"The old lady has extraordinary eyesight, Wenchang admires it!"

Li Li smiled and nodded, and said with a smile: "Mrs. I am from the northern part of Xiliang. I made a special trip to Yangzhou for study tour. I didn't expect to encounter heavy rain on the way, so I had to come to your mansion to take shelter from the rain. Thanks to the favor of the heavens, I actually met a good person like my wife and lady with a bodhisattva-minded heart, which is a great blessing!"

"Oh, Wenchang knows Bodhisattva, do you believe in Buddhism?" Bu's mother asked with surprise.

"Uh?" Li Li looked shocked and hesitated a little, and said with a smile: "I have heard of Buddhism and have also made a special trip to Xuzhou to worship Buddhist temples. I know that Buddhism encourages people to be humble, accumulate virtue and do good deeds, and good deeds will bring good results. But I am not a Buddhist believer. Buddhism is vast, and it is necessary to save sentient beings. It is necessary to accumulate virtue and do good deeds. If you don't seek good deeds, you will be rewarded with good deeds, but you will be worthy of your heart. However, in troubled times, there are many things that are unscrupulous. Buddhism emphasizes putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha immediately. Obviously, this statement does not work nowadays. Therefore, it disappoints the wife. Wenchang knows Buddhism but does not believe in Buddhism, and he cannot do it himself."

As he spoke, Li Li was also wondering: "What's this all about! Xuzhou Zurong is also half a footsteps in Buddhism. His real purpose in building Buddhist temples was to get money and grain, recruit young and strong people to make bad plans and have no good intentions. Besides, does I, Li Li, have something to do with Buddhism?"

"Well. Wenchang doesn't have to care. It doesn't matter whether you believe in Buddhism or not." After Li Li finished speaking, Mrs. Bu's expression remained unchanged, and her face was still full of a kind smile. Then she laughed and said, "I don't know why, but when I saw Wenchang today, I was very happy. Wenchang must stay in the humble house for a few more days this time. If Wenchang doesn't mind, call me aunt in the future, so as not to get too distracted. I wonder what Wenchang wants to do?"

"Okay, okay, so good!" Li Li smiled and agreed, and then said with a laugh: "Auntie doesn't know. In fact, I have thought of this for a long time, but I am worried that it is too abrupt and rude, so I have never dared to speak. I didn't expect that my aunt actually thought of going with my nephew. This is fate. From this we can see that my aunt and I must have been relatives in the previous life, and we will only meet again in this life and feel very close. Hahaha!"

"You child is really good at speaking, and it's all in my heart." Mrs. Bu looked at Li Li with joy. The look of love in her eyes was exactly the same as the mother's eyes when she looked at her baby son.

After curling her laughter, she smiled and said to Li Li: "Wenchang, no matter who you are or what your status, I will recognize you as my nephew from now on. What do you think?"

Obviously, Mrs. Bu was able to say this, which means that she had truly recognized Li Li. Therefore, she spoke casually and straightforwardly, not as humble and polite as before.

When Li Li heard that Bu’s mother wanted to recognize her as her nephew, the smile on her face gradually calmed down. She immediately stood up and walked to her side, leaned over and kneeled down: "From today, Wenchang will be his aunt's nephew. You should take care of yourself in the future!"

"Aunt?" Bu's mother was slightly surprised, but she did not hesitate at all. She stood up and helped Li Li up.

Li Li stood up and sat beside Bu’s mother, saying with a sad expression: “Auntie doesn’t know that my nephew’s parents have passed away for many years. I didn’t say it just now, my nephew was afraid of being rude, but now I don’t have to worry about this. Please don’t blame me.”

"Silly child, how could aunt blame you!" After hearing this, Bu's mother's eyes couldn't help but be wet. Then she gently touched Li Li's hair and said softly with kind face: "Wenchang is observant and calm. When she sat down to eat, I found that your eyes were filled with worry. I must have seen that I was sick for a long time and I hadn't had too many days? That's why you called me aunt to show respect for me, a terminally ill person. Am I right?"

"Yeah." Li Li nodded with a heavy expression, then grinned and comforted: "Auntie, please be relieved. There are two miracle doctors in my nephew's family. Then my aunt moved to my nephew's house to live in. It can not only cure the disease, but also allow my nephew to serve him sooner or later. Isn't this the best of both worlds?"

"Has Wenchang got married?" Bu's mother's expression changed slightly and she asked.

Seeing Bu's mother's expression strange, Li Li would not hide it at all at this time and nodded bluntly and said, "Yes, my nephew got married two years ago. My nephew and his brother grew up in the military camp since they were young and joined the army at the age of fifteen. It has been six years since then. For six years, my nephew has been running around the battlefield, earning some fame, and buying a family business, marrying a wife and having children, and living a pretty good life. This time, I came to Yangzhou, one for a while, one for a while to study and gaining knowledge; the other for a private matter to prepare for future needs."

