[Group Wearing Song Dynasty] The Glory of the Sky
Chapter 136 tacit understanding
This night, the word "You'an" was tainted with too many ambiguous meanings.
Even in his sleep, his mind is full of those fiery and moist eyes, and the sound of You'an again and again.
Whisper, gasp, sigh.
When the slightly warm fingertips caressed his cheek, it was like a light kiss.
Liu Xi moved slightly, groped and sat up.
The air smelled of humidity after the rain, and the direction of the bathroom still smelled of mint fragrance.
The sky was between dark and twilight, clothes were scattered all over the floor, and with only a slight movement of his body, he touched the warm and smooth waist of another person.
Although the other party was quite tired, he quickly realized that he had woken up, and slowly got up.
"Is it better..." You An's hoarse voice seemed to seduce him again: "Sorry, I still hurt you."
Liu Xi rubbed his messy hair, and began to think about how long they had tossed and tossed from the door to the dining table to the bathroom to the bed yesterday, and his voice was quite hoarse: "I'm a little hungry."
You An leaned over and kissed him lightly on the side of the lips, got up and put on a nightgown, and went to the kitchen to cook quick-frozen dumplings for him.
Filled with fresh shrimp and scallops, it just goes with a pot of Longjing tea.
Since he moved into this apartment, he has subconsciously bought everything related to Liu Xun - cocoa powder, Longjing tea, quick-frozen dumplings, pudding powder.
But at that time, even he himself refused to admit what it meant. He was deceiving himself and others from the time he walked into the store to when he walked out, and he only forced himself to say in his heart that he needed these things.
Liu Xi looked sleepily at the sky outside the window, and then the light in the kitchen was turned on.
Momo jumped onto the bed, and quite consciously rubbed his fluffy head against his palm.
The head of state fumbled out of bed, casually put on You'an's shirt, and walked to his side barefoot.
On a rainy morning, there is the sound of sparse rain outside the window, and the air is humid and slightly cool.
Liu Xi approached Xin Qiji, watched him make tea and dumplings for himself, and raised his hand to caress his long hair hanging down his waist.
On weekdays, Xin Qiji's long hair is tied up.
At that time, the customs of the country were open, and it was not uncommon for Luo Te to have dirty braids and green hair. It's just that people have always had a stereotyped image of officials.
Although Xin Qiji didn't cut off the long hair that hangs down to his waist, because of this, he encountered scrutiny everywhere, but it didn't prevent him from doing everything well.
Liu Xi went to find a comb, put his arms around his waist, and helped him comb it out.
He lowered his eyes and thought about some things, but he was already like a koala, unable to resist being by his side anytime.
If he could, he really wanted to wake up in You'an's arms every day.
Emotion and instinct have always been two different things.
Emotions will be mixed with too much judgment and consideration, and will be restrained and suppressed.
But instinct is instinct, naked desire, irrepressible obsession and love.
Two plates of dumplings were served, and tea was ready.
This house is neither big nor small, but it is a bit more intimate and warm than Liu Xi's 1203 in the past.
The two of them sat at the small dining table and drank a cup of tea next to each other.
Liu Xi ate hungrily, You An ate slowly, and looked sideways at the way he ate.
At this time, thinking about the tacit understanding between the two in the cafeteria, I felt a subtle feeling in my heart.
After Liu Xi and others finally got rid of their hunger, they took a sip of the tea, and after a few seconds of silence, they opened their mouths and said, "You'an."
"Ah."
"I am a responsible person." He took a deep breath: "I think... we should discuss what is the relationship between us and what we should do in the future."
It's refreshing and willful to act only by intuition, but you have to consider the consequences after having fun.
If they were in Shiguo, a more stable and controlled environment, Liu Xun would dare to expose this relationship unscrupulously. After a long relationship, he could still take him to meet his parents. Marry and have children.
"Liu Xi." Xin Qiji put down his chopsticks, turned to him and said, "You are afraid."
Liu Xi stepped back subconsciously, looked up into his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "All this has exceeded my expectations..."
"But it can be controlled." Xin Qiji said calmly: "Confirmation of love, frequency of contact, whether to disclose relationship, all of these can be decided by us together."
He leaned forward and held his cold right hand: "Even if you don't trust me, time can prove a lot."
They've done everything couples do, cuddling, kissing, going to bed, sleeping together.
But there is only no confirmation of the relationship, and no public relationship.
Liu Zi stared at him blankly, subconsciously said: "I thought I would make you uncomfortable if I avoided these things."
"If you want to escape, we can take our time."
"If you want to sort it out, we can talk and choose one by one."
No matter where things go, at least I will be by your side.
Xin Qiji looked into his eyes with a cold and steady voice.
"I dared to reach out and hug you only after I was ready."
There have been too many times just to talk about the heart-warming moments.
But in the past four years, the time, identity, position, and thoughts were all unequal and inappropriate.
Liu Xi never thought that the person he likes would mature to this stage.
He used to be clear that the word love mostly leads to 'irrational'.
But the man who pressed him in the bathtub and kissed him in the water for a long time to breathe was him, and now the man with clear logic, calm and steady is also him.
He will not be confused, he will not worry about gains and losses, he will not be restless because he cannot meet and contact all the time, and he will not be tortured by the seemingly non-existent existence of this relationship.
He lacks love but is busy, but he can hold his breath, and he can also give timely and hot enough kisses.
This kind of sanity and maturity in dealing with emotions is really fascinating.
Liu Xi only felt that his eyes were slightly hot, so he leaned over and gave her a kiss.
The bitter aroma of Longjing tea is exchanged again, and the taste of brandy is also more intense.
"This kiss probably spanned 1000 years." He laughed and said, "My existence was shattered and then reorganized to meet you in another time and space that never existed for me."
You An raised his hand to pinch the back of his head, deepening the kiss again.
"You'd better go wash and change," he whispered, "I don't promise I won't keep you until you're late for work."
The Song Kingdom has now produced many outstanding generals and officials one after another, and the one who has been the most popular recently is named Yu Yunwen.
This Yu Yunwen was admitted to the rank of Jinshi, and now he has been promoted to the Nanjing Road Envoy, leading the imperial edict all the way from Xuzhou to Dongping Mansion.
With the development of the industrial zone and the three enterprises and ten enterprises, the economies of the four states are developing at an unusual speed, and the imperial court has a lot more money.
Although for the sake of military stability, they did not cut down the redundant army on a large scale, but after all, this war was under the banner of recovering lost ground. Not only did the people of the government agree with each other, but the people in the north also responded positively, even in the famine Zhongdu took the initiative to donate clothes and food, just to return to the people of the southern country as soon as possible.
