Li Shouzhong has been worrying about how to refuse the Li family's invitation recently, the amount of smoke has increased greatly, and his face is sad, and at this moment he suddenly heard his son and grandson take the initiative to ask to participate in the family competition, and thought that he had hallucinated in his old ears, and his eyes were wide at the moment, staring blankly at Li Hongji and Li Guo who were kneeling in the hall, and he did not ease his senses during the day.

Seeing that his father was as stunned as a wooden chicken, Li Hongji hurriedly got up, stepped forward and patted Li Shouzhong's back, helped him smooth out, and then whispered in his ear: "Daddy, look at how you were surprised like this!"

When Li Shouzhong heard this, he pulled Li Hongji's fat hand away and scolded: "Do I look like a surprise? ! You two don't know the depths, you don't know whether you live or die, I was frightened like this!"

Li Guo buried his head and knelt down, muttering: "The older you get, the less daring you get!"

Although Li Shouzhong has lost all his martial arts and is over 60 years old, his foundation is still there, his ears and eyes are clear, and when he heard the words, he was even more angry, and he kicked Li Guo with a false kick, and said angrily: "Am I cowardly?

Li Hongji knew that Li Guo was not treated by his father since he was a child, and he had been trying his best to resolve it, but first, Li Guo had been a tendon since he was a child, reckless and rude, and his father was on the same footing, and it was difficult to reconcile;

But today, Li Hongji felt that the time had come, so he hurriedly smiled, hugged Li Shouzhong's neck, and said proudly: "Dad, now I and Guo'er are not the bears we used to be, this time, we promise to make you have a long face!"

Li Shouzhong has always doted on Li Hongji, and he didn't care about his actions of hooking up with himself, he glanced at him with his eyes, and snorted in his nose: "Just like this, for more than ten days, you two can still turn a chicken into a phoenix?!"

Li Hongji laughed, grabbed Li Shouzhong's hand, and walked outside the hall without saying anything, saying as he walked: "It's a mule or a horse, slip away!"

Li Shouzhong felt that his son's words sounded very awkward, how could it sound like he was going to pull himself out to slip away, but before he could open his mouth to object, he couldn't resist Li Hongji's brute strength, and he was involuntarily staggered out.

Li Guo wrinkled his nose, snickered, and also turned over and walked towards the martial arts training ground after him.

The Li family's house covers a large area, consisting of more than ten courtyards, and the easternmost courtyard is a martial arts training ground for Li Hongji and Li Guo.

On the side of the field is a row of weapon racks, swords, guns, swords, halberds, axes, hooks and forks, which were all personally customized by Li Shouzhong in order to cultivate his children and grandchildren, so he is very familiar with these weapons, and since he found out that his children and grandchildren have no martial arts qualifications, Li Shouzhong rarely comes to this martial arts training ground again.

But today, when he stepped into this martial arts training ground again, he was first shocked by the two weapons placed separately next to the weapon rack and leaning against the courtyard wall.

I saw that on the left is a big knife, with a thick back and a thin blade, and a green dragon is engraved on the back of the knife, which is forged by imitating the Qinglong Yanyue knife of the martial saint Guan Gong during the Three Kingdoms period, and the weight is estimated to be about 100 catties;

Li Shouzhong used to be the son of the Li family, although his martial arts were lost, his eyesight was still there, he stared at the knife and shot for a long time, and then turned back suspiciously and said to Li Hongji: "Son, did you invite any outsiders to come?"

In Li Shouzhong's heart, those who can use those two weapons must have quite a hot expert in martial arts.

In the past, there were no such weapons at home, and with the little martial arts of his son and grandson, it was difficult to wield a weapon of forty catties, let alone these two heavy weapons.

Li Hongji and Li Guo glanced at each other, laughed, didn't answer, and threw themselves towards the knife.

In Li Shouzhong's stunned, he saw Li Hongji wheel up the Qinglong Yanyue Knife, and kicked the heavy bright silver spear to Li Guo who came later.

