Fish swimming around the world

Mr. Jiang's New Year holiday finally kicked off.

Of course, in addition to studying delicious and fun things every day, there is another major pleasure, which is to prepare for the New Year.

Various snacks, new clothes, fireworks, couplets, paper-cuts, chickens, ducks, fish and other New Year goods are being prepared one after another.

With the resources of Fanrenju, there are really specialties from all over the world, and many things have been delivered half a year ago.

Jiang Fan also plans to have a big New Year this year, including at least three major banquets.

The first one, of course, is a family banquet. During the New Year, no matter how big the banquet is, it is not bigger than the family banquet. This is a complex.

The second one is the banquet of the royal palace. In the name of the royal palace, it is natural to imagine that it is a banquet for Jiang Fan to entertain all his family servants and subordinates.

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

At the suggestion of Ba Qing and others, and when Prime Minister Zhang felt it was necessary, Jiang Fan decided to hold this big banquet. It took more than four months to prepare.

The third event was the Qin State Banquet. Yes, now the empress officially issued an order to position the New Year Festival as one of the most important festivals in Qin State, and stipulated that the New Year Festival would be used as a year-by-year increase, and the whole country would rest for ten days during the New Year Festival. At the same time, the national year-end inventory was changed from before the autumn sacrifice to before the New Year Festival. Then, the people would naturally make many corresponding changes.

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

So, in order to celebrate this event, the empress specially ordered Fanrenju to host the first New Year State Banquet. This was originally a political task, but Jiang Fan was happy to accept the order. After all, it was initiated by himself, and finally the country promoted the day that he had always missed.

Of course, such a large banquet has very high specifications and requirements, so from the day when the empress issued the order, Fanrenju had already started preparations under the leadership of Gu Beiyan, and with the cooperation of Zhao Gao, who was thorough in everything, Jiang Fan didn't need to worry about it.

These three banquets were really big jobs, so Gu Beiyan only had a barbecue with Jiang Fan alone the night before and had no time to play with everyone. Moreover, when he met Jiang Fan, he lowered his head and dodged, in a hurry.

Of course, the only people who could play with Jiang Fan were usually Lin Nanyan, Tian Luoyu, Xiao Beibei, Xiao Pixiu and other idle people who didn't grow up, and most of the others were dragged away by Gu Beiyan to work.

Luan Feifei and Yun Fuyao were not spared. Because of Lin Nanyan's unreliability, Luan Feifei was responsible for the preparation of the New Year's Eve party. And Yun Fuyao became Gu Beiyan's deputy, supervising the work everywhere.

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

Regardless of her, Gu Beiyan didn't care at all and still gave orders. But unknowingly, Hathaway actually integrated into this atmosphere a little. Everyone worked together during the day and sat together to eat and discuss at night. That strange sense of harmony made her feel inexplicably comfortable.

As a foreigner, Prince Dulun enjoyed it very much. He knew that this was the last New Year he would spend in Mortal Residence for a long, long time in the future, or maybe... it might be the last one.

Therefore, he worked particularly hard and rushed to do all the heavy and tiring work, which made Mother Wang feel a little distressed.

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

Someone had seen it with their own eyes, because after a day's work, Gu Beiyan gave him a roast chicken and a pot of good wine, and then casually said: "Thank you for your hard work." This guy actually burst into tears and said that the wind and sand squinted his eyes. It was inevitable that Tian Luoyu laughed at him for a while, but after the laughter, he also gave him a string of his own candied haws.

No one knew that the prince cried a lot that night. Finally, he took out the monthly salary he had received in Fanrenju over the years. Although his savings were not much, he counted them one by one many times, and finally hid them in a wooden box with great care. He also locked it and checked it several times. After confirming that it was locked, he hugged her and fell asleep...

——

The good days lasted for three days. During these days, Mr. Jiang didn't care about anything. He just relaxed and entertained himself. How could he describe his life in one word?

After that day, he announced that he would take a holiday in a high-profile manner. It was very good. No one came to visit him. I don't know if it was tacitly understood or everyone wanted him to relax. No one came to visit him. Almost no serious business was brought to him.

There is hope. Mr. Jiang felt that it was very hopeful to spend this New Year holiday well.

The three days of happy time passed in a flash. On the fourth day, Mr. Jiang got up early in the morning and stretched himself in the fresh cold air. Just when he was about to think about what to do today, he saw Long Si rushing over and told him that there was an unexpected visitor.

Originally, Mr. Jiang closed the door to refuse visitors, but he really had to see this person.

The little butcher, Gao Rong.

First visit to the mansion.

The arrival of this killing god instantly lowered the temperature of the mortal residence by ten degrees.

Jiang Fan couldn't bear to see him ruin the atmosphere, so he called him to the reception room.

Gao Rong didn't sit down either, and said, "Meet Feng Chen at Taiji Temple in three days."

Jiang Fan was a little surprised: "Feng Chen is going to Qin publicly?"

Gao Rong nodded: "The letter has been sent to the court today."

Jiang Fan pinched his chin, it was quite high-profile, and it was not easy for Jiang Fan to make trouble for such an open meeting.

"Have you thought of the conditions?"

Gao Rong said: "Announce to the world, dismiss the Qin State's secret court inspector, and Yangdu will be without stars."

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

First of all, there are five supervisory envoys of the Feng family, who travel to the five countries and are known to the whole world. Even if they are officially dismissed, they may not be withdrawn secretly. Secondly, Yangdu is one of the capitals of the Five Kingdoms and is the place that the Feng family pays the most attention to. There must be two to three thousand Xingluo Shao lurking in Yangdu. Who knows if they will seriously take everyone 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 the Great Qin Dynasty are definitely no losers. The Empress has 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. At that time, as long as you compare it, you will know whether the secret government has acted as promised. If the agreement 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, so it would be feasible to cut down Yang Du Xingluo first.

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

"Only a million taels? Not sincere enough, but forget it, these five hundred people will have their faces tattooed, and they will be expelled together with their families, and they will not be allowed to enter Qin for life."

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

Gao Rong then revealed his purpose, 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.

"Not entirely, there is the Crown Princess."

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

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 pondered 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.

At three quarters past noon, isn’t that the time for beheading? Jiang Fan was a little amused. Feng Chen chose this time, and it was obvious that he would kill himself sooner or later.
