269 Choices (I)
After Balf left, Chen Zeyi stayed quietly in the room for a long time, Chen Guangrong came back from the outside supervision, saw two jars on the table, stepped forward to open them, sniffed the smell, and said: "Good royal jelly, where did the sixth uncle get this thing, I have been looking for it for a long time in Black Rock City, but I haven't found such good things." ”
Now there is no sucrose, so honey is a good seasoning, and the original taste of royal jelly is a bit strange, but if it is processed by a chef, it is a very luxurious tonic and a condiment to various snacks and sweet drinks. Some poor commoners don't know what it's like to taste sweet all their lives, and the little nobles can only afford ordinary honey, and the storage of royal jelly is one of the small criteria to measure the heritage of a big nobleman.
The nobles of the Aurora Kingdom generally love to drink sweet soup, like mung bean soup, lotus seed soup, etc., these things do not put some honey into it, the taste is not good, and the big family will also mix some royal jelly to nourish the body, which is not only healthy, but also high-grade.
"Chen Xiansong sent it!" Chen Zeyi said.
Chen Guangrong sighed, a little surprised: "He actually took the initiative to send something over, and it was royal jelly, it seems that he spent a lot of thought, is he showing favor to us?" ”
"Gestures? This is a demonstration! Chen Zeyi snorted a little, and said helplessly: "Our supply of snow salt has changed from 250 kilograms per day to 200 kilograms. ”
"Why! We've made a contract! Chen Guangrong shouted, and then lowered his voice: "Although he didn't let us pay any high price, this business is cheap for us, but in business, where is there a reason to regret it!" Sixth uncle, did he say any reason? ”
If you don't experience it, you don't know the way! Chen Guangrong now knows the hard work of making money. Now there is a good business, and you can make a lot of money a day in bed, although it is only said that you have lost one-fifth of the goods, but the profit generated by this one-fifth of the goods is enough to hold a family.
"Chen Xiansong asked his butler to come and tell me, let me guess for myself."
Chen Guangrong was a little distracted: "Isn't this bullying?" Where to guess! ”
"You can guess." Chen Zeyi said slowly: "We just learned from the village woman that he had an unknown green square crystal in his hand, and it hasn't been more than three hours since he gave us a warning, and it is obvious that this matter makes him feel unhappy. It's normal for families to infiltrate each other, as long as they don't do too much. Everyone turned a blind eye, but they didn't expect Chen Xiansong to rub a little sand in his eyes. ”
"That's it?" Chen Guangrong said a little unwillingly: "Fifty kilograms of snow salt a day, a month, is not a small amount." The amount of snow salt that was already known to the clan suddenly decreased by one-fifth. I'm afraid that those old things will make irresponsible remarks, Sixth Uncle, you have done so many things for the clan. They don't miss you at all. But when you make a small mistake, they catch it, and sometimes I feel like a lot of people are deliberately targeting you. ”
"I did something wrong when I was younger, and they remember! It's just a belated punishment. Chen Zeyi smiled and said, "But about snow salt, we say that Chen Xiansong is here for some reason. The production is less, and the amount of goods distributed to us is also less...... Anyway, when they are out of the house, they are so far away from a country, and they don't know the details. With two hundred kilograms of snow salt shipped back, they should have snickered. ”
"In addition, those villagers who were bribed by us, let them stop the plan, it seems that Chen Xiansong's control of this place is more solid than we imagined, and it has only been a long time before he received the news." Chen Zeyi thought for a while and continued: "Guangrong, you will bring a roll of five-color satin brocade in a while, and then bring those jade cloud inkstones, as well as painting paper, to visit Chen Xiansong, make amends to him, and tell him vaguely that these things will not happen again in the future." ”
"But we only have the last roll of five-color satin brocade, and besides, those jade cloud inkstones, aren't they the treasures of your heart, Uncle Six? When I send it out......"
Chen Zeyi smiled: "That day, I accidentally saw Chen Xiansong's inner thumb and the inner middle finger of the index finger with a thick callus, which is obviously a feature of long-term penmanship, and it must be a long-term use of our Aurora Kingdom's gray hair, the barbarian quill pen is different from ours, and will not produce such a cocoon." ”
"What does that mean?" Chen Guangrong has no experience in this area.
Chen Zeyi said: "This shows that Chen Xiansong is at least proficient in calligraphy, and giving him Yuyun Yan is not buried." Maybe you can do what you like and send us another 50 kilograms of snow salt a day. Of course, this is only the best possibility. ”
Chen Guangrong immediately went to the treasury to prepare the gifts needed to earn the gift and apologize. On the other side, Chen Xiansong started a little and was also a little worried. Bai Qianxin came back, he was not injured at all, of course he was happy, but the news he brought back was not very good, the other party was strong and strong, the real problem was those skeletons in human skin, Bai Qianxin thought that he could only deal with two at the same time, if there were more...... But now I don't know the number of the other party.
