Chen Qiu went to the banquet. In the side hall of Li's mansion, Li Yijian and his father were already waiting.

The sound of silk and bamboo came from outside the side hall. This was the accompaniment of the high-ranking families when they were having dinner, which was very stylish, but the father and son of the Li family were quarreling faintly.

"My son, your long journey scared your mother very much."

Li Yijian's father was a middle-aged man with a big belly. He wore a rich shirt and a soft hat. He had been pampering for a long time, which made Mr. Li not like a haggard old man of the era.

When he was young, he also broke out of the Li family's great business. He spoke slowly, but he also had the awe of the head of the family.

Because it was a family dinner, Mr. Li did not wear it very formally.

At this time, he was scolding his incompetent son, who was not worry-free.

He said:

"The few days you left, your mother has been praying for you in the Buddhist temple to recite scriptures. Your father and I even beg you to worship grandma, so that people can find you in Xiaoxiang, and even use the relationship between Xiaoxiang Sword Sect."

Speaking of this, Mr. Li rubbed his heart with great distress.

Since ancient times, human debt has been the hardest to pay, not to mention that the other party is the backer of his own family business, so he has to make a heavy blow this time.

But this foolish boy from my family didn't go to Xiaoxiang, and all his efforts were wasted.

It can be said to be a fucking fuck.

People who do business hate this kind of loss-making business the most.

Therefore, as soon as Li Yijian entered the house, his father scolded him hard, but the only son returned safely, which also made Mr. Li and Mrs. Li breathe a sigh of relief.

"I said dad, don't always talk about such a small loss."

Li Yijian wore a hat to cover up his baldness, and he said to his father:

"Especially in front of Senior Brother Shen Qiu and Miss Qingqing, don't say that, my Li family seems stingy, and my son wants to save face."

"What do you know, you prodigal son!"

Mr. Li lamented, and he said:

"I went to Xiaoxiang with your grandfather to deliver medicine, and I had good luck, so I took the opportunity to buy and manage the business of Xiaoxiang Jianmen. Over the years, if the martial arts sect were not supported by the support of the martial arts sect, how could my family be as rich as it is now?"

"You are doing your own thing this time, forcing your dad to use this relationship. If you can't handle it well afterwards, it will hurt my family."

"It's Xiaoxiang Jianmen gets so many medicinal materials from our family every year!"

The bald boy said unconvincedly:

"It's like a bottomless pit. Dad, it's not me that the martial arts sect's eating habits are a bit ugly... Don't be angry, listen to your son."

Li Yijian whispered to his father about saving Miss Lei Shiyin and Shen Qiu.

Mr. Li, who was feeling distressed just now, had a subtle expression now. He played with the jade ring on his finger, thought for a while, and nodded slightly.

He said with great comfort:

"My son is indeed lucky. I am afraid that this thing Miss Shiyin promised in person will not cause much trouble. In the future, my family will have a relationship with the Heluo Gang, so there will be no need to worry about the Zhongyuan trade route."

"Yes, Dad."

The bald boy said:

"The Heluo Gang is also from a chamber of commerce, so naturally he will not look down on my family. It is much better to do business with them than spending money to fill the land of Xiaoxiang. I think it is better to cut off the supply..."

"No! No!"

Mr. Li was startled and immediately interrupted his stupid son's thoughts. He said seriously:

"My son still has too little experience. How can he do such an unpleasant thing?

"The Heluo Gang may not be afraid of Xiaoxiang Jianmen, but how can my Li family be a small merchant who is a martial arts sect? If my family really joins the Heluo Gang, Xiaoxiang will still be supplied every year, and our family will not be short of that little money."

Mr. Li breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile:

"Son, I don't know much about this world of the world for my father, but I still know the truth about spending some money and buying peace."

"With the reputation of Xiaoxiang Jianmen, my Li Family Pharmaceutical Store is in the two lakes, so it can be safe. As long as the entry is bigger than the exit, it is not a bad deal."

"What my father is thinking about."

Li Yijian said this, but he actually disagreed.

He was young and always felt that the Xiaoxiang Sword Sect was taking advantage of his family. Those swordsmen didn't pay for medicine from their own business, so he met a figure in the martial arts world this time.

Although Senior Brother Chen Qiu treats others indifferently, his impression in the heart of the Tupai boy was much better than the swordsmen of Xiaoxiang Sword Sect.

"besides!"

Mr. Li was led by his son, but he was a shrewd person after all. How could Li Yijian escape quietly?

