Li Xia lit a purple eggplant and turned her head to look at Li Wenlan. Li Wenlan nodded, "This is Purple Eggplant Sister."

  "Sister Qing."

  "Little Red."

  "Little Cui."

  ……

  "Third Auntie Shen!"

  Li Xia pointed one by one, and Li Wenlan took turns to repeat the names of all the servants that Mrs. Yan had just introduced.

  Mrs. Yans two eyebrows rose in surprise, these two children are really unforgettable! Old Three has actually raised such a rare pair of children, its truly enviable!

  "Nine sister is really clever!" Seven girls palms were almost red, Four girls tilted her head to look at Li Xia, then looked at Li Wenlan, and pouted.

  ………………

  The front hall, Luo Shuai was indeed that Luo Shuai, and Gu Gongzi was naturally also that Gu Gongzi.

  Master Li Xuechang, the old master of Yongning Manor, is 44 years old this year. Because he takes good care of himself, he looks about the same age as his younger brother Li Xueming, but Master Li is actually only 35 years old!

  Li He was originally known for his humility and kindness, now that he is in a prosperous career and feeling proud of himself, he is even more so, being as still as a mountain when not speaking, and speaking and acting like a spring breeze brushing against ones face.

  Li Wenshan stood behind his father with his hands hanging down, looking at the old gentleman who was leaning on a couch in the west, and then at his uncle and Luo Shuai who were sitting opposite his father, feeling very casual. He couldnt help but look at his father again, who looked stiff and uncomfortable, and he couldnt describe the taste in his heart.

  I heard that the second uncle of the capital is also famous for his good manners, if Father were also the eldest son of the Bo Mansion, he would not be as restrained and awkward as he is now...

  "Its been many years since you brothers met, right? Its a rare meeting, but weve disturbed it." Luo Shuai said with a smile as he sized up Li Lao Ye and Li Chuo.

  "To be honest with you, its because youre coming that I specially told Old Three to come over today." Li Qiao pointed at his younger brother Li Xueming and smiled.

  "I like Zi Ming just like that! Straightforward and to the point, no beating around the bush!" Mr. Gu said with a smile, pointing at Li Chuo with his fan, Zi Ming being Li Chuos courtesy name.

  "My younger brother was exceptionally intelligent since childhood, but he had a stubborn temper. After passing the imperial examination to become a scholar, he suddenly decided to teach and educate people, giving up on becoming a high-ranking official. He went to Taiyuan Prefecture and became a teacher, doing so for over a decade. During these years, I dont know how many times I advised him, but now he has finally come around and is willing to do something. I am both relieved and worried, worried that his bookish temper will not be adaptable in local politics. Fortunately, this Xiangshan County is under the governance of Brother Luo!"

  Li Chuo said with a loud laugh, Luo Shuai pointed at him with his hand and laughed: "Good you Li Ziming! Youve got me figured out!"

  Mr. Li hesitated for a moment, then stood up and bowed deeply to Luo Shuai, "I will definitely keep my duty and do my best."

  "Good, good, good!" Luo Shuai stroked his mustache, but the gaze he directed at Old Master Li was filled with an inexplicable meaning. Gu Xiansheng glanced at Old Master Li and chuckled: "Zi Ming, your younger brother is quite different from you."

  Before Li Chuo could respond, a hurried and forceful footsteps came from outside. The three people who were either sitting or lying down quickly got up, subconsciously tidied their clothes, and went out together to greet whoever it was.

  Mr. Li, who had not yet sat back down, was suddenly bewildered, but fortunately he wasnt too foolish and knew that someone of great importance must have arrived, so he hastily followed behind to welcome them, taking two steps before remembering his son, turning around to see that Li Wenshan was already closely following behind him.

  More than a dozen tall and slender attendants, with agile movements, came in first, standing like nails at each important spot. Behind them were over ten green-clad young servants, who stood from the steps of the main hall to the entrance of the main hall.

  The crowd had already welcomed the steps down, under the protection of a dozen or so attendants in different brocade clothes, four or five noble young men came in laughing and talking.

  The young man in front, with a humble and courteous demeanor, walked along the edge of the road, his body slightly tilted. He was sixteen or seventeen years old, handsome and elegant, bearing six or seven parts resemblance to Li Chuo Si. This should be Li Chuo Sis son, Fourth Young Master Li Wen Song.

  Following behind Li Wensong, although also walking on the side of the road, the young mans demeanor was very casual and at ease, looking even more handsome than Li Wensong. His clothes were luxurious and his accessories were exquisite, his face looked similar to Mr. Gus by about 40-50%.

  Behind the two, a young boy of only ten years old was surrounded by everyone in the middle. He wore a pale blue temple robe with a sheep fat jade belt around his waist and his hair was tied up with a white jade pin. The boys lips were red and his teeth were white, his eyes were like dots of ink, it couldnt be said that there was anything special about him, but at first glance, he could make people feel a sense of reverence, the several extremely outstanding handsome boys surrounding him, compared to him, were all inferior.

  The young man slightly tilted his head, speaking to the indigo-clad youth who was half a step behind him on his left. The indigo-clad youths expression was focused and stern, occasionally glancing around, exuding an aura of sharpness that made ones heart skip a beat.

  The young man at the back was about ten years old, tall and slender, with a face so beautiful it was eerie. He wore white clothes that seemed to shine like snow, and walked with his hands behind his back, looking around casually. His demeanor was relaxed and unrestrained, and he had a black cloth bag tied around his waist, which occasionally bulged up and down, as if it contained some living creature.

  Li Wenshans mouth was agape, he was completely stunned. This group of people was simply too amazing!

  "The young master has returned. Does the spring scenery of Niu Shou Mountain still have some meaning?" Luo Shuai Si Ying stood at the front, and with a deep bow, he saluted the youth respectfully.

  "Whats so good about it!" A young man who looked very much like Mr. Guo chimed in, "Famous only in name! Not as nice as the flowers and grasses in the back garden of the Imperial Academy!"

  "Xiao Gu, dont talk nonsense. The scenery is not bad, its worthy of being the first spring cow." The young master in the middle, with a folding fan in his hand, tapped Xiao Gus shoulder and smiled like a blooming lotus flower.

  The crowd parted to either side, and the young gentleman entered the main hall, walking straight up to the head seat. The servant boys and girls came in and out like a flowing stream, bringing in warm towels, clear water, fragrant tea, and all sorts of pastries.

  In the grand main hall, except for the young master sitting at the top, everyone else stood with their hands down. Li Wenshan couldnt help but glance at the young master from time to time, and his heart was shocked to the extreme. Who is this? Even Luo Shuai and Da Bo, such high-ranking officials, had to stand with their hands down in front of him.

  "Please sit down, no need for formalities." The young man rinsed his hands and gestured with a smile.

  Luo Shuai and Li Cao sat in their original positions, Mr. Gu sat back on the western couch, but the indigo-clad youth sat at the head of Mr. Gus seat, Xiao Gu stood behind Mr. Gu, while the white-clad young man with a snowy complexion stood behind the young master with his hands behind his back.

  Mr. Li sat back in his original position, which was at the very bottom, and Li Wenshan stood behind him with his hands hanging down.

  "These two..." The young master pointed with his folding fan at Old Man Li and Li Wenshan.
