Ask for collections, ask for red tickets, ask for clicks!
Han Mo and Xiao Tongguang galloped back to the Han Mansion under the escort of several soldiers, and some people had already returned to the house to report to Mrs. Han, but the news of Han Mo's kidnapping did not spread, and few people in the house knew, and Mrs. Han didn't know, that Han Xuanchang was afraid that she would worry, so he deliberately did not inform her.
Yesterday, the pearls handed over to the imperial court had been counted and loaded into trucks for transportation, and considering that the imperial court was in urgent need of silver, although Xiao Tongguang had not yet found it, Chang Dehou was still ready to leave for Beijing today, and the people had left Hanfu, and the convoy gathered in front of the Yamen of Donghai County, ready to leave.
When Han Mo returned home, someone flew to inform Han Xuanchang.
When Mrs. Han saw Han Mo, she thought that he had come back from the barracks, but when she saw him looking tired, she fell in love in her heart, and hurriedly ordered her subordinates to prepare meals, took Han Mo's hand and said, "Son, did you sneak back from the barracks?" Can't get used to the bitterness there, right? Look at it, it's only been a few days, and I've lost weight like this, and I'll talk to your father when I go back, I won't go to calm the army, and stay at home with my mother, okay? ”
Han Mo couldn't cry or laugh, and said, "Mother, who said that I lost weight, I think I'm much stronger." I came back to find my father, what about others? ”
"Still saying you're not thin?" Mrs. Han frowned and said: "I know the suffering in the barracks, you have suffered, my mother understands in my heart, son, I know that you are afraid that your mother will worry about this, my mother understands, you can rest assured, I am in charge of this matter, I will look for him when your father comes back, if he does not agree, I will ask your grandfather to write to him, he does not listen to his wife, he should always listen to his father-in-law." ”
The loving mother has many defeated children, this statement is sincere and not deceiving, even the head of the Hu family has to use it, and the old lady still has good intentions.
Han Mo was helpless, but his heart was warm, since he was a child, Mrs. Han protected herself like a baby, supporting herself in everything, thinking of the time when she lived in a courtyard in the past, Mrs. Han got up in the middle of the night to cover the quilt for herself, Han Mo couldn't help but say softly: "Mother, don't worry, Mo'er is really fine." The child has grown up and is a man, and sooner or later the eaglet will grow into an eagle and spread its wings and fly high. Take care of yourself, don't worry about Mo'er. ”
Mrs. Han stared at her son, although she had only seen her son for a few days, but at this time, she felt that she had become a lot more mature, but she was also relieved in her heart, and said softly: "Yes, the eagle is going to spread its wings and fly high." ”
Although she cherishes her son, she also understands that the future of the Han family still depends on these children, and to support this huge family, it needs to endure all kinds of trials and setbacks.
If you blindly pamper you, you can only raise the gentlemen who abound among the nobles.
Han Mo asked again: "Mother, did my father go to the Yamen?" He didn't know that Changdeokhou was going to leave for Beijing today.
"yes." Mrs. Han said: "Master Hou will return to Beijing today, and your father will send him." ”
"Back to Beijing?" Han Mo was stunned, this Xiao Tongguang had not been found yet, and Cao Yin was really anxious to go back to Beijing.
He was about to change his clothes and wait for his father to come back to discuss the matter of maritime trade, but he saw that Han Qing had already said, "Young master, the master asked you to go to the county guard yamen and wait for you." ”
Han Mo nodded, immediately went to change his clothes first, tidied up casually, and when he went out, he saw that Xiao Tongguang's subordinates had already packed up and saluted, and Xiao Tongguang's face was gloomy, and he looked very bad.
This time when he came to Donghai County, he didn't get half a point of benefit, and he didn't find out a trace of the Han family's secret deeds, but he was kidnapped by the bandits, and he was rectified by Han Mo several times, Xiao Tongguang was unwilling.
What's even more unwilling is that he wanted to find an opportunity to ask Han Xuanchang to think about Aunt Bi day and night, but Cao Yin was in a hurry to set off, and there was no time, so he couldn't help but feel depressed.
"Lord Xiao, Master Hou is still waiting, Han Mo is waiting for you to come over!" Han Mo smiled, and his appearance looked very respectful.
Xiao Tongguang was really a little afraid of this little kid who hid a knife in his smile, and always felt that this kid didn't have a bad idea for a moment, and if he was not careful, he was likely to be rectified by this kid.
He couldn't help but take a step back and said lightly: "Han Mo, the things you did to this official, this official will remember." ”
"What's the matter?" Han Mo blinked, a look of confusion.
Xiao Tongguang was angry.
