Daqizong

The owner's wife is the eldest lady's mother!

This was the first impression that came to Li Wan's mind, and then it felt wrong: "It's really strange, this Mrs. Fangzhu, what can you do with me?"

Li Wan asked himself, he didn't know her well, and if it was said that the meeting was for business, there was no reason for her to come forward.

There is neither personal relationship nor official business, which is really puzzling.

……

"Li Daoyou, you are here, please come inside."

In front of the guild hall, Gong Shuyuan and Elder Mo waited, and they all appeared at the door to greet them.

Li Wan smiled and greeted a few times, but his eyes couldn't help showing a bit of strangeness.

"These people are too enthusiastic? Why have they become so strange?"

Since it was stated in advance that it was a dust-receiving banquet in the workshop, Li Wan took no one with him except Shi Haoguang who was familiar with the affairs of the workshop and the workshop.

As soon as he came here, he saw Gongshuyuan and others with strange smiles in their enthusiasm, and instinctively felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, so he had to bite the bullet and follow them into the richly decorated room. A grand hall.

In the lobby, Li Wan soon saw a beautiful woman surrounded by a group of servants, dressed in Chinese clothes, full of ladylike demeanor.

This beautiful woman is the owner's wife.

Li Wan arched his hands and saluted with some surprise: "Young Li Wan, I have seen Madam."

The owner's wife said softly, "You don't need to be too polite, Li Daoyou."

Madam's voice is very nice, with a waxy sweetness and a nasal voice that seems to make people dream about. The eldest lady's melodious voice, like a yellow warbler, is obviously coming from her.

Looking at her appearance, she was vaguely similar to the eldest lady, but possessed a mature charm that the eldest lady did not possess, making her appear more dignified and elegant.

Li Wan saw that his wife was like this, and she seemed to be kind, so she couldn't help feeling a little fond of her.

Gong Shuyuan smiled and said: "Li Daoyou, although Madam doesn't ask about the affairs of the workshop, she is also the elder of the workshop. If you have opinions on the development plan of the workshop, you may as well speak up."

Li Wan's expression was a little strange: "Why, this lady still has to take the school exam, will I pass?"

Although there were some doubts in his heart, the reasons put forward by Gong Shuyuan were quite high-sounding. It just so happened that Li Wanye did have some ideas about the development of Tiangongfang, so he started talking about it.

What he cares about the most is the relationship between a master alchemy teacher like himself and Tiangongfang. Ordinary alchemy monks, as long as they are not low-grade true alchemy cultivated by influence, dead soldiers, house slaves, etc., have considerable autonomy. Quan, in the big sect of the sect, even has the right to be in charge of a peak, and it is impossible to control a power like Tiangongfang.

Between the two, there is more cooperation and mutual benefit. For example, the joining strategy proposed by the eldest lady is an excellent way.

When Li Wan mentioned this matter, he couldn't help but praised the eldest lady, but he didn't notice that Mrs. Fangzhu listened, and suddenly there was a strange smile on her face, and her expression was a little more enthusiastic than at the beginning.

Shi Haoguang on the side seemed to notice it, looked at Gongshuyuan and the others, and then at Mrs. Fangzhu, but he still lowered his head and didn't dare to send a sound transmission to remind Li Wan.

After Li Wan had a good talk, Mrs. Fangzhu smiled and praised: "As the elders said, he is an outstanding talent. Li Daoyou, since you are of the same generation as my little girl Qingning, how about I call you a good nephew? You don't want to It’s too polite, it’s always Madam Madam, it’s called Shengfen, if you don’t mind, why not call me Auntie.”

Seeing Mrs. Fangzhu's overly cordial performance, Li Wan couldn't help frowning, but she concealed her doubts very well, and called enthusiastically, "Auntie."

Fangzhu's wife smiled and responded.

Everyone had a cordial talk during the banquet, not only about the official affairs inside and outside the workshop, but also anecdotes about their own experiences and stories, and because the wife of the owner of the workshop is a female elder, they chatted freely about trivial matters in the family.

This situation was obviously beyond Li Wan's expectations. Fortunately, he has been out to practice for many years, so it is not a problem to deal with it.

This first meeting finally came to an end after Mrs. Fangzhu warmly sent her off. Before leaving, Li Wan could still feel that there were a few fiery eyes watching her from behind.

"What's the matter?"

Shi Haoguang accompanied Li Wan, walking on the mountain path, and congratulated with a smile: "Friend Li Daoist, congratulations."

Li Wan was puzzled, "Where does joy come from?"

Shi Haoguang smiled narrowly and said, "I don't know if Li Daoyou has heard a saying that a mother-in-law looks at her son-in-law, and the more she looks at her, the more she is satisfied?"

Li Wan frowned and said, "Fellow Daoist Shi, what do you mean?"

Ever since he entered the guild hall, he has always felt that the atmosphere is weird. It's not that there is any danger, or there are other things that are not good for him, but that Gong Shuyuan, Elder Mo, and the owner's wife are all weird and weird. There is something to hide.

