Huaxi Villa is very big.

very quiet.

Very unique.

It's also very elegant.

Zhongli Ruoshui's four cousins ​​walked in the front, Zhongli Ruoshui and Li Chenan walked in the middle, and behind them were Zhongli Dang and Zhou Huairen.

Zhou Huairen and the others are very familiar with this place, because when the third lady was in Kyoto, they were the nursing home of this Huaxi Villa.

So after walking through the front yard, the three of them said goodbye to Li Chenan. They passed through the front yard and went to a yard not far to the west of the main yard.

Li Chenan was a little curious, but didn't ask.

As he walked, he looked at this courtyard. Compared with the Peach Blossom Villa in Guangling City, the buildings here were more exquisite...

The combination of pavilions, pavilions, waterside pavilions and corridors is more compact than that of Peach Blossom Villa, and it also has the flavor of Xiaojiabiyu from the Jiangnan gardens of the past.

It is not known how wide the courtyard is spread out, but there are not many servants in this courtyard, because it is very clean along the way, but the flowers and plants seen along the way are neatly trimmed.

After walking for about a cup of tea, Li Chenan and his party passed through a unique arch, then walked around a screen wall with many auspicious carvings, and then they saw a huge courtyard.

"This is the main courtyard of Huaxi Villa. You, you will live in the west building. I have asked my servants to clean it up."

"Bath water..."

"Xue'er, Xue'er, is the bathing water ready?" Zhongli Rushui shouted towards a corner of the yard, and a voice came: "Miss, it's ready."

"You go take a shower first. The kitchen has prepared meals. Stay and have a good meal."

"good."

Li Chenan went to the bathhouse, and Zhongli Ruoyu and the others sat together with Zhongli Ruoshui in the pavilion next to the lotus pond in the yard.

"Ruoshui," Zhongli Ruoyu's expression became serious at this time, "last night, my brother went to Li Wenhou's Shangshu Mansion!"

Zhongli Ruoshui was startled, "Zhongli Fang?"

"Um."

Zhong Lifang is the eldest son of his second uncle. He is thirty years old and is currently the captain of the Yulin Guard in Ning State. He is responsible for the safety of the imperial city.

"Why did he go to Li Wenhou's house?"

Zhongli Ruoyu said to Zhongli Ruoshui, "Li Chenan is his nephew after all. Li Chenan entered Kyoto... I wonder what his attitude is about this."

"After all, from the information obtained, the relationship between the third room of the Li family and the second room of the eldest family does not seem to be harmonious. But in any case, they are the same bloodline of the Li family. If Li Chenan can reconcile with his second uncle...

This is a good thing for Li Chenan or the Li family in Guangling."

Zhongli Ruoshui pondered for a moment and nodded.

She understood Zhong Lifeng's intention. If Li Wenhou could take the initiative to recognize Li Chen'an as his nephew and have a household secretary standing behind Li Chen'an, his life in Kyoto would be easier.

Another meaning is that Dingguo Houfu also hopes to further deepen the friendship between Li Chenan and the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue——

The Dingguo Marquis Mansion is in charge of the army, and what they need most is money and food.

Money and grain were in the hands of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, who seemed to be in a neutral position in the court.

Of course he must obey Prime Minister Ji, but at the same time he has no obvious preference for Prime Minister Ji.

He neither offended the second prince's line nor the prince's line. He was free between the two forces, but managed to handle many things smoothly.

Grandpa once said that Li Wenhou really understood the book and had the same demeanor as his father, and the depth of his city was something that few people could match.

"Then...what's Li Wenhou's attitude?"

"Brother didn't mention a word about Li Chenan's coming to Beijing. He and Li Wenhou drank for an hour. The person sitting with him was Li Wenhou's eldest son Li Chenxi. My brother was more chatting with Li Chenxi. It wasn't until my brother left that Li Wenhou said

A word."

Zhongli Ruoshui asked slightly nervously: "What did he say?"

