Chapter 357: A Chicken
In the garden of the Governor of Bordeaux's yamen, the bonfire was burning vigorously, the simple stone stove was brushed with vegetable oil, the pot was stewed with lamb's elbow, and a few pieces of beef were roasted and oiled.
Margaret sat on a stake stool beside her with a glass of wine and smiled, Chen Jiujing held a pipe in one hand and a teacup in the other, looking helplessly at Henry Bourbon, who was holding a small shovel to fry beef, and Viscount Tyrrenne, who was beside him.
The Viscount of Tyrrenne was named Henri de la Tour de Auvergne.
Another Henry, and like Henry, a monstrous name, another lover of Queen Margot.
"I told him not to try to cook for you, they all together are not as good as your cook." Margaret laughed and shrugged her shoulders so much that the wine in the glass spilled, and she waved her hand in front of Chen Jiujing's eyes: "He's so enthusiastic, you know, I've never seen you so scared, I can guarantee that the hair on the back of your neck stands up!" ”
Chen Jiujing came out of his stunned state, no longer nostalgic for the extremely burning fire, turned his head and smiled: "Aren't you afraid, the smell of garlic overnight is coming to your face...... Hmph, you didn't think about Mu before you saw me, forget it, your injuries can't be wet, so let's gargle! ”
As he spoke, Chen Jiujing raised his hand and pointed to Viscount Tyrenne, who turned his head with Henry Bourbon, and said, "Turn your head to buddy, you are the fifth man; Margo, can you help me tell that Guise in the north, from now on, his name is Hum Sixth. ”
Since the Kingdom of Navarre is small and next to Spain, they can communicate properly in Spanish, and no one in their context objects to the nickname, because that's what it really is.
For example, Henry III, the exact name is the third Henry, isn't this the third Henry?
"Actually, when I wasn't hurt, I would take a bath every morning, you know what it means to take a bath every morning in our land, I hum the fourth child is a rare beautiful man who loves cleanliness." Bourbon Henry skillfully brushed the beef with Spanish olive oil like a hunter in the mountains, fried two garlic cloves by the way, turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "They all think I smell like a wild boar, and you don't know how wronged I am!" ”
"Yes, you take a shower every morning, but you don't take a bath after hunting, you don't rinse your mouth every day when you eat garlic, and you spread out on the bed and exude the smell of hell." It can be seen that Bourbon Henry woke up to make Marguerite feel very good, her smile never stopped, she looked a little crazy, took a big sip of the wine glass, and then finally hid her smile, put her arm on Chen Jiujing's shoulder and said: "When we were still in Paris, once he agreed with a girl to come to the room at night. ”
"It was a very beautiful woman, with a beautiful body and face, the center of the court ball, and even women would fall in love with her! But he missed the opportunity, why? Margaret opened her hand to take Chen Jiujing's pipe, and suddenly laughed with a deliberately straight face: "On the bed, he smoked and vomited that woman!" ”
"I really threw up all over the bed."
Margaret, Henry Bourbon, and Viscount Tyrrenne all burst out laughing, but Chen Jiujing unconsciously thought about their relationship as husband and wife and the joke, so much so that it was difficult to laugh from the heart.
But seeing that he didn't laugh, the three of them laughed even more happily, and Margaret said to the two: "I said that the happiness of the Nine Classics is different from ours, he is very restrained. ”
Chen Jiujing didn't say anything, which brought a little embarrassment to Queen Margot's small harem, but soon Margaret found a new topic and asked, "You just watched them wander, it doesn't look like you were surprised that the king was playing with fire, what were you thinking?" ”
"I'm thinking...... If your lovers are all twisted into a rope. Chen Jiujing shrugged his shoulders with the teacup and said, "Then the war in France is long gone." ”
This caused the three of them to laugh again, and Chen Jiujing thought helplessly, the nobles of Europa must have practiced how to laugh anytime and anywhere in the same way that they practiced how to spit and how to blow their noses since childhood, and this atmosphere made people feel that a fart could make them laugh.
In fact, Chen Jiujing is sure that if he can fart at this time, these people can laugh out loud in their hearts, livers, spleens and lungs.
But this time people's smiles gradually froze, it really cooled the atmosphere, Marguerite drank all the wine in the glass, sipped the wine on the side of her mouth and shook her head expressionlessly: "In France and even Europa now, no one can twist into a rope, no, you can't find such a person." ”
"We are not as clean as the Ming Kingdom, this war will never end, in the time when tens of thousands of people were born, hundreds of thousands of people died, France will be destroyed, and there will be nothing left."
Margaret carried the wine bottle and poured the wine, Bourbon Henry put the fried beef on the plate and placed it on the wooden table in front of Chen Jiujing, rubbed his oil-stained hands on his pants, picked up two wine glasses and handed them to his vassal, Viscount Tyrenne, and then picked up his own, and said: "I have tried all the methods to stop the war, including marrying Margot, but it has not been of any use. ”
"They want to kill us all, my people want to gain more power, everyone wants their share, Spain, Italy, Rome, Switzerland, England, Germany and the Netherlands, every country is intervening, everyone wants to destroy the peace, this is a land of no hope...... To France! ”
"To France!"
The three of them raised their wine glasses, Chen Jiujing felt that it was more like an early mourning than a celebration, he also picked up the teacup and touched it with them, and only after taking a sip did he ask Bourbon Henry, "What about you?" ”
He listened to almost everyone from Bourbon Henry, that the Catholics wanted to kill all the Huguenot rebels, that the Huguenot rebels wanted more power, and that there were so many countries that meddled in them, but Bourbon Henry did not say anything about himself.
"Me?"
Wine is wine to all, but to Bourbon Henry it is like a red drink.
His drinking posture was not graceful at all, and he poured his head into his throat, as if he was going to bite into his mouth piece by piece of meat, and drank one glass after another, and then pursed his lips and said: "Anyone can push their destiny forward, but I, I don't know what my destiny is, and I can't control it." ”
"I don't want anything, in this war? I just want to live, to live through today, and to live through tomorrow...... Survive. ”
Bourbon Henry asked himself, "It's too hard." ”
He snatched Chen Jiujing's pipe from Margaret's hand, but obviously he had never smoked, but in exchange for coughing fiercely, Chen Jiujing pointed to the pipe with a smile and said, "I sent you, you can study hard...... We can make a few dishes and eat them slowly. ”
Henry Bourbon waved his hand in reply: "I never eat vegetables, two meals a day for the nobles, three meals for the peasants, people can only eat this little thing a day, I don't know how many days I will live, so I can't eat vegetables, I don't want to suddenly one day I die, and the last meal is like a rabbit eating a belly of rotten vegetable leaves." ”
"If there is a chance to live, I want Navarre to be free of religion and thought, and every farmer has a chicken in the pot on the weekend, haha!"
When Por Henry offered to raise his glass again for the sake of him having lived another day, Chen Jiujing was sure that he had drunk too much, for he heard Henry begging him to get another bottle of the wine, which the doctor had poured on his wound.
He said that it tasted like brandy given to him by the Dutch parishioners, but it was actually soju, and brandy meant soju, distilled spirit.
This is also the method that Dutch merchants recently came up with to trade wine to the New World, and they distilled the wine and called it brandy.
Shochu was on call, but Henry Bourbon was simply able to drink, but obviously not in large quantities.
I didn't have time to speak, and my legs slipped under the stake seat as soon as I drank a glass like that.
This is a person who lives very hard and hard.
Drinking hard brought him a night hangover, but it had nothing to do with worrying about the country and the people, just because he escaped death.
