As soon as Li Xianyuan and his servant crossed the threshold to the front yard, a middle-aged man came towards them.

The servant who led Li Xianyuan came forward and bowed respectfully to the middle-aged man: "Steward Li, this young master is here to sign up."

The man was dressed in a green robe, with a goatee, and a tall and straight figure, with a bit of bookishness, and a vague youthful demeanor. After hearing this, he looked Li Xianyuan up and down, and nodded slightly with a satisfied look on his face: "Yes, he has some temperament. This is

Leave the person to me, and you can continue to wait at the door."

"Then the young one will go." The servant said respectfully, and trotted back to the door.

Li Xianyuan followed the servant with his eyes until the servant disappeared through the door, then turned back and followed Butler Li.

The housekeeper walked in front and said without looking back: "Follow me to see the old lady."

Old lady?

Li Xianyuan stopped

"What?" Butler Li turned around and looked at Li Xianyuan who stopped: "Is there anything wrong with you, sir?"

"There may be something wrong." Li Xianyuan and Butler Li looked at each other and said, "I came to sign up."

"Isn't the registration office right outside the door?"

"But the childbirth trial registration office?"

"..." Butler Li seemed speechless. After a long silence, he said: "This is the Li family. The examination room is still a cup of tea away from here."

Li Xianyuan understood and cupped his hands slightly: "I'm sorry for bothering you, I'll leave now."

"Wait a minute." Butler Li stopped Li Xianyuan who was about to turn around. "Registration is tomorrow, so it's useless for you to go now. Since you have nothing to do, you might as well come in and sit down. Are you still afraid that my Li family can eat people?"

Show your courtesy when you have nothing to do. Li Xianyuan said this in his mind. He looked around Butler Li and looked at the courtyard behind him.

In the rockery stream, several young maids were hiding in the distance, pointing here and whispering to each other.

This is the registration office. What are you recruiting? Could it be a servant...

"Yin marriage?"

Li Xianyuan was startled when he heard this and thought that he really shouldn't have come this time.

Walking back and forth in the huge garden, Li Xianyuan was led to the study by the housekeeper. An old lady sitting on the master's chair behind the desk got straight to the point and asked Li Xianyuan if he would like to have a dark marriage.

"Yin marriage is about finding a spouse for the deceased." Butler Li thought Li Xianyuan didn't know and explained to him.

"There are no dead people in my family. The old lady has found the wrong person." Li Xianyuan cupped his hands and pretended to be confused. He connected everything with the team he saw outside before, and everything was explained.

Except for the girl on the coffin.

The old lady was in her sixties, wearing gorgeous brocade clothes. Although her eyes were cloudy, she was full of wisdom. Perhaps because of the death of a relative, her expression was a bit sad. She was stunned when she heard this, and turned to Butler Li: "Yuansheng

,Don’t this young master know the situation??”

"Old madam, he was going to the examination room to register, but he bumped into our house by accident. It was a fate. I just made a mistake and deceived him to come to you. The success or failure of recruiting a grandson depends on your wishes.

That's it." Butler Li was very respectful to the old lady and said in salute to the younger generation.

"Is that so...that's right, we can't delay it any longer. Yuansheng, please go down first, and I'll talk to this young master."

"Please take a seat." After Butler Li left, the old woman looked at Li Xianyuan and said, "I would like to apologize first. Yuansheng was too anxious, so I brought him here without your consent."

A maid came in with tea, and Li Xianyuan said without squinting: "It doesn't matter."

For this kind of thing, the old woman will definitely pretend to be pitiful to win sympathy, and she won't be able to soften her heart. There is a young man outside who is chasing after her, and if she marries a dead man and goes home, it will be really messy.

"Looking at the young master's appearance, he is not a local, is he?" the old woman said as she sipped some tea.

"People from other counties." Li Xianyuan's figure was upright.

The old woman said kindly: "Looking at how busy the young master is, he must have just entered the county not long ago, right? Take a sip of tea to moisten your throat."

"Thank you, old lady." Li Xianyuan said, but his body remained motionless.

He began to hope that Ji Canghai would come to the rescue soon. It would be better to say something like, "This man belongs to me, you can't get involved with it. If you want to take it away, ask this young master's fist first." and so on.

Li Xianyuan knew his character and was too soft-hearted. If the old woman begged him, she might really take a dead person home.

The old woman seemed to see the mood in Li Xianyuan's heart, and smiled slightly and said: "Don't be afraid, our Li family will not force others to do anything. If you really don't want to and won't force it, just treat it as a guest."

She spoke sincerely, and Li Xianyuan relaxed a little.

The two were speechless, and the study fell into silence. The fragrance of Longjing tea mixed with the fragrance of books and ink in the study.

About half a cup of tea later, Li Xianyuan stood up from his seat and wanted to say goodbye. The old woman did not stop her and sent her maid to escort Li Xianyuan out of the house.

