The sky is getting brighter, and the Li family's mansion, which has been silent all night, comes back to life.

The maids and servants were busy with their own errands.

In the bedroom of the Li family's main courtyard, a woman had just gotten up, sitting lazily in front of the dressing mirror, and the little maid behind her combed her hair.

Although the woman is over forty years old, because of her pampering, her beauty has not diminished, and her mature woman's style is about to come out. She looked at herself in the bronze mirror, inevitably felt a little sorry for herself, married to a husband who was more than 20 years older than herself, it was indeed not a good match, since three years ago, her husband had not touched her much, and she was bored in the study all day, and she didn't know what she was doing.

A woman of this age, in the year of the tiger and wolf, after tasting the taste of that thing, where can she endure loneliness, but unfortunately this is the Li family, the rules of the house are also big, hundreds of pairs of eyes up and down are staring, she doesn't dare to do anything overstepping, she can only toss and turn night and night, and now she is dressing up with eyebrows and sideburns, and I don't know who to see!

Besides, her husband Li Qingyu is the head of the Li family, but in fact, it is not the old man who has the final say, Li Qingyu only knows that he is only submissive, and he does not have the slightest husbandly spirit.

After combing her hair, the woman put on a gorgeous palace dress, and when she was a little bored, a housekeeper lady hurriedly came, and said respectfully: "Madam, someone outside the door came to visit, it was a young man, said that he was from Jiangdu, surnamed Xu, it seems that no matter how much he comes, he can't find the master anywhere in the house, so please ask Mrs. to call the shots." ”

The woman's face changed slightly, she always had to come, and in the past few days, everyone in the house said that the prince of Jiangdu Xu was going to come to the house to make trouble, but she didn't expect to let herself catch up.

She thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have a female dependent?"

The lady in charge hurriedly nodded and said, "There are two female dependents." ”

After all, the woman is a woman from a wealthy family, and she is not too afraid of Xu Beiyou, although Li Zijian has held the power of the Li family over the years, but she is the one who controls the Li Mansion, and the other party also has a female dependent, so that she can relax a little, so it is not rude to go out to meet each other, so she nodded and said: "Please invite the guests to the main hall." ”

Entering the Li family's mansion really made Xu Beiyou open his eyes, after all, Gongsun Mansion and Zhang Mansion are in Jiangdu, where every inch of land is valuable, and the area is limited, but the Li family's mansion is different, covering an area of nearly 100 acres, even compared with the vassal king's mansion, it is not much worse, and the name of Jiangling Li Bancheng is really not called in vain.

After walking for about half a pillar of incense, he finally came to the door of the main hall of the Li family, the sword qi volley hall swordsman stopped, and Xu Beiyou led the Dragon King, Bai Yu, Wu Yu, and Li Shentong to step forward.

Mrs. Li was already standing on the steps in front of the main hall, surrounded by several family worshippers.

You must know that the Li family is not a small family, but a big family that dominates Jiangling in Huzhou, and even a Li family next to Li Shidao can enshrine a human immortal master, the orthodox descendant of the Li family, and there is a great master of the earth immortal Li Zijian, how can there be no guest to worship?

These guest offerings attached to the Li family can be roughly divided into two categories.

5. Look at the genuine chapter on the cool craftsman 1

One is simply for a stable and wealthy job, like a domestic watchdog, in addition to taking care of the home and nursing home, he will do some unsightly and selfish things.

There is another kind that is much more noble, and most of them have a lot of cultivation, but they have to ask the Li family because of their own practice. On the way of cultivation, pay attention to a Dharma wealth couple, the law is the practice method, wealth is silver, not every monk can have such good luck as Xu Beiyou, so many monks will be attached to the court or powerful families, in exchange for their own needs of the Dharma and wealth.

Under normal circumstances, the Li family will not easily work with these noble guests, after all, if there is a good cultivation in the body, the world can go there, and there is no need to hang yourself on a tree in the Li family, until the critical moment, at most, let them come out to fill the façade, just like today.

After all, sitting in the town, this sitting word is very particular, Xu Beiyou glanced at it, these guest Qing cultivation is not bad, among them there are actually two ghost fairy realms, put them outside, that is also a master of the land of a famous house.

Xu Beiyou recalled that he came all the way from the northwest to Jiangnan, and when he met the archdeacon of the Demon Suppression Hall in the realm of ghosts and immortals, he had to tremble, walking on thin ice, which can be described as racking his brains, even deceived and deceived, and finally relied on a little luck to get to Jiangnan alive.

After coming to Jiangnan, Xu Beiyou did many so-called big things in the eyes of others, but in his own opinion, after having enough power and connections, these big things are not difficult to do, but many small things that he does when he has nothing, which is as difficult as climbing to the sky, which makes him remember it vividly.

Mrs. Li welcomed Xu Beiyou and his party into the main hall, and said with a smile: "This son is from Jiangdu, and his surname is Xu, but the famous Jiangdu Xu Gongzi?"

Xu Beiyou said softly: "I don't dare to be famous, but the Xu Gongzi that the lady said is that he is talking about it." ”

The woman smiled coquettishly and asked, "Then I don't know what Gongzi Xu is doing when he comes to my house? Could it be that he has an old relationship with his grandson?"

"The name of Qing Yugong, Xu has heard of it for a long time, but he can't talk about acquaintance, let alone old age. Xu Beiyou said slowly: "Xu was originally invited by the Governor of Houjun Yu to go to Liangxiang as a guest, but he encountered a strange incident on the road, so he temporarily changed his itinerary and came to visit your mansion. ”

The little finger of Mrs. Li's right hand on the arm of the chair trembled slightly, and her face was still very calm, "I don't know what's going on?"

"Li Qingping, Xu Ankang. Xu Beiyou directly reported the names of the two people, and said flatly: "Li Qingping, although she is not Mrs. Biological Mother, but her biological mother is Mrs. Sister, and now Mrs. is her stepmother, I think she should be no stranger to her, as for that Xu Ankang, don't say it." ”

This is the case with the marriage of the great family, if the sister dies, the sister will be married to the next string, one is to continue to maintain the relationship between the two families, and the other is to protect the children left by the sister.

Li Qingping's stepmother is her sister-in-law.

Mrs. Li's color changed slightly, although this past is not a secret, but since Xu Beiyou can know it clearly, it means that the person who came is not good, otherwise why spend energy to find out the roots of the Li family?

Xu Beiyou continued: "I didn't want to, and I shouldn't care about these things, it's just that Miss Li is the cousin of my junior sister Li Qinglian, and my junior sister has mentioned her more than once, even for the sake of my junior sister's face, I can't stand idly by." ”

Mrs. Li subconsciously sat upright, her chest rose and fell slightly, and the scenery in the towering place was infinite, and she said in a deep voice: "Dare to ask Xu Gongzi, where are Qingping and the scholar surnamed Xu now?"

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "On someone Xu's ship, there are only a dozen sword qi volley hall swordsmen guarding it, and I think it can't stop the Li family's guest qing." ”

Childe laughed. Mrs. Li smiled, "It's just that there is no one, as long as you don't open your mouth to release people, then no one dares to take people, after all, a Taoist workshop is in the bag of Xu Gongzi, how dare our Li family compare with Jiangnan Daomen." ”

Xu Beiyou didn't care about the sarcasm in the woman's words, and said flatly: "Mrs. Li has something to say, but Xu is not an unreasonable person, and this visit is to discuss a proper way with the Li family, and then return the person to the Li family." ”

"Really?" Mrs. Li squinted and said, "Young Master Xu, don't tease the concubine, let the concubine be happy." ”

Xu Beiyou smiled: "It's true. ”
