Text Chapter 19 Waiter Shen Yang
Fan Xicheng and Han Laoshan were responsible for finding a house, and for several days, Han Qian took Zhao Kuo, Fan Dahei, and Lin Haizheng to Linjiang Hou's Mansion every day.
Emperor Tianyou has never appointed an attendant to the third prince Yang Yuanpu, Feng Yi and Kong Xirong are still lazy and slack, and Li Chong is "justifiable" to get close to Yang Yuanpu, and actually replaces Chen De to take on the responsibility of guiding Yang Yuanpu to ride and shoot......
Although Han Qian did not chatter to his father about the movements of the court, he believed that these things fell in the eyes of those who cared, and it was impossible for the court to be indifferent.
Maybe Yang Yuanpu has been suppressed in the palace for too long, and when he goes out of the palace, he can breathe some free air, although he is very young, he also shows great interest and persistence in practicing riding and archery.
The Hou Mansion said that there were no designated officials, so there was no other homework to learn, and everyone was immersed in the back garden all day, and Han Qian also took the rare opportunity to practice riding and archery.
When Han Qian was there, Guo Rong was always by Yang Yuanpu's side, and he was more "conscientious" than Chen De, the commander of the guard battalion, and the female officials who had been shocked when they entered the palace were all in the back house on weekdays, and only occasionally showed their faces in the back garden or front yard.
After Han Qian entered the Hou Mansion, he didn't even have a chance to talk to the female official named "Song Xin", who had been ordered by the Empress Xu family very early on, and took care of the daily life by the side of Mrs. Wang and the third prince.
The attitude of the third prince Yang Yuanpu towards him is no different from that of Feng Yi and Kong Xirong, and Han Qian naturally will not stick to it, and provoke the suspicion of Guo Rong and Song Xin for no reason.
Li Pu, Marquis of Xinchang, and Li Yu, the king of Zhedong County, are half-brothers, they are not afraid of the suppression of Anning Palace, Han Qian still has to keep a low profile as much as possible to avoid causing unwarranted disasters to his father.
The days of calm lasted until the end of September, when Han Qian took Zhao Kuo, Fan Dahei, and Lin Haizheng to the Hou Mansion early in the morning, and saw Guo Rong and Chen De commanding the guards and chamberlains busy in the front yard, I don't know if there are any important people coming over in the past two days.
"The emperor summoned Shen Yang, a bachelor, in the Wenying Hall yesterday, and wanted him to serve as a waiter in the Linjiang Marquis Mansion, but Shen Yang, the old horseman, said in front of the emperor that he had been out of breath for several months, and it was difficult to do his job, and he wanted the emperor to choose another master, and was severely reprimanded by the emperor in the Wenying Palace, and the court issued an order to Shen Yang to enter the Hou Mansion two days later to teach the three princes' lessons, and if he did not obey, he would be punished for resisting the decree......"
Han Qian was puzzled, Feng Yi didn't know where to get through, attached it to Han Qian's ear, and told Han Qian the gossip he had heard.
Han Qian listened to Feng Yi talk about what happened in the palace yesterday, but he glanced at Feng Yi suspiciously, thinking about what happened in the palace yesterday, and he didn't know where he knew so much about it.
Feng Wenlan and Kong Zhou, like his father Han Daoxun, have no warm and ambiguous relationship with the prince and the ministers of the Xinwang lineage, at least on the surface, and it is precisely because of this that he, Feng Yi and Kong Xirong will be singled out to serve as the prince's companion.
"The household department is not enough to pay the officials, my father was summoned by the emperor to Wenying Hall yesterday to ask for advice, and he happened to see this scene." Feng Yi said without concealment.
Han Qian didn't have a deep impression of Feng Wenlan, he had met twice, but he only remembered that he always looked cold and unsmiling, it was hard to imagine that he would so casually talk about what happened in the palace as an anecdote to his son who was not very interesting.
Shen Yang will not officially enter the mansion until tomorrow to teach the class, and after a day of mixing in the Hou Mansion, Han Qian returned to the house, his father Han Daoxun also came back from the official office after dark, but his eyes could not hide the tiredness, and Han Qian didn't know what was confusing his father.
In order to regain his father's trust and attention, Han Qian would not ask much about his father's affairs in the official office, but every night during the meal, he would tell all the big and small things that happened in the Linjiang Marquis Mansion.
