In the winter of the year when Han Mo was eighteen years old, he finally stepped into the gate of Yanjing City.

The convoy entered Beijing surrounded by officials, and there were already soldiers in front of the road, looking at the mottled city wall, Han Mo couldn't help but sigh, maybe the history of this city is not too long, but the story of this life, or anyone outside the wall can not imagine, from today onwards, he will also be integrated into this story.

In Yanjing City, it is really a bustling, the street is wide, along the way is actually a restaurant restaurant, the green tile light wall, the tree is like a javelin, exquisite and beautiful, the pedestrians on the street come and go, see the convoy passing by, but do not seem how surprised, for them, they often see the pomp and circumstance much larger than this formation. However, knowing that it was an aristocratic convoy, passers-by still got out of the way, and the convoy entered the eastern city smoothly.

The servants of the Han family looked around with curious eyes, they looked surprised, although they had all heard that Yanjing City was very big, but they didn't expect it to be so big, just in terms of the width of the road, it was several times larger than Donghai City.

Yanjing City is divided into the outer city and the inner city, the outer city has a moat, and the inner city is the palace where the splendid idlers are exempt from entering and guarded by the Imperial Forest Army, so the inner city is also called the imperial city.

Between the inner and outer cities, the four urban districts of east, west, north and south, any urban area seems to be much larger than Donghai City.

Han Qin heard the lively crowd outside, and always wanted to open the curtain to see the excitement outside the car, but was stopped by Aunt Bi.

Han Moce immediately stepped forward, caught up with Han Bin, and asked, "Third brother, where is the palace?" Why didn't I see the palace? ”

Han Bin laughed and pointed forward: "Go forward for dozens of miles, there is still the imperial city, the palace is in the imperial city, it is guarded by the imperial forest army, and ordinary people can't enter it." He smiled and said, "But Xiao Wu, you will see you soon, you have made great contributions, and the Holy Lord will always summon you into the palace." ”

Han Mo let out an "oh", and then he realized that the inner and outer walls alone are dozens of miles away, and the area of this Yanjing City can only be described as amazing.

"Little Wu, do you have any silver on you?" Han Bin leaned over with a smile and asked in a low voice.

Han Mo rolled his eyes and immediately said, "No!" ”

Han Bin sighed and said, "It's a pity! ”

Han Mo pursed his lips and said, "There's nothing to be sorry about. Do you want to pique my curiosity? Third brother, let me tell you, I'm not interested in your games. ”

Han Bin just shook his head and sighed, but did not speak.

Hubu Shangshu Mansion is located in the east city of Yanjing, on Qingfu Road, this area is the place where dignitaries live, and there is no room for ordinary people to gain a foothold, so the whole street seems to be very quiet.

This street is not far from the Imperial City, but there is no Royal Palace in sight.

On the deserted street, there is a mansion every other distance, and there are a pair of stone lions squatting outside each mansion, dozens of stone lions are spread out on both sides of Qingfu Road, squatting in front of their own houses, staring at the cars and people walking by the street with boring and lazy eyes.

When the Han family's motorcade passed by, Han Mo saw that there seemed to be eyes looking at the motorcade in the half-hidden gates of the various mansions, he looked left and right, and sometimes even smiled at those eyes hidden in the cracks of the doors, and the gate was immediately closed.

This street seems to have no end to the long street, where there are more than a dozen mansions, all of which are high-level officials, "Shangshu Mansion", "General's Mansion", "Imperial Envoy's Mansion", each mansion seems to occupy an extremely wide area.

"Third uncle, the Shangshu Mansion of the Ministry of Rites is still being repaired, and it is on the same origin road next door!" Han Bin was extremely respectful to Han Xuanchang and explained: "Father said that there are still more than ten days to move in, so please ask the third uncle and the third uncle to stay in our house for a few days." ”

When the other officials sent Han Xuanchang to the crossing, they had already left by car, and only a group of people from the Han family were left at this time.

Han Xuanchang nodded and said, "Well, let's stay here first." ”

The convoy walked down the street for a short time, and saw a group of people gathered in front of a spacious mansion in front of them, and a noble lady was greeting her with a smile on her face.

This woman has a delicate face, although she is not young, but she is very well maintained, her skin is still smooth and fair, her eyes are like lacquer, her body is slightly shaken, the golden hairpin is dazzling, the blue hairpin is bright, although she is smiling, but her temperament is graceful and luxurious, giving people a feeling of not being angry and self-assured.

When Han Xuanchang saw the noble lady, he immediately turned over and dismounted, stepped forward quickly, and saluted respectfully: "Sister-in-law! ”

The noble lady hurriedly waved her hand and smiled: "The third brother has worked hard all the way. Your eldest brother went to the palace, Cang'er ran an errand in the volcano, and it was inconvenient for me to go out of the city as a woman, so I could only let Bin'er go to greet the third uncle. ”

Han Xuanchang hurriedly said: "Sister-in-law Lao is bothered. ”

This noble lady is naturally Han Xuandao's wife, Han Cao.

