Chapter 32: Star Mansion and Chen Palace

Li Tianming saw Yandu again.

This is a fiery city, even the walls seem to be scorched by the scorching sun to a fiery red, and from a distance, it looks like a red-hot boiler, steaming.

In my impression, Yandu is the most prosperous city.

It is a dream place for the young people of Suzaku Country to gather the famous families of the entire Suzaku Country, and to gather the wealth, power, genius and resources of the whole country.

Four years ago, Li Tianming came to Yandu with lofty dreams, passed the palace examination and entered the Yanhuang Academy to practice, and everything was thriving.

Four years later, he made a comeback, and the meaning of life was completely different.

When I saw Yandu again, my mood was naturally different, and this time I brought my mother with me.

Wei Jing opened the curtain in the carriage.

Her gaze was like water, and the way she looked at Yandu was completely different from Li Tianming's.

So far, Li Tianming doesn't know what kind of story there is between her and Yandu, but he knows that Wei Jing has always been a native of Yandu before she married Li Yanfeng.

Her childhood is tied to this fiery Yan.

At this moment, her eyes were like water, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were moist, like mist.

It can be seen that twenty years later, when she returns to the hometown where she was born and raised, there must be many waves in her heart.

And those waves are hidden in the smile at the corner of his mouth.

Her silver hair flew in the air, even though she looked very old, but in that smile and this long flying hair, Li Tianming suddenly imagined her youth.

Thinking about it, it must be a lively woman who is so beautiful that people can envy it, just like Concubine Jiang and Princess Qing.

"The years and the disease are too cruel. Li Tianming buried this sentence in his heart and did not say it.

With a smile on his face, he stared at his mother and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Naughty, your mother is not a sentimental person, I, I just miss Yandu's pastries, mung bean cake, osmanthus cake, begonia cake, it tastes so good." You can tell that she is already salivating.

Once, she was also a girl who walked the streets with food in her hand.

"Don't worry, when your son has money, he will definitely let you eat enough. ”

"In the future, we will settle down in Yandu, and I will serve you so well and bring you delicious pastries every day. Li Tianming said.

"Pull the hook, don't break your promise, if you dare to forget, I won't let you go home. Wei Jing said with a straight face.

"Cruel women. Li Tianming shook his head and said.

"Beat you!"

Sure enough, after leaving the Fire City, I don't have to see that man again, happiness is so simple.

"However, we came to Yandu empty-handed, where is there a place to stay?"

This is a problem that Li Tianming urgently needs to solve, if he comes alone, he will have a place to live after entering the Yanhuang Academy.

However, her mother can't enter the Yanhuang Academy, she needs to have a home of her own.

"I'll take care of this, my mother still had a lot of friends in Yandu. Wei Jing said with a smile.

It seems that she has been planning for a long time.

"It's just that the sisters haven't seen each other in twenty years, and they're all doing better than me. ”

No matter how free and easy people are, they will be lost at this time.

Back then, they were like glue, but in the future, they all had their own families and their own lives.

After entering Yandu, Li Tianming drove the carriage and followed Wei Jing's guidance towards the western district of Yandu, which is a free land in Yandu, where commerce and trade are prosperous and mixed.

Yan is very big, if you really want to go shopping, you can't walk for a few days and nights.

"Do you know the location of the 'Chen Palace'?" Wei Jing asked.

"Of course, I know that the Star Mansion and the Chen Palace are the most luxurious and glorious mansions in the western district of Yandu, if it weren't for the reverence of the Vermilion Bird Royal Family, these two mansions might be built more luxuriously than the Imperial City. ”

Li Tianming has stayed in Yandu for a year, and he knows the streets of Yandu well.

The main reason why these two mansions can be so luxurious is because of the money. Because

This is the residence of the two presidents of the 'Star Chamber of Commerce'.

The Star Chamber of Commerce is the largest business alliance in the Vermilion Bird Country, controlling the economic lifeline of the country, and countless chapters have opened all over the city, large and small, and there are also branches in the Fire City.

As the saying goes, there is only enough money, and there is nothing that cannot be bought in the Star Chamber of Commerce.

The two presidents of the Star Chamber of Commerce are legends of the Suzaku Country.

They are civilian geniuses, starting from scratch together, and more than twenty years ago they were known as the 'Star Twins', and now they are revered as the 'Star Twins'.

The two of them opened the Star Chamber of Commerce all over the country in just twenty years, and they had wealth that rivaled the country, making the Star Chamber of Commerce, which was only twenty years old, the most emerging force in the Vermilion Bird Country.

Even, it is enough to compete with many old giants with a history of thousands of years, such as the Lei Zun Mansion.

Xingfu and Chengong are the residences of Xingsheng and Chensheng respectively, and over the years, they have received countless high-class figures.

However, it was not a place for ordinary people to enter, and Li Tianming had never approached it anyway.

"What are you doing in the Chen Palace? Could it be that you know someone from the Chen Palace?" Li Tianming asked curiously.

"There was once a good sister who married into the Chen Palace. Wei Jing said.

Maybe it's about to see a friend I haven't seen for twenty years, and I'm a little nervous, after all, she's seriously ill and desperate.

Soon after, a starlit mansion appeared before them.

This mansion is like a small city, located in the most prosperous part of Yandu, surrounded by many famous families.

Chen Palace is like the stars holding the moon, magnificent and elegant, many sculptures and reliefs are very stylish, the dazzling starlight is enough to make ordinary people ashamed of themselves, dare not approach.

Far away from the gate of the Chen Palace, there are guards with advanced cultivation, guarding them with fierce companion beasts.

Seeing the adult male lion and tiger, crawling on the ground, even if they are napping, it is very intimidating to the people around them.

