Chapter 19 Betrothed

Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, and the whole family is staying at home. Li Jiancheng also got up a little earlier than usual today because he had to prepare early and then he had to greet guests. As a member of his family, of course there are many guests who come to visit.

So they had to prepare early. After practicing "The Secret of Immortality" in the room, they walked out of the room. Li Shimin and Li Yuanji happened to come out, so the three of them went to the hall together.

"Haha, children, the New Year is here, and you have grown one year older. From now on, you must listen to your father and mother even more." Dou Xian said with a smile, and then took out three jade pendants and listened to Dou Xian say these things.

They were all rewards from the palace, and the same was true for the jade ring that was pawned by Li Jiancheng last time. But he didn't care, and no one would come to check it anyway.

"Today your father's colleagues and subordinates are coming to our house to pay New Year's greetings. You must behave better and not embarrass your father, okay?" Dou Xian taught patiently.

"Got it!" The three of them replied in unison, but Li Shimin and Li Yuanji both answered feebly. Dou Xian raised her eyebrows directly, so the two of them shouted again: "I know." In this way Dou Xian

Only then did his face improve and he smiled. In fact, you can't blame the two of them. You must know that they don't get up early very often, so they are only asked to come out to top the tank during the Chinese New Year.

"Okay, you go to eat. After eating, stay at home and don't run anywhere." Dou Xian said the second half of her sentence to Li Jiancheng. It seemed that she was worried that the child would run outside today, which made her worried.

He was helpless. Could it be that my character is so bad?

After dinner, the people who came to visit came in groups, and they all came with their families. Some brought their sons, and some brought their daughters. Those who brought their sons earnestly expressed their hope that they could become Qin Jinzhi with Li Xiuning.

Well, Li Jiancheng felt helpless again about this. How old is Xiuning now? Li Yuan and Dou Xian were also sweating profusely. They refused on the grounds that Li Xiuning was too young now. The one who brought his daughter first said to the three brothers.

He praised him lavishly, saying that he was a talented person, a dragon or a phoenix among people, whatever sounded good to him, and these words of praise were not repeated, which made Li Jiancheng deeply admired. In the end, he showed his wolf tail, hoping to marry his daughter off.

One of the three brothers, Li Yuan and Dou Xian once again refused because of their junior age. In fact, these people also knew that there was little hope, because of their status, how could one of the four major families be comparable to these people?

Do you think it is possible to look down on those with low status and shout equality all day long? When you reach this level, will you still shout for equality? Impossible! So equality is just a slogan to give the poor a hope. But these are all

It's an unspoken rule, and I won't openly say it out loud. But if you know it, you know it, and you still have to try it if you have the chance.

Finally at sunset, it was actually quite early, because it was winter now, so the sun set early, around five o'clock. All the visitors were gone, Li Yuan and Dou Xian breathed a sigh of relief, and the brothers

The three of them also breathed a sigh of relief. Li Yuan and Dou Xian breathed a sigh of relief. It was tiring. Although these people were not as good as the Li family, they could not lose their face. After all, they also followed the Li family.

The boss's headquarters should give them a chill, otherwise no one will follow the Li family in the future. Of course, those people will not come to the door when the time is up, so they must give them some rest time. As for the three brothers, it is because they were relieved.

It's scary, these people are so enthusiastic that even Li Jiancheng can't stand it, let alone Li Shimin and Li Yuanji. As for Li Xiuning who is still breastfeeding, what can he know?

"Finally, everyone is gone, we are finally clean!" Dou Xian exhaled after all the visitors had left.

"It's embarrassing for my wife, but you can't be disrespectful to others." Li Yuan said.

"You and I are husband and wife, why should we be so polite?" Dou Xian rolled her eyes at Li Yuan and said.

"Ahem...Father, mother, when are we going to have dinner?" Li Jiancheng saw that the two of them were immersed in nausea and had to speak out.

The warm atmosphere between Li Yuan and Dou Xiaoan was broken. They both glared at Li Jiancheng. He could only smile dryly. "Cheng'er, have you forgotten? We decided to dine at the 'Western Travel Inn' this time and invited guests.

