Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 737 Stone ([-])

Obstacle to such a situation, Li Houzhong and Liu's can't care about Li Houbo, otherwise, this would be to lose face of their son in front of outsiders.

Although Liu Shi has a hot temper, she still has a sense of discretion when it comes to matters related to her son's future and face.However, she also knew that she might not be able to resist the conflict with Li Houbo, so she left with a cold snort instead of confronting Li Houbo.

Li Houbo walked towards Li Houzhong with a smile on his face, and said: "Second brother, my nephew is really worthy of my Li family, this is really promising..."

Li Houbo's voice was very loud, which attracted people from several tables around to look over.

Li Houzhong looked worried, and said with a dark face: "Brother came late, so don't look for Saburo, he is talking to a few gentlemen at the moment. Brother, hurry up and take a seat."

Li Houbo's family members were already seated at the two tables over there, Mrs. Zhu hurried over and dragged Li Houbo: "Hurry up and sit down there, Mingzi is the host here, don't meddle in it."

Li Houbo was about to say something, but was dragged away by Mrs. Zhu, and then Li Yin also came to pull Li Houbo, and pushed him to sit on the stool.

The Li family held 160 tables for this banquet, which is considered the first in Li Family Village. Li Houzhong and Mrs. Liu made a big deal, and the close relatives in the courtyard were muttering in private, and those in the outer courtyard were also muttering, Discussing: "This Li family is well off, tsk tsk, the three sons are all very promising, the eldest is the village chief, the second has two stores in the town, the third has won the Juren, and he is about to become an official ...Li Houzhong and Liu Jinhua really had great luck in their previous lives!"

Someone then talked about the unsatisfactory life of the Li family in the early years: "The feng shui has changed. When I came to the Li family this year, the second Li's family used to be extremely poor. Who would have thought that the family is in such a poor state today... that's right. , Didn't the Li family's fortune start when their daughter was found? It seems that since then, the Li family's fortune has become better and better..."

Someone hurriedly said: "Speaking of Miss Xin from the Li family, she is indeed a lucky person! She has a way of being a husband and a child, and now she is the wife of the town, her aura...do you see that? When she returns to her mother's house, this There are several carriage servants and attendants!"

While talking, everyone's eyes were full of envy, and they said that the Li family had cultivated a good relationship. In the future, Li Houzhong and the Liu family would be waiting for a happy life. Everyone envied the Li family's sons and daughters to be promising.

When one person said that, the others followed suit, and it didn't take long for the words to spread into the courtyard.

There were about twenty tables set up in the yard, and Uncle Li Houzhong moved a stool and sat next to Uncle Li Houzhong. The two brothers were muttering to each other with mischievous eyebrows, and looked towards Li Houzhong from time to time.Li Xin noticed the sneaky movements of the two in a blink of an eye, and couldn't help frowning.

Li Ming followed Li Houzhong and Liu's to toast table by table. He was still young, and he didn't hold a lot of alcohol. Although the rice wine was not high in alcohol, he couldn't bear it after a round of drinking. His cheeks were flushed, and his eyes were blurred.

After drinking the hangover soup, Li Ming looked around the yard for a while, and then followed Li Xin and Guan Wen's banquet.Yang'er hurriedly moved away from the seat next to her to let his little uncle sit.

Li Ming rested his chin, looked sideways at Li Xin and Guan Wen with a smile, and said, "Sister, Brother Wen, how are you eating?"

"I'm almost full." Li Xin smiled, and told the young lady behind him, "Go get a bowl of rice."

Qing Ya hurriedly responded to serve the meal, Li Xin said to Li Ming: "Look at you toasting to and fro, I'm afraid you're hungry, hurry up and eat some food."

Li Ming smiled and said, "Okay, listen to my sister."

Li Ming lowered his eyebrows, took a sip of tea, his eyes flickered slightly, and said in a low voice, "Uncle and uncle are going to find father?"

Li Xin quickly raised his head and took a closer look, Li Houbo and Li Houshu were no longer in their original positions.Li Xin looked in the direction of the main room again, and sure enough, the two men hurried towards the main room.

The people sitting in the main room are all senior seniors, most of them are old and dim-sighted, Li Houbo and Li Houshu naturally wouldn't be going to talk to them, but it happened to be Li Houzhong who was greeting people inside.

"Don't care about them, you eat yours."

Li Xin took the meal served by Qingya, Li Ming took it, and looked at the main room again, before eating slowly.

I don't know what Li Houbo and Uncle Li Houzhong went to talk to Li Houzhong, but I know that the banquet was completely dismissed in the evening, and Li Houzhong's expression was not very good.Mrs. Liu didn't know about this, so she dragged Li Houzhong to send away a group of distinguished guests respectfully, including Li Ming's contemporaries, classmates, husbands, and young officials with temporary posts, all of whom were related to Li Ming .

It didn't take a while to clean up the leftovers. Fortunately, there were enough people. Mrs. Liu hired someone to help, and there was no need for Li Xin and others to come forward to do the work.

Li Houzhong entered the hall without saying a word, and the rest followed.

The stone was placed on the altar at this time, and it returned to its original place.

"Today's game went well, Sanlang, didn't you embarrass yourself?" Mrs. Liu asked Li Ming with a smile.

