Chapter 147: Gifts, Chinese New Year
Chen Suwen seemed to have expected Feng Jian to do this, and pretended to be dissatisfied: "Bold, how can I, a father, pass on your love to my daughter? Now I just want to marry my daughter. Who do you think of me? Do you still have this elder in your eyes?"
Feng Jian was not scared by what Chen Suwen said, and kowtowed again: "My nephew and Miss Li Lan have been together for a long time. He is very envious of Miss Li Lan. Now he wants to lead the crowd to surrender to the government. The emperor will definitely become the arm of his uncle. I also ask my uncle to fulfill his nephew!"
Chen Suwen rolled his eyes and thought, "Forget it, I think you are not a thing in the pool. I will talk about this matter until I have asked Li Lan about it!"
Feng Jian was overjoyed. Chen heard this statement that he had acquiesced to the matter and kowtowed again: "Uncle Thank you for your fulfillment!"
As he said that, he took out a jade hairpin jewelry from his arms and said, "Please hand over this item to the small hairpin!"
"My dear nephew is really good at everything. Even the little girl, Xiaozhang, has a gift!"
Speaking of this, he joked: "I, the messenger, cannot run away in vain!"
Feng Jian rubbed his hands and said, "The best gift for my nephew and Huluyan to submit to the magistrate is the best gift, and my uncle is not satisfied!"
"Hahaha, you kid is quite a bit sensible. Don't be so annoying here. Go and handle the raid quickly. Remember, during the Chinese New Year, the government office will be sealed and stopped working. During this period, what happens can only be done until the next year." Seeing Feng Jian's understanding smile, he knew that he understood what he meant.
Chen Suwen smiled with satisfaction, looked at the two jewelry in his hand, and said, "What are you going to be too late? Let's go!"
Feng Jian solemnly knelt down to Chen Suwen: "My uncle has repeatedly supported me, and I am all remembered by my nephew!" Chen Suwen seemed to have not heard it, and walked straight to the backyard.
After the Fourth Day, on the 30th day of the 12th lunar month of the third year of Chongzhen, dozens of people from Cui Cheng'an, the head of the Cui family in Pingdu City died overnight. During this period, no neighbors around heard any abnormal movements from the Cui family.
Another strange thing is that all the fangs in the east of the city died strangely from the shopkeepers to the servants. It is said that this fangs in secret always do something to kill people and rob, and it is also a retribution for all bad things to be killed by others.
It was the Chinese New Year period, and all the six houses in the state yamen were sealed for holidays. Two major cases occurred overnight in the state city. No one took over for a while and had to file a record temporarily, waiting for the official office to open the seal before handling it.
The four gates of Pingdu City did not have martial law because of this. The common people entered and left as usual, and people were still immersed in the festive celebration of the New Year.
On the contrary, the victim's family, the Cui family, did not show any intention to avenge the dead head after the head of the family died suddenly. The whole family was very calm. Many people in the clan expressed their opinions that the bizarre death of Cui Cheng'an's family was their family's business and had little to do with the entire Cui family.
Soon, the entire Cui family held a clan meeting and elected Cui Chengyong, the shopkeeper of Fengxian Pavilion, as the new head of the Cui family. As soon as the new head of the family took office, he said that the Cui family planned to donate money to clear and manage the Nanjiaolai River and restore the maritime transportation channel between Jiaolai River and Jiaozhou Bay.
At this time, Feng Jian had already returned to Huluyan with a lot of harvest! With sufficient food, every household in the Huluyan village set off firecrackers on the New Year's Eve of the Gengwu New Year to celebrate the long-lost peace of the people in this village, and was looking forward to the day of the coming year...
On the New Year of Gengwu, Feng Jian’s family and Su Su family naturally reunited. From Pingdu back to the New Year’s Eve dinner, they still looked cheerful and generous in front of the two old men. When they were alone, they were quiet and restless.
Feng Jian saw it and naturally understood Su Su's mood at this time. The little girl saw that she gave Chen Lilan the "Zi Rui" pendant and the small hairpin, but she didn't give her any jewelry, so she could imagine that she felt disappointed.
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the family sat together to stay up to the New Year. Feng Jian took out two brocade boxes from his arms and gave them to his mother and Su Su's mother as gifts to respect the two elders. The two old men complained that Feng Jian should not spend money indiscriminately, and each took Feng Jian's filial jewelry to look at it.
Feng Jian saw Su Su sitting beside him twisting uneasyly, holding her clothes tightly with both hands, and almost burst into tears in his eyes.
Feng Jian smiled slightly at Su Su and approached Su Su. Su Su turned around and turned his head to look elsewhere.
"Hey, this pair of jade bracelets is the most precious emerald jade bracelet in Fengxian Pavilion. I don't know who to give it to!"
Feng Jian said as he took out a brocade box from his arms. After opening it, he saw a pair of jade bracelets flashing under the gauze lamp, which made people reluctant to look away at first sight.
Su Su was still full of resentment just now. When she saw a pair of green jade bracelets in the brocade box, her resentment was immediately thrown aside. Her bright eyes stared at the jade bracelet without blinking, and she was extremely eager to put the jade bracelet on her wrist immediately.
Feng Jian smiled and picked up a jade bracelet from the brocade box, grabbed Su Su's jade hand, gently put the jade bracelet on her wrist, and then picked up another jade bracelet...
He said, "Silly girl, the first jewelry I bought was this pair of emerald jade bracelets, which I bought for you..."
From the moment Feng Jian put a jade bracelet on Su Su's wrist, Su Su's eyes began to burst into tears. She knew that Feng Jian had not forgotten her. At this time, when Feng Jian said that the first one was to buy a jade bracelet for herself, her heart was even more touched.
