The Name of Eternity

The servants at the courtyard gate saw Li Hao and saluted quickly, knowing that this young master was deeply loved by the eldest lady.

At this time, the bright moon has just appeared and the stars are mottled.

The Chinese lanterns in the courtyard were first turned on, and in the main hall of the main house, warm lights shone through the window screens, and laughter could be heard from inside. It seemed like a happy gathering.

Uncle Zhao and Qingzhi followed Li Hao to the outside of the main hall, stopped in front of the steps, and stood with their hands down. They would wait here for the dinner to end. They would be called in if ordered.

The rules of the Li family are strict, and these servants dare not break the rules easily.

In the main hall.

As soon as Li Hao walked in, he saw an eye-catching figure of a strange girl.

She looks about sixteen years old, just the age when she is in bud.

But the girl is about 1.7 meters tall. Her figure is slim and slender, her eyes are as clear as a frost lake, and she has a calmness that others of her age do not possess.

Vaguely, Li Hao could still see a little of the pebbled cheek curves on his face as a child, but now that the girl has grown up, the contours of her cheeks are more delicate and beautiful, like a flower about to spread.

She was wearing an oyster white dress, which was pure and elegant. The pleats of the dress shimmered like crystals, and although the overall style was casual and casual, it looked extremely expensive at first glance. Coupled with the girl's cool temperament, it looked like she had never worn it. A fairy walking out of the mist.

Obviously, this is Li Wushuang.

In addition, Li Hao also saw brother and sister Li Yun and Li Zhining sitting next to his cousin who had been away for many years.

But at this moment, they all lowered their eyebrows and put their hands on their laps. Both brothers and sisters had silly smiles on their faces. Amidst the praises and laughter of the adults, their eyes occasionally turned to the eldest sister beside them. .

That figure, as bright as a pearl, filled their eyes with hope and light, with envy and joy.

This appearance reminded Li Hao of how they behaved exactly the same way when they first came to Shanheyuan five years ago and listened to stories with their little hands on their cheeks in front of him.

"As expected of Shuang'er, he reached the realm of divine movement at a young age and traveled to the divine realm at the age of fifteen. With such qualifications, he is already among the top geniuses. It is extremely promising to enter the three immortals in his lifetime."

The ninth lady, Jiang Xian'er, who was sitting at the end of the lady's seat with her bun in a bun, whispered softly.

She is Jiulang Li, Li Junye's unmarried fiancée, and a princess of the royal family.

When Li Hao saw Jiuniang, he couldn't help but show a bit of solemn respect in his eyes.

Jiuniang is the youngest among the ladies, she is only thirty-two this year. I heard from the second master that when she was a child, Jiuniang came to the Li family for some time for some reason, and she met Uncle Jiu at that time.

The two were considered childhood sweethearts and separated when they grew up. However, Uncle Jiu later met Jiu Niang again when he was wandering around the outside world and experiencing life in the world. They began to fall in love with each other and made a private commitment for life.

Uncle Jiu was extremely talented and was also the true dragon of the Li family of the previous generation, so His Majesty Emperor Yu did not stop the marriage and promised the two to get married.

Unfortunately, the marriage was already scheduled, but Uncle Jiu wanted to build a successful career before the wedding, and then marry Jiuniang in a glamorous manner. Unexpectedly, he joined the army for only two years, but died on the battlefield, causing the marriage to come to an abrupt end when the wedding day was approaching. It's a pity and a sigh of relief.

Originally, Uncle Jiu was dead, so the marriage was naturally abandoned.

You can't let a royal princess remain a widow, right?

But this Jiuniang was very affectionate and said that she would only marry Jiulang of the Li family for the rest of her life.

So, after she had a big fight with the emperor who held the world in his hands in the palace, she finally came to Qingzhou, held Uncle Jiu's clothes and armor, completed the marriage that the man had failed to fulfill, and became a Jiuniang of the Li family.

This good story is also well known in Qingzhou.

In the palace, all the ladies respected Jiuniang Jiang Xianer, including the second master and the fifth master, when they mentioned the royal princess, they were full of love. This had nothing to do with status, it was just the friendship.

When Li Hao first heard about the incident from the second master, he was also filled with emotion.

The carriages and horses of this era are very slow, and there is only enough time to love one person in a lifetime.

A lifetime is only enough to remember one person.

Unlike his time, you could change your mind eighty times in one night by just sliding your little hand upwards.

"You're welcome, Jiuniang." Li Wushuang smiled lightly at Jiang Xian'er.

