Chapter 32 Star Palace, Chen Palace(1/2)
Li Tianming saw Yandu again.
This is a hot city, and even the walls seem to be burning red by the scorching sun. From a distance, it looks like a red boiler, steaming hot.
In my impression, Yan is the most prosperous city.
This place brings together the famous families of the entire Zhuque Kingdom, and gathers the wealth, strong people, geniuses and resources of the whole country. It is the dream place of young people in Zhuque Kingdom.
Four years ago, Li Tianming came to Yandu with a lofty dream, passed the palace examination and entered the Yanhuang Academy to practice, and everything was booming.
Four years later, he made a comeback, and the meaning of life was completely different.
When I saw Yandu again, my mood was naturally different, and this time I brought my mother with me.
Wei Jing pulled the roller shutter in the carriage.
Her eyes were like water, and her eyes looked at Yandu were completely different from Li Tianming.
So far, Li Tianming doesn't know what kind of story there is between her and Yandu, but he knows that Wei Jing has always been from Yandu before she got married to Li Yanfeng.
Her childhood was tied to this hot flame.
At this moment, her eyes were like water, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, but her eyes were moist, like water mist.
It can be seen that twenty years later, when she returns to this hometown where she gave birth to her, she must have had many ups and downs in her heart.
And those waves were hidden in the smile at the corner of the mouth.
Her silver hair was flying in the air. Even though she looked very old, in the smile and the flying long hair, Li Tianming suddenly imagined her youth.
I think that must be an enviable and lively woman, as beautiful as Jiang Feiling and Princess Qing.
"Time and illness are so cruel." Li Tianming buried this sentence in his heart and did not say it out.
He smiled and stared at his mother and asked, "How is it? Is there any feeling that things are different and people are gone, and tears are shed first if you want to speak?"
"Naughty, your mother is not a sentimental person. I just miss Yandu's pastries, mung bean cake, osmanthus cake, and crabapple cake. The taste is so good." It can be seen that she is already salivating.
Once upon a time, she was also a girl who was happily walking around the streets with delicious food in her hand.
"Don't worry, when your son has money, you will definitely be able to eat enough."
"From the future, we will settle our home in Yandu. I will serve you very much and bring you delicious pastries every day." Li Tianming said.
"Luck, don't break your promise. If you dare to forget, I won't let you go home." Wei Jing said with a stern face.
"Cruel woman." Li Tianming shook his head and said.
"Beat you!"
Sure enough, after leaving Lihuo City, you never have to see that man again. Happiness is that simple.
"However, we came to Yandu empty-handedly, where can we have a place to stay?"
This is a problem that Li Tianming urgently needs to solve. If he comes alone, he will have a place to live after entering the Yanhuang Academy.
However, her mother cannot enter the Yanhuang Academy, she needs to have her own home.
"I'll do this. Mom still had many friends in Yandu back then." Wei Jing said with a smile.
It seems that she has already made plans.
"But, the sisters haven't met for twenty years, and they all live better than me."
No matter how free and easy a person is, he will be lost at this time.
We were together in the past, but in the future we all had our own family and our own life.
After entering Yandu, Li Tianming drove the carriage and followed Wei Jing's guidance toward the western district of Yandu. The western district was the free land of Yandu, with prosperous trade and mixed fish and dragons.
Yan is very big, and I really have to walk around, and I can’t finish it for days or nights.
"Do you know the location of 'Chen Palace'?" Wei Jing asked.
"Of course I know that Xing Mansion and Chen Palace are the most luxurious and glorious mansions in the western part of Yandu. If I hadn't respected the Suzaku Royal Family, these two mansions might have been built more luxurious than the imperial city."
Li Tianming has been in Yandu for a year and knows the streets of Yandu well.
The reason why these two mansions are so luxurious is mainly because they are rich.
This is the residence of the two presidents of the "Star Chamber of Commerce".
The Star Chamber of Commerce is the largest business alliance in the Vermillion Bird Kingdom, and controls the country's economic lifeline. Countless branches are open all over the cities of all sizes, and Lihuo City also has its branches.
As the saying goes, there is only insufficient money and nothing that cannot be bought in the Star Chamber of Commerce.
The two presidents of the Star Chamber of Commerce are legendary figures of the Vermillion Bird Kingdom.
They are civilian geniuses and started from scratch together. They were known as the "Star Gemini" more than 20 years ago, and are now respected as the "Star Gemini".
The two of them opened the Star Chamber of Commerce all over the country in just twenty years, and had wealth that was as rich as a country, making the Star Chamber of Commerce, which had only a history of twenty years, the latest emerging force in the Suzaku Kingdom.
