I have an altar of luck

"Then the lady will go back and rest."

"okay."

……

……

Regarding the matter of Chen Yuan being a Marquis, in the next few days, it did not go as he had imagined. Instead, there was a strange and intensified trend.

It seemed that someone was deliberately trying to make Chen Yuan famous.

Even Chen Yuan, the person involved, felt a little strange.

The capital city is a small group of the most elite and powerful people in the Central Plains. It seems that there is no need to cause such a long period of turmoil if it is sealed as a Marquis?

The capital is huge, with a population of more than one million people, so many major events will happen every day, how can it be possible to keep an eye on this matter?

Chen Yuan gradually felt something was wrong.

Sure enough, within a few days, the direction in the capital began to change in a small range, talking about Chen Yuan's marriage, saying that he had achieved great success and it was time to get married.

In this ancient time, which was very similar to what he was familiar with, the age for men to marry was still very early, and poor families were often able to become fathers and mothers at the age of eleven or twelve.

High-ranking officials with better family backgrounds, or wealthy merchants will postpone their preparations until they are seventeen or eighteen years old.

But even so, it's almost too late to be in your twenties.

In many cases, not being married will give people a feeling of unreliability.

Among Jingtai's several adult princes, such as the eldest prince Sima Gan and the second prince Sima You, all of them have married noble women in the capital to become prince concubines.

People like Chen Yuan who are in their twenties and are still unmarried are a minority after all.

And this incident seems to have attracted the attention of many people, causing a small shock among the honorable class in the capital.

It has made countless noble ladies feel impatient, and their hearts belong to them.

There is no way, the main reason is that Chen Yuan is too good!

In less than [-] years, he has already become a world-renowned peerless genius, Huayang Daoist. No need to think about the future situation to know that his achievements will be extraordinary.

At the same time, he has repeatedly made great achievements, and was even favored by the emperor. He skipped Guannei Hou and was directly named Che Hou.

There is a great chance of being able to become a top existence comparable to Gu Tianqiong, the Duke of Wei, and Li Kuangxiu, the Grand Marshal of the State of Zhen.

The duke of [-] households in Shicheng, who is more surnamed than the king, bestows gold medals and holds a golden whip, is a terrifying existence that ordinary nobles cannot match. Such a character who is about to take off, naturally countless people want to climb on this chariot.

No one has mentioned it before, and someone has already thought about it.

Now that it has such a big impact, it is naturally even more exciting.

But here comes the question again, who in the capital can match such an outstanding person?

People who are not qualified enough are not even worthy of delusions.

It also made countless ladies from rich and noble families feel sad.

Chen Yuan put the conditions too high. Compared with Chen Yuan, those married officials and eunuchs in the capital are like a world and a world.

There is absolutely no comparison.

But Zhang Wanshu, who heard the news, was moved in her heart, and rushed to beg Zhang Yantong, hoping that he could test Chen Yuan's meaning.

If possible, let Zhang Xuan meet his brother-in-law.

They are very familiar with each other, and there must be nothing unfamiliar.

Zhang Yantong thought for a long time, and couldn't stand his daughter's pleading, so he nodded in agreement and told her to see Chen Yuan's attitude, because he had accepted the talisman before.

Of course, no matter what, he would not tear himself apart with Chen Yuan.

Today is different from the past. When Chen Yuan first entered the capital, he was only in the Void Core Realm. With his strength, it's okay to coerce and lure him.

The other party may also readily agree.

But Chen Yuan is now a Marquis of Ten Thousand Households, with Huayang cultivation, and a strong contender for the God Envoy of Tianzi. Except for his official position, he is one level above him, the rest are almost the same.

Stand on an equal level with him.

Can't threaten, can only persuade with good words.

For example, Zhang Xuan is a good friend of Chen Yuan, and he is very close to each other. He has also taken care of Chen Yuan many times. Although his daughter is not beautiful, she is also gentle and virtuous.

It's just right to be a big woman.

I can give him a lot of help.

He felt that the conditions here were quite attractive to Chen Yuan.

However, when he hesitated for a day or two, and was about to come to see Chen Yuan in person, a new rumor appeared, which made him calm down completely as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on him.

Because, that news is circulating.

The entire capital is worthy of the Marquis of Wu'an, but there is only one woman in the entire capital, who is both civil and military, has both ability and political integrity, and is deeply loved by the emperor.

It is the best match for Chen Yuan.

Yes, it is the eldest princess Pingyang!

Apart from this, there is no one in the capital city or even in the whole world who is worthy of a man like Chen Yuan.

If it was just a rumor, Zhang Yantong would not care about it. After all, there are too many rumors in the capital, and it is difficult to tell the truth from the false, but he just thought of the gust of wind that blew up before.

It seems to echo the present.

Moreover, the most important thing is that Zhang Yantong, a scheming old fox, sensed something was wrong, and the discussion of the nobles in the capital seemed a little abnormal.

It's like laying the groundwork step by step...

And who will be the one who paves the way for this?

Zhang Yantong quickly thought of an existence with an ugly face.

On the pilgrimage, Emperor Jingtai!

Only he has such means, and will use such means to win over a peerless genius like Chen Yuan.Thinking of Jingtai, Zhang Yantong couldn't help but think about Chen Yuan's appointment as Marquis.

Is Chehou, who has thousands of households in the city, really just to show the imperial court's recognition of his military achievements?

