Chapter 4 Turning Decay into a Magical Old Butler
East Lake, that's not ......
Zhen Jiang was stunned for a moment, but she didn't intend to disturb Liu Bei's interest, maybe Liu Xuande would be able to prepare for this winter?
The coachman agreed.
The carriage slowly drove away from the Zhen Mansion, and the Zhang family, who was originally said to be a little troublesome and needed time to deal with, came out of the gate of the Zhen Mansion at this time, and it seemed that what she had just said was not credible.
It seems that the Zhen family can't wait to push their daughter out.
But it's also a matter of thought.
A character like Liu Bei, now in his prime of life, can start from scratch and build the land of Sizhou as his base among the Han Dynasty, this kind of strength can really be proud of his peers, of course, it can't be compared with the lucky reincarnation of the emperor who was born.
What's more, Liu Bei doesn't have a wife yet, although Zhen Jiang may not be accepted as a wife by Liu Bei's subordinates after being a businessman, it doesn't mean that it's completely impossible.
So everything still has a chance, there is still a possibility, the Zhang family naturally raised her hands and feet to approve of her daughter's marriage into the General's Mansion, if it wasn't for that lack of reserve, she was even willing to send her daughter directly to the General's Mansion and get married that night.
But this is also an exaggeration, if Zhen Jiang doesn't like Liu Bei, she won't force Zhen Jiang to be sent to the General's Mansion, no matter how ruthless the Zhang family is, it is also a woman, although sometimes women are more ruthless than anyone else, but there is also a saying that the mother is just right, from Zhen Jiang has not yet married at this age, and all marriages depend on her own willingness, it can be seen that in fact, the Zhang family still loves these daughters.
After all, no matter how you say it, there are only a few of them left in this Zhen family, if she still doesn't care about these daughters, then what's the point of her working hard to maintain this huge Zhen family?
Zhen Jiang followed Liu Bei in the carriage in the direction of East Lake, but chatted about common things, the first to speak was Liu Bei, Zhen Jiang didn't know how she should chat with Liu Bei, she was worried that if she asked about war and military-related things, it would be easy to be mistaken for interfering in the military and stealing secrets.
Although Zhen Jiang has no experience in this area, she still knows a lot of details that should not be touched.
This road is not far, and it is all in Yecheng.
There is one to say, to be reasonable, to tell the truth.
When the old housekeeper heard that Liu Bei wanted to set the date location in East Lake, he was not ready.
Even as Liu Bei's strongest love support group, the head of the love logistics group of the General's Mansion, the old housekeeper didn't expect that Liu Bei would choose to go to the ghost place of East Lake to see goldfish in the winter.
In this winter, not to mention that there are still goldfish in East Lake that have not moved, shouldn't the water in East Lake have long been frozen?
And the lake pavilion above the East Lake, how could it not be cold on such a large piece of ice?
But what can be done? Now I can't say to the master who is chatting happily with the eldest lady of the Zhen family in the carriage, ah, master, the place you set is not feasible, we haven't made too many preparations, so let's change places, right?
Regarding the matter of falling in love, the old housekeeper who is well versed in this knows that if he does this at this time, he will basically lose the image of the master in front of the eldest lady of the Zhen family.
But if the master arranges it this way, then he can only use East Lake to create a better output environment for the owner.
But what about this?
Go to East Lake to see goldfish in winter?
Looking at the ice?
After thinking about it, the old butler knelt in the coachman's ear and instructed him.
From this time on, Liu Bei's carriage began to circle around Yecheng, but fortunately, Liu Bei was single-mindedly engaged in chatting with Zhen Jiang, and he didn't have his hands free to repeatedly open the curtain to observe whether the changes in the outside environment were fixed.
However, the strength of the general's mansion master's love logistics regiment will naturally not be too cheap.
Although they are going around in a circle in Yecheng, the coachman's superb map memorization skills have written down the street structure of the entire Yecheng, and they are walking through most of the streets of Yecheng without repeating it.
And taking advantage of the time temporarily gained by this method, the old housekeeper quickly got out of the carriage, and explained that the head of the guard must protect Liu Bei, and someone must always block both sides of the carriage window to prevent the master from inquiring, and he quickly rushed back to the general's mansion, took the servants of the general's mansion, and took all the guys who could be brought to Donghu, and the old guy did not forget to find someone to ask Mr. for a greeting.