The sword light is like snow, the shadow of the gun is like a flower, and the two extremely heavy weapons are extremely easy in the hands of the two small hands, without any sense of difficulty, and Li Hongji's knife skills and Li Guo's marksmanship make there are rules and methods, such as flowing water, as if they have been immersed in this way for a long time.

Wiping his eyes vigorously, Li Shouzhong stared at the second child who was moving around in disbelief, and gradually, the color of ecstasy gradually appeared on Li Shouzhong's face, and two lines of old tears flowed silently.

Li Shouzhong, who was already cold and discouraged, would have thought that a miracle had happened!

Seeing his father crying with joy, Li Hongji hurriedly stopped the sparring, jumped out of the circle, walked quickly to Li Shouzhong, stretched out his hand to wipe away his father's tears, and his heart was not good, and he choked up: "I'm sorry, Dad, I used to be ignorant children, so I let you worry and let you down!"

Li Shouzhong looked at his chubby son with teary eyes, mixed feelings, shook his head and said, "Son, you have finally grown up! Dad is happy!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at Li Guo, who was standing in the middle of the field, lowering his head and not daring to get close, feeling sad and relieved. Taking a deep breath, Li Shouzhong beckoned to Li Guo and said, "Come here!"

Li Guo, who had never heard Li Shouzhong speak like this, raised his head suddenly, looked at his grandfather's kind and excited face, tears couldn't help but roll in his eyes, and he hesitated for a long time before he slowly moved to Li Shouzhong's side with a sob.

Li Shouzhong hugged Li Guo tightly in his arms, and choked up: "Guo'er, my good son, you are my Li Shouzhong's good grandson!"

Finally got the approval of his grandfather, Li Guo couldn't hold back anymore, and immediately cried, venting his grievances in Li Shouzhong's arms for more than ten years.

Li Hongji's eyes were red, smiling, and his heart was full of joy when he saw his father and nephew eliminate the mustard.

When the grandfather and grandson were almost vented, Li Hongji smiled and said to Li Shouzhong: "Dad, now we can go to the family competition, right?"

Li Shouzhong wiped his tears and nodded: "Yes, of course you can!"

Li Hongji patted his father's shoulder and said, "Isn't that time to celebrate?"

Li Shouzhong was in a good mood, poked his son's head with his index finger, and said with a smile: "Okay! We should celebrate! Today, my father is going to send porcelain to the county seat, you two will go with me, let's go to Jinfulou and have a good meal!"

The second child was overjoyed when he heard this, and there was a burst of cheers.

Li Guo suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "Grandpa, can we bring a friend?"

Li Hongji also hurriedly answered: "Yes, let Gaozi go with us!"

Li Shouzhong hesitated for a moment and asked, "Gaozi?" is that kid from Orion's Gao Ting's family?"

Er Xiao nodded again and again: "Yes! It's him, he's the best friend of both of us!"

Li Shouzhong is loyal, proud, and has no prejudices, so he nodded and said, "Okay! Just call him along, and we'll leave in half an hour!"

Gao Jie only returned from practicing martial arts in Yongfeng Mountain yesterday, and when he got up today, he nested in the room to tinker with his pills, and when Li Hongji and Li came to look for him at home, he was holding a sieve filled with various colored pills in the yard ready to dry and dry.

Hearing that he was going to the county seat, Gao Jie agreed without hesitation.

He has been in the Ming Dynasty for more than ten days, and he has long wanted to see the appearance of Mizhi County, so he went back to the house and said goodbye to his father, and proudly patted the little head of Zhu Xin.

