Chapter 55 Li Wenjun
Niu'er was reincarnated in the family of Li Cheng, the richest man in Luoyang. Li Cheng's ancestors were distant relatives of Li Yuan, the founding emperor of the Tang Dynasty. It was because this relative was too far away that there was no title after the founding of the Tang Dynasty. Although there were no titles, seeing that everyone was a family five hundred years ago, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin gave Li Cheng's ancestors the privilege of salt and iron, which was this privilege. The Li Cheng clan built the family business of the richest man in Luoyang for so many years.
Although Li Cheng married more than a dozen wives and concubines in this life, he did not have a baby daughter until he was in his thirties. Li Cheng was like a pearl in his hand and named Li Wenjun. When Miss Wenjun was thirteen, the matchmaker who was asking for marriage flattened the threshold of the Li family.
Among the people who were seeking marriage were wealthy merchants and wealthy people from Chang'an and Luoyang, as well as many young masters with great titles. Even royal relatives also asked for marriage to come to their house. Everyone knew that Miss Wenjun, who went to the Li family, could get the Li family's property. At present, Li Cheng used the excuse of his daughter's youngness to reject these people who proposed marriage one by one.
However, Li Wenjun just celebrated his fifteenth birthday this year, and it was a bit unreasonable to use young age as an excuse. When these days, Li Cheng was worried about his daughter's marriage. Do you know who to choose among these rich young men to be the best son-in-law to choose for his son-in-law.
In addition to this, Li Cheng was also upset about another thing. News came from Chang'an City that His Majesty now heard the slander of the eunuch Yu Chaoen around him and wanted to take back the privileges of the Li family's salt and iron franchise. For so many years, the Li Cheng clan has been relying on this privilege to have such a large family business. If the salt and iron franchise is recovered, the foundation of the Li family for so many years will be destroyed.
Just yesterday, Yu Chaoen sent someone to propose marriage to his adopted son Yu Linghui. At this time, he was a discerning person who asked him to use a salt and iron monopoly to threaten Li Cheng and let his precious daughter marry the adopted son of a eunuch. Li Cheng himself felt disgusted. However, if he didn't marry, Li's century-old foundation would be destroyed in his hands...
Just when Li Cheng was in a dilemma, the official came to report that there were a few strange foreigners coming to see the master. One of them was the father of the two princes Cheng Yaojin, who had already passed away because of the Miss Li family.
When Li Cheng was a child, he knew about the fact that Cheng Yaojin had raised a few living gods. But what did a big man like them come to do to him? Could it be that a god fell in love with his daughter and came to propose marriage? Didn’t it mean that gods are pure-minded and have no desires but not close to women? Could it be that gods also want to marry their wives and pass on their family line?
But if a god really becomes his son-in-law, he will not worry about Yu Chaoen. He really annoyed his son-in-law and directly took the head of the castrated man with a flying sword.
Mr. Li, who was full of thought that it was a living god coming to propose marriage, hurriedly changed into auspicious clothes. While asking the maid, the woman invited her baby daughter out, and went to the gate to greet her in person.
When Mr. Li arrived at the gate, he was shocked by the people in front of him. These people were all very strange, especially the monkey jumping with a big stick and couldn't match the people no matter how he looked. Fortunately, there was a little white face inside that looked pleasing to the eyes, but his white hair was a little eye-catching...
Looking at the age of a few weirdos, only the young man is at the age of marriage, that's right, he is just a kiss. Although this young man looks arrogant, he is handsome. Not to mention his daughter, he is just a half-grown old man, he also wants to take a look at him.
After deciding that the white-haired man was the one who came to propose marriage, Li Cheng smiled and bowed to the living gods and said, "I am the owner of this house, Li Cheng. I heard that he is the family of His Highness the Shuangwang Cheng. I don't know what to do when I come?"
While speaking, Li Cheng's eyes were still on Wu Mian's face when he looked at his son-in-law. He became more and more uncomfortable when he looked at the white-haired man. Wu Mian actually avoided Li Cheng's gaze and turned his face to the other side.
