The wind

Li Yunwei saw that his younger sister valued this young master so much, so he naturally didn't dare to neglect, and hurriedly went to settle in Li Zhongnan's residence in the mansion.The horse was also taken care of by a servant.

The two entered the gate, only to hear Li Yunwei say: "Are you really my starling?" Then with a wave of his hand, a guard stood beside Li Zhongnan and held up an umbrella for him.

"Of course." Li Zhongnan caught a glimpse of the guard from the corner of his eye. He had a face of a foreign race, with abnormal signs, and his strong physique revealed his excellent martial arts. He was a real trainer.

"Don't bother this big brother, I'll do it myself." After saying that, he reached out to take the umbrella, but the guard remained motionless, with a cold light in his eyes.

"Dan Ti, don't be unreasonable." The guard handed over the umbrella after hearing what Li Yunwei said.

Li Yunwei glared at the guard angrily, and said to Li Zhongnan: "Then why are you not a Yun character? You can just sue me directly, and you don't need to tell me those reasons." Some backs are cold, and now they are curious and a little afraid of this inexplicably extra starling.

"My original name is Li Yunshi, and I belong to the generation of Yun." Li Zhongnan said patiently, "My biological mother is Mrs. You. My mother had a difficult labor when she gave birth to me, and almost killed her. But when I was born, I didn't cry. Father thought I was dead, but was rescued by an expert passing by. In order to thank that person for saving his life, he asked that expert to name me. Hence the word 'Zhongnan' came into being. Although I It is to save a life, but the body is still very weak, I am my mother's first son, so naturally my father cherishes it more."

Li Zhongnan paused for a moment, sighed, and continued, "Later, father sent me to a very famous sect, where there was a doctor with very good medical skills, so I learned from my master while raising my body there." Some tricks. My father and mother would visit me every now and then, but after my mother’s health deteriorated, they went less often.” Seeing that Li Yunwei was still a little skeptical, and then caught a glimpse of a group of attendants staring at him behind him, he sighed : "If you ask your brothers and sisters, they all know about it."

"Then why didn't you live in Li's residence, why haven't I seen you?" Li Yunwei asked again.

"Of course I lived there. Ten years ago, you were still young, so you can't remember." Li Zhongnan looked around again, "Although I haven't been back to Jinling this year, I lived in Li's Mansion in the capital for a while. .”

"That's not my family, it's meaningless." Li Yunwei's words were full of disdain, "Then since you haven't been able to come back for ten years, why are you returning home all of a sudden?"

Li Zhongnan naturally thought that not only Li Yunwei, but also everyone in the Li family would have this question when he returned to the mansion, so he said: "I am ashamed to say. I have been wandering outside for many years and I can't help myself. I studied in that sect. Naturally, I belonged to that faction, and I naturally wanted to go home after I got over what happened outside."

"That's it." Li Yunwei felt that there was some truth to it, "I've heard about the big and small rules of the Jianghu sect, so go ahead."

Li Zhongnan sighed again: "Later... I will tell you about what happened later, okay?" Li Zhongnan's voice was gentle, and Li Yunwei couldn't stop nodding his head, making Li Zhongnan more and more credible.

"Did dad never tell you about these things?"

"That's right, Dad never told me. He is too busy, I rarely see him." Li Yunwei's voice unconsciously carried a hint of melancholy.

"Here, Starling." The two walked along the courtyard of the Li Mansion for a while, and Li Yunwei finally stopped, pointing to a wing room, "You can live here."

Looking in the direction of Li Yunwei's finger, I saw a plaque with the inscription "Qiu Shui Pavilion".

"I used to live in a private room, why didn't I see it when I came all the way here?"

"Is there a living room?" Li Yunwei was taken aback, and then sighed deeply, "It's really unfortunate that the courtyard suddenly ran out of water a few days ago, and it happened that there was a living room. Myna wanted to live in it but Can't do it."

"Youxuanshi is gone, but the maid called Feilai is still in this mansion?"

"I've never heard of this name. I'll ask someone to ask."

Seeing Li Zhongnanruo's indifferent expression, Li Yunwei thought he was displeased, and hurriedly said: "This house is also very good, this is the room where my aunt used to live, if you are really my aunt's son, daddy and sixth brother would not be happy if they knew about it. will blame."

Li Zhongnan nodded slightly, and thanked Li Yunwei while looking up at the plaque. After a while, he said quietly: "Father really loves my mother so dearly."

"How do you know?"

"There are beautiful people to talk about, and the autumn water is separated from the beauty." Li Zhongnan said softly, seeing Li Yunwei's blank face, he smiled and said, "What? Your Mr. Absolute Beauty never told you about it?"

"No, neither father nor husband ever said that."

Seeing that he was very interested, Li Zhongnan said again: "Doesn't Dad seldom mention aunt to you?"

