Chapter 290 Gift(1/2)

More than fifty members of Lao Bai's family stood at the gate, listening to the villagers talking excitedly, pointing to the sky:

"Emma, ​​whose family is setting off fireworks? Oh my god, I have never seen anything so bright in my life. It doesn't seem to be that far away."

"It's just a few wealthy households with people working as officials outside. No, it doesn't seem to be them. If it were released in the town, our village wouldn't be able to see it so clearly."

Everyone looked at Bai Muyan, the most capable person in the village.

Bai Muyan judged based on the direction and said hesitantly: "Erdaohe...Xu family?"

After Bai Muyan finished speaking, he was a little unsure. Fireworks are very expensive.

Bai Muyan didn't agree whether Tian Xin would be willing to spend a lot of money in this area, because he had to admit that Xu Tianxin had some views on consumption that he couldn't understand.

For example, the last time we went out to Xishan Town together, Tian Xin'er didn't want to put away all the exquisite porcelain in the Yu family's warehouse, and wandered around a teapot used by a master chef.

You must buy an old copper kettle used by others to hold wine.

In the past, when iron smelting was not good, iron was much more expensive than copper, let alone silver.

However, Tian Xin'er insisted on using her money to buy an old copper kettle. She was so rare that she wanted to hide it and plan to give it to her three uncles as a New Year gift.

In his opinion, this is not understandable because it is not cost-effective.

But he didn't dare to persuade her too much, lest Tian Xin'er would be unhappy and feel that he was being picky.

When you express your love in the future, use this to reject him.

To use the local dialect of the country people, you can't urinate in the same pot as him.

Tian Xin'er can't be so rude, but what if I say that I can't spend the same amount of money with you, and there will be quarrels in the future.

So Bai Muyan was really not sure whether Xu Tianxin would spend a lot of money on fireworks.

But since it was guessed that the Xu family set off the fireworks, Bai Muyan raised his head and looked at the sky in the distance. He suddenly felt that the fireworks were really beautiful. They seemed to be more beautiful than those set off by members of the family in previous years.

While watching the fireworks, Bai Muyan touched the box in his arms, wondering if Tian Xin'er would like the New Year's gift he gave her.



In the meantime, it’s the start of a new year, Frontier.

Although there are no fireworks here, the scene is very exciting.

All the generals wearing armor climbed onto the tower and were beating war drums in all directions.

At this moment, as the war drums sounded in unison, the soldiers and generals of the former Zhenbei Army finally realized clearly that the commander-in-chief had been replaced. There were no veterans over sixty under the commander-in-chief. They were all young people of the new generation.

general.

They finally no longer have to worry about military pay being cut off here, and they don't have to worry about whether the general will be able to get military rations if he is not taken seriously by the court.

Moreover, their current treatment is much better than before, and everyone's names have been re-registered.

As soon as the New Year was over, the new general sent a special team to deliver letters home to them on horseback.

But what followed was no longer the time to hang around.

Raising an army for a thousand days and using it for a while. Here, in the new year, we will train with all our lives. In the future, we must dare to fight for our lives with our bodies and stain the battlefield with blood.

Today, Huo Yunqian made his official appearance wearing a red Kaijia.

The armor's light opens towards the golden scales of the sun.

When the war came one day with dark clouds over the city, everyone could see where the top general Huo Yunqian was.

At this moment, the soldiers were very excited.

Their legendary general finally rushed to the border to see them, and shouted to them:

"I don't have New Year's greetings here. I only have one sentence: I, Huo Yunqian, will take care of your affairs. Where is my general's Zhenbei Army?"

Huo Yunqian wanted to develop a gold mine privately for this reason.

After following him, his surname was Huo.

Even the affairs of the soldiers must be taken care of to the end.

The towers were full of black soldiers, and only the red tassels on their weapons represented the New Year.

The red tassel shook, and the soldiers shouted excitedly to the war drums: "Kill, kill, kill!"

At this moment, the official surnamed Fang, who was sent by the imperial court to supervise Huo Yunqian, seemed to feel the power of the New Town North Army that wanted to sweep everything away.

For the first time, he realized that this was no longer the original Zhenbei Army, but the core of the Huo Family Army. And the original soldiers here would most likely be trained to become the Huo Family Army.

Can the emperor not feel uncomfortable? They all have the surname Huo.

What's more, Huo Yunqian's tribute gifts were also excessive. This year, instead of transporting precious ginseng and velvet antlers to the capital, here in the north of the town, they transported 20,000 catties of fish back to the capital. It is unheard of to be so shabby.

That's why he specially called Jialai to reprimand him.

Unexpectedly, that old guy Jialai actually took out two deficit books from his arms and placed them in front of him. He flipped them through and said:

"Captain Fang, just in time to take advantage of the caravans coming from all directions, came to the Northland. He wanted to sell ginseng, deer antlers and other items to fill the holes in the account books and provide rations for the soldiers.

If you don't believe it, please look at the account books.

