Traveled through time with my ex-boyfriend [Chang Tian]

【Whoever holds the jade ring will marry】

Ye Fan's family's stewed pork with dried vegetables is about to be cooked, and the Li family on the next hill has already had their meals and went to work.

At this time, the sky was not yet dark, and the fiery red sunset against the light clouds made the land even more vast.

"Sister, this Anzhou is so bright!"

"That's right, it's different from the charm of the capital, does Ba Niang still like it?"

"Yes, I like it!"

It was two ladies who were talking, one in front of the other and one behind the other, stepping up the steps.

The one in front looked to be only six or seven years old, with a charming and bright appearance, a real beauty.

The one in the back is about ten years old, tall and thin, with a gentle temperament, although not as pretty as the little one, but still delicate and pleasant.

These two are Li Yao's own sisters - Er Niang and Ba Niang.

Li's father was lonely when he was young, but after he made a fortune, he attached great importance to blood. He married five wives and concubines and gave birth to eight children.

Li Yao is the elder, and he, Erniang, and Sanlang are all heirs. The remaining Silang, Wuniang, and their twins Liulang and Qilang are concubines.Ba Niang's biological mother was a singing girl, and she went away after giving birth to her.

Perhaps because she lost her mother since she was a child, Ba Niang is shy and reserved, and can only relax a little in front of Er Niang.

There are no mountains in the capital, and it was the first time for the two sisters to see such undulating and continuous terrain, and they felt very novel.

At the end of the steps is a highland of two feet square. An octagonal pavilion is built in the middle of the highland. Standing in the pavilion and looking around, you can have a panoramic view of the manor.

Ba Niang rarely showed a lively look, running up and down in front.After finally climbing the last step, the little lady was frightened before she could be happy.

On the opposite side of the gazebo, Li Yao and Li Sanlang came together, one on the left and the other on the right.

The two brothers are both tall and long-legged, and they came close in the blink of an eye.

Ba Niang didn't have time to hide, she just stood there with a pale face.

"Eh? Who is this?" Li Sanlang couldn't help but be amazed when he saw a delicate little girl suddenly.

It's no wonder that he can't even recognize his own sister, it's because there are so many Li family members and the situation is special.

The brothers fought with Li's father since they were young, and rarely got together with the sisters except during the New Year's holidays. Ba Niang was shy, and whenever they saw her, she would stick her head in her head and never show her face.

Li Yao caught a glimpse of Er Niang on the steps, his eyes fell back on Ba Niang, he paused, and tried to soften his tone, "You came with your elder sister?"

Li Sanlang looked at his elder brother in surprise, after hearing what he said, did he know him?

Ba Niang trembled, her pointy face turned three points paler.

She never thought that this big brother who was more terrifying than her father would talk to her.At this moment, she was so frightened that she wanted to scream and run away, how could she have the guts to answer?

Erniang stepped on the last step, only then did she see them, she quickly lifted her skirt and rushed forward.

She took Ba Niang's sweaty little hand, and respectfully greeted Li Yao, "I've seen you, brother."

Ba Niang also bent her knees in a panic, but she almost knelt on the ground because she was too nervous.

Li Yao nodded as if he didn't notice her gaffe.After thinking about it, I asked again, "Can I eat?"

"Thank you brother for remembering. When the evening bell rings, it will be used together with the big kitchen." Erniang replied with a warm and soft voice and a polite tone, "Is it available, brother?"

"I've used it too."

Next, there was nothing to say.

In contrast, Li Sanlang is much more at ease.He approached Erlang and asked with a smile, "Sister, who is this pretty doll?"

"What's 'handsome doll', this is Ba Niang." When facing him, Er Niang was obviously much closer.

Li Yao felt a little helpless.

Since Father Li left, he has regarded this family as his own responsibility, and at the same time, he is determined to take good care of his younger siblings.For this reason, he resigned his official position resolutely, stayed away from the quagmire of the capital, and came to this quiet and remote Hanjialing, just to let them live more comfortably.

Unexpectedly, the younger sisters were so afraid of her.

This was something he hadn't expected.

***

The hatchback separated, and Li Yao and Li Sanlang got off the high ground.

After all, Li Yao couldn't hold back, and asked unnaturally: "Do you know why they are afraid of me?"

Li Sanlang replied without thinking, "Don't talk about them, I'm afraid of you."

Li Yaofeng raised her eyes, "Are you afraid of me?"

Li Sanlang shrinks his neck - look, that's it!There is no need to speak at all, just a slight squint of these eyes, no one is not afraid!

Speaking of which, Li Yao and the brothers and sisters of the Li family don't look alike, especially the eyes. All the gentlemen of the Li family have a pair of standard peach blossom eyes, and only Li Yao has phoenix eyes.

Brown pupils, slightly long eye tails, and slightly pointed corners of the eyes, forming a sharp arc with the overlapping eyelids - born with an awe-inspiring majesty.

