When heading to Zhengde Hall, Li Linfu said worriedly:
"Shishi, there are many rules in this palace, it's not like home.
When you get there, be careful and be harmonious in everything you do."
Although the Longxi Li family is not afraid of trouble, they do not want to take the initiative to cause trouble.
Li Shishi held a pipa in her hand, nodded obediently, and said:
"Please rest assured, uncle. My family has already given us instructions before we came to Xianyang."
People generally say that the Qin Dynasty was a country where the emperor and the aristocratic families jointly ruled the world.
There is nothing wrong with this.
Although the aristocratic families do not have an army, they have the ability to form one.
It also has a great influence among the people.
But no matter what, this is Xianyang City.
How many dignitaries are there?
If Li Shishi offended someone, that person would not be able to threaten the Li family.
However, it will definitely cause some trouble to the Li family.
This is a situation that no one wants to see.
Therefore, before Li Shishi came to Xianyang, the Li family had already taught her enough rules.
At this moment, Li Linfu saw a slightly old figure from afar.
He hurried forward, bowed, and said, "This humble official greets Prime Minister Cai. This is my niece, Li Shishi."
Hearing this, Li Shishi bowed and said, "I greet Mr. Cai.
"I have often heard of Mr. Cai's great name in Longxi, and seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is truly well-deserved."
Although Cai Jing did not come from a prominent family, his influence in Daqin is now one of the most influential.
Faced with such an important figure, Li Shishi naturally had to treat him with courtesy.
Cai Jing stroked his beard and smiled, "Miss Li, you are so kind.
The girl next to me is my niece, Cai Yan, also known by her courtesy name Wenji."
As soon as she finished speaking, Cai Wenji bowed and said, "Greetings, Mr. Li, and Miss Li."
"Sister is Cai Wenji?"
Li Shishi said in surprise.
Who among the noble families in the Qin Dynasty doesn’t know Cai Wenji?
A talented woman in the south.
Especially the "Eighteen Beats of the Hujia", which is hailed as one of the ten famous songs of the Qin Dynasty.
When talking about Cai Wenji, the first word that comes to their mind is "talented woman".
Qingzhao in the north and Wenji in the south are both famous throughout the Qin Dynasty.
It has to be said that Cai Wenji's appearance exudes a scholarly air.
In contrast, Li Shishi just has the feeling of a beautiful girl from a small family.
However, both of them are rare and peerless beauties in the world.
However, compared with Daji, she is inferior in both temperament and appearance.
"Is there another Cai Wenji in this world?"
Cai Wenji covered her mouth and smiled.
Li Shishi said frankly, "I've only heard of you from others before, but I never thought I'd have the chance to meet you today."
Cai Wenji held her delicate hand affectionately and said, "We will have plenty of opportunities to meet in the future."
As their elder, he was quite happy to see the two girls able to chat together.
Li Linfu suddenly remembered something and asked in surprise, "Could this be Mr. Cai's daughter?"
Cai Jing nodded and said, "That's right."
Li Linfu said seriously, "No wonder it smells like books. I wonder if your father has been in good health lately?"
Cai Wenji's father was Cai Yong.
He was a great scholar of his generation.
It is rumored that when Cai Yong was young, he once visited the State of Qi and saw the place where a hundred schools of thought contended with each other - the Jixia Academy.
He even practiced in seclusion in the academy for a period of time.
Therefore, Cai Yong became a great scholar of his time.
Now, in the court, except for Cai Jing and Qin Hui, anyone who sees Cai Yong must respectfully address him as "Sir".
Interestingly, Cai Yong once taught Ying Yuan how to read.
At that time, the former was almost fainted by the latter.
From then on, Cai Yong left Xianyang City on the grounds that he was not talented enough and could not teach Ying Yuan to become a successful person.
I just didn't expect that so many years would pass.
He had never set foot in Xianyang, but he actually brought his daughter to Xianyang.
"In reply to Uncle Li, my father is in good health."
Cai Wenji said gracefully.
Li Linfu nodded and said with a smile, "It's getting late, so we should get these two girls to Zhengde Hall as soon as possible.
It’s always more comfortable to be with those young people than with us elders.”
When Li Shishi and Cai Wenji arrived at Zhengde Hall.
Li Linfu briefly introduced to them several young people who were worthy of attention.
Those are either descendants of meritorious service or the offspring of kings, princes, generals and ministers.
It can be said that all the rich young men in Xianyang City have gathered here.
The two of them chose to take a short rest in a pavilion.
At this time, many young people had already approached them to chat.
However, they were both rejected by her.
At this time, Cai Wenji heard that several people were talking loudly under the osmanthus tree outside the pavilion.
Even the content of the discussion involved His Majesty the Emperor.
Cai Wenji heard it clearly:
"In my opinion, this national war must be fought. If we don't, our Qin State will always be looked down upon by the Chu people."
“During the truce some time ago, I saw several Chu people in Xianyang City.
Their arrogant and domineering appearances are still vivid in my memory."
"There are many people in the court who advocate peace. In the end, if it weren't for His Majesty's strong opposition, I'm afraid our Great Qin would have had to endure it in silence."
"Yes, I used to think that our emperor was a tyrant... Today, I know that I was totally wrong..."
