Chapter 277: A Family Reunion
The news that Han Fei solved the mystery of the military fire case and was sealed by the emperor on the spot has been transmitted back to the Han Mansion and, of course, the Jia Mansion. When he rushed back to Han's mansion, Jia Baoyu was already sitting in the front hall waiting.
Jia Baoyu was originally Han Fei's third brother, but he didn't want to become his own brother, and he even regarded Han Mansion as his own house, and no one in Han Mansion dared to treat him as an outsider.
"Congratulations to the second brother for his meritorious service in solving the case and being promoted again!"
When Han Fei married Xue Zhen and Jia Baoyu, they were the second. Now that his life experience is revealed, Jia Zhengben has an eldest son, Jia Zhu, who died young, Han Fei is the second in line, and Jia Baoyu is next. Speaking of which, the "second brother and third brother" of the two seem to be destined in the dark.
"Third brother, solving the case is just a fluke, aren't you confined to studying in the mansion, why do you have time to come to the mansion today?" Han Fei waved his hand to let Jia Baoyu, who was welcomed, return to his seat, sat on the main seat by himself, and said casually.
"Second brother, the younger brother came on the orders of my grandmother and father, and my grandmother and father are very happy to learn the news of your meritorious service in solving the case!"
Han Fei frowned, understanding that Jia Mu and Jia Zheng specially asked Jia Baoyu to come here, I am afraid that they were not just here to congratulate, so he said, "Third brother, does grandmother have other orders?" β
"Second brother, it's not because it's lively!" Jia Baoyu said: "The weather is too hot now, after Sister Lin and the others moved back to live in the house, they always talked about the electric fan in the second brother's house, the meaning of grandmother and father, whether the second brother can also install a set in the house, at least one in the grandmother's room!" β
After Lin Daiyu's illness was cured, there was no reason to continue to stay in Hanfu, and she, Xue Baochai, and Shi Xiangyun moved back to Jiafu to live. The weather was hot, and it was natural for them to think of the benefits of Hanfu electric fans. But when it came to installing an electric fan system for Jiafu, Han Fei couldn't let go for a while.
Jiafu is a big family, how can it take care of one or the other? Installed in Jia's mother's room, can there be less in Jia's house? Then next, in Jia Yu's house, in the house of many girls and young masters, and in Ning Guofu, none of them can be offended. This system is down, and the amount of money spent is huge, and with the current relationship between the Han and Jia families, it is impossible for the Jia Mansion to contribute.
Not to mention this for the time being, the Jia Mansion was installed, and other mansions closely related to the Han Mansion, such as the Beijing Palace, the Nine Princesses' Mansion, the Gong Jing Mansion of the Ministry of Rites, and so on, and even the Imperial Palace...... When the Han family first came to the capital, the foundation had not yet been laid, and they definitely couldn't afford it.
"Third brother, you have also seen it, a set of electric fan system needs to prepare a lot of equipment, this set of equipment in my house is still shipped from Jinling, the craftsmen and manufacturing workshops are in Jinling, how can I install it in Rongguo Mansion?"
"The second brother and the younger brother also told my grandmother and father about it, but my father was worried that it was too hot and my grandmother's body couldn't bear it!"
"It's definitely not going to work this year, let's talk about it next year, my grandmother is old, and I'm really worried...... Well, grandmother, come to my house! β
"Second brother, grandmother has long wanted to live here again, but I'm worried that she is coming, and those girls also want to come, and there will be a ......lot of trouble in the house when she arrives."
Han Fei interrupted Jia Baoyu's words and said: "There is no need to say these things when you see outsiders, it's not like there is no place to live in my house, you go back and tell your grandmother, let her and the girls come over, and go back when the summer is over!" β
"Well, I'll go back and report it! Second brother, to be honest, the conditions in your house are so good that I want to live here too! β
"You still study honestly in the house, and strive to make achievements in the field as soon as possible, so as not to disappoint your grandmother, and when you return home, let the next person carry two truckloads of ice cubes back!"
