Chapter 249 Promoted to general, wants to set up a factory

The old lady cheered up and looked out the door.

The eldest maid, Liu Yun, trotted over, panting heavily, and said, "Many soldiers from Yuanfeng County have returned and are registering at the county government office. Someone came to send a letter saying that they saw the Seventh Young Master and the others."

Seventh Young Master and the others?It means that more than one person has returned.The old lady was overjoyed: "Let's go to the front yard, and they will see it as soon as they come back."

Huaishan and Ruhui had just arrived at the Mercy Hospital at this time, when they saw the crowd coming out, they immediately followed them out.

Chen Fan walked to Huai Shan's side: "I heard that Seventh Brother and the others are back."

Huai Shan had a smile on her face: "We heard some rumors along the way, but we're not sure. It's just right to meet the brothers in the front yard."

When they arrived at the front yard, many members of the Liu family had already gathered there, talking about whether they had all returned.

When the Liu family got the news, they sent a carriage there.Everyone waited for nearly half an hour before they saw a carriage stop in front of the door, and one, two, five boys came down.

five?A total of seven sons from the Liu family went out.

As soon as the five people entered the courtyard, they knelt down and kowtowed, and the crowd dispersed one after another.

"Grandmother!" As soon as the voice came out, the old lady burst into tears: "Okay, okay, okay, just come back."

Next, the father, uncle and uncle shouted for a while, and then the mother, aunt, aunt, and several elders helped each other and helped them up.

A servant brought towels and hot water, and they washed their faces and hands, and sat down in the main room.

The old lady said: "Let's get to know each other first, the eighth Liu Qi'an, the tenth Liu Zhengfu, the eleventh Liu Huaiding, the tenth thirty-fourth Liu Jianbei and Liu Jianxi."

Chen Fan and the others called brother.

"This is the Lord of Changping who has just been conferred by the Holy Majesty. In name, she is the eldest wife's distant niece." The old lady continued to introduce.

The five of them were very surprised, Lord Changping?
They all saluted together: "I have met the Lord of the Township." Chen Fan blessed him to return the salute.

"This is Xiang Jun's husband, Young Master Zhang, younger brother Chen Zhongliang, younger sisters Chen Yue and Chen Ya."

Everyone greeted each other.

As soon as the introduction was over, the old lady eagerly asked about the situation of the other two.

Liu Huaiding smiled: "Don't worry, grandma, fifth brother and seventh brother are fine. Fifth brother has been promoted to the fifth rank General Ningyuan, and is still stationed in the frontier, so he can't come back for the time being. Seventh brother is a sixth rank Zhenwei captain, and he also stays in the frontier .”

Everyone in the room was smiling.

"Why was there no news before?" Elder Liu asked suspiciously.

"In the beginning, there were no official titles, but a few people became centurions and thousands of commanders. Later, General Hussars led an army thousands of miles to attack, and the team of the fifth brother and seventh brother also joined. General Hussars defeated the enemy army and went back first. Now, the frontier will continue to be stationed and the team will be adjusted, and the appointment was only issued not long ago." Liu Huaiding said.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

"Are they injured? Are you injured?" the old lady asked.

Liu Huaiding smiled: "I have suffered some minor injuries, but it's nothing serious."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief again.

"Do you have a job?" The old lady continued to ask.

"We are all casual jobs. Ninth-rank Huaihua halberd commanders, Guide sweeping halberd commanders, etc., have no real jobs. After returning to the hometown, we still have some salary, so we still have to find something to do by ourselves."

"Grandmother is the happiest when you are back. They have been promoted to official positions, but they also want to stay at the border to endure hardships. Can the family go over?"

"Of course." Liu Huaiding nodded, "It's just that very few family members go to the frontier, and the generals serving in the capital will be with their families."

That's right, the General's Mansion and Captain's Mansion in the capital is very imposing, and going to the border is like blowing sand.

Chen Fan glanced at Zhang Ci, and he nodded slightly.

Not long after, Mo Jian came and brought a box in with someone.

Chen Fan smiled and looked at the five people: "Today coincides with the return of the five brothers, a little gift, to add joy to the brothers."

Mo Jian opened the box, saluted and retreated.

The box contains silk and jade.

The five people froze for a moment, and expressed their gratitude to Chen Fan for writing the editorial.

Liu Qi'an looked at the items in the box, and then looked at the people on the field, a little hesitant.

"Don't worry about our old bones, you just keep them for yourself. These materials are available for men and women, and they are just right for your mother and daughter-in-law."

The five smiled sheepishly.

"Don't hesitate, old man, hurry up and choose some materials for your aunt and daughter-in-law." The old lady urged.

The old eighth Liu Qi'an chose a piece of brocade and a piece of jade, and sent them to Aunt Zhao: "Auntie, I made you worry."

Aunt Zhao smiled, but tears rolled down her face: "My son has suffered."

He also picked a horse for his daughter-in-law Xu, and the two exchanged a few words.

The other four also picked their own gifts.Ten 34 are twins, and Aunt Zhang got a double, looking at the old lady shyly.

The old lady shook her hand: "It's all yours. They haven't married a daughter-in-law yet, and you haven't received a daughter-in-law's share either."

Then, they each chose their own material.The ones left in the box are for Liu Wu and Liu Qi.Master Liu said that he would send someone to take them there.

The old lady looked at Chen Fan: "Just to tell girl Chen that we hold a banquet in Su Garden on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, and it will be even more lively when they come back."

Chen Fan smiled and nodded: "The scale of the banquet will be bigger, and we will come if we are free."

She looked at Huai Shan and Ru Hui: "We live in Zhang Zhai today, are you free to come over and play?"

Huaishan smiled: "It will pass when you find time."

After leaving Liu's house, they went to the bookstore.There are many people in the bookstore, and the picture-version literacy books launched in the store are very popular.Workers are printing books in the backyard.

"There will be more and more people doing this job in the future. How many of those copying books to make a living can change their methods in time?" Chen Fan sat down in the wing room, a little worried.

"It depends on their mentality and thinking. A group of children in your family are learning seal carving, and they should learn it too. Books will be cheaper in the future, and their lives will not be so tight. They don't have to copy books to make money." Zhang Ci comforts her.

Chen Fan nodded: "It is a big deal to make more paper and lower the price of paper."

"This tone belongs to the scholar-bureaucrats. It is our tone to make more paper and make more money." Zhang Ci joked.

"Well, those trees need to be picked, which ones are suitable for weaving and which ones are suitable for papermaking, and set up a paper mill and a textile factory together."

Zhang Ci rubbed her hair vigorously: "Now you are always not forgetting to expand the scale of making money."

Chen Fan immediately buried his head in her chest: "Will you comb it for me?"

Zhang Ci turned around and closed the door, and really picked up the comb: "Maybe I can do a new type of hair bun."

It's really a new type of bun, and it can't be tied up.Chen Fan laughed, and Zhang Ci embarrassedly asked the maid to come in and comb his hair.

The addition of topped noodles at the snack bar sparked a wave of enthusiasm, prompting other noodle soup restaurants to follow suit.

Han was a little anxious: "Will this affect our store's business?"

Chen Fan smiled: "If 2000 people want to eat noodles every day, will you let them all come to our store?"

Han shook her head subconsciously: "No, there are too many people to be busy, and it will make other people unhappy if they crowd into our store."

"That's it. If everyone can do business, the entire Yuanfeng County will be more lively. If it can be made into a street of noodle restaurants, a street of jewelry, and a street of cloth, it will also be a feature. Our store can maintain the standard It would be great to attract more customers.”

Han Shi suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief, Zhang Ci couldn't help but look at her more.
