The side courtyard was clean and tidy. Li Jingtian propped up the wooden shelf and took advantage of the sunny weather to dry out the wooden slips. As he was carefully arranging them, a seven or eight-year-old girl walked in quickly from the inner courtyard, wearing a red dress with gold patterns.
He was quite happy, holding the brocade bag in his hand, and just smiled and said:
"Aniang! When will Brother Jiao pick up the bride?"
Li Jingtian held Li Qingxiao in his arms, looked at the time, and replied warmly:
"The time is almost here. Pack your clothes and go down the mountain together."
"oh…"
Li Qingxiao is also eight years old. He was found to have a spiritual orifice years ago. Li Jingtian was so happy that he quickly asked her to get the exercises and come to practice. Everyone came to congratulate her. Chen Donghe was also quite satisfied. The couple closed the yard to watch.
After practicing with Li Qingxiao for a while, I realized something was wrong.
It stands to reason that Chen Donghe's talent is good, and the Li family is a descendant of the Foundation. Li Qingxiao has a spiritual acuity, and his talent should be no worse than Chen Donghe. However, the couple looked at it for a while and found that Li Qingxiao's talent is really not that good. The Xuanjing Wheel requires eighty
A ray of spiritual energy, and it took Li Qingxiao almost half a month to condense a ray of spiritual energy...
Based on this calculation, it would take Li Qingxiao more than three years to have the opportunity to condense the Xuanjing Wheel, which is almost the same as the descendants of monks with foreign surnames at the foot of the mountain. What's more, Li Qingxiao practiced the "Shanglang Lun Yang Method" that Li Tongya brought back from Lingyanzi.
", specially prepared for the monks who have not received the talisman seed. It is better than those of monks with other surnames, otherwise it will be slower.
Li Yuanjiao was at the center of the storm. He only held up his sleeves and adjusted the golden patterns on the cuffs of his red clothes. He was in charge of the main courtyard of the clan. Naturally, he understood the plans of the Li family very well. He straightened his wedding robe and said with a smile:
Xiao Guiluan came down the mountain and waited in the county. After sitting in the sedan for a while, he finally heard that someone came to pick up the bride.
Seeing that the time was approaching, Li Yuanjiao and others got on their horses and went to meet the Xiao family in accordance with the custom. Fortunately, the Xiao and Li families were not too far away. The fetal breath monk had amazing physical strength, so there would not be much trouble. If the two families were separated,
Since we were far away, we could only make a formality and send someone to bring Xiao Guiluan back.
"The phoenix sings and clangs, and it flourishes for five generations, and the peach trees shine brightly, and it lasts for thousands of years... The door and courtyard are shining, and they will be tied to the harp forever."
"The storm is rising, and there will be changes... Five surnames emerged from the seven towns, and seven more towns appeared in the north. How many people are struggling to make a living..."
Li Yuanjiao turned over and dismounted, offered incense and wine, and completed the etiquette of the Xiao family. It took him a full hour to finish, nodded, turned the horse around, followed the sedan leisurely, and headed in the direction of the Li family.
.
After all, Li Qingxiao was still a child. After riding the carriage all the way, he seemed a little sluggish. However, the child was sensible and neither cried nor made trouble. He smiled and stuffed a kit into Xiao Xian's hand and led him into the carriage. Xiao Guiluan was the only one left.
In the wedding sedan.
Li Qingxiao nodded and said with a smile:
"If you want to go to the Xiao family to find a husband, I have to choose one who is better for Qingxiao..."
A group of people came to pick up Xiao Guiluan and stood at the foot of the mountain for a while. The Xiao family's ceremonial team appeared not far away happily. The ground was covered with red flowers. Li Yuanjiao waited silently for a while, looking at the gorgeous
The sedan chair moved in front of him, and a boy of about ten years old jumped down from it. He was also dressed in festive clothes, holding a round jade wall in his hand, and said respectfully:
Seeing Li Qingxiao's response, Li Jingtian couldn't help but tell him:
"When the boy from the Xiao family gives the jade ring to you Brother Jiao, you will give him the tips bag, say some auspicious words and some customs, and remember them all to save others from gossiping."
