Chapter 37: New Year's Gifts

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye, and during this time, because of the auction, all the major forces in the city are paying attention to the Long family, if it weren't for the relationship between Long Yu back then, and the participation of the county guard, it is estimated that the Long family has already been accused by someone of the heart through the government that the Long family is a remnant of Western Chu, although this matter is a fact!

During this month, Long Jun and other things to prepare are almost carried out, Ma Chao went out early and returned late, and the fields outside Dongcheng have been changed into a complete winery, usually according to Long Jun's instructions, he often mixes in the aristocratic circle in Guangling County to pull the relationship set closely, although Ma Chao offended many Guangling families before, but because Wei Qi's jade pendant still has a high value of wine, so that everyone does not dare to be too harsh on him, after all, this person has the shadow of the Hedong Wei family and has a way to make money, how dare they offend, can only humbly echo it, Ma Chao is not stupid, of course he knows what these people are thinking, but since people don't offend me, then I don't offend people either, everyone thinks that the snake is living, just don't delay things!

Contrary to Ma Chao, it was too difficult for Xu Chu to find a perfect Zhuangzi, and he had no choice but to find a position that could slightly satisfy Long Jun, so after the New Year, the Long family moved to it!

For Zhao Yun's recruitment, it is really not difficult, after all, the Han Dynasty is now terminally ill, and there are too many displaced people, and everyone wants to find a livelihood.

However, because the restaurant is temporarily continuing to rectify according to Long Jun's instructions, it is not open at this stage, and Ma Chao can only put the high wine in front of the restaurant, and only sell ten jars every day according to Long Jun's instructions, so that the rich people in Guangling can see Ma Chao's hatefulness again.

In this way, another seven days have passed, Guangling County has already been filled with the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival, and there are many more people on the street than before, even the Long family who has dismissed the next person, at this moment is also full of laughter, although there are only nine people in the family, but it is extremely cheerful, because all of them are their own people, and there is no previous caution, and the meals during this time are handled by Long Jun himself, in his previous life, he went south and north, and the old man was ruthless, so he had a good cooking skill!

Although there are not many ingredients and seasonings in this era, as long as he cooks, the Long family will eat a lot more than usual!

Approaching the end of the year, Long looked at Long Jun, these half-grown children, and the mood was also a lot better, the previous five years were her own New Year, and there was always a trace of New Year's flavor at home, this year the two brothers Long Jun and Long Yang came back, not to mention, and brought Zhao Yun, Ma Chao, Xu Chu, these children of the same age as Long Jun, added a lot of cheerful atmosphere to the parents. So not long after the auction ended, she ordered Xiangbo to go to Nancheng Silk Village to make two brocade robes for each person!

At the beginning, Long Jun also thought that ordering so many clothes at home would provide clues to those who paid attention to him, but when he saw that Zhao Yun and Ma Chao were about the same height and size as himself, and it was really not good, it could be said that he had repaid the favor of Jiang Gongzi, and he didn't care about this, and let the Long family toss and buy New Year's goods there!

On the other side, the Chen family's mansion, at this moment Chen Gui was listening to the person who was watching him report to him about the recent affairs of the Long family, since the auction he sent out to follow Ma Chao was knocked unconscious in the county guard's mansion, he felt that the crack of this matter might be in the Long family, especially when the Long family sent the people back to Dongcheng Farm, Chen Gui was even more curious, so he asked the people to pay attention to the Long family for the past month. However, according to his character, he doesn't plan to make a move on the Long family for the time being, he also wants to have a deeper understanding of the relationship between Ma Chao and the Long family, which is his main goal. And the people who can come up with the auction method to make money are also the talents that every family needs, even if they are scholars, even if they can't be recruited, they can talk about some cooperation!

Long Jun also has a deep understanding of the Chen family's exploration during this time! Every time he came back from outside, he could feel that someone was following him, so he asked Xu Chu to check secretly, until he found out that it was the Chen family, he put his mind at ease, after all, the auction had a deep impact, and he knew that these people who had a little brain would not let go of exploring the relationship between the Long family and Ma Chao! He can only let this go, after all, he can't afford to offend the Chen family now, and if the Chen family really needs cooperation, it is okay, just wait until the end of the year, they can move away and let Ma Chao go to negotiate the cooperation of the Chen family!

The thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve finally arrived, the Long family was full of red lanterns, the entire mansion was full of festive festivities, Long Jun led Longyang Ma Chao and others to change into the brocade robe prepared by the Long clan early in the morning, everyone was radiant, from a distance it looked like a noble son traveling, five people Lian Jue came to the Long family house to bow, the Long family saw the five children kowtowing to themselves in front of them, their faces were full of happy smiles, and they quickly said softly, "Hurry up!" Prepare some dried fruits for you to eat, and wait until you bow to the children, then come and enjoy them! ”

"Yes, Madame!" The five of them knelt on the ground and responded

After kowtowing to the Long family, Zhao Yun and the others followed Long Jun to Tong Yuan's house to bow, and after finally finishing these rituals, Ma Chao and Zhao Yun bowed to Long Jun's disciples, which made Long Jun cry and laugh! I can only sigh at the complexity of ancient etiquette!

After all the New Year's greetings were over, Long Jun looked at the four of them and said with a smile, "Go, come with me, this time I have prepared some good things for you!" Longyang, don't follow, you go to your mother's place to accompany your mother first, these things will give you a better set when you grow up! ”

Although Long Yang is usually naughty, he has always listened to Long Jun's words, but he was still a little dissatisfied when he saw that his brother didn't prepare gifts for him, pouted, and said sexually, "Okay, then where am I going to my mother!" ”

"Good, don't worry, when you are as old as me, my brother will never treat you badly!"

"Oh!" After speaking, Long Yang walked towards the direction of the Long family's courtyard with a depressed face!

Ma Chao glanced at the departing Long Yang, rubbed his hands and asked with a smile, "What a good thing, Master!" ”

"You'll find out when you go! It's a good thing to designate! Long Jun sold a pass, gave a following look at a few people, turned around and walked towards the treasury where the money and silver were stored!

As soon as they arrived at the door of the warehouse, several people were attracted by the two horses at the door of the house, at this moment there were only Long Jun's dragon horse and Ma Chao's black horse in the Dragon Mansion, and the horse that Xu Chu used to travel before had already been thrown to Dongcheng Farm by Long Jun, so when the three of them saw the BMW in front of them, their eyes showed a blazing color! A snow-white horse, a fat and strong body, all of them are excellent horses!

Long Jun smiled slightly, and whispered to Ma Chao, "There is no yours here for the time being, your gifts are all behind!" Then regardless of Ma Chao's mood, he turned his head and continued to Xu Chu Zhaoyun, "I found these two horses from the horse market a while ago, one is from Xiliang and the other is from Youzhou!" The former is a yellow horse, named Wind Shadow, and given to Zhongkang! Zhongkang, you are heavy, this horse is in the upper echelon in terms of endurance and speed, it is definitely suitable for you! And this white horse is given to Zilong, this horse is called Snow Silver Dragon, and the man who sold my horse said, these horses are all excellent horses, so I will buy them and give them to you! ”

After listening to Long Jun's introduction, the two hurriedly said excitedly, "Zilong (Zhongkang), thank you Uncle (Lord)!" ”

"Thank you, thank you! It's all your own people, what's there to be polite! ”

Ma Chao, who was on the side, heard Long Jun introduce these horses, and said with a hint of embarrassment on his face, "Master, are you sure this is the best horse?" ”

"Isn't it?" Long Jun asked puzzled at this time.

After knowing that Long Jun didn't know how to see horses, Ma Chao carefully explained to him, "These horses look like good horses, but they are all flashy horses, and they can be used for decoration." If I really have to travel a long way, I guess this horse can't even reach half of my black horse, and it will collapse from exhaustion. ”

"Not really, right?"

"The best good horse, not to mention the master of your dragon horse, even my black horse is also rare, Xuzhou is located in the Central Plains, and not Xiliang Youzhou and other places, where can there be a real good horse?"

