Chapter sixty one. Seventieth birthday
Two days passed by. Yawen8 w=w·
Today's Wuhou County 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 about Mrs. Li, everyone in Wuhou County will know it. Even the entire Shuntian Prefecture is famous.
Decades ago, Mrs. Li married into the Li family and gave birth to two daughters. Her husband suddenly died. The pillar fell and the Li family declined. Those close relatives, the Pangshi, competed for property, and their business partners also took advantage of the situation.
Mrs. Li, who had just given birth to her second daughter, stood up and overcome all difficulties. She first expelled the relatives from the family tree while taking advantage of the chaos. She then vigorously rectified the situation and saved the Li family, who was looking down.
No one dares to gossip at this point.
Therefore, even the magistrate of Wuhou County respects Mrs. Li.
Li Xianyuan woke up early, washed up as usual, took willow branches and dipped salt to clean the teeth, untied the long hair, washed it again as a Taoist temple, changed into a clean blue shirt that was washed white, and walked to the bronze mirror. A young man with red lips and white teeth and a temperamental appearance.
He carried a bamboo scroll on his back, took a couplet as a gift, and left.
After half a stick of incense, I saw a high-gate mansion in front of me, with vermilion lacquered paint, and a mighty stone lion standing on both sides. A gold-burned plaque hanging high above the main door--Li Family
Mrs. Li’s birthday is a big event. There were more than a dozen merchants in brocade clothes. The servants carried a birthday gift full of red silk and piled it in front of the Li family.﹎> Yawen Bar﹎ w`w·w=.
= Most of the gifts given by others are jade and antiques, silk and wood. Compared to that, Li Xianyuan, carrying a bamboo tube and holding a couplet, looks very shabby.
"Mr. Wang! I have been admiring for a long time. Oh, this is not Manager Tong, why did you take the time to come? Mrs. Wang! I feel respectful and respectful..."
The emcee in front of the door seemed to know everyone, and he easily called out everyone's names.
Several servants in blue shirts and small hats counted the gifts, and then shouted loudly.
"The Tong Zhangguin of Wuhou County, a tuft of longevity noodles, a pair of jade horses, and ten pieces of Soviet-made silk!"
"Master Ma, the chief clerk of Shuntian Prefecture, have a congratulations and a pair of longevity! A piece of nanmu! I wish the old lady a long life!"
The Singnuo family member took another pair of famous stings, and after looking at them, he shouted excitedly: "The Prime Minister of Shuntian Prefecture, a golden plaque! I wish the old lady a seventy-year-old birthday!"
As the words fell, the exclamations caused, and even the servants became a little proud. The Li family seemed to be unknown, but in fact they were extremely powerful. Even the prefect of Shuntian Prefecture asked someone to send a plaque.
The team soon came to Li Xianyuan's turn. The emcee in front of the door saw that he was empty-handed and looked poor and unfamiliar, and couldn't help but feel suspicious and said in confusion: "What is this young master?"
He has been a celebrating for many years and pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger. He has seen many people with amazing identities, so he dare not underestimate them.
Li Xianyuan handed over the invitation he received, and the emcee took it and opened it, and immediately changed into a smiling face. Yawen8 w`w`w=.

"So it's Mr. Li Jue, Guannei, please come in quickly."
"You're welcome." Li Xianyuan returned the gift and handed over the couplet in his hand. "A couplet."
Etiquette quickly took it with both hands and handed it to the servants beside him, singing loudly.
"Li Xianyuan, the Marquis of Guannei, send a pair of congratulatory couplets!"
The person queuing behind him had originally felt strange when he saw the emcee so polite to a poor boy, and he suddenly realized when he heard the shout.
It is said that this thirteen-year-old Guannei Hou had a good relationship with the Li family, and now it seems that this is true. The old lady actually came in person. The prefect of Shuntian Prefecture is only a sixth rank, and she has the same official position as this young man.
The discussion behind him came into his ears, and Li Xianyuan stepped on the stairs and entered the threshold.
When Li Xianyuan entered the door, he saw a middle-aged Confucian scholar coming, which was the housekeeper named Li. "Mr. Li, I have missed the opportunity to welcome you."
Li Xianyuan bowed: "Butler Li is welcome."
Butler Li shook his head and chuckled: "A dozen days ago, you were just a scholar who was not even a child. Now that you have transformed yourself, the magistrate of this county should respectfully call you Lord Li."
"Butler Li is so serious. These things are external to me. I don't value them very much...at least I don't value them now. You can just think that I was the child of the past."
Butler Li looked at Li Xianyuan, who was calm but not arrogant, and showed approval on his face, and said, "It's still some time before the birthday party. The old lady knew you would come early and asked me to wait for you here. She said that you are a young man and you will not be able to sit still at the birthday party. Anyway, you are not an outsider, so you can stroll around the house at will."
The old lady is old and has a clear mind. I think she heard that Liu Zuxin and his son were asked to deal with Li Xianyuan when they dealt with Li Xianyuan. She was worried that Li Xianyuan would suffer a loss at a young age and wanted him to avoid the limelight.
Li Xianyuan replied respectfully: "I'll ask Mrs. Li to thank the old lady for me."
Farewell to Butler Li, Li Xianyuan walked through the front yard, and took turns to stop and stop with his memory, and finally came to a courtyard bedroom.
I reached out and pushed open the door. I stood outside the door and 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 people often come to take care of them. The spirit card is facing the door, and Li Xianyuan can vaguely see a row of small characters on it outside the door.
There is no one in the courtyard, and even if there is someone, he will not care about him.
Li Xianyuan raised his legs and stepped into the room. A few wisps of incense scented into his nose. Li Xianyuan came to the token. Half of the incense burner burned in front of the card was disturbed. The ashes broke and fell into the incense burner. The little rising blue smoke also became disordered.
Footsteps came from behind. Li Xianyuan thought it was the maid who cleaned the room, so he ignored it.
But then, a cold voice came to mind.
"Who are you?"
Li Xianyuan turned around when she heard this. The bright sunshine outside the door shone in the room, making Li Xianyuan unable to see the person at the door clearly, and only knew that he was a woman with a delicate figure.
After a few breaths, my eyes were used to the light, and I looked at it intently, and my pupils suddenly shrank.
"Ji...Wan'er?" Li Xianyuan lost her voice.
"Do you recognize my sister?" the woman said strangely, looking at Li Xianyuan, and suddenly realized in her heart: "Are you Li Xianyuan?"
younger sister?
Before, she was in a state of excitement but couldn't see clearly. When Li Xianyuan looked at her, she was full of years of beauty, with her eyebrows as far as the mountains and her eyes as autumn water. Her eyebrows were extremely beautiful, very similar to Li Wan'er, and she looked a little different. Li Wan'er was a bit eccentric, while this sister was serious and serious, with a bit of firm face.
Now this is Miss Li who is busy doing business in the Li family, and it is understandable that such a temperament is.
Li Xianyuan replied: "It's right next."
"What are you doing here?"
"Looking at things and thinking about emotions."
The eldest lady of the Li family has been traveling outside to take care of her all year round, but she still knows a little about Li Jiasheng, so she naturally knows about her sister and Li Xianyuan. She said, "How long have you known my sister and I have known each other? What's there to think about?"
Li Xianyuan realized that the young lady of the Li family seemed to be somewhat hostile to her.
He answered truthfully: "I have known each other for a total of 63 hours. Although the time is short, it is unforgettable."
Li Xianyuan remembered so clearly that the eldest lady was quite surprised. The hostility in her eyes dissipated a little, and it was still frosty.
