Chapter 262 [Hiring Door-to-door]
On the second day of Han Mo's camp, the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion had been repaired and dried for a few days, so on this day, Han Xuanchang's family began to move out of Han Xuandao's mansion and moved to the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion on Tongyuan Road.
More than 100 people brought by Han Xuandao from Donghai County, including grooms, guards, samurai, maids, servants, cooks, etc., were placed in the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, which was more than enough.
The Ministry of Rites was originally held by a member of the Wu family, and this mansion was once the residence of the Wu family.
The foundation of the Wu family is in Bozhou County, and some of them are silver, and this mansion has spent a lot of thought back then, with pavilions and pavilions, and small pavilions in the cloister, which itself is extremely elegant.
It's just that when the Ye and Wu families joined forces in Yanjing to rebel, the imperial court cleared the rebellion in Beijing and killed the mansion, this Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion is the Wu family's base camp in Yanjing, and it was also after a bloody battle, and it was badly damaged, so it has been repairing since then, and those seriously damaged buildings were directly demolished and removed, and the relatively minor damage was repaired.
Although a lot of buildings have been demolished, but the original general outline of the Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion has not changed, the front hall, the main hall, the back garden, the east and west courtyards, and then there are side courtyards, academies, stables, martial arts training grounds, are also repaired in a decent manner, the entire Ministry of Rites Shangshu Mansion occupies an area, not smaller than Han Xuandao's Hubu Shangshu Mansion.
Just like in Donghae County, Mrs. Han and Han Xuandao lived in the East Courtyard, and the East Courtyard also had a front hall and a back hall to count out the garden, and Mrs. Han's garden was in the front hall Xiangqi Garden.
Aunt Bi lived in Chu Xiangyuan in the West Courtyard.
Han Mo has a residence in Qirui Garden in the back hall of the East Courtyard, but just like in Donghai County, he still made people build a few elegant pavilions in the back garden, and it is even more inscribed by himself, which is called "Pinfeng Xiaoxie".
The move took two days, but fortunately, there were many people and it was not too slow.
Aunt Bi's body was getting weaker and weaker, which finally alarmed Han Xuanchang, and she went to the West Courtyard to visit in person, and she also asked a doctor to be carefully diagnosed, but he was busy with official business, and he didn't have much time to take care of this matter, just let Mrs. Han take care of it.
Mrs. Han also felt that Aunt Bi's body was getting weaker and weaker, and she wanted to seek medical attention, but she was stopped by Aunt Bi several times, and only said that she knew her body by herself, so she didn't have to worry too much.
Mrs. Han saw that Aunt Bi insisted, so she followed her, but asked her subordinates to make more supplements to nourish Aunt Bi's body.
……
……
It is no secret that the children of the Han family and the Fan family are related to each other in the upper echelons of Yanjing City, and everyone knows that Fan Yunao's daughter wants to form a good relationship with Han Xuanchang's son.
The various factions in Yanjing naturally have different minds.
But for the Han and Fan families, the sooner this matter is promoted, the better, and only when it becomes a fact can the two become allies in the true sense.
Next, according to the rules of Yan Guo, the man should take the rehired and future son-in-law to his father-in-law's house to visit, according to the saying of Yan Guo, it is called "recognition ceremony".
The day after Han Xuanchang moved out of the Hubu Shangshu Mansion, Han Xuandao, who was in charge of this family business, took Han Mo and prepared two carts of gifts to the Shangshu Mansion of the Military Department.
The Fan family is naturally prepared, and they also attach great importance to the family business of maintaining the future of the family.
The relatives of the clan also gathered in the Fan Mansion, the ladies and wives gathered in the back hall, and the men of the Fan clan waited in front of the mansion, and when they saw the arrival of the Han family's carriage and horses, they immediately played drum music, which was very festive.
Han Xuandao got out of the car and stepped forward, and Fan Yunao also quickly stepped forward, both of them with smiling faces and a kind face.
Han Mo got out of the car and saw that the front of the Fan Mansion was already full of people from the Fan clan, although he had always been bold, but this time it was the prospective son-in-law who came to the door, this kind of scene was the first time he had experienced it, even on the battlefield in the past, he may not be nervous, but in today's scene, somehow, he felt that his heart was beating hard, looking at the Fan family, all eyes were on him, although he tried his best to show ease and calmness, that face was very red.
The big and small people of the Fan clan all know Han Xuandao, but most of them are not qualified to go to the court, and only a small number of officials in the court have seen Han Mo.
Fan Yunao obviously still loves this prospective son-in-law, and immediately took Han Mo and introduced all the big and small members of the Fan family to Han Mo one by one.
This is a major event in the clan, in addition to the officials in the Fan clan, there are also many clan elders who are not official gentry but have quite prestige in the clan, and none of them can be neglected, after this circle of introduction, Han Mo has always maintained a smiling face, and he feels that the muscles on his face are a little sore.
After introducing the clansmen, Fan Yunao took Han Xuandao's hand and welcomed him into the mansion, and Han Xuandao had to let his subordinates carry the car and dowry to the mansion.
This batch of dowry gifts, which the Han family thought about, is not only precious, but also has many treasured items from Nanyang in the middle, which were transported back from Nanyang by Han Mo's fleet.
