Chapter 133 Picnic
Li Lingfeng wrote the reinforcements, Chen Shou blew the ink and took a quick look, very satisfied.
"I'll go now!" Chen Shou picked it up and was about to leave, but Li Lingfeng grabbed the corner of his clothes.
"Didn't you let others go out for more walks?"
"Ah? Yes, what's wrong?" Chen Shou asked in a depressed manner.
"What do you think?"
Chen Shou asked Li Lingfeng to go out for more walks, but she caught the talk and stayed in the summer palace for a walk and picnic with her.
There are not many palaces in the back mountain, but stretching forests. The sun shines through the branches and leaves, covering the forest like a golden carpet.
Several guards brought various ingredients to the stove stones, made charcoal, and left with a smile.
Zhiqi was dressed very skillfully, and he tied a playful green squid on his head to wrap his hair, rolled up his sleeves to reveal his white lotus arms, and started working with Zhiqin.
Chen Shou also came forward, but he didn't help, and his face was covered in dust. He was soon blown away by his three daughters in a coquettish manner.
In this era, men are superior to women, which is very different from later generations. Men who cook are not good men, but unreliable men.
When a man cooks, it is not only an insult to a man, but also an insult to his woman. Its meaning is just like a man who should be outside cannot handle it outside and can only hide behind and let his wife come forward to argue with others.
Chen Shoule's leisure time enjoys the beautiful scenery in the forest in the back mountain.
No one knows that in this place like a fairy mountain in the world, there are countless caves and passages hidden, and it is its own military empire and military warehouse.
Soon, the master and servant used mountain spring water and dead branches as fuel, and several dishes were prepared? There was even a water shield soup.
Chen Shou rubbed his hands? Just as he was about to have a feast, Zhang He hurried over? He clasped his fists from a distance and said, "Sir? A Tang man crossed the sea and came to Bianliang? He wanted to meet with him."
"Tangren?" Chen Shou was stunned at first, then said ecstaticly: "It must be someone from Qiantang Chamber of Commerce? They agreed to open a business with me?"
"Let's go after eating!" Li Lingfeng rarely cooks a meal? Although the two maids are the main force, she is also full of accomplishment.
Chen Shou took the foot out of the way and angrily took it back, "Hehe? Of course? Who said I'm leaving?"

Li Xin has left Yingzhou Prefecture and arrived at Yanmen Pass.
Chen Bing here was here, and he also gave Jiang Chucai a warning, saying that he would do his best to do what he said and make the final effort to resolve the matter without fighting.
The Mongols did not hurt their vitality? They just simply couldn't fight in and retreated. If there was a civil strife in the Central Plains, they had the opportunity to take advantage of it and would definitely make a comeback.
Will you lose a stable rear at that time? Li Xin himself is not sure whether she can hold on.
It is best if Jiang Chu takes the initiative to give in, and Chen Shou also accepts his surrender? Everyone continues to maintain peace on the face.
As for the reduction of the vassal states? You can’t be in a hurry? Li Xin is very clear about this.
The messenger who came back brought back what Jiang Chucai said, which made Li Xin frown.
"What else did he say?"
The messenger clasped his fists and said, "He also said that if the major general was willing to attack the traitor Chen Shou, he would be willing to pay the money, food and people to join forces with the heroes in Hedong for the use of the general."
"Absurd!" Li Xin cursed: "This is to provoke chaos in the world."
To the outside world, he was a firm pro-war faction, attacking Qiang people in the west and defending Mongolia in the north, and never gave in at all.
But internally, Li Xin hopes that the civil war will not break out. Any war that takes place in the heart of the Central Plains may be the last straw that will crush Da Qi to death.
Jiang Chucai and Chen Shou are already in the same power as fire and are full of gunpowder. Li Xin hopes that he can do his last efforts to avoid the outbreak of this war.

Outside the city of Bianliang, a soldier of about 2,000 people suddenly arrived.
People shouted and neighed, and swords and guns reflected in the sun, breaking the tranquility of the suburbs in an instant.
Two thousand people were knights, wearing armor and red robe, riding on an extremely strong and tall horse with swords and shields, complete saddles, a large red tassel gun, a foot-and-a-half-foot-sticked steel gun, and a cold light shining, the gun bar as thick as a peacock had a heavy texture.
Two thousand soldiers rushed to the outskirts of the city. Two generals with helmets and armor brought dozens of half-armed battle robes, carrying shields in one hand and sword in the other hand, and stepped forward majestic and asked, "Who is from Qiantang Chamber of Commerce?"
Behind, dense cavalry formed a strict military formation. Such a large number of people stood silently, with their momentum as mountains, with only flags and flags shaking in the wind.
At the Bianhe Ferry, the Chamber of Commerce who had just gotten off the ship had seen such an army in the Tang Dynasty. One of them stepped forward and said, "We are."
"According to the order of the Zhongyonghou, I will welcome you all the distinguished guests, please!"
After saying that, he waved his hand and the soldier behind him turned left and right, giving way out, with three carriages in the middle of the road.
People from Qiantang Chamber of Commerce have never received such treatment, and they have a deeper trust in Chen Shou.
At this time, Chen Shou invited Miao De, who had not left the palace for a long time, and the two of them sat opposite each other on a small table, drinking tea.
Behind the curtain next to it, Tao'er came out with a kettle, knelt beside Chen Shou, adding a cup of water to the two of them.
"Godfather, Daqi is short of supplies, especially the large amount of linen and grain I need. Qiantang Chamber of Commerce can solve my urgent needs this time!"
Miao De has not seen any old age this year. Among the four eunuchs, he is the oldest, but he also has the best mentality.
"Shou Ge'er, will Tangren really sell you these things?"
The Qi and Tang dynasties rarely interacted with each other, but after Chen Shou took power, he communicated with each other more frequently.
Last time, Emperor Gengyuan died, the Tang State even sent envoys to pay their respects. This was the first time that it was invincible.
The old people in Daqi still have the impression of the Tang people decades ago.
Except for the occasional overly stunning poems, everyone is actually unfamiliar with everything about the Southern Tang Dynasty.
"Don't worry, godfather, Tang people are pursuing profits. What they dare not sell is to make money."
Chen Shou has made no mistake in this regard. The Tang Dynasty dominated Jiangnan for so many years, and except for lack of military equipment, they lacked nothing, but the market.
Daqi is a huge piece of fat in their eyes. If this market can be opened, it will be another amazing source of wealth.
"It would be great if I could buy it." Although Miao De was old, he was very clear about these things. No one knew better what Daqi lacked than this living fossil.
"Food is gold in troubled times. With food, recruiting soldiers is easy to get out of hand. Many powerful people in our Great Qi dare to resist the court because they have food in their hands, and with food, they have soldiers."
The two of them were talking, and a personal soldier outside knocked on the door, "Sir, they are here."
