Chapter 6 The Day of Longevity
After entering the house, Li Jiancheng asked the woman about some information. It turned out that her husband's surname was Qin, and her surname was He Dan and Yi Qing. Her husband joined the army in his early years. The family had some savings, but later he died in the battlefield. Gradually, the tax revenue in recent years had spent all his savings. Therefore, such a thing happened just now. If it weren't for his appearance today, her daughter might have been taken to mortgage. The little girl was actually older than him. She was named Qin Yao, nine years old this year. The mother and daughter depended on each other and could still live a life.
"Young Master just said that if you have something to do, you need my help. I don't know what it is. As long as I can do it, I will help you." Mrs. Qin asked.
"That's right. I want to open a store to sell something, but I can't find anyone, so if I think so, I want to ask Mrs. Qin to help me sell it, so that you, mother and daughter, don't have to worry about someone causing trouble for you in the future." Li Jiancheng explained.
"I don't know what store the young master is going to open and what things are selling?" asked Mrs. Qin. Li Jiancheng didn't expect that she could be as many as she was. It seems that she has a certain business ability. So Li Jiancheng was going to open a hotel and sell wine with a higher level today, but he was worried about finding some people he didn't know. After just now, he found out that she was a person with good moral character, so he wanted to ask her to help sell it.
"Since that's the case, my mother and daughter have nowhere to make a living. Then the young master will be my mother and daughter's boss in the future." Seeing Li Jiancheng say this, Mrs. Qin agreed to help. After finally discussing, she came to her after he prepared everything and asked her to guard the hotel.
Then he said goodbye to her and her daughter, while Li Jiancheng took Li Shimin and Li Yuanji back, thinking about where to find a shop.
...
"Young master, Miss, the old lady, let you see her." A guard-like man said to Dugu Wen and Dugu Feng who had just arrived home.
"Okay! We know." Dugu Wen replied, and then walked towards the place where Youshi lived.
"Grandma, my cousin and I are here." Dugu Feng shouted, it turned out that Dugu Wen and Dugu Feng were not brothers and sisters. The grandmother at home loved Dugu Feng more, so she asked her to speak.
"Come in." Only a kind voice came from inside the room.
After the two entered the house, they saw You Chuhong sitting on the bed. The uninformed people thought she was old, so that was the case. Only a few people knew that she was practicing qigong in the bed.
"Little Phoenix, I heard that you were naughty again today. You didn't stay at home obediently, and even took your cousin out to play." You Chuhong seemed to be teaching a lesson, but who could not hear the love in his tone.
"Grandma, I've been bored when I stay at home all day, and no one at home takes me out to play, so I can only go there by myself." Dugu Feng looked aggrieved and pitiful, which made the ignorant people think she was bullied.
"Okay, okay! It's not your fault." Dugu Wen was puzzled by what You Chuhong said. If someone had changed, he would have been punished long ago. "By the way, you went out to play today, have you encountered anything fun?"
"Yes! We..." Then Dugu Feng said what happened today. When talking about being teased by a few playboys, a cold light flashed in You Chuhong's eyes, and Dugu Wen, who was standing on the side, was trembling. There were not many people in the family who were not afraid of the old lady. How could ordinary people bear her majesty? Then Dugu Feng said that Li Jiancheng's three brothers, of course, were mostly talking about Li Jiancheng. At the beginning, You Chuhong was not there. When she learned that Li Jiancheng was only seven years old, she gradually showed her thinking gaze, while Dugu Feng was still talking about Li Jiancheng's goodness. Especially when Li Jiancheng read a poem for her, she shyly lowered her head.
"Haha, when will our little phoenix still be shy?" Seeing her like this, You Chuhong laughed.
"Grandma makes fun of me, I won't tell you anymore." Dugu Feng acted coquettishly.
"Okay, okay. Grandma won't say it." You Chuhong stopped laughing, and then her face gradually became serious. "Feng'er, Grandma asked you if you like him."
"Grandma..." Dugu Feng shouted and lowered her head shyly.
