Carrying AK into Ming Dynasty

Chapter 171 Brother Pingtou's Choice (Fifth Change)

Since the past few days, the streets of the capital have become quite lively.

It's New Year's Eve, and the doors of rich people have put on red lanterns, and even ordinary people have newly cut door stickers on their doors.

The sound of firecrackers was heard from time to time in the alley, and [-] was finally coming to an end.

When Liu Hongjian and his party arrived at the door of the house, it was just dark.

The two big stone lions in the Hou's mansion both had big red colored heads tied on their chests, and two servants stood in front of the gate, and when the master came back, one of them would lead the horse, and the other would go in to announce.

As soon as he entered the door, Liu Delong strolled out of the outer courtyard wrapped in a brocade robe, followed by Niu Dabanai's father Niu Danian.

"My son is back?"

"That's right, Dad, tonight is New Year's Eve, my son is going to have a banquet for some relatives and friends, please trouble Dad to help!" Liu Hongjian stepped forward and said with a smile.

Although this is a trivial matter, he can just send someone to tell Sister Hong in the kitchen.

But Liu Delong has been busy all his life, and he feels weak when he is free.

In the past, apart from going to the yamen to sit and work, he could also play chess with the housekeeper Niu Danian when he came back, but Niu Danian's chess is really bad, it's meaningless to abuse him over and over again.

Liu Delong was also the grandfather of the Hou's Mansion, no one dared to yell at him except Liu Hongjian, these days were really boring.

Liu Hongjian was also speechless, knowing that his father was in a panic, so he simply explained to his father what happened, so that the old man felt that he was not a dispensable person.

After a day of tossing around, Liu Hongjian really felt a little tired only when he reached the inner courtyard.

Sun Xiuxiu sat on the edge of the bed with her belly upright and made clothes for the child in her stomach. Although the family had no shortage of money, Sun Xiuxiu insisted on doing it by herself.

Liu Hongjian lay sprawled on the bed, enjoying the gentle massage from Yang Xue's little hands.

"It's been half a year since my husband went to the Border Gate, so I shouldn't be traveling far next year!" Sun Xiuxiu put down her work and said softly.

Although she understands the principles of serving the imperial court, as a woman, no one would not want her husband to be by her side every day.

Coupled with the fact that there is already a baby in her belly, Sun Xiuxiu is also very worried that her husband will not be by her side on the day the child is born.

"Well, I won't go out. In the last few days, my master won't go anywhere, just stay at home with my two little ladies!" Liu Hongjian took advantage of their unpreparedness, and hugged the two of them, one on the left and one on the right. In my arms, I want to smell a fragrance when I stretch out my mouth

"Master, I haven't had dinner yet! You're messing around again!" Both Yang Xue and Sun Xiuxiu avoided.

……

The three of them chatted in the room for a while, until Xiao Lan called to say that the banquet was ready, and Liu Hongjian just packed his clothes and went out.

In the central hall of the Hou Mansion, candlelight was brightly lit, and several charcoal pots made the room extraordinarily warm.

As soon as Liu Hongjian entered the middle hall, Yan Yingyuan and others stood up to congratulate him, and they all brought congratulatory gifts.

Yan Yingyuan, Chen Mingyu, Feng Dunhou, Chang Yu, Zu Qiuqing, Jin Yiwei Tongzhi Liang Yang, and even Niu Dabangchui also had a place.

These people are all Paoze who have followed him to fight everywhere for a year. Needless to say, the three of Lao Yan, like Chang Yu, are all a few years older than Liu Hongjian, and they handle things safely.

Not to mention Shanxi, even Shanhaiguan may not be able to win this stunned young man.

Several people were sitting by the banquet, waiting for Liu Hongjian's instructions.

Liu Hongjian stood up, picked up the jug, and poured everyone a glass of wine.

"Everyone sit down!" Zu Qiuqing and the others were about the same age as Liu Hongjian, and felt a little uncomfortable for a while and wanted to get up, so don't press Liu Hongjian down.

"This year, you all followed me here and there, you have worked hard!
Fortunately, we were lucky, and Da Ming was also lucky. We helped the emperor to pacify the Northern Territory. Thanks to the grace of heaven, all of you, like this Marquis, already have titles. "

After fighting for a year, except for Niu Dabangchui, the others were all given the title of baron, and Zu Qiuqing and Chang Yu were even given the title of viscount for their meritorious service.

Liu Hongjian poured a round of wine, poured some wine for himself at last, and sat back in his original place.

"But it's not enough. The Ming Dynasty has accumulated evils for a long time, and there are messes everywhere. However, the emperor has a lot of trust in me and has high hopes for me. Next year, I will need you to work hard with me.

For Daming, and for your future, this glass of wine, I respect you!Dry! "

After Liu Hongjian finished speaking, he raised his glass and drank it down, and the rest of them were also very happy.

"It's Chang Yu's ideal to be able to fight in the battlefield. Lord Hou will look after him next year!" Chang Yu poured himself another glass, picked up the wine and drank it clean.

He was originally a hereditary Jinyiwei Qianhu. At the beginning of the year, he made up his mind to give up his enviable position in the eyes of others, and resolutely joined the Wansui Mountain Qianhu Office.

Now that he has been fighting for nearly a year, he is already a viscount, so he made the right bet.

"Thanks to Master Hou for not disrespecting me, giving me and the other four people a place to stand in, but according to Master Hou's words, if the four of us frown, we will not be considered a man!"

Zu Qiuqing, Wang Lang, Xing Shan, and Yue Chengze got up and took their wine cups to swear.

"I, Niu Zhuang... I listen to the master! I did it!" Niu Zhuang originally wanted to express his sincerity like the others, but when he stood up, his mind became a mess.

"Hahahaha..." Everyone laughed.

Yan Yingyuan and the others did not say a word after drinking, Liu Hongjian felt that the three of them were a little strange today.

He took out the bank notes that he had prepared from his waist, each of which was 3000 taels, and distributed them to several people.

"What is Hou Ye doing?" Everyone was surprised.

"It's nothing, I'll give you some money, take it all, and whoever writes the ink will be punished with alcohol!" Liu Hongjian said without doubt.

Although they all had salaries issued by the imperial court, the salaries in the Ming Dynasty were outrageously low, and Liu Hongjian explicitly forbade them from being greedy for ink, although he himself did not lose the emperor's wool.

But if you eat meat, you have to let the brother who follows you drink some soup. For the brother, he has never been a stingy person.

If it wasn't for future plans, he wouldn't go to Chongzhen's wool. Money is enough to spend, how much is enough?

When he arrived in Liangyang, Liu Hongjian paid 3000 taels in addition to a bank note of 10 taels.

Jin Yiwei has 1 brothers, and he will rely on these people to form an intelligence network in the coming year, and Liang Yang has been busy this year and has worked hard, which is what they deserve.

Everyone is not a tweaker, looking left and right, they all accepted this 'blatant' 'bribery money'.

Fortunately, there were no outsiders in the room, otherwise it would be another troublesome matter if the censor officials knew about it.

"My lord, I have something to say about my humble position!" Yan Yingyuan has been hesitant to speak all this time, and only now has he made up his mind.

"Old Yan, how many times have I told you that it's all from my family, whether you are a lowly or not, just say what you want!" Liu Hongjian muttered as he stuffed a chopstick of vegetables into his mouth.

"The three of us have been thinking about it for a long time, and we want to follow General Huang Degong to guard the border in the north!"

The three of Yan Yingyuan stood up, cupped their hands and lowered their heads.

PS: It's a bit miserable, it seems that instant noodles were bought for nothing!I really want to eat this meal, and I am really working hard to write this story well.
