Li Youxin lives on West Street, and there is still a distance from Li Mansion. Li Yaonan went to Mo Bao Zhai first, bought a few gifts, and then slowly went to other courtyards.

This other courtyard is also owned by the Li Mansion. The Old Master Li is still alive, and he takes care of the clansman a lot, and has a close relationship with the clan.Old Master Li knew very well that a single tree cannot grow into a forest. The ancestor of the Li family was originally from mud legs. He only wished for a few more promising disciples in the clan, so that the Li family could truly enter the ranks of the aristocratic family.

Old Master Li's ideas and plans are very good, but it's a pity that he left too early. If he lived another 20 years, the Li family might be able to rise.

Logically speaking, even if this is the case, the relationship between the Li family and the family should not be too bad. The bad thing is that the wife married by Mrs. Li is short-sighted, arrogant, and petty-tempered, and it is too late to help her mother's family on weekdays. Will take care of the Li clan.

Now the Ma family is the guest of honor in Li's mansion, and the affection between the two families is no different from that of the whole family. With the help of the Li family, the cousin of the Ma family has also obtained an official position from the eighth rank. Officer, the Ma family has changed their family from now on.

On the contrary, the members of the Li clan became poor relatives who came to the door to greet the autumn wind. Even to congratulate, the old lady thought that there were too many of them, and she didn't bother to clean up the guest room.

With such a situation, how can the members of the Li clan not be angry, but what about the anger, after all, the Li family is the most promising branch of the Li clan, even if they feel angry again, they can only endure it, and only hope that the Li family will see In terms of relatives, you can support the children of the clan more.

It was because of this situation that Li Yaonan took a fancy to this situation, so he dared to put his ideas on the heads of his clansmen.

Don't look at the old lady's tyranny now, it's because the Li clan has demands from others. He has understood the laws of the Jin Dynasty. The same cannot be resisted, otherwise, where would the Dazong government come from.

Coincidentally, when Li Yaonan arrived, Li Youxin was entertaining guests in the courtyard, and it was said that they were two of his classmates.

Li Yaonan walked into the courtyard with a smile, without the slightest embarrassment of being uninvited. In the courtyard, besides Li Youxin and his classmates, there were three clan members. , a total of seven people from the Li clan came, and none of the gifts was left behind. Although it was not a very valuable item, it is not surprising that there are many gifts. Besides, these gifts are still quite affordable.

"Yao Nan, you're welcome, come here, why do you bring these things?" A clan brother disagreed, although there was a slight reproach on his face, there was no sense of blame in his eyes.

"It's good that the family brother doesn't dislike it. It's the first time Yaonan went out to visit friends, and he was afraid that he would be rude, so he felt very nervous. By the way, where are the three uncles? Yaonan hasn't gone to pay his respects yet." Li Yaonan replied very humbly, As for why they went out to visit friends for the first time, let them make up their minds.

Sure enough, after hearing his words, several people showed sympathy on their faces.

Li Yaonan secretly laughed in his heart, he didn't care about face or disrepute, since he lost his face, why would he need face, the more sympathy others have for him, the more beneficial it is.

"The three uncles have gone out, it's good that Yaonan has a heart. When they come back, I will definitely convey them to you." A clan elder replied with a smile.

Li Yaonan hurriedly bowed his hand to thank him, and then Li Youxin introduced two classmates to him, one surnamed Sun and the other surnamed Liu, both of them were scholars who took the exam in the same year as him, and they were also from poor families.

After meeting each other, Li Yaonan knew that they were discussing knowledge and preparing for next year's scientific examination.

It's just that it's better to come early than to come at a good time. Although Li Yaonan's trip has a different purpose, but being able to communicate with people more is also beneficial to his knowledge.

Several people talked freely, and Li Yaonan benefited a lot from their conversations, and the occasional questions he asked were also very touching, which made the brothers of the Li family look up to him even more.

It wasn't until the evening that Li Yaonan made an appointment to meet again tomorrow, and then he went back to the house full of satisfaction.

That night, several members of the Li family sat together to discuss. The younger generation might not be aware of it, but as an old fox who has lived for half his life, how could he not be suspicious of Li Yaonan's sudden visit.

The third elder sat on the main seat: "What do you mean by this kid?"

The second uncle brushed off his beard, and his eyes flashed brightly: "There is always someone to ask for, and he will go to the Three Treasures Hall for everything. This kid hides deep enough. It's a pity that the in-laws of the Zhang family are ruined, otherwise..."