Seeing Li Cheng looking at Wu Mian, Gui Bugui smiled and said, "Mr. Li is polite. We are just a few monks who practice Taoism, how dare you be a god. However, it is indeed a trivial matter to see Mr. Li this time. If Mr. Li doesn't mind, can we ask a few of us to talk to the mansion?"
The old guy became serious and looked like a good person with a fairy-like appearance. After hearing this, Li Cheng hurriedly invited them to his mansion. When he entered the door, he looked at Gui Bugui a few times, saying in his heart: It’s a pity that he is a little too old, otherwise he would not be able to negotiate as his son-in-law, but the best candidate is still the white-haired little white-faced. After so long, he didn’t say a word, and seeing his father-in-law, the little white-faced must be shy...
After entering the central hall, everyone took a seat. At this time, Li Cheng continued to ask the living gods what happened to him.
Gui Bugui chuckled slightly and said, "To be honest, we have a relationship with Miss Wenjun several lifetimes ago. We have disappeared for hundreds of years, so we came here just to see Miss Wenjun again. There is something to tell the lady, and after that, we are about to leave..."
"So many people and the little girl had known each other several lifetimes ago..." Li Cheng felt a little regretful when he heard that the old guy was not here to date the little guy. However, what the old guy said was too shocking, and Mr. Li finally realized after a while. It turned out that they had known Wen Jun several lifetimes ago. This was a bit too mysterious. Could it be a liar, right?
Seeing the puzzled look in Li Cheng's eyes, Gui Bugui picked up the teacup beside him. The old guy just turned the teacup and the cup appeared inside, turning into a water ball the size of a human head. Then the water ball turned into a little girl's face in front of Li Cheng. After a moment, the girl's face turned into the appearance of another girl.
Not long after, the faces of five or six girls appeared in front of Li Cheng one after another, and finally became the appearance of his own precious daughter Li Wenjun. From the moment Li Wenjun was just born, he gradually changed to what he is now. Li Cheng grew up in shock and did not close for a long time.
"Now Mr. Li can trust us a few?" Gui Bugui smiled slightly and took the magic. The water ball of the face-sized person slowly left back in the teacup. After taking a sip of the tea, the old guy continued, "Originally, we wanted to secretly look at Miss Li's family and then leave. But he still respected Mr. Li as the biological father of Miss Wenjun in this life, so he went to Master Li."
After seeing the miracle of the old god, Li Cheng had already believed their identity. They took their daughter away with such skills, and they could not stop him. Now these people are willing to ask for a look at him first, and they have shown their sincerity. At that moment, Li Cheng smiled and said, "A few old gods, wait a moment, I have asked someone to invite the little girl over..."
While talking, Li Cheng glanced at the shadow of the sun shining on the teacup. Then he muttered: "Wenjun should have come out too, why is there no movement this time?"
When Li Cheng said this, Wu Mian, who was originally sitting on the chair, suddenly stood up. He didn't say anything and walked towards the back hall. After seeing this, Li Cheng hurriedly stopped him: "Wait for a moment, the back hall is full of female relatives, which is inconvenient..."
Wu Mian ignored Li Cheng. Just as half of his foot had already stepped into the back hall, the expression on the white-haired man's face suddenly became sharp. Then he reached out and pushed Li Cheng, Gui Bugui and others out, and followed the force of grabbing Wu Mian walked into the back hall.
"After all, it was the legendary Wu Mian. He just stretched out half of his foot and knew that he was in my formation." While speaking, the gate of the embroidery building opposite the lady opened, and a young man in official clothes walked out of it. He smiled at Wu Mian and continued, "I originally wanted to meet Mr. Wu Mian in the previous formation. Unfortunately, I couldn't leave for a while, so I asked Han Zhongxian to take me to be lenient with him. Unfortunately, he didn't have that blessing..."
