The atmosphere of the New Year, although there is a lot less festive taste because of the national funeral, but the etiquette should not be missing.

Han Fei's status is not what it used to be, and there are many more relatives in Han Mansion who have appeared out of nowhere. The Han family has a strict order, no matter what kind of relatives, the subordinate must be kind to the reception, but how to receive, basically similar to other big families in the capital, the subordinate receives the name of the first report to the housekeeper, and the housekeeper decides whether to report to the master of the house according to the importance of the person.

Therefore, the busiest family in Beijing is not the master, but the housekeeper. This is also the time to witness the ability of the housekeeper, the person who can serve as the housekeeper of the big family in the capital, the most basic one, must be well aware of the major forces in the capital.

The Han government also sent a lot of New Year's greeting post, there are customary rules in Beijing, everyone is busy during the New Year, and relatives and friends who are generally friendly basically send a famous post to express the New Year's greetings. Moreover, with Han Fei's status today, there are not many people who need him to go to the New Year in person.

The second day of the Lunar New Year was the busiest day, Han Fei went out early in the morning, first went to the Beijing Palace, and then went to sit on the Mansion of Gong Jing, and when it was close to noon, he rushed to the Mansion of the Grace Master Duyun.

Yu Shiying, who rushed to Du's mansion first, and Du Liang Du Wei, rushed to the gate of the mansion to greet them when they heard the news.

"Senior Brother Yu, junior brother estimates that you have also arrived at the Teacher's Mansion, so I didn't send someone to your mansion to pay New Year's greetings!"

"Senior Brother Han, we don't have to worry about these vulgar etiquette between our senior brothers, wait for leisure, it's not too late for us to get together again!"

"It's okay, in two days, the younger brother will send someone to take the senior brother and his wife and nephews to the house, and everyone will have fun together!"

Du Liang saw that Yu Shiying and Han Fei had been talking non-stop, and hurriedly said: "Let's go to the mansion, my father is still waiting behind!" ”

"Good!" Han Fei looked at Du Wei next to him, and said again: "After two years of experience, Brother Wei's temperament is obviously different, this time after getting married in the capital, don't go to Jinling, just concentrate on studying in Beijing, next year will be the year of Dabi!" ”

"Brother-in-law, my father said the same thing!" Du Wei hesitated for a moment, and then said: "But I still want to go to the people to declare and practice for a while!" ”

"Let's go to the northern version of the people's declaration, Brother Liang has taken on the errand of the commander of the special guard, and he has less time to live at home, so you can accompany his father-in-law and mother-in-law more, and at the same time familiarize yourself with the connections in the capital!"

Han Fei followed his brothers into the backyard, greeted his father-in-law and mother-in-law, chatted a few words, and then followed Du Yun and Yu Shiying into the study to talk.

Du Yun looked at the two proud protégés in front of him, and sighed with emotion, Yu Shiying was already a miracle in his thirties to achieve the fourth grade of Zuo Yushi, Han Fei was even more rebellious, but after a few years of hard work, he was the prince guest of the Zhongyi Hou Zheng Sanpin in his twenties, and he was also in charge of the most wealthy department of the imperial court, the Commercial Bureau.

Du Yun deeply felt that it was a very wise decision to marry his daughter Du Lan to Han Fei, although her daughter was an aunt in name, Han Fu enjoyed the treatment of a lady. Besides, there is no difference between the aunt of the Hou Mansion and the wife of ordinary people, Han Fei is the Hou Ye at a young age, and there will definitely be further possibilities in the future.

"Shouzheng, what are your plans for this year?"