Mizhi County was called "Yinzhou" in ancient times, in the Ming Dynasty was subordinate to Shaanxi Buzheng Division Yan'an Prefecture Suide Prefecture, located in the central and eastern part of Yulin, Shaanxi, the middle reaches of the Wuding River, "with its land has rice fat water, fertile soil should be millet, rice juice is like fat" and named, the county territory is relatively broad, including Yulin, Hengshan, Zizhou, Suide part, according to Hongzhi "Yan'an Mansion Chronicles" record, Mizhi County "according to the mountains and rivers, even the desert. ”

It was almost noon when a small caravan came at the gate of the county seat, led by a man over sixty years old, dressed in a long gown made of purple satin, with a bowled melon skin hat on his head, a square face with big ears, slightly high cheekbones, a long beard fluttering under his chin, a cigarette pouch with a copper rod in his hand, and a maroon Guanzhong horse riding under his crotch.

It would be very good for the average rice fat family to have a good rice donkey, and those who can ride the precious Guanzhong horseback are by no means well-off.

Behind him was a carriage drawn by two horses, and the curtains on both sides of the carriage were lifted to reveal three slightly immature, joyful little faces.

The carriage was followed by more than 20 human-powered three-wheeled carts, and the goods on the carts appeared to be quite heavy. Although it was autumn, the weather was still a little hot, and the helpers of more than 20 carts were flushed with sunburn and sweating profusely.

The one who came was the caravan of Li Shouzhong's family to deliver porcelain, and the Li family's ceramic kiln produced well, and they would come to the county seat every seven or eight days to deliver goods, and Li Shouzhong would come in person every time. Of course, there were three boys who came with him this time, it was Gao Jie, Li Hongji and Li Guo who were sitting in the carriage.

Gao Jie came to the county seat of the Ming Dynasty for the first time, and kept looking around with curiosity. There are not many people in Mizhi County, and the buildings are still mainly caves, and some courtyards and pavilions are uneven from time to time.

Li Shouzhong first took the caravan to a designated porcelain shop in the market, handed over more than 20 carts of fired porcelain that he had brought this time, and then arranged for the hungry and thirsty helpers to eat in a simple post canteen before taking the three boys to the best restaurant in the county -- Jinfulou.

Jinfu building is three stories high, carved beams and painted buildings, standing in the center of the county, it looks very magnificent.

Xiao Er's eyes at the door were very good, and when he saw Li Shouzhong's dress, he knew that he was a rich man, so he quickly nodded and led them to the lobby on the second floor.

The first floor is a scattered seat for the well-off family to eat, and the guests who can go up to the second floor are basically rich and wealthy, and there are more than a dozen private rooms on the third floor, which is a place for some rich and noble people to eat.

Li Shouzhong has always been frugal, if he wasn't happy today, he wouldn't have been reluctant to come to Jinfulou, and he used to eat a few buns and drink bowls of porridge in the small dining hall of the post station with the helpers.

Li Hongji came to Jinfulou for the second time, taking advantage of his father's happiness, a messy meal, and asked for ten dishes, Xiao Er smiled with his eyebrows, but Li Shouzhong was next to him, his face twitched, his heart was shocked, and his flesh hurt, but considering that Gao Jie was present, it was inconvenient to scold and block it, and the children and grandchildren suddenly made great progress in martial arts, and they were full of joy, so they had to let Li Hongji Hu come.

During the banquet, in addition to watching his son and grandson become more and more pleasing to the eye, Li Shouzhong also became interested in Gao Jie, the child of Orion. Because of Gao Jie's speech and demeanor, he really doesn't look like a country doll who has never gone to private school and has never seen the world. And it seems that his son and grandson are very obedient to him, which makes Li Shouzhong very surprised.

Li Hongji and Li Guo are completely children's hearts, they have to taste food today, and they immediately gobbled up, shouting, and very noisy, while Gao Jie chewed slowly, polite, and looked light, so that Li Shouzhong had a trace of illusion from time to time, as if there was a big man sitting opposite.

Just when Li Shouzhong was a little distracted, a burst of laughter suddenly came:

"Isn't this the generation of the Li family in the Li family back then?"
