Although traveling by horse and carriage is not as convenient and fast as flying with a sword, as long as you keep moving forward, you will always reach your destination. In the evening of that day, Li Shiwen finally arrived in Danyang City with his convoy.
When he arrived at Baqiao, he was greeted by palace ceremonial officials. Following the Northern Chu etiquette, Li Shiwen dismounted, went through the formalities, and finally went directly into the palace to meet the emperor. He was also greeted by Li's mistress Yang Yanqi. In addition to Li Shiwen, Li Shiyin, Qin Ran, Yuchi Zhen and other people related to the Li family followed Yang Yanqi to the Li Mansion.
When they arrived at the gate of Li's house, before Qin Ran could react, Li Shiyin in his arms jumped off the horse first, reached out to pull him, and said with a smile: "Master, come down quickly."
He roughly knew what his stupid disciple was going to do. It was the same thing that happened last time in Wuyi City. She directly dragged him to see Li Zhan. He did not resist, but let her force him get off the horse and ran with her to Yang Yanqi's carriage.
The silly disciple climbed onto the carriage to pick up Yang Yanqi, his upper body inside the carriage, his lower body outside, his long legs raised and his butt in front of him. That butt was very plump, Qin Ran thought...what would happen if he patted it now.
Li Shiyin quickly took Yang Yanqi out of the carriage and introduced her happily: "Mom, this is my master!"
He introduced Qin Ran as if he were presenting a treasure.
Qin Ran felt flattered... Was he that precious?
He glanced at Yang Yanqi and immediately knew that Li Shiwen and Li Shiyin had inherited their looks from her.
Li Shiwen is very tall, but this guy actually has a handsome face with clear edges and corners. He is tall, handsome, strong, and has a good family background. He should be a perfect winner in life. Li Shiyin is the same. She is tall, has long legs, a curvy figure, and is beautiful. She has flesh where it should be and no flesh where it shouldn't be.
...I just don’t know where these two guys inherited their brains from. Li Zhan is obviously not stupid.
He and Yang Yanqi bowed and said, "Hello, aunt."
Yang Yanqi followed Li Shiyin's force and got off the carriage, looking Qin Ran up and down.
Unlike Qin Ran's concealed glance, she looked at her son-in-law like a mother-in-law, carefully examining him from head to toe, and seeing him clearly.
Qin Ran looked like a scholar. He did not have the arrogance of a god or a sage. Instead, he had a gentle and profound temperament, and looked like he had read a lot of books. Qin Ran's appearance made her very satisfied.
The Li family was a military family, but she didn't find another son-in-law, which was also because of the military family. Because the whole family was made up of rough people, why would they find another rough person? Would they fight at home all day?
They just need something more elegant.
Look at the names Li Zhan gave to Li Shiwen and Li Shiyin, Shiyin and Shiyin; also look at Li Shiwen’s wife Yuchi Zhen, a lady from a scholarly family.
Yang Yanqi was very satisfied with Qin Ran's elegant scholarly temperament.
...Speaking of which, it was this family tradition that made Li Shiyin fall in love with Qin Ran.
Yang Yanqi could also see that Qin Ran was actually nervous, which made her feel amused.
Her daughter was taught so well, the master was obviously not a simple cultivator, but how could this child in front of her be a god? He looked like a young boy who had just met his parents. She couldn't help but like Qin Ran a little more.
Being nervous meant that he valued Shiyin very much, so Yang Yanqi knew that Qin Ran really liked his daughter.
She smiled and said to Qin Ran, "You are Master Shiyin, and you are also a deity of Daojian Sect. I need to call you Immortal Master, and you need to call me by my full name."
Hearing this, Qin Ran was indeed nervous and thought that Yang Yanqi didn't like him. He frowned and looked at Yang Yanqi, but saw that she was smiling. He probably knew that it was not what he thought.
…Look at Li Shiyin’s lawless little devil daughter, and you can infer what kind of personality Yang Yanqi has. She seemed to be joking with Qin Ran.
Qin Ran couldn't tell at this time, and replied stiffly: "Given my relationship with Shiyin, I'd better call you aunt!"
"What is your relationship with Shiyin? Aren't you master and disciple?" Yang Yanqi asked.
Qin Ran was silent.
"Oh! Mother..." Li Shiyin glared at Yang Yanqi, but she would not allow her mother to bully her master.
