Zhong Lisu's hand holding the tea cup suddenly trembled, and he looked at Rong Yiyin again.

"Ruo Hua is only six years old!"

"My mother gave the female sword of Fujiken to Ruohua because she thought that with Ruohua's talent, she might be able to break the current constraints of martial arts, and she might be able to create a brand new swordsmanship!

"

He put down the teacup and said, "Don't think about it all day long!"

"Even if Ruoshui...is really destined to be like that, Li Chenan will not treat our Zhongli Mansion badly."

Rong Yiyin curled her lips and whispered: "A cow that is not tied by a rope may run away to someone else's house at any time!"

"Don't talk nonsense, Chen'an and the others are here soon."

…

…

Li Chenan and his party arrived outside Peach Blossom Villa.

They got off the carriage and stood by the Peach Blossom River.

The sky is blue.

Snowy.

sunny.

Peach Blossom Creek no longer has the sound of gurgling water

It's frozen.

Those workshops by the Peach Blossom River are still there.

The people in the workshop are still there.

It's just that the Chinese New Year has come, and the workers inside have already taken vacation. Some people have gone home, and some homeless people have stayed here.

There is still a faint aroma of wine floating in the sweet air.

The fire in the blacksmith's shop must have been extinguished because not a trace of smoke drifted from the chimney.

Huang Sanlie was standing at the end of the path in Peach Blossom Villa, looking at Li Chenan with a smile.

He did not salute.

In his eyes, Li Chenan is not a regent.

Li Chenan is still the young man who chatted with him here.

Li Chenan looked at Huang Sanlie and also laughed.

"Old Huang, I've been waiting for a long time!"

"That's not true. Mr. Li, everyone, please come with me."

The group of people followed Huang Sanlie and walked towards Peach Blossom Villa.

Xiao Baozi looked around, and a strange feeling arose in his heart——

Jianwu said that Peach Blossom Villa is owned by Zhongli Ruoshui.

Jianwu also said that Li Chenan often came to Peach Blossom Villa when he was in Guangling City.

The peach blossoms were in season at that time.

It's spring.

A picture appeared in Xiao Baozi's mind.

The spring breeze warms the sun, and there are thousands of peach blossoms.

Zhongli Ruoshui and Li Chenan were walking in this peach forest. There was no one around and the grass was green... there were spring flowers and grass, so the cow put its mouth to it.

Then of course there was a few bites of grass!

Did this guy and Zhongli Ruoshui do anything?

You have to ask the fourth princess Ning Chuchu about this matter.

It's just that Ning Chuchu didn't know where she ran.

While Xiao Baozi was letting his thoughts fly, Huang Sanlie and Li Chenan were walking and chatting.

"The winery in Shuzhou has been built and the first batch of wine has been sold. The response has been excellent!"

"The winery is built in a villa outside Chongzhou Mansion. It is the property of Zhongli Mansion, and the people who use it are all domestic slaves of Zhongli Mansion. There is no need to worry about the recipe being leaked."

"According to the owner's wishes, you invented this wine after all. You account for 70% of the profits, and Zhongli Mansion accounts for 30%."

"What is being introduced to the market now is peach blossom wine. The owner said that Huapingchun will wait a little longer."

"The other thing is this method of making steel..."

Huang Sanlie stopped and turned to look at Li Chenan.

Li Chenan also stopped, but Xiao Baozi didn't stop. She was still thinking about that cow in spring, and she hit Li Chenan on the back with a "bang...!"

Not very powerful.

Li Chenan took a step forward and turned around. Xiao Baozi pursed his lips, looking innocent.

Huang Sanlie did not ask who this girl was because her identity had already been spread to Guangling City.

He looked at Xiao Baozi and said to Li Chenan:

"The head of the family has some ideas about the method of steel forging... After all, the Zhongli Mansion is a military family. Not to mention the men who serve in the court, the soldiers that the Zhongli Mansion has recruited in Shuzhou over the years are also not worth mentioning.

A small amount."

"The situation in Shuzhou is more complicated."

"On the one hand, there is the threat from the Uighurs. On the other hand, Shuzhou is mountainous, mostly big mountains. There are many mountain kings in the mountains, including bandits and many chieftain tribes."

"The troops originally stationed by the imperial court in Shuzhou have long existed in name only, and now Shuzhou's defense almost relies on the private soldiers of Zhongli Mansion."

Li Chenan already understood what Huang Sanlie meant.

"I thought that the Hundred Refining Method had been spread to Shuzhou, so I would give my uncle some reassurance after a while."

Huang Sanlie nodded slightly and stepped forward again.

"You are the regent of our Ning Kingdom."

"I think you already know everything about Ningguo's national conditions."

"Now that Ning State is facing enemies from all directions, Shuzhou can no longer be in chaos. If Shuzhou is in chaos, the imperial court will have no troops to send to Shuzhou."

"With Zhongli Mansion watching over you, firstly you can feel at ease, and secondly... you can spare more energy to deal with other things."

Li Chenan deeply agrees with this.

The two of them were chatting like this, and unknowingly they walked into the depths of the peach forest and saw the courtyards scattered among the peach trees.

Huang Sanlie led them to the pavilion, and Zhong Lizu had already stood up to greet them.

"uncle!"

"...nephew!"

This is no longer the relationship between the regent and his ministers.

This is the relationship between uncle and nephew.

So whether it is etiquette or communication, there is no need to be so formal.

So Zhonglisu gave up inviting Li Chenan to sit in the study.

"The warm sunshine in winter gives this place a wide view and nice scenery... In the past, when Ruoshui was at home, every time it cleared up after the snow, she liked to sit here, make a fire, make tea, and watch the snow."

"How about we just sit here and drink tea and chat?"

"Of course."

"My dear nephew, please take a seat. Everyone, please take a seat."

"Thank you uncle!"

Li Chenan sat next to Zhong Lisu, and Xiao Baozi sat next to Li Chenan.

Amu and Wang Zhenghaoxuan did not sit down.

They stood on the left and right sides of the pavilion like two knives.

Xiao Wu didn't sit down either.

He looked at Li Chenan and pointed outside. Li Chenan nodded and walked into the peach forest carrying his medicine box.

The peach trees were bare, and the branches were covered with snow and only snow.

Xiao Wu is not admiring the snow in the forest.

He is looking for Zhongli Ruoshui's footsteps to stay here.
