Chapter 157 Under the Long Night Sky

This was Li Chenan's first night in Yujing City, Kyoto.

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

Afterwards, everyone also knew that Li Chenan had settled in Huaxi Bieyuan.

He did not enter the Dingguohou's Mansion, but the Huaxi Bieyuan is the private property of Miss Zhongli, so in the eyes of everyone in the capital, this means that the Dingguohou's Mansion has accepted Li Chen'an.

But at the same time, it seems that he doesn't like his identity as the Fish and Dragon Society, because the old lady of Dingguohou's Mansion didn't see Li Chenan.

Many people can't sleep this night.

For example, Li Wenhou, Minister of the Ministry of household affairs.

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

For example, the Taiyuan Academy is full of flowers.

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

and many more.

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

It's just that the look on his face is very heavy, even heavier than when the treasury was empty and the army had no food.

As for the fourth princess, she drank alone under the moonlight, and her mind was full of the scene when she first met Li Chenan in Huapingdong, Guangling on March [-]rd.

She suddenly drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and said unwillingly, "It's obvious that I knew him first!"

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

But Hua Manting was pleased.

I am gratified by Li Chenan's words at the south gate.

He even wrote down those words carefully, and felt that one of the sentences should be engraved on the stone tablet on the chosen day, and the stone tablet should be erected in front of the archway of the Taiyuan Academy, and this should be the only goal for the students of the world to study.

And in the courtyard of Huo's house in Kyoto, Huo Xi was sitting by the pond with his grandson Huo Shufan and granddaughter Huo Shuyi to enjoy the coolness.

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

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

Huo Xi took a puff of cigarette, turned his head to look at Huo Shuyi, he couldn't see the expression on Huo Shuyi's face against the light of the lantern, but Huo Shuyi lowered his head slightly at this moment, as if a little shy.

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

"He's an ambitious man!"

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

"At that time in Guangling City, when he built the winery by the Peach Blossom Creek and brewed Peach Blossom Noodles, Grandpa originally thought that he would use the support of Zhongli Mansion to drive away all the Huo family's Guanglingsan..."

"Actually, this is the normal way, so that Grandpa prepared another countermeasure at that time. If Li Chen'an cannot be defeated in Guangling, our Guangling San will have to find another way out."

"But he didn't do that. He didn't expand the winemaking workshop, but he kept a daily wine of three thousand catties, leaving a way out for our Guangling San..."

"This is the reason why Grandpa wants you to get to know him, and even get married, not because of his status as the master of fish and dragons."

"People, the most important thing is to know how to advance and retreat when you are young. This will save him many detours and allow him to get more help."

"In addition to his response at the south gate today...Grandpa thinks that is calmness, wisdom, and decisiveness!"

Horch took another puff of cigarette, leaned over to shake off the ash in the pipe, handed the pipe to the maid behind him, and took a sip of the tea on the table.

"Any other boy, facing tens of thousands of students, don't talk about walking with a sword, I'm afraid they will be too scared to get out of the carriage."

"But he did it. In the eyes of grandpa, no one can match this kind of courage, and in the eyes of grandpa, the on-the-spot response was also flawless... To make all the students ashamed by the invasion of barbarians, this is in the name of righteousness." To cover up his identity as the fish-dragon helm master."

"Then he uttered those deafening words... Those words were a reprimand to all the students, making it impossible for all the students to refute. He left calmly. Even if those students wake up, I am afraid it is more about thinking. The reasoning in his words will then find some excuses for him to join the Fish and Dragon Society and for him to kill Liu Zhuo."

"After all, a young man with such lofty thoughts should not have that dark side. If he becomes a role model for those students because of this, then the capital's reputation for him will change in the future."

"Look, how many youngsters can you find in Ningguo who can cover clouds with their hands and rain with their hands?"

Huo Shu also listened carefully, and the images from the time at the South Gate reappeared in his mind.

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

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

When grandpa came to the capital and mentioned Li Chenan, she was surprised at how much Li Chenan had changed.

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

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

His poems can be included in "Ning Poetry Collection Yuan Baipian"!
His wine can make all the wine in the world tasteless!
His courage made tens of thousands of teenagers shy away!
Courageous, resourceful, talented, and so handsome, this is of course the best choice for a future husband-in-law.

only……

"Grandpa, but the matter between him and Miss San should be true!"

This is of course true, otherwise the Marquis of Dingguo would never have dispatched a miraculous army to pick him up outside the city, and it would have been impossible for him to take a carriage with Miss San to Huaxi Bieyuan.

Huo Xi nodded, "When he was in Guangling City, this kid hid this matter very deeply. After the third lady came to the capital, Grandpa also made a misjudgment, but..."

"However, looking at this matter from another angle, if he really married Miss San, you, you would be regarded as a concubine...Grandpa thought that with your beauty and intelligence, even if you were a concubine, he would not be left out in the cold."

"Besides, if you work together with Miss San, then our Huo family has a relationship with Zhongli Mansion."

"This is beneficial to the Huo family and your father, but not harmful!"

Huo Shu also bowed his head again, of course he was unwilling.

His father is a close minister of the prince, and the Huo family is well-off. Although his appearance is not as good as Miss Zhongli's, there are many suitors in Yujing City.

In addition, I am proficient in all kinds of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, but under such conditions, I am a concubine...

"Grandpa, granddaughter is just now. Don't worry about this matter. Maybe you can wait and see what father thinks."

"Well, what you think is correct, but this is the opinion given to you by grandpa."

"After all, we have to see how Prime Minister Ji thinks of him, and how the Dingguohou's mansion will treat him..."

After saying this, Huo Xi turned his head to look at Huo Shufan, "Grandpa has reserved a table at Juxian Pavilion. In the evening of the day after tomorrow, you and Shuyi will go to the west gate of the palace to pick up the sixth princess. Grandpa will not go, so please take care of me." Good Sixth Princess, Xu Neng will get married this year, so as not to have long nights and dreams!"
