The mysterious bird of destiny, the beginning of China

Chapter 308 The vicissitudes of time
The gate of the mansion is majestic and majestic, and it also looks outstanding on this street.

However, the pedestrians on the road did not have much fear of this majestic mansion, and they still walked and passed in front of them with normal expressions.

Obviously, the people in the city did not have much fear of the high-class mansion in front of them, and it could be seen from the side that the Li family in front of them did not appear to be superior.

Just before Li Qingzhao stopped to look at the Li family's mansion, the side door of the mansion in front was suddenly opened, and several servants filed out and then cleaned the front of the mansion.

As soon as they came out, they saw Li Qingzhao standing in front of the mansion, and then a look of confusion appeared on his face. After all, Li Qingzhao was standing right in front of the mansion's gate, as if he could visit whenever he wanted.

A middle-aged man who looked like a butler saw this and walked up after a moment. In their eyes, Li Qingzhao was just a very beautiful woman, and although there were a group of extraordinary white horses around her, the others seemed very ordinary.

"I wonder if something is okay with this lady?"

A middle-aged man who looked like a butler stepped forward and asked.

"Nothing happened..."

Li Qingzhao came to his senses, then shook his head and replied. But he continued: "Can you let me go in and take a look?"

"And bring this lady to my father and treat her politely without losing etiquette."

"And, don't you know your wife's name?"

In the hall, a middle-aged man looked at Li Qingzhao who walked in, with a look of confusion on his face. The butler on the side quickly told in detail what had just happened, and the middle-aged man showed understanding, and then nodded politely and kindly to Li Qingzhao.

He seemed to be immersed in the memories of the past.

The housekeeper who was walking in front also came to his senses. When he turned around, he saw Li Qingzhao following him in. He was shocked and quickly replied:
"Master, this is the lady who was outside the house just now. She said she wanted to visit the head of the house, so I invited her in..."

……

There was already a maid here serving tea to Li Qingzhao. After Li Qingzhao took a sip, the middle-aged man asked:
"Why did this lady come here?"

The housekeeper heard the young man's instructions, then nodded quickly, and then said to Li Qingzhao:
"Madam, please go this way..."

Having said this, Li Qingzhao was silent for a moment and looked towards the hall where he was sitting. Looking at the scene in the hall, a look of memory appeared on his face.

Li Qingzhao's footsteps were light, but Ta Xue did not follow him, so he followed behind the housekeeper without letting the other party notice.

Then he couldn't help but asked cautiously:
"Don't you know your lady's name?"

Li Qingzhao walked very slowly, carefully looking at the surrounding buildings with every step he took. At the same time, his eyes showed memories, and his face showed sadness and joy from time to time.

He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Does this madam want to come in for a visit? Madam, please wait a moment, I will come in to report..."

After walking through the front yard and walking towards the back yard, he could also see a large number of servants and maids busy. Li Qingzhao even saw many crabapples under the verandah.

"I am Mr. Lee."

However, just when the middle-aged man turned around to report, Li Qingzhao followed suit. When the other cleaning servants saw this, they were disorganized.

"This lady is..."

"This……"

He saw a young man next to him. He was polite in his words and quite elegant in his gestures. From the butler's words, Li Qingzhao also knew that the young man in front of him should be a descendant of the Li family.

This made the smile on her face even bigger.

"It's time to go home..."

After all, it can be seen from now on that the Li family has a pure family style and does not use power to suppress others.

Hearing Li Qingzhao's words, the middle-aged man who looked like a butler suddenly stopped talking. He couldn't help but look at Li Qingzhao carefully, and then frowned.

Looking at the young man's leaving figure, Li Qingzhao nodded with satisfaction.

"As for the purpose of my coming here..."

"Oh? In this way, my wife and I can be considered the same family!"

Apparently they thought it was the housekeeper who let Li Qingzhao in.

Hearing Li Qingzhao say her surname was Li, kindness appeared on the middle-aged man's face, and the alienation on his face faded a bit.

Hearing Li Qingzhao's sigh, the middle-aged man sitting above him was stunned, as if he had heard wrongly. But he couldn't help but look at Li Qingzhao's face carefully, and felt that Li Qingzhao's face was somewhat familiar.

