A heavy snowfall overnight left Xiongshan County covered in snow.
When the snow first stopped, the sky was still dark.
Li Xuan shrank into the warm quilt, and beside him was Qiangwei, the maid who was sleeping with him today.
Qiangwei is the same age as Li Xuan, both seventeen.
She was originally the courtesan of the Nephrite House in Xiongshan County, but she was bought back home by Master Li with a huge sum of money.
However, the Li family is the head of the three major families in Anshan County.
As the eldest son of the head of the Li family, Li Xuan could redeem a courtesan, but he could not give him a status. At most, he could take her as a concubine after marrying her.
What's more, Mr. Li doesn't have just one maid.
The other one is called "Yaohua".
Yaohua was a chivalrous woman who was three years older than Li Xuan and was good at marksmanship. Her relatives were robbed and killed by bandits from Honghua Mountain in the north, so Yaohua begged the Li family to help her avenge her.
It just so happened that an information keeper in the Li family knew that the county soldiers had been ordered to suppress the bandits, so they agreed immediately, and then sent experts to work with the county soldiers to destroy the bandits in Honghua Mountain and avenge the Yaohua.
As for Yaohua, who valued love and righteousness, she was grateful and joined the Li family.
After being spotted by Mr. Li, he was deceived from his personal bodyguard and gradually became his maid.
...
Oh~oh~~~
A rooster crows in the distance, and the sky and the earth turn white.
Li Xuan yawned and opened his eyes.
As soon as he moved, Qiangwei woke up, and then she crawled into his arms like a clingy kitten. She glanced at him shyly and said, "Young Master is very powerful."
Li Xuan laughed.
He knew that compared to the aloof and upright Yaohua heroine, this oiran was well versed in the ways of fighting in the harem and was a very tea-like beauty.
If it were Yaohua this morning, I'm afraid he would get up directly and say coldly to him: "Fists never leave your hands, music never leaves your mouth. People who practice martial arts often practice hard. The plan for the day lies in the morning. I practice." The gun is gone.”
Seeing him smile, Qiangwei rolled her almond-shaped eyes again, raised her hand and lightly hit his chest like a baby, and said in a demonic manner: "You are making fun of me, you are really annoying."
She said it was annoying, but she got closer and closer, and then reminded: "Today, the eldest sister of the young master is coming back to visit her. She set off from Chiyue County two days ago. According to the time, she should be entering the city before noon today at the latest."
The eldest sister was very kind to him when she was unmarried.
Li Xuan had no choice but to say reluctantly: "The only thing we can do is get up."
Qiangwei covered her lips and smiled, and said in a sweet voice: "Then... I will serve the young master to dress."
...
After a while.
Li Xuan sat quietly in front of the bronze mirror, and the petite beautiful lady behind him was combing his hair, and then took out a precious black cloud-patterned robe for him to put on.
Li Xuan looked at the young man in the mirror. He was a bit delicate and a bit heroic, but more of a "degenerate" who was blinded by luxury.
It has been seventeen years since he traveled through time. At the beginning, Li Xuan still had the idea of "since he has traveled through time, he must have a good fight."
But as time passed, he gave up this idea.
Xiongshan County is the eastern county of the Dayin Dynasty, and this dynasty is completely a world of low martial arts.
Even the well-known warriors in the dynasty can only fight ten of them one by one.
As for the Immortal Immortal, there has never been one.
Instead of messing around like that, it's better to inherit the wealth safely and enjoy the glory and wealth for the rest of your life.
Therefore, Li Xuan quickly "degenerated". He ate well and used good food. When he reached the age where he needed women, he did not show any pretense. He would try every means to accept the one he liked as a personal maid, and then slowly transformed into a roommate. Maid.
As for the first wife, he was waiting for the family marriage.
It's like opening a blind box. You never know who your bride is before you get married.
He has no requirements for "free love" and doesn't understand why he should break away from "family arrangements."
He is the eldest son of the Li family. He has received so many benefits from the Li family since he was born. Naturally, he needs to complete the powerful alliance through marriage to make the family stronger.
Soon, Li Xuan put on his clothes and Qiangwei quickly finished combing them like magic, followed Li Xuan and walked out of the house together.
This is a large courtyard with two entrances. The inner courtyard is where Li Xuan lives, and the outer courtyard is where the maids, Qiangwei and Yaohua, live.
