The thief of the fortress dominates the world

Chapter 251

Tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, and God is giving me face, the sky is clear, and the big sun is hanging in the sky.Although it doesn't bring much heat, it really makes people feel more at ease and warm in their hearts.

Waking up early in the morning, the whole Hou Mansion was busy.In the front yard, Yan Zhai led a group of servants to clean the courtyard and scrub the doors, windows and pillars of the house.In particular, the big plaque on the main entrance of the Hou Mansion was polished to a golden light.After it was over, I was busy hanging lanterns and pasting red paper around.

The Chinese New Year is coming, Jiang Chuan sent a message and made a new dress for each of the servants and maids of the Hou Mansion.There are cloths sent by Li Yongnian, and there are also cloth shops, tailor shops, and clothing stores in the commercial street, and Qi Xuan is in charge of this matter.

She has always been careful in doing things. After asking for everyone's size, she went to a tailor shop to make it together.

A group of servants and maids in new clothes heard that Lord Hou still gave everyone a festival fee, and they yearned for it even more, and they were even more motivated to work.

Bai Jinxiu also rushed back from Datong, but plunged into the headquarters of the Black Ice Terrace to deal with various affairs.

On the 29th of the Lunar New Year, the businessmen from Datong basically returned to Datong to celebrate the New Year. The only restaurant open in the entire commercial street is the Tiantianrenjian Restaurant.

Fortunately, the people in the valley have almost prepared all the things they need for the New Year in the past few days, so even if the market is closed, it will not have much impact.

With the officials of the Civil Affairs Department patrolling the streets, those businessmen don't have to worry about their shops being attacked by thieves.Everyone who came to Erlong Valley these days has heard that the Marquis of Wu'an has strict laws and regulations. He once killed more than 700 people because of the fight between the villagers of the two villages.

Now this Erlong Valley can basically be said to be able to keep the door closed at night without picking up lost items on the road.So these businessmen also put the door panel on with confidence, and the iron general went back to Datong contentedly as soon as he hung it up.

Everyone in the Hou Mansion was busy arranging the environment for the New Year, and only Jiang Chuan was the most free.

This is his first spring after coming to this world.Thinking that when I first came, I was still alone, helpless.Now they have become the powerful princes of Liaodong, surrounded by a large group of people, and they can't help but feel emotional, and have some yearning and a little excitement for this Spring Festival.

He got up early in the morning, and after Yatu took care of him to wash up, he went to the martial arts arena to practice swordsmanship again, his whole body was steaming hot, so he gave up.

Back in the house, Yatu handed him a hot towel to wipe off his sweat.

After Jiang Chuan took the towel and wiped his sweat, he raised his head to return the towel, only to find Yatu in front of him with his head down and tears on his face, with a sad expression on his face. After a little thought, he knew what was going on, so he said, "Are you homesick?"

Yatu didn't answer, tears fell down.

Jiang Chuan didn't know how to comfort him.She is a prisoner, and I can't put her back, so I had to say: "Don't cry. I won't say anything extra. This is your life. Ask yourself, your fate is already compared to many people who were taken away by your Ama. The Han people are much better, at least they have food and drink. Don’t spoil everyone’s mood during Chinese New Year, or you won’t stay in my Marquis Mansion.”

Jiang Chuan's original intention was to say that if she continued to behave like this, she should not be allowed to serve in the Hou's mansion, so as not to be upset.

Unexpectedly, Yatu thought that Jiang Chuan meant to kill him, and hurriedly knelt down and mourned: "Master Hou, forgive me, this servant will never dare again."

Seeing her appearance, Jiang Chuan was slightly upset, and waved her to get up without saying anything.

Qi Xuan came in just in time, saw Jiang Chuan's displeased expression, and looked at Yatu with tears on his face, she quickly understood what was going on, and said to Yatu: "Go to the kitchen to see the breakfast for Lord Hou. Is the meal ready?" Sent Ya Tu away.