Take a look at what was eaten during the Chinese New Year in the house of the last general. It cost seven thousand taels of silver just to celebrate the new year. Our general, in order to rush to the frontier, ate the same food as the soldiers. Fortunately, it was even seen on the table of ordinary soldiers.

fish meat.

I believed that the emperor would be more considerate of the frontier soldiers than the general.

Of course, if Mr. Fang can come up with a clever idea to make up for these shortcomings, I will definitely be waiting for you and listen with all my heart."

Governor Fang was furious. This was because he had confirmed that the previous General Zhenbei had returned to the west. The Emperor couldn't find anyone if he wanted to ask questions. He even thought of giving him dignity for guarding the frontier for many years. And then this little deficit led to Jia Lai's account.

You can shake it out as hard as you can without feeling embarrassed.

Those who are rich in money are full of yellow and white things, and the generals of a generation are as low as merchants.

And the most irritating thing was that he could clearly hear that old guy from Jialai saying after leaving the camp that he had been making noises all day and his back hurt even when he stood talking.

Governor Fang felt secretly resentful when he thought of this. Just look at it, he will kill that old guy sooner or later.

However, at this time, Governor Fang looked at Huo Yunqian standing on the tower, and what he was thinking about was not the tribute, but the letter from the girl in the palace, which mentioned it again, asking his daughter to have more contact with Huo Yunqian, and wanted the Chengen Hou Mansion to take a step forward

Risky chess.

This is no longer something he can refuse. His sister is not only a sister, but also a favored imperial concubine.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Governor Fang is very conflicted in his heart.

Huo Yunqian controls thousands of troops. If he can succeed, this will indeed be the greatest help to the Fang family and his sister.

Following the influence of the prince and other princes, the Chengenhou Mansion will also be unshakable and will become a force that all parties can strive for. There is no doubt about this. Although everyone seems to be putting small shoes on the Huo family, it is precisely because of the Huo family

If you never express your opinion, you will be intolerable.

But the premise is that no matter how good the plan is, it will be useless only if his beautiful daughter can control Huo Yunqian.

My sister may think that the emperor currently favors her, and women have a great influence on men. She also thinks that the Huo family, in turn, will also value her role as a doting concubine.

But he is a man and knows very well that Huo Yunqian has power at such a young age. Can a woman control it? Don't forget, the Huo family has never married the royal family, and even when they remonstrated with the political power, they never ceded territory, did not marry, or did not marry.

indemnity.

My sister, on the other hand, said that the Huo family was like frying in a hot pan. If there was a beloved concubine who could help eliminate the emperor's grudge against the Huo family, and the Marquis of Cheng'en Palace did not have military power, even the emperor would consider it.

His legitimate daughter is the best candidate.

It seems that my sister has already gotten the word out from the emperor. Although she is suspicious of the Huo family, the Huo family has a deep foundation in the hearts of the people, and they still want to win over them if they don't want to mess up the imperial court.

Governor Fang looked at Huo Yunqian, who was walking like a dragon and a tiger, and thought about it ambivalently.

To be honest, he didn't want Huo Yunqian to be his son-in-law.

He has a cold face, and looks like he is polite to others, which is rare among military generals. In fact, this kind of person is the most arrogant in his heart. He knows the son raised by a century-old family very well, and he is more arrogant than anyone else in his heart. He is probably going to be his son-in-law.

He wouldn't even call himself a son-in-law.

Moreover, once he becomes Huo Yunqian's father-in-law, he will become an official who will be transferred within a few months of taking office.

However, if his daughter was not allowed to have more contact with Huo Yunqian, Governor Fang thought of the letter from home and was worried that his sister would do something wrong. If the emperor directly decreed the marriage, it was not something he could stop, and it seemed to be the worst move.

Let's wait for this palace banquet and test Mrs. Huo's attitude before watching.

Huo Yunqian, including Governor Fang at this time, didn't know yet that at that time, Huo Yunqian's marriage at the palace banquet in Beijing had become a stone that was thrown at by the concubines and even the noble concubine.

His grandmother fell ill on her bed after leaving the palace banquet.

In the past, people from all walks of life interfered with marriage after marriage, which delayed Huo Yunqian's marriage until now.

Today has been reduced to a topic of overt and covert fighting among the concubines. The emperor seems not to have heard it, but seems to be secretly approving it.

The Huo family has been around for hundreds of years. They have achieved great success through military exploits and have shed blood on the battlefield for generations. How can they humiliate the Huo family like this?

Huo Yunqian's biological brother looked at the lame leg, and his heart felt even colder.

What the royal family wanted was to be loyal to the emperor as taught by the Huo family's ancestors. They did not want civil war, did not want their own people to fight their own people, and did not want to allow outsiders to take advantage of the opportunity and make the people displaced.

Huo Yunqian's biological brother wrote a letter and gave it to the secret guard.

There is no word of concern for my younger brother until the end of this secret letter. Hoshino, the eldest brother is conveying it on behalf of his grandmother. Is there a woman he likes in his heart?
