New Year's Eve has arrived as scheduled.
Throughout Yuzhou City, the sound of firecrackers continued to sound, making it very lively.
In the blacksmith shop, Old Man Wu was half-lying on a chair on the ground, drinking the wine sent by the Li family, feeling very uncomfortable.
It was the Chinese New Year, and the blacksmith shop was no longer open for business. Helping Li Ziye repair the Chunjun sword was considered the last business of the year.
It's just a reward of one hundred thousand taels, a loss of blood.
If it weren't for the sake of the neighbors and folks, Old Man Wu would really want him to have one million taels.
"Master, did you lose a lot?"
On the side, Wen Ruyu checked the account book and asked in confusion.
"certainly."
On the chair, Old Man Wu opened his eyes and said with some pain, "That is a treasure that I have treasured for many years. If I didn't see such a good sword being ruined like this, I would not take advantage of the Li family." Boy."
"No wonder Third Young Master, such a stingy person, would pay so happily this time."
Wen Ruyu grinned and replied, "Master, there is no need to feel bad. Anyway, the Third Young Master will ask us to forge a sword. When the time comes, just add the money we lost this time to it."
"Yes, your words reminded me."
Old Man Wu sat up straight and said, "Don't you want to make another sword? By then, you will definitely get back double the money you lost this time."
My flesh hurts!
At the same time, in the backyard of Li Mansion.
Li Ziye and Taotao were playing chess, surrounded by a crowd of people watching.
Taotao's chess skills were taught by Li Ziye. Although she was not a master of chess, her level was still pretty good.
"Go here."
When it was Taotao's turn to make a move, Li Hongyi stretched out her finger and pointed at the middle of the chessboard, and said with an expert look on her face.
"Hands away!"
Taotao narrowed her eyes slightly and said calmly.
Li Hongyi paused and silently retracted her hand.
"In red, you are a true gentleman watching the chess game without saying a word."
On the side, Hongzhu continued to hold her fruit bowl and said while eating, "Besides, your level is not even better than mine, so don't give me random instructions."
This guy in Hongyi is a typical person who still likes to have fun.
Every time I play chess, I lose all my monthly money, and I have to rely on Taotao for relief in the last few days.
When Li Hongyi heard Hongzhu's taunt, she didn't dare to speak back and continued to watch silently.
In front of the study, Li Qingzhi walked past and saw a large number of people surrounding the lake, with an undetectable smile on his lips.
"Qingzhi, why don't you join them to have some fun?"
In the study, Li Youwei, who was checking the accounts, raised her head and asked.
"Let them play."
Li Qingzhi suppressed the smile on his lips and said calmly, "They will be nervous if I go."
"You are usually too strict with them, so now they are afraid of you."
Li Youwei said helplessly and asked with concern, "How is your injury?"
"Already healed."
Li Qingzhi responded, "Sister, after the New Year, I have to take the first step. There are too many things at Yanyu Tower, and I need to go back and deal with them as soon as possible."
"Did you tell your adoptive father?" Li Youwei asked.
"not yet."
Li Qingzhi shook his head and replied, "I'll tell you before I leave. I'm afraid my adoptive father will be unhappy."
"It's better to tell the adoptive father in advance so that he can be mentally prepared." Li Youwei suggested.
Li Qingzhi thought for a while, nodded and said, "That's fine, I'll go and talk about it right away."
After finishing his words, Li Qingzhi walked away without saying another word.
"Leaving the day after tomorrow?"
In a room not far away, Li Baiwan felt a little uncomfortable when he heard the words of the two sons in front of him, and asked in confusion, "Why are you in such a hurry? Is the Yanyu Building very busy?"
"Um."
Li Qingzhi nodded and responded, "Both Nanling and the Central Plains are in urgent need of manpower. I must go back as soon as possible. Moreover, I want to take Hongyi with me this time, and I hope my adoptive father will agree."
"Hongyi is leaving too?"
Li Wanwan was shocked. After a moment, he came back to his senses, forced a smile and said, "Go ahead, no matter what you want to do, my father will support you."
"Thank you, foster father."
Li Qingzhi was moved in his heart, but did not show it, and bowed respectfully again.
Outside the room, laughter was heard one after another, but the room was filled with sadness of parting.
The Li family rose from humble beginnings, enjoyed the admiration of the world, and endured unimaginable pain.
There is never anything in this world that we should take for granted, and some are just trying our best.
By the lake, at the end of the game, Taotao Xiao lost two pieces, creating her best record against the young master.
"I should have won if I came down here just now."
On the side, Li Hongyi gave a post-game summary and said it very gracefully.
"..."
Taotao couldn't help but rolled her eyes and didn't want to deal with this idiot anymore.
I really don’t know where this guy got his confidence, and he still wants to beat the young master. Ever since he was a child, the young master seems to have never lost at chess. Even if Uncle Li, Uncle Black and Aunt Bai play together, they can’t beat the young master.
I don’t know how the young master’s head grew.
"You guys can play, I'll go to the hut."
After winning three consecutive games, Li Ziye really had no interest in playing another game, so he escaped with the help of urine.
"Sister Youwei, why are you still checking the accounts?"
Not long after, Li Ziye wandered to the study and said with some distress, "I'll take a break during the Chinese New Year."
"The investigation is almost over."
Li Youwei responded with a gentle expression, "Why don't you continue playing?"
"Dugu Qiubai."
Li Ziye walked to the table, warmed his hands, and said with a smile, "Those guys are too stupid, especially Hong Yi, who has no skills and no chess skills. Let's let them play."
"That's right. With their level, they can't beat you. By the way, your second brother has just been here."
Li Youwei said softly, "After the New Year, he will leave too."
"I know."
Li Ziye took the fire tongs, added a few pieces of charcoal to the brazier, and said softly, "Hong Yi will also leave with the second brother. For the time being, only Taotao is left here."
When Li Youwei heard this, she fell silent and sighed softly in her heart.
My parents are here and I don't have to travel far, but they have to leave.
Almost at the same time, in Dashang Palace, Ting Yuxuan.
The joyful atmosphere of the New Year seems to never reach the forgotten place of the palace.
"Let's go, Hibiscus."
In the room, Mu Wenqing placed all the compiled books neatly on the table, raised his head and glanced at the girl in front of him, and reminded him.
"yes."
Hibiscus took the order, put the wooden box containing Qian Ji Bai Lian on her back, and prepared to leave.
Before leaving, Mu Wenqing walked to the table beside him and put the two beads, one green and one red, placed on it into his sleeves.
The two beads were the royal treasure, the Water and Fire King Jade, and they were one of the few things that Prince Wen could take away.
Not long after, the two left Ting Yuxuan and walked outside the palace together.
"Your Majesty, can we come back?"
Outside the palace, Mu Jin looked back at the place behind her where she had lived for twenty years, and asked with a complicated expression.
"Do your best and obey destiny."
Mu Wenqing responded and immediately continued walking out of the city.
The Chinese New Year has passed, and Teacher Li must have been fully mentally prepared.
Playing a game with God, you will have a narrow escape from death. If you are not careful, you will end up in an eternal disaster.
However, this kind of chess game is interesting!