Han Cao's family belongs to the royal family, his father was a marquis, and he married Han Xuanchang, but later the marquis died, and the background declined, but the identity of the royal family remains the same.

Han Cang is the eldest son of Han Xuandao, and now he is the leader of the Volcano Battalion, one of the five major battalions of the Royal Forest Army, and he is a powerful figure.

At this time, Mrs. Han and Aunt Bi brought Han Qin up, and they all saluted.

Han Cao immediately took Mrs. Han's hand and said with a smile: "My sister has worked hard all the way. I've been thinking about my sister for a long time, and when I heard that you were going to Beijing, I counted the days all day. ”

Mrs. Han said with a smile: "I haven't seen my sister-in-law for a few years, and my sister-in-law is getting richer." ”

Han Cao smiled: "I don't do anything except eat and drink all day, can I not be rich?" But I also a lot of hearts! He looked at Han Bin and said, "You also know that unruly boy in my family, there is no day that makes me worry." I burned incense every day and asked the Bodhisattva, just to know if I owed him in my previous life, and if something didn't happen, his hands and feet would be uncomfortable. ”

Han Bin stuck out his tongue and turned his face away, just snickering.

Han Mo also came up at this time, knelt on the ground, and bowed: "Xiao Wu has seen the eldest aunt!" ”

Han Cao hurriedly pulled it up, looked at Han Mo carefully, and sighed lightly: "The children have grown up, and more than ten years have passed, and we are all old." ”

At this time, a person came up from behind, wearing blue clothes, looking almost fifty years old, although he smiled, but his eyes had a sharp light that could not be concealed, which was very different from the dress of the large group of subordinates behind, and he bowed his hand and said respectfully: "Third master, third lady!" ”

Han Xuanchang looked at this person and sighed, "Han Yin, has always been good?" I haven't seen you in almost ten years. ”

"Thank you, third master, for your concern." Han Yin said respectfully: "The third grandfather has always been in good health? ”

"Good!" Han Xuanchang smiled and said, "Are you okay?" ”

"The eldest master has always taken care of me, although I am old, I still have the strength." Han Yin smiled, turned to Han Cao's and said respectfully: "Madam, the third master and the third lady have been in the dust all the way, let's arrange to stay first." ”

Han Cao said with a smile: "Look at me, as soon as I speak, I don't have a break." Han Yin, let's help move all the luggage to the West Courtyard, it's already packed up over there, right? ”

Han Yin nodded and said, "It was cleaned up years ago, and it was cleaned cleanly." ”

This Han Yin grew up with Han Xuandao since he was a child, and he is Han Xuandao's cronies, and his relationship with Han Xuandao is like the second sect master and Han Bo, Han Mo and Han Qing, and he is a master and servant who is better than brotherhood.

The people began to pack their luggage and go to the West Courtyard, this Shangshu Mansion is extremely spacious, the West Courtyard alone, it is not a problem to live with hundreds of people, and the size of the Korean people from Yanjing are all temporarily living in the West Courtyard.

Han Xuanchang and his wife and Han Mo went to the main hall to have tea.

The tea came up, it was the best Xihe Peak, it was the most popular good tea in Yanjing, and only the illustrious nobles were qualified to drink such tea, and the dim sum with the tea was also the best product, and there were many that Han Mo had never seen before.

It's getting dark, but the weather seems to be warming up over the past few days, and the snow is slowly starting to melt.

"The master said, as soon as you arrived today, you will not be busy with Zhang Luo to catch the wind, you will have a good rest for a day or two, and then you will invite the officials to pick up the wind and wash the dust for you." The smile on Han Cao's face never seemed to disappear, and he said slowly: "Recently, the Holy Lord has not been in good health, and it may take a few days to announce it." ”

Han Xuanchang nodded and said, "Yes." Big brother has always been good? ”

Han Cao sighed: "Where is there a good one." Ye Wu rebelled, the signs were there a long time ago, and the saint had already ordered the lord to prepare supplies, and after the decree was issued, the lord had never slept well. If you want to raise supplies for 100,000 people, you can't just open your mouth, and he doesn't have to say anything about the household affairs alone, but if he can't do the errand, he has to do it...... This is a big victory, the soldiers of the family want to be rewarded for their merits, and they also issued a decree to reward people with silver, isn't this still discussing these things in the palace! ”

Han Xuanchang nodded slightly, of course he also knew that although the six departments of the Yan Kingdom were all the highest officials, each department was mixed with the forces of other families, and coupled with the interference of the cabinet and the royal family, it was impossible to do the government smoothly.

After serving as the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, he will also face such problems in the future, the department is mixed, a mistake, the resignation is a trivial matter, and the loss of the head is a major matter.

Han Xuanchang frowned, he knew that being an official in Yanjing was no better than being in the East China Sea.

Donghai can be generous and merciful, but here, it is necessary to be ruthless, if you don't hurt people, people will hurt you, so you can only use ruthlessness to deter others, maximize your power to the ground, in the final analysis, is to bring the greatest benefits to the family as much as possible.
