Chen Xi always directly approved the Han Dynasty's reasonable funding requirements, but Chen Xi himself had never figured out how much funding was needed to develop things like secret techniques.
However, considering the importance of this thing, Chen Xi decided to make another payment to the Han Dynasty, although Chen Xi was a little skeptical about this aspect.
On the one hand, many of the secret techniques collected from Guishuang are a bit exaggerated in Chen Xi's opinion. If there were not so many strategic-level secret techniques that have been formed, Chen Xi would probably doubt the authenticity of these secret techniques, but there are pearls and jade
Before, Chen Xi didn't dare to bet that this was fake.
On the other hand, the secret arts of war are mostly addictive and easy to use, and can indeed solve many related war problems to a large extent. Therefore, when Chen Xi has a lot of funds, he is willing to take a gamble and see what the Han Dynasty can come up with.
thing.
I feel that things like secret arts require more imagination than development ability. But overall, the Han Dynasty has not developed well here, probably because of its weak accumulation. It is very difficult to reach this level now.
To a large extent, we need to thank Kushan for his chaotic management.
After Chen Xi nodded, Jia Xu prepared to take it to the Political Yuan tomorrow to discuss whether the process should be carried out, and then the two of them separated at the intersection.
It's not that Jia Xu and Chen Xi's families are not on the same road, but they both want to find their own families, so when they turned around at the intersection, the two guys smiled tacitly, waved their hands and left.
.
When Chen Xi turned to the door of Zhaoji's house, Jia Wenhe also arrived at the courtyard where Concubine Tang often lived in Chang'an. It should be said that they were really thankful that Concubine Tang did not go to find Zhaoji today.
"Zichuan." When Chen Xi came to see Cai Yan, Cai Yan was wearing a white fur coat and was reaching out to catch the slowly falling snowflakes from the sky. Looking at the snow on Cai Yan's shoulders and hat, he knew that Cai Yan was already in the snow.
I stood there for a long time.
"Hey, hey, hey, now is not the time to play in the snow, and you are not afraid of catching cold." Chen Xi saw Cai Yan in the yard and quickly pulled him back to his boudoir.
"I've never seen you love playing in the snow so much before." After Chen Xi pulled Cai Yan closer to the warm bedroom, he reached out to help Cai Yan pat the snowflakes on his shoulders and body, while taking off Cai Yan's little hat, while Cai Yan wore
With a little laziness, Chen Xi did whatever he wanted.
"I didn't like it before. I saw the snow today so I went out." Cai Yan said softly to Chen Xi. Even though he was prepared, Cai Yan was a little depressed when he saw the snow. He really wanted to change the sky.
But that would be too much.
"Okay, don't think so much." Chen Xi untied Cai Yan's leather jacket. He and Cai Yan had been getting along for a long time, so he could tell that Cai Yan was in a bad mood.
As for why he was in a bad mood, Chen Xi also knew, but for this kind of thing, Chen Xi could only hug Cai Yan and comfort him softly. As for whether it would be effective or not, it really could only depend on Cai Yan's wishes.
"Well, it's nothing, just a little sad." Cai Yan did not hide her emotions in front of Chen Xi who could see her thoughts. The moment the snow fell, her mood suddenly worsened and she even doubted her choice.
.
Fortunately, Cai Yan has stabilized his mentality as much as possible after years of cultivating his mind and character. Chen Xi was also worried about this and came to Cai Yan after breaking up with Jia Xu. After all, Cai Yan is also a human being.
Even though you are cold and wise, you are still a human being after all.
"Do you regret it?" Chen Xi sighed. He even wanted to take Cai Yan back and forget it. However, before he could speak, Cai Yan blocked his mouth with his fingers.
"Don't say it. Once you say it, I won't be able to refuse." Cai Yan said with a touch of disgust. He didn't know whether he was disgusted by himself or someone else.
"Uh..." Chen Xi reached out and grabbed Cai Yan's extended hand, interlocking their fingers. Cai Yan's look of disgust made Chen Xi swallow back everything he wanted to say.
"Well, I'm satisfied if you have this idea, but you can't do it." Cai Yan exhaled softly and said with a little resentment, "If you say it, I don't even know how to refuse. My current mentality Unstable, if you say it, I might just nod regardless of anything else."
"Are you afraid that you will make impulsive choices that you shouldn't make?" Chen Xi looked at Cai Yan, who was already half-leaning on him, and didn't know what to say. Cai Yan was more rational than expected in many cases, and never cried or made trouble. The fluctuations in temperament are very small, and now this situation can be regarded as a big fluctuation in temperament, but Cai Yan can still control himself.
"No, there are some things that you have made the most correct plans when you are calmest, so you must not waver now. The choices you make when you are rational must not be overturned when you are mentally confused." Cai Yan lowered his eyebrows and obeyed. In the meantime, he said with a little wisdom in his eyes.
"It's too tiring to live like that." Chen Xi hugged Cai Yan tighter.