Under such circumstances, Jin Guo was like a dog in the water, being trampled on several times.
If there is a battle without Lin Guo's intervention, Song Jin's ability is comparable, and Song Guo may not be able to gain an advantage in a real fight.
However, the First Golden Kingdom suffered from food shortages and famines everywhere, and riots had begun to rise everywhere.
The second is that the State of Song has claimed a batch of Iron Thorn Chariots more than the State of Jin. These chariots are far superior to horse-drawn chariots in terms of lethality and crushing speed, so that as early as when they conquered Xixia, the related reputation has already Spread all over the country.
Now, even if they heard the sound of the flute, the deserters would scatter in all directions, and even the weapons in their hands would be thrown to the ground in a panic.
Once a car is fully powered, it is not a problem to run over hundreds to thousands of people in just 10 minutes.
And Lin Guo has a deep relationship with Song Guo now, and he has already trained many auto repairers to follow the army for repairs.
——This is already quite like a modern tank.
In April of this year, Wan Yanyong finally sent envoys to the border, trying to seek peace.
They managed to continue the plunder and looting after the war started, survived the whole winter and lost a lot of territory, and now they are breathing hard to prepare for the next winter.
But if the fight continues like this, it will do a lot of harm to Jin Guo and will not benefit at all.
After Zhao Gou received the call, he patiently listened to the contents of the peace petition read by the senior officials on the front line.
The Kingdom of Jin didn't care about losing face anymore, they just wanted peace, so much so that Lian Zhong became a subject of the State of Song, and it didn't matter if he turned to pay tribute to the State of Song, saying that everything was easy to talk about.
"Understood." Before hanging up the phone, Zhao Gou smiled faintly: "Chop off that envoy's head."
-
Zhao Gou, in the early decades, can almost be said to be a very weak emperor in history.
In the national book, he once said, "It is the country of great gold between the heaven and the earth, and there is no two superiors!"
And "I would like to go to the honorary title and use Zhengshuo to compare with the vassals."
It doesn't matter that he is such a douchebag by himself, but his identity is the emperor of the Song Kingdom, which is equivalent to rubbing Da Song's face in the mud back and forth, for fear that it will not be disgusting enough.
Not to mention that the emperors of the Jin Kingdom could take turns showing embarrassment to him, the courtiers of the Jin Kingdom could speak disrespectfully to him, and even the traitors who defected to the Jin Kingdom could ruthlessly refute and humiliate him when they were on an envoy.
This is not much better in the country.
The supervisory censor dared to hate him at any time, and the governor of Guangzhou scolded him for "sentencing his parents, avoiding hatred, and inhumane feelings".
Wang Yingchen from the Ministry of Secretary said directly when he was ministering, the emperor 'forgets the shame of the years, does he not think about the troubles of accidents at different times? '
Before Zhao Gou had no heirs, he originally planned to pass the position to his stepson after a few years of muddling along, and concentrate on the research of calligraphy and painting art.
But the birth of those two princes directly made this person more and more completely different from before.
In the past few years, he has changed his former good-natured appearance. Not only did he fight with Jin Guoming, he reused the officials of the main battle faction, and he directly punished more than a dozen rebellious officials who faced the crime.
It was like a fierce lion finally opened its eyes.
People gradually realized that the emperor was no longer the peaceful person who could endure everything.
He will be angry and even kill people.
Over the years, the power of the central government has been transferred several times, but the main force has always been suppressed in the hands of Zhao Gou.
Otherwise, the courtiers would have emptied him a long time ago, and deployed defenses according to the most mainstream wishes to prepare for the Jin Kingdom's attack.
He tightened his grip on the repressed monarchy, and began to use Lin Guo to fight against Jin Guo, and now after the official war started, he revealed a bloodthirsty side that was comparable to Wan Yanyong.
Killing envoys, killing Jinmin, all unimaginable decrees were delivered one after another.
What is even more frightening is that he monitored and controlled the ministers in the palace city of Lin'an.
The courtiers didn't know the existence of the monitoring room and bugs at first.
However, Zhao Gou had already negotiated business with Liu Xi and the others, and began to impose more and more surveillance on various government offices in Miyagi, and then eliminated all those he considered a threat.
And in order to guard against Liu Xun, he seldom spoke loudly in the palace, and handed paper and pen documents directly when he had something to do.
All documents were burned face to face after being read.
He became more and more silent and colder.
From a smiling middle-aged artist, he gradually returned to an emperor.
But what Zhao Gou couldn't control was the things he wanted to take away from Linguo completely.
In the era of cold weapons, the existence of hot weapons is a bug.
Whether it is a howitzer or a car, this kind of technology is strictly controlled by Lin Guo, and there is no possibility of being wiretapped or stolen.
Liu Xi and Qian Fan have to confirm this aspect almost every quarter, and even strengthened the political screening of the Senate and the monitoring of the entrance and exit of the scientific research institute several times.
Iris locks and fingerprint locks have been newly added to all necessary book collection and data storage places, and the open permissions have been continuously reduced, and the scope of reading in HowNet has also been continuously reduced.
Like ordnance manufacturing, Song Guo also focused on metal smelting technology.
This is not the first time that Song Guo spied on metal smelting technology.
They proposed a deal in different ways, but Lin Guo refused to let go.
Iron and steel are actually easy to talk about—before the Lin Kingdom suddenly appeared, the amount of iron and steel smelting throughout the Song Kingdom had reached its peak, and the amount of coal and steel was extremely alarming.
In terms of precision, strength, toughness control, and minting ability, the Song Dynasty is simply unmatched.
They are not at all like Linguo, who have inherited thousands of years of culture and technology, and are still in the initial stage of exploration.
If Song State wants to stabilize the economy, it must issue a sufficiently stable currency.
However, if banknotes are issued, they are inferior to Linguo banknotes in terms of anti-counterfeiting ability and price stability. Linguo banknotes can even be exchanged for new ones at any time in many banks, ensuring that everyone has beautifully printed white banknotes in their hands. Whale's new banknote.
In the casting of copper coins, Song Guo really had no choice.
They may need to spend 10 to 14 taels to make [-] taels of copper coins-this is too bad.
Many officials even persuaded the emperor to use iron coins, but they soon lost their voices.
Lin Guo's refusal to give it is naturally for the initiative in many aspects.
The problem is that people in the Senate can hold their breath, but people in the business circle can't.
They have factories, all kinds of machine tools and modelers, and it is not difficult to even get a box of game coins out.
With modern industrial capabilities, it is really not difficult to create a metal currency that can be widely popular in ancient times.
But for the time being, no one dares to touch this business——
Because Qian Fan's grandson is so fucking fierce.
As the person in charge of the military department, Qian Fan has been ordering the redundant military forces to participate in the maintenance of order in turn.
