Two days passed by in a hurry. Yawen 8 w=w·

Wuhou County today is a little different from the past. The reason is that today is the 70th birthday of the old lady of the Li family.

If you ask Mrs. Li, everyone in Wuhou County knows her. Even the entire Shuntian Prefecture is somewhat famous.

Mrs. Li married into the Li family decades ago. After giving birth to two daughters, her husband suddenly passed away. The pillar of the family fell and the Li family declined. The Pang family, who had been close relatives in the past, competed for property, and business partners also took advantage of the situation.

Mrs. Li, who had just given birth to her second daughter, stood up and overcame all difficulties. First, she expelled those relatives who had taken advantage of the chaos and expelled them from the family tree. Then she made vigorous rectifications and resuscitated the Li family, which was in decline.

So far no one dared to gossip.

Therefore, even the magistrate of Wuhou County always respects Mrs. Li.

Li Xianyuan woke up early, washed up as usual, took a wicker stick and dipped it in salt to clean his teeth, untied his hair, washed it again and tied it into a Taoist temple, put on a clean blue shirt that had been washed white, and walked to the bronze mirror.

A young man with red lips and white teeth and an extraordinary temperament.

Carrying the bamboo scroll on his back, he took a pair of couplets as a congratulatory gift and went out.

After half a stick of incense, I saw a tall mansion in front of me, painted in vermilion, with majestic stone lions standing on both sides, and a gold-plated plaque hanging high above the main door - Li Family

Mrs. Li's birthday was a big event. There were more than a dozen businessmen in brocade clothes coming and going, and servants carried birthday gifts covered with red silk and piled them up in front of Li's house. ﹎＞ Yawen Bar﹎ w`w·w=.

= Most of the gifts given by others were jade, antiques, silk and wood. In comparison, Li Xianyuan, who was carrying a bamboo tube on his back and holding a couplet in his hand, looked very shabby.

"Master Wang! I have admired you for a long time. Oh, this is not shopkeeper Tong. Why did you take the time to come here? Mrs. Wang! I am disrespectful and disrespectful..."

The master of ceremonies in front of the door seemed to know everyone and could easily call everyone by name.

Several servants in green shirts and little hats were counting the gifts and then shouted loudly.

"Shopkeeper Tong of Wuhou County, a load of longevity noodles, a pair of jade horses, and ten pieces of Soviet silk!"

"Mr. Ma, the owner of Shuntian Mansion, has a congratulatory message and a birthday ceremony! A piece of fine nanmu! I wish the old lady a long life!"

The singer Nuo Jiading received another pair of famous thorns. After taking a look, he shouted in an excited voice: "Prefect Yin of Shuntian Prefecture, a gold-lettered plaque! I wish the old lady a 70th birthday!"

As the words fell, there were bursts of exclamations, and even the servants became a little proud. The Li family seemed unknown, but in fact it was surprisingly powerful. Even the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture sent someone a plaque.

The team soon came to Li Xianyuan's turn. The master of ceremonies in front of the door saw that he had empty hands, a poor appearance, and a very unfamiliar appearance. He couldn't help but feel suspicious and asked: "Who is this young master?"

He has been a master of ceremonies for many years, pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger, looking poor. He has seen many people with amazing status, so he does not dare to look down upon them.

Li Xianyuan handed over the invitation he received. The master of ceremonies took it and unfolded it, then immediately put on a smiling face. Yawen 8 w`w`w=．

"It turns out to be Mr. Li Jue, the Marquis of Guannei. Please come in quickly."

"You're welcome." Li Xianyuan returned the gift and handed over the couplet in his hand. "A pair of congratulatory couplets."

The ritual master took it with both hands, handed it to a servant on the side, and sang it loudly by himself.

"Li Xianyuan, Marquis of Guannei, presents a couplet of congratulations!"

The people in the queue behind him felt strange when they saw the host being so polite to a poor young man. They suddenly realized it when they heard the shout.

