There is no fisherman in the green wave spring, and the willows are green and green. In March, the spring rain in the south of the Yangtze River rested, and a pair of tuna were peach blossoms.

The air after the rain is fresh, and the riverside is especially fresh, which makes people feel refreshed, Situ Xi also thinks so, today's weather seems to be exceptionally good, but the body is a little tired.

Zhong Lixuan hadn't gotten up yet, and whispered to buy some morning food in the bazaar, and Situ Xi made an appointment with Fan Lao to go to the Huaiming Mansion together.

After the two met, Fan Lao thanked Situ Xi again and again, he seemed a little restrained today, and he didn't say a word since he entered the Huaiming Mansion, just walked with his head down.

After Steward Chen informed Zhong Liwu, Fan Lao was only allowed to stand and wait outside his courtyard gate, while Situ Xi followed Steward Chen all the way to the outside of a study with a plaque of "Seeking Heart Pavilion".

"Come in."

The majestic and powerful voice came from the study, and no one heard it first, this was the first time Situ Xi heard his father-in-law speak.

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

Should I say it or not, Zhong Liyi's appearance of these children is definitely top-notch, Zhong Liyi was wearing an official uniform that day, the official uniform was a little wide, and there was a sense of solemnity, and today he was wearing a regular uniform, showing a sassy and heroic appearance.

"Sister-in-law, come in, it's just me and my father here."

Zhong Liyi glanced at Steward Chen beside him, he hurriedly bent down and bowed his hand, turned back and left the wooden corridor outside the door, leaving space for the two of them.

Situ Xi nodded to Zhong Liyi and said hello, and the two walked into the Heart Seeking Pavilion together.

When he entered the door, he saw Zhong Liwu sitting upright on the main seat of the study.

Confucian general, this is the first word that flashed through Situ Xi's mind when he first saw Zhong Lifu.

Although the man on the main seat was restrained and holding a scroll in his hand, the heroic energy that seemed to emanate from his bones could not be completely hidden.

"Sit down." Zhong Liwu also raised his head to look at Situ Xi at this time, his eyes were peaceful, it was not the first time he had seen his son-in-law, but at this time he also wanted to see his recent changes.

"The eyes are good, much more resolute than before, but the body is a little weak, a little thin, early in the morning, it should be full of energy."

As soon as he found a round seat on the side and sat down, Zhong Li's clear voice came into his ears, Situ Xi was a little embarrassed, he was worthy of being an older generation of generals, and his eyes were vicious.

"My son-in-law is also preparing to strengthen his body recently."

"Sister-in-law, it's time to practice hard, I heard that you shot at Zuo Shenyan's poetry meeting, didn't you do it deliberately?"

He actually knew about this matter, it was really a good thing not to go out, and bad things to spread thousands of miles, Situ Xi smiled bitterly and said: "It's really not good at archery." ”

"Just call me brother as soon as you call me up." Zhong Liyi seemed to see that Situ Xi was a little entangled in the question of title, and then glanced at his father, "This is a little bad, sister-in-law, it will be the Flower Dynasty Festival after a while, Your Majesty has appointed you to participate in this spring hunt, if you are not good at bows and arrows......"

Spring hunting? Do you want him to go? Situ Xi was very surprised when he heard the news, why did Emperor Chu think of him at this time.

"You presented that prism a few days ago, and Your Majesty intends to reward you, go down and practice, and behave well when the time comes." Zhong Liwu saw the doubt in Situ Xi's eyes and explained to him.

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

"You'll talk to him later." Seeing Zhong Liyi mention his youngest son, Zhong Liyi also nodded and promised, listening to several gentlemen, he has been doing well recently.

With permission, Zhong Liyi moved his gaze to Situ Xi again, and then talked to him about business.

"Sister-in-law, I called you over the day before yesterday, but I actually need some help from you."

"Big brother, but it's okay to say."

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

Hearing this, Situ Xi's heart moved, he had expected that the Chen family's sister and brother would be noble, but he didn't expect that they were actually the prince and daughter of the Li Kingdom.

"I can't say it's good, it's just a nodding friend, and now we just meet two sides."

"Is that so...... All right, if you have the chance, I want you to have a good relationship with them, they don't seem to want to come into contact with those of us who have official status. ”

"Big brother, is there anything you want to discuss with them?" Situ Xi knows that this brother-in-law is not the type who will deliberately befriend people for no reason.

"Not yet, but sooner or later. I also hope that my sister-in-law can agree, which is not a bad thing for you. ”

"If it's just to be good friends, it's okay." He got along with Chen Zhishu and Chen Pu quite happily, and it was good to let it be natural to make friends.

"That's fine, there's nothing to say about the rest" After receiving Situ Xi's affirmative answer, Zhong Liyi nodded, then stood up and bowed to his father and Situ Xi, "It's taken up the time of your sister-in-law and your father, I'll retire first." ”

After that, he withdrew from the outside of the Heart Seeking Pavilion, and only Zhong Liwu and Situ Xi were left in the study room.

"You should have read the letter to you last time, and I called you here this time, first, to see how you are doing recently, and secondly, I want to tell you in person that I want to tell you in person."

"Master Yue, please speak." Situ Xi sat up straight at this moment.

"The title of prince has a completely different impact when applied to the superior and the inferior."

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

"I just need you to be clear, you are now the son-in-law of my Zhongli family, at least in terms of interests, it is closely related to us."

……

In a remote alley on the west side of Xuan'an City, Mu Juzheng was walking between the decadent walls on both sides with a bag of steamed buns in one hand and humming a brisk little song at the moment.

The road was a little muddy, and the ground was littered with small depressions, and he shook his body and jumped on one foot with his legs and legs, avoiding puddles along the way, looking very relaxed.

There was no one around this alleyway, and the only portal was closed at the moment, except for the sound of raindrops falling from the eaves into the water, all the sound sources in the alley at this moment were Mu Juzheng alone.

However, when he reached the door in the alley, he suddenly stopped, stopped humming, stopped and put the cloth bag in his hand on the side of the threshold of the house, and then clapped his hands and turned to look at the mouth of the alley.

"Come out, I've followed a certain way, and I'm almost at the West City Gate if I go any further."