"Dou Xian didn't mention that Li Jiancheng had really forgotten it.

"Oh! When will we set off? The kid is hungry." Li Jiancheng said that there was no way to deal with the fact that those people didn't have lunch. "The kid is hungry too." Li Shimin and Li Yuanji also shouted in unison.

"You guys go get ready and leave immediately." After Dou Xian said that, she went back to her room to dress up. The three brothers also hurried back to their room to get ready. Only Li Yuan walked back to the room leisurely behind, and Li Jiancheng was puzzled.

Yes, I haven't felt hungry after a whole day, but he will know the reason after a while.

Half an hour later, my mother finally appeared, and by this time our three brothers were so hungry that we almost fell on the table. Only my father was still watching with a smile. I finally understood that no matter in any era, women dress up

The time is always so long, and my father probably has already experienced it, so he is not in a hurry.

"Hey! You are all ready. It's so fast! Haha." Dou Xian didn't know that she was slow. The three brothers were helpless about this. Only Li Yuan shook his head and smiled.

"Let's go." Li Yuan, the eldest son of the family, spoke. When he came to the door, there was a carriage and a majestic horse. The three brothers Li Jiancheng and Dou Xian rode in the carriage together, while Li Yuan rode a horse.

In this situation, the three Li Jiancheng brothers were sitting in the carriage depressedly, watching Li Yuan on horseback doing various poses. Of course, this was Li Jiancheng's inner thoughts about Li Yuan. I don't know when he can ride.

Mount your horse.

Because I took a bus, it only took a few minutes to get there, whereas it usually takes about a quarter of an hour to walk.

Earlier in the carriage, I noticed that there seemed to be an acquaintance in front of the restaurant. Now when I arrived in front of the restaurant, I saw You Chuhong, Dugu Feng, Dugu Wen, two heroic middle-aged men, and two gorgeously dressed ladies.

If Li Jiancheng's estimate was correct, these two people should be Dugu Feng, the head of the Dugu family, and Dugu Sheng, Dugu Feng's second brother.

Sure enough, "Mrs. You is well." Li Yuan first said to You Chuhong, then turned to the two middle-aged men and said: "I didn't expect that the head of the Dugu family and the top master of the Dugu family, Dugu Sheng, are here."

"Haha, Mr. Li, you are well here!" Dugu Feng stepped forward and said. "My mother was invited by Mrs. Li to attend this feast, so she and her second brother came uninvited. I hope Mr. Li will forgive me." However,

He looked like he didn't want to forgive me at all.

"Haha, since everyone is here, let's go in. I have already made a reservation at the 'Mei' brand. When everyone arrives, the dishes will be served." Dou Xian saw sparks flying between his father and Dugu Feng, so he stepped forward

This made Li Jiancheng very puzzled. Why did the two of them become so sarcastic when they met? You know that my father has always been peaceful, so why did he act like this when he saw Dugu Feng? There is something wrong!

When everyone arrived at the room numbered "Mei" on the fourth floor, they could still vaguely hear the comments coming from the people below.

"See, that's the Li family who is the only one qualified to enter the fourth floor." Diner A said with envy.

"Then who is the other group?" Diner B asked.

"Hey! That's also the famous Dugu family. I must have been invited by the Li family, so I was able to enter the fourth floor." Diner A kept talking.

The people who entered the fourth floor could no longer hear what they said. "Brother Li, I am deeply envious of this jade plaque. I wonder if you can help me get one." Dugu Feng said angrily.

"Brother Dugu, I relied on my son's friendship with my boss to obtain this jade medal. I'm afraid it's no longer possible now." The father said with a smile, as if he was gloating.

"Master, let's talk about something before we eat." Dou Xian interrupted Li Yuan.

"What's going on?" Li Yuan asked in confusion.

"The last time I went to Dugu's house to invite them, I discussed it with Mrs. You and hoped that our two families would become in-laws." Dou Xian said with a smile.

"Oh, who is it?" Li Yuan asked doubtfully.

"I want Cheng'er and Feng'er to get engaged, what do you think?" Dou Xian asked.
