When the wanderer returned home, he had to complain about the pain of parting with his relatives, and Li Ge stayed at home for five days in a row. During these five days, he did not tell his parents about his long journey, but only told them about some of the things he had experienced.

"Ge'er, although our Li family has only one son, but when Master Lai accepted you as an apprentice, my father didn't plan to let you inherit the family and start a business. Your path is different from that of ordinary people, and your mother and I will not interfere with the path you have chosen, we only hope that you can go home every year, and our family will be reunited once. After listening to Li Ge's statement, Li Yunlong gently patted his son's shoulder, and his tone was full of helplessness and emotion.

"Your father is right, we don't want anything but you to be safe. Ding Qiaoqiao stretched out his hand and stroked his son's face, and said with tears in his eyes, "It's just a pity that you and that Yurou girl, bel~"

"Father, mother, you have to take good care of your body, I will try to come back once a year in the future. Looking at his parents, whose faces were already a little old, Li Ge let out a long sigh silently in his heart.

In the five days of Li Ge's house, Wu Youqiu, Mao 18 and Jingchen had a very happy life, for the three of them who have been fatherless and motherless since childhood, Li Yunlong and Ding Qiaoqiao are like their parents, and the eight-year-old Li Lin'er is like their own sister.

Eight-year-old Li Lin'er is well-behaved and sensible, and her delicate and lovely face is the same as her brother Li Ge, revealing a cold temperament. In the five days that Li Ge came back, she was unusually happy. Because his brother has returned, and he has brought his brother with him. To her, all four of them were like her own brothers.

One day, when the sun was three poles, Mao Shibai and Jingchen led Li Lin'er to the town to play. After getting up, Wu Youqiu sat in the garden of the Li Mansion in a daze alone, and suddenly, a woman in a pale yellow dress passed by not far from him with a wooden basin and attracted his attention.

"Miss Butterfly Dance, do your laundry!" Seeing the woman in yellow, Wu Youqiu got up and walked over to her.

"Yes, I asked the young master, do you have any clothes to wash? You can take them out and I'll wash them for you." Butterfly Dance looked at Wu Youqiu, who walked to her side, and showed a faint smile.

"Nope. Wu Youqiu shook his head, walked a few steps beside Diewu, and then said, "By the way, Miss Diewu, I have some small things to buy, but I am not very familiar with your town, can you take me to buy them after washing the clothes later?"

"Okay. Butterfly Dance didn't think much about it, and nodded directly.

"Okay, I'll wait for you in the garden, and you'll come to me when you're done. Wu Youqiu smiled, then turned around and returned to the garden, sitting on a wooden bench and reading a book.

......

Five days later, Li Ge, Wu Youqiu, Mao Shibai and Jingchen returned to the Wushan Mountain. On this day, they chatted for a long time in the bamboo building in Guilin, until the moon hung in the sky, and Mao 18 and Jingchen yawned and went to sleep.

"Big brother, I will leave the matter to you in the future, if you are free, come to Meridian Town to see my parents and do your filial piety for me. Li Ge raised his hand and made a big salute to Wu Youqiu.

"Since you called me big brother, there is no need to say more about these words. Wu Youqiu looked at Li Ge reluctantly, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Second brother, I'm sleepy, you should rest early, and take care of yourself in the future." ”

"I ~ wrote it down. Looking at the back of Wu Youqiu's hand, Li Ge muttered to himself, and walked outside the house with a wry smile.

Life in heaven and earth, like a traveler from afar, everyone has their own way to go. In the eyes of cultivators, a person's path is predestined before he is born, and although he is like a white cloud and a dog, he is in the same place.

Kneeling next to the grave bag on the small flat ground in front of the bamboo building, Li Ge stretched out his hand and tore off a piece of grass on the grave, muttering to himself, "Master, you said that I should follow my own heart to go the way in the future, maybe my heart has long been calculated by the so-called Heavenly Dao, so how can I get my own way?"

A bitter word came out of Li Ge's mouth, and when it was about dawn, he took his little burden and went into the Wushan Mountain under the Guilin Forest.

......

Shuntianfu, after Ming Chengzu ascended the throne, moved north in the nineteenth year of Yongle to build the capital. Because it is located in the north, it is just spring in April.

In Beiping City, on the side of a spacious street, a willow tree that has just emerged with green leaves hangs a big signboard, which is engraved with the three big characters of 'Shiweixuan'. Behind the signboard is a lavishly decorated wooden storefront. This wooden building has three floors, and the door is full of people, so it is not lively.

Not far from the front of this wooden building, there stood a son wearing a white brocade robe, handsome and extraordinary, about ten years old. This son has picturesque eyebrows and a delicate temperament, and at a glance he looks like Pan An who walked out of the painting. And next to the man in white, there was also a blue-clothed servant who was about his age and slightly inferior in temperament.

"Hui'er, is this the restaurant you were talking about in the palace?" the man in white looked at the door of Shiweixuan with his hands in his hands and asked. When the blue-clothed man beside him heard this, he hurriedly nodded respectfully.

"Yes, Childe, I heard Shunxi say that it is this Shiweixuan. The blue-clothed servant named Hui'er raised his hand and pointed to the gate of Shiweixuan and said, "Childe, you see, there are people coming and going in front of this shop, and the business is so good, it must taste good." ”

"Well, let's go inside, then. The man in white nodded, and then led Hui'er towards the gate of Shiweixuan.

Shiweixuan, the most famous restaurant in Beiping City, has a unique flavor of its dishes, and the taste is inexpensive. Therefore, from the dignitaries to the common people, they will come here to eat.

"Little Er, arrange a private room for us. After the master and servant entered the store, Hui'er shouted at Xiao Er not far away.

"Yo, the two masters are here. Now I don't dare to coincide, there is no seat left, if you two can wait, please sit there first, and there will be a private room later, I am arranging it for you. The shopkeeper greeted him, saw the master and servant nodding, and then led the two to a corner in the hall and sat down.

"Childe, you see, the business here is so good, we have to wait for dinner, I think the dishes must not be there. After waiting for her son to sit down, Hui'er spoke softly.

"Yes, it didn't come out in vain today. The man in white glanced around the full hall and nodded in response.

At this time, on a small table next to the master and servant, there was a handsome young man in a dark green robe, holding a bowl of rice in his hand, and a plate of fish and a plate of vegetables on the small table in front of him.

The master and servant waited quietly for the vacant private room, and after a while, Xiao Er ran over and said earnestly, "Second master, there is a vacant private room upstairs, please come with me." ”

"There's a second brother Lao. Hui'er responded happily, and when she and her son-in-law got up and were about to go upstairs with Xiao Er, suddenly a teacup flew over and smashed on the back of Xiao Er. On the way out, the hot tea in the cup splashed on the sleeves of the young man in the dark green robe.