"Since you like him, you have to know something." Seeing what You Chuhong said seemed to be serious, Dugu Feng raised his head, while Dugu Wen pricked his ears aside. "According to what you said just now, Li Jiancheng will be an extraordinary person in the future. If you want to be with him, you must have enough ability, otherwise people may not look down on you."
"But, people don't like reading!" Dugu Feng was a little panicked.
"Haha, it's not that serious. You don't like reading, you can practice martial arts!" You Chuhong smiled again. "Grandma passes on your lifelong skills to you, so you will have the capital to be with him in the future."
"Okay! Grandma, I'll listen to you." Dugu Feng looked determined.
"Haha, grandma used to ask you to practice martial arts with me, but you refused. Now I finally agreed for the sake of my lover." You Chuhong teased again, then turned his head to Dugu Wen with expectant face and said, "You will also follow Feng'er in the future. Although your qualifications are not very good, it is still OK." Dugu Wen agreed with joy.
Speaking of which, Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin and Li Yuanji returned home.
"You little brat, you go out to play every day, that's fine. You even took your brothers to a restaurant to drink, and even fought with people. You are becoming more and more capable. I'm so angry." Li Jiancheng, who just arrived home, welcomed his mother's invasion like a storm.
"I know I'm wrong. Please forgive me, my mother, who is wise and magical, and her beauty and wisdom." Although she was taught a lesson, Li Jiancheng was not angry. On the contrary, he was a little happy. No one cared about him in his previous life, but in this life he finally had his mother come to care about him. Tears flashed faintly in the corners of his eyes.
"Okay, okay! Look, the child is crying." Li Yuan thought Li Jiancheng was scolded and cried, but he didn't know that he was surrounded by the feeling of happiness.
"You little brat, you can flatter. This time I forgive you for your help. I'm not polite to do this next time." Although it was a lesson, Dou Xian's face was filled with a smile.
"Okay, okay. It's getting late. Hurry up and let the children rest." Li Yuan still came out to mediate. In fact, it's not too late now. It may be around 6 or 7 o'clock in the previous life, but where did the electricity come from in this era? They use candles, so they rest very early in this era, except for some people who work at night.
The family had finished their meal happily, while Li Jiancheng returned to his bedroom. He lay in bed and couldn't sleep, and was still thinking about the great cause of making money.
"Knock, knock..." A very gentle knock on the door came. "Who else is here to find me now? It's not that my mother is here again." While thinking about it, Li Jiancheng quickly ran to open the door.
"Ah..." Li Jiancheng, who had just started to scream, was blocked. A man in a night clothes blocked his mouth with his hands.
"Little brother, don't panic, I have no malice. I let go of my hand, and then you listen to me and nod if you understand, know?" The man in black said, and when he saw him nodded, he let go of his hand, staring at his mouth, and once he found that there was a tendency to scream, he would immediately block it.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Li Jiancheng asked calmly although he was a little scared.
"I don't have much time, so I can only talk about it for a long time." The man in black said this and stopped for a moment and continued, "I am a descendant of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. Yang Jian planned my country, so I wanted to enter the palace to assassinate, but I was not good at learning skills and failed to assassinate. Instead, I was poisoned and my internal organs were broken. But before I escaped, I stole a martial arts secret book from the treasury and handed it to you. I hope you can use this book to overthrow the Yang country and avenge me. You can make a poisonous oath!"
Seeing the man in black who was about to take action if you didn't agree, Li Jiancheng agreed with great grief, but in fact he was very happy inside. The Sui Dynasty was destroyed not long after, and he could get a martial arts secret book out of thin air. Why not do it? Seeing Li Jiancheng making a poisonous oath, the man in black gave him the secret book.
"The pursuers are not far away. Even if they die, I will not fall into their hands. You must remember your oath, otherwise I will not let you go even if I become a ghost!" The man in black said something and jumped away, and then he heard someone shouting: "Catch the assassin, give a reward of a thousand taels, and enfeoff the Marquis of Ten Thousand Houses..." The voice gradually stopped.