Yang Yanqi looked at her silly daughter and couldn't help wanting to laugh. She shook her head and said, "It's up to you to call me whatever you want. The things between you cultivators are different from those in the mortal world. I don't understand.
"But don't stand here, go inside first."
As she spoke, she was about to lead everyone into the house.
At this time, Yuchi Zhen got off the carriage behind holding Zhuifeng and walked over here.
Li Shiyin saw it and laughed: "Wow, Zhuifeng you are so lazy! You are so old, but you still need others to hold you."
Zhuifeng was in Yuchizhen's arms, he opened his eyes lazily, his face smelled like tea, he glanced at Li Shiyin and said, "I'm only four years old, oh, I'm five years old, still a baby."
"Shame on you!" Li Shiyin shaved Zhuifeng's face.
Hearing the cat in Yuchi Zhen's arms talking and Li Shiyin calling him Zhuifeng, Yang Yanqi knew that this was the big white tiger of Danfeng that Li Shiyin had always told him about.
She looked at Zhuifeng carefully and found that the cat was also very handsome.
"Isn't Zhuifeng a tiger?" she asked in confusion, "How did he become a cat?"
"Mom, you don't know, he is a divine beast!" Yuchi Zhen and Yang Yanqi explained, "When Zhuifeng was in Wuyi City, he was very big, taller than a house. But he knew magic and became smaller."
"Is Zhuifeng so powerful?" Yang Yanqi exclaimed.
The lazy little cat couldn't help but smile smugly.
Yang Yanqi saw that he was really cute and wanted to hug him, so she reached out and said, "Come, let me hug you too."
Zhuifeng was not shy about strangers. Seeing that he was welcomed, he was so happy that he wanted to jump into Yang Yanqi's arms.
It was Yuchi Zhen who had good eyesight and he quickly handed it to Yang Yanqi.
Yang Yanqi's mind became more open, Zhuifeng slept more comfortably, and his cat eyes narrowed.
Yang Yanqi stroked him lovingly and said to Qin Ran with a smile, "When they were young, there was a big dog at home, also named Zhuifeng. Zhuifeng played with them as they grew up, but when Shiyin was ten years old, Zhuifeng died of old age..."
Qin Ran always felt that Zhui Feng was much more popular than himself, and he was a little jealous.
After listening to Yang Yanqi's words, he looked at Li Shiyin and understood that when she was asked to name Zhuifeng, she chose "Zhuifeng" without hesitation.
No wonder he thought it sounded like a dog's name rather than a cat's. It turns out it really is a dog's name.
"Hehe!" Li Shiyin giggled and ran over to hug his hand.
"Oh, so I am a dog..." Zhuifeng said softly with his eyes narrowed.
"Wrong!" Li Shiyin laughed, "You are worse than a dog!"
"Woof!" Zhuifeng barked at her fiercely.
The group entered Li's mansion talking and laughing. As for the carriages and formalities, the servants took care of them.
They had just returned from the battlefield. The Li family was a family of generals, and they had their own set of rituals to dispel the blood, evil spirits and other bad luck on the battlefield, which were of course similar to jumping over fire basins and sprinkling willow branch water.
After a brief review, there was their triumphant welcome ceremony.
In fact, Li Shiyin and Qin Ran were cultivators, and they didn't believe in these things, because it was hard to say whether blood, evil spirits, and other bad things were as powerful as them. But this was just a custom and etiquette, so they didn't say anything and just followed it.
Yang Yanqi arranged a sumptuous dinner in advance and exorcised the evil spirits. Then everyone sat in the lobby and had a serious dinner.
Although the Li family is a military family and does not have so many rules, it is the top family in Northern Chu after all. Even if there are fewer rules, but in occasions like this, if you take it seriously, there are still some things involved.
The family Qin Ran was born into in this life was just an ordinary family of Northern Chu people. Although the Qin family had been taken care of by him behind the scenes for many years and finally moved from the village to the town, it was still too far away from a wealthy family like the Li family.
So today's dinner gave him the feeling of Lin Daiyu visiting the Jia Mansion.
...In a trance, he became Lin Daiyu, dazzled by the Li family's fancy banquet.
Fortunately, his silly apprentice was always by his side, quietly teaching him so that he would not show his cowardice.
"Were you also born with jade in your mouth?" Qin Ran asked quietly in Li Shiyin's ear.
“No…” Li Shiyin smiled and whispered to Qin Ran, “Master, you are stupid. Of course I was born holding a sword!”
