Still in the front yard.
The masters of the Li Mansion gathered around him, walking so fast that they almost ran away.
Li Yang took the lead, looking a little surprised, obviously not expecting Zhong Yan to come to the door so soon.
"Liu'er has met uncle!"
She smiled and bowed, and behind her, all the concubines saluted, all with different looks and charms. Seven of the nine came, as well as the daughter-in-law of the mansion.
Zhong Yan cupped his hands and said, "Sisters-in-law, please don't blame me for disturbing you."
"What did uncle say? Please come in quickly!"
Zhong Yan glanced at the big man Liang Zhu next to him. This guy was looking around with a gift box, but he didn't hand it over.
Indeed, as Zhong Xiaozhong said, he only has strength but not much brains. He has been taught martial arts skills, but he cannot develop his inner energy.
"What are you doing so stupidly?" Zhong Yan couldn't help but laugh, but he was quite satisfied with this simple and honest man.
The maid of the Li Mansion took the initiative to take over, "Brother Zhuzhu, please come here to have tea."
Zhong Yan walked inside and asked, "How are you doing in the house lately?"
"Okay! Thank you uncle for caring!"
"I heard that my uncle was in seclusion a few days ago. If he came out so quickly, he must have made great progress in his cultivation. I congratulate my uncle..."
Go to the circular corridor.
"uncle!"
Li Shangwu, wearing a black training uniform, ran over with sweat on his back and knelt down in obeisance, "My nephew is paying homage to my uncle! I was practicing earlier and couldn't go out to greet him. Please forgive me!"
"stand up."
Zhong Yan gave him a hand, looked at him, and asked with a smile: "Shang Wu, where is your state?"
Li Shangwu felt ashamed and said: "Returning to my uncle, I broke through to the sixth level of acquired skills at the beginning of the year and have not made any further progress."
Zhong Yan: "This is only a short time, so we can't rush for success."
Li Yang helped and said with a smile: "He, besides taking care of the business in the house, he has been practicing martial arts all day long. He wants to improve his level quickly and give his father some credit."
Zhong extended his hand and pressed his shoulder, "Not bad! But we must also pay attention to the balance between work and rest."
"That's what uncle taught me." Although he simply pressed his shoulder, Li Shangwu felt great encouragement.
A group of people entered the main hall and took their seats.
Zhong Yan asked about the details of Li Mansion.
In addition to the rural properties, there is only one property left in the city, the brewery, and the rest have been transferred and sold.
As for the martial arts school, it is mainly for cultivating force and occasionally escorting goods, which is an expenditure item.
Overall, a break-even was achieved.
Zhong Yan asked: "Do you need me to come forward and say something about Master Nie?"
Li Shangwu and his mother looked at each other, clasped their fists and said, "Thank you, uncle. Others come to challenge us normally. If we lose, we are not as good as others. Please come forward to regain the position, but it seems that you cannot afford to lose. At present, the major martial arts schools in Qingyang City, The competition among many martial artists is fierce, and my nephew plans to move the martial arts school to a worse location in the North District and slowly grow..."
"Is the dish done?"
"Still looking for it."
Zhong Yan nodded, pondered for a moment and said: "I think this Courtyard No. 6 is big enough. It's better to select some trustworthy warriors to come back and train them as a family to guard the courtyard. The martial arts school will be put aside for the time being, and we can make plans later when the situation improves." "
Li Shangwu: "This..."
Li Yang smiled hurriedly and said: "What my uncle said is that the martial arts school can't go out a few times a year anyway, and the rent and grain income in the countryside are enough for our expenses."
As she said that, she glanced at a maid, glared at her son and feigned anger: "You kid, you're covered in sweat and you don't know how to change your clothes. You're so unruly, go!"
Li Shangwu hesitated for a moment, then stood up and said, "Uncle, sit down for a moment! My nephew will come back as soon as he goes!"
"Uncle, please have tea!"
After chatting for a while, Mrs. Li Yang smiled again and said, "This is my first time back at No. 6 Courtyard, how about I show you around?"
Zhong Yan glanced at her, probably asking for something, "Then let's go."
After retreating from the maid and other concubines, Mrs. Li Yang was accompanied by her second wife, Mrs. Li Qiu, who took Zhong Yan to wander around the house and introduced her with a smile from time to time.
"The two courtyards outside are the residences of servants. With Lao He taking care of them, I don't need to worry too much..."
Lao He is the steward of the Li Mansion, a warrior who was rescued by Li Henian back then. His martial arts level is average, but he is loyal enough.
"Over there are the side hall and study room, where Wu'er and the three of them live."
"..."
Zhong Yan nodded and echoed from time to time, "The scenery is not bad."
