Two: Spider Tower

There is a archway at the entrance of Yongning Lane.

The pillar stone supports four pillars, and the birds carved auspicious beasts on the pillars, and the gilded birds on the boards; there is a glazed tiles covering the hip roof, and the eaves and brackets are large and straightened.

The upper forehead is engraved with three large regular characters "Ji Zi Di"; the lower forehead is engraved with small characters such as "Jiu Li in the 15th year of Fuli in the 14th year of Fuli in the 19th year of Fuli in the 19th year of Fuli in the 19th year of Li Kunshuang in the 19th year of Fuli in the 19th year of".

There are three tests for county, prefecture and prefecture in Fuli. By passing, you can obtain the three identities of "boy", "school" and "bachelor" recognized by the seventh heavenly palace. Those with these three identities are also called Qi Refining Masters.

This is the archway of Li Buzhuo's cousin Li Kunshuang.

"He became a Taoist scholar in two years, just two years." Li Buzhuo sighed with emotion.

Two years ago, Li Kunshuang was taken as a disciple by Gu Microchuang, one of the two major Xuanmen sects. Her family left Cangzhou and moved to Youzhou Xinfeng Mansion.

Now, Li Kunshuang has become a Taoist scholar with respect. If he takes the exam for the middle Taoist bachelor's degree, the archway will have to be covered with another layer.

"I really want to go? Most of them thought you came here by your relatives."

Sanjin was carrying the local wind-dried pheasant in Cangzhou, carrying the ritual of zhi, and hesitated to look behind the archway.

There is a large mansion at the entrance of Yongning Lane behind the archway. Two big red jade lions on the side of the house are taller than people, the door of the house is black painted and nailed, and the bronze beasts hold rings. Even the door guarding the door is bright and superior.

The two words "Li Mansion" on the red pine wood plaque on the door of the house are "Is Li's Mansion".

Li Buzhuo followed Sanjin's gaze and looked at the Li Mansion: "My household registration belongs to Cangzhou. If you want to take the Qi Refiner in Youzhou, you must have local relatives in Youzhou as a guarantee. It is actually not bad to say that you are trying to catch up with relatives." He laughed at himself, "But he didn't really point at them to help, just tell them, I'm here. You can stay here later, I'll go in."

Sanjin opened his mouth, wanted to speak but stopped, and finally sighed: "Madam He, just don't make things too difficult for you."

…………

In the backyard of Li’s mansion, smoke and dust were everywhere, and bricks, stones and wood were stacked everywhere.

There is a pavilion in the smoke and dust. On both sides of the pavilion, there are eight giant mechanics like spider legs that are suddenly supported.

Li Wuyu put his hands together in the big sleeves of the rolling gold-edged ink and green silk robe, looking at the "spider building" that was made by Yanshi Grandmasters for a huge amount of gold.

The Spider Building is also called "Spider Walk". There is a hidden charcoal dragon at the bottom of the building. The building is as warm as spring all year round. What is even more rare is that when the sixteen spider feet drive the building to run, you will not even sprinkle a drop of tea in the building.

The Xinfeng Mansion is prosperous and prosperous, with countless wealthy merchants and tycoons. There are only a hundred spider buildings in the mansion. We need to ask the sectarian-level craftsman-level institution masters who are capable of creating spider buildings to take action. The money is still second, and it has risen to the problem of face.

The second-ranked sect craftsman Yanshi, the second-ranked new Fengfu, stood by the Spider Tower at this time.

His face was hidden under the hideous black iron ghost face, with long hair spread out to his shoulders, wearing a black robe, and his exposed arms were prosthetics made of wooden bones, mechanical springs, and armor leaves. It is said that Gongshu's eight arms broke his arms and replaced them with mechanical prosthetics because he felt that the strength and agility of the flesh-and-blooded arms were far inferior to that of the mechanical prosthetics.

Li Wuyu, who was noble by his father and son, certainly knew that Gongshu Ba'an built a spider building for Li's mansion was not his face, but his son, Li Kunshuang.

Li Kunshuang is expected to enter the seventh Heavenly Palace by being accepted as a disciple by one of the two authentic sects of Xuanmen. Although he is now just a Taoist scholar, the Gongshusband does not mind exerting his hand in exchange for a favor from the future Heavenly Palace general.

