Li House.

The Li Mansion where the guests gathered was extremely lively. When the Li family father and son stood at the door to welcome the guests together, many people couldn't help but sighed that the father and son were the same. Tanhua's background is worthy of the Li family with profound heritage.

Although Li Xun Huan's father greeted everyone who came to congratulate him with a smile, he felt a little sad in his heart.

Tanhua, Tanhua, Tanhua again.

Why can't their Li family produce a champion?

When someone sent a calligraphy specially asked for from Zhuge Shenhou, Li Xunhuan's father felt a little bit glared by the words "seven scholars in one family, father and son three times" written on it, but no matter how complicated his heart was, his face was still He smiled and expressed his gratitude to the other party, and directly ordered someone to post it at the gate of Li Yuan.

Duanmurong helped Liu Yue get out of the carriage, and when he and Lian Xing helped Liu Yue to enter the door, he happened to see the words posted on the door of Li Yuan.

At a glance, Duanmu Rong recognized that this was the inscription written by her uncle Zhuge Zhengwo.

But, looking at this inscription, why did she feel inexplicably familiar again?

—I always feel as if I have seen it somewhere.

After entering Li Garden and being greeted by Lin Shiyin, who is Li Xunhuan's fiancée, to the table, Duanmurong finally understood why the inscription at the door gave her an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

In the last life, they were given nine-year compulsory education at school. When the Chinese teacher mentioned a historical common sense to them, they were asked to memorize a pair of couplets-"A father and son, three poets, four masters of ancient writing②".

After figuring out that the inscription at the door had nothing to do with the novels she might have read, or the TV series she had watched, Duanmu Rong, who was frowning loosely, also had the leisure to look around.

Looking around, Duanmurong not only saw many aristocratic families and poor families whom he either knew or didn't know, but also some people who could be recognized by their clothes... Jianghu people?

After realizing that she was right, Duanmu Rong couldn't help tugging at Lianxing's sleeve, "Sister Lianxing, that person just now, is that Zhao Zhengyi who is called 'iron and selfless'?" Duanmurong said. He also gestured with his eyes.

Lian Xing didn't look directly at it, but picked up the teacup on the table, and with the movement of drinking tea, calmly glanced at the direction Duanmu Rong indicated to her.Waiting to put down the teacup in his hand, Lian Xing nodded lightly, "It's him, how do you know him?"

"Really..." Without answering Lian Xing's question, Duanmu Rong tugged Lian Xing's sleeve again, and then named out the names of several Jianghu people present, and waited until Lian Xing nodded affirmatively , Duanmu Rong puffed out her chest proudly, "Even though I have never seen the people I have mentioned before, I recognize them all. I am really amazing!"

"What's super awesome?"

Even though the troupe's singing overshadowed Duanmu Rong's voice, because Duanmu Rong's voice was a bit high when he said this, Mrs. Duanmu, who was chatting with a lady at the same time, just heard a little bit, and she nodded lightly to the lady beside her. He lowered his head, then turned to look at Duanmu Rong.

Immediately afterwards, Mrs. Duanmu looked down, and her eyes fell on Duanmu Rong's straightened chest.

Duanmu Rong: "...?"

Liu Yue: "..."

Duanmu Rong: "...!"

After finally understanding why her mother looked at her with disgust, the somewhat guilty Duanmu Rong stopped puffing out her chest, and instead sat obediently on her seat, maintaining the posture that a family girl should have, and whispered to her mother Liu Yue explained, "I'm telling Sister Lianxing that the troupe invited by the Li family sings really well."

When Duanmurong was a child, she would fall asleep when she listened to opera. Liu Yue didn't believe that her daughter would understand the charm of opera so easily after so many years. She subconsciously looked at Lianxing and asked him for proof.

Without looking at Duanmurong, Lianxing directly nodded to Liu Yue, expressing that what Duanmurong said was true.

"Okay, let me take what you said is true."

Seeing that Lian Xing had testified for him, Mrs. Duanmu, who was not going to care about it, tapped Duanmu Rong's forehead with her index finger.After her eyes signaled Duanmurong to be good and not to cause trouble for her, she continued to chat with the lady on the side.

After Mrs. Duanmu stopped paying attention to Duanmurong, she couldn't help sticking out her tongue at Lianxing.

Due to her mother's warning, Duanmu Rong no longer tried to find out how many Jianghu people were there, but to prove that what she just said to Mrs. Duanmu was true, she held a handkerchief between her legs and listened quietly. .

Duanmu Rong tried very hard to understand what the people on the stage were singing, but compared with the fascinated crowd listening to the opera, she was still the one who said "everyone is drunk and I am alone", and she couldn't feel those words at all. The charm of the babbling that rings in the ear.

From the corner of the eye, she glanced at Lian Xing, who was also listening to the play, and was even immersed in the performance on the stage. Duan Murong had to put away the idea of ​​chatting with the other party to pass the time, and turned to holding tea, eating a piece of tea on the table from time to time. Refreshment, in the hope that the time will pass as quickly as possible.