On the bright side, Empress Xu and Li Yu, the king of Jiangdong County, and Li Pu, the Marquis of Xinchang, have been involved, and the seemingly small Linjiang Marquis Mansion can also be said to be surging undercurrents at this time, and the slightest disturbance is enough to make people speculate.
Emperor Tianyou forced Shen Yang to serve as a chamberlain in the Hou Mansion, which was not a trivial matter in the eyes of the ministers of the court with a sensitive sense of smell; However, in Han Qian's opinion, what happened in Wenyingdian yesterday was spread through Feng Wenlan's mouth, which was even more intriguing.
“…… What do you think about this? Han Daoxun took time every day to listen to Han Qian talk about what happened in the Linjiang Marquis Mansion, and saw that he was more concerned about the details of Feng Yi's words, and thought that Feng Wenlan was deliberately spreading news that was unfavorable to the three princes, so he asked with interest.
"The Feng family has nothing to do with the crown prince and King Xin, in the end, it is nothing more than who is filial to whom on the throne, and there is no need to get involved in these rights and wrongs. And if things have always been as my father said at the beginning, His Royal Highness the Third Prince has little hope for the throne, and I will wait for His Royal Highness the Third Prince to accompany him, and it will not have any impact in the future, let alone the ups and downs of the Feng family and the Han family, but the bad thing is on Li Chong - I think my father also feels quite tricky at this time? Han Qian said.
"......" Hearing Han Qian say this, Han Daoxun couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing his father Han Daoxun like this, Han Qian knew that his judgment was right.
The conspiracy of the late Red Mansion with the Marquis of Xinchang, the princess Wang and others misled the ministers of the court and the central government to think that Li Yu, the king of eastern Zhejiang, was involved in this matter, which to a certain extent changed the expectations of the government and the opposition that the third prince Yang Yuanpu would win the throne.
In the past, Empress Xu and the prince's family may have sent Guo Rong, Song Xin and others to keep an eye on the third prince Yang Yuanpu, and there was no need for any superfluous actions, but Li Yu, the king of Zhedong County, was involved, and the direction of the generals and ministers in the court changed, how could the people of Empress Xu and the prince's family continue to stand still?
At this time, Feng Wenlan made these small actions, although he was a little impatient, but he mainly wanted to clear up the involvement of the Feng family with the Marquis of Linjiang, and avoid the Feng family being beaten by Empress Xu and the prince's family.
This also shows that Li Yu, the king of Zhedong County, was involved in this matter, which changed his expectations to a certain extent, but Feng Wenlan still believed that the third prince Yang Yuanpu had little hope of ascending to the throne.
"The Feng family can't wait to clear up the relationship, what does my father want to do?" Han Qian asked.
"Just have a clear conscience, don't worry too much, we can just ...... change everything," Han Do-hoon said.
Han Qian stared at the azure wine cup in front of him, thinking to himself what kind of countermeasure this was?
It's just that he can't guess what his father is thinking at this time, and it's inconvenient to say anything.
…………
…………
At this time, Fan Xicheng and Han Laoshan walked in and reported on the vacant house near Lanting Lane in the past few days.
"......" Han Qian has returned to the house earlier than his father in the past few days, but Fan Xicheng and Han Laoshan did not mention this matter when they met him, he also thought that the people below were slow to do things, Fan Xicheng and Han Laoshan had not yet investigated the vacant house nearby, but he did not expect that in the eyes of Fan Xicheng and Han Laoshan, he was only a "young master", and his father Han Daoxun was the head of this house.
Han Qian glanced at Fan Xicheng and Han Laoshan coldly, and sat aside to listen to them talk about the situation of the houses in the nearby streets and alleys.
Lanting Lane is located in the southern city.
Unlike the northern city, where the imperial city is located, where most of the people live in the princes, the southern city is mostly inhabited by poor and poor commoners.
Even after Emperor Tianyou set the capital of Jinling, there were many wealthy families who moved in, but because of the severe criminal law of Emperor Tianyou, those who committed a slight crime and committed adultery were either exiled to confiscate the army or beheaded, coupled with the extremely heavy taxes in the city, and the harsh demand, resulting in a lot of bankrupt people in the city, and there were still many vacant houses for sale in the southern city.
The more dilapidated houses are also very cheap.
