Great commercial capital.
Sunset.
The afterglow of the setting sun was shining, dyeing the entire capital golden yellow. On the streets, pedestrians were coming and going, and everyone went back to their homes at the end of the day.
At the west city gate, a figure holding a red oil-paper umbrella stepped forward and entered the city just as the gate was about to close.
Perhaps because of her delicate appearance, many people on the street thought the visitor was a woman, and did not pay too much attention to her behavior of holding an umbrella.
Among the pedestrians, Hua Fengdu walked all the way towards Li Garden.
In fact, after the Qi Yin Jue Meridian was cured, Hua Fengdu was no longer afraid of light. However, because of habit, the behavior of holding an umbrella, which is only for women, continued.
To the west, the setting sun gradually disappeared, and the sky gradually darkened.
Night falls.
In all parts of the capital, the lanterns were lit up, reflecting the wind and snow, and there was a unique scenery.
In Li Garden, in the inner courtyard, in the room, the lights were beating, and Li Youwei was still checking the accounts. Even on the eve of the wedding, nothing had changed.
"Youwei, you are really calm."
Across the table, Hongzhu was holding a plate of dried fruits. While eating, he said, "Tomorrow is your wedding day, and you are still here reading the account book."
"It's just a wedding, it's not a big deal."
Li Youwei responded casually, picked up the ink pen, made two entries on the account book, and said, "Hongzhu, eat less. You have already spent all your monthly money this month, and I won't lend it to you anymore."
"It's okay, my old man still has some, I'll borrow them from him." Hongzhu smiled and responded.
"It's really yours."
Li Youwei shook her head helplessly and responded, "Since Senior Nan Wang came to the Li family, he has done the most and spent the least. In the words of my younger brother, this is free labor."
"He spent a lot of money."
Hongzhu curled her lips and said, "None of the medicinal materials and poisons he used were free money. His expenses alone are almost as much as the entire intelligence organization of our Li family."
"That's a public account, as it should be."
Li Youwei put down the account book in her hand and responded calmly, "Senior Nan Wang's research is related to the future of the people in the world. The wealth of the Li family is obtained from the people, and they will eventually have to bear the corresponding responsibilities and cannot escape it."
"Youwei, have you been brainwashed by Little Red Riding Hood? Why do you still care about everyone in the world?"
Hongzhu looked suspicious, and then said seriously, "Be good and be obedient. That is what the Confucian family should worry about. We are just a merchant family and we can't care about that much."
"Ah."
Li Youwei smiled softly and responded, "It's not that noble, just another way of saying it. By the way, how is the manual adjustment?"
"Everyone who can come has come."
Hongzhu stuffed two candied fruits into her mouth, preparing to stretch herself to death, and said inarticulately, "There is a person, you will never guess who it is."
"Hua Fengdu?" Li Youwei picked up a new account book and asked casually.
Hongzhu looked stunned and said in surprise, "Can you guess this?"
"You're blind." Li Youwei responded with a smile.
"Miss, Bingxue is indeed smart."
At this moment, a dark red figure walked out of the inner courtyard, silently, as if appearing out of thin air.
In the room not far away, Mao Nanfeng noticed the sudden aura outside, and his expression condensed.
What a powerful body skill.
He didn't even notice it at all just now.
The people of Yanyu Tower are indeed extraordinary.
"Hua Fengdu, do you know that scaring people will scare them to death!"
In the room, Hongzhu saw the figure suddenly appearing outside, and couldn't help but exclaimed, "Next time I walk, can I make some noise?"
"That's not okay."
Hua Fengdu walked to the room and said with a smile, "I am the deputy owner of Yanyu Building. How could someone discover my whereabouts? I still need to have this kind of professional ethics."
After saying that, Hua Feng bowed to the woman opposite Hongzhu and said respectfully, "I have met the eldest lady."
"We are all family members, so there is no need to be polite."
Li Youwei looked at the man in front of the room who was more delicate than the woman and said with a smile, "Hua Fengdu, long time no see. You seem to be more beautiful than before."
"this."
When Hua Feng heard this, he smiled bitterly and said helplessly, "The eldest lady is just like the young master, starting to judge people by their appearance."
"Just talking, sit in the room."
Li Youwei smiled, changed the subject, and said, "Just in time, I have a few words to ask you."
"Um."
Hua Feng nodded, walked into the house, and sat down in front of the brazier.
"Can you eat it?"
Hongzhu handed the fruit plate over and immediately took it back, saying to herself, "Forget it if you don't want to eat it."
"..."
Hua Fengdu's outstretched hand hung there awkwardly, neither extending nor closing.
"How is Hong Yi doing now?"
Li Youwei ignored the two people fighting and asked with concern.
"It's basically fine."
Hua Feng took back his hand and replied, "The heart-protecting scale given to him by the White Lady saved his life. Now he is resting in Yanyu Tower. After three to five months of rest, he should be able to recover."
"What happened to Xiao Hongyi made me believe in the saying that good deeds are rewarded with good deeds."
On the side, Hongzhu sighed, "If Xiao Ziye hadn't used the second dragon ball to save White Lady's life, Hongyi might not have come back."
"My little brother always has his own reasons for doing things."
Li Youwei smiled and said, "Anyway, Hong Yi is fine. Where is Mr. Ge? Is he okay?"
"so so."
Hua Feng responded truthfully, "Mr. Ge is too old. I'm afraid he will lose several years of his life by fighting against the scholar this time."
After hearing the former's answer, Li Youwei sighed in her heart and said, "I will let people continue to search for the magic medicine to recuperate Elder Ge's body."
"It doesn't help much anymore."
Hua Fengdu said softly, "In these years, I have basically used all the magic medicines that can be used. The fact that Mr. Ge can survive to this day is a blessing from God. By the way, Miss, in addition to attending the wedding of the Miss, I am here this time. There’s one more thing to do.”
At this point, Hua Feng paused and said seriously, "Does the eldest lady know anything about Zhang Donglu, the former prince's young master?"
"Why do you ask this?" Li Youwei asked puzzledly.
"Hongyi brought back a stone box from Ten Thousand Demons Ridge. Elder Ge said that it needs Zhang Zu's descendants to open it."
Hua Fengdu simply explained, "And Zhang Donglu is the descendant of Zhang Zu."
"Youwei, what a coincidence."
On the side, Hongzhu said in surprise, "As soon as Zhang Donglu took the initiative to contact our Li family, we have to ask for something from him."
Hua Feng heard the former's words and asked in confusion, "We don't seem to have any friendship with Zhang Donglu, right?"
"It didn't happen before, but now it does."
Li Youwei said calmly, "Today, I gave Mr. Zhang an invitation. If he comes tomorrow, you can ask him on the spot."
