Mythical Three Kingdoms

”Such a big red envelope, hehe, I’ll make sure to let Zhaoji come too.” Li Youu didn’t hesitate to plan for Cai Yan to go, out of respect for Cai Yong, who had passed away several years ago, he promised Cai Yan all sorts of wishes, but the issue was that Cai Yan didn’t seem to have any intention of getting married.

Although Chen Xi could be unreliable at times, when it came to serious matters, he was absolutely the kind of person who meant what he said, and he wouldn’t deceive the younger generation.

”Such a magical thing, I don’t mind if my daughter goes too.” Jia Xu said with a hint of mystery. He wanted to marry off his daughter but was at a loss as to whom she should marry. Although Jia Xu prioritized his own plans, he was still a caring father.

”I’m interested too.” Fa Zheng said, stroking his chin, ”I don’t have a daughter, but I’ll send my cousin. Zichuan, remember to prepare a few more.”

”...” Chen Xi felt his eyes were on fire, suddenly furious, ”Do you guys even realize that I can’t afford to hand out such envelopes often, yet you’re all coming? There’s only one!”

Chen Xi’s words even attacked Liu Bei, but Liu Bei just chuckled, planning to have Lady Gan bring Adou tomorrow, just as an excuse to join the fun.

”Such a good thing shouldn’t be missed.” Lub Su laughed and said, ”Although I don’t have sisters or daughters, for something this good, I recommend my niece to go too.”

”You all would die if you didn’t take advantage, wouldn’t you?” Chen Xi said irritably.

”How can you say that? Xianhe and Gong Youu couldn’t make it, but they shouldn’t miss out either. Anguo, go inform the nieces of both families later.” Liu Bei laughed heartily, not caring about Chen Xi’s words. During such a big celebration, you can’t favor one set of kids over another.

”Yes!” Wuu Anguo said with a cupped fist.

”If we’re saying that, then my cousin should also go.” Qu Qi muttered to himself while looking up at the sky. In a big family, who doesn’t have sisters or daughters? You, Chen Zichuan, are making such big promises, if you don’t let sisters and daughters take advantage, you’d have to be out of your mind.

The military generals were more reserved, but a fool doesn’t take advantage when there’s a chance. They all unreservedly stated that their daughters, sisters, sons, nieces, and such would be there on time tomorrow, preparing to take advantage of Chen Xi.

Speaking of it, someone like Zhao Yun or Zhang Fei, being lone wolves, had a bit more humanity and didn’t add trouble for Chen Xi. However, nearing the end, Gan Ning casually announced with a smirk that he had more than ten sisters...

Gan Ning’s shamelessness hit rock bottom. After he finished talking, everyone was dumbfounded, and Gan Ning calmly stated that he also had a bunch of uncles, aunts, cousins, and if possible, he’d like to bring them all.

”...” Chen Xi was at a loss for words. Although he knew Gan Ning could leave you speechless with his antics, this was too much.

”Oh, right, I remembered, Miss Wu is my distant aunt’s daughter.” Gan Ning had hit rock bottom, and no one knew what to say.

For Wu Yuan, regardless of the reason, Chen Xi definitely had to invite her tomorrow. Liu Bei certainly couldn’t neglect Wu Yuan either. But Gan Ning was blocking things here...

”How ruthless...” Wei Yan felt his jaw drop. Gan Ning’s display dazzled him. No wonder he was the Naval Chief.

[Gan Xingba is indeed something. He looks shameless but actually livens up the place a lot. Chen Xi openly mentioned there’s only one grand gift, so everyone else is just playing along with the Crown Prince. Even though they don’t know who the Crown Prince is, Zichuan surely has something up his sleeve.] Li Youu stroked his beard and sighed repeatedly.

[Since they’re just playing along with the Crown Prince, the gesture and money offered are just for fun. Even if there’s more, Zichuan wouldn’t mind. Plus, sisters could broaden their horizons.] Jia Xu glanced at Gan Ning and saw through his thoughts completely.

”You guy...” Chen Xi felt that Gan Ning was shameless, yet he said nothing and naturally agreed.

”Oh, Xingba, you rascal.” Liu Bei jokingly scolded. Among his generals, Gan Ning was the most mischievous, though Gan Ning was indeed excellent.

”I must be unlucky.” Chen Xi said grudgingly, while Gan Ning strutted victoriously with the expression of someone who had won a battle, ”To avoid losing out, I’m planning to bring my whole family!”

This caused Liu Bei’s backyard to explode. Wasn’t it evident that Chen Xi intended to keep the benefits for his own? If not handled carefully, he’d either be scolded by Fan Jian or Chen Lan, or Chen Qian. Chen Xi was bringing his whole family, and you still wanted to win!

”This is a setup!” Liu Ye wasn’t afraid of making things bigger and started shouting immediately. After all, during the New Year, you always needed some fun.

”If you think it’s a setup, don’t play!” Chen Xi choked Liu Ye half to death in a gleeful tone.

”I guess my family can draw lots last, can’t we?” Seeing everyone glare at him angrily, Chen Xi coughed a couple of times to ease the tension.

”That’s a good idea. I trust Zichuan wouldn’t rig things.” Mi Zhu, being a kind and upright gentleman, had high regard for Chen Xi’s integrity.

After a fit of laughter and noise, everyone finally left Liu Bei’s place. Most people thought Gan Ning was just joking, but when they saw him the next day, they all were stunned—Gan Ning had indeed brought all the young ladies from the Gan Family. How utterly shameless!

Chen Xi walked alongside Mi Zhu, unusually not mixing with Jia Xu, Li Youu, and Guo Jia. The display of fate today was too high-profile, and the four slackers crouched together, making things awkward.

”Zizhong, would you mind if I hitch a ride with you?” Seeing Mi Zhu preparing to get in a carriage, Chen Xi quickly approached and patted Mi Zhu on the shoulder.

”Why not?” Mi Zhu replied with a smile and immediately invited Chen Xi onto the carriage.

”What’s your sister’s intention, really?” As soon as the carriage started moving, Chen Xi got straight to the point.

”Zichuan, are you asking for ’someone else’ again?” Mi Zhu asked with a knowing smile.

”Consider it asking for myself again.” Chen Xi thought briefly and understood Mi Zhu’s meaning, immediately stating that he could make decisions on his own.

”Then it’s suitable.” Mi Zhu nodded and said.

”Don’t fool me; are you saying it’s suitable or...?” Chen Xi felt it was necessary to clarify things to avoid getting trapped.

”All suitable.” Mi Zhu laughed heartily, ”There are some minor flaws, but I feel these don’t obscure the true worth, and this applies to both parties.”

”That’s good. Saves me from doing something you wouldn’t agree to later.” Chen Xi laughed, feeling relieved. With Mi Zhu’s promise, the matter was in good hands.

”Agreed, how could I not agree?” Mi Zhu laughed, ”Zhen’er feels unsuitable not because she’s uninterested, but because she’s too keen. So it eventually depends on your skills.”

”Rest assured, rest assured, rest assured. I do things thoroughly; you need not worry. However, if my methods seem intense, don’t blame me.” Chen Xi said with a sly smile, like a fox that got the chicken it was after. (To be continued.
