The two of them were a little bored staying in the living room. Buqu muttered that he wanted to find Xi Du and tell her the good news that he could stay in the port area temporarily.
Huang Chen agreed, then carried his plate to the kitchen. There was still some time before lunch, so he might as well try his hand at cooking a few dishes.
As soon as I reached the door, I saw Edinburgh still standing there pitifully. I was a little confused, "Why are you still here?"
"Commander?" Edinburgh raised his head, smiled dryly, and waved his hand. "Nothing. Commander, do you want to send these back to the kitchen? I'll go."
After saying that, he took the things from Huang Chen's hand quite actively and walked towards the kitchen.
Huang Chen was a little surprised. He had thought that Edinburgh would be the type who liked to be lazy, but he didn't expect that he seemed to be working very hard.
It seems that I misunderstood her... Huang Chen was about to continue walking towards the kitchen when Newcastle's voice suddenly came from the side, "Has the commander finished talking to Miss Unyielding?"
Huang Chen turned his head and saw a maid with dark brown hair standing beside him, looking at him calmly with her gray-blue eyes.
"That's all..." Huang Chen touched his nose. Although he had felt that Bu Qu was arrogant when he first met him, after getting to know him, he found out that he was just a fool.
"Can I help the commander tidy up his clothes? It rained and there's a lot of mud on his clothes." The girl said carefully.
Huang Chen was stunned and looked himself up and down.
I had wiped the mud off my shoes with leaves when I approached the shrine, so it was barely clean. There didn't seem to be anything on my clothes either.
Newcastle did not explain, but just looked at Huang Chen quietly. The latter hesitated for a moment, thinking that he didn't have enough time to cook a few dishes, and finally nodded.
The girl walked slowly to Huang Chen, took out a handkerchief, and began to wipe Huang Chen's clothes.
There were some places that Huang Chen didn't see at first, until the girl wiped them with her handkerchief, he found that there seemed to be some slight and unnoticeable stains there.
Newcastle searched Huang Chen's clothes carefully. The meticulous care made Huang Chen a little uncomfortable. He watched the girl slowly squat down and finally wipe the dirt off his shoes with a handkerchief.
He finally hurriedly helped the girl up and said, "Forget it, I'll clean my shoes myself later."
Newcastle slowly stood up, put away the handkerchief, and looked at Huang Chen silently without moving his eyes away.
"What's wrong? Is there something on your face?" Huang Chen wiped his face in confusion.
"No, I just didn't expect to meet you so smoothly." Newcastle said, "Welcome back, do you want a soft hug?"
Chapter 390 Brilliant Idea
Although it was an inquiry, Newcastle had no intention of waiting for Huang Chen's answer.
As soon as he finished speaking, he opened his arms and hugged Huang Chen tightly, then let go of his hands before the latter could react.
"I'm leaving now."
The girl walked slowly to the side, like a drifting flower.
Huang Chen was silent for a moment. It was indeed as the girl said, a soft hug.
"Commander? Where are we having dinner today?"
Suddenly, a weak voice came from behind. Huang Chen turned around and saw Haifeng wearing a black apron, with her long silver hair tied into a bun, and she was poking herself carefully with her index finger.
"Where to eat today..." Huang Chen thought for a moment.
Due to the arrival of Guanghui and others, dining in the reception room seemed a bit crowded.
He looked at the little girl and asked, "Where do you eat when Shancheng and the others aren't helping?"
Haifeng whispered, "In the past, everyone ate separately. We would first deliver the food to Nagato-sama, and then we would take it back to our rooms. Sometimes we would also eat in the worship hall."
"Is that so..." Huang Chen pondered for a moment, then waved his hand, "Then let's eat in the worship hall. It's well ventilated and cool there."
There are many rooms in the shrine that are larger than the reception room, but it would be a bit troublesome to temporarily prepare one of them as a restaurant.
"I understand." Haifeng nodded and ran towards the kitchen.
Huang Chen scratched his head and was about to go to the kitchen to help serve the dishes, but then he changed his mind and went back to the worship hall to tidy up the table first.
When I arrived at the worship hall, I found that a table had been placed in the middle at some point. Amagi, Nagato and Kouki were sitting around the table, chatting.
Huang Chen walked over curiously and asked, "What are you talking about?"
"Commander?" Guanghui looked up in surprise, then shook his head with regret. "What a pity there's no gift for you, Commander."
"Gift?" Huang Chen looked at the table in confusion, and then he found that there was a set of teapots, red wine, a book and other things on the table.
