By the way, Xiao Taohong was stopped by several children from aristocratic families. What she never expected was that these people did not tease her, but were vying to help her carry the basket. This made Xiao Taohong feel extremely surprised.
"Sister Taohong, we did something wrong in the past. You have a lot of trouble. Please forgive us once and let us do something for you, otherwise we will be suspicious."
"Yes, yes. In the past, we were forced by the Chen family's influence and did not dare to make friends with Master Li. But now it's better. We can make friends with you openly."
"I heard that Master Li is a genius. Not only is he perfect in martial arts, but he is also very proficient in other things. I heard that the vegetable shed built by Master Li has a large area of fresh vegetables planted in it. Throughout the whole winter, you are the only one in Jianhe Villa who has fresh vegetables."
We eat vegetables. The whole town eats radishes and cabbages stored in cellars. I don’t know how many people would envy them."
"That's right! Nowadays, whoever dares to call our Master Li a waste, we will not let him go."
"What happened to these people? What happened?" Xiao Taohong thought. She was coaxed into confusion by the children of these aristocratic families. Only after they left did she realize clearly and said to herself, "Usually these people
It's not like this. I was teased to death by them, and they kept mocking the young master for being an abandoned young man. The sun rises from the west today?"
After the children of these aristocratic families said goodbye to Xiao Taohong, they were still talking about it. Xiao Taohong still felt curious, so she stayed where she was and listened for a while.
"I didn't expect that Li Xiaoman really hid it so deeply."
"Yes, he was able to defeat the entire Chen family. He turns out to be a master who has hidden everything!"
"I think this kid must have been taught the skills by an expert to become so powerful. Did you go to see the battle yesterday?" a little man asked.
"No. Tell us, is it intense?"
"Of course. At the foot of Qingcheng Mountain, that kid just hit him with a strike. Hey, guess what? Those star warriors of the Chen family didn't dare to take the strike at all. The three heroes of the Chen family were all seriously injured."
"He's really good at pretending. Fortunately, we haven't done anything outrageous to him before. It seems we'd better be careful in the future."
"You're right."
"I also heard that he let go of the Heavenly Star Warrior, but I don't know if that's true?"
"It's true, I saw it with my own eyes." The little man replied.
"Then isn't he a bit stupid?"
"I don't dare to draw conclusions about this prematurely, but I did see it with my own eyes, and..."
...Hearing their conversation, Xiao Taohong still couldn't believe her ears.
On the way back, Xiao Taohong discovered that Qingcheng Town seemed to have changed overnight.
People they met on the street, whether they knew them or not, all greeted Xiao Taohong one after another. The sarcastic remarks about her in the past were replaced by flattery. Some of the words made Xiao Taohong get goosebumps after hearing them;
Those who sneered now turned into awe, and their attitude also made a 180-degree turn, from obscenity to respect.
By the time she returned to the villa, her whole body was almost drowned in the sound of flattery.
"Master, I'm back. Today..." Xiao Taohong was just about to tell Li Xiaoman about the strange things that happened on the road. When she came in, she saw many people sitting in the hall: from the Shen family, from the Sun family... all
They belong to several aristocratic families with certain status in Qingcheng Town. Everyone is carrying gifts and smiling, and the young master is talking happily with them.
"Sister Taohong, are you back?" A maid saw Xiao Taohong coming back and quickly came over to help her carry the vegetable basket.
"Xiaohua, what happened to the village?" Xiao Taohong asked.
"I don't know either. Many people came here early this morning, all visiting the young master. It seems that the young master did something very big yesterday."
"Xiao Taohong, you're back just in time. Quickly ask the kitchen to prepare some tables of good wine and food. I want to entertain these friends." When Li Xiaoman saw Xiao Taohong coming back, he stopped talking and walked out.
"Master Li, you don't have to be so polite. Being polite will show off."
"Why do you have the nerve to let Master Li spend money?"
A few people looked a little embarrassed on the surface, but in fact their stomachs were already growling, and they wished they could have a big meal early.
Half an hour later, several tables of delicious dishes were finally ready.
The hall of Jianhe Villa is extremely luxurious: the floor is covered with a thick carpet inlaid with gold threads, the beams are hung with exquisitely painted palace lanterns and decorated with bright red silk flowers; it is surrounded by six pairs of tall copper pillars.