Which gentleman?
Who else can make the people in the General's Mansion directly respect Mr.?
Chen Chen, Mr. Xiao Chen, the servant regiment of the General's Mansion have been discussed, and as there are more and more staff advisers under Liu Bei, in the future, when Chen Chen and Guanli pass, everyone will call Chen Chen Mr. Big.
It's status.
While waiting for Chen Chen's advice, he led people to East Lake to start preparations.
Not to mention, compared to other small attractions in Yecheng, East Lake does not need to be cleared at all, where does anyone come here to fight the frost in winter?
If you want to say what are the coldest places in Yecheng right now, then this East Lake must be one of them.
The old housekeeper rushed to the East Lake and stood by the lake and looked at it.
Good guy, sure enough, it has formed a thick layer of ice, and it is estimated that this ice may not be able to be smashed with a trebuchet.
When the old housekeeper looked at the ice, he also saw a few carp frozen under the ice, and it seemed that the thickness of the ice was not thin.
In fact, Chen Chen forgot to remind everyone that from the historical record of another time and space, these years are the classic Xiaoice River period.
It is said that the Xiaoice River period seems to be linked to the death of the country and the chaos in the world, this time the Xiaoice River Han died, and the Xiaoice River after a thousand years, Daming forgot, two powerful dynasties with clear representation of Han culture, both ended in the Xiaoice River period.
It's quite normal, because during the Xiaoice period, when various production technologies were not developed in ancient times, there was no way to resist at all, and they could only endure the past, and this loss of food, resources, and population was inevitable.
And if a dynasty does not have a good way to resist this kind of disaster, it can only become a test, and a strong dynasty will be greatly weakened because of this natural disaster, and if it happens that the country itself is also in turmoil, then the death of the country is basically a certainty.
However, Liu Bei fell in love and took his girlfriend to see a goldfish or something, but he didn't need to take into account the glacial period.
Because although the war in the four northern states has just passed, Liu Bei has developed and accumulated in Taiyuan for so many years, and he is waiting for this moment of hegemony, and the reserves of food resources are quite sufficient.
In addition, the various minerals developed in the Taihang Mountains, as well as the relatively safe coal that has been treated, can still ensure the temperature to a certain extent, of course, these measures are only to reduce losses.
If you really want to survive this natural disaster period unharmed, you still need to temporarily stop the war, develop people's livelihood well, and use that all-round increase to offset the negative impact of natural disasters under Chen Chen's natural skills.
It may be possible to manage the four northern states well for ten years, and it will still be able to restore the level of the strong Han Dynasty.
However, it is estimated that those guys in the south and Lu Fengxian in the west will not give them a chance to recuperate for ten years.
However, how could Liu Bei be afraid of such a thing as war?
After solving the big trouble of Yuan Benchu, we can now get through this cold winter in peace and stability, and when we start spring next year, many policies and guidelines can be carried out with the elite troops scattered everywhere.
This winter, Chen Chen and the others are busy, don't think that they can rest and rest when they return to Yecheng and pacify the four states, and they don't even have to go to work.
There are a lot of things that need to be studied this winter, and if you can, you will even have to make local policies that are adapted to the conditions of each state, which is called adapting to local conditions.
Having said so much, in fact, the news of the old housekeeper's request for help reached the Chen Mansion, and when it arrived in Chen Chen's hands, this guy was still enjoying Cao'er's massage and Yan'er's music, anyway, there was no one else in the small hall in the inner courtyard, and the three of them could play as much as they liked.
"What? Is Xuan Degong in love? ”
Chen Chen looked at the letter sent by the old housekeeper, and looked incredulous, Xuan Degong, a straight man of steel who is dedicated to his career, is also starting to fall in love?
I thought that for him, only the base was feelings? This is a good thing, in this way, Xuan Degong will not always think about asking himself out to play chess and chat, drink tea and drink, and play around when he is bored.
"Tut-tut-tut......"
Chen Chen ate a grape that Cai Yan fed him, and he was feeling that these grapes could be preserved in an iced way until winter, and when they were sent to this Yecheng, it was completely a second-generation image of a drunken and gold-obsessed man.
