Because they had settled the matter of joining the family, and Zhao Hongyu also offered a price that exceeded their expectations, everyone was in a very good mood.
The Japanese maids softly taught Li Xiang and the others how to use this kind of mandarin duck pot, and at the same time, they prepared the dipping sauce according to their own tastes.
???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? In this season when the snow is falling outside, sitting here and eating hot mandarin duck pot is really one of the great enjoyments of life.
After Li Xiang and the others ate for a while, they immediately fell in love with this way of eating.
Because the status has been determined now, the relationship between the two parties has become much closer now.
And Li Xiang quickly adjusted his position, knowing that he was now a subordinate of the young crown prince.
After everyone drank some wine, Li Xiang started to get close.
When Mrs. Wang went to see Li Xiang, she also talked about the American crown prince.
Therefore, Li Xiang and the others all knew that the American crown prince came from a place called the Song Empire. And according to Mrs. Wang, this crown prince claims to be the inheritor of the Chinese Song Dynasty hundreds of years ago.
Therefore, Li Xiang is very curious about this issue.
At the same time, Li Xiang also felt that it would be better for him to find out more about this matter. After all, although he is a pirate, in his heart, he is unwilling to give up his identity as a Chinese ethnic group.
Although everyone doesn¡¯t say it with their mouths, they value this in their hearts.
The reason why he was moved in the first place and came to seek refuge now was mainly because of what Master Wang said. In other words, this American crown prince is a descendant of the royal family of the Song Dynasty, and can be regarded as a descendant of Yan and Huang. This is what attracted Li Xiang.
If this were not the case, it would have been impossible for Li Xiang to come to see Zhao Hongyu.
Although he is desperate now, he is still a member of the Heavenly Kingdom.
It is impossible for him to betray his ancestors. to seek refuge with foreigners.
What needs to be explained here is that ancient people attached great importance to this point, and their thinking was stronger than that of the Chinese people in another time and space who had experienced modern civilization.
Because in that time, space and era, many Chinese people wanted to abandon their ancestors and culture, and it was very disgusting to lick other people's eggs.
"Your Highness, I have a question here that I don't know whether to ask." Now that his status has been determined, Li Xiang immediately entered the role and began to regard himself as a subordinate.
Regarding Li Xiang¡¯s change of tone. Zhao Hongyu didn't feel anything.
"Just ask." Zhao Hongyu said with a smile.
Li Xiang raised her wine glass and gestured respectfully towards Zhao Hongyu.
"I heard that His Highness is a descendant of the Song Dynasty. I wonder if this is true?"
When Li Xiang asked this question, Yang Biao and some of his entourage beside him put down their wine glasses and chopsticks, and looked at Zhao Hongyu quietly, waiting for his answer.
Because of the question Li Xiang asked, they themselves were actually very curious. And this answer is also very important to them.
If the answer is not what they want from the bottom of their hearts. Although there won't be any troubles, it will still make them a little disappointed in the end, and they will feel uncomfortable and alienated.
Once there is a gap, it will ferment over time. Who knows what the impact will be on the future.
Although they can¡¯t make any big waves, they can still cause some trouble.
Zhao Hongyu understood very well the thoughts and ideas in Li Xiang¡¯s and others¡¯ minds. They must have different minds if they are not from my race.
So, he picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp before putting the glass down. His expression became serious and serious.
"That's right! Although our Song Empire is based in the Americas, I have always been of Yanhuang ethnicity, and there is no way to change this." Zhao Hongyu's answer made Li Xiang and the others heave a sigh of relief, and they suddenly felt much closer to the Song Empire.
This change in feeling is so subtle and imperceptible that even people like Li Xiang themselves don¡¯t feel it.
I have to say that this ethnic feeling really cannot be described in words.
Zhao Hongyu saw that Li Xiang and the others were gossiping about this matter, so in the following time, while eating and drinking, Zhao Hongyu used the excuses that he had already prepared with Zhang Tie and Wang Shan to deceive them.
Among them, Zhao Hongyu certainly needs to put on a performance.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ??Hongyu's eyes became wandering, as if he was remembering something.
"When the Song Dynasty faced the aggressive intimidation of the Mongols, I had no strength to resist. So my ancestor was taken to the Americas by his trusted followers and some people who voluntarily followed. In fact, those people of my ancestor didn't know it at all at that time. They got somewhere and all they knew was where they didn't have to worry about the Mongols anymore."
Li Xiang and the others were immediately attracted to historical gossip like this.
Although they are all ancient people, their gossip stories are no different from those of modern people. After all, there is a lack of entertainment in this era. Basically, once it gets dark, they have nothing to do but sleep or something.
Therefore, the appeal of secret gossip about a dynasty hundreds of years ago is very amazing.
