Mr. Jiang's annual vacation life has finally begun.

Of course, in addition to researching delicious and fun things every day, there is another great pleasure, which is preparing for the New Year.

Various New Year goods such as various snacks, new clothes, fireworks, couplets and paper-cuts, chicken, duck, and fish are being purchased one after another.

With the resources of mortals, there are really specialties from all over the world, and everything is available. Many things have been delivered as early as half a year ago.

Jiang Fan also plans to celebrate the New Year this year, which will include at least three major banquets.

The first one is, of course, a family banquet. During the Chinese New Year, no matter how big the banquet is, it can’t be bigger than a family banquet. This is a complex feeling.

The second event was a banquet at the palace. Given the name of the palace, one can imagine that it was a banquet hosted by Jiang Fan for all his retainers and subordinates.

Nowadays, although there are too many people who cannot be made public, there are already too many who can show up. Who doesn’t want to find an opportunity to meet the master in person?

After Ba Qing and others suggested it, and Zhang Zaifu thought it was necessary, Jiang Fan decided to hold this banquet. It took more than four months to prepare.

The third event is the state banquet of the Qin State. Yes, the empress has now officially issued a decree, positioning the New Year's Day as one of the most important festivals in the Qin State, and stipulated that the New Year's Day will be regarded as one year old increment, and the whole country will have a ten-day holiday on the New Year's Day.

At the same time, the country's year-end inventory was changed from the time before the Autumn Festival to before the New Year's Day. Then, the people will naturally make many corresponding changes.

With many things being updated, the New Year Festival has officially entered the stage of history and will inevitably become the most important festival in the Qin Dynasty in the future.

So, in order to celebrate this grand event, the Empress specially ordered that Mortal Residence host the first New Year's Eve state banquet. This was originally considered a political task, but Jiang Fan happily accepted the order. After all, it was initiated by himself, and finally the national banquet that he had always dreamed of was implemented.

days.

Of course, the specifications and requirements for such a large banquet are also very high, so starting from the day the empress issued the decree, mortals have already started preparations under the auspices of Gu Beiyan. With the cooperation of Zhao Gao, who is thorough in everything, Jiang Fan does not need to spend anything.

Heart.

These three banquets were indeed a big job, so Gu Beiyan had a barbecue alone with Jiang Fan the night before and had no time to play around with the others. Moreover, when he met Jiang Fan, he ducked past him and walked in a hurry.

Of course, the only ones who could play with Jiang Fan were Lin Nanyan, Tian Luoyu, Xiao Beibei, and Xiao Pixiu. Most of the others were dragged away by Gu Beiyan to work.

Luan Feifei and Yun Fuyao were not spared either. Due to Lin Nanyan's unreliability, Luan Feifei took charge of the preparations for the New Year's party. Yun Fuyao became Gu Beiyan's deputy, supervising work everywhere.

Even Hathaway had an errand, which made her complain constantly, saying that she came here to learn sailing.

Regardless of her, Gu Beiyan didn't take it to heart at all and continued to give orders. But unknowingly, Hathaway actually blended into this atmosphere. Everyone worked together during the day and sat together to eat and discuss at night. That weird sense of harmony made her

Feeling inexplicably comfortable.

As a member of a different race, Prince Duron enjoyed it endlessly. He knew that this was the last New Year to be spent in a mortal home for a long, long time in the future. Maybe... maybe it would be the last one.

Therefore, she worked extremely hard and rushed to do the heavy and tiring work, which actually made Mrs. Wang feel a little distressed.

And this man from the grassland, who was different from the barbarians he knew, was truly accepted by mortals in this last year.

Someone once saw with his own eyes that after a day's work, Gu Beiyan gave him a roast chicken and a pot of good wine, and then said casually: "Thank you for your hard work." This guy actually burst into tears, and said that his eyes were narrowed by the wind and sand.

. He was inevitably laughed at by Tian Luoyu for a while, but after being laughed at, he also gave him a bunch of his candied haws.

No one knew that the prince cried so much that night. In the end, he took out the monthly salary he had received in the mortal world over the years. His savings were not much, but he counted them one by one many times, and finally cherished them.

