With this thought in mind, Li Muyang felt that Lu Lin was more and more suspicious.
In addition to exchanging a few words with him when he first appeared, the rest of the time he was standing next to Li Shinian. Brown robe, blue jade crown. Sword-like eyebrows, starry eyes, and extraordinary facial features. His lips were thin, giving people a feeling that he was heartless and ungrateful.
This person was very talkative, knowledgeable, witty and witty, and from time to time made people laugh heartily.
Seeing that Li Muyang was no longer painting, and was only glancing at him from time to time, Lu Lin gave a cupped fist salute to Li Muyang, saying apologetically: "I'm really sorry, did I disturb Brother Muyang's painting?"
Li Muyang nodded. "Indeed, I like peace and quiet when I paint."
"I see." Lu Lin said with a guilty look on his face. "Then I won't disturb Brother Muyang's painting."
He turned to look at Li Shinian, saying: "Miss Shinian, I see that the plum blossoms of the plum garden are in full bloom, how about we learn from the predecessors and look for the plum blossoms in the snow?"
Li Shinian shot a glance at Li Muyang, refusing: "I want to see my brother paint."
"No problem." Lu Lin said. "When we come back from admiring the plum blossoms, Brother Muyang's' Admiring Plum Blossoms' should be completed. At that time we can admire the finished product together, wouldn't it be better? "
Li Shinian pursed his lips. "I don't know how many times I have seen the plum blossoms of the plum garden these days, but I have only seen my brother paint a few times — — Besides, how could the plum blossoms of the plum garden be as beautiful as my brother's painting?"
"Haha — —" Li Muyang couldn't help bursting into laughter, "Shinian, don't say that. Brother is just a common thing, how can he be compared to the plum blossoms of the four gentlemen? However, since you want to see me paint, then I'll paint for you. "
"Thank you brother." Li Shinian smiled sweetly.
Anger flashed across Lu Lin's eyes. She cupped her hands at Li Muyang and said, "My apologies."
He then gave a standard aristocratic bow to Li Shinian, and said with a smile: "Since Miss Shinian likes to watch brother paint, then I will accompany you. Miss Shinian is right, plum blossoms bloom every year, Brother Muyang's painting is a rare sight, we should appreciate it. "
One does not slap a smiling face.
If they didn't want to leave, Li Muyang couldn't force them to leave.
After all, his surname was Lu, while he and his sister's surname was Li. They were outsiders after all.
Li Muyang calmed himself down and began to color the painting.
This process was even more rapid. With just a few strokes, the beautiful and elegant snow scene in the garden was vividly depicted.
Li Muyang didn't have a seal, so he directly signed his name on the painting.
When the ink was dry, he rolled up the painting and handed it to Li Shinian who had been waiting for a long time. "For you."
"Thank you brother." Li Shinian held the 'West garden snow painting', a smile blossoming on his face like a flower.
Lu Lin was dazed for a moment when he saw Li Shinian's smile, but when he saw that Li Shinian's eyes were all on his brother Li Muyang, and turned a deaf ear to him, he was secretly angry, thinking to himself: there will be a time when you and your sister will need to beg me.
Lu Lin said with a look of admiration, "Brother Muyang really is a master of painting, this painting is already in the top three grades."
Li Muyang's painting was indeed good, but it was impossible to say that it was in the top three grades. It was purely a compliment from Lu Lin.
He didn't expect that there was someone who didn't know what modesty was. Li Shinian, holding the painting scroll, raised his head and said proudly, "In my eyes, it's the first grade."
Li Muyang giggled, wanting to stroke Li Shinian's head, but then remembered that she was now an adult, and this kind of intimate behavior was really not appropriate.
Li Shinian saw Li Muyang raise and then put down his hand, his face darkening slightly.

The sixtieth birthday was also known as the 'sixtieth birthday'.
According to the tradition of the people of the divine continent, the birthday of the elderly this year was extremely important.
Lu Xingkong's only son Lu Qingming had already rushed back from the Yun border, and was waiting at home to celebrate his father's birthday. The other branches of the Lu Family had also rushed back, and the old subordinates far away at the frontier had already sent people to deliver congratulatory gifts a month ago.
The strange thing was that the direct descendant of the Lu Family, Lu Wuyong, the Lord of Wind City, did not come to Tiandu to celebrate the birthday, and only his eldest son Lu Lin came with his clan to celebrate the birthday.
This behavior made many insiders speculate: could it be that Wind City felt that the Lu Family was in danger, so they wanted to draw a line with Lu Qingming? If the Lu Family was really in trouble, could this really protect the branch of Wind City from being implicated?
