Chapter 168: Take the lead in attacking
Speaking of Duke Chen's mansion, it was once a famous aristocratic family in the capital. It was already there when Daliang was founded. At its peak, it was with the Shen family, the rich family, and competed with each other.
But now the Shen family is a royal relative, but the descendants are still abundant. They are so prosperous in the court that they are vaguely more prosperous than when they started. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are at their peak.
Looking at the Li family in Duke Chen’s Mansion, the family has withered. In this generation, there are only a handful of children who can be watched, and only one title in Duke’s Mansion is supported.
If you count carefully, there is no one in the Chi family in high positions. The previous generation has two Jinshi, and this generation is about to take the spring exam. If Chi Ying and Chi Yan were in high school, that four Jinshi would be barely called a scholarly school.
It’s just that because the Chi family started out by coronership, the name of the corpse-cutting is too famous and lacks foundation, so it is not seen by others, so it is not revealed and people are ignored.
The Chi family and Duke Chen’s mansion are completely complementary, and it’s not a big mistake for the old lady to invite someone to do it, and they finally got together such a marriage.
The Duke Chen's mansion is located in the north of the capital, not far from the imperial palace. The ten consecutive alleys live in the nearby neighborhood, all of whom were the lords and heroes who were enfeoffed in the palace when the founding of the country.
Chi Shi rode a big horse, half a horse from today's protagonist Chi Yan. Afar, you can see the red lantern hanging in front of Duke Chen's mansion, and the two eye-catching stone lions were also surrounded by festive red flowers.
The servant guarding the door hurriedly sang when he saw the carriage and horses, "Yongzhou Chi Yalang Chi Yan came to hire us girls!"
Chi Shi looked at it and stuffed a small piece of plum meat into his mouth, and his eyes narrowed sorely, "Brother, get off the horse quickly, the girl is still waiting. I heard early in the morning that the girl from the Li family is the most gentle and virtuous, as delicate as a peony, and can't be waited for a long time."
Chi Yan's face darkened. When he turned his head and looked at Chi, he covered his neck with a clue.
"Today is a happy day. Brother should smile more, just like this!" Chi Shi rarely smiled. She grinned and showed her eight neatly tidy teeth.
If ordinary people do this, they are laughing happily, but Chi Shimu's face is doing this, as if an old wolf showed his sharp teeth and was about to swallow the lamb immediately.
Chi Yan was shocked. When he came to his senses, he had already turned over and got off the horse. He imitated Chi Shi and kept a smile showing his eight teeth and entered the Duke Chen Mansion.
Chi Shi raised his chin, closed his teeth and jumped down. Seeing this, the housekeeper of Duke Chen's mansion showed a gratitude smile to her. Chi Yan was so murderous that he seemed to be trying to steal a bride, but he was not very bright.
"This young master is the famous Chi Junji in the capital. I looked unhappy when Mr. Chi Ba seemed to be unhappy, but what happened?" The butler saw Chi Shi, walked over, hurriedly followed, and approached and asked.
Chi Shi's eyes moved and he waved his hand, "It's okay, there are always a few days every month."
The housekeeper was stunned. Before she could come back to her senses, Chi Shi had already rushed in with Chi Yan strides. Just kidding, she left the male lead, how could she watch the fun?
The Duke Chen Mansion covers a large area, and as soon as you enter the door, you will feel the tune of the Jiangnan water town. The long corridor is full of twists and turns. When you walk on the road, you can't see where the Chi family's betrothal gift is at. It's quite heroic.
The Li family and his group had been waiting in the main courtyard for a long time.
Chi Yan's face obviously improved a lot as he walked along the way. He saluted directly to Duke Chen and Duke Chen's wife sitting on the main seat, and followed the process he had practiced in advance and started to hire him.
"Halang's gift, please sit and have a tea quickly." The Duke of the Kingdom was born with a big face. If he wrote a letter of linguistic characters on it, it would be a standard mahjong. Looking at the betrothal gift list given by the Chi family, she couldn't stop smiling.
Chi Shi thought, and looked at Duke Chen next to him again. He was a thin old man with a weak aura. When he saw that he had no place to speak at home.
"I heard that there was a pair of flawless jade Ruyi in the Chi family's betrothal gift. Why did you see that the white wall is flawless or red? Why? Is the Chi family humiliating me Li Wan?"
The atmosphere in the hall was just right. Chi Yan saw that his future father-in-law and mother-in-law were very satisfied with him. His expression became much better. He seemed to be normal and he became free to chat and laugh. However, the good times did not last long. Before he could say a few words on the scene, he was interrupted by someone.
Mrs. Chen's wife's face changed, and everyone in the room looked towards the door.
I saw three women standing at the door, standing in the middle, wearing a cardamom green skirt, with white fox fur around her neck, and a small face and apricot eyes. Anyone who saw it would say a beauty, it was Li Wan.
The person standing on her left was wearing a woman's bun and wearing a palace outfit, looking quite rich. Chi Shi's eyes moved. Although no one introduced them, this should be Li Zhen, the sister of Li Wan, who sat on the county princess.
Looking further to the right, Chi Shi was also stunned. The girl was dressed in goose yellow, her little face seemed to have just peeled off an egg. Her nose bridge was high and her eyes were big, and her black eyes looked like a longan eye core, which looked very beautiful.
Especially if a pair of hands becomes a skeleton, he will definitely be the top leader of the skeleton world.
Feeling Chi Shi's gaze, the girl looked over, nodded slightly at her, smiled, revealing two dimples.
"Wan'er, why are you here? How can you be so kind of so many guests here? Zhen'er, you let her mess around. Miss Zhao Wu is a distinguished guest, you actually brought her here! Go back quickly!"
Li Wan didn't listen and walked in with a jade Ruyi in one hand. Seeing that Duke Chen's mansion was twisting her, he hurriedly asked the woman to close the door and sent her eldest son out to stabilize the guests.
"My dear daughter of the Duke's Mansion, married to the Chi family, was all because of the noble character of Hachiro. I thought the Chi family valued me very much, so I specially invited Lanting to watch the ceremony. Now Japan came to Chu to ask her to enjoy the snow, but I refused for me.
But I never expected that she would see such an indecent thing!"
"Look at my father and mother, do the red color on the white jade look like red bloodshot? How can I live in the world when the Chi family treats me like this?"
Chi Shi raised his eyebrows, and it turned out that the good hand bone was named Zhao Lanting.
The girl Zhao obviously didn't expect that she would be pushed out. She blushed and took Li Wan's arm, "There are many guests today. Wan'er, you should be calm. You should be explained. You and I are like sisters, and I see it without any obstacle."
"But those outside..."
When Duke Chen heard this, he nodded quickly, "That's right! What's going on?"
Chi Shi was watching the excitement when he saw Chi Yan and Chi Bainan looking at him in unison, waiting for him to speak.