She choked and said, "Damn it! Why don't you take it out early? Why do you want to make me feel scared, wow!"
Feng Jian gently wiped the tears from the corner of Su Su's eyes and said gently: "Silly girl, isn't it good to give you a surprise?" He said that, and hugged the girl's delicate body tightly...
The two of them are here to be in love with each other, and the two old men on the side have long been hiding away...
On the first day of the Lunar New Year, leading figures in Huluyan's military, agricultural and commercial affairs came to Feng Jian's house to pay New Year's greetings. For a time, the small wooden house of Feng's family was crowded with people, and many people could only stand in the yard to pay New Year's greetings.
Seeing that the home was receiving the reception, Feng Jian said to Cheng Yousheng, who was waiting on one side with his arms hanging on his back, "Cheng Zi asked everyone to go to the Course House, where the place is big and it is easy to talk about things."
Feng Jian first visited Hu Dadao's residence and greeted him New Year before he came to the Course Hall. When he arrived, he saw that Pan Zhaoying had already ignited a charcoal fire, and the Concise Hall was warm.
In the Huluyan Conference Hall, most of the top figures in Huluyan gathered here. More than a dozen people gathered together and whispered. This group of people was not like ordinary Huluyan farmers who only wanted to eat and drink enough. Many of them were considering the future development prospects of Huluyan.
Leading military figures such as Xu Yannian and Zhao Shougang are considering strengthening the combat capabilities of Zhenshan Camp soldiers in the next year.
Leading figures in agriculture, such as Sun Fang, Qin Huaibao and others, are considering how to improve production methods under the framework of the Mutual Aid Association in the coming year and achieve more grain yields and increase production.
When Feng Jian entered the door, he saw Fan Li standing at the door of the conference hall with a pale face with Cheng Yousheng. He was moved! He could sacrifice his life for himself at the critical moment when the three he chose.
Thinking of Bao Feng's death to save him, he felt even more hatred for Cui Cheng'an, the Cui family. At this time, he didn't know that Cui Cheng'an's family had been killed by Chen Xiaoshan's soldiers who were led by the enemy hunting soldiers!
He took two steps and said with a stern expression: "Fan Li, you are seriously injured, don't wait here, go back and rest immediately! Cheng Zi, go back and rest too!"
Cheng Yousheng grinned and said, "The villain broke his arm two years ago, and he didn't delay going to work in the field. Now he was just shot by a crossbow arrow and injured his skin. What's this small injury? Fan Li's back scapula was shot by a crossbow arrow and bleeding a lot. It's better to go back and rest. The commander can have me here."
Feng Jian also said: "Fan Li will recover from his injuries when he goes back. Your position will inevitably be around me in the future. Cheng Zi, you are responsible for sending Fan Li back!"
Fan Li hurriedly said: "It's like a villain going back by himself, don't let Cheng Zi run away more!"
Watching Fan Li leave, Feng Jian and Cheng Yousheng enter the meeting hall one by one.
As soon as he entered the door, he glanced at him and said the first sentence: "This time he went to Pingdu City, the commander of the commander who was assassinated by a killer. It was really heartbreaking for his personal guard Bao Feng to save me!"
Seeing that everyone was full of heavy expressions, he continued, "Don't worry, if you dare to provoke me, Huluyan, then you must be prepared to be slaughtered by me."
After a while, Feng Jian turned around and said, "We will not mention this matter for now. Here, the commander will inform you of the achievements and gains of Pingdu City this time."
Feng Jian said: "Brother Zhang Dalai, the one who gets the most benefits this time is your Military Research Institute. After establishing contact with the government, the iron materials needed for our Huluyan can be purchased directly from outside. You can't complain about insufficient iron materials in the future!"
Zhang Dalai rubbed his nose and said, "The iron supply is sufficient, and his subordinates are beginning to worry that there is not enough craftsmen, and they still cannot quickly fight weapons and weapons."
Feng Jian looked at Pan Zhaoying who was smiling beside him, then looked at Cheng Yousheng with a proud look on his face, and said with a smile: "After the New Year, you, Zhang Dalai, are afraid that you will come to complain about the small area of the Military Research Institute again."
Seeing Zhang Dalai stunned, Cheng Yousheng said first: "After the New Year, there will be about 200 craftsmen in Pingdudu City to come to Huluyan. At that time, you, the head of the Military Research Institute, will be so busy that you can't find Bei."
Zhang Dalai's face suddenly smiled and said, "This is true for the commander!"
Feng Jian nodded and said, "It's true, and they are all craftsmen who make firearms. When these craftsmen go up the mountain, your Military Research Institute will be the military important place in Huluyan. As the supervisor of the Military Research Institute, you have a great responsibility, so you should strictly implement the rules and regulations formulated by the Military Research Institute."
Zhang Dalai was excitedly circling in the spot and finally calmed down his mind: "Some time ago, the commander asked the formulation and regulations of the Military Research Institute in accordance with the content of the "Training Outline" of Zhenshanying. Now it has been formulated and implemented in the Military Research Institute. In addition, in order to improve the efficiency of craftsmen's production, his subordinates implemented the piece-based work method in the Military Research Institute, which has indeed greatly shortened the time for weapons to be manufactured. He felt that no matter how many craftsmen came to the Military Research Institute, as long as they were implemented in accordance with the established regulations and regulations and various reward and punishment measures, there would be no problems."
"Well, after these craftsmen arrive, your military research institute can be divided into two departments, one specializing in the production of weapons, weapons, armor, etc., and the other department mainly produces firearms and ammunition. The craftsmen in the two departments work in different areas and must not be mixed together."
