In a blink of an eye, it was already the end of the year, the cold wind was blowing the snowflakes, with a biting chill, the tall city wall, at this moment was covered with a layer of white silver, like an ice wall, stepping on the thick snow on the ground, the special wool boots, or felt a bone-chilling cold, and it was really cold in ancient times.

On the side are more than 20 little girls, all of whom are wearing woolen coats of various colors embroidered with various flowers.

Nicole Xiaochuan was red from the cold, leaned down in the woolen jacket, and said, "Xiaochuan, why don't you bring the carriage here, it's so cold."

"Carriage" Xiao Chuan smiled coldly, looked at Nicole hairy, and said: "You are embarrassed to carry the carriage, hehe, who put a million enemies in my carriage last time!" ”

When Nicole heard this, her face turned red, she touched her buttocks, and said, "You hit me too."

Xiao Chuan is not uncommon to say that they are this group of little girls who are already feared in the village, and their equipment is either obtained from robbing the firearms bureau or from the blacksmith shop, and the last time they blew up their carriages with 10,000 enemies, each of them was beaten by themselves and their butts were red, which is a lot more honest.

The merchants on both sides of the road are also closed to prepare for the New Year, and from time to time you can hear the sound of firecrackers, which makes Xiaochuan feel like he has returned to the time of the previous generation for the New Year.

came to Xishu Garden on the side of the street, and the beautiful proprietress also changed into a pink plush cloak and draped it on her body, and her beautiful face had a more dusty temperament against the background of the snow.

Mengru saw Xiao Chuan coming, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, and said: "Xiao Chuan, you are here, the second floor wing, Mr. Wang Heng has been waiting for you for a long time" These days, Xiao Chuan often comes to eat, and the two are more familiar, it is a feeling like sister and brother, which also makes Xiao Chuan feel strange for a while, and the other party also found out that Xiao Chuan knows the identity of her Jinyiwei, but no one has broken it, maintaining this sister-brother relationship.

Xiaochuan nodded, and walked over, Mengru looked at it, and said, "How about the cloak I gave you, it still fits and warms"

"Naturally, my sister's craftsmanship is excellent, this cloak is not only warm but also fits" Xiaochuan nodded, this technique is comparable to Xiangyi, speaking of Xiangyi Xiaochuan is a little big, she has become a workaholic, rarely see her, there may be people who are born to like to work.

Hearing Xiaochuan's praise, Mengru's eyes narrowed like a crescent moon, and said, "Okay, you just dress properly, go to the second floor, and my sister will cook by herself."

In the words of ordinary people, let alone cooking, it is impossible to let Mengru serve dishes, but for Xiaochuan, she always serves dishes, cooks, and pours wine herself.

"Then it's hard sister" Xiao Chuan also said a polite word and walked up to the wooden attic, while the girls stayed on the first floor.

Pushing open the wooden door of the private room, a hot air rushed in from inside, but it was the stove in the room, which made the room warm and very comfortable.

Wang Heng was wearing a thick mink fur and a fur on his head, which looked quite like the dress of a landlord over there in Kansai, he was particularly afraid of the cold, and this mink fur was given by Xiaochuan.

Xiaochuan walked over directly, it was the New Year, but he came here to listen to his report. Grab a meal by the way.

"Lord, you came just in time, accompany the old man to drink two glasses" Wang Heng smiled, and the wine cup in his hand was full of wine.

"Go, report work first and then talk about other things" Xiaochuan waved his hand, this old man just drank wine and ate meat.

The population of Qianhu Institute during this period of time has reached 20,000, and I wanted to recruit another 1,000 recruits before the year, but this young man has too many things to do, such as building water conservancy, roads, and all kinds of farm work, and I am afraid that I will only be able to recruit 1,000 recruits for training after the year.

The outer wall of the periphery is also preparing to be built, the thousands of households are becoming more and more prosperous, and the soap business is also spreading, with tens of thousands of silver entering every month, and almost the entire business of Shandong Province has been covered, among which Beidou, an intelligence organization, has contributed the most.

There are more than 900 soldiers, and these more than 900 people are all elites who have experienced a hundred battles and have been trained for a long time, and they are also wearing armor, which is either a fine chain mail or iron armor, and this 100% armor rate is unmatched by any force at this time.

Squeak, the door was pushed open, but it was Han Gang, Han Tie, a group of 100 household officers, in addition to 800 households, there is also a kind of general flag, they also came to eat, and they got together for the New Year.