People in the Judicial Yuan and the Senate who tried to make trouble or stir up trouble basically ended up not going well.
The legend that he led a teacher all the way to the north one state after another, is still being told every day by storytellers.
Benefits are certainly attractive, but everyone knows that if you really go over the Senate and contact Song Guo in private, and secretly mint coins for you, you are really looking for death.
At present, Song State's economy is stabilizing, but it does have to pay a corresponding price.
——Linguo said that he can process high-quality copper coins on his behalf, but he must charge processing fees and customs duties.
But also far better than what they built themselves.
Song Guo himself smashed his teeth and swallowed them in his stomach, but he still had to buy these coins that were like toys to the people of Linguo one by one.
And the dozens of messy currencies that were popular in the market before are also being continuously confiscated and cleaned by the Ministry of Commerce.
After studying abroad, the officials of the Ministry of Commerce seemed to have a lot of stuff in their stomachs, and they were able to talk about everything succinctly, as if they were the reincarnation of Guan Zhong.
In two months, they not only learned the highly saturated introduction to economics, but also added a lot of other common sense, and even came into contact with some scientific concepts.
Although Zhao Gou had reservations about the loyalty of these people to the emperor, he had to affirm the ability of these people to solve various problems.
Indeed, the ability has grown a lot.
As the one under the most serious surveillance, Lu You has been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Commerce this year. He is more attentive and faithful to report to him on the big and small matters of the Ministry of Commerce. One of the reassuring officials.
More and more places in Lin'an have been connected to electric lights, and the entire palace city is even more brilliantly lit at night.
The imperial court gradually relaxed and began to allow more people to study in Yangzhou under the control of the imperial court.
In Linguo's side, around mid-August, Li Luan finally passed all the examinations and procedures, and became the second deputy head of state alongside Bailu.
She didn't have time to celebrate her promotion, so she went to Haizhou after attending the inauguration and honors, and began to participate in the reform of the four states.
Changzhou and Zhou belonged to Song State, and they have developed very well now——
The industrial zone is constantly expanding and building, absorbing more migrant workers every day.
But Lin Guo's own old territory should finally be taken care of by the stepmother.
After the battle of Yangzhou that year, Linguo sent troops to fight all the way to Yizhou, and the emperors of the two countries bowed their heads and apologized and begged for peace, and even swallowed a lot of cities.
Sizhou, Haizhou, Chuzhou, and Yizhou are all good places.
But in recent years, the existence of these four states are basically functional areas, and have not been adjusted and planned at a larger level.
Among them, several prefectures are rich in products and have become arterial resource supply areas, constantly sending more fresh blood to the factories in Yangzhou.
In Linguo's development strategy from the very beginning, it was a firm single-city stream.
They must not only resist the inevitable conflicts and wars in the torrent of history, but also find ways to revive industry and technology, so that the total population of Yangzhou City, which is estimated to be over 2000 million, can enjoy the standard of living around [-].
There is no problem with the single-city flow. Yangzhou will continue to annex a wider area in the future and become a multi-functional area like a city.
But those picked up children still need to be tidied up.
After Li Luan became the deputy head of state, his power was further expanded, and he went to the four states to initiate independent reforms.
And the routines she uses are quite similar to those when the Jiangyin people first entered Yangzhou.
The current Yangzhou is the second Jiangyin.
There are restrictions on entering and exiting, and they are all set to be semi-open——
New urban residents and visitors may not be able to enter Yangzhou smoothly, but the inspection procedures for going out are relatively simple.
All four states have begun to open population registration, and recruitment agencies have been established one after another, preparing to build new residential areas and heavy industrial areas.
The existence of these four states should be icing on the cake, but they must not be the lifeblood of Linguo.
If war breaks out in the future, Yangzhou can cut off the connection with these four states without hesitation, but the economy and industrial ecology within its own territory will not be greatly affected, which is the ideal way of coexistence.
Xin Qiji heard the news that Li Luan had gone to the north, and paid a little attention to the news related to the reform of the four states.
All his energy is now focused on holding the first PCA meeting.
In this meeting, many giant businessmen and high-level government officials from Linguo and Songguo, as well as important shareholders of the three enterprises will participate in the meeting.
Not only will they further discuss common macro strategies, but they will also conduct mutual acquaintance and transactions.
The Finance Institute even went directly to Jiangyin Middle School to temporarily pick ten new interns to help arrange the venue and confirm the availability of all personnel.
After everything was ready, the Guangling Hotel was once again full of foreign guests, and the meeting was held as scheduled.
As an intern, he naturally doesn't have a seat, but he can wait in the arena and listen to what these people are discussing by the way.
This time, there are many more familiar faces.
Twelve A-level personnel from Songfang came, nine from Linguoli, all the shareholders of the three multinational companies were present, and all the principals of the four Jiangyin companies were in place.
Yun Qi appeared in front of everyone wearing a Song-style dress, and several neighboring officials changed their colors slightly.
As the deputy head of state, Li Luan also rushed back from Chuzhou by car temporarily for this meeting. When he saw Yun Qi, his face changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at her face.
She has seen her several times, and she always has a strange feeling in her heart.
She knew that this person was originally from Linguo, and she always felt that she had seen her somewhere, but she still couldn't remember.
...What could be the reason?
-
This time, everyone was dressed in formal attire, and Zhao Qingyu sat diagonally across from Liu Xun. The two were looking through the documents and materials of their respective companies from beginning to end, and there was almost no intersection.
It is indeed a bit strange that the friends who were close and joking in the past are now appearing in such a serious manner.
Long Mu has also grown taller now, sitting not far from Qingyu as the dual shareholders of Yishi and Shuyuan, with a calm and steady expression, as if he has grown up.
When I saw Long Mu four years ago...he was just a child.
Xin Qiji didn't pay much attention to Liu Yuanshou, who was exuding a detached and indifferent temperament, and focused on the scheduling and management of the Finance Institute throughout the whole process.
The significance of this session of the PCA meeting is very complex. It not only has cross-border contacts and talks from the business community, but also has the participation and control of the political circles.
Even the participants of the Song Dynasty were refreshed by such a strict organization and orderly order——
Although some of those businessmen may already be wealthy, they have never seen such a procedure for discussing issues.
On the contrary, the officials of the Ministry of Commerce are no strangers to it - they are used to this kind of meeting even in the Song Dynasty, but they will offer a vacant seat and pretend that it is their honorable emperor.
After the main meeting, different participants were led to the sub-session, and once again affirmed the equal status of Linguo women.
This has become a custom.
In the years after the mutation, there were indeed rape cases, molestation cases, etc. to varying degrees in Linguo every year.
