Chapter 665 - 379: Paying Respects
"Moyan!" Li Shiming looked at the man who kept kowtowing to him with a head full of grey hair and still recognized that this was his manservant Moyan.
Twenty years had passed, and Moyan, who was about the same age as him, had already begun to show signs of age.
"It is me, young master, the young master still remembers me!" Moyan said with a smile, tears streaming down his face, thought of something, moved aside to open the gate, and said, "Young master, please come in quickly. The old master’s health has been very poor recently; he’s been talking about the young master!"
Li Shiming smiled and walked through the gate.
Moyan’s loud voice had startled several people inside.
Li Shiming saw a middle-aged woman and the young man beside her, just like Moyan’s former self. He couldn’t help but look towards Moyan.
"Young master, Moyan is now a steward. This is my wife, and this is my boy, both working at home!" Moyan bowed and introduced, then turned his head to scold the middle-aged woman and the young man, "Have you not come to pay respects to the young master!"
"Have seen the young master!" The middle-aged woman and her son knelt down and kowtowed to Li Shiming.
"Get up!" Li Shiming, nearly having forgotten the worldly etiquette and unaccustomed to such formality, waved them off.
He looked at Moyan’s family, realizing the true decline of his household. He sensed that there were only six people in the mansion, with Moyan’s family accounting for three, a small number for a residence of three courtyards.
Moyan led Li Shiming towards the second gate. Since there were no female family members at home, the rules were not so strict. He led Li Shiming past the second gate.
Li Shiming saw a figure holding a basin of water, a thirty-something woman with a maiden’s hairstyle.
