Lotus Tower is the second best in the world

September 29.

Jinling, by the Huaihe River.

The daughter of the Su family, who is close to the Jinling aristocratic family, is getting married. The streets and alleys near Su's house and the eaves in front of each house are filled with red lanterns with happy characters on them, which is full of joy.

The Su family has settled here for generations, and every head of the Su family is a well-known, highly respected and well-respected figure in the neighborhood.

Anyone of some age knows what the Su family has done for them.

He also used this as a warning to future generations to treat the Su family's affairs as if they were their own, and not to treat them lightly.

This is why when the Su family marries a daughter, the neighbors and villagers hang red lanterns in front of their doors to sincerely congratulate her.

The Su family is a big family, but in Mr. Su's generation, the population has stopped growing, and now only Su Xiaoyong is the only one left.

Those distant relatives who have the blood of the Su family flowing through their bodies have no intention of coveting the Su family's property.

It's just because Mrs. Su is too tough and the property under his name is monolithic, and outsiders can't get involved at all.

Don't even think about waiting for Mr. Su to drive to the west and occupy the magpie's nest after Su Xiaoyong marries.

Mr. Su once said publicly that if his lineage was completely cut off, all the properties in his name would be burned to the ground after his death.

It will not be left to anyone who covets it.

From then on, no one had any ideas about the Su family.

Of course, this is superficial.

I am afraid that only Mr. Su Wencai knows whether there is anyone secretly keeping an eye on such a big business as the Su family.

It's night at the Su family ancestral hall.

"Grandpa, isn't your dowry too generous?"

Su Xiaoyong looked at the thick land deeds and land deeds inside the box, and his beautiful eyes couldn't help but widen.

When the radiant Mr. Su heard this, he stroked his beard and laughed: "How can my granddaughter, Su Wencai, be shabby when she gets married?"

"These are just the dowry that Grandpa Mingming has prepared for you, as well as those things that cannot be put on the table. Grandpa also plans to hand them over to you on the day you get married."

As he spoke, the old man sighed quietly,
"If your parents, uncles and aunts were still here, they would definitely be overjoyed to see my Xiaoyong's current fate. With your mother's temperament, I'm afraid she will burst into tears on your wedding day. "

"Your aunt is a powerful person, and your uncle is extremely afraid of her."

"But she is just like your mother, and I respect grandpa quite a lot."

"Your father and your uncle have completely opposite personalities. One likes to write and write, and the other likes to wield swords and guns. Neither of them are peaceful masters."

"Back then, I didn't let your father get the honors, so he secretly hid the books behind my back and asked your mother to help cover it up. Only when a piece of paper from the court came down did I find out that your father had actually passed the exam and was awarded the title of Juren. Official..."

"Your uncle is a martial artist. After getting married, he has no home all day long and spends money like water. If your aunt didn't know how to run a business, he would have been living on the street..."

"...You were less than seven years old when Bucang was exposed..."

In the past, Mr. Su would not bring up this kind of topic in front of Su Xiaoyong, but today is different from the past.

One old and one young, all in the ancestral hall, paying homage to the deceased.

In the early years, Mr. Su used to give gifts to people with black hair. Now that his only granddaughter is getting married, he told his granddaughter Su Xiaoyong the past events that had been stored in his heart for a long time.

Su Xiaoyong knew part of the facts, but the other part was hearsay and had never been confirmed by his grandfather.

Just talking about what happened back then is extremely tortuous and complicated and cannot be explained clearly in one or two sentences.

The reason why we are talking about it now is because if we don't talk about it, Mr. Su is afraid that he will have no chance and will become the knot of Su Xiaoyong's life in the future.

One old man and one young man spoke slowly, their old and kind faces full of memories.

He listened quietly, with no sadness on his pretty face.

She had been grieving for too long when she lost her parents and only her grandfather.

Now that she has grown up and is about to get married, naturally she can no longer cry like she did when she was a child.

She wants to leave an impression to her parents and relatives that her daughter has grown up, so that they can feel at ease underground.

At the end of the conversation, Mr. Su felt tired and went to rest.

Su Xiaoyong, on the other hand, was kneeling on the futon, looking at the spiritual tablet placed on the altar, and was lost in thought.

According to the customs of Jinling, most women are not allowed to enter the ancestral hall after their death, but the Su family is an exception.

Grandpa said that since he has entered the door of his Su family, he should eat the incense of the descendants of the Su family.

There is no mention of asking people to go out alone.

