Although Lin Xiaoshu always wants to play a lady, she is not at all. She was born in the market, and she can't be considered an ordinary family, his brother and little nephew are all local security, and the ruffian hooligan-like characters, and she is also like an eldest sister, although she gets along well with the neighborhood on weekdays, but she can't change her bad temper after all.

"Don't hide. Can you hold back next time? Han Jian said with a smile and got up to leave.

"Hey, what do you mean?" Lin Xiaoshu asked angrily behind her back, she felt that she might have been scolded by Han Jian.

"Temperament, you have to change slowly."

Han Jian said something that made Lin Xiaoshu stomp his feet.

Since Lin Xiaoshu became the treasurer of Shangqingxu Yashe, she began to cultivate her ladylike personality, and she also felt that it was wrong to always be as unforgiving as before. But it is difficult to change her personality, and she wants to be a big shopkeeper who serves the public, and it is not enough to rely on a lady, so as soon as her temper comes up, she calls him the king of heaven and Laozi, and scolds him first.

But now she has exposed her bad temper again in front of Han Jian, which makes her very annoyed. If she wants to do big things now, there may be many officials who will listen to her in the future, whether it is to see a squire, or to see a figure who is both military and political, the appearance of a fierce woman will only make people laugh.

"Wait, who said I can't change my temperament?" Lin Xiaoshu looked at Han Jian's back and said to himself angrily.

……

……

The New Year is coming unexpectedly.

For the people of Jiangdu, this New Year has been very bleak, and prices are still high, although the Dongwangfu side has begun to help the poor, but the effect is not great. Many people would rather leave Jiangdu in the cold. When they go to the local countryside to celebrate the New Year, in order to have one meal a day, there are many cases of selling children and daughters in the city.

On the first day of the first lunar month, three days after Zhu Tongjing left Jiangdu, the Dongwang Mansion announced the matter of borrowing grain from the Qi Dynasty. For a time, public opinion was in an uproar.

Ordinary people are naturally happy, and when the price of food drops, their lives will return to normal. For the average small and wealthy household, the price of food does not affect their daily life, and they are not too concerned about it.

Of course, the merchants who were most concerned about this were the merchants who had hoarded large quantities of grain. Once Nanziken borrowed grain, it would mean that their grain would depreciate. In the future, you may lose all your money.

The announcement of the East Prince's Mansion is very low-key. It was not made public, but only announced to ordinary people. So much so that some businessmen knew that they also knew it from the list text, and they didn't get any news from the officials of the Dongwang Mansion in advance.

The people rushed to tell each other, and naturally felt that life was promising. And the merchants also gathered with each other to discuss this matter. They are unanimous in their views. It's about wait-and-see.

On the first day of the first lunar month. Food prices have not changed. There are no price increases, and no price reductions.

Neither of the ordinary people came out to buy food on this day. But whoever has something to eat. I don't go out on the first day of the new year to buy daily necessities. They had already prepared a certain amount of food before the end of the year to cope with the difficulties at the end of the year.

On the side of Dongwangfu, Han Jian's family is also celebrating a festive New Year. However, on this day, there were a lot more people who came to the Dongwang Mansion to greet him, whether it was the local officials in Jiangdu or the local officials, they all hurried to Jiangdu, saying that they were here to greet the New Year, but in fact they came to inquire about the grain borrowed from Nanqi.

Han Jian didn't see any of these people. As usual, the reception of these guests was the responsibility of Han Song.

Because Han Jian had already told Han Song's in advance how to deal with these people, Han Song's deal was also very simple. Han Song's own family is good at socializing and communicating, and all those who come to Dongwangfu are subordinates, Han Song's family deliberately didn't say it, and these people had no way at all.

But after all, there are still some old ministers, who have served in the Dongwang Mansion for many years, and asked about Nanqi's borrowing of grain in public.

Han Songshi sighed and said: "Now the people of my Wei Dynasty are struggling to make a living, so they can only cut the land to borrow grain from Southern Qi, which is also a helpless move. This is not only the decision of the East King, but also the decision of His Majesty. You still don't have to talk about it. ”

The officials present looked at each other. Now that Han Song has taken out the East King and the Empress, it is as if to say, if you dare to raise objections, you are an enemy of the imperial court.

These officials are all sleek and sophisticated, and they also know that the Dongwang Mansion has long been aware of the presence of grain in the place, but it has only been stolen by a few people. And these officials, to a greater or lesser extent, have interests in it. If Dongwangfu and Nanqi borrow grain and come back, the loss will be the merchant group represented by them.

These officials were very clever and did not immediately put forward their opinions, but only tactfully expressed that such "borrowing grain" was like being coerced by Nanqi, which was really unwise.

The officials then left in batches.

Han Songshi didn't pay much attention to it, she felt that since the idea was proposed by Han Jian, and the matter was also arranged by Han Jian, she just needed to try her best to make a good round.

But then, before noon, Han Song's family was preparing for a family reunion for dinner, but they heard a report from the guards that a group of ministers of the imperial court wanted to break into the queen's bedroom.

"Who dares to be so bold?" Han Song was furious, and she thought that maybe this matter had something to do with borrowing grain.

