The Red Mansions Across the Four Seas

Chapter 609 Who in the world does not know you

The arrival of the army made the Chinese New Year atmosphere in Wolong Town extraordinarily lively.

In addition to the atmosphere of the Chinese New Year reunion, it is also because this year can finally be safe, so there is no need to worry about the Chinese New Year.

Since this place is next to the Mogu Grassland, when the Mogu people went south in the past, they almost always passed through here, so this place is often the hardest hit area for the Mogu people to plunder.

Only because this place has been an important commercial hub from Han to the Mogu Grassland since ancient times, the Mogu people did not kill all the residents here.

The Mogu people don't know the Chinese Spring Festival, but they are familiar with the Chinese Spring Festival customs.Every Spring Festival is a time when money and materials are concentrated, so they often come here to plunder.Especially the nearest Nailin tribe came the most.

It is precisely because of this that the people of Wolong Town are most frightened when it comes to festivals.

Now that Jia Min defeated the Mogu people, the people of Wolong Town were greatly relieved.

The arrival of [-] troops is also a huge business opportunity for Wolong Town.In a town with a population of only two thousand people, so many people came all at once, and these people became a huge consumer group.

Just from the purchase of the army, many ordinary people made a small fortune.

The victor's festival is naturally happy.

The armies of all parties are immersed in the joy of the New Year.

In recognition of the contribution of the army, Jia Min gave each soldier five taels of silver.

A lot of money was seized from the Mogu people this time, and the soldiers should be rewarded, even Chang'an's Liberation Army has a share.

Each of the hired peasants also received a tael of New Year's money.

The remains of the sacrificed soldiers brought back earlier have been buried, and they are buried in peace.

Due to the large number of people, there were not so many coffins here for a while, so I had to buy some white cloths everywhere and wrap them up for burial. Joli made custom-made coffins here. Coffin them and send them home.

Not long after Jia Min finished writing the poem, he took some people to the cemetery to pay homage to these soldiers.

Serve them wine, meat and dishes, and burn paper money, so that they can celebrate the New Year.

Although Jia Min felt uncomfortable, when he came back, he had no choice but to pretend to be happy. After all, there are still so many living people. If he looks sad during the Chinese New Year, it will also affect everyone's mood.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, I began to eat the dinner of the New Year's Eve.

Instead of ordinary soldiers, the officers took turns standing guard outside, allowing the soldiers to celebrate the New Year with ease.

Those who can drink, start fighting.Those who can't drink, some draw cards together, roll dice, and some play poker.

Poker was of course Jia Min's invention. It became popular among volunteers when he was in Beihai.The gameplay was also taught by Jia Min.

Poker is printed in Daiyu's "Beihai Weekly".This is a partnership between Daiyu, Qingwen and Tamara.

When Jia Min handed over the poker plan to them, he wanted to talk to them about the issue of intellectual property rights, meaning that he used intellectual property rights to buy a share in the business, but the three of them unanimously opposed it.

Daiyu also took the works of sages in history as examples to refute Jia Min's theory of intellectual property rights.

Jia Min couldn't talk to them, so he had no choice but to admit that he was unlucky and gave away the intellectual property rights of poker for free.

The other soldiers also had work to do.

Baochai and the girls prepared a lot of lantern riddles and games, as well as some small items as prizes, although they were not worth much, but as a lottery, they were also very interesting, and attracted many soldiers to join in the fun.

Of course, there are also many people who are tired and fall asleep with their heads covered.

At midnight, the New Year's Eve dinner was eaten, which set off another climax.

Jia Min took all the officers and wine and walked from yurt to toast the soldiers.

After walking back and forth for an hour, I hadn't finished paying respects, so I finally had to give up.

The Wendura people did not have the habit of celebrating the Spring Festival, but they caught up with this Chinese festival outside, so they went to the village to do as the Romans do, and celebrate the New Year together.

No matter what kind of festival it is, anyway, it’s all about eating and drinking, and it’s enough to be lively.

Because there are too many people and most of them are men, it is impossible to make so many dumplings, so the dumplings are omitted.

However, the girls and maids still packed some by themselves and sent them to some main officers.

Jia Min and the main officers of the Beihai Volunteer Army gathered at Baochai again and started eating dumplings.

While eating dumplings in the house, firecrackers and fireworks started to be set off outside.

On the other side of the barracks, twelve shells were allocated, and twelve artillery shells were fired, which became a big salute.

After eating dumplings, everyone gathered together to watch the new year.

Put peanuts, melon seeds, hazelnuts, almonds, jujubes, frozen pears, etc., chatting while drinking tea.

Jia Min, Jia Lian, the girls, the Jia family, Shi Liu, Wei Ruolan, Chen Yeqing, the Wei family and the Chen family all gathered together.

The battle against the Mogu people this time was actually very tragic, and those who died were always a heavy topic.

Now is the Chinese New Year, a rare time for leisure and joy, and it is not suitable to discuss military affairs related to the Chinese New Year.

So everyone didn't mention these topics, they only talked about short gossips, and didn't mention those heavy topics.

After chatting for a while, Jia Min waited for the men to leave, and each went back to rest.

