Just in case, Old Dao Xi stayed in Duke Cao's mansion that night.

I have to say that the wealth of Duke Cao is amazing. Just a guest room is even more magnificent than the old man's bedroom in the palace.

The walls are made from Guangdong. The vivid flower and bird painted wallpapers are made from outstanding painters, as well as inches of gold and hand-made embroidery from Suzhou. On the ground, there are Western Region carpets worth a thousand gold. They are barefoot on them, as if stepping on them in clouds.

The furniture in the house is the red sandalwood. The shape of the utensils is so large that the patterns are so exquisite that they are far larger. A huge stepping bed, the hollowed-out area is inlaid with white porcelain pieces...

No, at first glance it looks like porcelain pieces, but when you look closely, it turns out to be ivory as thin as a cicada's wings. It is carved with various talented men and beautiful women, and patterns representing beautiful meanings.

"What a fucking luxury! When Li Jinglong gets ready, he will definitely make a comeback!"

Mr. Xi sucked his teeth and paced in the room with his hands behind his back, and his eyes suddenly fell on the ancient shelf.

Then, he slowly picked up a vase.

"Wow! Hongwu Dynasty official kiln, blue and white branches and peony patterns jade pot spring..." Suddenly, Old Dao Xi felt that his head was not enough.

The official kilns of the Hongwu Dynasty inherited the Yuan blue and white porcelain, and combined the graceful and grandeur of the Tang Dynasty vessels on the basis of the Yuan blue and white porcelain. However, when the old man was in power, he always believed that it could not be eaten or drunk, which was a waste of money and money. Therefore, few fired.

Even if there is one, most of them are stored in the palace. And the nobles occasionally have something to gain, so how can they be placed in the guest room so casually?

"This is the most exquisite kiln of porcelain in the ten years of Hongwu!"

Suddenly, a voice came from behind Mr. Xi.

However, Li Qi came in quietly with a few servants, holding silk quilts.

"Tsk tsk, your family is so spacious!" Mr. Xi continued holding the vase.

"This kiln was to celebrate the ten years since Emperor Taizu Gao ascended the throne. At that time, twelve sets were burned, each set of forty-eight pieces." Li Qi smiled, "Originally, these twelve sets were rewarded to the vassal kings except for the Eastern Palace, and there was no such thing as the Duke and Marquis' family!"

As he said that, he smiled again, "My grandfather was with Emperor Xiaokang at that time, and Emperor Xiaokang made an exception and rewarded me with a trick!"

Mr. Xi put down the vase in his hand and pointed to the luxurious stepping bed, "Is this bed also a origin?"

"This is my grandmother's dowry!" Li Qi smiled and prepared the mattress with her own hands, and continued, "Actually, this room is my grandfather's bedroom!"

"How did this make it!" Old Taoist Xi bounced up his butt.

"I cannot repay my life-saving kindness!" Li Qi saluted solemnly, "Even if it is to lose all your money, I can't repay the great kindness of the Taoist priest!" He said, smiling, "From now on, I will consider the Taoist priest as my relative. If there is any order, no one dares not to obey!"

Mr. Xi looked at Li Qi and curled his lips, "Just open your mouth at you, you are your father's biological child!"

Li Qi was slightly embarrassed and smiled, "Master, it's getting late, so take a break!" As he said that, he turned slightly and revealed the servant behind him. "I have left a few people to serve you. What do you want, just give me the order!"

Speaking of this, he looked tense and said to the miser, "What the Taoist priest said is equivalent to what my mother and I said. Whoever dares to be careless and perfunctory will be beaten to death!"

Immediately, Li Qi saluted the old Taoist Xi solemnly and left gracefully.

And Old Dao Xi looked at the servants blankly...

The people in front of me were the pretty maids in Li Jinglong’s house just now.

The maids changed into new clothes and veil shawls, round and shimmering slightly...

The open palace collar has ups and downs...

"Guru!" Mr. Xi swallowed his saliva and said to himself, "I have to give Li Jinglong some medicine tomorrow so that he can get it later!"

"I'll serve the Taoist priest to change his clothes!" The leading maid spoke, her cheeks flushed like ripe peaches.

