Chapter 65

The carriage and horse slowly stopped, and dust danced in the air, as if celebrating this moment.

Emperor Jingjiang and the officials who had set foot on this land looked calm, but those who had just arrived were shocked speechless by the sight before them.

Their eyes widened and their mouths opened wide, as if they wanted to swallow the entire county.

"Is this really a county?" Someone couldn't help but ask, his voice full of disbelief.

The city wall is tall and strong, like a giant dragon winding in the sky, guarding this land.

The guards on the city wall were wearing iron armor and steel helmets, with blazing eyes and a majestic look.

At the gate of the city, there were bustling people, standing or sitting, talking or laughing, with smiles of happiness and satisfaction on their faces.

The most eye-catching ones are the children in festive costumes, who line up in two rows, holding hands, with expectations and joy written on their faces.

At this moment, all the officials couldn't help but turn their attention to Lin Xiaofeng.

The young man had been standing aside silently without saying a word, but his eyes were full of confidence and determination.

They couldn't help but think that this young man whom they ignored or even despised could actually build such a prosperous city in such a remote corner! What kind of ability and courage is this!

Emperor Jingjiang also showed an appreciative smile on his face.

He got out of the car, took a deep breath of fresh air, and felt the unique prosperity and tranquility of this county.

Here you can find the hustle and bustle of the city without losing the tranquility and natural scenery of the countryside. A place like this really makes people forget to leave.

"Your Majesty, please enter the city." Lin Xiaofeng stepped forward and saluted respectfully. Although his voice was not loud, it was full of confidence and determination.

Emperor Jingjiang chuckled and nodded. He took a step forward and walked towards the city gate first. Seeing this, the children on both sides sang cheerful songs: "Only Your Majesty is good in the world, and His Majesty's children are like treasures..." The innocent singing echoed in the air, making people happy. His mind couldn't help but become pure.

Emperor Jingjiang was infected by the children's singing, and the smile on his face became brighter. He thought to himself, this Lin Xiaofeng is indeed an amazing talent! Not only did he make this county so prosperous and beautiful, he also firmly held the hearts of the people in his hands. Such talents will surely become the pillars of the country in the future!

The officials following Emperor Jingjiang sighed in their hearts: This Lin Xiaofeng is really an amazing person! He not only has extraordinary ability and courage, but also has unfathomable scheming and wisdom. It seems that we really underestimated him before! They looked at Lin Xiaofeng's back with awe and admiration in their eyes.

Suddenly, there seemed to be an undercurrent surging in the shadow of the city gate, and a group of children swam out of the shadow like small fish. Holding colorful bouquets in their hands, they jumped towards Emperor Jingjiang. This scene is like a stone being thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples. The arrival of the children seemed to inject a fresh spring of water into this solemn occasion, making people want to laugh with them.

The children fell to the ground one after another, and their young voices shouted in unison: "I have met His Majesty the Emperor." This voice was like an echo from ancient times, which reminded people of that ancient era, when the people respected and respected the emperor. Awe. Emperor Jingjiang was caught off guard by this sudden scene. A trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by a warm smile.

He quickly helped up a little fat kid next to him and gently patted the dust on his body, as if he were treating a piece of precious porcelain. The little fat boy blinked his big bright eyes with an innocent look on his face. He suddenly kissed Emperor Jingjiang quickly, and then shyly hid back in the embrace of the crowd. Emperor Jingjiang touched his cheek, where the warm lip marks of the little chubby boy still remained, and he couldn't help but laugh happily.

"Child, what is your name?" he asked gently. The little fat boy's voice was young and clear: "Your Majesty, my name is Chuan Aijing." He continued: "I grew up listening to the county magistrate telling your story since I was a child. Today I heard that you are coming, so I specially gave it to you. I’ve prepared a gift!”

The officials were also moved by the little fat boy's naivety, and long-lost smiles appeared on their faces. In this court full of intrigues and intrigues, such innocence and kindness are particularly precious. Emperor Jingjiang's curiosity was aroused. He had seen countless treasures, but at this moment he was full of expectations for a child's gift.

The little fat boy carefully took out a crumpled piece of paper from his arms, then unfolded it and held it up in front of Emperor Jingjiang. It was a simple graffiti drawing with two stick figures in the middle - one big and one small. The little one holds a stick in his hand. Grass and a bunch of circles of unknown meaning are drawn on the ground, and a sun is drawn in the sky. Emperor Jingjiang couldn't help but laugh when he looked at the painting. He asked, "What does this mean?"