However, just as Li Qingzhao was carefully looking at the flowerbed in the courtyard, a voice came from beside him. Li Qingzhao turned around and saw a young and unfamiliar face, but between his eyebrows, he could also find a familiar charm.

Hearing the butler's answer, the young man had a look of understanding on his face. Then he smiled slightly at Li Qingzhao and nodded, and then said to the butler beside him:

"Yes!"

"Madam, please sit down..."

The middle-aged man who looked like a butler did not despise Li Qingzhao because of his ordinaryness. Instead, he treated him very politely. This made Li Qingzhao nod and feel very satisfied.

"This lady is..."

At this moment, it is still growing in the mansion.

"I see……"

Although the middle-aged man also knew that it was rude to ask a lady directly, he still asked politely.

It was already late autumn, and the crabapples had naturally withered, but Li Qingzhao also saw some familiar sights in them, which seemed to be some flowers that he had planted himself.

Li Qingzhao answered with a smile on his face.

Following the housekeeper, she looked at the familiar sights wherever she went. She even saw her own graffiti on some railings, which had not been erased even after a hundred years.

"Li Qingzhao..."

Upon hearing these three words, the middle-aged man sitting above him suddenly changed his expression, then stood up immediately and looked at Li Qingzhao in shock.

At the same time, he hurriedly walked down and came to Li Qingzhao's side. Then he knelt on his knees and said respectfully: "I have seen our ancestors..."

Then he knelt down and worshiped without hesitation.

He did not doubt that he had recognized the wrong person, because in the ancestral hall of the mansion, there was a portrait of Li Qingzhao when he was young. The portrait in the ancestral hall was very similar to the lady in front of him, and after hearing Li Qingzhao admit his identity, he no longer had any doubts. The middle-aged man's reaction immediately shocked the maids in the hall. They stared at the middle-aged man and Li Qingzhao, who was sitting in front of the middle man, dumbfounded. For a moment, they couldn't tell what was going on.

Li Qingzhao sat quietly, watching the middle-aged man kneeling in front of him kowtow three times without making any reaction.

After all, the middle-aged man in front of him is indeed his great-grandson, and he can bear his kneeling.

"Ancestor, please stay here later. I will gather all the Li clan members in the mansion to come and pay homage to our ancestor!"

"No need!"

Seeing the middle-aged man getting up and about to walk out, Li Qingzhao quickly stopped him and said:

"There is no need for this matter. When I returned to my hometown this time, I just wanted to return to my hometown and enjoy my old age in peace. I didn't want to waste a lot of time and attract too many people's attention."

After hearing Li Qingzhao's words, the middle-aged man was silent for a moment, "In that case, I will summon the main clan members in the mansion and let them meet the ancestors. This will also prevent them from recognizing the wrong person in the future. I wonder what the ancestors want? "

"...That's fine."

Li Qingzhao thought about it. If he lived in his hometown, he would not be able to avoid contact with his descendants. It would be okay to meet them.

The middle-aged man was about to go out, but he stopped again and said, "I wonder if ancestors can have breakfast?"

"I'll arrange some breakfast for our ancestors..."

Without waiting for Li Qingzhao's answer, the middle-aged man hurried out. The maid who stayed in the hall looked at Li Qingzhao with curiosity. Thinking of the scene just now, her eyes towards Li Qingzhao were full of awe.

Next, the main members of the Li family who lived in the mansion hurried over. When they saw Li Qingzhao's face, they all looked shocked, and then they couldn't help but look at Li Qingzhao's face carefully.

But I only took one or two glances at it, for fear that if I looked at it more, I would offend my ancestors.

As time passed, the hall where Li Qingzhao was was filled with people.

Looking at the people in this hall, there are old people, children, young men and young girls. Their faces are all full of curiosity and reverence.

"You must have often heard about me, so I won't introduce myself too much here..."

Li Qingzhao said.

"Don't dare!"

Hearing Li Qingzhao speak, everyone in the hall hurriedly spoke.

"As for other things, I don't have many arrangements. This return to my hometown is just to enjoy my old age. If there is nothing else, just retire..."

