Chapter 344: The Reason for Slamming the Door
Han Jian returned from the inn and did not go back to Dongwangfu directly, but went to Gu Weipan to inquire about the situation of the various families in Luoyang after they migrated to Jiangdu recently.
Gu Weipan is responsible for reception and placement, but the money is allocated from the Dongwang Mansion, the court is short of money, Gu Weipan is difficult to cook without rice, all he can do is to deal with it, as for the specific placement, it has not yet been implemented. This is also the reason why Yang Xiuxiu and others went to Dongwangfu to make trouble later.
When Han Jian saw Gu Weipan, he asked some things first, and Gu Weipan also answered. According to Gu Weipan's idea, since there is not much silver to come now, it is better to let these families raise it themselves, which is in line with Han Jian's original idea.
“…… Luoyang is now a land annex, and most of these old expensive lands are occupied by the new nobles. They were forced to come to the land of my Jiangdu. Han Jian analyzed what he knew these days, "Yang Yu doesn't seem to be hindered by this, but he opens the door to convenience and allows these old nobles of Luoyang to migrate to Jiangdu, which is unreasonable." ”
Gu Weipan nodded and said, "The sudden arrival of so many people has indeed made Jiangdu anxious. ”
Han Jian smiled, in fact, it was not the Dongwang Mansion that was worried, but the people of these Luoyang factions led by Gu Weipan.
"Mrs. Gu, I can only be asked to come over tomorrow to help you with a chore, and in terms of Yulu, the Dongwang Mansion will be in charge, no problem, right?" Before leaving, Han Jian said suddenly.
"Who?" Gu Weipan became cautious, he felt that it might be Han Jian who was going to insert eyeliner into the imperial court.
Han Jian smiled: "It's the county lord of Anping." Today, she took people to make trouble outside the Dongwang Mansion and was stopped by me. But if it can't be properly placed, she will still make trouble. So I told her to let her come to the court to help, and bother Mrs. Gu to make arrangements. ”
"Hmm." When Gu Weipan heard that it was the county lord of Anping, he was relieved.
Others may be the eyeliner of the Dongwang Mansion, and the county lord of Anping is "his own person" in the eyes of the Luoyang faction led by Gu Weipan. After Yang Xiuxiu's family came to Jiangdu, when they had no choice but to come to the door for help, Gu Weipan also asked people to take out some silver and send it to the inn to give Yang Xiuxiu an emergency.
"Wait, you said the county lord of Anping? She...... A female stream, to the court. What kind of errand? Do you want to be a female official for Your Majesty? Gu Weipan agreed very happily at first. But after thinking about it, he realized that something was wrong, and turned to look at Han Jian, who was about to go.
Han Jian said: "Just let her be a handyman." As for the heavy work, you don't need her to do it, but some basic tea and water. Still need to be done. Mrs. Gu didn't care about her identity and didn't arrange work for her. Gu Taifu is an important minister in the court. After all, I didn't treat her badly, did I? ”
Gu Weipan was speechless, his expression was very strange, and his gaze was a little strange when he looked at Han Jian.
He thought to himself. Asking a county lord to come over to do chores is really something you can think of. But hearing Han Jian say this, it seems to be reasonable.
Although Yang Xiuxiu is the lord of Anping, but it is also an outdated nobleman, after the death of the king of Anping County, the palace of Anping County has been much worse than before, if it is not for the lord of Anping County, the palace of Anping County has long declined. Now on the side of the imperial cabinet, there are indeed few people to help, and the outsider Gu Weipan can't use it, and his own people are not qualified to serve tea and water, so he has to find a few guards to help. Gu Weipan also mentioned this matter to Han Jian.
Gu Weipan personally sent Han Jian out, and Han Jian came out just in time to meet Lin Ke, the Shangshu of the East Pavilion.
Originally, the East Pavilion Shangshu was still divided into left and right, but because the official position of the imperial court was streamlined, Lin Ke directly made the East Pavilion Shangshu and took over the East Pavilion alone. However, this East Pavilion is just an empty yamen.
Lin Ke had been recuperating from his nose injury when he met the "Empress" before, and Han Jian had never met him. Lin Ke is also among Han Jian's "careful" characters, mainly because he has been to the empress's bedroom like Gu Weipan, and may guess that the empress inside is not the real body.
"Lin Shangshu, long time no see?"
Seeing Han Jian, Lin Ke avoided Han Jian, as if he didn't want to come over to say hello. Han Jian took the initiative to greet him and greeted him.
Lin Ke touched his nose with his hand, coughed lightly, and bowed: "The king of the east is here, and he has never been far away, and I ask for forgiveness." ”
"Those who don't know are not to blame." Han Jian looked at Lin Ke's nose with a smile when he spoke, which made Lin Ke quite embarrassed, originally Han Jian thought that Lin Ke would still confront him, but he didn't expect to see him again, he could be so low-key.
Han Jian felt surprised in his heart, so he said goodbye and left, and Lin Ke also entered the courtyard.
The next day, Han Jian personally took Lin Xiaoshu to the new "Anping County Palace" as a guest, and by the way, he told the court about the "hiring" of Yang Xiuxiu.
Originally, Yang Xiuxiu was helping people wash clothes in the yard, because it was inconvenient in the inn, and the family was mostly women, and some clothes were inconvenient to dry.
But at this moment, she heard a rumbling sound in the doorway, like the sound of many riding boots on the ground.
"Bang Bang Bang!" There was a knock on the courtyard door, followed by Han Jian's voice, "Open the door!" ”
Yang Xiuxiu was also taken aback, she thought that if she moved over, this Dongwang would definitely turn a blind eye to her, and it would be difficult to go to Dongwang's Mansion to find trouble in the future, but she didn't expect Han Jian to come to the door in person.