Even Hattori Chizuru, who was kneeling behind Zhao Hongyu, pricked up her ears.
Because it was the first time she knew about this, and what she didn¡¯t expect was that her lord actually still had the noble Yanhuang blood in him, and was a remnant of the Song Dynasty royal family that the Japanese admired very much hundreds of years ago.
You must know that in the Song Dynasty, the Japanese worshiped him very much.
Especially when it comes to poetry, poetry, etc., they are even more fanatical than the star-chasers of another time and space.
In the Song Dynasty, if any good poems were spread to the Japanese country, everyone from the royal family, princes, ministers, to some literati, and even some common people who were not familiar with poetry would recite it with gusto, and hold some kind of conference. Reviews and praise.
And the Japanese people at that time were proud to wear Song Dynasty clothes. The more they dressed like Song Dynasty people, the more noble they were.
Even when the Japanese heard that the Song Dynasty was destroyed, the whole country cried bitterly.
Even in the Ming Dynasty, Japanese people still had some respect for Ming people, and most Japanese girls took it as an honor to marry Ming people.
Hattori Chizuru also has this mentality, and even Tokugawa Kayo has the same mentality.
For the Japanese, the Yanhuang bloodline is something they must look up to.
This is like the Yanhuang ethnic group who are tall, rich and handsome, and their halo is very glamorous, while the Japanese are short and poor, so they can only look up to the tall, rich and handsome people, and even offer chrysanthemums to get close to the tall, rich and handsome people
In a word, it is good to be friends with Gao Fushuai, and the Japanese can despise everything for this.
It¡¯s just that Gao Fushuai has always been dismissive of Sis, which makes the Japanese a little disappointed.
At the same time, because of their own interests, the senior Japanese officials also controlled public opinion among the people.
This prevented the low-level Japanese from running to the Ming Dynasty in large numbers.
But even so, there were many beautiful-looking Japanese women in the homes of some powerful people in the Ming Dynasty. These Japanese women are either maids or concubines. After all, they are gentle and considerate, which is very powerful at this point.
¡°Unexpectedly, my lord is actually a descendant of the royal family of the Song Dynasty. No wonder he has that mysterious aura about him.
There were countless little stars twinkling in Hattori Chizuru¡¯s eyes, which showed how lethal what Zhao Hongyu said was to him.
As Zhao Hongyu told Li Xiang and the others about the stories of the ¡®survivors of the Song Dynasty¡¯ in America, Li Xiang and the others gradually became fascinated.
Their expressions are constantly changing, either happy or sad.
When Zhao Hongyu talked about fighting with the local indigenous people in America for a place to rest and recuperate, Li Xiang and the others gritted their teeth and had veins on their foreheads. They wished they could fight with the indigenous people right then and there.
In short, Zhao Hongyu has now slowly grasped the emotions of everyone at the banquet.
When night fell, the Japanese maids lit oil lamps in the hall and corridors of the mansion.
The heavy snowflakes outside are still floating in the sky, and a thick layer of snow has already accumulated on the ground.
At this time, Zhao Hongyu, Li Xiang and the others were already full.
Erguotou¡¯s alcohol level is very high, and Yang Biao and others are basically drunk.
Only Li Xiang drinks a lot, and he drinks a lot, so he doesn't show any ugly appearance.
But even so, Li Xiang's face was flushed.
Zhao Hongyu had people pull down the table and utensils, and then had hot tea brought.
At the same time, Yang Biao and others who were already drunk were helped by him to have a good rest.
Zhao Hongyu waved and asked Li Xiang to sit closer to him, because he had some serious words to confess to Li Xiang.
"Your Highness enjoyed the meal today, and the wine was really delicious. Your Majesty"I haven¡¯t had such a good drink in many years. Thank you for your hospitality, Your Highness. "
The maids carried Li Xiang¡¯s table and hot tea to Zhao Hongyu¡¯s lower right hand and placed them there.
Then, Li Xiang came over, sat down cross-legged, and then expressed her gratitude to Zhao Hongyu.
Because this mansion was originally the residence of the Lord of Nagasaki Castle, although it has now become Zhao Hongyu's residence temporarily, nothing has been changed.
Therefore, Zhao Hongyu and Li Xiang could only sit cross-legged like Japanese people.
"This is nothing. If you want to eat it in the future, I will order someone to send you a set of utensils. It will be really refreshing to eat this thing in the winter."
Zhao Hongyu also smiled and said to Li Xiang.
"Your Highness doesn't know how to keep his subordinates, but do you have anything to explain?"
Although Li Xiang was not drunk and was a little dizzy, he was not drunk.
His nephews were all carried down, but he was left behind, so His Highness must have something to talk to him about.
So, after chatting with Zhao Hongyu, Li Xiang went straight to the topic. (To be continued)
