...

The next morning, Chen Xu got up and finished washing up. He had just started to have breakfast when he heard the guards coming to report that Xiang Liang and others who had a conflict in the theater yesterday came to pay their respects.

Chen Xu slowly ate two bowls of rice lotus seed soup, two more spring rolls, washed his hands and rinsed his mouth before instructing him: "Call them in!"

"Yes!" The guard left. After a few minutes, he brought two burly and tall middle-aged men and Xiang Yu, carrying a package in his hand. After entering the door, both sides bowed to the salute and greeted each other. After a few greetings, the host and the guest and the host sat down. The maid of the hotel quickly brought the tea and then retreated.

"I am Xiang Liang, this is my third brother Xiang Bo. This young master Xu has recognized it. He is Liang's nephew Xiang Ji, whose name is Yu. Last night, we didn't know Mr. Xu's face, so we ran into noble people. Today, we came to apologize. Ji'er was young and angry and ignorant. Please don't blame Mr. Xu!"

Although Xiang Liang's attitude seemed sincere, his words were a little arrogant and stiff.

"Haha, Xiang Gongyan is so serious. He is also the first time he came to Wuzhong. Yesterday's incident was an accident and not worth mentioning. Mr. Xiang was young and energetic. He heard that he was very famous in Wuzhong. He actually wanted to meet and have a visit. The so-called "no fight" will not meet each other. We have met each other. Isn't it considered fate!" Chen Xu said with a faint smile.

"Mr. Xu said this, and I felt relieved. Later, I would go to the county magistrate's mansion to apologize, so I was not convenient to disturb Mr. Xu's trip to Wuzhong's Yaxing. In the evening, Xiang was the host of the hotel and invited gentlemen and celebrities to accompany him, and drank and talked to relieve his past grudges. He also asked Mr. Xu not to refuse. These gifts are considered apology, so please accept them!" Xiang Liang stood up and gently pushed the package on the table to Chen Xu.

"Mr. Xiang is so polite. If you invite each other with such kindness, Xu is more respectful than to obey. You must attend the banquet on time in the evening!" Chen Xu stood up with a smile. After the two sides bowed each other again, Xiang Liang and others retreated.

This so-called home-to-door apology was less than three minutes in total.

During this period, only Chen Xu and Xiang Liang said four words.

Xiang Bo and Xiang Yu did not speak, and there was no unnecessary expression on their faces.

It turns out that he is a strong person. Kuaiji County is really a headache, and Jiang Heng is probably the one who has the most headache.

If Wuzhong is managed well, it is completely impossible to suppress these local snakes.

Xiang's family is deeply rooted here and has a mixed relationship with its forces. It is definitely unlikely to have a strategy like fooling Liu Bang and others.

But if Xiang's family does not leave, Kuaiji County will always be like a bomb, and unexpected situations may occur at any time.

Watching Xiang Liang and the other two walk out of the courtyard, Chen Xu opened the parcel on the desk, which contained three tickets from the Huaxia Money House worth ten thousand yuan, as well as several exquisite jade pendants and some gold. All of them were worth a lot of money, not less than 50,000 yuan.

From the surface, this apology is not sincere.

Fifty thousand yuan is definitely a big sum of money in this era.

But this also reflects Xiang's demeanor and his family property that cannot be ignored.

Although the State of Chu is gone and Xiang Yan has been dead for eight or nine years, the Xiang family is still a very large family and force in Chu. At least it is not short of money. This kind of family is the most difficult to control.

It's time to think of a way to make Xiang's messy...

Chen Xujing sat on the chair and pinched her chin and thought about it repeatedly.

"Son-in-law, how to arrange it today?" Jiang Chuxing brought Xiao He, Liu Bang, Cao Shen and Zhou Bo to ask about Chen Xu's arrangements.

Chen Xu pointed to the package on the table and said to Zhou Bo, "These are gifts from Xiang just now. You can keep them first. Since you have finally come to Kuaiji, you must go and visit the scenery of Wuhu Lake. I heard that the lake is rich in a kind of hairy crab, which is more plump than the lake crabs in Weishan Lake. Let's go and taste them today!"

"Haha, it's so good. The dry pot spicy crab made by Mr. Xu is unforgettable. You must have a good meal today!" Xiao He and others' eyes lit up in an instant, and they surrounded Chen Xu and went out.

Zhou Bo looked at the large redemption tickets and golden pendants in the package and made several big moves, and quickly tied the package to his waist and followed without saying a word.

Wuzhong is surrounded by intertwined rivers and lakes.

There are nearly 300 rivers flowing in and out of Taihu Lake. In ancient times, Taihu Lake was called Zhenze, and Zhen represented thunder in the Bagua. Therefore, it is also said that Taihu Lake was a large zodiac caused by the arrival of heavenly thunder in the ancient times. This legend is not groundless, because later generations have speculated that Taihu Lake was a meteorite crater smashed by huge meteorites. The meteorites landed 50 million years ago because a large number of meteorites were found in the Yangtze River Delta region.

