Chapter 69

Chapter 69 Return Gift

They were unloading large and small bags from the car, only to find that the things they brought like treasures were of no use here at all.

The beds are all made of satin and every bed is new.

Pots and pans are also available.

Mrs. Li looked at the two boxes of silk and satin and touched them fondly.

"How much does it cost to buy so many?"

Lie Yan looked at it and said, "I didn't ask the price. I asked them to come and settle the bill tomorrow. We'll know then."

Mr. Li was stunned. He hasn't paid for this yet?

"Sister-in-law, let's keep one piece for each of us and return the rest."

Mom, Senior Brother Xiaomian is so scary, why did you give me credit?

Lie Yan was stunned and said, "Second Aunt doesn't like it? Then I'll let them give it away again."

"No, no, no, no. This is too much. We are all used to wearing coarse cloth. This satin is good, but we are not used to it."

Mrs. Li said against her will, her hand touching the satin cloth was reluctant to leave. These are all good things, and they will cost you a lot of money!

"Pfft"

Xiaomian couldn't help but laugh.

"Don't worry, Second Aunt, our family can afford it."

Mr. Li's eyes suddenly lit up and he asked subconsciously: "Is it really affordable?"

"Yes," Xiao Mian nodded and said with certainty, "My master left a large amount of property to me and my senior brother, so my second aunt doesn't have to spend money calculatedly in the future."

There is no need to spend money calculatedly, just spend it on whatever you want?

Mrs. Li glanced at her second niece.

"Really or not? Don't make fun of Second Aunt, Second Aunt will take it seriously."

"Really, we have money."

After Li Xiaomian finished speaking, Lie Yan quickly took out a dozen banknotes in cooperation.

Lie Yan admired Xiao Mian so much that the girl found a source for thirty thousand taels of silver with just one mouthful.

What a high-sounding and impeccable reason the master gave me.

When Lie Yan led Xiao Mian's family into Huaishu Hutong, the spies guarding Li's house immediately entered the Protector's Mansion.

"What did you say? Someone is coming from Li's house?"

Lord Protector Lie Pinglu looked at the flying pigeon in his hand and passed the letter. The letter that Nanny Qin had just sent back: Miss Li is fierce and unruly and refuses to see anyone.

"Yes, there are three carriages. The third young master personally led them in. I'm sure, there is a person named Xiaomian inside."

The Protector narrowed his eyes. Could it be that he had found the wrong person?

Ever since he knew the name "Li Xiaomian", he mobilized all his personnel to investigate.

From the household registration, one hundred and thirty people named "Li Xiaomian" were found. Then from the age and the location of Lie Yan's disappearance, the person from Qingshan Village was finally determined.

Lie Liangji heard the news and rushed over and asked: "Dad, do we want to go to Li's house to see it?"

The Protector threw down the flying pigeon in his hand to pass the message, and said calmly: "Why are you panicking? Let's just talk when people are here. Let the girls at home hold a spring banquet later."

The dignified Lord Protector went to meet a little girl. Isn't he taking it a little too seriously?

Lie Liangji cursed: Ever since he found out that Yan'er had a master, his father had already moved the second grandfather of Dinghai Shenzhen out. This doesn't count as taking him seriously. What does he take seriously?

It’s just that they don’t know how unreliable the Dinghai Shenzhen at home is.

Li Feiyun is a martial arts idiot, otherwise he would not be able to break through to the tenth level. He was sent by his nephew to protect his genius grandnephew, and they had a fight as soon as they met.

Lie Yan is the reincarnation of a mythical beast into a human, and he is naturally sensitive to strange smells. He also has the instinct of a ferocious beast that "one mountain cannot tolerate two tigers".

How could it be possible for a stranger to appear around me, let alone a strong man?

After some exchanges, Li Feiyun, who was on the tenth level of the Li Family Kung Fu, was forced back by his grandnephew on the eighth level. He tried his best to get a tie.

Li Feiyun, who had not had an opponent for decades, fought brilliantly. Suddenly, the bottleneck that had not been touched for many years was loosened.

