Fan Xi had no choice but to leave the Lotus Village on the road and return to Pingyang Mansion, and Xiao Tianjian immediately turned back to the village, sent a large number of people, carried some food that had just been robbed, and sent a little bit to the poor local people who couldn't open the pot from village to village, so that they could have a full meal in this New Year's Festival.

All the ordinary people who received the food had tears in their eyes, knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the subordinates of the Xingtian Army again and again, and were even more grateful to Xiao Tianjian, the big boss who wanted to get their suffering.

After finishing this matter, it was already the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, and Xiao Tianjian had already determined that during this year's festival, there would definitely be no more troubles for the officers and soldiers to come to them, so he ordered that only a small number of personnel on duty should be left everywhere, and the rest of the people could have a drink to celebrate the first Spring Festival that they had passed since the Punishment Heavenly Army came into its own army.

Many people here were almost starving to death during the Spring Festival last year, where is there a little festive atmosphere! But now that they are following Xiao Tianjian, they have a place to live, food to eat, even wine to drink, and meat to eat, how can they not be full of emotion! Holding wine bowls one by one, they all toasted Xiao Tianjian, who came to eat with them, to express their gratitude to Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian drank a little lightly, and smiled at these subordinates: "The big guy has been with me Xiao for a long time, but I, Xiao, also know in my heart that the reason why we can have this day is actually inseparable from the efforts of the brothers. Let them also be under the Nine Springs, knowing that we people have not forgotten them! After saying that, Xiao Tianjian raised his hand and spilled the bowl of wine on the ground, and then someone hurried over and poured another bowl of wine for Xiao Tianjian.

Xiao Tianjian held the wine bowl, and then said to everyone: "This second bowl of wine, I will drink it first, and at the same time, please drink this cup with all the brothers!" I also wish our Xingtianjun a step forward next year! Let's do it together......" After saying that, Xiao Tianjian picked up the wine bowl and drank it all in a thunderous cheer......

At the same time, in the back camp, in a not too big hall, there was also a table of simple wine and food, Fan Linger sat silently at the table, her eyes were a little red, and she looked up at the door from time to time, waiting for Xiao Tianjian's return.

And Fan Yutong sat in the position of the guest of honor, holding a book and reading, from time to time he would glance at the restless Fan Ling'er, and figure out Fan Linger's psychology, the atmosphere in the room was very embarrassing, everyone had no intention of speaking, and they were thinking about each other's thoughts.

Only Die'er stands behind Fan Ling'er with her hands down, since her identity has been recognized, her status has plummeted in the Xingtianjun, although she is still Xiao Tianjian's woman, but her status has long been unable to be equal to Fan Ling'er, Fan Ling'er is not embarrassed or embarrassed to be Xiao Tianjian's concubine, even if she has no substantive reputation, but the big guy knows it, so Fan Linger's identity and status in the Xingtianjun are not low, in this case, Fan Ling'er can have a seat, but Die'er can only be regarded as a maid, can't sit down, but can only serve on the side, although Die'er is a little unwilling in her heart, but she doesn't dare to compete with Fan Ling'er for favor.

She also knows that with her identity, it is already a blessing to be able to keep such a position now, just because she is sent by Gao Yingxiang, it is enough to make her fall into a situation of no return, and now she can still stand here alive, for her, it is already Xiao Tianjian's extrajudicial grace, if she is not willing to compete with Fan Ling'er for favor, then what is waiting for her, Die'er herself does not dare to think, so she can only be willing to do so, succumbing to Fan Ling'er, Temporarily took over some of Fan Ling'er's work to serve Xiao Tianjian.

Although Xiao Tianjian has now temporarily stabilized in Yangcheng County, most of the time on weekdays, he still deals with various official affairs in front, and he also stays in the front village at night, and rarely sleeps in the back village, so it is not easy for Fan Linger and Die'er to meet Xiao Tianjian, but Fan Yutong has often gotten along with Xiao Tianjian during this time, which makes Fan Ling'er feel sour, and can't help but worry a little that this Fan Yutong may be the next her, and with Fan Yutong's family background, If Xiao Tianjian and the Fan family establish a solid alliance, it is not impossible to include Fan Yutong in the house, then Fan Yutong will be the main house at that time, and there will be no problem.

So Fan Ling'er, a girl who has lived in a wealthy family since she was a child, also has a natural sensitivity to family politics, she is very clear about her identity and status, even if she is a little jealous, she has never thought about fighting for the status of the main family, so she is already planning for herself.

For tonight's Chinese New Year's Eve to set up a family banquet, it was also proposed by Fan Linger, and the banner was not just to get together with Xiao Tianjian, but to entertain Fan Yutong, considering that Fan Yutong was alone, spending this Spring Festival in the Punishment Heavenly Army would be too cold, so they proposed the idea of accompanying Fan Yutong, and they also got Xiao Tianjian's consent.

