Sure enough, Shi Haoguang's words were true. The owner's wife, Gong Shuyuan and others visited him continuously in the next few days, asking for help and being extremely attentive.

Especially the wife of the owner, who had only met Li Wan a few days ago, kept saying that she was a good nephew, affectionate and kind, and some of the parents also made insinuations.

Gongshu Yuan even found Li Wan in private and told them clearly what they were planning.

Only then did Li Wan know that although the eldest lady had been in charge of Tiangongfang for some years, as she got older and became suitable for marriage, some uncles and children in the family began to plot to marry her off and seize power.

.

This is a common drama in family disputes, but for elders like them who surrender to the eldest lady, it is undoubtedly a disaster.

Not to mention, after the eldest lady goes out of office, whether the successor family can resist the elders' lineage, even if they can, there are also opinions from the emperor and the courtiers, they may not be able to continue to be reused.

Their biggest interest at the moment is to find a suitable husband for the eldest lady and stabilize the situation.

Shi Haoguang said that this matter should not be a close relationship between children and should be treated as a public matter. Li Wan somewhat agreed, but she discussed it with him in the mansion and when talking about the matter, she also felt a bit complaining:

"In terms of public affairs, I have a great future, and there is no need to cling to the Xiao family; in terms of private matters, although I am a gentle lady and a gentleman is a bitch, I already have a daughter, and these people only care about their own satisfaction, and they seem to be sure of me.

Looks like, but not

Think about it, the eldest lady may not be able to become my good husband and wife. To put it bluntly, if I really want to marry such a wife, it is not me who needs a good wife, but her Xiao family who needs a good foreign help. The parents are short-lived and the involvement is unclear.

The monks of our generation are in great harm!"

Shi Haoguang said: "You are right. A woman from a family like the eldest lady cannot even make the decision on her own marriage. A real union may not be beneficial to you. But these days, the elders of Gongshu and others have begun to lobby, and they obviously want to make a match.

You guys, whether you agree or not, it’s up to you to decide.”

Li Wan didn't hesitate at all: "If you don't agree, marrying the current eldest lady will mean marrying into trouble. I'm not that stupid."

Shi Haoguang was slightly startled. Then, a playful smile emerged: "Why, Fellow Daoist Li is really not moved at all?"

Li Wan smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Speaking of women, Li Wan had already had Zhenji. Originally, when he went to Tongshan this time, he wanted to enter the cave world to find her, but after careful consideration, he felt that if she could give him a top-quality orb, she must not be an ordinary demon cultivator. Even if he found it,

.It may not be possible to renew the previous relationship. It is better to wait until the cultivation level is advanced in the future.

In addition to Zhenji, he also has Lin Jingshu, who can be regarded as a loving wife and a close friend. He is deeply satisfied.

It would be false to say that Li Wan had no feelings for the eldest lady at all, but the reason why people are human is to be able to control their desires and act rationally.

In the eyes of ordinary people, a woman like the eldest lady, who has family status, talent, beauty, and good character, must be a good wife and mother. But what Li Wan values ​​​​more is someone like Lin Jingshu who can devote herself wholeheartedly.

In herself, she is a simple woman without the burden of family responsibilities or complicated relatives.

Although he has no talent, he is more than enough to be a vase, pleasing to the eye.

…

In the guild hall, the owner's wife was also discussing with Gong Shuyuan, Elder Mo and others.

"Elder Gongshu, Elder Mo, how certain do you think this matter can be accomplished?"

In her hands as white as jade, the lady was holding a thick silk scroll, which was covered with dense handwriting and seemed to record a lot of things. At the end of the scroll, there was a lifelike drawing of a human face, clearly outlining Li Wan's appearance.

.

These are all information related to him.

Nine years have passed since Li Wan escaped from Chiyangmen and joined Tiangongfang. During these nine years, although Tiangongfang did not deliberately spy on his secrets, they had some understanding of his identity and origins.

, even traced back to the positive valve.

Moreover, Gong Shuyuan and others observed him regularly and had some understanding of his personality. If they had not known him so well, they would never have suggested an arranged marriage.

Gong Shuyuan and Elder Mo were both in the hall. Listening to the question raised by the owner's wife, they quickly replied: "About 50% sure."

The owner’s wife frowned and said, “So few?”

Gongshu Yuan smiled bitterly and said: "Madam, Fellow Daoist Li is the most suitable one among the many talents we have selected. If we miss him, we may not be able to find him in a short time. To be 50% sure is actually not a small amount."

Elder Mo echoed: "That's right. Ordinary young talents are either from too great a family background and are difficult to get along with, or they are not good enough and are not worthy of our eldest lady. Most of the monks who have already formed an elixir are in their fifties or sixties."

People over 10 years old, like Li Daoyou, were born in

A clean, simple, uninvolved master who also has alchemy cultivation and a talent for refining weapons is a good choice in every aspect, but this kind of person is often arrogant, not to mention, his

Next to him, there is a girl Jingshu from Youxian Valley.

The current situation is that we urgently need to find a husband for the eldest lady, but it is not necessary for him to marry a good wife. Only by being moved with affection, understanding by reason, and being forgiving can we impress him. I believe that such a young gentleman,

It’s inevitable that you want to be surrounded by people and have both wealth and wealth, so you just have to work harder in this area.”