She didn't show any pretense towards others, but she also had deep respect for Uncle Jiu's lover.

"Hao'er is here."

At this time, He Jianlan, who was sitting in the middle of the lobby, saw Li Hao. His originally smiling face showed more smiles, and he waved:

"Quick, come and sit."

At this time, others also noticed Li Hao. Jiang Xianer glanced back and smiled at Li Hao, quite kindly.

Li Hao also smiled back. Over the years, he had come into contact with the ladies of various hospitals, and only the eldest lady and this ninth lady were the ones who made him feel most at ease and comfortable.

When he walked to the table, he saw that there were already two plates of delicacies on the table that he had asked Yuan Zhao to buy. Li Hao smiled and immediately handed the gift box in his hand to his cousin:

"I heard that Sister Wushuang is back, so I specially prepared some small gifts. I hope my cousin likes them."

Li Wushuang's eyes passed over the gift box, and he reached out to take it, with a calm expression on his face: "Thank you very much."

With that said, he handed the gift box to the gift table at the back.

Liu Yuerong, who was sitting next to He Jianlan, had sharp eyes and said with a smile: "Shuang'er, why don't you take a look at what Hao'er gave you. Apart from food, Hao'er has never given anything to anyone in these years."

He Jianlan said calmly: "We don't lack anything. The delicacies Hao'er gave us were all made by him. This is the most precious thing."

"That's true." Liu Yuerong smiled and nodded.

Jiang Xian'er turned to look at Li Hao and said with a smile: "Hao'er, come and sit down. It's been a long time since I've eaten the pastries you made."

"If Jiuniang likes it, I will make it for you tomorrow." Li Hao took the opportunity to sit down and said with a smile.

When the two of them were talking, Li Wushuang frowned slightly. He was originally not interested, but since Er Niang spoke like this, if he didn't open it and take a look, it seemed that he didn't care too much.

She casually opened the gift box and saw the porcelain vase and dragon horn comb inside.

Sure enough, it was these vulgar things. Li Wushuang shook his head secretly, not even interested, so he closed it.

But Liu Yuerong chuckled and said, "Hao'er is really thoughtful. This dragon horn comb is exquisitely made, but it took a lot of thought. I wonder what's in the porcelain vase?"

"Forging God Pill."

Li Hao also smiled at her and said.

Li Wushuang raised his eyebrows slightly, closed the gift box, put it on the gift table next to him, and said calmly: "Do you think I need to use this elixir?"

Although the voice was soft, it suddenly made the atmosphere feel much cooler.

This sentence is difficult to accept.

need? Doesn't that make it clear that she has poor qualifications and needs to rely on pills.

unnecessary? Then why did you send it here?

Li Hao was stunned for a moment, and then felt helpless.

Sure enough, giving gifts is a troublesome thing.

"Shuang'er."

The fifth wife, Gao Qingqing, saw that her child's tone was wrong. It was a family dinner to celebrate him, so she naturally didn't want anything unpleasant to happen. She smiled and softened her words:

"Hao'er is also kindhearted. You haven't seen each other for many years, and he doesn't know what you like. I think this dragon horn comb is very good. As for the elixir, you can keep it if you don't need it."

Li Yun, who was originally very well-behaved, suddenly became a little arrogant when he saw Li Hao appear. He seemed to feel a little ashamed to show such a well-behaved posture in front of Li Hao.

Seeing that Li Hao seemed to be in embarrassment, he immediately leaned back tactically, imitating Li Hao's usual indifferent expression, and hummed softly:

"Li Hao, do you know that my sister is a ninth-level warrior, a top genius! She doesn't need the help of pills at all. Taking pills will harm her. Are you looking down on my sister?"

After saying that, he looked at Li Hao proudly. Now that he has the support of his eldest sister, he is no longer afraid of Li Hao.

Where did the stupid son of a landowner come from... Li Hao glanced at him speechlessly. This dinner was held for your sister. If I lose face now, it will be your sister who is ugly and not me, silly boy.

Sure enough, after hearing Li Yun's words, Gao Qingqing's expression suddenly changed slightly, and she hurriedly grabbed Li Yun's back. They were all members of the same family, and there was even a sister-in-law here, so she couldn't embarrass others on the surface.

Li Yun was pinched in pain. He looked up and saw a look of anger in his mother's eyes. Mother and son knew each other well, and he immediately knew that he seemed to have done something wrong.

But, what did I do wrong?

Am I not telling the truth?

When Li Yun was stunned, Li Hao smiled slightly, and naturally he would not get angry because of this. Of course, he would not explain anything nervously.