But the official's tough attitude on this matter has refreshed the cognition of many old and new urban residents.
And it is constantly spreading to the outside world, and it is talked about by people in the north and south of the river as an anecdote.
Women in Linguo can freely go in and out of public places, wear clothes that expose their arms, legs and even cleavage, read and write, and even engage in politics.
The degree of heterogeneity of this incident made many Song people firmly believe that these incidents were all made up—or Linguo had completely degenerated.
From the perspective of the people of Song Dynasty, women should only have the function of husband and son. For other things, it is a taboo to take an extra step forward.
However, Linguo people believe that women are equal 'human beings' before possessing this gender.
They should have property rights and the right to education, and there is no reason to kidnap them with the concept of chastity.
Those men who clamored, 'She wears so little that I can't touch her', ended up very tragic.
These things are very normal for the Chinese people in 2030, but they are simply fantasy in the ears of Song people——
Not only will those women not feel ashamed and degraded after being touched or even raped, but they will apply for protection and counterattack for their violated rights with a strong posture.
——What's the point of this?
Shouldn't the big girl of Huanghua commit suicide in shame after being bullied?
They don't know that they are not clean anymore, are they broken shoes?
I don't know, next one.
Parallel to this, it is natural that when two or three countries communicate, female officials and servants do not have any need to avoid or cover themselves.
Although it has been suggested that they should dress more tightly in front of businessmen and officials in Song and Jin Dynasties, at least covering their arms and legs, but it was eventually rejected.
Liu Xi's attitude was very firm at the time, so he just repeated: "Protecting them is what the government should do."
They work for the government, and the government should also provide equal rights protection.
In order to prevent remarks like "Your Linguo customs are so strange, we don't know why they are not prostitutes", the Ministry of Culture directly sent people to read the Linguo Women's Protection Order before the group reception, and put all the supervision and illegal consequences Speak clearly.
The further this matter goes, the more it feels wrong.
The businessmen from Huguang, Zhejiang and Huizhou naturally saw everything new, and they would only be surprised when they heard the protection order.
But these words fell into the eyes of the officials of the Song Dynasty, and there was some taint.
——This public warning of these things is clearly to beware of Deng Tuzi.
Although they tend to think that we Song people are all selected from the Four Books and Five Classics, and our ethics and etiquette must be much higher than yours.
But judging from the number of crimes that Song people have been arrested and punished in the past few years...it's really a shame.
Xin Qiji didn't bother to look at those long-legged high-heeled shoes. After leaving the venue, he began to check other forms, preparing to attend the internal meeting of the Senate.
A familiar voice suddenly came from a distance: "——You'an!"
He turned around and saw that it was Lu You.
"Uncle Lu!" He smiled subconsciously, and walked towards him faster.
Lu You is also going to the next meeting of Song Lin officials, and now he only has a few minutes to greet him——
Song Kingdom has now popularized various units of measurement on a large scale, and even electronic clocks can be seen everywhere-it has to be said that it is really easy to use.
"Uncle Lu." Xin Qiji couldn't help smiling when he saw him, as if seeing his own relatives: "I saw in the list of participants that your title is Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce of the State of Song."
His own parents have been arranged for a long time, and they go back to visit once or twice a year, and now the only one who is worried about him is Uncle Lu.
Now that Lu You has reached the age of [-], his uprightness and toughness have diminished a lot, and he also has mixed feelings when he looks at Xin Qiji.
"It can be seen that you have grown a lot." He looked the young man up and down, and murmured, "You have grown taller and more calm."
"After the meeting is over, we can go to Hall C to have dinner together," Xin Qiji said earnestly, "We will have a chance to have a good chat then."
The two briefly said a few words, only said goodbye again, and went to where they should go.
Although Liu Xi knew that You'an must be here, he didn't pay much attention to him.
When that little bastard Qingyu was arguing for the profit, she really didn't care about any affection at all, being so aggressive made one feel a little annoyed.
Even if I'm not doing well, that's all.
As the leader of the pharmaceutical industry, Yishi Group not only has its own scientific research team, but also holds the formulas of many key medicines, so its own existence is already a breeze.
Although Qingyu is only in her early twenties, she has been around with her parents since she was a child, and has learned various methods by ear and eyes. Now she is not inferior to the 45-year-old Hu Pingyu in negotiations.
And the businessmen from Huguang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Huguang... are more capable of pretending to be confused and negotiating prices than the other.
Naturally, there will be no dancing at the dinner party. After they are full, people go to the viewing hall next to them, and start to feel the brand-new night in Yangzhou. They hold wine glasses and start chatting in twos and threes.
Liu Xi chatted with three or four officials until his head was dizzy, so he just found an excuse to get some air, and found a place with fewer people to rest for a while.
The waiter next to him came over to bring a glass of slightly sparkling iced champagne, and he took a sip casually, only to hear a familiar laugh.
He froze for a moment, and saw You An wearing a hat.
The other party's ink eyes were overflowing with brilliance under the light, becoming more and more gloomy like pine smoke entering ink.
Due to the fact that his bun was covered, no one paid attention to his identity.
Everyone got together to talk earnestly, and someone in the distance saw Liu Xun drinking here alone, and he had already started walking towards him, obviously wanting to chat about something.
Without waiting for the two of them to have any eye contact, Liu Xi folded his wrist and knocked over the whole glass of champagne onto the suit, even the tie and the neck were exuding a slightly sweet aroma of wine.
"Oh, I was so careless," he said lightly, "Waiter, where is my room?"
You An skillfully wiped the wine stains on his chest, and then led him to the lounge upstairs to change his clothes.
The moment the door of the cloakroom was closed, the two of them tacitly started to unbutton the tie, cuff buttons and waistband of Liu Xun at the same time.
"Oh..." Liu Xi leaned against the wall like a painting about to be unfolded, and said with a slight smile, "Waiter, are you here to help me change my clothes?"
The other party lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, and only kissed lightly on the side of his ear, his ambiguous voice bursting with steam.
"Before changing clothes, of course you have to take them off first."
"Don't be too gentle," Liu Xi relaxed and opened his arms, allowing the wine-stained white shirt and tie to be thrown on the ground, his voice was lazily bewitching, "The way you bit me last time... I love so much."
You An lowered his eyes and kissed, and said slowly: "Sir, it seems that you have some champagne on your neck?"
"Yes," Liu Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "You can't just change into clean clothes."
"By the way, this is rosé champagne with pinot noir...the taste is indeed sweet and fragrant." With a little drunkenness in his eyes, he let his slender neck be exposed to the dry air, while his body temperature The aroma of wine spread around the two of them: "...do you want to have a taste?"
"...Of course, Your Excellency."
