East Factory Governor

Chapter 820 How should I greet you now?
Qin Shuhuai stayed in Huangpi Village for four or five days, and finally lived steadily in "Yi'anju" for a few nights. During the period, under the arrangement of the old village head, someone delivered meals every day. I heard that all the ingredients were from the village. The National People's Congress went to the city to buy it early in the morning, fearing that the grandpa would not be used to country dishes.

Qin Shuhuai didn't say anything, he felt that he couldn't refuse anyway, so he could eat with peace of mind.

A few days later, I bid farewell to the villagers. Before leaving, I went to see the old house of Chen Qing'er's family for the last time, the cellar where he used to hide, thinking that he might not have the chance to come here in the future.

Back in the capital, I unexpectedly received an invitation from Li Dingguo, saying that he was going to get married next month, and he respectfully invited the Duke to come, and politely asked him if he could be the officiant for him.

Qin Shuhuai was delighted when he saw the bride's name.

It turned out to be Tang Ling'er from the Tang Sect.

Thinking of Li Dingguo's diligence when Tang Linger was injured, he suspected that this kid was interested in Tang Linger, but he succeeded without saying a word.

Well, now that the Tang Sect is on the decline, with a big tree like Li Dingguo around, their life should be easier.

So he wrote to him right away, first teasing the kid, and then saying that he was the officiant.

It was already September at this time, and the preparations for the Great Ming Dynasty Ceremony were in full swing.

Speaking of all nations, of course, does not really mean that 1 nations are invited, but there are not 1, there are always nearly a hundred large and small countries.

Most of them came in the form of tribute, but some came in accordance with normal diplomatic etiquette, such as the Raksha Kingdom.

When Qin Shuhuai saw the list, there were already more than [-] countries in the Western Regions, various tribes of Mongolia in the north, Korea, Dongying, and Ryukyu in the east, and more than [-] countries in the south, such as Siam and Dongwu, had already clearly stated that they would participate in the celebration. .

In addition to them, a large number of European countries also requested to participate, but most of them came to congratulate with normal etiquette, not as vassal countries.

Qin Shuhuai saw many interesting names in the "Xiyi" list.

English Ligui, France, Grand Francier, Petit Francier, Siberia, Francine, no one...

He knows the first few names, which are England, France, Spain, Portugal, and the Netherlands, but he can't understand the bunch of inexplicable names in the back.

Later, people who came to Honglu Temple were asked to inquire, and combined with his geographical knowledge before traveling, they found out that Siberia was Scotland, Franconia seemed to be Prussia, and none of them turned out to be the Principality of Moscow.

Well, it seems that more than [-]% of the countries in Europe will also come to the court to congratulate!
This result is not unexpected by Qin Shuhuai. Of course, these European countries have to establish a good relationship with the new overlord of the Far East, Daming. Manlajia is now in Daming's hands. If you don't have a good relationship with Daming now, it means you can withdraw from the Far East.

No, even after the proud Dutchman was beaten up by Zheng Zhilong's navy, didn't he also express his desire to make friends with Daming, and even recognize Daming's "leadership" in the Far East?
These European countries are also interesting. In order to show their sincerity, they even gathered more than a dozen major countries to sign a letter, begging His Majesty the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty to postpone the celebration for half a year. They said that they would have enough time to prepare and ensure that they did not miss the emperor. Your Majesty's respect.

To put it bluntly, Europe is too far away from Ming Dynasty. If they want to give some special gifts and bring the royal family's heart to them, they have to go back to their home country.It will take more than half a year to go back and forth like this?
Honglu Temple brought these words to Chongzhen, Chongzhen laughed, it was obvious that the flattery was exactly what he wanted, so he happily postponed the celebration for half a year, and it was scheduled to be held on June [-], the ninth year of Chongzhen.

For Qin Shuhuai, this was an extra six months.

In view of Chongzhen's strong protest against his "negligent" behavior of a cabinet member running around and disregarding the government, he also restrained himself a lot in the following days, stopped running around, and went to the Imperial Study Room to discuss state affairs with Chongzhen at least 4 times a month .

One day at the end of the year, Butler Qiao came to report that a few people who claimed to be old friends of the Duke had visited outside the door.

Qin Shuhuai was very happy, so he hurriedly let him in.

When the guests came in, Qin Shuhuai was taken aback.

It turned out to be Yan Huizhi, Mei Yinzhi, Shen Xi, Buer Sanren, and Wu Lie from the Demon Sect.

"Brother Qin, I haven't seen you for a long time, but I miss you so much. You won't be surprised if you take the liberty to visit this time?" Yan Huizhi said with a smile.

The current Yan Huizhi is less immature than before, and more mature and steady.And judging from his breathing, it seems that his internal strength is much stronger than before, and the Devil's Cult has no shortage of top-level martial arts cheats.

Qin Shuhuai's feelings towards the Devil's Cult are very complicated. These people used to be at odds with him and killed you to death, but they also fought side by side with him, going through life and death. It is precisely because of this complexity that he has deep feelings for each of them. .

Naturally, he was overjoyed at their visit, otherwise he still planned to visit the Devil's Cult sometime next year!

Immediately laughed and said, "Brother Yan, if you don't come, maybe I will go to Guangmingding to find you in two days! Well done, well done!"

After speaking, he said to Mei Yinzhi and the others, "Guardian Mei, Elder Shen, Brother Bu Er, Brother Wu Lie, long time no see, I miss you very much."