A group of people just asked for luggage, but Xiaochuan waved his hand and said, "Today's New Year, I will be exempted from vulgar etiquette."

A group of hundreds of households immediately found a place to sit, the most eye-catching of which was Han Gang, he was wearing a dark green wool cloak, which looked like it was from the hands of a woman, this is the cloak made of flowers that sell pancakes, he regarded this cloak as a treasure, and now with the development of thousands of households, the identity of these hundred households is also rising, especially this Han Gang, who is handsome, and young and promising, how many pairs of eyes are staring.

But this Han Gang is not abandoning that Ah Hua, it seems that he is already engaged, and Uncle Chen is now burning incense and worshiping Buddha every day, begging this golden beetle son-in-law not to be taken by other fox spirits, every time he talks about the past period of wanting to get rid of this golden beetle son-in-law, he is shocked into a cold sweat, fortunately he didn't do anything stupid back then.

"Hey, old Han, where did you find the tent, wrapped around your body, it's not too hot" Lantian on the side also laughed loudly, and the two of them would get up when they met.

"Hey, Lantian, you're wearing that old man's socks on your head," Han Gang immediately sarcastically said.

Lantian is wearing a hat on his head, which is very ugly, and the little white who sells soy milk, where does he know what needlework, he can only boil soy milk to make a hat, and he regards this Lantian as a treasure.

Everyone laughed and admired, they were good husbands in the fortress who lived up to their bad wives, and their good reputation spread, causing countless girls to cry.

Touch! The door was rudely pushed open, and the king came in, and he didn't shake the snow on his body when he came in, and put the hat full of snowflakes to the side, and sat straight next to Xiaochuan, and said, "Big brother, I'm here."

Seeing him Xiaochuan is also helpless, this guy will always be that resolute look.

"Go, shake the snow on your body" Xiaochuan hurriedly looked disgusted, and Wang Hezi obediently went to the side to carry the snow.

At this moment, the biggest change among the people is that Wang Youcai, the former Ming Dynasty troll, the wandering little scholar, is the most upright and the most military at the moment, but his true nature is exposed in his conversation.

"Hehe, Xiaochuan, why is this boss so good to you, I went to the back kitchen just now to take a look, she actually cooked for you, she ignored me when I came here" Wang Youcai said sourly

Everyone laughed, and Xiao Chuan was also helpless, this boss lady, probably because of the above tasks, she was so good to herself, Xiao Chuan has always thought so.

Soon after the people arrived, they began to drink, this Dazhu this person was aiming at Lantian during this time, and he took Lantian as the target again and again, challenged him, and lost extremely miserably every time.

"Hey, that Lantian, do you dare to drink with me" Dazhu is a cat on Lantian again.

Lantian touched his head, if ordinary people talked to him like this, he would definitely be furious, but this big pillar he was indifferent on the surface, and he admired this kind of indomitable person very much in his heart, and he would definitely have some achievements in the future, and said with a smile: "No, General Ben has to go home today"

Family! Hearing this word, many generals showed envy in their eyes.

Han Gang also touched his head, embarrassed, and said, "Hehe, I'm going to celebrate the New Year with Uncle Chen, haha"

The two punished themselves for a few drinks, and then left, and the rest of the people drank.

After a few drinks, the door was pushed open, and a tall man wearing a hat and covered with snow came over, but it was Yu Dongyang, who had a little more old on his face, and during this time he also began to train the people, and said: "Haha, Brother Qin, Brother Qin is here."

"Welcome brother" Xiao Chuan immediately smiled, this Yu Dongyang has been back and forth several times during this time, and the relationship is also familiar.

"Brother brought you a gift," Yu Dongyang smiled.

"Alas, brother, why are you so polite" Xiao Chuan waved his hand, and all the hundreds of households thought that this guy could bring any good gifts? "You also know that I don't lack anything in this thousand households."

"Ten Franc machine cannons, you are not lacking" Yu Dongyang said with a smile, with a hint of smile in his eyes.

Xiao Chuan was ecstatic in his heart, artillery, artillery is what he lacks the most at the moment, but he didn't expect this.

"Hehe, if you want a cannon, you have to drink" Yu Dongyang said with a smile, Xiaochuan was moved in his heart, the ten Franc machines were given to himself after Yu Dongyang got them, and this friendship made him feel ashamed in his heart.
