Chapter 689: Chen Jiangliu's Decision
The study room in the courtyard is still quiet, although there is no restriction on anyone, but everyone has a surprising tacit understanding, and every time they finish taking the books they want to read, they will leave, and they will not stay in this room for too long.
If it is splendid, it is naturally another matter, because in addition to the coldness of this room, there is only the steady sandalwood dyed in the incense burner.
The smoke of the cooking outside the city wall never stopped, and I don't know if the Xiliang soldiers outside the city were cooking or baking the fire, but at this time, they didn't care about Jinxiu.
Headed by Jinxiu, he strode ahead, followed by a face that couldn't hide his joy, Jin Jia was not there, and with his sincere and undisguised smile, he was like an amiable brother next door.
Beside him was Chen Jiangliu, with a complicated expression, as if he had been relieved of something, and as if he was carrying something.
Although it was Jinxiu who made the two young people look like this, she didn't feel a trace of guilt, she just gave the choice, pushed it with one hand, and made the most beneficial choice for the current situation.
As for what others will think in their hearts, she can't control it, but she knows that people always have to grow, and some realities have to be faced sooner or later, just like Chen Jiangliu.
The twilight has cleared, but the courtyard has fallen an inch of thick snowdrifts, when the wooden door of the study is opened, there is still a little wind falling into the wooden floor in the study, Jinxiu raised his eyebrows, and then turned sideways to make an invitation, and let the two behind him in, but he was familiar with picking up firewood and making a fire.
Chen Jiangliu paused when he saw this, and when he saw the spine-like back, he still sighed softly and beckoned to Lerna Yu to sit on the low table, and opened the secret compartment on the side of the low table familiarly, picked out a pot of tea leaves that smelled quite strong and added it to the teapot, picked up three cups and placed them on the table, and then sighed leisurely, with a little mockery
"In the future, this one-third of an acre of land, I will be no different from self-established king!"
His words amused Lernayu with a smile, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, all without the deep and calm appearance of the past, "Brother Chen said such things in such a resentful tone, he had to pull some hatred!"
"The city wall of this Qingniu Village is three feet high, and there is enough moat water mixed with things to burn people to death, and there are 100 acres of fertile land in the village. The 100,000 people under my command will have to pay some price to break this city wall, what is there to worry about Brother Chen, such an easy to defend and difficult to attack place, but I can't ask for it!"
This is a big truth, not to mention that in such a remote place, this kind of defense can be ranked among the top in those big cities, Chen Jiangliu is happy and glorious, but these can't appease his already tormented heart.
"Yes, if you can establish yourself as a king in these realms, it must be not bad!" Chen Jiangliu raised his head and looked at Le Nayu, and said word by word, "But I just want to be a little parent official and my little son of Jiangmen, I didn't want to be like this!"
He almost gritted his teeth, "But what is the current Northern Regions Imperial Court?" Maybe what you said is right, so I just want to try, after all, I am not alone by my side, at the foot of Mangshan, the people in this radius of thousands of miles still rely on my protection!"
He didn't care what his reaction was, and he kept saying to himself, "My father fought a bloody battle in the border city to protect the safety of the people of a country, and now I am just a different way! If he knew that the only remaining incense of the Chen family was treated like this, he would have been angry a long time ago, hehe..."
Lernayu looked at Chen Jiangliu, whose eyes were slightly red, chattering with the strength of wine, and the smile on his face gradually converged, as if there were endless tragic stories in the world, and a few happy families would have a few worries.
Previously, there was a river of blood and a mountain of corpses here, but the Northern Regions Imperial Court, which was constantly remembered by Chen Jiangliu, may be a group of singing and dancing to level up, Zhumen wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road, Jin is really right!
Le Nayu smiled and rubbed the white porcelain tea cup in his hand, only feeling that it felt very good, but in his mind, he couldn't help but think that the emperor of the Northern Regions wanted to come to be not much different from himself, how about the feeling of being held in the hands of the courtiers?
Hehe, although he won't intersect with the sword of the Northern Regions, he can't make fun of it in his heart, right?
How long has it been since I have felt this kind of warmth? I heard that the people in this small courtyard are not any direct relatives, and even some of them are children brought back by Jin outside, so is she no different from these people? It is all the result of her momentary kindness?
But doesn't it feel better to see the people who used to be like fairies and in the air boiling water and making tea? She is her friend, the person who makes this small courtyard her home!
Although he was a newcomer, the people here gave him a fresh but warm day, and he pursed his lips and smiled, his eyes swaying with tenderness that he didn't even know.
"What kind of wine is the appetite for the banquet?what kind of wine do you like?How is it better than mare's milk wine?" Jinxiu picked up the boiling kettle, and walked to the low side to refill the teapot.
"It's too modest to say that it's an appetite, it's really a delicacy in the world, and I can't stop thinking about it. I really can't imagine that a man like an immortal can cook, I look at it in the book, the gentleman is a distant cook....."
Lernayu watched Jinxiu sit on the futon on the side, and without waiting for the two of them to make a move, he took the white porcelain teapot in his hand first, shook it, and teased leisurely! If it was said that in the past, Elenayu was respectful, aweful, and a close friend of Jinxiu, then at this time, he was a little afraid and obedient, and a little more casual and cordial.
Jinxiu didn't have any thoughts about this, but that gentleman's distant kitchen made her a little smiling. The two of them are already cooperating, and she doesn't want a king of a country to be her subordinate, in that case, it is tantamount to playing with fire**, it is better to be a teacher and a friend, and get along properly, patting the folds on the flat clothes, taking the tea cup handed over by Le Nayu, and taking a sip of it, Jinxiu breathed a sigh of relief, but listened to Le Nayu
"As for which one you like? It's really hard for me, and you know, there is only mare's milk wine on the grassland to warm the body, and these drinks are all excellent for me.....!
Chen Jiangliu, who was on the side, raised his hand and took the teacup and drank it all in one gulp, and then walked to the bookcase by himself, laying paper and grinding ink..........