Li Tianming came in a carriage, this carriage is Li Yanfeng's car, so it is luxurious enough, so the guard at the door acquiesces that there should be a person in the carriage.

So, they were quite polite and asked, "Your Excellency is going to visit the Chen Palace?"

"I'm tired of telling your wife Xuelan, and I'll say that the old man Wei Jing, please see me. She whispered softly as she opened the roller blinds.

"Madame, our lady is generally not a regular visitor, please please embarrass us. The guard said earnestly.

"Please inform me my name, trouble. If there is no response, I will naturally leave. Wei Jing said very politely.

The guards weren't sure, after all, the one in front of them was an old man, maybe it might be some elder of Madame's, so to be on the safe side, they still reported inside.

The waiting time is a bit long, after all, the Chen Palace is too big, and it naturally takes time to report to the lady.

"Mother, does this lady have a high status in the Chen Palace?" Li Tianming asked curiously.

"Naturally, she is taller, she is the wife of Chen Sheng. Wei Jing smiled.

"What the hell?" Li Tianming was taken aback, and he had to look at Wei Jing with puzzled eyes.

Her former friend actually had the existence of Mrs. Chensheng, which means that her status in Yandu will not be low.

Chen Sheng, but now he is the man of the hour in the entire Vermilion Bird Country, and his status is comparable to that of the Minister of the Suzaku Country.

This kind of character is not even accessible to Li Yanfeng.

When Li Tianming was still a little suspicious, news had already come out, and the guard hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My wife, please see, Mrs. is arranging in the 'Xuechen Pavilion', please Mrs. Wei get off the carriage and go in with the villain." ”

Wei Jing was unable to walk, so Li Tianming helped her into the Chen Palace.

After coming in, Li Tianming saw how luxurious this Chen Palace was, there were jewels and glass everywhere, five steps to the first floor, ten steps to one pavilion, flowers and flowers, beautiful.

Compared to the City Lord's Mansion in the Fire City and this Chen Palace, it can only be called a burrow.

can be the hostess in such a Chen Palace, it seems that this woman named Xue Lan is also an extraordinary person.

Li Tianming must be calm, otherwise he will be too much like a hillbilly entering the city.

It's just that the former sisters, one of them now doesn't even have a name and a place to stay, but the other is the mistress of this Chen Palace and the wife of Chen Sheng.

Life encounters are really embarrassing, and the people who meet are not good people have a painful life.

It's just that Wei Jing's face is calm, it seems that her sister can have this kind of happiness, she is not jealous, but deeply happy for it.

The journey to Xuechen Pavilion was a bit long, and there was also a martial arts arena on the way.

The martial arts arena was particularly lively at this time, and there were many teenagers and girls from the Star Chamber of Commerce who were competing for trials.

Every Yanhuang Academy Entrance Examination, there are very many disciples of the Xingchen Chamber of Commerce who can enter the Yanhuang Academy Palace to practice, and today's drill is estimated to be for the final preparation.

After all, three days later, it will be the day of the official temple examination.

Li Tianming noticed that there was a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy in the martial arts arena who was very dazzling.

The young man was slender and handsome, dressed in a blue drill suit, his long hair neatly combed and meticulous, and the most dazzling part of his body was his eyes.

The eyes were as bright as the stars, crystal clear, like jewels and emeralds.

Even if Li Tianming was far away, he could see the light of this pair of eyes.

This is definitely a child of a great family, and the innate crystal clear feeling is not something that ordinary marginal children can compare.

For example, Liu Qianyang, he does have a noble temperament and a strong aura, but compared with this young man, he obviously lacks a crystal clear and pure heart.

From a distance, this young man looked like a pure star, so although there were many martial arts geniuses around, from a long distance, they could see at a glance that he was the dazzling one among them.

His companion beast was a burly purple lion.

The purple male lion's eyes had six very obvious star spots, and each star point was shining, which was enough to show that this young man's companion beast was a sixth-order companion beast.

can have a sixth-order companion beast, which means that this young man is a top genius in Yandu, not something that Liu Qianyang, Jiang Yilin and others can compare.

"This is the companion beast of our Tatsuyao boy, the 'Six-Star Yao Lion'. It is said that even among the sixth-order companion beasts, it can be regarded as a 'high-grade' existence. "The guards are proud, proud, and envious.

Li Tianming knew that on Yandu's side, the grades of the companion beasts would be more detailed.

The same fifth-order companion beast and sixth-order companion beast will also be divided into three levels: upper, middle, and lower in a class.

For example, his four-winged golden-winged Dapeng was once listed as a fifth-order middle-grade companion beast, and belonged to the middle among the fifth-order companion beasts.

And this six-star Yao Lion is not only a sixth-order companion beast, but also a top-grade existence, which shows that this 'Chen Yao' young master is extremely talented.

"Is this Xue Lan's child?" Wei Jing asked.

"Of course, the young man Chen Yao is the youngest son of Madame, and Madame's eldest son, 'Chen Hao', has already entered Tianfu to practice, and now he is very high on the list of Tianfu. The guard said proudly.

Chenhao?

Li Tianming knew, four years ago, he ranked in the top three in the palace examination, was suppressed by Lin Xiaoting, and failed to enter Tianfu directly, but his hard work paid off, and today he is already a genius in Tianfu.

"Young Master Chen Yao is about to take the palace exam in three days, and he is very hopeful of getting the first place in the palace exam and going directly to Heaven. ”

"It is said that the younger you are, the sooner you enter Tianfu, the more cultivation and cultivation you will get, if Young Master Chen Hao could be the first in the palace exam four years ago, it is estimated that today it will not be worse than the one in Lei Zun Mansion. ”

Needless to say, Li Tianming knew that the young master of this Chen Palace must be the first popular candidate for the palace examination.