Su Xiaoyong didn't have a deep impression of her parents. Most six- or seven-year-old children can remember things. However, the reason why she only has a vague memory of what happened back then is because she was young and was stimulated at the time.

Lost childhood memories.

But she clearly remembered that her mother and father were both very good people.

So did my uncle and aunt.

The couple had no children, so they always treated her as their biological daughter.

Her uncle was a heroic man who liked to make friends. Every day when he went out, he would secretly take her out of the house to eat delicious food and watch interesting sideshows.

This was one of the reasons why she later liked to go out alone to explore the world.

On the one hand, it was because of her uncle, and on the other hand, it was because she was very interested in interesting anecdotes about the world.

This is how he got his reputation as the number one inquisitor in the world.

"Father, mother."

"Uncle, aunt."

"Don't worry, Xiaoyong's husband is a very good person. He can cook a lot of delicious food and have many fun ideas. If Xiaoyong follows him, he will not be wronged and live a happy life. "

Su Xiaoyong looked at the four spiritual cards placed outside and said softly:

"He is handsome and not inferior to his father at all. He is very powerful in martial arts. To put it bluntly, if you put all ten of your uncles together, they are probably no match for him."

"He will protect me well..."

Su Xiaoyong said, a smile gradually appeared on his face,
"He also has many friends. Just like his uncle, he likes to make friends in the world. His younger brother is called Li Lianhua. He was once the number one in the world, the leader of the martial arts alliance that everyone respected, and the leader of the largest power in the world..."

"There is also Young Master Fang of Tianji Hall. You must have heard of Tianji Hall. I heard from grandpa that my uncle was very fond of some strange skills and tricks, and he asked Tianji Hall to help build it. This is the Tianji Hall."

"Hangzhu He is a very powerful businessman. Her son Fang Duobing is a very chivalrous and courageous young man. Just like my uncle in the past, when he encounters injustice, he will speak out and help regardless of justice."

"... His temper is a bit reckless, but he is still young. Between me and... By the way, I forgot to introduce it to some elders. My husband-in-law, whose surname is Li and whose given name is Lianpeng, according to him, has been there before. Overseas catering countries are very knowledgeable.”

"With Li Lianpeng and me, that young man will not go astray."

"...Mom, dad, uncle, aunt, I'm afraid you still don't know that in the years since you left, the world has been bustling with activity. Not only is Li Lianpeng's brother Li Lianhua founded the Sigu Sect, but there is also a family from Dijiabao. The martial arts idiot founded the Golden Yuan Alliance."

"The Golden Yuan League is a cult. It's the kind of power in the world where everyone calls for a fight but doesn't dare to fight."

"Their leader is called Di Feisheng, now we call him A Fei."

"A Fei is actually a poor man. The Dijiabao he came from is a martial arts sect that trains assassins. He has to face life and death every day. It is completely different from us in Yangzhou..."

"Li Lianpeng is very ambitious. He and Li Lianhua are taking different paths. He wants to change the world again... Li Lianhua supports him and moves her own path at his feet..."

"As the saying goes, if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog. To put it bluntly, in Xiao Yong's eyes, Li Lianpeng is not a creature of the pond. If Xiao Yong follows him, he may be able to become a queen in the future!"

Su Xiaoyong spoke in detail, as if she was a little girl showing off to her parents. "...Of course, my daughter is just joking. Mother's respect for the world is very impressive, but you know my daughter's temperament and don't like these restrictions."

"The same is true for Li Lianpeng. I'm afraid he has never thought about how to manage the world if he really gets it in the future..."

"But don't worry, I will only tell you such treacherous and unethical words, and no outsiders will know about it. If things cannot be done in the future, I will wander around the world with Lianpeng and live a happy life..."

Su Xiaoyong talked for a long time, venting the longing for his parents that had been accumulated in his heart through this way of talking to himself.

Everyone has a different way of venting their emotions. Su Xiaoyong's approach is still due to Li Lianpeng.

He just liked to talk to himself when he had nothing to do, and said some weird words that she couldn't understand.

And every time he finished speaking, his low mood would become high again, and the smile on his face would make people feel like spring breeze.

By his side, Su Xiaoyong felt at ease like never before.

After paying homage to relatives, it was already late at night.

Su Xiaoyong stood up, stretched his muscles, said goodbye to his parents, uncles and aunts, turned around and walked outside.

Tomorrow will be her wedding day.

In Li Lianpeng's words, she should let go of all her worries and welcome a new life in the future.

People should not live in the past, but in the future.