After listening to Li Li's story, Bu's mother was very pleased and said, "Wenchang's parents died early. They fought on the battlefield at the age of fifteen, but they should start a family and start a business as soon as possible. God has eyes, Wenchang has great fortune and great fortune. Not only can they win fame, but they can also earn a family business. I am happy for you!"

After a short pause, Bu's mother pushed a few meat dishes on the table to Li Li and smiled and said, "Since Wenchang is a military general, I'm afraid he didn't eat enough just now! Come on, you must eat enough today. If you don't have enough food, let the trainer make it for you!"

Bu's mother said this to Li Li. Most of the roast chicken is not enough to eat, at most it can fill her stomach. So he started to eat it again and said while eating: "These dishes on the table should be enough to eat, so there is no need to worry about Miss Bu's making it."

After hearing this, Bu's mother was dissatisfied and waved her hand and said, "What are you talking about Wenchang? You are my nephew, and the trainer is your sister. What's wrong with asking her to cook some food for you!"

"Oh, by the way, look at my memory!" Before Bu's mother finished speaking, she seemed to have thought about something, and then said, "Wenchang still lives in the east wing room. After dinner, you can move to the front yard. Well, that's it!"

After saying that, Bu's mother stood up with the round table and laughed: "Wenchang eats slowly, my aunt is just a sick person, so she will go back to her room to rest first."

"Oh, aunt, I'll help you back to your room to rest!" Li Li stood up immediately after hearing this, stepped to Bu's mother, and said with her arm.

Bu’s mother waved her hand and said, “No, just have a trainer to help me. Wenchang quickly sit down. You haven’t drunk this jar of wine in one sip!”

Immediately, Bu Lianshi helped Bu Mu slowly walk out of the side door and disappeared from Li Li's sight.

So he was left in the lobby with a large meal, eating and drinking, which was very comfortable.

———————————————————

Back hall interior room.

Bu’s mother lay on the bed, with a thick brocade quilt on her back, took the water cup handed by Master Bu and took a sip of water to moisten her throat. Then she sighed with joy: “I didn’t expect that for my mother, she could still accept such an excellent nephew, which is worth the vain of her life!”

"Mother, you trust people too easily!"

Bu Lianshi stood at the head of the bed, and Qianqianyu clenched her hands into pink fists and gently tapped her mother's shoulder, and said in anger: "You have only seen this with him in total. In less than half an hour, let's see how happy he has coaxed you! This guy is clever and flirtatious, and he is so good at coaxing people!

Look, you were so confused that you were so tired that you didn't even care about your own daughter, and you wanted to treat him as your own son. What if he was a liar? Just because he coaxed you so happily, I'm afraid you would give him whatever you asked for. Mother, is your daughter right?"

"What are you talking about? Is it really that easy to deceive Mom?"

Bu's mother raised her hand and grabbed Bu Lianshi's hand, signaled her to stop, then pulled her to sit by the bed, looked at her daughter with care, and said softly: "When have you ever missed me over the years? I used to help refugees and those down-and-out scholars before, and was intentional, in order to leave a good reputation for my Bu family, so as to raise the door of our Bu Mansion so that we can find a good family for you in the future. In Yangzhou, our Bu family is an outsider after all, and is incompatible with the Yangzhou gentry. If we don't have a good reputation, how can we gain a foothold in Yangzhou!

However, when the reputation of our Bu Mansion was spread, we could stop when we saw it, and we stopped in time. Last winter, I had already stopped. I didn’t expect you to be kind today and took in a group of people. At that time, my mother didn’t agree. Now it seems that you have a better vision. My daughter has finally grown up and can stand alone!”

"Mother, what do you want to say? Why is the more you listen to your daughter, the more confused you become?" Mr. Bu asked in confusion.

"Hahaha!" Bu's mother smiled happily, "Silly child, the identities of the guests you have taken in this time are not simple! Especially Wenchang, based on his conversational temperament and calm expression, and the strength and domineeringness he showed in his every move, do you think he is a down-and-out study scholar?"

Bu Lianshi shook his head with a blushed face and said, "Of course he is not a scholar. Just because he is so tall and strong, he doesn't look like a weak scholar. Besides, he has said just now that he is a military general, and he is a general who has been fighting for many years. Judging from his arrogant expression when he speaks, he should be doing well. At least he should be a general in command, not like a middle and low-level general. Otherwise, he would not have so much money to buy a family business, marry and have children!"

"Hahaha!" Looking at the angry look of Bu Lianshi's red lips, Bu's mother laughed in silence and laughed jokingly: "My good daughter is right. Wenchang is not old, but she has already married and had children. It's really a little too early. Trainer, what do you think?"

Mr. Bu lowered his head, twisted his clothes with his delicate hands, and did not see Bu's mother's joking smile. Therefore, when she heard the words, she looked quite angry and continued: "Isn't that true? Look how old he is this year, he is only twenty-one years old, and he already has children! This is too early. In my opinion, he is a lustful person, impatient, and has a little bit of family background, so he is in a hurry to find a beautiful woman to get married!"