This kid first beat himself hard in Tingshui Yuanzi, couldn't get out of bed for a few days, and then poisoned himself in the water of washing his feet on the sea boat, causing his feet to itch and drill his heart, and when he came back, he even drew a knife to face each other, all of this was still fresh in Xiao Tongguang's mind, but he didn't expect Han Mo to seem to have forgotten it like no one.
The anger on Xiao Tongguang's face gradually disappeared, and was replaced by an extremely melancholy color, which made Han Mo a little surprised.
"This official has lived for almost fifty years, but there are really few people who are disrespectful to this official." Xiao Tongguang did not show anger, but looked very calm, and there was a rare sincerity in his eyes, Han Mo always thought that this kind of look would not appear in the eyes of this old pervert.
Hearing him say this, Han Mo secretly said in his heart: "There are not a few people, that is to say, there are still a few." With a smile on his face, he said, "Actually, Han Mo has always been very respectful to adults. ”
Xiao Tongguang glanced at him, looked at the orange blossom tree in the courtyard, and said slowly: "Your Han family brothers are united, and the official is very envious in his eyes, and I don't know if it will be like this forever in the future." ”
Han Mo immediately said: "Don't worry, my lord, my brother is harmonious, that is the style of the Han family, my lord doesn't have to worry." ”
Xiao Tongguang smiled and said, "There are some things that you can't just say. Han Mo, you are the strangest of the juniors this official has ever seen, although this official can't predict your future in the future, but he thinks about it. ”
Xiao Tongguang's sudden appearance of these words made Han Mo a little surprised, he smiled, and did not answer.
He really couldn't figure out the character of this Xiao Tongguang, this person seemed to be a big pervert, a big straw bag, greedy for life and afraid of death, but sometimes, he seemed to see something clearly.
In the confusion, with a hint of clarity.
"In this distress, you can be regarded as saving the official, no matter what the reason is, this part of the situation, the official remembers it." Xiao Tongguang was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: "But you teased the official three or four times, and the official also remembered it, this grievance, the official will find you to settle accounts sooner or later." ”
Han Mo said with a smile: "Master Nenglao always thinks about Han Mo, Han Mo is really fortunate in three lives." ”
Xiao Tongguang waved his hand, and finally said, "Let's go, so as not to wait for Master Hou to be in a hurry." ”
……
Xiao Tongguang and Han Mo walked through Jinshifang and came to the yamen of the county government, only to see that the yamen was already full of people, a large number of carts were fully equipped, nearly a hundred well-equipped, burly and fierce wolf armor battalion warriors were guarding the car, and two hundred Donghai County guards were also ready.
Cao Yin, who was dressed in a white brocade robe with a purple jade belt around his waist, said goodbye to Han Xuanchang and other officials of Donghai County, looking gentle and elegant, with a demure temperament.
Seeing Han Mo coming, Han Xuanchang's face was overjoyed and greatly relieved, and Cao Yin also smiled, but when he saw Xiao Tongguang on the side, Cao Yin's eyes crossed a trace of unknown disappointment.
Naturally, he was disappointed.
After all, he represents the interests of the royal family, if Xiao Tongguang is killed this time, the Xiao and Han families will inevitably have a dragon and tiger fight, and they will fight each other, so that the power of the two families will be weakened, which is of course a great good thing for the royal family.
It's just that the heavens don't fulfill people's wishes, but Xiao Tongguang came back alive, but Han Mo was able to get out of danger, and he was happy in his heart.
Han Mo and Xiao Tongguang stepped forward together and saluted Chang Dehou.
Chang Dehou smiled and said: "Ben Hou said that the Ji people have their own natural appearance, how can the descendants of the Han family be harmed by pirates, it seems that what Ben Hou said is not bad." ”
Han Mo said respectfully: "Han Mo is grateful to the Hou Ye for his concern. The bandits were also exterminated, and Hou Ye didn't have to worry. ”
Cao Yin smiled and nodded, didn't ask much, and said warmly: "I will return to Beijing today, and if you can come to see you off, it can be regarded as an unfinished fate." Han Mo, you have to work hard in Donghai County, maybe one day the holy decree will come down, and you will be transferred to Beijing as an official, you have to be good at fighting for the Han family, and you must also be loyal to the monarch and serve the country, so as not to give birth to a man's body in vain. ”
"Master Hou's teachings, Han Mo remembered them in his heart, and he didn't dare to slack off!" Han Mo promised it in his mouth, but he thought in his heart that Yanjing's place was full of traps and silt, and he was unwilling to go to the muddy water until he had to do so.
