A day later, Yang Cheng, Li Manor.
The Li family was one of the top families in the entire Yang City.
The entire mansion was 8000 square meters in size. The decorative stones were all made of high-quality granite. It looked retro and dignified.
The carriage stopped outside the gate of the Li Residence.
After the servant stopped the carriage, he jumped down from the driver's seat and placed a wooden stool on the empty space to the right of the carriage door.
"Young Master, we're home!"
A long leg in black trousers slowly stretched out from the carriage curtain.
"Da!" The handmade Italian leather shoes made a crisp sound when they collided with the wooden stool.
The curtain was pulled open. Li Chongguang, who was dressed in a black suit and had a handsome face, stepped out of the carriage with the help of his personal servant.
Wang Feng nodded in satisfaction as he looked at the dignified yet elegant gate of the Li Residence.
The two servants had been waiting outside the door for a long time. When they saw Wang Feng, they immediately nodded and bowed."Young Master, please!"
Wang Feng smiled at the two of them, nodded, and pushed open the door.
"Young Master, please!"
There were also four servants standing inside the door. When they saw Wang Feng, they immediately bowed and said.
Due to the aftereffects of being a soldier, Wang Feng looked at the decorations in the house as he walked. From the door to the hall, the front yard was a hundred meters long. Every five meters, there would be a different tree on both sides, a total of forty trees.
"Dong dong dong, qiang, dong, qiang"
The sudden sound gave Wang Feng a fright. Then, the red, white, and black three-headed lions ran out from the inner side of the hall.
No, to be exact, it was the three teams of lion dancers.
The visitor danced a lion dance in the front yard and circled around Wang Feng a few times.
The lion dance team led by Red took off the lion head. The lion head was a burly man in a white short shirt.
The brawny man pointed at Wang Feng and laughed. Brat, do you still remember me?"
Then, he threw away the lion head in his left hand and put it on Wang Feng's shoulder. He continued,"When I was young, you loved my lion dance the most! Hahaha."
Speaking of lion dance, Wang Feng remembered what Li Yutang had told him. In the entire Li Residence, only his uncle, Cao Sande, liked lion dance the most.
"Uncle! How could I not recognize him? How have you been these past few years?”
"Alright, it's just that you're not here, kid, so there's no one to accompany me in the lion dance.”Cao Sande laughed.
Li Yutang walked out of the inner courtyard and shouted,""Third Virtue."
"Haha! It's brother-in-law!"
"What are you doing?" Li Yutang asked seriously.”
"Ah! We're here to celebrate the old lady's birthday! Brother-in-law, we have a witch over there who is very accurate. She said that there must be a sound device in front and behind the old lady's house. This way, it can ward off evil spirits.”
"The old lady just fell asleep," Li Yutang scolded.”
"Chongguang, follow me to burn incense to our ancestors.”
Following behind Li Yutang, they finally arrived at the Li Family's ancestral hall after ten minutes.
Kneeling under the memorial tablets of the Li Clan's ancestors, Wang Feng muttered,""Ancestors of the Li Clan, from today onwards, I will be the current Li Chongguang. I will do my best to protect my father and the Li Clan and not let them be harmed.”
After offering the incense, Li Chongguang walked up to Li Yutang and said,""Father, I want to ask you to bring me around the Li family. After all, I don't remember anything now.”
Li Yutang looked at the pocket watch on his chest and said,""Alright, now that the old lady has just fallen asleep, I'll take this opportunity to bring you around. When the old lady wakes up, go over and pay her respects immediately.”
After that, Li Yutang and Li Chongguang spent an hour walking through the pavilion, garden, backyard, kitchen, living room, study, servant's room, and the entire Li Residence.
This Li Residence is too big. Fortunately, it's me. If it were anyone else, they might not remember such a big place.
It turned out that in Wang Feng's previous life's military training, his coach wanted them to be able to retreat quickly and safely when they were on a mission.
He taught them how to quickly memorize the terrain.
This was also one of the reasons why Wang Feng was able to retreat unscathed when he went on missions in the future.
"Alright, Old Madam, you should be awake soon. Follow me to pay your respects to Old Madam!”Li Yutang patted Li Chongguang's shoulder and said.