A clan brother hesitated: "Second Uncle, are you mistaken? I don't think Yao Nan is a person with ulterior motives."

The second uncle opened his eyes wide, stared at him, and said bitterly: "You silly boy, I didn't say that he has ulterior motives. Li Yaonan is better than you, and he can stay in the Li family for many years without showing his flaws. How can you be a good friend?" Seniors, under courtesy, people must ask for something, do you understand!"

"Then this..." Li Youyou looked at Li Youxin, then at the gift Li Yaonan brought, and accepted it all, what should I do.

The second uncle was so angry that he blew his beard and stared: "It's not a rare thing, just accept it. You are so easy to take advantage of being a member of the clan. You just want to buy someone for a few small gifts. That kid will not act like this."

Li Youyou shut his mouth in embarrassment, anyway, what the elders said was always reasonable.

Li Youxin also pondered, for Li Yaonan's inexplicable overtures, he actually had a feeling in his heart, but he didn't know what exactly Li Yaonan was asking for?

In the end, several elders did not negotiate a result. Compared with the Li family, Li Yaonan's weight is still slightly lighter. Let's talk when we come.

What's more, they didn't believe that Li Yaonan could wait until he made an appointment to meet in five days, but he came to visit on the second day of his wedding, presumably they would know his purpose tomorrow, as to whether to help, it was up to Li Yaonan sincerity.

Everyone in the Li family didn't know that there was something wrong with Li Yaonan's marriage. In their eyes, Li Yaonan was the brother-in-law of Jingyang Hou's mansion, and it would be profitable to have a relationship with a wealthy family in Beijing.

When Li Yaonan came the next day, as soon as he reached the gate of the other courtyard, he was summoned by a servant, saying that the three uncles had invited him.

The other courtyard does not occupy a large area, and after entering the second gate, there is the main room inside, Li Yaonan was suspicious, he probably did not show any intentions yesterday, so he did not know why the three uncles called him, but he did not care too much, and made a good deal with the clan The relationship was originally his purpose.

After coming to the main courtyard, Li Yaonan saluted one by one, seeing several smiling elders, Li Yaonan remained calm, no matter whether they guessed something or not, they were not much different from him.

"Yao Nan is here, I haven't seen you for a few years, and he has grown up so much." The second uncle said kindly, with a pair of bright eyes hiding a smile.

"Yaonan is ashamed, thank you second uncle for thinking about it." Li Yaonan was respectful and polite, with a peaceful face.

The two of you talk to each other, and I talk to each other, and Li Yaonan is very good at it. After talking for half an hour, his mouth doesn't feel dry. On the contrary, the second uncle is a little restless. Could it be that he guessed wrong?Isn't this kid begging for someone?

Li Yaonan had his own considerations in his mind, although he really wanted to adopt him, he didn't intend to make it known to everyone, he only wanted to discuss it with Li Youxin, but now that his elders came out, he couldn't make up his mind.Speaking of which, he is still in the honor of the Jingyanghou Mansion, otherwise, with his little-known kid, how could he be able to work for several elders.

Li Yaonan didn't care about using the name of Lin's brother-in-law to pull the banner, and he wouldn't feel any embarrassment. Some people don't have to be idiots. They are great and will return the favor in the future. He is sincerely grateful for this marriage now. If Otherwise, why would he speak to the tribe.

Li Yaonan knew very well in his heart that at present, he actually had nothing.

Li Tai'an can adopt his son, but as a son, Li Yaonan has to deny his parents. If he proposes to adopt him himself, it would be unfilial. How could he pass such a handle into the hands of others.

The uncles didn't ask for the result, so they could only let Li Yaonan go ahead with a look of helplessness.

The second uncle was very depressed, why hadn't he noticed before that this kid was so calm.

The third elder pondered for a moment: "Could it be that we guessed wrong."

The second uncle snorted coldly: "No, I doubted whether I guessed wrong before, but the kid said his brother-in-law on the left and Lin's family on the right, saying that he was grateful to his elder brother for making him a close friend. This is to remind us, he It’s not without weight.”

Uncle Six wryly smiled: "But if he doesn't say anything, we have nothing to do."

The second uncle sighed, and regained his energy in an instant: "Don't be afraid, I'll ask the letter boy later, they young people have a lot of topics to talk about, since Li Yaonan has something to ask, he will not hide it, he must have scruples."

The third uncle nodded: "That's the only way."

