Chapter 278 Lantern Festival
In Xiyue's impression, barbecue is the northern savage, roasting half-cooked whole sheep in the desert, sprinkled with a layer of salt, and taking a bite is full of disgusting blood.
When Jiang Han proposed to eat barbecue, she still hesitated.
Came here purely for friendship.
It's just that I didn't expect that after I ate it, I realized that the real barbecue is the best in the world.
"Brother, try it quickly, try it quickly." Xiyue urged excitedly.
"Is this really delicious?" The prince smelled it.
He tried to grab a bunch, and his scalp exploded after eating it.
The charm of barbecue is simply the bliss of life for those who eat it for the first time.
"Too, so delicious."
The prince didn't care about etiquette any more, and started to fight with Xiyue for the skewers.
"Don't worry, it's enough for today, let's try this."
Jiang Han poured a good cold beer for the two of them.
"What is this?"
"Why is it a bit like horse urine?" Xiyue asked curiously.
"In our hometown, this is called beer. It is made from malt fermentation. It tastes slightly bitter, but it is slightly sweet in the throat. It is very suitable for eating with barbecue."
Sand Wolf laughed and chimed in.
Ok?
The prince glanced at Sand Wolf.
He didn't expect the servants below to interrupt when the master spoke.
"Don't be surprised, we Yiwai don't have so many rules, we are all friends, we can say whatever we want," Jiang Han explained.
"Ah."
"I'll take a sip."
Xiyue took a sip and chilled the wine with ice cubes.
"It doesn't seem very tasty, it might as well go with sweet wine." Xiyue frowned.
The prince also drank a few sips, neither of them had a cold for beer.
"Then drink this."
Jiang Han poured Sprite for the two of them again.
The cool and refreshing taste of Du Sprite, when the two mouths buzzed, the two immediately burst into praise.
"Don't just eat meat, try my grilled eggplant, fish..."
Jiang Han recommended them again.
After the two of them ate, they were also full of praise.
But I still think the meat skewers are delicious, especially the prince actually ate three kidneys in one go.
Eat a meal.
Both Xiyue and the prince couldn't keep going.
"It's over, Jiang Han, I'm afraid that after this meal, the crown prince will want to come to eat with you every day." Murong Fei rubbed his belly with a cheerful expression.
"My door is always open for the prince."
"Actually, eating barbecue at two or three o'clock in the middle of the night feels the best."
"Well, I'll give you some seasonings. If you get hungry in the palace, you can ask the imperial chef to make it,"
Jiang Han packed the seasonings he had prepared earlier and handed them to Xiyue.
"It's fine if you live in the palace, we can play and eat together every day." Xiyue pouted, eyes full of little stars of love.
"Princess, prince, I am a businessman."
"I'm here to make money. If I just play with you every day, your father should chop off my head." Jiang Han laughed.
"Father is reluctant."
"Forget it, it's getting late, I'm tired of playing golf today, so I won't disturb your rest."
"Prince, let's go."
Xiyue is sometimes very reasonable.
"Okay, Sand Wolf, escort the princess and the prince back to the palace." Jiang Han ordered.
"Yes, Master."
Sand Wolf got on his horse and went out to follow the prince's carriage.
"My lord, I think Murong Fei and Princess Xiyue have a very good relationship with you. Can we plan a second plan?" Li Shu came out from the side and asked in a low voice.
"Come, let's eat barbecue."
"Let's drink this beer!"
Jiang Han grilled the meat himself, and the two chatted while eating.
"Murong Fei is still not as easy to use as Murong Ping. He has his uncle He Jin behind him, and most of the court officials support Murong Xu and the crown prince. His foundation is too strong."
"He's just a dude right now. Once he starts fighting for the throne one day, he will turn bloody."
"There are too many variables. Unlike Murong Ping, he will die unless he cooperates with us."
Jiang Han shook his head and took a sip of beer.
Li Shu nodded: "Indeed, Murong Fei will grow up sooner or later."
"By the way, what happened to Murong Zhan recently?"
"If this nail is not pulled out, my lord will inevitably be bound in the Eastern Region." Li Shu bit the skewer hard and asked.
"Last time, I wanted to take advantage of Guo Tu's affairs and force him into the army, but now it seems that Murong Zhan's foundation in the army is too deep."
"If you don't create a new army, it will be difficult to shake him."
"Once the new army is established and can show its power, Murong Zhan's good days will come to an end."
Jiang Han pondered.
"It's best for my lord to command this army. If I can get a share of the military power, Chen Guolao and the others will undoubtedly look at my lord with admiration." Li Shu said.
"Yes!"
"This is what I want to do the most right now." Jiang Han said.
"It's hard to say, easy to say, it's all in the master's mind." Li Shu looked up at Jiang Han and laughed.
"Let's talk about it, I'll think about it."
Jiang Han understood what he meant.
Marrying Princess Xiyue and becoming the consort of the imperial court naturally entered the core level.
It is also easy to build a new army and control the army.
The point is that he is not mentally prepared yet.
He is modern.
Unlike outside the region, women are just a tool for reproduction and a bargaining chip in politics and business.
There is more to consider about marriage.
Of course, he already had the answer in his heart.
It's just that the right opportunity is missing.
"Tomorrow is the day to fight Xie Jun to the death, my lord, please be careful." Li Shu said worriedly.
"Be careful, Xie Jun will not be my opponent." Jiang Han smiled lightly.
Since the mining machine began to mine primordial stones.
He can get the highest quality fourth-grade primordial stones every day.
