That night, Feng Shaojun's whisper came from the bedroom in the inner courtyard of Shen's house.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came in person and had to settle down well. Shen You specially gave up his study room and invited His Highness the Crown Prince to stay for a few days. His Royal Highness happily went to the study room to settle down.
Shen You was a little helpless: "Last night in the cavalry camp, he insisted on sleeping in my military tent. He talked to me a lot. Today he insisted on coming."
Therefore, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's intention is already obvious.
Even if biological brothers cannot recognize each other, they must still be close to each other.
Feng Shaojun was speechless, and after a while he sighed softly: "That's fine, it's just for these few days, so just deal with it carefully."
Isn’t this the only way to go? You’ve already come, how can you drive them away?
For public purposes, Zhu Yun is the crown prince of Da Qi. Treating a minister like this is both a favor and a show of goodwill. For private purposes, Zhu Yun is Shen You's elder brother. If someone comes to visit him in person, he must be treated well.
Shen You was silent for a moment, then opened his mouth to recount what the two of them had said last night.
After hearing this, Feng Shaojun also sighed with emotion: "Sure enough, there is no real secret in the world. In my opinion, it is not a matter of a day or two for His Highness the Crown Prince to know this secret. He came to the border army specifically for this purpose. You come."
Shen You remained silent, his eyes complicated.
Feng Shaojun stretched out his hand and stroked Shen You's subconsciously frowned brow: "No matter what, this is always a good thing for you. Moreover, His Highness acts in a very orderly manner. He also takes into account your situation and difficulties. He wants to get close to you. , you don’t have to reject people thousands of miles away.”
"Didn't His Highness say before that he would only stay for three days? You have the right to endure it for these three days!"
Shen You slowly exhaled: "I have thought about what you said. Don't worry, after so many years, I can bear it."
Feng Shaojun nodded, and suddenly laughed in a low voice: "The prince gave Shen Xuchen the jade pendant. I just took a look in private, and it was indeed specially prepared. There are names of their brothers and sisters on the back of the jade pendant."
Shen You's expression became complicated again.
People's hearts are made of flesh. Shen You looks majestic, cold and arrogant, but in fact his heart is much softer than Feng Shaojun's. Zhu Yun's thoughts touched him after all.
Feng Shaojun stopped clicking and quickly changed the topic: "His Highness will use our house to host a banquet for everyone in the general's office. This is a really large number of people, at least twenty seats will be set up. I have to prepare a banquet tomorrow. .Please stay with me for a while, His Highness."
Shen You nodded in agreement.
Early the next morning, Feng Shaojun summoned two cooks over, decided on the menu for the banquet, and immediately ordered the stewards to buy it. In addition, there was a shortage of manpower to serve the banquet, so he had to borrow some maids and servants from the homes of Shen Jia, Fang Peng, Cui Yuanhan and others. Everything was complicated. To name a few.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was at ease. Accompanied by Shen You, he left the Shen residence and wandered around Jiangjunfang for half a day. There were now more than forty households in Jiangjunfang, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince had all arrived.
Zhu Yun was very interested and called Shen You again. He rode out of Jiangjunfang and walked around the border town. That night he had dinner at the most famous mutton shop in the border town.
Shen You accompanied him throughout the whole process. Also accompanying him were Shen Jia Fangpeng and Cui Yuanhan who had returned from the army.
Zhu Yun deliberately pretended to be a rich man, but his aura of nobility could not be concealed. The shopkeeper of the mutton shop was bright-eyed and came to serve him in person with trepidation.
Shen You glanced at him and said casually: "You don't need to serve me here, please step aside first!"
The shopkeeper thanked him and excused himself, and wiped the sweat from his forehead when he went out.
"The mutton in the city here tastes delicious." His Royal Highness was full of praise as he ate the roasted leg of lamb and drank the delicious mutton soup.
Shen You hummed.
Shen Jia had already answered the question with a smile: "That's right! Beef and mutton are cheap here, but vegetables are very expensive. We have been here for eight years, and we are almost tired of eating beef and mutton. Even people like me who love meat are... Looking forward to eating more vegetables.”
Zhu Yun burst into laughter and asked Cui Yuanhan casually: "Can the soldiers in the military camp eat beef and mutton on weekdays?"
Cui Yuanhan was in charge of logistics and military supplies, and he was also responsible for the purchase of food in the military camp. Hearing this, he replied with a smile: "The food of the soldiers in the cavalry camp is always good. They eat meat once every two days. They are full of rice soup and steamed buns in the morning and evening." "
This kind of military food is not only good, but also excellent.
Fang Peng interrupted with a smile: "The most rare thing is that the food in our cavalry battalion is good and we don't spend too much on military expenses. This is all the credit of Cui Military Quarters."
Being in charge of military supplies and logistics has always been a good and lucrative job. Cui Yuanhan has been in charge of military supplies these years. He has never been greedy and worked hard, and has an excellent reputation in the border army.
Shen You also rarely opened his mouth to praise: "The cavalry battalion is what it is today, and Cui Junzong should have a share of the credit."
Cui Yuanhan said hurriedly: "If you continue to praise me like this, I will hide my face in shame and leave. I am deeply favored by the emperor and am an official as a merchant. How can I not do my job with all my heart? I really dare not Take credit and be proud of yourself.”
Zhu Yun laughed and raised his glass happily: "As an official of the imperial court, if you can do your job with all your heart, you are worthy of the court. Come and drink this cup together."
…
Another day passed.
His Royal Highness the Prince used the Shen residence to host a banquet for a group of former emperor's personal guards and their families, which showed his closeness. Everyone came to the banquet happily.
Among the twenty seats, there were ten seats for men and ten seats for women. Boys over eight years old also went to the men's side. The younger ones followed their mothers and sat on the women's side.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came alone, and the female family members were still led by Feng Shaojun.
All the female relatives were familiar with each other, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, it was lively and fun.
Lei Xiaoxue smiled in a low voice and said to Feng Shaojun: "Today's banquet was treated to us by His Highness the Crown Prince. His Highness just opened his mouth, but you were the one who really worked hard to prepare the banquet. You have worked really hard these past two days. Come on, I respect you. One cup.”
Among the female relatives, Lei Xiaoxue was the most skilled and the best drinker. She raised her glass, raised her head and drank it down in one gulp, very neatly.
Feng Shaojun drank a glass of wine with a smile, and joked a few words: "Sister-in-law three has a chance to show off her drinking ability today. After a round of drinking, everyone has a toast, which is enough."
Lei Xiaoxue smiled and glared at Feng Shaojun: "You came to set me up again. I just got drunk once in a while and let you see it. Now I go around claiming that I love drinking. Listen, is this what a sister-in-law should say?"
Feng Shaojun immediately admitted his mistake and said with a very sincere attitude: "Sister-in-law Three is right, I really shouldn't say more. Come on, come on, I'll give Sister-in-law Three another drink. I won't go home until I'm drunk today."
Lei Xiaoxue was finally satisfied. After drinking this glass of wine, he toasted one by one and drank a circle.