This Nanyang item, even if it is an ordinary thing, is extremely precious when it is obtained from the Central Plains, not to mention that in this batch of dowry, many Nanyang items, even in the Nanyang Islands, are extremely expensive, and when they are transported to the Central Plains, it is even more of the finest of the best, and it can be regarded as a great capital.
This is to show the sincerity of the Han family, and the most important point is to show the wealth of the Han family to the Fan family.
The ranking of the Yan family and the Han family has always been ranked behind, which is considered from a comprehensive aspect, and the most important thing is nothing more than the power of the dynasty, family wealth and mobilization ability.
The ability to mobilize, the Han family has always had a strong appeal, and the Han family has implemented benevolent governance in the East China Sea, which has won the support of the people, so it is not a lie to say that the Han family is responding to every call.
But before Han Xuanchang entered Beijing, the Han family's power in the court was not strong, compared to the Xiao family, the Su family, and the extinct Ye and Wu families, they were far inferior, nothing more than the Fan family and the He family.
In terms of wealth, although the Han family relies on the sea, the seabed resources have always been strictly controlled by the imperial court, and the sea cannot eat the sea, and the accumulation of wealth is naturally extremely weak.
Therefore, the three points are combined, and the overall strength of the Han family is not too strong.
However, Han Mo opened the sea route, invisibly, has affected the economic situation in the East China Sea, after the rebellion in Bozhou County, the Han family has benefited greatly, and its power in the DPRK has increased greatly, and among the six departments, it has occupied two places, and it can be said that there is already an absolute self-protection force in the DPRK.
The Han family wants to form an alliance with the Fan family, and naturally let the Fan family see that the Han family not only has increased its power in the court, but also has a strong economic heritage, and it is the most suitable means to show the Han family's economic potential to the Fan family through Nanyang goods.
After the alliance between the Han and Fan families, the two families are consistent externally, but internally, there is naturally a distinction between priority and subordination, and the Han family naturally wants to rely on the power of the Han family to lead the Fan family to follow the strategy of the Han family.
This is like the alliance between the Xiao family and the He family, the power of the He family is definitely not weak in the Yan country, but after forming an alliance with the powerful Xiao family, they can only follow the Xiao family with the flag and be in a passive position.
The band in the Fan Mansion has been playing cheerful music, Fan Yunao led Han Xuandao into the main hall of the Fan Mansion in the burst of music, and sat down on the left and right sides of the main hall, and the Fan clan also sat down on the left and right sides of the hall, Han Mo came to the door as a quasi-son-in-law, and he stood by Han Xuandao's side, but he was not qualified to sit down today.
"Brother Fan is so grand today, that's the outside." Han Xuandao said with a smile: "I can hear the wonderful music of the immortals here a few miles away, and thanks to you waiting here, Xuandao is really ashamed!" ”
Immediately, a person below smiled and said: "The Fan and Han families are about to become in-laws, and it is important to welcome Lord Han!" ”
Everyone laughed.
It's just that Han Mo feels that there is really nothing funny about this sentence, looking at the smiles of these people, they all seem to fall to the bottom of their hearts, which really admires the humor of these people.
Maybe these people may not have much joy in their hearts about this family business, but they are happy because the Fan family has found an alliance that can advance and retreat together.
Looking at the entire government and the opposition, among the remaining six families, Xiao Su is strong, the He family follows the Xiao family, the Hu family and the Han family are allied, these five families all have a certain amount of power, although the power of the Fan family is stronger than the Hu family or even the He family, but there is no alliance in the court, but it has fallen into an extremely dangerous situation.
Once the forces are weak and they fight alone, they will definitely become the target of those powerful families, so at this time, the Fan family can quickly form an alliance with the Han family, which has an unusual significance for the two families.
There was laughter and laughter in the main hall, all of them were harmonious, and they were all auspicious words, Han Mo stood beside Han Xuandao respectfully, Si Swenwen, slightly hanging his head, cautious, most of the eyes in this hall often wandered around Han Mo's body, after all, he was the son-in-law of the Fan family in the future, and he had to take a good look.
Han Mo's appearance, needless to say, is delicate with masculinity, that bronzed skin not only does not affect his overall appearance, but adds a strong toughness to his delicate face, just looking at his surface, it is definitely a first-class handsome man, soft and strong, not like the kind of gentleman who seems to be white but is weak inside, Han Mo gives people the feeling that there is a strong temperament that is difficult to describe in the low-key.
In the midst of laughter and laughter, I saw a person coming in from outside the door, saluted respectfully, and said, "Master, the old lady and Mrs. are waiting in Ciqinzhai!" ”
Han Xuandao hurriedly said: "This is my fault. He turned his head to Han Mo and said, "Don't go with me, go to the back hall to meet the old lady!" ”
Before arriving at Fan's Mansion, Han Mo was also instructed by his family to know that there was such a link.
Yan Guo's relatives, on the day of this appointment, naturally do not mention the men in the women's clan, but also go to see the female relatives of the clan alone, these female dependents are also married women, three aunts and six mothers-in-law or something, this is a link in the "recognition ceremony", and it is the most important link, that can not be a little sloppy.
Han Mo's heart jumped, if he was asked to meet thousands of troops, he might not be worried about being nervous, but if he wanted to meet this group of old ladies, he only felt that his heart was beating faster, and his face was hot.
He didn't know that when he really saw that group of ladies and wives, he could only be regarded as a pediatrician when he had met a large group of male relatives in front of the mansion before.
