Jiang Fan suddenly realized that Taiyue probably couldn't see a dynasty so powerful that he had no right to speak, so he started to tinker with the so-called secret dynasty. On the surface, it seemed to be a fair supervision, but to put it bluntly, it was used to restrict the bright and clear dynasty. Of court.
"The identities of the people in the An Dynasty in the Ming Court are very secretive, but the An Dynasty Imperial Court is open and upright. You can see the owner of the An Dynasty, and you can also see the six generals of the South Dipper. These people are not secretive. Even Because of An Chao’s deeds, he was once worshiped and worshiped by people all over the world.”
Jiang Fan nodded. According to Yaoguang, Anchao is like a shadow guard in Taiyue's hands. Everyone knows that this organization exists, but they don't know where their power is hidden. It's just that Taiyue played a higher role, putting the Feng family and Nan Douliu in the light, doing secret things openly, so that no one can find fault.
Jiang Fan couldn't help but sigh to himself, as he was the Lord of Bliss, and Bliss's predecessor was the Shadow Guard, so he was in natural opposition to the Feng family, so it was no wonder that he had to go against the odds when it came to finding a wife.
But I never expected that the Feng family seemed to be making a comeback, and even accepted people like Gao Rong as disciples. And judging from Gao Rong's attitude just now, it seems that they are still going to do it openly. Is this a re-emergence through the troubled times of the Five Kingdoms?
Since he didn't shy away from it, the empress must know it. What did she think about this matter?
This world is really chaotic...
While he was thinking about it, the sloppy scholar was already staggeringly sipping his wine and falling into a state of confusion.
I originally wanted to ask more questions, but it seems that there is basically no chance. Jiang Fan shook his head and asked someone to take him out. He didn't reply at all to Meng Yi's noisy request for his master to meet the key members of Xiaoyao Society.
Why not, let's see how far Xiaoyao Club can go.
After gathering his thoughts, Jiang Fan began to think about Gao Rong's marriage.
Regarding this marriage, the Qin court had mixed reactions.
Mainly because of the disputes over the positions of both parties.
After all, Gao Rong is also the empress's wife, and it is hard for people to believe that Jieyu has betrayed the Supreme Emperor.
Therefore, the vast majority are objections.
Jieyu had to make a choice. This kind of thing cannot be vacillated, there is no possibility of centering. For her own sake and for Gao Rong's sake, she must choose.
Although this choice is likely to bring her many risks.
As for Gao Rong, Jiang Fan also admired him very much. He was risking the disapproval of the world. If he married Jieyu, he would most likely be abandoned or marginalized by the court.
But he was also realizing that the Gao family was indeed loyal to the empress. If Gao Rong dared to make this choice and Gao Qi dared to agree, it showed that their hearts were pure and they had nothing to fear.
And at this wedding, as Jieyu's nominal brother and de facto father, will the Supreme Emperor show up...
Jiang Fan narrowed his eyes.
——
Mr. Jiang is a person who attaches great importance to the present. Putting Gao Rong's marriage aside for the time being, the most important thing for him is the New Year, the only festival that belongs to him in this world.
It's not surprising to say that he is the only one. He doesn't even have a birthday in this world. Sometimes I think about it, this may be one of the reasons why he has always lacked a sense of belonging.
Ever since, Mr. Jiang enthusiastically devoted himself to the great cause of New Year decorations for ordinary people.
Just like last year, we need to prepare for the gala program, post couplets, hang lanterns, prepare fireworks, firecrackers, food and wine.
The only difference is that this year the commander-in-chief has become Dayan Butler. He has been left out for so long and has not been able to handle many things. Therefore, Mr. Jiang is just a handyman.
Fortunately, although Butler Dayan was once a dead soldier and was not good at trivial matters, he is still attentive. Since she entered the mortal world, she no longer had to do anything else, so she focused all her thoughts on this home. Well-organized command. As for the small notebook in her hand, it was obviously compiled and recorded according to last year.
Her appearance is quite interesting to Young Master Jiang. If she were paired with a dark suit and black-rimmed glasses, she would look like a cold female boss. Well, you also need a pair of high heels, although Yanzi is already tall enough...
Amid Young Master Jiang's bad taste, Butler Gu worked hard for two days and finally made all preparations.
The only new addition today is a delicacy created by Mr. Jiang called dumplings. According to Wang Ye, the name of the dumplings is homophonic to Jiaozi, which means a prosperous family, saying goodbye to the old and welcoming the new. Therefore, it is wrong not to eat dumplings during the Chinese New Year.
The thin dough is wrapped with various fillings, wrapped in the shape of an ear, and simply boiled in water to make it fragrant. Dip it in some sauce mixed with minced garlic, it's amazing.
Before putting down the dumplings, Master Jiang excitedly set off two large bundles of firecrackers. Last year it was firecrackers, but now it has been updated. A large bunch of red new firecrackers were lit by Mr. Jiang, and they crackled very lively. Sister Jieyuhua covered her ears and was so frightened that she kept yelping.
The empress, who had come to attend the New Year Festival, looked at the series of fires in front of her and her nose twitched slightly. The smell of saltpeter and sulfur that she had smelled in the air was very strong, making her eyes look a little deeper.
The empress was actually very considerate this time, and ordered the saint and the old commander to come to the New Year Festival. This moved Mr. Jiang very much, but he didn't dare to touch the big baby Fuyao.
On the other hand, Baby Fuyao, Lao Shuai, Luan Feifei, slovenly scholar Yaoguang and others who came to the palace for the first time to celebrate the New Year were looking at everything new, and they almost ignored the existence of the empress when they got excited.
Fortunately, the empress had the good sense to hide in the study throughout the day. In fact, Jiang Fan's three-story study was much more attractive to her than this unknown New Year's Day.
In particular, the manuscript of "The Book of Changes" that Jiang Fan was writing for her master Tianjizi made her even more obsessed. The book "Essential Art of Qi Min" that she had just written a few articles frightened her even more, and she almost put Jiang Fan on the spot. I was tied up to explain, but fortunately I finally remembered that someone was going to celebrate the festival, so I had to calm down.
But the slender jade fingers that kept tapping on the table clearly showed that its owner was extremely unhappy because he had not heard about such a major event in advance.
Dinners and evening parties are the most important part. In this part, everyone in the palace is equal, not just everyone, but even dogs and fish are on the table.
The old guy didn't know what he was thinking, so he hung a red flower around Big Wolf's neck, like a groom's dog. Jiang Xiaoyu was also put in a glazed jar and carried into the Plum Blossom Hall to watch the fun.
With the experience from last year, everyone in the mortal world was well prepared and no longer embarrassed. Their performances had improved a lot. Only the presence of the empress made them somewhat uncomfortable. However, after two or three shows, Meng Lao Shuai took the lead in making noises. , the atmosphere finally relaxed completely.
Even the old guy forced a dog partner to perform a trick. Whether the trick was good or not is another matter. The combination of one person and one dog was really funny, and the empress couldn't help laughing.
In fact, the old guy has the most say on this so-called New Year's Day. After all, he has lived with Jiang Fan for more than ten years and knows his inexplicable habits very well. Many of the deficiencies in Gu Beiyan's arrangements were actually made up for by the old guy.
The unprepared Meng Laoshuai was also pushed into the position, and finally he had to perform a set of punches in public.
The laughter never stopped, and the empress felt a little dazed for a moment.
It wasn't until Jiang Fan's voice sounded that she came back to her senses.