Li Ming smiled and said, "It's pretty good, mother. Thank you parents and elder brother and second brother for your help."

Mrs. Liu smiled brightly: "It's good for you. After the new year, you still have to go to the capital. Make a few more friends and go there together..." Mrs. Liu mumbled to herself, Li Ming didn't interrupt, just nodded with a smile from time to time.

While talking, Mrs. Liu also felt something was wrong, turned around and asked Li Houzhong, "Master, what's the matter with you, why don't you say a word?"

Li Houzhong took a breath and said, "I'm thinking about something."

"What else can you think about." Mrs. Liu sneered, stroking Li Ming's arm and said proudly: "We have such a promising son, what else can you think about, wait for your son to be filial and you will be successful." .”

Li Houzhong breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Brother just told the third brother that this stone should be given to the ancestral hall."

"Just make offerings to the ancestral hall... what did you say?"

Mrs. Liu responded subconsciously at first, but when she realized what Li Houzhong meant, she jumped up in shock: "What? For the ancestral hall? You agree!"

"...Not yet." Li Houzhong shook his head: "But it's not up to me to say yes or no... the people of Li Family Village..."

"Damn!" Mrs. Liu spit on the ground and cursed, "You pig-headed! Why don't you just let your elder brother and third brother lead you by the nose? What do they say? Let them take care of everything for you! You don’t have any opinions on yourself, a big man? You won’t just refuse it!”

Li Houzhong wept bitterly: "It's not something I can refuse. They said they want the patriarch to come forward to stop this matter, and they said that this stone is the fortune stone of our Li family, and we can't let our family enjoy it alone." ..."

"Go to his uncle!"

Mrs. Liu patted the table with a "slap", and was furious: "They are jealous that our family is doing well, and they asked us if we want it or not, and now they are going to come to hell!"

Li Houzhong was silent and did not speak, Li Dalang and others wanted to go forward to persuade Liu Shi, who knew that Liu Shi had already been angered by this matter and Li Houzhong's lack of ideas at the moment Burning, shouted: "Success! The two of them want to make up their minds. I think the stone is gone. What else can they think about!"

As soon as the words fell, Liu Shi rushed forward like an arrow, and before everyone could react, he pushed down the stone on the altar.

"what!"

Li Houzhong yelled, followed by the dull sound of the stone falling to the ground.

Mrs. Liu stared at Li Houzhong viciously: "What's it called! It's just a stone. If I destroy it, I will destroy it. What kind of luck stone is it? Even if I destroy it, the brothers will not be happy!"

The scene was silent, Liu only thought that everyone was frightened by her actions, but after she calmed down a little, she also regretted it.

This stone... What if it is really a fortune stone?Just being thrown by her like this will affect Mingzi's future.

Liu Shi suddenly felt uneasy, swallowed her saliva to moisten her throat, and was about to say something, but Li Erlang exclaimed: "Why is this stone green inside?"

Li Xin also looked surprised when he was pushed to the ground by Mrs. Liu, and just fell on the corner of the wall and knocked off some surface stones, and there was a faint green light inside.

"Is this..."

Li Xin went forward and turned the stone around with great effort, sweeping away the stone debris on it.

"What, what's wrong..." Mrs. Liu looked anxiously at Shi Shi and then at Li Xin: "What's going on?"

Li Ming was well-informed, and his eyes lit up immediately: "Is it the original jade stone?!"

"What kind of stone is the original jade stone..." Mrs. Liu asked stupidly, and Li Houzhong said with a sad face: "This stone was destroyed by you..."

"Father, this stone... is not an ordinary stone..."

Li Xin swallowed hard, looked at Li Ming, Li Ming nodded, stood up and said: "Father, mother, this stone is wrapped in jade, according to the thickness of the knocked corners of this stone. Look, the jade inside should account for a large proportion."

"Yu..." Mrs. Liu stammered a bit: "Yu Yuyu mixes with stones, stones..."

No one answered Mrs. Liu's words, Li Dalang's eyes flashed, and he stepped forward to put Li Ming's shoulder: "Now, this stone is even more valuable."

"Thousands of gold?" Liu's eyes lit up immediately: "Is this stone so valuable?"

Li Xin said with a smile: "It is more than ten times and a hundred times more valuable than the sum of all the things that Grandma gave out before she died."

Immediately, Mrs. Liu hugged the stone, and glared fiercely at Li Houzhong: "If you dare to take this stone as an offering to the ancestral hall, I will fight you hard!"

Li Houzhong trembled his lips, not knowing what to do, he could only look at his three sons for help.

Li Erlang had always listened to his own words, Li Dalang and Li Xin, so he did not express his opinion.Li Xin is a married daughter, and she can't say much about her family's property.

Li Dalang and Li Ming looked at each other, Li Dalang said: "The stone can't be taken away, it was originally given to Dad by Grandma before she died."

Mrs. Liu nodded suddenly: "That's right, that's right!"

Li Ming said: "The clan elders, father has to stiffen his back and refuse, let's sell this stone."

"Sell it?" Li Houzhong was stunned.

"Every man is not guilty, but he is guilty of carrying a bi. This stone can no longer be kept at home." Li Ming said calmly.
