Li Chenan was slightly startled, then took the letter and opened it.

There is only one line on the letter paper:

"At noon, in Tongshun Alley, the House of the Secretary of the Ministry of Revenue."

The calligraphy is quite beautiful.

But there was no signature, the words were blunt, and he simply said the time and place...

Li Chenan raised his eyebrows, this second uncle really didn't like him very much.

I originally planned to visit my second uncle, not to hug the thigh of the Secretary of the Ministry of Finance, but just to say hello to him on behalf of my father, just by the way.

After all, you can't write two characters "Li" in one stroke.

Unexpectedly, he actually sent someone to deliver such a note today. Since he didn’t want to see it, why did he need to see it?

I looked up at the sky and saw that it was not far from noon.

Zhongli Ruoshui went to Dingguohou's Mansion. She said that she didn't have to wait for her to attend the banquet at Chengguo's Mansion in the evening, so she would stay in Dingguohou's Mansion for a long time today.

If you have nothing to do, let's go to the House of Secretary of the Ministry of Finance.

Logically, he couldn't go to his second uncle's house empty-handed, but Li Chenan thought about it again and realized that he really didn't spend a single penny to buy a gift, so he left Amu in another courtyard and called An Zizai to drive the carriage.

, the two of them headed towards Tongshun Alley.

The curtains of the carriage carriage were open.

An Zizi was swaying in front of him, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment.

Li Chenan poked his head around and realized that he had been in Kyoto for more than ten days, but he had not yet visited the streets and alleys of Kyoto.

It is impossible to walk around the streets of Kyoto in this life.

I have no regrets about this, but I am looking forward to returning to Guangling City and then to Shuzhou.

"Uncle An,"

"Um?"

"When Ruoshui and I return to Guangling, how about you come with us?"

An Zizi was stunned for a moment, then turned to Li Chenan, "That's what the old lady wants... I'm just a veteran, why would I go with you to Guangling City?"

Li Chenan grinned, "I have some new recruits."

An Zizai was startled again and looked forward, only then did he realize that Li Chenan had actually raised some soldiers in Guangling City.

It's a pity that he didn't ask Li Chenan how many recruits he had.

He thought this was the intention of Zhongli Mansion in Guangling City, and secretly prepared another group of soldiers with Li Chenan's help. Of course, the number would not be small.

This is a good thing!

He has already been branded as the Dingguo Houfu. Under the current situation, the stronger the power of the Dingguohoufu, the safer the future will be.

Since I have nothing to do now, it would be best if I could really go to Guangling City to train those new recruits.

So, he added another sentence: "I guess the old lady will want to see you during the Mid-Autumn Festival. My stay or leave... all depends on the old lady's words."

Li Chenan was overjoyed. After returning to Guangling City, the Li family army would reintegrate.

Li Xiaohua only has 120 men at his disposal, and he plans to recruit the female disciples from Wanxi Zhai into the army, because there is no hope for the Lijing Division.

In addition, there are hundreds of gangsters recruited by Ye Po!

These people are not easy to tame, at least Li Xiaohua can't control them, but with An Zizuo it's different.

Besides, Xiong Da and other former veterans are also planning to join the Li family's army. They were originally An Zizi's subordinates, and with An Zizi leading them, they would not be dissatisfied.

It is easy to get a thousand armies but hard to find a general!

An Zizui is the best general available. With him in charge of the army, he will have a lot less things to do.

Although he is a little fatter, he is still very experienced and skilled!

"Then you have to be prepared. The old lady... I will convince her!"

An Zizai nodded. He didn't know how Li Chenan could convince Mrs. Fan. This was not important. What was important was that she had work to do!

I seem to be able to lose weight.

…

…

It is a bit far from Huaxi Villa to Tongshun Alley.

It has to pass through five streets and alleys, including Wenchang Alley.

The Wentan Temple and Wenchang Temple are located on the east side of Wenchang Alley, backed by the Yudai River.

Diagonally opposite Wenchang Temple is Taiyuan University, the highest institution of learning in Ningguo!

When the carriage passed by Wenchang Alley, Li Chenan carefully looked at the place where the literary world was located, and then looked at the Imperial College on the other side.

Brother Hua Man Ting Hua is here. Now that Liu Zuo's matter has been settled, he has also left the Fish and Dragon Society. When he comes back from Shangshu Mansion later, he should stop by him.

With this thought in mind, the carriage arrived in front of the House of Secretary of the Ministry of Finance in Tongshun Alley.

Li Chenan got off the carriage and entered the vermilion door of the House of Lords.

There are two stone lions in front of the door. They are not too big, but they look a bit majestic.

What is written on the lintel of this door is not the five characters "Hubu Shangshufu", but the two characters "Li Fu".

He walked up, stood in front of the door, and knocked on the door knocker.

After about ten breaths, the door opened with a creak, and the head of a young boy in green clothes poked out of the door.

"Who is the young master?"

"Li Chenan!"

The boy was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Chenan carefully, opened the door, and bowed: "Sir, please come in!"

There was no such bloody thing as the evil slave not being able to afford the poor boy. On the contrary, the boy was very respectful.

"Thank you, little brother!"

The young man in green clothes was stunned again, and the smile on his face became even stronger, "Young Master, you're welcome!"

Li Chenan stepped into the door. The young man in green clothes closed the door and walked in front of Li Chenan: "Sir, please follow me."

The two of them walked on the bluestone path of Li's Mansion one after another. Li Chenan came around. It seemed that Li's Mansion was not too big, at least the front garden was not as wide as the Li's Mansion in Guangling City.

The house was also very quiet, I don't know whether it was because there were not many servants or because it was already noon.

However, the flowers and plants in the yard are neatly trimmed. Compared with the old Yulou in Shangdi, it is a world of difference.

After walking all the way, passing through two moon gates and walking through three corridors, the young man in green clothes took Li Chenan to the backyard.

"Master is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you!"

"This is what a villain should do!"

Li Chen installed the ajar door in the west wing of the backyard, raised his hand, pushed it open, and walked in.

This is an antique study room.

What he saw was a figure sitting at a desk.

The man did not turn around when he heard the door opening. He seemed to be writing something, and he also said one word:

"sit!"

Not much emotion.

It can't be said to be cold or joyful.

Li Chenan didn't take it seriously. He sat in front of the tea table, took out the fire stick and lit the tea stove on the table.

He just made a pot of tea!

It took half a cup of tea before Li Wenhou put down the pen in his hand, turned around and was slightly stunned, but didn't say anything.

He came and sat down opposite Li Chenan.

Li Chenan raised his head and glanced at him.

He is indeed his father's brother.

The face is thin, and the expression between the eyebrows and eyes are somewhat similar.

Li Wenhou also looked at Li Chenan, and his expression was not happy because he saw his nephew. Li Chenan even felt that there was a trace of displeasure hidden in his eyes, or...disgust!

How much hatred and hatred is this?

He still doesn't know about the grudge between the three brothers of the Li family, but now the grudge is indeed quite deep, as deep as it is deep, and it has nothing to do with him.

Therefore, Li Chenan continued to make tea calmly.

He didn't speak.

Li Wenhou made tea for him, but Xu couldn't hold it in anymore. He finally said just four words:

"You shouldn't have come!"
Chapter completed!
