Chapter 147: A Visitor from Far Away
There are still seven or eight days before Song Hengyuan's birthday banquet, and the envoys from various countries have already arrived in Selangora City. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
The already lively streets of Sylangor City are even more lively.
Among these envoys, the first to arrive is still Snow Country. Snow Country is also familiar with the faces who came this time - the crown prince Yi Nuoyun and the fifth prince Yi Nuoran. The two of them had already come once at the Orchid Appreciation Conference last year, and this time they were also familiar with each other, and after settling down at the Snow Country Inn, Song Jin invited the brothers to his mansion as guests.
This is also a tradition of the Snow Country and the Lan Kingdom, between the kings of the two countries, from the time they became the crown prince, they have established a personal relationship, so that after the succession, even if their status is limited, they can not easily leave their respective capitals to meet again, but because they have enough understanding and mutual trust between each other, so that the two countries have a good foundation for exchanges and each other.
When Song Jin went to Snow Country before, he was also treated with the same hospitality by Yi Noyun.
This time, Yi Nuoyun and Yi Nuoran, like last year, specially brought a special gift to Song Jin, giving Song Jin the latest bow and crossbow made by the top craftsmen of the Snow Country, and giving Yun Yuan an embroidered painting of a hundred flowers by the Crown Princess of the Snow Country. The embroidery technique of the Snow Country is very different from the technique of the Great Orchid, although this embroidery painting is different from the delicate stitches and fine colors of the Great Blue Embroidery Painting, but it also has a sense of rough atmosphere, which is very consistent with the temperament of the Snow Country people.
Yun Yuan has been friends with the princess of the Snow Country for a long time, although they have never met, but women love beauty, so the return gift prepared for her is the skin care balm specially made by her who used a cook to go to the Lin Mansion for a month to exchange with Su Miao some time ago, the weather in the Snow Country is much colder than Dalan, so the skin care balm will be more needed! Yun Yuan had also received balsam from the crown princess, and felt that there was still a certain gap compared to what Su Miao made, so she asked Su Miao to make a kind of magnolia flower fragrance that the princess of the Snow Country liked but was doubly moisturizing. There are five whole boxes, packed in small boxes of sandalwood, which are very beautiful.
During the banquet, Yi Nuoran couldn't help but ask Song Jin: "Prince, this time the birthday banquet, the entire Dalan Putian celebrates, all the courtiers should be here, right?" β
"Not necessarily." Song Jin thought for a while, "Those who have responsibilities must stay in their original positions, and only send people to give birthday gifts." "Like the fifth child of King Jing's Mansion, he is his cousin, he and his wife are in the country of Luo, it seems that there is something to do with the itinerary and can't come back. But among his father's generation, his father had the best relationship with him, and he knew the roots, so he didn't mind.
"Then, Song Chen, the fifth son of King Jing's Mansion, will he come back?" Innovan asked.
"He's been in Sylangor City all these days!" Song Jin said with a smile. When Yi Nuoyun and Yi Nuoran came last year, they arrived with Song Chen, and he knew this, and he thought that this was their encounter on the way to Selangor City, so they went together. According to Yi Nuoran's question, the friendship between them is not shallow?
"That's great!" Yi Nuoran clapped his hands, and he didn't shy away from it, and smiled with Yi Nuoyun, "Big brother, then we'll ask Song Chen to come out tomorrow!" Speaking of which, the roast duck that we said we were invited to eat last year has not been eaten! β
Song Jin smiled: "It turns out that the fifth prince likes our Dalan's roast duck?" The chef's roast duck kung fu is not bad! It's better than the restaurant outside, or, I'll invite Song Chen over another day, and I'll invite you two to eat? β
"Won't that bother you too much?" Yi Nuoyun said politely, "It sounds like the prince and Song Chen are also familiar with each other?" β
"He's my cousin!" Song Jin said, meaning: Can it be uncooked? But he couldn't say this sentence two months ago.
"That'...... Will Miss Su come with you then? Innovan interjected.
"Miss Su?" Song Jin looked at Yi Nuoran's expression, another person who was thinking about Su Miao?
"It's the little girl who has always been inseparable from Song Chen......" Yi Nuoran thought that Song Jin could not be acquainted, so he reminded him, "If you are familiar with Song Chen, you should know her too, and Song Chen has to take her wherever she goes......"
Miss Sue's words...... Nature will come. Song Jin smiled, Yi Nuoran described it very vividly just now, isn't Song Chen eager to take his Miaomiao with him wherever he goes! Do you also have a relationship with Miss Su? β
"My mother likes her very much, and my sister is also good friends with her, so come here this time and let me bring her a gift!" Yi Nuoyun saw Song Jin's faint vigilance and explained. With Song Chen's step-by-step appearance, who dares to be interested in Miss Su! If it was in front of Song Chen, you could still joke with him, but it was better to make it clear in front of Song Chen, in case there was any misunderstanding, there would be no need.
Song Jin's actions were still very fast, and he found Song Chen and Su Miao in the palace the next day.