"Hurry up and clean up." Yang Xiuxiu saw that the yard was full of women's clothes, and pointed to the courtyard inside, "Hang it inside." ”
But at this time, the people outside seemed to be very irritable: "If you don't open the door again, I'll be bumped in!" ”
Yang Xiuxiu's heart was angry, and she said whose home this was. She didn't have time to clean up, for fear that someone would break in, and she would lose all her body.
She hurriedly wiped the water stains on her clothes and went to open the door. Opening the door, Han Jian stood arrogantly at the door, making Yang Xiuxiu angry when he saw it.
"The king of the east is coming, and before he is far away, please forgive your sins." Yang Xiuxiu bowed and saluted.
Han Jian frowned and looked at Yang Xiuxiu, who was a little untidy, coughed, and said as he walked inside: "That's it." Can you get something fresh? ”
"Hey!" Yang Xiuxiu lowered her head, and when she raised her head, she found that the man seemed to have entered her own door, and she walked in with her head held high, she hurriedly screamed, but it was too late, and the women's clothes in the yard were all looked at by Han Jian.
"Tsk." Han Jian said in a mocking tone, "It's really bad luck to see it." ”
"Who made you ...... Uninvited? Yang Xiuxiu complained, and hurriedly asked the subordinates to clean up, at this time, there was only one person who entered the courtyard with Han Jian, and Yang Xiuxiu also knew, it was Lin Xiaoshu, who came yesterday, "Steward Lin, hello." ”
Yang Xiuxiu was very "polite" to Lin Xiaoshu, mainly because Lin Xiaoshu helped a lot yesterday and seemed to give her preferential treatment.
Han Jian looked around and said, "Miss Yang is still used to living here?" ”
Yang Xiuxiu thought hatefully in her heart, she had only moved here for a day, how could she not get used to it. Yesterday, because of the rats in the yard, the family couldn't sleep.
Because the people who migrated this time were all female dependents, she had long dismissed the male servants of the Anping County Palace, and the result was that now there were rats in the yard, and she could only count on her second brother to "save the whole family" alone, but her second brother was just a thirteen-year-old boy, and he had the strength to eat and no strength to catch mice.
The family hasn't slept well all night, can this still be called a habit?
"Habit." Yang Xiuxiu replied, "Then thanks to His Royal Highness the East King for taking care of you." ”
As soon as Han Jian heard this, he knew that he didn't mean it, but he came here just to see the excitement, and he had long expected that with Yang Xiuxiu's "delicate body and expensive flesh", he would not live in such a place.
"I'm here this time to inform Miss Yang that Mrs. Gu has decided to hire you as a handyman, and you have to go over to take up the post as soon as possible."
Yang Xiuxiu secretly scolded in her heart, the miscellaneous servants with bigger farts also have to go to work, which is the same as asking a new official to take office.
"Your Royal Highness the East King, forgive me, the little girl's family has just moved over, and there is still a lot to clean up, I'm afraid it will take two days to ...... Appointment. Uh-huh. ”
Han Jian's voice sank and said, "In two days?" That is, Miss Yang is preparing to be absent from work? ”
"Isn't it...... Absenteeism? The little girl is nothing but ......."
Yang Xiuxiu saw Han Jian's somewhat playful eyes, and remembered what Han Jian said before, she can take sick leave, but personal leave must not be taken, and explained that as long as she does not do well, she will be fired.
Yang Xiuxiu thought to herself, I don't want to do an errand. If you don't do it, he will be dismissed, and he will have a reason not to help my family, what should the family do?
"When will you be on duty?" Yang Xiuxiu asked directly.
"Right now." Han Jian said coldly.
"You!" Yang Xiuxiu really wanted to scold, but she still held back, she wanted to be a lady in front of people, "Then His Royal Highness the East King will also wait for the little woman to clean up her makeup, right?" ”
Han Jian looked at Yang Xiuxiu's makeup, it was indeed not as grease and powder as yesterday, she was completely like a housewife at home. However, Yang Xiuxiu is naturally beautiful, although she is twenty-one years old, she is also in her prime, with a bit of a little woman's style.
"Okay." Han Jian nodded, "I'll wait here." ”
"Your Highness, please inside." Yang Xiuxiu took the opportunity to make an invitation, and said in her heart, let you go inside and have a look, your good housekeeper can bring a lot of good things to our family.
Han Jian was invited into the "main hall", saying that it was the main hall, but it was just a temporary patchwork of several tables, chairs and benches. Yang Xiuxiu loves face, in order to make the Anping County Mansion "revitalize", it can be said that she put together all the tables and chairs that Yang Xiuxiu transported yesterday into this room, and then after careful cleaning by the family, the main hall is already very decent.
"This ......" After Han Jian entered the door, he frowned, as if he had entered a kennel.
"King Dong, the humble house is shabby, and it can't enter your eyes." Yang Xiuxiu said mockingly.
Han Jian suddenly turned around, looked at Lin Xiaoshu and said, "Steward Lin, I remember to ask you to find someone to bring over some rosewood tables and chairs, how can this ...... Not like it? ”
"What?" Yang Xiuxiu looked at Lin Xiaoshu, she always thought that Lin Xiaoshu had given her so many things because she treated her favorably, and it turned out that there were still good things that were "privately hidden".
Lin Xiaoshu looked at Yang Xiuxiu and said to Han Jian: "For such a small yard, I'm afraid it's not suitable to use red sandalwood, right?" (To be continued......)
