In Lu Xi's secondary school and the second stage before graduation, it has always been artificial, and the banquets of high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen must be no good banquets, no good banquets, either a waste of taxpayers' money or a disguised bribe. At this kind of banquet with no positive energy at all, the well-dressed men and prostitutes are staggered, brewing power-for-money transactions and political conspiracy without a lower limit. If he had the opportunity to attend such a banquet, he would have put strong laxatives in the main course and drink, and then put a "under repair" sign on all the toilets, leaving only one intact and sure to block the sewer pipe. In this way, whether it is his mood or the world, it will definitely be much better, right?

Now that he has graduated from the second year of secondary school, even if he is angry, he has to pinch his nose and admit that the trading of power and money and the injustice of the world are the processes that the hopeless species of human beings must go through at any stage of history, no matter what kind of glamorous and beautiful way is used to frame and cover up, but this is the truth. Before human intelligence, cultivation, realm, and even brute force have evolved into another species, this fact is an objective truth that cannot be changed.

But in any case, Lu Xi has always thought that since it can't be changed, it's a big deal to stay away, as long as you don't bother me with all this bullshit. For banquets similar to the above, where only the top people attend, as long as there is a possibility of escape, it is natural to run as far as you can. But now, he is grateful to the storage of this kind of banquet from the bottom of his heart, otherwise, if the seaweed father in front of him, who looks particularly "amiable", really invites him to his house for a banquet, then whether to go or not?

Of course you can't go! Not to mention that he must be in conflict with this family from the three views to the eight characters, as long as he thinks about the seaweed head, he is particularly looking forward to seeing the expression that he may show. Ah no, it's very uncomfortable. What's more, he also has a seaweed girl at home who seems to be full of covetousness for himself, a quiet and harmless beautiful man. If the sister's paper courtship can't be hard, will she never obey or not?

But the problem is. Such a high-ranking official and political lord of the country, who could not be higher, not only enthusiastically sent himself home in a carriage, but also completely put down his body and invited himself to a banquet with a pleasant face.

Although I don't know which local tyrant held the banquet at night, but Lu Xi? Archmage Belencaster thanks you from the bottom of my heart.

Just when Lu Xi was still thinking about it, the carriage finally arrived at the entrance of the Butterfly Mansion.

"I take my leave, then, Your Excellency. Thank you again for your kindness. Apologies for the delay as well. In addition......" Lu Xi thought about it, and casually handed the bouquet in his hand to Minister Turner: "Originally, I should have visited Ling Qianjin, but I haven't been home for a year, and my official and private affairs have been piled up, and I really can't get out." This bouquet was originally a condolence gift that I was going to bring, so I would like you to pass it on. ”

The Minister of the Interior was slightly stunned, then laughed, and naturally changed to a more intimate title: "Hehe, Lu Xiqing." Speaking of which, isn't it more appropriate that something like a bouquet should be delivered by you personally? ”

"Well...... That you may know, Your Excellency. It's just that I'm afraid that you and Ling Qianjin will misunderstand, so I have to let you pass it on. Lu Xi said: "Then, leave here." ”

He didn't say anything more. Also understood, with the IQ of the seaweed daddy. It's impossible not to understand what you mean.

Lu Xi bowed with proper movements and stepped out of the carriage. Leaning against the wall, he turned to the avenue of Chador, and only then did he feel that the other party's gaze no longer stayed on his back. He exhaled slightly, and suddenly felt a little tired, and felt a little ridiculous, he was a young man less than 20 years old, and he had a conversation with the heads of the two major political factions of the federation in one morning.

If you change to someone else, I'm afraid you've been killed by the aura of the two of you, and you can't even speak, right? Brother is so humble, not arrogant, not angry, not happy, well, I'm really handsome.

Lu Xi, who had won the victory of his own spirit, suddenly became a little more cheerful. He finally lost the promising job of "Jinyiwei" today, which may be a tragic thing for those who have a great sense of responsibility and dedication, but for a guy like Lu Xi, whose biggest goal in life is to eat and wait for death, it is a thing worth opening champagne to celebrate.

So, pop a champagne and celebrate tonight. Anyway, it's only noon, so there's still plenty of time to prepare.

When Lu Xi returned to the Butterfly Mansion, Sai Xiliu and Lim naturally hadn't come back yet; Villagers A and B are still there; The "pet" Lao Pa lay down in the kennel prepared for him by the old housekeeper in the garden, and continued to watch "Protoss". This guy hasn't finished reading it yet, and then again, no matter how wasteful this guy is, he is still a dragon after all, how can he be so indifferent and even willing to live in a dog house? The master master Ogle was also not there, and I heard that he was going to the library to find some materials.

After sending the able-bodied Grant and Boole to the market to buy ingredients, Lu Xi rolled up his sleeves and went into the kitchen to start preparing for the evening meal.

"This ...... Lord Lu Xi, the old man really can't help but talk more. What are you? The old butler, Mr. Delavo, looked at Lu Xi's movements, his expression was calm, but it was difficult to hide the surprise in his eyes.