Yanjing is full of masters, the forces are intertwined, and there are many people with tricks, but it is not as peaceful and stable as Donghai City, at least in this land, it is the Han family who has the final say.
Cao Yin had a greeting with the officials again, nothing more than to appease everyone, encourage everyone to be diligent, loyal to the court, bow to the end of the death and then have been cloudy, after talking for a long time, Han Mo always felt that Cao Yin's eyes glanced at him from time to time, it seems that this "Marquis of Longyang" still has his heart unchanged.
Fortunately, he left today, and he will not have to see this hairy glass again in the future.
After some narration, Cao Yin got into the carriage, Xiao Tongguang also got into the carriage, the carriage and horses set off, and slowly left Donghai City under the escort of hundreds of guards and soldiers.
Although the Hou Ye left, there were still a lot of things to do in the yamen, and Han Xuanchang also saw that Han Mo seemed to have something to look for him, but he was busy with official business, so he only said that he would talk about it later, and Han Mo had to temporarily retreat and wait for Han Xuanchang to come down.
When Han Mo returned to the mansion, he was not in a hurry to go back to the garden to see Liu Rumeng, but went to the stable to see Zhu Xiaoyan, and saw that the guy was leaning against the stable, leisurely peeling steamed buns and eating them, and he only felt that this person's hobby was really special.
He didn't bother, called Han Qing, took the two wooden boxes given by the island owner, selected a few of them and put them in a small wooden box, and made Han Qing hold them, ready to meet Guan Shaohe, and find out how much silver these overseas specialties are.
Han Qing was amazed when he saw these strange specialties, and thought that they were all treasures that Han Mo had found at sea.
……
Qingshang's jewelry trade line is in a wide but not very long street in Xicheng District, called ** Street, the flow of people here is compared to the Xingrui Street of the fishing and seafood shop, it seems that the traces of people are withered, there are a lot of deserted, and the people who come and go are not rich or expensive, and there are few ordinary people wandering on this street.
**The street is not very long, but two or three hundred meters away, in addition to jewelry stores, there are fur shops and several very high-end Qingjin shops.
The fur shop is mainly those expensive fur fur fur and some fur ornaments, all of which are genuine and high-quality, and they face the main rich and noble families, and do not dare to sell fakes, after all, they are really flawed by the rich and noble families here, and they can't get mixed up.
Although Qing Kam Hang and Fur Shop are both dealing in clothes and decorations, the varieties are very different.
Qingjin line buys the famous Qingjin of Qingguo, which is a specialty of Qingguo, the material is soft and comfortable, it is not comparable to ordinary silk brocade, but these Qingjin are sold at a very high price, and it is difficult to afford it if it is not a person with real wealth.
The trading houses on this street do not have to be as crowded with customers as other trading houses, they are authentic and do not open for a day, but open for a month to eat in March.
There are five treasure shops in total, but they are not connected together, even if they are close, there are one or two trading houses in the middle, maybe this is the rule of Qingshang.
Jewelry stores not only buy jewelry, but also sell jewelry, and the profits in the middle are naturally not small, but the bulk purchase is often to transport the jewelry back to Qingguo through a stable and safe commercial channel.
Being able to open a jewelry store and having a safe business channel is generally speaking, such a jewelry store has definitely not a weak background.
Guan's trading house is really the largest in the jewelry line, but also the most magnificent, a total of three layers, antique, hanging a big plaque in front of the door, written "Guan's trading house" five gilded characters, at a glance, there is a small guy standing in front of the door, as long as someone passes by, even if not only the shop, he will nod and smile, it seems very courteous.
Han Mo led Han Qing to the door, and the young man smiled like an orange blossom, and was extremely courteous: "The two masters are invited, jewelry, jade, pearls, agate, jade, sapphires, rubies, gold and silver products, everything for play, the two masters come in and take a look!" He spoke very fast, like saying a tongue twister, Han Mo was stunned for a moment, and then laughed and said: "Brother, it's really condescending if you don't talk about cross talk!" ”
"Crosstalk?" The young man was stunned, he didn't know what it was, but he still smiled and said, "Uncle Xie praises!" ”
Han Mowan smiled and was about to enter the door, but when he heard the sound of footsteps behind him, one person shouted: "Get out of the way, get out of the way!" A huge fat man squeezed through the door first.
Han Mo frowned, Han Qing wanted to do more, but was stopped by Han Mo.
The young man had a bitter face, and before he could speak, the fat man had already shouted: "Guan Shaohe, you come out for me, you don't give me a way to live, and Lao Tzu is not polite to you!" ”
Han Mo and Han Qing glanced at each other, and suddenly understood that this fat man who dared to love was here to seek revenge.
