Chapter Twenty-Four: Yumo's Mother
Guangling City is huge.
The one that Li Chen'an made outside the mansion was like a stone thrown into the painting screen lake.
Although it has stirred up a circle of ripples, it has not yet been able to transmit to the entire picture screen lake, but it still has a huge impact in some places.
For example, Shen Mansion.
For example, Huo Mansion.
For example, Zhongli Mansion.
For example, Guangling Prefecture.
His retreat from the mansion had apparently attracted the attention of some people, who knew that the fool who had been kicked out of the house in the Li Mansion had indeed become a little different.
There must be some powerful force standing behind him.
But who it is, except for the prefect Liu Chu, it is not clear, and they all think that it is really Zhongli Mansion.
Zhongli Qiuyang was silent about this, thinking to himself that his sister really took it seriously?
It's twilight.
Guangling Shen family.
Shen Qianshan's face was gloomy, as if he could wring out water.
His son had already asked a doctor to come and put on the ointment, and now his face was wrapped like a rice dumpling.
"Daddy, daddy, you must take out this bad breath for the child!"
Shen Qianshan took a deep breath and looked at his daughter Shen Qiaodie.
"On the third day of the third month of March, the song "Butterfly Loves Flowers" that appeared in Huaping Lake was really written by Li Chen'an?"
"Back to the father, the daughter was sure that he did it, because the daughter was on the third lady's painting boat that day, and it was the third lady who said it herself. β
Guangling Tongju, who was sitting on the side, frowned and asked, "Is there another possibility?"
"A few days ago, I received a letter from my second brother from Kyoto, mentioning one thing, Cheng Guogong wanted Zhongli Ruoshui to become his Cheng family's daughter-in-law...... The second brother said that Cheng Guogong went to the Dingguo Marquis's Mansion, but when he came out, he was a little embarrassed, thinking that he was reprimanded by Mrs. Fan Taohua. β
"We Ningguo dare not to take the five princes in our eyes, and there is probably only this old lady Fan. β
The second brother said that Mrs. Fan loved her granddaughter Zhongli Ruoshui very much, and let out her words, and Zhongli Ruoshui's choice of a son-in-law was all up to her. β
So Cheng Guogong took his grandson Chen Zhe to Guangling City. β
"So what is the best way for Zhongli Ruoshui to refuse this marriage? It is not appropriate to refuse in person, after all, it hurts Cheng Guogong's face, so she adopts the method of choosing a son-in-law with literature. β
"But that literary meeting didn't decide the winner, and even Su Muxin and Young Master Qi didn't get their wish, so I thought Zhongli Ruoshui hadn't found her favorite husband so far. β
"It just so happens that Mr. Hua Manting also came to Guangling City at this time, so could the song "Butterfly Love Flowers" be composed by Mr. Hua, and he chose Li Chen'an, a fool, to take the blame?"
Shen Qianshan and Shen Qiaodie were taken aback, and then listened to Huo Chuanming and said:
"The official also sent someone to check Li Chen'an's details, he could never make that poem, just now my niece said that the poem won the praise of Hua Lao Confucian...... I'm afraid I'm just acting in the same play!"
After all, Hua Manting and Zhong Lipo had a very close relationship in Kyoto, and he personally took action, the purpose of which was for Zhong Lifu to euphemistically reject everyone's marriage proposals. β
Of course, it is estimated that he has also reached a deal with Li Chenan in private...... Maybe he gave Li Chenan silver, otherwise where did he get the money to reopen the shop?"
"What's more, I'm afraid that Zhongli Mansion also agreed to provide protection to Li Chen'an, so today Li Chen'an dared to beat Ling Gongzi at the door of the mansion unscrupulously. β
"In addition, the one who said that Li Xiaohua was released was the prefect who didn't ask about these trivial things!"
"Lord Liu is a proud protΓ©gΓ© of the full court!"
Shen Qianshan suddenly realized.
Shen Qiaodie thought about these words carefully and nodded, "Uncle's analysis is reasonable, and my niece has just figured it out, it should be so!"
Shen Qianshan took a deep breath, "So...... The dog's meal was in vain?"
Huo Chuanming smiled slightly and shook his head: "How can there be a reason to suffer in vain!"
"After all, Li Chenan is a small citizen in the market, Zhongli Mansion uses him at this time, it is impossible to protect him for the rest of his life!"
"I have heard that Cheng Guogong has arrived in Guangling City around noon today, and if he fails to propose marriage, of course he will return to Kyoto. β
As soon as Cheng Guogong left, Zhong Lifu's refusal to marry was successful, Li Chen'an lost his role, and Zhonglifu would not look at him again. β
"By then......"
Huo Chuanming's eyes narrowed slowly, and a cold light appeared in his vision.
"At that time, just take a little trick to send him to prison, and all the grievances suffered by the son will be repaid by Li Chenan a hundred times!"
Shen Qianshan bowed: "Thank you, Brother Huo!"
"You're welcome, Huo Shen's second family will be a family sooner or later. β
"When Shufan comes back from Kyoto, Huo Mansion will propose to your Shen family. β
"It's just that you must take the matter I told you before to heart, the autumn grain in Jiangnan...... No matter how much it costs, the second brother's meaning is worth it!"
"The villain has always kept it in mind, and has opened up the situation in the counties and counties south of the Yangtze River, but it is just ...... It's just that the long-term cultivation of Jiangnan surnamed Cai is a little tricky. β
Huo Chuanming showed a smile, and he stood up, "Don't worry, Cai Zhengyao's official has his own arrangements." β
Shen Qianshan was overjoyed, and quickly stood up and bowed to give a big salute: "Cai Zhengyao's share, plus the Shen family's three percent." β
"Well, the head of the Shen family has a heart. β
"Brother Xie Huo, would you like to ask Brother Huo to stay and drink two cups?"
"Another day, there are also distinguished guests in Huo Mansion today. β
......
......
Li Chen'an was busy in the backyard of the tavern all afternoon.
Li Xiaohua and Cui Sanniang have already moved from the small grain shop in the West Market, and his small grain shop does not have much grain in stock, but it is also full of a hut in the West Wing.
For this reason, Li Chenan spent another eight taels of silver.
Of course, Li Xiaohua and Cui Sanniang resolutely refused, and Li Chenan finally gave the eight taels of silver.
Li Qiaoxi came here in the afternoon.
Li Chen'an took Li Xiaohua to start the pre-process of winemaking, and it was not until sunset that dozens of catties of grain were steamed, and after stirring evenly with koji, Li Xiaohua stacked all the grains in the wine trough and covered with a quilt.
The next step is to wait for a fermentation time of one or twenty days.
Dinner was made by Li Qiaoxi.
Then Li Chenan knew that Li Xiaohua said that his meal was a bit big, how big it was!
"Didn't I tell you to get three catties of rice?"
Li Xiaohua ate three pots of dry rice, and the pot was empty.
Li Qiaoxi was very aggrieved, "I put down three catties of rice, but he ate two catties!"
Li Xiaohua was very embarrassed, he hung his head and smiled: "That, young master, miss, I, I did eat a little more, I just ate a little less in the future." β
"How much more is there to be full?"
"Ah...... Three more pots is estimated to be about the same. β
β...... Cook six catties of rice tomorrow!"
"Brother," Li Qiaoxi felt that his heart was dripping blood, and Li Chenan waved his hand, "People are iron and steel." I'm hungry when I haven't eaten a full meal, listen to my brother!"
"Also...... Get up early tomorrow morning and run with me to exercise, by the way, do you know where the alley of the Four Temples is?"
