Chapter 303: Jiafu New Year's Greetings
After all, the relationship between the two families is different, and Han Fei has already recognized Jia Zheng's father, which has made the relationship between the two families closer. On Chinese New Year's Eve, Han Fei declined the invitation to go to Jia Mansion for the New Year, and decided to go to the New Year on the first day of the new year and have a reunion dinner with Jia Mu and others.
In fact, Han Fei's visit to Jia Mansion on Chinese New Year's Eve was not pretentious, there was a particular emphasis here. According to the rules of this era, those who have to worship their ancestors before eating Chinese New Year's Eve, Han Fei's identity is more embarrassing, his mother is not officially included in Jia Mansion, that is to say, he is an illegitimate son with a lower status than Shuzi, and he is not qualified to worship his ancestors with his descendants.
It is impossible for Han Fei to accept this, he himself can not care, and he will never allow his mother's status to be unclear. If the Jia family could not give his mother a proper name, he would not go to worship the ancestors of the Jia family.
Today's trip to Jiafu is nominally a New Year's greeting for a reunion dinner, but in fact, it is equivalent to formally worshipping the sect as a descendant of the Jia family, and it is also a tacit understanding that the two sides recognize each other. Based on this, the women of the Han family attach great importance to it and put on formal clothes early.
Han Fei attended the banquet of the Emperor Taishang at noon, and as soon as the banquet ended, he said goodbye to the Emperor and the emperor and left the palace.
"Big brotherβ"
Han Fei was about to leave the palace gate, when he suddenly heard the shouts of the ninth princess Zhang Wanyi, and couldn't help but be surprised: "The princess is not in the palace to accompany the emperor, and she wants to leave the palace?" β
The ninth princess approached Han Fei's side and said, "Big brother, you are going to Jiafu to pay New Year's greetings, I heard that Sister Baoqin will also go, should you also go to this palace?" β
The ninth princess has already assigned marriage to Han Fei, and the princess's mansion and the Han mansion interact extremely frequently, and it is not surprising that the ninth princess knows this. He shook his head and said: "Princess, your identity is different after all, it's not good to go now, besides, you should accompany the Emperor more, after our wedding, there are many trivial matters, so we don't have so much time to be by the Emperor's side!" β
"Well, then the eldest brother will say hello to my grandmother on behalf of the main palace!"
Han Fei rushed back to the Han Mansion and saw that the women in the family were dressed very ceremoniously, and said with a smile: "What are you doing here, why don't you just go to have a meal, it's like you want to go to the palace to meet your mother!" β
Xue Baoqin greeted him and said coquettishly: "After all, the sisters are entering Jiafu for the first time to pay New Year's greetings to their ancestors, so they can't lose their etiquette!" β
Han Fei understood the mood of the women, so he didn't say anything anymore, glanced left and right, and asked, "Why aren't Senior Sister Du and Miaoyu here?" β
Wang Ruolan said: "Uncle, Miss Du and Miss Miaoyu said that it is inconvenient to go to Jiafu? β
"What's inconvenient? Living in the Han Mansion, it is the Han family, call them to go together, the New Year, it is too lonely to leave the two of them at home! β
Rongguo Mansion also attaches great importance to the fact that Han Fei's family is coming to pay New Year's greetings to have a group dinner, and Jia's mother instructed herself to prepare for the reception, and this reunion can be regarded as Han Fei's unofficial recognition of his ancestors and his return to his ancestors.
In the eyes of outsiders, the Jia family is the top family of the power pyramid, but the discerning person knows that the Jia family has shown signs of decline, and the rise of the Han family next to the Jia family has given this old family new hope. Now people in the power circle know that the Jia and Han families are one, and the Jia and Han families also maintain a harmonious scene.
However, insiders of the Jia and Han families know that the two families are losing their strengths, and the balance of strength comparison has tilted in favor of the Han family. Jia Jiakong has the false name of the two dukes, and he has some substantial influence in the DPRK, and although the Han family is only an earl, everyone knows that the development space of the Han family is unlimited.
"Uncle's car has already entered the street!"