After spending another ten minutes, Li Chongguang followed Li Yutang to the old lady's room. He pushed the door open and entered. Good heavens, men, women, old, young, and a whole family were all gathered here.
"Xia He, how is Old Furen?”Li Yutang grabbed the old madam's personal maid and asked as soon as he entered the room.
Xia He was Old Furen's personal maid. She was 18 years old and looked very smart and lively. She was deeply favored by the old lady.
It could be said that in the entire Li Residence, other than the Master, she was the one with the most power.
"Old Furen has been unconscious and has been mumbling Young Master Chongguang's name.”
After hearing Xia He's words, Li Yutang pushed Li Chongguang and motioned for him to go and see the old lady.
Li Chongguang nodded at Li Yutang and walked to the bed. He looked at the old woman lying on the bed. She had gray hair and a kind face. She must have been a beauty when she was young. Time had left wrinkles on her face.
Perhaps it was because of his illness, Bai Se was very pale. The old man kept his eyes open and kept muttering,""Chongguang, Chongguang".
Li Chongguang sat at the head of the bed and held the old man's hand. Suddenly, a feeling of blood connection welled up in his heart.
For some reason, tears suddenly welled up in her eyes and flowed down uncontrollably. She said,"Grandma, Chongguang is back. Wake up quickly!”
Things did not go as he had hoped. He had thought that Li Chongguang would be able to wake the old lady up when he returned, but no matter how much he called her, the old lady did not seem to be getting better. Was he really going to help the old lady with her funeral?
Li Yutang shook his head and walked out of the door in disappointment.
At the same time, in the Temple of the Grand Deity.
"Speaking of which, this General's Mansion is a little too much. After all, it was built fifty years ago. We can't possibly tear it down, right?”Zhaoxin, the governor of eastern Guangdong Province, sat in the lower seat and looked at Tieshan Dao, who was sitting in the upper seat.
"Servants, the beauties have all been dismissed. The furniture and furnishings are all old things from the yamen. When Lord Tie goes over in the future, won't it be more convenient to do official business?”Qu Zhaoxin took a sip of tea and continued.
"Fifty years ago, General Mu Ke Rong of Yang City and Governor Bai Gui of Yang City created the General's Mansion together."
Then, the two suffered a great defeat and surrendered to the Anglo-French coalition forces.
Two years later, both of them were beheaded and their families confiscated by the Imperial Court! The lessons of Yin were not far away! I'll stay here! Quiet! Clean!"
After hearing Tie Shan's words, Qu Zhaoxin thought, It just so happens that I'm not willing to entertain you, so I'll save you the trouble.
However, he smiled and said,"Hehe! Then I'll accept your offer."
"Speaking of official business, the new army of Yang Cheng has always been in charge of Lord Futai, right?”Tie Shan changed the topic, trying to find out something.
" Aiya, I'll be recruiting for you for now. Now that Lord Tie is here, I can relax." Qu Zhaoxin was also an old fox, and he didn't leave any evidence behind.
"Haha, no, no, no. The new armies in the provinces are all under the responsibility of Lord Futai. This humble one is only responsible for patrolling and supervising. According to the imperial court's intention, two towns would be established in eastern Guangdong tomorrow, but now there was only one and a half mixed association, less than a quarter.”
Tie Shan's tone suddenly became tough as he spoke. There was a hint of interrogation in his words.
Qu Zhaoxin pretended to be wronged,""I want to practice more too, but I don't have enough money!”
Tie Shan looks at Tie Gang who is standing on the side and nods to him. Tie Gang takes out a roll of names of officials in Eastern Guangdong from the hands of the Qing soldiers outside the door and puts it in front of Tie Shan.
Tie Shan picked up the top book, patted the dust off the book and said: "Actually, the number of people is secondary. The key is still the quality. This is the first association, the first target roster. I casually flipped through the list of ten people, but I only found six names.”
Tie Shan cast a glance at Qu Zhaoxin, whose eyes flickered as he continued: "Two of them are on long-term sick leave at home. There were also two people whose direct superiors had not met them before. Who were they?”
Before Tie Shan could finish his words, Qu Zhaoxin pretended to be angry and slammed the table with a 'scared' sound. He stood up and said,"I can't believe there's such a thing. I'll definitely investigate it thoroughly.”