Han Fu dealt with Han Fei, basically all of them were female dependents, and it was impossible for Jia Baoyu to live here, so he returned home after a few jokes. Han Fei returned to the backyard, informed Wang Ruolan of the news that Jia Mu and others were coming, and asked her to arrange for someone to prepare. The scale of Hanfu is huge, and there are many empty houses, and no matter how many people can't live there, they can't afford to live. Han Fei estimated that Jia Mu and others proposed to install an electric fan as an excuse, but they still wanted to live here.
Jiafu reacted quickly, and in the middle of the afternoon, a carriage and horse sent Jia's mother and the girls to the cages.
One night passed, and not long after Han Fei got up, someone reported that Jia Mu and others would come. He originally planned to go to the Hanlin Academy to be on duty for a while, so he ordered a subordinate to go to the Hanlin Academy to take a day off and stay in the mansion to greet Jia Mu and his party.
In the middle of the morning, Jia's mother and the girls arrived at the Han Mansion under the escort of Jia's subordinates, and Han Fei and the women of the family rushed to the gate of the mansion to greet them.
"Grandmotherβ"
Han Fei welcomed Jia's mother and the girls to the flower hall in the backyard, and instructed the maid to turn on the electric fan, and suddenly a cool breeze came to his face. The electric fan has been replaced, and Han Fei has installed an eccentric wheel device, which can swing left and right on its own during operation, so that there is a cool breeze in the whole hall.
"This is an electric fan? Sure enough, it's a treasure! Only Fei'er has such a magical ability! The old lady couldn't help but walk up to the electric fan and look at it curiously.
Han Fei hurriedly helped Jia's mother sit back on the chair and said, "Grandmother, you just entered the house from outside, you are sweaty, and it is easy to catch a cold if you are too close!" β
At this time, the subordinate brought in a large box, and after opening it, there was a strong feeling of coldness, and the subordinate took out a porcelain jar from it, poured the milky white liquid into the cup, and presented it to Jia Mu and others.
Jia Mu glanced at it and exclaimed, "Fei'er, is this milk?" Where do you get so much fresh milk from in this weather? β
Han Fei said with a smile: "Grandmother, I raised a few cows in the village outside the city, and they were only sent to the city last night, and they were chilled, although this thing has a bit of a smell, but it is excellent for the body!" β
"Mother-in-law-" Just when everyone was talking and laughing, Xiao Yushuang took the toddler Han Cheng and walked into the flower hall.
"Good baby, come to your mother-in-law!"
Jia Mu laughed, squatted down, touched Xiao Yushuang's head, picked up Xiao Han Cheng and sat back on the chair. She glanced at the aunts of the Han Mansion in the hall, and suddenly said to Han Fei: "Fei'er, don't just be busy with official business, you have to give your grandmother a few more great-grandchildren!" β
Han Fei was about to reply, when a maid came in to report, "Master, Aunt Li sent someone to summon the news, and they arrived in the capital before noon!" β
"Xiangjun, they've arrived? Great, it seems that today is the day of our family reunion! Han Fei hurriedly said to Jia's mother: "Grandmother, Xiangjun and they have just arrived in the capital, and their grandson will go out of the city to pick them up!" β
Han Fei went out of the city and rushed to the roadside pavilion about five miles to wait, and sent his subordinates to contact Li Xiangjun and his party. About half an hour later, a huge convoy arrived near the pavilion, a carriage broke away from the convoy and rushed to the edge of the pavilion to stop, and several women got out of the car, the first person was Li Xiangjun.
Han Fei stepped forward with a smile, and suddenly saw the last person to get off the car, and said strangely: "Senior Sister Du, why did you also enter Beijing?" β
Du Lan's eyes flashed with joy, he walked up to Han Fei's side, and hummed with his mouth puffed: "Senior brother, you still promised your father to take care of me, and you didn't welcome me into Beijing!" β
"Senior sister, why am I not welcome? I thought you were going to enter Beijing with your teacher, but I didn't expect to come here first! β
"Daddy is going to Beijing after the New Year anyway, I suffocated at home, so I came over with Sister Xiangjun! Moreover, if you give me the task of growing chili peppers, how can I be irresponsible? β
Duran's reason seemed to be bright, but what Han Fei saw in her eyes was a lovesickness that could not be hidden.