"He said... Guangling is a good place, and he shouldn't come to Yujing City!"

"..."

"Brother said he is already here."

"Li Wenhou sighed and said something ambiguous."

"What words?"

"He said it would be great if he had always been that fool."

Zhongli Ruoshui was stunned for a moment, and an angry look gradually appeared on his face: "How could anyone say such a thing about his nephew? Chen'an doesn't have to visit his Shangshu Mansion!"

"Don't worry, my brother doesn't understand what he means. When Li Chenxi sent his brother out of the house, he asked him, but Li Chenxi didn't understand either. However, Li Chenxi has no hostility towards Li Chenan, and even admires his cousin.

, I just have some criticisms about Li Chenan joining the Fish and Dragon Society."

Zhongli Ruoyu headed towards the west building, "Of course we all hope you two can be well, but... But the changes in Li Chenan are really too big. When my brother returned home, he told his father, and what his father meant was that he should

Let Li Chenan take the initiative to go to Shangshu Mansion."

"Why do you want to go? Aren't you making yourself uncomfortable?"

Zhongli Ruoyu shook his head, "Father said that the Li family, a family of seven Jinshi and three Jinshi, has a profound heritage, but it has always been very low-key. Don't forget the Li Chunfu of the Li family, who is also Li Chenan's grandfather. He is

The important ministers around the emperors of the two generations were promoted to the first rank of Taiwei in the first year of Zhaohua, but they suddenly resigned and retired in the sixth year of Zhaohua."

"He returned to Guangling City and died in the seventh year of Zhaohua."

"At that time, there were many rumors in the court that he had offended the emperor and offended the power of heaven, because when he died, the emperor did not show the slightest favor. However, in the thirteenth year of Zhaohua, the emperor sent someone who was the prefect of Puzhou at the time.

Li Wenhou was transferred to Kyoto and directly assumed the position of Minister of Household Affairs... This is very strange."

"In addition, Li Wenhou sat in the position of Minister of the Ministry of Finance for ten years. In these ten years, five of the six ministers were replaced, but Prime Minister Ji did not touch him... My father said that there should be the emperor's care behind this, but

I don’t know the reason.”

"If there must be an explanation, I guess the emperor owes his father Li Chunfu."

After a pause, Zhongli Ruoyu said again: "As for whether your Li Chenan wants to visit Li Wenhou, it would be best for you to ask grandpa for his opinion after a while."

"Father said that grandpa and Mr. Changsun had a secret friendship. When the emperor was still the prince, Li Chunfu was the prince's tutor, and Changsun Jinghong was the prince's tutor. The two of them taught the prince in the East Palace, one in literature and the other in martial arts. After the prince ascended the throne,

He appointed Li Chunfu as Taiwei and handed over the Imperial City Department to Changsun Jinghong. The two of them have a very close relationship."

"But Changsun Jinghong never mentioned the reason why Li Chunfu retired to old age to his grandfather or anyone."

"It's just that after that incident, Changsun Jinghong seemed to be alienated from the emperor. He stayed in the small courtyard of the Imperial City Division and rarely came out to walk around. He also rarely came to Dingguo Hou Mansion to have a drink with grandpa."

"If grandpa feels that it is necessary for you, Li Chenan, to meet Li Wenhou, ask Mr. Sun to say hello. Li Wenhou will definitely not refuse, and he may be able to renovate the third bedroom of the Li family and the other two bedrooms."

Only then did Zhongli Ruoshui realize that the Li family had these unknown stories. She pondered for a moment and nodded.

At this moment, Li Chenan put on a green suit and walked out.

With the dust and dust washed away, he looked even more handsome and in better spirits than before.

Zhongli Ruoyu said nothing more, and Zhongli Ruoshui stood up to greet him.

"Let's eat first. Let's take a good rest today. Once you're done, I'll take you around the Jade Capital City."

"Wait a minute, have you agreed to write a poem for me?"
