Chapter 935 Two functions (repair)
The emperor decided not to think that it was because he insisted on going to the East China Sea to find Duke Lu Sheng and Hou and others, and that Chen Xu was injured and almost died. He would not even think that Xiang's rebellion was also due to the emergence of the prophecy.
Although Chen Xu's statement was ambiguous and unclear, the First Emperor believed even more that Chen Xu did not lie to him.
Chen Xu said that he could not reveal the secret of heaven, so he naturally did not dare to continue to question forcibly. Moreover, Chen Xu only had Chen Xu around him to remind him that the foreshadowing of this prophecy would eventually come true. He believed that Chen Xu would not stand by because his trust in Chen Xu was almost more trusting than himself, because what he didn't know Chen Xu knew that the identity of the Immortal disciple was completely a transcendent existence and had become almost the only direction and goal for him to formulate national policies.
"Since my beloved said this, I feel a little more at ease. Because my stubbornness has caused me to suffer this disaster, I feel uneasy. I don't have to cover up some things in the future. I can advise you directly in person. I will definitely listen to my beloved's advice. By the way, I may have heard of it. When I visited Wuzhong this time, I received auspicious things, which was a huge black pearl, which is rare in the world. I have someone to take you to watch..."
Qin Shihuang stood up and gave a few instructions to the palace servant not far from the pavilion. The palace servant Yingnuo left and soon sent a treasure chest made of gold, which was placed on the stone table in the pavilion to open. Among the snow-white brocade, there was a black pearl the size of an egg, and a very halo of colorful light flashed under the late autumn sun that was slanted.
"It's indeed a good baby!" Looking at the huge black pearl of Wupeng, Chen Xu couldn't help but almost drool.
If it were placed in later generations, such a rare pearl in the world would be embarrassed to say that it was a treasure if it was not sold for hundreds of millions of yuan.
"Come on, I'm holding it in my hand and watching it carefully!" Qin Shihuang took out the pearl and stuffed it into Chen Xu's hand.
The purchase was warm and smooth, as if it was lying in the palm of the hand. The new beads saw light and emitted a natural pearl radiance. Compared with the two pink pearls he got last time, Chen Xu suddenly felt the gap between the quail and the peacock, which was simply incomparable.
"I have heard of the auspiciousness of Your Majesty's visit to Wuzhong. Now it has spread all over the world. The appearance of such auspiciousness rare in the world will inevitably foreshadow that our Qin Dynasty will flourish..."
Chen Xu was amazed while watching, and did not forget to flatter him.
When he left in a hurry and didn't see the pearl, it was not too late to make up for his regrets.
"This pearl will be given to my beloved, and I will be used to compensate me for my assassination..." Qin Shihuang reached out and closed Chen Xu's fingers.
"This... how can this be done? Since it is a auspicious thing obtained by Your Majesty, I am ashamed of it!" Chen Xu quickly refused with this big pearl that he could not even hold in one hand.
"Hey, please don't refuse. I am rich and have collected a lot of auspicious things. Many of them are collected in the Shou Palace of Mount Li. But I can't take all the things in the world. My great Qin is now prosperous and prosperous. I should accept this pearl, otherwise I will be uneasy!" Qin Shihuang looked at Chen Xu with a sincere face.
Well, okay! Seeing Qin Shihuang giving gifts so sincerely, Chen Xu refused and let it go.
If I don’t want it, such a big strange pearl would have to be buried in the tomb by Qin Shihuang. After thousands of years, it will inevitably turn into a ball of dust. Because although most of the pearls are inorganic salts such as calcium carbonate, they contain a large amount of organic nutrients such as amino acids, which actually cannot last long and will start to weather after decades. Therefore, it is better to stay on the ground.
But what can such a big pearl be used for?
Sew it on the hat as a decoration...it was still ground into powder and eaten...
Chen Xu was very confused because pearls only have two functions: one is to be used as decorations, and the other is to be used as nutritional products.
Holding this huge auspicious auspiciousness, Chen Xu sat in the carriage and shaking and shaking back home, thinking about how to deal with this thing along the way.
Even if it is such a big pearl, it is not much different from the ingredients of ordinary small pearls. It is best to keep it. However, according to Daqin's current technology, it is still very troublesome to keep it for hundreds of years, unless the utensils are vacuumed...
"Wow, what are you holding in your hand?" Xing'er, who was playing shuttlecock with Yu Ji in the yard, saw the things in Chen Xu's hand from afar. She threw the shuttlecock down and ran over excitedly. Yu Ji naturally hurriedly followed her with a slut.
Looking at Xing'er in a group of colorful clothes, Chen Xu was a little dazed in an instant. In a blink of an eye, this girl was already eleven years old. Now she is no longer the white girl with yellow face and thin skin and malnourished skin. Instead, she has become a girl with fair skin. She is also well-breasted and nutritious, and she is almost a fat girl. Yu Ji behind her is almost nine years old. Not only has she grown a lot taller, she has also become a girl with delicate and round face.
"Be careful not to fall, this is a big pearl!" Seeing Xing'er poaching the big pearl from her hand, Chen Xu quickly reminded her with a little distress.
"Wow, such a big pearl is still black. I want to sew it on the hat and take it to school!" Xing'er cheered in surprise.
"No!" Chen Xu refused in one go.
