Of course, Li Yi was not the only one who felt relaxed. When they reached the city gate, the eleven guards quickly dismounted and ran back and forth for half a month before finally returning to the capital.
Liu Ruyi jumped off the carriage and looked at the most prosperous and prosperous city in Jingguo - there were many pedestrians outside the city gate, and there was an endless stream of carriages and horses. It was far from comparable to Qing'an Prefecture. Is this Kyoto?
Behind her, the guards looked at her with awe. Along the way, no one dared to treat her as a "weak woman". The young master indeed had foresight in bringing such a woman along with him.
Just when they faced dozens of bandits as if they were facing a formidable enemy, they saw swords flashing randomly and a white shadow moving among the group of bandits. Within a moment, all the bandits could only lie on the ground and howl.
A powerful person can always be respected by others. Even if she is a woman, these arrogant guards are willing to lower their heads.
The old man surnamed Li ordered: "Li Zheng, send two people back to the house first to inform them of the young master's return."
After a while, two people handed over their horses to their companions and galloped into the city. Horses were not allowed to gallop in the city, and those who ran would go much faster.
"Master, let's go." The old man surnamed Li said with a smile.
Li Yi nodded and got on the carriage again. The carriage started slowly. Through the gap, he saw the receding bluestone slabs under his feet. He felt extremely calm.
As he continued to approach the capital, the strange feeling in his heart was gradually fading away. He was afraid that it would completely dissipate soon, which also made Li Yi feel that this trip was not in vain after all.
Along the way, Uncle Li had told him everything about the current situation of the Li family.
The old man of the Li family established meritorious service at the founding of the People's Republic of China. He was granted the title of county magistrate and created the most primitive foundation for the Li family. The Li family was quite prominent in the capital a few decades ago. However, with the death of the old man, the Li family
The descendants of the family did not establish enough meritorious service to maintain the title, and the title was reduced from generation to generation. Until the death of the master, the Li family gradually declined, and now it is about to be kicked out of the ranks of nobles.
Li Yi's father, as the eldest son in the direct line, was supposed to inherit the Li family's business. However, he gave up everything for a woman and left his hometown. After the death of the previous head of the family, the person who took over the title could only be the second son in the direct line, and the title became
The county son, of course, in addition to his title, he also has an official position in the court, and is now the backbone of the Li family.
The carriage slowly drove into the city gate. The bluestone-paved street was more than twice the size of the main street of Qing'an Mansion. Even so, the street was still a little crowded, with pedestrians and horses flowing continuously. The carriage drove for about a quarter of an hour.
, the number of pedestrians on the road gradually decreased, and the houses on both sides of the street became more and more grand. Uncle Li excitedly shouted "Here we go", the carriage stopped, and Li Yi and Liu Ruyi got off the carriage.
"Master, the old lady and the others are already waiting in the inner hall. Come over quickly." A large group of maids and servants gathered at the door of a tall house. The guard who had left earlier walked out of the crowd and said.
Uncle Li came over and said, "Master, follow me. Let's go to see the old lady first."
Li Yi was a junior, so it was naturally impossible for his elders to greet him at the door. He walked into the Li family's door amidst the doubtful and curious eyes of the servants.
Although the Li family has declined, the house is still grand. Li Yi didn't know how many long corridors he walked through and how many moon gates he passed before he came to a spacious hall.
Before they could enter the hall, a trembling figure walked out of the house with a cane.
"My poor child!"
The old woman with wrinkles on her face and gray hair shook off the maid's support, wandered up to Li Yi, held his hand, and burst into tears.
This sudden scene made Li Yi a little at a loss. He could only let the old woman hold him. Seeing her crying with joy, Li Yi sighed lightly and said with difficulty, "Grandma,
I'm back……"
The old woman's unabashed feelings reminded Li Yi of the old man in another world far away, and he couldn't help but be deeply touched in his heart.
"It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back." The old man wiped away the tears on his face with his sleeves, looked at Li Yi up and down, and murmured: "It can't be wrong, it can't be wrong, he and Minghan are exactly the same.
The one who came out is the child of my Li family..."
As if thinking of sad things, the old man's mood began to become depressed again, "My poor Minghan child..."
In Li Yi's memory, he had never seen the father of the original owner of the body mention family matters, but every year on the Double Ninth Festival, after he was drunk, he saw him crying and saying "Mom, the child is unfilial..." more than once.
Words like "I'm sorry for you, my child" show that the old lady's position in his heart is extremely important.
Along the way, I also learned from Uncle Li that the old lady loved her eldest son the most. In the past twenty years, she often cried late at night, became sick with worry, and was in poor health.
Suddenly, the old lady seemed to have discovered something. She suddenly looked at Liu Ruyi who was standing next to Li Yi. After her eyes lit up, she let go of Li Yi, hurriedly walked over, held her hand and said, "This is me.
My grandson-in-law? She is really handsome. My grandson has good taste. Come, let grandma take a good look at her."
Hearing the old lady's "granddaughter-in-law", the guard named Li Zheng's face changed wildly. A few days ago, he was grabbed by the collar and thrown out of the yard by the heroine because of the "second lady", and now his butt is
She was still in pain. If the old lady was thrown out, she would be dead!
However, the scene he was worried about did not appear. The old lady took Liu Ruyi's hand. The more she looked at it, the more satisfied she became. The wrinkles on her face relaxed. She took off a bracelet from her wrist and said, "This is the first time I've seen you."
Granddaughter-in-law, I have nothing to give you. If you hold this bracelet, you will become our Li family from now on!"
Miss Liu Er, who had always been fearless and could poke a hole in the sky when she was angry, seemed a little at a loss and looked at Li Yi for help.
Li Yi could only walk over and explain: "Grandma, my wife is not feeling well and can't bear the fatigue of traveling. She didn't come with us this time. This is my grandson's wife and sister."
"Sisters are as close as one family. They are all the same." The old lady seemed not to have heard Li Yi's words, and put the bracelet on Liu Ruyi's wrist with a smile.
"No matter what you call it, it's the same..." Li Yi stood there blankly, speechless for a moment.
Uncle Li, who was standing aside, watched the old lady put the bracelet on the wrist of the second lady of the madam's family. His eyes widened and his face was full of disbelief.
This bracelet was put on by the old lady herself when she married the old lady. It had always been passed down only to the eldest wife of the Li family. The second lady had been begging for it for decades but the old lady had not given it to her. Could it be that she was temporarily happy at this moment?
