It was windy and rainy at night, and by dawn, some puddles had accumulated on the official road.
Mo Yuan took a trip to Yan County. On the way there, he also saw the dilapidated tea shop. After losing its popularity, the tea shop became dilapidated in only a year or two.
He sighed softly and continued on his way.
When we arrived at the Li family yard, we didn't see Mr. Li. The person who opened the door was his wife Song. She was dressed as a peasant woman. She was nearly thirty years old, but her face didn't have any weather wrinkles. She must have enjoyed a lot of blessings.
Mrs. Song saw that the visitor was well-dressed, and the brocade clothes were even more valuable. She quickly said: "Young Master is here to find my husband. He went to the Yamen in the morning and will not come back until the afternoon."
"Did you go to the Yamen..."
Mo Yuan thought for a while and said, "No problem."
As he spoke, he took out the three incense candles from his sleeves.
"The person I was entrusted with this time is an old friend of Mr. Li. I was too busy with things to come in person, so he asked me to bring these three incense candles. I hope that Master Li can pay respect to Mr. Li."
Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then said: "Master, go in first and drink some tea. We have prepared some fresh fruits at home to relieve the heat."
Mo Yuan said: "I won't bother you anymore. I'm going to trouble Madam this time."
"How can this be possible? The young master must have come all the way here. If we have two cups..."
"No more, no more."
Mo Yuan waved his hand and smiled, then handed the three incense candles to Mrs. Song.
Mrs. Song took it with both hands and asked, "I wonder which elder the old friend the young master is talking about is, so that I can let Mr. Lang know."
Mo Yuan thought for a while and said, "It's Mr. Chen."
"Mr. Chen..."
Mrs. Song recalled it, but she couldn't remember that her father had such an old friend named Chen.
I was about to ask again, but when I raised my hand, I saw that the young man in brocade clothes was no longer in front of me.
When Mrs. Song went out and looked around, she saw that there was no figure on the long corridor. She couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, feeling particularly strange.
"Gone..."
There is no corner in this alley, so in the blink of an eye, the person disappeared.
Mrs. Song couldn't understand. She lowered her head and glanced at the three incense candles in her hand. She thought that this was definitely not a trivial matter. Otherwise, how could they do such troublesome things.
By the time Master Li came back from the Yamen, it was already sunset.
Mrs. Song told her husband about the three incense candles.
After hearing this, Master Li looked at the three incense candles and thought for a long time.
"The surname is Chen, is he a gentleman?"
Master Li frowned and thought, but he could never imagine that his father had such an old friend named Chen during his lifetime.
Mrs. Song said: "Maybe he is an old friend of our father's who lives far away. It's normal for you not to know."
"cannot."
Master Li said: "My father has never traveled far in his life, so how could he come from such a distant place?"
Mrs. Song said: "You have forgotten that when our father opened the tea shop outside Qiuyue Fang, he met many people. Maybe they were old friends at that time."
Master Li reacted and said: "Maybe it's true, and this Mr. Chen hasn't been able to come here in person yet. He's so busy with things that he might be an adult..."
"I'm going to offer incense right now."
Master Li took the three incense candles and went to the ancestral hall.
After finding out who sent the incense candle, he kowtowed three more times and felt calmer.
The day cruiser in Yan County looked up and saw a touch of good fortune and good fortune.
"Fu Lu Qi? Why did it come out of thin air? Whose family is that?"
Several Japanese tour guides immediately went to check it out.
When they learned where that fortune and luck came from, several tour guides were a little shocked.
"It's actually three incense candles!"
"This Li family is probably very lucky!"
“I don’t know where I got the opportunity.”
"I'll go and report this to Lord City God."
The remaining patrolmen watched.
"Crack."
But suddenly, a tile suddenly fell from the roof, hitting the incense burner directly.
Master Li was shocked and took a few steps back.
Mrs. Yu hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Mr. Lang, are you okay?"
"fine."
Master Li looked at it and saw that the incense burner was not broken, but one of the three sticks of incense was smashed.
"Broken one stick!"
Seeing this scene during the parade, I secretly thought it was a pity.
"What a pity."
"If all three pillars are burned, it will at least be a blessing for three generations."
"It's a pity that a generation is missing."
After the city god of Yan County learned about it, he also came to the Li family ancestral hall in person, but he was surprised when he saw the remaining two incense candles burning with overflowing blessings and luck.
"Master!"
The city god of Yan County ordered people to investigate.
Several more secret agents were sent, and later it was during the conversation between the Li family and his wife that they found out where the opportunity came from.
"Lord Cheng Huang, it seems that Mr. Chen sent these three incense candles."
"Mr. Chen..."
The Town God of Yan County frowned and thought, but was suddenly startled. He suddenly remembered some rumors from many years ago.
'Could it be that gentleman!'
That Mr. Chen who determined the fate of the Dragon Clan with one word?
"Have you ever found out where that gentleman is?"
All the patrol agents shook their heads. Not only did they not know, but the Li family and his wife also didn't know who Mr. Chen was.
The City God of Yan County sighed and said, "What a pity..."
"The Li family is really lucky, but one of the three sticks of incense was broken..."
The City God frowned and murmured: "Is it God's will?"
Who can say clearly about such a thing?

Tao'er swept the yard early in the morning.
Speaking of which, she hasn't swept the yard in several years.
Tao'er looked at the dead tree. She looked at it for a long time and couldn't help but sigh.
Mo Yuan happened to see this scene when he came to the main hall, so he asked: "Do you regret it?"
Tao'er turned to look, she shook her head and said: "It's not regret, it's just a pity. In previous years, there would be a lot of peaches at this time, and my husband would often pick a few to quench his thirst. Later, I became a demon and the peach tree died.
"
Mo Yuan took a look at the dead peach tree. Speaking of which, this dead tree had been here for many years. Now the trunk was covered with moss and weeds, and the inside of the tree was rotten.
Suddenly a voice came from behind him.
"Dead trees will also bloom in spring, and one day they will bloom and bear fruit."
Miss Taoer called: "Sir."
Mo Yuan saw that Sir seemed to be going out, so he asked, "Sir, are you planning to go out?"
Chen Changsheng nodded slightly and then said: "The old Dragon King invites Chen to have a drink, will you two go?"
Mo Yuan asked: "But the Jianghai Banquet that Ying Yuan mentioned before?"
"Exactly." Chen Changsheng said.
Mo Yuan became interested and said: "Then I have to go and take a look. I heard that the old Dragon King was also very generous with his purchases. He has a lot of good things."
Tao'er also wanted to have a play, but after thinking about it, the wedding was approaching and she didn't know if she could make it in time, so she asked her husband.
Chen Changsheng said: "It only takes two or three days to catch up, so don't worry."
