"Great Elder, you have completely abandoned your feelings for Li Xiaoxi, right?"
"Little girls grow up, and when they grow up they are no longer little girls."
Li Xiaofeng gritted his teeth, nodded and turned around to leave, laughing at his naivety.
"Whether I will take action in three days depends on what kind of bargaining chip you can provide me. Li Xiaofeng, don't forget your mission. Also, Li Xiaoxi is counting on you."
Li Xiaofeng walked out of Li Zhiyan's room without looking back, and closed the door when he left.
wedding day
In the early morning, Li Xiaofeng and the subordinate designated by Li Zhiyan pretended to rush from the city wall to the inner city. Li Xiaofeng walked in front and stared expressionlessly at the residential area that was gradually becoming clearer. The looming red lantern in front was imprinted on his blank mind at the moment.
As the distance gets closer, it becomes clearer, but becomes increasingly blurry.
Finally, after walking for more than an hour and approaching the end of the hour, the man next to me reminded him: "Sir, Fuxiang Restaurant has arrived. Should we go back to the restaurant first or go directly to Hong Mansion?"
"You go back first. Then I will go to Hong Mansion with my father to congratulate you."
"yes"
The restaurant was not open for business today. Li Xiaofeng went directly from the back door to the backyard of the restaurant, exploring the situation of the restaurant with all his spiritual consciousness. When he arrived at his father's door, Li Xiaofeng hesitated and knocked on the door.
"Is Feng'er back?"
"Yes, father"
When Li Xiaofeng saw his old and haggard father opening the door, he felt an inexplicable feeling in his heart that made him feel a little difficult to breathe. In order to prevent his father from seeing his embarrassment, Li Xiaofeng quickly adjusted his emotions and his father
We entered the house together.
"It's the child who has caused trouble to the father." After Li Xiaofeng closed the door, he turned around and knelt down in front of his father.
"Get up quickly. One family can talk about two families. Now only you and me are left to depend on each other. No matter what you want to do, your father will support you." After his father helped Li Xiaofeng up, he went to find him nearby.
He took a seat and continued talking.
"Don't worry, the servants have all finished their explanations. After sending the congratulatory gifts, they should come back and continue to open their doors for business. I have also handled all the things you told me without leaving any trace. But if I don't do it later,
Going to Hong Mansion with you won't arouse their suspicion, right?"
"It doesn't matter. They won't notice whether we are there or not. But father must be more careful along the way. I have already taken care of the city gate. You just need to leave according to the steps I said before, except for me.
No one can find you."
"Hehe, don't worry, son, if it weren't for my low level, it wouldn't be your turn to give orders."
The man stood up, patted his son on the shoulder, put a small package on his back with a smile, opened the door and left.
"Don't forget, son, you are the eternal pride of father and mother. Once you decide, just do it boldly. Don't be afraid, we will always support you!"
After hearing his father's words before leaving and looking at the handsome back, Li Xiaofeng shook off all the vague shadows in his mind, finally stood up and went out with a firm look.
Arriving at the entrance of the restaurant, Li Xiaofeng felt desolate for the first time on the main road connecting the city gate and the inner city. Although there were big red lanterns hung on both sides of the street, other than that, the street felt less lively than usual. Chatting from the side of the street
Li Xiaofeng learned from some of the few words that Hongfu's wedding seemed to be just a formality. In the morning, the welcoming team circled the inner city and did not even come to the outer city. People from the outer city stood guard on both sides of the road.
The people who were waiting to watch the fun only received hundreds of red envelopes that were given out when the team turned around at the archway.
For those who were unable to attend the wedding in the outer city, it was as if they had met an ordinary family's wedding team that passed by in the distance in the morning, and it was over. Hong Mansion could not even be heard from Fuxiang Restaurant.
Did you set off any firecrackers today?
Because there was a wedding banquet held in Hong Mansion, Li Xiaofeng walked into the inner city easily today. He couldn't remember the last time he entered this area openly. He thought that the inner city would be a different lively scene, but he didn't expect that it would still be...
A lifeless look.
When we arrived at the street at the entrance of Hong Mansion, the scene changed slightly. Only the housekeeper and the second master of Hong Mansion were in charge of receiving guests at the door. Behind the door were seven or eight servants and an accountant who were busy collecting gifts. Maybe
It was because without the lively sound of firecrackers, the 囍 characters and lanterns at the door made Li Xiaofeng feel a little redundant.
Li Xiaofeng took out the invitation and handed it over. The butler quickly took it and said: "Master Xiaofeng, please." But the second master never even looked at Li Xiaofeng, as if this was an ordinary banquet held by the Hong Mansion.
There is no need to waste time with these little people.
After entering the door, Li Xiaofeng looked at the busy servants running around, wishing he had two more legs and two more hands. Even when a red lantern in a corridor was knocked to the ground, no one paid attention, just letting the breeze blow.
Little by little it was blown into the pond. Through the garden in the front yard, Li Xiaofeng came to the door of the main hall. The hall was already filled with famous dignitaries in the city. Li Xiaofeng's seat was at the end near the door.
There was a seat in front of him. No one greeted him along the way, and he sat firmly in his seat while hiding away.
The moment he sat down, Li Xiaofeng finally understood that what this wedding banquet lacked was not the excitement of firecrackers, but people's laughter and blessings.