Fan Xicheng and Han Laoshan ran for a few days, and found out all the houses that could be sold in Nancheng, there were almost hundreds, and they were waiting for Han Daoxun to set the rules.
Transferring some of the soldiers to the city, the house does not need to be luxurious, and the simple house of the single family in the south city is also very cheap, 20,000 or 30,000 yuan can buy a courtyard with a size of half an acre, and the house price of the capital flying to the sky in the dream world cannot be compared at all.
Han Daoxun's official income is limited, plus the harvest of the villa, for the food and clothing of the big mansion, all of which are tight, Han Qian got twelve cakes of gold from the Han Ji bronze shop, which can be used to buy five or six small mansions.
"Which ones to buy, Qian'er, you decide." Han Daoxun handed over the decision to Han Qian, which also meant to take the school examination.
Han Qian asked Fan Dahei to go to his room to bring a pen and paper to outline the nearby streets and alleys, and asked Fan Xicheng and Han Laoshan to mark the vacant houses for sale in several nearby alleys, and then sketched out the six houses he liked with a red pen and handed them to Han Laoshan and Fan Xicheng, saying:
"Uncle Han, Master Fan, tell me about the situation of these courtyards......
Fan Xicheng took it, and saw that the young master Han Qian chose one at the head and end of Lanting Lane, two on the left and right side of the mountain lane, and two on the left and right of Wuli Lane, and the six houses happened to enclose the houses here.
If there is something going on outside, the people who live in these six houses can be the first to hear it, and they can gather here as quickly as possible.
The benefits of this, after sketching it out with pen and paper, are clear at a glance, and there is no need to explain more.
Fan Xicheng has been by Han Daoxun's side for many years, and he knows that the head of the family is known to be a good copier outside, but he didn't expect that the young master Han Qian has cultivated himself in the past two months, but he also has the temperament of the head of the family to plan three or four points, and looking up at the eyes of the head of the family, Han Daoxun, he does have some praise for the young master Han Qian......
The six houses are scattered in the three adjacent alleys of Lanting, Gushan, and Wuli, which surround the main house and control the entrance and exit of the lanes.
After seeing the praise in his father Han Daoxun's eyes, after learning more about the information of these six houses, Han Qian directly decided how to distribute these six houses after they were bought.
There are two houses at the end of Lanting Lane, and the one at the end of the lane, Han Qian plans to share with Zhao Kuo and a lonely widow soldier who has no family.
Han Qian didn't know what kind of secret Zhao Kuo was hiding, and he would usually take him to the Linjiang Marquis Mansion to Yingmao, but he didn't want to return to the mansion, and he also lived under Zhao Kuo's surveillance.
In that case, he would feel a kind of pressure psychologically inexplicably, asking Zhao Kuo to move out and live, as long as he could summon him.
The one at the head of Lanting Alley, Han Qian plans to live for Fan Xicheng and Fan Dahei's father and son.
Lin Haizheng has a mother, two younger sisters, a widowed sister-in-law and a young nephew who is only twelve or thirteen years old, and it is not suitable for him to stay in the villa to engage in heavy physical work, so Han Qian gave Lin Haizheng a two-entry house in Wuli Lane.
There are also two houses located in the backing alley behind the mansion, and even ladders are prepared in the courtyards on both sides, only need to climb two gables, and you can directly enter the main house, and Han Qian plans to place six small families to live in.
And Han Laoshan and his wife and the maidservant Qingyun continued to live in the mansion with Han Daoxun and Han Qian.
There is also a three-entry house, located at the end of the alley of Wuli Lane, north of the Shitang River leading to the Qiupu River, south of Lin Haizheng's residence, behind is Lanting Lane Zhao Kuo's residence.
This courtyard is not next to other houses, it is relatively close, and you can use a boat to walk the Shitang River into the Qiupu River, lead to the Evening Red Mansion, and even cross the water pass to go out of the city and arrive at the Chishan Lake in the south of the villa......
Fan Xicheng and Han Laoshan glanced at each other, knowing that if it was them, it would not be more reasonable than the arrangement of the young master Han Qian, and he secretly felt that the roots of the young master were not bad, the key was to be able to change his mind and quit bad habits.
"Okay, you can do as Qian'er says." Han Daoxun said conclusively, erasing the last trace of doubt in the hearts of Fan Xicheng and Han Laoshan.
