"Come here, touch my hand. Is it cold?" Xiao Chen put his hand into the fat man's neck.
"Oh, my paws are cold!" the fat man screamed.
"What are you two doing so early in the morning?" Xiao Chen asked.
"How about I get you drunk after hearing that there are thousands of trees in the Western Mountains covered with snow?" The fat man could even chant a few words casually now.
"We are going to Xishan to see the snow. Brother Xiao, are you going?" Qianye Ling said with a smile.
"Don't misunderstand Ang, Qianye is just being polite to you. In addition, my poem is mainly for the sake of being neat and tidy, but I don't really invite you to go." The fat man said hurriedly.
"Hmph, who cares? Even if you invite me to go, I won't go!" Xiao Chen was envious and jealous at the same time. He snorted and walked away.
In fact, he also wants to go, but there is a court meeting today, and he has to go to the palace to see the emperor, otherwise he will go together... Then he won't go, because he hates seeing Fatty and Qianye Ling being so tired!
No one ever gets tired of me.
After taking only two steps, I suddenly felt a chill in my neck. Suddenly I looked back and saw Ling'er's little figure flying away with a giggle.
"You're a little girl who knows how to play pranks. You like to play in the snow, right? You're not allowed to go anywhere today. You have to sweep the snow at home for me. You're not allowed to go out until it's swept away!" Xiao Chen lowered his head and picked out the snowballs from his neck. He came out, threw it in the fat man's face, turned around and ran away.
Behind him were Fatty's scolding and Qianye Ling's laughter...
Go out and mount your horse, crush Qiong Yao all the way, and come into the palace.
When I arrived at the Qinzheng Hall, I saw that many people had come to Jiuqing's room. Some were sitting and chatting, some were standing and stamping their feet. When they saw Xiao Chen, some nodded and smiled, and some said hello. Everyone was so Once you are familiar with each other, there will be no unnecessary politeness.
As soon as Xiao Chen saw Yuan Ren sitting alone in the corner, he strolled over to greet him, "Why do you, Qin Tianjian, come to join in the fun on this snowy day? Are my wife and children uncomfortable with the hot bed?"
"Isn't this the first snow that has fallen today? As usual, the emperor wants to ask the auspicious disaster." Yuan Ren looked around and saw no one coming, and whispered, "How is the investigation of that case?"
"You are really a nosy person!" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "The emperor asked you to participate in handling the case, but you just stayed away. I didn't look for you, and you didn't even say you would go to my house to sit or sit in my house. Why don't you go to the prince's palace for a walk? How come you, an Imperial Supervisor, are more noble than the Metropolitan Procuratorate?"
"Haha, you, Mr. Xiao, don't know something. It's not appropriate for me to try to find someone else. Haven't you seen that everyone is avoiding me?" Yuan Ren said with a smile.
"Why?" Xiao Chen asked curiously.
"I think I'm evil. There are always ghosts, gods, demons, monsters, etc. around me. I'm afraid I'll offend them." Yuan Ren smiled bitterly, "A few years ago, there was a director of the Ministry of Industry because he drank with me once. When I returned home, I fell ill and couldn't get up. I had a fever and talked nonsense, and died before dawn... I don't know how it was spread later, but they all said I was in trouble."
"Isn't this nonsense?" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "The emperor doesn't shy away from you, they shy away from you. We also drank and ate together, isn't it okay?"
"Maybe it's because Mr. Xiao, you have a tough life." Yuan Ren said with a smile.
"Seriously, Lao Yuan, do you know how to tell fortunes? Tell me your fortune when you have time. I always feel that I have a bad time and I always encounter bad things, many of which are bloody disasters." Xiao Chen said.
"Master Xiao, you have such a good life, why do you need to calculate it?" Yuan Ren said with a smile, "Although we encountered many disasters, didn't they all turn into good fortune in the end? Did the disasters turn into good fortune? As the saying goes, you can survive a catastrophe. There will be blessings in the future. You have survived so many disasters, how many blessings will you have in the future?"
