42.My family.

After Li Siheng and Hou Jia walked out of Xuanda, they didn't stay too long.The old house of the Li family is a bit far from Xuanda University, if they want to arrive before sunset, they always need to hurry up.

Probably because the atmosphere was relaxed, after the car drove for a certain distance, Hou Li, who was still a little nervous just now, was a little drowsy.Li Siheng didn't say anything, he just turned up the temperature of the air conditioner in the car, and tried his best to drive the car as smoothly as possible.

There are different souls in this body, but it is his own body after all.Therefore, no one knows better than Li Siheng that this body is actually the most delicate, and if he takes a long time in the car, he will definitely get motion sickness.And this so-called "long time" limit, obviously, the distance to Li's house has far exceeded this range.

Maybe it was Li Siheng's carefulness that really helped, Hou Yan slowly closed his eyes, and fell asleep in a daze after a drive of more than three hours.When he opened his eyes again, it was already dark.At the end of August, the sky seems to be getting dark earlier, and the scene at six o'clock now is not like the afterglow of the setting sun in midsummer.

Li Siheng's car was parked in front of the door, and a young waiter opened the door for him.On this point, there seems to be a subtle difference between the Li family and the Hou family.

Although they are all rich families, the so-called wealthy families, the Li family is more noble and cold.Sometimes Li Siheng inevitably thought about the reasons for this situation.Most likely, it was because the members of the Li family were complicated and their relationships were intertwined, while the Hou family was passed down from one generation to the next. In the generation of Hou Jia and Hou Qi, another accident happened, and the two brothers got used to living together.

A big family, a big family, is nothing more than a family with greater greed.

Shaking his head and chuckling, Li Siheng could only laugh at himself for being too sentimental recently.Throwing the key to the waiter standing aside, Li Siheng opened the car door for Hou Jia.Gently pinching the face of the child who hadn't woken up, Li Siheng fished the boy who was mostly awake out of the car.

In front of the red-painted and gold-dusted gate of Li's old house, the old housekeeper who had stood for a long time to welcome them frowned calmly.Li Siheng, this is the young master of their family, who will support the heirs of the entire Li family in the future.In the impression of the old housekeeper, Li Siheng always advances and retreats appropriately.Although, several years of military career left Li Siheng with a lingering smell of blood and a little bit of ruffian.

It is also because this advance and retreat is appropriate, so there is always alienation.Although he was no stranger to the child who was pulled up by his young master, the situation in front of him still surprised him.

"Young master, do you need my help?" The old housekeeper quickly stepped forward and asked gently beside Li Siheng.Although Hou Jia woke up, he was suddenly pulled up by Li Siheng. Now that he had no strength in his body, he stuck to Li Siheng's body like a soft bone.

It's a bit rude.But Li Siheng didn't push him away, and the people present didn't criticize him, so Hou Yan just leaned in like this.

Li Siheng shook his head lightly, as a rejection of the old housekeeper's proposal.

The old house of the Li family is a typical courtyard structure, stable and upright, extending in all directions.Hou Yan was not tall enough, and Li Siheng was a special soldier, so with a little force on his arm, he was able to hold him steady and walk well.The road leading to the hall is straight and paved with stone slabs.The whole old house exudes a cold and hard atmosphere.

Bypassing the hall is Li Siheng's private study.The newly cut jade worms were locked in the safe in Li Siheng's study.But the old butler obviously didn't intend to let the two of them go directly to the study to look at the jade. When passing by the hall, the old butler approached Li Siheng and said softly, "Master, the old lady is waiting for you in the hall."

Li Siheng's footsteps stopped.

Hou Yan was already fully awake. Hearing what the old housekeeper said, he couldn't help standing up straight, and subconsciously adjusted his breathing.No matter how he didn't understand, he could probably know that the "grandfather" mentioned by the old housekeeper should refer to the current ruler of the Li family, Li Siheng's grandfather, Li Zhan.

But Hou Yan really knew about Li Zhan not because he was the leader of the Li family.It's because... In the world of jade carving, Li Zhan is definitely a master. Even his master could only listen to the training with humility when he saw Li Zhan.

Perhaps, only the patriarchs of their lineage are qualified to be compared with Li Zhan.

Such a legendary figure, in the growth process of every jade carver, even if he can't get his guidance, it is always good to meet him.

Therefore, Hou Yan couldn't help but began to adjust his breathing.

Seeing that Hou Yan was fully awake, the old housekeeper showed a kind smile on his face, and bowed slightly to Hou Yan, "Master Hou, long time no see, you have grown taller." The old housekeeper of the Li family and Hou Yan It's different from his family, he's used to having a straight face, and such a stiff smile is already rare.

To the old butler of the Li family, Hou Yan was more like a child he had watched grow up, and compared to Li Siheng, he was more spoiled.Therefore, it is easier to be pitied.

Hou Yan patted his head, stretched out his hand from the top of his head to Li Siheng's chin, and then looked at the old housekeeper with some grievances.The meaning couldn't be more obvious.Hou Yan's 1.7 meters is not too short, but in front of Li Siheng who is 1.8 meters, it seems a bit not enough.

He had never seen this old man, nor had he been to the Li family's old house.However, in his memory, there are indeed memories of living here for five full years.

This is evidence that that person existed.Hou Yan must and has the obligation to remember that person.