Baochai and the other girls were not satisfied, so they played cards together and played poker.

When in the mansion, the ancestors had three major entertainment activities.

One is to chat with the female relatives, the other is to watch a play, and the third is to draw cards.Girls have been influenced by their ancestors since they were young, and they have learned these things early.

After dinner the next morning, Jia Qiang, Jia Yun and other juniors from the Jia family came to kowtow first to pay New Year's greetings.Then Jia Min took the officers around, first the Beihai Volunteer Army, then the Wendula soldiers, and finally the Chang'an Restoration Army, paying New Year's greetings one by one.

After paying New Year's greetings, Jia Min came to Chang'an.

Lichun placed melons and fruits, poured tea, and went out, leaving Jia Min and Chang'an in the room.

Seeing that there were only two people left, Chang An felt a little uncomfortable, and unconsciously, his face turned red.

"I already know about that."

Jia Min seemed to say something out of nowhere.

Chang An had already anticipated what Jia Min was talking about, and he was still a little shy after all, so he pretended to be stupid.

"What do you know?"

"It's between you and me."

"What's going on between you and me?"

"A marriage between us."

"Who is married to you again?"

"Oh, so it didn't. It seems that they spread rumors and nonsense, so let's pretend it's nothing and I'm leaving."

Jia Min got up and pretended to leave.

"Don't go, actually..."

Chang An was in a hurry.

"Actually, there is such a thing, right? Haven't I left yet?"

"Now that you know it, why do you still pretend to be stupid?"

"Aren't I afraid that you won't want to?"

"I just don't...you know how to bully me."

Chang'an wanted to say he didn't want to, but he still didn't say it.

"Although the King of Beijing and Bachelor Ji have some selfish intentions, they have done a good deed. To expose this matter earlier will save embarrassment in the future. In this way, I can rest assured."

"What are you worried about?"

"The first emperor betrothed you to me, so that in the future, others will not miss you, and no one will snatch you from me."

"You are so thick-skinned, you dare to say such shameless words, you are really a rascal."

"How can this be called a rascal? My fair lady, a gentleman is so good, there is a beautiful lady, on the side of the water..."

"Okay, I know what you want, so you don't want to drop your book bag. It's better than this poem Qin Yuanchun, which is majestic and natural, it can be called a peerless masterpiece."

Chang An smiled, seeing that Jia Min had already approved the matter, he felt infinitely sweet in his heart.

"Where is it, this poem is all thanks to the sage, and I dare not be greedy for credit."

"There are so many people who read the books of sages and sages, how many of them can write such masterpieces? If this word is spread, and the defeat of the Mogu people, I am afraid that no one in the world will know you."

"Cultural governance and martial arts are all fleeting, but being able to stay with Chang'an will last forever."

"You can talk, but the elders in your family don't know, what will happen in the future?"

"There is nothing to worry about in Chang'an. You should also know that I always listen to the right words of the elders in my family, and don't listen to the wrong ones. They are already used to it."

"It's just that the elders in the family don't intervene, and others are afraid..."

Jia Min naturally understood that Chang'an was referring to Baochai and the others.

However, since I have made this point clear with Chang'an today, I will try my best to explain it clearly to her and make her feel at ease.

"Baochai has a marriage contract and is already engaged. This matter can no longer be changed. However, I can't wrong you and make you a concubine. I have already made up my mind about this matter, but I haven't thought it through at this time, and the timing is too late. immature."

"Chang'an, just be safe and don't be impatient. In the future, you will definitely be given a satisfactory title, so that you won't be wronged, and the people in the world will have nothing to say."

Regarding the name of Chang'an, it is indeed a very difficult issue.

Jia Min and Baochai are already engaged. This is a great rule of human relations, which can hardly be changed.

It is precisely because of this that Yuan Heng said in the marriage letter that he does not seek status, does not seek glory and wealth, but only seeks a safe life.

This statement is actually accepting Chang'an's status as a concubine.

However, this time and that time also.

At that time, Yuan Heng believed that Chang'an would only be a daughter of a subjugated country in the future. Now, Chang'an has the hope of becoming a queen.

Once Chang'an became the empress, not only officials of Dade, but also ordinary people would find it difficult to accept their emperor as a concubine.Especially as a concubine for the North Sea barbarians.

At that time, it will be very natural to either rise up against Chang'an, or the two countries will fight each other.

"If it's really not possible, I don't have to be the emperor. Besides, it's not my wish to be the emperor. After defeating the Mogu people, this world will be yours sooner or later. It's the same if you are the emperor and I am the emperor. "

For becoming emperor, Chang'an did not have a strong desire.

On the contrary, in her opinion, instead of being the emperor, she would strengthen her position even more.At least, now that Jia Min is the emperor, his queen's position is safe.

At this point, no one can say anything.

"I am the emperor, I don't want to, my subordinates don't want to, and the people of China don't want to, so why should I ask for trouble? Whether I want to be the emperor or not will be discussed in the future. The world is uncertain at this time , when the world is settled, it will not be too late to talk about this matter, what do you think?"

"What can I do? Everything is naturally up to you."
