Guangling City is full of wind because of the peach blossoms.
There is no wind on the Huanhua River in Yujing City, Kyoto.
The sun is a little strong.
But the banyan trees on the bank of Huanhua Creek block out the sun, giving the world a sense of coolness.
Just under the banyan tree, in that pavilion, Zhongli Ruoshui and the fourth princess Ning Chuchu sat facing each other.
There was a box of Yunjinji pastries on the table, which were Zhongli Ruoshui's favorites. Originally Ning Chuchu thought that Zhongli Ruoshui would be delighted to eat it without image, but unexpectedly, Zhongli Ruoshui just took a look at it.
"Why? This spring has passed, could it be that you are still thinking about spring?"
Zhongli Ruoshui gave Ning Chuchu a supercilious look.
Suddenly, he lay down on the table very lazily, and looked at the Huanhuaxi that was like a mirror.
"According to the time, his peach blossom wine should be on the market."
"The Huo family... How can the Huo family make his peach blossom wine go on the market smoothly? The Huo family's idea must be to steal his way of making wine!"
Zhongli Ruoshui suddenly straightened up and looked at Ning Chuchu, "I said, if he showed the embroidered clothes envoy sign... would it work well in front of the Huo family?"
Ning Chuchu looked away, pondered for a moment, and did not try to deceive Zhongli Ruoshui.
"If the Huo family is upright, that brand will work well."
The implication of this is that if the Huo family adopts secret methods, such as using people in the world to rob, the brand will be useless.
Zhongli Ruoshui stared at Ning Chuchu, "It's all your fault!"
Ning Chuchu was taken aback, "Why are you still blaming me?"
"Your Li Jingsi, if there are many spies in Guangling City, is he afraid of the Huo family?"
Ning Chuchu choked, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and suddenly lowered her voice, "Didn't you know something these days?"
"I also hope that he can rebuild the Guangling Mirror Division... He could, but it just takes time... and he needs to win the battle against the Huo family."
"I said, doesn't the emperor like his wine very much? Let's go!"
Ning Chuchu raised her head, looked at Zhongli Ruoshui who stood up, and asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"
"Go to the palace and meet the emperor!"
"I want to ask the emperor to make a decree to include Li Lang's wine into the imperial merchants. In this way, even if the Huo family is given a hundred courage, he will not dare to do anything to Li Lang!"
Ning Chuchu laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"You, this is the fan of the authorities!"
"...how do I say this?"
"Have you ever wondered why Mrs. Fan called you to the capital?"
"Have you ever wondered why Zhongli Mansion has been standing by on this matter?"
"Besides, have you ever wondered why father agreed to Mrs. Fan's request...it was the matter between the second prince and you a few days ago?"
Zhong Li Ruoshui was startled, and sat down again, his beautiful brows frowned, "You mean...they all want to see how Li Lang breaks the situation?"
Ning Chuchu smiled sweetly.
"It's unimaginable that there are so many involved in this up and down."
"The huge temple is like this big banyan tree. It looks like there is only one trunk, but there are countless branches on it, and countless fibrous roots that cannot be seen underneath."
"Li Chen'an has nothing to do with this big banyan tree. He is an outsider. He didn't come into anyone's eyes, but ever since Mr. Hua brought his poems to the capital, his name...in fact, it came out at that time. In the eyes of many caring people in the temple."
"Of course, now it's just in their eyes, because he is too young, even if he is good at poetry, even his name Huapingchun has already been spread all over the capital, but these are all trails."
"So, when your grandma summoned you to the capital, Zhongli Mansion watched silently. Concubine Ji smiled slightly after hearing your mother's words, and Emperor Father only praised him after drinking his wine."
"His weight is not enough!"
"He needs to prove his ability, and the situation in Guangling City is the first test."
"If he can't even deal with a Huo family in Guangling City, if he needs external help to deal with a Huo family...then he is just a literati boy who can write a few good poems!"
"There are many young people like this in Ningguo."
"Don't you want him to be like Prime Minister Shang? Shang Cheng entered the capital at a young age, and the capital was turbulent. He single-handedly held all the turmoil in his hands... He opened a coffin shop in the capital. He deserves to be killed." , what should be cut, three hundred and twenty-eight coffins were used!"
"This is ability, this is courage!"
"Only in this way can he be worthy of being the son-in-law of Zhongli's mansion, and he is also qualified to stroll in the current wind and rain!"
Ning Chuchu's eloquent words revealed the essence of these things.
It was only then that Zhongli Ruoshui realized that grandma had such intentions.
It turned out that even his father and elder brother silently watched what Li Chenan did, and had no intention of extending a helping hand.
But this is not what Zhongli Ruoshui thinks!
"I never thought that he would be in the prime of life!"
"I just want him to be safe and sound, brewing wine by the Peach Blossom Creek, writing poems in Peach Blossom Villa, that's all!"
"You should know him well. Where does he have such lofty ideals?"
"He is just a casual person, otherwise how can he write that there is nothing wrong with his chest? How can he write that life is just like the wind before the wind,
Happiness is sporadic, sadness is also sporadic, and they all use words like Lian Jiang Diandianping? "
Ning Chuchu looked at Zhongli Ruoshui's tense appearance, and the corners of his mouth curled up, "If you still care about it, you will be in chaos!"
The smile on her face gradually subsided, she took a piece of horseshoe cake from the food box, removed the paper and handed it to Zhongli Ruoshui.
"If it was in a peaceful and prosperous age, of course there is no problem with your thoughts."
"But now... Yuwenfeng has established the Great Wilderness Kingdom, and the battle of Mobei is imminent. If a hundred thousand barren people leave Jiuyin City...if Xiahou Zhuo doesn't guard Yanyun Pass again... I'm afraid the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun It will fall!"
Ning Chuchu took a deep breath, "Now the situation is so bad, but there is no food and grass available for the intention to send troops to the DPRK, and finally a woman is needed to solve the matter... Let's not talk about it, the prince brother and the prince concubine will be together tomorrow night." There is a banquet in the East Palace to bid farewell to Princess Sulin, you must come."
"Hey, Princess Sulin is also suffering, but I really admire her. If the marriage with Mobei is reached, it can be regarded as a solution to the current crisis of Ningguo... at least it will give Ningguo some breathing room."
Zhong Liruo looked sad, sighed, and asked, "How could there be no food and grass available? Didn't the land in the south of the Yangtze River have a bumper harvest last year?"
"It's a bumper harvest, but... but when the grain was transported to the capital through the Yuguangda Canal, half of it was robbed by water bandits from Shuangjiao Lake!"
"...So this year's tax has increased by another 20%?"
"There is no way around it. Prime Minister Ji said that the whole country has been suffering for a while in the current situation."
"You should write a letter to your Li Lang. His wine... it's better to make less wine. After all, it consumes too much food. Don't make it an excuse for others."
"In addition, I got a piece of news."
"what news?"
Ning Chuchu showed another smile, "I heard... a few days ago, an elder guest from the Fish and Dragon Society nominated your Li Lang as the steward of the Fish and Dragon Society in Guangling City, and the Fish and Dragon Society agreed!"
"What do you think...will he help me, Li Jingsi? Or will he be inclined towards the Ichthyosaur Society?"
