reborn son

Chapter 32
The old Duke of Zhen hadn't walked out of the courtyard for a long time. Today he was sitting on the chair of the Eight Immortals, and was carried into the ancestral hall by Uncle Wang and others. When Li Xiang saw the appearance of the old Duke of Zhen, his eyes were full of unwillingness.

Li Xiang couldn't figure it out, since he was also the grandson of his grandfather, why did his grandfather only have the missing grandson in his heart? Is he, Li Xiang, so bad?Li Dongyang gave the answer with practical actions.

"Grandpa, I haven't seen you all night. I miss you so much." Li Dongyang's voice sounded in the courtyard of the ancestral hall. The male's neck is smiling like a three-year-old urchin.

"Okay, okay." Old Zhen Guogong also smiled, and Li Xiang looked even more appetizing. He had never acted like a baby since he was a child, and they always acted as if they had never seen him. It was so unfair.

There was no comparison before, so there was no harm, but now the comparison is obvious, the balance in Li Xiang's heart is completely out of balance, and his jealous eyes are red.

Clenching his fists tightly, Li Xiang thought bitterly: "Wait, wait, wait until the incense burns and see if you can still laugh!"
Zheng Guogong was watching the clan elders arrange the steps in the hall, and when he heard Li Dongyang's coquettish voice, he couldn't help jumping out of the house, just in time to see the friendly side of his grandfather and grandson, and he followed suit.

Obviously he is his own son, but he likes his grandfather the most, and the balance in Duke Zhen's heart is also out of balance. Fortunately, his reason is still there, and he did not take the act of robbing his son.

The clan elder came out of the hall and looked at the old Zhen Guogong who was sitting on the chair. Distress and helplessness flashed in his eyes. This was once the god of the Li family, and he led the Li family to prosperity. .

"The inside is ready, old patriarch, let's go in."

The clan elders came to Lao Zhen Guo Gong and gave a salute. Seeing Lao Zhen Guo blinking, he immediately took over Uncle Wang's position. Zhen Guo Gong took Uncle Zhou, lifted Lao Zhen Guo and left.

Li Dongyang followed the brigade into the ancestral hall, looked around for a week, but didn't see anything from the faces of these people, all of them had old faces like donkey faces, and they didn't express any emotion.

The imaginary accusation did not appear, and Li Dongyang wondered if it was true?He was thinking wildly there, when he saw Li Xiang's provocative eyes, Li Dongyang sneered back.

Suddenly Li Xiang's eyes widened, a little dumbfounded.

I saw Li Dongyang took the three sticks of incense from the elders of the clan, kneeling respectfully on the futon, muttering something in his mouth, begging his ancestors to bless him, and then kowtowed to offer the incense, everything went well.

The smile on Li Xiang's face was stiff, staring at Li Dongyang's movements, his brows frowned unnaturally, his mother clearly said that the incense would not burn, why didn't this happen?

The clenched fist was released quietly, and Li Xiang glanced at the bundles of incense on the cabinet with doubtful eyes, did he take the wrong one?Since it was tampered with, Xiangquan should be replaced no matter what.

Losing the reason to show off, Li Xiang's heart became even more angry. He felt that God was standing by Li Dongyang's side. Why did the good plan fail?
It's a pity that Li Dongyang didn't know Li Xiang's question, so he couldn't answer it. After he paid homage to his ancestors, he had to recognize relatives, offer tea to the patriarchs and uncles, and recognize his brothers of the same generation.

The Li family is a big family. There are three elders, twelve uncles, and more than thirty brothers. Li Dongyang feels that people in this era can really live.

All the boys appeared here, and the girls haven't appeared yet. If girls appear again, my God, Li Dongyang estimates that everyone has several children, and fathers are few.

Because the holding time was very short, in fact, not all the people were present. For example, Li Tao, the third son of Lord Zhen Guo, Li Dongyang's third brother, did not appear, and there were quite a few nephews, but not as many as his peers.

Li Dongyang greeted everyone one by one, and then went out of the ancestral hall with a huff, and then went to the front yard to meet with aunts, aunts, and sisters, and then there was a banquet, which was also one of the highlights of the day.

Old Zhen Guogong did not go to the front yard because of the poison on his body, but was carried back by Uncle Wang and the others, while Li Dongyang was led by Zhen Guogong to the front yard.

When he arrived at the front yard, Li Dongyang saw a courtyard full of brightly colored women, their heads suddenly enlarged a few times. Duke Zhen sat in the main seat, the clan elders sat at the bottom, and young men stood aside. Li Dongyang stood at Duke Zhen. On the left hand side, the confession continues.

This time Li Dongyang felt a few hostile eyes from it, why is this?Li Dongyang remained silent, secretly observing those hostile eyes.

There was one thing that Li Dongyang could understand, it was Xie's daughter, and there were a few things that Li Dongyang didn't quite understand, but when it took turns to come forward to recognize relatives, Li Dongyang knew why those eyes were not friendly.

Nima, who is obviously a cousin, actually lives in the government of the town for a long time, eats and drinks from the Li family, and shows unfriendly eyes on the future successor of the Li family. Li Dongyang suspects that the Li family is doing bad things with good intentions. There are a few white-eyed wolves.

Of course, these words can only be kept in the heart, but it is not easy to say it in the open.

The women from Zhen Guogong’s courtyard met the other day when they came back, and today they met again. There are thirty flowers standing behind Mrs. Xie. They are all Zhen Guogong’s concubines. Can hit Xie into the mud.

Although Xie's face was covered with makeup, he still couldn't hide the anger in his eyes. Even though he had done something wrong, those incense sticks could still be lit, and the reason for his good hair disappeared. Can you not be angry!

However, although these concubines look good, some people are happy and some are sad. On this day of great joy, some people look sad, and there is no trace of joy on their faces.

Of course, Li Dongyang can understand them. In this era, what women eat is youth food. If they can have a son and a half daughter, they can be relied on for future generations. If they have no children, then the rest of their lives can be imagined.

Unfortunately, all the concubines in the 36 rooms have no children except the youngest and the youngest, so it's hard to not worry about it on this big day of confessing relatives.

Li Dongyang counted with his fingers. The mistress standing in the courtyard only accounted for one-tenth of the other concubines. The concubines were lined up outside the courtyard. The least number of concubines was three, and the most was the most .

Thinking of this, Li Dongyang gave Zhen Guogong a sideways glance. Zhen Guogong probably understood Li Dongyang's meaning, and his old face couldn't help but blush.

Fortunately, at this time, the chief steward came in to report that there was a guest coming, Duke Zhen stood up and said, "This is my son Li Dongyang, you have officially met today, so get closer in the future."

"Yes."

"As ordered."

There was an endless response, the younger disciples saluted and walked out, the wives of each house also left with their daughters and concubines, and soon the busy courtyard became empty.

"Brother, I'll go to the door to help." Second Master Li Changhui said.

"Okay, thank you for your hard work." Zhen Guo said fairly.

The second master smiled and asked Li Dongyang: "Will the son come with me?"