Her future will be as magnificent as this era!

……

The sound of suona sounds, and the long street is filled with red makeup.

There were more than 100 people in the welcoming team.

The groom is riding on a tall horse, with a big red flower on his chest, a black crown on his head, and a jade tree facing the wind.

On both sides of the groom, two cavalry guards stood on the left and right.

One person was dressed in plain clothes and had a delicate face.

One person was dressed in black and had a cold face.

There were also two young men, both dressed in red and holding big drums, who came from one end of the ten-mile street to the front of the Su family's mansion.

As an old and yin-yang voice sounded, the welcoming team picked up the bride in her wedding dress.

The firecrackers produced by Tianjitang soared into the sky, with hundreds of thousands of long-tasseled firecrackers popping up.

The onlookers hurriedly covered their ears and squatted down to pick up the White Rabbit candy that they had never seen before with a festive look on their faces.

——In addition to wedding candies, there are also copper coins.

Then, the banquet prepared by the Su family early was open to everyone present.

The bride who was picked up from the Huai River stopped in another house with lights and colorful decorations away from the ten-mile long street.

This is the house that Li Lianpeng built long ago. Although the yard is not as big as the Su family's, it is still spacious enough.

This was originally the residence of a high official. Later, for unknown reasons, a fire broke out and the original residence was burned into ruins.

Later, the official thought it was unlucky and sold it at a low price.

It happened to be bought by Hall Master He, who was the best at finding out things in Tianji Villa.

After clearing the ruins, preparations were made to build a new house on the old site.

After learning that Li Lianpeng wanted to buy a house in Jinling to use for his wedding, he sold it to him.

Li Lianpeng put a little thought into it and built it into a mansion that looks luxurious and restrained.

Just looking at the pair of lifelike white jade lions at the door, you can tell that the owner of this house is extraordinary.

This was done just to be on par with the Su family.

According to Mr. Su Wencai, there is no need to go to such trouble. The mansion of his Su family in Jinling City can be bought in two hands.

Pick one at random and you can marry his granddaughter.

However, Li Lianpeng declined.

Since you are marrying a wife, you must show your sincerity.

He will definitely not be able to benefit from the woman. As a man, if he cannot prepare a love nest for the two of them, then he is really incompetent.

When Mr. Su saw this, he let him go.

Naturally, he knew everything about Li Lianpeng's actions in Yangzhou, and knew that his grandson-in-law was a young man with great ambitions.

An ambitious man, good face, but this also proves that this brat who abducted his granddaughter has taken responsibility and is a person worthy of trust.

In this way, he felt completely at ease.

After worshiping in the hall and toasting with wine, the two newlyweds entered the bridal chamber.

……

That night.

In a small pavilion by the pool, two young men sat opposite each other.

Di Feisheng lowered his head and took a sip of tea, frowned slightly, looked up at the man opposite, "This tea is tasteless, what's good to drink?"

After saying that, he stretched out his arm towards the water, with his five fingers like hooks, and with a slight wave, something flew out of the pool.

That's a jar of wine.

Di Feisheng slapped off the wax seal, raised his head and took a sip.
"Drinking makes you happy."

Li Lianhua, who was opposite him, saw this, shook his head slightly, and said with a smile: "I drank with you all night last night, haven't you had a good time?"

Di Feisheng placed the wine jar on the stone table and looked at him with a slightly teasing look, "What you said is wrong. Shouldn't I be the one drinking with you?"

"How did you feel about your brother's wedding night yesterday?"

Li Lianhua looked at him strangely, "Why do you ask this?"

Di Fei said with a half-smile, "Have you ever really forgotten your sweetheart?"

Li Lianhua said angrily: "You don't have a sweetheart. If you are really bored, Fei, go back to Yangzhou."

"Ah."

Di Feisheng smiled coldly, "You all just want to be the boss and leave the mess over there to me? It's a pretty idea."

Li Lianhua said calmly: "You may not know that Jiao Liqiao is waiting for you in Yangzhou. He has united with many of your former subordinates to ask you to return and regain your position as the leader of the Golden Yuan Alliance."

When Di Feisheng heard this, he couldn't help but frown, "When did it happen?"

"Yesterday."

"Yesterday?"

Li Lianhua nodded, "Yesterday afternoon, the news came from Yangzhou. Now, the Lianhua Building has closed its doors and refused to accept guests because of the great fanfare of the Jiao Da Saint."

He raised his head and glanced at the two figures walking towards them not far away, "Please think carefully and don't make it difficult for me."