Rumors and slanders were incessant. Everyone looked at the Lu Family with more sympathy and … mockery.
Even the Lu Family's ancestral home does not support you, you most likely have nowhere to retreat?
However, these things had little to do with Li Muyang.
He was just a 'passerby', a 'member of the Li family' living in the Lu Family. The core affairs of the Lu Family had nothing to do with him, and no one came to discuss with him or needed his advice.
On the contrary, Li Muyang's father, Li Yan, was much busier these days. He came and went in a hurry, and sometimes he was on night duty in the plum garden. From these middle-level managers, Li Muyang knew that the storm had arrived.
Li Muyang still maintained his previous good work and rest habits. After getting up early and walking a few laps of the 'Art of the Breaking Body', he began to practice calligraphy in front of the window. He did not read any dragon-related books such as' The Art of Walking and Summoning Rain 'and' Dragon language ', nor did he recite any incantations. There were many strong people in Tiandu, who knows if he would be discovered?
Besides, there was a peerless expert living in the same courtyard.
Li Muyang was willing to trust the Lu Family, but if they found out that he was a dragon, it was unknown whether they would still be willing to trust him.
The human heart was unpredictable, Li Muyang dared not make the slightest mistake.
Bang!
The room door was once again slammed open by someone.
Li Shinian, wearing a small red coat with a delicate and lovely appearance, rushed in and said to Li Muyang: "Quick, wash up and change your clothes. In a moment, you have to kowtow to Grandpa Lu."
Li Muyang knew that today was Grandpa Lu Xingkong's birthday.
Lu Qingming also said that today, he would show his true face.
Therefore, according to the relationship between the Lu Family and the Li Family, Li Muyang indeed had to kowtow to Lu Xingkong as a younger generation.
Li Muyang put down his brush and said to Li Shinian: "Wait, wait for me to wash up and change my clothes."
"Wear something beautiful." Li Shinian said in a low voice: "Mother has rushed to make several sets of winter clothes for you these days."
Li Muyang smiled and nodded: "Then wear the clothes mother made."
Because Li Muyang saved Lu Qingming's life, Aunt Gongsun gave him several sets of gorgeous clothes. These days, Li Muyang wore the clothes given by Aunt Gongsun when he went out. Luo Chi was a little jealous. These days, she didn't go out of the house and was busy making several sets of winter clothes for Li Muyang.
"Smart." Li Shinian praised Li Muyang and said: "Quickly take a bath, I will comb your hair later."
"I can comb it myself." Li Muyang said.
"That won't do. You are now Young Master Li, Eldest Young Master Li. How can I let you do it yourself? "Li Shinian said with a sneer.
Li Muyang laughed foolishly. He knew that his sister was dissatisfied with him always having four or five beautiful maids around him.
After Li Muyang took a bath, Li Shinian was already waiting in the room.
Li Muyang had no choice but to sit in front of the bronze mirror and let Li Shinian comb his hair.
The comb was very smooth, but Li Shinian had never done something like tying a man's hair before. It was very unfamiliar and not as skilled as Jing 'er and the others.
However, it was still his sister's intention. Li Muyang sat there with a smile, waiting for the little girl to busy on top of his head.
"Don't laugh." Li Shinian couldn't tie up the hair and was so anxious that his nose was sweating. Seeing the smirk on Li Muyang's mouth, he couldn't help but scold.
"Hahaha …" Li Muyang laughed even more happily.
After putting on the jade crown with great difficulty, Li Shinian brought over a dark silver cotton robe. The cotton robe was filled with goose feathers, it was light and warm.
Li Shinian helped Li Shinian fasten the belt and then stood a little further away to look at him. His eyes were bright and he couldn't help but praise in his heart: Big brother is really handsome. I didn't think that the black charcoal head could grow into such a handsome young man …
When Luo Chi saw Li Muyang put on the winter clothes she made, her face also showed a happy smile. A few days ago, her son had been wearing the clothes given by Miss Gongsun Yu, which made her heart feel like it was being squeezed, as if her own son could be snatched away at any time …
Luo Chi had already prepared the noodle soup. After Li Muyang and Li Shinian each ate a bowl, they were led by Luo Chi towards the main hall of the Lu Residence.
Today was the birthday, and Lu Xingkong had also moved out from the plum garden. Together with his family, he welcomed the guests in the main hall of the Lu Family.
When the three of them came to the front courtyard, there were already several long lines lined up in the courtyard.
The nephews headed by Lu Qingming and Gongsun Yu were in one line, and the grandchildren headed by Lu Tianyu were in another line. The tall and strong people were all Lu Xingkong's subordinates who had been in the army for many years. The other stewards and maids stood at the back of the three lines, not in a row, and did not enter the house to congratulate the birthday.
Lu Tianyu was at the forefront of the grandchildren's line, followed by the younger generation of the Lu Family's direct and side branches. Lu Lin, who had met him last night, was also inside. When she saw Li Muyang and Li Shinian pass by, she smiled at them.
Li Muyang and Li Shinian knew their identity and tactfully walked to the back of the line. Luo Chi walked to the side of Gongsun Yu. Today Gongsun Yu was extremely busy, and there were some things that she could also help out with.
Pa pa pa — —
Surrounded by a group of brothers and elders, Lu Xingkong, dressed in a brocade robe, walked towards the main hall.
Just as he sat down in the main hall, Lu Qingming and Gongsun Yu walked forward hand in hand, knelt on the ground, and placed their foreheads on the ground.
"I wish father happiness as vast as the East Sea, and longevity as long as the South Mountain."
"Get up." Lu Xingkong raised his hands.
Lu Qingming and Gongsun Yu got up at the same time, and then Gongsun Yu took a tray from a maid next to her and respectfully presented it with both hands, saying, "In order to congratulate father's 60th birthday, I specially asked people to hunt two fire foxes from North Cliff, and used them to sew a winter coat for father — — I hope father does not mind the ugly needlework, and accept Xiao Yu's gift."
Lu Xingkong reached out to take the tray, and reached out to stroke the stitches of the winter coat, his mood surging with emotions.
How many years had it been? How many years had it been since he had received clothes personally sewn by his daughter-in-law? How many years had it been since Gongsun Yu had said auspicious words to her father-in-law?
Since that incident, their relationship had fallen to the freezing point, and for so many years, Gongsun Yu hated him, her father-in-law, and also hated the Lu Family — —
He looked up at Gongsun Yu, and said in a deep voice, "Good child, good child — — for so many years, I have wronged you."
"Father — —" Gongsun Yu's eyes were red. She turned around to look for Li Muyang's figure, but saw a sea of people, and did not know where Li Muyang had gone.
Li Muyang came back, came back safe and sound, and it was her father-in-law's 60th birthday, so Gongsun Yu was willing to let go of the knot in her heart, and gave him such a warm gift.
"Good child." Lu Xingkong sighed deeply, and said, "My Lu Family has let you down."
"Father, it's a happy day, why say this?" Lu Qingming persuaded from the side.
"Yes. A happy day. "Lu Xingkong laughed, looked at his son and daughter-in-law and said," You two are very thoughtful. "
The two stepped back and stood behind Lu Xingkong. Then the other direct descendants of the Lu Family came up to pay their respects.
When the uncles had finished their congratulatory gifts, it was the group of generals who could be called uncles.
Each and every one of these people were like wolves and tigers, and their words were like thunder. They came forward one by one and kowtowed to Lu Xingkong to celebrate his birthday. The gifts that were sent up were also varied, there were wine, meat, and even swords and knives.
Lu Xingkong had a deep relationship with them, and each and every one of them encouraged them and accepted their gifts one by one.
When the generals had finished kowtowing to celebrate his birthday, Lu Tianyu was the first to rush in, 'plopped' to the ground, and after knocking his head three times in a row, he raised his head, his forehead slightly red, and said in a clear voice, "Grandson Lu Tianyu kowtows to Grandpa, I wish Grandpa's virtue and longevity."
Lu Tianyu got up, took a delicate jade box from the servant next to him, and handed it over with both hands, saying, "Grandpa, this is grandson's birthday gift for you."
"Thank you, my good grandson." Lu Xingkong took the box from Lu Tianyu with a smile and was about to put it aside.
"Grandpa, open it and see if you like my gift." Lu Tianyu said with a smile.
Lu Xingkong looked at Lu Tianyu and said, "What? Do you want to present a treasure in public today? "
"That's grandson's kind intentions." Lu Tianyu said with a smile.
So, Lu Xingkong opened the jade box, inside was a dazzling pearl.
"This is?" Lu Xingkong asked aloud.
"Grandpa, this is the Turtle Spirit Pearl, also known as the Longevity Pearl. It was taken from the body of a thousand-year-old Black Tortoise, and its medicinal effect is extremely strong. Bathing in it every day can strengthen the body and expel evil spirits. " Lu Tianyu said with a proud face. Obviously, it was not easy for him to get this Turtle Spirit Pearl as a congratulatory gift.