Those ministers of the imperial court, when they learned that the Eastern Prince's Mansion exchanged land for grain with Southern Qi, would definitely feel that the land in Jiangdu was given by the Wei Dynasty's imperial court, and the Eastern King had no right to exchange it for anything with Southern Qi. Even if the empress now hands over all the major affairs of the court to Han Jian, it will not work.

Han Song's clan immediately sent people over to stop those ministers, lest these people find out that the empress was not in Jiangdu at all.

Wait for Han Songshi to return to the inner courtyard and inform Han Jian of the matter. Han Jian smiled and said, "Erniang, don't worry, I have been prepared for a long time." ”

"Are you prepared? When did it happen, why didn't Erniang know? "Han Songshi was surprised, Han Jian didn't know her to do these things?

Han Songshi also knew that the current Han Jian was no longer a child, and he had a foresight in doing things, and he should have thought about the various possibilities that might happen from the time he proposed borrowing grain.

At this time, Han Jian was eating "hot pot" with Gu Xin'er and Wen'er, in Han Song's opinion, this was a very unobtrusive way to eat, and he actually lit a stove on the table.

"Erniang, eat together?" Han Jian said with a smile.

"Do you still have the heart to eat?" Han Songshi glanced at Han Jian and said, "Why don't you go to the mansion and have a look?" ”

"Erniang, I'm going now, it proves that I have a loss in my heart, and those ministers will definitely use this to attack me. Erniang, what do you say I'm going to do? ”

"You go ......"

Han Song wanted to say that you should go and stop those people, and don't let those people go in and notice that the empress is not there.

But when she thought about it, now in order to "guard against assassins" on the side of the mansion, the guards are impenetrable, and they are all guarded by people from the East Palace, even if the general minister goes, who would dare to break in?

If anyone breaks in, the crime of killing the head is light, and no matter how much trouble these ministers can make, at most they will just kneel down and die, and they will not go through this set if the empress does not come out.

But then again, now that the empress is recuperating in the sickness, how can she come out to meet people?

"How many people have you arranged? Do you want to add more manpower? Han Song's demeanor also calmed down, and he asked faintly.

"There are enough people. If they make trouble, let them make trouble. Han Jian smiled and used chopsticks to give Wen'er the freshly cooked green vegetables to eat, Wen'er wanted to take them, but seeing Han Song's beside her, she was usually just a maid, where did she dare to reach out?

Han Song didn't say anything more, but she also realized that the reason why those ministers of the imperial court got the matter of borrowing grain from Nanqi from the Dongwang Mansion so quickly was because those officials of the Dongwang Mansion secretly ventilated to these people. Because from beginning to end, only Han Songshi had said to the Jiangdu officials before, and it happened that after that, the officials of the Luoyang faction of the imperial court went to the Chengdong Mansion to make trouble, and it was too much of a coincidence between the two.

"Jian'er, I'm going to have a reunion dinner in a while, don't eat so much. Come out, I have something to say to you. Han Song said.

"Okay." Han Jian took out all the contents of the pot and put it on Gu Xin'er's plate. Gu Xin'er held the plate, but she didn't dare to make a mistake in front of Han Song's family.

Originally, they ate hot pot, and they were happy to eat "a family of three", but Han Song's came in and ruined this beautiful atmosphere.

"Wen'er, pack up your things." Han Songshi pulled Han Jian out of the door and said with a straight face.

"Got it, princess." Wen'er pouted, although she was not hungry, she felt very happy when she thought of Han Jian feeding her before, and now that this happiness was deprived by Han Song's family, she was naturally very depressed.

"I'll clean up with you." Gu Xin'er got up and said.

Han Song's face softened a little and said: "Xin'er, don't get used to this girl, don't forget, she can be regarded as your dowry girl, you will be the master in the future, and she will be your servant." ”

When Gu Xin'er heard this, she no longer helped Wen'er pack her things, but glanced at Wen'er apologetically.

She didn't help because she didn't want to hurt Wen'er. Originally, Wen'er was just a maid, although she was Han Jian's personal maid, but according to the rules, she would also be sent out of the house after Han Jian got married. Now Wen'er can enter the room, all because Han Songshi also felt that Han Jianjian couldn't lack this little helper, so he "gifted" her to Gu Xin'er.

Sometimes, the master helps the maid not to help, but to harm. In front of any elders, it is unforgivable for a subordinate to make a mistake, and Wen'er did not change the identity of a slave even if she entered the house.

Han Jian felt hungry at this time and had to come out to say something for Wen'er.

"Erniang, although the cleaning up is left to the maid to do, Wen'er is only responsible for taking care of me and Xin'er now, but she is not obliged to clean up the housework." Han Jian said.

Han Songshi glanced at Han Jian again, and when Han Jian said this, he was obviously coming to Wen'er to confront her.

However, Han Songshi also knew that Han Jian had always been very good to Wen'er and treated her like a family member, so he didn't say anything more.

"Wen'er, put the things down, and find two maids to move the things to the side hall in a while, and we'll cook and eat them at lunch."

After speaking, Han Jian smiled and followed Han Song's out of the house.

As soon as Han Songshi came out, he sighed softly, and Han Jian felt that Han Songshi seemed to have something to say.

"Erniang, what happened?" Han Jian asked.

"Athlete...... Over there, there's news. (To be continued......)