Even in his sleep, his mind is full of those fiery and moist eyes, and the sound of You'an again and again.
Whisper, gasp, sigh.
When the slightly warm fingertips caressed his cheek, it was like a light kiss.
Liu Xi moved slightly, groped and sat up.
The air smelled of humidity after the rain, and the direction of the bathroom still smelled of mint fragrance.
The sky was between dark and twilight, clothes were scattered all over the floor, and with only a slight movement of his body, he touched the warm and smooth waist of another person.
Although the other party was quite tired, he quickly realized that he had woken up, and slowly got up.
"Is it better..." You An's hoarse voice seemed to seduce him again: "Sorry, I still hurt you."
Liu Xi rubbed his messy hair, and began to think about how long they had tossed and tossed from the door to the dining table to the bathroom to the bed yesterday, and his voice was quite hoarse: "I'm a little hungry."
You An leaned over and kissed him lightly on the side of the lips, got up and put on a nightgown, and went to the kitchen to cook quick-frozen dumplings for him.
Filled with fresh shrimp and scallops, it just goes with a pot of Longjing tea.
Since he moved into this apartment, he has subconsciously bought everything related to Liu Xun - cocoa powder, Longjing tea, quick-frozen dumplings, pudding powder.
But at that time, even he himself refused to admit what it meant. He was deceiving himself and others from the time he walked into the store to when he walked out, and he only forced himself to say in his heart that he needed these things.
Liu Xi looked sleepily at the sky outside the window, and then the light in the kitchen was turned on.
Momo jumped onto the bed, and quite consciously rubbed his fluffy head against his palm.
The head of state fumbled out of bed, casually put on You'an's shirt, and walked to his side barefoot.
On a rainy morning, there is the sound of sparse rain outside the window, and the air is humid and slightly cool.
Liu Xi approached Xin Qiji, watched him make tea and dumplings for himself, and raised his hand to caress his long hair hanging down his waist.
On weekdays, Xin Qiji's long hair is tied up.
At that time, the customs of the country were open, and it was not uncommon for Luo Te to have dirty braids and green hair. It's just that people have always had a stereotyped image of officials.
Although Xin Qiji didn't cut off the long hair that hangs down to his waist, because of this, he encountered scrutiny everywhere, but it didn't prevent him from doing everything well.
Liu Xi went to find a comb, put his arms around his waist, and helped him comb it out.
He lowered his eyes and thought about some things, but he was already like a koala, unable to resist being by his side anytime.
If he could, he really wanted to wake up in You'an's arms every day.
Emotion and instinct have always been two different things.
Emotions will be mixed with too much judgment and consideration, and will be restrained and suppressed.
But instinct is instinct, naked desire, irrepressible obsession and love.
Two plates of dumplings were served, and tea was ready.
This house is neither big nor small, but it is a bit more intimate and warm than Liu Xi's 1203 in the past.
The two of them sat at the small dining table and drank a cup of tea next to each other.
Liu Xi ate hungrily, You An ate slowly, and looked sideways at the way he ate.
At this time, thinking about the tacit understanding between the two in the cafeteria, I felt a subtle feeling in my heart.
After Liu Xi and others finally got rid of their hunger, they took a sip of the tea, and after a few seconds of silence, they opened their mouths and said, "You'an."
"Ah."
"I am a responsible person." He took a deep breath: "I think... we should discuss what is the relationship between us and what we should do in the future."
It's refreshing and willful to act only by intuition, but you have to consider the consequences after having fun.
If they were in Shiguo, a more stable and controlled environment, Liu Xun would dare to expose this relationship unscrupulously. After a long relationship, he could still take him to meet his parents. Marry and have children.
"Liu Xi." Xin Qiji put down his chopsticks, turned to him and said, "You are afraid."
Liu Xi stepped back subconsciously, looked up into his eyes, and said in a hoarse voice, "All this has exceeded my expectations..."
"But it can be controlled." Xin Qiji said calmly: "Confirmation of love, frequency of contact, whether to disclose relationship, all of these can be decided by us together."
He leaned forward and held his cold right hand: "Even if you don't trust me, time can prove a lot."
They've done everything couples do, cuddling, kissing, going to bed, sleeping together.
But there is only no confirmation of the relationship, and no public relationship.
Liu Zi stared at him blankly, subconsciously said: "I thought I would make you uncomfortable if I avoided these things."
"If you want to escape, we can take our time."
"If you want to sort it out, we can talk and choose one by one."
No matter where things go, at least I will be by your side.
Xin Qiji looked into his eyes with a cold and steady voice.
"I dared to reach out and hug you only after I was ready."
There have been too many times just to talk about the heart-warming moments.
But in the past four years, the time, identity, position, and thoughts were all unequal and inappropriate.
Liu Xi never thought that the person he likes would mature to this stage.
He used to be clear that the word love mostly leads to 'irrational'.
But the man who pressed him in the bathtub and kissed him in the water for a long time to breathe was him, and now the man with clear logic, calm and steady is also him.
He will not be confused, he will not worry about gains and losses, he will not be restless because he cannot meet and contact all the time, and he will not be tortured by the seemingly non-existent existence of this relationship.
He lacks love but is busy, but he can hold his breath, and he can also give timely and hot enough kisses.
This kind of sanity and maturity in dealing with emotions is really fascinating.
Liu Xi only felt that his eyes were slightly hot, so he leaned over and gave her a kiss.
The bitter aroma of Longjing tea is exchanged again, and the taste of brandy is also more intense.
"This kiss probably spanned 1000 years." He laughed and said, "My existence was shattered and then reorganized to meet you in another time and space that never existed for me."
You An raised his hand to pinch the back of his head, deepening the kiss again.
"You'd better go wash and change," he whispered, "I don't promise I won't keep you until you're late for work."
The Song Kingdom has now produced many outstanding generals and officials one after another, and the one who has been the most popular recently is named Yu Yunwen.
This Yu Yunwen was admitted to the rank of Jinshi, and now he has been promoted to the Nanjing Road Envoy, leading the imperial edict all the way from Xuzhou to Dongping Mansion.
With the development of the industrial zone and the three enterprises and ten enterprises, the economies of the four states are developing at an unusual speed, and the imperial court has a lot more money.
Although for the sake of military stability, they did not cut down the redundant army on a large scale, but after all, this war was under the banner of recovering lost ground. Not only did the people of the government agree with each other, but the people in the north also responded positively, even in the famine Zhongdu took the initiative to donate clothes and food, just to return to the people of the southern country as soon as possible.
Under such circumstances, Jin Guo was like a dog in the water, being trampled on several times.
If there is a battle without Lin Guo's intervention, Song Jin's ability is comparable, and Song Guo may not be able to gain an advantage in a real fight.