After the boy finished his auspicious words, Li Yuanjiao thanked him and took the jade wall. A pink-skinned girl emerged from behind him, and it was Li Qingxiao.
Li Jingtian paused for a moment, with a complicated look on his face. He only replied:
As long as you are not a lazy man with nothing to do, you will always get a piece of land or a pot of gold if you work hard. People don't want much, just to survive. This kind of opportunity is already a huge luxury.
From the moment Li Tongya broke through the foundation building and married the Xiao family, it has become the general trend to break up and settle down the family in the north. From the ancestors of the foundation building, Qi Lianxianxiu, to the wealthy family with the surname Wang, everyone is eagerly looking forward to it.
Just like the golden age brought about by the capture of Huaqian, the servants of the Li family once again got the opportunity to climb up. The seven towns were turbulent and people were motivated.
The stagnation and stagnancy caused by the increasing number of children of the Li family and Zhu Wang was thrown out of the window. The wealth and military exploits brought by the foreign invasion allowed more talents to emerge, and several Wang surnames had a vague premonition.
Li Qinghong held the wooden box in his hand, blinked his eyes, and suddenly asked:
"Auntie, I heard that I will marry into the Xiao family just like my sister-in-law did..."
Li Qinghong nodded obediently, and Li Jingtian picked up the wooden box beside him and explained:
The foot of the Li family mountain was also lively and lively, decorated with lanterns and festoons. It was much grander than the Lu family's wedding that year. Red silk was hanging all around, and the sound of suona music echoed in the Li family road, which was already filled with joy.
Everyone on the mountain and down the mountain was beaming with joy.
"It's been a long journey, so I prepared some cakes for you. You can use some in the car so you won't be hungry."
Li Jingtian just held her hand and greeted her in a low voice:
"Go down first, so that your brother won't have to wait impatiently."
The couple sat opposite each other and thought for a long time. Chen Donghe looked at the other members of the Yuan Qing generation and even felt guilty, feeling that the Chen family's bloodline was not correct and had delayed Qing Xiao.
————
Guli Road has been renovated twice now. The Xiao family took care of it a few years ago. There is a post station across the road and the road is smooth and easy to walk. Li Yuan didn't need to rest at all, but there were many men from the Li family who came to pick up the bride.
Ding didn't have any cultivation skills, so he stopped and walked, and it took him several days to reach Lixia County.
"It's still too early. Who can tell clearly what will happen in more than ten years."
After capturing Huazhongshan and Yutingshan for more than half a year, the Li family's territory almost changed. Li Xuanxuan planned to establish a total of seven towns at the foot of Huazhongshan and Yutingshan, plus the four towns of Lijing and the three towns of Huaqian, a total of 14 towns emerged.
A large amount of land and labor were provided for reclamation, and the people of the seven towns, which were gradually crowded, had a place to go, and the entire Li family seemed to be more energetic.
Now that all social strata are benefiting, the Xiao family is marrying off their daughters in person, and everyone above and below supports and fears the Li surname even more. Li Yuanjiao sees this, and is naturally in a good mood. The uncles on the side don't know what Li Yuanjiao is laughing at, and just think he is
They were happy about the marriage and congratulated each other repeatedly. Only Li Yuanjiao's concubine brothers looked at each other and laughed silently.
"There will be good times ahead."
He only had time to glance at the sedan, and without using his spiritual sense to detect it, he carefully looked at the graceful figure cast on the curtain. Li Yuanjiao said softly:
"It's a pleasure to see you."
The figure paused for a moment, then picked up the fan in his hand. A light shadow shone down, and a clear voice came from behind the curtain, gently and deftly, and only replied:
