Chapter 254 Fake Son 9
After Nan Xi returned to the Li family, the whole family was in a happy mood. Becoming a royal merchant was an honor for the family and it must be celebrated properly.
Li Hongxuan immediately asked his servants to spread the news everywhere, informing the villagers that the Li family had become royal merchants and that a grand celebration would be held.
The news spread quickly throughout the city like the wind blowing through a wheat field.
People were talking about it, and Li Hongxuan and Gu Qiyun were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling. The obedient members of the Li family no longer dared to make trouble. No matter how much money Li Hongxuan had, it was not something they could covet.
When the prefect learned that Nan Xi had become an imperial merchant, he naturally came to congratulate her.
He ordered his servants to prepare a generous gift and asked his colleague to deliver it to the Li family to express congratulations.
The arrival of the Tongzhi made the Li family's celebration even more grand.
As a high-ranking local official, Governor Wang naturally could not be absent when he learned that the Li family had become imperial merchants.
Wang Jincheng was so angry that his teeth were about to break. The Li family was so capable that they actually skipped him and went straight to Feng Anmin in the capital.
However, even though he was about to explode with anger, he still sent his men to deliver a big gift to show his congratulations and support to the Li family.
On the day of the celebration, the Li family's house was decorated with lights and filled with guests. Nan Xi dressed in her best attire and greeted every guest with a big smile on her face.
The celebration lasted a whole day. People laughed and congratulated the Li family. The event ended successfully.

After Wang Zhilan met Zhao Yu that day, she had a dream when she returned home. She dreamed that her father successfully returned to the capital and became the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.
The Wang family moved to the capital and bought a large garden there.
The eldest brother married the daughter of the Duke's Mansion, and she herself married Prince Zhao Yu.
The husband in the dream was none other than Mr. Zhao who had lost the jade pendant last time.
After Wang Zhilan woke up, she smiled sweetly. She would soon become a famous lady in Beijing, become a princess, and enjoy endless wealth and glory.
Wang Zhilan smiled foolishly for a while, then frowned. Her second sister’s family didn’t seem to be like this in her dream.
Wang Zhilan suddenly opened her eyes wide in horror.
The Li Nanxi in her dream was a woman!
"How can this be? This can't be true."
Wang Zhilan frowned. She had seen Li Nanxi with her own eyes. He was a real man. Although he was handsome, he was already married to her second sister. The love between them did not look fake.
Wang Zhilan thought of Zhao Yu, but was very reluctant to admit that the dream was fake. If it was fake, didn’t it mean that all this was just her imagination?
My father's promotion, the changes in my family, my brother's and my own marriage, all vanished into thin air.
"No, it must be true."
Wang Zhilan's eyes became determined. She wanted to confirm whether Li Nanxi was a woman.
Wang Zhilan made up her mind that the best way to solve this problem was to ask her mother to call Li Nanxi over.
Wang Zhilan came to Mrs. Wang's room.
"Mom, I have something to discuss with you." Wang Zhilan said straight to the point.
Mrs. Wang looked up at Wang Zhilan. Her daughter was the most willful. When did she become so serious?
She smiled and said, "Zhi'er, just tell me what's going on."
Wang Zhilan hesitated a little, "Mom, can you call my second sister and Li Nanxi back? I have something I want to confirm."
Mrs. Wang was a little unsure. Now the Wang family had already fallen out with the Li family, and that little bitch Wang Ruolan wouldn't listen to her at all.
"I'm afraid this won't work. You know, the second girl is not obedient right now. She doesn't even take my message seriously."
Wang Zhilan was a little anxious. She had to find out the truth as soon as possible, otherwise it would definitely have a bad impact on the Wang family.
Mrs. Wang saw her daughter was fidgeting and asked, "What's wrong with you? What's the matter?"
Wang Zhilan had no choice but to tell what happened in her dream.
Mrs. Wang thought for a moment and then believed her daughter's words.
Because the daughter didn't understand how her family was so rich and could buy a big garden, she knew in her heart that it was the Li family's money.
She and the master kept their plan a secret from their son and daughter. If it came to pass, just like in her daughter's dream, the Wang family would become prosperous.
Her heart warmed up for a moment. She thought her daughter had a prophetic dream. The Wang family would definitely be able to move to the capital in the future, and her son and daughter's marriages would be happy.
As for what her daughter said about Li Nanxi being a woman, Mrs. Wang didn't really believe it. However, her daughter's words reminded her, and she had a good idea to deal with the Li family.
Now, no matter whether Li Nanxi is a woman or not, she must be one.
"Zhi'er, go back first. Leave this matter to mother. We will definitely live better and better just like in your dream."
Wang Zhilan left happily, and her mother said if it was possible, then it must be possible.
Mrs. Wang immediately went to discuss the matter with Wang Jincheng, as this was a major event that concerned the fate of the Wang family.
After hearing this, Wang Jincheng was also very happy. A girl? He wanted to have a good meeting with her.
Nan Xi had no idea that her identity as a girl was about to be exposed, but she was not afraid and learned more about the Transfiguration Talisman.
Mrs. Wang's plan was carried out quietly in secret. She not only wanted to expose Li Nanxi's female identity, but also to create a character in public opinion that was completely different from Li Nanxi's usual image.
In order to achieve this goal, she began to spread rumors about Li Nanxi, saying that she was actually a stunningly beautiful woman, but she hid her true appearance on a daily basis.
In order to increase the credibility of the rumor, Mrs. Wang specially invited the best painter in the city to paint many beautiful portraits based on her description of Li Nanxi.
Li Nanxi in these portraits has delicate facial features, a charming expression, and elegant manners.
Each painting is extremely gorgeous, beautiful and mysterious.
Mrs. Wang cleverly scattered these portraits around the city; some were hung in teahouses and taverns, and some appeared on stalls in the market.
Soon, these portraits attracted people's attention.
"This beauty looks so familiar."
"I heard that this is Master Nanxi of the Li family."
"Is this true? How is this possible?"
People were full of curiosity about this beautiful woman who suddenly appeared, and they speculated about her identity and origin.
In teahouses, taverns, markets, wherever they were, people were talking enthusiastically about this mysterious beauty.
In a busy teahouse, several regular customers sat together, drinking tea and chatting.
"Have you heard? Recently, some portraits have been circulating in the city. The portraits are of a beautiful woman. It is said that she is Nan Xi, the young master of the Li family!"
"Really? Isn't Mr. Li a man? How could he become a beautiful woman?"
"There are many strange things in this world. Perhaps Master Li has some unspeakable secrets, so he has been hiding his true identity."
"Then tell me, why did Master Li hide his identity? Is it for the benefit of the family?"
"Maybe, but I really want to see this beauty in person. Do you think she will appear at this temple fair?"
"If she really appears at the temple fair, we will be in for a treat! We must go and take a look at this mysterious beauty!"