The little fat boy pointed his chubby little finger at the little stick figure in the painting and said, "This is our county magistrate." Then he pointed at the big stick figure, "This is your Majesty." Emperor Jingjiang continued to ask, "Then what is the circle below? What do you mean?" The little fat boy explained seriously: "Your Majesty is surrounded by bad people, and our county magistrate will chop off their heads with a sword to protect your Majesty!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the officials suddenly turned ugly, and they all glared at Lin Xiaofeng who was standing aside. Lin Xiaofeng sneered indifferently, his heart full of pride and ridicule. Every action and every word was carefully designed by him. He just wanted to make these people feel angry and helpless.

However, Emperor Jingjiang was not affected by the emotions of the officials. Instead, he burst out laughing. "Good boy! What a good boy!" He praised, then put down the little fat boy in his arms and strode towards the city. When the people at the city gate saw this scene, they knelt down and shouted in unison: "Welcome Your Majesty to the city! Long live my emperor! Long live my emperor!!" Their voices were deafening, as if they were going to shake the entire sky.

Emperor Jingjiang smiled and waved to them, then he continued walking towards the city. His steps were firm and powerful, as if he wanted to trample the entire country under his feet. And the little fat boy was standing in the crowd, smiling and watching all this, as if he was proud of his masterpiece.

Emperor Jingjiang walked in the city and felt the prosperity and hustle and bustle of the city. There are shops on both sides of the street with a variety of products that are dizzying. The people saluted and said hello to him one after another, with happy smiles on their faces. All this made Emperor Jingjiang feel extremely satisfied and proud.

Emperor Jingjiang stepped into the city contentedly, with an expression like a general returning from victory. His arrival was like the spring breeze blowing through dead trees, bringing vitality and vitality to this long-dormant city. However, the moment he just stepped through the city gate, the cheering people seemed to have been pressed on the pause button. The cheers suddenly stopped and were replaced by dead silence. They stared at this group of outsiders with vigilant eyes, as if they were looking at a group of uninvited guests, their eyes full of doubts and uneasiness.

Cold sweat dripped from the foreheads of the officials. They looked at each other and murmured in their hearts: "In Lin Xiaofeng's eyes, except for His Majesty, are we all not human beings?" This feeling of being ignored made them feel unhappy, but they were helpless. They could only bite the bullet and follow Emperor Jingjiang, but they had mixed feelings in their hearts.

Lin Xiaofeng also noticed this subtle atmosphere, with a look of helplessness on his face. He didn't want to make the people feel uneasy, but Yangqu County's long-term isolation and xenophobia forced him to face this situation. He sighed inwardly, but he could only bite the bullet and step forward, trying his best to resolve this embarrassment.

When everyone entered the city, Lin Xiaofeng walked to the front of the team. He cleared his throat and announced loudly: "My lords, you must be hungry and thirsty after a long journey." As soon as he finished speaking, some people couldn't bear it. After swallowing, the "gudong" sound in his throat sounded particularly loud in the silent air, as if in response to Lin Xiaofeng's words.

"The county has prepared a sumptuous dinner for everyone," Lin Xiaofeng continued, his voice echoing in the empty streets. "You can enjoy it later. After dinner, there will be a folk art performance with our county's characteristics." Enjoy, everyone! After a night’s rest, I will take you all to enjoy the magnificent scene of the potato fields in their prime!”

"Wang Lao Er!" Lin Xiaofeng suddenly shouted loudly, and the sound made the windows on both sides of the street buzz. "Take all the adults to have a meal quickly, and be careful with the hospitality!"

The officials were relieved when they heard this, and they were secretly glad that Lin Xiaofeng had finally done something decent. In a relaxed mood, they began to look at their surroundings curiously. The sight before them shocked them: brand-new buildings were rising from the ground, and the stone pavements on both sides of the streets were as clean and tidy as if they had just been washed with water; the people were busy in an orderly manner, and their faces were filled with happiness and satisfaction. Smile; there is a quiet and peaceful atmosphere in the air, making people feel extremely comfortable and relaxed. All this was very different from the Yangqu County they imagined, and they couldn't help but look at Lin Xiaofeng with admiration.