Bu'er Sanren laughed, "I thought that the Duke of the State is a powerful person now, and he forgot about us old friends! Haha, it seems that he hasn't forgotten, so there must be some wine for tonight's meal."

Qin Shuhuai said, "Of course there is enough wine. Anyone who doesn't drink a drink tonight will not even think about leaving. Come, come, come in quickly and sit down."

After entering the living room and serving tea, Qin Shuhuai asked, "By the way, Brother Yan, why are you here so free today? Could it be that you have something to do?"

Yan Huizhi smiled slightly, and said, "Nowadays the world is peaceful, so there is nothing important. We came out this trip mainly to read "Notes of Guxinting" written by Hufa Mei, and we couldn't hold back our curiosity, so we came for a stroll together. This is the scene of prosperity."

""Gu Xinting Notes"? Is this the masterpiece of Mei Hufa?" Qin Shuhuai said to Mei Yinzhi, "Mei Hufa, I wonder if I will have the honor to read it?"

Mei Yinzhi smiled faintly. At this moment, he has lost a lot of the fierce spirit of being a generation of masters, but he is a little more bookish, like an old man who has studied for a long time.

Said, "My book is just a record of what I have seen and heard outside these years, and a little bit of ignorance. It is worth reading. But if the Duke wants to read it, it doesn't hurt to send someone back."

Buer Sanren interjected, "It's just Guardian Mei who keeps talking about how good the world is now, saying that now you don't need to pay for farming, you don't need to pay for reading, and the people have enough food and clothing to live and work in peace. It was as prosperous as the Tang Dynasty, that's why we came out to have a look."

Wu Lie also laughed and said, "That's right, we all thought that Protector Mei was blowing too much, so we wanted to come out and have a look."

Qin Shuhuai said, "Then how do you feel when you see it now?"

"Haha, I am convinced!" Wu Lie said again, "This is a good way of life! To be honest, it is better than I thought..."

At this time, Shen Xi, who had been silent all this time, said, "Master Shen has done such a great thing, I admire you."

Qin Shuhuai said, "Everyone, don't talk about these scenes. You are ashamed to say Qin! Today, all of you here are good friends and brothers. Let's talk about something intimate. Elder Shen, if you hadn't met me several times during this trip Save me, Qin’s life is long gone. And Protector Mei, you suddenly appeared at my bedside and took my Yitian sword. If you were not dedicated to the public, I am afraid that it would be my personal enmity with your sect. You have already killed me. Looking back now, Qin is full of emotions. For your religion, Qin only has four words: thank you, respect!"

Everyone was silent for a while, and everyone's thoughts seemed to return to those years, those days when they fought side by side together and were once sworn to death.

Isn't it complicated that their feelings for Qin Shuhuai are complicated?

At this time, Wu Lie smiled wryly, "Master Qin, back then I insulted you loudly in your army for three days and three nights, but I never apologized to you for this incident. I still remember very clearly that you said that you The world I want is the same as the world I want, but our journey is different. Now that I have walked this journey, I understand and believe it!"

With that said, he got up and cupped his fists to worship, "Brother Qin, Wu Lie apologizes to you! Wu Lie also thanks you for doing such a good thing for the common people in the world!"

Qin Shuhuai stepped forward to help Wu Lie, and said with a smile, "Brother Wu, you scolded me so badly with your loud voice. But, it is precisely because you scolded me so badly that I respect you more is a good thing." Man, I believe that you and I are on the same road!"

Mei Yinzhi said, "Master Guo, in fact, the time I went to look for you, the leader of my teaching had already told me that no matter whether you agreed or not, your life would not be hurt... the leader knew at that time that he could calm this situation. The person in the troubled times is none other than the Duke of the country. It’s just good luck tricking people, hey, many people can’t see this prosperous world..."

Yan Huizhi also sighed slightly, but then said, "It's okay, Daddy and the others will be just as happy to see it in the sky."

Qin Shuhuai said, "All the sacrifices we have made are only for the sake of our hearts and ears. Brother Yan, when you pay homage to your father in the future, please don't forget to burn a stick of incense for me. If your father hadn't blocked the empress for me..."

"Will do."

The atmosphere was a bit dull, but at this moment Butler Qiao came in and said, "Master, the food and drinks are almost ready, why don't you chat while you eat."

Buer Sanren was the first to jump up and said, "Don't talk anymore, let's go drink! It's been a long time since I had a drink with Brother Qin. It was the first time I drank with Brother Qin in Huangpi Village. Brother Qin deliberately tricked me. My word! There are five of us today, I have to avenge this revenge!"

"Haha, so old brother Buer still remembers grudges!" Qin Shuhuai stood up and said, "Well, I'll drink enough with you today, and all the past grudges will be wiped away!"

At this moment, Butler Qiao hurried in again, and said in a panic, "Master! Master! The emperor, the emperor is here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Chongzhen came in.

After entering the door, he said with a smile, "Brother Qin, Brother Huang, I'm here for dinner! Hey, are there any guests?"

Everyone in the room looked at each other in blank dismay.

The miraculous fate brought Chongzhen, Yan Huizhi and others together wonderfully.

On one side are the bosses of the Devil's Cult, and on the other side is the emperor of the imperial court. If we sit at a table drinking...

Don't talk about sitting at a table, just say how should everyone say hello now?