The girl grew older and had a unique status. Now she has developed a kind of a rich lady. She is born with a show-off attribute and likes to show off everything. The girls' college gathered with the daughters of a group of princes, princes, nobles and wealthy businesses. Therefore, the trend of comparison is also quite popular. It doesn't matter if she compares her. It is said that she raises a daughter in a wealthy place and raises a child in poverty. Although Chen Xu is usually strict in discipline with the two girls, she is still relatively relaxed in food, clothing, housing and use, but it is definitely not enough to bring this auspicious scholar to school to show off her wealth.
"Why can't it be? A few days ago, I saw the seventh princess carrying a big purple pearl..." Xing'er pouted.
That would be even worse!
Chen Xu frowned, Xing'er immediately didn't dare to speak, and ran to the backyard with the pearl, "I'll show it to my sister-in-law!"
"Sister Xing'er, wait for me and show it!" Yu Ji also turned around and shouted and ran to the backyard with Xing'er.
Alas, looking at the backs of the two fat girls, Chen Xu couldn't help but shake his head.
After sitting in the court for an hour, he went to the palace and was dragged by the emperor to chat about hundreds of thousands of yuan. Chen Xu felt that he was hungry at this time, so he went straight to the kitchen and smelled a strong aroma of dog meat from a distance, so he couldn't wait to walk in.
In the kitchen, a burly and tall man with a beard was working in a clothes and a tall white chef's hat. Several chefs were doing odd jobs next to him to help. When they saw Chen Xu coming in, everyone stood up and greeted him.
"Hey, why did Chef Fan come to the house to cook!" Chen Xu patted the chef's shoulder in surprise.
"Mrs. said that the Marquis will definitely go hungry when he goes to court today, so he called Kuai to make a meal of dog meat for the Marquis to replenish his body!" Fan Kuai bowed with a silly smile.
"Okay, I'm sorry for you. It's really a long time since I've eaten dog meat. I'll stew more. I'll arrange for someone to call Liu Bang and Xiao He and others to gather together!" Chen Xu picked up a braised dog rib from the pottery basin on the stove, and walked to the backyard while gnawing. On the way, he met a manager and asked him to arrange for someone to invite Xiao He, Liu Bang, Zhou Bo, Chen Ping and others to come together. After thinking for a while, he asked someone to invite Ying Bu, who was escorted to Yuezhi prisoners, to come back.
Since he was ambushed at Hangu Pass, not only was Xianyang a mess, but the Hou Mansion was even more chaotic. There were constant streams of people coming and going. It was only in recent days that he had finally calmed down slowly. Therefore, Chen Xu also decided to have a meal in his spare time to enhance his feelings.
As early as the end of June, Fan Kuai brought his wife and children to Xianyang to defect to him. According to Chen Xu's instructions, he went straight to Qinghe Garden. He learned that Fan Kuai was the dog meat chef specially found by Chen Xu. Huangfu Que naturally did not dare to neglect him. He settled Fan Kuai's family in Qinghe Garden and arranged a kitchen to make dog meat.
The dog meat stewed by Fan Kuai is indeed extremely fragrant. Not only is it recognized by a number of chefs in Qinghe Garden, but it is also sought after by countless diners. It has recently become a signature dish of Qinghe Hotel. In addition, Qinghe Garden has a complete range of secret sauces and spices. Fan Kuai quickly learned different ways of making dog meat such as roasted braised and roasted. In just over two or three months, Fan Kuai has become the gold medal chef of Qinghe Hotel. Many kings, princes and ministers will come to the banquet and order a special dish of dog meat to taste. Even the imperial chefs in the palace came to learn how to make dog meat. Especially after learning about Chen Xu's true identity, Fan Kuai was even more excited. He really couldn't have thought that even a dog-slaughtered man could win Qinghe Hou to become a celebrity in Xianyang. At this point, he was determined to be a chef in Qinghe Garden to repay this kind of favor.
Xiao He and Liu Bang, who came back with Chen Xu, were awarded a position by the emperor for their contributions to protecting Chen Xu at Hangu Pass. Xiao He is currently on duty in the work deployment yard to help handle some government affairs. Liu Bang was sent by Chen Xu to learn from the Cuju Square under construction with Hu Kuan. According to Chen Xu's idea, he will be allowed to manage the Cuju Commercial Plaza after it is repaired. The regularization and commercialization of Cuju will definitely not be possible with the dudes like Meng Yun and Ma Teng. Liu Bang also loves Cuju, which is just suitable for use.
Xiao He and Liu Bang were naturally grateful for Chen Xu's arrangement. They used to be just a minor official in Pei County and would never be able to become officials in their lives, because there were only three officials in the county town, all appointed by the court, one was a county magistrate, one was a county magistrate, and the other was a county magistrate. The others were all official positions. Unless the county magistrate was willing to recommend them to the county town and get recognized by the county magistrate, they could become a minor official. However, such things were generally unreliable as winning the five million prize in the lottery.
Both of them have received the title of Lang rank by the emperor, so they will inevitably be named in the Ministry of Personnel's Office. Once they have the opportunity to be promoted, it is very easy. According to Chen Xu seduces them, it is not impossible to be in the court in the future. Even if the ministers and ministers dare not expect extravagantly, the problem of becoming a doctor should not be big. If they return to Pei County, the county magistrate will still have to salute respectfully, and return home in glory is just around the corner.
Cao Shen, one of the three rogue giants, had not returned from Langya yet, and asked someone to bring back a letter half a month ago, saying that Gai Nie had actually come back alive. When he learned that Gongsun Beiyan was taken by Mo Tu and the Taoist monks, he begged Cao Shen to take him out to sea to find him. Therefore, Cao Shen agreed to stay in Langya. When he wrote the letter, he said that he had already taken Gai Nie to sea and might have to wait for another month or two before he could come back.