Li Siheng let out a "puchi" laugh, stretched out his hand and rubbed Hou Jia's head casually, and then led him to the main hall of Li's house.It's not that he didn't meet the old man with his waiting face, but this time, it's different from every time in the past.After all, today, Hou Yan's status in his heart is no longer just that of a child of a family friend.

Hou Yan walked on the road leading to the main hall of Li's house, and just belatedly began to get nervous.A layer of sticky sweat broke out in the palm of the hand held by Li Siheng, and Li Siheng's hand squeezed Hou's tightly, the warm and rough palm brought a strange sense of stability.

Hou Jia let out a breath, blowing the strands of hair that had slipped from his forehead.There was a slight pause in his footsteps, Hou Yan quickly adjusted his breathing, and then followed Li Siheng to continue walking to the front hall.

The old man of the Li family was sitting in the front hall. In the early autumn weather, he was wearing a white silk Tang suit with red cloud patterns strangely embroidered on it.Red is not very suitable for old people, but when worn on this old man, it does not feel awkward, but shows a kind of peace.

Mr. Li's grandson is already in his twenties. Naturally, he is no longer young.The lights in the main hall were lit early, and Hou Yan could easily see that the old man of the Li family had silver hair like snow without even a speck of color.

The old man seemed to be taking a nap on the Eight Immortals table leaning on the huanghuali. Li Siheng and Hou Jia also had clear footsteps, but when they arrived at the main hall, the old man who seemed to be a little dizzy just now sat up straight and raised his right hand The teacup took a shallow sip.

Unlike the respected old man Hou Yan imagined, Mr. Li didn't have the so-called "majestic style", but the magnanimity lingering around him made people unconsciously hold their breath.The old man smiled kindly at Hou Jia, put down the tea in his hand, and waved to Hou Jia.

"Come on, little Jiuer."

Hou Yan subconsciously glanced at Li Siheng, and saw that Li Siheng did not move extraneously, but just nodded calmly, and he just walked to Mr. Li's side.

Old Man Li took out a brocade box from the drawer of the Eight Immortals' Table, and carefully placed the box on the table. Old Man Li signaled Li Siheng to open it.

Hou Yan took a closer look, only to realize that the box actually had something hidden in it.This is no ordinary box at all, but an exquisite lockbox.Mr. Li is a master in the jade carving world. He has never seen such a rare treasure that he can value so much...

Hou Yan immediately thought of those billion-year-old jade worms.

Hundreds of millions of years, such a distant time, because there is no basis, it always makes people feel exaggerated.When Hou Yan was young, the title of the billion-year jade worm always felt that it was far-fetched by later generations, and it was fabricated out of thin air in order to increase the value of these jade worms.It wasn't until he grew up, came into contact with the wider world, read many books, and visited many museums that he finally admitted that such a long time really existed.

And the so-called [-] million-year-old jade worm is really a small life that was accidentally sealed in the magma hundreds of millions of years ago.Although this life is gone, it is eternal.

Under the signal of Mr. Li, Li Siheng pressed his fingers a few times, and with a soft sound, the delicate brocade box was opened.

Mr. Li took out the jade worm with his own hands, squinted his eyes under the light and studied it carefully for a while.He is a bit old, even if he wears thick flower glasses, he still can't see all the scenes in front of him clearly.But at this stage, years of training have made him no longer rely too much on his eyes to judge whether the material is good or bad.

Although the skin on his hands is no longer smooth, his fingertips are still sharp.Mr. Li closed his eyes and used his fingers to feel every inch of jade under his fingers.The slightly cool touch stimulated his senses, and after a while, he already had a detailed understanding of this piece of material, and even sketched a draft in his heart, conceived how to carve such a jade worm.

——After all, when encountering such a rare material, no matter how virtuous and respected a jade carver is, he can't help itching.

Opening his eyes, Mr. Li suddenly saw Hou Jia's dazed expression.Instead of scolding Hou Jia for his rudeness, Mr. Li felt a little relieved.

He also came step by step from an elementary school apprentice who knew nothing, and he was never unfamiliar with such obsessive eyes.He has also experienced the complexity that implies anticipation and apprehension, the fear of tarnishing the sanctity in his heart even if he takes a step closer, and the complicity of stopping and never being reconciled.

"Hey. Listen to Ah Heng, you found these little things, Xiao Jiu'er?" Mr. Li closed his eyes with a smile, and flicked his hand to Hou Jia. The ones lying in the palm of his hand were those few pieces. Hou Yan secretly glanced at Yu Chong for a long time.

Suddenly being called, Hou Yan suddenly pulled out his prying eyes, his face was dyed red, and he said "En."

It is true that he discovered the jade worm, but after all, it belongs to the Li family.Spying on raw materials was not done by an upright jade carver, and he was caught peeping, even if he was cheeky and nervous, he couldn't help but blush.

Mr. Li didn't care too much, handed the jade worm to him generously, and asked with a smile, "Why. Do you have an idea?"

There was a kind of expectation in his eyes, and he was definitely not facing the inquiries of ordinary juniors.Because, that is the little Jiu'er of the Hou family. From the very beginning, the meaning of that child to the Li family has never been that simple.

Mr. Li leaned back on the chair and sighed softly.Li Siheng stood behind him, silent.

Only these two people with the same surname Li knew that the silence of the grandfather and grandson this time was a well-known connivance and compromise from the very beginning.
