Chapter 2 Li Family Affairs
Lijiacun is not too far from Jingxu Mountain.
After only half a day's journey, Jiang Wen arrived at Lijia Village with Mr. Li's carriage.
On the way, he found out the identity of Mr. Li's family.
He is the former Minister of Household Affairs of Daqian, and he is already sixty-eight years old has three sons and one eldest son came second in the examination and is now the prefect of 'er won the second place in the imperial examination last year and is now staying in the Hanlin Academy.
The one who drowned was the youngest son, a boy of only eighteen years old.
Mr. Li had a son in his old age. After leaving office, he returned to Lijiacun to recuperate and teach his younger son.
Unexpectedly, his younger son had everything he wanted to eat, drink and play. Mr. Li doted on his younger son but was reluctant to beat or scold him. Such a disaster occurred due to his indulgence.
When talking about this, Mr. Li burst into tears and sobbed uncontrollably.
"If I had known that my pampering would harm him, I should have strictly disciplined him in the first place, and this would never have happened."
Mr. Li blamed himself, and Jiang Wen didn't feel comfortable saying could only let out a long sigh and said in a soothing tone: "This is destiny, and no one can violate it. I hope Mr. Li can be at ease."
"Ugh."
The two exchanged words, and the carriage soon stopped in front of a vermilion gate.
Jiang Wen dismounted and looked towards the Li Mansion. He couldn't help but sigh that the Li family man was once worthy of being the Minister of Household Affairs, and the place he lived in was magnificent.
The stone pavement in front of the door is not stained with mud and lions more than ten feet tall on both sides of the gate are majestic.
Look at the vermilion door again, with copper nails criss-crossing it, which is very majestic.
The servants on both sides have been waiting for a long time, and they all welcomed Master Li's return with scene was comparable to the leaders' inspection scenes Jiang Wen had seen, and it vividly reflected what it means to be a family of high-ranking officials.
Thinking that Mr. Li's deposit was a pound of gold, Jiang Wen had no idea about this scene.
Mr. Li got out of the car behind Jiang Wen. He greeted Jiang Wen respectfully, and then asked the servant to open the front door.
In ancient times, for wealthy families, the front door would usually be opened only when major events occurred.
The Li family master treated Jiang Wen like a distinguished guest.
"Thank you for your help," Mr. Li said.
"Master Li, please be at ease. I see that I have a lot of luck and blessings from the gods. Even if my son goes to hell, he will be reborn in a good pregnancy." Jiang Wen said something nice, which made Master Li happy.
A smile appeared on his depressed face, and he bowed his hands to Jiang Wen again: "Thank you, Immortal, for your advice."
"Shan, from now on I only need to be pious to the gods, and the gods will take care of them." There was a hidden meaning in Jiang Wen's words, which can be regarded as the basic ability of a Taoist priest to do business.
Jiang Wen felt that Master Li's words were half true and half false.
The fake one is a ghost, but the real one is the uneasiness in Mr. Li’s heart.
After all, while taking care of his youngest son, he could still let him is extremely devastating to a high-ranking official of the third rank.
What's more, Mr. Li's beloved son would naturally feel that he had failed to do a good job and caused his youngest son to die.
In a daze, he felt that everything that happened in the house was caused by the ghost of his younger son.
After all, what Mr. Li wants is peace of mind.
Jiang Wen has seen a lot of this kind of situation after inheriting his Taoist temple.
Those who were considered fake monks and Taoist priests simply did not put their words into Mr. Li's heart.
Poor parents in the world, Jiang Wen sighed in his heart.
When the time comes, I will recite the Purana Sutra several times and perform ritual rituals, which will be regarded as giving spiritual sustenance to Mr. Li.
"Please, Immortal." Mr. Li warmly invited Jiang Wen into the mansion.
I met Mrs. Li and her second daughter-in-law, Ms. Zhang, and walked with Mr. Li in Li's house.
Jiang Wen finally saw how extravagant the ancients were.
The area of Li's Mansion is like a park, surrounded by pools, rockeries, and lined with pavilions and are many maids and servants in the mansion, all of whom are well dressed.
