Chapter 83: Washington 1
Li Ji did not spend the night in Wei Ye anymore. He went out to find an inn, slept comfortably for a night, and appeared in front of the Wei family's gate early the next morning.
To Li Ji's expectation, Wei Wuyue, the head of the Wei family, actually got up early, and he didn't care that Li Ji came back from outside. Instead, he was very enthusiastic. This made Li Ji immediately feel alert, but then he thought about it.
When I thought about it, it wouldn't be a big deal, so I just let him go.
There were three sedans in total. When Li Ji was still thinking about who else was going besides the two of them, he saw that Wei Wuyue and two other guys had already sat in.
The other two people were Wei Ye's two apprentices. When Li Ji saw them, he was still a little confused. It seemed that he had seen them somewhere, but he couldn't remember them for a while. But when he saw the three of them
After sitting in the sedan, Li Ji still felt a little unhappy, but he didn't say anything. His expression just changed slightly, he recovered immediately, and followed calmly.
As they walked, Li Ji noticed something was wrong. They seemed to be taking a detour on purpose. They could go straight, but they had to take a detour. They even pretended to let Li Ji know the road. Li Ji sighed.
In my heart, I wanted to chop them all into pieces and feed them to the dogs, but I didn't show it on my face and continued to follow behind with a calm expression.
This went on until dark, and many groups of people changed the sedan bearers along the way. They also brought food and drink to them, but there was no one for Li Ji. Li Ji didn't care. He drank water and ate dry food without any worries.
Didn't care.
We finally arrived, but Li Ji didn't think it was like a mining place. It looked more like he had gone around in a big circle and back to Zhengding City. When he had nothing to do, he walked around the whole city.
Although it cannot be said to be Zhengding City, it should be Zhuangzi of a wealthy family outside.
Since it is not built in the city, the bigger the better. Li Ji made a rough estimate that this house is at least two or three times larger than the Wei family, and it is extremely majestic.
Li Ji raised his head and took a look. He wrote the word "Huafu" in his handwriting, which was like a snake and a dragon. It seemed that it was written by a famous master. The gate of the mansion was six feet high and four feet wide, and the whole body was covered with thick copper.
It is made of leather and is inlaid with dozens of huge door nails.
On both sides of the door, there is a polished bronze lion with its teeth and claws spread out, which is very majestic.
There are thirteen steps in front of the door, all made of marble. Judging from their smoothness, it seems that many people have visited here.
There was a thin old man standing at the door, as if he was waiting for someone. After seeing the sedan chair of Wei Wuyue and his party, he was overjoyed and greeted him with a smile on his face.
After the sedan stopped safely, Wei Wuyue tidied his clothes this time and got off the sedan.
"Master Wei, you have finally arrived. My master has been talking about you an hour or two ago. Come into the house quickly. I will be very happy to see Master Wei."
The old man said that he was extremely happy and greeted him as he spoke.
The two young men looked at each other and Wei Wuyue nodded, then walked in.
"Well, am I here now? Why, Brother Hua can't wait any longer? Lead the way, I want to have a few drinks with Brother Hua!" Wei Wuyue said with a smile.
"Master Wei, please come this way!"
"Oh, by the way, your name is Li Ji, right?
, come in too."
After walking a few steps, Wei Wuyue seemed to remember something and turned back to Li Ji.
Li Ji didn't say anything. It was obvious that Wei Wuyue didn't take him to see the mineral veins, but to attend the party. Moreover, it seemed that it was held at night. He deliberately went out early in the morning, probably to polish his spirit and make himself better.
He gave in, but the more he did this, the more Li Ji wanted to leave. At this time, he suddenly remembered the four people he saw at Xiaoshizi Restaurant.
After a pause, Li Ji followed and walked in.
In the living room of Washington Mansion, many people gathered at the moment. At a glance, there were probably dozens of people, but Li Ji didn't pay attention. The task he got from Wei Ye was to guard the mines, not to protect them.
He belongs to the Wei family. As for what Wei Ye wrote in the letter to Wei Wuyue, he doesn't care. If it weren't for Wei Yan's relationship, Li Ji would have left long ago and is still here? Looking at it
Wei Wuyue's boring trick.
"Master Hua is here!"
A servant's call made the entire living room quiet, and everyone's eyes were fixed on the side door of the living room.
I saw two maids walking out of the side door first, standing on both sides of the main seat, and then an old man walked out with the support of a young woman. The old man sat on the main seat, and the woman sat on the main seat.
aside.
Seeing that they were all seated, everyone who was sitting saluted and said, "Hello, Mr. Hua, hello, Miss Hua!"
