Thang Long City, on the shore of Hoan Kiem Lake, originally belonged to Nguyen Van Xun's house, but now belongs to Ye Kai.

Because Ruan Wenxun's house is very quiet, the terrain is also high, and it is close to the north gate of the palace, which is very suitable for Ye Kai as a residence.

As for Nguyen Van Xun, Ye Kai gave him a larger Hoan Kiem Lakeside mansion in exchange.

Although he had become the de facto lord of North Vietnam, Ye Kai still did not live in the imperial palace of the Li Dynasty.

First, it is because it is too eye-catching, and secondly, because Ye Kai is still a little uneasy about the eunuchs and palace maids in the palace, after all, these people have always served the king of the Li Dynasty, and maybe there are a few 'loyal ministers' among them.

Of course, Ye Kai was not afraid that they would be poisoned, because Ye Kai easily did not eat the food they provided, and some people tried to test for poison before eating.

But they are afraid that they will add some 'ingredients' to their meals and tea, and add some saliva to the meal, and add something else similar to the color of the tea, can you know?

It's disgusting to think about!

So he still lived on the shore of Hoan Kiem Lake, the escort was from the Fuxing Army, the subordinate was brought from the Pingshun County Mansion, and the chef was from the Ye family from Nanyang Beifu, so he should rest assured.

"Father, there is a Han man named Deng Chenchang outside asking to see you!"

After washing up a little, Li Ashui, who took the young guard to take charge of the guard work of the mansion, hurried to report.

Deng Chenchang and Ye Kai remembered, wasn't this the person who had his nostrils facing the sky that day and didn't seem to be very gregarious with other North Vietnamese tyrants?

In fact, Ye Kai had already noticed him, because now the local tyrants and gentry of North Vietnam are hugging together, and everything that is not in place is a breakthrough that Ye Kai can win over and use, how can he not notice it?

"Come to the study, please! I'll be there right away. Regardless of being tired, Ye Kai hurriedly asked Li Ashui to invite someone.

He didn't summon Deng Chenchang privately, but he couldn't figure out whether this guy was pretending to be unsociable or really unsocial, and now it was time to verify it.

。。。。。。

"Minister, Deng Chenchang, see the king!" In the study, as soon as Ye Kai entered the door, he saw Deng Chenchang with his hands behind his back, looking like a great sage who was worried about the country and the people.

Deng Chenchang also saw Ye Kai, but unexpectedly did not put on a posture of the arrogant prince in white as Ye Kai imagined, but respectfully made a big salute, and even the prince was not called, but directly called the king!

"Mr. Maude, please get up quickly, I'm not a king yet, how can I be so gifted by Mr.!"

This kind of words, Ye Kai is becoming more and more proficient, with a moving expression, as if Liu Xuande was possessed.

The chief salute is a great gift for his subordinates to see the monarch, and Ye Kai has not yet claimed to be the king of Song or the king of Jiaozhi County, so it is okay to say that he can't bear such a big gift.

Deng Chenchang ignored Ye Kai's support, and still respectfully completed this set of bowing actions, and then stood up.

"I am not to worship the king's lord, but to worship the king's virtue, I have been in turmoil for a hundred years, since the decline of the Li family, the Mo, Wu, Zheng, and Ruan clans, it has been a hundred and fifty years, and the ministers watched the sky at night, and watched the king's actions, it is the heavens that descend from the Lord in Beiqi, and the south can be prosperous!"

Belch..! What is this road number?

Ye Kai now wants to find a mirror, he wants to see if he has the halo of the protagonist on his head.

Isn't this Deng Chen often said to be an arrogant and rude person who despises the world's talents? How do you brag yourself up?

"The king doesn't believe what Deng said?" Deng Chen Chang saw Ye Kai's hesitant expression, and his temper suddenly came up, he glared at him, and his voice also raised an octave!

This is the familiar taste, as soon as Deng Chenchang's temper came up, Ye Kai felt that it was more reasonable, which was in line with Deng Chenchang's personality in his heart.

"It's not that I don't believe it, but I know my own affairs, although Ye has a small success, but he is still far from the Holy Monarch!" Ye Kai, who was still a little proud, said deliberately and implicitly.

As a result, Deng Chenchang choked him in the next sentence, and this person rolled his eyes.

"That's natural, I say that the king is the master, but I mean that the king has the qualifications to be the master, not that the king is the master now!"