"My cousin doesn't need such elixirs, but if my cousin may need it, you can leave it to him."

Li Hao said with a half-smile, "As for that comb, my cousin doesn't like it too? Then I'll give it to sister Zhining."

Li Wushuang's face darkened. How could she not hear the sarcasm in Li Hao's words and think her brother was not good enough?

"What do you mean?"

She said directly that she didn't like to talk in circles. As for any face issues, she didn't care.

"Cousin, didn't you hear clearly?"

Li Hao pretended to be surprised, wondering why the two siblings seemed to be a little careless?

Li Wushuang narrowed his eyes slightly and was about to have an attack, but Gao Qingqing coughed and interrupted in time, saying:

"Shuang'er, Hao'er is still young and doesn't know your situation. It's a good intention to give you the God-casting Pill. Why are you so weird with your cousin?"

Jiang Xian'er, who was sitting next to Li Hao, smiled sweetly and said, "Shuang'er, if you don't like it, I'll make it up for Hao'er later."

"Yes, Shuang'er, Hao'er also cares about me no matter what." Liu Yuerong quickly comforted her.

Li Wushuang stared at Li Hao and said nothing. He just put the gift box away and put it on the gift shelf behind him.

At this time, there was a sound of footsteps approaching from outside, and then Li Yuanzhao's voice was heard: "Brother Hao."

Li Hao turned around and saw Siniang and Yuan Zhao arriving.

Hearing Li Yuanzhao's cry, Xiao Yujing's calm mood became angry again. You brat, who did you call first when you entered the house? Those who didn't know would have thought you were here to celebrate Li Hao!

She was angry, but there were many people in the main hall, and she couldn't discipline her in public, so she had to walk up quickly and said with a smile:

"Sisters and sisters, I'm late. Are these twins? Oh, I haven't seen you for several years, and now you are so tall and beautiful in the blink of an eye. Qingqing, you really gave birth to a good daughter."

A few words livened up the atmosphere, diverted everyone's attention, and covered up Li Yuanzhao's impoliteness.

Li Hao was sitting at the table with a smile on his face. These ladies are not economical lamps.

Li Yuanzhao said hello to Li Hao. The two brothers exchanged glances and knew that the previous incident had not caused any misunderstanding. Li Yuanzhao felt relieved and handed the gift to Li Wushuang with a smile.

"What is this?" Liu Yuerong asked with interest.

"Cousin, you'll know when you open it and take a look." Li Yuanzhao didn't know what his mother put inside, but he was not stupid and said with a smile.

Li Wushuang frowned, feeling a little helpless, but he still opened it and took a look, and it turned out to be a sharp dagger.

"It's actually the famous dagger 'Hanxiang'!"

Gao Qingqing recognized it immediately, but looked at Xiao Yujing in surprise: "Fourth sister-in-law, this is a famous magic weapon. I heard that it can pierce the body of the three immortal demon kings."

Xiao Yujing smiled and said, "This is Yuanzhao's intention. As long as Shuang'er likes it, it's fine."

Gao Qingqing came back to her senses and said to her daughter, "Thank you, cousin."

Li Wushuang's eyes also showed some light. He liked this dagger very much. Although she used a sword, she still had another hand.

Carrying it with you, in close combat, when the sword cannot be used, the dagger is like a short sword, which is extremely convenient.

"Thank you, cousin."

She looked gentle and thanked softly.

Li Yuanzhao waved his hand and smiled, and then sat next to Li Hao.

Not long after, the remaining three wives and eight wives also arrived one after another, and soon everyone was together.

He Jianlan knew that Li Wushuang did not like crowds when he first returned to the mansion, so she did not let the concubines from the various courtyards come. Therefore, all the people present were direct descendants. Although there were not many people, it was more to Li Wushuang's liking.

In addition to the wives, Li Wushuang's father, Li Xuanli, also came back from the Zen meditation mountain deep in the mansion.

He looked to be in his forties, with a kind of elegant temperament. He was seriously injured on the battlefield many years ago, but fortunately, compared with other brothers, he was still able to escape unscathed.

It was not easy to escape from the mouth of a monster with serious injuries, because the Li family's sons were usually the existence of concentrated hunting by big monsters on the battlefield. Once injured, they would be attacked crazily by monsters.

After all, the Li family has guarded the border for many years, killed countless monsters, and accumulated countless grievances.

For the monster clan, the four major generals' mansions except the Wang family are the deadly enemies of the monster clan, and they wish they could eat their flesh, drink their blood, and sleep on their skins!