"Cooking something once in a while is a good way to promote the relationship between family and friends, and on the other hand, it can also adjust your mood. Why, Mr. Dravo, is it possible that the nobles of Nadia are all clothed to reach out for food and open their mouths? ”

"When the old man was serving in the Roshodit family, Madame cooked a few times occasionally." The old butler smiled and said, "But in the past, there are indeed no examples of the Arcans who have served the Arcans like you. ”

"That only shows that I'm more colorful. There is a natural dick silk life all over his body, and he has no pride of aristocrats at all. ”

"No, this can only show that your pride is actually in your bones and soul, and you don't care to use the arrogance of your face to maintain your status, this is the real nobility. Although you have been outside. The service time is too long, but the old man is happy in his heart. His last job before retirement was to serve a true aristocrat. The old butler's smile was still modest and kind. But there seemed to be a hint of pride in his tone: "Then, the old man will tell the insiders to prepare the long table and utensils for the dinner, and by the way, prepare a drink for you to take a break." Your friend in Noorda has already sent this year's tea in, so ......"

"Naturally, it's the old rule." Lu Xi said with a smile.

"Understood, please wait." The old butler saluted and withdrew.

Lu Xi stirred the flour and eggs used to bake the cake in the basin, and pondered Mr. Delavo's words with some surprise: "I, a bitter and bitter angry young man with sharp teeth, can I be regarded as a real nobleman?" What kind of creature is a nobleman? ”

Two hours later. Villagers A and B returned with large bags of ingredients; After another hour, Mr. Eugel returned with a pile of books and two bottles of wine; And at four o'clock in the afternoon, the two big and one small beauty group of Seyriliu and Lim, ah no, there is one more Ellie, so now the two big and two small beauty groups also returned to the butterfly garden, and also brought very beautifully packaged candies and small snacks.

"Hey, what day is it, and bothering you to cook for us by yourself?" Sehireu stood in the doorway of the kitchen. looked at Lu Xi with wide eyes. She was genuinely surprised.

"It's not a big deal, it's just that the resignation is successful."

"Resign? Wasn't our personnel file transferred by the Central Personnel Department? ”

“…… Well, nothing, just persuaded the Ministry of War to transfer me to the reserves. ”

Sesileu let out a noncommittal "oh". But then he couldn't help but show an expression of hatred for iron and steel: "I really don't know what you think, you are obviously such an excellent person, but you have no motivation at all." If your hard work and drive are one-tenth of the talent. Maybe I'm going to be a general now. ”

"A general under twenty years old? It's possible to be promoted in the line of fire on the battlefield, but we're not at war right now. And. The so-called Ci is not in charge of the army, and wants to be a good military commander. It is necessary to have the consciousness of treating the lives of the enemy and one's own people as a number and weighing them on the scales, and it is necessary for those who have big hearts and big beliefs. I don't think I'll be able to have that kind of courage in my life. Lu Xi shrugged and smiled: "Speaking of which, how did your family move?" ”

"With the help of Lim and everyone, I moved Xingli from the dormitory back to my new house yesterday." Sai Xiliu said: "I have also bought furniture and other necessities today, as long as the furniture is delivered to the door, I can take Elle to live in." Well, if you have a qiē shun lì, before March next year, the family can also move over. ”

"Well, congratulations, you can enjoy the family in the future." Lu Xi smiled: "No matter what, family is always the most important. Seyriliu is also an elite magician of the Federation now, and he will definitely be promoted after the Chinese New Year, so it's time for them to enjoy themselves. ”

"I hope so. As long as it is not too dangerous or requires work abroad, if you do the math, we have spent two-thirds of our time abroad in the past two years, which is really terrible. ”

"I believe that Sehiru would be very good if he did civilian work in the general civil affairs department." Lu Xi thought for a while and said seriously: "But if I were the federal government, I would definitely put you in a more suitable position." For example, if you are asked to lead a puppet regiment, or if you are asked to enter the military department or the staff department of a certain legion, you must know that your combat ability is actually tested compared to your civilian affairs ability. In the entire Knowledgeable Alliance, there are not many magicians with as much practical experience as you, especially when you are so young. ”

“…… It's possible, but I don't have a choice, do I? Whether it is going to the army or other departments, work is just work. Sehireu gritted his teeth, and his voice sounded a little muffled: "What about you?" Ready to go back to your hometown after the New Year? ”

"There are a lot of things to do at home, and there is a very large, epic and even transformative business to convince the teacher and his old man to participate. Otherwise, why would I have to spend so much money to piggyback on Mr. Ogle? Lu Xi shrugged his shoulders, looked back at Sai Xiliu's somewhat sullen expression, and couldn't help but smile: "Don't worry, don't worry, although I will definitely get busy in the future, but even if it is to open up the market, I will often run to Elichar, and I will definitely not let Sai Xiliu be lonely." ”

"Who's who, who's lonely?! You, you, you, you guy is talking nonsense again?! ”

"By the way, after chatting for a long time, you just stayed at the door and didn't come to help? Although today's dinner is my chef, Sai Xiliu is not ready to show his hand? ”

"That's fine." Naturally, Sehireu took off his apron from the hook behind the door and squeezed it up: "But I'll only cook some home-cooked food that can't be served on the counter, is that okay?" ”

"It's not to entertain leaders or customers, and the beef soup made by Sai Xiliu is the best in the world! I'm going to drink it for the rest of my life. ”

"Who's going to cook for you for the rest of your life!?" (To be continued......)

PS: I almost forgot, the 100 monthly pass has to be added according to the rules, so there will be a change in a while