However, the First Golden Kingdom suffered from food shortages and famines everywhere, and riots had begun to rise everywhere.
The second is that the State of Song has claimed a batch of Iron Thorn Chariots more than the State of Jin. These chariots are far superior to horse-drawn chariots in terms of lethality and crushing speed, so that as early as when they conquered Xixia, the related reputation has already Spread all over the country.
Now, even if they heard the sound of the flute, the deserters would scatter in all directions, and even the weapons in their hands would be thrown to the ground in a panic.
Once a car is fully powered, it is not a problem to run over hundreds to thousands of people in just 10 minutes.
And Lin Guo has a deep relationship with Song Guo now, and he has already trained many auto repairers to follow the army for repairs.
——This is already quite like a modern tank.
In April of this year, Wan Yanyong finally sent envoys to the border, trying to seek peace.
They managed to continue the plunder and looting after the war started, survived the whole winter and lost a lot of territory, and now they are breathing hard to prepare for the next winter.
But if the fight continues like this, it will do a lot of harm to Jin Guo and will not benefit at all.
After Zhao Gou received the call, he patiently listened to the contents of the peace petition read by the senior officials on the front line.
The Kingdom of Jin didn't care about losing face anymore, they just wanted peace, so much so that Lian Zhong became a subject of the State of Song, and it didn't matter if he turned to pay tribute to the State of Song, saying that everything was easy to talk about.
"Understood." Before hanging up the phone, Zhao Gou smiled faintly: "Chop off that envoy's head."
-
Zhao Gou, in the early decades, can almost be said to be a very weak emperor in history.
In the national book, he once said, "It is the country of great gold between the heaven and the earth, and there is no two superiors!"
And "I would like to go to the honorary title and use Zhengshuo to compare with the vassals."
It doesn't matter that he is such a douchebag by himself, but his identity is the emperor of the Song Kingdom, which is equivalent to rubbing Da Song's face in the mud back and forth, for fear that it will not be disgusting enough.
Not to mention that the emperors of the Jin Kingdom could take turns showing embarrassment to him, the courtiers of the Jin Kingdom could speak disrespectfully to him, and even the traitors who defected to the Jin Kingdom could ruthlessly refute and humiliate him when they were on an envoy.
This is not much better in the country.
The supervisory censor dared to hate him at any time, and the governor of Guangzhou scolded him for "sentencing his parents, avoiding hatred, and inhumane feelings".
Wang Yingchen from the Ministry of Secretary said directly when he was ministering, the emperor 'forgets the shame of the years, does he not think about the troubles of accidents at different times? '
Before Zhao Gou had no heirs, he originally planned to pass the position to his stepson after a few years of muddling along, and concentrate on the research of calligraphy and painting art.
But the birth of those two princes directly made this person more and more completely different from before.
In the past few years, he has changed his former good-natured appearance. Not only did he fight with Jin Guoming, he reused the officials of the main battle faction, and he directly punished more than a dozen rebellious officials who faced the crime.
It was like a fierce lion finally opened its eyes.
People gradually realized that the emperor was no longer the peaceful person who could endure everything.
He will be angry and even kill people.
Over the years, the power of the central government has been transferred several times, but the main force has always been suppressed in the hands of Zhao Gou.
Otherwise, the courtiers would have emptied him a long time ago, and deployed defenses according to the most mainstream wishes to prepare for the Jin Kingdom's attack.
He tightened his grip on the repressed monarchy, and began to use Lin Guo to fight against Jin Guo, and now after the official war started, he revealed a bloodthirsty side that was comparable to Wan Yanyong.
Killing envoys, killing Jinmin, all unimaginable decrees were delivered one after another.
What is even more frightening is that he monitored and controlled the ministers in the palace city of Lin'an.
The courtiers didn't know the existence of the monitoring room and bugs at first.
However, Zhao Gou had already negotiated business with Liu Xi and the others, and began to impose more and more surveillance on various government offices in Miyagi, and then eliminated all those he considered a threat.
And in order to guard against Liu Xun, he seldom spoke loudly in the palace, and handed paper and pen documents directly when he had something to do.
All documents were burned face to face after being read.
He became more and more silent and colder.
From a smiling middle-aged artist, he gradually returned to an emperor.
But what Zhao Gou couldn't control was the things he wanted to take away from Linguo completely.
In the era of cold weapons, the existence of hot weapons is a bug.
Whether it is a howitzer or a car, this kind of technology is strictly controlled by Lin Guo, and there is no possibility of being wiretapped or stolen.
Liu Xi and Qian Fan have to confirm this aspect almost every quarter, and even strengthened the political screening of the Senate and the monitoring of the entrance and exit of the scientific research institute several times.
Iris locks and fingerprint locks have been newly added to all necessary book collection and data storage places, and the open permissions have been continuously reduced, and the scope of reading in HowNet has also been continuously reduced.
Like ordnance manufacturing, Song Guo also focused on metal smelting technology.
This is not the first time that Song Guo spied on metal smelting technology.
They proposed a deal in different ways, but Lin Guo refused to let go.
Iron and steel are actually easy to talk about—before the Lin Kingdom suddenly appeared, the amount of iron and steel smelting throughout the Song Kingdom had reached its peak, and the amount of coal and steel was extremely alarming.
In terms of precision, strength, toughness control, and minting ability, the Song Dynasty is simply unmatched.
They are not at all like Linguo, who have inherited thousands of years of culture and technology, and are still in the initial stage of exploration.
If Song State wants to stabilize the economy, it must issue a sufficiently stable currency.
However, if banknotes are issued, they are inferior to Linguo banknotes in terms of anti-counterfeiting ability and price stability. Linguo banknotes can even be exchanged for new ones at any time in many banks, ensuring that everyone has beautifully printed white banknotes in their hands. Whale's new banknote.
In the casting of copper coins, Song Guo really had no choice.
They may need to spend 10 to 14 taels to make [-] taels of copper coins-this is too bad.
Many officials even persuaded the emperor to use iron coins, but they soon lost their voices.
Lin Guo's refusal to give it is naturally for the initiative in many aspects.
The problem is that people in the Senate can hold their breath, but people in the business circle can't.
They have factories, all kinds of machine tools and modelers, and it is not difficult to even get a box of game coins out.
With modern industrial capabilities, it is really not difficult to create a metal currency that can be widely popular in ancient times.
But for the time being, no one dares to touch this business——
Because Qian Fan's grandson is so fucking fierce.
As the person in charge of the military department, Qian Fan has been ordering the redundant military forces to participate in the maintenance of order in turn.
People in the Judicial Yuan and the Senate who tried to make trouble or stir up trouble basically ended up not going well.
