Li Chenan was not interested in this ancient man's selection of sons-in-law with literature.

He felt that this matter was extremely unreliable, and he might be able to choose a real talent, but if this talent was born, he would have an unbearable appearance...... Just now, the handsome young man said that the third young lady of Zhongli Mansion is as beautiful as a flower, isn't this a flower inserted in cow dung?

Looking at the magnificent painting boat, I think that Zhongli Mansion is also a rich or expensive existence, such a person, such a young lady, why use such a method of gambling luck?

After the spring festival is over, wouldn't it be better to choose a good son-in-law from that list?

Or the selection from the children of the powerful family can also play the role of marriage, which is more reliable than choosing a son-in-law with literature.

He just thought so, after all, this matter had nothing to do with him.

His heart is like an ancient well, and it does not wave.

In his previous life, he was thirty-five years old, and he was deeply hurt by the word love, so much so that he created a huge fortune but was still unmarried, and became the fifth king of golden diamonds.

Now that I think about it, was the mentality at that time to take revenge on the woman she used to be, or to make up for the loneliness and emptiness in my heart, or both?

In short, in his previous life, he shuttled among the flowers for a long time, often not returning at night, and the flowers around him were of course changed one stubble after another.

He's seen too many flowers.

There are even Thai-made ones!

Well, just like that handsome boy just now.

In fact, when I calm down now, I realize how ridiculous it is.

It is the years that are desolate, and it also makes the hearts of some girls who really love him cold.

The self in that world must be dead, right?

So who would be sad at their own funeral?

Maybe not one.

With a dumb smile, Li Chenan shook his head, leaving his past behind.

Out of the turbulent sea of people, he has come to the south of the lake in the painting screen, turning his head to look, the painting screen is full of heads, so it seems that the third lady of Zhongli Mansion really has a great attraction, so many young talents, who has the luck to become a guest on the painting boat?

The boat had docked.

The next thing should be the so-called cultural meeting.

Li Chenan turned around and didn't look back again.

He looked at the sun, and it was time to go back—

Go back to the shop that has gone out of business, and he lives there.

It was a food shop, and he used to sell some steamed cakes and grass cakes, and since he could only settle down here, he decided to reopen the food shop.

He's not good at cooking, and he has a way to do it in his head, but he can't do it anymore if he opens it after it's closed down once.

Let's open a tavern.

I know the job of making wine, and I once went to a certain winery to see it because of this good taste.

There were still two taels of silver left in his pocket, which were stuffed to him by his mother and sister a few days ago.

Originally, there were four taels, but two taels were spent in the past ten days.

It was because of this silver that he survived for the time being, so he was extremely impressed by this mother.

It was a kind and kind woman, a thrifty woman, and a rather cowardly woman.

So that as the main house of the Li family, he was oppressed by the little concubine, Li Wenhan probably disliked the woman Lao Zhuhuang, of course, it may also be because the son she gave birth to was not angry, in short, in the memory of the original owner, Li Wenhan did not have much good face for his mother.

However, the concubine's son has inherited the blood of the Li family, and he is fourteen this year, and he has been admitted to Xiucai when he was last year, which has become the sustenance of Li Wenhan's hope.

In this era when mothers and children are expensive, mothers without any background may have more and more difficult days in the Li Mansion.

My mother is not having a good time, and my sister's life will not be easy.

It would be best to run the shop and earn money to take over my mother and sister.

Thinking so, Li Chenan left Huaping Lake and walked into the alley of Qiliqiao.

Passing through the Qiliqiao Alley, and then turning the Octagonal Pavilion, you will arrive at the Erjinggou Alley where he lives.

It's not far, and it's about half an hour to walk slowly.

Little did he know that a woman with a sword was in the distance behind him.

She is Yu Heng, one of the four masters under the four princesses.

Yu Heng looked at his back, frowning slightly between his eyebrows, revealing a trace of doubt-

His back was slightly hooked, but as he walked forward, it gradually stood upright, and finally straightened.

The gait was still slow, but it was firm, like a moving javelin.

It's like a sudden metamorphosis.

What has changed?

Yu Heng didn't understand, and she didn't think again, her task was to follow him and not disturb him.

It's just that she feels a little weird, how could Ning Chuchu, the fourth princess who is in charge of the Lijing Division, the highest spy agency of the Ning Empire, be interested in such a little-known man?

......

......

Draw Pingtung.

There are guards who isolate the range of dozens of zhang outside the Yanyu Pavilion.

Zhongli Ruoshui, the third lady of Zhongli Mansion, had already left the painting boat under the protection of the guards and came to the Yanyu Pavilion.

Of course, the boat is very busy right now, because if you want to get on the boat, you have to make the bottom of the couplet.

There are three tables on the deck of the painting boat, and in front of them sit three old men with dignified faces, who are learned men, who are the judges of this meeting.

The next couplet from the students on the shore will be signed and presented to the three judges, and if they can get the praise of two of them, they will be invited to climb the second floor of the boat.

If you can get the praise of the three judges at the same time, you will be able to climb the three floors of the boat.

If all three judges judge a lower link as a first, that person can become a guest of honor on three floors.

Zhongli Ruoshui looked back at the bustle of the place, pouted and sat in front of the fourth princess Ning Chuchu, her maidservant took a curtain to enclose the smoke and rain pavilion, so what happened inside could no longer be seen outside.

She reached out and opened the food box, took a delicate snack from it, and stuffed the snack into her small mouth without hesitation, and her cheeks bulged suddenly.