The model that Song Chen wanted to prepare as a birthday gift was also completed, and he and Su Miao entered the palace once, and handed over the bronze box containing the ancient soldier's book and the box containing the model to Song Hengyuan. After all, it's better not to take out such a birthday gift at the birthday banquet. Because during the birthday banquet, there will be a habit of displaying the birthday gift in public, whether it is a military book or a machine array, it is not suitable to take out things for onlookers. Anyway, when the time comes, he and Su Miao can also present the white jade Maitreya Buddha sent by their father, which is not abrupt.
Song Hengyuan was very surprised when he received those two things. Originally, when he saw the crown prince, he wanted to pull this prince to study it together, but when he saw that he seemed to have something to do with Song Chen and Su Miao, he waved his hand and let them leave.
Time is also tight, and there is no need to beat around the bush to talk to Song Chen and Su Miao, because sometimes when you beat around the bush, they won't understand (of course, I don't know if they really don't understand or pretend to be confused), so Song Jin went straight to the point: "Song Chen, do you have free time in the next few days?" β
"What's the matter?" Song Chen raised his eyes.
"Someone from the Snow Countryβit's their crown prince Inuoyun and the fifth prince Inuoran." Song Jin looked at Song Chen's face, "According to them, you still owe them a roast duck......"
Su Miao smiled "poof": "The real foodie has arrived......"
Song Chen didn't hold back: "A roast duck is remembered for a year, and the prince of this snow country can be regarded as a good memory." β
"So it's true?" Song Jin couldn't help but be a little curious, Song Chen didn't look like this kind of person who would owe people something, he could foresee that if he didn't propose to eat roast duck in his mansion next, Song Chen should ask the restaurant to give Yi Nuoran ten or eight, so that he could be impressed......
"He asked me to ask for it." Song Chen said lightly, "I never agreed." β
He knew it! Song Jin shook his head with a smile: "Didn't the master in the house last time after being instructed by Miss Su, the roast duck he made was very suitable for your appetite?" I'll answer for you, and I'll eat in my house tomorrow, right?" β
Song Jin raised his eyes to look at Song Jin, and he didn't mean to accompany him
Song Jin looked at Su Miao: "It just so happened that the brothers were looking for Miss Su-"
"What are they looking for Su Miao?" Song Chen immediately asked.
"Say it's a gift for her......" Song Jin deliberately said vaguely, and sure enough, he saw Song Chen's face instantly darken.
"It seems to be their queen, and a princess asked them to bring it here." Song Jin hurriedly explained.
"Oh, I see!" Su Miao, who had been silent, suddenly said something at this time, she leaned closer to Song Chen's ear and said in a kind of aura that Song Jin couldn't hear, "It must be that Yi Muyue and that Xun family's son have something to do......"
The son of the Xun family? Xun Yancheng? Su Miao's words were endless, but Song Chen immediately remembered what Su Miao and Yi Muyue, the tenth princess of the Snow Country, had said when they were in the Snow Country Palace, they bit their ears and he walked away, he was embarrassed to listen to the topic of these daughters' families, but now he was unmatched in his sensitivity in this regard, and immediately guessed: "Oh......"
Song Jin saw that the two people in front of him were talking as if they were talking to a code, but Song Chen's face was already much better, and he no longer tried to touch the other party's scales: "Then tomorrow, when Shen is shining, you will come to my house?" β
"Yes." Su Miao directly responded on behalf of Song Chen, "It just so happens that my newly brewed plum wine can be opened, let's bring a jar over." β
In the past, Su Miaodu only made plum wine in Tianjian Peak, the plum tree on the peak was very old, the flower fragrance was long and rich, and it was used to make wine with a dark fragrance and a mellow taste, which was Song Chen's favorite wine. However, when he was in Selangor City last year, the plum wine original liquid brought down from Tianjian Peak was drunk, and Su Miao saw that Song Chen liked it, so he picked some new plums from the plum tree in the forest house to brew. A few days ago, a jar was opened, although the plum fragrance was not as good as the one brewed in Tianjian Peak, but it was also very clear and delicious, and she and Song Chen liked it a lot. I brought two jars back to King Jing's mansion, and I had an appetite for the old King Jing, who had never loved spirits, and drank several more glasses at that time.
"That's very good." Song Jin welcomed, "Originally, I was still thinking about what kind of wine to drink!" Su Miao had eaten the roast duck of the southern chef in the Prince's Mansion before, and felt a little greasy, so he pointed out a few words to him, and asked him to add some tangerine peel to the pickled duck, and when he blew, the duck was filled with some mint and then sealed to roast. The aroma of the roast is really unique, and it doesn't feel greasy at all. Originally, when eating ordinary roast duck, you need to add some vegetables and fruits to neutralize a little, and it is usually accompanied by wine, but when you eat this kind of roast duck, the wine is just right! He also recommended it to his father, and at that time, the cook would be in charge of roasting duck at the birthday banquet.
After eating the roast duck, there were only three days left for the birthday banquet in the palace, and the Eagle Country and the Sea Country also came separately.
The Eagle Kingdom came from the Second Princes Feng Jieteng and Zhenyun, and the Sea Kingdom came from their Nine Emperors and his master Du Bianchun.
On the second day after eating that meal in the Prince's Mansion, Yi Nuoyun and Yi Nuoran went to Hengqing Hall with gifts from their mother and sister. On the second floor, when chatting with Song Chen and Su Miao while drinking tea, I happened to see the figure of Feng Jieteng and Yu Yun riding a horse on the street near the window.