At this time, Li Yao was looking at Li Sanlang with these eyes, obviously not showing any anger, but it made him tense subconsciously.

"No, I'm not afraid at all!" Li Sanlang immediately changed his words, "Brother, you are so kind, you would never beat me with a whip, and you would never drag me to the school grounds to beat me unilaterally. How could I be afraid of you? ?”

He backed up while talking, and when he got to a safe distance, he ran away.

Li Yao shook his head and laughed.

Tell him to charge forward and take the enemy's head, he won't even blink his eyes, and instead of getting along with his younger siblings, it really stumps him.

Li Sanlang is an exception.

Li Yao was ten years older than Li Sanlang. He took him by his side when he was a child, taught him martial arts and the art of war, and would beat him up when he was mischievous. The relationship between the two was called brothers, but they were actually more like father and son.

As for the rest... If he hadn't learned about it after Father Li left, he wouldn't be right.

Now he doesn't have to go out to fight all year round and live under the same roof with his siblings, so they can't be afraid of him all the time, can they?

Li Yao sighed, took out a half-moon-shaped jade ring from his sleeve, held it in his palm and rubbed it lightly.

This is his habitual action when thinking.

The housekeeper came out of the narrow alley, saw him at a glance, and hurriedly greeted him.

"Back to Lord Hou, I have asked someone to send the things you asked to send earlier, and Ye Xiaolang has also accepted them."

"Ye Xiaolang?" Li Yao paused. As far as he knew, there was only one family named Ye in this Hanjialing, "But the family on the opposite slope?"

"Exactly!" The housekeeper bowed, as if he wanted to say something.

Li Yao couldn't help but see a delicate and interesting face - fear, bewilderment, surprise, doubt, anger, relief... It was the first time he knew that a person's expressions could be so rich.

Unexpectedly, he was the chubby little doll back then.

Li Yao hooked his lips, it was just a coincidence.

The butler raised his eyelids and looked at his face quietly.

Seeing him hesitant to speak, Li Yao said lightly, "Is there anything else?"

The steward saw that he asked proactively, and he was heartbroken, and said: "During dinner just now, I heard something from the old grandson. I don't know if the general told Lord Hou before he left..."

Old Suntou is the steward of the manor. The Li family has been far away in the capital these years, and he has been guarding here.

I thought what he was talking about was mostly about the manor, but Li Yao didn't care, and listened as he walked.

The housekeeper came up and made a complaint first, "Don't blame Hou Ye, I shouldn't have mentioned this matter, but the old grandson told me specifically, so I thought I should remind you."

"Go ahead."

"Hey!" The housekeeper bowed slightly, and he was almost trotting to keep up with Li Yao's pace. Same token."

Li Yao paused and said in a low voice, "What token is it?"

"It is said to be a pair of half-moon-shaped jade rings, about three inches long, carved with the cloud pattern of 'Harmony and Ruyi'. One was given to Ye Xiaolang, and the other was kept by the general."

"What's the matter?" Li Yao stopped and looked at the butler with brown eyes.

The housekeeper lowered his head, hesitated for a moment, and then replied: "Marriage contract."

Having said that, he didn't say much more.

After years of covenant, if it can be concluded peacefully, it will be considered a good story.Sigh, just sigh, the power and status of the two families are far apart now.

If Li's father is still alive, it's okay to say that the marriage contract was made by him, and it's a matter of compliance and abolishment.Now that he is gone, the word filial piety is at the fore, and the theory should not violate the will of the late father, but who will perform the contract?

Not to mention the younger brother of the Ye family, but just the character of Ye Xiaolang - if the rumors heard in the past few days are true... The housekeeper shook his head, no matter which lady he married, it would not be worth it!

At this time, Li Yao stood upright, his lips pursed into a straight line.

The housekeeper sighed secretly, do you want fame, filial piety, or the life of a sister?

He was worried about Master Hou.

After all, he couldn't hold back, and reminded: "The general must have made an appointment early in the morning. If you don't want to ask, which lady will keep the jade ring..."

Li Yao paused, and put the thing in his palm back into his sleeve without any trace.

"I see."

The butler was taken aback for a moment, uh, Master Hou's expression seemed even uglier.

"Don't bring up this matter again." Li Yao left this sentence and strode away.

The housekeeper wiped the sweat from his brow, and went to settle accounts with the old grandson.

At the same time, the Ye family cave.

Ye Fan was making medicinal wine, using the Ganoderma lucidum that Li Yao sent back.

"One tael of fresh ganoderma lucidum, three coins of dried wild ginseng, coarsely ground into granules, put into a gauze bag, and seal it... By the way, you need to tap it with a round object to enlarge the pores..."

Ye Fan recalled the precautions mentioned by the teacher in the elective course of medicine and wine, while twisting his neck to find a convenient tool.

"There's one over there." Fat Tuan reminded softly.

Ye Fan took a look, hey, is that a piece of jade?Round and round, it is appropriate.

It's it!