Several other elders heard their analysis and all agreed.

The owner's wife sighed and said: "Let the younger generation deal with the matter of children. It is common for a monk to have three wives and four concubines."

Gong Shuyuan and others looked at each other, each other's eyes filled with excitement.

They understood what the lady meant, and although they were not satisfied with some of the details, they still agreed.

"Madam, please rest assured, I will do our best to facilitate this matter."

After a secret discussion, the owner's wife, Gong Shuyuan and others made some explicit hints to Li Wan, and felt that they had laid a good foundation.

The elders asked Li Wan to accompany him back to the workshop under the pretext of inspection.

Li Wan guessed that they probably wanted to show off their cards, so they didn't say anything else and just brought Lin Jingshu with them.

Unexpectedly, the boss's wife and Gong Shuyuan didn't care at all and agreed wholeheartedly.

When Shi Haoguang learned about this, he couldn't help laughing and said: "The behavior of aristocratic families is different from that of a small family. Do you think that if you bring Miss Jingshu with you, they will retreat? I'm afraid these people have not taken Jingshu into consideration at all."

Take this girl seriously, she will not be an obstacle to you and the eldest lady."

Li Wan said suddenly: "The wife of the boss, the elder Gongshu and others are really generous!"

Shi Haoguang said: "It's actually not difficult to understand. The eldest lady and Miss Jingshu are just chess pieces in their eyes, and you, fellow Daoist Li, are also chess pieces, but the weight is different."

Li Wan couldn't help but nodded solemnly.

Now he is facing a choice, whether to mislead others or himself, or to achieve complete happiness, all in one thought.

But just before Li Wan wanted to find the owner's wife, Gong Shuyuan and others and politely refuse the marriage, an uninvited guest suddenly arrived.

This uninvited guest's surname is Xiao, and his name is Xiao Fengyi.

He was the guarding elder on Tongshan Mountain and was recommended by Elder Han. Since Elder Han had helped Li Wan fight for the Tiangongfang enshrinement, Li Wan could not refuse and agreed to meet him.

But when Xiao Fengyi announced her identity, Li Wan was suddenly surprised: "Fellow Daoist Xiao, are you the eldest lady's cousin?"

Xiao Fengyi smiled and said: "Not bad."

Li Wan asked in confusion: "I wonder what Brother Xiao wants from me?"

Xiao Fengyi said: "To be honest, Xiao has admired the name of Fellow Daoist Li for a long time, but has never had the opportunity to meet him. It is really a pity. Recently I finally had the opportunity to return to Tongshan, so I stopped by to see him."

Li Wan chuckled and looked at this person playfully.

Li Wan was not a three-year-old child, so he didn't believe these nonsense, but since the other party didn't bring up his intention, he was happy to talk about mysterious things and talk nonsense, just to relieve his boredom.

A strange look flashed across Xiao Fengyi's eyes, as if he didn't expect that Li Wan could be so calm, so he coughed a few times and stopped the irrelevant topic.

He asked: "Fellow Daoist Li, I heard that my aunt also came to Tongshan recently?"

At this time, Li Wan already knew that Xiao Fengyi's father was the younger brother of the contemporary owner, and the aunt he mentioned was the wife of the owner, so he nodded and said, "That's right. Brother Xiao hasn't gone to see her yet?"

Xiao Fengyi smiled awkwardly and said: "It is appropriate to meet the elders, but to be honest, Xiao was ordered to guard a black iron mine. This time he came back and took a break from his busy schedule. It would be bad if it spread."

Li Wandao: "Brother Xiao, this is your fault. As a descendant of the Xiao family, leaving your post without permission will have a very bad impact."

"Then I have to ask fellow Taoist Li to take care of me and help me keep this secret." Xiao Fengyi acted as if nothing happened and inquired about the purpose of the shop owner's wife's visit.

Finally, he seemed to ask intentionally or unintentionally: "I wonder how Li Daoyou is doing in the village, and how is he getting along with my cousin Qingning?"

Li Wan smiled and said: "The eldest lady governs well and treats us weapon refiners with preferential treatment. We get along very happily."

Xiao Fengyi asked: "Really?" He rolled his eyes, but suddenly showed a somewhat ambiguous smile: "I heard that my aunt intends to betroth sister Qingning to you, Daoyou Li. If this can be done, then,

Daoyou Li is just looking after his brother-in-law.

Although marriage is an important matter, it is the order of the parents and the words of the matchmaker, but it would be best if we can be happy with each other. It seems that Li Daoyou has a good impression of my cousin, and Xiao is also sincerely pleased."

Li Wan smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Xiao, where did you hear this news? It doesn't even matter, but some people start talking nonsense?"

Xiao Fengyi said: "I have my own source of information."

Li Wandao: "Brother Xiao, please be careful, this matter has not been settled yet."

Xiao Fengyi said with a joking smile: "Fellow Daoist Li, don't be embarrassed. It's normal for male students to get married and female students to get married. Why shouldn't you say it frankly? However, you probably don't know that if you become me,

What kind of situation will the son-in-law of the Xiao family face?"
