Chapter 157: The Long Night Sky

This was the first night that Li Chenan arrived in Jade Capital, Kyoto.

By this evening, what Li Chenan said about what he did at the south gate had spread throughout Yujing City.

After that, everyone knew that Li Chenan had settled in Huaxi Courtyard.

He did not enter the Dingguo Hou Mansion, but the Huaxi Villa was the private property of Miss Zhongli, so in the eyes of everyone in Kyoto, this meant that the Dingguo Hou Mansion had accepted Li Chenan.

But at the same time, he didn't seem to like his status as a member of the Fish and Dragon Society, because the old lady from the Dingguo Marquis Mansion didn't meet Li Chenan.

Many people can't sleep this night.

For example, Li Wenhou, Minister of the Ministry of Revenue.

For example, the fourth princess in the palace, Ning Chuchu.

For example, the Taiyuan Academy is full of flowers.

Another example is the Huo family who bought property in Kyoto.

etc.

Everyone has different reasons for being unable to sleep. Li Wenhou drank tea in the courtyard until the tea was bland and tasteless, and he did not say a word to his wife.

But the look on his face was very heavy, even heavier than when the treasury was empty and the army had no food.

As for the fourth princess, she was drinking alone under the moonlight, and her mind was filled with the scene when she first met Li Chenan in Pingtung in Guangling on March 3rd.

She suddenly drank all the wine in the glass in one gulp, pouted her mouth and said unwillingly: "I was obviously the first to know him!"

After a moment, she sighed again, lying on the table, looking at the dark pond in the distance, her mind a little confused.

Hua Man Ting was delighted.

I was pleased with Li Chenan's words at the south gate.

He even carefully wrote down those words, and felt that he should carve one of them on a stone tablet some day, and the stone tablet should be erected in front of the archway of Taiyuan University, as the only goal for students all over the world to study.

In the courtyard of the Huo family in Kyoto, Huo Xi was sitting by the pond enjoying the cool air with his grandson Huo Shufan and granddaughter Huo Shuyi.

He held the cigarette rod in his left hand, and behind him stood a maid fanning him.

"Shu Yi, you also took a look at him among the crowd at the south gate today."

Huo Xi took a puff of cigarette and turned to look at Huo Shuyi. Under the light of the lantern, it was hard to see the expression on Huo Shuyi's face, but Huo Shuyi lowered his head slightly at this moment, as if he was a little shy.

"Li Chenan's past has become the past. Grandpa thought there was no need to explore it anymore. The important thing is that he is now... If he can say those words, you should know that his profound knowledge is not fake!"

"He is an ambitious man!"

"At the same time, he is also a person who understands the world!"

"At that time in Guangling City, when he built the winery by the Peach Blossom Stream and brewed the Peach Blossom Brew, grandpa originally thought that he would use the backing of Zhongli Mansion to drive out all the Guangling San from our Huo family..."

"Actually, this is the normal approach, so much so that grandpa prepared another backup plan at that time. If we can't defeat Li Chenan in Guangling, our Guangling San will have to find another way out."

"But he didn't do that. He didn't expand the brewing workshop, so he maintained a daily production of three thousand kilograms of wine, leaving a way for our Guangling Powder to survive..."

"This is the reason why grandpa hopes you can get to know him or even marry him, not because of his status as the helmsman of the Fish and Dragon Society."

"The most important thing for a person is to know how to advance and retreat when he is young. This will save him from many detours and will also allow him to get more help."

"Coupled with his response at the south gate today... Grandpa thinks that is calmness, wisdom, and decisiveness!"

Huo Xi took another puff of cigarette, leaned over to shake off the ash from the pot, handed the cigarette stem to the maid behind him, picked up the tea on the table and took a sip.

"If it were any other young man, facing tens of thousands of students, let alone walking with a sword, he would be too frightened to get out of the carriage."

"But he did it. This courage is unparalleled in Grandpa's opinion, and his on-the-spot response is also flawless in Grandpa's opinion... He used the invasion of the deserters to shame all the students. This is in the name of righteousness.

He came to cover up his identity as the helmsman of the Fish and Dragon Society."

"Then he said those shocking words... Those words were a rebuke to all the students, leaving them with no way to argue. He left calmly. Even if those students woke up, they would probably be thinking more.

The truth in his words will then help him join the Fish and Dragon Society and find some excuses for him to kill Liu Zuo."

"After all, a young man with such lofty ideas shouldn't have that dark side. If he becomes a role model for those students, then Kyoto's reputation for him will change direction."

"Look, how many young men can you find in Ningguo who can turn their hands into clouds and rain?"

Huo Shuyi listened carefully, and the scenes from the time at Nanmen came to mind again.

The man was wearing a green suit and walking with a sword, and his impassioned appearance appeared more vividly in her mind.

Of course she had heard the name Li Chenan when she was in Guangling City.

When her grandfather came to Kyoto and mentioned Li Chenan, she was surprised in her heart, surprised at how much Li Chenan had changed.

At the same time, she also resisted because the image of the fool in Guangling was deeply ingrained in her mind.

But now she realizes that she is really a frog in the well, and realizes that Li Chenan is no longer the Li Chenan she knew in the past.

His poems can be included in "Ning Shi Ci Yuan 100 Chapters"!

His wine can make all the wine in the world tasteless!

His boldness made tens of thousands of young people shy away from him!

Courageous, resourceful, talented, and so handsome, he is certainly the best choice for his future husband.

only……

"Grandpa, what happened between him and the third lady should be true!"

This is of course true, otherwise the Marquis Dingguo Mansion would never have sent the Divine Artifact Army to pick him up outside the city, nor would he have taken the same carriage to the Huaxi Villa with the Third Miss.

Huo Xi nodded, "When we were in Guangling City, this boy hid this matter very deeply. When the third lady came to Kyoto, grandpa also misjudged it, but..."

"But let's look at this from another angle. If he really gets married to the third lady, you, even if you are a concubine... Grandpa thinks that with your beauty and intelligence, you won't be left out by him even if you are a concubine."

"In addition, if you and the third lady work together, then our Huo family will have a relationship with the Zhongli Mansion."

"This will be of great benefit to the Huo family and your father!"

Huo Shuyi lowered his head again, naturally unwilling to do so.

Her father is a close minister of the prince, and the Huo family is well off. Although she is not as good as Miss Zhongli, she still has many suitors in the Jade City.

In addition, I am proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, but under such conditions, I am a concubine...

"Grandpa, my granddaughter is just getting hairpins now. We are not in a hurry about this matter. We may wait and see what father thinks."

"Well, you are right, but this is the advice grandpa gave you."

"After all, we still have to see what Prime Minister Ji thinks of him, and we also have to see how Dingguo Houfu will treat him later..."

Saying this, Huo Xi turned to look at Huo Shufan, "Grandpa has reserved a table at Juxian Pavilion. The day after tomorrow in the evening, you and Shu will go to the west gate of the palace to pick up the Sixth Princess. Grandpa will not go, so she can wait on you."