The old man liked him so much now that he was still in the mood to care about his great-nephew and flew back to his lair to retreat and attack the eleventh floor.

So the Lord Protector still doesn't know that the bodyguards he arranged escaped.

Ever since she got an extra thirty thousand taels, Mrs. Song has been a little uneasy. Accepting so much windfall money all at once, she always feels that she is not as comfortable as spending money earned by herself.

Xiao Mian couldn't bear to see her mother struggling, so she secretly got a ginseng tree and showed it to her: "Mom, my daughter has a lot of treasures, just don't worry."

Mrs. Song looked at the radish-thick ginseng and was completely speechless.

The next day, we had an Anjia banquet.

After dinner, Mrs. Li went out and came back with a lot of yellow paper incense candles.

Mrs. Song asked: "It's out of season, why did you buy this thing?"

Mrs. Li lowered her voice and said, "Our family received so much money from Master Xiao Mian, I thought I should reciprocate the gift, right?"

Mrs. Li thought for a whole night and felt that Master Xiao Mian was a ghost fairy and she would definitely receive the paper money.

Mrs. Song was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Well, you are still thoughtful."

As soon as they heard that this was a return gift to Master Xiao Mian, the whole family gathered around. Those who folded ingots folded ingots, and those who cut out money cut out money.

Lie Yan was shocked by the actions of the Li family.

This family is so cute, especially the second aunt. Xiao Mian believes everything they say without any doubt.

At night, with the bright moon in the sky, Li's house was filled with incense. The whole family prayed devoutly that Master Xiao Mian would be well.

Li Xiaomian looked at the bright moon in the sky and thought to herself: Master, our whole family has become your devout believers. I wonder if you, the old man, can receive this otherworldly prayer?

Master Xiao Mian, who was far away in the Nine Heavens, sighed: You are a foolish disciple, you have not yet solved your own destiny, but you still have the leisure to develop disciples for your master. You are so wise and wise, but you are so stupid.

Since Xiaomian's family came to the capital, Lie Yan also stayed here.

The Lord Protector tried to find him to send messages to the Li family, but he couldn't find anyone.

We are going to hold a Spring Appreciation Banquet, and the purpose is to invite Third Brother’s junior sister.

The fact that Lie Yan recognized a junior sister suddenly became headline news in the Protectorate's Mansion.

Mrs. Protector asked: "Junior sister Yan'er has been brought back? Where is Aunt Qin? Why don't you just bring her home?"

Lie Liangji said quickly: "Mother Qin picked up the wrong person. Yan'er and her junior sister's family have a house in the capital."

The wife of the Crown Prince, Lie Yan's biological mother, was extremely depressed.

My father-in-law pays special attention to his son's addition of a junior sister. It is not a trivial matter that can make his father-in-law pay attention to him.

The whole government knew about such a big thing, but her mother was the last one to know.

If the son doesn't like to talk, doesn't his husband also like to talk? Why can't he say it in advance when he falls asleep in the same bed every day?

Receiving his wife's sad look, Lie Liangji sighed silently: Wife, does your son's junior sister have a more terrifying identity? My husband dare not tell you.

The Li family sisters are even more lively:

Let’s first talk about the naming of girls from the Li family.

The eldest daughter of the Li family is the first child in the family. Her name is Li Huwei. It is taken from the saying "The young general emerged from the military power and entered the silver platform to protect Ziwei".

Isn’t it strange for a girl to be called by such a majestic name?

In fact, this is what is stipulated in the ancestral teachings of various families.

The first child, regardless of male or female, must be the backbone of the family. A boy who inherits his father's property is the heir apparent, while a girl who is not married can call for a son-in-law. If necessary, she can inherit the title as a woman.

This can ensure that the family can be passed down from generation to generation regardless of whether there are males or not.

Of course, if there is a man, the daughter has to step aside.

Even so, it can be seen that the daughters of the Li family have a high status.

Of course, the names of the subsequent brothers and sisters are much more casual.

For example, the second oldest Lie Hualan, the third oldest Lie Huilan...

At least it has the meaning of Lan Xinhuizhi and looks like a girl.