Hearing Lu Tianyu use the Turtle Spirit Pearl as a congratulatory gift, everyone praised.
"Young Master Tianyu really has a filial heart — —"
"The Turtle Spirit Pearl is the most precious treasure in the world, I heard that not every Black Tortoise can have such a Spirit Pearl, but only the Black Tortoise that ate the Blood Rainbow Clam would have such a Turtle Spirit Pearl — —"
"Young Master Tianyu's gift is really extraordinary, rare and precious — —"
※ ※ ※
Lu Xingkong accepted the jade box and said with a smile: "I like this gift very much, I will definitely carry it with me every day."
Lu Tianyu was overjoyed. "As long as Grandpa likes it. Tianyu wishes Grandpa a long life again, and to enter the Dragon Slayer realm as soon as possible. "
Lu Xingkong laughed heartily. Obviously, he also liked this congratulatory message very much.
After Lu Tianyu left, the other grandchildren went forward to kowtow and congratulate him on his birthday, and one after another presented their own prepared gifts.
When it was Li Shinian's turn, Li Shinian walked over to Lu Xingkong, respectfully kowtowed three times, and then pulled out a scroll, presenting it with both hands. "Grandpa, Shinian has nothing valuable, I want to give you a gift as a birthday gift, but I don't know what to give you. I was worried sick."
The corners of Li Shinian's mouth curved up slightly, saying with a smile: "Then I thought, I have nothing valuable, but there is someone around me who has something valuable. So I begged in every way, and finally let my brother draw a painting for me. Now I give the 'Snow Viewing in the West Garden' that my brother gave me as a gift to Grandpa Lu, I hope Grandpa Lu will like it. "
Lu Xingkong seemed to like the lively and lively Li Shinian very much. He reached out to stroke Li Shinian's head, and then reached out to receive the 'Snow Viewing in the West Garden' that she offered with both hands. He opened the scroll and carefully admired it, and praised: "Good painting. The composition is rigorous and the colour is bold. Between movement and stillness, it vividly and vividly displays the snowy scenery of the West Garden. A young talent that can attract the attention of the double wall of painting and calligraphy Gu Huangwu, is indeed worthy of the name. "
Lu Xingkong handed the scroll to the old people around him to admire. "I like this' Snow Viewing in the West Garden 'very much. Although it is my backyard, but in Muyang's hands there is another artistic conception, as if I have never seen it before. This painting will be hung in my study, when I am tired I can look at it, it can also relieve my fatigue. "
"Thank you Grandpa." Li Shinian said happily. Li Muyang's painting was liked by Grandfather Lu, and she was even happier that others liked her.
"Silly child, you gave me a gift, why thank me? I should be the one thanking you. "Lu Xingkong said with a smile.
He stretched out his hand to pull Li Shinian up from the ground. "Good child, really a good child."
After Li Shinian stepped back, it was Li Muyang's turn to come forward and kowtow.
Li Muyang was grateful to the Lu Family for taking care of his parents and sister, and also sincerely liked Grandfather Lu. He knelt on the ground and kowtowed devoutly, then raised his head and said in a loud and clear voice: "I wish Grandpa the sun and moon shine together, and never grow old."
"Hahaha, Muyang, this congratulatory speech is a bit sloppy. The divine continent is vast, how many people can shine together with the sun and moon, never grow old? "
Li Muyang said with a smiling face, "Then I wish Grandpa to always smile, and all your wishes come true."
"Well, that's more down to earth. I like it. "Lu Xingkong burst into a hearty laughter. Looking at his grandson in front of him, he felt extremely pleased and satisfied.
Li Muyang presented a wooden box with both hands. "Grandpa, this is my congratulatory gift, please accept it."
Lu Xingkong received the wooden box, but there was a heavy feeling in his palm that held the sun and moon.
This was a gift from his grandson, this was a gift from his eldest grandson for more than ten years — —
All sorts of feelings came together.
"Grandpa, everyone knows that Muyang is good at painting, is there a painting in this box?" Someone shouted from behind.
Lu Tianyu also looked curious, "Grandpa, open it and see what it is?"
"If it's a painting, then it would be the same as Miss Shinian — —"
"It's a spear technique." Li Muyang said aloud.
"— —"
There was a deathly silence, and then everyone burst into laughter.
Someone was going to give Grandfather Lu Xingkong a spear technique as a gift?