He hid it in the wooden box, locked it, checked it several times, and after making sure it was locked, he hugged him and fell asleep...

——

The good days lasted for three days. In these days, Mr. Jiang did not care about anything but leisure and entertainment. How could he be so happy in his little life?

After that day, he announced in a high-profile way that he was going to take a vacation. It was good. Indeed, no one came to visit him. I don’t know if it was tacitly expressed, but they all wanted him to relax and unwind. It was true that no one came to visit, and almost no one came to see him with anything serious.

Mr. Jiang thinks it is very interesting to spend this annual holiday well.

Three days of pleasant time passed by in a flash. On the fourth day, Mr. Jiang got up early in the morning and stretched out in the fresh cold air. Just as he was about to think about what to do today, he saw Long Si rushing over.

Tell him he has an unexpected visitor.

Originally Mr. Jiang only thanked guests behind closed doors, but he really had to see this person.

Xiao Ren Tu, Gao Rong.

It's my first time to visit my house.

The arrival of this murderous god instantly caused the temperature in mortal homes to drop by ten degrees.

Jiang Fan couldn't see him ruining the atmosphere and called him to the living room.

Gao Rong didn't even sit down, so he opened his mouth and said: "Tai Chi will watch Feng Chen in three days."

Jiang Fan was a little surprised: "Fengchen is coming to Qin publicly?"

Gao Rong nodded: "Today, the court has sent credentials."

Jiang Fan pinched his chin. He was quite high-profile, but it was difficult for Jiang Fan to stir up trouble in such a public meeting.

"Have you figured out the terms?"

Gao Rongdao: "Sign up to the world and abolish the secret supervisory envoys of the Qin State. There will be no stars in Yangdu."

Jiang Fan shook his head: "This condition is a bit false."

First of all, there are five supervisory envoys of the Feng family, who travel to the five countries and are known to the world. Even if the decision is made, they may not be withdrawn secretly. Secondly, Yangdu is one of the capitals of the five countries, and it is the place where the Feng family pays most attention. The people lurking in Yangdu

Mr. Xing Luo said there must be two or three thousand people. Who knows if they would seriously take them all away.

Gao Rong also knew this, but after he explained it, Jiang Fan suddenly felt that it was feasible.

First of all, the civil and military forces of Great Qin are definitely not a loser. The empress holds a list of more than 600 people in the Yangdu Star Luo, and it may be difficult for Feng Chen to know who has been exposed. By then, he only needs to compare it to know whether the secret court has acted as promised. If

If the promise is not fulfilled, the known six hundred stars will be arrested by Gao Rong, forcing Fengchen to the negotiation table again, and Fengchen will be even more upset by then.

Second, the key lies in the four words "tell the world". This shows an attitude. It allows the other four countries to see that the Feng family can compromise on some things and can do it. This will undoubtedly be a huge blow to the Feng family's reputation.

.

"Okay, I agree to this condition." Jiang Fan felt that it would be unrealistic to ask for anything else, but it would be feasible to cut down Yangdu Star Luo first.

"Secondly, Fengchen can redeem one million taels of silver."

"Only one million taels? Not enough sincerity, but forget it, these five hundred people will have their faces tattooed, and all their families will be expelled, and they will not be allowed to enter the Qin Dynasty for life."

Gao Rong nodded, thinking it was not too difficult. "But Fengchen also put forward the conditions for the meeting."

Gao Rong then revealed his purpose of coming, which surprised Jiang Fan. Feng Chen asked him to go to Tai Chi Temple to meet him.

"He is a passive party and has no qualifications." Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes and said.

"Not entirely, there is the Crown Princess."

Jiang Fan was stunned for a moment. The Crown Princess was the Concubine Shu. Because the empress succeeded to the throne, her name naturally became the Crown Princess.

The meaning of Gao Rong's words was obviously to let Jiang Fan understand that the Feng family was not completely at a disadvantage, and that some things still entangled each other.

Jiang Fan thought for a moment and showed a smile: "Well, to be honest, Fengchen and I have been fighting secretly for so long, so it's time for us to meet formally."

When Gao Rong saw that he agreed, he said: "At three quarters of noon, Fengchen chooses." Then he turned around and left.
