……

Early the next morning, Chen Xu got up and washed up, and just started to eat breakfast, he heard the guards come to report that Xiang Liang and others, who had a conflict in the theater yesterday, came to visit.

Chen Xu slowly ate two bowls of rice and lotus seed soup, ate two spring rolls, washed his hands and rinsed his mouth before ordering: "Call them in!" ”

"Yes!" The guards left, and after a few minutes, they came in with two burly and tall middle-aged men and Xiang Yu, still carrying a package in their hands, and after entering the door, the two sides bowed to each other, and after a few words of greeting, the guests and hosts sat down, and the maid of the hotel quickly brought the tea and retreated.

"Old man Xiang Liang, this is my third brother Xiang Bo, this Xu Gongzi has already recognized, it is Liang's nephew Xiang Ji, the word Yu, yesterday night I didn't know Xu Gongzi's noble face, so I rushed to the nobleman, today I came to apologize, because I was young and ignorant, and I asked Xu Gongzi not to blame!"

Although Xiang Liang's attitude seemed sincere, his words were slightly arrogant and blunt.

"Hehe, Xiang Gongyan is serious, a certain is also the first time to come to Wuzhong, yesterday's incident was an accident, not worth mentioning, Xiang Gongzi is young and vigorous, I heard that he has a great reputation in Wuzhong, and he actually wants to meet and pay a visit, the so-called don't fight and don't know each other, we also know each other, isn't it fate!" Chen Xu said with a faint smile.

"Xu Gongzi said so, the old man is also relieved, I will go to the county guard to apologize later, so it is inconvenient to disturb Xu Gongzi to play Wuzhong Yaxing, wait until the evening Xiang is in the hotel to be the east, invite Wuzhong gentlemen and celebrities to accompany him, and drink to relieve his suspicions, and please Xu Gongzi do not want to resign, these gifts are regarded as reparations, and please Xu Gongzi accept them!" Xiang Liang stood up and gently pushed the package on the table in front of Chen Xu.

"Xiang Gong is too polite, so warmly invited, Xu is better to be respectful, and he must go to the banquet on time in the evening!" Chen Xu stood up with a smile, and after the two sides bowed to each other again, Xiang Liang and the others retreated.

This so-called door-to-door atonement lasted less than three minutes.

During this period, only Chen Xu and Xiang Liang said four sentences.

Xiang Bo and Xiang Yu did not speak, and there was no superfluous expression on their faces.

Sure enough, he is a strong person, this will be a real headache for Jijun, and the most headache is probably Jiang Heng.

If you want to govern Wuzhong well, it is completely impossible to suppress these local snakes.

The Xiang clan is deeply entrenched here, and it is certainly unlikely that the Xiang clan will have the same strategy as fooling Liu Bang and others.

But if Xiang doesn't leave, this will always be like a bomb, and unexpected situations may happen at any time.

Seeing Xiang Liang and the three of them walk out of the small courtyard, Chen Xu opened the package on the desk, which contained three 10,000 yuan Huaxia money bank redemption tickets, as well as a few exquisite jade pendants and some gold, all of which were worth a lot of money, no less than 50,000 yuan.

On the surface, this apology is not insincere.

50,000 yuan is definitely a lot of money in this era.

But this also reflects Xiang's bearing and family property that cannot be ignored.

Although the state of Chu is gone, and Xiang Yan has been dead for eight or nine years, the Xiang family is still a very large family and power in Chu, at least there is no shortage of money, and this kind of family is the most difficult to control.

You should find a way to mess up Xiang's mess......

Chen Xujing sat on the chair and pinched his chin and thought about it repeatedly.

"Sister-in-law, how do you arrange it today?" Jiang Chuxing brought Xiao He, Liu Bang, Cao Shen and Zhou Bo to inquire about Chen Xu's arrangements.

Chen Xu pointed to the package on the table and said to Zhou Bo: "These are gifts sent by Fang Cai Xiang to apologize, you take it first, since it is not easy to come to Huiji, you must go to visit the scenery of the five lakes, I heard that the lake is rich in a kind of hairy crab, which is more fatty than the lake crab in Weishan Lake, so go and taste it today!" ”

"Hehe, it's so good, the spicy crab made by Xu Gongzi tastes unforgettable, and I must have a good meal today!" Xiao He and the others' eyes lit up instantly, and they hugged Chen Xu out of the door.

Zhou Bo looked at the several large redemption notes and gold and jade pendants in the package, and quickly tied the package close to his waist and followed behind without saying a word.

Wuzhong is surrounded by intertwined rivers and lakes.

There are nearly 300 large and small rivers that flow in and out of Taihu Lake alone, in ancient times, Taihu Lake was called Zhenze, and Zhen was thunder in the gossip, so it is said that Taihu Lake is a large Ze caused by the arrival of thunder in the ancient period, and this legend is not groundless, because later geologists also speculated that Taihu Lake was a crater smashed out by a huge meteorite, and the time of meteorite landing was 50 million years ago, because a large number of meteorite sputtering and impact materials were found in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Since the ancient Chinese called Taihu Lake Zhenze, it means that the ancient people knew that this big lake was split by a giant thunder from the sky, and the possibility of studying it is very small, and it can only be based on the oral tradition of the ancestors, so according to the time speculation, there should have been a civilization in China 50 million years ago, and the time when the great god Fuxi created the gossip was at least before this time, otherwise the name Zhenze would not have been left, so some people speculated that Fuxi belonged to the previous generation of civilized races that had been annihilated on the earth.