Han Fei smiled faintly and said, "Father-in-law, what other plans can I have, the emperor has already arranged for me, and in the next few years, my duty is to protect and teach the prince to grow up and become a talent, and at the same time make money for the imperial court." The prince is young, so he doesn't need me to teach for the time being, and my main task is to make the business of the commercial bureau bigger and stronger. ”

Du Yun bowed his head and said: "Shouzheng, you are too young to enter the center too early, and the emperor also wants you to assist the prince." The old man originally planned to let you be released as a transfer envoy this year, but now that the prince is born, the emperor will not agree to your release, so you can stay in Beijing for a few years and decide depending on the situation! ”

"Father-in-law, I am not in a hurry to take on important ministry, just take advantage of the idle past few years to guide Dahua Business to carry out major changes, this step is good, and the future economic prosperity is expected!"

"Well, Shouzheng, your good game of chess is beneficial to the country and the people, and your methods are clever!"

Du Yun smiled and said: "In the name of the emperor, you asked the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to voluntarily buy the shares of Dahua Commerce and Trade Corporation, although many people complained, but they would not object. To be honest, the old man was quite confused by your actions at the beginning, but now that I think about it, this interlocking strategy is wonderful! ”

"My father-in-law won the award, I also took a step at the beginning, and I didn't think so much, but now it seems that the merchants are very receptive to the new model, so they will take advantage of the situation to deepen the reform. The company system management model has a very good effect on improving industrial efficiency, if the Suzhou Du family is willing to reorganize and issue shares, it can be reorganized according to the details published in the civil declaration, and if there is something unclear, you can send someone to Jinling to ask Xue Zhen. ”

At this time, Yu Shiying suddenly said: "Senior Brother Han, I heard a rumor in the Metropolitan Procuratorate that the Jia family intends to overturn the case for Jia's amnesty?" ”

"I've suppressed this matter!" Han Fei said in a deep voice: "They are getting carried away, they are ready to act after listening to the instigation of others, they were scolded by me yesterday, how can the Jia family make waves at this time?" ”

"Shou is right, to maintain the status of the imperial concubine and the crown prince, the Jia family must not be too public!" Du Yun pondered for a moment, and then said: "For the sake of the stability of the political situation in the imperial court, the emperor had better have more princes......

Han Fei understood what Du Yun meant, and hurriedly said: "Father-in-law, the emperor has a special body, and he must recuperate for a period of time, I have already told the emperor about this, and I originally planned to treat it at the beginning of spring, but now during the national funeral, it is bound to be postponed." ”

At this time, a Wupeng ox cart came to the gate of Hanfu, and three strange guests got out of the car. It is strange because there is a young nun inside, and the other two are middle-aged women.

Han Mansion Menzi saw that the clothes of the three people were very simple, and they only came to Han Mansion to climb up, so he asked, "What are the three of them doing when they come to Han Mansion?" I don't know if there is a famous post? ”

The woman in the middle of the three looked up at the "Zhongyi Hou" plaque on the gatehouse, a smile appeared on her face, and said, "The old man came to find Han Fei, let him come out!" ”

Now who else in the capital dares to call Han Fei's name, Menzi was stunned, and was about to scold, but suddenly felt that the middle-aged woman's tone of voice was unusual, and he couldn't guess the identity of the middle-aged woman, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, so he said modestly: "This lady, the Hou Ye went out to pay New Year's greetings, I don't know what you are looking for the Hou Ye, the small report is made to my wife!" ”

"Han Fei is not at home? Is Ling'er there? ”

The middle-aged woman not only called Han Fei by name, but now she also called Ling'er by name, and Menzi suddenly determined that the identity of the person who came was not simple, and hurriedly entered the house to report.

In the backyard of the Han Mansion, the ladies and aunts who stayed at home were gathering together to play mahjong for recreation. When Ling'er heard that there were three women, she didn't pay much attention to it, and when she heard that there was a young nun among them, her heart was shocked, and she said urgently: "Ladies and aunts, put away the mahjong quickly, there may be a distinguished guest!" ”

He Cuiqin drew a good hand of cards and was reluctant to give up, so she said, "Sister Ling'er, who is here?" ”

"I'm going to see it!" Ling'er hurriedly walked out, and as soon as she walked to the door, she suddenly turned to He Cuiqin and said, "If Aunt He knows someone who came, before Master Hou comes back, be cautious!" ”