Li Ji took a glance and found that Wei Wuyue actually saluted. Obviously, Mr. Hua was an extremely important figure in Zhengding Mansion.
"In fact, it's not a big deal to call everyone here today. It's just that my granddaughter Hua Zheng has reached the age of marriage, so I invite you all to come and see if any young talents can catch my granddaughter's eye."
The old man touched his beard on his chin and said to everyone with a smile.
When he said this, Li Jicai noticed that among the dozens of people, there were many young men who obviously knew what the party was about, so no one was surprised when the old man said these words.
look.
When the young woman heard what the old man said, her face turned red and she said in a coquettish voice, "Grandpa! I don't want to get married, I want to take care of grandpa all the time."
The old man fondly touched Hua Zheng's head, and said with a chuckle: "Zheng'er, how can there be a girl who doesn't want to marry? Besides, in the future, I will come back to see grandpa more often."
"No, Grandpa, I don't want it." Hua Zheng hugged Master Hua's arm and said coquettishly.
"Everyone, my granddaughter is my precious pearl. You should also know that there is only one condition for me to choose my grandson-in-law, that is, my granddaughter is pleasing to her eyes, and that is my grandson-in-law. Now, everyone brings their own young people
, come here and take a walk, as for whether you have this fate or not, it depends on me, your granddaughter."
Li Ji could see clearly that although Hua Zheng said he didn't want it, his big and smart eyes had already scanned the field again and again, as if he was afraid of missing someone.
Li Ji couldn't help but laugh. He looked at the other people present and found that the young men were already eager to try, with excited looks on their faces. He even saw that the two familiar faces were also a little familiar at this moment.
Excited, this is something Li Ji didn't expect. You know, these two, but
It's really puzzling that real cultivators can actually have ordinary hearts.
How did he know that these two had already been attracted to each other, but Li Ji didn't see it.
Li Ji was still thinking. Amidst the excitement of the crowd, the elders of each family had already come up with their children, and the main seat was surrounded by water.
Seeing their excitement, Li Ji felt very happy. He sat there quietly and looked at the field.
Almost all the people gathered around him. Even Wei Wuyue, who was beside him, also brought a few people over. However, what Li Ji suspected was that these people were not with them. They should have arrived long ago. Wei Wuyue's children and grandchildren
Bar.
However, after scanning around, Li Ji didn't find anything worth paying attention to. After all, the whole scene had become heated due to the old man's words. Apart from him, only a few people stayed away.
Some of them did not bring any descendants with them, they came alone, so naturally they would not join in the fun. There was one descendant, but they were as steady as a mountain, motionless, and they looked in the direction of Huatai, still
There was a bit of disdain. This made Li Ji feel confused.
Next to the old man was a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, but he had handsome features and tender skin. Taking a closer look, Li Ji found that he was obviously not a man. After all, he had a small hole in his earlobe. He was really a man.
Rarely, this is a girl disguised as a man.
Li Ji shook his head and smiled. It was strange that he had to go. How could he go to a girl's house?
Withdrawing his gaze, Li Jiwu took a sip of the wine in his glass, closed his eyes and rested his mind.
The girl dressed in men's clothing obviously noticed Li Ji's gaze. Her face turned red and she couldn't help but glared at Li Ji fiercely. But when she glared at him, she found that Li Ji had actually lowered his head and closed his eyes to rest.
, which made her very angry.
The old man on the side noticed the strange movement of his granddaughter and pulled slightly, and the girl calmed down. However, she still looked at Li Ji from time to time, her dark eyes rolling, and she didn't know what she was thinking.
While they were bored here, the protagonist of today's banquet, Miss Hua Zheng, was still choosing people who were destined to be destined. Those who were not attracted by her and were declared not destined to be destined, naturally could only return in disgrace.
When they arrived at their positions, their elders also showed a bit of regret on their faces.
A long time passed, and the hot dishes here were already cold. Hua Zheng hadn't finished reading yet, but thinking about it, this was something that would determine her whole life, so she had to be cautious.
Li Ji didn't care about that much. He closed his eyes and rested for a while. Looking at so many delicacies in front of him, especially the jug of good wine, he couldn't help it. Although eating dry food can satisfy him, after all, it can't be compared to
No, he was eating and drinking without paying any attention to the crowd.
When Li Ji had eaten and drank enough and was leaning there with satisfaction, Hua Zheng had already looked at all the people, but still couldn't find anyone she was satisfied with. Although everyone was a little dissatisfied, they still had no choice but to sit back on their own.
Location.
But at this moment, Huatai glanced at the two people, understood something in his eyes, looked at Li Ji again, and said: "This young master, please come up too. Since you are here, let me Zheng'er