Next to the copper pillars, there are carved silver candlesticks that are as tall as one person. The sky is not dark yet, but candles as thick as arms have been lit on them early. The candles are mixed with spices, and the fragrance is full of fragrance when burning.

Just looking at it makes people drool.
As expected of a member of the British Royal Palace, he has seen the world and even cooks the dishes so well, palace dishes.
"Look, I've never seen this blue and white porcelain bowl. Have you seen it?"
"Never seen it before. What a bowl." Everyone quickly echoed.
"I really admire you very much. I will be able to enjoy the royal banquet in my lifetime and die without regrets."
"Don't be polite, let's eat together. Wang Wu asked the brothers to go to the kitchen to eat first. Xiao Taohong, please hurry up and greet the guests." Li Xiaoman shouted.
"Yes." Li Xiaoman treated them like family members without any complaints. He quickly stepped forward to help the guests pour wine and serve rice.
At first, everyone was very careful to maintain their own image, but later they saw that the food became more and more flavorful, and they couldn’t care less about it, so they started gobbling it up. In the words of Mr. Sun, the three meals a day in the British Palace are the same as those of other aristocratic families.
Incomparable.
Eating this fresh meat, vegetables, fish and shrimp in the middle of winter is not something that can be solved with money.
In fact, Li Xiaoman knew very well that these people came to please him deliberately because of his defeat of the Chen family, so that he could forget his previous unpleasantness. They also knew that their sons or servants had ridiculed Li Xiaoman,
This is more or less an expression of apology.
Therefore, Li Xiaoman stayed them for dinner to relieve their inner guilt.
When the maids on the side heard their conversation, they roughly understood why these prominent people in Qingcheng Town had a 180-degree change in their attitude towards the young master. It turned out that the young master defeated the first family by himself.
The Chen family.
They were all proud of the young master, and the smiles on their faces were sweeter than eating honey. In fact, they were very pure at heart. No matter what dangers there were in the world, they would be happy as long as the young master was respected.
But the first bodyguard Wang Wu, a man who has reached the fifth level of Qi and has just entered the sixth level of Qi recently, is very surprised: an abandoned young man can defeat almost all the human star warriors of the Chen family. There can't be any conspiracy, right?
If he hadn't known how these people had treated Li Xiaoman before, he would have really thought that this was some kind of conspiracy by Li Xiaoman.
Seeing his young master's radiant face, Wang Wu couldn't help but feel happy, secretly glad that he was not with the wrong person.
"Master Li, you have to be careful with the Chen family these days." Mr. Liu said in a low voice.
"I don't think they look like villains." Li Xiaoman smiled.
"They definitely don't dare to kill Mr. Li in broad daylight, for fear that they will play tricks on you. I heard that Mr. Chen of the Chen family has been released from prison." They took advantage of others and spoke out their true feelings one after another.
idea.
Li Xiaoman didn't understand what they meant, but he didn't know what to do. He just wanted to trick them.
"As far as I know, Mr. Chen should have gone out to hunt down the Tianxing warriors this time." Li Xiaoman picked up several pieces of beef and ate it with relish.
"Do you think the Heavenly Star Warriors are so easy to deal with? Mr. Chen has been practicing indoors these years, leaving everything in the house to his three sons. This time, even the three heroes of the Chen family couldn't solve it, so they insisted on asking Chen
The master came out of seclusion, I think they are desperate." The master of the Shen family helped Li Xiaoman analyze it, and expressed his disapproval of Li Xiaoman's contempt for the Chen family.
"Many aristocratic families in Qingcheng Town learned that there were Heavenly Star warriors entering Qingcheng Town's jurisdiction, but only a few dared to chase and kill them." Another person said.
"Do you think the Chen family is confident of winning?" Li Xiaoman put down his wine glass and asked casually.
"I think I'm very confident." Mr. Sun concluded immediately, "Mr. Chen is the highest practitioner in Qingcheng Town. He became a Heavenly Star Warrior a few years ago, but he doesn't want this title and still retains the title of Human Star Warrior; in his early years, he
He was also Gaozu's personal bodyguard. It is said that Emperor Taizong wanted him to protect him, but he refused and insisted on resigning and returning home. So it was not a problem for him to kill the injured Tianxing warrior, which is why other families did not take this trouble.
One, and another reason is who dares to go against the Chen family and steal their business?" (To be continued)
