Chapter 1040 A Chicken
In the garden of the governor’s office in Bordeaux, the bonfire was burning vigorously. The simple stone stove was brushed with vegetable oil, and lamb knuckles were stewed in the pot, and a few pieces of beef were roasted on the stone.

Margaret was sitting on a wooden stool with a glass of wine in her hand, smiling prettily. With a pipe in one hand and a teacup in the other, Chen Jiujing looked helplessly at the man who was frying beef with a small shovel by the campfire. Bourbon Henry and Viscount Turenne, who was his assistant.

The Viscount Turenne was named Henri de la Tour Dauvergne.

Another Henry, and like Henry with such a heinous name, another lover of Queen Margot.

"I just told him not to try to cook for you. All of them together can't compare to your cook." Margaret laughed and shrugged her shoulders, so that the wine in the glass spilled out. He waved his hand in front of his eyes: "He is so enthusiastic, you know, I have never seen you so scared, I can guarantee that the hair on the back of your neck is standing up!"

Chen Jiujing came out of his daze, no longer missed the burning fire, turned his head and said with a smile: "Aren't you afraid, the smell of garlic from the previous night hits your face... Humph, fourth, you didn't think about Mu before you saw me, Forget it, don't get water on your wound, at least rinse your mouth!"

As he said that, Chen Jiujing raised his finger to Viscount Turenne who turned his head with Bourbon Henry and said: "Turn your head over buddy, you are the fifth son; Margo, can you tell that Guise in the north for me, from now on From now on, he will be called Hum Lao Liu."

Since the kingdom of Navarra is small and is next to Spain, they can communicate well in Spanish, and no one objected to the nickname in their context, because that's what it was called.

For example, Henry III, the exact name is the third Henry, isn't this the third child?

"Actually, when I was not injured, I took a bath every morning. You know what it means to take a bath every morning in our land. My fourth son is a rare handsome man who loves cleanliness." Bourbon Henry like Skillfully brush the beef with Spanish olive oil like a hunter in the mountains, and fry two garlic bulbs by the way, then turned his head and raised his eyebrows and said: "They all think I smell like a wild boar, you don't even know how much I smell." injustice!"

"Yeah, you take a shower every morning, but you don't take a shower after hunting, you eat garlic every day without rinsing your mouth, and you spread the breath of hell on the bed." It can be seen that Bourbon Henry woke up and let Ma Gretel was in a good mood, her smile never stopped, she seemed a little crazy, she picked up the wine glass and took a big sip, then finally hid her smile, put her shoulders on Chen Jiujing and said: "When we were still in Paris, Once he made an appointment with a girl to come to the room at night."

"That is a very beautiful woman, with a beautiful figure and face, the center of the court ball, even women will fall in love with her! But he missed the golden opportunity, why?" Margaret held Chen Jiujing smoking a pipe, and suddenly laughed out loud with a deliberately stern face: "On the bed, he smoked that woman up!"

"I really vomited all over the bed."

Margaret, Bourbon Henry, and Viscount Turenne all laughed, but Chen Jiujing unconsciously thought about their husband and wife relationship and this joke, so that it was difficult to laugh from the bottom of his heart.

But seeing that he didn't smile, the three of them laughed even more happily. Margaret said to the two: "I said that the happy things in Jiujing are different from ours. He is very restrained."

Chen Jiujing didn't say anything, which brought a little embarrassment to Queen Margot's little harem, but soon Margaret found a new topic and asked, "You just watched them distracted, doesn't it seem like you're surprising the king?" Playing with fire, what are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking...if your lovers are all twisted together." Chen Jiujing shrugged his shoulders while holding a teacup, "Then the war in France would have ended long ago."

This remark caused the three of them to burst into laughter. Chen Jiujing thought helplessly that the nobles of Europa must have practiced how to laugh anytime and anywhere like how they practiced spitting and blowing their nose since they were young. This kind of atmosphere makes people feel relaxed. A fart can make them laugh.

In fact, Chen Jiujing was sure that if he could fart loudly right now, the three of them would laugh out loud.

But this time people's smiles gradually solidified, which really cooled the atmosphere. Margaret drank the wine in the glass, sipped the wine on her lips and shook her head expressionlessly: "In today's France Not even Europa, no one can be twisted together, no, you can't find such a person."

"We are not as clean as the Ming Dynasty. This war will never end. In the time when tens of thousands of people are born, hundreds of thousands of people die. France will be destroyed and nothing will be left."

Margaret poured wine from the bottle, Bourbon Henry put the fried beef on a plate and placed it on the wooden table in front of Chen Jiujing, rubbing his oily hands on his trousers, picked up two wine glasses and started The vassal Viscount Turenne who handed it to him picked up his own again, and said, "I have tried all methods to stop the war, including marrying Margo, but nothing worked."

"They want to kill us, my people want more power, everyone wants their share, Spain, Italy, Rome, Switzerland, England, Germany and the Netherlands, every country has a hand in it, Everyone wants to break the peace, this is a land without hope...France!"

"To France!"

The three raised their glasses, and Chen Jiujing felt that this was not so much a celebration as an early mourning, so he also held up his teacup to clink with them, and after taking a sip, he asked Bourbon Henry: "Then you Woolen cloth?"

He heard that Bourbon Henry said almost everyone, the Catholics wanted to kill the Huguenot rebels, the Huguenot rebels wanted more power, and there were so many countries intervening in it, but Bourbon Henry didn't say anything he himself.

"I?"

Wine is liquor to all but a red drink to Bourbon Henri.

There was no elegance in his drinking posture, he poured his head up and down his throat, just like he would bite into his mouth piece by piece when eating meat, he drank another glass, and then he pursed his mouth and said: "Anyone can push I walk forward with my own destiny, but I, I don't know what my destiny is, and I have no power to control it."

"I don't want anything, in this war? I just want to live, to live today, to live tomorrow...to survive."

Bourbon Henry asked himself and answered: "It's too difficult."

He snatched Chen Jiujing's pipe from Margaret, but obviously he had never smoked before, so he coughed fiercely in exchange for imitating it. Chen Jiujing pointed to the pipe with a smile and said, "I'll give it to you, you can study hard." Learn... we can cook a few dishes and eat slowly."

It was Bourbon Henry who answered him with a big wave of his hand: "I never eat vegetables. The nobles eat two meals a day, and the peasants eat three meals a day. People can only eat this a day. I don't know how many days I can live, so I can't eat vegetables, I don't want to suddenly die one day, eating rotten vegetable leaves like a rabbit for my last meal."

"I want Navarra to have freedom of religion, freedom of thought, and a chicken in the pot for every farmer's weekend, if given the chance to live, lol!"

When Paul Henry proposed to raise his glass for another day of his life, Chen Jiujing was sure that he had drunk too much, because he heard Henry begging him to get another bottle of the very fragrant wine that the doctor poured on his wound.

He said that it tasted like the brandy given to him by the Dutch Catholics, but it was actually shochu, and brandy means shochu and distilled wine.

This is also the method that Dutch merchants recently came up with to trade wine to the New World. They distilled the wine and called it brandy.

Shochu is available on call, but Bourbon Henry is simply able to drink, but the amount of alcohol is obviously not large.

After gulping down a glass like that, before he could speak, his legs gave way and he slipped under the stake.

This is a very hard-working and hard-working person.

Drinking vigorously brought him a hangover overnight, but it had nothing to do with worrying about the country and the people, it was only because of his narrow escape.