"Yes." Li Yunwei nodded, "My mother told me not to mention it in front of dad, and if dad doesn't mention it, then don't say it."

"Have you seen Madam?"

"Yes, my aunt is fine." Li Yunwei became excited, and her voice became higher, "Seeing that I was feeling cold, my aunt asked the kitchen to make ginger juice for me, and ordered someone to sew me new clothes."

Li Zhongnan listened, his eyes also glowed with warmth, the Li family has many heirs, it is not easy to run the Li family, it is rare that his mother still remembers these children.

"Fifth brother, why don't you take me to see auntie's memorial tablet?"

"Okay, starling." As soon as Li Yunwei answered, Li Yunwei saw Li Zhongnan's haggard face——Li Yunwei could only see it clearly now that he was closer. Li Zhongnan's face was so pale that it reflected his shocking eyes. The white clothes had already been covered with the wind and dust along the way, Li Yunwei subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the mud from Li Zhongnan's cuff, but Li Zhongnan dodged it without a trace, Li Yunwei was startled, feeling a little rude, and hurriedly said, "Brother , you rest first, I will send a few maidservants over to change your clothes. Then I raised my hand and dismissed most of the maidservants and guards who followed behind.

"My fifteenth brother." Li Zhongnan straightened his cuffs and smiled at Li Yunwei.

Before everyone in Li's residence could accept it, Li Yunwei had already decided that Li Zhongnan was his starling, and didn't take the episode just now to heart at all.

Li Zhongnan caressed the flower-carved door of Qiushui Pavilion with his hand for a moment, pushed the door open, and the aroma hit him. He saw some styrax incense burning in the small incense burner on the ground, and a maidservant was half-kneeling and scooping up the incense crumbs. A fine puff of smoke.The furniture lined up in the room is quite old, but it can be seen that it is made of high-quality red sandalwood, and Li Yunwei said: "Myna, daddy ordered the servants to clean it every day. Everything here is new. You just stay here, if something doesn't suit you, just tell Yuying, if these servants can't do well, I'll ask someone to slap their mouths." Li Yunwei said while pointing to a servant girl beside him and said: "Yuying, this is Eighth Young Master, you take good care of me."

"Yes."

A maid bowed to Li Zhongnan, saluted, secretly raised her eyes to look at Li Zhongnan's face, Li Zhongnan smiled and said, "Your name is Yuying?"

Yuying immediately lowered her eyes in embarrassment, not daring to take another look, and timidly replied: "Back to Master Eighth, yes."

"Could it be that there are Cui Yu and Fang Zhi in this mansion?"

"That's right, Master Eighth." Yu Yingying said with a hint of joy in her tone, "Mr. Jueyan gave this to my servant."

Li Zhongnan raised the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "Mr. Jueyan is worthy of being a man of poetry and books, and his name is so unique." Turning to Li Yunwei, he said, "The wording just now is not appropriate, it is all endless. It was a false joke that hurt Mr. Jue Yan's face, if the fifteenth younger brother sees him and apologizes for me, I will apologize to him at another time."

"It's easy to say, I don't think my husband will care about these things."

Li Zhongnan smiled again, and after sitting down with Li Yunwei, he put the long box on his back on the table, asked the maid beside him to borrow a handkerchief, and wiped it carefully, Li Yunwei saw that Li Zhongnan was very fond of the object Heartbroken, I couldn't help asking: "Mynah, what is this?"

"This is mynah's sword."

"Isn't it the kind used by starlings to roam the rivers and lakes?"

Li Zhongnan smiled without saying a word, and continued to wipe off the water stains on the box.Li Yunwei was in this deep house, and except for going to Yingtian Academy on weekdays, he had never been involved in these things, but after all, he was young and vigorous, and he still longed for those happy grievances in the rivers and lakes.The children of the rich family who don't know the sufferings of the people seem to think that being called "Daxia Li" by the people is more important than the Tao Yi family they live in.

"Can my starling let me see!"

"Naturally, it's just..." Li Zhongnan paused, and met Li Yunwei's fascinated eyes, "This is my mother's former residence. It's not appropriate to have these evil things after all. Why don't you give it to me when the sky clears? How about dancing sword?"

Seeing that Li Zhongnan declined his request politely, Li Yunwei felt lost for a moment, but when he heard the word "evil thing", he must have seen blood before, so he couldn't help but feel a little timid, so he could only answer embarrassingly: "Okay."

During the conversation between the two, another servant girl brought hot dishes, hot soup and new clothes to Li Zhongnan one after another.After Li Zhongnan briefly consumed some food, he got up and went behind the screen in the room to change his clothes.Seeing that Li Zhongnan was going to change clothes, Li Yunwei got up by himself, and was about to leave the Qiushui Pavilion to wait for him. Just as he turned around and took a step, he heard Li Zhongnan say from behind, "Fifth brother, who is your biological mother?"

