Chapter 176 Visit (Please give me a monthly ticket at the end of the month!)
Right Prime Minister's Mansion.
Changping Jun was the son of King Kaolie of Chu, but he had never lived in Chu for even a day. However, his mansion was different from others.
In addition to the common characteristics of most of the mansions of high-ranking officials in the Qin State: grandeur and grandeur, Changping Jun also arranged small bridges and flowing water in the mansion, adding a touch of elegance and making it the residence of the female members of the mansion.
At Tianxuan's command, the servants quickly prepared the carriage, carrying Tianxuan and the Great Siming who was pulled into the carriage by him, to the outside of Changping Jun's magnificent and solemn mansion not far from Zhangtai Palace. The horse's hooves landed on the bluestone floor in front of the mansion gate, making a crisp sound, which startled the servants guarding the door.
"who?"
Tianxuan, who was still holding the blood-red jade right hand of the Great God of Destiny, noticed that the carriage had stopped. He stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, and heard a shout in his ears. He looked closely and saw more than a dozen capable and strong men surrounding his carriage. Although, these people were not wearing armor, and they were holding sticks and other things in their hands.
However, Tianxuan, who was already considered a brave general, saw at a glance that these people would have great talents if they were on the battlefield. Judging from the limited experience, the power of this old fox, Changping Jun Xiong Qi, was far greater than others imagined.
"Tian Xuanzi is here to visit, please let everyone know."
Facing the two pairs of wary eyes, Tianxuan smiled slightly and went straight to the point.
Swish!
When the name "Tian Xuan Zi" came to their ears, the tense expressions of the Xiangfu people all relaxed. "Changping Jun intends to recruit Tian Xuan Zi as a son-in-law." Even the Great God of Destiny knew this news, and it was no secret to the servants in his house. Now, Tian Xuan took the initiative to come to the door. In the eyes of these people, it was clear that the son-in-law wanted to discuss the marriage with his master.
"Please wait a moment, General Tian. I will pass the message right away."
As the atmosphere eased, a man's face lit up with a warm expression and he quickly ran towards the mansion.
"Tian Xuanzi, what exactly do you want to do?"
After asking someone to pass the message, Tianxuan took Dasi Ming's hand and jumped out of the slightly crowded carriage.
When he was taken out of the carriage by Tianxuan, Da Siming was still confused. He blinked his beautiful gem-like eyes, shook his arm, motioning Tianxuan to let go, and asked in confusion.
"Da Siming, what do I want to do?" Having come here, Da Siming could no longer leave. Tianxuan saw that Da Siming's fair and delicate face was blushing, so he obediently let go of her soft hand and said faintly, "You will know soon!"
"The Great God of Destiny?"
"I heard that although this general is young, he is a typical smart kid. After seeing him today, I found that his reputation is well-deserved!"
"You came to discuss marriage with my young lady and brought a woman with you. This is really too much!"
……
Mi Lian was kindhearted by nature. Many servants who made mistakes were saved because of her pleading. Most of the servants in the Xiangfu liked this young lady very much. Seeing that Tianxuan was not alone, he also brought the Yin-Yang School's Great Siming. Both of them looked at Tianxuan and the Great Siming with anger.
In an instant, Da Siming, who was in the afterglow of the setting sun, felt as if he was being stared at by a dozen vicious wolves, and he couldn't help swallowing his saliva.
…………
"Master, Tian Xuanzi is here to visit."
The servant who went to report the news met the right prime minister of Qin, Changping Jun Xiong Qi, who was reading a book in the study, and reported the news to him.
"That's a bit polite."
With Changping Jun's status and power, Tianxuan's arrival in the city was known to this old fox the moment he entered. Upon learning that Tianxuan was coming to visit so soon, Changping Jun's dark eyebrows flashed with color, and he threw the book in his hand on the desk and said casually, "Bring Tianxuanzi to the hall."
"Here."
At the same time, on the other side.
"Miss!"
"Miss!"
"Miss!"
……
A little girl wearing a water green long skirt and a chicken-leg-shaped bun on her head, with a pretty and cute face, ran into the attic where Mi Lian lived at the speed of the wind, calling out repeatedly, with a hint of urgency in her heart.
"Xiaolian, what's wrong?"
As the sun set, candles were lit in the elegant and quiet three-story attic where Mi Lian lived, located among the flowers. The warm light dispelled the darkness. When the little maid ran into the attic, Mi Lian was sitting under the lamp, holding the embroidery needle with her slender jade fingers, embroidering fabrics.
Under the light, one can see that what appears on the snow-white silk is a picture of mandarin ducks playing in the water.
As the saying goes, every daughter has spring in her heart. Mi Lian grew up in the pampering of her father Changping Jun and uncle Changwen Jun, and lived a life no less comfortable than that of a real princess. However, as she grew older, Mi Lian inevitably began to yearn for what kind of person her future husband would be like.
Ever since Changping Jun expressed his intention to recruit Tianxuan, who was from the Taoist Tianzong and was a rising star in the Qin army despite his young age, as his son-in-law, Mi Lian began to pay attention to him and ordered people to collect information about Tianxuan. To this day, even though Mi Lian and Tianxuan have not actually met, Mi Lian still began to look forward to marrying him and living a happy life with him in harmony...
Xiaolian's rapid cry caused the embroidery needle in Mi Lian's hand to deviate, piercing her jade finger, and a drop of crystal blood oozed out. The stinging pain from her fingertips made Mi Lian frown and she scolded unhappily.
"Miss, I'm sorry."
Xiaolian came to Mi Lian and saw that her daughter had pricked her finger, so she quickly apologized. Then, she took out a white handkerchief from her bosom and wrapped it around the daughter's jade finger to stop the bleeding for Mi Lian.
"Miss," Xiaolian was beaming with joy again after doing this, "I heard from Xiaoming and the others that General Tianxuanzi is here! It seems that he heard the news that the master wanted to recruit him as a son-in-law as soon as he got home, so he came to discuss the marriage with the master!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Upon hearing the news brought by Xiaolian, Mi Lian's pretty face suddenly turned red, shyness flowing in her watery almond eyes. She scolded with a smile, and tapped Xiaolian's forehead with a white and tender jade finger, "Dad is just interested, it's not certain whether General Tian will agree!"
Xiaolian was not afraid of Mi Lian, "Miss, I don't believe that Tianxuanzi would be unwilling to marry you." At this point, Xiaolian's pair of dark eyes turned, "Miss, why don't we go and take a look?"
"this?"
In this world, the barriers between men and women are not as strict as those in the Ming and Qing dynasties, and women will not be criticized for being out in public. However, when Mi Lian thought about meeting a foreign man, even if he was her future husband, she was still shy and her face was filled with a dazzling blush.
"Miss, we are just hiding and taking a peek. It will be fine as long as we are not discovered by the master and his family!" Xiaolian saw Mi Lian's intention and said while the iron was hot, "Besides, if we don't go and take a look, what if Tian Xuanzi is not worthy of you, young lady?"
"Stop talking nonsense. Tian Xuanzi is a rising star in the Qin military, how could he not be worthy of me!" Although she was scolding, Mi Lian's delicate body seemed to have no bones. She was pulled up by Xiao Lian and walked out.