The group of people soon arrived in front of Lao Er Restaurant. Emperor Jingjiang looked at the familiar sign and felt a warm current in his heart. It was here that I formally met Lin Xiaofeng for the first time, and those wonderful memories seemed like just yesterday. He clearly remembered that Lin Xiaofeng was still a young boy at that time, but now he has grown into a parent. This change made him feel extremely gratified.

The reason why Lin Xiaofeng chose Laoer Restaurant as the place to entertain Emperor Jingjiang was, on the one hand, because the food here was delicious and the environment was elegant; on the other hand, Emperor Jingjiang was very satisfied when he dined here and it left a deep impression on him. . Moreover, Wang Laoer once gave him a jar of fine wine, which he would never forget. Therefore, when he learned that the emperor was about to arrive, he did not hesitate to hand over the reception task to Wang Laoer. At this moment, he was standing at the door of the restaurant, with mixed feelings in his heart. He not only hoped that the emperor would be satisfied with this arrangement, but he was also worried about any unexpected situations that might occur. But now we can only take one step at a time.

At this time, there were still many diners dining on the first floor of the restaurant. They all showed surprised expressions when they saw Lin Xiaofeng and Emperor Jingjiang in yellow robes. They all knelt down in panic to say hello, shouting "Long live long live long live long live". The scene was even more lively than the Chinese New Year. Seeing this, Wang Laoer quickly knelt down in front of Emperor Jingjiang and said: "Your Majesty, forgive me! It was the common people who neglected to arrange for you to have a meal on the second floor but forgot to clean the first floor. I will drive them away right now!" After that, he was going to do it! Get up and chase people away.

Emperor Jingjiang waved his sleeves and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter! Don't hinder others from eating. Let's go to the second floor." After that, he walked up the stairs on his own, and his back looked particularly tall and majestic in the dim light. . Seeing this, everyone quickly followed him, fearing that if they were a step too late, they would offend the noble Emperor.

Lin Xiaofeng stood there, his eyes sweeping across a deserted field. There was no one around, except Wang Laoer, who was still kneeling on the ground, like a forgotten rice in the field. He walked over slowly, each step seeming to carry a heavy sigh. He frowned slightly, and his voice was low and powerful, like a stone thrown into the lake, causing ripples: "Wang Laoer, you look like this, it is really disappointing. How can you not handle such a small thing properly? How can you behave!" "

His hands gently lifted up Wang Laoer, his movements were like lifting up a wounded soldier, full of helplessness and pity. He continued: "Your Majesty has made it clear that there is no problem, why do you have to be so panicked?" There was a hint of reproach in his voice, but it was more caring.

Lin Xiaofeng looked around and his eyes fell on the diners who were enjoying roast rabbit. His brows could not help but frown even more. He turned to Wang Laoer, his eyes full of doubts: "When did the trend of eating rabbits start in this city? Why haven't I seen any notice posted?" There was a trace of confusion in his voice, as if the world had suddenly become strange. stand up.

Wang Laoer stood up with an honest smile on his face. He scratched his head and said with some embarrassment: "Master, you have been busy with official duties these days and have not returned home. Of course you don't know. This rabbit is a new rabbit bred by the county research institute." The varieties and prices are very close to the people, so they are very popular among the people." His voice was full of pride, as if he was endorsing this emerging trend.

However, Lin Xiaofeng was not relieved. His brows furrowed even more tightly, and he felt uneasy in his heart. He remembered the trend of eating monkey brains that was popular in the city some time ago, and couldn't help but ask: "What about the monkey brains? Why don't you see anyone eating them?" There was a hint of urgency in his voice, as if he was looking for some kind of answer.

Hearing this, Wang Laoer showed embarrassment on his face. He scratched his head and said hesitantly: "Master, you don't know something. Monkey brains were really popular some time ago, but unfortunately, the number of monkeys in the back mountain is limited, and now they are all gone." There are not many left. The institute is trying to breed more monkeys to meet the needs of the people." There was a hint of helplessness in his voice, as if he was telling an unchangeable fact.

Lin Xiaofeng was shocked when he heard this. The research institute actually sells animals used in experiments? He grabbed Wang Laoer by the collar, his eyes full of anger: "Wang Laoer, listen to me! Are the ingredients used in today's cooking included animals sold by these research institutes?" His voice was full of anger. It was majestic, as if a beast was roaring.