…………

The prosperity of a family is nothing more than spreading its branches and leaves, and the mansion is full of orchids and jade trees, and there are many talented people. Of course, to a certain extent, the legacy of the ancestors is also needed, and this is the case for the Li family.

After politely rejecting the tribe's offer to stay, Li Qingzhao left for the backyard.

The Li family's mansion is located on the lakeside, and on the lakeside, there are waterside pavilions where Li Qingzhao once lived. Now and in the future, it will become Li Qingzhao's residence.

After spending nearly a day with the tribesmen in Fuzhong, the place where Li Qingzhao once lived was also cleared out by the tribesmen, so when he came here it was already time to light the lamp.

A cold moon hung high in the sky, illuminating the earth brightly in the cold autumn night.

On the calm lake, withered lotus flowers outline different outlines.

It seems that no one has entered the pavilion by the lake for a long time. This time you tried to enter suddenly, but you woke up the birds in the distance and flew by under the moonlight.

Li Qingzhao looked at this scene quietly, and a feeling of desolation and loneliness suddenly came to his heart.

The shadow of the crane crosses the cold pond, and the soul of the flower is buried in the cold moon!
The former lotus has withered, and only the withered lotus leaves float on the water, looking endlessly desolate. The chill of the autumn night spread over the lakeside. Only a group of wild cranes from afar were not afraid of the cold and settled on the lakeside.

There was a dim candlelight in the waterside pavilion behind him, and it was still flickering. It was the maid sent by the mansion to clean the house for Li Qingzhao.

Li Qingzhao slowly sat in the pavilion by the lake, looking at the lake surface under the bright moonlight. The mist came over and wet her clothes.

She couldn't help but think of the scene in her childhood. When she was a girl, she took a boat across the lake and struggled to cross the lotus root. The leisure time at that time seemed to be still vivid in her mind, without too much sorrow or trouble. .

She couldn't help but recall her state of mind at that time.

It's been so long that she can't even remember it clearly.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps were heard from behind. Li Qingzhao turned around and saw that a maid was walking slowly, "Ancestor, it's time to go back and rest..."

"Ancestor..."

Hearing this title, Li Qingzhao's expression froze. If it was because of the Li clan, calling her like this wouldn't make her feel too different, but at this time, the servants in the mansion also called her like this, which really made her feel that she was old.

"I understand, please step back first!"

"Yes!"

In the bright moonlight, Li Qingzhao looked back at the lonely lake again, then got up and walked towards the house.

……

In Zhangqiu City, a piece of news suddenly spread:
Li Qingzhao, who was possessed by the gods, returned to Zhangqiu City, and her appearance had changed. She changed from the beautiful woman who was once rumored to have become a woman.

This is what shocked everyone.

Unexpectedly, Li Qingzhao, who was blessed by the divine bird, has aged. In this case, the previous rumors must be true. Li Qingzhao is no longer favored by the divine bird!
Regarding the rumors in the city, there are also people who want to visit the Li Mansion to ask if it is true, and even want to see the legendary Li Qingzhao with their own eyes.

But without exception, they were all rejected by the people of the Li family.

After all, Li Qingzhao had told them when she came back that she came back to enjoy her old age and did not want to be delayed by the secular world. After all, Li Qingzhao has never even met all members of the Li family, so where does he have time to meet outsiders?
There were even dignitaries in the city who came to visit him, but they were all rejected by the Li family just like ordinary people.

But as time went by, the rumors in the city became more and more intense, and even new rumors emerged, saying that Li Qingzhao was no longer favored by the divine bird, but he had once lived forever. As long as he talked to Li Qingzhao, he would achieve a certain extension of life!

If it is not a conversation, or a further contact, this is no longer a simple life extension!
The most poisonous poison in the world, besides rights, is immortality!
So when people hear that they have the chance to live forever, who can calm down?
For a time, a large number of people gathered in front of the Li Mansion. Even the officials from the city came to the Li Mansion, wanting to enter the Li Mansion and meet the legendary General Li who was favored by the divine bird!

Seeing a large number of people staying away from the mansion, the head of the Li Mansion was also under a lot of pressure and didn't know what to do!

The most difficult thing to deal with is public anger. There is even a saying among the government that the law should not be held accountable, let alone their little Li Mansion!