You're special! Ye Kai now has the urge to strangle Deng Chenchang to death, just now he looks like a little brother bows his head, this will be like a stubborn donkey who specializes in mocking people, no wonder Ruan Fuying in history wanted to send someone to hang him to death, not only did he have a bad temper, but he also spoke impulsively!

All right! Lao Tzu forbearance!

Thinking of the current situation, Ye Kai complained in his heart for a few seconds, of course, he still had a smiling expression on his face.

"What Mr. Maode said is, then borrow Mr. Ji's words, I will definitely try to be a master!"

As soon as Ye Kai's words landed, Deng Chenchang's expression of rolling his eyes suddenly softened, and he almost bent down to the ground with a wave of his hand.

"The king atoned for his sins, his subordinates collided with his words, just tried each other, the king is really generous, and he can be the master!"

it! Ye Kaizhen almost rolled his eyes, but he was mentally prepared not to be angry!

Where the hell did this guy come from? If you are such a guy who has not offered a single plan and has no merit, and you do this in front of other kings, there is a high probability that the lighter ones will be expelled from the lightest, and the heavier ones will be beaten with a board, and even their lives will not be guaranteed!

Dude, have you read too much about the Romance of the Three Kingdoms? There aren't so many courteous corporal kings in history, right?

But Ye Kai, since it's all done here, let's continue to act, otherwise won't the anger just now be in vain?

"Mr. Maode is a talented man in Beiqi, I am very happy when I see Mr., let's not care whether the master is known or not, Ye Mou just hasn't eaten yet, if Mr. doesn't give up, let's have a light meal together!"

Deng Chenchang's eyes lit up, "I have heard for a long time that the king's family banquet is quite delicious, and when I traveled to France, I moved my name to Taixi, and now I am fortunate to be invited by the king, so I will not refuse!" ”

Yo! is still a person who knows Europe, and he also knows that he has also been to Europe, Ye Kai has a little expectation in his heart, the Confucian scholars of this era, who are willing to understand Europe, are basically very talented.

。。。。

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, and singing and dancing, although this kind of dance is not as good as the so-called national customs dance performed in the third-rate scenic spots in later generations, Ye Kai lacks interest, but Deng Chenchang sees it with relish.

Ye Shi picked up a glass of wine and raised it to Deng Chenchang, "Mr. Maode, my food in the house can still enter the mouth of Mr. ”

Deng Chenchang, who was sitting at the bottom left of Ye Kai, hurriedly picked up the wine glass and knelt down, in this era, the king drank wine to his subordinates, which was a great favor, although Vietnam is a small country, but it is also a Confucian believer, and he cares about this very much.

"Thank you for the wine, the food here, although the dragon liver and phoenix marrow cannot be compared, it is a pity that the old mother of Deng's family loves beef very much, but she can't eat it on weekdays!"

After kneeling and drinking the wine, Deng Chen often pointed to a plate of red stewed beef brisket and said.

Beef, this is not an ordinary thing, especially in the south where there are many paddy fields, and the status of cattle in ordinary farmers is even higher than that of children in the family.

And the average family can't afford to buy a cow at all, basically a few or even a dozen families buy one, usually take turns to take care of it, and take turns to use it when the farm is busy, and let the cow eat better than people when the farm is busy, and take care of it more finely than their parents.

But Ye Kai is delicious beef in the next generation, I just said such a mouthful yesterday, coincidentally, Li Ashui came to report this morning, saying that he found a cow that accidentally fell to death, do you say it is a coincidence?

"Fu'er! Go to the kitchen and make another braised beef brisket and send it to Mr. Moude's house! ”

Li Ashui, who was accompanying the guest, nodded, and was about to get up to command, but Ye Kai suddenly stopped him.

"Zhangde is not close to here, I'm afraid it will be cold if I send it over, you let the cook take the cook to Mr. Maode's house to cook it!"

"King!" As soon as Ye Kai's words fell, Deng Chenchang left his seat, and knelt on the ground with a big bow, his voice choked.

"The king is so generous to the ministers, please retreat from the king's side, the ministers have heartfelt words, and play it to the king!"

What is Mingjun?

This is Mingjun!

Invite yourself to a banquet, frequently invite meat into wine without saying anything, even the old mother has a share in a word, and I am afraid that the cold will send the cook to the door to do it!

Isn't it that Ming Junan can be like this?

finally met Mingjun, who appreciated his talent, and Deng Chen often burst into tears.