Since the ancient Chinese called Taihu Lake Zhenze, it means that ancient people knew that this big lake was split by huge thunder from the sky, and the possibility of research was very small. It can only be based on the word of mouth of ancestors. According to time, China should have had civilization 50 million years ago, and the time when the great god Fuxi created the Bagua was at least before this time, otherwise the name Zhenze would not be left behind. Therefore, some people speculated that Fuxi belonged to the previous generation of civilization race that had been annihilated on the earth.

In contrast, the dinosaur extinction was the time of 65 million years ago. The impact of the asteroid on Earth caused more than 80% of the species on Earth to be extinct. The violent collision of asteroids led to a large number of volcanic eruptions on the earth and the surge in sea water flooded a large amount of land, and even caused changes in the earth's orbit and inclination. The land drifted and split, the sky tilted northwest and the earth sank southeast, which was a huge difference from the geographical environment recorded in the strange books of Shanhaijing.

Zhenze is now renamed Wuhu. The water area is thousands of square kilometers. It looks similar to the sea. The lakeshore is surrounded by large rice fields and mulberry fields formed by the vacancies of the Li dynasties. Therefore, the people along the Taihu Lake rely on the mountains and water to eat water. Relying on the rivers and lakes of all sizes in the Taihu Lake Basin, it forms a unique environment and characteristics of Jiangnan water towns.

Since he had met Xiang Yu in advance, and summed up various news, Chen Xu also roughly understood the power of Xiang in Wuzhong and the character attributes of Xiang Yu, the little overlord. Therefore, Chen Xu did not plan to continue to inquire secretly. He decided to take a good tour of the scenery of Taihu Lake and taste the special aquatic products of Taihu Lake. He then went to the Wuhu Hotel to have a banquet in the evening to see how Xiang's muscles were revealed.

There has been no good banquet since ancient times. Last night, both sides drew their swords to each other. After hearing Xiang Liang's apology, I guess this banquet would have a little bit of awesomeness. A family that doesn't even take him seriously, naturally wouldn't take him, a young man who is not famous at all, and might use this to humiliate him.

However, in Chen Xu's opinion, the Xiang family was a bit arrogant and too domineering, but at the same time, it lamented that the Qin Empire's control over counties was indeed too weak, and local officials could not suppress these nobles of the first six countries at all, resulting in a situation that was a bit out of control.

This is true for the county towns, and even more so for the towns below, almost all of them are under the control of local gentry and town officials.

However, these are not the issues that Chen Xu needs to consider at the moment.

Even though these nobles of the six countries are arrogant and domineering, the First Emperor is still surfing around and is constantly showing his developed chest muscles to the nobles of the six countries. Wherever the emperor passes, he is surrounded by dragons and tigers. Other birds, beasts, insects and snakes can only hide in their nests and tremble. Occasionally, one or two of them will be pinched into powder in an instant.

Taihu Lake is very big, with vast blue waves and vast misty waves. Chen Xu and others found three large boats by the lake, invited local fishermen to row and tour, and then bought several large baskets of Taihu hairy crabs from the fishermen, each of which was bigger than fists. The furry on the claws seemed to wear a pair of bearskin elbow guards, which looked very majestic and domineering, and also had a three-point cute look.

At the hottest time of noon, I rested at a farmhouse near the lake shore, borrowed pots and pans, and made several flavors of hairy crabs with the green onions, ginger, garlic, mustard and oil and salt sauce. They were steamed, salt-baked, spicy, and boiled. Anyway, several large pots of hairy crabs were placed under a big tree in the farmhouse yard. More than 20 guards accompanied me had a beautiful meal. Of course, I invited the owner of the farmhouse to have a meal with me.

“It’s so cool~”

Chen Xu drank the unique mulberry leaf tea from the farmer. After resting for half an hour, a group of people set off for Yangcheng Lake to play. On the way, they also bought hundreds of kilograms of chicken head rice, water chestnuts, white shrimps and dried silverfish dried by local fishermen.

Dried silverfish is a local specialty in Wuzhong. The largest one is only more than ten centimeters, but it is snow-white and almost transparent, and its body is slender and as slender as a wide noodles. Although this product looks good, it is a fierce predatory fish. It is a migratory variety and can live in seawater and fresh water. It likes to eat small fish, shrimp and plankton in the water. The meat is firm and chewy, especially after drying and stir-frying. It is a very delicious snack and side dish with wine, so it is quite popular among the locals.

Chen Xu had never eaten it before, but after tasting it twice in Wuzhong, I liked it very much. Moreover, the fish yield was very large. Local fishermen fished it with fine bamboo nets and could get several kilograms at a time. It can be sold and dried and then dried. Therefore, Chen Xu bought it all the way. When the sun was about to set and return to Wuhu Garden, the guards and horses accompanied were bundled with large and small buns of linen cloth, most of which were dried silverfish. All of these were brought back. This winter, you can eat it well in Xianyang for the whole winter.

In this era without melon seeds and peanuts, this kind of thing is the best snack for chatting and tastes much better than eating biscuits and candies.

I was tired of riding a horse and boat trip when I returned to the hotel. Chen Xu felt like he was about to part with me, but he was so painful and happy. This kind of pleasure of playing was something he had never experienced before. It was all the primitive natural scenery, the lakes and rivers without any pollution, and there were also all kinds of fruits and aquatic products that I could not finish, which was indeed a great travel experience.
