Shen Kuo's way back home was full of gloomy clouds. [No pop-ups. Sitting in the carriage, his body swaying with the bumps of the carriage, he closed his eyes and locked his eyebrows, his hands into fists, worried.

When he arrived at the house and got out of the carriage, the porter was stunned when they saw him. His mental state was so bad that his face was really ugly.

As soon as he entered the house, he went into the study and saw no one.

After about two cups of tea, he suddenly got up, called the house slave into the house and said, "Go to the Founding County Mansion and invite Li Shizi." ”

"Li Shizi is in the house......" The house slave was a little aggrieved. Just now, he reported that Li Shizi came to the mansion to ask to see him, but he was angrily shouted "no" by his master, and he was reprimanded for being noisy.

"Oh?" Shen Kuo was not impressed at all. Regardless of this, he hurriedly ordered: "Hurry! Invite him to the study. ”

"Yes, slave will go." The house slave said a cigarette and ran in the direction of the front hall, for fear that Li Shizi had already been sent away by the housekeeper.

Fortunately, when he arrived in the front hall, Li Shizi was still talking politely to the housekeeper, just as he was about to leave. He hurriedly called and said, "Li Shizi, stay here, my family's honorable prince invites you to come over." ”

Li Ji was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly followed the slave to the study.

He heard from his father Li Wei early in the morning that the Son of Heaven was going to crown Chen Xiang as Chen Guogong, and he immediately exploded. After learning that the Son of Heaven had met Shen Kuo in private, he hurried to the Taifu Mansion to ask for an understanding.

In the study, Shen Kuo only told him: "The matter of sealing Chen Guogong is a foregone conclusion." "It doesn't explain too much.

"Li Shizi, I invited you here because I have another matter to discuss with you." When Li Ji wanted to ask, Shen Kuo took a step closer and said solemnly.

"Master Taifu, please speak." His heart tightened, and he listened with pricked ears.

"Set off to Lin'an City immediately and marry Aman into the family!" In Shen Kuo's cloudy eyes, the scorching essence flashed, making people feel inexplicably uneasy and afraid.

"Why?" Li Ji only felt that something big must have happened if he was in such a hurry.

"So as not to change." Shen Kuo's voice was lowered, but the tone was raised, and it sounded like it was a very likely thing.

Li Ji looked at him, his eyebrows frowned slightly, and his pupils constricted, as if he understood something. Although he didn't know what kind of change it would be, he knew that this change would definitely make him unable to marry Shen Liancheng.

"I'm going to go!" Then he turned and was about to leave.

"Wait." Shen Kuo grabbed him and reminded: "Don't make a show, don't let people know that you have set off, but let people think that you are ......"

Speaking of this, his words froze, his expression was a little more terrifying, and he continued word by word: "You didn't set off, and from beginning to end, you didn't set off!" Think of a way, you have to make people think that I made you postpone your departure, I made you postpone your marriage, including the virtuous family, you have to make them think so. ”

Shen Kuo knew very well what he was saying and doing, but he looked like he had lost his mind.

Li Ji understood seven or eight points, but his scalp was numb, the hairs on his body quickly stood up one by one, and there was only one sentence in his mind: If you don't do this, you won't be able to marry Aman! It has to be done.

"Okay, I got it!"

It is necessary not only to marry openly and openly, but also to be sneaky and hide people's eyes...... No matter how difficult this matter was, Li Ji agreed to it.

He was wise. In the afternoon of the same day, there was news from the Founding County Mansion that Mrs. Shen was going to postpone the marriage of Li Shizi and Mrs. Shen for some reason, and Li Shizi was so anxious that he fell ill for fear of change.

Early the next morning, Li Wei, the founder of the county, and his wife Huang went to Taifu's mansion to ask Taifu for an explanation, but Taifu said that he was sick and bedridden, and could not see guests, and even the Son of Heaven took leave.

This sudden change is simply puzzling.

On the same day, Yonghua Lane was noisy with gongs and drums, bursts of firecrackers, and the traffic was so lively. And the next street is the joy of Yue Shi Youdu's housewarming, and the only people who came to celebrate were Shen Qingzhi and his servant Jianzhu. It was enough to have few people, but as soon as the cannon battle was lit, it was drowned out by the hustle and bustle of Yonghua Lane.

The four of them couldn't help but walk out of the house, and saw the street opposite, from time to time there were high-ranking officials and wealthy families, and they went to that side.

"The household in Yonghua Lane also entered the house today." Yudu said that he was a little excited, and he ran fast under his feet, and he had already walked to the front. Jian Zhu did a good thing, and he also poked his head out and followed closely.

Yue Shi and Shen Qingzhi walked behind, and they were also shocked when they saw Yonghua Lane lined up with canopy cars.

"This is the car of Dingguofu...... Prince Rong's Mansion, Jin Wang's Mansion...... Here they all are! Youdu muttered as he walked forward, and finally saw the golden plaque in front of the mansion. Chen Guofu" three big characters came into view.

It turned out that this mansion was given to Chen Xiang by the Son of Heaven. Even the three words "Chen Guofu" are inscriptions of the Son of Heaven.

When Shen Qingzhi and Jian Zhu saw it, they immediately became angry in their hearts. Yue Shi was also red-eyed, only to look at life at a young age, and he didn't care.

Shen Qingzhi quickly said goodbye to the two of them, wanted to go home, and wanted to tell his grandfather Shen Kuo about it. However, walking down the street, he suddenly stopped.

What is there to say? The grandfather suddenly became ill, lived at home, and postponed the marriage of his eldest sister...... It was weird. He didn't know the inside story, so he couldn't intervene at all. What's the point of saying these useless things?

He was very distressed, and his beautiful face added a little worry. When I took a step again, I looked up again and saw a sedan chair on the opposite side, and half of the familiar head poked out of the window.

It was Xue Yun, the third lady of the Marquis of Wucheng's mansion. She waved her hand to greet Shen Qingzhi, quickly got off the sedan chair, walked to him happily, and asked after seeing the salute: "Didn't you say that your eldest sister's friend was happy to move?" What are you doing when you don't eat and drink at this time, but stand stupidly on the street? ”

"I was in a hurry, so I came back early." Shen Qingzhi smiled gently, only then did he see that Xue Yun was carved in pink and jade today, and his dress was also very exquisite, and he came out in a sedan chair, and he brought more attendants than in the past, so he couldn't help asking: "Where are you going?" ”

"Chen Guogong's new official is knighted, and he entered the house today and invited our family." Xue Yun said with an innocent and harmless face, "Jiazun and my two brothers have gone, and I also want to join in the fun, but I overslept and delayed ......"

He was still a little embarrassed when he said it, but he couldn't hide the excitement in his heart: "I heard that Chen Guofu is beautifully built, and it is built according to the imperial garden of Empress Chen." Kyoto's powerful house, almost all gone! I saw that many of the noble ladies also went. They went to admire Chen Guogong's beauty......"

"I'm not! I just want to see what Empress Chen's imperial garden looks like. This matter must be said resolutely, because in her heart, no matter how beautiful she is, she is not as beautiful as Shen Qing.

Shen Qingzhi listened to her words, and his heart felt a lot more open, and he couldn't help laughing.

With this smile, Xue Yun was so excited that he couldn't move his footsteps.

"Go ahead, don't be left behind, you can't get in." Shen Qingzhi gently admonished.

"Why don't you come with me?" Xue Yun had a whim.