Hearing Shi Haoguang's words again, he couldn't help it anymore, and asked out the doubts in his heart.

Shi Haoguang said with a chuckle: "Li Daoyou, I am not as good as you in terms of refining weapons and cultivation talent, but in terms of worldly experience and knowledge, I, Old Jiang, are hotter. What you didn't see, I do understand."

Li Wanzheng was puzzled, and hurriedly asked: "What do you understand?"

Shi Haoguang smiled and said: "They have taken a fancy to you, they want to start a family and start a business for you, and find a beautiful and charming woman whom they want."

"What?" Li Wan was stunned for a moment, and smiled wryly, "Fellow Daoist Shi, don't be joking, this is too ridiculous."

"I'm not joking. This matter is probably true." After Shi Haoguang laughed, he said seriously, "And this beautiful lady is probably the eldest lady in our workshop!"

"Miss!" In Li Wan's mind, a glamorous and beautiful woman suddenly appeared.

In Li Wan's mind, the eldest lady is considered a good beauty, capable, smart, beautiful, and in charge of a workshop, with a big family and a great business. She can indeed be called a virtuous and good match.

But Li Wan is now focused on Lin Jingshu, and has no interest in other women. His relationship with the eldest lady is just an ordinary friend. It is too abrupt for him to mention this matter suddenly.

Li Wan frowned tightly, thinking: "What's going on?"

Seeing him like this, Shi Haoguang couldn't help laughing and sighed: "The authorities are delusional, it really is like this!"

He joined Li Wan because of the guest-of-honor relationship of coexistence and co-prosperity, and he stopped showing off when he saw this: "Actually, this matter is not unexpected at all. In my opinion, Elder Gongshu and the others have already been eyeing you."

Li Wan smiled bitterly: "Focus on me... the word "stare" is not a good word."

Shi Haoguang smiled narrowly and said: "Who told you that you are a young talent without a family and a career? You have the potential of a master, and you formed a alchemy early. The most rare thing is that your background is clean and simple. This is in the eyes of many aristocratic families, but everyone thinks The meat and potatoes I want."

Then Shi Haoguang explained to Li Wan why a man from a poor family like him has become a favorite.

Tiangongfang was created by the ancestors of the Xiao family, and the ancestors of the Xiao family were rumored to be the descendants of a powerful monk in Yuchan Palace, so they can be regarded as coming from a famous family.

However, there are also distinctions between famous families. The ancestors of this Xiao family were just the bastards. Far inferior to the direct family, in order to get ahead, the only way out is to find another job.

The ancestors of the Xiao family were not willing to be under others, and even less willing for their descendants to become the vassals of others, without a bright future, so they embarked on the road of leaving Yuchan Palace and starting their own business from scratch.

The Xiao family was also a big family at that time, in order to encourage the branches and leaves to spread and support this ancestor, Tiangongfang also started from this.

Later, Tiangongfang finally gained a firm foothold in the Wushan area, but it was also inevitably entangled with the master's family, and even involved other elders and vassals, and fell into a bottleneck.

"Today's world is not like the ancient times, where four barbaric wildernesses have emerged together. It can be said that the possibility of a hero's rise has been cut off from the sky. If there is no great opportunity, it can only stop here. There are family disputes. Coveting, these dangers are what the Xiao family must guard against.

You see, the eldest lady is now in charge of the family business, and almost half of the Xiao family's financial resources and pillars are tied to her. If a family is established, the background of the husband-in-law must be clean and simple. Seeing the in-laws get involved in the Xiao family's business, not to mention the help, they lead wolves into the house instead. "

Shi Haoguang said again: "Besides being innocent and simple, this husband's ability can't be too bad, at least he has to be a strong alchemist, or someone else who can hold the scene. How can it be so easy to find such characters? Even if they are found, they may not be of the right age and appearance.

Look at Li Daoyou again, you are full of conditions, and almost everything meets the needs of the Xiao family. If such a fast-paced son-in-law, if it is not a coincidence, where can you find it? "

Li Wan was surprised, but then realized that what Shi Haoguang said was not unreasonable.

Going around, looking left and right, it turns out that only you are the most suitable.

Now he finally understands why a beautiful woman like the eldest lady has already reached the age of marriage and has not yet settled down. This kind of person who is responsible for the great family business and has the honor and disgrace of thousands of people, the marriage is not something that he can do host.

Li Wan said solemnly: "Then according to your opinion, Elder Gongshu and the Fangzhu's wife are interested in me, and plan to recruit me as the husband-in-law of the young lady?"

Shi Haoguang also said solemnly: "If my guess is correct, Mrs. Fangzhu came to Tongshan this time to see you specially. You will understand in the next few days. But I am here, and I have something to remind you .”

Li Wandao: "Fellow Daoist Shi, it's okay to say."

Shi Haoguang said: "Whether you are interested in the eldest lady or not, don't treat it as a private matter for your children, but as a major public matter, otherwise, you will easily hurt others and yourself, and you will regret it!"

Li Wan heard it, thoughtful. (To be continued.)
