The green waves of spring flood the fishermen's houses, and the willow trees are green and green. In March, the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River breaks, and a pair of tuna has peach blossoms on it.

The air after the rain is fresh, especially by the river, which makes people feel refreshed. Situ Xi also feels the same. Today's weather seems to be particularly good, but his body is a little tired.

Zhongli Min hadn't gotten up yet, Qingyu bought some breakfast food in the market, and Situ Xi made an appointment with Mr. Fan to go to Huaiming Gongfu together.

After the two met, Mr. Fan thanked Situ Xi again and again. He seemed a little reserved today. He had not said a word since he entered Huaiming Gong's house and just walked with his head bowed.

After Butler Chen informed Zhong Limei, Mr. Fan was only allowed to stand and wait outside his courtyard gate, while Situ Xi followed Butler Chen all the way to the outside of a study room with a plaque of "Mixin Pavilion" hanging on it.

"come in."

A strong and powerful voice came from the study room, and he heard it before anyone saw him. This was the first time Situ Xi heard his father-in-law speak.

The wooden door made of yellow heart fruit wood was opened from the inside, and Situ Xi first saw Zhong Liyi's handsome face.

Needless to say, Zhongliyi's children are absolutely top-notch in appearance. That day, Zhongliyi was wearing an official uniform. The official uniform was a bit loose and solemn, but today he was wearing ordinary clothes, showing off his dashing and heroic appearance.

"Sister-in-law, come in quickly, there are only my father and me here."

Zhong Liyi glanced at Butler Chen beside him. He quickly bent down and held his hands in his hands, stepped back and turned away from the wooden corridor outside the door, leaving space for the two of them.

Situ Xi nodded and greeted Zhong Liyi, and the two walked into Mixin Pavilion together.

After entering the door, he saw Zhong Limei sitting upright on the seat of the study room.

Confucian general, this was the first word that flashed through Situ Xi's mind when he first met Zhong Limei.

Although the man on the main seat had a restrained aura and held a book in his hand, the heroic energy that seemed to emanate from his bones could not be completely hidden.

"Sit down." Zhong Limei also raised his head and looked at Situ Xi with calm eyes. This was not the first time he saw his son-in-law, but he also wanted to see his recent changes.

"My eyes are good, and I am much more determined than before. However, my body is a little weak and a little thin. In the early morning, I should be full of energy."

Just as he found a round seat on one side and sat down, Zhongli's clear and clear voice reached his ears. Situ Xi was a little embarrassed. He was indeed an older generation general with a vicious look.

"My son-in-law is also preparing to keep fit these days."

"Sister-in-law, you should practice hard. I heard that you missed the target when you were shooting arrows at Zuo Chenyan's poetry party. Did you do it on purpose?"

He actually knew about this matter. It is true that good things don't go out and bad things spread thousands of miles. Situ Xi smiled bitterly and said: "It's true that he is not good at shooting."

"Just call me brother as you are." Zhong Liyi seemed to notice that Situ Xi was struggling with the title, and then glanced at his father, "This is not good, sister-in-law, it will happen in a while.

It's the Flower Festival, and His Majesty has appointed you to participate in this spring hunt. If you are not good at bow and arrow..."

Spring hunting? You specifically asked him to go? Situ Xi was very surprised when he heard the news. Why did Emperor Chu think of him as a proton at this time?

"You presented that prism a few days ago, and His Majesty intends to reward you. Go down and practice, and perform well when the time comes." Zhong Limei saw the confusion in Situ Xi's eyes and explained to him.

"Father, let Mo'er teach my sister-in-law when the time comes. He has been working very hard recently, so he should be allowed to rest for a few days."

"Go and talk to him later." Seeing Zhongliyi mentioning his youngest son, Zhonglimei also nodded in agreement. I heard from several gentlemen that his performance has been pretty good recently.

After receiving permission, Zhong Liyi turned his attention to Situ Xi again, and then talked about business with him.

"Sister-in-law, I called you over the day before yesterday. Actually, I need your help with something."

"Brother, it doesn't matter if you say it."

"Do you have a good relationship with the two royal children of Li Kingdom?"

Hearing this, Situ Xi's heart moved. He had expected that the Chen family siblings were of high status, but he didn't expect that they were actually the princes and daughters of the Li Kingdom.

"I can't say it's not bad, it's just a nod of acquaintance, and now I've only met twice."

"Is that so...it doesn't matter. If you have the chance, I hope you can have a good relationship with them. They don't seem to want to have contact with people like us who have official status."

"Brother, what do you want to discuss with them?" Situ Xi knew that this brother-in-law was not the type who would deliberately make friends with others for no reason.

"Not yet, but it will happen sooner or later. I hope my brother-in-law can agree. This is not a bad thing for you."

"If you just make friends with them, that's fine." He and Chen Zhisu, Chen Pu and the others were quite happy with each other. For things like making friends, it would be fine if they just let nature take its course.

"That's enough, there's nothing else to say." After receiving Situ Xi's affirmative answer, Zhong Liyi nodded, then stood up and bowed to his father and Situ Xi, "Occupy my sister-in-law, you and me

It's time for the two fathers, so I'll take my leave first."

After saying that, he exited the Mixin Pavilion, and only Zhong Limei and Situ Xi were left in the study room.

"You should have read the letter I sent you last time. I called you here this time, firstly, to see how you are doing these days, and secondly, because I want to tell you something in person."

"Master Yue-Zhang, please speak." Situ Xi sat upright at this moment.

"The title of prince has completely different effects on people when it is applied to the superior and the inferior."

"Although you are in Chu State and in Xuan'an, you are not alone."

"I just need you to understand that you are now the son-in-law of my Zhongli family. At least you are closely related to us in terms of interests."

…

In a remote alley on the west side of Xuan'an City, Mu Juzheng was holding a bag of steamed buns in one hand and humming a light tune while walking between the crumbling walls on both sides.

The road was a bit muddy, and there were scattered small depressions on the ground. He swayed his body, switched his legs and jumped on one foot, avoiding the puddles along the way, looking extremely relaxed and comfortable.

There is no one around this alley, and the only door is closed at the moment. Except for the sound of raindrops falling from the eaves and entering the water beach, the source of all the sounds in the alley at this moment is Mu Juzheng.

However, when he reached the door in the alley, he suddenly stopped and stopped humming. He stopped and placed the cloth bag in his hand on the doorstep of the house. Then he clapped his hands and turned around to look.

The entrance of the alley.

"Come out, everyone. We've followed a certain path. If we continue walking, we'll almost reach the West City Gate."
