-law's name is Yang Lanlan, have you ever known Zhang Shaoxia?"
