The sun was setting slantingly, dusk was gradually setting, and the Li family mansion was now bustling with activity.
A fourth child, whom the master had always talked about, finally appeared at the door. For a while, servants and maids all over the courtyard were vying to help, taking the opportunity to see what kind of person he was, who could be treated so kindly by the master.
There were also servants who came back after watching it and told it in front of others with great dignity.
"The gentleman inside, Uncle Liu and I have met before. He is really capable."
"...That night in the ruined temple, Uncle Liu and I were really living in hell, thinking that we were going to hand over our lives there, but in the end, Mr. Chen came in from outside, and Uncle Liu and I were saved..."
When he came back, the younger servant couldn't keep his mouth shut and told what happened that day, but no one believed it. This time he finally saw the gentleman in the temple again. He was very proud and proud to see everyone.
The expression on his face was stunned, not to mention how happy he felt.
It would be better if I could take Mr. Chen as my teacher and learn some skills.
Then, he was slapped on the head by the steward who came over, "What are you all doing here? Go and help quickly. The kitchen knife in the kitchen is about to cut and smoke, and you are still chatting here!"
Everyone dispersed in a hurry, and the steward hummed, rolled up his sleeves, and hurried to the living room in the front yard, shouting as he walked, instructing the servants and maids passing by to be careful and cautious, because there were distinguished guests inside.
All the way to the main hall, the family banquet has been served, and my husband is sitting at the head of the table. He is drinking wine with the distinguished guest. There is also his wife drinking with him, which shows how noble he is.
The steward thought about it and stood aside, urging the maids to pour wine and help pick up the dishes.
During the banquet, the two were of the same generation, but they looked like one old and the other young. Chen Yuan smiled and touched the wine glass with San'er, took a sip, and continued chatting about the past few years. Knowing that Master Zhao handed over the troupe to
For him, relying on the troupe, he slowly grew up in scale here, and after making money, he purchased a lot of properties.

However, San'er has not forgotten his roots. He has never disliked the wife of his senior brother Liang Kuai, who is now his wife. Even the children he brought with him are regarded as his own. The couple wanted to support each other until they are now at this age.
Happily ever after.
After that, when they talked about the original Liu family, Li San sighed. Speaking of that family, Mr. Liu died after leaving only one heir. Old lady Liu left here with her only grandson and later raised the child.
, and died.
"Fourth brother, don't leave when you come back. Once you leave, it will be more than 20 years. If you leave again, I'm afraid I won't be able to see you again."
Chen Yuan didn't answer and took a bite of food in silence. Once he stepped into practice, it would be difficult to stay where he was. Not to mention that time and space were reversed. He had to go to the north to get back the belongings from Zhenjun Temple. Qingxu and others
People still need to consult. My cultivation level is obviously Yuanying, but I can only use the magic power of the golden elixir realm. I have to find the reason for all this.
Over there, Li San sighed when he saw Chen Yuan was silent, and then laughed: "You cultivators, how can I, an ordinary person, know that? Fourth brother, don't pay attention to what the senior brother said. If you say something wrong, the senior brother will punish you with a drink first."
.”
After saying that, he drank the wine in one breath, prompting the old wife beside him to quickly bring him a cup of tea and whispered: "Drink less, you are not in good health."
"It doesn't matter, the fourth child is back and I am happy for my husband."
San'er put down the cup, and his wrist was suddenly held down by Chen Yuan. When he raised his eyes, Chen Yuan smiled and told him not to move, and touched his pulse a few times with his finger and middle finger.
Li San, who was confused, suddenly felt a wave of heat spread from his wrists quickly throughout his body. Before he could recover, his whole body felt as hot as boiled shrimps. His face was red, and he was secreting a lot of sweat and a layer of oil.
Chen Yuan took back her hand and smiled under the horrified eyes of the woman and Li San.
"Brother, go take a bath, your whole body stinks."
"Hey!" Li San's hands and feet were a little weak, and he quickly got up and asked the steward to prepare hot water for him. The latter was also horrified, and helped the master out of the side door, enduring the stench, and rushed away all the way.
backyard.
In the hall, the woman stood at the door with some worry. Chen Yuan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law, don't worry, it's just to remove the dirt accumulated in the body of senior brother over the years. Although it cannot prolong life, it can make the body strong and the internal organs clean."
After hearing this, the woman finally felt relieved, sat back on her seat, raised her wine glass and offered a toast: "Fourth brother, I will toast you a glass on behalf of your senior brother!"
After touching it lightly, the woman was also bold and drank all the sake in the cup in one gulp, making Sun Zhengde, who was enjoying a meal with his apprentice opposite, wave and applaud.
Not long after, Li San came back from washing up. The redness on his face had faded, and he felt indescribably comfortable all over his body. The previous decadence was gone. He sat back in high spirits, toasted and expressed his thanks.
"By the way, senior brother." Chen Yuan put down the wine glass and picked up a snack, "When you came here, you heard that there was something evil going on in the theater?"
"Well." I didn't want to mention it today, so as not to ruin the atmosphere of the reunion of the senior brothers, but when Chen Yuan asked, Li San had no choice but to answer. He put down Kuaizi, stroked his beard and sighed: "A few months ago
There was nothing wrong with what happened in the past, but suddenly something sneaky appeared. For several days, there were either gusts of wind or ghosts. There were still ghosts crying at night, and many guests saw the ghosts with their own eyes and sat next to him.
We watched a play together, and the theater guard even saw a ghost singing on the stage in the middle of the night..."
He told Chen Yuan everything about the strange things that happened during these days. After he finished speaking, he put the wine in his hands and took a sip.
"Fourth brother, you don't know how senior brother spends these days. We have invited eminent monks outside the city, and we have also invited capable people in the city, but it's no use. When you came here today, the shopkeeper of the silk shop happened to invite
An expert came here and claimed to be a disciple of Canglan Mountain. He thought to himself that he might as well give it a try, but if it didn't work out, you rushed to this stall and came back."
"Canglan Mountain?"
Chen Yuan frowned slightly. He had seen the young man when he entered the door, and the young man actually deliberately used the scabbard to test him. With such a temperament, Canglan Sword Sect still hasn't changed over the years?
Or could it be said that that person was just using the name of Canglan Sword Sect to deceive others?
He looked at the fat Taoist over there. Sun Zhengde put down the sauced pig's trotters and said, "Master, look at what I did. That was in the past, but now I get rid of ghosts whenever I encounter them."
"Master, were you like this before?" The little Taoist boy raised his face and answered with a greasy face. The fat Taoist slapped his head on his head and pushed his little head down. "Eat your food well, sir."
Talk, why should a child interrupt?"
"Senior brother." At this time, after Chen Yuan was silent, he spoke: "There is something you may not like to hear."
"Whatever you want to say, Fourth Brother, just say it. Don't say anything unpleasant. Just scold me. It's up to you."
"The shopkeeper of your silk shop has a problem with the disciples of Canglan Sword Sect."
Li San looked at his old wife beside him and quickly asked Chen Yuan, "Why do you see her?"
"I've been to the theater, and there's nothing sinister in it."
Chen Yuan tapped her fingertips on the table, looked at the horrified couple, and suddenly laughed.
"However, let's exorcise evil spirits as usual. I think the ghost will definitely come out."
