Chen Jian was naturally discussing the matter of the alliance with the leaders of those clans, but not long after the discussion, someone walked in, saying that the leader of Su Yue had brought some jade gifts for Xia Cheng, and that the leader of Su Yue had prepared a banquet and invited Ji Xia to come over in a while.

After the envoy left, Jian Chen laughed secretly, and said in his heart that Su Yue was also a person who used small means.

If he didn't come early or late, he came with great fanfare when he was discussing things with the leaders of the rest of the clans, which was to tell the people of the rest of the clans that he and he were on the same line.

As for whether the truth is so unimportant, the rest of the clan's people can believe it, but if they give a slap, they will definitely give a sweet date, and since Jian Chen did him so much yesterday, he doesn't know what this sweet date will be.

Several clan leaders in the house wondered if Xia Cheng and Su Cheng had secretly joined forces, and then thought of yesterday's words, and they all felt that they knew everything, so they took their leave. Either I think it's time to come back in the evening, or I don't think it's necessary to pull it down.

The matter has come to this point, it is irreparable, both sides are good at taking advantage of the situation and good at making the most of the situation, this kind of thing is unexpected and reasonable.

Get dressed and call a few people from Xia Cheng to get ready to return the gift.

"Ji Xia, what are you going to prepare? Our gifts...... There are several kinds of them, and it is better not to make a mistake. ”

Although the people who followed had never seen the miserable situation of those rats who had eaten colchicine, they also knew that the gifts prepared were good and bad, and some were even better not to touch, so they asked more.

Jian Chen smiled: "Then bring the second and sixth boxes, don't make a mistake, and don't send them first." I'm going alone, and when I need you to leave a present, you'll see if my fingers are six or two. ”

"With two boxes of gifts, leaving only one? This...... Isn't it good to let the leader of Suyue see it? ”

"It's to deliberately let him watch us leave with another box of gifts, even if he doesn't give them away, he can't sleep for two days, wondering who we want to give them to. The toad crawls on its feet, and if it doesn't bite, it will be disgusting and disgusting. ”

Jian Chen was very dissatisfied with the small action Su Yue made just now, and he was just telling Su Yue not to make this kind of small action in the future, I don't like it.

Ordered, Xia Cheng people began to sort out the boxes, these boxes are scraped with fine pine wood and then mortised with mortise and tenon glue after the wood paint, the workmanship is exquisite, at this time, even the empty box can be regarded as a valuable gift.

The gifts in the box were different, and many people participated in the production, but they didn't quite understand what they were for, but I remember that some of the utensils in the second box were very exquisite, not the color of bronze, but the color of the golden skull that was stolen from the steppe tribes.

Giving it papaya, holding it with Qiong Yao, the things that are still exchanged are much better than the common utensils of the people of Zhixia City, and many people secretly scream a pity.

Chen Jian pondered all the way about what might be discussed, and prepared ways to deal with it in advance, in short, he suffered such a big loss, it is said that Su Yue will always give some compensation, and Su Yue may not be able to know the compensation he wants most, so he wonders if he should wake up Su Yue appropriately: he doesn't want equipment and technology, he just wants a legal name.

When he was about to arrive at the house, Chen Jian put on a smiling face, said hello to the person at the door, and someone followed Chen Jian to the right, not daring to overtake Chen Jian, and led him into the house.

The room was warm, not gloomy, lit with expensive wood ash, and two slave girls were responsible for cutting the inadequately burned candle cores with small stone knives.

After a few words, Jian Chen stared at the candles, ready to open a breakthrough, holding the copper bottle and said, "Where do these white waxes in Sucheng come from?" There is no such good wax near Xia Cheng, so you can only use some beehives, which is really ugly. ”

"If Ji Xia likes it, I'll let someone send some more. This was obtained from some clans on the south bank of the Great River, where there was a species of worm, similar to the silkworm. It's just that silkworms spin silk, and they spit wax. ”

"Well, Xia Cheng's wax is always used to make molds of molten bronze, and he is always reluctant to light candles. Don't know what those two slave girls are doing? ”

"Ji Xia seems to really rarely use wax, this candle core can't be burned, it needs to be cut, otherwise it will be crooked, and the candle oil will flow."

Jian Chen drank the bottle of wine and said with a smile: "I have a way, but I can save the work of these two women." ”

Su Yue didn't care, people who could afford to use candles could naturally afford to use female slaves, it didn't matter if they cut it or not, but since Jian Chen said it, it was not easy to refuse, and said with a smile: "Ji Xia's methods are many, and I have benefited a lot from lectures in a few days." If this can come up with a way, these two female slaves will be given to Ji Xia together, anyway, Ji Xia has nothing to do, the sacrifice is old, the ancestors of heaven and earth may not like it, and it is covered with dust, and now the weather is cold, but it can give Ji Xia a warm bed. ”

While talking and laughing, the two slave girls who were in charge of cutting candles secretly breathed a sigh of relief, it didn't matter who they gave it to, just like goods, but since Su Yue said that they were not qualified to do sacrifices, it would be the best ending.

Su Yue clapped his hands, called someone to call the craftsman who made wax, told him to prepare some candles for Xia Cheng, and asked him to ask Jian Chen how to make wax.

"It's simple, you take three hemp ropes, knead them into a strand, don't use a single thread, and after you do it, you don't need to cut the candle."

