90009429 Chapter 304 Han Mansion Night Banquet
※After the daughter of the Hui family fought against the imperial envoy of Yachao, she returned to the mansion and lost her temper. She smashed it... Khan Hall, destroying countless rare antiques. This matter was unrest in the Han Mansion, and the entire servants of the Fu Mansion were secretly discussing this matter.
Everyone in Suzhou City knows that the head of the Han family is Han Zhu on the surface, but in fact it can be said that Miss Han San is the head of Miss Han. This girl has been smart and wise since childhood. She often speaks and thinks outstandingly, and her methods of acting are stable and strange. When she is cruel, she makes her mind shattered, and when she is gentle, she feels like a spring breeze. Even the head of the Han family is ashamed of. The Han family has become more and more powerful in open and secretly in recent years, which is inseparable from Miss Han San's decision.
The Han family also knew that although Miss Han San's expression was very indifferent on weekdays and seemed to be difficult to approach, she had never gotten angry with people and had always been calm and had a tight temper, let alone smashing her front hall. What happened to her when she saw the imperial envoy, which made her so angry when she returned home. This was a mystery that could not be solved.
Han Zhu didn't have time to feel sorry for the rare antiques in the front hall, so she ran to the backyard to ask about the reason for Yizhen. But after Han Yizhen got angry, her temperament returned to her usual calmness and calmness. Han Zhu asked her what she just shook her head and said nothing, which made Han Zhu anxious.
"Could it be that the imperial envoy, Lord Fang, he was ill-treated to you?" Han Zhu thought about it, and this was the only possibility. When he followed the officials outside Suzhou City to greet the imperial envoy, Han Zhu felt that Fang Zheng's face did not look like a good person at first sight.
"Dad, you don't have to ask the bottom of such a small matter." Han Yizhen said lightly, but when he heard the clay bamboo say that the imperial envoy was "intentional to do something" to her, his tight pretty face still couldn't help but pass a bit of blush, and then a bit of anger flashed in his eyes.
"Dad, if my daughter doesn't expect it, Fang Zheng, Lord Fang should come to our Han family tonight. My daughter is not very familiar with the Jiangnan tax case. But my daughter understands that the imperial envoy has just gone to Jiangnan and has not yet figured it out. It would be too unwise to take action against my Han family at this time. My daughter speculates boldly, and the imperial envoy may not be willing to make a grudge with my Han family.
Han Zhu shook his head and said, "What do you say about the imperial envoy robbing my family's goods? This move is obviously intentional. Why didn't he rob others but rob us?"
Han Yizhen's eyes also flashed a little doubt and hesitated: "Maybe, maybe this move is just a test of the imperial envoy, and there is no malicious intention. Maybe the imperial envoy has other plans."
He shook his head slightly. Even though Han Yizhen was very wise, Fang Zheng robbed her without thinking, but his intention made Han Yizhen become more and more confused the more she thought about it. Of course, she didn't know that Fang Zheng had no intention at all, and robbed her goods solely just to make money.
If he couldn't figure it out, he didn't think about it. Han Yizhen looked up and said seriously: "Dad, no matter what, my Han family cannot make enemies with the imperial envoy. From the emperor to the court in the capital, we are already afraid of the aristocratic families in Jiangnan. If we make enemies with the imperial envoy at this time, it may cause great trouble to the Han family. When the imperial envoy comes, my father might as well release some kindness to the imperial envoy to eliminate the imperial envoy's doubts. If the imperial envoy still suspects that my Fu family is involved in the Jiangnan tax case, we can only show sincerity to dispel the imperial envoy's suspicion.
"Are you sincere in taking out a piece?"
Han Yizhen sighed and said, "Besides standing completely on the ship of the imperial envoy, what other sincerity can my Han family have?"
Han Zhu's eyes narrowed and he said in a deep voice: "Zhen'er, what you mean,"
Han Yizhen nodded: "Dad, when necessary, I can only explain Li Shishu." "Han Zhu was shocked and immediately shook his head and said: "No, I have been in love with Bo Yan for decades, how can I do such an unrighteous thing? No. It's absolutely not!"
Han Yizhen sighed and said, "Dad. My Han family has nearly a thousand lives. In your heart, can't you resist the Uncle Li Shi? Things are ruthless. When you give up, you still have to give up, small."
Han Zhu trembled all over when he heard this, and beads of sweat were constantly coming out. He closed his eyes, calmed down and said slowly: "Is it so serious? It's just a tax case, involving more than 20 million taels of silver. Although the amount is huge, my Han family can also pay it out. Will it harm the Han family's lives? "
Han Yizhen's eyes emitted a wise light. He looked at Han Zhu and said softly: "Dad, don't you understand? Now that the new emperor in Beijing has ascended the throne, he has sent his most trusted minister to Jiangnan. This move has other profound meanings. Investigating the tax case is only superficial. More importantly, the new emperor wants to use this matter to clear the aristocratic families in Jiangnan, eliminate hidden dangers that are unfavorable to rule, and establish authority for all the aristocratic families in the world."
