Li Wei was particularly interested in Hua Yue'er's three questions about heaven, earth, and people when assessing guests, and asked: "Didn't you say that when guests come, they ask three questions about heaven, earth, and people when they offer tea, wine, and food?
"Well, what are those three questions? Why didn't you ask me?" Hua Yue'er smiled and said, "For one thing, these three questions have been lost a long time ago. We have discussed them for a long time, but we can't think of any that can test your level."
The second problem is that even the clan leader recognizes your talents, so I will ignore this link. The focus is to examine your character and concentration."
Li Wei said: "It's a pity. I'm very curious about what kind of questions your ancestors would ask."
Hua Yue'er said: "It's a pity that the Lannuo people don't have their own writing, otherwise there might be records."
Li Wei said: "Is this the folklore project you developed? Is it a little too shocking?"
Hua Yue'er giggled and said: "This program is tailor-made for you. Don't even think about it if anyone else comes. I know you won't come if you know about it, so I tricked you into participating in the folk festival. How about it?
Exciting enough.”
Li Wei said: "Don't mention it, if you change the content appropriately, it can really become a good folklore program. Nowadays, people in the city like novelty, so you can do some articles in it."
Hua Yue'er said: "We will discuss these later. Our clan leader has invited us."
Li Wei followed Hua Yue'er to the ancestral temple of the Hua family. There was an old woman waiting there, who must be Hua Yue'er's grandmother and the patriarch Hua Sichen.
I heard from Hua Yue'er that this old woman is his grandmother. She is already eighty-nine years old this year, but she looks ruddy, has sharp eyes, and has pure white silky silver hair tied into a very elegant bun on the back of her head.
The beauty of the past is faintly visible.
"Hello, old man!" Li Wei stepped forward and said loudly.
The old man said displeasedly: "You don't have to speak so loudly, my ears are fine."
Li Wei said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, old man. I'm ninety years old. It's rare to be in such good health as you."
Hearing Li Wei say that she was in good health, the old woman immediately became happy and said, "Of course, the world is so good now, I still want to live for a few more decades."
Hua Yue'er said: "Grandma, let's go in."
The three of them walked into the ancestral temple. Directly in the north of the ancestral temple hung a portrait of a lady in palace attire. The silk pattern had turned yellow, showing its age. Various fruits, pasta and flowers were offered under the portrait.
The old woman knelt down devoutly in front of the portrait, kowtowed three times, and then placed a stick of incense.
Then Hua Yue'er and Li Wei also bowed in the same way, and the mother-in-law led them through the main hall and to the back hall.
There is a mountain stone statue in the apse, which is covered with dust. Due to the age, the surface is somewhat peeled off, but it is vaguely visible that the full sculpture is a beautiful woman.
Li Wei was admiring the stone statue, and he didn't know what mechanism his mother-in-law pressed on a pillar. A stone statue sitting in the middle of the hall slowly turned around, revealing a stone door about one and a half meters high behind it.
The mother-in-law led the two of them into the stone gate. Maybe this ancestral temple was built on the mountain. Inside was a hand-hewn stone chamber. It was very small, only 17 or 18 square meters.
There was nothing else in the room, except for a stone platform in the middle. There was a stone box on the stone platform with a thick layer of dust on it.
The mother-in-law said: "This is the second time I have walked into this stone room. The first time was more than fifty years ago, when I took over as the clan leader. I was only forty-three years old."
The mother-in-law carefully brushed off the dust on the stone box with her sleeves, and Li Wei discovered that the stone box was not an ordinary stone, but high-quality jade, with a faint green light.
The mother-in-law opened the jade box respectfully, and immediately a cool air filled the stone room. Li Wei was surprised. He looked up and saw that inside the jade box, on a dark yellow brocade mat, there was a marble-sized marble.
I don’t know what the texture of the small ball is, but there seems to be some substance flowing inside, and it is slightly glowing with green light. Is this the legendary orb that can identify loyalties and traitors?
The mother-in-law took out a pair of gloves from her arms and put them on. Then she carefully took out the orb from the jade box. She suddenly knelt down in front of Li Wei, held up the orb with both hands and said, "Hua Sichen, a descendant of Lannuo, by the order of our ancestors,
I offer you the exquisite jewel and ask Mr. Li to accept it."
Li Wei was startled, and hurriedly supported the old woman with both hands and said: "Old man, please get up quickly, don't do this."
The old lady couldn't kneel down and said again: "Hua Sichen, by the order of our ancestors, I offer you this exquisite jewel. Please accept it with your approval, Mr. Li."
Li Wei had no choice but to take the bead from her hand, and the old man stood up. He took out a small leather bag from the jade box with a thin belt made of gold wire. The mother-in-law said that you can usually put Linglong in the bag.
When worn as an accessory, it can strengthen the body and enhance one's mental strength.
Li Wei put the exquisite outfit into the skin bag and hid it close to his body. Then he followed the old man and Hua Yue'er out of the stone room and came to the main hall.
The old woman glanced at Li Wei, and suddenly smiled ambiguously: "We at Huajialou will present the ancestral treasure, what should Mr. Li leave behind?"
