Huang Tinghui and the old patriarch waited outside the door for a short time when they heard a "squeaking" sound.

As the door of Li's Mansion opened, an old man stood outside the door.

Is this Li Baichong?

After coming to this world, it was the first time for Huang Tinghui to see an unofficial Juren master.

"Famous seal!"

"You're old!" At this point, the senile old man said again in a self-deprecating tone, "I'm old too!"

"You have all white hair, how can you not age?"

"It's not enough for people to be disobedient!" The old patriarch asked for help.

Although he has a grudge against his cousin in his heart, he is no longer a three-year-old child and will let some emotions control him.

"I still remember that we used to bathe and catch shrimps by the river. It was such a happy time!"

When people get old, it is easy to recall some things from the past.

This was true even for Li Baichong, who had the status of being a scholar and taught at Luyang Academy.

"We can't go back to the past. At that time, we rode bamboo horses and cut down the weeds with wooden sticks in our hands. We thought we were unparalleled generals in the world!"

"Where can I still have this childlike innocence at this time?"

The old patriarch seemed to be recalling the past, and he said to Li Baichong with a smile.

"Hahaha……"

"Hahaha..." Li Baichong burst into laughter when the old patriarch said this.

From the conversation between the two people, the memories between the two people.

Li Baichong knew that the old patriarch did not blame himself more.

At that time, he didn't know the situation at home, so he sent a letter.

And it was that letter that made my poor aunt die with regret.

As Li Baichong, who had read the books of sages and passed the imperial examination, he naturally felt extremely regretful in his heart.

After he later learned about this, he never paid attention to his parents, grandparents, or grandparents again.

The rest are just some polite words.

After all, when Li Baichong was young, his aunt loved him very much.

And his relationship with the old patriarch is also excellent.

Later, when Li Baichong wanted to lay a stick of incense in front of his aunt's memorial tablet, he was driven out by the furious old patriarch and his son.

In Li Baichong's view, this was just his own fault.

Even so, Li Baichong would burn some paper money for his aunt every Qingming Festival and Ghost Festival.

One is to gain some peace of mind, and the other is because of guilt from the bottom of my heart.

Now that his cousin came to see him, Li Baichong was naturally extremely happy.

"Mingzhang, come on, come on!"

"Come in quickly, don't get angry with your brother!"

It can be seen that Li Baichong is extremely happy that his younger brother came to visit him.

The old patriarch also crossed the threshold and walked inside.

Huang Tinghui naturally followed the two of them and entered the Li Mansion.

I have to say that the Juren Master’s mansion is extraordinary!

I don’t know where Li Baichong got so much money. He had pavilions, rockeries, gardens and even a small lake.

Just by looking at the layout, Huang Tinghui guessed that the cost of building this land was definitely not low.

Previously, Huang Tinghui thought that with the money he had saved, he could buy a similar, smaller mansion.

At the moment, it seems that I am overthinking it.

Let alone a smaller mansion, even a smaller one may not be available.

The difference between people is so big!

This is just the residence of a juren lord. If it were those county magistrates and those official lords.

Even Zhang Julu, the chief minister of the dynasty, what about his mansion?

Huang Tinghui couldn't help but think about it.

"Why!"

"Comrade, you still need to work hard. You must not be complacent just because of your small achievements!"

"Compared to others, there is still a long way to go!"

Huang Tinghui clenched his fists and encouraged himself secretly.

After passing through the pavilions, Huang Tinghui, the old patriarch, and Mr. Li walked into the living room.

Servants have already prepared tea and snacks.

What is placed on the table is tea brewed with "Tieguanyin", and the plates next to it are filled with various "snacks".

"Famous seal!"

"This little brother, drink tea, drink tea!"

"Have some snacks, have some snacks!"

Li Baichong waved his hand and said to Huang Tinghui and the old patriarch.

Huang Tinghui picked up the tea cup and placed the tea lid on top of the tea cup to prevent the tea leaves from being sucked into his mouth.

The tea is a little hot!

After Huang Tinghui took a breath, he took a sip of "Tieguanyin".

Although Huang Tinghui doesn't like drinking tea, which tea leaves taste good and which tea leaves don't.

He can still tell the difference.

After drinking the tea, Huang Tinghui picked up the snacks on the plate and took a bite.

Osmanthus cake!

It’s really good!

No wonder everyone wants to be a big boss, with such treatment and such standards.

How many people don’t want to be a big boss?

Humans, don’t they just want to make their lives better?

"Mingzhang, I haven't said Happy New Year to you yet!"

After drinking the tea, Li Baichong stood up and actually said New Year greetings to his cousin.

"Cousin, I can't bear this, I can't bear it!" Seeing his cousin acting like this, the old patriarch stood up immediately and hurriedly said to Li Baichong.

"You are my cousin, I can't bear this gift!"

"Happy New Year, Happy New Year!" the old patriarch replied.

"You and I are brothers, and we grew up together!"

"What hasn't been done?"

"Even brothers are not as close as you and me!"

"Of course I deserve it!" Li Baichong said to the old patriarch.

I have to say that Li Baichong is really a person with high emotional intelligence.

With just these three words, the decades of estrangement between the two brothers were completely eliminated.

"Cousin, I haven't come to your house before..." When the old patriarch was about to say something to Li Baichong, he was interrupted by Li Baichong.

"Don't mention the past, it's all in the past!"

"We are all people whose bodies are going to be buried. There is no point in talking about these things!"

Li Baichong wisely avoided this topic, after all, if some past events were revealed again.

It's hurt for both of them.

After speaking, Li Baichong looked at Huang Tinghui, who was standing aside without speaking.

He looked at the old patriarch and asked, "Mingzhang, I forgot to ask you just now, who is this?"

Hearing Li Baichong's question, the old patriarch immediately called Huang Tinghui in front of him.

"Brother Hui!"

"Wish my cousin a happy new year!"

After hearing what the old patriarch said, Huang Tinghui immediately raised his hands to Li Baichong and said, "Happy New Year, Master Juren!"

After Huang Tinghui finished speaking, the old patriarch took over his words and said: "Huang Tinghui, the only scholar in our Huangjia Village."

"I came to see you this time because of his affairs!"

Hearing what the old patriarch said, Li Baichong immediately understood something.

"Mingzhang, do you want him to enter Luyang Academy?"

Li Baichong was straight to the point.