"Did you bring it with the invitation?" He thought about it and immediately understood.
"I didn't expect the Commander to notice." Guanghui chuckled, covering her mouth. "How are the Commander and Unyielding getting along? I just saw that both Unyielding and Vicious seemed happy."
"It's pretty good, isn't it..." Huang Chen said with a smile, glancing at Tiancheng beside him. Tiancheng was also a key force in fueling the flames of the unyielding cause.
Tiancheng smiled and nodded, not taking credit for himself.
Nagato nodded, "Unyielding, that's actually quite cute."
Huang Chen looked around, then found a place to sit down, took the teapot and poured himself a cup, then looked at Nagato and smiled, "She's really quite cute..."
Before he finished speaking, he saw Guanghui beside him looking straight at him, and his eyes occasionally drifted across Nagato's body, which made him feel a little strange, "What's wrong? Guanghui?"
As he said this, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. He seemed to have forgotten to drink water when he was talking with Buqu just now, and he felt a little thirsty.
"Nothing." Guanghui shook his head and asked curiously, "Commander, I prefer the smaller and cuter types."
"puff--"
Huang Chen spat out the tea before he could swallow it. Tiancheng on the side hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe it for Huang Chen.
Guanghui was also shocked by Huang Chen's huge reaction.
"Ahem." Huang Chen straightened himself out a bit, but his face was still tangled and complicated. He looked at Guanghui and asked, "Why are you suddenly saying this?"
Because you just said that Buqu is very cute, and he was sitting next to Nagato, and he was deliberately vicious when he came out this time.
Many things flashed through Guanghui's mind at once, but he didn't say anything.
Originally, it was a pleasant surprise to meet the Commander when I came to invite Nagato this time, but people's thoughts are constantly changing.
Some things, once you have an idea, can never be erased.
When she saw the ring on Tiancheng's finger, some ideas suddenly sprouted in Guanghui's mind. She was already a married woman, but she still had many sisters.
When she mentioned Bu Zao before, the commander seemed curious, but didn't have any further thoughts. She was still a little puzzled. But now, seeing Huang Chen's attitude towards Bu Qu and Nagato, she understood a little.
It is not clear how many wedding ships there are in the port area now, but in the past, most of them seemed to be small and cute.
For example, among the royal wedding ships, the Unicorn, Javelin, Warspite, etc. are all smaller and cuter types.
In fact, the commander's favorites, such as Lafite, Z46, etc., are all like this.
"Nothing, just talking casually." Guanghui shook his head.
After everyone chatted for a while, they saw Newcastle and Edinburgh coming over with their dishes. Haifeng followed behind and looked at them nervously.
Tiancheng stood up and said, "I'll go get the kids to eat."
Huang Chen also stood up and went to the kitchen to help. Newcastle tried to stop him, but couldn't persuade Huang Chen.
He came to the kitchen and the dishes were almost ready. Unexpectedly, Cleveland was standing in front of the stove wearing an apron, cooking.
Huang Chen went over to take a look out of curiosity. It was a stew with a strong White Eagle flavor, and it was almost out of the pot.
The dishes were brought to the worship hall. The hall was high and seemed a bit empty. Now that everyone was there, chatting casually, it was lively.
Before he got in, he saw Mutsu and Ryujo chasing after him, with Shanfeng and Unicorn lagging far behind.
Tiancheng shouted helplessly in the distance, "First hands, wash hands first."
When I walked into the worship hall, I found that Guanghui and Nagato were rearranging the tables and chairs. They took out another table and placed it together, and then arranged rows of chairs.
Haifeng stood aside, looking a little panicked, and tried to take the thing from Nagato's hand, but the latter refused with a smile. It was a smile that came from the heart.
Evil and Buqu also came to the worship hall and sat aside. Evil seemed to be still whispering something to Buqu.
Huang Chen placed the dishes over, and Cleveland and Jiang Feng followed immediately. Newcastle and Edinburgh brought a lot of tableware, poured drinks for everyone, and then stood aside silently.
Huang Chen hurriedly pulled the two girls aside and emphasized, "We don't do that in Hong Kong."
Lunch is over, and we're clearing away the dishes. The weather is getting clearer, and the accumulated water in the square has evaporated, making the muddy ground much smoother. Maybe we can go fishing this afternoon.
Huang Chen left the kitchen, and Mu Ao and the other children went back to play. Suddenly, he heard that they were going to the mountains to catch pheasants, and they were taking Cleveland with them. Jiang Feng returned to his room to read.