"I knew that I should have transported those equipment to the underground research institute ten days ago to recharge, but now, it's too late, it will take a few days to come back, because of my appearance, they will definitely feel that the intelligence is leaking, and it is very likely that they will attack in advance." Bai Qianxin sat opposite Chen Xiansong and said with some concern.
"We can evacuate!" Bai Min suggested.
Chen Xiansong shook his head: "If we go, the enemy will definitely vent all his anger on the villagers, and it is very likely that the village will be slaughtered." So we can't go. Also, we don't need to be so pessimistic, at least those skeletons have a weakness, which is the weapon I forged out of green flames...... The matter of Qingxi City, and the same happened to Mu Ori that time, they were very jealous of my Odin Holy Sword, and Xiao Min's Triangular Army Thorn. ”
"That's easy!" Bai Qianxin suddenly became happy: "If you want to talk about speed and strength, Xiao Min and I have a lot of them, but their energy use methods are very weird, which makes people have a headache." ”
"In the next few days, I will build your giant sword and tower shield from Sister Qianxin, and help Xiao Min get two long swords." Chen Xiansong stood up: "But we need a lot of materials, it's time to spend money." ”
"Balf!" Chen Xiansong shook the golden bell on the desk and said to the people who came in: "You first go to the mercenary union in the city to issue a task, and buy a large number of exorcism stones in my name, one kilogram and one gold coin, as many as you want." Then he went to the city lord's mansion to invite Ze Long'er to come over, saying that there was something very important to discuss with him. ”
Seeing that Chen Xiansong said very solemnly, Balf knew that something big was about to happen, so he immediately nodded and set off.
And Chen Xiansong thought about it for a while, let Bai Min and Bai Qianxin stay in the room, and went to Catherine's room alone.
Catherine was sewing her daughter's clothes in the room, and when she saw Chen Xiansong come in and close the door, her heart jumped. More than ten days ago, at the round table, Bai Qianxin's words were still in her ears, she stood up, subconsciously took two steps back, a little embarrassed, and a little shyly said: "Your Excellency Chen Xiansong, is there something wrong?" ”
"Well, that's a very important thing." Chen Xiansong nodded, and then pointed to the side of the bed very quickly: "Can I sit here?" ”
He was not to blame, for Catherine's room did not have much furniture, except for two chairs, one on which she sat and the other with fabric. There was no place to sit, and Chen Xiansong was frank, so he asked such a sentence that seemed normal to him, but to Catherine's ears, it was obviously implied.
"Your Excellency......," Catherine rushed to the window like a thief, closed the curtains, and said nervously, "it's not good, it's still daytime...... And Sith is right next door, which I don't really like! ”
Although Catherine is not as beautiful as Bai Qianxin and Bai Min, on the whole, she is also a rare beauty, coupled with her mature style, as well as the posture of wanting to refuse and welcome at the moment, and wanting to say that she is still ashamed, ordinary men will not be able to control it. Now the atmosphere is very warm, although Chen Xiansong also had a physiological reaction at this time, but he held it and said: "Ms. Catherine, I think you misunderstood, I came to you, I really have something to ask you." ”
Catherine breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but glance at Chen Xiansong, blaming him for causing her to be frightened, and her heart was beating: "If Your Excellency has any questions, just ask, I know everything, and I will say everything." ”
"About Sith!" Chen Xiansong was silent for a while, and said: "In the past, when Sith was a child, that is, before the age of eight, did she have a fever and sleep for several days? ”
Catherine's eyes widened: "Your Excellency, how do you know the Dao?" Indeed, when she was four years old, Syth fell seriously ill, had a terrible fever, talked in a daze, did not eat, and was in a coma for several days, and I thought she would not survive...... My husband had died by then, and I thought, if Sith is gone, I won't be alive either! ”
Remembering the scene, Catherine's eyes turned slightly red. Chen Xiansong can imagine that a widow who has been lying in bed for a long time, her only desire to survive is to watch her daughter grow up every day, but this daughter is almost gone.
According to Muori's statement, they were 'born' in the Hilary tribe and must have a mental battle with the host, and the obvious characteristics are coma and high fever......... Now that the evidence was in hand, he felt compelled to talk to the little one.
Ask her what she's up to! (To be continued......)
