In the early morning of Lijiazhuang in March, after a continuous night rain, the air was flooded with a different kind of humidity, like the grass and trees, and like something else, outsiders were always unclear, only to see a pool of blue water on the stone road, but by taking a closer look at the rising sun, it was a new lichen densely spread out from the cracks, a delicate layer, careless, very easy to fall on a fight.

Li Tao yawned at the newly emerging sun.

He calculated that the day happened to be the first day of the new year, and it was the day when the family made money, so he straightened his clothes and walked slowly towards the account room.

After careful calculation, Li Tao has crossed into this world for more than five years, and after experiencing the first few days of confusion, he gladly accepted his identity.

After all, he was an unemployed college student squatting at home in the original world, and now he suddenly became a respected concubine of a wealthy family, and he couldn't go back, so he could only accept it "reluctantly".

It's just the system, the old man doesn't appear or anything, and it always makes people feel that there is a lack of fun in passing through life.

Anyone who met him along the way consciously stood with their hands tied, got out of the way, and respectfully said, "Hello young master." ”

And Li Tao also enjoys this process very much.

Smiled and nodded, he returned the salute and said, "Good morning." ”

————

The Li Mansion occupies an extremely wide area, and there are more than 1,000 people in the Fuzhong clan who are enslaved up and down.

Li Tao walked slowly for more than a quarter of an hour before he reached the account room.

Before he stepped into the door of the account room, he was told by the servant who was waiting on the side that this month's money was withheld by the master, who is his father now, and if he wanted money, he went to the master to ask for it.

When Li Tao heard this, he was so frightened that his legs and stomach trembled.

If you want to say that Li Yuan, the current lord of the Li Mansion, he was the top figure in Hexi Weili back then, a martial arts to the realm, a hundred or ten catties of big iron spears dancing tiger and tiger style, the barbarian died when he touched it, and he died when he touched it, and he killed the barbarian with one person and one horse, and he had the style of Zhao Zilong, a famous general of the Three Kingdoms.

Under the perennial killing, his whole temperament has undergone earth-shaking changes, and wherever the whole person goes, the evil spirit of not being angry and arrogant can make people's hands and feet cold.

And the reason why Li Tao was able to cross over was because the original owner of this body was caught by Li Yuan, who had just returned home, when he was blindfolded and playing games with the maid in the back garden.

When the original owner of this body was taken off the blindfold by Li Yuan, who had a black face, he was scared to death by a look in his eyes.

It's a first-class ruthless person. If it weren't for the fact that the barbarians in the north were beaten and half-destroyed, they took the initiative to sign an armistice treaty, and the old lady of the Li Mansion died, otherwise he would not hesitate to go home to inherit the position of the head of the family.

And because of the incident five years ago, I have never had a good impression in his eyes, and I usually ignore myself, and I haven't met a few times for a few years, and today I suddenly asked myself to see him, did I do something recently? Or what did the original owner of this body do?

I can't remember all the memories of this body before I crossed over, as if I had been taken away by a frightened soul.

And I've been staying at home honestly lately, although I've read some idle books, but I haven't caused trouble.

Li Tao had a bitter face, silently followed behind his family, while thinking carefully about what he had done recently, and silently reciting the "twenty-four character mantra" to give himself courage.

The account room was not far from the central courtyard of the Li family, and in just ten minutes, Li Tao stood outside the courtyard where the head of the Li family usually lived.

The housekeeper who led the way went in to reply, and he just stood and waited.

Li Tao began to recall his sad things, trying to squeeze out a few tears, but found that he had been pampered since he was adopted, and he had not been bullied, and his life after crossing over was too superior, there was really nothing to be sad about.

After working hard for a while, there was still no response, Li Tao had to temporarily give up this strategy, and secretly said in his heart, next time you must bring a bottle of cool oil from Miaohuafang, otherwise you won't even be able to cry.

"The eldest young master, the master told you to go in. The housekeeper came out of the courtyard and interrupted Li Tao's thoughts.

"Oh, okay, I'll go in. Li Tao just took a step, as if he remembered something, he retreated and asked the famous family, "How is my father feeling today?"

"The master seems to be in a good mood lately, and I drank two more drinks last night. Jia Ding whispered to Li Tao.

"That's good, that's good. Li Tao heard that his father was in a good mood, and he suddenly felt a little strange, this is because he is in a good mood, come to me to block him.

With doubts, Li Tao stepped into the courtyard.

The yard is not too big, it can even be said to be a little small, but although the sparrows are small, the courtyard is full of water pavilions, carved railings and jade buildings, and all kinds of green plants cooperate with each other, which is full of a harmonious beauty.

The current head of the Li Mansion was sitting in the pavilion on the side, with a wine jug, a wine cup, and a plate of peanuts in front of him. Peeled peanut shells were thrown all over the table.

Li Tao looked at the drunken Li Yuan, and didn't dare to come forward to talk, so he had to stand honestly under the bluestone ladder of the pavilion.

I don't know how long it took, the sun rose higher and higher, and Li Tao's legs trembled long ago, and he was sweating profusely under the no-frills sun of March.

Finally, when Li Yuan's wine was refilled with pot after pot, and the peanut shells were about to pile up a hill, Li Yuan spoke first.

"Hmph, come up and stand, I can't stand this little suffering, and I'm sweating profusely when I stand for a while. How can you tell me to rest assured that the Li family will be taken care of by you in the future?"

"Yes, what my father taught me is that my son is indeed negligent in exercising, and my son will definitely change in the future. Li Tao moved his stiff legs, trembled and climbed the bluestone stairs, and rubbed in front of Li Yuan.

"You flamboyant guy, I'm not looking for you for this thing, it's something else. As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and shaved a hill of peanut shells, took out a letter from it, and threw it to Li Tao, "Take a look, after reading it, go back and pack up your things and prepare to go." ”

Li Tao took the letter suspiciously, glanced at it a few times, and was immediately overjoyed, feeling that his legs, which had already been numb, were much lighter.

It was actually a letter sent by the Imperial Capital Hanlin Academy to his father, giving him a recommendation to send a school-age man in the family to study classics in the Hanlin Academy.

To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is to send the children of a big family to gild, and when there is a suitable real shortage, you can logically arrange a good official position, which is a common method used by the government to buy the loyalty of those big families.

Although my father usually seems unkind, the first thing that comes to mind when there is such a good thing is himself, and he deserves to be his own father.

"Well, boy, I'm good to you. Li Yuan stood up and gently hit Li Tao's chest with a fist the size of a sandbag.

Li Tao opened his mouth and was about to agree, but he felt as if something heavy had hit his chest suddenly, and his heart contracted violently before he was caught off guard, Li Tao felt that the sky was spinning, his feet were weak, and in Li Yuan's stunned eyes, his body fell backwards uncontrollably.

Li Yuan hurriedly took a step further and protected Li Tao in his arms.

Li Tao was in a blur, as if he heard a voice in his head.

"This host is too weak, isn't it?"
