536 Marriages
The customs of the East and the West are different, take the hospitality of guests as an example, the Oriental habit of entertaining guests with wine and dinner, Oriental people, especially the Chinese, like to put everything on the table to talk, after three rounds of wine, strangers will become familiar, the progress is fast and even yijing is called a brother, the chest beats loudly, it seems that nothing is a problem, but often this kind of one-time wine and meat friends are not reliable, and the feelings are also the effect of alcohol.
The banquets of Westerners are mostly social, wandering around with wine glasses, greeting people, chatting about homely things, and promoting feelings.
However, there is a rather strange scene in the banquet prepared by the empire today, that is, the four guests of the Chinese Federation really focus on the food, not to mention how the beautiful girl stuffed the food into her stomach, how much food did Lei Zhe and Tully, who acted as guards, eat, just the appearance of the Son of Heaven of the Federation made people want to complain, these four people had no etiquette at the dinner table, and the bowl was not finished before the chef was urged to serve the food quickly, and Yinshi and Lei Zhe even staged a scene of grabbing food.
The vegetable juice was flying, and the wine was drunk bottle after bottle, these four really shook off their cheeks and opened their back molars, and the food was like the flowing water of the Yangtze River, like the wind and clouds, as if they were pouring dirt into a box, and the imperial nobles who attended the banquet that night were dumbfounded, and they really didn't know what to say.
Compared with the surprise of the nobles, Charles was very bland, he sat opposite Lei Zhe, the wine glass in his hand kept shaking, and he looked at the four opposite with a smile on his face: "The banquet has just begun, you don't have to work so hard, just say what you want to eat, I will let the chef in the back make it for you." ”
"Huh? zhende? Then give me some steamed lamb, steamed bear's paws, steamed deer tail, roasted duck, roasted chicken, roasted goose, braised pig, braised duck, sauce chicken, bacon, Songhua tripe, dried meat, sausage, assorted Su Paner, smoked chicken white belly, steamed eight-treasure pig, Jiangmi stuffed duck, canned pheasant..." ”
"Uh, you really like to laugh, even if you make these things, can you eat them?" To be honest, Lei Zhe's series of dish names stunned Charles, and finally he shook his head and asked a little funny.
Still lowering his head and pulling food into his mouth, Lei Zhe didn't even raise his head and said, "Huh? Eat, of course, even if you give me a steamed eu, braised Britannia, I can eat it, don't look at me so thin, my appetite is quite large, and more importantly, I can digest it after eating, and I never waste food. ”
Although his mouth was full of food, Lei Zhe's words were clearly heard by the people around him, steamed eu, braised Britannia, this is simply treating the two forces as a dish, and this one actually said that he could eat it, where did he get so much confidence, and more importantly, except for the four of them, the rest of them are all Britannians, is it deliberately mocking?
"Oh? I don't know what the steamed eu tastes like, but it should be very good, but braised Britannia is a little difficult, because this dish is full of bones, aren't you afraid that this bone will get stuck in your throat, you can't swallow it, you can't spit it out? ”
"How is it possible, with the next iron fang, not to mention that Britannia is made of bones, even if it is covered with ten layers of turtle shells, I can bite it."
Charles and Lei Zhe didn't seem serious, but there were all kinds of ridicule hidden in the words of both sides, but when they said this kind of thing, they both smiled, and when they saw their performance, they pouted directly when they bit the silver of the chicken leg in their mouths: "Two hypocrites." Then he lowered his head and continued to eat, while Razer and Charles didn't seem to hear him talk to himself, still talking and laughing beside him. …,
Just as the two continued their nourishing conversation, Conelia, who was difficult to wear in full costume, appeared at the venue, this heroic royal sister was indeed brilliant when she was dressed up, coupled with the heroic spirit cultivated by her military career, which made many young nobles present look straight.
"Father, respected Son of Heaven, good evening." Diameter came to Charles's side, Cornelia saluted the two, Charles smiled and nodded, and Lei Zhe raised his head and smiled at Cornelia, at this time his cheeks were spine, his left hand held a half-gnawed chicken rack, and in his right hand he held a bottle with half a bottle of wine left, and the oil on his mouth was still glistening in the light.