Walk slowly, leaving fragrance every step.

"Wait a minute! Why are you anxious to change your clothes?" said Mr. Xi, and suddenly grabbed the maid Rouyi and rubbed it carefully.

"Master!" The maid's voice was low and her face was like a burning cloud.

The girl's cheeks were so red that she was particularly charming. It was a white and red blush.

Then the blush gradually went down the ear...

"Come on, Master Dao shows you palmistry!"

~~

"Guanyin Bodhisattva blesses, if you believe that the female husband has survived this disaster, you will be willing to make a great wish and reshape the golden body for the gods and Buddhas!"

"Amitabha, as long as I am fair and safe, the Li family will do good deeds to help the poor and young..."

In the bedroom of the main hall of the back house, Deng, who never believed in Buddhism, guarded Li Jinglong, who was sleeping, and clasped his hands together and kept chanting Buddha's name.

Li Qi quietly appeared behind his mother. She was about to speak, but suddenly her eyes ceased.

Because he suddenly saw that some silver threads were mixed in the long hair behind his head when he was chanting Buddha's name.

"Mom is old!"

Bitterness arose in Li Qi's heart.

He looked at Li Jinglong, who had thin cheeks on the bed again, "Father is old too!"

"My grandfather passed away in his prime, and now his father...."

When Li Qi thought of this, she wet her eyes.

But before he knew it, his waist was particularly straight.

"When your grandfather left, your father was not much older than you, and he was exactly this age!"

Seeing his son's arrival, Deng did not look back, but wiped his eyes and whispered, "At that time, your father and I had just gotten engaged."

In an instant, Li Qi's heart tightened.

He remembered for no reason that his wife was already pregnant at home.

"At that time, everyone thought that the Li family was not going to work! After all, your father was young and had only guards' responsibilities, only titles and great property..." Deng said again, "I still remember that on the wedding night of your father and you kowtowed me to your grandfather's great-grandfather's tablet..."

As he said that, Deng burst into tears, "He said that his father and grandfather are above, and today he will get married and become an unfilial son. He will not let his father and grandfather be wise and shame for the rest of his life. My Li family... can't be defeated!"

Then, Mrs. Deng turned around and stared at Li Qi's eyes, "Son, you are about to be a father, your father... If you really have a few shortcomings, our Li family... you have to carry it!"

The fastest growth of a man is to face death.

A boy, when the sky above his head collapsed, and when the mountain behind him fell, he was left alone in the face of this cruel world.

This boy will become a man in an instant.

"You mom knows that sometimes you look down on your father and think he is too good at ease!" Deng said again, "I think he is far less heroic than your grandfather, but you have to understand that everything he does is for our mother and for our family!"

"Your father will regard face as much as anything else for his life, and regard the reputation of the Li family as his life!" Deng said again, "He is most afraid of it, that is, people look down on others. Have you remembered it?"

"Son remember!" Li Qi suddenly burst into tears and nodded, "Don't worry, mother, even..."

"Even if my father is really... my Li family will definitely be stronger than the next generation. It will never be looked down upon and will make people step on their feet!"

"Here's just like a man!" Deng wiped his eyes hard, "Tomorrow morning, you'll invite all your uncles!" As he said, Deng looked at Li Jinglong, who was still sleepy, with a little decisive face, "Although my Deng family is in ruins, my brothers are not easy to meet. Humph, who dares to have a quarrel with us at this time? You have to ask your uncle and the others' knife in their hands, do you agree?"

Suddenly, Li Qi looked out the window.

The lights in the side yard were still on, which was the courtyard where his concubines were staying.

I don’t know how many people care about the huge property of the Li family now! Especially at this moment, under this situation.

Why did his father get sick is because of his family's property. The emperor has just issued an order to not allow officials to do business. Then his uncles, who are illegitimate, will definitely make trouble.

After all, they are not officials!

"Hmph!" Li Qi also snorted, "Not only a few uncles, but also my son's brother-in-law are coming!"

His brother-in-law was naturally the royal family and vassal kings of the King of Jin.

Now that these vassal kings have no authority, they are all the descendants of Emperor Taizu Gao. Who dares to underestimate them?
