Chapter 59: See Auntie

In addition to the bright lights in the hall in front of him, the surroundings were very dark, and only some ups and downs could be seen from the night sky, which made Li Zhang guess that he should be in a huge building complex, and the hall in front of him was just one of them.

"My master invites Lu Bantou!" At this moment, a beautiful maid suddenly walked out of the hall with a lantern and came to Lu Wu and said softly.

When Lu Wu heard this, he agreed and took Li Zhang and his son to enter the hall, but he did not expect that the maid stopped Li Zhang and his son and said, "My master said that I only asked Lu Bantou to go in first. As for the two of you, just wait outside for a while!"

"Let me only go in?" Lu Wu couldn't help frowning when he heard this. He originally planned to let Li Zhang go in and look at his own eyes, but he didn't expect that the other party would separate them. Now all his original plans were useless.

"Please, Boss Lu!" The maid didn't say anything else, but directly invited Lu Wu into the hall, which made him helplessly look at Li Zhang and his son, and then told them not to run around here, and then stepped into the hall.

Lu Wu left, and there were only Li Zhang and his son who were left outside the gate of the palace. There was also darkness around him, and there was not even a ghost. However, Li Zhang was sure that such a big palace and the other party was so mysterious, there must be many people protecting him around. It would be fine if they didn't break in, but if they broke in, they would definitely be stopped.

However, Li Zhang was a little strange at this time. When he was in the car just now, he guessed what the mysterious woman had to do with Li Yong, but now the other party actually called Lu Wu in alone. Could it be that he was wrong? This woman was actually related to Lu Wu, but why did he call their father and son?

The more Li Zhang thought about it, the more puzzled he became. Time passed by little. Lu Wu had been in for half an hour. Li Zhang and the others could only wait outside. The most important thing was that he and Li Yonghe really had nothing to say. Moreover, since Li Yonghe got off the car, he had been sitting on the steps with his knees in his arms, his eyes were dull and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Li Zhang was forced out of the house by Lu Wu. At that time, he didn't even have time to eat dinner. He didn't feel it in the carriage just now, but after waiting for so long, Li Zhang also felt like he was playing drums in his stomach, which made him feel the pain of hunger again. The hard days when he first traveled through time suddenly came to his heart. Thinking about the days when he couldn't even eat wild vegetables, and thinking about the days when he didn't have to worry about food and clothing every day, Li Zhang couldn't help but feel a little accomplished.

But at this moment, Lu Wu finally walked out of the hall. However, Li Zhang found that his face was not very good and his eyes were a little red, as if he had just cried, which surprised Li Zhang. He had known Lu Wu for so long, and he always felt that the other party was a man of iron. Even if he was cut by someone, he would not frown. Such a person would cry?

"Boy, go in. Remember what I said, don't talk nonsense!" Lu Wu walked to Li Zhang at this time and said in a low voice.

"Just myself?" Li Zhang also looked at Li Yonghe next to him in surprise when he heard this.

"No, you are the only one!" Lu Wu nodded.

"Please, Mr. Li!" At this moment, the maid who led Lu Wu in just now came over to Li Zhang and said, which made Li Zhang unable to follow the other party into the hall in confusion.

This hall looks grand from the outside, and when you enter it, it is even more magnificent and gorgeous. Carved beams and painted buildings can be seen everywhere. Especially under the illumination of candles, this hall looks like the legendary heavenly palace, which makes Li Zhang feel a bit like the real and illusion.

There was a maid in front of him, and Li Zhang followed her to the deepest part of the hall. He saw a bright giant candle lit here, which was extremely bright under the reflection of the copper basin. There were two rows of maids standing on both sides, but there was a translucent screen in front of the main seat facing him, so that Li Zhang could only see a woman sitting there upright, but could not see the other person's appearance clearly.

Li Zhang was led to the screen, and the maid stood aside, without saying anything to let Li Zhang do. Moreover, the woman behind the screen was silent, which made Li Zhang feel at a loss. In the end, she could only salute to the other party according to the etiquette: "Boy Li Zhang... pay a visit to him..."

However, when Li Zhang was saluting, he suddenly realized that he didn't know what to call him. In Li Zhang's guess, the other party should be with Lu Wu and Li Yong and his fellow generations, so he must be his elders. However, after he came to the Song Dynasty, among the women who could be called elders, there was only Zhou's honest wife, the sister-in-law of the Zhou family. However, judging from the other party's attitude, it would definitely not be possible to call his sister-in-law.

