Chapter 183 The passing glance(1/2)
An Zizai was carrying a carriage.
The people sitting in the carriage were Zhongli Ruoshui and Li Chen'an.
The place where the carriage goes is Juxian Pavilion.
Night has fallen, and the lights in Yujing City have just begun to rise.
Zhongli Ruoyu and Qi Zhishan left Huaxi Villa for a while, because Qi Zhishan said that Li Chenan had left the big event of Yulonghui, and more people should know.
So, he wanted to invite some young men to Juxian Pavilion to gather together.
Li Chenan didn't know who he was going to invite, so he certainly didn't refuse. After all, it would be good to know more people in Kyoto.
"Qi Zhishan always claims to be a literati. In fact... his literary style is far inferior to his younger brother Qi Zhixue. But he heard that it is okay to practice martial arts."
Zhongli Ruoshui lifted a corner of the curtain outside and smiled, "But this guy has always been very enthusiastic and has a straightforward temperament, so he has a wide range of social relationships in Kyoto. He looks a bit like his grandfather, Duke Qi, so he is also deeply loved by Duke Qi."
"I guess he would call his younger brother Qi Zhixue and invite Cheng Zhe from Duke Cheng's Mansion and three other talents in Kyoto."
Zhongli Ruoshui raised his eyes to Li Chenan, "If he had invited the Yanzifu from Duke Yan's Mansion... I don't like this person very much. If his words were a little striking, you don't need to be as knowledgeable as him."
Li Chenan was stunned: "This person is crazy?"
"It's crazy! Because he is Yan Jidao's youngest son and Yan Jidao's only son!"
It turned out that he was the only son of the Grand Master, and he was also given the title of Duke Yan's Mansion, so he was indeed qualified to be crazy.
Zhongli Ruoshui added: "His mother is Princess Liyang, the current emperor's real sister."
"So the five major Dukes of Ningguo are the most low-key but the most powerful is the Dukes of Yan!"
"I heard from my grandmother that Yan Zi's husband is already sixteen. Duke Yan has been to the Marquis' Mansion and intends to marry the Marquis' Mansion of Dingguo... It is Zhongli Ruoyan, she is the daughter of the sixth uncle, and it is just right for the hairpin."
Li Chenan didn't care about this, because even in the civilized society of the previous life, most of the children of truly well-founded families would choose to marry.
Although there are many disadvantages, such as the emotional foundation of the two, the different values of the two, etc.
But these are all trivial matters.
The greatest benefit of marriage is the union of family interests!
In the face of huge benefits, what is the so-called happiness of sons and grandchildren?
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 was a transcendent existence in Ningguo, and there must be many people in the Duke of Yanguo who were planning things in the court, and even had extremely high positions.
The Marquis of Dingguo Mansion is a rising star. Although it is not as tall as the Duke Mansion, Mrs. Fan is also one of the two great masters of Ningguo!
There are many talents in the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion. According to Zhongli Ruoshui, the most common ones are military generals, and they also have the most powerful Shenwu Army in Ningguo!
Therefore, this is also the reason why both Duke Cheng and Duke Qi’s mansion wanted to marry the Duke Dingguo Hou’s mansion.
The Duke of Yan State is naturally no exception.
But Mrs. Fan is an alternative. She seems to have no interest in marriage, but instead hopes that her descendants will pursue their own happiness.
"The old lady didn't agree?"
"Well, I didn't agree. I said that if they like each other, this matter would come naturally. If they don't like each other... the forced melon is not sweet after all, so I rejected Duke Yan's proposal."
"There are conflicts with each other?"
"It's not true that Yan Jidao is a martial arts man. He seems to have nothing to ask for except to pursue martial arts. He rarely lives in Kyoto, and grandma says he travels around the world almost all year round."
"So Yan Zifu grew up so spoiled by his mother and also learned extraordinary martial arts. I heard that this guy has extremely high martial arts talent and now he has few opponents, so he has become the domineering person in Yujing City!"
Li Chenan smiled slightly. Su Muxin once said that there are four talents in Kyoto, and there are four playboys in Kyoto. Of course, they call themselves the Fourth Young Master of Kyoto.
Su Muxin didn't say the names of these four people, I think this Yanzifu is one of them.