"It's still the best water chestnut cake in Kyoto!"

I said...... Didn't you write last month saying that you were going to the Northern Desert in person? Why did you suddenly change your mind and want to come to this Guangling City?"

Ning Chuchu seemed to be accustomed to Zhong Li Ruoshui's actions, and she also twisted a piece of almond cake and took a small bite, "Father has changed his mind, I guess...... It is estimated that the prince wants this credit. ”

She chewed in small bites, looking more ladylike than Zhongli Ruoshui, but she was the famous spy leader of Ning Kingdom, while Zhongli Ruoshui was a famous talented woman in Ning Kingdom.

It seems to be the opposite in terms of eating.

"In September of last year, the desolate people of the Northern Desert committed the border, and the Northern Desert was guarded by the general Xiahou Zhuo, where was the desolate man his opponent, but the desolate man defeated the Jiuyin Pass, and even occupied the ...... of the Jiuyin City."

"Isn't this Xiahou Zhuo the domestic slave of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince......? Could it be that it was done on purpose, so that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could gain military merits to suppress the second prince?"

Ning Chuchu took another small bite of the almond cake, and his beautiful eyebrows raised, "What the hell knows? If that's the case...... I'm afraid they're taking chestnuts in the fire!"

"Wild people are not terrible. ”

"The Northern Desert has been peaceful for a long time, and the former desolate people are not terrible, but now they are not necessarily!"

"How?"

Ning Chuchu swallowed the macaroons in his mouth, "Now the leader of the desolate people is named Yuwenfeng! This person rose to the Xiushan tribe five years ago, and it took him three years to unify the Northern Desert and establish the first real city in the history of the desolate people in Xiushuiyuan!"

"That city is called the Great Wilderness City, the sixteen large and small tribes of the Northern Desert in the past were conquered by him, and he founded the twenty-seven states of the Northern Desert, in fact, he has established a powerful country, but it is just ...... It's just that the temple doesn't realize his most likely ambition next!"

Zhongli Ruoshui was stunned, "Is it so powerful?"

The corners of Ning Chuchu's mouth curled, "I'm afraid it's even more powerful than many people think!"

"What does the emperor mean?"

"Father, he ...... I guess I also want to see the ability of the prince's brother. ”

Ning Chuchu said this more tactfully, in fact, she had already admonished her father, but obviously did not attract her father's attention.

Or maybe the emperor has other considerations.

Who knows?

"I'm not here to tell you this, I just want to ask you, why did you make this thing about choosing a son-in-law with a text?"

Zhongli Ruoshui pursed his lips, took another osmanthus cake from the food box, and took a big bite, "Cheng Guogong wants to propose to me for his son...... You know, I always treated him as a brother in Kyoto, and now he wants to sleep with me!"

"My father doesn't want to offend Cheng Guogong's Mansion, what can I do?"

"I didn't have an idea after thinking about it, but then it was the idea that Shen Qiaodie, the eldest lady of the Shen family, gave me the idea, and before Cheng Guogong came from Kyoto, he released the news to the talented people of Guangling...... You see, it's working pretty well!"

Ning Guoda's talented girl Zhong Li Ruoshui did not look like a talented woman at the moment.

Her pretty face was smug, and her cheeks were still bulging, more like a girl with a wild temperament.

Ning Chuchu didn't think it was strange, because in private, Zhongli Ruoshui was originally eccentric.

She was strange about the girl named Shen Qiaodie.

"Who is Shen Qiaodie?"

"Oh, the daughter of Shen Qianshan, a grain merchant in Guangling...... It's a pity that life is not good. ”

"What's a bad idea?"

"It's not that I blame her father!"

Zhongli Ruoshui was indignant, and said: "Her father ordered a family affair for her, a doll family, and the other party is the Li family...... It is the Li family of the father and son of the Seven Jinshi and the three Tanhua, but unfortunately it is not the son of Li Wenhou, the current household secretary, but the son of Li Wenhan, the head of the Takeshita Academy in Guangling City. ”

"Isn't that good? After all, she is from a scholarly family, so how can she be worthy of being the daughter of a businessman. ”

"You don't know, this Li Wenhan's son is named Li Chen'an, and instead of the bookish breath of the Li family, this guy is ...... How to say it, although the people of Guangling City said that he was a fool, but this person was indeed extremely ordinary, and now he was kicked out of his house and ended up in a dilapidated situation. ”

"That's really a mistake for Miss Shen. ”

Ning Chuchu didn't have much interest in this matter, so he didn't continue the topic.

She suddenly leaned over and said to Zhongli Ruoshui mysteriously: "I met a young man just now, and he casually matched your couplet, I think it's very good to listen to it, do you want to listen to it?"

"How's it going?"

"He was still handsome, the key is the temperament that he exudes...... How can I say that? At the age of seventeen or eighteen, there is a strong sense of seventy or eighty years old...... Well, it can't be said to be old, and it's a little incomprehensible. ”

"You can't see through it?"

"Well, I didn't see him through either. ”

"Okay, this kind of talent is interesting, how can he be like that kid of the Cheng family, superficial!

"Listen up!"

Ning Chuchu cleared his throat and recited the couplet very carefully:

"The eyes are narrow in the dusty world, and the chest is a bed wide for nothing. ”

"What do you think?"

Zhongli Ruoshui pondered for a moment, and his eyes lit up:

“...... As a guest, what about others?"
