Chapter 394: A Friend Comes from Far Away
"Her temperament is like this, when I was in the Ouyang family, she was like this, and she was cold to everyone." Fu Yan didn't seem to be very familiar with this eldest lady.
At that time, he was only a disciple of the Ouyang family, but Ouyang Yunsleeve was the eldest lady in the family, so they knew each other, and they didn't have much contact.
But Xiao Chen always felt that Fu Yan had something to hide from him.
"Wan Chun, what exactly did you mean by the joke you told me that day?" remembered Fu Yan's strange behavior that day.
"That's what it means, isn't it funny?" Fu Yan said.
"It's funny, it's funny, but ......" Xiao Chen thought it was funny, but if he was the 'dregs' in the joke, he wouldn't be funny.
"Boss, you haven't eaten yet, have you? It's okay today, let's have a few drinks. Fu Yan diverted the topic, which made Xiao Chen even more suspicious.
This guy must have something to hide from himself!
Early the next morning, there was an endless stream of people coming to visit, isn't this the Lantern Festival, all of them are here to give gifts.
Especially those small officials in the DPRK and China usually don't have the opportunity to talk to Xiao Chen, and they can get acquainted with each other by giving gifts during the holidays.
It doesn't matter if you can't see Lord Xiao, as long as he knows that we have been here, and it is not worth the trip to be able to meet Duan Ling'er, Xiao Ye, Fu Yantie, Kunlun and others.
It's not easy to get to know them.
"Oh, we won't be able to eat so much food until next year's Lantern Festival!" Duan Ling'er looked at the gifts all over the yard and was worried.
"Otherwise, we'll all send it out." Iron Kunlun Road.
"Aren't we going out of the city at night to set off fireworks? By the way, hire a few more carts and take these things out of the city to share them with the surrounding people, and say that they are rewarded by the emperor and the queen. Fu Yan said.
"Wan Chun is thoughtful, so it's done, by the way, you help me pick out some good wine, sauce and meat or something, I'll be useful when I turn around." Xiao Chen said.
What is it for? A few people are strange.
"Go and worship the prince, it's quite pitiful for him to be alone in the mausoleum." Xiao Chen said.
Xiao Chen was bored with everyone after seeing it for a day, and when he asked to go down and come again, all of them politely refused, saying that Lord Ben was unwell and resting.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down and was about to take a nap, Fu Yan pushed the door and came in, "Boss, there is a visitor." ”
"Didn't I say I didn't see anyone...... Who is it? Which prince and minister is here? If he wasn't an important guest, Fu Yan wouldn't have come to disturb him.
"No, it's a few Dongying people." Fu Yan glanced at the greeting note in his hand, "It seems that the official is not small, one is a middle boy, two are young, and there is a woman, boss, can you see it?" ”
"Oh? Then let's meet. Xiao Chen came to his senses as soon as he heard this, "Open the middle door, let Ling'er fire the cannon, and wait for me to change my clothes to greet me in person!" ”
"Understood, do you want to keep them for dinner?" Fu Yan said.
"That's a must! Have friends come from afar, don't you want to eat? Xiao Chen said.
Several Dongying people were waiting outside the door, and they were startled when they heard the loud bang in the courtyard.
I rely on us to be a friendly visit, if you don't see Lord Xiao, forget it, you won't bombard us with cannons, right?
In fact, this is the etiquette of ancient China, and firing a cannon is a sign of great respect for the guests!
It's the equivalent of a salute now.
Of course, Xiao Chen doesn't have a cannon at home, but fortunately, there is a cannon battle, so just let Xiao Ye and Ling'er put a dozen of them.
Immediately, I saw the middle door open, and a team of tall and mighty, strong men in red robes and black armor came out, separating the two sides in an uproar, and a young man wearing a python robe and jade belt walked out quickly, and he hugged his fists and laughed from afar......
"Dongying National Middle School Nayan Nishimura Shicun, Shao Nayan Kinoshita Yonggang, Shao Nayan Shimokawa Shenmu, Harem Maid Official Kudo Nako, meet Lord Xiao!" The four Dongying people bowed to Xiao Chen together, a proper ninety degrees.
"Oh, the AIA officials are here, and the little humble house is really shining! In fact, it should have been the official who went to visit you, but unexpectedly you were one step ahead, what is the reason? Xiao Chen also returned the salute one by one, and he was very courteous.
Please come into the living room and take your seats.
"Come on, serve tea, serve good tea!" Xiao Chen ordered loudly, "Prepare a good banquet on the table again, I have to get drunk with a few VIPs today!" ”
"Lord Xiao, we're just here to visit, please don't be too polite, and if you have a banquet, you won't need it." Nishimura Shicun stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Chen to express his gratitude.
He was about forty years old, not tall, neither fat nor thin, but he had a lean air all over his body.
Zhong Nayan is not a small official in Dongying, and his level is probably equivalent to the left waiter of the Great Zhou Rite Department, but the position is much more important than that of the Rite Department.
Nishimura Shiku was also the leader of this mission, which shows that the people of Toying still attach great importance to this visit.
Shao Nayan is somewhat similar to the Hanlin of the Great Zhou, or in the affairs of the people, some do not hold specific positions, and some participate in their major affairs as staff officers.
As for the Shang Attendant Division where the official Kuto Naiko of the harem is located, it is equivalent to the head of the twenty-four eunuchs of the Great Zhou Palace, and the Shang Servant is equivalent to the palm seal eunuch, on the same level as Gong Shouli......
Because there are no eunuchs in the Dongying Palace, these inner palace officials are all women.
The duties of the Shang Attendant are also very different from those of the Celebrant Supervisor, they are mainly responsible for the court meetings of the women inside and outside the palace, various palace etiquette and other affairs, generally the status of this female official is very noble, most of them are selected from the princesses of the minister's family.
"It's Nishimura-kun, you're too polite!" Xiao Chen said loudly, "Come here, unload all their carriages and horses for me, and the people who come with me will also give me a good reception, I won't follow if I don't get drunk!" ”
"Lord Xiao Chen, are you really ......" Nishimura Shicun and several people looked at each other, all of them were a little overwhelmed by Xiao Chen's excessive enthusiasm.
"Your country's Shenzhao Emperor is also in good health, right?" Xiao Chen suddenly stood up and raised his hands high with a solemn face, expressing his deep respect for their Emperor Shenzhao.
A few of them also hurriedly got up and bowed, thank you Lord Xiao for your greetings, our emperor is very good......
But they all muttered secretly in their hearts, is this Xiao Chen sick from Bageyalu?
This one was shocking.
"Nishimura-kun, you all deign to be resigned, but do you have any official affairs?" Xiao Chen got back to business.
"No, no, we're just private visits." Nishimura said busily.
"Then I'll rest assured, and I'll give you a few glasses later...... This Miss Nako Kudo is so beautiful, I don't know if you can drink? Xiao Chen took a closer look at this Dongying woman, and was pleasantly surprised to find that she was really good-looking!
Big eyes, round face, short hair, white skin like snow, thin waist and long legs,...... Very busty,...... It's very warped...... Does it still look familiar?
I seem to have seen her in a movie......