Wang Laoer was taken by Lin Xiaofeng's momentum and panicked. He waved his hands repeatedly with a trace of panic in his voice: "No, no, sir. Don't worry, your majesty will use the freshest and safest ingredients for his meals. Those research institutes I, Mr. Wang Laoer, will never dare to use the cheap stuff!" His voice was full of determination, as if he was swearing.

Lin Xiaofeng felt a little at ease after hearing this. He patted Wang Laoer on the shoulder, with a hint of relief in his voice: "Remember, if there is a problem with the eating of these animals, can you afford it? From now on, no food ingredients from the institute are allowed to be purchased! If there is any problem, I will take it You're asking!" His voice was full of seriousness, as if he was giving an order.

Wang Laoer nodded repeatedly. Although he was uneasy, he also knew the temper of this master, so he had no choice but to agree. There was a hint of respect in his voice: "Yes, yes, Master. I will definitely remember your words and never do it again." Lin Xiaofeng felt a little relieved when he saw that he readily agreed. He turned around and walked towards the second floor, saying in his mouth: "Hurry up and cook for Your Majesty! Give me the kitchen knives and cutting boards, blanch them with hot water, and brush them several times!" There was a hint of urgency in his voice, as if What is urging.

At Emperor Jingjiang's royal banquet, each dish was like a finely crafted work of art, respectfully and carefully presented in front of everyone's eyes. The fragrance they emit is like the fragrant fragrance spread by fairies far away from the world, which makes people intoxicated involuntarily. Those dishes are not only delicacies that satisfy the appetite, but also the result of the hard work and sweat of the chefs in Yangqu County.

The officials were so hungry that their chests were pressed against their backs, and the little food they had in the morning had long been wasted on the bumpy road. At this moment, their eyes were fixed on the table of sumptuous meals, and their eyes revealed their infinite desire for food. It seems that as long as the order is given, they will pounce on it without hesitation and feast on it.

Finally, Emperor Jingjiang raised his chopsticks. At that moment, it seemed as if the whole world stood still for a moment. Immediately afterwards, the ministers also raised their chopsticks. For a while, the sound of chopsticks colliding with the plates came and went, like a beautiful symphony.

During the dinner, Lin Xiaofeng secretly handed a delicate dessert to the princess while no one was paying attention. However, his move happened to be seen by Li Dexian, who had been secretly observing him. Li Dexian frowned slightly, and just as he was about to say something to stop him, he saw Lin Xiaofeng quietly handing over a banknote. That was a one-hundred-tael silver note, enough to shut him up. So, Li Dexian chose to remain silent, but there was a bit of complexity in his eyes.

Half an hour passed quickly between pushing cups and changing cups. Everyone ate to their heart’s content and praised the food in Yangqu County. Those who were originally hostile to Lin Xiaofeng now had to admit that he was indeed a rare genius.

At this moment, Lin Xiaofeng found Wang Laoer again and whispered: "After we finish eating, you can go to an inn to ask for the account from the old man." As he said that, he stretched out his hand and pointed. Pointing to Li Qiuyan, the Minister of Household Affairs. Li Qiuyan was eating with gusto at the moment and didn't notice Lin Xiaofeng's movements at all. However, his eyes were as sharp as knives, and he caught Lin Xiaofeng's movements with just one glance. His expression changed slightly, and he glared at Lin Xiaofeng fiercely, with a hint of dissatisfaction and warning in his eyes.

Wang Laoer was frightened by Li Qiuyan's gaze and asked with some anxiety: "Master, what if he doesn't pay? And the county government has already paid me the money in advance." His voice was trembling. , obviously feeling unsure.

Lin Xiaofeng smiled nonchalantly and whispered: "If he doesn't give it to you, make a loud noise! ​​Don't forget, His Majesty also lives in that inn. When the time comes, His Majesty will be alerted and we'll see if he gives it to you!" There was a cunning look in his eyes, as if he had anticipated Li Qiuyan's reaction.

After Wang Laoer heard this, he suddenly felt confident. He nodded and asked tentatively: "Then, what should I do with the extra money after the discount?" He stared at Lin Xiaofeng closely, waiting for his answer.

Lin Xiaofeng thought for a moment, and then said: "You keep half of the extra money and donate the rest to the nursing home. Then return the money given to you by the county government." Although his voice was not high, every word was clear. It reached Wang Laoer's ears.

After hearing this, Wang Laoer felt grateful in his heart. He quickly responded: "I understand! I understand!" At this moment, he admired Lin Xiaofeng to the point of admiration.

