Chapter 51 Where is Miss Li Family?

Longxi is an ancient city, called Longxi County from the Qin and Han Dynasties to the Sui and Tang Dynasties, including the Tianshui and Lanzhou area. It was a must-pass route for ancient silk and a place that military strategists must fight for. Here are famous people named Li Bai, Li Yuan and Li Guang.

If you ask ordinary people which major families are in China, except for a few that cannot be said, some people may say that it should be the Confucius family in Qufu, which has been passed down for thousands of years and has countless celebrities.

Some people may also say that the Manchu royal family Aisin Gioro family or the Chen Wansan family in Zhouzhuang, and some may also say that Hong Kong Island is called the city of the Li family, which can be considered one.

But when it comes to the five surnames and seven clans, I'm afraid not many people know about the family family, such as the Li family in Longxi, Cui family in Qinghe, and Wang family in Taiyuan. It is said that after Wu Zetian came to power, the power of these aristocratic families was weakened, thus becoming history. So far, there are no legends about the family family such as Longxi, Taiyuan, and Qinghe. Most ordinary people think so, but what about the facts?

Just say that the Li family in Longxi is a serious royal family. Even if the Tang Dynasty has become a smoke and clouds and has disappeared into the past, do you know where the children of the Li family's royal family are?

Wang Jingzhe arrived in Longxi three days after leaving the capital, but the place he was going was not in Longxi City, but a relatively remote old city area.

This old city is quite old, and many houses still retain the historical appearance and modern buildings can be seen at a glance.

Wang Jingzhe stood in front of a large mansion. This door was indeed quite large, at least twice as big as the courtyard gate of Feng's house. Especially the plaque on the door made people feel oppressed. In addition to the two characters Li, the signature is a small seal script, surrounded by carved dragons and phoenixes, and in the middle is the Li seal script.

"Nobleness hits you..." Wang Jingzhe muttered: "It's the foundation of the royal family. This house is really good."

"Dang, Dang" Wang Jingzhe knocked on the door knocker, and a moment later, an old man wearing Tang suit hunched his shoulders opened a gap in the door.

Wang Jingzhe sorted out his robe, straightened his back, and said word by word: "Chaoge Wang's family, Wang Jingzhe comes to visit Li's family in Longxi."

Chaoge is a small place, an unknown small town. If you go forward for a thousand years, this place will be considered a famous place.

The capital of the Shang Dynasty, Chaoge.

"Uncle Li, what kind of person does this young man look like?" A few minutes later, on the main hall of the Li mansion, a pair of middle-aged men and women sat on two Grand Master chairs, holding blue and white porcelain teacups in their hands, and asked with a frown.

Bo Li is the old man with his shoulders on his shoulders who opened the door for Wang Jingzhe just now. He is an old servant of the Li clan.

"I'm pretty young, about twenty-three or four years old. I'm very calm from the face, not like a young man with a slight face, and I'm full of energy when I speak..." Li Bozhong commented a few words in a normal manner, and finally thought about it and said, "It's quite an ordinary person."

The middle-aged man and woman looked at each other without saying anything. They saw what the reaction was. Although the old servant Li Bo was a servant in the Li family, he was raised by the master. Even the young master and the lady who were born with the mistress later were also brought by him, so his status was relatively transcendent.

The man and woman are the head and mother of the Li family in Longxi. The man is called Li Lanrong and the woman is called Mao Qingshui.

Seeing that neither of them spoke, Li asked again: "This engagement..."

Not many people know about Miss Li's engagement, probably some elderly people in the clan know that the engagement originated more than 20 years ago, when the head of Li's family was Li Lanrong's father.

It is reported that the eldest lady of the Li family made an engagement with a son named Wang, but she didn't know much about the other party's specific identity.

Li Lanrong and Mao Qingshui were not very clear either.

Bo Li said: "How could the old man have made such a engagement for the young lady?"

"If the old man is still alive, you can ask him what he thought of setting up such a engagement for the lady. I don't know much about it anyway." Mao Qingshui was quite dissatisfied when he said this. His parents' words and matchmaker's fate seemed not very useful to her, because God had absolute decision-making power in the Li clan back then, and he said that if there was a engagement, the engagement would be there.

Bo Li frowned again and said, "But, isn't Cui from Qinghe also coming to propose marriage?"

The eldest lady of the Li clan is already in her marriage year. In recent years, people have come to propose marriages. However, Li Lanrong and Mao Qingshui have been suppressing this. However, about a year ago, the Cui clan of Qinghe sent someone to the house. The young master of their family is also at the age of marriage and wants to marry the Li clan of Longxi.

To put it bluntly, this is a marriage, two former aristocratic families need to be united and then go to the next level.

Li Lanrong and Mao Qingshui were both quite satisfied with this marriage. It is said that the young master of the Cui family is very outstanding. He returned from studying abroad at a young age. When he was young, he also learned Feng Shui and geomancy techniques.

To describe it in a simple sentence, this person is actually a dragon and a phoenix among people.

The day when Cui's family proposed marriage in Qinghe was recently, but unexpectedly, a marriage that the old man Li had booked more than 20 years ago also came to the door today, which was a bit embarrassing.

"People are still waiting outside..." Li Bo reminded.

Li Lanrong frowned, and Mao Qingshui smiled: "Who did you say the marriage that the old man decided for?"

"Our lady"

"What should our eldest lady be surnamed?" Mao Qingshui asked again.

"Of course, it should be the surname Li." After Li Bo said this, he suddenly realized.

Mao Qingshui smiled, clapped her hands and said, "Yes, this marriage was made for the eldest daughter of the Li family. The young man named Wang who came to propose marriage should also marry the eldest daughter of Li... But where is this eldest daughter of the Li?"

Li Lanrong glanced at his wife, frowned and said, "This is a bit nonsense."

"Then is my words reasonable? I can naturally betrothed to him with a lady named Li, but what if there is no?"

Uncle Li suddenly asked, "Miss Mother, did you expect such a day?"

Mao Qingshui said: "I don't want my daughter to marry an unknown wild boy who came out of nowhere. Where is he comparable to the young master of Cui in Qinghe? My daughter, if she wants to marry, she has to marry a dragon and a phoenix!"

Yes, after the old man died in the early years, Mao Qingshui repented of this marriage. She didn't want to marry the eldest daughter of the Li family to the Wang surname.

So, if the eldest lady of the Li family is not surnamed Li, wouldn’t she have to marry?

After all, the old man agreed to the eldest lady surnamed Li.
