Emperor Qiankun

Chapter 190: The New Year's Eve Reunion Banquet

The news spread quickly. Within the time it took to stick up an incense stick, all members of the Li family knew the breaking news that the Li family was about to take over the City Lord's Mansion.

For a moment, excitement, excitement, pride, and anticipation surged in the hearts of every member of the Li family.

The entire Li Mansion was in an uproar, everyone was busy, and the scene was bustling with activity.

Li Qingyuan and Su Yaoyue brought little Li Daoyi to the street. Looking at the dazzling array of New Year goods, they carefully selected many 'Spring Festival couplets' and 'Fu characters' again.

After all, the City Lord's Mansion covers a vast area and has many buildings, so the decorations required are naturally several times more than those of an ordinary mansion. They have to decorate this new mansion to make it lively and joyful.

......

That night, late at night, the Li family moved to the City Lord's Mansion in an orderly manner under the starlight.

After a busy whole day, the Li family had a simple meal and then dragged their tired but excited bodies back to their rooms to rest.

The next morning, just as the sky was getting light, the Li family got up, and each of them was full of energy and happily threw themselves into the cleaning.

Afterwards, everyone worked together to post brightly colored Spring Festival couplets and the bright red word "Fu".

After a midday, the City Lord's Mansion had been transformed into a new look, and was filled with the joy of the New Year.

Immediately, a piece of news spread throughout the streets and alleys of Heishan City - Li Changtian sincerely invited all the citizens in the city to the city lord's mansion to attend the reunion dinner and celebrate the New Year together!

......

After hearing the news, the people of Heishan City all praised the Li family.

Some people gave thumbs up and praised it highly:

"The Li family is truly kind and righteous! Black Mountain City is able to enjoy its present peace and stability thanks to Young Master Li. Now that they have taken over the City Lord's Mansion, they haven't forgotten us ordinary people, inviting us to a reunion dinner during the Lunar New Year. We will remember this kindness!"

Some elderly people shed tears and said with deep emotion:

"I've lived for most of my life, and I've never seen such a good head of household. The Li family is kind and righteous. Our Black Mountain City will surely prosper more and more in the future, and the lives of our common people will have hope!"

"..."

When the Li family heard the people's praise, they became more motivated and immediately started working non-stop.

In the kitchen, the sounds of pots and pans colliding, the sound of water splashing while washing vegetables, the rhythm of cutting vegetables briskly and powerfully, and the aroma of cooking wafting in the air.

Delicious dishes are being cooked in an orderly manner. The whole scene is busy yet orderly.

......

On a winter afternoon, white snowflakes fluttered down from the lead-gray sky.

Li Changtian stood in the courtyard of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the falling snow, and couldn't help but say: "Auspicious snow means a good harvest!"

As night slowly fell, the area in front of the City Lord's Mansion gradually became lively.

People came to the banquet one after another, and several elders of the Li family greeted them warmly at the door with smiles on their faces.

Among them were the wealthy merchants of the city, who brought with them precious gifts;

There were also warriors with great martial arts skills, holding their carefully forged blades or the secret manuals of martial arts that they usually treasured, and came to offer gifts;

There are also ordinary people who carry homemade bacon, freshly baked rice cakes and other special foods. Although the gifts are not expensive, they are full of deep thoughts.

......

At the hour of Hai, with a loud shout, all the food and wine are served on the table, and the reunion dinner officially begins.

Sitting in the main seat, Li Changtian, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood up in high spirits, with a smile on his face, and said some nice words symbolically.

Then, he waved his hand and said with a hearty smile:

"Everyone, eat as much as you want. Let's celebrate the New Year together!"

Everyone responded and started to eat with relish.

As the cups were passed around, the atmosphere became more and more lively. People toasted each other, talked and laughed, and it was very lively.

The banquet ended at midnight. The guests, having eaten and drunk their fill, were satisfied and stood up to say goodbye, leaving in all directions and returning home.

The Li family members did not stop. They faced the cold moonlight and began to clean up the "remnants" after the banquet.

......

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, on a pavilion, Li Qingyuan sat quietly alone, like a solitary wild goose isolated from the world.

His eyes were fixed on the distant night sky, his thoughts running wild.

Looking back, he has been in the Canglan Continent for more than a year.

During this period, he went through hardships, rebuilt his realm, and gradually emerged from an unknown little man.

Not only that, he also gained family and close friends here, and experienced the customs and culture of the Canglan Continent, etc.

He looked up at the bright moon, which hung high in the night sky, casting a cool light.

He closed his eyes slightly, feeling the pouring moonlight. The breeze blowing in his face brought a hint of coolness and brought a few light snowflakes.

......

Just as he was immersed in this tranquility, a gentle breeze blew by, bringing some snowflakes.

Then, a slight sound came into Li Qingyuan's ears.

He suddenly opened his eyes and turned his head to look, only to see a graceful figure coming towards him and finally stopping beside him.

The person who came was Su Yaoyue. She was wearing a long green dress, the sleeves of which fluttered in the wind, like a fairy descending to earth.

Her delicate face looked even more charming against the moonlight, and her beautiful eyes revealed a hint of concern.

At this time, Su Yaoyue opened her lips slightly and whispered, "Why are you here? I was wondering why I couldn't find you!"

Li Qingyuan smiled slightly and replied calmly, "I have nothing to do, so I came up to get some fresh air."

......

Hearing this, Su Yaoyue frowned slightly and asked:

"But I see you don't seem to be in a good mood. Today is New Year's Day, everyone is happy, why are you like this?"

Li Qingyuan replied absentmindedly, "No, I'm very happy."

Although he said this, he knew in his heart that the reason he was in a low mood was because the faces of those old guys in his previous life who made him extremely disgusted appeared involuntarily in his mind!

Su Yaoyue obviously didn't believe his words, and said coquettishly: "I don't see how happy you are."

As she spoke, she gently adjusted the hem of her skirt and then sat down gracefully next to Li Qingyuan.