After the explanation, Lin Xiaofeng squeezed Wang Jingwen away, came to Emperor Jingjiang's side and asked, "Your Majesty, are you satisfied with the food? Is it satisfactory?" His face was full of smiles, like a child waiting for praise.

Emperor Jingjiang was in a very good mood at the moment. He nodded with joy and said: "Yes! Okay! Lin Aiqing, you really did not disappoint me. This meal is the most satisfying meal I have ever had!" His voice was loud and clear. Powerful, obviously extremely satisfied with the meal.

After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng felt happy. He responded with a smile on his face: "It is my honor to serve His Majesty." As he said that, he glanced at Li Dexian specifically, his eyes full of provocation and pride.

However, at this moment, a resentful look suddenly glanced at him. Lin Xiaofeng knew very well that it was the princess's gaze. He complained secretly in his heart, but pretended not to know and continued talking to Emperor Jingjiang.

"Then let me arrange the rest of the matter!" Lin Xiaofeng took the opportunity to say.

Emperor Jingjiang was immersed in the aftertaste of the food, like a traveler exploring the depths of the universe, savoring the unique flavor of each dish. There was a bit of satisfaction and joy in his eyes, as if at this moment, the prosperity and tranquility of the entire universe were condensed on the tip of his tongue.

After hearing Lin Xiaofeng's words, Emperor Jingjiang nodded gently. His movements were like the trajectory of stars, calm and firm. His voice was like a signal traveling through the stars. Although it was weak, it was full of trust and expectation: "Okay! I'll leave it to you to arrange it!" In these words, Emperor Jingjiang had high hopes for Lin Xiaofeng, as if he had determined the fate of the entire universe. It's all in his hands.

Lin Xiaofeng felt this heavy trust. He immediately stood up and announced loudly like a commander: "My lords, are you satisfied with this meal?" His voice was like the Milky Way falling from the sky, shocking and passionate, echoing in the towering sky. in the main hall.

The officials responded sparsely: "Satisfied!" Although their voices were not uniform, they were like the resonance among the stars, full of sincerity and joy. Obviously, this meal was like stars, lighting up the satisfaction and joy in their hearts.

Lin Xiaofeng nodded with satisfaction, a proud smile on his face, as if a creator was admiring his own work. He continued: "Okay! Let's take a rest for a while. I will take you to my Yangqu Grand Theater to enjoy opera in a while, just in time to relax!"

Lin Xiaofeng's words were like the guidance of the stars, depicting a night full of art and culture for the officials. His satisfaction was as bright as the stars, lighting up the entire hall.

So far, everything goes well. The banquet between Emperor Jingjiang and the officials was like the movement of the Milky Way, both orderly and full of vitality. Lin Xiaofeng is the helmsman of this feast, leading them on an unknown joyful journey.

After having had enough wine and food, Lin Xiaofeng's belly bulged slightly, like a plump ear of rice. Under the baptism of the bright moonlight, the full sense of satisfaction became heavier and more solid. He, an official with a treasure trove of poems and books, led a group of colleagues also wearing heavy cloaks on the long road to the Yangqu Grand Theatre. At this moment, the night is so thick that it seems like it can drip out ink, and the vast stars are like pearls splashed on the black velvet canopy, breaking their shells one by one in silence. They whisper in the dark night, as if weaving a costume for the upcoming midnight drama. A thick and mysterious cloak.

Along the way, the figures of the officials swayed in the shadow of the moon. They were each wrapped in gorgeous silk robes. Their whispers revealed their searching eyes and full of curiosity. They all guessed what happened behind the curtain of the night. What an eye-catching and wonderful performance is hidden, it is enough to make the world wait with bated breath.

As the pace progresses, the grand door of Yangqu Grand Theater, which carries the vicissitudes of history, slowly opens, as if an old man is recounting countless old stories to the past years. Stepping in, the view suddenly widens, and a solemn and ethereal stage stands proudly, with majestic momentum standing in it like an otherworldly art palace. The interior decoration of the theater is elegant and exquisite, with wood carvings and stone carvings showing ingenious craftsmanship. Every inch of texture exudes unique artistic temperament, like a treasure isolated from the world. Several shining oil lamps hung from the huge copper chandelier. The lights danced among the countless lenses inlaid on the four walls, and finally converged into rays of light, all falling on the core area of ​​the stage, covering the scene that was originally shrouded in unknown fog. The area lights up instantly, causing it to shine with a dazzling light.