Li Yaonan breathed a sigh of relief when he went out. As the saying goes, people are old and smart, and it's not easy to fool anyone.

"Yaonan, you finally came out. What did the uncles say?" Li Youxin was waiting at the door, and when he saw Li Yaonan, he came forward with a smile.

Li Yaonan chuckled and made a fool of himself: "The uncles are very kind."

Li Youxin didn't ask any more questions, but instead said, "Let's go and drink tea with Brother Wei."

"Brother Xin please!"

The two went straight to the flower hall, Li Yaonan waved his servants back, seeing that there was no one else around, he stopped being hypocritical: "Brother Youxin, speaking of which, I really have something to ask for your help."

Li Youxin looked at him with a faint smile: "The uncles are elders, why didn't you ask them, their words are more useful than mine."

"I don't know the situation in the clan, so what the younger brother is asking for should not be too public."

Li Youxin nodded. What Li Yaonan said made a lot of sense. No matter how united a clan is, there will always be enough intrigue among the clansmen. His concerns were correct, but he couldn't just agree to it. He asked with a smile: "What do you think?" look."

Li Yaonan smiled lightly, and did not say what he was asking for: "I heard that Mingwei Academy is good. Although my younger brother is not talented, but my brother-in-law is from the Marquis's Mansion, it must not be a problem to get a few famous cards."

Li Youxin moved with confidence. Mingwei Academy is the best academy in Dajin, and all the students taught are outstanding. Entering Mingwei Academy is equivalent to stepping into half of the officialdom. Li Youxin has to admit that facing this bait, He was moved.

"Let's talk about your affairs first." Li Youxin talked and laughed freely, his heart moved, and he would not get carried away for the sake of immediate interests. He would not mind helping if it was something within his ability, but if it was beyond the scope, let alone he would not agree , Although the academy's famous post is precious, it is not worth that much. He is confident that he can be promoted in high school next year, but in the future in the officialdom, he will have to take some detours. Mingwei Academy is not only the best place to study, but also to accumulate contacts the best place.

Li Yaonan tapped the tea with his fingers, but did not answer the conversation, but only wrote the word "adoption" on the table.

"You are..." Li Youxin was quite surprised. This matter is not big or small, but thinking of Li Yaonan's situation, he felt it was justifiable.

"En." Li Yaonan nodded, the firmness on his face was unquestionable.

Li Youxin pondered deeply: "Let me think about it."

Li Yaonan smiled: "Okay, this matter is out of my mouth and into your ears. Tomorrow, my younger brother will accompany my husband back to the door, and my brother-in-law will leave soon..."

Li Youxin glanced at him, and reprimanded with a smile: "You cunning, fine, I will accept this matter, but... are you sure about the Lin family?"

"That's natural." Li Yaonan answered decisively. In fact, he didn't know what to do. However, the elder brother of the Lin family seemed to be quite concerned about his younger brother. He thought it would be no problem to help him a little. As a family of meritorious service, the Hou Mansion is also related to the royal family by marriage, so it should be easy to get a few famous cards.

"Is anyone elected?" Li Youxin asked without beginning or end.

Li Yaonan knew what it meant, and said with a smile: "My husband and I just want to move out of Li Mansion, and we will support each other to live from now on."

Li You knew with confidence what it meant to support each other. To put it bluntly, he just didn't want elders. This matter was simple to say, the only difficulty was that the Li Mansion might not easily agree.

Li Yaonan just smiled and said nothing, if the Li Mansion can be settled easily, there is no need for him to ask for help.

Li Youxin glanced at him sideways, and felt more and more that this kid was cunning, what was called out of my mouth, into your ears, didn't he make it clear that he should bear the bad name, and he could only mention the title of adoption, the more Li Youxin thought about it , I feel more and more uneconomical.

Upon seeing this, Li Yaonan hurriedly said: "Brother Youxin, don't worry, Yaonan will definitely cooperate and the Li family will not be too difficult."

"What can you do?" Li Youxin obviously didn't believe it.

Li Yaonan didn't say anything anymore, if he wanted the Li family to agree to adopt him, unless he caused the Li family to lose something, and made the Li family not only feel distressed, but even more so, the old lady and Ma Yulian would not be willing to let them leave just because of Lin Yixuan's generous dowry.Only when the Li family's thoughts are cut off, as long as he is still a worthless thing, Ma Yulian has always looked at him as a dislike, it will be a matter of course to adopt him.
