Chapter 369 Gift
Chu Lixuan also woke up, and he was happy to see the Zhenbei Army and the North Vietnamese mission in chaos in the space.
"Xinxin~ wake up and watch the show." He knew that she liked to watch the fun the most.
Jiang Xinyan opened her confused eyes. She was too excited last night and went to bed very late. Fortunately, the speed of space is different.
By this time, I had slept enough for eight hours. "Husband, what's the matter?"
"Xinxin, they are all saying that the horses were eaten by wild beasts." Chu Lixuan did not expect such a result.
He thought that the King of Zhenbei would say that the North Vietnamese envoys had eaten it and then put the blame on them. If he had known that they would think of being eaten by wild beasts, they would have brought in more last night.
"What? Who is so imaginative that he was eaten by a ferocious beast? If we had known this would happen, we would have stunned thousands more horses last night! Haha..."
Jiang Xinyan woke up completely and quickly put on her clothes. Chu Lixuan immediately stepped forward to help her button the buttons.
He was so sweet in his heart that her thoughts were surprisingly similar to his every time.
After buttoning the button, he kissed her on the forehead. Before washing, he knew that she didn't want to kiss him, and Chu Lixuan would not make her unhappy.
At this time, King Zhenbei came out refreshed and asked, "If you don't go to training early in the morning, why are you arguing at my door?"
Everyone: "..."
It was almost lunch time, and it was still early in the morning? Otherwise, they would have already finished breakfast because they had been looking for horses.
Li Yanlin stepped forward and told them that North Vietnam had lost its horses, cattle and sheep, and added their guesses.
"A wild beast has come down the mountain? Li Yanlin, think about what countermeasures you have to deal with the wild beast. Leng Yue will call the generals to come to the conference hall for discussion."
King Zhenbei still attaches great importance to security and defense. He didn't feel hungry even if he didn't eat anything this morning.
When the second prince saw King Zhenbei going to discuss matters related to wild beasts in such a hurry, he thought that they had lost horses, cattle, and sheep.
"Your Majesty, let's discuss it together."
"Then let's go together!" King Zhenbei felt that we were discussing dealing with ferocious beasts, not North Vietnam, so it didn't matter if we went together.
Zhao Yu wanted to find King Zhenbei early in the morning. When he heard that Beiyue had lost its horse, his instinct was that their master was here.
Therefore, he told Uncle Cheng, "I told Xuanyuan Chen about the exchange of grain yesterday. Just wait here until King Zhenbei sends someone to exchange."
"Brother Zhao, are you going back?" Chu Liu'er had studied martial arts with Zhao Yu for a period of time.
"Well, you want to go back too?" Zhao Yu previously wanted to take Chu Liu'er, a clever young man, with him.
It was their wife who said that Chu Liu'er was smart and suitable for business. If nothing else, they had grown a lot of grain, so they would definitely have to exchange it.
"Is it okay? This exchange is of no use." Chu Liu'er said with a slumped head.
"You did a very good job in this exchange. I will definitely not blame you. Then you can go back with me first."
Zhao Yu didn't want Chu Liu'er to be hit. This time it was mainly the North Vietnamese princess's fault, so let her experience the consequences.
"Thank you, Brother Zhao. Uncle Cheng, I'll spare your trouble here. I'll go back with Brother Zhao first." Chu Liu'er instantly felt as strong as a chicken's blood.
"Brother Six, don't worry and go back! There isn't much left to do." Uncle Cheng had heard his youngest son say something about Chu Liu'er before.
Cheng Xianping said reluctantly: "Sixth brother, please be careful on the road, we will go back soon."
He also wanted to go back, but the food exchange hadn't been completed yet, and his three-legged cat kung fu couldn't keep up with them.
"Brother Cheng, you should also be careful. You'd better not mess with Concubine Li, a ruthless and unjust person." Chu Liu'er said still worried.
"Xuanyuan Chen already knows that you are his relatives. I told him last night. He really didn't know before. I think he really wants to recognize you."
Although Zhao Yu himself is not close to family members, he also has extravagant hopes for family ties.
"Thank you, Master Zhao. If Xuanyuan Chen wants to recognize us, just recognize us. Xuanyuan Shuang has already recognized us." Uncle Cheng said gratefully to Zhao Yu.
Zhao Yu took Chu Liu'er away. Cheng Xianping was a little sad at first, but he heard that Xuanyuan Chen wanted to recognize them, and he was a little expectant.
"Dad, do you think what Mr. Zhao said is true?"
"Master Zhao, there is no need to lie to us. Your cousin Xuanyuan Shuang likes your mother and you so much. Xuanyuan Chen may also like you."
Uncle Cheng, who had received the true biography of his father, Taifu Cheng, still had some ability, but he was just a scholar and was born at the wrong time and had no chance to show it.
"Dad, I prepared gifts before I came here. If my cousin comes to see me, I will give them to him." Cheng Xianping said happily.
"Oh! You have prepared a gift? No wonder you are sad because you didn't recognize your relatives. Do you think it would be shameful not to give out gifts?"
Uncle Cheng joked about his eldest son, saying that they have a very good relationship between father and son, and a good relationship between husband and wife. Although they are poor, they are a happy family and enjoy hardships.
The gift prepared by Cheng Xianping is a nine-ring chain, which is a traditional folk intellectual toy of the Dongchen Kingdom.
The nine-ring ring is made of nine rings made of iron wire. The rings are set on horizontal boards or various frames and run through the ring handles.
When playing, by repeatedly operating according to a certain procedure, the nine rings can be unlocked separately or combined into one.
Youzhou is too poor. There was no iron wire before. Someone who owns a nine-ring toy is very awesome.
Cheng Xianhou had one when he was a child. By the time Cheng Xianping became sensible, it was broken and the Cheng family could no longer afford it.
Listening to the envy and regret in their eyes when they recalled, Jiang Xinyan asked Luo Yansong to make a lot of things for the children to play with. Almost every child in the castle had one.
There are also teenagers. Cheng Xianping naturally has no access to Luo Yansong and the others. He wants a new one to give to Xuanyuan Chen.
It was through his brother Cheng Xian'an that he got it for him. Regardless of whether Xuanyuan Chen liked it or not, the Nine Links was Cheng Xianping's dream toy anyway.
"Dad, I asked Brother An to find a beautiful nine-link ring made by a master." Cheng Xianping carefully took it out and showed it to his father.
"Ping'er, the gift is mainly about your heart. Besides, this nine-link ring is indeed exquisite. Your cousin will definitely like it."
Uncle Cheng liked it very much after taking one look at it. Mr. Chu had so many skilled craftsmen with unique ingenuity.
The things they made were different, especially the farm tools they used were unprecedented, practical and beautiful.
The third uncle Cheng and his son were thinking about Xuanyuan Chen, who was currently discussing important matters with his father and the generals.
"The second prince and the others didn't hear any movement even when they were close. My subordinates thought it was a big beast."
"My subordinates don't think it's a big beast because the footprints around it are not big." Everyone expressed their opinions and sought common ground while reserving differences.
King Zhenbei roared: "None of you saw the wild beast? Are you confident that the wild beast ate it? There must be traces of the wild beast when it comes down the mountain."
