Although it is said that it is a small year. Although today's food is naturally different from the past. But for the royal palace. These are naturally not used as staple foods. And actually. Even today's days are different. But here. Something at the dinner party. It's a bit of a cookie-cutter thing. Three sentences are inseparable from a wine word.

Speaking of Sichuan's famous wines. Naturally, I have to mention. That has a history of more than 1,000 years Mianzhu Jian Nanchun. From the Tang Dynasty during the Wude period. It has the name of Jiannan burning spring. Of course. It's not about wine culture or anything here. Merely. It seems that this Shu King's performance today is more interesting than before. Last time. These people get together for a drink. But it can only be regarded as a drink at best. But today's formation. It looks like he wants to get drunk with everyone present.

Zhang Fan didn't know how good Zhu Xuanqi's alcohol was. But looking at the maid standing next to her, there were several large jars of wine beside her. Frankly. Zhang Fan was also a little stunned.

"Several. But this king is slacking off. Zhu Xuanqi looked excited. Said. "Several of them are members of the court. I didn't drink less of the best imperial wine in the palace. However, there is a lot of wine here. It's not that it's reluctant. It's just that it's very rare. It's hard to have fun. I have no choice but to entertain you with the good wine of this southwest place. If any of you think it's wrong. But it doesn't hurt to say that. This king won't care. ”

"The prince is polite." The first to speak was Wang Xilie, who was sitting on Zhu Xuanqi's right hand. "Don't tell the truth from the prince. This time I came to Sichuan. Although there is a holy decree of His Majesty. But this looks like the New Year is coming. To be honest, none of us are willing to do so. But now it's good. Spend this year in the prince's mansion. It's a real honor. Wang Xilie's words. It's all flattery. He was in order to flatter Zhu Xuanqi. He even said that he didn't want to do the holy decree of the imperial court. And that's not all. He's not just talking about him. Even everyone else who is doing it is counted.

But now. Naturally, other people would not bother with Wang Xilie about these things. After all. This is also true. Actually, they just don't want to come. But the emperor's destiny is here. There is no way to do it. And it turned out. If you say that you have been living in that simple post house for this year. Even in Shudi, the climate is warmer than that of the capital in winter. But these people's hearts can't be warmed up. Now. Able to spend the New Year in the palace of the king of Shu. Naturally, these people are happy in their hearts. So. After listening to Wang Xilie's words. They didn't say anything against it. Even his expression didn't show any displeasure. Everyone agreed with Wang Xilie's words.

"Lord Wang spoke politely." Zhu Xuanqi said. "But let's talk about it. A few adults can live here. But it is also a blessing for this king. This Shu Wangfu. I think a few people have already seen it for so many days. In fact, the king lives here. Almost nothing. Even if it is to deal with the political affairs of the fiefdom. But in fact, those things have nothing to do with 'politics'. It's all trivial.

"After a few adults moved in. The king was overjoyed. And it doesn't seem to be idle on weekdays. Especially Master Zhang. The king will thank you. In the past few days, I have been able to accompany the king to play chess and talk. Let's be honest. These days the king of Japan is even happier than in previous years. I used to find someone. But he is afraid of the identity of this king. Don't talk about these things. Even speaking on weekdays seems unnatural. It's better to be Zhang. At least it makes this king very comfortable. ”

Zhu Xuanqi's words. The people present did not have any external expressions to react. But in fact, these people have been tested by officialdom for a long time. The pit in my heart is deep. Or rather. These people have been through too many things in officialdom in the past. Even if the other party said something else. They also have to take the initiative to lean on other meanings.

Zhu Xuanqi's words. At first glance, it sounds. It's talking. How boring my daily life is. And the arrival of these people. Because there is still a gap in identity. But it's not a world of difference. Speaking is also relatively smooth. It won't be so writhing anymore. It's kind of a relief for him. Especially Zhang Fan. I can play with him every day. It was a real pleasure.

But these words. There is another layer of meaning. Or the other way around. There's only one sentence in it. That is. I'm talking about these people. Some of them are inferior. It doesn't matter what they're like when they're in the capital. Even if Zhang Fan faced the emperor. It is also able to talk and laugh. But that's a matter of the capital after all. It has nothing to do with him King Shu. And even their status is very high in the court. But for Zhu Xuanqi. They are courtiers after all. Even he, Zhu Xuanqi, faced the emperor. He is also a courtier. But he is the blood of the Zhu family. Innate estrangements cannot be bridged. And now he said that Zhang Fan could be so comfortable in front of him. Or do you just say that they despise him?