But with Qi Zhishan's first meeting today, how could he walk with a boy like Yan Zifu?
For Qi Zhishan, Li Chenan's first sense was still good.
People are very enthusiastic.
Not powerful.
He is not very slim.
After all, his younger brother lost to him, but he did not feel hostile to him because of this.
"I think Qi Zhishan may not invite Yan Zifu, that's the best... I plan to visit my second uncle tomorrow night."
Li Chenan changed the topic and went to Zhongli Ruoshui, "It has been more than ten days since he arrived in Kyoto. Brother Shang said Mr. Changsun greeted his second uncle, thinking that he would not be driven out of the Shangshu Mansion."
"Okay," Zhongli Ruoshui nodded, "I'll go with you."
"It's not good for you to go, after all, my family has not yet formally proposed marriage to your family."
Zhongli Ruoshui's face turned slightly red, "Then when are you going to propose marriage to my house?"
Li Chenan grabbed Zhongli Ruoshui's hand and smiled and said, "There is a matter of Kyoto. Let's go back to Guangling City. I will ask my father to come to Zhongli's mansion to propose marriage!"
Zhongli Ruoshui shyly lowered his head, and his heart was 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 wanted to marry was chosen by her own choice and could spend the rest of her life together.
On the other hand, she was a little frightened, fearing that after getting married, she would become a brand new family.
Home, the word "home" is very heavy.
Although the family is supported by men's shoulders, everything in the family needs to be filled with by women.
For example, oil, salt, firewood and rice.
For example, how to make this home full of warmth, poetry and picturesqueness, etc.
Then she thought of her body, which made the flame of joy in her heart slightly darkened. The coldness of the body has not occurred for three years, but it has not really broken down.
Doctor Sun said there would be no major injury... there would be some minor obstacles.
In any case, as long as it doesn’t affect giving birth to a baby for him!
Li Chenan didn't know that Zhongli Ruoshui thought a lot.
He still held Zhongli Ruoshui's hand, but his eyes were on the lights of thousands of houses outside the window, and his heart was peaceful.
At this moment, the carriage suddenly stopped.
There was a shout in front of me: "Xiangye's car, everyone else can avoid it!"
This street is actually quite wide, enough for two carriages to run in parallel, but the carriage from the opposite side was walking in the middle of the street.
Of course, An Zizai didn't let him go.
He held a horse whip in his hand and said slowly: "The carriage of the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion should be given or not, and then talk again after a fight!"
Suddenly there was no sound on the opposite side.
The two sides were in a stalemate here.
On the contrary, more and more people are watching, after all, this is a huge thing-
On one side, there were a total of six carriages and a sword-bearing guard who were huddled in front of him and behind him. In the carriage was Prime Minister Ji, the most powerful person in Ningguo today!
There was only one carriage on the other side, but the word Zhongli was written on this carriage!
Over the years, there seems to be no friction between the Dingguo Marquis’ Mansion and the Prime Minister’s Mansion. Some people say that the Dingguo Marquis’ Mansion is not as strong as the Prime Minister’s Mansion in terms of strength, so the Dingguo Marquis’ Mansion is unwilling to provoke the Prime Minister’s Mansion.
Some people also say that the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion has Mrs. Fan, one of the two great masters of Ningguo, and she also holds the most powerful Shenwu Army in Ningguo. Although the Prime Minister's Mansion is powerful, if he really works with the Marquis of Dingguo Mansion, he may not be able to get benefits.
In short, both of these forces are extremely powerful, but they seem to have deliberately avoided each other in the past.
But today I just met in this Ruyi Alley.
They don't seem to be very satisfied with each other.
If the fight starts, it's the best!
Ji Tai frowned slightly between his eyebrows, "The carriage that An Zizai drove?"
A man with a general looked like a man bowed: "The Prime Minister is indeed a carriage driven by An Zizai."
"...General An! He actually went to Huaxi Villa and became a concierge... Let's go!"
"Suan Ye,"
"let!"
"Subordinate to obey the order!"
Just in everyone's sight, the six carriages from the Prime Minister's Mansion leaned aside, and they made way in the middle!
An Zizai continued to move forward in the carriage.
Li Chenan was still outside the window.
To be continued...