He glared at his son and said:

"This time you acted recklessly, scared your mother and almost caused trouble. In the next three months, you will not leave the mansion! You will be very worried about your mother's mistakes! You can eat vegetarian food and recite the Buddha's name for a few days."

"Dad!"

When the bald boy heard that he was being confined, he was a little anxious. He said:

"My son knew that his mistake was wrong, so he didn't mention the matter of exploring the world. But I am a good man and a good time, how can I waste my time at home? My mother and I just agreed that when my hair grows out, we will follow the family manager to practice..."

"Then you have to wait 3 months before you talk about it!"

Mr. Li snorted and said:

"You have to grind your character. You were really too arrogant for your father before!"

After saying that, when he saw his son being depressed, Mr. Li felt a little embarrassed and said softly:

"You hear from my father that I am not deliberately trying to ban you. Yesterday, I went to a banquet for my father. I heard from my friend that the court would draw the government troops to go to Qilu to wipe out the right and wrong villages."

"This Qilu land is about to be in chaos. I have made your family think of your mistakes, and even if you want to go out to practice after March, you cannot go to Qilu."

"Two lakes, Guangdong and Guangxi, Jiangnan will go with you, but Qi and Lu are not allowed!"

Mr. Li sighed, he patted his son on the shoulder and said:

"Son, my Li family has a difficult life. Two generations of birth are the only ones. You are the lifeblood of your father and your mother."

"You have grown up and must not act so recklessly in the future. It doesn't matter if you spend all your wealth for your father. As long as you live peacefully and can continue the inheritance of our Li family, you will be satisfied with your father."

Although the bald boy is a little bit second, he is not someone who can't listen.

His father's true feelings made him unable to refuse, so he nodded and stopped refuting. After a while, the maid Hanxiang took Chen Qiu and Qingqing into the side hall, and Li Yijian immediately stood up to greet him.

Mr. Li also stood up with a smile and invited the two young heroes to take their seats.

This banquet was not luxurious. Perhaps Li Yijian told his father that Chen Qiu's temper was not done with the surface work, and the dishes were all real hard dishes.

The Li family had also received people from the world before. Master Li knew that these people from the world were unbearable to etiquette and could not bear the constraints, and could not enjoy the rich clothes and food. He waved his hand to stop the sound of silk and bamboo, leaving only caring family members to serve.

In this way, Chen Qiu became much more relaxed.

The feeling of being watched by many people during a meal is really hard to describe.

"Come on, Young Master Chen, I'll give you a cup for my incompetent son."

Mr. Li picked up the wine glass, said to Chen Qiu with 70% sincerity and 30% flattery:

"If it weren't for you and Miss Qingqing's support, my son wouldn't be able to go home safely. My son would definitely cause trouble for you. I'll apologize for this glass of wine."

"Uncle Li doesn't need so much politeness."

Chen Qiu thought about it and called Mr. Li in front of him as his uncle. This title made Mr. Li's smile even more.

He and Shen Qiu had a glass of wine and greeted Qingqing to eat the vegetables. His face was gentle, just like the old man next door.

Mr. Li started from scratch and created this family business. He was also a smart person who had his own way of dealing with people.

The girl Qingqing came on the table, which was not as casual as before. She thanked Mr. Li politely, and she was eating slowly, which was quite a bit like a jasper in the family. Mr. Li nodded repeatedly when she saw it.

It would be a good thing if my son could marry such a gentle Jiangnan girl in the future.

"Young Master Chen, since you call me uncle, I will rely on my seniority and call you a virtuous nephew."

Mr. Li put down his wine glass, picked up the dish, and said to Chen Qiu:

"You and my son hit it off at first sight, and helped me a lot. My son recognized you as a hero in the world and learned a lot from his nephew."

"Of course, the relationship between my Li family and my nephew should be closer."

He pondered for a moment and said:

"Although I am not a man from the martial arts world, I also know that any hero in the martial arts world must be tempered by medicine, and there must be a lot of preparations to prevent accidents. I heard from my son that my nephew does not like money, so he will not use the empty prescription to repay you."

"My Li family also has a business name in Suzhou. If you need it in the future, you can use it yourself, and you don't need it. If there is any shortage, I will also retrieve the supply from other places."

“That’s too much.”

Chen Qiu put down his chopsticks and said to Mr. Li with a smile:

"Why should uncle do this? Brother Li is a good person and heavenly person. Even without me, he will return safely."

"Besides, my uncle is a businessman, and it is quite difficult to support my family. My junior sister and I are juniors. How dare I let my uncle do such a loss-making business?"

"Oh, Senior Brother Chen Qiu."