"But otherwise, everyone will be tired." Cai Yan said softly, "Do you want to stay today?"
"I'm afraid it won't work at night, it's snowing." Chen Xi sighed and said, feeling quite apologetic towards Cai Yan in his arms.
"Yes, it's snowing." Cai Yan said in a depressed tone.
It was already afternoon when Chen Xi left Cai Yan, but the snow was getting heavier and heavier. This was not a problem caused by Guo Jia or others, but that it would snow so heavily this time, but it had already been booked. Good times don't change.
When we changed the carriage and took a detour to pass the Zhen's house, the Zhen's house had already hung up lanterns, and the servants coming in and out were obviously much more energetic than other times.
Stopping in the distance, Chen Xi looked at the Zhen family and couldn't help but smile, and then drove away. At this time, it was impossible for Chen Xi to see Zhen Mi, and he also needed to go home to make arrangements. Presumably their home had already been The inversion began.
"Master, my mistress asks you to go to the inner courtyard first when you return." After Chen Xi returned to his home, he saw that he had already begun to clean up. Moreover, when the steward hired by the old housekeeper saw Chen Xi, he immediately bowed and saluted. Chen Xi saw this He nodded and walked towards the inner courtyard.
After all, Chen Xi has already married Fan Jian and Chen Lan, so Chen Xi is now familiar with the process. At most, the change in official position and title, as well as the change in the woman's identity, has made the wedding more complicated.
In addition, with Chen Xi's current status, I'm afraid there will be too many people to come. As for the wedding master of ceremonies and elders, Chen Xi originally planned to find Chen Ji, Chen Qun's father. He is now seventy years old and has enough qualifications. , and we are the same family as Chen Xi.
But in the end, this position was snatched away by Zhao Qi. Zhao Qi had long expressed that he would be the master of ceremonies. Although Chen Xi said that the old lady has worked hard, you don't need to be so worried about me.
However, Zhao Qiniao didn't even bother with the compliments Chen Xi said, and directly took over the job of emcee, and said that for a mere emcee, I am Taichang, Taichang only deals with etiquette, and I am a professional, so Zhao Qi
Eight streets.
In addition, in ancient times, the person who emceed the ceremony and gave the speech was required to be an elder. Generally speaking, it was an old person who was old enough and experienced enough. In terms of age, Chen Xi had never seen many elders older than Zhao Qi.
A generation ago, and in terms of qualifications, Zhao Qi was also one of the Nine Qings of the previous generation, so he was considered the most suitable candidate.
It can be said that except for being older, he is the best choice in other aspects, but this older one makes Chen Xi worried. Zhao Qi is really old and scary. Chen Xi is always worried about Zhao Qi bumping into something.
After all, Chen Xi had heard before that Zhao Qi went to a certain family to have porcelain, and then lay down on the ground or something like that. This move could almost drive every major family crazy.
China has always been about respecting the old and loving the young, benevolence, righteousness and morality. But in the case of Zhao Qizhanli, if he does this to you, it can really drive people crazy.
Although Chen Xi felt that Zhao Qi would not do this at his wedding banquet, he was afraid that the other party would bump into him, and it would be difficult to explain if something happened.
It's a pity that even when Chen Xi had so many reasons, Zhao Qi still became the master of ceremonies. He couldn't stop him. It didn't make sense to Chen Xi. Zhao Qi could persuade Zhen Mi. It was impossible for others to see Zhen Mi, but Zhao Qi could,
An old man in his nineties can basically do whatever he wants
In addition, in ancient weddings, the older the elders gave their blessings and congratulations, the more blessings they gave to the newlyweds. Zhen Mi naturally leaned towards the old man. Needless to say, after Zhao Qi settled Zhen Mi, he was left with only one opponent.
That is Chen Ji. The question is, can Chen Ji defeat Zhao Qi in this kind of matter? Save the trouble, how is it possible? In the end, Zhao Qi was the master of ceremonies.
"Lan'er, that's strange. It's you. I thought it was Jian'er who was looking for me." When Chen Xi came to the inner courtyard, he was a little surprised to see Chen Lan instead of Fan Jian.
"Sister went to buy some things." Chen Lan said with a smile, walked to Chen Xi's side with small steps, and lightly twitched her nose twice. Compared with Fan Jian who thinks of this matter from time to time, she still thinks about it all the time.
With a curious expression of "Husband, please bring the young lady back, let me meet you", Chen Lan has now determined who Chen Xi is with when he has something to do.
"I remember you were the one doing this kind of thing all the time." Chen Xi asked curiously. Chen Xi still knew how the two wives divided their duties.
"Let my sister go this time." Chen Lan shook her head and said, "Husband, do you plan to continue like this?"
"What?" Chen Xi looked at Chen Lan in confusion, but his heart suddenly lurched.
"Aren't you going to bring your sister back?" Chen Lan sighed and said. She didn't know what was going on with Cai Yan, but she really didn't think it was a good thing to raise Cai Yan outside. After all, it's fine now, but what about in two years?