When Han Zhu heard this, he felt as if he was struck by lightning, his whole body trembled more and more obviously, and the horror in his eyes could not be concealed.
Han Yizhen woke Han Zhu up with a few words.
Yes, more than 20 million taels of tax silver, is this case big or small, but no matter how small the new emperor's most trusted minister takes action, it can be seen that Fang Zheng's purpose of going to Jiangnan is definitely not that simple. The family of the world has become more and more powerful over the years, and it is certain that the emperor and ministers in the court in the capital are afraid of it. Now that Fang Zheng has sent him to Jiangnan, he must have used the tax case to give the aristocratic family a strong force to consolidate the influence of the imperial power on the people of the world.
Watch the chess in a dangerous way!
Han Zhu wiped her head full of cold sweat. Looking at Han Yizhen's quiet pretty face, she smiled bitterly: "You are really young, you think deeply. I didn't expect that on this level, thanks to you, the Han family is small."
Han Yizhen smiled: "Dad, my daughter is also a member of the Han family, of course I have to consider the Han family more.
Han Zhu thought for a while and said in confusion: "The noble family has lived for more than a hundred years, and its power is so strong that it is so powerful that the new emperor's net has taken such a big deal. Aren't he afraid that the aristocratic families will join forces to make his rebellion? Emperors of all dynasties have been determined to suppress the aristocratic families. But no one can accomplish this. Why is the new emperor's right?
Han Yizhen shook his head and smiled: "The new emperor will definitely not offend all the aristocratic families in the world. He will not do such a stupid thing. To put it bluntly, it is only the emperor's method of checks and balances. He can win over the majority and suppress the very few. It can not only establish authority, make the aristocratic families in the world fear, but also gain the loyal support of many aristocratic families, killing two birds with one stone. It is a good idea to see the wonderful chess."
Turning his head to look at Feizhu, Han Yizhen said softly: "Dad, if my daughter is good, the imperial envoy must have a scheming case before going to Jiangnan. Uncle Li Shi's name is already on the list of the imperial envoys. Even if you don't tell Uncle Li Shi out, do you think the imperial envoy will not attack Uncle Li Shi? At that time, if the imperial envoy took Uncle Li Shi, the next one to him would be our Han family. After all, the one closest to Uncle Li Shi is the Han family. The so-called killing one and arrogance, our Fu family may become a victim of the imperial envoy's authority. Dad, you should break it! If you take the initiative to hand over Uncle Li Shi out, you will be the first head of aristocratic family to get closer to the imperial envoy. Then Dad, you will be the first head of aristocratic family to approach the imperial envoy. Dad, then you will be the first head of aristocratic family to approach the imperial envoy. Dad, then you will be asked by the imperial envoy again.
Protect the time of x-interstitial advertising, oh Uncle Ding Bu's life. It's not too difficult. Dad, I can't betray you. I cry to save my life!"
Han Zhu thought about it, then smiled, looked at Han Yizhen deeply, and sighed: "It's still really smart, so you can look at retreating as you advance. You not only saved the Han family, but also saved Bo Yan, but, alas, how can I explain to him there? I will think about this again, and think about it again." x interstitial advertising time
Han Zhu frowned and muttered, while walking away.
Han Yizhen looked at Han Zhu's back and sighed softly. Then she thought that the annoying disciple might come to the Han Mansion tonight. Han Yizhen's pretty face turned red for no reason, and a hint of shame and anger flashed in her eyes quickly, and then disappeared quickly, and her eyes gradually became cold.
Fang Zheng finally decided to go to the Korean mansion to have a banquet.
Han Yizhen was exactly what he expected. Fang Zheng went to Jiangnan not only for the tax case, but more importantly, he wanted to sort out the aristocratic families in Jiangnan and prevent them from threatening the fat man's rule. This actually means similar to the ancient "reducing the vassal states", but the movement is not that big and the nature is not that serious.
Of course, Fang Zheng is a reasonable person, and it is impossible to give the aristocratic family a stick without reason. Before leaving, the fat man explained that the main focus was to win over and suppress it as a supplement. This time, when he went to Jiangnan, Fang Zheng held a big stick in his left hand and candy in his right hand, and saw how the aristocratic family in Jiangnan chose.
Fang Zheng thinks the Han family should choose candy.
The Han Mansion is not far from Fang Zheng’s imperial envoy’s hall. It is not only not far away, but also very close, so close that the two sides are separated by a wall.
The Han Mansion is next to the imperial envoy's hall. It is worth mentioning that the Suzhou prefect's yamen, which is where Li Boyan lives, is only separated by a wall on the other side of the imperial envoy's hall. The Han Mansion and the prefect's yamen sandwiched the imperial envoy's hall in the middle.