"Master Hou, don't be angry with her. I'll turn around and persuade her to prevent her from making Master Hou angry again." Qi Xuan came over and comforted her softly.

"I still have some tolerance. It's just that you have to let her understand her situation. If she cries like this again, she will fall out of the Hou Mansion and find another place to settle. I don't want to see her like this again," Jiang Chuan said.

"Don't worry, Lord Hou, I will explain it clearly to her. In fact, she is also a young girl, so she can't hide things in her heart, and she didn't intend to make Lord Hou unhappy." Qi Xuan said.

Jiang Chuan nodded and changed the subject: "I asked you to send someone to find Miss Bai, where is the person?"

Qi Xuan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Master Bai is always thinking about Miss Bai, how dare I forget about this matter. I sent someone there early in the morning, and Miss Bai said that she will come over later when she has to deal with something."

Not long after, the maids brought breakfast, but it was hot spicy soup, fried dough sticks and two side dishes.This is also the standard breakfast for Jiang Chuan's hometown people in his previous life.

Especially in the cold weather, eating a bowl of hot Hu spicy soup makes me feel so comfortable all of a sudden, and I feel like this is the beginning of a good day in my life.

After breakfast, Jiang Chuan asked Qi Xuan about the festive rewards for the servants and maids.

"Master Hou, according to your instructions, in addition to a new suit for everyone, the male servants in the outer courtyard each have a red envelope of five taels of silver. The maids in the outer courtyard are given seven taels of silver. Facial powder money of two silver coins.

The sisters in the inner courtyard paid ten taels of silver each, and these expenses cost a total of 980 taels of silver. "

Qi Xuan explained the accounts in detail.

Jiang Chuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, everyone will go to the heaven and earth for the New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow night. Everyone has worked hard for half a year. Tomorrow, I will reward everyone and try Li Dazui's craftsmanship.

Qi Xuan pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Master Hou is kind-hearted, so those people below don't know what it will be like. I will tell them in a while, and let them have something to look forward to."

While the two were talking, the door curtain was lifted, and a white and delicate figure flashed in, followed by a more petite pink figure.

It was Bai Jinxiu, master and servant.

"I've met Lord Hou!" This is Bai Jinxiu, she still pays attention to etiquette in front of people
"Xiaowen has met Lord Hou, and I greet him!" This is the little girl Xiaowen, who has learned to salute after not seeing him for a few months.

Jiang Chuan smiled at Bai Jinxiu, looked at Xiaowen again, and said with a smile: "Little girl, you haven't seen you in the past few months, you're much slimmer, look at this little face, it's even smaller." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched Xiaowen's little cheek.

Xiaowen blushed, and wanted to hide but couldn't dodge, so she blushed and let Jiang Chuan ravage her face.

After letting Xiaowen go, Jiang Chuan took Bai Jinxiu's hand without hesitation in front of Qi Xuan and Xiaowen, and found that her small hands were cold, so he quickly covered them with his own big hands and said, "Let you go early!" Come over to have breakfast together, but you just can't let go of your mess. Work is endless, and I won't rush you, it's never too late for us to have a good New Year. "

Bai Jinxiu was shaken by Jiang Chuan's hand in public, she was so shy that she wanted to pull it out but she didn't, so she blushed and let him hold it and said, "You are easy to say, you are a great lord. Since the matter is in my hands, I will I have to make a decision sooner or later, I will have to do it sooner or later. Only after dealing with it will I be able to live this year with peace of mind."

Jiang Chuan laughed twice and did not refute, but turned to Qi Xuan and said, "Bring the things here for Miss Bai to try."

Bai Jinxiu didn't understand what she said, so Qi Xuan pursed her lips and smiled. Seeing Bai Jinxiu's envious eyes, she turned and went to the next room, and soon came over holding a pure white feathery fox fur cloak in her hand.