However, things were not as she had imagined. Not only did the time become longer and longer, she even wanted to take a pee.

Enduring and enduring, she couldn't hold back anymore, Duanmu Rong whispered to Lian Xing at the side, and then asked the servant girl who was not far away and was always ready to serve the guests in need to lead her the way.

Duanmurong, who found it troublesome, didn't bring her maid with her when she came to the door—she had been an informal child of the rivers and lakes for a long time, and she was completely unaccustomed to having people around her—so when Duanmurong went with the maid, she was alone.

When Duanmurong came out, the maid who was supposed to be waiting outside the door was nowhere to be seen.

Standing in the courtyard where she was alone, Duanmu Rong silently sighed in her heart.

I heard that Li Yuan doesn't have a mistress, and the current affairs of the mansion are managed by Li Xunhuan's fiancée temporarily.As for brother Li Xunhuan's fiancée, the engagement was broken off not long ago.

Well, she can understand why she can't see the maid when she comes out.

Fortunately, she is not like Zhao Youheng who can't tell the difference between east, west and north. She has a strong sense of direction and has already remembered the way.

Remembering the road, Duanmu Rong was not in a hurry, and she didn't want to go back to the banquet too early to continue listening to the play that she couldn't understand at all, so she simply strolled around the garden slowly and walked back.

All the way through the flowers and willows, through the gorgeous peach blossom forest, when Duanmurong was about to cross the road in the middle of the rockery to the lotus pond, she suddenly heard the voice of men and women talking.

With a pause in her footsteps, Duanmu Rong subconsciously walked back to the rockery and hid her figure.

After hiding well, Duanmu Rong couldn't help but feel a little dumbfounded by her subconscious behavior.

She didn't do anything shady, why did she hide?

The next moment she thought this way, Duanmurong felt that her behavior of hiding back to the rockery was extremely correct, because the conversation between the two men and women standing by the lotus pond was not suitable for her to listen to at all, and it was not suitable for her to appear rashly. bother them.

Duanmu Rong squatted down silently, and unconsciously ignored the dispute between the man and woman.

Among them, Duanmu Rong had the impression that the female voice was Lin Shiyin who, as the head of the family, greeted them to the table.As for the owner of the other male voice, it wasn't Lin Shiyin's fiancé, Li Xunhuan.

"Shiyin, thank God for giving me a chance to come back."

"...This time, I will never let you down."

The man standing in front of Lin Shiyin subconsciously grabbed the other's sleeve because of Lin Shiyin's avoidance, and even his voice became a little anxious.

Just when he heard these words clearly, Duanmu Rong's pupils couldn't help shrinking.

What does it mean to thank God for giving me a chance to start again?

Is it what she thought?

Duanmu Rong got up quietly, and looked in the direction of the lotus pond under the cover of the rockery.

Because of the angle, Duanmu Rong didn't see the man's face, but only saw the man's black brocade clothes and the moiré-shaped jade crown behind his head.

Judging from the attire, he should be a son of a big family, not a man from the rivers and lakes.

It's been a long time since I've been back to the capital, and since I have friendship with the Li family and also know Lin Shiyin, Duanmurong can't guess whose son it is.Unable to guess the other party's identity, Duanmu Rong could only hope that the other party would turn around and show her face for her to take a look.

Because the man in black brocade was more than a head taller than Lin Shiyin, and they were standing opposite each other, not only could Duanmurong not see the man's face from this angle, even Lin Shiyin could only see a part of his face.

She couldn't see their faces, but Duanmu Rong could see the movements between them.

When the man in black grabbed her by the sleeve, Lin Shiyin almost staggered and fell to the ground. Fortunately, the man helped him up in time, but Lin Shiyin didn't appreciate it at all, and even raised her hand in anger and slapped him across the face.

When Lin Shiyin waved her hand, the man in black raised his hand and grabbed her wrist, "Shiyin, calm down, I am sincere to you."

"lecher!"

She withdrew her hand vigorously, blushing, and tears rolled down Lin Shiyin's cheeks, "I didn't expect you to be such a person, do you know who I am?"

Seeing Lin Shiyin crying, the man couldn't help but panic, "Shiyin, don't cry, just say something."

"Don't call me Shiyin, I have nothing to do with you."

"Poetry..."

"Don't call me! I'm your brother's fiancée! Do you know what 'brother's wife can't play'?"

"You said Brother Xunhuan was waiting for me by the lotus pond, and he wanted to give me something. Because you are his sworn brother, I believed you, but when I came to the lotus pond...where is my brother Xunhuan? "

"Long Xiaoyun, are you worthy of your brother? Do you still have a conscience?"

Following Lin Shiyin's accusations and questionings one after another, Duanmu Rong's eyes widened and became a little dry behind them.

Rubbing her eyes, Duanmu Rong, who was hiding behind the rockery, looked at the two people by the lotus pond, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

She never expected that she could actually see such a big show.Just relying on the dialogue between Lin Shiyin and Long Xiaoyun, Duan Murong could imagine how miserable Li Xunhuan would be.

What's more, this Long Xiaoyun is suspected to be "reborn and returned".