In contrast, the mass extinction of the dinosaurs, the time was 65 million years ago, the asteroid impact on the earth led to the extinction of more than 80% of the earth's species, and because of the violent collision of asteroids, a large number of volcanic eruptions and sea water surges on the earth flooded a large amount of land, and even led to changes in the earth's orbit and inclination, the land drifted and fragmented, the sky tilted to the northwest, and the earth subsided to the southeast, which is very different from the geographical environment recorded in this strange book of mountains and seas.

At present, Zhenze is renamed the Five Lakes, the water area is thousands of square kilometers, and it looks similar to the sea at the moment, and the lake shore is surrounded by a large area of rice fields and mulberry fields formed by the successive dynasties, so the people along the Taihu Lake are relying on the mountains to eat the mountains and rely on the water to draft, relying on the rivers and lakes of the Taihu Lake basin to form a unique environment and characteristics of the water towns in the south of the Yangtze River.

Since he had met Xiang Yu in advance, and through the summary of various news, Chen Xu also had a general understanding of Xiang's power in Wuzhong and Xiang Yu's personality attributes as a little overlord, so Chen Xu did not plan to continue to investigate secretly, and decided to take a good tour of the scenery of Taihu Lake, taste the special aquatic products of Taihu Lake, and wait until the evening to go to the Five Lakes Hotel for a banquet to see how Xiang showed their muscles.

Since ancient times, there has been no good banquet, last night the two sides drew their swords to each other, listening to Xiang Liang's apology, it is estimated that this banquet has a little bit of a horse, a family that doesn't even pay much attention to the county guard, naturally will not put him, a little-known teenager, in his eyes, and may use this to humiliate him.

However, in Chen Xu's opinion, the Xiang clan was a little too arrogant, but at the same time, he also lamented that the Great Qin Empire's control over the counties was indeed too weak, and the local officials could not suppress these nobles of the first six countries at all, resulting in the situation getting a little out of control.

This is true of the county seats, and even more so of the towns below, almost all of them are under the control of the local gentry and townsmen.

However, these are not the problems that Chen Xu needs to consider at the moment.

Even if these nobles of the Six Kingdoms are arrogant and domineering, but now the First Emperor is still alive and jumping around, in this way to constantly show his developed chest muscles to those nobles of the Six Kingdoms who are ready to move, and where the emperor passes, the dragon has to coil, the tiger has to lie down, and other birds, beasts, insects and snakes can only hide in their nests and tremble, and occasionally one or two will be pinched into powder in an instant.

Taihu Lake is very large, the blue waves are vast, Chen Xu and others found three big boats by the lake, invited the local fishermen to row a boat, and then bought a few large baskets of Taihu Lake hairy crabs in the hands of the fishermen, one is bigger than a fist, the hairy on the claws is like wearing a pair of bear skin elbow pads, it looks very majestic and domineering, and at the same time with three points of cuteness.

At noon, when it was the hottest time, I rested in a farmhouse near the shore of the lake, borrowed pots and pans, and made several flavors of hairy crabs with the green onions, ginger, garlic mustard and oil and salt sauces brought, steamed, salted, spicy, boiled, anyway, several large pots of hairy crabs were placed under a big tree in the yard of the farmhouse, and more than 20 people had a beautiful meal with the accompanying guards, of course, I invited the owner of the farmer's family to also eat a meal.

"It's so cool~"

After resting for half an hour, a group of people set off to play in Yangcheng Lake, and on the way, they also bought hundreds of catties of dried chicken head rice, water chestnuts, white shrimp and dried whitebait from local fishermen.

Dried whitebait is a local specialty of Wuzhong, the largest is only more than ten centimeters, but the whole body is snow-white and almost transparent, the body is slender like a wide noodle, although this goods are long and good-looking, but it is a ferocious predatory fish, belongs to migratory species, can live in seawater and fresh water, likes to eat small fish and shrimp and plankton in the water, the meat is firm and particularly chewy, especially after drying, it is very fragrant, it is a very delicious leisure snack and side dishes with wine, so it is quite popular with the locals.

Chen Xu has not eaten it before, but this time I liked it very much after tasting it twice in Wuzhong, and the yield of this fish is very large, the local fishermen use fine bamboo nets to fish, and they can get several catties at a time, which can be sold and dried as dry food, so Chen Xu will play all the way and buy it when he sees it, and when the sun is about to set and return to the Wuhu Park, the accompanying guards and horses are tied with large and small linen wraps, most of which are dried whitebait, and these are all taken back. You can eat all winter in Xianyang this winter.

In this era when there are no melon seeds and peanuts, this kind of thing is the best snack for chattering and pastime, and it tastes much better than eating cookies and candies.

After a day of playing horses and boats, Chen Xu felt like he was about to fall apart when he returned to the hotel, but he was happy and painful, this kind of fun was something he had never experienced before, all the original natural scenery, the lakes and rivers without the slightest pollution, and there were all kinds of melons, fruits and aquatic products that could not be eaten along the way, it was indeed a refreshing travel experience to the extreme.

But the premise is to have money, if you don't have money, you can only be like those tanned fishermen, holding the boat all day and night in the lakes and rivers to work hard, every day to see this landscape has long been tired of seeing.