In contrast, Chen Chen imagined that at this time, Liu Bei should be trembling in the carriage to deal with the chat of the eldest lady of the Zhen family, afraid that every sentence of the answer would shed a string of sweat beads?
The more he thought about it, the happier he became, Chen Chen actually began to gloat at Liu Bei, not a minister.
Play for fun, make trouble, don't take asking for help as a joke.
Although Chen Chen has been happy, and he has been happy with Cao'er and Cai Yan, he still did things beautifully.
He asked the old housekeeper to send someone to test the solidity of the ice surface of the East Lake, it must be safe enough, and then asked someone to find two pairs of flat-soled shoes, put wooden planks on the shoes, and then throw them to Liu Bei and they just play with themselves.
This method is relatively rare, and the old butler has seen this kind of play for the first time.
However, this is also convenient, and someone was quickly sent to get it done, and the East Lake environmental renovation plan that the old housekeeper had been personally supervising was almost done, and he asked people to take him to find the carriage that was still circling around the city, and sat back next to the coachman, indicating that he could go to the East Lake.
"Today's carriage is very slow, and in terms of time, it should have arrived at East Lake a long time ago."
The matter of being alone with Zhen Jiang and the two of them talked about so many things that Liu Bei had never dared to imagine before.
It's not that Liu Bei isn't so lively, but Liu Bei has never talked to a woman about his own affairs alone, from childhood to adulthood, from a ranger to a general in Beizhong, and now he can simply proclaim himself a general.
At first, Liu Bei didn't really understand how he should make Zhen Jiang happy, but he found that when he was telling his legendary story, Zhen Jiang's eyes were as bright as stars, and he seemed to be intoxicated with his legendary life, and he could completely feel the charm from himself.
"Maybe this will allow me to listen to the story of Xuande Gong for a while."
Zhen Jiang's eyes were firmly locked on Liu Bei's face.
When she met her at home for the first time before, although she also felt a wonderful fate, she seemed to remember the man who suddenly won Yecheng, but this time, she was really intoxicated by Liu Bei's story.
For women, there are three types of men who will be attractive.
The first type, a man with a lot of money and hundreds of millions, a rich country, or a very powerful man, there are many women who have no way to refuse, of course, if it is a woman whose principles are strong to the extreme, she may be able to resist that temptation.
The second is versatile, if it is said that thousands of dollars are external objects, then men with countless talents can have a dazzling performance anytime and anywhere, and few women can resist the charm of a man who has been shining.
The third type, that is, a man with experience, if a man is a bowl of wine, then a man who has more experience is a bowl of good wine with a lingering aftertaste, after in-depth contact with such a man, if the resonance point is the same, the three views do not deviate, then women basically can't escape the palm of these experienced men.
It's a coincidence.
Although Liu Bei has never been in love much, and when he was a dog and horse before, he didn't often go to the land of smoke and willows, but Liu Bei accounted for all of the above three.
So such a long conversation and story sharing in the carriage made Zhen Jiang completely fall into the trap that Liu Bei unconsciously arranged.
She is trapped in this man's past, and she will naturally follow him into the future.
"Master, it's here."
Before they could tell any more stories, the old butler's voice came from the front of the carriage, although it sounded a little breathless?
Liu Bei didn't have time to think, he took a coat made of precious bear skin that he had hunted in the Taihang Mountains from the carriage, handed it to Zhen Jiang, and let her wrap it tightly, he actually regretted it after saying Donghu.
But the gentleman said that the horse was difficult to chase.
I can only count on the old housekeeper to do his best, so I can take a look at it and go back to the house.
But when Liu Bei helped Zhen Jiang step through dozens of steps and climbed to the observation deck of East Lake, he was stupid.
This......
Old housekeeper.......
It's a miracle!
Put it in the game of Go, that is to turn one stinky move into a god's hand!
He slowly looked back at the old butler with a subtle expression, and gave the old butler a thumbs up with a sluggish and shocked expression, this gesture of admiration for Chen Chen's learning.
The old housekeeper smiled slightly, bowed to Liu Bei in return, and his eyes signaled him - go in love!
Roger that!
Nodding, Liu Bei pointed to the fairyland-like Lake Pavilion in front of him, and gentlemanly extended an invitation to Zhen Jiang.
"Miss Zhen, please."