In the past, whether he was cultivating or using primordial stones, he had to be careful because they were too expensive.
But now he's sitting on the mine, with a steady stream of supplies.
The cultivation base and equipment are all in the state of full yuan stone.
The cultivation base is only one step away from the master.
Not to mention that he still has equipment attached to him, even if he doesn't need equipment, he has no opponent under the master.
The next day and night, the Lantern Festival came.
The lanterns all over the city are colorful.
The big river outside the city is full of colorful boats, standing on the tower and looking at it at a glance, it is so gorgeous.
The people in the city stand shoulder to shoulder, very happy.
Jiang Han, Zhu Jin, and Li Jimin huddled in the crowd, enjoying this rare celebration.
"I said Jiang Envoy, we are tired of watching, if we don't get in the carriage, we won't be able to catch up with the feast in the palace." Zhu Jin was sweating and really didn't want to leave.
"Okay, don't read it, then I will accompany you two to the car."
Jiang Han saw that the two of them were really not interested, and they didn't want to push others, so he got into the carriage immediately.
They hung the palace's talisman on this car.
No matter how crowded the crowd is, you have to take the initiative to avoid the car when you see it.
Soon, the three came to the palace.
In the Shenlong hall of the royal palace, delicacies have already been set up, and each table has a corresponding seat name.
As a foreign minister, Jiang Han's status is not high.
It was next to Li Jimin.
Xie Jun on the opposite side was three or four ranks higher than him.
The person sitting above Xie Jun has a short beard and a dignified face.
He is Xie Jun's father, Xie Zhongshi, Minister of Rites and Murong Xu's favorite minister.
Seeing Jiang Han, Xie Jun threw a sneer from the air.
Obviously, Jiang Han has been regarded as a dead person.
For such a grand banquet, there was no former prince Murong Ping, which shows that this person has been basically given up by Murong Xu.
The No.1 sitting on the left is naturally Murong Zhan.
No.1 on the right is He Jin, the uncle of the country.
Murong Xu and Empress He sat at the head.
The prince, Xiyue and other princes and princesses sat in the middle hall.
The three halls are full and the grand occasion is magnificent.
After Murong Xu toasted to God, the Great Emperor, and the ancestors of the Murong family, he said something to share the joy with the people.
All the ministers congratulated, it was so lively.
Next is the song and dance program.
The courtiers enjoyed the dance music, ate delicious food, drank fine wine, and were very happy.
After drinking for two rounds, an old man with white beard stood up from the banquet: "My lord, I have heard for a long time that the Yiwailong Kingdom has a civilization of 5000 years, and our Eastern Region has a thousand years of culture and rule."
"Today, as the head of the Taixue Academy, I am going to ask Mr. Jiang for advice."
The old man is a well-known writer in the Eastern Region.
Meng Zhou, the owner of Taixue Pavilion.
He has studied literature deeply throughout his life, especially poetry.
He is omniscient in the poems and songs of the Four Regions.
These days, Jiang Han is very famous in Wangcheng, and Meng Zhou is interested in asking for advice.
Not out of any hatred, but purely wanting to learn something new.
"Emissary Jiang, would you like to compete with Master?" Murong Xu asked with a smile.
"I usually study business alone, and rarely read books. The books I read may not be considered elegant." Jiang Han said modestly.
He has never been interested in poetry or anything, so he has no intention of thinking about it.
"Emissary Jiang, Aijia has always been very interested in literature. I often hear Xiyue mentioning that you are extremely intelligent. I think you must have learned something."
"Don't hide your secrets, please share with me, the kings and ministers of the Eastern Region."
Empress He, who was sitting at the top, suddenly spoke.
Jiang Han's scalp tingled for a while.
If he wanted to take advantage of Xiyue's relationship to gain power in the Eastern Region, Queen He would be a hurdle that he couldn't get around.
Now that they have all called names, I am afraid that resisting the decree will be disrespectful and will sweep the face of the monarch and ministers.
Thinking of this, Jiang Han said loudly: "It is the queen's order, how dare I refuse to obey?"
"Then I'll make a fool of myself!"
"Master, please ask questions."
Jiang Han raised his hand and said.
"It's better to use this wine as the topic!"
"Emissary Jiang is a guest, you come first." Meng Zhou said.
"Let me first, this is not very good." Jiang Han touched the bridge of his nose.
"Oh, is it possible that Jiang Envoy has no ink in his chest and is afraid?" Xie Jun asked with a smile.
The courtiers of the Manchu Dynasty also burst into laughter.
Everyone knows that Meng Fuzi has thousands of poems and books in his belly, and a thousand years of culture is hidden in his chest.
Thinking about it, Jiang Han was ashamed of himself, there was nothing wrong with him, and he felt guilty.
"No, no, no."
"I'm afraid, if I open my mouth, the master will not accept it."
"When the time comes, it will hurt the face of the master and damage the civilization outside the territory. Wouldn't it be a crime?" Jiang Han looked around proudly, his voice like a bell.
What a madman!
"You are provoking my thousand-year-old culture in the Eastern Region, Jiang Han, if you have a good literary talent today, you will insult the thousands of people who have studied in the Eastern Region."
Xie Jun took the opportunity to fan the flames.
"I've said it."
"Writing has no boundaries, and it is not a tool for competing interests. If he really has peerless articles, it should be handed down to the world and be praised by our generation of scholars."
"Emissary Jiang, please."
Meng Zhou got up to quell Xie Jun's instigation, and immediately raised his hand and smiled.