Newcastle led Edinburgh around the shrine, cleaning it. Many places that seemed spotless to Huang Chen were questionable to the young girl. Haifeng also followed them, carrying a small bucket.
When passing by the reception room, I found that Nagato unexpectedly did not return to his room. He seemed to be talking to Amagi about the secretary ship and the port area.
Suddenly Huang Chen felt a little bored, as if everyone had their own things to do.
He carried a bench and sat under the eaves in front of the worship hall, watching the sunlight sparkle in the only remaining puddles in the square.
"Commander." Guanghui had quietly walked to his side without him noticing, gathered the hem of her skirt and sat down next to him. "Can I make a suggestion about the location of the port area?"
Chapter 391 Commander, what do you think of my castle?
The eaves of the worship hall are very wide and extend outward. There are many beams arranged in a crisscross pattern on it, densely stacked to form thick eaves. Layer upon layer of brackets are piled up, and the dark blue wood seems to have grown together.
There were still traces of straw on some of the beams, as if something had been hanging there, but it had all been taken down now.
Although it is still called a worship hall, there is actually no altar or plaque anymore. It is more like an empty hall.
Sitting under the eaves near the square, the small square came into view. In the distance, the fields on both sides of the shrine and the dilapidated pavilions were clearly visible in the sunlight.
Looking further away, the lush trees hid the white sky. Although the rain had stopped, the clouds remained. The unique rustling sound of leaves in the mountains and forests could be heard from time to time, accompanied by the chirping of birds and insects.
Huang Chen turned his head and looked at the girl who had just sat down. He didn't quite hear what she said, "What did you say?"
"Can I make a suggestion about the location of the port?" Guanghui asked casually.
Huang Chen was stunned for a moment, then he realized that the last time he thought about this problem was almost a month ago. Since the company in area K received a reply letter from St. Louis in area C1, it has not received any further news until now.
Based on the previous advice, the information provided by St. Louis was hardly satisfactory, so the question of the port site was put on hold for the time being.
In the end, I just considered buying an island.
"Of course, does Guanghui have any suggestions?" Huang Chen nodded and asked curiously.
Guanghui leaned back in the chair, her hands resting on her round legs wrapped in black stockings. "I wonder what the Commander thinks of our castle?"
"Castle?" Huang Chen was stunned. This was something he hadn't thought of before. But after hearing what the girl said, it seemed like something he couldn't consider.
Because Elizabeth wanted to show off, she specifically emphasized that the book she brought included a detailed introduction to her castle.
How detailed is it?
Let’s put it this way, if two armies were at war, she could chop off the heads of ten clans with just that instruction manual.
What was the intention of the person who made this book?
Huang Chen also had a detailed understanding of the castle.
First of all, the geographical location. The castle is built on a small island far away from the city. The specific location is still unclear, but since the girls chose here, it at least shows that there is no big safety problem.
In fact, it is big. First of all, the small island is big. From the known photos, we can see that the island is very large. The area is not clear yet, but it is likely that it can accommodate nearly a thousand people without being crowded.
In addition, there are many facilities, including the castle, squares, gardens, etc. There is also a small amusement park and swimming pool for children.
The castle is huge, and judging by the photos, it has everything you need, including a study, a wine cellar, and more.
If it is chosen as a port area location, there is nothing wrong compared to the previous suggestions provided by St. Louis.
There are even some advantages. After all, a huge and majestic castle is much better than those semi-finished products.
After Huang Chen carefully considered it, he nodded and asked, "Where is the location of the island?"
Guanghui's eyes lit up and he smiled. He took out a map from the small bag he was carrying and unfolded it in front of Huang Chen.
Huang Chen raised his eyebrows in surprise, "So well prepared?"
"This is also prepared by Her Majesty the Queen." Guanghui showed a somewhat helpless smile. "The Commander may not know that Her Majesty did not hold out much hope when she invited Miss Nagato and others this time."
"Not much hope?" Huang Chen seemed puzzled, and then he understood a little. With Nagato's personality, he would most likely refuse.
Thinking of this, he was stunned for a moment, and seemed to understand why Elizabeth specifically emphasized that the instruction manual must be sent as a gift.
I guess it's just to prevent Nagato from refusing, and then he won't be able to show off his big toy?
Even if you don't come, I still want to show off in advance. That's probably what the blond dwarf is thinking.
"If Miss Nagato refuses, I will give her this map again. If she wants to visit the castle again in the future, she can follow the map." Guanghui explained.