Of course. These words. I'm afraid that even Zhu Xuanqi himself may not mean that. As the saying goes, though. "There is nothing in the world. Philistines disturb themselves". Maybe it didn't mean anything else. But these people have ghosts in their hearts. I think a lot. Now I hear Zhu Xuanqi say this. Naturally, I don't think I'm talking about them.

But. Although I thought so in my heart. But seeing Zhu Xuanqi's indifferent look. Even after saying this. His expression hasn't changed much. Still smiling haha. Everyone felt that it was just their own heart.

"The prince smiled." Then. Zhang Fan, who was sitting on Zhu Xuanqi's left hand, spoke. "The prince is the king of one place. But Weichen talks to the prince every day. But there is no distinction between dignity and inferiority. It's a sin. Zhang Fan obviously thought of this as well. It's just that he said this. But it's so casual. It seems like it was supposed to be a sinful thing. But in Zhang Fan's mouth. But it's so lightweight. It's as if it's just a mistake that isn't even a mistake.

And heard Zhang Fan's words. Zhu Xuanqi was stunned. Then there was laughter. While laughing. He was still beckoning everyone present to drink.

Zhang Fan's words. It made everyone present breathe a sigh of relief. Originally. The crowd was still worried. Zhu Xuanqi said so. Isn't it meaningful? And then. Zhu Xuanqi laughed. Let everyone understand. Zhang Fan was fooled. Didn't expect it. Zhang Fan's words. It was so easy to resolve a seemingly very serious problem. Of course. can have this ability. In the final analysis, there is only Zhang Fan now. After all, he is dealing with Zhu Xuanqi on weekdays. So. This is only appropriate for Zhang Fan to say. If it had been said by someone else. I'm afraid it's going to backfire.

"But then again." Zhu Xuanqi persuaded him to drink. He said. "I didn't think of it. Master Zhang is also very good at chess. The battle against this king was evenly matched. It's really painful. This king is thinking. If it is a year later. Your Excellency has returned to Beijing. This king is about to lose such a chess friend. It's really reluctant. ”

"The prince has been lifted." Zhang Fan said such a thing helplessly. Chess profound. How about your own chess skills? Zhang Fan himself knows best. Piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. Speaking of which. Zhang Fan is most proficient in calligraphy. And painting together. Although it has also been slightly studied. You can also say some sermons. But after all, it is not Zhang Fan's best ability. Compared to a master like Feng Bao. That's a big deal.

As for the two things of piano and chess. Zhang Fan is not a person with different rhythms. It's just that he's been coming from 500 years later. Speaking of which, the things I come into contact with are really different. This makes Zhang Fan interested in ancient music. Although it won't be said that it is bad. But really say what you like. It's a lot worse.

And as for this chess game. For this one. The so-called chess also refers to the game of Go. Zhang Fan had never been in contact with Go in his previous life. And in this life. Even the original Zhang Fan. Since I was a child, I was just busy reading. Playing chess is such an elegant thing. It's never too late to start practicing when you're successful in your career.

But that's all that has been said. All in all. That is to say, Zhang Fan is a stinky chess basket. And for this. Zhang Fan is very self-aware. He knew very well how good he was at chess. Ultimately. That is, just knowing the rules of Go. How to play chess.

And the same. Facing Zhu Xuanqi. Zhang Fan also knows how Zhu Xuanqi's chess skills are. How to describe it. If Zhu Xuanqi is also a stinky chess basket. Seems too disrespectful. But in reality, that's pretty much the case. Zhu Xuanqi's chess skills. It's really not much higher than Zhang Fan. Other words. Zhang Fan and Zhu Xuanqi are half a catty to eight taels. It's a big difference.

Therefore. Before Zhu Xuanqi said that the two of them could fight equally. Actually, there's nothing wrong with that. Both are at a similar level. Naturally, there is no distinction between up and down when playing chess.

And. Where are the two of them playing chess? Basically, I'm just looking for an opportunity to speak. And what the two said. That is, if you want to find out about the other party. So. The two had no intention of playing chess at all. Basically, they are thinking about how to pull the conversation to the things they care about.

And there is. How to deal with the questions thrown by the other party. Fool it around.

Other words. Two people play chess. It's all in a state of distraction. Originally, the chess skills of the two were so bad. I'm still distracted. But it's back to the starting point. The two of them are still very different.

In this case. Tonight's feast is already more than halfway through. And Zhang Fan is still worried about what the progress is going on over there.