"Kunshuang has liked the mechanical beast since he was a child. When he came back from the imperial school, he must have liked the spider building to break down." He Fengnan sat beside Li Wuyu, eating a plate of exploited Chinese torreya nuts lazily, watching the puppet mechanical beast create the spider building.

The eldest lady of the Li family was born in the Jinshi family in the previous dynasty. She is thirty-six years old this year. She has the ability to keep her face and is more beautiful than a young woman. The folk customs in Youzhou are open. She is wearing an overly loose and light yellow Taoist robe. Her collar is very low, revealing most of her white and greasy breasts.

At this time, the gate came to the backyard and handed over a prayer letter. After reading the prayer letter, Li Wuyu asked quietly: "What is the person coming?"

"He is a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old. He is dressed very old, but he looks quite honest. He looks a bit like you, the master... he is also wearing a little thin girl." Menzi replied.

"Is he really here?" Li Wuyu remained silent.

He Fengnan picked up the post and saw that the person who submitted the post was Li Buzhuo, and said lightly: "Oh, it's Li Shitou's sleepy semen. What are he doing?"

Li Buzhuo's small-character Shitou, and his family called him Li Shitou. He had a strange disease since he was a child. He could sleep for ten hours a day and close his eyes anytime and anywhere. He had to ask his mother to stare at him to prevent planting in a pit.

Li Wuyu pondered for a while before saying, "He said he wanted to take the boy exam and asked me to protect his household registration. But... our family has not had any letters in the past two years, so why did he suddenly come to visit him? Did he not have any resentment in the past?"

"Test for the boy exam?" He Fengnan shook his head and laughed, "This is new. I dare not take the remote place in Cangzhou. I don't want to join Youzhou, a place with many talents, to join in the fun? I just like our family is developed and come here to join us. I just said to her mother, how much resentment can he be? Well, the pharmacy shop on Lintai Street is missing a accounting room, and he can buy two silver croakers a month, so that he can get there."

After all, He Fengnan has always been a scholar-like mother, who has been a singer-song-headed mother, and he doesn't even look down on Li Buzhuo very much.

“Okay.”

Li Wuyu nodded. After a while, when the arrogant Yanshi master went to rest, Li Buzhuo was taken to the backyard by the door.

Li Buzhuo exchanged a few greetings with Li Wuyu, and finally, Li Wuyu asked Li Buzhuo how healthy his mother was. Li Buzhuo said he passed away two years ago.

Li Wuyu pondered for a while and moved away from the topic without hesitation: "Since I have just arrived in Youzhou, I will live in the mansion first. Tomorrow I will send someone to take you to Qianjintang on Lintai Street, first as an accounting room, and also go to Sanjintang. I will give you four silver crocks a month for you two. Do it for two years first. If you do it well, Qianjintang will be handed over to you."

Li Buzhuo said: "I have a way to make a living, so I won't stay in your house."

Li Wuyu frowned, and at this time He Fengnan said, "Husband, Lord Yu had an appointment with you yesterday, is it time soon?"

He Fengnan wanted to talk to Li Buzhuo alone, and Li Wuyu knew it very well.

As soon as Li Wuyu left, He Fengnan looked at Li Buzhuo up and down: He was wearing an old double-breasted black cloth dress and old cloth shoes. The gaits in the hem of the clothes were yellowed, and the books on his feet were also exposed to wind and sunlight, and the colors were mixed.

"I suffered a lot on the road."

"It's not bitter."

He Fengnan hesitated for a moment and finally asked: "What happened back then... How did Caiyi die?"

"After my aunt's family moved out, my mother suffered from a cold and couldn't get sick."

Li Buzhuo looked at He Fengnan.

Two years ago, Li Kunshuang was attracted by ancient micro-scopic alchemists, and Li Wuyu's family was about to move to Youzhou to hold a wedding banquet.

On the table, there was a singer singing song. Li Buzhuo's mother Qi Caiyi couldn't help but say that He Fengnan, who was born in a scholarly family, was scolded in person for "taking a humble career and insulting the style of the Li family."