To a certain extent, Fan Linger has begun to curry favor with Fan Yutong now, just to lay a foreshadowing in advance, in case Fan Yutong enters Xiao Tianjian's door one day, and because he offends her, he can't even get the name of a side room, there is no question of who is in front of and who is behind.

After this extremely simple banquet was placed, Fan Yutong also happily came over to the banquet, but Xiao Tianjian still did not return here, which made Fan Linger a little uncomfortable, and smiled apologetically at Fan Yutong and said, "Sister must be hungry!" Sister don't blame our general, the general is now in a hurry, it is rare to come back, today is the Chinese New Year's Eve, with the nature of the general, it is still their brothers first, first with the brothers to greet each other, before returning! So please don't be angry, Sister Fan! Wait a little longer, the general will definitely come back! ”

Fan Yutong didn't know what Fan Ling'er was thinking, but the reason why she was willing to come over to participate in this small family banquet-type party was because she was indeed a little lonely and wanted to find some comfort during this festival, and secondly, because she was also willing to chat with Xiao Tianjian and listen to Xiao Tianjian say some strange things, as for dealing with Fan Linger and the two of them, Fan Yutong had nothing to taboo, after all, this is not her home, and she wants to be much freer, and she also knows some about the origin of Fan Linger and Die'er, I was a little curious about the two of them.

And Fan Ling'er left a relatively shrewd impression on her, and for some reason, she still had a feeling of flattering her, so Fan Yutong's impression of Fan Ling'er was also good, and when she came over just now, the two of them also chatted casually, which made him quite sympathetic to Fan Linger's background.

"Sister, don't mind, I'm not hungry at this time, it doesn't hurt to wait a little longer, it's just that guy doesn't even enter the back village all day long, isn't it possible that my sister doesn't complain at all?" Fan Yutong smiled, put down the book in his hand, and said to Fan Ling'er.

"The general is a person who does great things, my sister is just one of his maids, I can sit here and wait for the general to come back, it is already my sister's luck, how dare I complain about the general!" Fan Ling'er replied obediently.

"Humph! Men are like this, they always feel that they are doing something big, so they don't take women seriously, and if that guy doesn't come back, he won't come back! Our sisters won't wait for him! Otherwise, we'll eat it ourselves! The guy in the province drank too much in front and didn't come back, can't we all be hungry this Chinese New Year's Eve? Fan Yutong didn't have Fan Linger's kind of consciousness, and after hearing this, she suddenly became rebellious and decided not to wait for Xiao Tianjian anymore.

Fan Ling'er hurriedly said: "If my sister is hungry, eat first!" Die'er and I will wait for the general again! ”

"Someone must be speaking ill of me! Why is my ear a little hot? Hehe! At this moment, a deep male voice sounded outside the door, and as soon as the door opened, a cool breeze blew into the room.

Fan Ling'er quickly stood up and hurried to greet Xiao Tianjian's arrival with Die'er, Xiao Tianjian shook the cloak on his body to keep out the cold, Fan Ling'er and Die'er quickly took it, untied the cloak for Xiao Tianjian, and let Die'er take it and hang it on the wall.

Xiao Tianjian saw Fan Yutong sitting at the table, and he didn't mean to get up to greet him, and he didn't care, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, I made Miss Fan wait for a long time!" As the leader of the Xingtian Army, why do I have to pay New Year's greetings to the brothers first, but I have neglected Miss Fan! Come on, come on, let's eat! Pour wine for Miss Fan, and Ling'er also sit down to eat together! Saying that, Xiao Tianjian sat down in the upper position with a big grin, and greeted Fan Ling'er and Die'er, but he didn't let Die'er also sit down and eat together, obviously making the status of the two of them different.

After Fan Ling'er excused herself, she sat opposite Xiao Tianjian, that is, Fan Yutong's subordinate position, and Die'er didn't dare to be dissatisfied, so she quickly picked up the wine jug, poured wine for Xiao Tianjian and Fan Yutong, and also poured a glass of wine for Fan Ling'er.

"Come, come, come! I, Xiao, want to toast Miss Fan today, all because of me, so that Miss Fan has to stay in our 'den of thieves'! Ha ha! Today's glass of wine is my apology to Miss Fan, Miss Fan must drink it! After Xiao Tianjian finished speaking, he picked up the wine cup in front of him and saluted Fan Yutong.

Fan Yutong slowly picked up the wine glass and said leisurely: "General Xiao is really busy!" Little girl, thank you General for remembering that I have such a meat ticket! I finally remember to come and meet someone like me! Needless to say, it's useless to say it, and the general doesn't plan to put me back anyway, so I don't want to drink this glass of wine! With that, she put down her glass again.
