Chen Xi didn't know when yesterday's banquet ended, because it was already noon when he woke up, and the people sleeping next to him were Guan Yu and Yu Jin.
"Get up, get up, what happened last night? How could I sleep with you? This is my home!" Chen Xi kicked Yu Jin with a bit of a scolding tone.
"Water, water, water, give me some water." Yu Jin said drowsily. He fell asleep face down. He probably had a painful face, but the internal energy left his body and resisted the beating, so it was no problem.
"Bring some water!" Chen Xi greeted outside the door, but when an unknown maid came in, Chen Xi was stunned.
"Wait, who are you!" Chen Xi looked at the maid with a confused look on her face. Does my family have this maid? Ah, no, this beam doesn't look like it belongs to my family. Whose family am I in now?
"Reporting to Marquis Chen, you are in Changle Palace now." The palace maid said to Chen Xi very carefully.
When Chen Xi heard this, his mind was broken for a few seconds, and then he connected again, "What, why am I in Changle Palace!"
In fact, Chen Xi is really in Changle Palace. Fortunately, there are no people living in Changle Palace now. Otherwise, Chen Xi will be recorded in the history books as staying in the harem overnight, causing harm to the concubines. However, if there are no concubines these days, then it will be fine. He will just drink too much.
Yes, we went to the wrong place.
"Your Highness, several princes have woken up." After Chen Xi and others woke up, the palace maid hurriedly went to notify Liu Tong, but Liu Tong was lying down and didn't even bother to raise his head.
"Then send them away. When they wake up, let them leave as soon as possible. If they stay for a while, I will have to take care of the food." Liu Tong buried his head in Si Niang's arms and didn't even want to move. She also drank too much last night. It is said that
He held the wife of Zhou Yu's family and refused to let go. She had to take her back to the palace, but Si Niang forced her back. I heard that she was embarrassed a lot.
"Speaking of which, why did the three of them follow me back to the palace yesterday?" Liu Tong asked Si Niang with some doubts after the palace maid left.
"It seems that I was escorting His Highness back, and then the road got sidetracked, so I fell asleep there." Si Niang's brain has always been in a gaseous state, so there is no possibility of fragmentation, and she still has some memory.
"Who wants them to give it away?" Liu Tong straightened his back with difficulty, sat up straight and said, "If they didn't give it away, maybe I would have brought Xiao Qiao back."
Xiao Qiao was not drunk, Liu Tong was really drunk, and then Liu Tong hugged Xiao Qiao and did not let go. If Si Niang hadn’t sent Liu Tong back, Liu Tong could have hugged Xiao Qiao back, and the meaning of separating women and men would be
Here, you save a lot of trouble.
On the other side, when Guan Yu woke up, Chen Xi had already asked people to make tea. After all, Dachangqiu Zhanshi was Chen Xi's apprentice, so he still had some respect. In addition, the wines these days were all high-quality grain wines.
It doesn't make you drunk after drinking it, and you can almost feel fine when you wake up.
"Drink some, Yunchang." Yu Jin poured a cup of hot tea for Guan Yu, and then sat down to relax while the three of them drank tea around the stove.
"Why doesn't this look like Zichuan's house?" Guan Yu asked while holding hot tea.
"This is Changle Palace. I don't know how the three of us got here. Anyway, we must have been drinking, singing, and seeing people off." Chen Xi said nonchalantly, "I have already called the dining room.
I cooked some seafood porridge and it will be delivered immediately. We will go out after eating."
As for Liu Tong telling Chen Xi and others to get out of bed when they woke up, Chen Xi pretended not to hear it. He had been drinking all night. He just woke up in the morning and hadn't fully recovered yet. He didn't drink some porridge to warm up, so he sent me away.
Come on, are you kidding? The dining room is also under the name of my young master. I run it and make porridge for me.
"Is it seafood porridge for lunch today?" Liu Tong chose to cut off his hair unceremoniously. When the seafood porridge cooked for Chen Xi in the dining room was about to be brought over, Liu Tong lifted up from Si Niang's arms without any hesitation.
I politely chose to cut off my hair.
"This seafood is really good. There are indeed a lot of delicious ones in Jingchu." Liu Tong was very satisfied with the seafood porridge. He had eaten some hard vegetables before, but now it is good to drink some porridge, especially with the meal.
After the room prepared all kinds of side dishes, Liu Tong ate even more happily.