Even, it is capable of competing with many old-fashioned families with thousands of years of history, such as Lei Zun Mansion.
Xingfu and Chen Palace are the residences of Xingsheng and Chensheng respectively. Over the years, they have received countless upper-class people.
However, that is not a place that ordinary people can enter. Anyway, Li Tianming has never been close to him.
"What are you doing in Chen Palace? Could it be that you know the people from Chen Palace?" Li Tianming asked curiously.
"There was a good sister who married into Chen Palace." Wei Jing said.
Perhaps she was about to meet her friend whom she hadn't seen for twenty years, and she felt a little nervous and nervous. After all, she is now seriously ill and has a dead end.
Soon after, a mansion shining with stars appeared before them.
This mansion is like a small city, located in the most prosperous place in Yandu, surrounded by many famous families.
Chen Palace is like stars holding the moon, magnificent and elegant, and many sculptures and reliefs are very stylish. The dazzling starlight is enough to make ordinary people feel ashamed of themselves and dare not get close to them.
Away from the gate of Chen Palace, there are guards with high cultivation, guarding with ferocious companion beasts.
Seeing the adult lion and tiger crawling on the ground, even if they were napping, it was very deterrent to the people around them.
Li Tianming came by driving a carriage. This carriage was Li Yanfeng's carriage, so it was luxurious enough, so the guard at the door agreed that the carriage should be a character.
So, they were quite polite and asked: "You are going to visit Chengong? Is there an invitation?"
"I'm sorry to tell your wife Xue Lan, and I'll tell you that your old friend Wei Jing, please see you." She gently opened the roller blind and said softly.
"Madam? Our wife usually doesn't see regular guests. Please do not make things difficult for us." The guard said seriously.
"Please just tell me your name, it's trouble. If there is no response, I will naturally leave." Wei Jing said very politely.
The guard was not sure, after all, the old man in front of him was an old man, and maybe he might be some elder of his wife. To be safe, they would report it to it.
The waiting time is a bit long. After all, Chen Palace is too big, so it will naturally take time to report to the wife.
"Mom, does this lady have a high status in Chen Palace?" Li Tianming asked curiously.
"Of course I'm taller. She is Chen Sheng's wife." Wei Jing smiled.
"Damn?" Li Tianming was shocked. He had to look at Wei Jing with confusion.
Her former friend actually had the existence of the noble Madam Chen Sheng, which means that her status in Yandu would not be low.
Chen Sheng is now a storied figure in the entire Zhuque Kingdom, and his status is comparable to that of the ministers in the Zhuque Kingdom's court.
Li Yanfeng can't even get in touch with such a person.
When Li Tianming was still a little suspicious, news had already come out. The guard hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My wife, please see me. The wife is in the 'Xuechen Pavilion' arrangement. Please get off the carriage and go in with the villain."
Wei Jing was inconvenient to walk, so Li Tianming helped her into Chen Palace.
After coming in, Li Tianming realized how luxurious this Chen Palace was. There were jewelry and glass everywhere, five steps and one floor, ten steps and one pavilion, with flowers blooming and beautiful.
Compared with this Chen Palace, the lord's mansion in Lihuo City can only be called a humble room.
It seems that this woman named Xue Lan is also an extraordinary person to be able to become a mistress in such a Chen Palace.
Li Tianming must be calmer, otherwise he will be too much like a country bumpkin entering the city.
However, one of the former sisters now has no title or place to settle down, but the other is the mistress of Chen Palace, the wife of Chen Sheng.
Life experiences are really sad. Life is so painful.
But Wei Jing's face was calm, as if she was not jealous of her sisters, but was deeply happy about her.
The journey to Xuechen Pavilion is a bit long, and a martial arts performance venue was passed by.
The martial arts venue was particularly lively at this time, and many young girls from the Star Chamber of Commerce were having trials.
In each Yanhuang Academy Palace Examination, there are many disciples of the Xingchen Chamber of Commerce who can enter the Yanhuang Academy to practice. Today's drill is probably for the final preparation.
After all, three days later, it will be the day for the official palace examination.
Li Tianming noticed that there was a 15 or 16-year-old boy in the martial arts field very dazzling.
The young man was slender and handsome, wearing a blue drill suit, his long hair was neatly combed and meticulously. The most dazzling part of his body was his eyes.
The eyes are as bright as stars, crystal clear as gems and jade.
Even if Li Tianming was separated by Xu Yuan, he could see the light of these eyes.
This is definitely a child of a big family. The innate crystal clear feeling is not something that ordinary marginal children can compare.