Everywhere you go, there are musicians playing and dancing, which makes people linger.
It's no wonder that there is a word like "luckily thinking about Shu". It really seems to be a squandering of flowers that gradually becomes it was time to dine, there were even more delicacies in Li's house. Jiang Wen also met several of Mr. Li's grandsons at the banquet.
The big one is handsome, the small one is all looked at Jiang Wen curiously.
A young grandson even boldly asked Jiang Wen if he was a fake Taoist made everyone laugh, thinking it was just a child's talk.
Jiang Wen wasn't angry, he just nodded with a smile, took out his phone and took a photo of the kid.
Handing the phone to the boy, the boy's eyes widened.
Everyone in the Li Mansion also looked at their mobile phones and marveled at this unknown magical thought that this was some kind of magical artifact from the Immortal Family that could actually frame people in it.
The boy's mother, Mrs. Zhang, was even more flustered when she saw it. She was afraid that Jiang Wen had captured the boy's soul, and her tone was quite pleading.
"Please don't be angry, the Immortal. Ming'er is just a child. The Immortal will forgive him once and don't try to capture him."
Jiang Wenfuxu glanced at everyone, deleted the photo, and then slowly said: "Don't be like this, I'm just teasing this kid."
Everyone in the Li Mansion breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that the Immortal Chief did not pursue the , the banquet returned to liveliness, but no one dared to look down upon this Taoist from Jingxu Temple.
Seeing that his goal was achieved, Jiang Wen felt is not afraid of being misunderstood as a fake Taoist priest. After all, modern electronic devices are so magical that they can be used casually to fool the ancients.
He saw that the banquet was still lively, but it was a little more restrained than before.
An idea came to my mind and I took out the Bluetooth speaker from my he slowly stood up and bowed to Mr. Li.
"If you are a poor man, Mr. Li is so kind to you, so you will show your humiliation once."
After saying that, under the curious eyes of everyone, he clicked on the Bluetooth speaker.
A melodious piece of Tianfu music sounded in the living room.
Hearing this heavenly music, everyone in the Li family fell into . Li even pinched his beard, closed his eyes and savored the music coming to Tiangong.
I have to say that Tianfu Music is indeed a divine song, perfectly presenting the ethereal and melodious feeling of an immortal, giving people a sense of sacredness.
When the music ended, the banquet was completely a long time, Mr. Li opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Wen, and asked again: "Immortal, this is a song from heaven."
"Exactly." Jiang Wen nodded with a Music is the music assigned to the Heavenly Palace in Journey to the West. It is not an exaggeration to say that it comes from heaven.
"Hey! It's like hearing the fairy music and my ears are suddenly bright!" Master Li sighed. "If you can listen to this fairy tune, you will have no regrets even if you die."
"I wonder if the lyrics and music are famous?"
"This is Tianfu music." Jiang Wen said with a smile.
"Tianfu Music, Tianfu Music. What a good name, what a good name!" Mr. Li drank all the wine freely and even chatted like a teenager at the banquet.
It wasn't until the end of the drinking that the banquet slowly dispersed.
The servants helped the drunk Mr. Li to rest, while the old lady thoughtfully arranged a guest room for Jiang Wen.
Jiang Wen moved in and was quite satisfied with the environment.
Although it is not as good as my own room with complete appliances, water and electricity, it is still comfortable to live washing up, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes to sleep.
After all, he was a little tired after running around all day.
As he drifted into sleep, Jiang Wen vaguely heard someone knocking on the forced his eyes open and looked outside, but there was a figure printed outside the door.
"Who is it?" Jiang Wen asked aloud.
The man at the door didn't answer, just stood silently.
Jiang Wen was quite confused, so he took out his cell phone and summoned the putting on her shoes, she walked to the door and opened it.
The trees outside the door are shadowy, and the night wind blows gently on the cheeks under the moonlight.
It was such a dark night, except for the still bright lights, there was no one this time, Li Mansion was quiet.
"No one?" Jiang Wen was a little surprised.
He suddenly seemed to sense something and turned to look at the bed where he had he saw his body lying peacefully on the bed.
"..." Jiang Wen felt that something was not good.
