The young man and the owner of Yishuntang finalized the details, and left with their families, but before leaving, they set a time for the Li family father and son to return to visit, and the two families seemed to be about to warm up.

Before Li Zhaochang could arrange the affairs of the store, he was ready to rush back to Lishan with a horse talisman alone. A sudden invitation disrupted his plans.

This invitation is from the Jingzhou Grain Association, inviting the proprietor of Li Da to go to the Jingnan Hall to participate in the banquet in the evening of the next day. Although Li Zhaochang's Yishuntang has a good business under his care, it can only be said to be a small shrimp in the Jingzhou Grain Association. Usually, it is the turn of reconciliation or plenary meetings to have the opportunity to go to the hall, let alone such a serious dinner.

Therefore, the proprietor of Li Da was quite flattered, and of course he was a little proud. It seems that this year is full of fortune, good things come in pairs, and I am looking to go to the next level.

So he asked Li Zhaozhuo, whose account office was also his cousin, to return to his hometown on his behalf, and took his handwritten letter to discuss the result with the clan. When I negotiate with the clan elders, I will stay there and arrange relevant matters. However, the matter is big, and when Li Zhaochang goes to the grain banquet, he still has to go.

Of course, he did not disclose the information about the "marriage contract" in the letter, but he also analyzed the stakes clearly. As long as all the emergency food left in the township is taken out, so as to catch the line of Huajia, one of the nine families of Tiantongmen, not to mention money, the income is also clear at a glance. Boss Li didn't believe that the group of "old fools" who were not old and confused would not be able to see clearly.

Li Zhaochang knew that the elders in his clan were usually a little picky and not generous enough, but those people were not old men who were willing to be lonely and satisfied with the countryside, and they had not forgotten the glory of their ancestors in their hearts, and they were always thinking about making the Li clan a wealthy family with many immortal masters. They just have been living happily for a long time, and they lack a kind of pride in spending a lot of money, otherwise they will ......

He shook his head and drove away the distractions, and after writing the letter, he let Li Zhaozhuo set off overnight.

On the 25th day of the first lunar month, it began to snow heavily again in the morning. In fact, the large-scale formation used to drain Yunmengze has already reached the end of the climate anomaly, and this heavy snow that Jingnan has seen once in a hundred years is just a return to the light.

At about the end of the day, Li Zhaochang, who had already packed up, got into his mule cart and asked his men to drive to the Jingnan Hall.

Before he left for a while, a grain store guy braved the wind and snow and hurried to Yishun Hall, and it turned out that a child who claimed to be a young master and scholar came to the grain store. But he didn't expect that Shopkeeper Du had a wide range of people in Tieshan City, especially had a lot of dealings with the "knights" in the city, and he actually recognized the origin of this "scholar" at a glance. He had never heard of his benefactor mentioning it, so he was naturally suspicious in his heart, and he didn't dare to call the shots alone.

As an old Jianghu, he was also afraid that there would be too many people and bad eyes to leak the news, so he didn't take the child directly to Yishun Hall. Instead, he left Shi Kangdang in the store and sent another guy to the store to report the news.

It just so happened that the proprietor and the account office that usually managed the housekeeping were not there, and this guy was also the young uncle of the Nine Clans, so he brought the message to the young owner. Li Zisheng, who was worried about this child, was overjoyed when he heard the news. Although he was young, he heard a little deep meaning in the message of the shopkeeper Du, and after thinking about it, he decided to go by himself.

Since the proprietor and the account office were not there, the young proprietor was naturally a man of his word, so Li Zisheng followed Uncle Jiu to Liangxing Street.

pressed this head, and said that he came to the hall located in the west of Tieshan City, and when he entered the door, he felt a warm breeze blowing on his face, his body was hot, and his eyes were also bright.

Li Zhaochangrao had entered the Jingnan Hall several times, and he was secretly taken aback in his heart. It turned out that at the end of this year, the host of the guild hall took advantage of the boiling food price to hire a lot of people to reorganize the guild hall with food. Boss Li also knew the news, but this was the first time he had entered the renovated hall.

If the courtyard of Tianyi Pavilion is elegant and refined, then the courtyard in the Jingnan Hall in front of Li Zhaochang is a rich atmosphere, and people can see at a glance that it is all piled up with money.

Boss Li knew that the large magic circle on his head to control the temperature and dispel dust was the thing that burned the Yuan Stone, and there was also such a magic circle in the family, which was basically opened when the weather was abnormal, and the Yuan Stone also made the whole clan feel pain. And the magic circle here in the guild hall has such a good effect, I don't know how many square yuan stones will be used every day.

To his left is a small lake surrounded by willow trees in the corridor, which is actually a piece of water that encloses the Falling Star Lake. A flock of colorful waterfowl roost on it, frolicking and pecking in the lake, unaffected by the wind and snow outside. There are also several delicate boats tied to the willow trees by the pond for Yashi to raft on the lake. On the other side of the lake is a small island that has been reclaimed by man, and there is a water pavilion built on top of a rockery.

To the east of the lake is the main complex of the Jingzhou Guild Hall, but these pavilions are not built on flat ground. In front of Boss Li are several low hills. The mountain is planted with fruit trees of all colors. In this cold winter weather, the branches are still fruitful, wafting out bursts of fruity fragrance, which can't help but make people salivate. On the ground were all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, woven into green brocade and draped in the forest. If you look closely, you can also see elk and white rabbits competing among them, and pheasants and finches streak across the sky.

Each hill is a pavilion of different shapes, and there are faint silk bamboos and human voices coming from inside. A stone-paved path of blue jade winds its way to connect the pavilions, like a jade belt around a small mountain.

