Chapter 34: Cao Cao's Congratulatory Gift (Ask for Collection, Ask for Recommendation Votes)
Looking at the wine in the cup, Cao Cao took a sip.
If there is no lesson from that person, I am afraid that he will do it directly, and the final outcome can be imagined.
Obviously, it was just a small gulp, but the hot feeling was obvious, which made him feel refreshed.
Cao Cao, as the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, drank a lot of wine.
But none of them compare.
In addition to the spicy sensation in the mouth, there is also a mellow aroma and an intoxicating aftertaste......
After drinking a glass of wine, Cao Cao was already eighty percent sure.
This wine must be made by Chen Jue, so that it can achieve such a treasure and make people obsessed with fine wine.
Qingyunzhai is really a magical place.
Not to mention others, Zhen's mother is also secretly surprised at this moment.
This wine is truly extraordinary!
Only Chen Jue is calm as usual, which is not surprising.
Produced by Qingyunzhai, it must be a high-quality product!
The birthday feast naturally continued.
The wine is endless, and the delicacies have arrived.
The crowd ate with great pleasure.
However, Cao Cao frowned slightly, and sighed in his heart:
What is this?
It's hard to swallow.
I have tried the deliciousness of Qingyun Village, and it is not uncommon to have a rarity at home, so Cao Cao naturally feels tasteless.
It's a pity that the chicken essence was put in the kitchen and I didn't bring it with me, otherwise I could have helped improve it.
Thinking of this, Cao Cao glanced at Chen Jue again.
If he hadn't cheered for him, how could he have come here to eat, but he had wronged himself.
Chen Jue, who was sitting next to Zhen's mother, obviously noticed Cao Cao's gaze, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled and surprised.
This old yinbi, why do you keep looking at me?
Does he want to......
Chen Jue hurriedly shook his head, threw strange thoughts out of his mind, and put on a serious appearance.
During the feast.
The guests finally calmed down and ignored Cao Cao's existence, making the atmosphere in the courtyard extremely eager.
After all, this is the home of the Zhen family, Cao Cao has no intention of care, just drink a little wine with peace of mind.
Most of the people who went to the banquet today were registered with gift money.
But Cao Cao was different, he only brought a gift.
But with his mind, the shot is not ordinary.
When everyone had eaten about the same, Cao Cao got up and said with a smile:
"Today's old lady Zhen's birthday, I didn't bring any gifts, so I will give it to the Zhen family."
Hearing this, everyone's eyes gathered.
I saw Cao Cao holding a long sword, and the decoration was unusually gorgeous, needless to say, it looked full of force.
But those with sharp eyes quickly saw the clue:
"This sword seems to be a gift from the Son of Heaven ......"
Someone was stunned and said:
"How is it possible, how can the Son of Heaven give away a sword?"
Someone said incredulously:
"Cao Cao gave this sword away, doesn't it represent ......"
Some people also said angrily:
"Cao Cao actually used this sword to celebrate his birthday and gave it to the little Zhen family, so he couldn't help but put the Son of Heaven in his eyes."
That is, Cao Cao, ignoring what others say.
Even seeing the guests surprised, they were a little complacent.
The gift of the sword by the Son of Heaven represents status and power!
But Cao Cao took this as a courtesy, so naturally he had his reasons.
First of all, this is the agreement between Cao Cao and Chen Jue.
In addition to the two privileges, it is to ensure the safety of the Zhen family and try not to have any accidents.
At this moment, giving a sword as a congratulatory gift is enough to show Cao Cao's attitude and make everyone jealous.
Who would dare to provoke the Zhen family who was covered by Cao Cao?
Isn't it to give away people's heads?
As for the second point, it is aimed at Chen Jue.
By giving this sword to the Zhen family, he pulled in the relationship with Chen Jue and prepared for the future.
Cao Cao didn't know what would happen in the future.
But he can say with certainty that Qingyunzhai will still exist, unless Chen Jue is completely cool.
But this is basically impossible.
Leave aside the terrifying magic.
Chen Jue's own strength is strong enough to make people feel desperate, it is an all-round crushing and hanging.
How could such a person die casually?
As for the third point, it is also the most important.
There are many gifts of swords from the Son of Heaven, but the opportunity to appear in front of people is extremely limited.
Anyway, you have to pretend to be compared when you come out, so it's still profitable.
Cao Cao thought so.
But others don't see it that way.
Zhen's mother couldn't help but change her face slightly, and said with a straight face:
"The prime minister's congratulatory gift is too valuable, so let's take it back."
However, Cao Cao shook his head and said:
"Old Madam Zhen, do you look down on me Cao Cao?"
Zhen's mother wanted to persuade again, but Chen Jue shook her head and said:
"Mother-in-law doesn't need to say it anymore, since Prime Minister Cao Cheng has made a decision, she won't regret it anymore."
At this point, Zhen's mother could only reluctantly accept it.
The guests were either resentful or envious......
How can this Zhen family have such an opportunity?
Is it because of Zhen Mi?
Someone pondered.
After all, Zhen's daughter is beautiful and fragrant, and her appearance is quite durable, and the most important thing is a woman......
Who in the world doesn't know the little hobby of today's prime minister?
If that's the case, it's so much fun.
That is, people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, if Cao Cao knows that others are slandered, the end may be very serious.
It's true that he Cao Cao is good, but can he stare at Chen Jue's people?
Before the general trend, I don't know how to prioritize.
After successfully pretending to be compared, Cao Cao smiled and said:
"Master Chen Zhai can't be stingy, Mrs. Zhen is your mother-in-law, what gift did you prepare this time?"
Originally, everyone's eyes were focused on Cao Cao.
Hearing him say this, they all stared at Chen Jue.
Chen Jue was stunned, and then said with a smile:
"The prime minister's gift is too expensive, and the owner of the village is naturally inferior, and there is no need to worry about it."
Hearing this, Cao Cao didn't believe it.
But he didn't press on.
On the contrary, some people misunderstood Cao Cao, and resolutely got up and said:
"Since you came with a congratulatory gift, why hide it, it's too boring."
Someone chimed in:
"Why do you want to shirk like this, take the gift and take a look, you won't know which is better or worse."
“……”
Cao Cao looked at these people and frowned slightly.
Could it be that these guys really think that they and Chen Jue have some grudges, right?
It's not a good thing to be so provocative.
Chen Jue was a little speechless, but he didn't react much.
Looking around at everyone, Chen Jue nodded and said:
"In that case, the owner of the village will not hide it."
The guests don't treat Chen Jue as a good person, and he doesn't bother to hide it.
The opening is 'the owner of the village', and the tone is very firm.
Someone looked contemptuous......
Some people look disdainful......
But in Chen Jue's eyes, it's just a joke.
Chen Jue is naturally full of confidence in the gifts he has prepared, why not take them out and make an appearance?
Mother Zhen couldn't help but be a little worried, she looked at Chen Jue.
However, Chen Jue said calmly:
"Mother-in-law, don't worry, the gifts prepared by the son-in-law are also extraordinary, and they may not be much worse."
If you are modest, don't be too arrogant.
Under the gaze of everyone, Chen Jue took out a wooden box from his arms, looking unremarkable.
And in the wooden box, there is a jade bottle hidden.
Many people burst into laughter.
What kind of gift is this, it's like a joke.
However, Cao Cao's eyes condensed slightly, and he became more and more curious.
What's inside?
