Chapter 394 A friend came from afar

"Her temperament is like this. She was like this when I was in the Ouyang family. She was cold to everyone." Fu Yan seemed to be not very familiar with this young lady.

At that time, he was just a student in Ouyang's family, but Ouyang Yunxiu was the eldest lady in the family, so they knew each other well, and they didn't have much contact with each other.

But Xiao Chen always felt that Fu Yan was hiding something from him.

"Wan Chun, what is the meaning of the joke you told me that day?" I remembered Fu Yan's weird behavior that day.

"That's what it means, why isn't it funny?" Fu Yan said.

"Funny is funny, but..." Xiao Chen thought it was quite funny, but if he was the 'drugs' in the joke, he wouldn't be funny either.

"Boss, haven't you eaten yet? Let's have a drink together today." Fu Yan changed the subject, making Xiao Chen even more suspicious.

This guy must have something to hide from himself!

From the early morning of the next day, there was an endless stream of people coming to visit. Isn't this the Lantern Festival? They all came to give gifts.

Especially those small officials in the DPRK usually don't have the chance to curry favor with Xiao Chen, they can get acquainted by giving gifts during the festival.

It doesn't matter if you don't see Mr. Xiao, as long as he knows that we have been here, and being able to meet Duan Linger, Xiao Ye, Fu Yantie, Kunlun and others is also a worthwhile trip.

It is not easy to make friends with them.

"Oh, we won't be able to finish eating so many things until next year's Lantern Festival!" Duan Linger looked at the courtyard full of gifts and felt worried.

"Otherwise, let's just send them out." Tie Kunlun said.

"Aren't we going to go out of the city to set off fireworks at night? By the way, hire a few more carts and take all these things out of the city to share with the surrounding people. Let's say it was a reward from the emperor and empress." Fu Yan said.

"Wan Chun is thoughtful, so I'll do it like this. By the way, you can help me pick out some good wine, sauce and meat. I will be useful later." Xiao Chen said.

What is it for? Several people are strange.

"Go and pay homage to the crown prince, it's quite pitiful for him to be alone in the mausoleum." Xiao Chen said.

After seeing Xiao Chen for a whole day, everyone was annoyed, and when he ordered to go down and come again, all the people politely refused, saying that my lord was not feeling well and was resting.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he lay down and was about to take a nap, Fu Yan pushed the door open and came in, "Boss, we have a visitor."

"Didn't I say that I don't see anyone... Who is it? Which prince or minister is here?" If it wasn't an important guest, Fu Yan wouldn't bother him.

"No, they are from Dongying." Fu Yan glanced at the greeting card in his hand, "It seems that the officials are not young, there is one Zhong Na Yan, two Shao Na Yan, and a woman, Boss, can you see me?" ?”

"Oh? Let's meet then." Xiao Chen regained his energy when he heard it, "Open the middle door and let Linger fire the cannon, and I will greet you personally when I change into my clothes!"

"Understood, do you want to keep them for dinner?" Fu Yan asked.

"That's a must! Friends come from afar, wouldn't it be nice to eat?" Xiao Chen said.

A few Dongying people were waiting outside the door, when they heard the loud bang bang bang in the courtyard, they were all startled.

I rely on us to visit on a friendly basis. If you, Mr. Xiao, don't see you, you won't be bombarding us with cannons, right?

In fact, this is an ancient etiquette in China, and firing cannons is a sign of great respect for the guests!

It is equivalent to the current salute.

Of course Xiao Chen's family didn't have any cannons, but fortunately there was a cannon battle, so it was the meaning of asking Xiao Ye and Ling'er to release a dozen of them casually.

Immediately after the middle door opened wide, a group of tall and mighty men in red robes and black armor came out and separated from the two sides with a clatter. Clasping fists and clasping hands, laughing loudly...

"Nishimura Shicun, Nayan Nishimura of Dongying Kingdom, Yonggang Kinoshita of Shaonayan, Shimogawa Shenmu of Shaonayan, Nako Kudo, a maid in the harem, and meet Master Xiao!" The four Dongying people bowed to Xiao Chen together, properly Ninety degrees.

"Aiya, the officials from the Allies came to visit, the small humble house is really full of splendor! In fact, I should be the official to visit you, but what's the reason for being one step ahead of you?" Xiao Chen also returned the salute one by one, very courteous.

Please enter the living room and take your seats.

"Come here, serve tea, serve good tea!" Xiao Chen ordered loudly, "Prepare another good banquet, today I must get drunk with a few distinguished guests!"

"Lord Xiao, we are just here to visit, please don't be too polite, there is no need for a banquet." Nishimura Zhicun stood up and bowed deeply to Xiao Chen to express his gratitude.

He is about forty years old, not tall, neither fat nor thin, but there is a streamlined look all over his body.

Zhong Nayan is quite a high official in Dongpu. In terms of rank, it is roughly equivalent to the Zuo Shilang of the Rites of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but his position is much more important than the Minister of Rites.

Nishimura Zhicun was also the leader of the mission, which shows that the Dongying people still attach great importance to this visit.

Shaonayan is somewhat similar to the Hanlin of the Great Zhou Dynasty, or in the affairs, some do not hold specific positions, and some participate in their major affairs in the court as a staff officer.

As for the servant named Kudo Nako, the maidservant of the harem, she is equivalent to the head of the twenty-four prisons in the Great Zhou Imperial Palace, and the servant is equivalent to the palm print eunuch, on the same level as Gong Shouli...

Because there are no eunuchs in the Dongying Imperial Palace, these inner palace officials are all women.

The responsibilities of Shangshisi are also very different from those of the Licensor. They are mainly responsible for court affairs inside and outside the palace, and various palace etiquette and other affairs. Generally, such female officials are very honorable, and most of them are appointed by princesses from the families of ministers and ministers. selected.

"It's Mr. Xicun, you are too polite!" Xiao Chen said loudly, "Come here, unload all their carriages and horses for me, and treat the people who come with them well, I won't obey you unless you are drunk!"

"Master Xiao Chen, you are really..." Nishimura Zhicun and the others looked at each other, a little overwhelmed by Xiao Chen's excessive enthusiasm.

"The Emperor Shenzhao of your country is in good health, right?" Xiao Chen stood up suddenly, and raised his hands high with a serious face, expressing his deep respect for their Emperor Shenzhao.

The few also stood up and bowed quickly, thank you Lord Xiao for your greetings, our emperor is very good...

But they all secretly muttered in their hearts, is this Xiao Chen sick with Bageyalu?

This was a surprise.

"Mr. Xicun, you all condescend to give up, but do you have any official advice?" Xiao Chen then returned to the main topic.

"No, we're just visiting privately," Nishimura Zhicun said hastily.

"Then I don't worry, I will toast you a few glasses later... Miss Kudo Nako is so beautiful, I don't know if you can drink?" Only then did Xiao Chen carefully look at this Dongying woman. I was pleasantly surprised to find that she looks really pretty!

Big eyes, round face, short hair, white skin like snow, slender waist and long legs,...very plump,...very upturned...why does it look familiar?

Seems like I've seen her in a movie...