The legend that he led a teacher all the way to the north one state after another, is still being told every day by storytellers.
Benefits are certainly attractive, but everyone knows that if you really go over the Senate and contact Song Guo in private, and secretly mint coins for you, you are really looking for death.
At present, Song State's economy is stabilizing, but it does have to pay a corresponding price.
——Linguo said that he can process high-quality copper coins on his behalf, but he must charge processing fees and customs duties.
But also far better than what they built themselves.
Song Guo himself smashed his teeth and swallowed them in his stomach, but he still had to buy these coins that were like toys to the people of Linguo one by one.
And the dozens of messy currencies that were popular in the market before are also being continuously confiscated and cleaned by the Ministry of Commerce.
After studying abroad, the officials of the Ministry of Commerce seemed to have a lot of stuff in their stomachs, and they were able to talk about everything succinctly, as if they were the reincarnation of Guan Zhong.
In two months, they not only learned the highly saturated introduction to economics, but also added a lot of other common sense, and even came into contact with some scientific concepts.
Although Zhao Gou had reservations about the loyalty of these people to the emperor, he had to affirm the ability of these people to solve various problems.
Indeed, the ability has grown a lot.
As the one under the most serious surveillance, Lu You has been promoted to Minister of the Ministry of Commerce this year. He is more attentive and faithful to report to him on the big and small matters of the Ministry of Commerce. One of the reassuring officials.
More and more places in Lin'an have been connected to electric lights, and the entire palace city is even more brilliantly lit at night.
The imperial court gradually relaxed and began to allow more people to study in Yangzhou under the control of the imperial court.
In Linguo's side, around mid-August, Li Luan finally passed all the examinations and procedures, and became the second deputy head of state alongside Bailu.
She didn't have time to celebrate her promotion, so she went to Haizhou after attending the inauguration and honors, and began to participate in the reform of the four states.
Changzhou and Zhou belonged to Song State, and they have developed very well now——
The industrial zone is constantly expanding and building, absorbing more migrant workers every day.
But Lin Guo's own old territory should finally be taken care of by the stepmother.
After the battle of Yangzhou that year, Linguo sent troops to fight all the way to Yizhou, and the emperors of the two countries bowed their heads and apologized and begged for peace, and even swallowed a lot of cities.
Sizhou, Haizhou, Chuzhou, and Yizhou are all good places.
But in recent years, the existence of these four states are basically functional areas, and have not been adjusted and planned at a larger level.
Among them, several prefectures are rich in products and have become arterial resource supply areas, constantly sending more fresh blood to the factories in Yangzhou.
In Linguo's development strategy from the very beginning, it was a firm single-city stream.
They must not only resist the inevitable conflicts and wars in the torrent of history, but also find ways to revive industry and technology, so that the total population of Yangzhou City, which is estimated to be over 2000 million, can enjoy the standard of living around [-].
There is no problem with the single-city flow. Yangzhou will continue to annex a wider area in the future and become a multi-functional area like a city.
But those picked up children still need to be tidied up.
After Li Luan became the deputy head of state, his power was further expanded, and he went to the four states to initiate independent reforms.
And the routines she uses are quite similar to those when the Jiangyin people first entered Yangzhou.
The current Yangzhou is the second Jiangyin.
There are restrictions on entering and exiting, and they are all set to be semi-open——
New urban residents and visitors may not be able to enter Yangzhou smoothly, but the inspection procedures for going out are relatively simple.
All four states have begun to open population registration, and recruitment agencies have been established one after another, preparing to build new residential areas and heavy industrial areas.
The existence of these four states should be icing on the cake, but they must not be the lifeblood of Linguo.
If war breaks out in the future, Yangzhou can cut off the connection with these four states without hesitation, but the economy and industrial ecology within its own territory will not be greatly affected, which is the ideal way of coexistence.
Xin Qiji heard the news that Li Luan had gone to the north, and paid a little attention to the news related to the reform of the four states.
All his energy is now focused on holding the first PCA meeting.
In this meeting, many giant businessmen and high-level government officials from Linguo and Songguo, as well as important shareholders of the three enterprises will participate in the meeting.
Not only will they further discuss common macro strategies, but they will also conduct mutual acquaintance and transactions.
The Finance Institute even went directly to Jiangyin Middle School to temporarily pick ten new interns to help arrange the venue and confirm the availability of all personnel.
After everything was ready, the Guangling Hotel was once again full of foreign guests, and the meeting was held as scheduled.
As an intern, he naturally doesn't have a seat, but he can wait in the arena and listen to what these people are discussing by the way.
This time, there are many more familiar faces.
Twelve A-level personnel from Songfang came, nine from Linguoli, all the shareholders of the three multinational companies were present, and all the principals of the four Jiangyin companies were in place.
Yun Qi appeared in front of everyone wearing a Song-style dress, and several neighboring officials changed their colors slightly.
As the deputy head of state, Li Luan also rushed back from Chuzhou by car temporarily for this meeting. When he saw Yun Qi, his face changed slightly, and he subconsciously looked at her face.
She has seen her several times, and she always has a strange feeling in her heart.
She knew that this person was originally from Linguo, and she always felt that she had seen her somewhere, but she still couldn't remember.
...What could be the reason?
-
This time, everyone was dressed in formal attire, and Zhao Qingyu sat diagonally across from Liu Xun. The two were looking through the documents and materials of their respective companies from beginning to end, and there was almost no intersection.
It is indeed a bit strange that the friends who were close and joking in the past are now appearing in such a serious manner.
Long Mu has also grown taller now, sitting not far from Qingyu as the dual shareholders of Yishi and Shuyuan, with a calm and steady expression, as if he has grown up.
When I saw Long Mu four years ago...he was just a child.
Xin Qiji didn't pay much attention to Liu Yuanshou, who was exuding a detached and indifferent temperament, and focused on the scheduling and management of the Finance Institute throughout the whole process.
The significance of this session of the PCA meeting is very complex. It not only has cross-border contacts and talks from the business community, but also has the participation and control of the political circles.
Even the participants of the Song Dynasty were refreshed by such a strict organization and orderly order——
Although some of those businessmen may already be wealthy, they have never seen such a procedure for discussing issues.
On the contrary, the officials of the Ministry of Commerce are no strangers to it - they are used to this kind of meeting even in the Song Dynasty, but they will offer a vacant seat and pretend that it is their honorable emperor.
After the main meeting, different participants were led to the sub-session, and once again affirmed the equal status of Linguo women.
This has become a custom.
In the years after the mutation, there were indeed rape cases, molestation cases, etc. to varying degrees in Linguo every year.
But the official's tough attitude on this matter has refreshed the cognition of many old and new urban residents.