Standing up, Lei Zhe threw the chicken rack directly into the bowl of Yinshi, wiped his greasy hands on his body, and then raised his right hand: "Princess Cornelia tonight is really beautiful, you attracted everyone's attention as soon as you appeared, do you see, those young people have lost their souls because of your beauty." ”
"Thank you for the compliment, you are also handsome tonight." Cornelia raised her hand and shook hands with Lei Zhe, who seemed to be not enjoying one hand, grabbed Cornelia with both hands, and then rubbed her greasy hand on the other hand, and when she left, Cornelia's white gloves were stained with yellow oil.
But this royal sister doesn't seem to care, the smile on her face has not faded, this kind of thing is completely trivial to her, she has lived in the military camp for many years and has not been exposed to anything, not to mention these oil stains, even if Lei Zhe throws a bunch of bloody internal organs on her, she will not blink, let alone panic.
Motioning for Conelia to sit down, Charles spoke, "Thank you very much for coming to Britannia for your vacation, it's our pleasure, Xiwang can have fun here for the rest of your days." ”
"Haha, I don't need you to say that I will also enjoy it, to be honest, I am not suitable to be an emperor, I am blinded by some things all day long, fortunately, there are many people around me to support me, otherwise I really don't know how to go down, now that the Federation is on the right track, I can finally relax, and when I leave Britannia, I plan to go to the EU to see, and then go to Arabia, Japan, Australia or something, walk more, experience life."
"You're so good at joking, if you're not fit to be emperor, then I'm even more unsuitable, the Federation has been restored to this level in just six years under your leadership, and I don't think anyone will be able to surpass your great deeds for hundreds of years to come."
"You lift, I'm just making a small fuss, plus this point is nothing, I want more than this, don't you think it's a bit redundant for this shijie to have three major countries?" Lei Zhe's words made everyone present stunned, why did this son of heaven suddenly get involved in this issue, Charles is also a little strange, is tourism just talking and playing, does he really want to cooperate with the empire to deal with the EU?
"Your Majesty Charles, don't you want to taste what steamed eu tastes like...?" Lei Zhe smiled, laughing a little weirdly, and then he stopped talking and continued to lower his head to eat his own things, and his words also let the people who participated in this banquet know that this person really did not come here to relax for simple tourism, he said it very directly, he wanted to unite with the empire to deal with the eu and divide the other party.
"If I have the chance, I'll try it."
Charles nodded, which indicated that he was willing to cooperate with Lei Zhe again, and he had a hunch that this cooperation with the Federation would not be like in 09, eighty percent of the EU would disappear from this shijie soon after the future, and the three major powers would become two superpowers, and there would be no more eu on this shijie.
"Speaking of huilai, the Son of Heaven is also eighteen years old this year, it stands to reason that Yijing should marry a wife, why is he still single now?"
"Huh? Wive? I? Are you kidding? I don't have that in mind right now, don't you think it's more free to marry a wife or something than to be single? And I prefer a one-night stand to the so-called marriage, there is no long-term relationship between the two parties, just an instant spark and a base relationship, and the next day when they wake up and cool down, they go their separate ways, and when they meet again, they may nod and smile and greet each other, maybe something will happen again, but don't you think it's more interesting? ”…,
Lei Zhe spread his hands and said, and his bold remarks once again made the people around him look at this son of heaven, and a one-night stand can be said so justifiably, you are against the sky, fortunately, there are no reporters tonight, otherwise the image of the Federation will be ruined by this person, but many nobles also think it is very interesting, an emperor who likes a one-night stand? I don't know how other people will react if the news spreads.
"Moreover, I also have a fiancée, and more than one, such as the current foreign minister, the female general who contributed to Australia, and the two female hosts in the federal news, they are quite good." Lei Zhe said again, it was the first time that he had made his relationship with Nero public, and many nobles knew at this time why this son of heaven did not get married, because he had many excellent fiancées.
"Speaking of huilai, why are you asking this, do you like to inquire into other people's private lives?"
"You think too much, in fact, what I want to say is that Cornelia is now 20 years old, but she is still single, so I think since you are also single, it is better for you to make a marriage contract, I think Cornelia will not let you down."
Charles's words immediately shocked the other nobles, although he just said that he was engaged, but to put it bluntly, it was to let Conelia marry Reizer, if this marriage was successful, it would mean that the empire and the federation would be one camp from now on, even if the two sides wanted to annex each other, for the sake of Conelia, they would refrain from it, and this marriage would be equivalent to setting up a layer of insurance for the empire and the federation, although it was only temporary.
Everyone's eyes were on Lei Zhe, and they were waiting for the answer of the Son of Heaven.