Looking at the guests in the high seats and listening to their words that had nothing to do with the wedding, Li Xiaofeng got up and went to find the hut before the banquet officially started. When he left the side door, Li Xiaofeng felt two glances from the main seat, one from
Li Yihong, and the other was Great Elder Li Zhiyan. If City Lord Li Senlin wasn't in the main hall at the moment, there might have been a third look. Li Xiaofeng didn't turn around, pretending not to know and left the main hall.
Niu Er was standing guard near the side hall as scheduled, and Li Xiaofeng found him easily. He pretended to ask for directions loudly and walked towards Niu Er step by step.
"Is there any problem, Yuhuan girl?"
"Brother will take her to the stage personally."
"what happened?"
"At this point, we know that you have done your best."
"Where's the creek?"
"Miss Xiaoxi asked me to give this to you." Niu Er handed Li Xiaofeng a jade pendant with many holes of different sizes in the middle, but he did not say another sentence that Li Xiaoxi asked him to convey: "It's not worth it for me, forget it."
'.
Li Xiaofeng took the jade pendant and turned around, heading towards the toilet pointed by Niu Er.
When the auspicious time came, the noisy Hong Mansion finally turned into a palace with loud musical instruments. When the bride and groom came to the door of the main hall, the crackling sound of firecrackers finally resounded throughout the world.
"Worship the heaven and the earth"
"Two bows to the high hall." The two people who took over the tea cup at this time were Li Yihong and Li Zhiyan. Today's wedding was truly what a wedding should be like. Everyone burst into thunderous cheers and applause. How could this be?
The marriage of a daughter-in-law in the Hong Mansion is clearly a marriage between two major families. People who have long been worried that a war between the two major families will affect their own interests are cheering and celebrating at the risk of their lives. As for those who do not know the true strength of the Hong Mansion and are worried about the big family.
The people who settled the accounts after the fall were even happier, and even shed tears with excitement. At this moment, I am afraid that only the ignorant children would think that it was the union of the bride and groom that moved and delighted everyone. I really want to know their touching love story.
ah.
"Couple's Worship"
The content of the subsequent wedding returned to calmness, but finally the atmosphere was no longer as heavy as before. You should toast when you should toast, and you should take the opportunity to fawn over. Of course, the person most people at the scene wanted to fawn over was Li Yihong or Li Zhiyan.
, it’s a pity that he is not qualified, but the groom’s father can still go and toast a few more times. Even if the second master of the Hong Mansion has a good drinking capacity, he can’t withstand the rounds of bombardment from all the families. After three rounds of drinking, everyone discovered that this
The new father-in-law disappeared, and most people thought he must have passed out drunk and didn't know where he was hiding.
City Lord Li Senlin, who was sitting in the second seat, first noticed something was wrong and waved to the housekeeper to come over.
"Master Li Xiaofeng, didn't you come today?" For others, they may have ignored this person because of Li Xiaofeng's pretense of transparency in recent years, but for Li Senlin, he has not underestimated this person since fourteen years ago.
The child of a merchant family. Now as the city lord and the number one master, it is impossible for him to ignore Li Xiaofeng's existence like others.
"Yes, he's here, but I haven't seen him since the banquet started." It was the butler who replied. No matter how hard a butler like him works, he must always be at his side when the master needs him.
, so when the city lord just waved, he quickly ran behind the city lord.
"Where is the second master?"
"The second master seems to have suddenly remembered something important and returned to his yard."
"Going back at this time? What's important?"
"It looks like something important was left in the house."
Li Senlin thought in silence for a while. After he connected the things about Li Xiaofeng, Li Xiaoxi, the elder, the second brother, and the important items left behind... he got up and headed directly towards his father Li Yihong's courtyard.
When he opened his spiritual sense and searched Li Yihong's room with no results, he reluctantly took out a jade pendant that was exactly the same as the one Li Xiaofeng had just obtained. He opened the drawer of the table in front of him, took the jade pendant, reached into the drawer, and buckled the jade pendant inside the drawer on the table.
Then pushed the drawer back. With a "click", a gap appeared on the edge of the bookshelf next to it. Li Senlin opened the gap and got in.
However, after a while he came out of the secret room in confusion, took the jade pendant and rushed towards his second brother's courtyard. Li Senlin pushed the door directly and entered, but what he didn't expect was that the second brother-in-law who had just become the new father-in-law
It was because he had drunk too much that he was lying in bed and fast asleep. What he didn't expect was that when he returned to the banquet hall, Li Xiaofeng was holding a glass of wine and drinking one glass with another official next to him.
Get Zhenghuan.
Noticing Li Senlin's gaze, Li Xiaofeng did not dodge this time, but raised the wine glass in his hand to toast the city lord from a distance. But in Li Senlin's eyes, all this turned into a mockery of the loser by the winner.
Li Senlin snorted coldly and was too lazy to pay attention to this clown who wanted to commit suicide. After adjusting his mentality, he chatted with the two people at the main seat for a while about the song and dance performance he had prepared.
As the servants gradually replaced the delicious dishes on the table with melon and fruit snacks, and the strong liquor was replaced by tea, the dancers appeared one after another. The melodious music and graceful dancing postures made everyone fascinated.
His mouth was even more dry. When almost everyone drank the tea in the small teapot in front of them, the dance music just ended. Li Xiaofeng clearly saw that the people who needed the most attention had drank the tea and no longer
Hesitatingly, he walked step by step to the center of the hall while everyone looked at him with doubts and shock.