At this time, in the outer courtyard, the heroic lady was practicing with her spear.
It was a large gun with an ash wood shaft, about 10 feet long.
The tip of the gun swirled around, picking up silver shavings.
There is nothing flashy about Yaohua's movements, but she advances and retreats like a spiritual ape, and shoots out her spear like a circle, continuously.
Li Xuan also couldn't understand the level of his woman's kung fu. According to the family's martial arts master, she was very good, but he felt that she couldn't even destroy a bandit's nest. So what if she was good?
However, he still touched his palms, showed a gentle smile, and praised: "Okay!!"
Yaohua didn't even look at him, she just focused on her cultivation.
Qiangwei leaned close to Li Xuan's ear and said angrily: "Xiao Yao is really a naive little girl. Even the slave family thinks it's too much."
Li Xuan patted her hard, and when she said "ouch", he said, "Let's go have a meal."
With that said, he bypassed the area where Yaohua practiced spear, walked along the wall to the door of the outer courtyard, then stepped out, walked a few steps and then turned back and shouted: "Xiao Yao, come to eat after you practice. I Have someone leave something hot for you.”
Yaohua ignored it.
But after Li Xuan was far away, he glanced at the back with his peripheral vision, and his expression was complicated.
...
"Son."
"Good morning, young master."
"The young master is in great spirits today!"
Along the way, the servants saluted Li Xuan when they saw him.
Immediately, the meals prepared in the dining hall were presented to Li Xuan.
Qiangwei followed closely, fearing that someone would take her place.
After watching Li Xuan sit down, she followed suit, then picked up a small transparent soup dumpling with long chopsticks, placed it on a delicate small porcelain plate, and said with a smile: "Today is the truffle soup dumpling that the young master likes." Woolen cloth."
After putting them away, she took some peanuts from the steamer on one side, and then peeled them open with her hands that were good at playing the piano and harp. Seeing the right moment, she brought them to Li Xuan's mouth and said, "These are winter peanuts sent by the tenants. But Delicious.”
Li Xuan opened his mouth, bit into the peanut, and chewed it twice. It was indeed delicious.
Rose continued to serve him.
Li Xuan felt that he was becoming more and more depraved.
What a day...
It’s really worth taking a trip through time.
...
Li Xuan insisted on eating breakfast for half an hour.
Then, he will start his hard work for the day.
This hard work is to inspect his own property and visit the cloth shops, martial arts schools, and blacksmith shops belonging to the Li family, so that the stewards of those shops can get closer to him, and also let outsiders know who the future owner of the Li family will be.
While he was eating, Almighty Rose ate a few more hurriedly, and then seeing that he was almost done eating, she went to urge Controller to prepare the carriage.
But where should she be urged?
Yushou's carriage had just arrived at Chenshi and stopped not far from the dining hall.
The rose tea smells like tea, so I made it for Li Xuan.
Li Xuan also allowed this little lady to do what she wanted.
...
After a while of inspection, Li Xuan returned to Li's house at noon, but the eldest sister did not come back.
"I'm afraid I was delayed on the road. It snowed yesterday, so maybe the road is closed?" Qiangwei tried to explain.
Li Xuan nodded.
The eldest sister married in another county, which is in the north of Xiongshan County. Normally, it only takes a day and a half to get there.
Qiangwei had taken the weather into consideration before, but she didn't expect it was still too late.
"Let's go to Buzhuang again in the afternoon." Li Xuandao.
Qiangwei praised: "Young Master is really hardworking."
...
At night.
Li Xuan goes home.
But the eldest sister hasn’t arrived yet.
...
The next day, noon.
The eldest sister still hasn’t arrived.
The Li family sent martial artists out to look for him.
The martial artist hurried back the next day, and as soon as he came back, he ran into Master Li's study to report secretly, but he was stopped by Li Xuan when he came out.
Li Xuan asked directly: "Uncle Zhao, where is my eldest sister?"
The martial artist who was called Uncle Zhao saluted and said: "Young Master, Miss, she...she..."
Uncle Zhao seemed to be considering it.
Li Xuan said in a deep voice: "What's going on? Can't I know?"
Uncle Zhao hurriedly waved his hand and said no, and then sighed and said: "Many people died on the official road in the north. The government is investigating, but we have not found the body of the eldest lady."
