Dahan: A 100-year-old veteran, I will build the strongest family

Chapter 3 The Oiran Marries Off, First Meeting with Madam Bian
Three days passed in a flash.

During these three days, Li Hong got up early every day, first practiced Tai Chi health-preserving boxing, and then began to build up his strength and practice shooting.

In three days, Li Hong felt that his physical condition had completely recovered to its peak, and his declining realm had also recovered, returning to the realm of a second-rate peak general.

Moreover, as time went by, Li Hong felt that his strength and physical condition were getting better and better.

Li Hong naturally understood that this was the effect brought about by the golden entry's continued strength.

Such a magical effect made Li Hong more eager for the system rewards.

In three days, no suitable woman for a concubine was brought to him! !

"What's going on? How come it's been three days and you still have no clue? Where have the relationships you usually maintain gone?"

Li Hong was very angry and called some of the younger generations in the family over and scolded them on the spot.

"This... Grandpa, now that the news that Grandpa is going to open a house and take a concubine has spread, many people think that Grandpa is joking. Many people say that there are girls of marriageable age at home, but Grandpa is old. If something bad happens to him, then...they can't afford it."

Li Wen and Li Wu hesitated and were unable to utter a word, but Li Ding, the eldest grandson of the third generation, mustered up the courage to explain to Li Hong.

When Li Hong heard that it was not that there were no women of marriageable age outside, but that many people were afraid that he would be killed and did not dare to come for marriage, he immediately blew his beard and glared and said:

"Are you afraid that I'll do something bad? Didn't you see how powerful I am that day?"

"This... Grandpa, we saw it with our own eyes. We believe that Grandpa is very powerful, but they just don't know it."

Li Ding explained to Li Hong with a wry smile.

"It's so troublesome!" Li Hong was very dissatisfied with the result and a little angry.

However, Li Hong also understood that this matter might have really reached a deadlock.

He fought for decades and guarded Yanmen Pass. Although his achievements were not exaggerated, he had made some contributions. Many people respected him very much. Even on his birthday, Emperor Liu Hong sent him a gift, which shows how respectful he was.

Most people wouldn't dare to risk the world's condemnation and give him their daughter!

Li Hong frowned, and his children and grandchildren beside him didn't dare to say a word.

They were scared by Li Hong's teachings before.

"Great grandfather, I do have an idea, but it doesn't seem to be in line with grandpa's temperament."

Suddenly, a voice sounded.

Li Hong looked up and saw that it was his great-grandson in his twenties who was speaking. He looked young and somewhat pretentious.

This great-grandson is Li Wen’s eldest grandson and the oldest of four generations. His name is Li Li.

"If you have any ideas, tell me!" Li Hong said, waving his hand.

Li Li was not that afraid of Li Hong. He even peed on Li Hong when he was a child.

"Grandpa, there is no shortage of young and beautiful women in the noble and wealthy families outside, but they are not sure about your health and are afraid that they might do something bad with good intentions. So, if you want to take a concubine again, you need to break their stereotypes and let them know your determination."

"Tomorrow, the largest brothel in Luoyang City, Huxin Pavilion, will hold its annual ceremony for the selection of courtesans. Many dignitaries will be there. Why don't you go there and show off your ability to eat before you get old? That way, the worries of the major aristocratic families will be shattered."

Li Li said to Li Hong with a smile.

"Li Li, what nonsense are you talking about? You are just making a fuss. You want to be punished, right?"

As soon as Li Li finished speaking, Li Hong hadn't said anything yet, but Li Wen on the side said angrily.

Upon hearing this, Li Li curled his lips and didn't care about Li Wen's scolding.

However, when Li Hong heard what Li Li said, his eyes lit up and he became quite interested.

Huxin Pavilion is the largest and best brothel in Luoyang.

She was famous in Luoyang for cultivating high-quality courtesans with singing, dancing, and good moral character.

It is also a place of entertainment favored and pursued by many dignitaries.