The wind in the capital was blowing faster and faster, and there was a tendency to start a prairie fire. Chen Yuan, who was always paying attention to this matter, naturally heard about it.

His face immediately became a little dignified.

He even directly turned down the banquets of several veteran nobles in the capital.

Now, I don't have that thought anymore.

What Zhang Yantong could think of, Chen Yuan, the authority, naturally felt something was wrong, as if a big hand was gradually enveloping him.

But what is the purpose?

Just getting married, it seems...it doesn't have any effect on me, right?

While Chen Yuan was thinking about this matter, the housekeeper who moved to Xinhou's Mansion stepped forward respectfully, and said something in his ear:

"Master Hou, the Fourth Highness has come down."

"Well, let him in."

Chen Yuan tapped his fingers on the table and said lightly.

The relationship between him and Sima Ke has spread all over the capital, so naturally there is no need to avoid suspicion. In fact, the other party does not come very often. Since the last meeting in the eldest prince's mansion, the other party has not revealed his whereabouts.

Chen Yuan was also happy to be quiet. After lending his reputation to the other party, he began to visit friends and win over relationships. Chen Yuan was not absent from the banquets held by several honorable figures with good reputations.

Although it's just sitting and sitting, as long as the attitude is there, it's fine.

Chen Yuan's former department in the Eastern Imperial City Division, Tao Qingyuan and others also came to the Marquis of Wu'an to congratulate him, and by the way, the relationship became closer and deeper.

He has become a thigh within the Sky Survey Division, and he is gradually becoming thicker, which naturally makes people want to work.

Langguan Guo Peng, Guo Zifeng, and Li Hongshuang, who lived only four words in her life, had all met Chen Yuan in these short few days, and they got close to each other.

Of course, the same is true for the eldest prince Sima Gan and the second prince Sima You.

Chen Yuan's support for Sima Ke was a foregone conclusion. It was inevitable, and it could only be gradually reduced. They did not show hostility, but were still persevering in wooing him.

Not long after, Sima Ke, who was wearing a light yellow robe with patterned python, walked up to him with a smile, looking quite proud of himself.

With Chen Yuan's almost obvious support, Sima Ke's power has skyrocketed. Although he is still far behind Sima Gan and Sima You, at least he has made a good start.

Many officials want to gamble again.

It also increased Sima Ke's power.

Under Chen Yuan's suggestion, Sima Ke threw away the arrogance he once had, and turned from external arrogance to internal arrogance. Even when facing ordinary people, he kept his etiquette and never bullied the people.

For those talented young officials, it is Li Xian Corporal.

And facing some old fritters in the court, he was calm and calm, and stopped making public.

Such a change brought him a lot of fame, maybe it was the transformation of the prodigal son, in short, it was not an obvious reputation, but because of his previous appearance, more people began to focus on him.

And these are all Chen Yuan's points. Therefore, although Sima Ke is not humble when facing Chen Yuan, he is also a little close to Yafu.

Respectful and polite!

"Brother Chen."

Sima Ke had a faint smile on his face and a gentle temperament.

I don't know, maybe they will really regard him as some kind of handsome young man.

"Come and sit."

Chen Yuan waved his hand.

"Thank you, Brother Chen."

Although he knew that the relationship between Chen Yuan and him was very complicated at the moment, Sima Ke decided to call him 'Brother Chen' after thinking about it, otherwise, it would always look awkward.

"Brother Chen, what happened to that...?"

Sima Ke lowered his voice and asked.

When Chen Yuan returned to the mansion that night, he reckoned that there must be some relationship, but these few days he was busy with other things and did not go to see the concubine mother, so he did not know the truth.

Seeing Chen Yuan at this moment, I always thought of asking subconsciously.

Chen Yuan looked at Sima Ke's curious and weird smile, pondered for a while, poured himself a cup of spiritual tea, and nodded after a while and said:

"good."

Sima Ke suddenly realized, and a smile flashed in his eyes.

As long as the planning is not in vain.

So from now on, they are allies on the same rope.

Not just friends, but fellow countrymen...

Moreover, looking at Chen Yuan's appearance, he seemed to be quite satisfied, which made him admire both the concubine's methods and Chen Yuan's methods.

"That's fine, that's fine..."

"If your Highness doesn't go to Lixian Corporal today, how can you come to the Marquis Mansion when you have time?" Chen Yuan smiled, and stopped talking on this topic, and went straight to the point.

Sima Ke's eyes flickered for a moment, but he still asked in a deep voice:

"Brother Chen, do you know the rumors outside?"

"What rumor?"

"It's just... there are rumors about Brother Chen's marriage."

"I've heard it a little bit, but it's just a rumor. Mr. Chen is devoted to Taoism, and now he has no intention of getting married." This is Chen Yuan's answer, and it is also a very serious answer.

He is a person who wants to rebel, and it is completely inappropriate for him to marry the eldest princess Pingyang.

With his status, he is completely worthy of Princess Pingyang, but he doesn't have this intention. She is a smart woman, and she is from the Sima family. Chen Yuan doesn't really want to get in touch with her too deeply.

After all, counting, Chen Yuan went not only to Sima Ke's hometown, but also happened to pass by the hometown of Princess Pingyang again and again.

"This...Brother Chen really doesn't think about it. Although Sister Huang has a cooler temper, she is definitely a rare woman in the world. I don't know how many young talents in the capital admire her on weekdays."

Sima Ke couldn't help but said.

"Are you entrusted by someone?"
