0373: The Topic Center Of The Imperial Capital.
White snow fell on the streets of the imperial capital, big and small, and on the roofs of houses, all covered in white as far as the eye could see.
At eleven o'clock in the morning, a luxurious carriage was heading towards the Xili District, and there were four members of Powell's family sitting in the carriage.
The First Marquis of Powell lived in a manor outside the city, and yesterday he received an invitation letter from Qiao Ji, inviting his family to visit the courtyard of Xili District.
Melissa lifted the curtain of the carriage, frowned and looked outside, and said helplessly, "The city still looks so bad.
She is the wife of the first Marquess of Powell, and even wearing a thick fur cloak can hardly conceal her ladylike temperament.
What Melissa doesn't understand is that Qiao Ji is obviously a hero in the imperial capital, but the place he lives in can be better.
"Mother, didn't Lord Yinji get his first victory in Pingdingshan Fortress? Why don't you live in the manor?" Fohai doesn't like the outer city.
The main reason is that the roads in the outer city are very muddy, and the horse-drawn carriage will bump so much that it makes people want to vomit.
Fo Hai is the youngest son of the Marquis of Powell. He is ten years old this year, and his chubby face looks extremely cute.
The reason why he followed was because Qiao Ji won the first victory in the 137 Pingdingshan Fortress Battle.
Coupled with all the previous deeds, Fohai was looking forward to meeting this hero, and he pestered his parents to come to Xili District as a guest.
Is the most beautiful boy in the imperial capital really as handsome as the rumors say? Zeniya looked out the window silently.
She was the fifteen-year-old eldest daughter of the Marquess of Powell, a slim girl who wondered if the unfortunate rumors were true.
After all, it has already spread in the circle of noble ladies that Qiao Ji, the third-class Marquis, is handsome and strong, and most importantly, he is good at making money.
You know, most of the noble girls' tea parties are about hot topics recently, and it is clear that Qiao Ji has become the center of the topic.
"Everyone's choice is different. When the meeting comes, you must remember the etiquette." Marquis Powell's deep voice sounded.
He doesn't care about who lives in which place, but only cares about why Qiao Ji invited him to be a guest today. The two are not familiar with each other and have never talked face to face.
"Yes." The two nodded obediently.
"Tap Tat..." (bheh)
The carriage of Marquis Powell's family stopped outside the courtyard, followed by the accompanying knights and maids.
Fo Hai couldn't wait to get out of the carriage, raised his immature face to look at the courtyard, and said in surprise, "No wonder Marquis Qiao Ji wants to live here."
He has never seen such a building before. The combination of gray stone brick walls and blue tiles is very artistic, and the building gate is not the same as the castle gate of Marquis Powell's house.
Melissa got out of the carriage right after her, took the hand of her youngest son with one hand and exclaimed, "This is where Marquis Qiao Ji lives..."
Marquis Powell and Zeniya also stepped out of the carriage, and the family of four looked at Qiao Ji's courtyard gate like this.
As the knight knocked on the door and Xue Nai came out to greet him, the four members of Marquis Powell's family were invited to the courtyard.
Several people were amazed along the way, and they were fascinated by the pavilions, pavilions, waterside promenades and rockery lakes in the courtyard.
"If I lived in such a place, I wouldn't have to go out every day." Fohai looked around like a kitten.
If he hadn't been held tightly by his mother, he would have touched all the decorations in the courtyard.
Now Fohai understands that it is not living in the castle that has the most face, but being able to live in this courtyard is the real face.
"It turned out that the Marquis Qiao Ji bought this land...to build such a courtyard." Marquis Powell said belatedly.
At that time, he only heard other nobles talking about that Da Ji, who had just been promoted to earl, bought a piece of land in the outer city at a high price.
At that time, the Marquis of Powell still didn't understand it, but now it seems that he fully understands it.
"Better than our castle." Melissa didn't hesitate to praise herself.
"So he lives in such a place..." Zeniya scanned the surrounding environment and muttered to herself.
"Tat Tat Tat...
Xue Nai brought Marquis Powell's family into the restaurant, and Qiao Ji stood up to greet her.
"Marquis Qiao Ji." Marquis Powell greeted him politely.
"Take a seat quickly, isn't it snowing heavily outside?" Qiao Ji said gently.
Marquis Powell waved his hand with a smile, and joked, "It's always like this in winter. If there wasn't such a big snowstorm, I wouldn't be used to it."
"Drink some wine to warm yourself up." Qiao Ji smiled slightly.
At this time, several charcoal basins have already been placed in the restaurant, and as long as you stay for a while, you will feel warm.
"The courtyard where Marquis Qiao Ji lives is really nice." Marquis Powell said with a smile while holding a glass of warm wine.
"That's right, the place where Lord Marquis lives is magnificent." Fo Hai waved his hands excitedly and said.
He is also very curious about the furnishings in the restaurant, and he can see things that he has never seen before.
He really... really looks good. Zhi Niya was attracted by Qiao Ji's appearance.
Her moist eyes peeked at Qiao Ji from time to time, and the occasional eye contact made the girl's heart beat faster.
Zeniya didn't care about what those noble ladies said at first, but felt that the original words were exaggerated by rumors.
How could someone be young, make money, be handsome, and lead an army to fight? This is perfect, right?
However, Zeniya now felt that those words were not exaggerated at all, and she didn't even fully express the merits of Marquis Qiao Ji.
Fifteen-year-old girls, most of them are at the beginning of love at this age, they will naturally feel shy when they see Qiao Ji's appearance.
"Fohai." Melissa called her son softly, glaring at him to indicate that there must be no lack of etiquette.
"It made Marquis Qiao Ji laugh, a bit naughty." Marquis Powell said slightly apologetically.
"It's okay." Qiao Ji smiled and waved her hand to express her indifference.
Marquis Powell smiled relaxedly and asked, "I don't know why Marquis Qiao Ji suddenly invited me?"
In fact, he was a little surprised when he received the invitation letter from Qiao Ji yesterday, because his family has never participated in any camp struggle, that is, the so-called neutral faction.
If Powell hadn't known that Qiao Ji had offended the two princes and didn't belong to any faction for the time being, he wouldn't have accepted the invitation either.