This trip was somewhat strange. Li Xianyuan walked onto the street, looked back at the Li Mansion and thought to himself.

After leaving Li's house, Li Xianyuan walked around the examination room and then returned to the inn. He locked himself in the room and did not leave the door until the next morning, when he went to the examination room to register.

The exam day is scheduled for the Beginning of Summer two days later. Li Xianyuan usually stays in his room reading, and goes downstairs to eat at meal time.

From the conversations among the diners around him during the meal, Li Xianyuan got to know the real customs and customs of this world. After all, he had been living alone in the mountains for more than ten years, and his knowledge of this place was only passed down by books and villagers in the village.

The most rumored thing in the past two days is the upcoming Tong Sheng Examination and the second lady of the Li family. The Tong Sheng Examination is related to Li Xianyuan's establishment, and the Li family has some contact with Li Xianyuan. It is said that the second Miss Li has passed the first seven years and has been buried.

.But the husband-in-law has not been found for a long time.

"The Li family's vision is too high. Otherwise, based on the Li family's wealth, they would have as many sons-in-law as possible. Why would they be like this now... I won't go into details, let's pour the wine."

Li Xianyuan was sitting by the window on the second floor, and the chatter of the surrounding diners could be heard faintly.

The lanterns outside the window were lit up, and the sky was filled with stars. The flow of people on the street below continued unabated. The hustle and bustle and the unique aroma of snacks lingered up, which made Li Xianyuan, who had a table full of food, a little more appetite.

Facing this prosperous scene, Li Xianyuan felt that he had somewhat integrated into the world.

There was faint laughter and applause coming from the Wanghu Tower across the street, and the window paper was shadowy. Tomorrow is the childbirth examination. Those talented ladies who are sure of winning will book the restaurant and find some friends and girls from the brothel to add to the fun. Of course, the good reputation

It is said to recite poems and compose poems.

I heard that the most talented woman in Wuhou County had appeared, so this early "celebration banquet" for young girls and boys changed its flavor. Many young people from all over Wuhou County who thought they were talented came. So the celebration party became a poetry party.

Previously, the protagonists stood aside and became supporting characters.

"Uncle, please give me something to eat. I haven't eaten for two days." A voice from the side interrupted Li Xianyuan's train of thought.

Li Xianyuan looked away and saw a young beggar standing in front of the table, looking dirty and pitifully at him.

"Sit down." Li Xianyuan glanced at him lightly, then looked away and looked out the window again.

In the restaurant opposite, there are still young men dressed in fashionable clothes and holding folding fans. They are pouring in one after another. You don't need to guess the purpose of their coming. This most talented woman in Wuhou County is very popular, but I don't know what she looks like.

"I'm so hungry, can I eat?" The little beggar still had a pitiful expression.

"Eat." Li Xianyuan simply didn't look back.

The little beggar was not polite. He sat down opposite Li Xianyuan and reached out to grab it without even using chopsticks.

The squeaking sound was endless, Li Xianyuan frowned and turned his gaze to the little beggar who was swallowing a lot of oil: "Canghai, do you eat like this on weekdays?"

Ji Canghai swallowed the food in his mouth, stretched out his wrist, revealing a section of skin as smooth as a white lotus root, wiped the grease from the corner of his mouth and said, "Isn't this to fit the image of my current dress? Eh? Do you recognize me?"

Before Li Xianyuan could answer, Ji Canghai muttered to himself, "He is indeed the man I like." and so on, and then continued to devour. For a moment, Li Xianyuan really felt that Ji Canghai in front of him was pretending to be a hungry beggar.

Pushing the plate in front of him towards Ji Canghai, Li Xianyuan picked up the tea cup and brought it to his mouth, looking out the window again.

His eyes narrowed slightly, and there was a new change in the restaurant opposite.

A window in the restaurant was pushed open, and a woman appeared in front of the window. Li Xianyuan looked at her from below.

It was a street away, so her appearance was not clear. She could only tell that she was a well-known and beautiful woman. Li Xianyuan raised the teacup, waved it at the woman from the air, and drank it all in one gulp.

If you don't consider his age, he is quite romantic.

The woman was stunned and nodded slightly.

Putting down the tea cup, Li Xianyuan suddenly felt something strange. Or maybe it was because the chirping sound disappeared.

Li Xianyuan turned around and saw Ji Canghai staring at him with a puffy face.

Li Xianyuan said helplessly: "You have the airs of a cultivator. Will you stand up and stare at the enemy in the future?"

"It's not the same thing. How can I put a sword to your neck... Huh?" Halfway through his words, Ji Canghai's eyes suddenly shone.

That's right. I can't convince him, but I can beat him. It doesn't matter if you don't agree, just tie him up and take him away and force him...

Snap!

There was a crisp sound, and Ji Canghai covered his head, hunched his neck and looked pitifully at Li Xianyuan, who was holding a chopstick in his hand: "Why are you hitting me?"