On the other side, at the Changle Palace, three people were sitting on the floor. Because Liu Tong dismissed a large number of palace attendants and maids, the Changle Palace seemed a lot lonely. There were basically not many people, and generally meals would not be delivered here.
, but couldn't stop Chen Xi from speaking, of course he had food.
The Shaofu is really opened by Chen Xi, and the dining room is opened by the Shaofu, so there is nothing much to say.
"It's really exquisite. There are so many ingredients for a porridge." Just like an ordinary old man from Yongliang, Yu Jin made a big bowl of porridge, served it with side dishes, and finished it with a slurp.
"Stop talking nonsense, just tell me if it tastes good." Chen Xi said angrily, holding a small bowl, drinking porridge and side dishes, and quickly warmed up, "All it takes is a small clay oven to heat the wine.
, with some snacks, I’ll be able to get through it today.”
"With you, the biggest difference is that the quality of life has soared so much that what we used to eat was like pig food." Guan Yu drank a whole casserole of porridge, then turned to greet Chen Xi, "Too
Be particular about it.”
"It's nothing, I'm just being particular. Most of the time, I don't eat like this." Chen Xi smiled and said, "It's too particular. I only do it when I have nothing to do to kill time. Most of the time,
Just pick something delicious and eat it quickly."
"It's snowing." After Guan Yu had eaten and drank enough, he raised his hand and the Qinglong Yanyue Sword flew directly into Guan Yu's hand from nowhere, and outside the window was the fluttering snowflakes.
"Let's go. It's not good to stay in Changle Palace. Come back quickly. His Highness didn't drive us away. It's a shame." Yu Jin said with a yawn, and then walked down the steps.
"What are you going to do after you go back?" Chen Xi also walked down with Guan Yu and Yu Jin. Although the wind and snow were heavy, they didn't wear any cloaks and just went down the jade steps.
"Of course I go back to cook mutton on a snowy day." Yu Jin said matter-of-factly, "It's just that there weren't so many sheep to eat before. Now we can eat them. It's such a cold day and it's snowing outside, so of course I cook sheep at home.
Already."
"Cook two fat sheep, heat some rice wine, and watch the snow in the courtyard and eat meat for a whole day." Yu Jin looked cheerful, and Guan Yu was somewhat interested when he heard this. If they don't go to war recently, then there will be only one in Chang'an.
Eat and drink.
"An uncreative way to spend the winter." Chen Xi retorted casually, but there is a saying that cooking meat every day is also a happy way to spend the winter.
"What kind of creativity do you want? I don't have great ambitions. Although you all mock Xiaozhiding and cook the yellow sheep, but once you say it, I think life should be lived like this, and the life of the princes should be so dull and boring. I
Why are you eating a sheep?" Yu Jin looked like he could refute whatever he wanted, but I would just do it.
"Forget it, forget it, the Chinese New Year is coming soon anyway, I won't go to work, let's have hot pot at my house tomorrow." Chen Xi waved his hand and said, "We don't see each other a few times throughout the year, but we just happened to have dinner at my house, you all
Come, then no one will come looking for me."
At the end of every year, a group of people would come looking for Chen Xi. Chen Xi didn't want to be found by that group of people at all, so he changed it to a simple way. I'm having a meal with a group of big guys, and I'll see if any of you come to disturb me.
"That's okay, your cook is really good at cooking." Yu Jin said unceremoniously, "But in this case, I have to take my son with me."
"You can join the whole family together." Chen Xi said nonchalantly, "With my family's conditions, I'm afraid that a group of you won't be able to survive."
Guan Yu, who was silent on the side, also said that it was okay. Anyway, at the end of the year, we just have nothing to do but eat and drink together. At the end of the year, this is the only way to have fun. Let's get together more and be happy.
Chen Xi, Guan Yu, and Yu Jin parted ways at the door of their home, and then when they returned home, they saw Chen Qian and Chen Yu making trouble in the garden. It was obvious that the two of them had already felt the spirit of the New Year, and they were particularly happy recently.
"Dad." Chen Yu rushed over and hugged Chen Xi's thigh, "When will we have a feast again? I want to have a second meal."
Since Chen Yu was a child, this is the first time that Chen Xi's family has held such a big banquet. For a child who likes crowds and liveliness, this kind of thing is simply too happy.
"The second meal will be served tomorrow. Go ask your Aunt Ying to make preparations." Chen Xi bent down and picked up Chen Yu, bumped it, and then put it down again. The kid who was enjoying eating and drinking quickly ran away.