Courtyard No. 6 is not as big as the previous Li Mansion, but it is much larger than Courtyard No. 10. However, because it does not include formations, the rent is not that expensive. It only costs money and it can be bought directly.
As they walked forward, Zhong Yan felt something strange in his heart. Two mature and beautiful women, one on the left and one on the right, were very close to each other, and the scent of fragrance filled his nostrils.
Li Yang even rubbed his elbows and arms intentionally or unintentionally, which was very different from the previous polite and considerate manner.
To say Gou Yin may be a bit exaggerated.
But it conveys the meaning of pleasing and clinging.
This made Zhong Yan feel a lot of emotions, which is understandable.
In this world, it is especially difficult for women.
Li Mansion is now headed by Li Shangwu, but after all, he is just a child under twenty years old. In the past, his family had a big business and was well protected. He had never experienced any setbacks. Li Henian left suddenly and found it difficult to return. He was driven away and put on a horse. A little off the heat.
Outsiders are watching eagerly, and without a man to back them up, the women of the family are worried and eager to seek shelter.
Li Yang secretly observed Zhong Yan's face and felt relieved when he saw that he didn't show any disgust with her little actions.
"This last courtyard is where we women live..."
Go around a few rockeries.
Mrs. Li Yang paused, bowed and bowed, "Uncle, I have something I don't know whether to talk about or not."
"But it doesn't matter."
"My uncle married two more concubines this year. Liu'er knew that his uncle had the wish to establish a clan. Although the eighth and ninth bedrooms of the Li Mansion were admitted to the house, the master was in a hurry and did not consummate the marriage. The two still had their first son. body.
Uncle Shu Yue and Yun Ning have both seen her. Needless to say, she is a first-class beauty. The master spent a lot of money to buy her. Moreover, both of them are warriors, and Yun Ning is even more congenital.
If her uncle doesn't dislike her, they are willing to join the Zhong Mansion and serve her wholeheartedly. For such a beautiful and beloved person, wouldn't it be a pity if she remained a widow in the Li Mansion or was taken away by others, uncle thinks? "
Zhong Yan stepped forward, "Let's talk about it later."
He had come into contact with Zhou Yunning, and he was indeed a talented person. Not only did he have excellent martial arts qualifications, but he was also quite intelligent. He had obviously been trained like Tang Xiaoshu at a great cost.
Although accepting other people's widows is commonplace in this world.
But he had a hunch in his heart that Li Henian would not die so easily.
The wonderful intuition under the slim chance, without any basis, I felt that the other party would come back one day.
If it was confirmed that Li Henian was dead, he wouldn't mind even if he took in all the wives and concubines of the Li family. No one would say anything, and it would save him trouble to find them again.
But what if Li Henian comes back in the future.
She has become the wife and concubine of her brother and friend!
Not to mention the looks from outsiders, he himself had no face to face Li Henian.
"In that case, let's wait and see. My uncle is busy practicing, so I got a little abrupt."
Li Yang was a little disappointed, so she smiled and helped find a step. Fortunately, she didn't refuse completely, and there was still hope.
Go to a place.
Zhong Yan stopped and looked towards a nearby house.
"This is Sanfang Ziying, the residence of Jingqiu's biological mother..."
Li Yang said with a smile, but suddenly his face changed slightly and he heard an abnormal female moan.
Mrs. Li Qiu looked at her, quickly stepped forward and pushed the door open, looking back with wide eyes.
Just in the living room at the front entrance, you can see everything at a glance.
The clothes were thrown away casually, and a smooth body was lying on the ground on its side, with a face full of spring red, and the soft skin was stretched down to the lower body.
But he is amusing himself!
Being knocked open by the sudden opening of the door, Zi Ying's face changed in shock, and she forgot to protect her graceful but inelegant figure.
"Asshole! Put it on quickly!"
Li Yang scolded angrily, and faced Zhong Yan with a look of embarrassment and shame: "I made uncle laugh because I was not strict in my discipline!"
She held Zhong Yan's hand and left, and after walking for a while, she sighed and smiled helplessly.
"But I can't blame her. As a person who has been through this kind of thing, how can I not know that the master has been away for a long time, and he is at the age when he needs it. Not to mention her, sometimes even I can't help it..."
As she spoke, she blushed, and the mature and shy look on her pretty face made the world eclipse her.
This time, it is undoubtedly Gou Yin.
Zhong Yan's heart was as clear as a mirror at the performances of these three people, and he couldn't help but sigh.
"The sisters-in-law of the Li family are united as one."
Half an hour later.
Zhong Yan was sent out of the house by a group of people led by Li Shangwu.
"If you encounter any difficulties, just come to the house and let us know. There is no need to see anyone outside."
"Yes, my nephew is sending his uncle off!"
"Uncle, walk slowly!"
…
