Tomorrow will be the thirtieth year of the Chinese New Year's Eve, God will also give face, the sky is clear, and the big sun hangs in the sky. Although it didn't bring much heat, it made people's hearts really warm up a lot.

When I got up early in the morning, the whole Hou Mansion was busy. In the front yard, Yan Zhai led a group of subordinates to clean the courtyard and scrub the doors, windows and pillars of the house. In particular, the large plaque on the main entrance of the Hou Mansion is polished with golden light. After that, I was busy hanging lanterns and sticking red paper everywhere.

It's about to be the New Year, Jiang Chuan sent a message and made a new dress for each of the servants and maids of the Hou Mansion. There are fabrics sent by Li Yongnian, and there are also shops selling cloth, tailor shops, and ready-to-wear stores in the commercial street, and Qi Xuan presided over this matter.

She has always been careful, and after asking for everyone's size, she found a tailor shop to do it together.

The maids who put on new clothes heard that the Hou Ye still had a festival fee for everyone, and they were even more eager to work, and they were even more energetic to work.

Bai Jinxiu also rushed back from Datong, but he rushed into the headquarters of the Black Ice Platform and was busy dealing with various affairs.

On the twenty-ninth day of the Lunar New Year, the businessmen from Datong basically returned to Datong for the New Year, and the entire commercial street was only opened to the heavenly and earthly restaurant.

But fortunately, the people in the valley have prepared almost everything 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 Civil Affairs Division's officers patrolling the streets, the merchants didn't have to worry about thieves in their shops. Everyone has heard about the strict laws and regulations under the rule of Wu'an Hou in the past few days when they came to Erlong Valley, and they once killed more than 700 people at one time because of the brawl between the villagers of the two villages.

Nowadays, this Erlong Valley can basically be said to be able to do the road without leaving any stone behind, and the night is not closed. Therefore, these businessmen also put the door panel on with confidence, and General Tie went back to Datong with satisfaction as soon as he hung it.

The people of the entire Hou Mansion are busy arranging the environment for the New Year, and only Jiang Chuan is the most idle.

It was his first spring after coming into this world. Thinking that when I first came, I was still alone, helpless. Now they have all become the princes of Liaodong, and there are a large number of people around them, and they can't help but sigh in their hearts, and they also have some yearning and little excitement for this Spring Festival.

He got up early in the morning, and after Yatu served him and washed up, he went to the martial arts arena to practice swordsmanship again, and his whole body was steaming before he stopped.

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

Jiang Chuan took the towel and wiped his sweat and looked up to return the towel, but found that Yatu in front of him was hanging his head with tears on his face, his expression was a little sad, he thought about it slightly, and knew what was going on, so he said, "Are you homesick?" ”

Yatu didn't answer, and the tears fell down the ground.

Jiang Chuan didn't know how to comfort him. She was a captive, and she couldn't put her back himself, so he had to say, "Don't cry." I won't say anything superfluous. This is your life. Ask yourself, your fate is much better than that of many Han Chinese who were captured by your Amma, at least you have food and drink. For the New Year, don't spoil everyone's mood, otherwise you won't stay in my Hou Mansion. ”

Jiang Chuan's original intention was to say that if she was like this again, she wouldn't let her serve in the Hou Mansion, so as not to be upset.

Unexpectedly, Yatu thought that Jiang Chuan meant to kill himself, so he hurriedly knelt down and wailed: "Master Hou forgives the sin, the slave will never dare in the future." ”

Jiang Chuan looked at her, slightly upset, waved his hand to get her up, and didn't say anything more.

Qi Xuan happened to come in, saw Jiang Chuan's somewhat unhappy expression, and then looked at Yatu with tears on his face, and quickly understood what was going on in his heart, and said to Yatu: "You go to the kitchen to see if the breakfast for Hou Ye is ready." "I took Yatu away.

"Master Hou, don't be angry with her, I'll go back and persuade her a few words, so as not to make Master Hou angry again." Qi Xuan came over and comforted softly.

"I still have that measure. 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. "Egawa Road.

"Don't worry, Master Hou, I will make it clear to her. In fact, she is also young, so she can't hide things in her heart, and she didn't mean to upset Hou Ye. Qi Xuan said.

Jiang Chuan nodded and changed the subject: "Let you send someone to find the white girl, what about the person?" ”

Qi Xuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Hou Ye is thinking about the white girl, how dare I forget this matter." Someone was sent early in the morning, and the white girl said that she would come over after a while to deal with some things. ”

After a while, the maids brought breakfast, but it was hot spicy soup and fried dough cakes and two side dishes. This is also the breakfast standard of Jiangchuan's hometown in his previous life.

Especially eating a bowl of hot spicy soup on a cold day, my heart is suddenly comfortable and ironing, and I feel that a beautiful day in my life has begun.

After breakfast, Jiang Chuan asked Qi Xuan about the festival reward for the maids.

"Master Hou, according to your orders, except for a new set of clothes, all the male servants in the outer courtyard each have a red envelope of five taels of silver. The maids in the outer court are seven taels, of which there are two taels of silver according to your orders.

The sisters in the inner court were each ten taels of silver, and these expenses cost a total of nine hundred and eighty taels of silver. ”

Qi Xuan detailed the accounts.

Jiang Chuan thought for a while and said, "Okay, everyone will go to heaven and earth for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner tomorrow night, everyone has worked hard for half a year, treat everyone well tomorrow, and also taste Li Dazui's craftsmanship."

Qi Xuan pursed her lips and smiled: "Master Hou is kind-hearted, so those people below don't know what they will be happy about." I'll tell them in a moment and give them hope. ”

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

It was the two masters and servants of Bai Jinxiu.

"I've seen Master Hou!" This is Bai Jinxiu, and she still pays attention to etiquette in front of people

"Xiaowen has seen Hou Ye and has given Hou Ye a salute!" This is the little girl Xiaowen, who has learned to salute after not seeing her 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 are much slimmer, look at this little face is a little smaller." As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and pinched Xiaowen's little face.

Xiaowen's face flushed, and she wanted to hide but couldn't, so she had to blush and let Jiang Chuan ravage her face.

After letting go of Xiaowen, Jiang Chuan took Bai Jinxiu's hand in front of Qi Xuan and Xiaowen without any scruples, and found that her small hands were cold, and he hurriedly covered them with his big hands and said: "Let you come over early to have breakfast together, but you just can't let go of your mess." The work is too busy, and I won't urge you, so it's never too late for us to have a good New Year. ”

Bai Jinxiu was held by Jiang Chuan in public, she was shy, she wanted to withdraw her hand but didn't twitch, so she had to blush and let him hold it: "You, the eldest marquis, are naturally speaking easily. Now that the matter is in my hands, I have to make a decision sooner, and sooner or later it will be what I have to do. After dealing with the peace of mind that I can only live this year. ”

Jiang Chuan laughed twice and didn't refute, but turned to Qi Xuan and said, "Bring the things over and give them to the white girl to try." ”

Bai Jinxiu didn't know what she said, but Qi Xuan pursed her lips and smiled, looked at Bai Jinxiu with envy in her eyes, turned around and went to the next room, and soon walked over with a pure white fox fur in her hand.
