An Zi was riding the carriage.
Sitting in the carriage were Zhongli Ruoshui and Li Chenan.
The place where the carriage went was Juxian Pavilion.
Night has fallen, and the lanterns of Yujing City have begun to light up.
It has been a while since Zhongli Ruoyu and Qi Zhishan left Huaxi Villa, because Qi Zhishan said that more people should know about Li Chenan's departure from the Fish and Dragon Society.
Therefore, he is going to invite some young people to gather in Juxian Pavilion.
Li Chenan didn't know who he wanted to invite, so of course he didn't refuse. After all, it would be good to get to know more people in Kyoto.
"Qi Zhishan always prides himself on being a scholar. In fact... his writing is far inferior to that of his younger brother Qi Zhixue, but I heard he is good at martial arts."
Zhongli Ruoshui opened the corner of the car curtain and looked outside, then smiled and said: "But this guy has always been very enthusiastic and has a straightforward temper, so he has a wide circle of friends in Kyoto. He is somewhat similar to his grandfather Qi Guogong, so he is also very fond of it. Favored by the Duke of Qi."
"I guess he will call his brother Qi Zhixue, and invite Cheng Zhe from Duke Cheng's mansion, as well as three other talented people in Kyoto."
Zhongli Ruoshui raised his eyes and looked at Li Chenan, "If he invites the Yan Zihu from Duke Yan's Mansion... I don't like this person very much. If his words are conflicting, you don't need to be on the same level as him."
Li Chenan was startled: "Is this person crazy?"
"That's crazy! Because he is Yan Jidao's youngest son and Yan Jidao's only son!"
It turns out that he is the only son of the great master, and he also holds the title of Duke of Yan State, so he does have the qualifications to be crazy.
Zhongli Ruoshui added at this time: "His mother is Princess Liyang, the biological sister of the current emperor."
"So among the five major palaces of the Ning Kingdom, the most low-key but the most powerful is the Duke of Yan!"
"I heard from grandma that Yan Zifu has reached sixteen, and the Duke of Yan has gone to the Marquis Mansion with the intention of marrying into the Marquis Mansion of Dingguo... It's Zhongli Ruoyan, she is the daughter of the sixth uncle, and she is also about the same age."
Li Chenan didn't care about this, because even in the civilized society of his previous life, most of the children of families with real foundations would choose to marry.
Although there are many disadvantages, such as the emotional foundation of the two, and their different values, etc.
But these are small things.
The biggest advantage of marriage is the combination of family interests!
In the face of huge interests, what does the so-called happiness of sons, grandchildren, or daughters and granddaughters mean?
The Duke of Yan has a strong background and status——
Yan Jidao is one of the two great masters of Ningguo!
His wife is the emperor's sister, and his sister is the emperor's concubine Li!
He is a transcendent existence in Ning State, and there must be many people in the Duke of Yan's government working in the court, even with extremely high positions.
And Dingguohou Mansion is a rising star. Although it is not as tall as the lintel of Guogong Mansion, Mrs. Fan is also one of the two great masters of Ningguo!
There are many talented people in the Dingguo Hou Mansion. According to Zhongli Ruoshui, the most talented people are military generals, and they also have the most powerful divine military force in Ningguo!
Therefore, this is also the reason why both the Duke of Cheng and the Duke of Qi want to marry the Duke of Ding.
The Duke's Mansion of the State of Yan is naturally no exception.
It's just that Mrs. Fan is a different kind. She seems to have no interest in marriage. Instead, she hopes that her children and grandchildren will pursue their own happiness.
"Grandma didn't agree?"
"Well, I didn't agree. I said that if they like each other, it will be a matter of course. If they don't like each other... the strong will is not sweet after all, so I just rejected Duke Yan's proposal."
"Have conflicts with each other?"
"It's impossible to say that Yan Jidao is a martial arts fanatic. He seems to have nothing but pursuit of martial arts. He is rarely in Kyoto. Grandma said that he travels around the world almost all year round."
"So Mr. Yan Zifu was pampered by his mother and grew up. He also learned extraordinary martial arts. I heard that this guy's martial arts talent is extremely high. Now he has few opponents, so he became the dominant force in Yujing City!"
Li Chenan smiled slightly. Su Muxin once said that there are four great talents in Kyoto, and there are also four great dandies in Kyoto. Of course, they call themselves the Four Young Masters in Kyoto.
Su Muxin didn't name these four people, but she thought Yan Zifu was one of them.
But with the character Qi Zhishan met for the first time today, how could he be together with a young man like Yan Zifu?