The craftsman who made wax didn't believe it very much, and hesitated a little, Su Yue knew that Jian Chen was famous by lecturing, so naturally he would not spoil the scenery at this time, it was the time to sell favors, and said with a smile: "Since Ji Xia said so, it must be like this, you do it quickly." ”

After speaking, he coughed lightly, which means to try it first after it is done, if it is really as Ji Xia said, he will immediately bring it so that he can praise a few words, if not, don't appear at this banquet, just don't happen.

After the craftsman withdrew, the two of them drank a few more glasses, and gradually said that in yesterday's discussion of world view, Su Yue didn't care much about how to explain the world, but he cared about the result, and many tribes who originally thought that disaster was coming accepted Chen Jian's opinion-and before that, even the clans that had already discussed the alliance were a little relieved, and Chen Jian's words were really like charcoal.

After pushing the cup and changing the lamp several times, the craftsman came angrily, and as soon as he came, he saluted Chen Jian and said: "Sure enough, as Ji Xia said, my melted candle heart really doesn't need to be cut!" ”

After speaking, he took out a freshly melted candle and lit it nearby, and when it burned to the center of the candle, the center of the candle that was originally screwed together was released, from the lowest temperature flame center to the very high temperature outer flame, one to three, no longer upright, and turned into ashes with the candle flame.

The two female slaves were slightly stunned, the hand that was originally cutting the candle shook, the room suddenly darkened, and Su Yue shouted: "Clumsy! If it weren't for the fact that you are already Ji Xia now, you would have been punished a long time ago. ”

After the reprimand, he said to Jian Chen: "Ji Xia's idea is really wonderful, please drink this cup." ”

Chen Jian raised the wine bottle and sighed: "This method is good, but it is a fly in the ointment. ”

"How?"

"The joy of the room is nothing more than the thrush with the woman and the cutting of candles, not all on the bed. A bronze mirror, a bone comb, a woman thrush, and a flickering candle flame will inevitably ask you to cut off the candles, which is called cutting the candles under the window. She deliberately didn't cut it, she was afraid of the candle flame, and she couldn't thrush, so she had to roll on the bed, shrinking back when the candle flame was a ghost, and watching the beauty frown and scream under the flickering lamp, which had a different flavor. If the candle flame does not need to be cut, it is inevitable that the bright hall will be shy, after all, it will be less natural, and it will be blown out but you can't see it...... It's not good, it's not good. ”

Su Yue laughed and said, "This is what Ji Xia said, there are gains and losses, blessings and misfortunes." ”

Chen Jian originally wanted to use the candle heart as a metaphor for the strength of the main trunk, and the branches and leaves scattered around it could keep it as bright as the candle flame at this time, and it was best to absorb Xia Cheng into branches and leaves.

After listening to Su Yue's deliberate praise, he improvised and said, "Exactly." Yesterday's remarks certainly made many clans dispel the idea of quitting the alliance, but there are also some clans who hate Xia Cheng tightly. Xia Cheng has more than ten surnames, the ancestors originated from the big river, moved to Caohe hundreds of years ago, missed the Huacheng alliance a few decades ago, and now there are more than ten surnames with nearly 10,000 people, just hoping to be able to reunite as brothers to sacrifice their ancestors, resist Xirong as a shield, but I don't want to because of Xia's words, I am afraid that it will become a bubble in the river...... The candles don't need to be cut, so that these two female slaves have nothing to do but go to warm the bed, or they will hate me; Everyone is not afraid of guest stars, how can some clans who didn't want to meet the alliance in the first place not hate Xia? ”

Su Yue laughed and asked the two slave girls, "Do you hate Ji Xia?" The two slave girls shook their heads silently.

"That's it. Whether you don't hate, or you don't dare, it's all the same. I heard that Xia Cheng's military array was strong, and he could use the thunder and lightning to use the wind for his own use, and I heard that Ji Xia was willing to share these methods with his relatives, and the rest of the clans did not dare to hate, if not hate. What Ji Xia wants is the result of not hating, because he doesn't hate in his heart? Or is he afraid in his heart and doesn't dare to hate, does Ji Xia care? ”

"I have already discussed with the leaders of the thirteen clans yesterday, Ji Xia resisted the grassland tribes, defeated Xirong, and saved the Acropolis, even though he did not swear an oath, but did what he should do with the oath, how could such a clan not participate in the alliance?"

"Moreover, there are five surnames in the northwest such as E and Wei, and the daughter of the Yue family also follows her father's will to recommend Xia Cheng to join the alliance. Not counting those who like Ji Xia and Xia Cheng, and who have heard Ji Xia's lectures praise a lot, this is already nineteen cities. There are only more than 60 of the 71 relatives of the original alliance, and they only need to have the support of 134 cities. ”

"Sucheng supports Xia Cheng's entry into the alliance, there is wine here, you might as well swear to let the ancestors of heaven and earth be a witness. Even if the alliance is not successful, if I Su Yue does well and is elected as the leader by everyone, I will elect Ji Xia as an official as soon as possible, and if I do well, I can also join the alliance...... At the time of the Huacheng Alliance, one of the relatives was originally a barbarian, relying on the means of raising cattle and sheep, everyone benefited, and three or five years later also gave the jade cow to become a relative. With such a story, it is necessary to do it according to the routine, and this is also a last resort, you can rest assured. (To be continued.) )