, and then saw Chen Qian wearing cotton clothes swinging in front of Chen Xi.
Chen Xi stretched out his hand to pick Chen Qian up, but Chen Qian dodged it naturally. Chen Xi couldn't help but shook his head. In the past, he had never disliked him as a father.
"Teacher Xu and Sister Ji are missing." Chen Qian suddenly said to Chen Xi.
Chen Xi was silent for a while, "They followed your Uncle Lu to the Ganges River, just like Uncle Jia's family. Look, didn't you see your Uncle Jia too?"
"But I met Brother Su Zhi and Sister Yun'er." Chen Qian said with some thought. In her simple world view, many things were obvious.
"You will understand in the future. They will be fine. It's just that it will be much harder to see them." Chen Xi sighed and said. It is not that it has become much more difficult, but that they will basically not be seen. Xu Ning and
Ji Xiang went to the Ganges River and almost never came back.
This is not something that can be released under a general amnesty, because Lu Su had no official crimes and was just an ordinary transfer, so there is no such thing as a pardon.
"Is that so?" Chen Qian looked at Chen Xi with confusion. Chen Xi didn't say anything and touched Chen Qian's little head, "Well, that's it."
Lu Su, who has not yet left the Central Plains, opens the car window and looks north from time to time. Even when he gets here, everything is already clear and he knows that it is impossible to see him. Lu Su also opens the car window more or less habitually, and finally work hard for the world together.
for more than ten years.
"Chang'an, so many things have happened." After Zhou Yu got drunk, he calmed down a lot and had time to carefully understand what happened recently.
"It has nothing to do with us." Sun Quan looked at Zhou Yu and asked, "There was quite a big fuss before. I thanked guests behind closed doors. I didn't know exactly what happened, but several important officials under Liu Bei were captured."
"It doesn't matter, and we can roughly understand what happened, but it's over, so don't worry about it. Let's just do our own thing." Zhou Yu had thrown these tips aside, although he could dig out some if he delved deeper.
Things, but now they, Jingchu, are also a mess themselves, and Zhou Yu doesn't want to get entangled in this kind of thing at all.
"Gong Jin, in addition to changing the army system, are we also changing the navy?" Sun Quan asked tentatively. Of course, before he said this, Sun Quan's crisis alarm system had already given a hint, and there was no danger.
"Yes, the navy suffered heavy losses before. Although Cai Degui succeeded in retaining some naval officers, the power at hand is no longer enough to suppress the Indian Ocean, so we have to make a choice." Zhou Yu nodded and said, "So, instead of
It’s better to say that it’s a change of navy soldiers, but it’s better to say that the situation is so bad that the new navy has to accept it no matter what it is.”
For the current Zhou Yu, this is really the case. No matter what kind of navy it is, as long as it is from the Han Dynasty, if you accept it, at least you will not die. If you don't accept it, it is really a matter of life and death. So in this aspect
Zhou Yu didn't think about it directly, and of course he accepted it.
"If you really want to talk about our situation in Southeast Asia, as long as we can ensure that there are no problems with the navy, there will be no trouble. As for the issue of chaos or chaos, I think you have some experience." Zhou Yu looked at Sun Quan and was very worried.
He said calmly, Sun Quan was once a standard member of the Jingchu civil war, so he knew what Jingchu was like.
"Absolutely understand." Sun Quan said expressionlessly. The chaos of the Jingchu family can be seen from many aspects. "What's the next stage?"
"After we have dealt with the Jingchu family, we have to deal with Mengkangbu. Even if we cannot completely suppress the Indian Ocean, we must at least ensure the logistics and transportation of the Han army." Zhou Yu said to Sun Quan with a fierce look in his eyes. This again
It's a fatal plan, but in something like the Navy, sometimes you have to prove your existence.
When there was a navy, it felt like a backdrop. However, when the navy was gone, many problems immediately became problems that had to be faced.
"In other words, next year?" Sun Quan said with a twitching corner of his mouth. He had just returned from Central Asia and was about to participate in the imperial war on the other side. Moreover, his keen intuition was wildly hinting to him that there was no danger at all here.
Lower than Beigui.
"Yes, the risk of attacking at the beginning of the year is very high, but it is also the time that can best deter Moncomb. He has definitely invested a lot in Ceylon. At that time when we attack, he is unlikely to take both risks.
"Zhou Yu said very seriously.
There will be another update later, today is 12.26, I will definitely add an update~