"That person's name is Baoyu, and your name is Baojian." Qin Ran whispered back, "Li Baojian?"
"What Li Baojian? That sounds terrible!" Li Shiyin wrinkled her nose. It was a pity that she didn't understand Qin Ran's joke, otherwise she could have replied to Qin Ran with "Qin Daiyu".
Seeing the two masters and apprentices whispering in front of her, Yang Yanqi smiled and asked, "Where is Xiao Qin from?"
Just now he called me Immortal, now he called me Xiao Qin. Do you know where Li Shiyin's silly character (little devil character, confused character) comes from?
"I am from Qingyuan." Qin Ran replied. Although he joked that he was Lin Daiyu who entered the Jia Mansion, he was not Lin Daiyu after all. Because he was not only smart, he was indeed powerful. Although he was shy for a while when he met his mother-in-law, he was still calm. "I wonder if my aunt knows."
"Qingyuan? Is it near the Hengduan Mountains?" Yang Yanqi said, "Shiwen was stationed nearby before."
"Yes, it's nearby."
"Over the years, there have been many disasters there..." Yang Yanqi asked with concern, "Is everything okay at home?"
Qin Ran nodded and replied, "I've always been concerned about the family, and it's all fine."
Hearing this, Li Shiyin realized that Qingyuan was occupied by Xuan Qin, and asked Qin Ran: "Master, are they all okay?"
"Before I arrived in Wuyi City, I went to Qingyuan first. I have arranged everything for them." Qin Ran replied, "You don't have to worry."
"Master, you should take me to see them." Li Shiyin said, "If we get... married..."
Her face turned red, her voice lowered, and she didn't continue speaking.
"In order not to cause them trouble, I haven't been back for many years..." Qin Ran shook his head, "Even if... they don't have to know."
Li Shiyin looked at Qin Ran and suddenly felt that the relationship between her master and her family seemed very indifferent.
"Have you decided to get married?!" Yang Yanqi heard Li Shiyin's words and suddenly asked.
Li Shiyin was shocked. Getting married? She blushed immediately and lowered her head without answering.
Qin Ran met Yang Yanqi's gaze and said with a smile: "We are cultivators... getting married or not is actually not that important, there is no need to rush."
As soon as he finished speaking, he felt the soft flesh on his waist being twisted and painful. He looked down and saw Li Shiyin with a red face and lowered head, her face turned to the other side, and her hand stretched out to twist his flesh.
This is really a woman's natural skill! He couldn't help but sigh.
"It's better to get married..." Yang Yanqi pretended not to see their little movements and asked, "How old are you, little Qin?"
“I’m thirty years old.” Qin Ran said.
"That's indeed not small..." Yang Yanqi said, "You can hold the wedding at our Li family. If you have no objection, I will ask for an auspicious day tomorrow."
So fast? Qin Ran was also surprised and said quickly: "There's no need to be so anxious."
The soft flesh around the waist was attacked again.
He gritted his teeth and continued, "Firstly, we are still young and have a lot of time to live with. Secondly, Shiyin hasn't formed her elixir yet, so it would be better for her to get married after she has formed her elixir."
"I can form a pill at any time!" Li Shiyin said with her mouth closed.
Qin Ran glared at her, and she could make a fart.
"What is marriage?" At this time, Zhuifeng, who was squatting next to Yang Yanqi and eating happily, asked.
Zhuifeng is a big eater, and Yang Yanqi likes him very much. She always gives him meat. She likes children with good appetites...otherwise, how could Li Shiwen be so big?
"You are so stupid. It is hard for me to explain it to you clearly!" Li Shiyin replied hurriedly with a red face.
Yang Yanqi filled Zhuifeng's bowl with vegetables and said with a smile, "Are you calling him dad? Dad means father, which means your father is going to find a mother for you."
Zhuifeng blinked his big eyes and asked in a pretentious manner, "Is Mom a mother?"
"Hmm?" Yang Yanqi didn't quite understand. She looked at Qin Ran. Qin Ran probably knew what was going to happen next and covered his face. Then she understood and replied to Zhuifeng, "Probably!"
"Shiyin is my mother!" Zhuifeng said with a smile, "When my father taught me to speak, he told me to call Shiyin mom."
“Swish, swish, swish…”
Many eyes in the room looked at Qin Ran.
Qin Ran's face immediately turned red like a monkey's bottom. His strong body gave him powerful toes, and he used his toes to dig out a small villa on the ground.
