Chapter 73 The Ancestor's Temperament

The old man of the Chen family, who was very popular in the world and was called the ancestor, was riding in a paulownia cart with an indigo muslin skirt. His great-grandson Chen Yingquan was riding a horse beside the cart. He was followed by about a dozen elders and old servants. He could not be more low-key. Yes, I entered the side door of Li Mansion.

Mrs. Chen, along with Mr. Li Sanye, Mrs. Yuan and her granddaughter Li Ruo, had already been waiting at the door. Seeing the car of the ancestor of the Chen family come in, Mrs. Chen hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out her hand to open the curtain. Mr. Li Mrs. Chen hurriedly took a step forward, took the car curtain from her mother's hand and held it up. Mrs. Chen went to help the Chen family ancestor, but the Chen family ancestor waved her off, "Although I am old, I can still get out of the car by myself."

Mrs. Chen hastily withdrew her hand and let it go aside. Everyone knows that the old ancestor has a bad temper and keeps his promises.

"I haven't been here in your house for decades." The ancestor of the Chen family got out of the car, took the leading crutch from his great-grandson Chen Yingquan and leaned on it. He turned around and looked around, "Oh, look at you. It’s really deplorable that the house is like this now, let alone the old Prime Minister Li, the young Mr. Li... Forget it, Baiyun Canggou, who can predict the world’s events.”

Mrs. Chen lowered her head and listened, not knowing what to answer, it was simply impossible to answer.

"It's all about the incompetence of the descendants." Li Sanye looked guilty, and the ancestor of the Chen family nodded, "No, if it weren't for the incompetence of the descendants, why did your family come to this? Sigh, it makes people sad."

The words of the ancestor of the Chen family made Mr. Li blush and couldn't continue.Chen Yingquan looked at Mr. Li sympathetically, walked closer and said in a low voice: "Third Master, don't mind. My ancestor has such a temper. My father is often told that he can't hold his head up."

"My ears are fine." The ancestor of the Chen family stopped in front, and hit the ground twice with his crutches. Chen Yingquan blinked at Li Sanye, and said with his mouth: "Big temper!"

Mr. Li San burst out laughing but quickly held it back, and Mrs. Chen couldn't help but want to laugh. They all said that the ancestor loved his grandson the most, and it was true.

Mrs. Chen brought her son, daughter-in-law, granddaughter, and respectfully let the ancestor of the Chen family enter the back hall. The ancestor of the Chen family sat at the head, and several old servants who came in followed calmly and laid out tea trays on the table next to them. The teapot, tea bowl and tea leaked, Chen Yingquan apologized a little, "My ancestor only drinks his own tea, if you bother the third master, let someone bring you a red clay stove."

"Go quickly and take these down." Mrs. Chen hurriedly ordered. Mr. Li took a few steps, took the red clay stove, and personally carried it over.

The ancestor of the Chen family waited for the old servant to make tea and hand it over, picked it up and blew it for a while, took a sip, and licked his tongue a few times, then let out a sigh of satisfaction, looked at Mrs. Chen and asked: "Your eldest lady What? Why didn't you come?"

"Ruo'er." Mrs. Chen couldn't laugh or cry, she quickly pushed Li Ruo, "Give Patriarch a greeting, Patriarch doesn't remember Ruo'er?"

"I'm talking about your eldest lady, not her." The ancestor of the Chen family glanced at Li Ruo, "Your eldest lady is back. I came to see her."

Mrs. Chen was stunned for a moment, then her face changed, she wanted to laugh but she couldn't, "The ancestor really knows how to joke, Ruo'er is the eldest sister of our family, how can there be any other eldest lady..." Ying The ancestor of the Chen family squinted his eyes, and Mrs. Chen couldn't continue before she finished speaking.

"Ancestor, yesterday there was a girl who said she was from Lu'an, but she also said she was a descendant of the Li family in Nanyang. The old lady didn't know her roots and didn't dare to admit her relatives rashly. Ancestor also knows that people like us are confused. Bloodline is a big deal, so let’s put her down first. I already asked people to inquire about her yesterday. Only after we find out that she is really a descendant of the Li family and open an ancestral hall to recognize her ancestors and return to the clan can we discuss the order and ranking.”

Seeing that Mrs. Chen was having difficulty explaining, Li Ruo explained calmly.

"Invite her here. I made this trip specifically to meet her. Xiao Qi of the Pei family said she is the eldest lady in your family, so that's right." The ancestor of the Chen family ignored Li Ruo's explanation and ordered again.

Mrs. Chen's face was livid, she was sitting on the chair, her back as straight as an iron rod. Mr. Li looked at Mrs. Chen in a panic. Mrs. Yuan crossed her teeth in anger and wanted to stare at the ancestor of the Chen family. He didn't dare, so he just stared at the shoes of the ancestor of the Chen family and became angry.

Li Ruo's face turned pale, looking at Mrs. Chen who was about to explode, subconsciously looked at Chen Yingquan, Chen Yingquan shook his head at her, Li Ruo looked back, lowered his head and stopped talking.

"Bring me that box." The ancestor of the Chen family ordered the old servant, and the old servant immediately bent down and took out an old and faded long box from the box full of tea, and handed it to the ancestor of the Chen family.

The ancestor of the Chen family changed hands and handed the box to Mrs. Chen, "This is brought by Pei family's Xiaoshiqi. I have read it all, you can take a look."

Mr. Li hurried forward to take the box, stepped back and handed it to Madam Chen. The box opened as soon as it was lifted, and there were several rolls of yellow and old paper inside.Mrs. Chen took out the top and most obsolete one, pulled it away, and after only one glance, her eyes blurred, and she shook her body.

Standing next to Mrs. Chen, Mr. Li San could see clearly. His face turned pale after just one glance.

This is a marriage certificate, and his father Li Ronghai's name on the marriage certificate is extremely eye-catching.

"There are more inside, look at them one by one." The voice of the ancestor of the Chen family sounded very happy.Chen Yingquan looked at his ancestor with a look of helplessness.

In the box, besides Li Ronghai's marriage letter, there was also Li Changnan's marriage letter, and Li Changnan's handwritten letter to Gao Yannian.

"Things are things, this person..." Mrs. Chen felt a breath of suffocation in her chest, and she had to let it out.

"I heard that the eldest lady and the ancestor of the Li family are very similar in birth." The ancestor of the Chen family sipped his tea, "Whether the Li family recognizes it or not is a matter for your Li family. I have lived for so many years and never cared about my own business. When I was young, there were not many people who could tell the truth, old Li Xiangguo was one of them, alas, in the blink of an eye, he has passed away for decades, and being able to see his descendants is also a consolation."

Mrs. Chen's hands were so trembling that she could hardly hold the box. Li Ruo hurriedly stepped forward to hold the box and persuaded in a low voice: "Grandma, ancestor, come here in person..."

Mrs. Chen took a deep breath, "Go and invite her."

…………

Li Yan slept very sweetly that night. In this strange and hostile place, she felt as if she had returned home. No one in this small courtyard told her the rules. Li Yan slept until three o'clock in the morning. Mother-in-law She had just finished washing and was changing clothes when he came running over to ask her to go to the back hall.

Hearing that someone from the Chen residence came to see her, the only thing Li Yan could think of was Chen Yanfeng.He changed his clothes in a hurry, drank a bowl of porridge, and ate two meat buns. Then he took Yushu and Kongmao and followed the mother-in-law to the back hall.