At sunset, the guards came to report that Han Jiu, the head of the Han family, had been waiting outside the hall and asked the imperial envoy to go to the banquet.
Fang Zheng was stunned and then smiled and said, "Oh. I have a great face. The head of the Han family came to invite me in person. This etiquette can be achieved."
Xiao Huaiyuan smiled and said, "Although the Han family is the first family in Jiangnan, they are still not worth mentioning in front of the imperial envoy representing the emperor. It is time to pick up the adults in person."
Fang Zheng smiled and looked at Xiao Huaiyuan and said, "Xiao Xiao, I think you have become much cuteer since you became an official. Now when I see you, I feel that you feel a sense of intimacy from the bottom of my heart, just like
Xiao Huaiyuan looked happy: "Is it like it's OK?"
Fang Zheng's eyes became distant and confused: "It's like seeing my unborn son. Oh, I really miss them mother and son,"
Xiao Huaiyuan's face turned dark in an instant: "Sir, it's too much, you are so harmful to others.
Fang Zheng laughed, patted Xiao Huaiyuan's shoulder intimately, and shouted: "Don't be too careful, I'm praising you!"
"Is this a praise for me?"
Anyway, you just think I'm praising you."
”
At this time, Wensen came over and Fang Zheng asked, "What's going on with you?"
Wensen said respectfully: "My sir, fortunately, Li Boyan's backyard has been buried in three brothers as servants. In addition, several brothers are lurking in his back hall, who are closely monitoring Li Boyan's every move."
Fang Zheng smiled with satisfaction, rubbed his hands and said, "It's great, everything is ready. Let's go to the Han Mansion to have a lot of food and drink. Maybe that old man Han Zhu is generous and will even give us red envelopes."
After eating and drinking, I turned around and went to Li Boyan to find the bottom of the plate, including eating, drinking and taking, and then completed the task assigned by the fat man. Oh, it's very beautiful."
"Sir, I, the official, won't go?" Xiao Huaiyuan looked embarrassed. This guy had a shadow of eating with Fang Zheng. He never wanted to sit on the same table with Fang Zheng again in his life. Fang Zheng's vagina has been in vain several times.
"You are the deputy envoy of the imperial envoy, how can you not go? Don't worry, at least you don't have to worry about this meal. Anyway, someone else pays the bill, I won't impolite you this time." Fang Zheng smiled extremely kindly.
Xiao Huaiyuan shrank suddenly and then his face turned bitter. Listen, Lord Fang said so much! But "this time" is not sinister. The implication is that it will be wrong next time.
"Sir, I still have two steamed buns in my room that I haven't finished eating,"
"Stop talking nonsense! Let's go!"
Han Zhu's attitude was extremely respectful, and even a bit humble. Not only did he personally greet Fang Zheng in front of the imperial envoy's residence, but he also gathered all the children of the Han family in front of the Han mansion to welcome him.
Fang Zheng was caught off guard by Han Zhu's enthusiasm, and he secretly guessed in his heart, why did Old Man Han be so enthusiastic to me? Could it be that he did something that sorry for me? No, if you say sorry, I am even more sorry for him. The batch of red goods from the Han family is still in the hands of Luo Yueniang in Qinglong Mountain. "Oh, no, there will be no good things. There will be no good banquet. Maybe this old guy will not only not give me a red envelope today, but will ask me for the batch of red goods. He lost a lot.
Han Zhu saw Fang Zheng's face was a little surprised and suspicious. He couldn't help but look at him secretly. He became more and more sure that his daughter's judgment was correct. This imperial envoy, Mr. Fang, indeed, suspected that my Han family was involved in the tax case, otherwise why did he always look suspicious? Fortunately, he could be invited to the Han Mansion today. At that time, we only need to show the imperial envoy that the Han family's attitude is small, which may dispel his doubts."
The two of them smiled kindly and kindly in front of them, but they had their own thoughts in secret. Unfortunately, what they thought was far apart and went in the opposite direction. They didn't expect to go together, which was really ridiculous.
After entering the Han Mansion, Fang Zheng and the other two walked in front. Han Zhu had a gentle smile on his face and introduced every scene of the Han Mansion to Fang Zheng. Even if the head of the aristocratic family had the intention of making good friends, he would not lose the face and demeanor of the head. It is impossible for the other Fang Zheng to be servile and humble, so Han Zhu has always been neither humble nor arrogant and speaks appropriately. Only Fang Zheng, the person involved, can understand the humility implicitly in Han Zhu's attitude.