Li Hong waved to Li Wen, stroked his gray beard and said with a smile:
"What Li'er said is right. After going to the Lake Center Pavilion, the noble families are worried that they will be defeated. It just so happens that I haven't been to the Lake Center Pavilion yet, so I'd like to go and take a look."

"This..." Li Wen didn't know what to say after hearing this. There were many dignitaries who went to Huxin Pavilion, but they were all in their thirties or forties, or young people in their teens or twenties. Li Hong was already a hundred years old, but he still went to Huxin Pavilion. This was definitely a record-breaking event, and it caused a new discussion in Luoyang City.

Li Hong didn't care and made up his mind to go and take a look at the Lake Center Pavilion.

It is rare for an oiran to get married once a year. Besides, with the golden entry of "old but strong", Li Hong feels that he is in better health than when he was in his twenties or thirties, so why should he pretend?

The next day.

Li Li had been waiting for Li Hong at the martial arts arena. After Li Hong finished washing up, Li Li hurried over to greet him.

"Grandpa, you are really amazing. That spear weighs more than 60 kilograms. Most people can't lift it, but you can wield it with great vigor."

Li Hong listened to Li Li's words, looked at Li Li with disdain, and said unhappily:

"You should practice martial arts well. If you slack off every day, you would have become a third-rate general long ago."

Li Hong was indeed not lying, Li Li did have some talent in martial arts.

【Name: Li Li】

【Age: 23/58 years old】

【Martial Arts: 56, one-star qualification.】

[Commander: 48, no star qualification. ]

[Politics: 57, no star qualification. ]

[Strategy: 59, no star qualification. ]

【Entry】：
[Small Business]: Some businessmen are smart and talented, and are better than ordinary people in doing business (green quality)

[Mediocre Appearance]: Apart from a little talent for martial arts, most of the mediocre qualifications cannot be forced. (White quality)

Li Li's attribute panel seems very ordinary, but in Li Hong's opinion, it is already good.

With the system, Li Hong looked through the attribute panels of all the younger generations in his family over the past three days. He also went out for a walk and squatted in front of the palace to look at the attribute panels of the civil and military officials who went to and from the court.

Li Hong discovered that many ordinary people had star-level qualifications, which was very good and beyond ordinary people.

Ninety percent of the people on the street have no star qualifications.

On the contrary, the ministers at the level of the Three Dukes and Nine Ministers who go to and from the imperial palace every day are really capable. Not only are they well-qualified, but Li Hong also enjoys seeing all those green, orange, and red entries. He wished they were all his.

However, Li Hong did discover some patterns. All the officials who attended court in the palace were well-qualified and capable.

And the qualifications of many powerful and aristocratic families are better than those of ordinary people.

According to the system, the combination of excellent genes will increase the probability of producing excellent varieties.

This is also the reason why Li Hong required to find a concubine of good quality. The woman with good genes has a greater chance of giving birth to excellent offspring. The probability of getting a Li surnamed civil official or general with outstanding achievements is even greater. The richer the reward, the more powerful the offspring will be.

Li Li listened to Li Hong's teachings, nodded, and said hurriedly:
"Grandpa, it's getting late, let's go quickly and grab a good seat!"

Upon hearing this, Li Hong shook his head and said, "This child is incorrigible."

However, Li Hong did not force it. Li Li's one-star talent, even if developed to the extreme, would only be a third-rate peak general.

After all, he could never reach his previous heights.

Then, Li Hong followed Li Li leisurely towards the Lake Center Pavilion.

The Lakeside Pavilion is a pavilion located in the center of the lake in Luoyang City. It has a beautiful environment and pleasant scenery, and is frequented by dignitaries.

"Hey, isn't this the old general of the Li family? It seems that the old general just celebrated his 100th birthday. Why is he here?"

"This old general of the Li family is in great health. He is already a hundred years old, but he still walks with great vigor and looks more agile than young people. But why is this old general Li not recuperating at home? Why is he here at Huxin Pavilion? Is he here to see the courtesan getting married?"

With the arrival of Li Hong, his gray hair and tough appearance immediately attracted the attention of the dignitaries passing by, who couldn't help but be surprised.
