Until the evening, after Han Yanxuan finished handling his official duties, he ordered: "Go and see, Han An has to call him over." ”

"Yes." Chang Sui put down the ink strip in his hand and quickly went out to arrange for Xiaosheng to call someone.

Han An had just met Han Tongqing and told Han Yanxuan what he had confessed, and he would come over as soon as he heard the summons.

After Han An arrived, Han Yanxuan asked, "Brother Jiang'er, can you send more people to inquire?" What's new here? ”

"Back to the sovereign, yes."

"Yes." Han Yanxuan nodded.

Han An said: "The old slave thinks that Brother Jiang is wrapped in a brocade robe and fell in the snow, judging from the skin on his body, the calluses on his hands and feet, he must be a noble brother from a big family, and he is in a certain family in Lin'an City." ”

Han Yanxuan nodded, this analysis is the same as himself.

So, who is Han Jiang?

Han Yanxuan became more and more interested.

Han An left.

Let's talk about Han Jiang's side.

In the afternoon, Han Jiang was in his courtyard, looked through the newspaper for a while, learned about the environment he was in now, and also had a general understanding of the affairs of the DPRK and China.

Then, Han Jiang spread out the paper and prepared to write the ten deviations of the ancient texts that he had to memorize in high school, and he didn't remember whether it was Zhuangzi or Mencius's "Persuasion of Learning".

Han Jiang wants to write, in addition to calming his mind, he wants to practice calligraphy more.

Since he was in the era of the Southern Song Dynasty, Han Jiang believed that writing was a necessary skill for life.

When Han Jiang wrote it for the second time, Cai took two notebooks and put them in front of Han Jiang, and then stepped aside.

Very quaint copybook, very well preserved.

Han Jiang took a look, this is a good thing, not to mention putting it before he crossed over, it is estimated that if it is genuine in this era, it is also very expensive. Yan Zhenqing and Liu Gongquan's regular script.

Han Jiang wrote very seriously, and he was convinced that if he couldn't even write well in the Southern Song Dynasty, it would definitely be inappropriate.

When it was almost evening, the rules of the Han Mansion were delivered, not a book, but a lot.

Han Jiang picked up the key points and flipped through them, and found that he really underestimated the ancient wealthy, and the brands of the Han Mansion were divided into many levels, starting from the most wooden cards, which were people who were temporarily hired to do chores. The iron, bronze, and silver signs of the servants of the long residence represent the rank of the servants and maids.

The size of the silver medal is the level of a steward, and the head of some small Zhuangzi is just a silver medal.

There are very few gold medals, which are all quite high-level in the house, and they enjoy the real Hanfu family-level treatment. Finally, there are gold and jade brands, there are only four in total.

This rule is clearly written, the first west seat, the chief steward of the house, the big grandmother of the inner court, and the second steward of the house in charge of the outer court.

Subdivided, there are also palm clothes and maids, palm meal maids, palm makeup maids and so on.

Han Jiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this is bigger than the rules of the Rongguo Mansion in the Dream of Red Mansions, and the division is even more detailed. is worthy of being an old magnate of the Great Song Dynasty.

After reading these Han Mansion rules, Han Jiang was already in the second watch.

Ying An sent someone to prepare a supper, and Han Jiang asked Ying to clean up the table and return the rules of the house.

Besides, Han Yanxuan is here, and he also arranges people to prepare supper.

At this time, Han An, the second steward, came in and stood beside him with his hands down, and asked the inferior servants to retreat away, Han Yanxuan took the tea bowl sent by Chang Sui and asked, "What is Brother Jiang doing?" ”

"Back to the lord's words, I have been practicing calligraphy all afternoon, reading the newspaper, reading the rules of the house, I haven't spoken to anyone, but occasionally standing by the window and looking out of the window in a daze, listening to the color girl, it seems that she has chanted a poem about snow, and her voice is too small to hear clearly."

"Also, Miss Cai took two copies of the past, both of which are ancient and genuine."

Han Yanxuan really didn't take it seriously, there were too many at home, so many that he didn't know how many, he wasn't a real scribe, and he didn't want to be a writer.

Han Yanxuan was concerned about whether Han Jiang was taken care of, so he asked, "There is nothing wrong with the meal?" ”

"Don't dare to make mistakes, everything is set according to the standards of the same level of VIPs coming to the house to dine."

"How's your appetite?"

Han An replied: "Miss Cai said, it looks like it is hard to swallow, but there is not a grain of rice or meat left in the meal. After eating, Brother Jiang stacked the plates one by one and put the dishes and chopsticks on the empty plates. Also, as far as Cai Girl observed, Brother Jiang didn't seem to like greasy meat. ”

"Yes."

Han Yanxuan said: "I am still young, and I have something in my heart, so I naturally have no appetite. But it's also outstanding, he understands that he must eat, and he doesn't even leave the dishes he doesn't like, because if he doesn't eat, he won't have the strength to force himself to eat. ”

Han An also said: "Lord, from this point of view, this Jiang'er's patience is really amazing. ”

Han Yanxuan nodded slightly.

Han An said again: "Lord, the government sent someone to investigate, and my uncle's family also sent some news, but there are some results." ”

"Tell me about it."

Han Yanxuan put down the tea bowl and sat up straight.

汉安 says:

"This morning, there are three brothers who can be found in Lin'an City who have not returned home. They are the fourth son of Hu Shilang of the Chengnan Military Department, the second son of Chengnan School Shulang, and the eldest son of Chengdong Zhenanhou. The small one sent someone to inspect it, and the clothes used in the robe were rewarded by the palace, and ordinary people were not qualified to use it if they had money. Therefore, whether there is anyone in the family of officials below the sixth grade, the merchant family, has not returned, and the small ones have not been checked. There are only these three that meet the age group. ”

Han Yanxuan nodded, he was quite satisfied with this answer.

Han An is still so reliable.

At this time, a blue-clothed servant stopped outside the door, and Han An retreated to the door and came back after asking a few words.

"My lord, the people we sent out will report it. The school bookkeeper's family did not return to the Qinglou, and now the people are still there. Last night, the temple caught fire, burning some beggars and homeless people, and my mother's uncle sent someone to tell him that two unusual corpses had been found in Lin'an Mansion. One is the second steward of Zhen'an Houfu, and the other is his wife. ”

Han Yanxuan, who was listening to the report with his eyes closed, opened his eyes violently: "Can you be sure?" ”

"The Lord, I have sent someone to Zhen'an Houfu to investigate, and secretly investigate. The younger one also knew that the second steward of the Zhen'an Houfu and his wife were brought by the deceased marquis's eldest lady's mother's family. ”

Han An was about to say something again, but Han Yanxuan waved his hand to signal Han An to stop.

Han Yanxuan is a five-grade in the court, but he is the real power and knows the door. This official was in charge of the court meeting, supervised the etiquette, and was also in charge of the uploading and distribution of official documents between the court and China. This official position has always been held by relatives and nobles.

Who is Zhen'an Hou Han Yanxuan naturally knows, although there is no intersection, but he also knows some things.

Zhen'an Hou's surname is Li, who died of illness in office, and is a former Yangzhou defense envoy.

At this time, Yangzhou was the front line of the Song and Jin Dynasty, and part of Yangzhou was on the map of the Jin Kingdom, and more importantly, there were only 500 miles in a straight line from Yangzhou to Lin'an Prefecture, and it would not be more than 700 miles to cross the river and detour.