Li Wei was stunned and said: "Li Wei is favored by the Lannuo people and received treasures. Whatever Huajialou needs, Li Wei should do his best."
The old woman said: "Although the men in Huajialou received Mr. Li's medicine and gradually recovered, the Lannuo people are in a corner and the race has long been degraded. When you meet such an outstanding person as Mr. Li, you can't leave any trace of your blood. How can it be so?"
Isn’t it a pity?”
Damn it, it turns out that this old man doesn’t want anything else, but wants to keep his bloodline. If it’s something more valuable, even if he doesn’t have it, he can ask his friends to find it, but bloodline can be left at will.
ah.
Li Wei could only say apologetically: "Old man, everything else is easy to handle. This bloodline... I am a national cadre. I cannot do anything that violates discipline. Please forgive me."
The old woman said: "I have prepared a few women who will reveal their love for you. I know that you scholars are very emotional, and you are not willing to behave like a Duke of Zhou with people who have no feelings, so I discussed this with you privately...
, is there no one you like among the girls today? Emotions can also be cultivated."
Li Wei glanced at Hua Yue'er, frowned and said, "No, this really doesn't work."
The old woman also glanced at Hua Yue'er and said, "This matter will fall on you."
Hua Yue'er's face turned red and she said embarrassedly: "Grandma, what are you talking about? How can I do this?"
The old woman said in an unreasonable tone: "I don't care, anyway, if you can't do it, I will expel you from the Lannuo tribe and you will never come back."
After the old woman finished speaking, she walked out of the hall without looking back, leaving Li Wei and Hua Yue'er looking at each other.
After a long time, Hua Yue'er said: "Secretary Li, what do you think we should do about this matter?"
Li Wei said angrily: "What should we do? Don't do it! At worst, I will return that exquisite thing to you. Please find someone wiser."
Seeing that Li Wei was anxious, Hua Yue'er said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't be angry. It's getting late and you haven't eaten dinner. Let's go to my house and prepare something delicious for you."
Li Wei followed Hua Yue'er to her house. Her man didn't come back, and her daughter also went to her grandmother's house. There were only two people in the house. The kitchen of Hua Yue'er's house is now different from what it used to be. It only took half an hour.
Just make four dishes.
Hua Yue'er's cooking skills are really good, and the dishes she makes are full of flavor and flavor, and Li Wei praises them repeatedly.
After dinner, Hua Yue'er said: "It's so late, so don't go back tonight and stay at my house."
Li Wei said that there were still things to do in the development zone and insisted on leaving. Hua Yue'er said sadly: "I know that people like Secretary Li will not stay in the development zone for long. Maybe this is the last time we meet. Could it be,
Don’t you want me to keep you in mind?”
Li Wei was a very soft-hearted man. Seeing the woman acting like this, he couldn't bear to leave. He sighed and said, "Okay, I'll stay one night."
When Hua Yue'er heard that Li Wei was willing to stay, she immediately smiled and said, "I'll run the water and you wash it well. Your body must be full of bacteria if those slutty women touch it."
Seeing the woman running into the bathroom in a hurry, Li Wei shook his head helplessly.
Hua Yue'er was particularly gentle tonight. After putting in the water, she helped Li Wei take off his clothes and let him lie still in the bathtub. She scrubbed his body clean inch by inch, and then washed Li Wei.
Out of anger, he dragged her into the bathtub and wanted to get on the horse, but Hua Yue'er refused at all, like coaxing a child, saying: "Be good, just bear with me for a while, let's do it well in bed."
She wiped Li Wei's body dry and followed Li Wei to the big bed.
Tonight, Hua Yue'er behaved very abnormally in bed. He lay quietly on his back and let Li Wei move on top, looking pious and sacred. At the last moment, Li Wei thought about it, and Hua Yue'er was dead.
Hug her and won't let her go.
Li Wei suddenly understood why Hua Yue'er was acting so abnormally today. She was performing a "revelation ceremony".
On the hillside above Hua Yue'er's house, the old woman holding a cane saw the light at Hua Yue'er's house turned on for a while and then finally went out. She smiled slyly, like an old fox who had stolen a chicken.
.
What Li Wei didn't know was that after this night, Hua Yue'er was indeed pregnant. In fact, the Lannuo people also have a special day for welcoming guests. This day is generally chosen during the most dangerous period for most women, so pregnancy
The probability is very high.
Ten months later, Hua Yue'er successfully gave birth to a baby girl, named Hua Huo. Fire was naturally taken from the half of Li Wei's "Wei" son. The girl had been extremely intelligent since she was a child and was loved by the tribe, but they knew that she was
The only people of Li Wei's bloodline are Hua Yue'er and the old woman.
Early the next morning, Li Wei said goodbye to Hua Yue'er and drove back to the development zone. Just after reading a few documents, Chai Li came in and said, "Just now, the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee called and asked you to go to Hecheng today."
Li Wei felt a little surprised. Since the mayor of Tangshan took office, he has wanted to visit Hecheng many times. This is an official rule, but there have been a lot of things in the development zone recently, so he has been delayed.
Today, the Organization Department of the Municipal Party Committee suddenly called me and asked me to go to Hecheng. I wonder what happened?