Regarding Qi Zhishan, Li Chenan's first experience was quite good.
The people are very welcoming.
Not powerful.
Not too small-minded.
After all, his brother lost to him, but he was not hostile to him because of it.
"I don't think Qi Zhishan will invite Yan Zifu, that would be the best... I plan to visit my second uncle tomorrow night."
Li Chen'an changed the topic and looked at Zhong Li Ruoshui, "It has been about ten days since I arrived in Kyoto. Brother Shang said that Mr. Changsun said hello to the second uncle, and he wanted to come and go to his Shangshu Mansion without being kicked out."
"Okay," Zhongli Ruoshui nodded, "I'll go with you."
"It's not good for you to go. After all, my family has not officially proposed marriage to your family."
Zhongli Ruoshui's face turned slightly red, "Then when are you going to propose marriage to my family?"
Li Chenan grabbed Zhongli Ruoshui's hand and said with a smile: "It's happened in Kyoto. Let's go back to Guangling City and I'll ask my father to go to Zhongli's house to propose marriage!"
Zhongli Ruoshui bowed his head shyly, his heart pounding.
She suddenly realized that she had really grown up, and suddenly realized that she was about to get married!
This made her heart full of contradictions. On the one hand, she felt extremely happy, because the husband she was going to marry was her own choice, and he was a man with whom he could share the rest of his life together.
On the other hand, she was a little scared. She was worried that after getting married, she would have a new family.
Home is a very strong word.
Although the home is supported by men's shoulders, women need to fill everything in the home.
For example, oil, salt, firewood and rice.
For example, how to make this home full of warmth, poetic and picturesque, etc.
Then she thought of her own body, which made the fire of joy in her heart dim slightly. The cold had not occurred for three years, but it had not really been eradicated.
Doctor Sun said there would be no serious problems... but I'm afraid there will still be minor problems.
No matter what, as long as it doesn't affect giving him a child!
Li Chenan didn't know that Zhongli Ruoshui had been thinking a lot.
He was still holding Zhong Li Ruoshui's hand, but looking at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window, his heart felt peaceful.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
A shout came from the front: "The Prime Minister is driving, everyone, please give way!"
This street is actually quite wide, enough for two carriages to go parallel, but the carriage coming from the opposite direction is walking in the middle of the street.
Of course An Zizai didn't give in.
He held the riding whip in his hand and said slowly: "Driving the Dingguo Marquis Mansion, let's give in or not. Let's fight before we talk!"
There was suddenly no sound from the other side.
The two sides are just deadlocked here.
There are more and more people watching. After all, this is a big deal——
On one side were six carriages and sword-wielding guards cheering in front and back. In the carriage was Prime Minister Ji, the most powerful person in the Ning Kingdom today!
There was only a solitary carriage on the other side, but this carriage had the word Zhongli written on it!
Over the years, it seems that there has never been any friction between Dingguohou's Mansion and the Prime Minister's Mansion. Some people say that Dingguohou's Mansion is not as strong as the Prime Minister's Mansion after all, so Dingguohou's Mansion is not willing to provoke the Prime Minister's Mansion.
Some people also say that there is Mrs. Fan, one of the two great masters of Ningguo, in the Dingguohou Mansion, and she also holds the most powerful Shenwu Army in Ningguo. Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is powerful, it may not be able to fight against the Dingguohou Mansion. Get benefits.
In short, these two forces are extremely powerful, but they seemed to have deliberately avoided each other in the past.
But today we met in this Ruyi Alley.
Neither seems happy with each other.
If a fight breaks out, that would be the best!
Ji Tai frowned slightly, "The carriage driven by An Zizai?"
A man who looked like a general bowed his hands and said, "Master, this is indeed the carriage driven by An Zizai."
"...General An! He actually went to Huaxi Villa and worked as a concierge... Give it up!"
"Master Xiang,"
"let!"
"I obey my orders!"
In front of everyone's sight, the six carriages of the Prime Minister's Mansion pulled over and made way for them!
An Zizi drove the carriage forward.
Li Chenan was still looking out the window.
He saw those six carriages!
Then I saw a vague old face in the carriage in the middle!
Jitai was also looking out the window, and he also saw the young and handsome face in the carriage that was passing slowly!
They have never met each other.
But the moment their eyes met, there seemed to be a canopy of sparks blooming in the night sky.
Li Chenan grinned.
Ji Tai stroked his long beard and grinned.
The carriage passed by.
Each other moves on.
Further and further away.
