Chapter 133: Picnic
Li Lingfeng's reinforcements were written, Chen Shou blew the ink, glanced at it hastily, and was very satisfied.
"I'll go!" Chen Shou picked it up and was about to leave, but was dragged by Li Lingfeng on the corner of his clothes.
"Didn't you ask the family to go out for a walk?"
"Huh? yes, what's wrong? Chen Shou asked sullenly.
"What do you say?"
Chen Shou asked Li Lingfeng to go out for a walk, but she grabbed the handle and stayed in the summer palace to accompany her for a walk and picnic.
There are not too many palaces in the back mountain, but a stretch of woods, and the sun shines through the branches and leaves, sprinkled through the forest, like a golden carpet.
A few guards set up the stove stones, brought all kinds of ingredients, made a charcoal fire, and left with a smile.
Zhiqi dressed up very capably, tied a very playful green handkerchief on his head to wrap his hair, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his white lotus arms, and got busy with Zhiqin.
Chen Shou also stepped forward, but he didn't help, and his face was gray, and he was soon blasted away by the three daughters.
In this era, men are inferior to women, which is very different from later generations, and the man who cooks is not a good man, but a man who has no potential.
When a man cooks, it is not only an insult to a man, but also an insult to his woman, which means that a man who is supposed to be outside can't handle it outside, so he can only hide behind and let his wife come forward to reason with others.
Chen Shoule's leisure, in the forest of the back mountain, enjoy the beautiful scenery.
No one knows that in this place like a fairy mountain in the world, there are countless caves and passages hidden, and it is a military industrial empire and a military warehouse of its own.
Soon, the three masters and servants used mountain spring water and dry branches as fuel, and made several dishes, and even a lettuce soup.
Chen Shou rubbed his hands and was about to feast, when suddenly Zhang He hurriedly ran over, hugged his fists from afar and said, "My lord, there are Tang people who have crossed from the sea and come to Bianliang to meet your lordship." ”
"Tang people?" Chen Shou was stunned for a moment, and then said in ecstasy: "It must be someone from the Qiantang Chamber of Commerce, they agreed to do business with me?" ”
"Eat before you go!" Li Lingfeng rarely cooks once, although the two maids are the main force, but she is also full of a sense of achievement.
Chen Shou took the step and took it back stupidly, "Hehe, of course, who said I was leaving?" ”

Li Xin had already left Yingzhou Mansion and came to Yanmen Pass.
He Chen Bing is here, and he is also a warning to Jiang Chucai, so that he had better do what he says obediently, and make the last effort to solve this matter without fighting.
The Mongols didn't hurt their vitality, they just couldn't fight in and retreated, if there was civil strife in the Central Plains, they would take advantage of the opportunity and would definitely make a comeback.
When the time comes, he will lose a stable rear, and Li Xin himself is not sure if he can hold it.
It is best for Jiang Chu to take the initiative to give in and give in, and Chen Shou also accepts his surrender, and everyone continues to maintain peace on face.
As for cutting the domain, you can't be in a hurry, Li Xin is very clear about this.
The messenger who came back brought back Jiang Chucai's words, which made Li Xin frown.
"What else did he say?"
The messenger hugged his fists and said: "He also said that if the major general is willing to crusade against the national thief Chen Shou, he is willing to pay for food and horses, and entangle the heroes of Hedong for the general's use." ”
"Ridiculous!" Li Xin scolded: "This is to provoke chaos in the world." ”
Externally, he is a staunch main battle faction, fighting the Qiang people in the west and defending Mongolia in the north, and never retreating half a point.
But internally, Li Xin hopes that the civil war will not break out, and any war that occurs in the heart of the Central Plains may be the last straw that crushes Daqi.
Jiang Chucai and Chen Shou were already on the same page, full of gunpowder, and Li Xin hoped that he could make his last effort to avoid the outbreak of this war.
----
Outside Bianliang City, a force of about 2,000 soldiers and horses suddenly arrived.
People shouted and neighed, swords and guns reflected the sun, and the tranquility of the suburbs was broken in an instant.
Two thousand men, all knights, dressed in armor, wearing red robes, riding on a strong and tall horse, with swords and shields, complete saddles, and a large red tasseled spear, the sharp blade of a steel spear with a foot and a half of a foot is shining, and the barrel of the cobble-egg has a heavy texture.
Two thousand soldiers and horses rushed to the outskirts of the city, and two generals with helmets and armor brought dozens of warriors with half-arm robes, shields in one hand and swords in the other, and stepped forward majestically and asked, "Which one is from the Qiantang Chamber of Commerce?" ”
Behind, the dense cavalry formed a tight military formation. There are so many men and horses, but they are silent and silent, and their momentum is like a mountain, only the flags hunt and tremble in the wind.
At the crossing of the Bianhe River, the people of the Chamber of Commerce who had just gotten off the boat had seen this kind of army in Datang, and one of them stepped forward and said, "We are." ”
"By the order of the Loyal and Brave Marquis, I am here to welcome all distinguished guests, please!"
After saying that, with a wave of his hand, the armor behind him divided to the left and right, giving way to a road, and there were three carriages in the middle of the road.
The people of the Qiantang Chamber of Commerce, He had received this kind of treatment, and they had a deeper trust in Chen Shou's sincerity.
At this time, in the water pavilion, Chen Shou invited Miao De, who had not been out of the palace for a long time, and the two of them were sitting opposite each other at a small table, drinking tea.
Behind the curtain next to her, Tao'er came out with a kettle, knelt beside Chen Shou, and refilled the two of them.
"Godfather, Daqi is short of materials, especially the large amount of linen and food I need, the Qiantang Chamber of Commerce can solve my urgent need this time!"
Miao De has not seen any old age this year, among the four eunuchs, he is the oldest, but he also has the best mentality.
"Brother Shou, will the Tang people really sell these things to you?"
The two countries of Qi and Tang had very few exchanges with each other, but after Chen Shou took power, they exchanged envoys with each other, and the exchanges were more frequent.
Last time, Emperor Gengyuan died, and Tang even sent an envoy to mourn, which was the first time in the world.
These old people in Daqi, the impression of the Tang people is still stuck in a few decades ago.
Except for the occasional overly amazing poems, everyone is actually very unfamiliar with everything in the Southern Tang Dynasty.
"Godfather, don't worry, the Tang people are profit-seeking, they don't dare to sell, they can only not make money."
Chen Shou is not miscalculated, Datang has dominated Jiangnan for so many years, except for the lack of armament, they lack nothing, they lack the market.
Daqi is a huge piece of fat in their eyes, and if they can open this market, it will be an amazing source of wealth.
"It would be great if I could buy it." Although Miao De is old, he is very clear about these things. What Daqi lacks, there is no better understanding than this living fossil.
"Food is gold in troubled times, and with food, it is easy to recruit soldiers. We have a lot of heroes and powers, why do we dare to resist the imperial court, it is because they have grain in their hands, and when they have food, they have soldiers and horses. ”
While the two of them were talking, there was a knock on the door outside, "My lord, they are here." ”
Chen Shou sat up straight and said, "Let them come in!" ”