The family member in charge of the watch shouted loudly while rushing back to Jiafu. Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu, who were sent to answer in front of the door, immediately ordered their subordinates to prepare to fire cannons to greet them, and Wang Xifeng and Li Zhi, who were in charge of answering the female dependents, also rushed to the front of the mansion surrounded by Yahuan. It can be seen that Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Wang Xifeng, and Li Zhi are dressed very formally, which shows that the reception ceremony of Jiafu is very grand.
The sound of firecrackers had just stopped, the smoke had not yet dissipated, and the convoy composed of five carriages, under the escort of the Yahuan family, slowly arrived in front of the Jiafu Gate, and Jia Lian, Jia Baoyu, Wang Xifeng, and Li Zhi greeted them down the steps in turn.
"There is Lao Lian's second brother and third brother to greet you!"
"Second brother, come into the mansion quickly, the old ancestor is waiting early in the morning!"
Han Fei followed Jia Lian and Jia Baoyu into the mansion first, and then the ladies of the Han Mansion got off one after another, and walked into the mansion under the greeting of Wang Xifeng and Li Zhi. The beauty of the ladies of the Han Mansion and the gorgeous costumes immediately attracted the attention of the onlookers in Jiafu, especially when they saw Qingwen, who was born in Jiafu Yahuan and has now become the master of Hanfu, they are all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.
When the Han family entered Jiafu, the first thing they had to do was to formally pay New Year's greetings to their elders, and the main characters of Jiafu were all concentrated in Jia's mother's house, waiting for this moment.
Han Fei, as the head of the family, was naturally the first to enter the door and greet Jia's mother, uncle Jia Yu, father Jia Zheng and the ladies, followed by the daughters. It is impossible for so many female dependents to flock into the hall in a swarm, and the order of entering the door is the ranking of the female dependents in the Han Mansion.
Although Xue Baoqin has not officially married into the Han Mansion, her status has been decided, and she should be the first to enter the door. followed by Wang Ruolan and Liu Ruyi, Liu Ru is the person who holds the real power in the Han Mansion, ranking second, no surprise, Wang Ruolan can be ranked with her, and those who know the inside story know that this is Han Fei not forgetting his roots. Next, He Cuiqin, Gu Hengbo, and Li Xiangjun side by side, and finally Cuilan Yin Xinqingwen.
Duran and Miaoyu entered the door as guests to meet the principals of Jiafu. Miaoyu's appearance has attracted the attention of many people, especially when she changes back to secular women's clothes, which is a big surprise to many people.
After the New Year's greeting ceremony, the women continued to stay at Jia's mother to chat, while the men went to the outer hall to talk.
At this time, Han Fei walked up to Jia Zheng and said, "Father, I have something important to discuss with you!" β
Jia Zheng was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Han Fei's solemn expression, he immediately said, "Go and speak for my father's study!" β
After entering Jia Zheng's study and retreating, Han Fei said straight to the point: "Father, just now in the palace, I recommended you to the emperor as a judge officer, but this is on the surface, you don't need to participate in the affairs of the judge, and your other secret identity is the promotion officer who develops new firearms." However, because of the need for secrecy, this task is located in the Jinmen Mountains, and if you want to be a good promotion officer, you will inevitably suffer some hardships, and the emperor is worried about whether your body can withstand it, so let me ask for your opinion! β
"My father's body is still strong, and I am not afraid of hardship!" Jia Zheng pondered for a moment and asked, "Fei'er, you proposed this project to develop a new type of firearm?" β
Han Fei nodded and said: "Yes, once this firearm is successfully developed, it will be an important weapon of the country, and the emperor will definitely attach great importance to it, and it is precisely because of this that I recommended my father." My father is currently working as an insignificant outsider, and it is very difficult to go further, and this project is a great opportunity for my father, and I have a complete plan to ensure that my father completes the task. My father endured for a year or two and made great contributions, and the emperor will definitely reward him. β
"For the Father to understand your heart, take this task!"
"Okay, tomorrow we will enter the palace together and put things into place! At that time, I accompanied my father to Tianjin to select a site and formulate a research plan. However, this matter must be kept strictly secret, and the family can't say it! β
