Chen Xi took Xu Chu through several streets and arrived at the restaurant owned by the Mi family. When the waiter of the restaurant saw Chen Xi coming, he quickly informed the shopkeeper.
"I've met Chen Hou and General Xu. What do you want to eat? There is a private room upstairs." The shopkeeper said with cupped hands.
"Well, Mr. Xuande will probably come soon, so I'll prepare two more dishes, and boil a bucket of water and wash this guy for me." Chen Xi waved his hand to indicate that the other party could dodge, and then seemed to think of something.
What is it? He pointed at the little devil being carried by Xu Chu and said.
Speaking of which, the little devil being carried by Xu Chu didn't struggle too much now. He probably knew that he couldn't break free from Xu Chu's restraints, so he hung on Xu Chu's hand dejectedly.
"Okay." The shopkeeper looked at the little beggar who looked like a mud monkey and nodded, "Waiter, take him to wash up and change clothes."
"Why don't you change your clothes? Turn up the heat and cook him into soup. Remember to cook more and add some spices!" Chen Xi turned around and stared at the little ghost head and said fiercely.
"No, no, I don't want to turn into soup, I don't want it to taste good!" The little devil who was waiting dejectedly for Chen Xi's cooking suddenly screamed, and then bared his teeth and claws in Chen Xi's direction.
"Well, Chen Hou, we don't have this kind of business in our restaurant." The shopkeeper took out his handkerchief and wiped the sweat from his forehead, and blatantly said that he would make soup for a living person. Although he knew you were joking, it would affect the business.
Ah, we are not running a black shop!
"You're kidding." Chen Xi gave the arrogant brat a blow and calmed him down, "This brat is very tough. Even my three or five personal guards couldn't capture him. If I leave it to you, he will most likely get away."
So Zhongkang, please keep an eye on this guy and prepare some clothes for him. I have never seen such a powerful kid at the age of twelve or thirteen."
"Okay, okay." The shopkeeper felt relieved. As long as it was not a cold job like boiling people alive, he felt that his restaurant could still take over.
The little beggar held by Xu Chu was relieved after hearing Chen Xi's words, and no longer struggled wildly. He just looked at Chen Xi pitifully, "Chen Hou, please let me go, I didn't mean it.
I have a lot of younger brothers and sisters to take care of. I will pay you back when I have money. Can you let me go?"
"Who wants you to pay it back? Go to Zhongkang and remember to clean it well with an iron brush." Chen Xi said fiercely.
The little beggar who has been wandering for many years also knows how to read his words. It is obvious that Chen Xi does not have much malice towards him, but he is just a little cruel. But then Xu Chu's answer made the little beggar fall directly into hell, "I will remember to use the iron well."
Just brush it over again."
"No, let me go, I can wash it myself..." When Xu Chu carried the little beggar and walked towards the backyard, his screams were too much like a person who was unwilling to take a bath and was forced to do so.
Kid, if a teenage kid rolls around all day long, whether he is a beggar or not, there doesn’t seem to be much difference, they are all the same black...
"I disturbed your business." Chen Xi apologized to the shopkeeper after Xu Chu took the kid away.
"Why is Marquis Chen doing this, please." As he said this, the shopkeeper made a gesture of invitation and asked Chen Xi to go upstairs.
Chen Xi was sitting on a chair by the window on the second floor, eating boiled meat that he didn't know whether it was mutton or some other kind of meat. Anyway, it was still unclear whether Liu Bei would come.
"Click!" The door on the second floor opened, Liu Bei stepped inside, and Li Youye looked at Chen Xi who was leaning against the window and looking into the distance with a helpless tone.
"Mr. Xuande." Chen Xi put the chopsticks on his own plate and asked with a smile.
"Zichuan, why did you make my residence so luxurious!" Liu Bei had no intention of giving Chen Xi a good look, and asked in a face-to-face manner as soon as he entered the door.
"You spend your own money to build a hometown for others, and you still get criticized. This is really not good news. You are flattering and flattering." Chen Xi said calmly, as if he didn't care about Liu Bei at all.
tone.
“Mr.
After sitting down, Liu Bei became indignant again and glared at Chen Xi, "Zichuan, don't you know how to be more simple? In such a big building, people see that I, Liu Xuande, am remembered as someone who loves luxury. Why are you laughing? You guys should run away too."
No."
"Okay, okay, we can't run away either..." Chen Xi said nonchalantly, "Mr. Xuande, you can live in yours. You don't have to worry about these things. That building and the other two buildings are all for Fenggao."
It’s a symbol. Xuande Gong itself is a symbol of Fenggao. It’s natural to live in a landmark building. There is no problem. As for the expenses and phone bills, I just want to ask, has there been any improvement under Xuande Gong’s rule compared to before?”
"Sophistication!" Liu Bei glanced at Chen Xi with contempt. He and Chen Xi had known each other for a long time and naturally knew how to deal with Chen Xi's quibbling behavior.
"Then let's put it another way. In fact, I built this building to record the great achievements of Xuande Gong. If the people are virtuous, they can adapt to living in that kind of building." Chen Xi casually pulled a shield and gestured with Liu Bei.
He took out a piece of meat with a big spoon and put it on his own small plate. He then signaled to Li You that he should eat and drink. Let's see how Chen Xi convinced Liu Bei. Liu Bei just felt that the luxurious living room was too luxurious and was a bit disgusting.
If you don't want to live there, this is the so-called moral quality that suppresses your desires. From this aspect, Liu Bei's morals are still good.
"The problem is that the people of the world have not yet been saved. If nothing else, more than half of Qingzhou has not been saved." Liu Bei said speechlessly. He is still far away from being virtuous by the people!
"So we built such a palace for Duke Xuande to live in, as a warning to Duke Xuande. Look, Duke Xuande, only people with virtue can live in it. And if you live in it now, you will definitely not feel at ease. You should feel at ease then."
We can only imitate the virtues of the forefathers and let the common people learn from them. The ancients said that if you are poor, you can be good for yourself, and if you are prosperous, you can help the world. Now, Mr. Xuande, what you have to do is to help the world and find a way to make the wealth you feel bestowed upon your rule."
Chen Xi continued to argue, knowing that Liu Bei would not be able to argue with him anyway.
"But..." Liu Bei opened his mouth to argue, where is all this?
"There is no but, the greater the wealth you enjoy, the broader your vision will be, just like a poor man's fantasy is that the emperor eats white steamed buns and uses a golden hoe. The greater the wealth you enjoy, the more you have to bear
Things are getting heavier and heavier, and it is extremely difficult to provide everyone with food, clothing, and shelter. For thousands of years, few wise kings and capable ministers can do it." Chen Xi continued to distort, he had successfully distorted the issues involved before, and the generals who had changed things were
Discussing Liu Bei's personal luxury issue turned into benefiting the world...