At this time, Emperor Jingjiang was sitting firmly on a sofa wrapped in layers of smooth velvet. As soon as he came into contact with the unprecedented soft texture, he couldn't help but be slightly startled, but soon, the surprise quickly turned into the comfort of being immersed in it. And comfort. His body was like a light floating cloud, blending leisurely and elegantly into the endless ocean of comfort. He half-closed his eyes and raised a deep and satisfied smile at the corner of his lips. Facing Lin Xiaofeng, he expressed his feelings with emotion: "Lin Aiqing, the design of this sofa is unparalleled. I have never experienced such comfort in my life." I feel so comfortable that I never imagined that there would be such a couch in the world, which makes people linger and forget to leave."

After hearing this, a faint smile appeared on Lin Xiaofeng's face, just like the spring breeze ruffling the surface of a calm lake, causing ripples to spread, gentle yet elegant. "Your Majesty, thank you for the award. This is just an insignificant gift that I carefully selected for Your Majesty. I only hope that it can bring some peace and leisure time to Your Majesty in the hustle and bustle of Kyoto." There was a burst of joy deep in his heart. Knowing that this seemingly ordinary sofa had actually been recently replaced, it was well worth the money to receive such high praise from His Majesty. The rewards brought by this delicate thought made him quite proud, and it also strengthened his determination to serve the country. The determination of the people to devote themselves wholeheartedly.

Looking back on his early years, Lin Xiaofeng, with his ardent ideal of improving the quality of people's lives, combined with his deep-seated love for culture and art, resolutely poured huge amounts of wealth into building a majestic and magnificent theater. . He was not interested in the common folk performances in Yangqu. However, when night fell and the lights first came on, he saw the crowds of people gathering in front of the theater and the extremely hot ticket sales. An indescribable and subtle sense of accomplishment would come to him. The heart is quietly growing, like a river with undercurrents. It is calm on the surface, but in fact it is full of surging power.

Lin Xiaofeng not only funded the construction of the academy, but also personally reshaped the classics with his creative writing skills. He refined and recreated well-known stories such as "Journey to the West" and "The Legend of White Snake", simplifying them and making them suitable for presentation on the theater stage. Once these carefully adapted works were staged, they immediately aroused enthusiastic responses from the audience. The box office has continued to rise, achieving repeated successes and becoming a hot topic in the streets.

At this moment, all the officials had already filed in and settled into their seats. They circled around the theater, their eyes falling on the uniquely designed sofas that had never been seen before. Everyone's eyes shone with uncontrollable curiosity. Light, but the identity of holding the scepter forced them to hide their intention to inquire, and could only show their dignity in a silent posture. The dim yellow lights fell, reflecting them into a dynamic portrait of the ministers, waiting for the curtain of the late-night drama feast to slowly open.

Among this group of dignitaries, Bai Yongyuan, an old man who has been tempered by the world, leans slightly on the back of a large and heavy chair. His posture is like an ancient pine facing the wind. He has been baptized by wind and rain but remains strong and upright. He found a rare tranquility in the passing time, and let out a long sigh, which contained endless years of accumulation and philosophy of life: "It is indeed rare that such an exquisite and comfortable seat can be moved if it is moved." My own mansion will definitely become a bright spot in the evening life, allowing this old body entangled with stubborn diseases to enjoy some long-lost peace in a short period of time. I am secretly happy, knowing that such comfort is really good for the sick body. It is an incomparable comfort." Although his words were soft, they struck the depths of every listener's soul like a drum in the evening and a bell in the morning, causing resonance.

At this moment, Chen Shuguang heard Bai Yongyuan's words, but he did not raise his voice to echo, but whispered into his ear, his voice was like the faint mosquito buzz on a summer night, mixed with a trace of imperceptible sadness and depression: "Old Bai, why don't you personally Ask Lin Xiaofeng about the origin of this chair? In fact, I have also been fascinated by it for a long time." Although Chen Shuguang's words were subtle, they clearly conveyed the expectations and yearning deep in his heart.

After hearing this, Bai Yongyuan's eyes flashed, his thick eyebrows were instantly furrowed, and an awe-inspiring and inviolable aura of majesty suddenly condensed between his eyebrows. He asked Chen Shuguang calmly and forcefully: "Why don't you go find out on your own?" Although the words were short, they were sonorous and powerful. They seemed to question Chen Shuguang's hesitation and hesitation, and at the same time, they also hinted at expectations for his courage and determination.

