Mythical Three Kingdoms-Chapter 1415 - 1365: Let’s Talk Business to Pass the Time

Sending Chen Yun and Chen Ying to cook, Chen Xi has always had low standards when it comes to food. Eating and living with the soldiers, that sort of thing Hua Xiong does very well, but Chen Xi usually has a small stove. By the way, the maidens of the Chen Family are quite good at cooking now.

"Sister, please help take care of Qian’er." Chen Lan entrusted the sleeping Chen Qian to Fan Jian for care.

"Are you getting off the carriage?" Zhen Mi tilted her head and asked.

"I’m going to cook, Mi’er, please help take care as well." Chen Lan said with a smile, then got off the carriage.

On the other side, upon seeing Chen Yun and Chen Ying, Sunx Qian started rolling his eyes. He knew long ago that Chen Xi was quite obsessed with eating, developing dozens of ways to cook one dish, which truly made Sunx Qian admire him greatly.

"Zichuan, are you sure you’re going on an expedition?" Sunx Qian rolled his eyes and said.

"Passing through Yingchuan, just going back to the hometown. As for bringing the maids into the camp, I wouldn’t do such a thing." Chen Xi said with a smile, he had that basic quality.

"You, but this way we can have a good meal at noon." Sunx Qian laughed and said, "Your family’s cooks are really enviable. By the way, Chen Yun is your personal maid, right?"

"Why did you suddenly switch to this topic?" Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.

"Other remarkable women are basically noblewomen or married, only Chen Yun is a maid." Sunx Qian said with a smile, his meaning was self-evident.

"Alright, alright, if Chen Yun wants to marry, I’ll let her go." Chen Xi said helplessly, waving his hand.

"Zichuan, I find you sometimes really don’t get it, or maybe it’s not that you don’t get it, but you don’t want to. Some women miss certain people and are destined never to marry." Sunx Qian said helplessly.

Chen Xi remained silent, wasn’t the most famous case of this Cai Yan? If you miss the chance, you’ll never marry, this isn’t just talk.

"Let’s not talk about this anymore." Chen Xi sighed and said, "Let’s talk about serious matters to relax, talking about these things always feels a bit heavy."

"Hahaha, you’re really different, Zichuan. Others talk about interesting things to relax, you talk about serious matters to relax, you’re really interesting." Sunx Qian laughed and said.

"No way, life is too difficult; dealing with government affairs is easier, I’m planning to work hard." Chen Xi said with a helpless look, realizing he was indeed quite unique.

"Speaking of serious matters, I thought of something that would make both of us happy. Didn’t I stay in Ye City during the New Year because of the bridge construction? During the bridge construction, a light fell from the sky onto me." Sunx Qian said with a smile.

"It’s strange, when that light fell on me, I didn’t look up, nor did I turn around, but I felt the square phantom behind me, I knew it was the manifestation of my fortune, really strange, I clearly knew nothing, but I also knew everything." Sunx Qian said with a loud laugh.

"That day I saw many lights flying across the sky." Sunx Qian said with emotion, "Those should be the fortunes of worldly heroes, but I never expected I would be among them, really surprising."

"That day was because the Lord was sacrificing to the heavens, stimulating the Human Cauldron." Hua Xiong remembered the situation on the first day of the year and laughed.

"Zijian, did something good happen that day?" Sunx Qian saw Hua Xiong’s happy expression and asked with a smile.

Chen Xi’s face twitched, he remembered that big fox on the first day of the year again.

"That day everyone’s fortune manifested, and many people were exposed." Hua Xiong laughed and said, "Depending on personal ability, the manifested fortune was different, even the image was different. Marquis Chen manifested a Nine-Tailed Fox, mine was a Unicorn."

"Mine was Yingzhao, a mythical beast that looks after the garden for the Heavenly Emperor." Sunx Qian laughed with pride in his voice.

"Everyone was similar, only Marquis Chen’s was different. Marquis Chen’s Nine-Tailed White Fox was about ten zhang high, and just when it manifested, the fate repelled everyone." Hua Xiong smiled as he recounted that scene from that day, not forgetting to mention Jia Xu and Guo Jia’s laziness.

"Wen Ru was also lazy, and the most obvious." Chen Xi said expressionlessly.

Sunx Qian was speechless, after a while, he said, "It’s a pity I wasn’t there to see that classic scene."

"Nine-Tailed White Fox, a symbol of wise and benevolent king." Sunx Qian said with a smile, "But so huge, it’s really hard to imagine."

"If it’s hard to imagine, then don’t imagine." Chen Xi said with annoyance.

"Anything interesting in Ye City?" Sunx Qian turned his head to ask Hua Xiong, who was sitting on the ground, since Chen Xi wouldn’t say, asking someone else would be fine.

"The spring examination was quite interesting." Hua Xiong was silent for a while and then suddenly said.

"Spring exam, I also received some news here, it seems that except Great Scholar Cai, all failed in arithmetic, right?" Sunx Qian said with a bitter smile, "That problem was truly astonishing, I really didn’t know what it was asking at all."

"That’s normal, not being able to solve that problem is normal." Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said, "However, I indeed underestimated the people of the world. Miss Cai was expected, but Zhao Junqing is truly impressive. To be honest, if it wasn’t for that difficult problem at the end, but rather other difficult questions, Zhao Junqing might have been number one."

This was also what Chen Xi was most grateful for, at the time, because his mind was momentarily blank, he added a difficult problem; otherwise, a complete sweep could absolutely not have been achieved. If everyone failed except for Cai Yan and Zhao Shuang with perfect scores, it would not have demonstrated the overwhelming strength of the ladies’ side.

After all, both had perfect scores, even though Zhao Shuang’s perfect score was due to his own skill, and Cai Yan’s was simply because the test only had one hundred points. The problem is that they both look like perfect scores, so it’s hard to see any essential difference.

Just like if the test questions were all limited to one plus one, whether they’re elementary, middle, or college students, they’d all get full marks, and just looking at the papers, you couldn’t tell who’s the elementary school student. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

"From your tone, was it on purpose to let Cai Yan be on top?" Sunx Qian raised an eyebrow and asked.

Chen Xi grew embarrassed, he had let it slip, indeed sometimes a person should not get too excited.

"But it’s nothing now, a more difficult problem also helps to show superiority." Once Sunx Qian confirmed that Chen Xi had done it on purpose, he changed the topic and didn’t dwell on it.

"Indeed, but this exam was truly not easy. For other subjects, giving them all to Miss Cai was fine, only the military exam nearly ended disastrously." Hua Xiong said with a sorrowful expression, the military exam was truly very perilous.

"What happened with the military exam?" Sunx Qian suddenly realized that in the time he wasn’t around, Ye City seemed incredibly lively; so many major events occurred, while he was suffering at the Yellow River building bridges and missed so much fun at home during the New Year.