In the end, Li Zhang held it in for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and saluted: "Li Zhang greets aunt!"

As soon as Li Zhang's "aunt" came out, the woman behind the screen immediately burst out laughing, and even through the screen, she could see her covering her mouth and bent over, which made Li Zhang blush. There was no way. He thought of a solution but couldn't come up with a suitable title. In the end, he had to bring the common title in later generations to use.

The woman behind the screen took a long time, then sat up straight and spoke, "Your name is interesting. I have only heard of my father and mother, and this is the first time I have heard of my aunt's name."

Although the woman's voice sounded very nice, Li Zhang also clearly heard that the other party was probably not young, which made him even more sure of his guess, so he bowed and bowed again and said, "I was young and ignorant, and I had never read any books. I really didn't know what to call my aunt, so I would like to forgive me!"

"You are only twelve years old this year, and you still have time to study in the future. Speaking of which, my son is ten years old this year, but he is about the same age as you." The "aunt" behind the screen spoke again. When he said this, the other party paused for a moment and then ordered the maid beside him, "Even if it is a child, there is no need to ask for this screen anymore. Remove it!"

"Yes!" As the other party's orders, the maids on both sides agreed, and then stepped forward and carried the screen away. Only then did Li Zhang see the true face of this "aunt".

The woman behind the screen was wearing a plain long skirt, with delicate facial features like a full moon, and she turned out to be a very beautiful woman. Her phoenix eyes were not angry and could not be afraid to look at her. From the outside, she looked at her at most thirties or forties, but Li Zhang always felt that the other person's actual age should be older than she looked, because the vicissitudes she showed in her eyes were more like an elder who had experienced prosperity.

"Swish~, you kid are brave. Don't you know it's impolite to keep staring at others?" At this moment, the beautiful woman suddenly smiled under Li Zhang's gaze. Although she is not young, when this smile appears, people still ignore her age. From this we can see that she must have been a beautiful beauty who is charming when she was young.

"Auntie, boy... he is rude!" Li Zhang immediately admitted his mistake. He was mainly too curious about this mysterious woman, so he couldn't help but look at it for a while.

"Hehe, the name of aunt is still a bit strange. My surname is Liu, so you call me Mrs. Liu!" The woman smiled again. For some reason, maybe because Li Zhang's behavior was a little stupid, that made her laugh frequently. You know, she rarely laughed once a day.

"Li Zhang greets Mrs. Liu!" Li Zhang immediately said again. The title of wife is indeed much better than that of his aunt.

"No need to be polite. Xiaowu and I haven't seen each other for many years, so if you have said too long, you have been waiting outside for a long time. I guess you are hungry, so why don't we just eat and chat?" Mrs. Liu said with a smile again. After saying that, she asked the maid to deliver the meal without waiting for Li Zhang's answer.

"Xiao Wu?" Li Zhang was stunned when he heard the other party's name of Lu Wu, but this also confirmed his speculation. On the surface, Mrs. Liu was much younger than Lu Wu, but from this name, she should be older than Lu Wu, while Lu Wu is nearly fifty years old.

In addition, Li Zhang also discovered that Mrs. Liu should be a very strong woman. At this time, the maid also served the meal. Li Zhang was invited to the long desk beside him and sat down. The food was very rich. Li Zhang had never even seen most of it before. He was already hungry, so he was not polite at this time. He picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

Mrs. Liu stopped after taking a few bites, and then watched Li Zhang swallow voraciously. When Li Zhang had almost finished eating, she smiled and said, "Young people have a good appetite. I really should let my son see how you eat. Maybe he can eat more because of this, so as not to grow up!"

"My wife laughed. I was pulled by Uncle Wu before I had dinner. I was hungry just now. When I was hungry, I didn't care about eating anymore!" Li Zhang apologized again, but he was still full of curiosity at this time, because since he came in, the other party had not talked about the main topic, and Li Zhang didn't know why the other party wanted to see him?

"It's really not good to be hungry. I was hungry a lot when I was a child. My biggest hope at that time was to have a full meal!" Li Zhang's words seemed to touch Mrs. Liu, and he said with some emotion again.

Li Zhang couldn't help but feel curious at this time, and then asked directly: "Madam Liu, I wonder if you asked the boy to come today?"