At this moment, in the lobby, many guests were seated in an orderly manner, and a solemn yet warm atmosphere filled the surroundings. The serving maids held crystal-clear celadon tea cups in their hands, and walked briskly, like dancing elves, as they shuttled between the guests. The tea brewed in the cup was extraordinary, it was the royal treasure that Lin Xiaofeng enjoyed exclusively on weekdays, while other guests tasted the medicinal tea soup carefully prepared by famous doctors to regulate qi and blood and nourish the body and mind. What is particularly eye-catching is that Lin Xiaofeng specially presented a delicate and exquisite dessert to show her high respect for Princess Li Hanmiao who was present at the scene. This move was like a groundbreaking move, which attracted the attention of others, especially Li Dexian. Li Dexian's eyes were as sharp as a torch, passing through the crowd, past the majestic figure of Emperor Jingjiang, and locked onto Lin Xiaofeng's movements, trying to understand every detail of him.

Faced with such a situation, Lin Xiaofeng remained calm and composed. He turned his face and gave Princess Li Hanmiao a gentle and elegant smile. His words were sincere and enthusiastic: "Your Highness, the play that will be presented today is wonderfully conceived and exciting, especially the finale. "The Legend of White Snake" will show the passionate love legend between humans and gods from a unique perspective. I believe that His Highness's visit will be filled with content and leave a deep impression."

After hearing this, Princess Li Hanmiao's cheeks bloomed with a smile like cherry blossoms in spring. The beauty of that moment was enough to dispel the fatigue caused by traveling thousands of miles. She was delighted with all the new things in Yangqu County, and even the hardships on the journey were already overwhelmed by this joy.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lin Xiaofeng quietly walked to Emperor Jingjiang and humbly reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, the curtain of the stage is about to be unveiled. I will go ahead and make the final arrangements." The emperor nodded gently. , acquiescing to his actions.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Xiaofeng walked out of the magnificent theater with steady steps and went straight to find Wang Yingchao waiting outside. "What's going on in the sweet potato field now?" He got straight to the point without any redundancy.

Upon seeing this, Wang Yingchao hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, with a solemn and respectful expression: "Please rest assured, sir, since we received your written instructions, we have sent reliable people to guard the field day and night to ensure its safety. In addition, we have You have chosen a piece of high-quality fertile land, and you can expect a good harvest next year." After hearing this, Lin Xiaofeng had a look of satisfaction on his face, and his approval was obvious. He also patted Wang Yingchao's shoulder affectionately to show his approval: "Well done! Today The guards on the night shift will each be given a precious ginseng stick as a reward."

Then, Lin Xiaofeng continued to ask: "As for the progress of the preparations for the party program? What are the specific program arrangements?" His words revealed rigor and concern, showing his meticulous attention to every aspect of the entire event. Control and careful planning.

Lin Xiaofeng is well aware of the differences in local customs, so he only roughly outlines the action guide, especially carefully selecting the gripping classical drama - "The Legend of White Snake". He secretly thought to himself: "How can we miss such a magnificent love epic when accompanying a distinguished and beautiful princess to watch a grand opera event?"

At this time, Wang Yingchao suddenly straightened up, with his back as straight as a green pine, and a hot anger surged in his chest. He slapped the armrest of the seat like a tiger descending a mountain, and let out a low and angry roar: "It's ridiculous! I He actually neglected that today's performance was personally ordered by His Majesty, and only focused on ordering the theater to be cleared, but neglected to give special instructions to the theater troupe!" During this sudden outburst, Lin Xiaofeng's brows furrowed into a miniature frown upon hearing this. Ridge, but his voice remained as calm as iron: "Don't worry, even ordinary performances can be carried out as originally planned, but we haven't learned today's detailed repertoire list yet."

Wang Yingchao closed her eyes and concentrated. After a moment of silence, her words flowed slowly, like a gurgling stream: "The first performance was "Future Star" performed by a group of teenagers, which is an allegory of the endless possibilities of youth and the vitality of vitality; what followed one after another, It is a unique work "The Judgment of Time and Space: New Chen Shimei", a simple story cleverly blended with science fiction colors; the final show is "Quantum Entanglement: The New Legend of White Snake", which reshapes the classic while giving it a new twist.
