Chapter 101: Bank of Huanhua Stream
Guangling City has a wind full of the city because of peach blossoms.
There is no trace of wind on the banks of Huanhua Stream in Yujing, Kyoto.
The sun is a bit brighter.
But the banyan trees by Huanhua Creek cover the sky and the sun, giving this world a cool feeling.
Just under the banyan tree and in the pavilion, Zhongli Ruoshui and the fourth princess Ning Chuchu were sitting opposite each other.
There was a box of Yunjinji pastries on the table, all of which Zhongli Ruoshui liked. Originally, Ning Chuchu thought Zhongli Ruoshui would be happy and eat without any image, but she didn't expect that Zhongli Ruoshui only took a look.
"What? This spring has passed. Could it be that you are still thinking about spring?"
Zhongli Ruoshui rolled his eyes to Ning Chuchu.
Suddenly, he lay lazily on the table, and his eyes looked at the Huanhua Creek, which was like a mirror.
"Based on time, his peach blossom wine has been on the market."
"The Huo family... How can the Huo family make his peach blossom wine go on the market smoothly? The Huo family must have a plan to steal his winemaking method!"
Zhongli Ruoshui suddenly straightened his waist and looked at Ning Chuchu, "I said, if he showed the embroidered clothes brand...will it work well in front of the Huo family?"
Ning Chuchu looked away and pondered for a moment, without cheating Zhongli Ruoshui.
"If the Huo family is prosperous, then the brand is very useful."
What this implies is that if the Huo family uses secret measures, such as using people from the world to grab it, then the brand will be useless.
Zhongli Ruoshui's gaze froze, and she glared at Ning Chuchu, "It's all your fault!"
Ning Chuchu was stunned, "Why did you blame me?"
"If you Li Jingsi, if there are many spies in Guangling City, will he be afraid of the Huo family?"
Ning Chuchu choked, swallowed, and her voice suddenly lowered, "Didn't you know something about these days?"
"I also hope that he can rebuild Guangling Lijingsi... He could have done so, but it just takes time... and he also needs to win this battle against the Huo family."
"I said, don't the emperor like his wine very much? Let's go!"
Ning Chuchu looked up, looked at Zhongli Ruoshui who had stood up, and asked in surprise: "Where to go?"
"Go to the palace and see the emperor!"
"I want to ask the emperor to issue an order to include Li Lang's wine in the imperial merchants. In this way, even if he gives the Huo family a hundred courages, he would not dare to do anything to Li Lang!"
Ning Chuchu laughed.
"why are you laughing?"
"You, this is the mystery of the authorities!"
“…How do you say this?”
"Have you ever wondered why Mrs. Fan wanted to call you to Kyoto?"
"Have you ever wondered why Zhongli Mansion has been standing idly by in this matter?"
"In addition, have you ever wondered why the father agreed to Mrs. Fan's request... It was the second prince and you a few days ago?"
Zhongli Ruoshui was stunned and sat down again, frowned, "What do you mean... they all want Li Lang to break the deadlock?"
Ning Chuchu smiled sweetly.
"There are so many involvements in the court, you can't imagine."
"The big temple is like this big banyan tree. There is only one trunk when it goes up, but there are countless branches on it and countless fibrous roots below it."
"Li Chenan has nothing to do with this big banyan tree. He is an outsider. He did not enter anyone's eyes at first, but since Mr. Hua brought his poems to Kyoto, his name... actually fell into the eyes of many people in the temple at that time."
"Of course, now it only falls into their eyes, because he is too young, even if his poems are great, even if his name Huapingchun has already spread throughout Kyoto, but these are all paths."
"So, your grandmother summoned you to Kyoto, Zhongli's mansion was silent. Concubine Ji smiled slightly after hearing your mother's words. After drinking his wine, the father only praised him."
"He's not enough!"
"He needs to prove his ability, and the Guangling City Bureau 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 such young men in Ningguo."
"Don't you hope he is like Prime Minister Shang? Shang Cheng has been in Kyoto for quite some time, and the wind and clouds are surging. He held all the wind and clouds in his hand with one hand... He opened a coffin shop in Kyoto, killing what should be killed and killing what should be killed, and killing what should be killed, and using 328 coffins!"
"This is ability, this is courage!"
"Only in this way, he can be regarded as the son-in-law of Zhongli's mansion and be qualified to wander around in the current storm!"
Ning Chuchu's words revealed the essence of these things.
Only then did Zhongli Ruoshui realize that grandma was thinking about this.
It turned out that even my father and brother were silently treating what Li Chenan did and did not mean to lend a helping hand.
But this is not what she, Zhongli Ruoshui, thought!
"I never thought he would be a general and a minister!"
"I just thought about his peace and safety, brewing wine by the Taohua Creek, writing poetry at Taohua Villa, that's all!"
"You should know him, how could he have such tall ideals?"
"He is just a casual person, otherwise how can he write that there is nothing wrong with his heart? How can he write that life is just like a catkin before the wind,
There are also scattered joys and scattered so many words, and they all make words like Lianjiang Diandianping?"
Ning Chuchu's lips curled up as Zhongli Ruoshui's nervous look: "You are still concerned about it, but you will be confused!"
The smile on her face slowly subsided. She took a piece of horseshoe cake from the food box, removed the paper and handed it to Zhongli Ruoshui.
"If it is in a peaceful and prosperous era, of course there is no problem with your thoughts."
"But now... Yuwen Feng has established a Great Wilderness Kingdom, and the battle in Mobei is about to begin. If 100,000 people from the desert leave Jiuyin City... If Xiahou Zhuo did not defend Yanyun Pass again... I am afraid that the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun would fall here!"
Ning Chuchu took a deep breath, "The situation is so bad now, but the court intends to send troops but there is no food or grass for it. In the end, a woman has to solve the problem... Not to mention this, tomorrow night, the prince's brother and the princess will hold a banquet in the East Palace to say goodbye to Princess Sulin, you must come."
"Oh, Princess Sulin has a miserable life, but I really admire her. If it is reached with Mobei, it will be considered as a relief to Ningguo's current danger... at least it will give Ningguo some chance to breathe."
Zhongli Ruo's face was sad, and he sighed and asked, "How could there be no food or grass available? Didn't the Jiangnan land be harvested last year?"
"It's a bumper harvest, but... when the grain was transported to Kyoto through the Yuguang Grand Canal, it was half of the robbers from Shuangjiao Lake!"
“…so the tax this year has increased by 20%?”
"This is impossible, Prime Minister Ji said that in the current situation, the whole country will have a hard life for a while."
"You should write a letter to your Li Lang. His wine... would be better to brew less. After all, it consumes too much food, so don't become an excuse for others."
"In addition, I got a message."
"What news?"
Ning Chuchu smiled again, "I heard... a few days ago, a guest elder of the Yulong Society nominated you, Li Lang, as the leader of the Yulong Society branch of the Guangling City Yulong Society, and Yulong Society agreed!".
"You said...will he help me, Li Jingsi? Or would he be inclined to Ichthyoclase?"
