Jiangling, along with Xiangyang and Xiangfan, is one of the three major towns in Huzhou.
The Li family's mansion in Jiangling can be said to be known to everyone, because of its large area, there are more than 100 acres, the people of the time called it Li Bancheng, meaning that half of Jiangling City is the Li family.
Over the years, the Li family has continued to spread out, and the family members are all over the south of the Yangtze River, and Li Shidao in Jiangdu is the side line of the Li family, but the number of people in the Li family's lineage is not much, only more than 40 people, most of whom live in the ancestral house of the Li family in Jiangling.
In fact, speaking of which, Li Qinglian is also considered to be a member of the Li family, but she is a collateral background farther away than Li Shidao, she was personally raised by Zhang Xueyao in the Sword Sect since she was a child, and the master and apprentice are like mother and daughter, so they have no feelings for the Li family in this famous town of Huzhou, and rarely interact.
The Li family is rooted in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is inevitable that the big tree of the Sword Sect will not be avoided, although there is also the idea of letting this eldest lady of the Sword Sect recognize her ancestors and return to the sect, but Li Qinglian has no choice but to regard herself as a member of the Zhang family, after all, the Li family is a big family that dominates one side, and it has its own dignity, and it will not put down the shelf and beg for nothing, so the matter was completely shelved.
At this time, the atmosphere in the Li Mansion was solemn, just because the eldest lady of the Li family had a repentance affair.
Speaking of this Li family's eldest lady Li Qingping, she is also famous in Jiangling City, not only has a prominent family background, but also has a touching appearance, I don't know how many families want to ask to marry this Li family's daughter, but unfortunately when she was not born, she was set up by the head of the Li family and an old friend.
But no one expected that when Li Qingping grew up and went to burn incense to repay her vows, she somehow fell in love with a Confucian handsome man at first sight, saying that men chase women across the mountain, and women chase men across the veil.
The Li family didn't know anything about this, until the son of the world friend came to the door recently, according to the meaning of the old lady of the Li family, the marriage was completed on the first day, which brought this matter to the surface, Li Qingping swore not to marry, not only to regret the marriage, but also said that if the scholar did not marry, if she insisted on forcing her to marry, then she would simply die.
Because of this incident, the old lady of the Li family was very angry, and first sent someone to find the scholar's academy theory, removed the scholar's reputation, and put Li Qingping under house arrest, so that the female relatives in the family could persuade him.
But who would have thought that Li Qingping pretended to be obedient, made a pair of sisters-in-law and aunts relax their vigilance, and then found an opportunity to escape from the Li Mansion, and eloped together after meeting with the scholar.
The old lady of the Li family was really furious this time, and strictly ordered all the guests and worshippers in the family to arrest these two people, after all, the Li family is one of the eight great families in the south of the Yangtze River, and the two young people have no power to fight back in front of this behemoth, just on the border of Huzhou, the two were intercepted by more than ten Li family guests.
An old man at the head looked at his eldest lady and the scholar, and said coldly: "Let the old lady be angry, where can you escape." β
The handsome scholar dressed in a blue Confucian shirt protected the woman behind him, and a sneer overflowed from the corner of his mouth, "The Li family, it's really majestic." β
The old man said calmly: "The prestige of the Li family is not great, you should have known it a long time ago, who do you think you are?"
The scholar shouted angrily, lifted his breath machine, and slapped the old man in the chest.
After all, he was born in Confucianism, although he has not yet been able to raise the spirit of Haoran, but he is not powerless, after so many years, there is still a three-grade realm.
However, since the old man in front of him can be the guest of the Li family, the cultivation realm must be above the realm of ghosts and immortals.
I saw the old man wave his hand lightly, as if to repel mosquitoes and flies, and the scholar flew back upside down like a kite with a broken string, fell heavily to the ground, spit out a mouthful of blood, and his face turned extremely pale in an instant.
"Xu Lang!" Li Qingping let out a sad cry and threw herself to the side of the scholar.
The old man sneered: "I don't know what the sky is high and the earth is thick." β
With Li Qingping's support, the scholar surnamed Xu struggled to sit up, regardless of the blood in his mouth, gritted his teeth and said: "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty!"

The old man sighed: "What a don't bully the young man to be poor, but unfortunately you may not have thirty years, if you want to blame it, you will blame your bad life, neither can you compare to the Xu Gongzi of Jiangdu, nor has anything to do with the Xu family in the imperial capital, a poor family, and you also want to marry my young lady? β
Li Qingping suddenly pulled out a dagger hidden in his sleeve and pressed it against his neck, blood immediately oozed from his snow-white skin, and he said coldly: "If you dare to make a move on Xu Lang, I will kill myself immediately!
The old man frowned, the matter of the two young people escaping away is not tricky, but since he has received the favor of the Li family, he must be worthy of the kindness of the Li family, the scholar surnamed Xu will die if he dies, but the eldest lady of the Li family must not die, if she dies, this matter will be messed up, not only will his face be disgraced, but the old lady will not be able to explain it.
The old man said coldly: "Don't do stupid things for the eldest lady, the old man still says that, everything is fate, Miss Qinglian has a good life, there is the Zhang family's Lafayette pet above, and Xu Gongzi is protecting the bottom, so naturally you can not put the Li family in your eyes, but you can't do it, Miss, because you don't have Miss Qinglian's life, then you have to learn to accept fate." β
Li Qingping bit her lip tightly, almost biting blood, and the hatred in her eyes was engraved into her bones, "I'll just ask you, can you let Xu Lang go? If you can, I will accept my fate." β
The old man pondered for a moment and said, "The old man can promise the eldest lady not to kill him, but the death penalty can be avoided, and the living crime cannot be escaped. β
Li Qingping was silent for a long time, and finally put down the dagger in her hand and slowly said a good word.
The old man glanced at the scholar who fell in Li Qingping's arms with his spare eyes, and said in a cold voice: "Miss, the old man has been obsessed with you for decades, and he can be regarded as seeing some human affairs, like this kind of goods, the old man has seen a lot, and there is a bit of talent in his belly. β
"Every time you slaughter more dogs, you always have a negative heart. The old man leaned forward slightly, and his eyes were ghostly, so that the scholar was speechless, and said in a cold voice: "To put it mildly, if Miss is not a lady of the Li family, but a small family of jasper, will this person still be inseparable from Miss? Take a step back and say, if my Li family is overturned one day, and there are other high-level women who like him, will he still be a couple with Miss for the rest of his life?"
Li Qingping's face suddenly turned pale, and her eyes were blank.
The old man looked at the scholar and sneered: "It's right to want to be on top, it's also good to have this kind of heart, but with a woman on top, isn't it a bit too inferior?"
While he was talking, a building boat docked on the riverside not far away.
There are lanterns hanging on the boat, with black letters on a white background, and a huge Xu character is written.
Just look at the refreshing one