"Mr. Fang, please look here. This small building, called "Mountain Tower", is a poem from the previous dynasty: "It is advisable to walk on the water pavilion at the same time, and the mountain pavilion is looking at the evening. Here is secluded, and you can also look up at the distance, facing the neighboring Canglang Pavilion, cry, sorry. I'm sorry. I've lost my words, and it should be "Yingqin Pavilion, facing away from afar, so this is where the little girl plays the piano and plays chess on her daily life."
Fang Zheng nodded casually, feeling a little impatient. This ancient man was troublesome when he spoke and did things. I came to your house for a meal. Wouldn't you just serve wine and food? He had to take us all over the garden,": What's the matter with Fang who plays the piano and plays chess? If you introduce your daughter to sleep, I will be quite interested.
Bypassing the winding corridors and water pavilions, Fang Zheng couldn't help but sigh that the aristocratic family was aristocratic family, just looking at the architecture and layout of the Han Mansion. Its magnificent color has a calm and grand power. Even though the Fang family is the richest man in the Chinese dynasty, the momentum of its mansion is not as good as that of the Han Mansion.
"If you lead the bandits from Qinglong Mountain down the mountain to loot the Han Mansion, it's worth a lot of money." Fang Zheng thought secretly. His thinking is always different from others. Heng Pei, who sacrificed the boat and won the house to punish the penalties, Bi Jie took Han Zhu, smiled and pointed to the sky, and said, "Master Han, it's getting late."
"Ah? Han Zhu didn't react for a moment.
Fang Zheng pointed to his stomach again, with a bit of pitiful smell: "We are hungry."
"Ah! Lord Fang forgives his crime, I am forgetful of his crime. Haha, please ask me, I have already arranged it. I have had a meal in the front hall of the humble house."
"That's great!" Fang Zheng passed by Yan Kai: "It's really better than anything else. Isn't it much better to stuff it into his stomach than these broken scenery? Mr. Han really said!" Cough cough, I have lost my composure,"
Mr. Han wiped his sweat:,”
I really can’t guess this imperial envoy!
Everyone followed Han Zhu to the front hall of the mansion. The hall had already arranged wine and food, but it was not everyone who ate around the table. Han Zhu was unique and imitated the ancient rituals. He arranged mats and table tables in two rows in the spacious front hall. Everyone sat in the guests and chairpersons, and then the maid served each person a wine and food. Simply put, they all had their own food.
Fang Zheng frowned secretly, "It's okay to eat until the meal is over, but if we really follow the ancient etiquette, everyone will kneel down to eat, which makes Qi Zheng secretly unhappy. Did Old Man Han deliberately mess with me?
Fang Zheng was the imperial envoy and Han Jiu was the master, so after the two gave in, they naturally sat in the head guest and the main seat. Xiao Huaiyuan and Wen Sen accompanied Fang Zheng on the side.
After a few greetings, Han Zhu ordered the maid to serve wine and food. There was a plate of food in front of each person, and the plates were filled with delicious wine and delicacies.
At this time, Han Zhu picked up the wine glass and smiled and greeted Fang Zheng with a few words of wine. After everyone drank several glasses, Han Zhu clapped his hands. More than a dozen people looked good and graceful in the curves of the breeze and sequels. Then, the melodious music of the flute and sheng came out. The breeze danced with long sleeves and danced gracefully in the empty front hall.
Fang Zheng watched the dancers casually, and his face suddenly became a little worried.
"Sir, what's wrong with you?" Xiao Huaiyuan, who was standing beside him, looked at Fang Zheng with a wrong expression and turned his body to the side and asked softly.
"Not right," Fang Zheng said with a serious expression: "Do you think this situation looks familiar?"
Xiao Huaiyuan thought about it after hearing this, then his face changed and he glared at Fang Zheng fiercely: "Of course I look familiar! Isn't he just treating you like this when the prince held a flower viewing party back then? Humph! Do you still miss the feeling of Sisilo in your arms?"
Fang Zheng nodded involuntarily, saw Xiao Huaiyuan's eyebrows stand up, and hurriedly said, "Hey, I don't mean that, do you think this meal is very much like our last supper?"
"What's the meaning?"
Fang Zheng frowned and said worriedly: "Look at the records in history books, those villains were invited to the banquet, and then they drank and danced in the front hall, and they had a very happy time. Finally, the owner suddenly turned against each other and used the cup as a sign. The sword and axe ambushed outside the corridor rushed in and turned the villain into a sauce of dog meat.
Fang Zheng looked at the dancers dancing happily in front of him with concern. Old Man Han wouldn't give me this, right? For the sake of that batch of red goods, is it? I left after I gave it to you, stingy
Xiao Huaiyuan sneered disdainfully when he heard this: "You are judging a gentleman with the heart of a villain. Cough cough, sorry, sir, the official said nothing. He said nothing,"
Han Zhu gently stroked her long beard and smiled at these dance techniques, twisting her graceful body, feeling quite proud.
To be continued...