It is said that the thirteen-year-old Guannei Hou has a close relationship with the Li family, and now it seems that it is indeed the case. The old lady actually came to the birthday banquet in person. The magistrate of Shuntian Prefecture is only the sixth grade, and has the same official position as this young man.

Hearing the buzz behind him, Li Xianyuan stepped onto the steps and entered the threshold.

Li Xianyuan entered the door and saw a middle-aged Confucian scholar approaching, the housekeeper surnamed Li. "Master Li, I have come to welcome you from afar."

Li Xianyuan handed over his hand: "Butler Li, you're welcome."

Butler Li had a somewhat complicated expression on his face, shook his head and chuckled: "A dozen days ago, you were just a scholar who was not even a boy. Now you have transformed. The magistrate of this county will respectfully call you Mr. Li."

"Butler Li is serious. These are external things, and I don't value them very much...at least not now. You can just think of me as the little boy I once was."

Butler Li looked at Li Xianyuan, who was peaceful but not arrogant, with a look of approval on his face, and said: "There is still some time before the birthday banquet. The old lady knew that you would come early and asked me to wait for you here. She said that you have a young mind, and at the birthday banquet,

If you can't sit still, you're not an outsider anyway, so you can wander around the house as you like."

The old lady is old, but her heart is like a mirror. She probably heard that Liu Xixin and his son asked Po Cangqiong to deal with Li Xianyuan, and she was worried that Li Xianyuan would suffer at a young age, so she wanted him to avoid the limelight.

Li Xianyuan replied respectfully: "Can I trouble you, Butler Li, to thank the old lady for me?"

Farewell to Butler Li, Li Xianyuan walked through the front yard, walking and stopping based on his memory, and finally came to a courtyard bedroom.

He stretched out his hand to open the door and stood outside. He saw that the festive red color in the room had been removed and turned into an ordinary boudoir again.

The pastries on the table are still new, and it is obvious that someone often takes care of them. The spirit tablet is facing the door, and Li Xianyuan can faintly see a row of small characters on it outside the door.

There is no one in the courtyard, and even if there is someone, they will not bother him.

Li Xianyuan raised his legs and stepped into the room. A few wisps of incense smell penetrated his nose. Li Xianyuan came to the token. The half-burned incense on the incense burner in front of the token was disturbed. The ash broke off and fell into the incense burner. A few green smoke rose.

It also becomes chaotic.

There were footsteps behind him. Li Xianyuan thought it was the maid cleaning the room and ignored it.

But then, a cold voice remembered.

"Who are you?"

Li Xianyuan turned around when he heard the words. The bright sunlight outside the door shone into the room, making Li Xianyuan unable to see clearly the person at the door. He only knew that it was a woman with a slim figure.

After a few breaths, my eyes got used to the brightness, and when I looked at it attentively, my pupils suddenly shrank.

"Ji... Wan'er?" Li Xianyuan lost his voice.

"Do you recognize my sister?" the woman asked strangely. After looking at Li Xianyuan, she suddenly realized: "Are you Li Xianyuan?"

younger sister?

Li Xianyuan, who was in a state of excitement before, could not see clearly. He saw that this woman was twenty years old. Her eyebrows were like distant mountains, her eyes were like autumn water, and her eyebrows were extremely beautiful. She was very similar to Li Waner, but there were some differences upon closer inspection. Li Waner looked a bit weird.

, and this sister has a frosty and serious face, and her face is somewhat resolute.

Nowadays, Miss Li is running the business of the Li family, so her temperament is understandable.

Li Xianyuan replied: "That's right."

"What are you doing here?"

"Seeing things and thinking about emotions."

The eldest daughter of the Li family has been out taking care of her all year round, but she still knows a little about the affairs of the Li family. Naturally, she also knows about her sister and Li Xianyuan. She said, "You and my sister have only known each other for a long time. What's there to worry about?"

Li Xianyuan noticed that the eldest lady of the Li family seemed to be somewhat hostile to him.

He answered truthfully: "We have known each other for a total of sixty-three hours. Although the time was short, it is unforgettable."