Li Yunwei had no choice but to turn her head and said, "It's the second lady."

"You and sixth brother...?"

"That's right, the biological mothers of Brother Six and I are both Second Wife."

"The ladies are all in this house?"

"Only my mother and third aunt and fifth aunt are here, and fourth aunt has returned to her mother's house in Jiangbei."

"If that's the case, then I'll see all the ladies after I have passed my birth mother." Li Zhongnan paused, and then asked, "When will Sixth Brother come back?"

"Sixth brother has been away for a while, I think he will come back within two days."

Seeing that Li Zhongnan no longer responded, Li Yunwei left the Qiushui Pavilion, and the servant girl behind him obediently closed the door.It was getting sunny outside, and the sunlight passed through the giant cypress, leaving mottled spots of light on Li Yunwei's hands.Li Yunwei couldn't help being dazed by the rays of light, so he walked towards the corridor not far away.As soon as he stood still, when he raised his eyes, he saw Dan Ti standing aside, his amber eyes filled with unknown emotions. Seeing this, Li Yunwei knew that he had "something" to say to him—of course he couldn't say it, because Dan Ti was a Dumb people.So he called him to the front to see what he was going to do.

Speaking of which, Xiao Zhouheng made himself unhappy early in the morning, and now he could only go back to the study in dismay and continue teaching the children.It's just that I stood at the door of the study for a long time without opening the door, and my anger just calmed down a bit, and now I'm afraid that those few words of Li Zhongnan may have caused some trouble.Furthermore, for letting strangers into the house so easily, I'm afraid that the Sixth Young Master Li Yunyi will definitely blame everyone when he returns.After thinking about it, I have no choice - I am still an outsider in Li's house, if I say one more sentence, I will become a hostile person, Xiao Zhouheng can only sigh softly, I only hope that Li Yunyi will come back soon and stop the loss in time Okay, so I opened the door and entered the study.

Looking up, he saw a man who was kneeling and helping three children grind ink.

The man also looked up at Xiao Zhouheng, immediately stood up and saluted, smiled back, and said, "I've seen Mr. Jueyan, I'm going downstairs and singing to the north."

The man was dressed in light casual clothes, wearing a jade crown, with handsome eyebrows and beautiful eyes. He had a young and good-looking face, and exuded an aura that should not be underestimated from head to toe.Xiao Zhouheng couldn't remember where he had heard this name before, and the man looked surprised, thinking that there was actually someone with a different surname besides himself in the deep house, and the clothes of that man didn't look like a servant.Xiao Zhouheng suddenly became suspicious, and couldn't confirm the identity of this person for a while, so he bowed his hands in return, and said: "Xiao Zhouheng, my Excellency..."

The man smiled again: "Wai Lang Lou Beiyin, a member of the criminal department, and Lu Hongqiu, the judge of Jiangning Mansion, Mr. Lu visited Li's Mansion yesterday. Unexpectedly, Mr. Li Yunyi was not at the mansion. I thought it would be inconvenient to chatter, but Mrs. Zeng kindly stayed overnight .”

As soon as Xiao Zhouheng heard that he was a Beijing official, he remembered that the high-spirited young man in front of him was actually the youngest number one scholar in my court, so he was about to salute, and Lou Beiyin hurriedly supported him: "No, no, early Mr. Wen knows everything well, and he has long wanted to ask for advice, and it is a great honor to meet you today."

"I dare not be ashamed. Mr. Lou is young but holds a high position. He is really the pillar of the country."

"The wing room where I live is not far from the study room. I heard whispers when I was walking just now, so I ventured to see what happened. Unexpectedly, this is the private school of the Li family. The eighteenth young master said that he was short of ink, so I helped the young master , I'm afraid it disturbed the order of the private school, please don't blame Mr. Jueyan."

"Don't dare, so, my lord has a heart, let the servants do this kind of work."

Li Yunwu was also very winking, seeing his teacher like this, he quickly got up and saluted.

"Don't dare, it's easy."

After the two of you came and I went back and forth, I thought that Lou Beiyin would leave, but the man stood firm, Xiao Zhouheng hesitated and said, "I don't know why my lord came to Li's residence?"

Lou Beiyin glanced at the little dolls of the Li family behind him, suppressed his smile, and said in a low voice, "There are some private matters that need to be discussed with the sixth young master, but does Mr. Jueyan know about the ghost woman last night? The incident happened suddenly, and this Xiang Xiang has no choice but to wait for His Majesty to make arrangements with Master Lu."

Xiao Zhouheng's heart trembled: "The matter of the ghost, is it true?"

"It's true." Lou Beiyin suddenly stepped forward, only a few inches away from Xiao Zhouheng.The sudden closeness made Xiao Zhouheng feel uncomfortable, and was about to take a step back, but Lou Beiyin's mouth was close to his ear, and he said softly, "Mr. Jueyan, you did that. ?”