And it is constantly spreading to the outside world, and it is talked about by people in the north and south of the river as an anecdote.
Women in Linguo can freely go in and out of public places, wear clothes that expose their arms, legs and even cleavage, read and write, and even engage in politics.
The degree of heterogeneity of this incident made many Song people firmly believe that these incidents were all made up—or Linguo had completely degenerated.
From the perspective of the people of Song Dynasty, women should only have the function of husband and son. For other things, it is a taboo to take an extra step forward.
However, Linguo people believe that women are equal 'human beings' before possessing this gender.
They should have property rights and the right to education, and there is no reason to kidnap them with the concept of chastity.
Those men who clamored, 'She wears so little that I can't touch her', ended up very tragic.
These things are very normal for the Chinese people in 2030, but they are simply fantasy in the ears of Song people——
Not only will those women not feel ashamed and degraded after being touched or even raped, but they will apply for protection and counterattack for their violated rights with a strong posture.
——What's the point of this?
Shouldn't the big girl of Huanghua commit suicide in shame after being bullied?
They don't know that they are not clean anymore, are they broken shoes?
I don't know, next one.
Parallel to this, it is natural that when two or three countries communicate, female officials and servants do not have any need to avoid or cover themselves.
Although it has been suggested that they should dress more tightly in front of businessmen and officials in Song and Jin Dynasties, at least covering their arms and legs, but it was eventually rejected.
Liu Xi's attitude was very firm at the time, so he just repeated: "Protecting them is what the government should do."
They work for the government, and the government should also provide equal rights protection.
In order to prevent remarks like "Your Linguo customs are so strange, we don't know why they are not prostitutes", the Ministry of Culture directly sent people to read the Linguo Women's Protection Order before the group reception, and put all the supervision and illegal consequences Speak clearly.
The further this matter goes, the more it feels wrong.
The businessmen from Huguang, Zhejiang and Huizhou naturally saw everything new, and they would only be surprised when they heard the protection order.
But these words fell into the eyes of the officials of the Song Dynasty, and there was some taint.
——This public warning of these things is clearly to beware of Deng Tuzi.
Although they tend to think that we Song people are all selected from the Four Books and Five Classics, and our ethics and etiquette must be much higher than yours.
But judging from the number of crimes that Song people have been arrested and punished in the past few years...it's really a shame.
Xin Qiji didn't bother to look at those long-legged high-heeled shoes. After leaving the venue, he began to check other forms, preparing to attend the internal meeting of the Senate.
A familiar voice suddenly came from a distance: "——You'an!"
He turned around and saw that it was Lu You.
"Uncle Lu!" He smiled subconsciously, and walked towards him faster.
Lu You is also going to the next meeting of Song Lin officials, and now he only has a few minutes to greet him——
Song Kingdom has now popularized various units of measurement on a large scale, and even electronic clocks can be seen everywhere-it has to be said that it is really easy to use.
"Uncle Lu." Xin Qiji couldn't help smiling when he saw him, as if seeing his own relatives: "I saw in the list of participants that your title is Shangshu of the Ministry of Commerce of the State of Song."
His own parents have been arranged for a long time, and they go back to visit once or twice a year, and now the only one who is worried about him is Uncle Lu.
Now that Lu You has reached the age of [-], his uprightness and toughness have diminished a lot, and he also has mixed feelings when he looks at Xin Qiji.
"It can be seen that you have grown a lot." He looked the young man up and down, and murmured, "You have grown taller and more calm."
"After the meeting is over, we can go to Hall C to have dinner together," Xin Qiji said earnestly, "We will have a chance to have a good chat then."
The two briefly said a few words, only said goodbye again, and went to where they should go.
Although Liu Xi knew that You'an must be here, he didn't pay much attention to him.
When that little bastard Qingyu was arguing for the profit, she really didn't care about any affection at all, being so aggressive made one feel a little annoyed.
Even if I'm not doing well, that's all.
As the leader of the pharmaceutical industry, Yishi Group not only has its own scientific research team, but also holds the formulas of many key medicines, so its own existence is already a breeze.
Although Qingyu is only in her early twenties, she has been around with her parents since she was a child, and has learned various methods by ear and eyes. Now she is not inferior to the 45-year-old Hu Pingyu in negotiations.
And the businessmen from Huguang, Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Huguang... are more capable of pretending to be confused and negotiating prices than the other.
Naturally, there will be no dancing at the dinner party. After they are full, people go to the viewing hall next to them, and start to feel the brand-new night in Yangzhou. They hold wine glasses and start chatting in twos and threes.
Liu Xi chatted with three or four officials until his head was dizzy, so he just found an excuse to get some air, and found a place with fewer people to rest for a while.
The waiter next to him came over to bring a glass of slightly sparkling iced champagne, and he took a sip casually, only to hear a familiar laugh.
He froze for a moment, and saw You An wearing a hat.
The other party's ink eyes were overflowing with brilliance under the light, becoming more and more gloomy like pine smoke entering ink.
Due to the fact that his bun was covered, no one paid attention to his identity.
Everyone got together to talk earnestly, and someone in the distance saw Liu Xun drinking here alone, and he had already started walking towards him, obviously wanting to chat about something.
Without waiting for the two of them to have any eye contact, Liu Xi folded his wrist and knocked over the whole glass of champagne onto the suit, even the tie and the neck were exuding a slightly sweet aroma of wine.
"Oh, I was so careless," he said lightly, "Waiter, where is my room?"
You An skillfully wiped the wine stains on his chest, and then led him to the lounge upstairs to change his clothes.
The moment the door of the cloakroom was closed, the two of them tacitly started to unbutton the tie, cuff buttons and waistband of Liu Xun at the same time.
"Oh..." Liu Xi leaned against the wall like a painting about to be unfolded, and said with a slight smile, "Waiter, are you here to help me change my clothes?"
The other party lowered his eyes and smiled lightly, and only kissed lightly on the side of his ear, his ambiguous voice bursting with steam.
"Before changing clothes, of course you have to take them off first."
"Don't be too gentle," Liu Xi relaxed and opened his arms, allowing the wine-stained white shirt and tie to be thrown on the ground, his voice was lazily bewitching, "The way you bit me last time... I love so much."
You An lowered his eyes and kissed, and said slowly: "Sir, it seems that you have some champagne on your neck?"
"Yes," Liu Xi raised his eyebrows and said, "You can't just change into clean clothes."
"By the way, this is rosé champagne with pinot noir...the taste is indeed sweet and fragrant." With a little drunkenness in his eyes, he let his slender neck be exposed to the dry air, while his body temperature The aroma of wine spread around the two of them: "...do you want to have a taste?"
"...Of course, Your Excellency."