Li Zhaochang looked at it with a long distance, and it was clearly not the scenery of the world, but the weather of the fairy family!

At this time, his son Li Zisheng followed his own men and crossed the Xuanhe River and came to Dongcheng. Because of the waste water discharged from the ironworks in front of it, instead of freezing, the surface of the river was steaming with a trace of white gas, which was formed by the condensation of water vapor in the cold air.

The river was still in a mess, but today there was a little more garbage that was not there before, and the young man took a closer look, and it turned out to be swollen human corpses! These corpses slowly floated in front of Li Zisheng's eyes along with all kinds of garbage, making the young man feel cold all over his body, as if he was in a ghost.

Li Shaodong's house was stirred up by the stench emitted from the river again, and his chest churned, and finally he couldn't help but run to the side of the boat and vomit up today's lunch.

When he got off the boat, the scene before him was even more miserable. In a clearing between the southern and eastern cities, there were many more snowdrifts of one person's size. If you look closely, these snowdrifts are actually dead bodies. The Tie family also sent a team to collect the corpses, and the corpses were loaded into the car and dumped in the Xuan River.

A corpse collection cart passed in front of the young man, and there was not even anything covering on it, and it was directly exposed in front of his eyes. The corpses were frozen to death, and their faces were not hideous at all, but with a strange smile, as if they were happy to be free from this disgusting earthly world.

Li Zisheng involuntarily squatted down again and retched.

Li Zhaochang followed the attendant who led the way to the highest mountain, where there was a three-story pavilion, which was particularly magnificent by the mountain. The golden dome on top had almost touched the highest point of the circle.

At this time, the sky is still bright, the inside and outside of the pavilion have been lit up and down, Boss Li looked up to see the plaque, on the book three dragons flying phoenix dance big characters, pick up the star building.

When he entered the star-picking building, it was even more lively. In the lobby on the first floor, there were already more than a dozen guests dressed in brocade and silk, who were scattered in groups in this hall. Some of them look at the surrounding scenery by the railing, and their mouths seem to be reciting poems; some stand in front of the silk and bamboo, quietly listening, nodding their heads in approval from time to time; and some sit around the round table, drinking hot tea and eating fresh fruits while talking and laughing loudly, which is very enthusiastic.

Just when Li Zhaochang blinked his eyes that were dazzling by the lights, and was about to look for an acquaintance, he heard a surprised voice come into his ears. "Isn't this Brother Li?"

When he heard the sound, he turned his head, and saw a very rich-looking brocade meat dumpling walking towards him, Xu was excited and Xu was too fat, and the flesh on his face trembled with his steps, looking a little funny.

This is an old acquaintance of the boss of Li, Lou Zhongde, the big proprietor of Fuchun Hall. In addition to being a grain merchant, he also runs a grocery store, don't look at what he sells, all he sells are homely things like needles, threads, brains, pots and pans, and three melons and two dates are not worth much. But this Lou Daguan has opened this grocery store all over Jingnan, which can be said to be gathering sand into a tower and making money every day.

Lou Zhongde walked over tremblingly and grabbed Li Zhaochang's hands, and said excitedly: "Brother Fool just entered the city today, and he was thinking about going to Guitang to visit Brother Xian, but I didn't want to meet him here! Brother Fool heard at home that Brother Xian was in danger and injured on the way, and it was really tasteless and difficult to sit and lie down. Then he lowered his voice and said, "Brother Fool will enter the city as soon as he is free, if I hadn't heard that the news of this meeting is related to the lives of those of us, I would not even have come to this meeting to pay a visit to Brother Xian's shop." ”

The two were greeting each other warmly, and suddenly a person next to them interjected: "I have long heard that Brother Li is from Tianmen, and his art industry is amazing. Now I know that Brother Li is a real person who does not show his face, and he does not show his appearance. was able to single-handedly kill the Peng thief, destroy the monster, and save the life of Miss Tiesan. It really makes the little brother sigh to himself. ”

Li Gaoren turned his head and saw that he was also an acquaintance. The person who opened his mouth had a melon face, and he usually had a little arrogance on his face, but now he squeezed out a smile. This is the young owner of the Ji family in the southwest of Jingzhou, and the young master of the Zhenxi faction of a small sect there, Ji Taikang. This is not a simple grain merchant, but a large wine producer. Because the stream where the dojo is located is melted by the snow of the snow-capped mountains, the water quality is excellent. Therefore, the wine produced is also clear in color and strong in taste, well-known far and near, and is marketed throughout Jingzhou.

Boss Li was about to be humble, and someone joined them: "What Ji Shaodong said is extremely true! I used to act poorly and recklessly, which offended Mr. Li's tiger power. It was only today that I realized that Mr. Li was broad-minded and not very self-conscious, so he let me go. Forgiveness of sins, forgiveness of sins. Speaking of this, this bearded, tall man in purple robe who was the tallest in the audience bowed to the ground.

This person's name is Jin Ruilong, and he is even more "familiar" with Li Zhaochang, and he can be regarded as an old friend who does not fight or know each other. Because Boss Li's previous main business overlapped with him, there were several overt or covert conflicts. He also has a dart game under him, because he is from Yongzhou, the southernmost part of Jingzhou, so it is called Yongzhou dart board.

How could Li Zhaochang embarrass the person in front of him in this kind of scene, he could only use all his strength to help the person up, and the two people next to him also enthusiastically persuaded them, and the four people stood there and chatted happily.

At this time, Li Zisheng, under the leadership of Uncle Jiu, made a big circle along the Xuanhe River and wanted to enter the grain shop through the back door. That's because according to Uncle Jiu's words to the young man, the road at the front door has been blocked by the people queuing up to buy food.