Ma Chao's explanation and reminder, Long Jun also knew that he might have been deceived, who let himself have no experience in Soma? With embarrassment on his face, he didn't know how to tell Xu Chu and Zhao Yun, and he swore that he was the best horse before.

"That.... Zilong.. Zhong..."

Zhao Yun was relatively more mature than Xu Chu, he knew his uncle's intentions, and he also understood his current embarrassment, so he hurriedly spoke out for Long Jun and said, "It's okay uncle, horses are also means of transportation, with these two horses, it is more convenient for us to do things." ”

Before Xu Chu could speak, Long Jun hurriedly took the steps given by Zhao Yun and hurriedly said, "Okay, I'll try my best to collect it for you." ”

In order to skip this matter, Long Jun pulled Xu Chu and a few people into the warehouse. After entering, everyone was a little uncomfortable at first because of the darkness of the warehouse, but when everyone saw a row of weapon racks, their eyes were long gone, and they were replaced by a sparkle of light.

Long Jun stepped forward, took a spear from the weapon rack and threw it to Ma Chao, and then heard him chuckle and say, "This gun is called the Tiger Head Zhan Golden Gun, which is made of a mixture of refined iron and meteoric iron, and the whole gun weighs seventy-six catties and is one zhang and two feet long." I ordered Xiangbo to go to the largest blacksmith shop in Pengcheng to buy it, and I got to know it forged according to the strength and height of my future age, so you usually have nothing to practice more! ”

Touching the spear that he couldn't put down, although Ma Chao felt that this gun was a little too heavy and too long now, the master was right, this gun should be suitable for use in the future, so he said excitedly, "Thank you, master, Meng Qi knows!" ”

Immediately afterwards, Long Jun took a long-handled knife from the weapon rack and threw it to Xu Chu, and explained to this knife, "This knife is called the Tiger Swallowing Sun Knife, the knife weighs ninety-five pounds, one zhang and three feet long, the knife edge has the shape of a tiger head swallowing the knife, and there is also a pattern of a tiger swallowing the sun on the blade, I think this knife is just right for you!" ”

Xu Chu took the knife and played a few tricks, then grinned and said to Long Jun: "Zhong Kang, thank you, lord!" ”

After giving the weapons to the two of them, Long Jun looked at Zhao Yun again, and said with a smile, "There are two guns left, one weighs sixty-six catties, and one weighs fifty-eight catties, in addition to the weight of the gun, the length of the two guns is almost the same, both are less than one zhang and two feet, which are one inch shorter than Meng Qi's guns, but the length of the head of the latter gun is one foot and two inches long, which is made using the craftsmanship of the Qin Dynasty, and the other one is..."

Before Long Jun's words were finished, Zhao Yun's eyes flashed, and he immediately interrupted and said, "Uncle Shi, I want this gun!" It works for me! ”

When Long Jun heard Zhao Yun say, he smiled and took the spear off the weapon rack and threw it to Zhao Yun, and said to Zhao Yun, "What you and I have learned is basically the same, so I let you choose it first, since you value this dry spear, then you can name him yourself, the whole spear is made of meteoric iron, cold iron, and fine iron, of which fine iron accounts for most of it, but the hardness of the gun body is by no means less than the weapons of the two of them, as for the gun body pattern, I am built according to the dragon body, this gun is extremely light, very suitable for your birds!" ”

"Thank you, uncle!" After Zhao Yun took the spear, his eyes were on the spear, stroking the lines of the spear, and said softly, "This spear is called the Gentian Silver Scale Spear!" ”

"Good! A good gun with a good name! ”

"That's a handsome name!"

Xu Chu and Ma Chao said enviously on the side! However, when everyone's excitement subsided a little, the three of them looked at Long Jun and asked, "Master (Uncle Shi) (Master), the last shot is your gun, right?" What's your name? ”

Long Jun smiled and stroked the spear that was still on the weapon rack, and said softly with a smile

"I've already thought of the name of my gun, it's called "Flying Feather Chasing Soul"!"