"Is this what your Qin Tianjian said?" Xiao Chen said angrily, "I asked you to tell my fortune, but who asked you to read a jingle to me!"
"Who are you telling fortunes for? Master Xiao? Then you can tell me fortunes by the way." But it was Lu Jing who came over with a smile.
"Pull him down, it's better for me to settle it for you than to let him settle it. This Yuan Ren is not a good person who deceives the world and steals his reputation!" Xiao Chen said, "He also claims that he is a descendant of Master Yuan Tiangang. I think he is a liar.
"Don't talk nonsense. If you make Yuan Ren angry, I'll hit you with the Five Thunder Techniques... I don't need you to tell your fortune. I have something to ask you. Let's take a step to talk." Lu Jing pulled him aside.
"Everything else is fine. I don't have any sugar. If you want it, just go to Shangguan and Manager Qu." Xiao Chen could use his nose to figure out what he was looking for.
"That damn fat guy doesn't even give me face!" Lu Jing got angry when he mentioned this.
"He's always been like this." Xiao Chen nodded in agreement.
"Now our Zhou army is in urgent need of a large amount of sugar, especially the troops stationed on the frontier... I ordered a batch from Yanyun County last time, but wasn't there a misunderstanding later? It didn't even come. I asked Li Toyota to come with Your Yanyun manufacturer contacted me, but they said they wouldn't give me anything, so it seems they have to find you." Lu Jing said.
"Why don't you give it? They took the money but didn't deliver the goods. This is against business ethics!" Xiao Chen was furious when he heard this, "I will punish them severely when I turn around!"
"Uh... Mr. Xiao, please calm down first. It's just an order. In fact, I haven't given any money yet. It was agreed at the time that it was on credit..." Lu Jing hurriedly explained.
"Oh... that's no wonder." Xiao Chen stopped getting angry, "Right now, the sugar thing is very tight. Even our Yanyun local area is in short supply, plus Northern Xinjiang, Gaojuli, Japan, Ross... "
"That's why I came to beg you. I don't care how difficult it is for you. Anyway, give me one hundred thousand kilograms first. In addition, there are one hundred thousand cans of canned fruits, canned vegetables, and canned meat. Our frontier soldiers can't even eat a piece of fruit." Vegetables, these things are not afraid of freezing. If you transport them now, you can eat them until the beginning of next spring..." Lu Jing said.
"Sigh... I shouldn't have robbed you of Mr. Lu's horses in the first place. It seems like I'm still indebted to you now!" Xiao Chen sighed, "I just try my best to do it for you. In fact, I don't usually bark. Just a matter of fact, isn’t it that King Zhongcheng and the others are going to fight ahead, so a lot of supplies have been given to them first, otherwise it wouldn’t have happened.”
"That's interesting enough." Lu Jing was overjoyed, "Of course I know this, that's why I'm asking you. Don't talk about the past. Aren't we good brothers now?"
"The main thing I want to ask of you, Mr. Lu, is that when the battle with the British is over, you must not be stingy when it comes to military achievements, and don't treat my brothers in the Yanyun Navy as outsiders." Xiao. Chen smiled.
"That can't be done, that can't be done." Lu Jing said hurriedly, "But small military merits are fine, and I don't care about big merits. This is the prince's command. When the time comes, what is written in the military merit book will be sent to our Ministry of War. Do as you’re told.”
"I'm just joking with you. You, Mr. Lu, are just pushing back and forth. It's obviously not interesting enough." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"It's you who are not interesting enough!" Lu Jing said, "I begged you many times to give me a batch of hot air balloons but you still didn't give me the manufacturing blueprints for the armored ballista, and you promised to give me the rubber. Tires...forget it, if I ask you how many bicycles you want and you refuse to give them to you, that's too much. They're not military supplies either!"
He didn't even mention the fact that Zhou Dynasty sent troops to attack Yan Yun.
